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.

hub 

opened 

for polio 

survivors 


A NEW support hub for polio 

survivors has opened near 

Addington, catering for an 

estimated 600 polio survivors in 

the Canterbury region. 

Polio New Zealand, in collaboration 

with the Duncan 

Foundation, launched the new 

physical and well-being support 

hub based at On the Go Physio. 

Polio New Zealand president 

Brian Robinson said the assessments 

and tailored physiotherapy 

programmes will help polio 

survivors cope with a syndrome 

known as the late effects of polio. 

“Following the poliomyelitis 

epidemics in the late 1950s, many 

survivors are now in their mature 

years and experiencing these late 

effects,” he explained. 

“These effects are common, 

affecting perhaps as many as 50 

per cent of individuals who contracted 

polio, and include associated 

pain in muscles, tendons, 

ligaments and joints. 

“Depression is also common 

as everyday activities become 

harder to perform because of the 

depletion of the motor neuron 

pool leading to fatigue. 

“The purpose of the 

Christchurch Polio New Zealand 

Hub is to support people to 

achieve their goals for better wellbeing 

in a way that suits them,” 

Robinson said.

Solid as a rock: Huntsbury 

celebrates community 

In Brief 

RAPAKI TRACK USERS 

TOILETING IN GARDENS 

Residents of Rapaki Rd have 

sought assistance from both the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote and 

Spreydon-Cashmere community 

boards to facilitate the possible 

provision and funding of a public 

toilet at the popular Rapaki Track. 

Residents advised that they were 

experiencing members of the 

public toileting in their gardens, 

as there was no public toilet 

available for the many hikers and 

bikers to use on the track. 

IN PLACE: Unveiling the 

plaque commemorating 

100 years of settlement in 

Huntsbury were Spreydon- 

Cashmere Community 

Board chairperson Karolin 

Potter (left). Olive Thomson, 

8, the youngest resident, 

and organiser David 

Drayton. 


PARENTS 

Do you have a son or daughter 

interested in horse riding? 

✭ Courses every weekend. 

✭ 2, 5 & 7 day School Holiday courses. 

✭ Private lessons available 

Monday to Friday 

✭ One day / one night $90 child 

✭ Opportunity to compete on our horses. 

✭ ½ day lessons and treks available. 

THE UNVEILING of a plaque 

commemorating the 100th 

anniversary of the settlement 

of Huntsbury was held at the 

Huntsbury Community Centre 

on Friday. 

Among the 32 people attending 

the celebrations was Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community 

Board chairperson Karolin Potter, 

who spoke of the efforts of 

the 25 residents who had helped 

in one way or another to get the 

plaque and the stone located, 

moved and installed on the site 

out in front of the centre. 

NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER 

TO THE NZ JET BOATING 

COMMUNITY FOR OVER 

50 YEARS 

Potter said that it was good 

to see so many residents getting 

involved in their community, as 

communities were a very necessary 

structure in the continued 

well-being of neighbourhoods. 

Organising committee member 

David Drayton said he had 

found the rock [the plaque is affixed 

to] after wandering around 

the hills for about six months 

looking for a suitable one. 

“It took about six people to 

move it into place outside the 

Huntsbury community centre 

and then we had a plaque 

designed and made. Mel Opie 

designed the plaque,” he said. 

SPEED LIMIT TO BE 

INVESTIGATED 

A planned new bicycle pump 

track and half basketball court 

to be sited on Hunter Tce, plus 

increased foot traffic from 

the recently relocated Opawa 

Farmers market, has contributed 

to concerns around traffic 

management at the South Library 

and Beckenham service centre on 

Colombo St. Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board has asked 

council officers to look at options 

to lower the speed limit. 

NO CUTBACKS TO KIDS 

PROGRAMMES 

The Graeme Dingle Foundation 

Canterbury region general 

manager Chris Davis has assured 

schools in the district that, in spite 

of a funding shortfall of $60,000 

this year, there will be no cutbacks 

to their programmes. The 

foundation helps 3776 students

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.

Polio survivor Jennifer Yorke 

has been attending physio 

classes for three years and 

said without them, her muscle 

strength and mobility would 

have deteriorated a lot more. 

“Polio’s weakening of some 

muscles means that other 

muscles are overworked to compensate. 

“Age is taking its toll on these 

overworked muscles. Physio and 

exercise routines customised 

for me have strengthened the 

muscles that I have left and I am 

definitely more mobile than I 

was three years ago,”she said. 

The estimated 600 polio 

survivors in the region will be 

able to benefit from the Duncan 

Foundation’s fully-funded 

physical assessments, and Polio 

New Zealand subsidised physiotherapy 

classes. 

Polio New Zealand estimates 

there are approximately 9500 

poliomyelitis survivors in New 

Zealand who could suffer from 

the late effects of polio of which 

the primary manifestation is 

fatigue, which can be severely 

disabling.

Last stage of cycleway 

gets the green light 

THE FINAL section of the 

Heathcote Expressway cycleway 

has been given the go ahead, with 

construction expected to start 

early next year. 

