DOG ATTACKS are short and<br />
violent.<br />
For one Shirley family a recent<br />
attack robbed them of their pet<br />
cat Roxy.<br />
She was hunted down and<br />
viciously attacked and killed by<br />
two stray ‘staffy cross-type’ dogs<br />
early in the morning.<br />
Her demise was witnessed<br />
on several home video<br />
surveillance cameras and<br />
her shattered remains were<br />
discovered later that same<br />
morning by neighbours further<br />
along a quiet cul-de-sac in<br />
Shirley.<br />
Owner David Pringle of<br />
Charlie Stanton Pl said the<br />
first his family knew of Roxy’s<br />
death was a phone call from an<br />
neighbour.<br />
“She was driving her kids to<br />
school when she spotted Roxy’s<br />
remains on a lawn at the end of<br />
the street.<br />
“We thought she had been<br />
run over but when I went<br />
down and saw the state she<br />
was in I quickly recovered her<br />
and put her in a bag as I didn’t<br />
want any of the kids here to see<br />
the mess she was in,” Pringle<br />
said.<br />

Concern for welfare of children<br />
• From page 1<br />
“We have a really special<br />
community here, everyone has<br />
young kids and we all look out<br />
for each other so I didn’t what<br />
mine or any other family’s kids<br />
to see the state she was in.<br />
“They (the dogs) had ripped<br />
her head to shreds, so after I got<br />
her home I went back through<br />
the surveillance video and spotted<br />
the attack.<br />
“The two dogs came from<br />
nearby Innes Rd and tracked her<br />
through some of our neighbours<br />
yards before they grabbed her<br />
from her favourite place lying<br />
under a bush out front of our<br />
house,” Pringle said.<br />
“Then on another video I<br />
could see them kill her.<br />
“It was a bit of a shock and<br />
my wife Shayle is still very upset<br />
about it all.”<br />
He said he and many of his<br />
neighbours had installed video<br />
surveillance gear outside their<br />
houses after they were victims to<br />
a growing number of burglaries<br />
in their quiet little street.<br />
“It’s got worse since the first<br />
lockdown last year, they got all<br />
my work tools in one robbery<br />
and another neighbour was up<br />
early one morning breastfeeding<br />
her baby when someone<br />
walked into her house,” the self<br />
employed electrician said.<br />
Following the attack Pringle<br />
contacted the city council dog<br />
control.<br />
“We wanted them to do<br />
SHOCKED: Roxy’s owner David Pringle with siberian husky Shinobi, her best mate,<br />

something about it as other pets<br />
in the area have also been killed<br />
by stray dogs, and we wanted to<br />
protect all of the small children<br />
here,” he said.<br />
“Many of them play in the grassy<br />
area where the dogs came through.”<br />
City council head of regulatory<br />
compliance Tracey Weston<br />
said video footage can be used<br />
as part of their investigation if<br />
it meets the evidential requirements<br />
of being able to clearly<br />
identify the offending dog.<br />
Sadly in spite of the footage<br />
supplied by the Pringles, council<br />
staff were unable to identify the<br />
collarless dogs in the attack.<br />
She added that currently there<br />
are 38,453 dogs registered in<br />
city area and they were aware of<br />
4044 that are currently unregistered.<br />
Neighbour Michelle Hall discovered<br />
Roxy and said she didn’t<br />
want her own children to see the<br />
remains.<br />
“The fence the dogs came<br />
through isn’t properly closed off<br />
from Innes Rd so stray dogs and<br />
anyone can just walk through,<br />
it worries me and my partner as<br />
we have a great little street here.<br />
“We will be asking the council<br />
to extend the fence to close off<br />
the access point,” she said.<br />
In Brief<br />
PARADE CANCELLED<br />
Santa will not be parading through<br />
the streets of New Brighton this<br />
year because of Covid concerns.<br />
Unfortunately, New Brighton<br />
Project have had to make the<br />
hard decision to cancel this year’s<br />
parade, but said the New Brighton<br />
Seaside Christmas market will still<br />
go ahead.<br />
FUNDRAISING EVENT<br />
The North Avon BMX club will<br />
start its fundraising drive for a<br />
world-class pump track with a<br />
gathering of professional cyclists<br />
at the club’s grounds on Saturday.<br />
Top riders, such as Anton Cooper,<br />
Billy Meaclem, Charles Murray,<br />
Joe Nation, Kate Winton and Sam<br />
Blenkinsop, have just raced at the<br />
Crankworx festival in Rotorua and<br />
are keen to help the fundraising<br />
drive. The club requires an<br />
additional $30,000 to reach key<br />
funding milestones to make the<br />
track a reality.<br />
PROJECT FUNDING<br />
The Christchurch Earthquake<br />
Appeal Trust is funding the<br />
New Brighton Community<br />
Leadership Project with up to<br />
$2 million available for one or<br />
two projects selected by the<br />
community to enhance the social<br />
and economic environment in<br />
the greater New Brighton area.<br />
This will be a community-led<br />
development programme, the<br />
key element of which is that the<br />
community will determine what<br />
the projects will be.<br />

