True Football Game Monster Off-Road Climbing Car Being Henry - The Fonz . . . and Beyond by Henry Winkler Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as ‘The Fonz’ in the beloved TV series Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s just really grateful to be there), Henry shares, in the achingly vulnerable memoir, the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you. Today, Henry’s revealed himself as an actor with immense depth and pathos, a departure from the period in his life when he was so distinctly typecast as The Fonz he could hardly find work. Filled with profound heart, charm and self-deprecating humour, this memoir is about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness, and of finding fulfilment within yourself. Mad on Meth How New Zealand got hooked on P by Benedict Collins Why cook at home when you can order in? Only 50 years ago, pure methamphetamine was legally prescribed in New Zealand to anyone looking for a boost. But it wasn’t long before P was rebranded as the most dangerous and destructive drug in the world - and New Zealanders cemented as among its biggest users. With dry wit and biting insight, journalist Benedict Collins takes us inside the evolution of meth in New Zealand. From ram raids for pseudoephedrine to our own cooks and gangs ‘breaking bad’, a visit to the Golden Triangle of meth production in South-East Asia, multimillion-dollar busts, and a moral panic that seeded a methtesting scandal. All set the stage for unthinkable crimes and drug-fuelled mania, but also serviced a hidden world of white-collar users - and cemented New Zealand’s reputation as among the biggest meth consumers in the world. How did tough on crime become dumb on drugs? And what does a solution to Pure addiction look like? A Head Full of Music The soundtrack to my life by Cliff Richard Foreword by Bob Stanley On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped him in his tracks. The song was ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since. Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first life-changing explosion of rock This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The 30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have each moved him deeply, but it’s also about the legendary artists he met, and often got to know. This book is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it’s a joy to accompany him on it.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Medical centre work an ‘expected challenge’ WE ARE ON THE MOVE AGAIN... • By Dylan Smits GROUNDWORK has started for upgrades to the Diamond Harbour Medical Centre, with the help of volunteers. Thanks to a $50,000 grant from the city council, the centre has reached 93 per cent of its funding goal and can start preparing for construction work. Volunteers have been busy installing a shed for construction work and starting to fell the large trees on site, but major construction is unlikely to start until the new year due to the timing of the funding milestone, said centre health support group president Gay Pavelka. This is due to health and safety concerns for the attendees at the nearby community hall holiday events. Pavelka said construction also has to work around opening hours of the medical centre itself. “It’s an expected challenge and we can work around it.” The medical centre is now more than 30 years old and needs upgrading to meet the needs of the aging community. The clinic currently serves an older demographic with 22 per cent over 65, and 60 per cent aged between 40 and 50. Pavelka said the building lacks many of the features required of a modern medical facility. “These deficiencies were TO A NEW LOCATION IN FERRYMEAD, DUE TO EARTHQUAKE REPAIRS sharply illuminated by the Covid-19 pandemic.” The main purpose of the upgrade is to create more space for doctors and nurses to conduct their practice. The upgrades include new nurses rooms and a staff room. “We’ve only got one doctors room at the moment and there’s a shortage of space for nurses to work. There’s a pretty dreadful shortage,” said Pavelka. Pavelka is also thankful for support from local organisations ALMOST THERE: The Diamond Harbour Medical Centre has reached 93 per cent of its $670,000 goal needed to upgrade the facility. its $670,000 total funding goal. “We are immensely thankful to those that have seen the vision and got right in behind supporting the hard work our committee and support partners are putting in,” said Pavelka. The centre has received $80,000 from the Hugo Charitable Trust, $30,000 from the Maurice Carter Charitable Trust, $25,000 from the Lyttelton Port Company and $20,000 from the Rata Foundation. While construction can now begin, the centre still needs to raise an additional $50,000 to fund the entire upgrade. • Donations can be made at givealittle.co.nz/cause/ our-community-providinga-foundation WATCH THIS SPACE which is helping the centre reach Wednesday December 13 2023 Bay Harbour News NEWS 7 Talk on preparing for tsunamis • By Dylan Smits TSUNAMI preparedness talks will be held tonight in Sumner. Civil Defence emergency management will give a presentation on the science behind tsunamis and what to do in an evacuation. Community resilience co-ordinator Sarah Cornall Sarah Cornall will lead the presentation at the Matuku Takotako Sumner Centre from 7-8pm, followed by audience questions. The talk is hosted by the Sumner Residents’ Association. Information will be provided on how to check if you live in an evacuation risk zone, with the Redcliffs Residents’ Association in attendance to help people navigate the evacuation risk map found online. Association secretary Pat McIntosh said she wants to use the event to help Redcliffs residents identify exactly what zone they are in. “We want to be able to give all the right advice to people individually,” she said. Evacuation risk zones are separated into red, orange and yellow categories. The red zone is the area most likely to be affected by a tsunami, but mostly covers rivers, estuaries and the ocean itself. Most residential areas on the coast are in the orange evacuation zone. This includes Sumner, Redcliffs and other nearby coastal areas. Civil Defence advice is to leave this zone immediately if you experience a long or strong earthquake, see sudden sea level changes or receive an official warning from civil defence in person or through text. Sumner Residents’ Association and Hub co-ordinator Charlie Hudson said the association is eager to help spread awareness of tsunami risk in the area. “There’s been a lot of a bigger emphasis on preparedness over the past couple of years. We are really aware of our vulnerabilities.” • You can check risk zones at https://www. ccc.govt.nz/services/civildefence/hazards/tsunamievacuation-zones-androutes from the doctors and staff at Ferrymead Medical Centre If you would lIke advIce and treatment wIth: If you would lIke advIce and treatment wIth: arlotte We will keep you informed as to our new address.