This section of the Heathcote 

Expressway is one of the Government’s 

‘shovel ready’ projects to 

stimulate the economy. 

The cycleway runs from the 

central city to Heathcote, via 

Woolston. The first part, from the 

central city to The Tannery, was 

completed in 2019. 

Last week the city council’s Urban 

Development and Transport 

Committee approved the route 

for the final section, from The 

Tannery to Heathcote. 

The committee agreed on a 

design that keeps the two-way 

access on the section of Cumnor 

Tce between Maunsell St and 

Chapmans Rd. The council had 

consulted on the possibility of 

making this section one-way. 

The committee also approved 

consultation on a 40km/h speed 

limit on Cumnor Tce alongside 

the cycleway. 

Urban Development and 

Transport Committee chair Mike 

Davidson said, “We’re already 

seeing cyclists enjoying the city 

end of the Heathcote Expressway 

cycleway and the Heathcote end 

of the route is another key part of 

our city-wide cycleway network. 

“We’re also keen to hear from 

the community on a 40km/h 

speed limit along Cumnor Tce, 

which would help to create a 

safer environment for everyone 

using the road or the cycleway by 

Ōpāwaho Heathcote river.” 

Both construction of the 

cycleway and consultation on the 

speed limit is expected to start in 

February. Construction will take 

about a year.

Young delegates have a say on their future 


THE NEXT generation of 

influencers, environmentalists, 

and community leaders got to 

voice their concerns about the 

future at a special session held at 

the city council last week. 

Twenty-four children, aged 

from 10 to 15 years and from 

five schools, took the chairs 

inside the council chambers and 

presented their ideas on coastal 

hazards and climate change. 

The next generation 

conversation workshop focused 

on seeking answers from 

young people about what they 

wanted to see happen on issues 

associated with global warming 

and climate change, as these 

things directly affect their future. 

City council senior news and 

content editor Lois Cairns said 

the point of the exercise was for 

the young people to formulate 

a submission on the coastal 

adaptation framework. 

“They had done some prework, 

looking at the proposed 

guiding principles within the 

framework and identifying what 

they liked, what they would like 

to change, what was missing 

and the importance of children 

and young people’s voices in the 

conversation,” she said.

Community College, Lyttelton 

Primary School, Governors Bay 

FOR REAL: In chambers, the young delegates got to vote on each of the four parts of 

their final submission on the coastal adaption framework. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

School, Banks Ave School and 

Chisnallwood Intermediate 

formed into groups and then, 

in chambers, presented their 

arguments which the students all 

voted on. 

The Lyttelton Primary School 

group posed the question that 

“they may invite us, they may 

listen to us, but it will depend on 

if they really hear us”. 

In front of city councillor and 

Sustainability and Community 

Resilience Committee 

chairwoman Sara Templeton, 

ECan councillor Vicky 

Southworth and Future Curious 

representative Sian Carvell, 

the young respondents hotly 

debated what their future could 

look like. 

Keegan Verster, 13, typified the 

depth the dedicated year 9 class 

at Chisnallwood Intermediate 

possessed when he spoke 

passionately to the audience 

about his feelings for the future. 

“It was an amazing experience, 

we all have a capability of being 

heard and I think we will be 

heard,” Keagan said. 

His group’s presentation was 

about changing the education of 

youth to affect change for their 

future. 

“It’s very important that we all 

should be learning about what’s 

happening today. How are we 

going to stop it if we don’t know 

anything about it,” Keegan said. 

His class studies the changing 

environment and was well 

represented at the session, 

supplying four of the eight 

speakers. 

Classmate Sarita Kotze, 13, 

found it a huge opportunity, and 

said the highlight was speaking 

in front of the assembled group. 

She hopes it will help her spread 

information and influence 

change. 

Said Sarita: “The facts 

shouldn’t be sugar-coated when 

discussing climate change.” 

Chisnallwood pupil Rosie Paul, 

13, said she got so much from the 

meeting. 

“It was absolutely amazing as 

I got to hear the student voice,” 

she said. 

Teacher Jude Robinson said 

the Chisnallwood Intermediate 

class were very passionate. 

“There are 32 kids in the 

class and their passion and 

ability to understand the key 

issues about climate change is 

amazing. As teachers we want to 

challenge them, to get them to 

take it further and this session 

here today is a result of that,” 

Robinson said. 

The submission the pupils 

created will now be considered 

along with other submissions the 

city council will receive before it 

makes a final decision in the 

new year.

Theatre Sports silverware 

brought home – again 

Cashmere cleans up 

in business comp 

This year Cashmere students have secured an all-Cashmere final by winning the five 

available spots in the Young Enterprise Regional Finals. The student enterprise called 

Food Fight were the winners, qualifying for the nationals at which they will compete 

to be the "Young Enterprise Company of the Year". Congratulations to the teams that 

qualified! 

Students dig in for 

future biodiversity 

Ko ahau te taiao, ko te taiao, ko ahau – 

I am the environment and the environment is me 

Fifty-five students and staff from 

Cashmere High School gave their 

time after school recently to help 

plant 175 native seedlings along 

our Waimokihi Stream bank to 

increase the biodiversity within our 

school and protect our waterways. 

