Davids calls for well-being<br />

focus in lockdown recovery<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

NEW community board<br />

chairwoman Alexandra Davids<br />

believes it is time to look at<br />

doing things differently as the<br />

country begins to adjust to a<br />

new normal.<br />

As community boards are<br />

reinstated this week after ceasing<br />

over the lockdown period and<br />

alert level 3, Miss Davids who<br />

is now heading the Linwood-<br />

Central-Heathcote Community<br />

Board believes a real focus on<br />

community well-being is needed<br />

as the city looks to recover from<br />

the Covid-19 crisis.<br />

“I feel like we have got to a<br />

point now where we have all<br />

been in lockdown and we have<br />

all started to work out what is<br />

important to us and I think<br />

community well-being<br />

is something that will be at<br />

the forefront of our decisionmaking.<br />

“Hopefully, there will be a lot<br />

more decision-making based<br />

around that. We have to look<br />

at how we do things differently<br />

now,” she said.<br />

Miss Davids assumed her new<br />

role of chairwoman last month<br />

after Sally Buck stepped down<br />

from the position for health<br />

reasons.<br />

Rebranding<br />

Redcliffs<br />

supermarket<br />

will reduce<br />

jobs by 19<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

NINETEEN positions will be<br />

affected by the rebranding of<br />

Redcliffs New World into a Four<br />

Square.<br />

The store on Main Rd currently<br />

employs 29 full-time and 19 parttime<br />

staff, but that number will<br />

decrease to 17 full-time and 12<br />

part-time staff after it transitions<br />

on June 15.<br />

Before the Covid-19 lockdown,<br />

trends showed customers’<br />

shopping habits had changed and<br />

it became unsustainable for the<br />

Main Rd store to remain as a New<br />

World.<br />

Residents had been using<br />

the store to top-up the grocery<br />

shopping they do at other<br />

supermarkets.<br />

All roles at the Four<br />

Square store will be filled by<br />

team members currently<br />

employed at New World but all<br />

of them, including managers,<br />

will have to apply for the<br />

vacancies.<br />

Both New World and<br />

Four Square are owned by<br />

the eastern suburbs start to<br />

see Lianne Dalziel’s campaign<br />

aspirations for the area come to<br />

fruition.<br />

During October’s local body<br />

repairs to the eastern part of the<br />

city’s footpaths, pipes and roads<br />

as one of her main priorities for<br />

this term.<br />

“We need a fully integrated<br />

programme of works for the<br />

east, I have loosely called this<br />

pursue a specific project in the<br />

east would have to be agreed<br />

KEEPING A low grocery<br />

shopping profile may well<br />

have caused the demise of<br />

Redcliffs New World.<br />

Locals have not been patronising<br />

as much as<br />

had been hoped so next<br />

month it will become a<br />

Four Square. Locals have<br />

just been topping up after<br />

doing the weekly shop elsewhere.<br />

We reveal on page 1 today<br />

19 positions will go. It is<br />

hoped those people can be<br />

redeployed elsewhere in the<br />

Foodstuffs empire, which<br />

owns both the New World<br />

and Four Square brands.<br />

It is not surprising locals<br />

haven’t been supporting the<br />

supermarket as much as had<br />

been anticipated.<br />

Many people don’t like<br />

filling up their trolleys<br />

alongside neighbours and<br />

others who know them.<br />

But let’s hope Four Square<br />

works better.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> fishing rules changed<br />

NEW BYLAWS will limit<br />

fishing within the Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>/Whakaraupō Mātaitai<br />

reserve.<br />

The bylaws,<br />

approved by<br />

Minister of<br />

Fisheries Stuart<br />

Nash, are the<br />

result of a<br />

Stuart Nash<br />

proposal put<br />

together by Te<br />

Hapū o Ngāti<br />

Wheke.<br />

It was done with support from<br />

local recreational fishers, science<br />

advisers and Te Rūnanga o Ngāi<br />

Tahu.<br />

Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke<br />

chairman Manaia Rehu says the<br />

decision is crucial to safeguard<br />

the local fisheries.<br />

“These new rules will help<br />

to rejuvenate mahinga kai and<br />

ensure our mātaitai is protected<br />

and enhanced not just for us<br />

now, but for future generations<br />

PROACTIVE: Bylaws approved by Minister of Fisheries Stuart<br />

Nash will help rejuvenate the health of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

