Photographer exposes the sun’s surface
SUN MAN: New Brighton amateur astronomer Sai Shankar loves looking across 149,000,000km of space to record the
activity on the volatile surface of the sun.

VISITING THE sun is
impossible, but for a New
Brighton amateur astronomer
his forays into the boiling
5500 deg C cauldron of
the corona layer of the
sun’s atmosphere are done
photographically.
When asked why, Sai
Shankar, a teacher assistant at
Allanvale School in Bryndwr,
said he loves all kinds of
astro-photography: “But I
especially like photographing
the sun.”
“We forget the sun is a star,
just like all the other stars in
the sky, so when you look at
the surface of the sun you are
looking at a star.”

Petition
launched to
further
improve
intersection
safety
• By Fiona Ellis
SAFETY REMAINS a concern at
a busy Burnside intersection, with
more than 150 people signing a
petition for a green arrow to be
installed, in spite of changes made
by the city council.
The change.org petition
was launched by commuter
Natalie Ekman, who said she
typically used the Wairakei and
Grahams Rd intersection four
times a day.
Oncoming traffic and poor
visibility made a right turn risky
in all directions, she said.
“You basically have to start
pulling out on the orange to
turn,” she said.
“At least once a week we have a
near miss even though I’m very
cautious.
“It’s just a very dangerous
intersection . . . it’s not a perfect T
shape, it’s more of an X.”
Her petition stated that a green
right-turning arrow should be
installed so that cars can turn
safely without running the danger
of being hit by cars coming from
other directions.
A proposal to improve
pedestrian safety at the
intersection was approved by the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board at a meeting
in June last year.

Need an electric drill? Borrow it
• By Fiona Ellis
AIMING TO fix a community
problem, Steve Jones-Poole has
not just one tool at his disposal,
but over 200.
He is the co-ordinator of the
recently opened Shirley Tool
Shed, which lends tools to the
community for a total yearly
membership cost of just $20.
It was a high social-housing
area, and people may not have
access to affordable equipment
they needed for DIY and repair
projects, he said.
“People just don’t have access
to tools that they need to
maintain their properties,”
Jones-Poole said.
The shed stocked a wide range
of over 200 tools.
“Someone could walk in there
with nothing and walk out with
everything they need to build a
deck.”
House-cleaning equipment
such as mops and brooms were
also available to borrow, as was
gardening equipment, from
rakes to weed-eaters.
Since a jigsaw sliced through
a wooden ribbon to officially
open the shed two weeks ago,
membership had been quietly
building, and about a dozen
people had signed up.
“Our first hire was somebody
who had a property inspection
coming up. They hired the
vacuum cleaner so they could

clean the house, and they’ve
since been back and got gardening
tools and mowers and that
sort of thing.”
“It’s doing exactly what we
hoped.”
Located at 33 Briggs Rd, the
tool shed was open on Wednesdays
from 4-6pm.
It was also a good
community connection
point that would reach a new
demographic, he said.
“Some people won’t go and sit
down at the community cafe,
but they’ll come along . . . and
talk tools.”
He was “very pleased” that
the tool shed was now up and
running.
A Shirley Village Project community
activator, the shed had
been a goal of his for a few years,
but time had been needed to

organise the project and secure
donations and equipment.
“We’re working with residents
to identify what’s important to
them in the community and
what they would like to see
change and help and support
that to happen.’’

