The Duncan-Caley’s son<br />
Connor, 8, was diagnosed with<br />
a brain tumour in June last year,<br />
which then caused him to develop<br />
<strong>Post</strong>erior Fossa Syndrome,<br />
leaving him unable to blink,<br />
swallow, move or talk.<br />
He has undergone several operations,<br />
weeks of radiation, and<br />
Parklands Lotto & <strong>Post</strong><br />
four months of chemotherapy.<br />
On top of that Connor’s father<br />
Mark Duncan-Caley lost his job<br />
when the company he worked<br />
for went into liquidation, and the<br />
earthquake-damaged house they<br />
bought as an ‘as is where is’ is<br />
now subject to insurance issues.<br />
So the community has rallied<br />
around to help them out with a<br />
fundraising art auction.<br />
Connor and his parents are<br />
currently living at the Wilson<br />
Centre in Auckland, which<br />
provides a rehabilitation service<br />
for children.<br />

Freedom<br />
campers<br />
come<br />
under<br />
fire again<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE SPOTLIGHT is going on<br />
freedom campers parking up<br />
from North Beach to South New<br />
Brighton.<br />
Forty complaints about their<br />
activities were made to the city<br />
council between October and<br />
late February.<br />
More than 300 comments<br />
were posted on the People’s<br />
Independent Republic of<br />
New Brighton Facebook page<br />
debating the freedom camping<br />
issue.<br />
A North New Brighton<br />
resident, who only wanted to be<br />
named as Nicky, was outraged<br />
when she saw a freedom camper<br />
washing her underwear in a<br />
drinking fountain in the North<br />
Beach car park on February 24.<br />
In spite of being asked to stop<br />
by Nicky and another woman,<br />
the freedom camper continued.<br />
“I told her, we don’t like this,<br />
this is disgusting, kids drink<br />
out of this including mine,<br />
can you please go and do it in<br />
the changing rooms, this is a<br />
drinking fountain, but she just<br />
shrugged it off . . . I just found it<br />
really unhygenic.”<br />

IF EVER a family deserved a stroke of<br />
good luck it is the Duncan Caley’s.<br />
On page 1 today, we highlight their<br />
plight – a terribly ill child, dad’s out of<br />
work and the house they bought<br />
post-quake has major insurance issues.<br />
Most of us have had quake insurance problems, but add on<br />
the sick child and losing your job and it makes it one tough<br />
mountain to climb – just to get to the start line.<br />
So the community is rallying around to do what they can,<br />
and a fundraising art auction will be held this month.<br />
Event organiser Maureen Taane sums it up: “If there ever<br />
was a whanau in need of assistance, this is the one.”<br />

Bid to keep Prestons bus route<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
PRESTONS subdivision<br />
residents have come up with a<br />
plan to keep their bus service.<br />
They want to reroute the 125<br />
bus which travels from Redwood<br />
to Westlake and Halswell.<br />
The bus currently turns<br />
around in Farquhars Rd, Redwood.<br />
But residents want the<br />
route changed, so it travels to<br />
Prestons and turns around at<br />
the roundabout on Te Korari St.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
is planning to axe the 150<br />
Kids day<br />
out in the<br />
red zone<br />
Children’s Day was held on Sunday<br />
in the red zone on New Brighton<br />
Rd. The free event had children’s<br />
activities including performing<br />
arts, crafts, demonstrations, sports,<br />
bouncy castles, climbing walls,<br />
water-walkers and face-painting.<br />
Several Christchurch organisations<br />
and the city council put the event<br />
together with the help of more than<br />
200 volunteers.<br />
PHOTO: MATTHEW PERCIVAL<br />
bus route from The Palms to<br />
Spencerville which travels<br />
through Prestons as part<br />
of several cutbacks across<br />
Christchurch.<br />
The 150 route is the only<br />
bus which goes through the<br />
subdivision.<br />
Consultation is now open for<br />
ECan’s <strong>2018</strong>-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan and the public is invited to<br />
make submissions.<br />
Prestons resident and frequent<br />
bus user Connor Sanders<br />
prepared and submitted the<br />
proposal to ECan and has<br />
received support from other<br />
residents who have also made<br />
submissions.<br />
He included some advantages<br />
and disadvantages of the reroute<br />
in his proposal.<br />
Advantages of the re-route<br />
would mean Prestons residents<br />
would be given access to areas<br />
such as Northlands Mall, Bishopdale,<br />
Avonhead, Hornby,<br />
Halswell and the airport.<br />
It would also save the cost<br />
of removing several bus stops,<br />
which were only placed a few<br />
months ago.<br />
The re-route would add<br />
around 5min to the total trip<br />
time.<br />
One problem with his plan is<br />
that the route would go through<br />
2.5km of rural land where there<br />
is no housing.<br />
However Mr Sanders’<br />
counter-argument is that the<br />
125 bus already travels around<br />
several stretches of fields around<br />
Wigram and Halswell.<br />
“I believe many would agree<br />
this is a minor addition and<br />
would hardly affect the profitability,”<br />
he said.<br />

