The Duncan-Caley’s son 

Connor, 8, was diagnosed with 

a brain tumour in June last year, 

which then caused him to develop 

Posterior Fossa Syndrome, 

leaving him unable to blink, 

swallow, move or talk. 

He has undergone several operations, 

weeks of radiation, and 

Parklands Lotto & Post 

four months of chemotherapy. 

On top of that Connor’s father 

Mark Duncan-Caley lost his job 

when the company he worked 

for went into liquidation, and the 

earthquake-damaged house they 

bought as an ‘as is where is’ is 

now subject to insurance issues. 

So the community has rallied 

around to help them out with a 

fundraising art auction. 

Connor and his parents are 

currently living at the Wilson 

Centre in Auckland, which 

provides a rehabilitation service 

for children.

THE SPOTLIGHT is going on 

freedom campers parking up 

from North Beach to South New 

Brighton. 

Forty complaints about their 

activities were made to the city 

council between October and 

late February. 

More than 300 comments 

were posted on the People’s 

Independent Republic of 

New Brighton Facebook page 

debating the freedom camping 

issue. 

A North New Brighton 

resident, who only wanted to be 

named as Nicky, was outraged 

when she saw a freedom camper 

washing her underwear in a 

drinking fountain in the North 

Beach car park on February 24. 

In spite of being asked to stop 

by Nicky and another woman, 

the freedom camper continued. 

“I told her, we don’t like this, 

this is disgusting, kids drink 

out of this including mine, 

can you please go and do it in 

the changing rooms, this is a 

drinking fountain, but she just 

shrugged it off . . . I just found it 

really unhygenic.”

from the editor’s desk 

IF EVER a family deserved a stroke of 

good luck it is the Duncan Caley’s. 

On page 1 today, we highlight their 

plight – a terribly ill child, dad’s out of 

work and the house they bought 

post-quake has major insurance issues. 

Most of us have had quake insurance problems, but add on 

the sick child and losing your job and it makes it one tough 

mountain to climb – just to get to the start line. 

So the community is rallying around to do what they can, 

and a fundraising art auction will be held this month. 

Event organiser Maureen Taane sums it up: “If there ever 

was a whanau in need of assistance, this is the one.”

Bid to keep Prestons bus route 


PRESTONS subdivision 

residents have come up with a 

plan to keep their bus service. 

They want to reroute the 125 

bus which travels from Redwood 

to Westlake and Halswell. 

The bus currently turns 

around in Farquhars Rd, Redwood. 

But residents want the 

route changed, so it travels to 

Prestons and turns around at 

the roundabout on Te Korari St. 

Environment Canterbury 

is planning to axe the 150 

Kids day 

out in the 

red zone 

Children’s Day was held on Sunday 

in the red zone on New Brighton 

Rd. The free event had children’s 

activities including performing 

arts, crafts, demonstrations, sports, 

bouncy castles, climbing walls, 

water-walkers and face-painting. 

Several Christchurch organisations 

and the city council put the event 

together with the help of more than 

200 volunteers. 

PHOTO: MATTHEW PERCIVAL 

bus route from The Palms to 

Spencerville which travels 

through Prestons as part 

of several cutbacks across 

Christchurch. 

The 150 route is the only 

bus which goes through the 

subdivision. 

Consultation is now open for 

ECan’s 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan and the public is invited to 

make submissions. 

Prestons resident and frequent 

bus user Connor Sanders 

prepared and submitted the 

proposal to ECan and has 

received support from other 

residents who have also made 

submissions. 

He included some advantages 

and disadvantages of the reroute 

in his proposal. 

Advantages of the re-route 

would mean Prestons residents 

would be given access to areas 

such as Northlands Mall, Bishopdale, 

Avonhead, Hornby, 

Halswell and the airport. 

It would also save the cost 

of removing several bus stops, 

which were only placed a few 

months ago. 

The re-route would add 

around 5min to the total trip 

time. 

One problem with his plan is 

that the route would go through 

2.5km of rural land where there 

is no housing. 