Manukura Kōrero<br />
School Update<br />
Naku te rourou nau te rourou ka ora ai te iwi<br />
With your basket and my basket the people will live<br />
There is so much to celebrate as a kura as we reflect on<br />
what has been a very challenging year. Our ākonga and<br />
kaimahi have not let a global pandemic dampen their<br />
enthusiasm, they have not let the restraints of Lockdown<br />
overwhelm them and they have not succumbed to the<br />
fear and anxiety that often results from the plethora of<br />
information generated on social media about COVID-19.<br />
Instead they have remained focused and “made the<br />
main thing the main thing,” and that main thing for them<br />
is their ako and ensuring they take advantage of all the<br />
opportunities that are offered to them.<br />
Ākonga and kaimahi are working extremely hard at the<br />
moment at every level of the school. Our senior ākonga<br />
are busy with examination preparation as NCEA external<br />
exams get closer. I am so proud of our ākonga and the<br />
number of Excellence and Merit Credits they have earned<br />
in NCEA this year even though they faced the challenges<br />
of Lockdown and online learning. For many of our senior<br />
ākonga these exams are the culmination of a five year<br />
journey and we wish them well for this ultimate wero.<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate<br />
Meshach Faafoe, Pypah Lewis-Bolten and Larnayshia Tahuri,<br />
all of whom have received a University of Canterbury<br />
Takere Scholarship for 2022. This prestigious scholarship<br />
provides recipients with a fortnightly allowance of $400, free<br />
catered accommodation in a Hall of Residence, a tailored<br />
academic support and guidance programme with designated<br />
Māori and Pacific Student Advisors, a fees-free 15-point<br />
100-level course that may contribute to the recipient’s<br />
chosen degree, opportunities to engage, lead and support<br />
social and cultural activities, as well as engagement with<br />
whānau regularly so they can support recipients while they<br />
are studying away from home. An added advantage of this<br />
wonderful scholarship is the provision of Taurima (Mentors)<br />
and tutors to assist recipients as they navigate this exciting<br />
learning pathway.<br />
I would like to record as well my gratitude to all those<br />
people who have supported the recent COVID-19<br />
vaccination programme in the East. Haeata hosts a DHB<br />
vaccination clinic on Wednesdays 2.00pm - 4.00pm<br />
and this has seen a positive uptake by whānau of<br />
immunisations. There is no coercion for ākonga or whānau<br />
to get vaccinated, rather our approach has always been<br />
underpinned by informed consent.<br />
If whānau wish to enter our “Crush COVID-19”<br />
competition all they need to do is bring in the double dose<br />
vaccination certificate to be in the draw for a $200 prize,<br />
donated by the Manukura. Entries close on Monday, 6<br />
December <strong>2021</strong> and the winner will be announced at Junior<br />
Prizegiving on Friday,10 December <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
As always, it is a privilege to lead at Haeata, it is a privilege<br />
to work with our amazing ākonga and kaimahi, and it is a<br />
privilege to serve this wonderful community.<br />
Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui.<br />

Swim Safe Programme at Taiora<br />
The hours of planning, preparation and execution<br />
that went into creating this spectacular and<br />
beautiful event defies the imagination.<br />
So many of our amazing young people lived the<br />
dream and were amazed and overwhelmed as<br />
they entered a transformed Te Rau Ika. Walking<br />
the Red Carpet, we all entered a Winter<br />
Wonderland that, on every level, took your breath<br />
away.<br />
We were all treated to the most sumptuous<br />
banquet I have ever enjoyed at a school Ball,<br />
entertained by an amazing DJ and without<br />
exception treated like royalty.<br />
Champagne flutes, canapés and fine cuisine, photo<br />
op after photo op, dance after dance, the night just<br />
litup!!<br />
For me, these memories will endure! I have<br />
attended many beautiful weddings over the years<br />
and this event equaled or surpassed the standards<br />
of excellence set on those occasions with the<br />
attention to detail, presentation, organisation and<br />
ultimately unbridled enthusiasm (excuse the pun!)<br />
and celebration this<br />
event achieved.<br />
Thank-you to<br />
Michelle McConnell<br />
for the beautiful<br />
photographs.<br />
Thank you again<br />
Natalie Malan, you<br />
led your team and<br />
created a dreamcome<br />
true!!<br />
Whaea Peggy<br />
For the first two weeks this term, our Year 1-6 ākonga across Hikuawa and<br />
Kōmanawa hapori have enjoyed travelling by bus to Taiora each day for Swim<br />
Safe Water Education. The instructors were amazing, teaching a range of<br />
water safety skills to our ākonga.<br />
Ākonga enjoyed the daily 30 minute session,<br />
learning a lot of new skills including:<br />
• how to enter and exit the water in any<br />
environment<br />
• underwater skills and controlling their<br />
breathing<br />
• how to float on the water<br />
• moving, rolling and turning in the water<br />
• water safety and awareness<br />
• what to do in an emergency<br />
All of which support them to be<br />
more confident in water.<br />

