Night of crime across Mid Canty

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

A one-night crime spree spanning several hundred kilometres and including Mid Canterbury towns came to an end in Christchurch yesterday morning when a 42-year-old man was taken into custody.

Police say two vehicles were rammed, two vehicles were burnt out, a building was seriously damaged by fire, a service station was burgled and another building was the scene of an attempted burglary in a spate of offending that started when a stolen vehicle pulled into an Ashburton service atation at 4.30am.

An occupant of the vehicle broke into the Z service station in Tinwald and stole a number of items.

The Ashburton Fire Brigade were called to attend the scene after the alarm activated.

“When the alarm is activated, that sets off the fog machine, which in turn sets off the fire alarm,” Ashburton fire chief Alan Burgess said. “That was the extent of our involvement.”

The vehicle then travelled south towards Hinds.

A vehicle from Talbot Security Group attempted to follow the

PHOTO SUPPLIED offender and was rammed in the process.

Owner-operator Dean Talbot said the guard involved in the incident was not injured and was able to carry on with his work.

The vehicle then headed to Mayfield, where the offender allegedly attempted to burgle another property.

The offender was disrupted by a police patrol and the stolen vehicle rammed the police vehicle,

causing significant damage.

The stolen vehicle was next seen in Mt Somers where it appeared to have been set alight, also damaging a building next to the Mt Somers Store.

“It was a very unique call-out,” Mt Somers rural fire force chief Leslie Huggins said.

“It was a very old building so that was never going to last, so the main focus was protecting the surrounding buildings.”

Huggins said another concern for firefighters was the fuel pump and large container of LPG canisters located nearby.

The offender was not sighted again until he was spotted by police in another stolen vehicle near Christchurch International Airport, where he was able to avoid police road spikes.

Police followed the vehicle for a short time, however, abandoned the chase due to the manner of

the driving. The vehicle was later found alight in Bryndwr.

A third vehicle was later pulled over by police on Gloucester Street and one man was taken into custody on other matters.

He is also assisting police with their enquiries into the Mid Canterbury matters.

There were no injuries during any of the incidents.

A fire investigator was at the scene of the fire on Friday, making it a busy fortnight for the investigators in the district.

A house in Hatfield was destroyed last week by a non-suspicious fire, believed to have been caused by a fireplace.

On the Friday of that week, a Cambridge Street property was damaged by a fire that is believed to have been deliberately lit.

On Tuesday evening, Ashburton firefighters attended another suspicious blaze, this time on Peter Street.

An empty house was severely damaged by the fire that is being treated as suspicious.

Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins said that the Ashburton CIB had launched two separate investigations into the suspicious fires and that they were following positive lines of enquiry into both.

MPs keep pressure on for M. bovis support Linda Clarke

Linda.c@theguardian.co.nz

Almost 100,000 cattle have been culled in the nationwide battle to eradicate mycoplasma bovis.

The Ministry for Primary Industries’ eradication campaign began on May 28 a year ago and Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon said his Ashburton district had been ground zero.

Those helping support farmers and their communities affected by the eradication campaign say they are finally getting the support they need. The Ashburton district accounts for at least 40 per cent of the cases so far.

Falloon said some farmers had

been put through the wringer.

“Cull numbers keep going up and up, with projections blowing out last year from 100,000 to 150,000.

“The Ministry for Primary Industries, tasked with the response to the outbreak, haven’t provided any firm estimates in recent months of how many more cattle are likely to be culled.

“My overriding concern remains with the farmers who’ve been impacted through no fault of their own. Many have been put through the wringer with the process that MPI have rolled out, and families have been traumatised by the way the culling has been

run.”

He said compensation timeframes continued to be too slow, with what was promised to be days instead taking weeks and months for many local farmers he had worked with.

“It’s positive that MPI have accepted they dropped the ball over the recent surge in farms affected, but what’s important now is that they learn from those mistakes and work alongside farmers,” Falloon said.

Politicians have been on the ground in Mid Canterbury showing support for farmers, with National’s Nathan Guy visiting a depopulated and restocked farm

here this week.

MPI has received 1055 claims for compensation so far, according to the latest situation report yesterday and paid out 712 worth $69.5 million.

Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust chairman Peter Reveley said a special support group headed

by Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel was keeping the pressure on Government to make sure the district was well resourced and able to offer the appropriate help to its farmers and members of its rural communities.

He said stressed farmers should seek help. Local veterinary practices were now also up to date

with the latest information and could help.

MPI says eradication remains the goal and Reveley said he was optimistic about achieving it. The process was continuing to improve as all parties learned more about the disease and how to farm with it.

To date, there have been 170 properties confirmed with mycoplasma bovis; 46 remain active or in the process of depopulating.

Another 175 properties are under a notice of direction (restricting movement of animals) and 487 properties are under active surveillance (at risk and being tested).

She’s fabulous, baby!

It’s been said that a great musical has the ability to make even the most miserable of people smile and how true that is.

Offered the opportunity to review the Ashburton Variety Theatre’s 2019 show Sister Act on Thursday night, I walked in the doors of the Ashburton Trust Event Centre in a bad mood following a long and demanding day in the office.

A couple of hours later, I walked out of there with a smile a mile wide, my brain humming away to a whole raft of new songs I’d just heard for the first time and in total admiration of how a group of people from a small rural district can manage to produce such quality on the stage.

I loved every minute of it.

Based on the famous movie Sister Act featuring Whoopi Goldberg, the musical version is a slightly different adaptation, but based on the same characters with a very similar plot. I’m not going to give too much away about the story here, if you’ve seen the movie you’ll have a pretty good grasp on it, instead I want to focus on the individuals.

Given the challenge of producing a show that delivers the goods in the sometimes tough market of Mid Canterbury, director Regan Jackson has hit the nail on the head.

His creative flair and eye for detail, no matter how small, is evident and he’s developed a cast of stars and unleashed them on the stage.

He is, of course, ably assisted by the brilliant Jo Castelow as musical director. Jo is no stranger to Mid Canterbury and her strength as a vocal coach is clear through each song and her direction and guidance on the band beneath the stage offers standout sound throughout the night.

Bringing the music and the creative direction together and turning it into dance, Jessie Thomson’s skills have created movement that is not only fluent, but slick, well directed and doesn’t compete with other aspects of the performances.

Any good stage show needs good leads and it is well known that an intense search had to be undertaken to find someone to play the role of the main character, Deloris Van Cartier. But the old adage that good things come to those who wait is the perfect way to describe the success of getting Sharleyne Diamond into the role.

She was everything you’d expect from a leading lady – particularly considering she was filling a role made famous by one of the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry, Whoopi Goldberg. Diamond, as the name would suggest, sparkled and gave a performance both as an actress and

The entire Sister Act nun ensemble was excellent. a vocalist that would have made Whoopi proud.

While hesitant in the opening numbers, Diamond wound into her work impressively and was soon delivering powerhouse notes with ease and underlined her impressive range.

Similarly, Emma Gilkison’s portrayal of the sarcastic, and quite often stiff, Mother Superior is sublime and her soprano range is incredible. Her performance is as good as any other on the stage. Add to her effort the comedic, yet straight-faced effort of Matt Deavoll as policeman Sweaty Eddie Souther and the humorous Monsignor O’Hara played by Paul Castelow and you were hardly going to miss.

But when you go to shows like this, you get used to finding the unexpected. That little golden egg that’s hidden away waiting to pop out and surprise you and this year’s little hidden gem comes in the form of a Year 12 student from Geraldine, Brooke Dwyer.

Her adaption of the role of Sister Mary Robert, the shy and timid nun in training who isn’t aware of her vocal abilities was executed with perfection.

On that alone, she was faultless, but then this young lass began to sing and her performance of The Life I Never Had was flawless and brilliant – a sure-fire tear-jerker that will bring down the house each and every night.

Alongside Sister Mary Robert, her fellow leading nuns were equally as enjoyable.

Patrice Hammond played her part as Sister Mary Patrick to perfection, leaving you thinking you were watching the same character form the movie with great gusto and enthusiasm.

Likewise, Kim Vessey who played Sister Mary Lazarus – I never expected to see a rapping nun and can honestly say I’ll now never forget the one I have – priceless. The entire nun ensemble was brilliant, their dancing and harmonies across the stage were impressive and left you struggling to

know where to lock your eyes.

In a show largely dominated by female talent, it would be remiss to not mention the boys.

Matt Williams’ efforts as mob boss Curtis were excellent and his vocal performances were as strong as we’ve seen from him in previous shows. His group of followers – Pablo (Chris Woods), Joey (Brent Gray) and TJ (Luke Glendining) were a laugh a minute and those high notes in Lady in the Long Black Dress, boys, wow.

After some strong shows in the past few years, I thought it would be hard to match up to the same level again for Ashburton Variety Theatre this year, but again they’ve set the bar higher and then gone and surpassed it.

Sister Act is not just a musical, it’s a gripping story with brilliant comedic interjections and will leave you smiling and feeling fabulous, baby!

Green light for subdivision 13 years in the planning

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

John Skevington and Jo Ruane can’t wipe the smiles off their faces – after 13 years of planning, their subdivision on terraced land above Lake Hood, has been given the green light.

Final sign-off next week will be a red letter event for the couple, signalling, Skevington hopes, the start of money flowing back into their bank account rather than going the other way.

Their Village Green on Huntingdon subdivision will eventually see a village green style development on land adjacent to Lake Hood, land that was once owned

by Skevington’s grandmother.

He bought the land 23 years ago with no clear plan for its future, other than it perhaps becoming the site of his retirement home.

When the couple first toyed with the idea of subdividing the land, Ruane sketched up a site plan with just nine sections. Time changed that as they visited other subdivisions and collected ideas.

“It’s been an exciting project for both of us, but very frustrating at times. We’ve spent a lot of money and we could easily have walked away and sold the block. It’s been a long, long road and it’s taken a lot of tenacity – and pig headedness,” Skevington said.

“At times it’s been completely exasperating. It’s been a long gestation, a long labour and a rather painful delivery but we’re there,” Ruane said.

Jo Ruane (left), and John Skevington, are celebrating the 13 years of hard work taken to reach sign-off on their Village Green in the Huntingdon subdivision.

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 210519 “A few times we’ve come home and been stomping around.”

It’s a 20 hectare block, but less than half of the land will be used for housing, the remainder will be landscaped green space.

“This land can’t be subdivided any more so it protects the home owners for the future. We wanted people to have the confidence

that what it is, is what it will remain, Ruane said.

Nine sections will be offered in the first stage of the development and stage two can come onstream quite quickly after that as section sales are signed up.

All house lots are angled towards the sun and have views, and there are height, style and

fencing covenants in place.

“We want to keep to a standard and style of home. We live here and we’re not going to build this and walk away. We’ll drive past it every day. It’s become a very personal project for us,” Ruane said.

They are also working with a housing company who intends to build a showhome as part of the

development.

Landscape plans include more than $140,000 in plantings and there will be a good balance between privacy and open spaces, she said.

The subdivision now has a website and this is generating plenty of inquiries. Once site work begins on June 4, Skevington anticipates that interest will step up.

Titles will be available by the end of the year.

While they’d always believed they’d get the project off the ground, confirmation that the subdivision was about to become a reality was an absolute relief, Skevington said.

“Sure we want to make some money – finally – but its more important for us to build something nice, something really special on this site. We’re really keen to have contact with potential buyers. It’s more than money in the bank, it’s become our baby really.”

They’ve tried to keep the project as local as possible – Leonard Wall, of Sullivan and Wall as landscaper, Zircon, with concrete work and ACL, with the goundworks.

And while the vision may be theirs, the couple said they’ve never been afraid to seek advice from experts.

The subdivision will include a low pressure wastewater system that’s a relatively new concept for the Ashburton District but is well used in other parts of New Zealand.

Question over declaring climate crisis

By Sue Newman

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Whether the Ashburton District will follow the lead of Christchurch City and ECan in declaring a climate and ecological emergency will be in the hands of the community, mayor Donna Favel said.

A growing number of local authorities are recognising the urgency of taking action on climate change by making the emergency declaration and

Y DA O T US L L CA

Christchurch City this week followed the South Island lead of Nelson and ECan. The declaration has not been discussed by Ashburton district councillors and Favel said she wanted to better understand the long-term implications for the district before she made any commitment to putting it on the council agenda.

“We haven’t yet had a conversation about initiating this. I understand it is important but

when you lead a community it’s important to hear from our councillors because they’re the community’s representatives,” Favel said.

Yesterday saw students take action on climate change through a second School Strike 4 Climate which saw a mass youth rally in Hagley Park.

“The message is getting louder, but it’s important if we move as a community we move together.

The readiness of a metropolitan

community, however, is significantly different to a provincial population,” she said.

While Favel has signed a local government declaration on climate change in her position as mayor, her councillors were opposed to signing as a council, concerned that this would commit them to action that might not be in the community’s best interest.

Instead they wanted a climate change policy specific to likely im-

pacts on the Ashburton District.

The council was up with the field in terms of having a fit for purpose strategy for its own patch, she said.

The draft policy was designed taking on board the wealth of national and international knowledge. Its object was to drill down and assess likely impacts on a local level.

Public submissions were invited and hearings have been completed.

Old habits die hard and there appears to be some confusion in Ashburton over the location of the district’s new Post Shop outlets.

With the old NZ Post building on the corner of East and Cameron streets now closed, services offered from two businesses in that building – Postshop and Kiwibank – have transferred to other parts of Ashburton’s central business district.

Postal services are now provided in Ashburton from two locations, Office Spot at the eastern end of East Street and from Paper Plus on central East Street. They are also available at Allenton Pharmacy and Tinwald Supervalue.

What hasn’t changed is the location of post offices boxes. These have remained in the lobby of the old NZPost building. The NZPost delivery branch is also still based in this building and any one with postal items to collect can do so from the PO Box lobby between 7am and 5pm.

Kiwibank has relocated to a new home in the Cass Street Tavendale building.

“Fortunately our two young children [5 and 11] were at school at the time, but you can imagine how traumatic it would have been if they’d been playing out front when all these armed police turn up,” Mielnik said at the time.

raid was Mielnik’s purchase of an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle from Gun City, the day after the Christchurch terror attacks in March.

His rifle was then confiscated.

Mielnik said he understood the reasoning behind the rifle ban and seizure, but not why he was targeted in such a heavy-handed manner.

Gun owners lay complaints

Gun owners have made six complaints to the Independent Police Conduct Authority about what they say are heavy handed police raids following the Christchurch mosque shootings.

IPCA investigation manager Stu Graham said his team would decide whether to formally investigate the three complaints each from the South and North Islands.

“All the complaints will get assessed to determine the level of involvement of the authority,” Graham told Stuff.

The raids kicked off after a gunman killed 51 people during attacks on two Christchurch mosques on March 15.

Adam Mielnik, 37, a farm manager near Ashburton, is among those to speak out about the raids after police paid a “heavy-handed” visit to his family’s home.

The father-of-two said he had returned home to the farm he manages, about 20km out of Ashburton, for lunch on May 13, when “seven or eight” police cars sped up his driveway and blocked potential exits.

St John station renovations on track

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

By this time next month St John should be operating out of their newly renovated station in Ashburton.

Ashburton executive officer Elaine Vallender said the renovations are currently on track to be completed at the Tancred Street station by June 13 .

“It is going to be on time and it is such an important thing, the team have pulled out all the stops to get

it done,” she said.

The renovations, which are expected to cost approximately $750,000, were necessary to future-proof the building.

“The $750,000 renovation to the Ashburton St John station will provide space for the increased number of staff and vehicles,” she said.

The alterations include creating two more bedrooms, a work area and training space, and undercover parking for two ambulances.

A new preparation and storage

area will also be created, freeing up the old storeroom for an office.

The renovation will also include a new bathroom and kitchen and new floor coverings throughout the station.

Vallender said the majority of actual building work has been completed on the site, with only painting, joinery and other details to be added to finish the job.

Currently the ambulance operation is working out of temporary accommodation, which Vallender

says has become slightly frustrating for staff due to a reduction in space.

Pressure on the capacity at the station has come from the St John goal to double crew all road ambulances by 2021.

“Ashburton has already increased its staff to ensure all vehicles are double crewed and this has created pressure on the existing space,” Mid Canterbury territory manager Ian Rex said when the renovations began.

“Ashburton currently responds to more than 3500 calls per year and this number increases each year by approximately 10 per cent.”

The original station was built in 1996, with the space that is used for community programmes, such as first aid training and youth programmes, being added in 2008.

It is expected that the improvements will future-proof the station for the next 15 years, after which the organisation will outgrow the current station.

■■HYPE YOUTH HEALTH CENTRE

Health centre has critical youth role

By Sue Newman

Left – Hype youth health co-ordinator Sheree Kershaw provides a listening ear and helping hand for young people wanting advice on a range of sexual, physical, social and mental health issues.

sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s Hype Youth Health Centre is living up to its goal of providing a ‘no questions asked’ service for 10-to-24-year-olds, says its co-ordinator Sheree Kershaw.

Each year since the service was established more than 10 years ago numbers have grown and, while there is the odd quiet day, monthly averages have grown from 30 appointments to 130.

Hype offers a drop-in service where youth can talk about any health related issues.

“I advocate and refer kids on but sometimes they just need an agony aunt,” Kershaw said.

Issues range from a someone wanting a pregnancy test or contraceptive advice to issues around bullying or issues within their family or school.

