The Duncan-Caley’s son
Connor, 8, was diagnosed with
a brain tumour in June last year,
which then caused him to develop
Posterior Fossa Syndrome,
leaving him unable to blink,
swallow, move or talk.
He has undergone several operations,
weeks of radiation, and
Parklands Lotto & Post
four months of chemotherapy.
On top of that Connor’s father
Mark Duncan-Caley lost his job
when the company he worked
for went into liquidation, and the
earthquake-damaged house they
bought as an ‘as is where is’ is
now subject to insurance issues.
So the community has rallied
around to help them out with a
fundraising art auction.
Connor and his parents are
currently living at the Wilson
Centre in Auckland, which
provides a rehabilitation service
for children.

Freedom
campers
come
under
fire again
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SPOTLIGHT is going on
freedom campers parking up
from North Beach to South New
Brighton.
Forty complaints about their
activities were made to the city
council between October and
late February.
More than 300 comments
were posted on the People’s
Independent Republic of
New Brighton Facebook page
debating the freedom camping
issue.
A North New Brighton
resident, who only wanted to be
named as Nicky, was outraged
when she saw a freedom camper
washing her underwear in a
drinking fountain in the North
Beach car park on February 24.
In spite of being asked to stop
by Nicky and another woman,
the freedom camper continued.
“I told her, we don’t like this,
this is disgusting, kids drink
out of this including mine,
can you please go and do it in
the changing rooms, this is a
drinking fountain, but she just
shrugged it off . . . I just found it
really unhygenic.”

IF EVER a family deserved a stroke of
good luck it is the Duncan Caley’s.
On page 1 today, we highlight their
plight – a terribly ill child, dad’s out of
work and the house they bought
post-quake has major insurance issues.
Most of us have had quake insurance problems, but add on
the sick child and losing your job and it makes it one tough
mountain to climb – just to get to the start line.
So the community is rallying around to do what they can,
and a fundraising art auction will be held this month.
Event organiser Maureen Taane sums it up: “If there ever
was a whanau in need of assistance, this is the one.”

Bid to keep Prestons bus route
• By Sophie Cornish
PRESTONS subdivision
residents have come up with a
plan to keep their bus service.
They want to reroute the 125
bus which travels from Redwood
to Westlake and Halswell.
The bus currently turns
around in Farquhars Rd, Redwood.
But residents want the
route changed, so it travels to
Prestons and turns around at
the roundabout on Te Korari St.
Environment Canterbury
is planning to axe the 150
Kids day
out in the
red zone
Children’s Day was held on Sunday
in the red zone on New Brighton
Rd. The free event had children’s
activities including performing
arts, crafts, demonstrations, sports,
bouncy castles, climbing walls,
water-walkers and face-painting.
Several Christchurch organisations
and the city council put the event
together with the help of more than
200 volunteers.

bus route from The Palms to
Spencerville which travels
through Prestons as part
of several cutbacks across
Christchurch.
The 150 route is the only
bus which goes through the
subdivision.
Consultation is now open for
ECan’s 2018-2028 Long Term
Plan and the public is invited to
make submissions.
Prestons resident and frequent
bus user Connor Sanders
prepared and submitted the
proposal to ECan and has
received support from other
residents who have also made
submissions.
He included some advantages
and disadvantages of the reroute
in his proposal.
Advantages of the re-route
would mean Prestons residents
would be given access to areas
such as Northlands Mall, Bishopdale,
Avonhead, Hornby,
Halswell and the airport.
It would also save the cost
of removing several bus stops,
which were only placed a few
months ago.
The re-route would add
around 5min to the total trip
time.
One problem with his plan is
that the route would go through
2.5km of rural land where there
is no housing.
However Mr Sanders’
counter-argument is that the
125 bus already travels around
several stretches of fields around
Wigram and Halswell.
“I believe many would agree
this is a minor addition and
would hardly affect the profitability,”
he said.

