Busy Workload for Whitianga-Based Rescue Helicopter Issue 931 - 6 January 2021 Phone (07) 866 2090 Circulation 8,000 Busy workload for Whitianga-based rescue helicopter By Stephan Bosman Soon after a helicopter of the Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust (ARHT) arrived at Crosby Field, the rescue helicopter base in Whitianga, for a five-week period on Monday last week, the crew were tasked on their first mission. That was followed by seven more missions before “Auld Lang Syne” could be heard across the Coromandel Peninsula as people welcomed in the New Year. “The workload of the rescue helicopter that’s at the moment based in Whitianga is evidence that we need a rescue helicopter operating from the Peninsula over long weekends and the busy holiday periods,” says Merv George, chairman of the Coromandel Rescue Helicopter Trust (the owner of Crosby Field). “Traffic around the Coromandel bordered on chaotic over the New Year’s period. Some of the patients the helicopter attended to in the few days before New Year, including motor vehicle accident victims at Kennedy Bay and Wharekaho, were seriously injured. If it wasn’t for the helicopter, it may have taken a long time for them to get to a hospital.” Craig Gibbons, CEO of Northern Rescue Helicopters Limited (a joint venture between the ARHT and the Northland Emergency Services Trust) says he is pleased that they are able to roster three helicopters, two in Auckland and one in Whitianga, on during the current summer holiday season. “It’s something we haven’t delivered in the past,” he says. “While the people on the Coromandel are supported by helicopter aeromedical services from Ardmore, Tauranga and the Waikato, the availability The first Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust crew based in Whitianga for the summer holidays inside the Crosby Field hangar on Wednesday last week. of a dedicated helicopter on the Coromandel From the left - Ati Wynyard (crewman), Mike McAulay (paramedic), Josh Sanders (paramedic) and Paul Robinson (pilot). provides two clear benefits. “The first is additional capacity.

What’s happening in the night sky? Night sky information provided and sponsored by Week of Wednesday, 6 January to Wednesday, 13 January - There will be no International Space Station passes this week, but lots of other smaller satellites to see in the early evening. They are generally only visible for about two to three hours after sunset or before sunrise as they have no lights of their own and only reflect sunlight enabling us to see them. Late in the evening, the Earth’s shadow moves around to cover the whole sky so they are invisible except for those few in very high orbits. Satellites generally appear just like faint moving stars but if you see one that is regularly becoming brighter and dimmer as it passes overhead, it is likely to be a piece of “space junk.” These are usually rocket boosters or tumbling satellites that give off flashes of light from their reflective surfaces as they rotate.

Authors: Jonathan Andrews, David Babb, Mike McKernan, Brian Horton, and Dr. David Barber The Centre for Earth Observation Science University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB. Corresponding author: Jonathan Andrews, [email protected] About this Assessment Context and Goals This climate-impact assessment was completed by researchers at the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) with financial support from Transport Canada. This work is one component of a broader CEOS-Transport Canada partnership running from 2014-2016, which is a product of Transport Canada’s Network of EXpertise on Transportation in Arctic Waters (NEXTAW) program. NEXTAW is part of Transport Canada’s Northern Transportation Adaptation Initiative. The motivation for this project at CEOS and Transport Canada stems from an awareness of the significant environmental changes occurring in the Canadian Arctic and a shared desire to better understand these changes and the impact they may have on marine transportation in the area. This assessment examines the impact of climate change in Hudson Bay, Hudson Strait, and Foxe Basin, and considers the resultant vulnerabilities and opportunities for the Port of Churchill’s marine operations extending to 2030 and 2050. Changes in sea ice and their consequences for shipping routes are of particular interest.