However Mr Sanders’ 

counter-argument is that the 

125 bus already travels around 

several stretches of fields around 

Wigram and Halswell. 

“I believe many would agree 

this is a minor addition and 

would hardly affect the profitability,” 

he said.

WESTHAVEN TREE PROJECT 

The timeframe for work on a 

project in Westhaven, in which 

residents identified trees and 

infrastructure that need attention, 

has been moved out due to the 

number of trees involved and the 

mapping of the area. An update 

is expected to be given to the 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board about the project later this 

month. 

RAWHITI DOMAIN TREES 

Seven hazardous trees will be 

removed from Rawhiti Domain 

due to concerns over public 

safety. The work was scheduled 

to start last week. The pine trees, 

particularly their root systems, 

have been identified as being in 

poor condition. They are 

located close to public paths 

linking Keyes Rd and Shaw 

Ave. The city council intends to 

plant replacement trees in the 

winter. 

QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED 

The Queenspark School 

community is attempting to 

get the speed limit changed on 

Queenspark Drive to improve

by the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board, the speed 

limit will change from 50km/h to

Fitness fanatic councillors back on their bikes 

CITY COUNCILLORS Mike 

Davidson and Glenn Livingstone are 

gearing up for a cycling duel in Le 

Race on March 24, as part their 2018 

sporting three-peat. 

The two councillors have been cycling 

partners for some time and last 

year competed in Le Petit, the 50km 

shorter version of Le Race. 

This year they are hoping to lead 

by example to promote healthy living 

among Christchurch residents, by 

completing the Coast-to-Coast, Le 

Race and the Christchurch Marathon. 

“I have done Le Race before, but 

because of all this training, I am fitter 

than any previous year,” said Cr 

Davidson. 

“This year I hope to finish Le 

Race under four hours, but most 

importantly I want to smash Glenn,” 

he said. 

Cr Livingstone isn’t too concerned. 

“I just hope that I don’t embarrass 

Mike,” he said. 

Three weeks ago, both men 

completed the two-day individual 

event of the Coast-to-Coast.

Celebration of surfing 

THE THIRD annual 

week-long celebration of surfing 

in New Brighton and the visit of 

legendary Hawaiian surfer Duke 

Kahanamoku opens on Sunday. 

The Ray White New Brighton 

Duke Festival of Surfing is 

organised by the New Brighton 

Pier and Foreshore Promotion 

Society and is the largest and 

most varied surfing event in New 

Zealand. 

It celebrates Kahanamoku, 

who is said to have introduced 

surfing to New Zealand and 

surfed in New Brighton in 

1915. 

What’s happening: 

Sunday – The Boardroom 

exhibition 

The festival will launch with 

The Boardroom exhibition in 

New Brighton Mall, a display of 

more than 100 surfboards. 

The display is a time line 

exhibition of loaned surfboards 

over the past 70 years. 

It will showcase varying 

types, different designs and 

materials used, as well as 

historical displays of surfing 

photographs with a focus on 

New Brighton. 

COMPETITION: North Wai Boardriders Club’s Estella Hungerford will be a top contender in the age group events. 

Wednesday, March 14 – The 

Stoke Art Exhibition 2018 

This exhibition pulls together 

creative people who find 

common ground in surfing and 

will explore what it is about 

surfing that causes creative 

drive, whether it is a physical, 

emotional, visual, procedural or 

metaphysical response, or 

simply coincidence. It will be 

shown in Fiksate Gallery and 

will feature a range of emerging 

and established artists from 

both New Zealand and 

overseas. 

Friday, March 16 – outdoor 

movie night 

There will be two films shown 

at the New Brighton amphitheatre. 

The children’s movie is 

Disney’s Moana and the second 

is supported by the Aotearoa 

Surf Film Festival with a feature 

film Fish People and two short 

surf films. 