WESTHAVEN TREE PROJECT
The timeframe for work on a
project in Westhaven, in which
residents identified trees and
infrastructure that need attention,
has been moved out due to the
number of trees involved and the
mapping of the area. An update
is expected to be given to the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board about the project later this
month.
RAWHITI DOMAIN TREES
Seven hazardous trees will be
removed from Rawhiti Domain
due to concerns over public
safety. The work was scheduled
to start last week. The pine trees,
particularly their root systems,
have been identified as being in
poor condition. They are
located close to public paths
linking Keyes Rd and Shaw
Ave. The city council intends to
plant replacement trees in the
winter.
QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED
The Queenspark School
community is attempting to
get the speed limit changed on
Queenspark Drive to improve

limit will change from 50km/h to

Fitness fanatic councillors back on their bikes
CITY COUNCILLORS Mike
Davidson and Glenn Livingstone are
gearing up for a cycling duel in Le
Race on March 24, as part their 2018
sporting three-peat.
The two councillors have been cycling
partners for some time and last
year competed in Le Petit, the 50km
shorter version of Le Race.
This year they are hoping to lead
by example to promote healthy living
among Christchurch residents, by
completing the Coast-to-Coast, Le
Race and the Christchurch Marathon.
“I have done Le Race before, but
because of all this training, I am fitter
than any previous year,” said Cr
Davidson.
“This year I hope to finish Le
Race under four hours, but most
importantly I want to smash Glenn,”
he said.
Cr Livingstone isn’t too concerned.
“I just hope that I don’t embarrass
Mike,” he said.
Three weeks ago, both men
completed the two-day individual
event of the Coast-to-Coast.
FRIENDLY RIVALRY: City

Glenn Livingstone are competing

Celebration of surfing
THE THIRD annual
week-long celebration of surfing
in New Brighton and the visit of
legendary Hawaiian surfer Duke
Kahanamoku opens on Sunday.
The Ray White New Brighton
Duke Festival of Surfing is
organised by the New Brighton
Pier and Foreshore Promotion
Society and is the largest and
most varied surfing event in New
Zealand.
It celebrates Kahanamoku,
who is said to have introduced
surfing to New Zealand and
surfed in New Brighton in
1915.
What’s happening:
Sunday – The Boardroom
exhibition
The festival will launch with
The Boardroom exhibition in
New Brighton Mall, a display of
more than 100 surfboards.
The display is a time line
exhibition of loaned surfboards
over the past 70 years.
It will showcase varying
types, different designs and
materials used, as well as
historical displays of surfing
photographs with a focus on
New Brighton.
COMPETITION: North Wai Boardriders Club’s Estella Hungerford will be a top contender in the age group events.
Wednesday, March 14 – The
Stoke Art Exhibition 2018
This exhibition pulls together
creative people who find
common ground in surfing and
will explore what it is about
surfing that causes creative
drive, whether it is a physical,
emotional, visual, procedural or
metaphysical response, or
simply coincidence. It will be
shown in Fiksate Gallery and
will feature a range of emerging
and established artists from
both New Zealand and
overseas.
Friday, March 16 – outdoor
movie night
There will be two films shown
at the New Brighton amphitheatre.
The children’s movie is
Disney’s Moana and the second
is supported by the Aotearoa
Surf Film Festival with a feature
film Fish People and two short
surf films.
Friday, March 16, and
Saturday, March 17 – surfing
competition
The surfing competition begins
with the age group shortboard
events. Surfers from around
New Zealand and Australia
have confirmed entries. Age
groups include under-12 all the
way through to under-20 and
will feature a number of local
surfers such as Ava Henderson,
Estella Hungerford and Myka
Black. Ava and Estella recently
won their events at the Billabong
contest in Whangamata.
On Saturday, the longboard
events will begin with a range of
top competitors in all age groups
from the open premier sections
through to the over-40 women’s
and over-60 men’s.
There will also be open men’s
and women’s logger events,
which will provide some old
school surfing styles with more
traditional moves on heavier
single-fin longboards.
Saturday, March 17 – concert
There will be a smorgasbord
meal at the New Brighton Club
followed by a rock concert
featuring Soaked Oats, a South
Island band with a growing
reputation, and local band
Run77.