Capturing Sol in all its glory
THE
• From page 1
“It amazes me that we are
living in a time when we can
do something that’s been out
of reach of most amateurs
photographers up until now.
“With the help of an ordinary
refractive telescope and some
affordable specialist equipment
we can now see the sun up
close, it’s quite an experience to
look at it with your own eyes,”
he said.
Shankar said it’s all achieved
by using specialist filters and
some free online software.
“We start off with a white light
filter which lets all the colours
of the visible spectrum through,
but reduces them down to a tiny
percentage, less than one per
cent of what we see.
“This filter shows us the
photosphere of the sun, the layer
of the sun with all the sun spots
happening on it.”
Next he uses is a hydrogen
alpha optical filter designed
to transmit only a narrow
bandwidth of light.
“This filter only lets in a
wavelength of light that is
less than one nanometre
in size; a human hair is
600,000 nanometres in
thickness.
“It gives me amazing views
of a different layer of the sun’s
atmosphere, now I can now see
the chromosphere,” he said.
SOLAR FLARE: A big prominence exploding on the north
east limb of the sun, estimated as high as five or six
earths. Below – a small eruption is bigger than three
earths.
PHOTOS: SAI SHANKAR
This layer has the temperature
ranging from 6000 deg C to
about 20,000 deg C.
“You can still see sun spots
but you can now see
prominences exploding on the
edge of the sun plus a lot of
surface detail.
“It looks amazing and it’s
dynamic, over an hour it can
change immensely,” Shankar
said.
Using a monochromatic
video camera that captures at
100 frames per second, he then
records 30 seconds of imagery at
a time.
“The atmosphere of the sun
is quite turbulent so it’s called
‘lucky photography,’ as over that
30 seconds there will be brief
moments of clarity in the surface
turbulence.
“On screen, your watching
blurry images then suddenly it
jumps into clear sharp focus,“ he
said.
Free photographic stacking
software quickly sorts the
best one-to-five per cent of all
the images captured to produce
a clear, sharp result as a mosaic.
“It finds the best frames and
matches them together into a
black and white image which I
can then colourise to show the
sun.”
From there Shankar said he
will manipulate with them in
Photoshop and produce the
images he is becoming well
known for.
Shanker said he plans to
display his unique imagery
online in the coming weeks.
FACTS:
•The sun is Yellow Dwarf
star composed primarily of
hydrogen and helium.
•It is over 4.6 billion years old
and compared to the largest
known stars, red giants, isn’t
very big, but compared to
the most common type of
star in the universe, the red
dwarf, the sun is quite a bit
larger than most.
•The sun alone contains 99.8
per cent of the total mass in
our solar system.
•It’s almost 110 times the
diameter of earth.
•About one million earth’s
could fit inside the sun while
the surface area of the sun is
11,990 times that of earth.
•The sun is spinning in
the opposite direction to
earth and is travelling at
220km per second, light
takes eight minutes to reach
earth.
•The atmosphere of the
sun is composed of three
layers – the photosphere,
the chromosphere, and the
corona – and its surface
temperature is 5500 deg C
•The nuclear explosions on
the surface generate solar
winds, which are ejections
of extremely hot, charged
particles of plasma and can
travel through the solar
system at up to 450km per
second.
•Our orbital speed
around the sun is about
(107,000km/h.

Right turn too risky as is, say commuters
DANGEROUS: A car turns right from Grahams Rd into
Wairakei Rd on a red light (left). Meanwhile, the faded
road markings on Grahams Rd, near the intersection with
Wairakei Rd, have been criticised as confusing.
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
• From page 1
The board also requested
council staff review the
intersection in six months’ time
to determine if right turn arrows
were needed.
“We got quite hopeful when we
saw an arrow light being put in
and cabling being done, but it’s
actually a red arrow they’ve
put in.
“The red arrow stops you from
turning right if there’s a pedestrian
who’s crossing, but that’s
all.”
This was a wasted opportunity,
Elkman said.
Other changes made at the
intersection last year included
marking one lane especially for
right-turning traffic, but the
paint was now coming off, and
those who were unfamiliar with
the intersection could struggle to
identify markings, she said.
While the changes initially
made her feel safer as a driver,
this was no longer the case as
people reverted to bad habits
after they became familiar with
the changes.
Launched on Saturday night,
the number of people signing
the petition showed there was
“definite interest” in the issue.
Waimairi Ward councillor and
community board member Sam
MacDonald said the city council
had not yet reported back to the
community board on whether a
green arrow was needed.
Other works were taking place
in the area, and it made sense
for the need for a green arrow to
be assessed after these changes
were made as they could impact
traffic, he said.
“It hasn’t worked out as
planned,” MacDonald said of
the original six-month review
timeframe.
The city council did not
respond to request for comment
by Nor’West News before the
publication went to print.