In Brief<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
WESTHAVEN TREE PROJECT<br />
The timeframe for work on a<br />
project in Westhaven, in which<br />
residents identified trees and<br />
infrastructure that need attention,<br />
has been moved out due to the<br />
number of trees involved and the<br />
mapping of the area. An update<br />
is expected to be given to the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board about the project later this<br />
month.<br />
RAWHITI DOMAIN TREES<br />
Seven hazardous trees will be<br />
removed from Rawhiti Domain<br />
due to concerns over public<br />
safety. The work was scheduled<br />
to start last week. The pine trees,<br />
particularly their root systems,<br />
have been identified as being in<br />
poor condition. They are<br />
located close to public paths<br />
linking Keyes Rd and Shaw<br />
Ave. The city council intends to<br />
plant replacement trees in the<br />
winter.<br />
QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED<br />
The Queenspark School<br />
community is attempting to<br />
get the speed limit changed on<br />
Queenspark Drive to improve<br />
safety in the area during peak<br />
school travel times. If approved<br />
by the Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board, the speed<br />
limit will change from 50km/h to<br />
40km/h.<br />

Davidson and Glenn Livingstone are<br />
gearing up for a cycling duel in Le<br />
Race on <strong>March</strong> 24, as part their <strong>2018</strong><br />

The two councillors have been cycling<br />
partners for some time and last<br />
year competed in Le Petit, the 50km<br />
shorter version of Le Race.<br />
This year they are hoping to lead<br />
by example to promote healthy living<br />
among Christchurch residents, by<br />
completing the Coast-to-Coast, Le<br />
Race and the Christchurch Marathon.<br />
“I have done Le Race before, but<br />
because of all this training, I am fitter<br />
than any previous year,” said Cr<br />
Davidson.<br />
“This year I hope to finish Le<br />
Race under four hours, but most<br />
importantly I want to smash Glenn,”<br />
he said.<br />
Cr Livingstone isn’t too concerned.<br />
“I just hope that I don’t embarrass<br />
Mike,” he said.<br />

creative people who find<br />
common ground in surfing and<br />
will explore what it is about<br />
surfing that causes creative<br />
drive, whether it is a physical,<br />
emotional, visual, procedural or<br />
metaphysical response, or<br />
simply coincidence. It will be<br />
shown in Fiksate Gallery and<br />

and established artists from<br />

The money raised from the art<br />
auction will help fund the costs<br />
required for their life going forward.<br />

Maureen Taane.<br />
The auction called Jedi’s New<br />

“It is very much a communityled<br />

Within five days of launching<br />

Freedom campers under fire again<br />
•From page 1<br />
South New Brighton resident<br />
Andy Smith shared his concerns<br />
about freedom campers with<br />
<strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong>.<br />
“They are pooing on our beach,<br />
they are trashing the place with<br />
rubbish,” he said.<br />
Mr Smith, who took photos of a<br />
tent set up near one vehicle, with<br />
rubbish littered around it, said he<br />
could smell faeces in the area.<br />
A 2015 city council bylaw<br />
requires campers to be selfcontained,<br />
meaning it has toilet<br />
facilities on-board which can be<br />
deposited at a discharge point.<br />
Freedom campers are banned<br />
from New Brighton’s north and<br />
south ramp car parks.<br />