BATTLE: Connor before being diagnosed with his brain tumour.
(Right) – Connor in hospital while his sisters, Madden and
Murphy, keep him company.
•From page 1
Mr Duncan-Caley said the
family’s situation was like “an
atom bomb going off.”
The money raised from the art
auction will help fund the costs
required for their life going forward.
“If there ever was a whanau
in need of assistance, this is the
one,” said auction organiser
Maureen Taane.
The auction called Jedi’s New
Hope because of Connor’s Star
Wars obsession will be held on
March 23.
“It is very much a communityled
and community-driven event,
as most things on the east side
are,” she said.
Within five days of launching
the event, 15 pieces of art had
already been donated.
The auction will be held at the
Fiksate Gallery in New Brighton
Mall. Tickets are expected to sell
out. Said Mr Duncan-Caley:
“We’ve been extremely humbled
and gobsmacked by the
support from the community
. . . it has really lifted us.”
Freedom campers under fire again
•From page 1
South New Brighton resident
Andy Smith shared his concerns
about freedom campers with
Pegasus Post.
“They are pooing on our beach,
they are trashing the place with
rubbish,” he said.
Mr Smith, who took photos of a
tent set up near one vehicle, with
rubbish littered around it, said he
could smell faeces in the area.
A 2015 city council bylaw
requires campers to be selfcontained,
meaning it has toilet
facilities on-board which can be
deposited at a discharge point.
Freedom campers are banned
from New Brighton’s north and
south ramp car parks.

Coastal-Burwood Ward city

“The big issue for local residents
is not so much that they
are there, but the mess they
leave behind, piles (of) domestic
rubbish and toileting,” said Cr
Livingstone.
But freedom campers do have
some support on the People’s

The comments said freedom

Gym school
may get
$900k grant
• By Julia Evans
THE $9 million Christchurch
School of Gymnastics rebuild
could be boosted by $900,000.
At a meeting on Thursday,
city councillors will be asked to
approve the grant which would
contribute to the cost of the site
remediation before the school’s
rebuild at QE II Park.
A city council staff report said
the funds would be allocated from
the land sale proceeds it received
from the Ministry of Education
for a portion of QE II Park. The
cost of the rebuild is estimated to
be nearly $9 million. The school of
gymnastics has $5.3 million available
and has raised $487,000.
“It is likely that the funding
contribution from council will
act as an additional catalyst for
other funders to contribute to this
rebuild project,” the report said.
City councillors granted the
school a new lease in September
for 3151 sq m of land near the
new Eastern Recreation and Sport
Centre, which is expected to open
this year. It had been based at QE
II site for 21 years.
But the building was deemed
uneconomic to repair after sustaining
damage in the February
22, 2011 earthquake.
Tracking cats to protect widlife
• By Bridget Rutherford
A CANTERBURY University
student wants to track where
house cats venture to in a bid to
better protect Travis Wetland
Nature Heritage Park – and she
needs your feline’s help.
Olivia Silvester, a masters
student who lives near the
wetland, is doing a six-month
study on the adventures of
cats living within a one block
radius of the important native
habitat.
The study would involve
attaching GPS trackers to cats
residing in the area with harnesses,
so where they venture to
could be tracked.
The Burwood freshwater wetland
has 55 species living there,
including 35 natives.
The native short-fined eel,
an indigenous skink and about
half of Christchurch’s pukeko
population live there, as well as
a diverse variety of insects, birds
and invertebrates.
It has a moat to stop cats and
other pests from entering, but
some still find their way in.
Miss Silvester said she needed
about 30 cats to take part in
the GPS research, and wanted
owners to get in touch if they
were interested in their cat being
involved.
The GPS trackers would need
to be worn 24/7, she said.
“If the cat is uncomfortable
the harness can be taken off and
the study stopped for that cat.”
The study would look at
where the cats go, how far they
travelled and what they brought
home with them, she said.
“The wetlands have a large
biodiversity of wildlife from
insects to skinks and birds,” she
said.
“Alongside the harness study,
there will be a prey retrieval
study looking at what your cat
brings home. It will inform us of
the main prey items of local cats
and we can adjust conservation
efforts accordingly.”
STUDY: A new
initiative will put GPS
trackers on cats
living near the Travis
Wetland Nature
Heritage Park in a
bid to better protect
wildlife there, such as
the spotless crake.
About 100 cats were
needed for the prey retrieval
study.
The owner would be required
to note down the items their cats
brought home, and store them in
provided zip-lock bags.
Miss Silvester said she would
visit once a month, or more, to
take the items away.
She said the study would also