If the young person has a problem that is not within her brief she refers them on to other agencies, but without the Hype service as a first point of contact, she believes many young people might not seek help so readily.

“Sometimes it’s just working with the young person on strategies they can use to deal

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 220519-SN-0015

with a situation.”

The key for young people accessing the service is that confidentiality is assured. No one is referred on to another agency nor is a third party ever involved

without the young person’s permission, she said.

“What happens in my office stays in my office and I’m really honest with the kids. They’ll know if it’s something critical I need to

pass on, they’ll know if I have an obligation to to step up and do that.”

If a client has an issue where she feels family involvement is important, Kershaw said she will

encourage the young person to talk to a parent or family member or she will offer to mediate if needed, but nothing happens without the young person’s agreement.

Kershaw has been in the job for around 18 months and brought a teaching and psychology background to the position and while those experiences are valuable, she said one of the key qualities was an ability to build rapport and trust.

“Some of these kids have had a tough life and they need someone they can talk to, someone who won’t tell their parents. They can talk about whatever is needed. It’s about them trusting me and being able to talk,” she said.

As well as working at the Hype centre, Kershaw works with students at Ashburton’s YMCA and the Ashburton College community entry programme.

Ashburton students test drive trades Moving mounds with a digger, fitting a car tyre, and using different power tools were all activities on the agenda for the 80 secondary school students who attended the Ara Trade Sector Day in Timaru this week.

The students from Ashburton, Geraldine, Temuka, Timaru and Waimate had the opportunity to gain an insight into different areas of trades through site visits to local businesses Alpine Energy and Parr & Co in the morning and fun, hands-on challenges in the afternoon.

Teri Nichol, Careers Co-ordinator from the Ashburton College Trades Academy said her students enjoyed the day and got some valuable insights into the industry.

“Industry visits provide a ‘behind the front door look’ at all the jobs offered in the work place. Our students were able to meet people who are experts in the area and heard them talking about their work. This is so valuable to open the student’s eyes to new opportunities,” she said.

Teamwork key to rescue

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay Jaime.p@theguardian.co.nz

Searchers are putting a successful search and rescue operation down to a drone and a good old fashioned bit of teamwork.

A widespread search was conducted in the Ashburton Lakes area earlier this week after a man failed to arrive at his arranged pick-up point on the Te Araroa trail.

Methven LandSAR chairman Don Geddes said search and rescue crews first started to prepare for the search on Tuesday.

“He was meant to meet his transport on Monday afternoon and he didn’t, so they gave police the heads up,” he said.

“The transport went again on Tuesday and he was a no-show so that is when we sent the

teams in to the field.”

Four teams of searchers began the search which lasted over several days.

Geddes said a team of searchers had been able to identify a set of fresh footprints that they were able to follow, while the other groups continued to search the wider area.

A search dog that was with the group picked up a scent, and was able to send the team on what they hoped was the right track.

Thanks to some smart detective work from police working alongside the LandSAR teams, they were soon able to confirm they were on the right track.

“It was some really good investigative work from the police,” he said.

“They were able to find out

what size boots he was wearing and what tread they had, and they were even able to get the receipt from his last grocery shop before he left for the hike so they would be able to match any rubbish they found to him.

“They found some very fresh tracks that were very clear and some rubbish that matched to what we knew he had so we were sure we were following him.”

On Thursday morning, the man was finally located thanks to the help of a drone.

“We had to bring up a second vhf repeater and the guy that brought it up had a drone with him,” Geddes said.

“He was able to pick out a blue sleeping bag and when he got closer he could see that there was someone still in it.

“The team with the dog were

only 150m away and would’ve found him, but it was definitely helpful.”

Geddes said the search had been a difficult one, but one that was made easier by the teamwork between the organisations involved.

He also said a lot of trouble could have been saved if the man had taken a personal locator beacon with him on the hike.

“When we found him he was almost 20km away from his pick-up point with a 2000m high mountain range between him and the point,” Geddes said.

Geddes said the Methven LandSAR team had responded to several searches on the Te Araroa Track, and that they expected the numbers to continue to grow due to the sheer number of people using the track.

New Zealand’s oldest RSA has ordered an urgent review after fears its flagship $6.5 million bar and restaurant business faces financial ruin. The Christchurch RSA’s bar and restaurant Trenches is losing thousands every month. While the local president says the business is under control, its performance is concerning the regional boss, RSA headquarters, and Veterans’ Affairs Minister Ron Mark. An independent auditors’ report to the shareholders of Christchurch RSA Holdings Ltd, shows “further significant trading losses” for the year ended June 30, 2018.

​Alma Maude Gilroy Lochhead

1920 to 2019 The death of Alma Lochhead, at the age of 99, marked the passing of one of the Ashburton District’s quiet philanthropists.

Alma and her late husband Allan, through their Lochhead Charitable Trust, benefited many charities around Mid Canterbury and especially in the Methven area. In all, more than $2.5 million was given away by the trust over its 30-yearplus life.

Alma, the only child of John Daniel and Ethel Candy was born in Ely, Cardiff, Wales. The family lived in rooms above the family butchery and grocer shop.

When her mother died, her father sold the family business and accompanied Alma on a trip to New Zealand. They then returned to Wales where Alma cared for her father until he died. She then worked as a community auxiliary nurse at Lallandough hospital.

As a young woman Alma was known for her ability to sing and play the piano and for many years she was a member of a Welsh choir called the Snowflakes.

Alma also loved going to the mov-

Obituary ies and in her younger days was known to smoke and knit through a film.

She married Arthur Rowney in 1946 and the couple had one son, Gilroy.

After Arthur died in 1961 she made a second excursion to New Zealand and on this trip met the man who would become her second husband, Allan Lochhead. They were married in 1973 in Hong Kong where Gil was stationed in the airforce.

Alma and Allan went back to Wales to pack up Alma’s household, including the family piano, to ship to New Zealand. They spent their married life in Methven.

They established the Lochhead Charitable Trust in 1988 to which they donated a large block of land in Methven. As this land was rezoned over the years it’s value increased and this enabled the trust to benefit many charities in the Mid Canterbury and especially the Methven area.

Among the many organisations to benefit was Methven House, both the existing complex and with land for the new complex, Camrose Village, Methven’s Museum and library and it’s fire brigade, the Ashburton Hospital’s new operating theatre and building strengthening, new premises for the Mid Canterbury branch of the Cancer Society, the new St Vincent de Paul building in Ashburton and many, many more.

When Alan died in 2008 Alma moved into a unit at St Stephen’s Close, then two and a half years ago made another move to Radius Millstream.

Alma’s friends described her as a very caring person and say her hospitality was legendary. She was a clear thinker who was forthright and that you always knew where you stood. Once her mind was set it could seldom be changed, but logic could sometimes prevail.

Even as her sight was failing Alma retained her fierce independence.

She was a staunch supporter of the Foundation for the Blind, sponsoring seeing-eye puppies for many years.

■■HAMILTON DISTRICT COURT

Truck driver sentenced for causing young mum’s death NZME Ambah Tuhoro can’t shake the horror of the moment she woke to see her bloodied, twisted and dead sister stuck in the driver’s seat of her car on State Highway 3.

It’s a sight she spoke about in her victim impact statement in the Hamilton District Court yesterday.

For a reason no one will ever know, Johnathan Daniel Coombe’s truck veered across the centre line on a bend on State Highway 3 at Mahoenui, north of Awakino, on February 20.

Coming the other way, heading south, was Darrelee Beckett Tuhoro driving her sister, Ambah, 20, and her two young children, aged 7 months and 2 years.

He had just missed one vehicle, as he got near the centre line, but it was Tuhoro’s vehicle he collided with.

With no time for either vehicle to brake, the impact was so severe Darrelee was killed on impact and had to be cut free from the car.

Her sister, a front seat passenger, continues to suffer from head injuries, including memory loss,

while her 2-year-old suffered a broken leg and cuts to his face.

Her 7-month-old was uninjured.

He had since told police he had no memory of the crash.

Coombe earlier pleaded guilty to charges of careless driving causing death and two charges of careless driving causing injury.

Appearing before Community Magistrate Ngaire Marcelle in the Hamilton District Court in an emotional sentencing this afternoon, Coombe avoided jail and she accepted there was no intent in causing the crash.

She described the crash as a “tragedy of immense proportions”.

Given Coombe couldn’t recall what happened, the only available inference police could draw was that he fell asleep or was distracted for an ongoing period of time.

She noted he did have a previous conviction for careless driving after also driving slow due to tiredness.

His lawyer Seung Youn said he was remorseful and was prepared to use his savings to pay any emotional harm.

Johnathan Coombe, of Waharoa, leaves the Hamilton District Court after appearing on three charges in relation to a crash north of Awakino.

PHOTO NZME. He had also since lost his job as a truck driver and had been subject to bail conditions not to drive.

Tuhoro’s grandfather, John

Tuhoro, and many other family members drove up from Taranaki for the sentencing, packing out the public gallery.

Darrelle’s sister Ambah, together with their mother, father, sister and Darrelle’s partner Ben all read their victim impact statements to the court.

Choking back tears, they described a loving mother who was not only intelligent but funny, who would now not be able to fulfil her dream of bringing up a big family, with lots more children.

Darrelle’s father, Daryl, said burying one of his children was the most heartbreaking thing he has ever had to do.

He explained how the family had only moved to New Plymouth in September last year to set up a business.

In his statement, Darrelee’s partner, Ben, described how the crash had turned his life upside down.

He had gone from looking forward to marrying the love of his life with their children, to now becoming a stay-at-home dad.

Coombe was convicted and sentenced to 180 hours of community work, six months supervision and $7000 emotional harm.

He was also disqualified from driving for 15 months.

■■HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS

Researchers urge use of vaccine NZME Researchers are urging New Zealanders to get immunised against a virus known as human papilloma virus (HPV) in a bid to significantly reduce the country’s alarming throat cancer rates.

They have found almost 90 per cent of throat cancer cases are now being attributed to HPV, which is most commonly picked up from oral sex. That’s up from 62 per cent in the 1990s.

That’s from around 300 people who are diagnosed with throat cancer each year in New Zealand.

Massey University PhD graduate Rebecca Lucas-Roxburgh, who led the study, said these rates could be reduced significantly with a higher up-

take of the HPV immunisation which is now publicly funded for all New Zealanders aged nine to 26.

“This study highlights how much of a problem HPV cancers are in New Zealand. We have as many HPV positive oropharyngeal [throat] cancer cases now, as we do cervical cancers,” Lucas-Roxburgh.

Researchers looked at the number of people diagnosed with throat cancer each year from 1996 and 2012 and what caused each one.

Lucas-Roxburgh said there were many strains of HPV but the most common, which was used in the vaccine, is HPV 16.

Using DNA testing, they found this strain was present in 99 per cent of a group of 267 cases randomly selected.

“While this was unexpected, it’s great news. We recently updated the vaccine in New Zealand to one which covers more types, but even the one we used earlier had HPV 16 in it, so in terms of prevention, it was a good surprise,” Lucas-Roxburgh said.

She said while the risks of oral sex were well known more research needed to be done on industrial occupational exposures like asbestos which can also cause HPV viruses.

“Going forward, it is possible different treatments will be used for HPV positive and negative cases.

“If this happens we need to better determine the tumours’ HPV status, so as not to under or over treat the patient,” Lucas-Roxburgh said.

About the HPV virus ■■ HPV is a common virus spread through skin contact, often during sex.

■■ Four out of five people become infected with HPV at some time in their lives. The peak incidence of HPV infection is between the ages of 16 and 20.

■■ Usually HPV infections get better on their own. However, in some cases the virus can cause cells to grow abnormally and over time lead to cancer of the cervix, vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (throat).

■■ Immunisation, safer sex, and regular cervical screening are the most important ways to prevent diseases caused by HPV. ■■ Women who have had the HPV immunisation still need to have regular cervical screening. The vaccine doesn’t protect against all the types of HPV that can cause cervical cancer or other sexually transmitted diseases.

50 years of sharing her A 50-year career is a record in any industry, but when that career is carved out of teaching dance, there’s something special to celebrate.

That’s the milestone Charmaine Quaid notches up this year.

She talks to reporter Sue Newman about those years and the pleasure she has gained from helping thousands of students learn to love dance.

harmaine Quaid was just four when she started a love affair with dance that this year will see her notch up her 50th year fostering that love in generations of Ashburton District youngsters.

As a four-year-old she accompanied a friend to a dance recital and from that moment she was hooked.

“I spent the next few months dancing every day on the back lawn with a very old net petticoat around my waist,” she said.

Six months later she was enrolled in Dorothy Sanders School of Ballet and the foundations were laid for a career that would span performance in ballet, jazz and highland and build into a long career as a dance teacher.

Each year Charmaine danced, studied, passed exams and became one of the Sanders School’s stars. At the age of 12 she started her teaching career, taking younger children’s classes and at the same time, travelling to Christchurch to keep up her own training.

“And that was very difficult because my mother didn’t drive so I was reliant on the good will of other parents, family and friends to take me through on a weekly basis. I owe a lot of people a great debt of gratitude for helping me in this way over those years.”

While Charmaine’s dance world was focused on ballet, her father suggested she learned ‘a decent sort of dancing’ and she added highland lessons to her already busy schedule.

Her teaching career started with just one ballet and two highland dancing pupils and at the same time she continued building her own dance career.

From the age of 15 she drove herself to Christchurch every Friday after school for ballet and

highland dance lessons, stayed overnight, attended more classes the next day and then drove home.

As well as dance lessons and practice, examinations and dancing competitions were crammed into each year.

May and August holidays were taken up with ballet and highland competition festivals and she gradually worked her way through the endless examinations needed to become a dance teacher.

“This was not a decision I made early on in life but just the fact that if you learned dancing you sat examinations – no choice.”

Until she was 26 Charmaine continued to compete in highland dancing competitions, as well as maintaining both a ballet and highland dancing school, and that meant continuing regular trips to Christchurch for her own lessons.

During her teenage years she began teaching ballet and highland classes in Methven and her Ashburton classes were growing.

By the time she was 17 Charmaine was virtually a fulltime dance teacher.

Jazz classes were added in the late 1970s and, since 1975, she has taught from Cameron Street’s Balmoral Hall.

She retired from teaching highland in 1984 and while she regretted that decision at times, Charmaine said she still retains an active interest and involvement in highland dancing.

Reflecting on a teaching career that has spanned 50 years and is likely to span many more, Charmaine said that over that half century there have been many moments of absolute joy.

“But, like any career, it’s been full of stress, happiness and a little sadness too. You’re dealing with children and with parents.

I’ve been incredibly lucky over the years to have some really supportive mothers involved.”

She looks back and says her introduction to teaching was brutal, an experience she doesn’t want her own senior dancers to have.

“I was launched straight into it

as a 12-year-old, so with my students who help teach I want them to work alongside me so they get that experience,” she said.

Over 50 years of teaching, Charmaine said she has lost count of the students who have danced their way across her studio floor, but said she can count a growing number of today’s students whose mothers and grandmothers were also a part of her dance school.

“I sometimes say to a student that I used to tell the same things to their mother or their grandmother.”

In some ways dance has changed over those years, but in others, nothing has changed.

Classical ballet is still very much as it was and is a great form of discipline for youngsters, she said.

“I often think ballet is the last bastion of discipline. Parents are amazed at what absolute beginners can do in just eight weeks.

It’s a bit like training puppies, it’s all about repetition and knowing there are boundaries.”

Part of that discipline is commitment, Charmaine said.

“If you take ballet up, you go to class every week and you wear the clothes that are required and wear your hair up. The older ones still rebel a bit, but they still do it because they love coming to class.”

One rule to which there are no exceptions is cellphones in class.

That’s the way it’s always been and even older students accept leaving their phone in the change room as part of the ballet routine, she said.

For a period ballet waned in popularity, but over the past 15 or so years it had undergone a real resurgence, Charmaine said.

Other dance forms have come on the scene. Some have stayed, others have flared briefly, had their moment in the sun and then disappeared.

Jazz arrived in the late ’70s when the kids from Fame hit the television screens and Charmaine credits its popularity to dance pioneer Maggie Burke and her team of dancers.

Today there are plenty of options for students – ballet, contemporary, American jazz, freestyle – but most little girls still love the idea of ballet, often moving into other dance forms later, she said.

“Jazz is not so restrictive and its more individual and not so restrictive on body size and shape. But today it’s now very classically oriented, so it’s not an easy option.”

Over the years there have been students who have been stars and who have gone on to make a future in dance and performing arts, proving dance doesn’t stop at the Rakaia River, Charmaine said.

For many years she taught competition work alongside class and exam work, but today she rarely ventures into this area.

“I used to be very involved, but I phased it out about 10 years ago. Parents are so busy with sport that they really don’t have the time and, to do competitions, they have to be very committed.”

The cost of competition work is also high, involving expensive costumes and private lessons.

Looking to the future, Charmaine has no intention of signing off from the world of dance, but said she is watching many of her contemporaries opt for retirement. And that’s leaving gaps in the ranks as there seems to be a shortage of teachers in the midage bracket, she said.

“There are lots of lovely young teachers coming through but nothing in the middle.”

Her student teacher, Jessie Thomson, is assuming a greater teaching load and now does most of her jazz classes.

“My body won’t bend like it used to and young teachers move well and they understand the music. They just look at me when I play ‘Miss Quaid’s music’.”