Gym school<br />
may get<br />
$900k grant<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THE $9 million Christchurch<br />
School of Gymnastics rebuild<br />
could be boosted by $900,000.<br />
At a meeting on Thursday,<br />
city councillors will be asked to<br />
approve the grant which would<br />
contribute to the cost of the site<br />
remediation before the school’s<br />
rebuild at QE II Park.<br />
A city council staff report said<br />
the funds would be allocated from<br />
the land sale proceeds it received<br />
from the Ministry of Education<br />
for a portion of QE II Park. The<br />
cost of the rebuild is estimated to<br />
be nearly $9 million. The school of<br />
gymnastics has $5.3 million available<br />
and has raised $487,000.<br />
“It is likely that the funding<br />
contribution from council will<br />
act as an additional catalyst for<br />
other funders to contribute to this<br />
rebuild project,” the report said.<br />
City councillors granted the<br />

Tracking cats to protect widlife<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
A CANTERBURY University<br />
student wants to track where<br />
house cats venture to in a bid to<br />
better protect Travis Wetland<br />
Nature Heritage Park – and she<br />
needs your feline’s help.<br />
Olivia Silvester, a masters<br />
student who lives near the<br />
wetland, is doing a six-month<br />
study on the adventures of<br />
cats living within a one block<br />
radius of the important native<br />
habitat.<br />
The study would involve<br />
attaching GPS trackers to cats<br />
residing in the area with harnesses,<br />
so where they venture to<br />
could be tracked.<br />
The Burwood freshwater wetland<br />
has 55 species living there,<br />
including 35 natives.<br />
The native short-fined eel,<br />
an indigenous skink and about<br />
half of Christchurch’s pukeko<br />
population live there, as well as<br />
a diverse variety of insects, birds<br />
and invertebrates.<br />
It has a moat to stop cats and<br />
other pests from entering, but<br />
some still find their way in.<br />
Miss Silvester said she needed<br />
about 30 cats to take part in<br />
the GPS research, and wanted<br />
owners to get in touch if they<br />
were interested in their cat being<br />
involved.<br />
The GPS trackers would need<br />
to be worn 24/7, she said.<br />
“If the cat is uncomfortable<br />
the harness can be taken off and<br />
the study stopped for that cat.”<br />
The study would look at<br />
where the cats go, how far they<br />
travelled and what they brought<br />
home with them, she said.<br />
“The wetlands have a large<br />
biodiversity of wildlife from<br />
insects to skinks and birds,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Alongside the harness study,<br />
there will be a prey retrieval<br />
study looking at what your cat<br />
brings home. It will inform us of<br />
the main prey items of local cats<br />
and we can adjust conservation<br />
efforts accordingly.”<br />
STUDY: A new<br />
initiative will put GPS<br />
trackers on cats<br />
living near the Travis<br />
Wetland Nature<br />
Heritage Park in a<br />
bid to better protect<br />
wildlife there, such as<br />
the spotless crake.<br />
About 100 cats were<br />
needed for the prey retrieval<br />
study.<br />
The owner would be required<br />
to note down the items their cats<br />
brought home, and store them in<br />
provided zip-lock bags.<br />
Miss Silvester said she would<br />
visit once a month, or more, to<br />
take the items away.<br />
She said the study would also<br />

