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 />

Arohanui<br />

Haeata Formal <strong>2021</strong><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 />

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 />

Resilience Committee<br />

chairwoman Sara Templeton,<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 />

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 />

NEW BRIGHTON<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 />
