In the Jaws of the Dragon How China Is Taking Over NZ by ron asher China Inc., the business arm of China’s repressive dictatorship, is trying to take over the world by grabbing key sectors of various countries’ economies as part of its strategic plan for global control of the world’s resources. China’s rapid arms build-up suggests that it is preparing to back its ever increasing demands on other countries with force.China chose New Zealand as the first Western country with which to have a free trade agreement, which is more about colonising and dominating our economy than about free trade. This book should be read by every New Zealander since it affects the future prospects of the country in respect of economic welfare, sovereignty and national security. It is a case of getting a grip on the situation now or sleepwalking to a situation where New Zealanders will finish up as lowly paid serfs in the land that was built by the sweat and toil of the pioneers. Searching for Charlie by tom scott Charles Upham was the most highly decorated soldier in the Commonwealth forces of WWII, and could arguably be called the bravest soldier of the war. An unassuming stock worker/ valuer at the beginning of the war, he stormed through Crete and the Western Desert amazing and confounding his comrades with his exploits. He won two Victoria Crosses (the only combat soldier ever to do so) and in the opinion of his superiors deserved many more. Captured, he became an escape artist and ended his war in the famous Colditz POW camp. Shy and reluctant to take credit for his actions, he deflected all praise onto his soldiers and was described as “distraught” that he had been honoured. He then farmed in North Canterbury until his death in 1994, avoiding the limelight wherever possible. There has been one previous biography, “Mark of the Lion” published in 1962, which was a major bestseller and sells to this day Taking the Punches by Mike edwards A story of the cut-throat world of promoting in New Zealand boxing, from the 1960s to the modern era, as told by legendary trainer and promoter Mike Edwards. ‘Who would want to be a boxing promoter?

It’s a world of showmen, superstars, larger-than-life characters, brawlers, shysters, fraudsters and out-and-out criminals. Anyone who is anyone in the story of New Zealand boxing has worked with (or against) Mike, including Tuna Scanlan, Kevin Barry, Lance Revill, David Tua, Monty Betham Snr, Paul Murdoch and Joseph Parker, to name but a few.

Wednesday August 19 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 13 Your Local Views Get behind Redcliffs Four Square MP Ruth Dyson writes about the new Four Square supermarket in Redcliffs CHANGES are always challenging. During the lockdown, I heard many comments from people about the value of our “essential workers” and how much more they were appreciated. Of course, all those who work in our health system were high on the list. But so were others, less obvious but very important. They included our shop workers who kept us supplied with our groceries but also worked exceptionally hard to ensure that we shopped in safety. At the local Redcliffs New World, as I stood in the social distanced queue, many people noted the staff’s attention to sanitation and how friendly they were to people who were sometimes impatient but who were also anxious about the Covid-19 situation. So when the announcement came that New World Redcliffs was to be no longer and was being replaced by Four Square, and that some of these valued staff would not have their jobs, there was understandably a negative community response. So I want to put in a big plug for our new Four Square supermarket. I remember very soon after the February 22, 2011, quakes when the supermarket was destroyed, Foodstuffs was very hesitant about rebuilding. I argued strongly for the supermarket to come back but understood that even prior to the earthquakes, the viability of the business was not strong. That situation has, sadly, not changed. What has changed is our shopping habits and the local New World was not sustainable. Foodstuffs could have taken the call to just quit the area completely. But they remain committed to serving the local community so took the tough call to change to Four Square. It has been a very tough time for everyone but especially for the workforce. We all need to get behind this CHANGE: Heath de Garnham is the operator of the Redcliffs Four Square. local business if it is going to survive. No-one would want to see it fail so, now more than ever, it’s time to put our money where our mouth is and watch this supermarket flourish. Top: Vanessa Forsyth with Craig Hawtin at the checkout.
