The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday March 7 2019 21 Nga Puna Wai springs into action for athletics champs NGA PUNA Wai is a name that reflects the many spring waters that are to be found in the Halswell area where our new sports hub is located. And from tomorrow to Sunday, our Nga Puna Wai will spring into action with the New Zealand Track and Field Championships. The last time these championships were held in Christchurch was almost exactly nine years ago. The 32ha recreation and esplanade reserve is now home to a wide range of sports, which have come together in the spirit of co-operation and mutual support. Their former homes were lost in the earthquakes – QE II Stadium (athletics) and Porritt Park (hockey), which were both built for the 1976 Commonwealth Games, and Rugby League Park, which provided their special place for the greater good of the city, creating the temporary stadium, and Wilding Park (tennis). Nga Puna Wai now offers a part replacement of their facilities. At 3.30pm tomorrow, I will have the privilege of joining a range of sports legends in thanking the amazing partnerships formed by the individual codes and the sponsors that have helped to deliver this project, which has faced challenges along the way. They include Rata, Lotteries, SportNZ, CEAT, Sky, NZCT, Southern Trust, Waiwetu Trust, and many other funders, along with the project volunteers and staff, construction District SELWYN Mayor Lianne Dalziel Are you a new business or organisation in Selwyn?

More and more, the services we all rely on at home or at work are moving to the online world. Our banks, shops and utility companies are all beefing up their online services - who would have thought you could get a home loan without needing to meet the bank manager? I get to have conversations with people about this very topic all the time, especially when they find out what I do in my job at CERT NZ. But there are also a lot of conversations not being had - maybe because people are unsure about how to manage things online or, understandably, are embarrassed or shy to ask for help. I also hear about the unfortunate impacts that people experience as a result of financial loss through poor cyber security. Believe me, it happens more often than you probably realise. More and more, we need to be very careful about protecting our online financial accounts so they can’t be attacked. This sounds scary. Losing money is scary - but protecting your online accounts isn’t. The single most effective form of protection is the password. If there is one thing you do today, please look at one (or more) of your online financial accounts, and make one simple change: change at least one password so it is strong and unique to that account. Every account is a little different but changing your password to a strong one will only take a moment or two. Log in to your online account Click on settings (this often looks like a cog or a wheel). Find the password section and update your password. You’ll probably be asked to enter your new password twice. Make your new password long so it is strong A string of four or more words is as strong as using a mix of numbers, letters and characters. Try not to include personal information such as your birth date, pet’s name, address or names of your loved ones. This is exactly the type of information that people might be able to find out about you, or even guess. Strong and unique passwords are your best defence in this digital world - please make it a priority to create strong passwords for each of your accounts. By protecting your finances you can protect your way of life. Losing money is scary - but protecting your online accounts isn’t. PS: If you’re like me, you’ll need help to remember your passwords. It’s OK to write them down but make sure you store them somewhere safe, away from your computer and phone. Or consider using a password manager. Rob Pope is the Director of CERT NZ. CERT NZ helps New Zealanders to protect themselves by improving cyber security. www.certnz.govt.nz has helpful information about strengthening passwords. Advertisement