of Ngāi Tahu whānui and the<br />

wider Lyttelton community.”<br />

The bylaws are reinforced by<br />

surveys conducted by Te Tiaki<br />

Mahinga Kai, an Otago University<br />

research and monitoring<br />

support team for customary<br />

protection area managers.<br />

The surveys found only<br />

about 10 per cent of pāua in<br />

the reserve were at or above the<br />

minimum legal size for recreational<br />

fishing. It also found<br />

other mahinga kai species were<br />

present in low densities, and<br />

habitat-forming kelps in the upper<br />

harbour have been severely<br />

depleted. Gathering site lead<br />

guardian Henry Couch said the<br />

proposal is a proactive step.<br />

“This is about preventing any<br />

further reduction in important<br />

mahinga kai stocks and the<br />

habitats they need to thrive.<br />

Ultimately, we want to rebuild<br />

these populations to the point<br />

where they are once again<br />

abundant.<br />

“Current recreational bag<br />

limits are too high and are<br />

inconsistent with the underlying<br />

philosophy of a mahinga<br />

mātaitai, which is focused on<br />

‘catching a feed’. These catch<br />

limits mean the mātaitai will be<br />

fished more sustainably.”<br />

The new bag limits apply to<br />

shellfish stocks in the reserve,<br />

including pāua, pipi, mussels,<br />

crabs, oysters, and cockles, as<br />

well as several finfish species,<br />

including flounder, blue cod,<br />

red cod, butterfish, moki and<br />

conger eel.<br />

In addition to the new bag<br />

limits, the taking of some species<br />

including seaweed, skates,<br />

and rays, from within the reserve<br />

is prohibited as well as the<br />

harvesting of cockles at Rec <strong>Bay</strong><br />

at Purau and at Walkers Beach<br />

at Ōtamahua/Quail Island.<br />

Mr Rehu believes the bylaws<br />

will be an important measure<br />

in rejuvenating the health of<br />

Whakaraupō/Lyttelton.<br />

“We want to see our species<br />

replenished so that we and<br />

future generations can have the<br />

same health in our mahinga<br />

kai and our reserves that were<br />

enjoyed by our tūpuna.”<br />

Community consultation<br />

is also set to begin on revised<br />

bylaws for the Rāpaki Mātaitai.<br />

In Brief<br />

CASS BAY STREAM WORK<br />

Work is being carried out on the<br />

stream channel at Cass <strong>Bay</strong> beach to<br />

make it safer for the public to use.<br />

City council contractors will remove<br />

sharp edges, deteriorated concrete<br />

shotcrete and associated rockwork<br />

from today until June <strong>20</strong>. The work<br />

will also improve the durability<br />

of the channel through new rock<br />

replacement, improve fish passage,<br />

naturalise the stream, enhance<br />

ecology and improve planting.<br />

Meanwhile, a 600m section of<br />

water main on Port Hills Rd will<br />

be replaced in the section between<br />

Mauger Drive and Martindales Rd.<br />

It is to upgrade the city council’s<br />

existing water main network. Fulton<br />

Hogan will be carrying out the work<br />

until August 28. It will involve open<br />

trenching along the carriageway<br />

and footpaths. Visit https://ccc.govt.<br />

Bursting Bubbles<br />

It’s been a few days in Level 2 and what a relief to see some<br />

sense of normality returning to our lives. Last Thursday<br />

we saw doors opening, shutters going up, the sun shining<br />

and people emerging from their bubbles with a feeling of<br />

nervous anticipation (or was it joy and elation?!) Hopefully<br />

in a few weeks we can look back, pinch ourselves and say<br />

“what just happened?” In fact, if someone said to you on<br />

January 1st this year the country was going to be shut<br />

down for 7 weeks from March 25 you’d think they were<br />

bonkers!<br />

Over the lockdown our team was incredibly busy. Not<br />

only was the Ray White leadership group providing hours<br />

and hours of online training and information but we were<br />

also fielding dozens of enquiries from buyers asking<br />

about properties and how they could get through them.<br />

There were sales made between $340,000 and just under<br />

$1,000,000 and it was easy to see the pent up demand for<br />

properties was going to result in a few bubbles bursting.<br />

