4 Bay Harbour News Wednesday April 7 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEW RELEASES GREAT Autumn READS INSTORE! Gulf Wars How We Kept The Cup by richard Gladwell Gulf Wars is a pictorially driven celebration of Emirates Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup win in Auckland 2021, written from an on the water perspective by one of the world’s most influential America’s Cup photo-journalists, Richard Gladwell. Richard Gladwell is an international sailing journalist and photographer who lives in New Zealand. He began sailing when he was ten years old and first wrote about the America’s Cup five years later. A Kiwi representative sailor, he competed internationally in dinghies and keelboats for 12 years, sailing with and against some of the current senior members of Emirates Team New Zealand. He has covered the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand in its various renditions for the past 35 years. Between Five Eyes 50 years of Intelligence Sharing by Anthony r. Wells UK/US intelligence and the wider Five Eyes community of Canada, Australia and New Zealand is primarily about one main thing: Relationships. In this remarkable book, Anthony Wells charts fifty years of change, turmoil, intense challenges, successes and failures, and never-ending abiding Five Eyes relationships. He traces the development of institutions that he firmly believes have sustained, and indeed may have saved, Western democracies and their allies from those ill disposed to the value system and culture of our nations. More than a chronology of the UK/US intelligence community during this fifty-year period, it is also a personal insight into key relationships and the abiding strength of the United States and the United Kingdom and its Five Eyes allies relationships. The author is the only living person to have worked for British Intelligence as a British citizen and US Intelligence as a US citizen. He was a fully trained and accredited security officer for two US intelligence organizations, and used his own extensive unclassified collection of papers, personal notes and diaries, as well as his family library for source material to create this book. A Nurse’s Story by Louise Curtis with Sarah Johnson Moving, honest and inspiring – this is a nurse’s true story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis. Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. In A Nurse’s Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times. The Auschwitz Photographer Based on the true story of Wilhelm Brasse by Luca Crippa and Maurizio Onnis When Germany invaded Wilhelm Brasse’s native Poland in 1939, he was asked to swear allegiance to Hitler and join the Wehrmacht. He refused. He was deported to Auschwitz concentration camp as political prisoner number 3444. A trained portrait photographer, he was ordered by the SS to record the inner workings of the camp. He began by taking identification photographs of the prisoners as they entered the camp, went on to capture the criminal medical experiments of Josef Mengele, and also recorded executions. Between 1940 and 1945, Brasse took around 50,000 photographs of the horror around him. He took them because he had no choice. Eventually, Brasse’s conscience wouldn’t allow him to hide behind his camera. First he risked his life by joining the camp’s Resistance movement, faking documents for prisoners, trying to smuggle images to the outside world to reveal what was happening. Then, when Soviet troops finally advanced on the camp to liberate it, Brasse refused SS orders to destroy his photographs. ‘Because the world must know,’ he said. Crusade On! Celebrating 25 years Of The Crusaders By Matt McIlraith The Crusaders are not just another sports team. Out of a modest beginning grew the most formidable professional club entity rugby has ever seen. Yet sustained on-field excellence is just part of the story of a team that succeeded by living its stated ethos of hard work, the embracement of diversity, and a commitment to represent its people with pride and humility. Join the crusade as Matt McILraith takes you inside the club’s first 25-years, dissecting the key moments, the successes and the rare failures, complete with season analysis, biographies of all 245 players, and the five head coaches, as well as statistics from all 370 games the team played. A 360-degree portrait, Crusade On also introduces some of the larger-than-life personalities, from within the team and off the field, all of whom helped to make the Crusaders what they are. The way the Crusaders accomplished their success, with no one person more important than any other, and the enduring culture they created to sustain it, is an example of continued achievement that is as relevant for the boardroom as it is for the sporting arena. On-going success in any pursuit is not achieved by accident. This is why the Crusaders’ story is so important.

Wednesday April 7 2021 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 5 Approval given to progress wharf upgrade • By Samantha Mythen THE DIAMOND Harbour Wharf upgrade project has been given approval to progress to the next stage. Last Thursday, the city council’s Transport and Urban Development Committee made the decision allowing the project to move ahead to the detailed design phase. This phase will allow for detailed cost estimates. Banks Peninsula councillor and Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner said preliminary estimates during the concept development have indicated the project will be delivered within the existing budget. After the design phase has been completed, a contractor for construction will be procured and then construction on the wharf will begin. Said Turner: “After some time in the planning it is great to see this much needed upgrade happening. This is a significant improvement to accessibility and public safety – great news for the community and for ferry users.” Said Diamond Harbour Community Association chairman Nathan Graham: “The association is very happy that the wharf will be more accessible to those with young children, the elderly and others who struggle with accessibility.” A time line on how the project will commence is yet to be released. • From page 1 “I’ve always wanted to be involved in the community and then we came up with the idea for the library of boards, and lending them out to the community.” Said Alonso: “We realised this was something we wanted to keep doing. We are enjoying the process and pushing each other. It’s hard work but trying out the boards makes it all worth it.” The idea is that people will be able to borrow a surfboard for a koha. “People can’t always afford a board, plus the library would mean people can try out and experiment with different styles of boards,” Sampaio said. Alonso explained they had brainstormed the idea that if people liked a surfboard they tried, they could then buy the board for a low cost price covering the materials for the board and the materials for another board to then be made for the library. “It’s not just about us making the boards, but we want it to be a community initiative. We would love for people to provide feedback on the boards too,” said Alonso. The Sumner Hub is home to The Goat Shed team. They have set up their workshop in a converted garage, built specifically by and for the team. Lucas Sampaio shaping up a board. Initiative to benefit community It is a non-profitable project, and the two men are currently spending mostly their own money and time to fund the venture. The project is in its early stages and they are currently shaping their first few surfboards. In the meantime, they are thinking of offering to repair boards to bring in more income to help develop the project further. Said Sampaio: “We want people to believe in us and to do that we have to show we are doing something. We want to show this is a project which is up and running.” If you would like to donate any materials, email thegoatshedshapes@gmail.com Now that winter is fast approaching - check us out for a delicious selection of porridges.