Selwyn House School took a trip down the yellow brick road last
week with a performance of the Wizard of Oz.
The show was the result of two terms of rehearsals, countless
volunteer hours in set-building and costume creation.
Director Greg Pearce said the students could not wait to put all of
their hard work into action on the stage.
“The resilience and adaptability that these students have shown,
as we have faced the uncertainty of whether we could go ahead and
then made venue, date and audience changes to allow it to happen,
has been remarkable,” Pearce said.
“We are so grateful that we have managed to make this work
within the alert level 2 guidelines.”

Student indie pop duo launch first song
• By Fiona Ellis
FOR TWO young musicians,
what started out as messing
around has resulted in a bid
to spice up the country’s indie
music scene.
As indie-pop duo Love Me
Lazy, 16-year-old Georgie
Gaiger and 17-year-old Claudia
Moore, will launch their first
song on Spotify this week.
The Rangi Ruru Girls’
School students bonded over
their shared love of music. Both
sing and play bass, and Georgie
also plays guitar.
“We wrote a few songs just
messing around and then we
wrote Pink Paint and really
thought it had some potential so
we started taking it seriously,”
Georgie said.
“We love the New Zealand
indie sound and wanted to add
our own spice to it.
“Pink paint is a story of
realising you’re being lied to in a
relationship and all the emotion
and feelings that come with it.”
The title of the song came from
the lyrics “inside I watch my
pink paint dry,” a favourite line
for both girls.
Finding the patience to
properly prepare the song’s
release was the hardest part of
the creation process, Georgie
said.
“We were so keen to put the
song out, we wanted to release
it soon as possible but the
PINK PAINT: With the launch of their song on Spotify, 17-year-old Claudia Moore (left) and 16-year-old Georgie Gaiger are

challenge was being patient and
making sure it was top quality.
“It was all worth it in the end
and we are very proud of what
we have put together.”
The pair were also planning to
release an EP next year.
“Pink paint will 100 per cent
be in it and we are planning to
release the EP to all streaming
platforms including Spotify and
Apple music,” Georgie said.
After finishing high school,
they hoped to tour the country
and make a name for themselves
playing at festivals.

Ngaio Marsh resident Gavin
with his wife Margaret.
GAVIN ENJOYS THE THOUGHTFUL CARE
PROVIDED BY THE NGAIO MARSH TEAM
Gavin is looking forward to his 90th birthday
and there are plenty of reasons for him
to celebrate.
Both Gavin and his wife Margaret
recently faced a period of uncertainty,
when Gavin had a stroke. Later on,
he battled with a bout of pneumonia.
So, he now values being able to
exercise regularly, keeping in touch
with family members plus of course the
wonderful care he receives at Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village. Gavin first
moved into the resthome at
Ngaio Marsh in September 2020.
He likes to remain active. However, due
to some of the more recent COVID-19
restrictions, some of his gym-based workouts
on an exercycle have been put on hold but
walking is still an option. “Whenever I get
offered a chance to go for a walk, I take it,”
he says.
Gavin originally comes from the North
Otago farming community but when they
sold their property in the late 1980s he and
Margaret relocated. They lived in Oamaru
for a number of years before settling in
Christchurch in 2002. Christchurch was
a natural choice given that Margaret had
been brought up in the city and did her
nurse training there.
Margaret lives in the couple’s
Burnside home, and travels to the
village to be with Gavin. She often
brings Gavin a salad that he can add to
his lunch fare.
Gavin’s family includes son David, who lives
in Christchurch, and daughter Annie, who
lives in England.
Ngaio Marsh Unit Coordinator Chessie Yap
says COVID-19 travel restrictions meant
that communications with Annie were
somewhat hindered. So, she set up chats
on Zoom between Gavin and Margaret and
their London-based daughter.
“I used to do it sometimes on the cellphone,
but it was such a tiny little picture, so the
Zoom meetings have been much better,”
Margaret says.
“She (Chessie) has been marvellous,”
Gavin adds.
Gavin and Margaret also like to involve
themselves in village life. Their son
David often brings in his little dog
Betsy, who has become a firm favourite
with fellow village residents. “She’s
very good, she has to stay on her
lead,” Margaret says.
They’ve also found out they already know
a couple of the other village residents and
have enjoyed the relationship they have
formed with the village staff.
The initial reaction by Gavin and Margaret
to Ngaio Marsh was so positive,
Chessie recalls.
“I remember when Gavin came here first, he
really admired the size of the village atrium.
“He’s really enjoying it here!”
The Ngaio Marsh team are well
respected within the Christchurch
community for the dedicated healthcare
and nursing offerings they give to Gavin
and others. The staff members are
enthusiastic when it comes to making
sure the level of care and attention to
detail is of the highest order.
CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT
Ngaio Marsh Village has got you covered with a range of
living and care options. We’re dedicated to caring for you
now and into your future; from the extra support of a
serviced apartment to resthome and hospital care.