Friday, March 16, and 

Saturday, March 17 – surfing 

competition 

The surfing competition begins 

with the age group shortboard 

events. Surfers from around 

New Zealand and Australia 

have confirmed entries. Age 

groups include under-12 all the 

way through to under-20 and 

will feature a number of local 

surfers such as Ava Henderson, 

Estella Hungerford and Myka 

Black. Ava and Estella recently 

won their events at the Billabong 

contest in Whangamata. 

On Saturday, the longboard 

events will begin with a range of 

top competitors in all age groups 

from the open premier sections 

through to the over-40 women’s 

and over-60 men’s. 

There will also be open men’s 

and women’s logger events, 

which will provide some old 

school surfing styles with more 

traditional moves on heavier 

single-fin longboards. 

Saturday, March 17 – concert 

There will be a smorgasbord 

meal at the New Brighton Club 

followed by a rock concert 

featuring Soaked Oats, a South 

Island band with a growing 

reputation, and local band 

Run77.

Community rallies behind family 

BATTLE: Connor before being diagnosed with his brain tumour. 

(Right) – Connor in hospital while his sisters, Madden and 

Murphy, keep him company. 

•From page 1 

Mr Duncan-Caley said the 

family’s situation was like “an 

atom bomb going off.” 

The money raised from the art 

auction will help fund the costs 

required for their life going forward. 

“If there ever was a whanau 

in need of assistance, this is the 

one,” said auction organiser 

Maureen Taane. 

The auction called Jedi’s New 

Hope because of Connor’s Star 

Wars obsession will be held on 

March 23. 

“It is very much a communityled 

and community-driven event, 

as most things on the east side 

are,” she said. 

Within five days of launching 

the event, 15 pieces of art had 

already been donated. 

The auction will be held at the 

Fiksate Gallery in New Brighton 

Mall. Tickets are expected to sell 

out. Said Mr Duncan-Caley: 

“We’ve been extremely humbled 

and gobsmacked by the 

support from the community 

. . . it has really lifted us.” 

Freedom campers under fire again 

•From page 1 

South New Brighton resident 

Andy Smith shared his concerns 

about freedom campers with 

Pegasus Post. 

“They are pooing on our beach, 

they are trashing the place with 

rubbish,” he said. 

Mr Smith, who took photos of a 

tent set up near one vehicle, with 

rubbish littered around it, said he 

could smell faeces in the area. 

A 2015 city council bylaw 

requires campers to be selfcontained, 

meaning it has toilet 

facilities on-board which can be 

deposited at a discharge point. 

Freedom campers are banned 

from New Brighton’s north and 

south ramp car parks.

this summer. 

“The big issue for local residents 

is not so much that they 

are there, but the mess they 

leave behind, piles (of) domestic 

rubbish and toileting,” said Cr 

Livingstone. 

But freedom campers do have 

some support on the People’s

Gym school 

may get 

$900k grant 

• By Julia Evans 

THE $9 million Christchurch 

School of Gymnastics rebuild 

could be boosted by $900,000. 

At a meeting on Thursday, 

city councillors will be asked to 

approve the grant which would 

contribute to the cost of the site 

remediation before the school’s 

rebuild at QE II Park. 

A city council staff report said 

the funds would be allocated from 

the land sale proceeds it received 

from the Ministry of Education 

for a portion of QE II Park. The 

cost of the rebuild is estimated to 

be nearly $9 million. The school of 

gymnastics has $5.3 million available 

and has raised $487,000. 

“It is likely that the funding 

contribution from council will 

act as an additional catalyst for 

other funders to contribute to this 

rebuild project,” the report said. 

City councillors granted the 

school a new lease in September 

for 3151 sq m of land near the 

new Eastern Recreation and Sport 

Centre, which is expected to open 

this year. It had been based at QE 

II site for 21 years. 

But the building was deemed 

uneconomic to repair after sustaining 

damage in the February 

22, 2011 earthquake. 

Tracking cats to protect widlife 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

A CANTERBURY University 

student wants to track where 

house cats venture to in a bid to 

better protect Travis Wetland 

Nature Heritage Park – and she 

needs your feline’s help. 