There is no doubt there<br />

is a deep pool of qualified<br />

buyers out there who are<br />

ready, willing and able to<br />

buy your property now.<br />

Sadly for some people<br />

in our community there<br />

have been job losses and<br />

redundancies. It’s a tough<br />

situation as businesses<br />

struggle to get through<br />

a situation that has been<br />

completely unanticipated.<br />

If your future is feeling uncertain, come and see us about<br />

a career in real estate. It may not have been something<br />

you had ever considered but there is merit in being in an<br />

industry where you can control your destiny.<br />

Your skydiving<br />

questions answered<br />

Skydiving Kiwis<br />

answers some of the<br />

questions being asked<br />

over plans to bring<br />

a landing zone to<br />

Sumner Beach<br />

AS YOU may have seen in<br />

the media or social media,<br />

two Christchurch-based<br />

adventure companies<br />

have teamed up to create a<br />

unique helicopter skydiving<br />

adventure, envisaging<br />

to land along Sumner<br />

Beach.<br />

Skydiving Kiwis and<br />

Garden City Helicopters<br />

have been working on<br />

this project for the last<br />

two years and we planned<br />

to meet and greet with<br />

Sumner community<br />

board, residents and local<br />

businesses to introduce<br />

ourselves, to explain our<br />

plans and answer your<br />

questions as we progressed<br />

the project.<br />

Unfortunately, project<br />

details leaked to the media<br />

forced us to open up about<br />

our plans before we had<br />

time to reach out to the<br />

Sumner community.<br />

The directors of Skydiving<br />

Kiwis, Lee Barraclough<br />

and Sophie-Claire Violette,<br />

are themselves Sumner<br />

residents, and even though<br />

our consent from ECan<br />

did not require any formal<br />

consultation, your views<br />

are important to us.<br />

We believe that bringing<br />

this adventure back<br />

to Otautahi will not only<br />

kick-start a new vibe in our<br />

community and boost our<br />

local economy.<br />

Our partnership with<br />

Garden City Helicopters<br />

means that we are able to<br />

Email your views to jess.<br />

gibson@starmedia.kiwi<br />

launch the first tandem<br />

skydive experience in New<br />

Zealand from a helicopter<br />

with a landing on a beach.<br />

We realise the community<br />

has a lot of questions<br />

and some were raised on<br />

social media, so we will try<br />

to answer them here:<br />

• Skydivers will take off<br />

from Garden City Helicopters<br />

at Christchurch<br />

Airport, fly across the city<br />

to Sumner, before dropping<br />

over the beach.<br />

• Parachutes will land<br />

in a <strong>20</strong>m x <strong>20</strong>m square set<br />

up by the Skydiving Kiwis<br />

ground crew on Sumner<br />

Beach.<br />

• This exclusion zone<br />

will only be on the beach<br />

for approximately <strong>20</strong>min<br />

per flight to guarantee the<br />

safety of beachgoers and<br />

skydivers.<br />

• The landing area will<br />

be packed away after parachutists<br />

have landed.<br />

• The numbers of staff<br />

and jumpers will be small<br />

in numbers so will have<br />

minimal impact on parking<br />

or traffic.<br />

• Base jumpers have used<br />

Sumner Beach for many<br />

years, without causing any<br />

major concerns without<br />

using any of our safety precautions,<br />

but our company<br />

is recognised for its awardwinning<br />

health and safety<br />

procedures so we plan to<br />

cover off any potential risk<br />

factor.<br />

• Once the last pieces of<br />

the puzzle have fallen into<br />

place, the Skydiving Kiwis<br />

and Garden City Helicopters<br />

teams will start training<br />

and we will eventually<br />

do some jumps onto the<br />

beach. During this time,<br />

we want to check in and<br />

work with the Sumner<br />

community regularly.<br />

• Our team will be<br />

available throughout if you<br />

have any questions, would<br />

like to meet us, or would<br />

like to collaborate with us.<br />

We will also invite you all<br />

along to meet our team<br />

when we do our practice<br />

jumps.<br />

· Our team will be<br />