Their mahi will leave a longlasting 

legacy at Cashmere High 

School. 

Massive thanks to those at 

Christchurch City Council for 

supporting us to achieve our goals 

and providing the beautiful plants. 

Massive congratulations to Fynn Skelton, Polly Daniels, Toby Hull and Isaac Macdonald 

for beating Christ's College, St Andrews Collage, St. Thomas's and Christchurch Girls' 

High at the Senior Theatre Sports competition at The Court Theatre over the weekend. 

Great to be able to put that silverware back in the cabinet once again. 

Kaspar selected for 

representative team 

Congratulations to 

Kaspar Hayes from 

our Rugby First 

XV who has been 

selected to play in 

the Canterbury Metro 

U16 Rugby side. This 

is a phenomenal 

achievement, and 

we wish him all the 

best for the team's 

upcoming games.

At the end of October our Dance students shared their work from the year as part of 

the annual Cashmere High School Dance Showcase. 

It was a beautiful sharing of work that the students had learnt, created themselves 

and created for each other. The talent and aroha of the students was clear for all to 

see and clearly demonstrates the growth of Dance at Cashmere High School. 

Alumni return for basketball game 

Great to welcome back Cashmere 

High School alumni for our annual 

alumni basketball game last 

month. The game not only serves 

as a way for current players to 

reconnect with former students, 

but also was the last game of the 

season for our year 13 students.

Alumni and want to know how

Real estate office marks 

first year in business 

ADVERTISEMENT 

Mike Pero St Martins recently 

celebrated its first birthday, marking the 

occasion with a free sausage sizzle for 

the community, followed by an evening 

function at the office for family and staff. 

Franchise owner Jo Warren says she 

kept it low-key as it had already been 

postponed due to Covid restrictions and 

lockdown. 

Over the last 12 months the office has 

become an integral part of the local area, 

with people now really starting to notice 

they are there, Jo says. 

“Since the Bohemian Bakery moved 

in next door we have had lots of people 

looking in the window and popping in to 

say hello. 

“Now when I get calls for appraisals 

people often mention that they know 

my office well and contacted me because 

they have seen me in the community and 

doing my regular sausage sizzles etc.” 

Jo is thrilled with how the business has 

grown over the first 12 months. 

“It started out slow as I was the new 

girl in town but I’ve worked really hard 

to prove I’m worth listing with, and 

I am now number four agent on the 

Rate My Agent website for all agents in 

Christchurch. 

“At our awards evening held online in 

August I won the Top Sales Growth for a 

Franchise award for July 2020-June 2021, 

and that was out of almost 60 franchises 

nationwide. 

“I was very honoured and proud to 

receive this award, and could not have 

done it without my amazing PA Tanya 

Robinson and my business partner and 

husband Peter Warren, who has over 

26 years of real estate experience in 

Christchurch. 

“I still have no salespeople working in 

my office but I am always looking and 

hope to have one if not two join me in 

the next 12 months. I do have a mortgage 

broker now, Sammi Schuurman, who is 

a wonderful asset and addition to our 

team.” 

Jo says there is still a shortage of listings, 

which means properties are continuing to 

sell quickly and for record high prices. 

“People tend to stay in the St Martins 

area for a long time, so when a listing 

becomes available it gets snapped up as 

demand is high from people wanting to 

move into the area. 

“I have sold many properties for elderly 

people moving out of their homes – one 

lady had been there for 64 years, and it’s 

an honour to be able to make the process 

as easy and kind as possible as it is a 

big deal for them. I think these are my 

favourite clients and I always make sure I 

visit them in their new abode, wherever 

that may be.” 

Also covering the Woolston area, Jo says 

this has seen massive growth in the past

A year into running her business, Jo 

says she loves it. 

“I have lived in the area for 15 years, 

so it’s an absolute pleasure and privilege 

to be able to market homes in my 

neighbourhood. I feel this gives my 

vendors the best chance of an ultimate 

outcome as I have real knowledge and 

genuine love for the area. 

“And I absolutely appreciate everyone 

who gave the new lady in town a chance 

to market their homes and allowed me to 

make my office the success that it is.” 

I live it, I love it, I sell it! 

We are represented in the St Martins 

area by a local resident!

task, so making sure your automobile is 

operating safely and at its best is important. 

Being aware of car sounds and liquid 

measurements is very helpful with the 

maintenance of your vehicle. If you 

notice your car overheating or if your air 

conditioning is not working, chances are 

your car radiator or air conditioning system 

is on the blink. 

If this is the case and your car radiator is 

not operating the way it should be, it can 

have serious consequences, because your 

radiator is an essential part of keeping your 

car safe and operational on the road. 

When you have questions about your 

radiator or air conditioning systems, look 

no further than Christchurch Radiators 

located on Buchan Street in Waltham. 

The owner, operator of Christchurch 

Radiators is Chris and he has been servicing 

both radiators and air conditioning systems 

for decades. His shop has the reputation for 

high quality service, and he is considered 

an expert in his field delivering high-quality