Olivia Silvester, a masters 

student who lives near the 

wetland, is doing a six-month 

study on the adventures of 

cats living within a one block 

radius of the important native 

habitat. 

The study would involve 

attaching GPS trackers to cats 

residing in the area with harnesses, 

so where they venture to 

could be tracked. 

The Burwood freshwater wetland 

has 55 species living there, 

including 35 natives. 

The native short-fined eel, 

an indigenous skink and about 

half of Christchurch’s pukeko 

population live there, as well as 

a diverse variety of insects, birds 

and invertebrates. 

It has a moat to stop cats and 

other pests from entering, but 

some still find their way in. 

Miss Silvester said she needed 

about 30 cats to take part in 

the GPS research, and wanted 

owners to get in touch if they 

were interested in their cat being 

involved. 

The GPS trackers would need 

to be worn 24/7, she said. 

“If the cat is uncomfortable 

the harness can be taken off and 

the study stopped for that cat.” 

The study would look at 

where the cats go, how far they 

travelled and what they brought 

home with them, she said. 

“The wetlands have a large 

biodiversity of wildlife from 

insects to skinks and birds,” she 

said. 

“Alongside the harness study, 

there will be a prey retrieval 

study looking at what your cat 

brings home. It will inform us of 

the main prey items of local cats 

and we can adjust conservation 

efforts accordingly.” 

STUDY: A new 

initiative will put GPS 

trackers on cats 

living near the Travis 

Wetland Nature 

Heritage Park in a 

bid to better protect 

wildlife there, such as 

the spotless crake. 

About 100 cats were 

needed for the prey retrieval 

study. 

The owner would be required 

to note down the items their cats 

brought home, and store them in 

provided zip-lock bags. 

Miss Silvester said she would 

visit once a month, or more, to 

take the items away. 

She said the study would also

measure how effective the existing 

natural barriers were. 

Miss Silvester said she would 

be leaving information in 

letterboxes in the area this 

month to see whether anyone 

would be interested in having 

their cat involved in the study.

Temporary premises 

for Smooth-Air 

Throughout 2018, it’s business as usual 

for ventilation equipment specialists, 

Smooth-Air, as they operate from 

temporary premises at 351c Blenheim 

Road while their Annex Rd premises are 

being rebuilt. 

Due to re-open in early 2019, the 

new building will be better suited to the 

company’s needs and more efficient than 

the previous one, marketing spokesperson 

Kate Rattray says. 

“In the meantime, we will be continually 

moving onwards and upwards with 

an increased product range to service 

our commercial, trade and domestic 

customers. 

“We are also pleased to have on board 

our new national sales manager Phil 

Henderson, and new regional manager 

Richard Jack. Their focus will be on 

continuing to provide customers with 

excellent service and advice,” Kate says. 

Experts in providing quality of air for 

domestic and commercial purposes, 

Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all 

types of ventilation systems including 

ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in 

fact, anything that moves air into, out of, 

or around a building. 

While the majority of customers are 

trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to 

the public, with a range of extraction 

and ventilation systems, as well as other 

ventilation components for domestic use. 

For the domestic market, the focus is on 

cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air 

has several ventilation systems designed 

for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390 

is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic 

and commercial premises, exchanging 

fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat 

(or cooling) from the expelled air. 

Their HTU heat transfer unit is another 

popular option, transferring heat from 

log burners to other areas of the home, 

improving energy efficiency and reducing 

power consumption. 

Smooth-Air also caters for large 

commercial projects, with the capacity to 

produce substantial quantities of TD panel 

duct, as well as provide other specified 

equipment, including AirChange heat 

exchangers such as those used for the Jellie 

Park Pool. 

Their skilled workshop team builds 

ducting components, and these can be 

supplied from stock, or made to customer 

specifications. With the purchase of a 

new building in Christchurch, which is 

dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth- 

Air have recently more than doubled 

their manufacturing capacity. Along 

with their Auckland 

and Wellington 

workshops, Smooth- 

Air’s workshop floor 

space now totals nearly 

3000sqm, and of the 80 

staff nationwide, 30 are 

dedicated workshop 

staff members. 