would be interested in having<br />
their cat involved in the study.<br />

Temporary premises<br />
for Smooth-Air<br />
Throughout <strong>2018</strong>, it’s business as usual<br />
for ventilation equipment specialists,<br />
Smooth-Air, as they operate from<br />
temporary premises at 351c Blenheim<br />
Road while their Annex Rd premises are<br />
being rebuilt.<br />
Due to re-open in early 2019, the<br />
new building will be better suited to the<br />
company’s needs and more efficient than<br />
the previous one, marketing spokesperson<br />
Kate Rattray says.<br />
“In the meantime, we will be continually<br />
moving onwards and upwards with<br />
an increased product range to service<br />
our commercial, trade and domestic<br />
customers.<br />
“We are also pleased to have on board<br />
our new national sales manager Phil<br />
Henderson, and new regional manager<br />
Richard Jack. Their focus will be on<br />
continuing to provide customers with<br />
excellent service and advice,” Kate says.<br />
Experts in providing quality of air for<br />
domestic and commercial purposes,<br />
Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all<br />
types of ventilation systems including<br />
ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in<br />
fact, anything that moves air into, out of,<br />
or around a building.<br />
While the majority of customers are<br />
trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to<br />
the public, with a range of extraction<br />
and ventilation systems, as well as other<br />
ventilation components for domestic use.<br />
For the domestic market, the focus is on<br />
cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air<br />
has several ventilation systems designed<br />
for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390<br />
is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic<br />
and commercial premises, exchanging<br />
fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat<br />
(or cooling) from the expelled air.<br />
Their HTU heat transfer unit is another<br />
popular option, transferring heat from<br />
log burners to other areas of the home,<br />
improving energy efficiency and reducing<br />
power consumption.<br />
Smooth-Air also caters for large<br />
commercial projects, with the capacity to<br />
produce substantial quantities of TD panel<br />
duct, as well as provide other specified<br />
equipment, including AirChange heat<br />
exchangers such as those used for the Jellie<br />
Park Pool.<br />
Their skilled workshop team builds<br />
ducting components, and these can be<br />
supplied from stock, or made to customer<br />
specifications. With the purchase of a<br />
new building in Christchurch, which is<br />
dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth-<br />
Air have recently more than doubled<br />
their manufacturing capacity. Along<br />
with their Auckland<br />
and Wellington<br />
workshops, Smooth-<br />
Air’s workshop floor<br />
space now totals nearly<br />
3000sqm, and of the 80<br />
staff nationwide, 30 are<br />
dedicated workshop<br />
staff members.<br />
Engineering manager<br />
Mike Nash oversees all<br />
three workshops.<br />
“As suppliers to<br />
customers in all areas of<br />
New Zealand, we pride<br />
ourselves in doing the<br />
job right first time.” Mike says.<br />
“With manufacturing capability in<br />
Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington<br />
we are able to share workload across<br />
locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse,<br />
providing a flexibility to our<br />
customers and reliability of supply by<br />
cross-utilisation of resources.<br />
“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide<br />
a one-stop solution to all our customers<br />
in the HVAC industry. As well as our<br />
manufacturing prowess, we also have the<br />
ability to source items from a wide range of<br />
suppliers both locally and internationally.”<br />
A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s<br />
head office is Christchurch, with branches<br />
located in Auckland and Wellington.<br />
Their temporary Christchurch premises<br />
are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just<br />
round the corner from their original<br />
Annex Rd site.<br />

Your liver affects your hormones, mood, energy, & overall health. Unfortunately for most of us the liver is<br />
underperforming. Some of the common symptoms can be tiredness, weakness, confusion, skin spots &<br />
lumps, rashes, hormonal in-balance, dark circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration of the whites of the<br />
eyes to name a few. Luckily liver function can generally be improved with diet,<br />
lifestyle changes & nutritional support.<br />

