After 50 years without a sighting, the rare and quirky sailback houndshark has finally been spotted again in Papua New Guinea!

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.

At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

A Doctor in Gaza: Come along for a talk by Dr Alan Kerr about his and his wife Hazel's experiences, as volunteers, during 40 visits to the Occupied Territories of Israel between 2001 and 2019. All welcome.

Date: Monday 6 Oct 2025
Time: 2pm
Venue: St Andrews Church Hall, 100 St Andrews Rd, Epsom
Parking: Available on the right-hand side of the long driveway; there is further angle parking near the hall.

Bio:
Following surgical training in Wellington, Auckland and the University of Alabama, Alan was a full time Cardiothoracic and Vascular surgeon at Green Lane Hospital from 1970 until his retirement in 2002.

Initially, he had a major role in the development of surgery for coronary artery disease in NZ, and later, following the retirement of Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes, he became the lead heart surgeon for NZ children.

In Palestine, he was often accompanied by a volunteer team of ex-colleagues from the Starship Hospital, and together they operated on 750 children from West Bank and Gaza. Teaching and training of local staff was a focus, and with international and Israeli collaboration, a fully Independent Palestinian service was developed at the Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem.

NB. This meeting will be the last formal meeting before the EEDHS deregisters as an incorporated society early next year. At the Oct meeting, the EEDHS will be taking a vote by its members as to which local historical society the EEDHS will entrust with its assets.

Thought you were past your prime to become a rockstar? Don't sell yourself - or your health - short.

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.

The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...

We hope this news brings a smile!