Engineering manager 

Mike Nash oversees all 

three workshops. 

“As suppliers to 

customers in all areas of 

New Zealand, we pride 

ourselves in doing the 

job right first time.” Mike says. 

“With manufacturing capability in 

Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington 

we are able to share workload across 

locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse, 

providing a flexibility to our 

customers and reliability of supply by 

cross-utilisation of resources. 

“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide 

a one-stop solution to all our customers 

in the HVAC industry. As well as our 

manufacturing prowess, we also have the 

ability to source items from a wide range of 

suppliers both locally and internationally.” 

A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s 

head office is Christchurch, with branches 

located in Auckland and Wellington. 

Their temporary Christchurch premises 

are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just 

round the corner from their original 

Annex Rd site.

underperforming. Some of the common symptoms can be tiredness, weakness, confusion, skin spots &

eyes to name a few. Luckily liver function can generally be improved with diet, 

lifestyle changes & nutritional support.

Centuries old folk 

remedy supports 

good health! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of 

powerful health benefits. It is none other than the 

popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the 

“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been 

renowned for its curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS & 

FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis 

reports how he found that Vermonters 

who regularly consumed ACV and Honey 

had excellent health with many putting in 

a vigorous day’s work on the farm even 

when well into their eighties. He also noted 

the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting 

almost total relief after taking a course 

of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that 

the acid and potassium in cider vinegar 

counteracted calcium deposits and helped 

the body control calcium use. He also noted 

that Vermonters who consumed ACV and 

H around meal time had excellent blood 

pressure and circulation. The reason he 

found was that protein foods thickened 

the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the 

blood thickens it cannot pass as easily 

and quickly through the blood vessels and 

capillaries. This poor blood flow 

would reduce cellular health by 

limiting nutrients to the cells as 

well as waste elimination from the 

cells. To prevent cell damage the 

body naturally increases blood 

pressure but this puts more stress 

on the blood vessels, organs and 

heart. Having ACV and H with 

meals will help prevent protein 

raising the blood pressure. It also 

contributes to a feeling of greater 

well-being because the thinner 

blood circulates quickly and 

more easily through the blood 

vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular 

consumption of CV and H to be 

an excellent health tonic with 

numerous Health attributes. 

ACV SUPPORTS 

• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes 

• Energy – Vitality – Endurance 

• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites 

• Powerful antioxidant 

• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure 

• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity 

• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health 

• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux 

• Weight Loss 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all 

the goodness of the apple in a form that is 

readily accepted by the bodyGood health 

starts with good digestion and assimilation 

of nutrients. ACV taken before food will 

stimulate and promote healthy digestion 

and assimilation of vital nutrients for good 

health. A well-functioning digestive system 

helps prevent disease by neutralising any 

toxic substances that enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is 

produced in the traditional way and results 

are likely to prove disappointing with these 

other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV 

with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in 

Canterbury from Organic whole apples in 

the traditional way. It is double strength so 

you can use less.

What’s happening 

at Lady Wigram 

Retirement Village? 

It’s been a busy few years for The 

Golden Healthcare Group with their latest 

development of Lady Wigram Retirement 

Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas 

were occupied in August 2015 and now 101 

villas are completed. 

In December, the club house opened 

which provides a bowling green, hair 

dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard 

room, movie theatre and library. The Club 

House has all the trimmings, including 16 

one and two bedrooms Apartments. The 

next stage will also include a swimming 

pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments. 

When speaking with one of their 

residents about how he feels about the new 

Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is 

so excited about it opening, we have all 

been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is 

fascinated as to how the fountain works. 