That doesn’t mean she has no appreciation of modern music and modern dance. She’s happy

to watch any style of dance and admires the vitality and energy of the new generation of dancers and dance forms. “It’s still dance.”

For many of her dance school’s years Charmaine employed a pianist to accompany students, but those days have long gone and music is all recorded and that means something special has been lost from the dance studio, she said.

While her students take weekly classes and study for exams, they also have the opportunity to star on stage in end-of-year recitals.

These were once annual or biannual events, but today they’re held every second year.

Over the years, Charmaine said, she had accumulated a huge wardrobe of costumes that were shaped, recycled, altered and added to for each show.

“I have a woolshed full of containers full of clothes,” she said.

For many years friend Barbara Beach has been her wardrobe mistress and she’s lost count of the incarnations each set of costumes has been through Over its 50-year life, Charmaine’s dance school has undergone several incarnations of its own – Charmaine Quaid School of Dance, Ashburton Academy of

Dance and today it is known as Dance Worx Ashburton.

Whatever its name, as its principal Charmaine has taught thousands of students to dance and next month will mark that milestone with a dance recital, Celebrating 50 Years.

Dancers will perform in a Fantasy Land show and will then perform items to represent the past, present and future.

A massive queue of climbers waiting to get to the summit of Mount Everest.

Everest’s deadly delays

By Megan Specia The reward for climbers who ascend Mount Everest is a view like none other, an expansive vista of the Himalayas from the highest point on the planet.

On Thursday, those who made it to the top saw something else: Hundreds of other climbers.

The final leg of their journey to the summit was a traffic jam of trekkers enticed by good weather, the route clogged by a single-file march of 250 to 300 people along a precarious cliff that caused delays of about three hours.

Nirmal Purja, who photographed the scene, was among the climbers who scaled the peak, despite what he described as “heavy traffic.”

The long, winding line to the peak added another element of risk to what is already one of the most dangerous mountains, raising the possibility of frostbite and oxygen depletion.

At least two climbers died after having reached the summit on Thursday, and their deaths may have been related to the delays.

Donald Cash, 54, an American, died after collapsing on the mountain following an unusually long summit, according to Pioneer Adventures, a Kathmandu-based organisation that leads expeditions on Everest.

Cash was travelling with Sherpa guides from Pioneer Adventures, the organisation said, and fainted from altitude sickness.

He could not be revived by the Sherpas.

The other fatality, Anjali Kulkarni, 54, an Indian, collapsed while returning from the summit with her husband, according to Arun Treks and Expedition, which led the trip.

“Due to the huge traffic yesterday and the delay in being able to return back, she couldn’t maintain her energy,”

said Phupden Sherpa, the tour group’s manager.

Sherpa, who recalled similar episodes in 2017 that resulted in climber deaths, said it took the group an additional three hours to return to camp, a wait that he believes contributed to her death.

Several of the climbers with Kulkarni returned to their camp with frostbite and other injuries.

Nivesh Karki, the manager of Pioneer Adventures, attributed the congestion at the summit to good weather.

The frequently changing conditions mean that there is often only a small window of time for climbing, so on Thursday, more groups than usual chose to push ahead rather than wait and risk harsh weather.

Karki said the crowding on the mountain increased the peril for all climbers, even under normal circumstances.

Two climbers are believed to

have died on Everest last week: An Indian man was found dead in his tent and an Irishman went missing after a fall.

But despite the risks, Everest has grown increasingly crowded. In 2018, a record number of climbers made it to the summit, according to figures from Alan Arnette, who chronicles the journeys of climbers on the mountain on his blog.

The Nepal Ministry of Tourism reported 563 people – a combination of foreigners and local guides – summited Everest from Nepal, and Arnette estimates that an additional 239 people reached the summit from Tibet, bringing the total to 802 people in 2018.

There were five deaths on Everest in the climbing season last year.

This year is expected to be even busier. While climbers must register for a permit to scale the mountain, there is no quota system in place, so the crowds continue to grow.

Centenarian accused of murdering 92-year-old NZME A 102-year-old woman in a disturbed state killed her 92-yearold neighbour at a French retirement home, according to a report.

The centenarian alleged-

ly attacked the woman at the old age facility in Chezy-surMarne in northern France, according to the BBC. According to news agency reports, a staff member found the victim unconscious in her bed last Saturday with severe

bruises on her face.

An autopsy revealed the 92-year-old had died from strangulation and significant blows to the head.

The suspect was “in a very agitated state and confused and told the carer that she had

killed someone”, the prosecutor said.

The 102-year-old was taken to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

Tests will then determine if the woman was criminally responsible for her actions.

Rush awarded $3 million Actor Geoffrey Rush has been awarded $3 million after winning his high-profile defamation case against a newspaper publisher in Sydney. Judge Michael Wigney found in April that The Daily Telegraph publisher, Nationwide News, and journalist Jonathon Moran were reckless in their reporting that Rush had been accused of inappropriate behaviour during a Sydney theatre production of King Lear. The judge ruled that a poster and two articles contained several defamatory meanings, including that the actor was a sexual predator.

Nude scenes off limits Emilia Clarke is sick and tired of discussing her nude scenes in Game of Thrones. The 32-year-old actress shed her clothes for her role as Daenerys back in the earlier seasons of the show, and has said she’s unlikely to ever accept a role with nude scenes again because it is “the only question” she ever gets asked now.

“Well, Sam [Taylor-Johnson, director] is a magician. I love her, and I thought her vision was beautiful. But the last time that I was naked on Game of Thrones was a long time ago, and yet it is the only question that I ever get asked. And it’s annoying as hell because I did it for the character – I didn’t do it so some guy could check out my tits, for God’s sake.”

It’s all about the ladies

T

oday’s edition of the Guardian is all about women, in particular women in business.

It’s been a massive journey for everyone here in the office to get to this point where we can highlight the work so many wonderful people are doing in our community and I want to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone involved in the process.

From the advertising team who have worked closely with our clients to get the best possible result for them, our production team for putting everything together and making it all pop on the page, Sue Newman and Linda Clarke for their

efforts with editorial, but most importantly, to our wonderful ladies who agreed to be a part of a completely new prospect for this newspaper – something we’d never done before and entered into not really knowing what the end result would be.

What the result is, is a comprehensive and wide-spanning display of women from within

Mid Canterbury who are setting the trend for women in business. But, the reality is that we’ve only really just scratched the surface of the extent to which women play in the make-up of businesses in this district – but, within the time and resources we’ve had, there has been a real concerted effort to get such a wide-ranging group of ladies who are making a difference.

It makes for some great reading and I hope you can take the time over the weekend to ingest all of the profiles and information within the feature, you’ll get a greater appreciation for just how far as a society we have come when it comes to equality.

As a business we really enjoy

taking on challenges like the Women in Business feature, it gives us the opportunity to reach out to even more people than we have before – tell stories of people we might not always have been able to tell and really get down to the nitty gritty of what makes something work.

There are a couple of other features in the pipeline of a similar ilk that are equally as exciting and we look forward to their arrival in the coming months.

But for now, enjoy a bumper edition of your Saturday Guardian, there’s plenty of reading in here covering a full array of subjects and topics from the past 24 hours in Mid Canterbury.

I had the absolute pleasure of

reviewing Sister Act on Thursday night and anyone who went along to last night’s opening night at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre will back me up when I say it’s a must-attend show for everyone in Mid Canterbury.

Getting consortium shows like this to our district takes a lot of work and a lot of money and the only way you can measure the success is through bums on seats and the more people we can pack into that wonderful venue to enjoy the skills of some incredibly gifted people the better.

The show comes with my full recommendation, make sure you get your tickets fast.

One year ago: Harvey Weinstein was charged in New York with

rape and another sex felony in the first prosecution to result from the wave of allegations against him; the once-powerful movie producer turned himself in to face the charges and was released on $1 million bail after a court appearance.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, May 25, the 145th day of 2019. There are 220 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On May 25, 1935, Babe Ruth hit his last three career home runs for the Boston Braves in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

(The Pirates won, 11-7.)

On this date: In 1787, the Constitutional Convention began at the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia after enough delegates had shown up for a quorum.

In 1810, Argentina began its revolt against Spanish rule with the forming of the Primera Junta in Buenos Aires.

In 1861, The Press went to press.

The first edition, published from a cottage in Montreal Street, Christchurch, was a six-page tabloid which sold for sixpence (equivalent to about $2.80 in 2013). Founded by prominent early settler and politician James FitzGerald, the Press is the oldest surviving newspaper in the South Island. Its first edition stated that the publishers made ‘no apology for the publication’, which was set up in opposition to two established local newspapers.

In 1959, the US Supreme Court, in State Athletic Commission v.

Dorsey, struck down a Louisiana law prohibiting inter-racial boxing matches. (The case had been brought by Joseph Dorsey Jr, a black professional boxer.)

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy told Congress: “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth.”

In 1965, Muhammad Ali knocked out Sonny Liston in the first round of their world heavyweight title rematch in Lewiston, Maine. (Ali’s victory generated controversy over whether he’d truly connected when he sent Liston crashing to the canvas with a right to the head, or whether it was a “phantom punch”, implying that the fight

How big a believer are you?

T

he stronger the belief, the stronger the action taken to proclaim or defend that belief.

The upcoming second strike by teachers this year is from the outside, a proclamation of the belief that the teaching service needs better support.

The reality is the belief – from the Ministry of Education team and the minister – in the claims from the unions, is lacking.

They simply do not believe or believe enough, that there is such a need as proclaimed. That’s why their response is the same as before the first strike – there is a finite amount of money, get over it.

The campaign run by the union on behalf of the teachers also suffers from mediocrity and lack of conviction.

The stronger the belief, the stronger the proclamation of that belief.

Like a stuck record, the union tries the same tactic that failed last time. Even better, the local action has been reduced in time.

Instead of two hours on the picket line, it will only be one.

Perhaps both sides could learn from the master of self-belief, Pope Cardinal Apostle Bishop Brian Tamaki, First of His Name

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

and Lord of His Lunchbox. For all of his narcissistic foibles, he at least believes in his own message so strongly, he has convinced thousands he is the Way, the Truth and Light at the end of the political Christian black hole he has led them into.

The unions believe their approach will work, but haven’t thought through why they are not gaining traction. Schools will close, parents will be forced to care for children by taking leave or pay for childcare. Guaranteed the paid union bosses won’t lose a cent. And what will the response from the ministry be?

There is a finite amount of money – get over it.

As people we are swayed in arguments, not by what is said, but by how closely it aligns with our own beliefs. It’s a simple sales technique. The decision to buy is not logical and mathematical, it’s emotional, it’s about fulfilling a need we believe we have, wheth-

er that need exists or not.

The argument for more support of our teaching service has been explained in numbers and requirements and future projections and blah, blah, blah.

What is missing is the connection to what people believe in and hold dear. It is easy for a minister of education to counter pay claims and requests for more funding, with the argument that there isn’t enough money.

It is a lot more difficult to counter statements about the beliefs that our education system is based on. Read the following statement from the Ministry of Education, found in the publication New Zealand Education System – Overview published in 2015.

“Our goal is to ensure that we deliver improved education outcomes for all New Zealanders, produce leaders and citizens equipped for the 21st century, and help create stronger economic growth for our country.”

Now, if the union thought about it, they could use this as their argument and question how the Ministry of Education and current minister expect to meet that goal, especially the aim to create a stronger economic growth for our country. Surely

a wise investment in the future citizens of this country is small compared to the return gained from producing leaders and citizens equipped for the 21st century and improving education outcomes for all.

Instead, next week, teachers will gather by a duck pond, walk with slightly above-average conviction towards McDonald’s while chanting wildly and then wait patiently at the lights.

Well stuff that I say! If you are going to inconvenience parents, then I think you should all bring a pallet and half a dozen beer.

The pallets are for the bonfire you are going to light in the middle of the road. The drink is for the firemen who will turn up to douse your volcanic display of civil disobedience.

Think I’m mad – not really. If you plan to do what you have always done, then you will get what you have always got. The stronger the belief, the stronger the action taken to proclaim or defend that belief.

Dear parents with young children in church A n open letter to all parents that bring their children to church: You are doing something really important.

I know it’s not easy. I see you with your arms overflowing and I know you come to church already tired.

Parenting is tiring. Really tiring.

I watch you bounce and sway trying to keep the baby quiet, juggling the infant car seat and the nappy bag as you find a seat.

I see you wince as your child cries. I see you anxiously pull things out of your bag of tricks to try to quiet them.

And I see you with your toddler and your pre-schooler. I watch you cringe when your little girl asks an innocent question in a voice that might not be an inside voice let alone a church whisper.

I hear the exasperation in your voice as you beg your child to just sit, to be quiet as you feel everyone’s eyes on you. Not everyone is looking, but I know it feels that way.

I know you’re wondering, is this worth it? Why do I bother?

I know you often leave church more exhausted than fulfilled.

Joan Clark

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

But what you are doing is so important.

When you are here, the church is filled with a joyful noise. When you are here, the Body of Christ is more fully present.

When you are here, we are reminded that this worship thing we do isn’t about Bible study or personal, quiet contemplation, but coming together to worship as a community where all are welcome, where we share in the Word and Sacrament together.

When you are here, I have hope that these pews won’t be empty in 10 years.

I know that they are learning how and why we worship now, before it’s too late. They are learning that worship is important.

I see them learning. Amid the cries, whines and giggles, in the midst of the crinkling of chip bags and the growing pile of crumbs, I see a little girl who insists on going two pews up to

share peace with someone she’s never met.

I hear a little boy slurping (quite loudly) every last drop of the communion wine out of the cup, determined not to miss a drop of Jesus. I watch a child excitedly colour a cross and point to the one in the front of the sanctuary.

I hear the echoes of “Amen” just a few seconds after the rest of the community says it together.

I watch a boy just learning to read try to sound out the words on the screen. I can see your children learning.

I know how hard it is to do what you’re doing, but I want you to know it matters. It matters to me. It matters to the other children, to not be alone in the pew.

It matters to the congregation to know that families care about faith, to see young people ... and even on those weeks when you can’t see the little moments, it matters to your children.

It matters that they learn that worship is what we do as a community of faith, that everyone is welcome, that their worship matters.

When we teach children that their worship matters, we teach them that they are enough right here and right now as members of the church community.

They don’t need to wait until they can believe, pray or worship a certain way to be welcome here and I know adults who are still looking to be shown that.

It matters that children learn that they are an integral part of this church, that their prayers, their songs and even their badly (or perfectly-timed, depending on who you ask) cries and whines are a joyful noise because it means they are present.

I know it’s hard, but thank you for what you do when you bring your children to church.

Please know that your family – with all its noise, struggle, commotion and joy – are not simply tolerated, you are a vital part of the community gathered in worship.

With love from your church family.

God bless.

■■BUDGET 2019

Balance ‘about right’ says Ardern NZME The government’s decision to relax its Budget Responsibility Rules has attracted a balance of positive and negative criticism, suggesting it’s pitched about right, said Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in a speech to an Auckland business audience ahead of Finance Minister Grant Robertson’s first “well-being Budget”, next Thursday.

“For anyone who needs or wants a reminder, these were a set of self-imposed rules to demonstrate our commitment to sound economic management covering our debt-toGDP ratio, core Crown spending and Budget surpluses,” she said.

“The reaction to (Robertson’s) news that following the expiry of the Budget Responsibility Rules in 2022 we would be moving from a net debt target (of 20 per cent) to a net debt range (of 15-to-25 per cent) received positive and

negative attention – usually a sign we have the balance right.”

While critics on the left have said the rules should be abandoned earlier to allow more spending on both infrastructure and areas of ongoing spending need, those on the right have said it indicates the government is unable to maintain its commitments to fiscal discipline.

However, Ardern made clear the government still regards the rules as important to ensuring New Zealand has a buffer in the event of a global economic downturn or turmoil caused by, for one example, the ongoing trade tensions between the US and China.

“Our economy is strong but, as you all know, we will always be impacted by global headwinds, which of course doesn’t mean we can’t prepare ourselves to be resilient and future proof but does tend to mean that we always keep one

eye on the rest of the world,” she said.

“The tariff war between the US and China has flared up again in the last couple of weeks, the US economy is also showing signs of slowing.

“And uncertainty in Europe due in large part to Brexit is ongoing adding further to the global economic headwinds we face.

“All of this adds up to a global environment in which New Zealand businesses operate that is both unstable and uncertain.”

On progress towards policy-making that puts well-being measures on a par with economic resilience, Ardern urged patience, saying “systemic change does take time”.

“My hope is though, that this year, by meeting both the Budget Responsibility Rules and with the new Well-being Budget, you’ll see us doing exactly what is needed – setting a strong foundation for both our country and our people.”

If any company can take a cryptocurrency mainstream, it is Facebook.

More than 2 billion people log into its family of apps and increasingly they want to buy things and send each other money.

Facebook’s answer, according to several people familiar with its secretive Libra project, will be to try to launch a stablecoin, a digital currency pegged to the dollar.

If successful, the Facebook coin could not only allow

payments and transfers within the Facebook empire, but could also be stored on digital wallets and spent in shops, or exchanged into traditional currencies.

“Facebook has all the prospects to propel crypto into everyday lives . . . in the next three to five years,” said one well-known payments veteran, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

But “there are headaches to be worked out,” the executive added, questioning how small businesses that end up with a stockpile of the currency would be able to account for it on their books, for example.