Capturing Sol in all its glory<br />
THE<br />
• From page 1<br />
“It amazes me that we are<br />
living in a time when we can<br />
do something that’s been out<br />
of reach of most amateurs<br />
photographers up until now.<br />
“With the help of an ordinary<br />
refractive telescope and some<br />
affordable specialist equipment<br />
we can now see the sun up<br />
close, it’s quite an experience to<br />
look at it with your own eyes,”<br />
he said.<br />
Shankar said it’s all achieved<br />
by using specialist filters and<br />
some free online software.<br />
“We start off with a white light<br />
filter which lets all the colours<br />
of the visible spectrum through,<br />
but reduces them down to a tiny<br />
percentage, less than one per<br />
cent of what we see.<br />
“This filter shows us the<br />
photosphere of the sun, the layer<br />
of the sun with all the sun spots<br />
happening on it.”<br />
Next he uses is a hydrogen<br />
alpha optical filter designed<br />
to transmit only a narrow<br />
bandwidth of light.<br />
“This filter only lets in a<br />
wavelength of light that is<br />
less than one nanometre<br />
in size; a human hair is<br />
600,000 nanometres in<br />
thickness.<br />
“It gives me amazing views<br />
of a different layer of the sun’s<br />
atmosphere, now I can now see<br />
the chromosphere,” he said.<br />
SOLAR FLARE: A big prominence exploding on the north<br />
east limb of the sun, estimated as high as five or six<br />
earths. Below – a small eruption is bigger than three<br />
earths.<br />
PHOTOS: SAI SHANKAR<br />
This layer has the temperature<br />
ranging from 6000 deg C to<br />
about 20,000 deg C.<br />
“You can still see sun spots<br />
but you can now see<br />
prominences exploding on the<br />
edge of the sun plus a lot of<br />
surface detail.<br />
“It looks amazing and it’s<br />
dynamic, over an hour it can<br />
change immensely,” Shankar<br />
said.<br />
Using a monochromatic<br />
video camera that captures at<br />
100 frames per second, he then<br />
records 30 seconds of imagery at<br />
a time.<br />
“The atmosphere of the sun<br />
is quite turbulent so it’s called<br />
‘lucky photography,’ as over that<br />
30 seconds there will be brief<br />
moments of clarity in the surface<br />
turbulence.<br />
“On screen, your watching<br />
blurry images then suddenly it<br />
jumps into clear sharp focus,“ he<br />
said.<br />
Free photographic stacking<br />
software quickly sorts the<br />
best one-to-five per cent of all<br />
the images captured to produce<br />
a clear, sharp result as a mosaic.<br />
“It finds the best frames and<br />
matches them together into a<br />
black and white image which I<br />
can then colourise to show the<br />
sun.”<br />
From there Shankar said he<br />
will manipulate with them in<br />
Photoshop and produce the<br />
images he is becoming well<br />
known for.<br />
Shanker said he plans to<br />
display his unique imagery<br />
online in the coming weeks.<br />
FACTS:<br />
•The sun is Yellow Dwarf<br />
star composed primarily of<br />
hydrogen and helium.<br />
•It is over 4.6 billion years old<br />
and compared to the largest<br />
known stars, red giants, isn’t<br />
very big, but compared to<br />
the most common type of<br />
star in the universe, the red<br />
dwarf, the sun is quite a bit<br />
larger than most.<br />
•The sun alone contains 99.8<br />
per cent of the total mass in<br />
our solar system.<br />
•It’s almost <strong>11</strong>0 times the<br />
diameter of earth.<br />
•About one million earth’s<br />
could fit inside the sun while<br />
the surface area of the sun is<br />
<strong>11</strong>,990 times that of earth.<br />
•The sun is spinning in<br />
the opposite direction to<br />
earth and is travelling at<br />
220km per second, light<br />
takes eight minutes to reach<br />
earth.<br />
•The atmosphere of the<br />
sun is composed of three<br />
layers – the photosphere,<br />
the chromosphere, and the<br />
corona – and its surface<br />
temperature is 5500 deg C<br />
•The nuclear explosions on<br />
the surface generate solar<br />
winds, which are ejections<br />
of extremely hot, charged<br />