He has lived in the village for the past 

few years, enjoying his new life style and 

making friends. He has also picked up new 

hobbies including learning to play mahjong, 

“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr 

Havill owned his own home for 44 years 

and in that time he maintained the house, 

painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t 

have to do that anymore, this is my place for 

the moment. Every villa is different, even 

though they look the same. But you make it 

your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this 

age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in 

but no one else can and that is an additional 

sense of security for us”. 

Owner John Tooby says “our residents 

are very involved in the continuing 

development of the village, they share our 

pride in making this a great place to live. It’s 

a real community and it continues to grow”. 

How’s your LIVER doing? 

Your liver affects how you feel, your 

mood, hormones, energy and overall 

health. In fact it carries out over 500 crucial 

functions that are vital to maintain good 

health. If your liver is under-performing as 

is the case for most of us, it means that the 

body has more toxins that could be setting 

the stage for disease. Disease can normally 

only survive if the environment is suitable. 

A well performing body will generally have 

a much better chance of staying healthy. 

Some symptoms of an underperforming 

liver can be: Fatigue, weakness, trouble 

concentrating, confusion, dark urine, dark 

circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration 

of the whites of the eyes, bloating and gas, 

dry and dark patches on the neck and 

under arms, bruising easily, constipation, 

skin spots and rashes, eczema, psoriasis, 

hormonal problems, moody and many 

more. 

The liver is the only organ in the body that 

can regenerate itself if the right conditions 

are met. In most cases the liver function can 

be improved relatively easily with diet and 

lifestyle changes and nutritional support. 

Natural herbal extracts like milk thistle, 

dandelion, globe artichoke, burdock, grape 

seed and turmeric have been shown to be 

very effective at supporting detoxification, 

digestion and liver function. These herbs 

are food for the liver and body. They 

provide the building blocks to allow the 

liver to regenerate healthy cells. All these 

ingredients are available in a high potency 

one-a-day vegie capsule. 

Fresh vegetable juices are an excellent way 

to provide the body with easily absorbed 

nutrients. They also help the liver detox the 

body and support its regeneration. 

Certain strains of probiotics have been 

shown to support healthy digestion, liver 

function and much more. A one-a-day 

comprehensive high potency probiotic 

is highly recommended to support good 

health. 

Apple cider vinegar as well as being highly 

nutritious contains beneficial enzymes that 

support healthy digestion, liver function 

and absorption of nutrients. 

As your liver function improves you will 

notice increased energy, clearer skin, less 

hormonal problems, better digestion, and 

a positive mood and sharper mind just to 

name a few. 

Further detailed information on 

how to support your liver and general 

health is available from the Natural 

Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & 

Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New 

Brighton, phone 388-5757. We are always

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Highly effective 

treatment brings 

Special offer - one treatment for 

arthritis at half price for the first 10 people 

who make an appointment before april 6. 

‘amazing’ results 

for arthritis patient 

Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort 

and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life. 

However, thanks to a highly effective treatment 

offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao, 

they can get fast, and very often immediate relief. 

Lan developed the treatment, known as 

‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes 

as being similar to reflexology in that the problem 

area on the body is determined through pressure, 

but is much more accurate. 

One client who was thrilled with the results of 

this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was 

having problems with her right hand after she overused 

it following an injury to her left hand and it 

became arthritic. 

“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and 

it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it. 

This also made it very difficult to do everyday things 

like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,” 

Corinna said. 

After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend, 

Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled 

with the results. 

“The difference after one treatment was amazing. 

My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.” 

A further six treatments followed, and Corinna 

said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was 

improving every day and things were back to 

normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was 

due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t 

think she would need any further treatment. 

“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing – 

and there were no needles involved!” 

Lan uses acupuncture without needles to treat a 

wide range of injuries and medical conditions and is 

now ACC registered. 

Dr Lan is offering one treatment for arthritis 

at half price for the first 10 people who make an 

appointment before April 6. Her clinic is located 

at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are 

Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 

5pm. 

To discuss your health issues or make an 

appointment, phone 323 4168 or 027 231 8388.