Facebook declined to comment.

t has been an absolute privilege to share the stories of so many of the women who are working in businesses across Ashburton.

Some of those women were business owners, others were women who were the public face of that business, but every one was passionate about what she did and the industry in which she worked. Many were juggling families and work but each woman was committed

to the business she worked in or owned. The women who owned a business were always quick to point out that they could not do what they did without a great team behind them. Those people all played vital roles in making their business a success. In the Ashburton District it is clear that gender has absolutely nothing to do with how successful you are at your job. The opportunities are there for the taking.

My professional career has been filled with many unique and exciting employment opportunities, primarily in the fields of hospitality, training, marketing, sales and team building.

I believe that equality is not about women being put first; it is about equality for all, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or physical attributes.

Women are leaders in our community in so many ways – writing our news, leading our hospital and being the top judge in the District. There are many unsung women leaders – those involved with PTAs, sports teams, clubs, and theatre productions, to name a few. These women are having a positive impact in our community.

Here at council, I see women in leadership roles who are articulate and disciplined, with a great focus on teamwork and collaboration. Success in their chosen fields and gaining the respect of their peers allows for effective teamwork, a necessity in this organisation.

Becoming Ashburton’s first female mayor was a great honour. It is my understanding that I am the first former Ashburton College and Ashburton Intermediate pupil to become mayor (I am unable to confirm if I have been the first ex-Tinwald School pupil). This history acknowledges my personal local roots in our district and demonstrates the opportunities one can achieve.

When I was first elected as a councillor in 2010, I was one of three women in a council of 13. When the

nation celebrated the 125th year of suffrage in 2018, the Monarch, the Governor-General, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of Ashburton were positions all held by females. But the gender balance around many councils in New Zealand hasn’t changed quickly, with only 14 female mayors in 78 councils throughout New Zealand.

I might consider the challenges as mayor to be as others in the role before me have, but with the added self-expectation that as the district’s first female mayor I must set a good example for those who may follow. As mayor I have recognised that I cannot do it all by myself and I may not achieve perfection, I work long and hard to achieve as close to 100 percent as possible for our community.

I can relate what truly drives me, to my baseball background–“the measure of success are the runs on the board”. And I would like to see more runs on the board in everything we do at council. There are, and will continue to be, many opportunities to pause, reflect and celebrate the wins in this district.

As females we have a tendency to be hardworking and understated, trusting others will notice our achievements. I’ve been told that you can get a lot done in politics if you don’t care who takes the credit.

To all the Women in Business, learn from those who have gone before, enjoy the fruits of the present, embrace all the opportunities available to you, and plan for the future. It is difficult to reach your goal, if you don’t know where you are heading.

Lynda Mathieson Mathieson Chartered Accountants Ltd Employment relations consultant If Lynda Mathieson had her way she’d never spend a day in mediation or in the Employment Court.

As a Employment Relations and employment law advisor she says it’s her job to ensure every one of her employer clients has a best practice workplace that ensures a working environment where all boxes on the Employment Relations chart are ticked.

In practice, however, that does not happen and when issues arise between employer and employee she’s called in to find a way through any dispute.

“The best way to describe how I help Employers, is that I provide support around Employment Relations Compliance, Recruitment, Risk Management and developing of solutions that best fit the individual business requirements. I guide businesses on how they should manage their Employment Relations and when it gets tricky, then I’ll step in.”

Often a client will call wanting reassurance that they’re handling a situation the correct way but just as often that reveals a need to take a closer look at what they’re doing around their legal requirements, she said.

Lynda sees her job as finding good

• • •

outcomes for both employer and employee.

“I live and breathe employment law; we’re solutions focused. We’re not about creating disputes, we’re about ensuring they don’t occur,” she said.

Lynda’s clients are businesses and employers rather than employees.

“I’d say a lot of small businesses think they understand employment law, so in their minds what they’re doing seems to be fine and done with good intentions, but their area of expertise is their business, not Employment Relations. There are a lot of intricacies in employment law that you won’t know until it hits you.”

It’s her goal never to let a dispute get to the Employment Court. That’s an expensive place that no one wants to go, she said.

Increasing business cashflows Growing business turnover Boosting business profit

• • •

“It’s negative being in a dispute where you’re fighting for what you believe is right. Mediation is better but I try to avoid all of that by resolving disputes amicably and fairly. It’s better if it’s not about winners and losers.”

A good workplace in terms of Employment Relations is one where the relationships were such that if something went wrong the two parties could talk and not become adversarial, Lynda said.

“Most employers want to be fair and they think they’re doing the right thing but often get caught out.”

During the Canterbury earthquakes Lynda was HR manager for construction company Hawkins. She was faced with recruiting 230 Rebuild Solution Managers and quantity surveyors within a four-month period. They came from across New Zealand as well as England and Ireland. For many, working with people in extreme distress was very difficult ,she said.

“They took a lot on their shoulders, they saw a lot of sad situations that were beyond their control.”

That was both a challenging and rewarding time.

Today she works in her own practice

and also with accountant husband David’s clients.

“I absolutely love what I do,” she said.

Lynda came to New Zealand 22 years ago, initially for work, then on holiday and finally to stay.

She originally worked for an upmarket travel company, Elegant Resorts, that saw her travel the world staying in top-end accommodation and then going home to talk to clients about her experience. One of those was New Zealand’s Huka Lodge.

“Of all the places around the world, I fell in love with New Zealand. I loved the scenery but it was the people who drew me in,” she said.

She returned home, took a three month break, came back to New Zealand and decided she didn’t want to leave. Her first application for residency was declined and she was within one day of leaving when she received a letter saying her second application had been successful.

“Except for the birth of my daughter and marrying Dave, it was the third best day of my life.”

Today she’s established a business that counts its clients as both local and national companies.

Kylie Burrowes Westside Hire (2017) Ltd

Business co-owner

Sales manager, office manager and business co-owner

When Kylie Burrowes and husband Darryl bought Westside Hire in August 2017, she swapped a day spent with pre-schoolers to a day spent in the world of diggers, trailers and assorted machinery.

And over the past 20 months, while she’s loved the challenge, loved learning new things, at heart she misses working with children.

“I’m basically the office lady who owns the business I’ve gone from preschoolers to swearing men and that’s been a pretty big change,” she said.

Kylie and Darryl already owned Allen’s Liquid Waste Disposal and that’s Darryl’s domain. Kylie’s focus has been growing and expanding the hire business. Today she’s confident the hard work, juggling a new business, relieving at a preschool and looking after children Josh and Ella has paid off.

“I am very lucky to have great staff who do the hard yards now, so I can concentrate on all the other things going on in my life as well as Westside Hire.

“At the start I had no idea what a lot of things in the business were, but now I know and can help with everything around the place, except the heavy lifting,” Kylie said.

the camaraderie and friendship that develops with regular customers.

Kylie has recently introduced a new party hire range and said there is now a large enough stock of equipment to cater for most reasonably large events.

The hire business is open seven days and that means family time is often hard to come by. Sundays Kylie and Darryl both work, but Saturday is her “me” day.

Life in the Burrowes house is often held together by notes or text messages.

“We’re a bit like passing ships sometimes.”

Kylie has a busy social media presence and enjoys the marketing side of the business, coming up with entertaining posts and ads.

“We always have a bit of fun; they come in for a bit of banter and a laugh.”

And it’s that fun, that keeps the customers coming, she said.

In her down time, Kylie enjoys being a part of the local theatre company Variety Theatre Ashburton. The current production of Sister Act is in full swing and you will find her and her daughter, Ella, backstage organising all the props.

“It’s an amazing thing to be a part of and everyone has a great time, it’s my happy place. (That and I can’t sing or dance to save myself LOL).”

Health and safety geek

You might consider that commitment to health and safety has been a matter of good luck rather than good planning for some farmers and businesses, but the team at Ashburton’s Compliance Partners is working on changing that.

It’s their job to work with small-tomedium businesses (farming included!) as health and safety and HR advisers, and Jane Fowles said they’re forging some great relationships in Mid Canterbury.

As a qualified practitioner, she saw a gap in the market five years ago and set up Compliance Partners.

Her background is in health and safety and human resources across the tertiary, private and public sectors.

To many people health and safety legislation is an easily procrastinated task, but for Jane it’s a passion.

“I just love health and safety, and anything to do with how we manage our people, and I could, and do, talk about it till the cows come home!”

Passion doesn’t always mean it’s easy, however, when you are trying to convince people that health and safety is important, she said.

“I spend every day taking five steps forward, but there are some days that

I take a few steps back too. It breaks my heart every time I see a headline of a death at work in New Zealand, it’s almost like a part of me has failed at my job.

For the two self-confessed health and safety geeks, Jane and Gill, it’s not about preparing a folder, handing it to a client and walking away, hoping they’ll read the blurb and take the messages on board.

“We partner with them rather than just handing over the information and saying, ‘get on with it, have a nice life. We are like their business adviser or their accountant, we build a relationship; we’re really just another adviser in their toolbox,” she said.

“It’s our job to provide good guidance and to interpret the regulations to make it practical for a business owner,” she said.

Most had neither the time nor the desire to read through huge amounts of paperwork, they’d rather be told what they needed to do, how and why.

“Our job is to make it simple. They know their business, and we know health and safety, so together we make the perfect team to find the perfect solution.

“We don’t pay lip service to health and safety. Everyone has an opportunity to stop something unsafe and to change it.”

Compliance Partners’ occupational health side of the business is an important fit into their offering to their clients.

Andrea and Antonia, both registered nurses, provide occupational health screening covering hearing, lung, vision and drug screening, as well as wellness checks, blood tests and flu vaccines.

They also offer mental health workshops.

“Those checks can save a life and, in our experience, having these in the workplace can instil real employee loyalty.

Jane also offers her HR services to clients, assisting with anything to do with people management.

We are inviting your team to come on board with Influenza Vaccinations at your workplace this winter season to help protect your staff against the flu.

Jo McCloy JFM Creatives

Director of local marketing agency Does your brand inspire?

Director of local marketing agency JFM Creatives, Jo McCloy, sits down with Janice McKay for a frank chat about marketing and JFM’s recent rebrand.

focused on the journey and those special customers that share a similar vision. It’s also not about being all things to all people, it’s about carving out a niche and never apologising for that.

You’ve been the creative director at JFM Creatives since 2007.

Tell me more about what you do.

I’m a connector of talent, to achieving marketing goals, objectives and dreams of purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are up for big things and who have a desire to make a difference in the world.

My personal commitment to clients is to show them new horizons of possibility.

Do you think technology has played a part in that shift?

Yes. When I first started, my clients lived between Rakaia and Rangitata - that’s all I could see as a possibility. Through referrals five to six years ago we extended further. Now we have national clients with a global focus. Technology has made a huge difference because all the channels of communication push you to be authentic. You can’t get away with presenting your business one way while your business moves in the opposite direction. That’s the power of social media – with such immediacy.

“Ultimately it’s flipped my business on its head: from the business driving me, to me driving the business.”

What are the key things in marketing that you’ve seen change since then?

In 2007 we used to market to a target audience based on historical thinking and data but now, it’s about crafting an ideal customer avatar. It means driving forward with crystal clear thinking

You rebranded JFM recently – tell me why?

The reason I rebranded is that its old school to think life and business is separate. Today, life and business are one. Particularly in business; many of us can now choose the life we want to live and that means business can merge with life choices such as raising a young family.

Your company values, service offering, and branding evolve as you evolve – and that’s what happened for me. I’ve spent the past six months on very deep personal development which has given me clarity of purpose. Ultimately it’s flipped my business on its head: from the business driving me, to me driving the business.

What’s your advice to others on rebranding?

If you’re honest and reflect on past business relationships and people you’ve worked with, there might be some common patterns that emerge.

They look like frustrations but they are learnings often centered around misalignment of values.

Everyday we work with entrepreneurs who are making a real difference - but their marketing is inconsistent to the true value they offer. What we do at JFM aligns and adds to that value and gives them a sense of personal pride.

As Kiwis, we’re so understated that we’re fearful of putting our head up and saying ‘I’ve done well’, or ‘I’m proud of what we’ve done’ - but we’ve taken that too far. We want the lifestyle of our dreams but were not prepared to be

visible. That’s got to change.

Why should a business rebrand?

Its important to reignite where there’s passion. Where there’s desire, there’s great work to be had and great things to be achieved.

Businesses are constantly evolving and so to should a business’s brand. When you seek constant alignment with who you are and the desires of your target customers, deep rooted relationships are formed.

What’s your one branding tip?

Taking leadership on branding is showing that we are clear about what we truly desire and delivering on that promise.

It’s about holding up the mirror, being honest with yourself and saying, ‘for my fire to be lit every day I need to be making a meaningful contribution’. Ask yourself, ‘does my brand inspire me to do that’?

Casey Rose Ashburton Trust Event Centre

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 230419-SN-0013

Functions and Marketing Manager For seven years Casey Rose has been part of the fabric that makes the Ashburton Trust Event Centre tick. Over this time she was the Bar and Catering Manager before becoming the Functions and Marketing Manager. It’s her job to help ensure business is booming across the venue.

It’s a job she loves, one she can’t imagine leaving. She tried once, but less than a month down the track she was back. “It’s an awesome job. It’s not like coming to work, it’s like coming to see your friends.

We have a lot of laughs and a lot of fun and I think this is what helps this place run the way it does” Casey said.

In a nutshell her job is to market shows, help set up and co-ordinate functions and events. As well as, making sure there are staff rostered on and the bars and kitchen are upkept. This means every day is different, from a large funeral one day to a major show the next. “There’s so much variety, it’s awesome. My goal is to see the event centre used to its maximum.

I hate days when it’s sitting unused, but then there can be two or three functions on in one day.”

Casey enjoys working behind the bar along with catering, having come from parents who were both publicans and

her first home being the Bishopdale Tavern, hospitality is in her blood. She spent up until the age of 17 living in different hotels and pubs before moving to Ashburton. Casey said her job means she’s had the opportunity to meet many well-known entertainers and event organisers, and counts that as a privilege. While shows arrive as a self-contained package and their main dealings are with the centre’s technical crew, when it comes to conferences, meeting and funerals, Casey is front line. “We’ll do anything and everything that’s needed,” she said. She’s part of a small team made up of five full timers, a number of part time staff and a great bunch of volunteers.

Casey encourages the staff to watch a wide range of shows. “It’s important for them to see what people are watching and understand what the events are about,” she said. Casey’s goal is for every show to be a sell-out show. Experience has taught her, however, that it’s never easy to judge the big sellers. Casey’s goal is to work closely with Management and heads of departments to ensure the Event Centre grows and is used to it’s full potential as it really is a great asset for the town.

Maria Jamison Rothbury Insurance Brokers

Commercial broker

Insurance broker Maria Jamison said the insurance industry is a great place in which young women can carve out a career.

She started as support for an experienced broker and when the opportunity came to move up the career ladder she grabbed it with both hands. But like many people who make their living in the insurance industry, Maria said she virtually ‘fell into her job’.

She came from a background in the fitness sector and then worked in office management.

“This opening came up and I decided I’d go for it.”

Becoming a broker involved gaining certification and in-house training but study is ongoing to keep up-to-date with legal changes constant, Maria said. Insurance broking is all about building relationships, about understanding your client and about finding the best insurance solutions for their needs, Maria said.

“This job is about being a person’s advocate as well as their broker and that’s what I love about my job – the client interface.”

“We work for our clients, not the insurance company. We’re not affiliated to

any one insurer so we find the best cover for the client, what suits them best.”

Maria is part of a wave of change in the industry that was traditionally a male domain, and occasionally, she said, there will be clients who’re surprised to find their broker is a younger woman.

“It’s great to see more women coming into the industry and stepping out of support roles to establish a career. And it’s an exciting career because no two days are ever the same. Women can do this job and they can do it really well.”

The life of a broker in a provincial town is very different to that of her city counterparts, Maria said, as they rarely leave their offices. She is as likely to be sharing a cup of tea with a client as she is sitting behind a desk.

“I really believe in what we’re doing.

Sometimes it takes a while to find what’s right for a client and sometimes you need to get down to the nitty-gritty and find that.”

And like many career women, Maria is juggling work with raising a family. She has a 15 year old and a 9 year old and while at times she has half a dozen balls in the air it all seems to work, most of the time.

When considering Insurance requirements it’s best to use a team you can trust.

Carolyn Bond-Hood and Kate Rotch Grant Hood Contracting Business owner and office manager

Grant Hood Contracting might be an earthmoving business, but it’s a business with heart, one where family comes first.

Co-Director Carolyn Bond-Hood knows just how important it is for staff to know that, in a family crisis or for an important family event, taking time off should be easy; she’s been a working mum with young children.

When she, and husband Grant, started their business 17 years ago the couple had three school age children. And for Carolyn that meant adding the challenge of a new business to being a full-time mum.

“This involved a lot of night work after the kids had gone to bed. It was all paper based then so the kids became very good at putting paper in envelopes.”

When you’re juggling two jobs, every moment is precious and Carolyn recalls writing cheques while she was sitting pool-side waiting for the children to finish swimming lessons.

“And if Grant needed anything the kids would be thrown in the truck and we’d have to head out and deliver it,” she said.

Her official role today is HR, finance – and all the jobs no one else wants to do.

Initially their business employed three; today it has 22 on the payroll.