available throughout if<br />

you have any questions<br />

(email marketing@<br />

skydivingkiwis.com),<br />

would like to meet us, or<br />

would like to collaborate<br />

Council approves District Plan change<br />

THE CITY council has<br />

agreed to change the<br />

District Plan to reflect<br />

updated information about<br />

the slope instability risk on<br />

the Port Hills.<br />

After the earthquakes,<br />

properties identified as<br />

affected by or at risk from<br />

rockfall, cliff collapse or<br />

mass movement were included<br />

within slope instability<br />

hazard areas – called<br />

slope instability overlays<br />

– in the District Plan.<br />

In the slope instability<br />

overlays, most development<br />

requires resource consent.<br />

However, hazard removal<br />

works done over the past<br />

few years, coupled with<br />

new technical information,<br />

means some properties are<br />

now considered at less risk.<br />

Last year, the city<br />

council sought to amend<br />

the overlays using a plan<br />

change process under the<br />

Resource Management Act.<br />

That process culminated on<br />

Thursday when the council<br />

agreed to the changes.<br />

Updating the overlays<br />

will affect 84 properties,<br />

83 of which have less<br />

restrictive rules, offering<br />

property owners certainty<br />

and reduced costs when<br />

developing their properties.<br />

The council has<br />

contacted affected property<br />

owners throughout the<br />

formal plan change<br />

process.<br />

There is now an appeal<br />

period, before a council<br />

decision to make the plan<br />

change operative.<br />

Giving the voiceless a voice<br />

• From page 1<br />

Miss Davids said she wanted to<br />

instil an emphasis on engagement<br />

with communities across the<br />

board’s jurisdiction, with a focus<br />

on giving the voiceless a voice at a<br />

council level.<br />

Her passion for helping others<br />

was planted from an early age<br />

when her mother would put her<br />

to work at the Methodist Mission<br />

Food Bank as opposed to putting<br />

her into holiday programmes.<br />

“I think it was really to avoid<br />

paying for the holiday programmes<br />

because they are really<br />

expensive and she was on her<br />

own with three children, but it<br />

was actually a really great time<br />

and learning experience.”<br />

She has worked in a wide range<br />

of jobs which she believes has<br />

given her a well-rounded perspective<br />

of her ward.<br />

She worked in retail at Ballantynes,<br />

in a hotel, an office for<br />

a car transmission garage, where<br />

she even got to rebuild a couple<br />

of transmissions, and at a funeral<br />

home.<br />

This is now Miss Davids’<br />

third term on the community<br />

board after first being elected<br />

in <strong>20</strong>13, she began this term as<br />

deputy chairwoman.<br />

She described her introduction<br />

to local body politics as a “baptism<br />

of fire.”<br />

In <strong>20</strong>13, when she ran for the<br />

then Hagley-Ferrymead Ward<br />

for both council and community<br />

board as a 27-year-old, her billboards<br />

were continuously being<br />

stolen and photos of herself viewable<br />

on her Facebook page, which<br />

media referred to as “glamour<br />

shots,” attracted a lot of publicity.<br />

However, Miss Davids did not<br />

think it was fair to call the photos<br />

“glamour shots.”<br />

“When I saw the articles calling<br />

them glamour shots, I thought<br />

but I’m not a glamour model at<br />

all, far from it, I pity the people<br />

who had to look at my shots,” she<br />

joked.<br />

BUSY: Alongside<br />

her new role as<br />

chairwoman of<br />

the community<br />

board, Miss Davids<br />

also serves in a<br />

number of other<br />

roles including<br />

chairwoman<br />

of Keep New<br />

Zealand<br />

Beautiful and<br />

chairwoman of<br />

Local Government<br />

New Zealand’s<br />

community<br />

board executive<br />

committee.<br />

As stressful as this experience<br />

was, Miss Davids felt it prepared<br />

her well for what lied ahead in<br />

her political career.<br />

Aside from her new role,<br />

she is also chairwoman for<br />