Centuries old folk<br />
remedy supports<br />
good health!<br />
A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array of<br />
powerful health benefits. It is none other than the<br />
popular apple cider vinegar or ACV.<br />
Since the time of Hippocrates – the<br />
“Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />
renowned for its curative properties.<br />
In his popular book “ARTHRITIS &<br />
FOLK MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis<br />
reports how he found that Vermonters<br />
who regularly consumed ACV and Honey<br />
had excellent health with many putting in<br />
a vigorous day’s work on the farm even<br />
when well into their eighties. He also noted<br />
the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be<br />
remarkable with many patients reporting<br />
almost total relief after taking a course<br />
of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />
counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />
the body control calcium use. He also noted<br />
that Vermonters who consumed ACV and<br />
H around meal time had excellent blood<br />
pressure and circulation. The reason he<br />
found was that protein foods thickened<br />
the blood and vinegar thinned it. As the<br />
blood thickens it cannot pass as easily<br />
and quickly through the blood vessels and<br />
capillaries. This poor blood flow<br />
would reduce cellular health by<br />
limiting nutrients to the cells as<br />
well as waste elimination from the<br />
cells. To prevent cell damage the<br />
body naturally increases blood<br />
pressure but this puts more stress<br />
on the blood vessels, organs and<br />
heart. Having ACV and H with<br />
meals will help prevent protein<br />
raising the blood pressure. It also<br />
contributes to a feeling of greater<br />
well-being because the thinner<br />
blood circulates quickly and<br />
more easily through the blood<br />
vessels. Dr. Jarvis found regular<br />
consumption of CV and H to be<br />
an excellent health tonic with<br />
numerous Health attributes.<br />
ACV SUPPORTS<br />
• Healthy digestion, assimilation of nutrients, elimination of wastes<br />
• Energy – Vitality – Endurance<br />
• Elimination of viruses, bacteria, fungus & parasites<br />
• Powerful antioxidant<br />
• Cardiovascular health, blood flow & healthy blood pressure<br />
• Diabetes – improves insulin sensitivity<br />
• Arthritis & joint support • Longevity & improved health<br />
• Settles the stomach & reduces reflux<br />
• Weight Loss<br />
ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />
the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />
readily accepted by the bodyGood health<br />
starts with good digestion and assimilation<br />
of nutrients. ACV taken before food will<br />
stimulate and promote healthy digestion<br />
and assimilation of vital nutrients for good<br />
health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />
helps prevent disease by neutralising any<br />
toxic substances that enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all ACV is<br />
produced in the traditional way and results<br />
are likely to prove disappointing with these<br />
other vinegars.<br />
Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV<br />
with 20% Manuka Honey is produced in<br />
Canterbury from Organic whole apples in<br />
the traditional way. It is double strength so<br />
you can use less.<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />
What’s happening<br />
at Lady Wigram<br />
Retirement Village?<br />
It’s been a busy few years for The<br />
Golden Healthcare Group with their latest<br />
development of Lady Wigram Retirement<br />
Village on Kittyhawk Road. The first villas<br />
were occupied in August 2015 and now 101<br />
villas are completed.<br />
In December, the club house opened<br />
which provides a bowling green, hair<br />
dressing salon, restaurant and bar, billiard<br />
room, movie theatre and library. The Club<br />
House has all the trimmings, including 16<br />
one and two bedrooms Apartments. The<br />
next stage will also include a swimming<br />
pool, gym and a further 14 Apartments.<br />
When speaking with one of their<br />
residents about how he feels about the new<br />
Club house, Mr Havill said “everyone is<br />
so excited about it opening, we have all<br />
been watching it very closely’. Mr Havill is<br />
fascinated as to how the fountain works.<br />
He has lived in the village for the past<br />
few years, enjoying his new life style and<br />
making friends. He has also picked up new<br />
hobbies including learning to play mahjong,<br />
“I love it, I had never played in my life”. Mr<br />
Havill owned his own home for 44 years<br />
and in that time he maintained the house,<br />
painted it, did this... did that. “We don’t<br />
have to do that anymore, this is my place for<br />
the moment. Every villa is different, even<br />
though they look the same. But you make it<br />
your own”. One thing Mr Havill likes at this<br />
age is “the gates shut at night, we can get in<br />
but no one else can and that is an additional<br />
sense of security for us”.<br />
Owner John Tooby says “our residents<br />
are very involved in the continuing<br />
development of the village, they share our<br />
pride in making this a great place to live. It’s<br />
a real community and it continues to grow”.<br />
How’s your LIVER doing?<br />
Your liver affects how you feel, your<br />
mood, hormones, energy and overall<br />
health. In fact it carries out over 500 crucial<br />
functions that are vital to maintain good<br />
health. If your liver is under-performing as<br />
is the case for most of us, it means that the<br />
body has more toxins that could be setting<br />
the stage for disease. Disease can normally<br />
only survive if the environment is suitable.<br />
A well performing body will generally have<br />
a much better chance of staying healthy.<br />
Some symptoms of an underperforming<br />
liver can be: Fatigue, weakness, trouble<br />
concentrating, confusion, dark urine, dark<br />
circles under the eyes, yellow discoloration<br />
of the whites of the eyes, bloating and gas,<br />
dry and dark patches on the neck and<br />
under arms, bruising easily, constipation,<br />
skin spots and rashes, eczema, psoriasis,<br />
hormonal problems, moody and many<br />
more.<br />
The liver is the only organ in the body that<br />
can regenerate itself if the right conditions<br />
are met. In most cases the liver function can<br />
be improved relatively easily with diet and<br />
lifestyle changes and nutritional support.<br />
Natural herbal extracts like milk thistle,<br />
dandelion, globe artichoke, burdock, grape<br />
seed and turmeric have been shown to be<br />
very effective at supporting detoxification,<br />
digestion and liver function. These herbs<br />
are food for the liver and body. They<br />
provide the building blocks to allow the<br />
liver to regenerate healthy cells. All these<br />
ingredients are available in a high potency<br />
one-a-day vegie capsule.<br />
Fresh vegetable juices are an excellent way<br />
to provide the body with easily absorbed<br />
nutrients. They also help the liver detox the<br />
body and support its regeneration.<br />
Certain strains of probiotics have been<br />
shown to support healthy digestion, liver<br />
function and much more. A one-a-day<br />
comprehensive high potency probiotic<br />
is highly recommended to support good<br />
health.<br />
Apple cider vinegar as well as being highly<br />
nutritious contains beneficial enzymes that<br />
support healthy digestion, liver function<br />
and absorption of nutrients.<br />
As your liver function improves you will<br />
notice increased energy, clearer skin, less<br />
hormonal problems, better digestion, and<br />
a positive mood and sharper mind just to<br />
name a few.<br />
Further detailed information on<br />
how to support your liver and general<br />
health is available from the Natural<br />
Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health &<br />