Retirement village wins people’s choice award
THE DIANA Isaac Retirement
Village team are the ecstatic
winners of an Aged Advisor
people’s choice award.
The Mairehau village took out
the best large retirement/lifestyle
village category for the South
Island.
The awards are based on hundreds
of reviews and ratings for
retirement facilities throughout
the country.
Aged Advisor NZ, which runs
the awards, provides consumer
information and news about the
aged care industry and village
living offerings.
This year other Ryman
Healthcare villages in
Christchurch also made the
people’s choice finals.
Margaret Stoddart was
a finalist in the best small
retirement/lifestyle village
award, and Anthony Wilding
was another finalist in the same
category as Diana Isaac.
Diana Isaac village manager
Tracey McCullough said
everyone within the village had
played a role in the win.
Diana Isaac was a close runner-up
in the 2020 awards and
had previously taken top spot in
2018 and 2015.
“You give a star rating when
you give feedback,” McCullough
said.
“The feedback is coming from
independent serviced apartment
and care residents, plus their
friends and family.
TOP RATING: Diana Isaac village manager Tracey McCullough holds the people’s choice award aloft. ​
“Everybody judges things
differently, whether it’s
independents looking at their
gardens and the maintenance
that’s been carried out, or
whether they come in and have
fine dining or events.”
On the other hand, those
in the care centre facilities
would often rate a village on
things such as care, laundry,
housekeeping, so everyone plays
their part, she said.
During her time as village
manager, McCullough said the
village had expanded its services.
There are now offerings such as
an e-cab, a dedicated café, and a
village host who works at the bar
and with the help of the kitchen
team provides snacks plus drinks
during evenings from Thursdays
to Sundays.
During the recent Covid-19
lockdown Diana Isaac, like other
Ryman villages, continued to
update the entertainment and
hospitality space, providing
‘happy hour in a bag’ supplies
to residents as well as Zoombased
entertainment and remote
exercise sessions.