Local Government New<br />

Zealand’s community<br />

board executive committee,<br />

chairwoman of both Keep<br />

Christchurch Beautiful and<br />

Keep New Zealand Beautiful,<br />

chairwoman of the Whitau<br />

School board, a representative on<br />

LGNZ’s young elected members<br />

committee and a trustee of the<br />

Graeme Dingle Foundation.<br />

On top of this, she also<br />

manages to find time to fulfil her<br />

duties as a Resource Management<br />

Act commissioner and role at the<br />

Women’s Refuge.<br />

Feedback on change ‘generally supportive’<br />

• From page 1<br />

A proposal to transition the<br />

store to a Four Square was put to<br />

staff in early March. The spokesperson<br />

said feedback received<br />

signalled they were “generally<br />

supportive” of the change.<br />

Foodstuffs South Island Ltd<br />

general retail manager Tim Donaldson<br />

said the decision “hasn’t<br />

been made lightly.”<br />

“Foodstuffs remains committed<br />

to continuing to serve the<br />

Redcliffs community, but when<br />

a store in its current format<br />

proves unsustainable, we need<br />

to look for alternative options.<br />

Considering the impact on staff<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Will you<br />

be shopping at Redcliffs Four<br />

Square when it opens? Email<br />

your views to jess.gibson@<br />

starmedia.kiwi<br />

and the community are first and<br />

foremost,” Mr Donaldson said.<br />

“It’s a challenging time for the<br />

team, they do a great job and<br />

we’re doing all we can to support<br />

them.”<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-<br />

Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a<br />

non-profit organisation formed in <strong>20</strong>02 to<br />

protect one of New Zealand’s most important<br />

coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a<br />

new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to<br />

raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the<br />

area.<br />

Nervous grey teal<br />

feeds at night<br />

AT FIRST glance, they look like<br />

a mallard duck, but the grey teal/<br />

tētē is actually much smaller.<br />

It has bright crimson eyes and<br />

unlike the mallard, the male and<br />

females have the same colouring.<br />

The grey teal is yet another<br />

self-introduced bird species<br />

from Australia. In 1957, during<br />

a severe drought, the teal was<br />

looking for ‘wetter pastures’ and<br />

flew across the Tasman Sea to<br />

make New Zealand home.<br />

It has thrived here, particularly<br />

in Canterbury, which hosts the<br />

largest number of grey teal in the<br />

country at Lake Ellesmere. It prefers<br />

shallow water bodies which<br />

provide cover from overhanging<br />

vegetation and our oxidation<br />

ponds have proven to be an ideal<br />

environment for the grey teal. As<br />

many as <strong>20</strong>00 of this species have<br />

been counted in the ponds on a<br />

regular basis, appearing to share<br />

time between the ponds and<br />

Lake Ellesmere.<br />

When nesting, the females<br />

incubate the eggs but the males<br />

help guard the chicks which start<br />

finding their own food soon after<br />

hatching.<br />

Unlike most birds, they are<br />

nocturnal feeders preferring to<br />

look for insects and plant seeds<br />

throughout the night to shelter<br />

and hide during the day.<br />

This is probably the reason<br />

why you do not often see a grey<br />

teal. Luckily for these extremely<br />

shy and nervous birds, the oxidation<br />

ponds are also a “wildlife<br />

refuge” and as long people and<br />

their dogs stay well clear from<br />

the ponds they will continue to<br />

do well here.<br />

How can we help protect the<br />

grey teal and other birds making<br />

the oxidation ponds their home?<br />

Make sure that your load of<br />

rubbish is well covered when you<br />

drive to the Bromley Eco drop<br />

station off Dyers Rd.<br />

Litter scattered along the road<br />

can blow into the ponds where it<br />

can strangle and entangle birds.<br />

HABITAT: The grey teal prefers shallow water bodies which<br />

provide cover from overhanging vegetation.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Stop online shopping and<br />