Young delegates have a say on their future<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
THE NEXT generation of<br />
influencers, environmentalists,<br />
and community leaders got to<br />
voice their concerns about the<br />
future at a special session held at<br />
the city council last week.<br />
Twenty-four children, aged<br />
from 10 to 15 years and from<br />
five schools, took the chairs<br />
inside the council chambers and<br />
presented their ideas on coastal<br />
hazards and climate change.<br />
The next generation<br />
conversation workshop focused<br />
on seeking answers from<br />
young people about what they<br />
wanted to see happen on issues<br />
associated with global warming<br />
and climate change, as these<br />
things directly affect their<br />
future.<br />
City council senior news and<br />
content editor Lois Cairns said<br />
the point of the exercise was for<br />
the young people to formulate<br />
a submission on the coastal<br />
adaptation framework.<br />
“They had done some prework,<br />
looking at the proposed Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />
guiding principles within the formed into groups and then,<br />
framework and identifying what in chambers, presented their<br />
they liked, what they would like arguments which the students all<br />
to change, what was missing voted on.<br />
and the importance of children The Lyttelton Primary School<br />
and young people’s voices in the group posed the question that<br />
conversation,” she said.<br />
“they may invite us, they may<br />

ECan councillor Vicky<br />
Southworth and Future Curious<br />
representative Sian Carvell,<br />
the young respondents hotly<br />
debated what their future could<br />
look like.<br />
Keegan Verster, 13, typified the<br />
depth the dedicated year 9 class<br />
at Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />
passionately to the audience<br />
about his feelings for the future.<br />
“It was an amazing experience,<br />
we all have a capability of being<br />
heard and I think we will be<br />
heard,” Keagan said.<br />
His group’s presentation was<br />
about changing the education of<br />
youth to affect change for their<br />
future.<br />
“It’s very important that we all<br />
should be learning about what’s<br />
happening today. How are we<br />
going to stop it if we don’t know<br />
anything about it,” Keegan said.<br />
His class studies the changing<br />
environment and was well<br />
represented at the session,<br />
supplying four of the eight<br />
speakers.<br />
Classmate Sarita Kotze, 13,<br />
found it a huge opportunity, and<br />
said the highlight was speaking<br />
in front of the assembled group.<br />
She hopes it will help her spread<br />
information and influence<br />
change.<br />
Said Sarita: “The facts<br />
shouldn’t be sugar-coated when<br />
discussing climate change.”<br />
Chisnallwood pupil Rosie Paul,<br />
13, said she got so much from the<br />
meeting.<br />
“It was absolutely amazing as<br />
I got to hear the student voice,”<br />
she said.<br />
Teacher Jude Robinson said<br />
the Chisnallwood Intermediate<br />
class were very passionate.<br />
“There are 32 kids in the<br />
class and their passion and<br />
ability to understand the key<br />
issues about climate change is<br />
amazing. As teachers we want to<br />
challenge them, to get them to<br />
take it further and this session<br />
here today is a result of that,”<br />
Robinson said.<br />
The submission the pupils<br />
created will now be considered<br />
along with other submissions the<br />
city council will receive before it<br />
makes a final decision in the<br />
new year.<br />

