4 Bay Harbour News Wednesday July 28 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz SOME HOT NEW BOOKS To get you through the Winter months INSTORE NEW RELEASES NOW! The Nine The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of Nazi Germany by Gwen Strauss The Nine follows the true story of the author’s great aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris. The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative from Gwen Strauss is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times. House of Kwa Wild Swans meets educated in this riveting true story spanning four generations by Mimi Kwa Mimi Kwa ignored the letter for days. When she finally opened it, the news was so shocking her hair turned grey. Why would a father sue his own daughter? The collision was over the estate of Mimi’s beloved Aunt Theresa, but its seed had been sown long ago. In an attempt to understand how it had come to this, Mimi unspools her rich family history in House of Kwa. One of a wealthy silk merchant’s 32 children, Mimi’s father, Francis, was just a little boy when the Kwa family became caught up in the brutal and devastating Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II. Years later, he was sent to study in Australia by his now independent and successful older sister Theresa. There he met and married Mimi’s mother, a nineteen-year-old with an undiagnosed, chronic mental illness. Soon after, ‘tiger’ Mimi arrived, and her struggle with the past - and the dragon - began ... Riveting, colourful and often darkly humorous, House of Kwa is an epic family drama spanning four generations, and an unforgettable story about how one woman finds the courage to stand up for her freedom and independence, squaring off against the ghosts of the past and finally putting them to rest. True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee by Abraham riesman Stan Lee—born Stanley Martin Lieber in 1922—was one of the most beloved and influential entertainers to emerge from the twentieth century. He served as head editor of Marvel for three decades and, in that time, launched more pieces of internationally recognizable intellectual property than anyone other than Walt Disney: Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, Black Panther, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor . . . the list seems to never end. On top of that, his carnival-barker marketing prowess more or less single-handedly saved the comic-book industry and superhero fiction. Without him, the global entertainment industry would be wildly different—and a great deal poorer. But Lee’s unprecedented career was also filled with spectacular failures, controversy, and bitter disputes. Lee was dogged by accusations over who really created Marvel’s signature characters—for whom Lee had always been suspected of taking more than his proper share of credit. A major business venture, Stan Lee Media, resulted in stock manipulation, bankruptcy, and criminal charges. And in his final years, after the death of his beloved wife, Joan, rumors swirled that Lee was a virtual prisoner in his own home, beset by abusive grifters and issuing cryptic video recordings as a battle to control his fortune and legacy ensued. A Runner’s High by dean Karnazes The iconic superhuman endurance runner embarks on his toughest challenge yet-the Western States 100-offering insights into why running is so challenging and rewarding. Dean Karnazes has pushed his body and mind to inconceivable limits, from running in the shoe-melting heat of Death Valley to the lung-freezing cold of the South Pole. He’s raced and competed across the globe and once ran 50 marathons, in 50 states, in 50 consecutive days. In A Runner’s High, Karnazes chronicles his return to the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run in his mid-fifties after first completing the race decades ago. The Western States, infamous for its rugged terrain and extreme temperatures, becomes the most demanding competition of his life, a physical and emotional reckoning and a battle to stay true to one’s purpose. Confronting his age, wearying body, career path and life choices, we see Karnazes as we never have before, raw and exposed. A Runner’s High is both an endorphin-fuelled page-turner and a love letter to the sport from one of its most celebrated ambassadors. Ethel Rosenberg: A Cold War Tragedy by Anne Sebba Ethel Rosenberg’s story has been called America’s Dreyfus Affair: a catastrophic failure of humanity and justice that continues to haunt the national conscience, and is still being played out with different actors in the lead roles today. On 19th June 1953 Ethel Rosenberg became the first woman in the US to be executed for a crime other than murder. She was thirty-seven years old and the mother of two small children. Yet even today, at a time when the Cold War seems all too resonant, Ethel’s conviction for conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of the Soviet Union makes her story still controversial. This is an important moment to recount not simply what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the ‘trial of the century’, but also a timeless human story of a supportive wife, loving mother and courageous idealist who grew up during the Depression with aspirations to become an opera singer. Instead, she found herself battling the social mores of the 1950s and had her life barbarically cut short on the basis of tainted evidence for a crime she almost certainly did not commit. Ethel’s tragic story lays bare a nation deeply divided and reveals what happens when a government motivated by fear tramples on the rights of its citizens. 1005 Ferry rd Ph 384 2063 while stocks last (see instore for terms and conditions) Barry & kerry
Wednesday July 28 2021 Bay Harbour News • By Samantha Mythen HEATHCOTE residents have slept soundly for the past few mornings now Tony the rooster has been captured. Last Tuesday, a “pretty vicious looking” rooster suddenly appeared in Jeremy McTear and his family’s backyard. “He was rather large and confident and very quickly made himself at home, digging up the lawn and hiding in the bushes,” McTear said. “He was all feather, talons and large beak with a bright red comb.” The family’s “guard” dog, Ziggy, who patrolled the garden, was out of action recovering from surgery. Over the next few days, Mc- Tear and his sons, Oliver, Jamie and Leon, attempted to catch Tony. However, he was quite the escape artist and at each attempt, he managed to flee and fly over a fence to terrorise their neighbour. “He was incredibly quick and able to escape through gaps that seemed impossibly small,” said McTear. “An hour or two later he’d appear at the door or window and taunt us or the dog. Sometimes he’d just sit in the neighbour’s gutter and glare.” Ziggy eventually took an interest, but only to “wandering” over to see what all the fuss was about. At seeing the rooster, Ziggy chickened out from his guard dog duties. They posted on the community Facebook page, Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tony loses bid to rule the roost Jeremy McTear attempting to find Tony’s family, but to no avail. Tony had decided his new home was in their backyard. Each morning last week, Tony rudely woke the family and neighbours up at 5.20am, crowing, said McTear. Tony was finally captured on Thursday, when McTear, his wife Tina and three sons armed themselves with blankets, fishing nets, bread and a cat carry cage. TEAM EFFORT: (From left) – Oliver, Jamie and Leon successfully captured Tony, a rooster that was terrorising the family’s backyard. “It was a team effort (chase),” McTear said. Afterwards, with Tony safely secured in the cat cage, McTear said he was either in shock or playing dead. But he soon perked up when being transported to the SPCA, joining Simon, a chicken. “Staff said he was quite grumpy on arrival.” McTear said his sons asked for KFC on the way home. “We didn’t have a problem with that,” he said. “On Friday we all had a great sleep in.” Tony will be put up for adoption this week.