MP Ruth<br />

Dyson writes<br />

about the<br />

importance<br />

of supporting<br />

each other<br />

during the<br />

current times<br />

THE LAST three months have<br />

been really challenging and<br />

unusual.<br />

It does have a bit of a <strong>20</strong>11 feel<br />

about it though, with people<br />

really looking after each other,<br />

particularly those on their own<br />

or those more vulnerable. You<br />

really find out the true worth<br />

of people during hard times.<br />

And it’s in times like these that<br />

I feel very proud to be a New<br />

Zealander.<br />

I know in our Redcliffs area<br />

that our streets and Barnett<br />

Park had a steady flow of walkers<br />

and cyclists and family<br />

bubbles enjoying the beautiful<br />

autumn weather.<br />

The innovation that is appearing<br />

and being shared during our<br />

lockdown time has been awesome.<br />

But for many, these are<br />

very sad times, particularly for<br />

those who have lost jobs or can’t<br />

POPULAR: Barnett Park has<br />

had a steady flow of walkers<br />

and cyclists.<br />

An independent school<br />

education is a precious<br />

gift and it doesn’t have<br />

to break the bank<br />

see much future in their current<br />

job. This is definitely going to<br />

be a marathon challenge, not a<br />

sprint.<br />

I remember in <strong>20</strong>11 and <strong>20</strong>12<br />

that the language of Cantabrians<br />

was like a unique one that<br />

only we could understand – talk<br />

of red or green zones, TC1 or<br />

TC2 or TC3, overcap payments,<br />

jack and pack, under runners,<br />

rubble foundations – these all<br />

became part of our everyday<br />

conversations with each other<br />

while the rest of the country<br />

would have been puzzled.<br />

A similar thing is happening<br />

now – with talk of social<br />

distancing, staying within your<br />

bubble, alert levels. It’s interesting<br />

to see how quickly the new<br />

language becomes part of everyday<br />

conversation.<br />

We have responded to this<br />

unseen virus enemy in such a<br />

strong and united way. Now<br />

it’s time to continue that support<br />

through our recovery and<br />

rebuilding phases.<br />

I really encourage you to<br />

break that habit of online shopping<br />

and shop locally instead.<br />

These are the businesses within<br />

your community which make<br />

it tick. They need your custom.<br />

And maybe for your family<br />

birthday presents over the next<br />

little while, buy a voucher for<br />

use at one of your local businesses.<br />

They will appreciate it.<br />

And it will help us all make<br />

it through the next stage of this<br />

challenge.<br />

Save rain water<br />

The Redcliffs<br />

Residents<br />

Association<br />

has launched<br />

an ‘ecovillage’<br />

initiative in<br />

response to<br />

our climate<br />

and ecological emergency.<br />

This month member Dave<br />

Bryce focuses on water<br />

FRESHWATER IS a vital but<br />

scarce resource for all plants and<br />

animals – it makes up only three<br />

per cent of the planet’s water, and<br />

only 0.6 per cent of that is useable<br />

as most of it is locked up in ice.<br />

On average, each person uses<br />

150 to 300-litres a day, whereas<br />

sustainable use would be more<br />

like 70-litres.<br />

Only 35 per cent of urban water<br />

supply needs to be pure or drinkable<br />

for kitchens and bathrooms,<br />

as the other 65 per cent is used in<br />

toilets, laundries and gardens.<br />

Christchurch’s water supplies<br />

come from underground aquifers<br />

fed from the mountains and<br />

plains. But Christchurch also has<br />

annual rainfall, on average about<br />

600mm, with a peak event likely<br />

to be 100mm – and most ends up<br />

in rivers and the sea.<br />

Consumption of water by<br />

people is very high and much of<br />

that water is wasted. Water is increasingly<br />

contaminated by rural<br />

and urban activities and is costly<br />

to purify. In a natural situation,<br />

water is mainly captured and<br />

used by the earth and animals;<br />

and then recycled and purified<br />

through evaporation into clouds.<br />

The water landing on your<br />

property as rain and snow is your<br />

resource – use it sustainably by<br />

capturing, storing, conserving<br />

and using it. This will give you<br />

security of supply and reduce the<br />

amount of water you need from<br />

the public supply.<br />

Make sure to wash your<br />

vehicles on a lawn rather than a<br />

driveway, this is already required<br />

by ECan to reduce contaminants<br />

in stormwater – it is critical for<br />

aquatic plants, invertebrates and<br />

fish in streams.<br />

Kids could make a drink<br />

station for birds and lizards, you<br />

can look up how to do this on<br />

YouTube.<br />

New tech career in less than a year<br />

Tech is big and getting bigger. The technology sector boomed<br />

in <strong>20</strong>19, cementing its position as one of our largest export<br />

