PAGE 6 Wednesday September 25 2019 BAY HARBOUR Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEW RELEASES GREAT Spring READS INSTORE! GREAT READS INSTORE NOW Our Dogs, Ourselves The Story of a Singular Bond by Alexandra Horowitz We keep dogs and are kept by them. We love dogs and (we assume) we are loved by them. We buy them sweaters, toys, shoes; we are concerned with their social lives, their food, and their health. The story of humans and dogs is thousands of years old but is far from understood. In Our Dogs, Ourselves, Alexandra Horowitz explores all aspects of this unique and complex interspecies pairing. As Horowitz considers the current culture of dogdom, she reveals the odd, surprising, and contradictory ways we live with dogs. We celebrate their individuality but breed them for sameness. Despite our deep emotional relationships with dogs, legally they are property to be bought, sold, abandoned, or euthanized as we wish. Even the way we speak to our dogs is at once perplexing and delightful. In thirteen thoughtful and charming chapters, Our Dogs, Ourselves affirms our profound affection for this most charismatic of animals and opens our eyes to the companions at our sides as never before. Native Son The Writer’s Memoir by Witi Ihimaera The revealing sequel to the award-winning memoir Maori Boy. This is the second volume of memoir by this remarkable Maori writer and of the living myths that inspired him at the beginning of his career. Look at him, the young man on the cover. The year is 1972, he is 28, his first book is about to be published, and he has every reason to kick up his heels. But behind that joyful smile, and the image of a writer footing it in the Pakeha world, there is another narrative, one that Witi has not told before. The story of a native son, struggling to find a place, a voice and an identity, and to put a secret past to rest. This sequel to his award-winning memoir picks up where Maori Boy stopped, following Witi through his triumphs and failures at school and university, to experimenting sexually, searching for love and purpose and to becoming our first Maori novelist. Ian McKellen: The Biography by Garry O’Connor The intimate and definitive biography of Ian McKellen, theatrical knight and a national treasure. Few actors achieve in their lifetime what Sir Ian McKellen has. A repertoire of vast commercial success coupled with critically acclaimed and authoritative Shakespearian roles. A man whose gargantuan personality and varied achievements inspire both admiration and affection. McKellen has been feted and admired in every country across the globe, and has been knighted by, and received the Companionship of Honour from Queen Elizabeth II. He is an icon of, and ardent campaigner in, the cause for LGBT rights. Many of us know of McKellen through his depiction of Gandalf in LORD OF THE RINGS. Garry O’Connor’s definitive biography reveals the man behind McKellen the actor. The inside story of the person himself: a constantly developing drama and a work in progress. Yet Garry O’Connor pulls no punches: some of his revelations may be controversial to his fans, even explosive, given McKellen’s constant ability to shock and surprise. “It’s all about celebrating really good, tasty food that just happens to be meat-free.” ~ Jamie Oliver Veg easy & delicious Meals for everyone by Jamie Oliver Jamie is back with brilliantly easy, flavour-packed, and accessible veg recipes.

Wednesday September 25 2019 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 7 News Community service honoured • By Jess Gibson INVOLVEMENT: Akaroa/Wairewa community governance manager Penelope Goldstone (left) presents Pam Richardson with a plaque recognising services to the Banks Peninsula Community Board. PLAQUES HAVE been presented to outgoing Banks Peninsula Community Board members in honour of their service to the community. Chairwoman Pam Richardson and members Felix Dawson, Janis Haley, John McLister and Jed O’Donoghue all gave valedictory speeches before bowing out of their final community board meeting last Monday. Each of them noted the respectful and cooperative way in which members had worked over the past three years. Ms Richardson has been involved with the community board for 12 years. “I will miss the networks that I’ve had. We were a good working board and we had fun along the way,” she said. Ms Richardson has experienced many changes over her years on the community board, which started just after the Banks Peninsula District Council amalgamated with the city council in 2006. Low level of remuneration and time commitments of the role are among the reasons which have contributed to some members’ decision to not stand for re-election. As it stands, community boards with bigger populations get higher remuneration, as the current remuneration model is set by population. By this model, Banks Peninsula Community Board members would receive $9864 and the chairperson $19,729 after the elections. However, the remuneration of the community boards will be decided when the new city council decides on the allocation of a $1,843,200 governance pool.