That growth now sees the business

working on contracts across the South Island. And that means there are many weeks when Grant is away and Carolyn adds day-to-day running of the business to her workload.

She moved aside a large slice of her work five years ago when Kate Rotch joined the team as office manager. Kate takes care of payroll and a string of jobs that’s so long and varied it would struggle to fit on a sheet of A3 paper.

She loves what she does, loves being part of the Grant Hood team and the challenges that come knowing that every day will be different. As Carolyn did 17 years ago, Kate juggles work with raising a young family, but she says the company philosophy of putting family first makes the juggling act much easier.

Grant and Carolyn’s children, Leighton, Olivia and Joshua, are also involved in the business and that’s important in understanding that with a family business the buck stops with the entire family, Carolyn said. As a family and as business owners, she said, they are very aware of their responsibilities to staff.

“We know a lot of people rely on us to pay their mortgage and to put food on the table, but most importantly to send their loved ones home safely at the end of each day.

Kate Davidson Creative Acupuncture Business owner

Kate Davidson has a mission: to use acupuncture and natural medicine to help women heal themselves. She has recently opened her acupuncture business, Creative Acupuncture, in Ashburton.

“People often ask ‘how does acupuncture work?” she says. “It reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and relieves pain. Acupuncture also switches the body into rest and relaxation mode, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and eliciting a healing response. The body is miraculous and knows how it heal itself. Acupuncture helps it do this. Unlike conventional medicine, acupuncture is non-invasive with minimal to no adverse side-effects”.

Kate has a special interest in three key areas: gynaecology, fertility, and pregnancy (including post-partum). Most people go to see an acupuncturist for musculoskeletal injuries like tennis elbow or frozen shoulder but this limiting view leaves out a range of other conditions including endometriosis and adenomyosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), menopausal hot flushes, menopausal-induced insomnia, natural fertility, assisted reproductive technology (ART), pre-labour and postpartum care.

Acupuncture can help those with endometriosis and adenomyosis by reducing chronic pain as well as decreasing inflammation which proliferates these condi-

tions. Lifestyle changes will also support the acupuncture. For those trying to conceive, acupuncture reduces stress and boosts our feel-good endorphins, regulates the menstrual cycle, and improves blood flow to the pelvic area, namely the ovaries, uterus and endometrial lining.

Pre-labour care starts at approximately 36 weeks and studies have shown acupuncture can reduce the time a woman spends in labour.

Kate will devise a tailored treatment plan for you focussing on three main areas: acupuncture, natural medicine (including food), and inspired action. The latter is to empower you to take control of your own health and improve your well-being in your daily life. This treatment plan is carefully monitored to ensure progress is being made.

Kate grew up in Ashburton but spent several years in Australia where she completed her health science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the end of her study, she travelled to China and completed a six-week internship at an integrated Chinese medicine hospital in Chengdu. She also practiced acupuncture in Sydney in a medical centre as well as establishing her own business.

Kate always had a return to Ashburton in mind and moved home where she has now established Creative Acupuncture, mark two.”

Business owner

Beauty and skin care clinic business owner Di Thomas planned to establish a small business she could run part time from home; 18 years down the track she’s merged two well established businesses with a team of four staff and life has never been busier.

While the relaxed life where she could paint, bake and do a little beauty therapy on the side never quite panned out as planned, Di said she still loves every minute of her work.

Di says that looking back, working in the beauty industry while she and husband Steve were raising their two sons and her nephew, provided her with female time in a male dominated household. She had originally worked as a massage therapist while working in retail, and while the leap to becoming a business owner was daunting it’s a decision she’s never regretted.

“I live, eat and breathe this, it’s my passion. I just love seeing my clients leave happy,” Di said.

Spending time and money for beauty treatments are as much about how you feel after a pampering session as it is the visible benefits you gain, she said.

Over the past 18 years Di has moved her business from home, to Ashburton’s

inner town and finally to Tancred Street where both Body n’ Beauty Worx and Mirror Image operate from a charming villa, with Di and Steve’s new home nestled neatly behind.

Today she offers a wide range of treatments including facials, a spray tan room, make-up studio, massage therapy and a range of advanced skin treatments.

“Everything to do with beauty we do.

This industry has come a long way from when I started Back then it was really just massage, eyebrows, waxing, nails and pedicures.”

She also has a number of consultants who bring their own specialised treatments to her business as required.

Over the years Di has seen significant growth in the numbers of women who are prepared to invest money in making sure they look the best they can.

“Our clientele increases every year as people realise how important it is to

look after themselves. Women want to look younger,” she said.

Some come for something as simple as an eyebrow tint or shape but, once they gain confidence in their therapist, they’ll often look for other treatments, Di said.

One thing that hasn’t changed, over the years, is Di’s commitment to using quality products and sticking with the best has earned her a platinum award from Dermalogica.

For clients that means a solid guarantee that comes from a certified salon using internationally recognised products, she said.

Di’s team of therapists all hold qualifications and at the moment she is training two apprentices, one of which is almost qualified.

‘This is quite new, training on the job but it works so well as they can’t get the experience at beauty school they’ll get on the job,” she said.

IPL Facial Rejuvenation

Apprentices start on the absolute basics, usually with nails and build up from there, recruiting friends and family as their models as they learn new skills.

It takes a year to complete the first level qualification and a further year to qualify in advanced treatments such as electrolysis and IPL. Her commitment to her businesses and her clients is total, but Di said she is also committed to having time for herself. And that includes mountain biking, walking, going to the gym and having wines with girlfriends.

“Women work hard and we need to take time for ourselves, even if it’s just having an eyebrow shape.”

A visit to a beauty therapist is an opportunity for a busy woman to sit back, relax, do absolutely nothing and be pampered, she said.

Looking to the future, Di has no plans for expansion and she knows the day will come when she’ll need to consider selling if she wants to have more time for herself and Steve.

They moved to Ashburton 25 years ago, never imagining they’d stay; today she said, they love the place they call home.

Emmily Harmer Emmily Harmer Photography and Picture Framing

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Business owner

When it comes to passion, Emmily Harmer has it in spades.

She’s never happier than when behind a camera, capturing images of families, individuals and people simply being themselves.

From an early age Emmily was fascinated by cameras and the images they could capture but it would take marriage, a move to the country and motherhood before she turned a hobby into a business “I was a town girl who married a country boy and I kept getting told off because, when we were out on the farm, I was always taking photos rather than working,” Emmily said.

Children Madilyn and Flynn, now 10 and eight, provided Emmily with captive subjects but rather than satisfying her need to capture special moments, the birth of her children fuelled her desire to do more with her camera.

About six years ago she decided it was time to establish her own studio in a backroom on West Street. When the opportunity came to take over the entire building, Emmily grabbed it and her business now includes a studio, photo framing business and a street front shop.

FAMILY PHOTO TAKEN BY EMMILY

She’s self taught but has invested heavily in time and money to hone her skills from the best, attending workshops in Australia and the United States. Currently she works with an American mentor.

Portraits are her first love – families, individuals, it doesn’t matter. What is important is seeing the transformation that happens when she’s behind the lens. It’s all about having fun, getting people to relax and to enjoy what should be a special time, she said.

And Emmily goes out of her way to ensure her clients are relaxed. There’s a hair and make-up studio, rack after rack of clothing if people want to try different styles, and there are always nibbles and refreshments.

“For me it’s important to take the time to build a relationship with people you’re working with. The hair and the make-up, they add to the experience.”

While she prefers to shoot in her studio, she’s happy to travel to locations that may be special to her clients. “ I have quite a few rural families who want photos on trucks or in crops and they’re always a lot of fun.”

She also works on projects for specific events. A series for the suffrage anniversary gave her first large exhibition at the Ashburton Museum.

She followed up with a Faces of Women project and has just completed a series to celebrate EA Networks gym’s fourth birthday.

Those projects are challenging but they’re an incredible opportunity to get to know people, she said.

The next one involves an old chair placed in her studio. She’s capturing images of anyone and everyone sitting in that chair and those photos will become the subjects of her first book.

“I love what I do. When I’m behind the camera I almost feel like a different person.”

While she’s passionate about portraiture, that doesn’t extend

to weddings or newborns. They’re specialist fields and Ashburton already has good photographers working in those areas, she said.

“And I wouldn’t have the patience.”

With her framing business Emmily becomes a one- stop-photo-shop.

Currently she loves folio boxes that can contain up to 25 photos and sit on a coffee table or bookshelf.

And she prefers frames to prints on canvas saying there’s no comparison when it comes to quality.

“I’m quite passionate about printing.

You won’t just get a USB from me, you’ll get a professionally printed photo that will last a life time. They’re not just for you, they’re for the future, they’re heirlooms. I want photos to be treasured and kept.”

She admits to being impulsive and said that will see her running a seminar for business women in Ashburton in July next year as part of her Women in Business Facebook group of around 240 women.

Those women have so much potential but many never go to conferences. That, Emmily said, motivated her to bring a conference to them.

“I never think why not, I just do it.”

Toni May Silk Estate

Woman in business 2019

PHOTO SUPPLIED

Business owner When it comes to her marquee and hire business Silk Estate Ltd, owner Toni May is usually the beautifully dressed front person but if needed, she could also be on the end of a jack hammer or driving a forklift.

For 10 years she’s been providing top of the line marquees and hire equipment for events around Canterbury and says she loves her business as much today as she did on day one.

It’s a huge commitment of time and money, but knowing you’ve played a vital role in someone’s wedding or major event comes with huge rewards, she said.

Creating a business that prides itself on quality means owning and caring for every item used and that includes not just tables, chairs, cutlery and china, but also chillers, quality restrooms, a dancefloor and a stage (both sourced in America.)

“I feel we’re a bespoke provider, it’s a niche market we do and we provide full support, we don’t just hire a marquee.

We plan from go to whoa.”

Her business is now spread over several sites, with the largest a warehouse storing every possible item needed for a wedding – large or small.

Toni said people tended to book well

in advance, but inevitably there were clashes of dates.

“I’ll go out of my way to make it happen I’ve had challenges and I’ve had to find solutions, but I say yes and then work out how it will happen.”

She plans meticulously to avoid any last minute hiccoughs and likes to have a marquee set up with a day to spare before the wedding to avoid any stress for a bride.

“We don’t cut corners and we’re usually there on the night and that means clients don’t have to worry. I want everything to be absolutely right and I feel very privileged to share in their celebration.”

Over the years Toni said she has erected marquees across Canterbury and the West Coast, including some challenging locations.

When a wedding is over and the last guest leaves, for Toni and her team there’s a day or two of work dismantling a site and cleaning, sterilising and packing away equipment usually for the following weekend.

Quality is her byword but Toni said that doesn’t mean a wedding has to be expensive. She caters for all budgets and all tastes.

Jen Muir SKIP-2-IT Flooring Xtra Co-owner

When one partner is happy running the shop and the other running the books, then it’s a business marriage made in heaven.

Jen Muir came on board the Flooring Xtra team 20 years ago and quickly took over the financial side of the business husband Skip had started six years earlier.

“We’ve got different strengths and we work quite well together but we have very defined roles. He runs the shop and the layers and my background’s in accountancy so I do the finances, management stuff and the processes on how the Offer ends shop should run,” she said.

She brought a wealth of experience to their business, with four years at Leech & Partners, a stint overseas, time at Ashburton Hospital and another stint *Terms and conditions apply

at Leech & Partners.

It had been Skip’s business dream to marry an accountant, but it was a few weeks into their relationship before he realised he had a chance of getting what he’d wished for, Jen said.

Not working on the shop floor was a strategic advantage to the business, Jen said.

“Because I don’t know the products I walk in and see it from a customer’s perspective.”

Stepping away from the business was important and so was learning from others, Jen said.

“Our philosophy is, someone is doing it better than us, who are they, what are they doing, why is it working and can we implement it? Everything we do is about making it easier for our customers.”

In addition to the business, Jen gives time to two school boards, other sports organisations and as a sports administrator. As a business they sponsor a number of sports and events.

“Part of why we run the business is we believe there’s an obligation in a small town Offer to give back. People support us ends and it’s up to us to support the commuNov. 20th nity Offer when we can.”

Business owner

When she was considering a career, dentistry was the obvious choice for Minu Abraham – her parents are both dentists and now both she, her sister and her brother-in-law work in the same profession.

In 2017 Minu bought Burnett Street dental after working for predecessor Peter Rumping. She trained in India and moved to New Zealand in 2006 with her husband, an IT consultant. The birth of the couple’s first child, 13 years ago, meant Minu put her career on hold, but a few years later she decided to study towards her New Zealand registration exams at Otago University.

She graduated and gained a position in Christchurch in 2011. Today Minu has added to her family with daughters of four-year and one-year and that means life is exceptionally busy. Add to that her daily commute from Rolleston and she has plenty of balls in the air every day.

Buying an existing practice means you’re also buying a client base, but there’s always a period where those clients are checking you out, she said.

“Most have done that now and seem to think I’m all right.” While her books are open for new patients, Minu said the practice can get very busy and, with that

in mind, she’s considering taking on a second dentist. It’s a career she loves because it has the potential to help people.

“I like being able to put a nice smile on their faces,” she said. She’s unsure whether any of her three children will become dentists but said her four-year old is currently the one who keeps asking questions about the job. While dentistry was once the domain of men, there are now plenty of women practicing, Minu said, and they have the advantage of smaller hands and, possibly, greater empathy with nervous patients.

“It’s important to build up a rapport with your patients. People say they hate the dentist but I want them to have a pleasant experience. I do all I can to put them at ease.”

Minu is dedicated to providing high quality dental care and commits much of her time to continuing professional development to ensure that her patients receive the best treatments available in dentistry. She is interested in all aspects of dentistry especially interested in using minimally invasive procedures that emulate the nature of patients’ teeth.

She enjoys treating nervous patients and changing their often-unfavorable opinion of dental treatment.

one reply, from Redmayne-Bentley.

“When I completed my first exam which qualified me to be able to deal on the stock market they offered me a job once I’d completed my degree”, she said.

That was in 1997 in time for the heady years of the Dot Com boom.

“I’m not sure how we did that with only a couple of computers in the office.

Business increased six fold and the years to follow were a sharp learning curve and certainly stood me in good stead for the major events head, including the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.”

“I’d gained extensive experience managing portfolios for a wide variety of clients including individuals, family wealth, companies, trusts and charities.

I also managed a large portfolio for a Quaker charity which opened up my interest in more ethical investments and led me to help other charities incorporate ethical elements into their portfolios,” she said.

During her time in the UK she was also involved in television and radio interviews on Bloomberg and CNBC as a financial commentator but that was work she definitely did not enjoy.

“Being a young female in what was

Local focus, global view

still a very much male dominated industry ticked all the diversity boxes, but I hated it. I always slept very little the night before due to terrible nerves.”

After 20 years at Redmayne-Bentley she was approached to set up an asset management company.

Knowing she would be moving to New Zealand, Michelle decided to take on what she describes as the ultimate challenge.

We built Progeny Asset Management which provides integrated financial planning, legal and asset management solutions for private clients, businesses, family offices and charities and it was born out of an ambition to create the first multi-service professional platform,” Michelle said.

She retained links with the company after her move to New Zealand, continuing to work remotely.

“This included some very late nights speaking to the UK but provided me with the flexibility to ensure the family settled into their new lives here. Very different from commuting to the city, working long hours and home again. I could actually take the boys to school and go to school functions.”

Knowing she would be moving to New

Zealand, Michelle completed her New Zealand qualifications as an Authorised Financial Adviser and his now enjoying meeting local professionals and investors.

Currently a busy part of her role is offering advice to people to improve bank deposit returns while managing risk.

“I’m enjoying living here so much.

It’s much more laid back and there is a far better work-life balance than in the UK. I know it’ll be a slow burn here till people get to know me and trust me; I’m aware it’ll take time for business to build.”

When Michelle’s grandfather gave her a small parcel of British Gas and British Telecom shares in the 1980s he laid the foundation for a career that would eventually take Michelle Parkin from the UK to New Zealand.

Michelle joined Forsyth Barr Ashburton as an Investment Adviser in February, bringing with her 23 years experience with Leeds based Redmayne-Bentley and Progeny Asset Management.

Relocation to Ashburton had always been on the radar for Michelle and Kiwi husband Scott, and the couple and their two sons are now settled at Lake Hood.

Eighteen months after their arrival, Michelle decided it was time to return to the workforce.

“Knowing we would move to Ashburton, I had been in contact with Forsyth Barr for many years. One of my colleagues from Redmayne-Bentley moved to New Zealand 13 years ago and being a small world ended up working for Forsyth Barr in Ashburton,” she said.

Tracey Jones Agstaff and Canstaff

Partners

Business co-owner

In 2001 Tracey Jones and husband Matt started what was a small local recruitment business focused on agricultural staffing.

At the time Matt was working as a shepherd with a team of dogs and found he was so busy he was turning work away.

Tracey said from there the idea was sparked that there was a potential business that could be developed by employing other shepherds on contract. Tracey then began developing the model of creating opportunities at both ends – for farmers seeking good staff and employees looking for placements on farms. So Agstaff was born.

As Agstaff grew so too did Tracey’s knowledge of the industry, which eventually led to a new opportunity which was the creation of an addition company. This time Canstaff was developed as a sister recruitment company with a focus on manufacturing and trade services.

“What we learned from watching Agstaff grow gave us the confidence to apply the same model to a different space in recruitment,” Tracey said.