Temporary premises
for Smooth-Air
Throughout 2018, it’s business as usual
for ventilation equipment specialists,
Smooth-Air, as they operate from
temporary premises at 351c Blenheim
Road while their Annex Rd premises are
being rebuilt.
Due to re-open in early 2019, the
new building will be better suited to the
company’s needs and more efficient than
the previous one, marketing spokesperson
Kate Rattray says.
“In the meantime, we will be continually
moving onwards and upwards with
an increased product range to service
our commercial, trade and domestic
customers.
“We are also pleased to have on board
our new national sales manager Phil
Henderson, and new regional manager
Richard Jack. Their focus will be on
continuing to provide customers with
excellent service and advice,” Kate says.
Experts in providing quality of air for
domestic and commercial purposes,
Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all
types of ventilation systems including
ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in
fact, anything that moves air into, out of,
or around a building.
While the majority of customers are
trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to
the public, with a range of extraction
and ventilation systems, as well as other
ventilation components for domestic use.
For the domestic market, the focus is on
cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air
has several ventilation systems designed
for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390
is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic
and commercial premises, exchanging
fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat
(or cooling) from the expelled air.
Their HTU heat transfer unit is another
popular option, transferring heat from
log burners to other areas of the home,
improving energy efficiency and reducing
power consumption.
Smooth-Air also caters for large
commercial projects, with the capacity to
produce substantial quantities of TD panel
duct, as well as provide other specified
equipment, including AirChange heat
exchangers such as those used for the Jellie
Park Pool.
Their skilled workshop team builds
ducting components, and these can be
supplied from stock, or made to customer
specifications. With the purchase of a
new building in Christchurch, which is
dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth-
Air have recently more than doubled
their manufacturing capacity. Along
with their Auckland
and Wellington
workshops, Smooth-
Air’s workshop floor
space now totals nearly
3000sqm, and of the 80
staff nationwide, 30 are
dedicated workshop
staff members.
Engineering manager
Mike Nash oversees all
three workshops.
“As suppliers to
customers in all areas of
New Zealand, we pride
ourselves in doing the
job right first time.” Mike says.
“With manufacturing capability in
Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington
we are able to share workload across
locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse,
providing a flexibility to our
customers and reliability of supply by
cross-utilisation of resources.
“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide
a one-stop solution to all our customers
in the HVAC industry. As well as our
manufacturing prowess, we also have the
ability to source items from a wide range of
suppliers both locally and internationally.”
A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s
head office is Christchurch, with branches
located in Auckland and Wellington.
Their temporary Christchurch premises
are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just
round the corner from their original
Annex Rd site.

lifestyle changes & nutritional support.

Centuries old folk
remedy supports
good health!
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of
powerful health benefits. It is none other than the
popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.
Since the time of Hippocrates – the
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been
renowned for its curative properties.
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis
reports how he found that Vermonters
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey
had excellent health with many putting in
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even
when well into their eighties. He also noted
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be
remarkable with many patients reporting
almost total relief after taking a course
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar
counteracted calcium deposits and helped
the body control calcium use. He also noted
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and
H around meal time had excellent blood
pressure and circulation. The reason he
found was that protein foods thickened
the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the
blood thickens it cannot pass as easily
and quickly through the blood vessels and
capillaries. This poor blood flow
would reduce cellular health by
limiting nutrients to the cells as
well as waste elimination from the
cells. To prevent cell damage the
body naturally increases blood
pressure but this puts more stress
on the blood vessels, organs and
heart. Having ACV and H with
meals will help prevent protein
raising the blood pressure. It also
contributes to a feeling of greater
well-being because the thinner
blood circulates quickly and
more easily through the blood
vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular
consumption of CV and H to be
an excellent health tonic with
numerous Health attributes.
ACV SUPPORTS
• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes
• Energy – Vitality – Endurance
• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites
• Powerful antioxidant
• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure
• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity
• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health
• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux
• Weight Loss
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all
the goodness of the apple in a form that is
readily accepted by the bodyGood health
starts with good digestion and assimilation
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will
stimulate and promote healthy digestion
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good
health. A well-functioning digestive system
helps prevent disease by neutralising any
toxic substances that enter the body.
It is important to note not all ACV is
produced in the traditional way and results
are likely to prove disappointing with these
other vinegars.
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in
the traditional way. It is double strength so
you can use less.