NEW RELEASES 

The Wife’s Tale 

A Personal History by Aida edermariam 

The extraordinary story of an indomitable 95-year-old woman – and of the 

most extraordinary century in Ethiopia’s history. A new Wild Swans 

A hundred years ago, a girl was born in the northern Ethiopian city of Gondar. 

Before she was ten years old, Yetemegnu was married to a man two decades 

her senior, an ambitious poet-priest. Over the next century her world changed 

beyond recognition. She witnessed Fascist invasion and occupation, Allied 

bombardment and exile from her city, the ascent and fall of Emperor Haile 

Selassie, revolution and civil war. She endured all these things alongside 

parenthood, widowhood and the death of children. 

The Wife’s Tale is an intimate memoir, both of a life and of a country. In prose 

steeped in Yetemegnu’s distinctive voice and point of view, Aida Edemariam 

retells her grandmother’s stories of a childhood surrounded by proud priests 

and soldiers, of her husband’s imprisonment, of her fight for justice – all of it 

played out against an ancient cycle of festivals and the rhythms of the seasons. 

Kill the Angel 

by Sandrone dazieri 

A high-speed train from Milan draws into the station in Rome, and an 

horrific discovery in one carriage rocks the city. Preliminary investigations 

are put in the hands of Deputy Police Commissioner Colomba Caselli. 

The police receive a message claiming responsibility for the act and 

announcing more murders to come, and they duly turn their attention 

to a small terrorist group of Islamic extremists. But investigator Dante 

Torre does not believe this angle. For him, this feels like a smokescreen 

concealing the actions of a killer who has a far more terrible motivation 

to continue. 

The trail leads to Berlin and Venice, where the waters of the Venetian 

Lagoon will turn blood red... 

Miss Burma 

by Charmaine Craig 

A beautiful and poignant story of one family during the most violent and 

turbulent years of world history, Miss Burma is a powerful novel of love and 

war, colonialism and ethnicity, and the ties of blood. Miss Burma tells the 

story of modern-day Burma through the eyes of Benny and Khin, husband 

and wife, and their daughter Louisa. After attending school in Calcutta, Benny 

settles in Rangoon, then part of the British Empire, and falls in love with Khin, 

a woman who is part of a long-persecuted ethnic minority group, the Karen. 

Benny and Khin’s eldest child, Louisa, has a danger-filled, tempestuous 

childhood and reaches prominence as Burma’s first beauty queen soon 

before the country falls to dictatorship. As Louisa navigates her newfound 

fame, she is forced to reckon with her family’s past, the West’s ongoing covert 

dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the cause of the Karen people. 

Based on the story of the author’s mother and grandparents, Miss Burma is 

a captivating portrait of how modern Burma came to be and of the ordinary 

people swept up in the struggle for self-determination and freedom. 

Chopper - From the Inside 

by Mark Brandon read 

“Apart from Irish whiskey, good cigars, Pontiac motor cars, and a pistol grip 

baby .410 shotgun with solid load shells, what I love the most is kidnapping 

smartarse gangsters and taking their money. To the human filth I have 

bashed, belted, iron barred, axed, shot, stabbed, knee capped, set on fire and 

driven to their graves, I can only quote from the motto of the French Foreign 

Legion, ‘Je Ne Regrette Rien’...I regret nothing.” Mark Brandon ‘Chopper’ 

Read is the son of a strict Seventh Day Adventist mother and a shell-shocked 

soldier who slept with a loaded gun at his side. Bullied at school, he grew 

up dreaming of revenge, determined to be the toughest and hardest of 

them all. He became a criminal legend who terrorised drug dealers, pimps, 

thieves and armed robbers on the streets and in jail - but boasts he never 

hurt an innocent member of the public. This first volume of Chopper’s 

memoirs, written from inside jail, tells the story of his early life of crime - from 

streetfighter to standover man, gunman to long-term prisoner. Chopper: From 

the Inside is laced with his trademark brutal humour, and gives us a gripping 

insight into Australia’s underworld.