MERIVALE-SHIRLEY<br />
HELPING KIWI’S SEE THE WORLD…<br />
EVENTUALLY!!<br />
It’s been a while since we’ve been in touch but we wanted to reach out to our<br />
community and let you know what is happening in the world of travel.<br />
As you all know our holidays abroad have been largely quashed by the Covid-19<br />
pandemic and we have navigated almost two years of living without the<br />
opportunity to travel and explore the world – something that many Kiwi’s love<br />
to do. But while we wait for the vaccination levels to reach the desired 90%<br />
outcome we thought it was the right time to say “HI” and to remind you that we<br />
are still here, waiting to help you get that long awaited holiday.<br />
Many of you will know that we relocated mid-2020 to the Merivale House of Travel<br />
location and merged the two stores. While it may be a bit further to travel to,<br />
it also offers some other great retail stores and lots of cafes to enjoy a coffee<br />
or lunch. So, please come and visit us! Our team have an enormous amount of<br />
experience and are well-travelled so you can trust us for honest, unbiased travel<br />
recommendations that are relevant to your needs.<br />
Some of you may not have booked with a travel agent in the past but travel in this<br />
“covid-era” comes with many more complications and as we have been at the<br />
forefront of this, our knowledge and advice is unparalleled. Simply put we are<br />
able to give accurate advice and 24/7 support should your holiday come with<br />
any issues or unforeseen cancellations.<br />
Booking online is easy – we all know that. But that computer screen cannot give<br />
you comparisons nor outline the benefits of specific products. Online travel<br />
agents often are not upfront about terms and conditions, can come with hidden<br />
costs and a lack of support when things go pear-shaped. We are committed<br />
to ensuring our clients have the best experience from the initial quotation stage<br />
right through to the return to New Zealand. House of Travel is one of<br />
New Zealand’s most trusted brands and we’re with you all the way.<br />
Across the travel and tourism industry we are hopeful that the Government will<br />
announce a reopening of our borders soon. We anticipate this will be in the early<br />
stages of 2022. We are also hoping to see major changes to the current MIQ<br />
system that has been challenging to say the least. So, it really is a case of watch<br />
this space! Many of you will still have credits to use up and if you are thinking<br />
of travelling in 2022 or 2023 we urge you to get in touch with us as soon as you<br />
can. Many other countries have had a head start on us and believe it or not many<br />
cruise lines and tour operators are starting to fill up for the coming year. Many of<br />
our suppliers are offering more flexibility with regards to bookings and deposits<br />
so booking early is recommended.<br />
We thought in this advert we’d highlight a few cruises that are coming up over<br />
the next couple of years. The cruise lines are all investing heavily in new hygiene<br />
regulations and the majority will be for vaccinated travellers only. All the work<br />
being done by cruise lines, tour operators, hotels, airlines will mean that travel can<br />
only become safer in the near future.<br />
So, please get in touch with us OR pop into the office to say hello. We are all very<br />
much looking forward to having positive, upbeat conversations again and to help<br />
fulfil your travel needs.<br />

All set and ready to save this summer<br />
THIS LONG weekend marks<br />
the start of the surf lifesaving<br />
summer season. On Christchurch<br />
beaches, including New Brighton,<br />
voluntary patrols will run every<br />
weekend from tomorrow until the<br />
second week of March 2022.<br />
A spokesman for Surf Life<br />
Saving New Zealand’s Southern<br />
Region team said all their<br />
volunteers had been training<br />
hard over the past few weeks in<br />
preparation for the start of the<br />
season.<br />
Covid-19 guidelines have meant<br />
clubs had to get creative to safely<br />
deliver training programmes,<br />
which have seen 45 new lifeguards<br />
and nine new patrol support staff<br />
qualify for duty.<br />
Since 1910, ordinary Kiwis<br />
have volunteered their weekends<br />
to patrol the beaches, saving<br />
thousands of lives.<br />
PREMISES: The New<br />
Brighton Surf Lifesaving<br />
Club’s new clubrooms,<br />
officially opened at the<br />
end of October.<br />

ALL SET: Ready to save lives this season are lifeguards (from left) Issac Davies, Max McClimont, Callum Sullivan-<br />
Roberts and Angus McEwan. They were setting up the flags for the first voluntary patrol of the summer season,<br />
which starts tomorrow on Canterbury Anniversary Day. Voluntary patrols run from <strong>11</strong>am-5pm every weekend from<br />
now until the second week of March. The New Brighton lifeguards have an alternating roster of five teams, taking<br />
turns to keep New Brighton beach safe. Lifeguards on duty range from the age of 14 to over 50.<br />

Each number in our DECODER grid represents a different<br />
letter - there is a number for all 26 letters of the alphabet.<br />
Enter the given letters into all squares with matching numbers.<br />
The challenge now is to work out which letters are represented<br />
by the other numbers. As you get the letters, enter them into<br />
the main grid, and the reference grid. To keep track of the<br />
letters you have found, cross them off the alphabet provided.<br />

When your brand includes the top Harcourts<br />
office out of 900 around the world in addition<br />
to the top franchise in the South Island for<br />
income per sales consultant, it’s clear that<br />
you’ve got an extraordinary team.<br />
So for these consultants to earn the position of one<br />
of the top fifteen real estate sales consultants at<br />
Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement.<br />
They are phenomenally good at what they do;<br />
skilled, highly trained and dedicated to delivering<br />
exceptional results for property owners. I am<br />
extremely proud to work with these real estate<br />
professionals.<br />