Gym classes for over-60s proving popular
A SPORTING organisation in
Ōtautahi has engaged the local
community with a fun, engaging
and interactive new offering
designed specifically for over-60s.
Passionate about the fundamental
movement skills the
sport of gymnastics incorporates,
Olympia Gymnastics, created a
gymnastics class for older adults.
The class began at the end
of July and runs at 10.45am on
Wednesday mornings in Wigram.
It has so far seen a reasonable
amount of interest from the local
community with the highest
number of participants at eight
before the latest lockdown. Since
then, the class has returned at
level 2 and is once again beginning
to build momentum.
Olympia recreation manager,
Melissa Wakeham was the driving
force behind the start-up of
this class.
“A change in strategy was the instigator
for this class, we wanted to
look at focusing more on community-based
programmes and how
we could support different areas
of the community. Our goal was
to have a programme for everyone
to access and one gap that was
missing was an older adult’s programme,”
Wakeham said.
Sport Canterbury’s community
strength and balance project lead,
Rebecca Logan worked alongside
Wakeham to not only ensure this
class meets the needs of older
adults but to help promote the
class to the community.
“When we began working with
Rebecca Logan, it was highlighted
that falls prevention is something
that is needed. There are so many
aspects of the fundamental movement
patterns within gymnastics
that could benefit balance and
stability for the older population.
“It was a fun challenge to think
about how we could put this
together – something a little bit
different, something new but
something that could serve the
community really well. Rebecca
gave us more information about
the Live Stronger for Longer
project and what to include in
the programme. This helped us
connect the dots and realise this
would actually be really good for
the community,” she said.
The regular participants are enjoying
the challenge and the opportunity
to build their strength
in this specific type of class not
offered elsewhere in Ōtautahi.
“I come along to these classes
to work on my balance – I’ve
noticed that as I’ve got older, my
balance has gone downhill. A few

years ago, I had a fall and broke
my arm and have osteoporosis,
I don’t want to have a fall again,”
participant Anne said.
Olympia instructor, Becky
Morrison has also enjoyed working
with a different age-group
than who she usually coaches and
instructs.
“I like working with a different
age group, we’ve only offered
young people and children’s
classes previously, but to work
with an older adult population I
really enjoy seeing the progress
each week through the balance
exercises and the social confidence
they gain.
“I think it’s important for older
adults to keep their power up and
their balance up because as they
get older it can start to deteriorate
a little bit, so classes like these can
keep the balance and prevent falls
from happening, or injuries from
a fall at home,” Morrison said.
Morrison’s time running this
class is coming to an end as she
takes on a full-time roll at the
Accident Compensation Corporation,
however, Olympia competitive
women’s artistic gymnastics
coach, Patrick Smith will be taking
over from her to lead this class.
Live Stronger for Longer is
a nationwide project launched
in 2017. One of the goals of the
project is to create and grow
access to accredited strength
and balance classes across New
Zealand.
Currently there are over 200
accredited classes within the
Canterbury District Health Board
region, including the class at
Olympia Gymnastics.
Accredited classes work to
improve an individual’s strength
and balance, supporting
our kaumātua to stay living
independently and injury free in
their own homes.

Have you ever just stopped in your

you couldn’t understand it, let alone
explain what was really happening? In
the current market, I find myself in that
realm weekly and while it’s exhilarating
on one hand, it’s deeply unusual on the
other - and it defies belief.
The property market, this market, the
prices, the scale, the desperation, tears
and joy.
Every human emotion is being played
out. I’ve seen it all and not just in our
own auction rooms but everywhere that
property is being transacted.
To provide context and analysis, we
review as a business - and a sales team -
every auction (because that is where the
magic is occurring) that we conduct over
And the findings so far include standouts,
this week and every week over the past
four months.
There’s the property in Burnside with three
bidders that, after the announcement
it was to be sold at $780,000, achieved
$808,000 with additional bidding, or a
2-bedroom unit on Wilsons Road that had
its auction brought forward at $435,000
and once it was announced as being 'on
the market and selling' reached $700,000
due to the pressure of five bidders.
Then there was a Clyde Road property
which was announced on the market on
auction day for $1,120,000 and then sold
at $1,425,000. To be fair, I could recount
example after example of similarly
exceptional results, as well as glowing
testimonials from people who have felt
their lives are now altered.

So could this all change and what would
preempt that?
Increased interest rates are already
occurring, more listings are coming to
the market as owners hope that they
too will enjoy the “Lotto win” sales
figures experienced by others, and the
government is legislating to allow for
higher density infill housing throughout
the city. So, yes to changes, but whether
these alter the current picture remains
uncertain. As the top real estate expert
(C.B) says "There might be a small clip".
Let's see shall we? In the meantime, I’m
doing the best I can to hold tight and
add value for owners and support for our
purchasers.
It's busy out there!