Highly effective<br />
treatment brings<br />
Special offer - one treatment for<br />
arthritis at half price for the first 10 people<br />
who make an appointment before april 6.<br />
‘amazing’ results<br />
for arthritis patient<br />
Anyone that suffers from arthritis will know the pain, discomfort<br />
and sheer inconvenience this can cause in day-to-day life.<br />
However, thanks to a highly effective treatment<br />
offered by Chinese health practitioner Dr Lan Xiao,<br />
they can get fast, and very often immediate relief.<br />
Lan developed the treatment, known as<br />
‘acupuncture without needles’, which she describes<br />
as being similar to reflexology in that the problem<br />
area on the body is determined through pressure,<br />
but is much more accurate.<br />
One client who was thrilled with the results of<br />
this treatment, is Corinna Cornelius. Corinna was<br />
having problems with her right hand after she overused<br />
it following an injury to her left hand and it<br />
became arthritic.<br />
“I couldn’t close my hand up and make a fist, and<br />
it was also very painful, especially if I knocked it.<br />
This also made it very difficult to do everyday things<br />
like picking up a cup of tea or cleaning my teeth,”<br />
Corinna said.<br />
After hearing about Lan’s treatment from a friend,<br />
Corinna decided to give it a try, and was thrilled<br />
with the results.<br />
“The difference after one treatment was amazing.<br />
My hand wasn’t painful and I could make a fist.”<br />
A further six treatments followed, and Corinna<br />
said while her hand was still slightly stiff, it was<br />
improving every day and things were back to<br />
normal. Following a holiday in Australia, she was<br />
due to go back to Lan for a check-up, but didn’t<br />
think she would need any further treatment.<br />
“I love her skills. What she did was just amazing –<br />
and there were no needles involved!”<br />
Lan uses acupuncture without needles to treat a<br />
wide range of injuries and medical conditions and is<br />
now ACC registered.<br />
Dr Lan is offering one treatment for arthritis<br />
at half price for the first 10 people who make an<br />
appointment before April 6. Her clinic is located<br />
at 108 Sawyers Arms Road, and her hours are<br />
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to<br />
5pm.<br />

