6 Bay Harbour News Wednesday June 28 2023 Great Winter Reads INSTORE NEW RELEASES Head On - An All Black’s memoir of rugby, dementia, and the hidden cost of success by Carl Hayman, With Dylan Cleaver Carl Hayman, All Black #1000, once the most highly prized player in world rugby and a giant of the game in every sense - someone who was always respected, even feared. But at the end of seventeen years as a professional rugby player, the last eight played with the sole aim of setting up his family’s future, Hayman’s life began to unravel in nightmarish fashion. Head On is about the pressures on the modern athlete, where physical performance and commerce collide, and players become victims of their own success. Exploited then left out in the cold, Hayman is now left counting the hidden cost of the achievements that would have exceeded any young rugby player’s wildest dreams. As a relatively young man, still in his early 40s, Hayman contends with brain degeneration he should only be seeing at the end of his life, not in his prime. This book is also about how all of us can better understand how the decisions we make can have unintended consequences, and how we can better serve our young sporting talent.

Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. Under The Weather - A Future Forecast for New Zealand by James Renwick The must-read book on what New Zealand’s changing climate means for our everyday lives. A warmer world will change more than just our weather patterns. It will change the look of the land around us, what grows and lives on it - including us. In this must-read book, Professor James Renwick untangles how we know what the future holds and why it matters to our everyday lives. He looks at New Zealand’s increasingly frequent natural disasters, warming and acidifying waters, the creep of rising sea levels, and the ways that the changing weather will affect our agriculture, lifestyle, food security and economy. Under the Weather is a picture of a planet in danger, a reality-check on what that means for this country, and a reminder that the shape of our future is up to us.

NEWS 7 Humans, birds and dogs contaminating harbour water WATER TESTING in Lyttelton Harbour, Akaroa and the surrounding bays has revealed humans, birds and dogs are among the sources of contamination. Environment Canterbury under took the testing to determine what faecal pollution is entering the water after rainfall. ECan surface water science manager Dr Elaine Moriarty said the city council is now leading an investigation into how the contaminants are entering waterways in the area. “The investigation is complex as every public and private connection poses a potential contamination source, so investigations will take some time,” Moriarty said.