earners according to the latest annual TIN (Technology<br />

Investment Network) Report. The number of people employed<br />

by the technology sector increased by 7.9 per cent last year<br />

to 51,569, and Canterbury’s tech revenue alone grew by 10.3<br />

per cent. It has never been a better time to add tech to your<br />

skill set and start your journey into NZ’s fastest growing sector.<br />

The future is tech. Be part of it.<br />

When it comes to the world of tech, the employment<br />

opportunities are virtually limitless. SIGNAL’s SHIFT<br />

programme was created to help you explore, experience<br />

and embrace those opportunities, adding to your<br />

qualifications and expanding your earning potential in this<br />

vibrant, fast-paced sector.<br />

SHIFT fast-tracks your tech learning with an industryfocused<br />

one-year programme, that not only boosts your<br />

skills, but gives you practical industry experience and an<br />

industry network to help you move into tech.<br />

Gulliver’s Wife<br />

by Lauren Chater<br />

Birth. Death. Wonder … One woman’s journey to the<br />

edge of love and loyalty from the bestselling author of<br />

The Lace Weaver.<br />

London, 1702. When her husband is lost at sea,<br />

Mary Burton Gulliver, midwife and herbalist, is forced<br />

to rebuild her life without him. But three years later<br />

when Lemuel Gulliver is brought home, fevered and<br />

communicating only in riddles, her ordered world is turned<br />

upside down. In a climate of desperate poverty and violence, Mary is caught<br />

in a crossfire of suspicion and fear driven by her husband’s outlandish claims,<br />

and it is up to her to navigate a passage to safety for herself and her daughter,<br />

and the vulnerable women in her care. When a fellow sailor, a dangerous<br />

man with nothing to lose, appears to hold sway over her husband, Mary’s<br />

world descends deeper into chaos, and she must set out on her own journey<br />

to discover the truth of Gulliver’s travels . . . and the landscape of her own<br />

heart.<br />

Wolf Hall, Book #3<br />

The Mirror And The Light<br />

by twice winner of the Man Booker Prize Hilary Mantel<br />

‘If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?’.<br />

England, <strong>May</strong> 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a<br />

heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into<br />

oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son<br />

from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to<br />

power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to shortlived<br />

happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.<br />

Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family<br />

to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting<br />

abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point,<br />

Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the<br />

future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead<br />

continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador<br />

asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on<br />

everyone close to him?<br />

With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the<br />

trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.<br />

VETTING IN COVID –<br />

like we have never known it before……<br />

McMASTER & HEAP<br />

VETERINARy PRACTICE<br />

Who would have ever imagined a microscopic virus,<br />

called “Coronavirus” would have the entire world<br />

in a spin and leave a long path of death and destruction.<br />

I never imagined after 30 years of being a vet that I<br />

wouldn’t be able to consult face to face and have clients<br />

visit their sick pets in our ICU. The past 6 weeks have<br />

provided new challenges for Steve and I running a large<br />

busy practice with 29 staff but it has also allowed us to<br />

see our people at their very best. Not surprising to us at all<br />

and has just reiterated to us how special and proud we are<br />

of our McMaster & Heap family.<br />

The days leading up to the lockdown were some of the<br />

craziest, busiest days ever recorded at McMaster & Heap.<br />

Clients were panic buying – no not just toilet paper, but<br />

rather pet food was walking off the shelf faster than we<br />

could restock. Medication prescriptions were refilled,<br />

clients were queuing up wanting to be seen and we<br />

were solidly blocked with referral Ophthalmology and<br />

Ultrasound cases as we didn’t know what level 4 would<br />

look like and how we could operate.<br />

Steve and I had some big decisions to make very quickly.<br />

We needed to split our vets and nurses into 2 teams so if<br />

one team went down with Covid-19, the other could take<br />

over their workload. We needed to get the balance right<br />

with experience, skill set and personality and fit in with<br />

our staffs life outside of work. So far so good but it would<br />

be fair to say we are missing our other half but not going<br />

to miss the 12-13 hour shifts.<br />

The surgical team of Steve, Michele,<br />

Catherine, Kirsty and Crumb.<br />

Our staff geared up in PPE<br />

Last day working together for Team A<br />

No routine work was seen but we have been extremely<br />

busy since lockdown with sick and injured pets and<br />

referral work. Due to the fact we are open 7 days and<br />

have referral services such as Ophthalmology, Surgery,<br />

Endoscopy, and Ultrasonography, we have been able to<br />

help out many other Practices with their difficult medical<br />

and surgical patients. It has been very rewarding working<br />

with colleagues in other locations helping with the care<br />

and treatment of their cases. Steve and I have performed<br />

emergency “eye” surgery late at night most weeks since<br />

lockdown. These cases have come in on the days our<br />

team isn’t working so Steve and I sneak in about 8pm<br />

once the other team have finished for the day. I have quite<br />

enjoyed being my husbands “nurse” and have a greater<br />

appreciation of what veterinary nurses have to juggle.<br />

One night late, our entire team of 4 vets all arrived in to<br />

operate on a working dog referred with a persistent high<br />

fever that wouldn’t resolve with antibiotic treatment.<br />

The referring vet did an awesome job at realising the<br />

dog wasn’t coming right so called me up to ask if<br />

we could scan the dog ASAP. Catherine diagnosed a<br />

retroperitoneal abscess via Ultrasound which couldn’t be<br />

seen from the outside. It was a surgery that couldn’t wait.<br />

Crumb required 2 surgeons, an ultrasonographer and<br />

an anaesthetist as it was not a straight forward surgery,<br />

taking over 2 hours. A lot of fun was had though and we<br />

achieved a successful outcome<br />

for the dog. At the end of the<br />

day that is all we really strive<br />

for – to restore and save life.<br />

We are supportive, respective<br />

and grateful for one another’s<br />

opinion on cases and we love<br />

group collaborations. We are<br />

extremely lucky that all our 9<br />

Lola took<br />

PPE seriously.<br />

Me and my 8 week old Macy.<br />

The McMaster & Heap Family are very pleased<br />

to welcome “Macy”, our brand new 10 week<br />

old black Labrador pup, a sister for our<br />

precious Lola. you will see a lot of her on FB<br />

and my articles, gallivanting around the vet<br />

clinic as though she owns it already.<br />

vets have separate special interest areas which means we<br />

rarely need to seek any outside referral help. There isn’t<br />

much we can’t do all in one building, something Steve and<br />

I have strived to achieve in the past <strong>20</strong> years. We have a<br />

truly fabulous, clever and dedicated team where nothing<br />

is ever a problem.<br />

So with the end in sight, I must say this has been a<br />

unique working experience in which as a team we have<br />

been pulled and stretched in many ways but have come<br />

through it smiling, feeling we have done well and damn<br />

tired. We are rapt to be ditching the full PPE kit our nurses<br />

have to gear up in every day. We have met a lot of new<br />

clients and there has been a boom of puppies and kittens,<br />

which I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and treating.<br />

Now we are in level 2 we are allowing one client per<br />

pet into the vet clinic, still obviously practising social<br />

distancing. Really looking forward to sharing stories and<br />

laughs again with our fabulous clients and doing the job<br />

we love to do.<br />

local builders and homeowners, to large<br />

corporations like Fonterra and City Care.<br />

“While it’s always an exciting challenge<br />

When asked what message they wanted<br />

one request: “Keep us top of mind. We’re<br />

heading into tough times but we’re always<br />

Chris’s pre-winter checklist<br />

1. Gas hobs, fires and water heaters - be<br />

safe - get them checked each year<br />

2. Drains – if you have an older home<br />

with ceramic pipes and you haven’t had a<br />

free drainage check yet, make sure you call<br />

and book this in. EQC are still covering<br />

the cost of earthquake-damaged drainage<br />

repairs and Laser Plumbing are experts at<br />

helping clients deal with the EQC process<br />

and making it all seem very easy.<br />

3. Gutters and downpipes- clear these<br />

out to prevent water leakage into your<br />

home.<br />

4. HWC’s - check this for leaks<br />

And if you are sick of running out of hot<br />

water, talk to us about a gas conversion –<br />

you will never look back.<br />

Granting of a lease to<br />

This public notice is in accordance with s138 of the Local<br />