As both companies grew to capacity locally Tracey began to expand, with an initial phase, through Canterbury which now sees Agstaff offices nationwide as far as Pukekohe.

Canstaff has also grown, with international offices in Australia, Philippines, Canada, Switzerland and, recently, a first office in the UK with London opening earlier this year. As the businesses have grown from small local operations into international brands Tracey has been leading all areas of the companies’ growth and drives those processes as operations manager.

“Every time a new office is opened or an expansion of capability takes place I assess and implement the necessary infrastructure, including scouting locations, recruitment of our own staff and accounting for our marketing and sponsorships to connect with a new audience or potential clients and candidates,” Tracey said.

Tracey’s worklife is shared between the Ashburton and Christchurch offices, with homelife centred in Kirwee with Matt and three girls (aged 12, 14, and 16).

Tracey still has a local life while running an international business operation and says it’s possible through a strong management network of key people who drive the business initiatives set out in Tracey’s management plans. From a single candidate placed on a single farm, both Agstaff and Canstaff continue to grow with well over 500 candidates actively in roles around the country at any given time.

Jane Argyle-Reed and Emma Taylor are more than partners in Ashburton legal firm Argyle Welsh Finnigan (AWF) they’re friends, committed lawyers and mothers who share a deep commitment to their chosen profession.

Jane studied law at Otago University, Emma at Canterbury, both practised elsewhere and neither had moving (in Jane’s case, returning home) to Ashburton as a top priority. The opportunities presented themselves and first Jane and then Emma joined the AWF firm. They’re the only two females among a partnership team of five with Jane’s father Alister the company’s senior partner. Jane was working for a large law firm in Christchurch in litigation, part of a team acting for large companies.

“The kind of work I was doing I never saw people. I felt like I spent my day dealing with corporates so I chose to come to and practice law in Ashburton,” she said.

Her specialist field is employment and relationship property while Emma specialises in estates and trusts. She began practising in the rural department of a firm in Invercargill before relocating to Ashburton. Both women say the interaction with clients is one of the most satisfying parts of their work, knowing they’re

helping them resolve often complex issues. They strive to make that interaction as comfortable and easy as possible.

“I have a lot of elderly clients and it’s very important for them to feel comfortable, and if they’re not comfortable in our environment we’ll go to them,” Emma said. The two partners said they and the firm are committed to making the workplace as easy as possible for staff with young family commitments but this must always mean it is seamless for clients in terms of the flow of information and services. They’re also supportive of older staff who may want to reduce their hours.

“It’s about meeting staff needs without compromising client service because we don’t want to lose knowledge, experience and relationships,” Jane said.

Jane has two children aged five and seven years and Emma three, aged two, four and seven years and both say they’d encourage their children into law – if that’s what they wanted.

As a firm, Jane said AWF was very community focused and acted for a large number of community groups and one of its strengths was that all its more than 30 staff are part of the Mid Canterbury community.

Julie Srhoy, Deborah Roberts and Tracey Henderson

Real Estate New Zealand Real estate salespeople

Julie Srhoy, Deborah Roberts and Tracey Henderson are flying the flag for women, selling homes for Real Estate New Zealand.

The trio are part of a four-woman sales team and say that, while they work in a competitive industry, they’re always there to support one another.

They’re firm believers in women who are also mums having an edge when it comes to juggling the many balls that are often in the air when you’re negotiating a house sale.

“As mums we’re doing this all the time, Tracey said.

While her children are now adults, she said they still take a bit of time and work”.

She also fits in her position as president of Hampstead’s rugby section.

“When I’m not selling houses or at rugby, I do try to spend a bit of time with my family – and cook.”

Julie has two children, aged 16 and 13, and both are competitive mountainbikers. For her that means fitting in a heavy schedule of events and travelling with her children around the demands of her work.

For Deborah, there’s a seven-year-old’s needs that are part of her juggling act.

Lucia Talbot Talbot Security Group Business co-owner

When she’s not working she’ll trail bike ride or ski with her family.

For all three busy mums, it means covering for one another at open homes, but with a bit of give and take it all seems to work relatively seamlessly, they said.

“That juggling is something women seem to do naturally,” Tracey said.

They love what they do, love the challenges that come with finding the right buyers for the right homes and, while that can be challenging at times, it’s also immensely rewarding, particularly when you hand over the keys to a first-home buyer, they said.

It’s always a thrill seeing how excited they were and knowing you’d been part of that journey, Julie said.

Matching people to homes was all about reading people and understanding what they were looking for in a home, she said.

Dealing with a wide range of people and personalities makes real estate an industry that’s filled with variety, Tracey said.

“It’s all about people and helping people.”

And part of that is getting out, meeting people and making contacts, Deborah said.

Ashleigh Rushton Rushton Marketing

Business owner

Almost five years ago Ashleigh Rushton decided to toss in her guaranteed weekly pay cheque, take the plunge and set up her own business.

It was a leap of faith, one that came with no guarantees but one that almost five years down the track has paid off in spades.

After three years as an advertising consultant with the Ashburton Guardian, Ashleigh realised many small businesses struggled to understand how to promote their business.

“These were the small mum and dad businesses, the owner operated business who didn’t know what to do about marketing,” she said.

There was a clear gap in the market, Ashleigh knew the time was right to take the plunge, walk away from security and step out on her own.

“I set this up more than four years ago and in the beginning I thought, if I could survive for five years I’d be happy. We’re almost there and we’re flying,” she said.

“It was exciting rather than scary and I thought, what’s the worst that can happen? Now it’s probably more nerve wrecking because I’m responsible for two kids and two staff.”

Over those years Rushton Marketing

has grown from sole operator to a three woman business. Cheri Wills takes care of social media while Sara Stephens is contracted for web design.

“I go out, meet clients and work with them to identify their needs. To do this we need to know what makes their business tick, how it works. We find their target audience and then go away and develop a strategy for them,” she said.

MARKETING m a d e e a sy .

Number one priority is building good, strong and positive relationships with her clients.

“We’re real people who live in the real world and we’re genuinely interested in their business.”

For Ashleigh that means keeping grounded. She’s not interested in a large street front office, running her business from home and a spare office in husband Dan’s business, AIS. “We operate at a relatable level.

We’re doing just what our clients are doing, making a living for our families.”

While they provide marketing solutions across all media, the majority of inquiries are around social media.

“It’s such a foreign concept for a lot of businesses. They might use it at home, but they’re not sure how it works for a business, There’s always a huge sense of relief for them in knowing someone is taking the whole marketing package and making it work. They don’t have to deal with anyone other than us.”

Those clients range from sole operators to those with many staff.

Ashleigh juggles two children, two year old Max and seven month old Poppy, while Sara juggles four – Zac, 10, Lachlan nine, Hannah, seven and

Florence seven months.

Sara works from home and said she’s built strong relationships with her clients.

“A lot of my clients have become friends. You’re invested in their business and you want that business to grow as much as they do,” she said.

Cheri works on social media on their clients’ behalf, while Ashleigh spends most of her time working as an off-site marketing manager for clients.

That two of the team are mothers with young children means they can connect with many of their clients who are also juggling multiple tasks, Ashleigh said.

“It’s important to us to connect with people, to strike a chord. If our clients are winning, then we’re winning.”

On a personal level, Ashleigh said she is motivated to help other women to work while still meeting their family commitments and she’s driven to help young women to set goals, to aim high and to give things a go.

For both Ashleigh and Sara, it’s important they set good examples for their children, for their children to understand that with hard work anything is possible.

Jo Metcalf Memory Funerals Business owner

Making your final wishes known might sound morbid, but for grieving families, that knowledge takes a great deal of stress out of a very emotional occasion, says funeral director Jo Metcalf.

She’s been in the industry for 10 years, working in Temuka and Geraldine and established Memory Funerals in Ashburton two years ago.

“I feel very comfortable in this industry.

The more I did the more I liked it, not just looking after the deceased but their families as well,” she said.

Funerals had changed quite dramatically, Jo said and were no longer always solemn occasions with organ music and hymns.

“Now we’re very creative, we talk a lot about the person. It’s their life we’re celebrating and that all helps the grieving process,” she said.

They could be any style and could be held virtually anywhere and the more knowledge a family had the better the event could reflect the life of the person who had died, Jo said.

Making your wishes known could also avoid things being done and said you would not have wanted.

Business owner “If you’ve always said ‘I wouldn’t be seen dead in that dress’ make sure someone knows so you’re not wearing it at your funeral.”

Jo talks to many community groups and organisations.

“It’s about getting people talking. It’s about making it easier for your family, it’s not morbid. I’ll do as much as we can to accommodate their wishes right up to the moment the service starts,” she said.

She has a small on-site chapel but will travel to where ever a family wishes a service to be held and she believes holding a service of some kind is an important part of the grieving process.

While a funeral director was a professional, there were times when they too were affected by grief of others and it was very important to do their job with compassion, she said.

“If you’re walking a casket out of a venue and you hear children crying it can be pretty hard to hold it together.

Her children are unfazed by having a mother who is a funeral director and it sometimes becomes a family affair as they hand out service sheets, run music and power point displays if needed.

With every patient who walks through the door of Nicole Elliot’s health care studio, her aim is to help them gain a body where every part works in unison.

As a chiropractor, Nicole’s patients arrive with a range of aches and pains.

To treat those problems and gain long term results involves ensuring her patients have a healthy, functioning spine.

The seeds of her career were sown early after her experience as a child receiving treatment from a chiropractor that inspired her to make a career working with the body.

A year studying health science and four years at Auckland’s Chiropractic College and she knew she’d made the perfect choice.

Today, after working in Dunedin, Tauranga and Timaru, Nicole has set up business in Ashburton.

A chiropractor’s job is to look at the whole body, to get it functioning as it should and when that occurs the pain will go, Nicole said.

“We look at the overall function of your body. People come in with specific pain, but we’ll look at the whole body because it’s all connected. Everything comes from the spine.”

Treatment can be carried out in several ways from traditional manipulation with hands to the use of an instrument called an Activator which is is very low force.

My main goal is for people to feel comfortable and happy with the adjustment. Education is a key element in a chiropractor’s work.

“We live in our bodies without understanding how they work. My job is to educate people on how and why it is important to keep their body moving the way it should move. Your spine and joints should all work in certain ways,” Nicole said.

She takes a whole of body approach to health care and said it’s important people understand how good their body can feel.

The pain associated with a body that is not functioning properly does not arrive overnight.

It’s a bit like failing to clean your teeth, a cavity won’t form overnight, she said.

“It’s the same with your spine.

If you don’t look after it, you may run into problems and pain.”

“It’s the same with your spine. If you don’t look after it, it’ll hurt. It’s about the way you’ve treated your body but you don’t have to hurt.”

Melissa Shimmin Style Footwear Ltd

It’s a privilege to sell people the dream of a new home, say Bayleys salespeople Jenny Gray and Sarah Everist.

The pair are part of a three-woman sales team at the real estate company that includes Eliza Waszczak and together they say they’re part of an industry they love, an industry where women are now a strong force.

But it wasn’t always like that, Jenny says.

She’s been in the industry 37 years and for many of those years real estate was very much a male-dominated industry.

And like many who entered the industry it was at someone else’s prodding. She’d bought a house in town when she received a call from Colin McLeod wanting a woman on his team.

Jenny was surprised, as she knew little about the real estate industry.

In the farming community where she had spent most of her life, farmers hardly ever sold land, and if they bought, it was often a deal with a neighbour.

In the early days you needed a large car as the purchasers came with you, you could be out showing properties most of the day, it was a free-for-all! No sole agencies then!

If you love shoes, then making your living as a owner of a fashion footwear business means every day is a good day at work, says Style Footwear owner Melissa Shimmin She has been in the business of putting stylish, comfortable footwear on feet for 6 years and says it still gives her pleasure to see customers buy shoes that put a smile on their face.

Melissa & husband Brian brought long established Ashburton shoe business Smiths Shoes in 2013, bringing to the business a solid background of over 20 years in retail.“I have always wanted to own my own business, this came on the market and I thought, why not. I love shoes and it was the opportunity I had been waiting for” she said.

Over the past six years Melissa has grown the business to include a number of new brands. But the Ziera brand is still the heart of the business.

Melissa has always been guided by her personal shoe philosophy – comfort and style must go hand-in-hand.Specialising in providing orthotic footwear and wide to extra wide fittings and also stocking larger sizes as well as Intermediate and College approved shoes.“Bigger feet, or

A radio telephone in your vehicle kept you in touch with the office, the receptionist would phone the vendors to arrange appointments for you.

She remembers holding Ashburton’s first open home on Chalmers Avenue – no-one came except the neighbour.

Thirty-seven years down the track Jenny loves meeting and working with people. Relationships are what property sales are all about, she said.

Sarah is an industry newcomer, with just five months on the Bayleys team.

Buying her first home started her thinking about a career change and realising real estate was something she could do. Five months down the track she’s loving sales.

“I love the variety, I love meeting so many different people and the thrill of other people getting into their first home,” she said.

Both women see themselves as solution finders, finding ways to resolve issues that could be stumbling blocks to a purchase.

They say that understanding your client and having empathy are key in building the relationships that have the best chance of clinching a sale.

feet that need orthotics, it doesn’t mean you cant have stylish shoes” she said.

“We try to accommodate every request and we can usually make things work so everyone has shoes that are great to look at and are comfortable to wear.”

Melissa has now expanded her range to include handbags, scarves and jewellery.

She also carries an extensive range of shoe care products including old style Dubbin which she says is hard to beat as a waterproofing tool.“If you look after your shoes, they’ll last for a long time” Melissa and long term part-timer staff member Trudy Dalton take care of front of shop as well as buying each season’s range.

“Buying is fu n but when you’re buying you have to buy for all tastes, not just your own, however, we feel we know what our customers want”, Melissa said.

When it comes to her own footwear she loves boots, patent leather & slippers Her business now includes online customers from across New Zealand with a growing number of clients in Australia.

Angela Farr The China Shop

Rachael Redmond Kitchen Kapers

Manager

Passion, for Rachael Redmond and Angela Farr comes not just in selling their customers beautiful items, but in knowing those customers will cherish and use those items for years.

Rachael owns both Ashburton’s China Shop and Kitchen Kapers, Angela is her right-hand woman and for the pair those businesses are very much who they are as women.

When they were established by Rachael’s mother-in-law Shirley about 40 years ago, they were ahead of their time, but they were the right businesses in the right place, with a commitment to quality products.

And today, while, customers may have changed, Rachael said the fundamentals of selling good-quality items that will stand the test of time, has not.

Both Rachael and Angela have been part of the two businesses for about 20 years and say they’ve never lost their passion and enthusiasm for the beautiful, yet functional items they sell.

For them, however, there is far more to selling than the actual sale. They go to great lengths to educate their customers about the item they’ve bought, its use, how to care for it and often the process that has been part of

Ashburton Guardian 37

Business owner

its creation.

“It’s important people have a pleasant shopping experience, so that they can share our passion for our products. We are much more than a cash-and-wrap business,” Rachael said.

Over the years brands have come and gone from both shops, but there is a core of products and brands that are still as sought after today as they were when Shirley Redmond started each shop.

What has changed is that some products have adapted to modern tastes and consumer demands.

“The China Shop is not a little old ladies shop today, it has a huge range of

items and not everything is expensive,” Angela said.

People were still collecting china and crystal, and that includes younger people.

“People who have lovely things around make a home and that’s what we’re about, making a home,” she said.

There are always new fads, new trends in kitchen+related items, but Rachael said she is driven by practicality rather than fashion. And she’s not about encouraging people to buy things they do not need.

“We don’t sell things just because they’re a trend, we need to believe in what we sell. You don’t need to have everything,” Rachael said.

That practical approach, she said, is one of the keys to Kitchen Kapers’ success.

Greater environmental awareness was also showing up in products stocked in store and Rachael supports that.

She believes in the value of paying a little more at the outset for a product that will last many years rather than paying several times for the same product of lesser quality, that lasts a short time, and is then thrown away.

“We’re very mindful of what we buy,

we’re honest and truly believe what we’re selling is good.”

Whatever a person bought they should buy to use, rather than store in a cupboard, Rachael said.

“People like to have nice things to use on special occasions. But we tell them every day is special and to use their quality items every day and enjoy them.

If things look nice, you feel good and we want people to feel good.”

Glass and china did not have to be kept in a kitchen, those products could be happily at home in a bedroom or bathroom, Rachael said.

“I’ve seen a home where a crystal decanter was used to keep mouthwash.

It looked great.”

Both shops run wedding registers – with a difference.

“We get the bride and groom in our stores, talk with them and advise them about the things they will need. We make it a very personal occasion.”

They’ll wrap and deliver wedding gifts across Kitchen Kapers, the China Shop and the Swarovski store.

Their stores have an online presence and Facebook and Instagram are well used for both product promotion and education.

“I just want people to feel better.”

Lesley Coffey Essential Physiotherapy

PHOTO SUE NEWMAN 140519-SN-0005

Business owner

Lesley Coffey’s mission is to ensure every woman has the opportunity to have good pelvic health.

The trained physiotherapist’s specialty is helping women regain strength and health in their pelvic floor.

Those women could be pregnant mums or women for whom childbirth is a long time in the past.

Many, she says, simply put up with issues such as stress incontinence, prolapse or general pelvic floor dysfunction, accepting that is their lot in life. It’s not, Lesley said.

