4 Thursday July 1 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz PEGASUS POST GREAT WINTER READS INSTORE NOW! NEW RELEASES The Mirror Book by Charlotte Grimshsaw Growing up behind the family façade. Brave, explosive, and thoughtprovoking, this is a powerful memoir from a critically acclaimed writer. ‘It’s material, make a story out of it,’ was the mantra Charlotte Grimshaw grew up with in her famous literary family. But when her life suddenly turned upsidedown, she needed to re-examine the reality of that material. The more she delved into her memories, the more the real characters in her life seemed to object. So what was the truth of ‘a whole life lived in fiction’? This is a vivid account of a New Zealand upbringing, where rebellion was encouraged, where trouble and tragedy lay ahead. It looks beyond the public face to the ‘messy reality of family life - and much more’. Tikanga by Francis Tipene & Kaiora Tipene Living a fulfilling life rich with tradition, connection and te ao Maori Following on from their bestseller, Life as a Casketeer, Francis and Kaiora Tipene share how they bring the traditional values of tikanga Maori into day-to-day living, what they know about whanau, mahi and manaakitanga, and how they live a life rich with the concepts of te ao Maori Known for their warm hearts, grace and humour, the stars of the wildly popular series The Casketeers show how the traditions of tikanga shapes their lives juggling five sons, three businesses and a television show - all while sustaining a life filled with joy and connection. Jacinda Ardern: Leading With Empathy by Supriya Vani and Carl A Harte Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy is a major biography of one of the most important and inspirational leaders of the twenty-first century, based on interviews with the New Zealand Prime Minister herself. Jacinda Ardern: Leading with Empathy carefully explores the influences – personal, social, political and emotional – that have shaped Ardern. Acclaimed peace activist and journalist Supriya Vani and writer Carl A Harte build their narrative through Vani’s personal interviews with Ardern, as well as the prime minister’s public statements and speeches and the words of those who know her. We visit the places, meet the people and understand the events that propelled the daughter of a small-town Mormon policeman into a committed social democrat, a passionate Labour Party politician, and a model modern leader. Kiwi Farmers’ Guide To Life rural Tales from the Heartland by Tim Fulton Kiwi Farmers’ Guide to Life does just that, telling stories of New Zealand farmers, agribusiness entrepreneurs and even a couple of scientists. Each one knows about sweat, quick thinking and the importance of a sense of humour in the world of agriculture. From a dive into farming history to a probe of modern agri issues, Kiwi Farmers’ Guide to Life shows farmers at their finest and in some cases - at their most vulnerable. At heart, these stories explore why farmers do what they do, rather than how. So, put on your gumboots and let’s take that road less travelled. Knock Knock: Confessions of a Kiwi Interviewer by Trish Palmer Extraordinary stories from a lifetime spent conducting interviews. This is the world of the dreaded door-knock from the other side of the door. Trish Palmer has been working as an interviewer and area manager for market research companies for over 20 years, invited into the homes and private lives of an astonishing array of folk from every lifestyle imaginable. Her experiences on the job entail everything from bare bottoms to angry cats, the desperately struggling to the well-off, and everyone in between. There is comedy and sadness, surprises and the downright odd, from witches to boat-builders, dope growers and more. Poignant, hilarious, and always thought-provoking, this is a highly entertaining read. 1005 Ferry rd Ph 384 2063 while stocks last (see instore for terms and conditions) Barry & kerry
PEGASUS POST Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday July 1 2021 5 LEARNING EXPERIENCE: Kiwi Ferns international Charlotte Scanlon schools up pupils before a rip tag game. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN CHILLY: Scarborough Dippers will brave the elements once again this July. Messages both serious and fun • From page 1 The emphasis was on fun-based skill activities while on a serious note the Warriors and New Zealand Rugby League’s community teams delivered a well-being presentation focusing on the importance of sleep, hydration and nutrition. Wiki’s former club and Kiwis teammates Jerry Seuseu and Ali Lauitiiti also spoke to a group of Canterbury Rugby League 18-year-old grade players on Friday night, revisiting their journey as professional footballers. The trio also watched junior grade games at Canterbury A&P Park on Saturday morning, presenting player of the day awards to some of the 96 teams featuring players aged under-five to 12-years-old. “It has happened in the past but not to this scale, having the Warriors and NZRL down here working together,” said Canterbury Rugby League chief executive Duane Fyfe. “They could do two schools at the same time so twice the number of schools can be visited. It’s worked out well for us.” Community to benefit from early morning plunges into the surf • From page 1 “This is reflected in the growing number of people of all ages who are now joining us on a daily or weekly basis.” Last July, the Scarborough Dippers raised more than $6000 which was split between the Sumner and Taylors Mistake Surf Lifesaving clubs. This year, the group has chosen to support community projects which include the upgrade of Sumner Kindergarten’s playground and the surfboard library based at The Goat Shed. Others are yet to be confirmed. Said Newton: “It is important for us to support our local community. Most of us are from the Sumner, Taylors Mistake, Redcliffs and Mt Pleasant so it makes sense that we raise money to support the community that supports us.” •More information about Wet July can be found on the Scarborough Dipper’s Facebook page.