What’s happening
at Lady Wigram
Retirement Village?
It’s been a busy few years for The
Golden Healthcare Group with their latest
development of Lady Wigram Retirement
Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas
were occupied in August 2015 and now 101
villas are completed.
In December, the club house opened
which provides a bowling green, hair
dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard
room, movie theatre and library. The Club
House has all the trimmings, including 16
one and two bedrooms Apartments. The
next stage will also include a swimming
pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments.
When speaking with one of their
residents about how he feels about the new
Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is
so excited about it opening, we have all
been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is
fascinated as to how the fountain works.
He has lived in the village for the past
few years, enjoying his new life style and
making friends. He has also picked up new
hobbies including learning to play mahjong,
“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr
Havill owned his own home for 44 years
and in that time he maintained the house,
painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t
have to do that anymore, this is my place for
the moment. Every villa is different, even
though they look the same. But you make it
your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this
age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in
but no one else can and that is an additional
sense of security for us”.
Owner John Tooby says “our residents
are very involved in the continuing
development of the village, they share our
pride in making this a great place to live. It’s
a real community and it continues to grow”.
How’s your LIVER doing?
Your liver affects how you feel, your
mood, hormones, energy and overall
health. In fact it carries out over 500 crucial
functions that are vital to maintain good
health. If your liver is under-performing as
is the case for most of us, it means that the
body has more toxins that could be setting
the stage for disease. Disease can normally
only survive if the environment is suitable.
A well performing body will generally have
a much better chance of staying healthy.
Some symptoms of an underperforming
liver can be: Fatigue, weakness, trouble
concentrating, confusion, dark urine, dark
circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration
of the whites of the eyes, bloating and gas,
dry and dark patches on the neck and
under arms, bruising easily, constipation,
skin spots and rashes, eczema, psoriasis,
hormonal problems, moody and many
more.
The liver is the only organ in the body that
can regenerate itself if the right conditions
are met. In most cases the liver function can
be improved relatively easily with diet and
lifestyle changes and nutritional support.
Natural herbal extracts like milk thistle,
dandelion, globe artichoke, burdock, grape
seed and turmeric have been shown to be
very effective at supporting detoxification,
digestion and liver function. These herbs
are food for the liver and body. They
provide the building blocks to allow the
liver to regenerate healthy cells. All these
ingredients are available in a high potency
one-a-day vegie capsule.
Fresh vegetable juices are an excellent way
to provide the body with easily absorbed
nutrients. They also help the liver detox the
body and support its regeneration.
Certain strains of probiotics have been
shown to support healthy digestion, liver
function and much more. A one-a-day
comprehensive high potency probiotic
is highly recommended to support good
health.
Apple cider vinegar as well as being highly
nutritious contains beneficial enzymes that
support healthy digestion, liver function
and absorption of nutrients.
As your liver function improves you will
notice increased energy, clearer skin, less
hormonal problems, better digestion, and
a positive mood and sharper mind just to
name a few.
Further detailed information on
how to support your liver and general
health is available from the Natural
Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health &
Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New
Brighton, phone 388-5757. We are always
happy to help!

