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 />

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 />

campaign.<br />

pursue a specific project in the<br />
east would have to be agreed<br />
upon by council.<br />

Board chairman Mike Mora<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 />

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 />

is trusted by a variety of clients, from<br />
local builders and homeowners, to large<br />
corporations like Fonterra and City Care.<br />
“While it’s always an exciting challenge<br />
to work with those bigger companies we<br />

says Chris.<br />
When asked what message they wanted<br />
to send out to Christchurch, Carol had just<br />
one request: “Keep us top of mind. We’re<br />
heading into tough times but we’re always<br />
here to help – no job is too big or small.<br />
We are doing everything we can to protect<br />
our team and we have real faith in the<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 />
Sea Cadet Association<br />
of New Zealand<br />
This public notice is in accordance with s138 of the Local<br />
Government Act <strong>20</strong>02 that the Council is proposing to grant<br />

buildings located on Steadfast Reserve at 86 Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Road.<br />
Naval Cadets have been occupying the buildings since the early<br />
1960s. The reason for the proposed lease is to provide security<br />
of tenure which then enables SCANZ to apply for funds for the<br />
purpose of undertaking building maintenance.<br />
