Bay Harbour News Wednesday July 26 2023 8 NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz HISTORIC: The bell was collected from Rangi Ruru by Billy Williams from the Deep Cove Outdoor Education Trust with deputy principal Stephanie Barnett on hand to see it off. Right – The bell has presented to Rangi Ruru in 1964 by Bob Round who was an engineer on the MS Wanganella and had a daughter at the school. Rangi’s old bell on the move • By Briar Allen THE OLD school bell that used to ring out over Rangi Ruru Girls’ School has returned home to Fiordland. The bell originally came from the ocean liner, MS Wanganella, which was launched in 1929. The ship travelled between New Zealand and Australia for about 15 years before running aground in Wellington Harbour in 1947. It was then refloated and became a floating hostel in Deep Cove, Doubtful Sound, for workers on the Manapouri hydroelectric power scheme. Rangi Ruru deputy principal Stephanie Barnett said the bell was with the school for about 60 years. “It is an important part of New Zealand maritime history,” Barnett said. “It has not been hung here at the school for a number of years, and we are so pleased to pass on the care-taking of the bell to the trust and are excited to hear the bell ring once again.” The bell was presented to the school in 1964 by Bob Round who was an engineer while the ship was in Deep Cove and whose daughter Elizabeth was a student at the school. It was placed in the Margaret Patrick Courtyard and served as the school bell for many years. It then went into storage and the MS Wanganella was eventually sold for scrap. The bell has been borrowed by Billy Williams from the Deep Cove Outdoor Education Trust and is on a long-term loan. It will be hung by Meridian Energy at the trust’s base in Deep Cove. SAIL: The MS Wanganella was anchored at Deep Cove, Doubtful Sound, where it was used as a hostel for workers on the Manapouri hydroelectric power scheme.

The Soothe Study is recruiting now. We are looking for people with functional dyspepsia (indigestion) to participate in a research study investigating the digestive health effects of consuming mānuka honey. Symptoms of functional dyspepsia include: • pain or burning in the stomach, bloating, excessive belching (burping) or nausea after meals • an early feeling of fullness when eating • pain in the stomach that may sometimes occur unrelated to meals or may be relieved by eating. After a two-week lead-in period, we will provide you with mānuka honey or a honey-like product to eat before breakfast and dinner every day for six-weeks. Two weeks later we will again ask you about your functional dyspepsia symptoms. The time commitment for this study will be about 10 hours and you will attend six clinic visits in total. You will receive up to $220 in supermarket vouchers in recognition of the actual or reasonable costs associated with participating in this study (e.g., parking and/or travel costs). If you experience symptoms of functional dyspepsia, and are aged 18 to 70 years we would love to hear from you.
