PAGE 14 Wednesday September 6 2017 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Your Local Views Giveaways with safety in mind Drinking sensibly is important when on the water, as conditions can quickly change writes Jim Dilley, regional harbourmaster I just saw a photo of Gary Manch and his mates on holiday, relaxing by the pool in the warm sun, drinking what looks like a nice, cold beer. Apart from the fact that he was in his Speedos, it was a great photo showing what a good time can be had socialising with friends and a drink. I’ve done my fair share of socialising both when working at sea and when off sailing on the yacht. There has also been the odd occasion when I have had a few too many, talked a load of garbage and fallen asleep. Boating, fishing and hanging out at the beach gives us a great chance to socialise. Making sure we do it sensibly is the key. I have got it wrong a few times and am now a bit more cautious. Weather changes, having to go and help another person in trouble, breakdowns or just bad luck mean we do need to be able to respond appropriately and after a few drinks that ability is hindered. Cabin Boy’s Corner It’s best to save the beers for the end of the day when safely ashore. Gary conveniently arranged for 80 large boxes to turn up at my office on Tuesday in his absence, and we had to unload them by hand. Nice timing, Gary. Every year, Environment Canterbury produces a series of giveaways for boaties that help remind everyone about staying safe on the water. This year we have waterproof cellphone cases, floating key rings (in the shape of a life jacket,) sunglass straps and magnetised notepads for the fridge. If you see our navigation safety staff Gary, Tim or Stu around this summer be sure to say “hi” and grab some gear. The giveaways are designed to remind boaties about our key messages, but we want them to be useful items. If you have any ideas on giveaways we may be able to produce, that are useful, and get our messages on then, please let us know. We had a call one recent Saturday, saying there was a rundown yacht slowly sinking on its mooring in the Cass/ Corsair Bay area. The message read: “Easy to spot, it’s the grotty looking one down by the bow.” Upon having a look, we could see at least six boats that fitted that description. We normally get a few boats each year that get in such a poor condition that the owner abandons them. In some cases, we are able to locate the owner and get them to sort the vessel, in others we end up removing the vessel ourselves. If you see something out of the ordinary give us a call and we will try to sort it out. We can’t fix everything but we will give it go and let you know what happens. Have a great couple of weeks. Spring has been seen a couple of times so hopefully you have all the work done on the boat ready for a good summer on the water. Dictionaries popular Ferrymead Rotary has been supply pupils at Te Waka Unua School with printed dictionaries, writes Barbara Crooks If you’re one of those who thinks printed dictionaries aren’t cool any more, you need to talk to the year 4 children at Te Waka Unua School. They love them. And they use them to build many skills, says teacher, Bebe Wards. They are used as class sets and take-home books. The children are excited when asked to find a word, she says, and like the games around looking up words and their meanings, especially finding how many meanings there are for a particular word. This also helps with their spelling. Knowing the alphabet is a must when looking up a word in a dictionary, so the children are taught tricks to speed up the process – such as looking at the top of the page for clues about the words on that page. These are all useful skills that can be transferred to electronic devices as the children progress to higher levels where technology is more plentiful in classrooms. Ferrymead Rotary has been supplying these dictionaries to several schools in the Bay Harbour area for many years. Every year club members have a discussion about the value of the dictionaries and whether or not they have been su- KNOWLEDGE: Zahlia Hampton and Juliana Sefo of Te Waka Unua School love their dictionaries. perseded by electronic mediums. However, Mrs Wards says the printed versions are a resounding success with her class. The children are delighted with the dictionaries, which are stacked with colourful pictures and small stories about animals, places, and events. Dictionaries are subsidised for year 4 students in low decile schools by the Bill and Lorna Boyd Trust. Bill Boyd, a New Zealander, was president of Rotary International, the international body of Rotary which covers more than a million members in more than 200 countries.