Highly effective
treatment brings
Special offer - one treatment for
arthritis at half price for the first 10 people
who make an appointment before april 6.
‘amazing’ results
for arthritis patient
Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort
and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life.
However, thanks to a highly effective treatment
offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao,
they can get fast, and very often immediate relief.
Lan developed the treatment, known as
‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes
as being similar to reflexology in that the problem
area on the body is determined through pressure,
but is much more accurate.
One client who was thrilled with the results of
this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was
having problems with her right hand after she overused
it following an injury to her left hand and it
became arthritic.
“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and
it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it.
This also made it very difficult to do everyday things
like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,”
Corinna said.
After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend,
Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled
with the results.
“The difference after one treatment was amazing.
My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.”
A further six treatments followed, and Corinna
said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was
improving every day and things were back to
normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was
due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t
think she would need any further treatment.
“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing –

NEW RELEASES
The Wife’s Tale
A Personal History by Aida edermariam
The extraordinary story of an indomitable 95-year-old woman – and of the
most extraordinary century in Ethiopia’s history. A new Wild Swans
A hundred years ago, a girl was born in the northern Ethiopian city of Gondar.
Before she was ten years old, Yetemegnu was married to a man two decades
her senior, an ambitious poet-priest. Over the next century her world changed
beyond recognition. She witnessed Fascist invasion and occupation, Allied
bombardment and exile from her city, the ascent and fall of Emperor Haile
Selassie, revolution and civil war. She endured all these things alongside
parenthood, widowhood and the death of children.
The Wife’s Tale is an intimate memoir, both of a life and of a country. In prose
steeped in Yetemegnu’s distinctive voice and point of view, Aida Edemariam
retells her grandmother’s stories of a childhood surrounded by proud priests
and soldiers, of her husband’s imprisonment, of her fight for justice – all of it
played out against an ancient cycle of festivals and the rhythms of the seasons.
Kill the Angel
by Sandrone dazieri
A high-speed train from Milan draws into the station in Rome, and an
horrific discovery in one carriage rocks the city. Preliminary investigations
are put in the hands of Deputy Police Commissioner Colomba Caselli.
The police receive a message claiming responsibility for the act and
announcing more murders to come, and they duly turn their attention
to a small terrorist group of Islamic extremists. But investigator Dante
Torre does not believe this angle. For him, this feels like a smokescreen
concealing the actions of a killer who has a far more terrible motivation
to continue.
The trail leads to Berlin and Venice, where the waters of the Venetian
Lagoon will turn blood red...
Miss Burma
by Charmaine Craig
A beautiful and poignant story of one family during the most violent and
turbulent years of world history, Miss Burma is a powerful novel of love and
war, colonialism and ethnicity, and the ties of blood. Miss Burma tells the
story of modern-day Burma through the eyes of Benny and Khin, husband
and wife, and their daughter Louisa. After attending school in Calcutta, Benny
settles in Rangoon, then part of the British Empire, and falls in love with Khin,
a woman who is part of a long-persecuted ethnic minority group, the Karen.
Benny and Khin’s eldest child, Louisa, has a danger-filled, tempestuous
childhood and reaches prominence as Burma’s first beauty queen soon
before the country falls to dictatorship. As Louisa navigates her newfound
fame, she is forced to reckon with her family’s past, the West’s ongoing covert
dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the cause of the Karen people.
Based on the story of the author’s mother and grandparents, Miss Burma is
a captivating portrait of how modern Burma came to be and of the ordinary
people swept up in the struggle for self-determination and freedom.
Chopper - From the Inside
by Mark Brandon read
“Apart from Irish whiskey, good cigars, Pontiac motor cars, and a pistol grip
baby .410 shotgun with solid load shells, what I love the most is kidnapping
smartarse gangsters and taking their money. To the human filth I have
bashed, belted, iron barred, axed, shot, stabbed, knee capped, set on fire and
driven to their graves, I can only quote from the motto of the French Foreign
Legion, ‘Je Ne Regrette Rien’...I regret nothing.” Mark Brandon ‘Chopper’
Read is the son of a strict Seventh Day Adventist mother and a shell-shocked
soldier who slept with a loaded gun at his side. Bullied at school, he grew
up dreaming of revenge, determined to be the toughest and hardest of
them all. He became a criminal legend who terrorised drug dealers, pimps,
thieves and armed robbers on the streets and in jail - but boasts he never
hurt an innocent member of the public. This first volume of Chopper’s
memoirs, written from inside jail, tells the story of his early life of crime - from
streetfighter to standover man, gunman to long-term prisoner. Chopper: From
the Inside is laced with his trademark brutal humour, and gives us a gripping
insight into Australia’s underworld.