“My clinic is about all the things that can go wrong for women in their pelvic health, for women to understand that it’s not just part of childbirth. Don’t ignore your problem, there are things you can do about it.”

The comments Lesley most often hears from clients is that they were so relieved to find there are things they could do to improve pelvic floor weakness.

When Lesley started her classes and clinics for women she had two clients; within two weeks she was fully booked.

Most people come through referrals from friends or through Facebook.

Lesley designs her exercise programmes around the individual needs of each woman.

“It has to be an individual approach, even with classes. I like people to come in first for a one-on-one as that’s the only way I can make sure they’re breathing properly.”

It was also important to understand what each woman’s goals were post-delivery.

Some might want to run a marathon or get back to netball while others might just want to work on their mummy tummy, she said.

She offers a range of options from pre and post-natal classes, to pilates and general physio treatments.

She’s talked to GPs and practice nurses and said referrals are now coming from these areas.

“And I get a lot of women coming saying ‘my friend has been to you’.”

Her classes are limited to eight women so she can work individually with each and can encourage them where needed.

“If you want me to kick your arse I will, but if you want to have a chilled session then you can.”

Many of the exercises in her pre-natal classes were based around the movements a mother would make every day – picking up and carrying a baby or a washing basket, swivelling in a car to a child in a rear seat.

“In pregnancy you’re training for the biggest event of your life, then there’s the birth and you’re injured to some degree and then it’s about recovery and getting back to full fitness.”

And that doesn’t happen overnight, Lesley said.

“It’s very much an individual journey and a lot of people are surprised this is not a quick fix.”

Not every issue can be fixed through physio and Lesley will always recommend a client seeks another opinion if the problem is something that’s outside her area of expertise.

“I just want people to feel better.”

Strengthening your pelvic floor won’t happen quickly and it won’t happen without some hard work, she said.

“If you don’t take responsibility and accept you’re the one who has to do the work, it won’t get any better.”

Some take control of their own health, exercising at home instead of coming to class, but for others the small group exercise classes become part of their social network.

It’s fabulously rewarding work, Lesley said, when she sees women who have had pelvic pain, bladder leakage, stress incontinence, frequency urination problems notice the changes start to happen.

While her current focus is on pre and post-natal classes and physio, she plans to start working in the area of pre and postmenopause to help older women regain or maintain pelvic health into their older years.

Lesley is a mother of one, with a large family of animals as well and some days she finds herself juggling childcare and client needs, but she’s happy to put in the hours in her studio to ensure women with pelvic health issues can start their journey back to health.

The first step for many – seeking help – was often the hardest step, but Lesley said she does everything possible to help people feel at ease.

Facility manager and clinical nurse manager

Thirteen years ago Viv Williams had a dream – to make wellness accessible for all women.

She had been a member of Curves women’s gym in Hastings and with a move to Canterbury on the horizon, found herself wondering whether she had the courage to take the Curves idea with her.

She bit the bullet, bought the franchise and moved to Ashburton. Then she took her first look at the building she planned to use and wondered how she could ever turn an old restaurant and bar into a place that would welcome women who wanted to change their lives.

‘It was painted dark brown and black and the carpet was so bad your shoes stuck to it,” she said.

In March 2006 she opened the gym’s doors; 13 years down the track she’s still happy to be changing women’s lives, helping them achieve wellness and fitness goals.

“The potential to change lives overwhelmed me then and it still overwhelms me today. Some of the women who come here wouldn’t go anywhere else, it opens up opportunities that a lot of women find manageable.”

There’s no judgement at Curves,

there are no mirrors in the gym area and members wear whatever they’re comfortable exercising in. The environment is welcoming, definitely not overwhelming.

“It’s a safe environment for women who may not feel as strong or confident about their appearance as they have in the past. I get a real buzz out of the way Curves changes lives positively.”

For many members Curves becomes a community place where they make friends and where staff know members and work with them on the circuit.

“Our aim is simple, it’s to make a difference in their health and fitness, lessening health risks through strength training.”

Members range in age from 16 to 82 and Curves takes pride in its membership retention. Most members have a monthly consultation that helps them set goals for the coming month – and they’re not just vague goals, each has to be specific with details around how they will be achieved.

She accepts that motivation is the greatest hurdle most women have to overcome particularly around exercise.

“It’s not easy, but being unwell is not easy either.”

Donna Coxshall and Cathy Salcedo say they have the perfect jobs.

The pair lead the Terrace View Retirement Village team with Donna taking care of the business side of things as facility manager and Cathy the frontline with residents as clinical nurse manager.

It’s a partnership that works perfectly and plays to their individual strengths and training.

Donna has been involved in the aged care sector for many years, always in management positions and says it’s an industry she loves and feels privileged to be a part of.

She has a strong back ground in community care.

Cathy came to New Zealand from the Philippines nine years ago, bringing with her several years experience working as a registered nurse. Like most overseas trained nurses, she had to undergo competency training to ensure she was working at an appropriate level for New Zealand and this was completed at Burwood Hospital. Prior to coming to Terrace View she also worked as a registered nurse in aged care facilities and said that’s now the area of work where her heart is.

affinity with them,” she said.

Nursing Culture is a lot different in New Zealand than the Philippines, Cathy said.

“There we only deal with acute health care, long term care is generally done at home,” she said.

In the Philippines Cathy worked as a company nurse in the construction industry.

She came to New Zealand for career opportunities and says she’s found exactly what she’d been looking for.

Donna and Cathy both started working at Terrace View three years ago and say they’ve formed a great team.

“Our two sets of skills are part of what makes the partnership work well in an industry that is always changing to meet the needs of the residents. Our model is good and very workable,” Donna said.

But it’s not just the team at the top that makes Terrace View a great place to work, it’s the staff and residents who are really the heart of the village, she said.

Everyone on staff is committed to a care philosophy that puts residents first, front and foremost in everything that is done, every day, Donna said.

“It’s such a privilege to have the opportunity to care for someone else’s loved ones.”

Sue Prowse Rosebank Residential Care

Manager

Being part of a team of people caring for the elderly is a huge privilege says Rosebank manager Sue Prowse.

She’s been leading that team for 14 years, arriving in Ashburton with a wealth of experience as an intensive care nurse, in palliative care, as a district health board manager and in the aged-care sector.

Early in her career, aged-care and Ashburton were as far off her career radar as they could be but, today, Sue says she loves her job and enjoys working with the 80 people who are on her staff.

After her Palmerston North training, she spent several years working overseas as an intensive care nurse.

“That work sparked my love of travel and seeing other ways of life. Intensive care was very pressured and there was a lot of responsibility but I enjoyed it and the opportunities it gave me,” she said.

When she returned to New Zealand Sue studied, became qualified in palliative care and worked in the Wellington community for several years.

Management was never something she’d considered, but she was encour-

aged to apply for a position with a district health board. She was successful and started down a new career path, one that would ultimately lead to Ashburton.

“I never thought I’d come to the South Island to live, but I came for this job 14 years ago and I still very much enjoy the community and the role. It’s a real privilege looking after people at the end of their life, a vulnerable part of their lives.”

Management for Sue is not just about the people in care, it’s also about her staff.

“They’re very much a part of everything I do.”

In terms of quality care for the aged, respect is key, both for residents and with staff for one another, she said.

Rosebank is one of the few privately owned care facilities in New Zealand.

That it has thrived over its 28 year life has been down to changing and adapting to meet new expectations within the sector, Sue said.

It was important a care facility remained an active part of its community and Rosebank’s involvement comes in sponsoring events.

Sarah Crispin and Meg Appleby are business partners separated by thousands of kilometres, but it’s a business relationship that works to perfection.

The two women, Sarah a graphic designer and Meg a developer are the brains behind Crisp Apple, a website design and development company.

It’s a business that neatly marries their two skill sets and one that transcends geographical boundaries.

Seven years ago the pair were running (and still run) their own businesses, decided they had complementary skills that could form the heart of a joint venture and Crisp Apple was born.

Their focus is working with businesses of all sizes to provide them with a website that not only looks good, but creates a functional and effective user experience, all while meeting their online needs.

“Like your business, your website needs to evolve,” Meg said. They also update existing websites for clients.

Their clients range from larger companies with extensive websites to small one-man businesses who want a simple and effective web presence.

Knowing that many smaller businesses understand the value of a website, but

don’t often know how to make it happen, Sarah and Meg are releasing a new package to serve the trade market, they’re calling it ‘The Toolbox - Websites for Tradies’.

They are a series of entry level website packages that are 100% responsive, easy to update, function well and meet the trade customers individual needs.

“We’ll make designing, writing and launching a website for their business as easy as tightening a loose washer”. Sarah said.

While the package is entry level, it still offers options that ensures every website is unique.

It’s all about making it as easy as possible for every tradie to have a website that works for them and their customers.

Meg’s background is in languages, she speaks Russian and Spanish. Learning code, she said was similar to learning a language. She lives in Auckland with her sister and between them they home school their six children.

Sarah is the creative director of local business Crispin Design, her team of talented designers provide; branding, marketing and signage design solutions to companies in Ashburton and nationwide.

Maxine Whiting House of Travel Business owner

Maxine Whiting is just as passionate about the travel industry now as she was when she started her first afterschool job with Mt Cook Travel in Methven.

Decades down the track the Ashburton House of Travel owner said that from day one she has loved nothing more than helping people book overseas trips that for many are the fulfilment of long held dreams.

Maxine spent two years working in Christchurch for Mt Cook Travel before returning home to what was then Dalgety Travel, working alongside Kay Haines.

When Kay decided to set up her own business, Maxine took the plunge with her.

“It was a bold move, a huge step for Kay and me, but I believe it worked because the business was owneroperated and Kay was well known.”

House of Travel was born in 1987 with Ashburton becoming the fifth to trade under the national umbrella. And that owner operator model has been the key to House of Travel’s long life in the industry, Maxine said.

Her ultimate dream was always to be owner rather than employee but it

proved to be a dream that was a long time in the making.

“I served an apprenticeship of 20 years but eventually I bought part of Kay’s shareholding and then after two years I bought the rest of her shares,” she said.

Over the years travel has changed dramatically. Gone are the days when travel was seen as prestigious and people went on a six to eight week European tour when they retired. Today more people were travelling more often and opting for comfort over formality, Maxine said.

She might have more than three decades helping people realise their travel dreams but she’s still passionate

about the industry and loves every moment of the job.

“I never get up in the morning and think I don’t want to go to work’.”

The buzz comes from knowing you’re helping clients plan very special and very personal events in their lives.

“We really enjoy filling the gaps for people, looking at options and we love doing the research when people want to go somewhere different.”

She has a huge base of loyal customers, and a team of long serving staff.

“The success of this business has everything to do with my team,” she said.

The internet and the ability for people to book their own holidays has had less impact on bricks and mortar travel agents than many would think, Maxine said.

“Travel agents are still relevant for all sorts of reasons. We go outside the box to help and make it easy for people to travel and make bookings. Our clients come first, we make it their dream, their journey. It’s definitely a growing business, every year since I’ve owned it this business has grown.,” she said.

There was a misconception that it cost

more to use a travel agent but it cost no more and had the benefit of peace of mind and convenience, Maxine said.

“It’s a reassurance that the person you’re dealing with is the person you’ll see at the other end.”

Over the years Maxine’s business has won many industry awards and her staff continue to win their own achievement medals.

Interest in travel can be measured in attendances at her regular travel evenings. They’re about showing people the options and opportunities, about opening up the world, she said.

“They are really worth doing and are so well supported by the community.

We get huge numbers for a small town.”

House of Travel is New Zealand owned and was started by Chris Paulsen who is still actively involved in the company.

Every business has an owner operator.

“That’s its strength, people trust us,” Maxine said.

Maxine and husband Kerry travel frequently, with Koh Samui in Thailand and the Cook Islands top favourites.

While they have travelled to all corners of the world, there are still plenty of gaps, which Maxine says they’re keen to fill.

Melanie Rakete, Hailey Beevor and Harriet McLeay EA Networks Electrical Cable Jointer, Customer Service Analyst, Trainee Traffic Management Co-ordinator Three women who work at EA Networks are evidence the lines company lives up to its belief in providing opportunities to its staff to grow and tackle new careers.

Harriet McLeay and Hailey Beevor started their careers right at the front of the company – behind the reception desk.

Today they’re working in roles they only learned about through working for EA Networks. They’re studying, have career paths and are moving ahead.

Harriet has been with the company for four years in various roles and today is a Trainee Traffic Management Coordinator.

“I was looking for a change of job and more of a challenge and I was given this opportunity,” she said. Today her working life is packed with variety.

She visits work sites, develops traffic management plans, sets up sites and monitors these throughout the day.

The job provides a good mix of inoffice work and field work and as well she’s making time to study the New

Zealand Certificate in Electricity Supply to learn more about that side of the business.

“There are unlimited opportunities here if you’re passionate about what you do and you ask questions, show an interest, show you’re motivated, they’ll help you,” Harriet said.

She’s keen to develop her skills in new directions and is keen to gain knowledge in the health and safety area in the future.

Hailey also started as a Receptionist, moved to customer service and today she’s on the Fibre Supply Team dealing with requests for connections, visiting sites, drawing up installation plans and occasionally working alongside installers in the field.

“If you’re open minded and ready to learn, the company will help steer you in that direction,” she said.

In the future she wants to gain more field experience in fibre installation, but she’s also keen to look at project management.

She’s studying towards a fibre technician’s certificate to further her

installation knowledge.

“I’d say to other women, if there’s something you want to do just go for it, don’t be put off by it being in a male dominated industry.”

Unlike Hailey and Harriet, Melanie is still doing the job she joined the company for four years ago. She’s an Electrical Cable Jointer, one of very few females in that line of work in New Zealand.

She’s two years out of her apprenticeship and said she loves the variety and challenges that every day brings.

She came to EA Networks after several years working on Mt Hutt and that now seems another lifetime ago, she said.

“I really enjoy physical work and being outdoors and this job gives me this but it does take a toll on your body because there’s a lot of manual labour.”

Her work requires strength and it requires constantly calling on the knowledge she’s gained to solve tricky problems in the field, Melanie said.

With a smaller lines company such as EA Networks, Melanie said she gets to do a wide range of work, and looking ahead she knows the company will encourage her to grow her electrical skills.

The three women say they’re fortunate to be in a workplace where there are great career opportunities.

Out of the 120 employees on EA Networks’ staff, about 15 per cent are women and it is becoming more common to see women in work boots as it is behind a desk wearing shoes.

Women shouldn’t be afraid to take on jobs that are usually carried out by men.

It’s just a matter of following your passion and doing what you love, they say.

And all three appreciate the company’s philosophy of employing internally where possible, training people in areas they’ve registered an interest or demonstrated skills and helping them achieve qualifications in their chosen careers.

us. Our kids have thrived having Nana around.”

Being part of the business, however, meant Nicky came into a working world that was light years away from her previous career as a dispensary technician and later as a medical centre receptionist.

“It’s been a huge learning curve but I love it. It’s challenging, but you meet a lot of very nice people and we have some very, very dear customers coming in.

But working with engineers, I’ve probably got a bit of a potty mouth now; that’s very different to the medical centre.”

Nicky loves her retail space, knows every item, what it’s for, where it’s stocked and what it costs. She’s made it her business to build up a solid core of knowledge so she can feel confident offering advice.

“I love to laugh and joke with my customers. It’s about being welcoming and we’ve got brilliant customers and I would never have thought tools could be as interesting as they are,” she said.

If RMF partner Tiffany McRae has any words of advice to young women focused on making it to the top in their chosen career it would be keep trying, don’t give up.

She knows what that’s like first-hand.

“I completed my degree in 2010 and ended up working for State Insurance after the Canterbury earthquakes because graduate law jobs were not that easy to come by,” she said.

She moved to Ashburton and a job with AMI but during that time she never lost sight of her end goal, to make a career as a lawyer.

An opportunity came up to join the team at RMF and in late 2012 she signed on as a legal secretary.

“That gave me a really good understanding of how to practise law because they don’t teach you the practical skills at uni. By the time I came onto the team I knew how the business worked and having the opportunity to learn from experienced lawyers was invaluable,” Tiffany said.

Today she’s a partner in RMF and said she loves every facet of the job.

“I like the idea that law impacts on

everything you do in life and I’m keen to demystify the legal process for people.

Our ethos at RMF is about community and family, about being approachable and making our service accessible.

Coming to a lawyer can be intimidating and we want to be sure people feel they can come here and be relaxed and ask questions.”

Dealing with your lawyer should be as easy and uncomplicated as possible, she said.

“I love this work. Every day is different and you’re exposed to all kinds of different questions and issues. I love being able to explain things to people about how the law relates to them and how they can benefit.”

A large part of her work is conveyancing and with first home buyers, there’s a real satisfaction in seeing them sign off on their new home, she said.

“It’s exciting for them and it’s very rewarding knowing I’ve helped them get there.”

She’s an absolute advocate of smaller town law firms – you’re involved across many areas of the law, rather than just one, as you can be in larger firms.

The first thing you see when you walk into The Toolshed in Riverside are two corpulent cats; the first thing you hear is Nicky Horrell’s laugh.

Minute and Sylvester are usually curled up asleep on the counter, with Nicky alongside, ready to greet customers as they walk through the door.

She’s most definitely a woman in a man’s world. Virtually all of her customers are men and she says, to a person, they’re fantastic.

