OCTOBER 2020 Published at 47 Wickliffe Tce, Port Chalmers Bago’S Bakehouse and Kebabs on George Street Number 338 OCTOBER 2020 Published at 47 Wickliffe Tce, Port Chalmers Bago’s Bakehouse and Kebabs on George Street Since 1886 there has been a food establishment at 7 George St Port Chalmers. With the recent closure of the Cottage Bakehouse after 19 years on the site, the loss of the bakery was felt by many. Locals Des Wall from Careys Bay and Katrina Hudson from Port Chalmers were talking one night about the bakery closing and decided to put their range of skills together and look into opening something in the former Cottage Bake- house. After speaking with the building owner they were pleased to secure a lease, and as the location had been stripped of all fittings they contacted local Gordon, who has a commercial furniture business and were lucky to get a new counter, pie warmer, tables and chairs for a good price. After doing food han- dling and getting certification from the Dunedin City Council they were set to go, Des behind the counter at Bago’s and Bago’s Bakehouse and Kebabs was up and running in late August. Their menu consists of sandwiches made fresh onsite everyday, sausage rolls and pies including Kaipai Pies from Wanaka that have a variety of fillings and their other popular item are kebabs that are made fresh as ordered. They also have Couplands slices and other biscuits available and they serve tea as well as coffee using premium Halo coffee beans supplied by Coca Cola. Des tells the Rothesay News that Coca Cola have been very generous and supplied the drinks fridge, the Covid screen and the outdoor flag. Both Katrina and Des are excited about their new venture and are pleased they have been well supported by local workers, pass- ing truckies as well as people visiting Port Chalmers. Their hours are 9am – 2pm, Monday to Friday and 10am – 1pm on Saturday. They also have a kebab late night on Thursday 5pm – 8pm. If you’re wondering about the name, Bago’s, it originated in Texas and was the name of the bakery owned by Des’s grandfather after returning from the war. Bago’s has now been reborn in Port Chalmers… over 12,000km from Texas.

Ange McErlane Dusting Off Pg. 16 2 The Rothesay News October 2020 Harbour Physio Matters: Frozen Shoulder Part 1 Adhesive capsulitis, otherwise known as ‘Frozen shoulder’, can be a frustrating process that affects up to 5% of the population. It is characterised by a pain and progressive loss of mobility within the shoulder joint. It may be related to trauma, such as post operatively, immobilisation or fracture. However it may also de- velop for no reason, with no injury related to the cause. There are several risk factors for the development of frozen shoulder from an insidious onset. Diabetes has been linked to being a significantly higher risk factor, that can also increase the severity and the risk of recurrence. Other risk factors include having autoimmune disorders (including diabetes and thyroid disorders), dyslipidaemia (unhealthy levels of fat in the blood), hypertension and cardio- vascular disease, increasing age and being female. The presentation of frozen shoulder from either trauma related or from an insidious onset present the same. Symptoms may be so severe that shoulder mobility can be completely restricted, and activities of daily living are negatively affected for a signifi- cant time frame. Recovery often takes years, with an average of 18-30 months with some individuals never fully regaining full shoulder mobility. For more information about the stages of frozen shoulder and treatment options tune in next month, otherwise speak to your physiotherapist.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.

  • Port Chalmers Breccia: Geology Building Site 7: Campus Geosites @ Otago
    DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND Port Chalmers Breccia: Geology Building Site 7: Campus Geosites @ Otago Location: In the quadrangle in front of the Geology Building (west side of building). Learning outcome: Understand and describe some key features of volcanic breccia. Interpret the formation of fragmented rocks. Keywords: Breccia; Clasts; Matrix; Volcano Figure 1: Front façade of the Geology Building showing Port Chalmers breccia that makes up the stairs and the lower part of the front wall (underneath the light colored Oamaru Limestone.). The letters refer to the individual clasts shown in Figure 3. Page 1 of 6 www.otago.ac.nz/geology DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OTAGO, NEW ZEALAND Breccia is a rock composed of broken fragments (“clasts”) held together by a finer-grained matrix. The Port Chalmers Breccia is a volcanic unit found around the town of Port Chalmers near the centre of the 16–11 million year old Dunedin Volcano. The Port Chalmers Breccia contains fragments of a wide range of rock types, from volcanic rocks (basalt-trachyte) to plutonic rocks (gabbro-syenite), as well as sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Individual clasts range in size from 1–20 cm. The matrix is mostly composed of similar rock fragments <<1cm in size. The Port Chalmers Breccia was used extensively as a building stone during early settlers times because it is relatively easy to cut and could be extracted locally. Exercises 1) Refer to the Port Chalmers Breccia exposures shown in Figure 1. Would you describe this rock as having a homogenous and uniform texture, or is it made up of different fragments in a matrix? How many different types of fragment can you recognize? (You may need to have both a close look and a wider look to appreciate the textural variety at different scales of observation.) 2) What is the shape of the individual clasts? Are they angular or rounded, or something in between? 3) Describe the texture and color of the matrix material in between the individual clasts.