JUST UNLOADED<br />
NEW RELEASES<br />
The Wife’s Tale<br />
A Personal History by Aida edermariam<br />
The extraordinary story of an indomitable 95-year-old woman – and of the<br />
most extraordinary century in Ethiopia’s history. A new Wild Swans<br />
A hundred years ago, a girl was born in the northern Ethiopian city of Gondar.<br />
Before she was ten years old, Yetemegnu was married to a man two decades<br />
her senior, an ambitious poet-priest. Over the next century her world changed<br />
beyond recognition. She witnessed Fascist invasion and occupation, Allied<br />
bombardment and exile from her city, the ascent and fall of Emperor Haile<br />
Selassie, revolution and civil war. She endured all these things alongside<br />
parenthood, widowhood and the death of children.<br />
The Wife’s Tale is an intimate memoir, both of a life and of a country. In prose<br />
steeped in Yetemegnu’s distinctive voice and point of view, Aida Edemariam<br />
retells her grandmother’s stories of a childhood surrounded by proud priests<br />
and soldiers, of her husband’s imprisonment, of her fight for justice – all of it<br />
played out against an ancient cycle of festivals and the rhythms of the seasons.<br />
Kill the Angel<br />
by Sandrone dazieri<br />
A high-speed train from Milan draws into the station in Rome, and an<br />
horrific discovery in one carriage rocks the city. Preliminary investigations<br />
are put in the hands of Deputy Police Commissioner Colomba Caselli.<br />
The police receive a message claiming responsibility for the act and<br />
announcing more murders to come, and they duly turn their attention<br />
to a small terrorist group of Islamic extremists. But investigator Dante<br />
Torre does not believe this angle. For him, this feels like a smokescreen<br />
concealing the actions of a killer who has a far more terrible motivation<br />
to continue.<br />
The trail leads to Berlin and Venice, where the waters of the Venetian<br />
Lagoon will turn blood red...<br />
Miss Burma<br />
by Charmaine Craig<br />
A beautiful and poignant story of one family during the most violent and<br />
turbulent years of world history, Miss Burma is a powerful novel of love and<br />
war, colonialism and ethnicity, and the ties of blood. Miss Burma tells the<br />
story of modern-day Burma through the eyes of Benny and Khin, husband<br />
and wife, and their daughter Louisa. After attending school in Calcutta, Benny<br />
settles in Rangoon, then part of the British Empire, and falls in love with Khin,<br />
a woman who is part of a long-persecuted ethnic minority group, the Karen.<br />
Benny and Khin’s eldest child, Louisa, has a danger-filled, tempestuous<br />
childhood and reaches prominence as Burma’s first beauty queen soon<br />
before the country falls to dictatorship. As Louisa navigates her newfound<br />
fame, she is forced to reckon with her family’s past, the West’s ongoing covert<br />
dealings in her country, and her own loyalty to the cause of the Karen people.<br />
Based on the story of the author’s mother and grandparents, Miss Burma is<br />
a captivating portrait of how modern Burma came to be and of the ordinary<br />
people swept up in the struggle for self-determination and freedom.<br />
Chopper - From the Inside<br />
by Mark Brandon read<br />
“Apart from Irish whiskey, good cigars, Pontiac motor cars, and a pistol grip<br />
baby .410 shotgun with solid load shells, what I love the most is kidnapping<br />
smartarse gangsters and taking their money. To the human filth I have<br />
bashed, belted, iron barred, axed, shot, stabbed, knee capped, set on fire and<br />
driven to their graves, I can only quote from the motto of the French Foreign<br />
Legion, ‘Je Ne Regrette Rien’...I regret nothing.” Mark Brandon ‘Chopper’<br />
Read is the son of a strict Seventh Day Adventist mother and a shell-shocked<br />
soldier who slept with a loaded gun at his side. Bullied at school, he grew<br />
up dreaming of revenge, determined to be the toughest and hardest of<br />
them all. He became a criminal legend who terrorised drug dealers, pimps,<br />
thieves and armed robbers on the streets and in jail - but boasts he never<br />
hurt an innocent member of the public. This first volume of Chopper’s<br />
memoirs, written from inside jail, tells the story of his early life of crime - from<br />
streetfighter to standover man, gunman to long-term prisoner. Chopper: From<br />
the Inside is laced with his trademark brutal humour, and gives us a gripping<br />
insight into Australia’s underworld.<br />