Since she and partner Paul Rowland started The Toolshed, Nicky has been its face. The couple has owned Palmer Agri Parts since 2004 and the option to add the Toolshed in 2013 made absolute sense, Nicky said.

The change of direction was the right opportunity at the right time, she added.

Having both parents involved in family businesses, however, would have been impossible without her mother, Nicky said.

Kerrin Corcoran (Associate Principal), Janine Barker (Associate Principal), Fiona Maw (Deputy Principal)

Allenton School

Senior leadership team

Allenton School’s roll is set to reach 500 in the next five years and teacher leaders Fiona Maw, Janine Barker and Kerrin Corcoran are front and centre at the busy school.

Fiona has management responsibilities as deputy principal and leads the junior syndicate (new entrants to Year 2), Janine leads the middle school (Year 3 and 4) and Kerrin leads the senior school (Year 5 and 6).

The school has a staff of 45, including support staff.

All three say teachers can change a life and they work hard for their students. They are rewarded by daily smiles and lightbulb moments.

Their university degrees have been a platform to a profession they love and they are rarely off duty, always thinking about how to connect better with their students at school and enthusiastically responding to the past and present students they see outside school.

Allenton serves a wide urban area and the school community is currently a multi-cultural mix of 400 students.

A $5 million building project next year will replace the middle school’s ageing prefab classrooms with new permanent learning spaces prepared for the digital world.

The three women say staying abreast of technology is vital.

And, as teachers prepare to strike around the country, all three say more government money is needed for the education sector.

They say it’s harder to access special funds for students in need and they worry about attracting more highlymotivated, quick-thinking, resilient and passionate people to the job.

“Sadly our wages do not often attract the all-rounders that we need in the profession,” Fiona said.

“If we do get the wonderful young people we need, they often leave after a few years, disillusioned with the huge workload as well as the extra emotional work required.”

Fiona still remembers a teacher advising her she would never be cognitively stimulated enough as a primary school teacher.

“I am glad to say I have loved almost every hour, of every day, for the last 30 years and I am often, in fact, overstimulated in this profession.”

She teaches her students and interacts with parents every day. Talking with and supporting young mums is an important aspect of her job.

“When we teach a child we can’t do

so in isolation and work with the whole family for many things.”

As a school leader, Fiona is involved in professional development for her teaching colleagues, as well as continuing her own thirst for knowledge.

“I am a nerd and forever reading, going on courses and being part of online forums. It doesn’t ever feel like work.”

She said her junior syndicate had some exceptional teachers, real experts with passion and drive, who continually tweak and improve their practice, to ensure new entrants get the best start to school as possible.

Janine oversees five classes in the middle school and says there is never a dull moment.

She worked in rural and city schools, including three years teaching in London, before deciding to return to the South Island.

Janine has led a school-wide positive behaviour for learning project that has helped create a special culture at Allenton.

When it comes to the students, she leads a team of professionals behind each youngster, helping them learn.

“Seeing delight in a child’s face when

Allenton School

they have figured something out for themselves is special.

There is always plenty going on to make you smile.”

Teaching in the future, with changes in education practices and technology advances, will be exciting, she says.

Technology is already a big part of life for Kerrin and her Year 5 and 6 students.

Each student has a laptop to use at school and work can be monitored and marked in real-time.

Kerrin can see documents students are working on in the classroom and provide feedback online instantly.

Technology also brought the world to her classroom, from the Louvre in Paris to other parts of the planet.

She came to Allenton four years ago from a small country school and has been embraced by the school community.

She says the pastoral care of her students extends beyond the classroom, where she aims to develop a positive culture that reaches home and the community.

Kerrin is director this year for the Mid Canterbury combined schools music festival, a mass choir event scheduled for June 12 and 13.

Sarah Jones, Darion Gray, Rachael Redmond and Linda Kelsall Mid Cantebury Rugby Union – MCRU The women leading local rugby Five women in Mid Canterbury Rugby Union (MCRU) play important roles in growing the game in the district.

Linda Kelsall is a referee, Sarah Jones is a marketing executive, Rachael Redmond is on the governing board , Darion Gray is president at her Celtic club and Tracey Henderson is president at Hampstead.

All five work in and around the game, which is an important part of the local community. Their gender has never been an issue.

Linda played rugby in her native Samoa and was encouraged to take up the whistle by a friend when she moved to Ashburton.

She loves the interaction with players and says having a high level of fitness means she can usually be in the right spot on field to see what is going on.

Keeping up with rule changes is part of her professional development within the MCRU Referees group and Linda says the camaraderie and support is great.

“You can only call what you can see, but you do have to have courage to be a referee, and confidence.”

Sarah combines her part-time marketing role with being mum to a toddler. She looks after MCRU events,

marketing, grants and sponsorship.

“I love the variety and pace of the role. My challenge being from Australia is not knowing all the local player names. Marketing I know inside and out, NZ rugby I am quickly building my knowledge!

Rachael is the only woman on the MCRU board and offers a unique perspective as mother of children who play the game and a local business owner. Her boys both wore the Allenton strip growing up, husband Chris coached and daughter Frances plays touch rugby for New Zealand.

She says her goal is to have more people watching rugby at the showgrounds and for the experience to be a welcoming, inclusive one.

“I love rugby. I used to watch my brothers and then watching what has been going on with rugby I started to come to the Heartland games. But sometimes I felt like a bit of an outsider.”

She said creating the right atmosphere and entertainment on game days was crucial to getting more people along to games.

Darion has been a central figure at the Celtic Rugby Club for 15 years.

Her children Cathal and Eimear have

played the game and she started her involvement with Celtic as a team manager.

“It is a job for life, really,” she says with a laugh. She then spent several years as club captain, helping the junior division flourish, and is now president of the club.

Under her oversight, the club had sometimes several teams in all the junior grades. She says she has always loved rugby and played it alongside basketball and hockey when she was growing up.

Her role at Celtic has been a natural evolution and she says it could be the same for many women, who start out taking their children to sport and helping on the sideline.

Celtic had women in many roles throughout the club and the rugby club family was richer for it.

“I see our Celtic kids out and about and they always say hello. I love the interaction and people.”

Tracey is the president of Hampstead Rugby Club and says she followed in the footsteps of her mum, who spent many years involved with the club at committee levels and with MCRU while her brother was playing.

“Then my boys decided it was time to play rugby, so it was only natural to get involved and help where I could. We are still both actively involved in various ways.”

She is the current president and Hampstead’s JAB delegate on the Mid Canterbury JAB committee.

Finding enough volunteers to help spread the workload is one of the biggest challenges in the job, Tracey said.

“People seem to be a lot busier now and a trend we have noticed is that the commitment to sports isn’t what it was previously.”

She said she had made many friends across the different groups, as they worked for the benefit of their kids playing rugby.

“And I love watching the little ones having run on Saturday’s running around the field.”

The five women concur that MCRU is an amazing place to work and they work with many other women as well as the men. MCRU has female club presidents, a board member, coaches, a captain, a full women’s team, referees and volunteers. Women are involved at all levels of the game.

Blues set for backlash

Sharrock team up for today

P50

P52

United A up, Celtic B down United A went up and Celtic B went down, while Ashburton College A almost pulled off something special in a dramatic end to the first round of Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier competitions on Thursday night.

The end of round one meant the promotion for the top team in premier two to premier one, while the bottom team in premier one dropped down to premier two, and it all came down to the last games of the round to find out just what teams would be on the move.

Promotion was decided first, with United A taking on Southern A in what was a battle of the top two teams in premier two, and while it was United A that won it 32-24 to ensure their return to Mid Canterbury Netball’s top flight, they were given a fright in the second half.

United A started strongly and led 22-9 by half-time, but they actually lost the third and fourth quarters as a determined Southern A side fought back, putting the brakes on United and reducing their quantity of shots.

Fortunately, United A had built a big enough lead in the first half to seal it, helped greatly by Olivia McLennan shooting at 93 per cent, and their coach Claire Tappin was over the moon.

When United A were relegated from the top tier last year, for the first time that Tappin and many of her clubmates could remember, it was devastating.

So after winning their way back into premier one, Tappin was ecstatic.

“The girls really deserved it, looking at the round as a whole,” Tappin said.

Taking their place in premier two would be Celtic B, after they lost the battle of the bottom two teams in premier one to Mt Somers 26-20.

Adding to the drama to end the first round of premier one was the fact that for the first time in a couple of seasons, Celtic A didn’t win.

But, they didn’t lose either, with

Kate Oliver and her Mt Somers team-mates secured their spot in premier one with a win over Celtic B on Thursday night.

PHOTO ERIN TASKER 210519-ET-0020 the defending premier one champions fighting back for a late draw against College A in what was a contender for game of the season.

The young College side held a three-goal lead at quarter-time, and a two-goal lead at half-time, maintaining their momentum despite losing mid-courter Poppy Kilworth to what initially looked to be a serious ankle injury.

The third quarter was a roller-coaster.

Celtic started strong and scored the first five goals to hit the lead,

and while College got back within one, another Celtic run put the margin back out to three.

Celtic’s mid-court was as slick as ever, with Julia McLeod picking up tips all over the place, but College weren’t going away.

They were committed on defence, while goal shoot Hayley Tallentire worked the circle well down the other end and eventually they got back out to a 24-21 lead a three-quarter time.

Again, Celtic started the final quarter the better of the two,

scoring the first three goals to tie things up and set the game up for a tense finish.

With 90 seconds left on the clock, College’s lead was two and it looked like Celtic A’s winning run may have come to an end.

But they got one back off the College pass to make the gap one, and with less than 20 seconds on the clock and the centre pass theirs, Celtic A moved quickly and got the ball to Sala Bueta under the hoop, who calmly slotted the goal that tied it up.

Celtic A coach Ange Leadley said both teams were put under immense pressure during the game, and both responded.

Even with a draw, Celtic A still finished the round top of the table, followed by Methven A – last year’s runners up.

College A coach Kaye Kennedy used all of her players on Thursday night, and said they were starting to play a mature style of netball.

“I always knew if we could stay close then we would be able to get it, but I also knew that in the fourth quarter Celtic always put the foot down,” Kennedy said.

While a catch-up round on Tuesday night meant it had been a huge week for all teams, College A’s was even bigger, with a game in Christchurch on Wednesday night, too.

They played Villa Maria in the Canterbury secondary schools’ SuperNet competition and went down 42-28.

Three games in the space of the three days took a toll, with some sore bodies by the end of Thursday night.

By comparison, Methven A players had a bit of a spring in their step after their winning end to round one.

They came back from well down against Hampstead A to win 30-25.

Hampstead looked good early on, leading 9-5 at quarter time and 17-11 at half time, but by three-quarter time the story had changed.

Methven won the third quarter 10-3 to lead 21-20, and picked up where they’d left off in the final quarter to win by five.

Methven A coach Maree Firth said it was game of two halves, with her side getting a roll on in the third quarter and keeping Hampstead scoreless for a long period.

She said her side needed to be patient and disciplined and just play their own game, and in the second half they ticked all three boxes.

Southern eye finals berth

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Technically, Southern have never won the combined country rugby competition.

They’ve drawn the final twice – with Collegiate in 2002 and Celtic in 2003, back in the days when it was just contested between teams from Mid Canterbury and Ellesmere, but since North Canterbury teams joined in 2007, they hadn’t even made a final.

This year’s team is hoping that is all about to change, though.

Today, at 2.45pm in Hinds, Southern have a chance to seal themselves a spot in the final of the Luisetti Seeds Combined Country Cup competition for the first time since 2005, the year when they lost to the team that they defeated in the quarter-finals last weekend, Darfield.

Today they play Lincoln in one of the competition’s semi-finals, while Glenmark-Cheviot and Springston play in the other semi at Omihi.

Lincoln may have more finals experience, having appeared in six finals and winning the title three times – most recently in 2014 – but when it comes to a desire to win, you’d be hard-pressed to find a team with more determination that Southern.

Southern have always been contenders in the local Watters Cup competition, but they’ve found the going tough in the combined competition, narrowly missing out on the top eight for the past two seasons.

This year though, with a big and experienced forward pack and speed out wide, they’ve been one of the teams to beat.

When the three pools that made up this year’s 22-team competition finished pool play, Southern had done enough to be second on an overall leaderboard, behind Glenmark-Cheviot.

All season, Southern coach Andrew Carr has taken a game-bygame approach, and this week it’s

Southern will take on Lincoln in the semi-finals of the Combined Country Cup rugby competition today.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 180519-HM-0484

no different. He’s asked his players to focus on what they have been doing, and simply doing it better.

“If we slacken off or relax, or don’t perform, we will be gone,” Carr said.

Carr knows little about Lincoln, but said that goes both ways – Lincoln also know little about Southern.

The key for his side today will be patience, controlling the ball and working on their line speed in defence.

“At the end of the day it comes down to ball control and looking after the ball,” Carr said.

While Southern topped pool A in the new-look three-pool competition this season, Lincoln topped pool C. So they haven’t

played each other, and they haven’t even played any of the same teams this season.

Carr knows it will be tough.

“At the end of the day in finals rugby, you shouldn’t expect a blow-out, it should be pretty close,” Carr said.

“It shouldn’t be easy, put it that way.”

Lincoln coach Kris Patridge said he’s expecting a big forwards battle against Southern, in a game which will be controlled by former professional referee Jamie Nutbrown.

“We try to play our own game.

“We’ll modify things slightly this week to suit a bigger forward pack but essentially we’ll be sticking to the game plan and backing ourselves,” Patridge said.

Whoever comes out on top in today’s semi-finals will meet in a standalone final next weekend – another change to the competition’s format.

While in past years, all teams have played on the last day, this year the final will be the only fixture.

That means that after today’s minor placing battles, the competition’s remaining sides will turn their attention to their local competitions, and maybe plan a road trip to watch the final.

Those minor placing battles today will see Waihora host Prebbleton in the battle for fifth place, and Darfield off to Burnham-Dunsandel-Irwell to battle for seventh.

In the Canterbury Supporters

Trophy section final (for ninth spot) Southbridge play Saracens, while the two sides they beat last weekend – Celtic and Rakaia – will play off at Celtic.

Methven will head to Kaiapoi to play-off for 13th in the NCRSU Plate section, with a former Mid Canterbury and Tasman rep, Gary Redmond, likely to make his first appearance of the season off the bench, while Oxford will host Hampstead in the play-off for 15th.

No Mid Canterbury teams feature in the bottom six battles, which will see Ohoka and Hurunui play off for 17th, while West Melton host Rolleston in the battle for 19th, and Hornby hosts Ashley in the wooden spoon match.

Blues should fear backlash from ice-cold Mo’unga

By Patrick McKendry

A

couple of years ago, as the Crusaders prepared to play the touring British and Irish Lions in Christchurch, I asked then assistant coach Leon MacDonald about an up-and-coming first-five named Richie Mo’unga.

The then 23-year-old Mo’unga had been terrorising Super Rugby defences until that point, but was about to take a very big step up against Lions counterpart Owen Farrell and company.

Mo’unga has since played nine tests for the All Blacks, but back then it was the biggest stage he had played on (2016 Super Rugby final in Johannesburg apart).

Certainly, it was easily the biggest television audience he had played in front of and such is the unique nature of a match against the

Lions it is usually one of the highlights of a player’s career.

MacDonald is of course now the Blues head coach and it’s likely his close connection with Mo’unga and the Crusaders caused him to sidestep an opportunity to speak to the media before his return to Christchurch for a game that is highly anticipated for all sorts of reasons, and his reply to my question back then was both instructive and slightly surprising.

“There is a lot of Dan Carter in Richie Mo’unga,” MacDonald said.

“Very rarely do you see him rattled at all, at any level. He’s very casual ... I think you need that temperament as a 10 because there’s a lot of pressure.

“I watched the [America’s Cup] sailing this morning and they just

seem to have ice-cold blood in their veins under immense pressure, and that’s Richie. He doesn’t seem to be fazed and for a young guy to control a team like the Crusaders, with a lot of big personalities, a lot of big strong men who have played a lot of rugby – to run the ship as confidently as he does at his age is a real credit to him.”

MacDonald’s honesty was a credit to him and his No 10. There was no attempt at a platitude in order to turn the spotlight away from his playmaker because he knew Mo’unga could handle it.

MacDonald probably also wanted Mo’unga to know he had complete faith in him. As it turned out, Mo’unga played well but neither he nor his side could breach a very tight (full-strength) Lions defence and the Crusaders lost 12-3.

The conversation seems relevant now not only because of the coming clash between the Crusaders and Blues (and to a lesser extent Mo’unga and MacDonald), but because of the recent accusations of inappropriate behaviour in a Cape Town bar directed at Mo’unga, which he and the Crusaders vehemently deny.

Winger George Bridge is another accused of potential misconduct, which he also denies – but it’s Mo’unga who will, in theory, be under the most pressure because of the constant decision-making that comes with his position, and the fact that he is set to play a key role for the All Blacks at the World Cup. There is anger mixed with disbelief within the Crusaders that the accusations in Cape Town

have spiralled into the story it has become.

Reputations are important to coach Scott Robertson and the franchise – both the collective and the individual – but if any player can turn that anger into cold-blooded decision-making it is Mo’unga and if any team can use what they see as adversity to their advantage it is a team who got to the 2011 Super Rugby final despite travelling every week amid the near constant fear of earthquakes.

There is genuine sadness among the Blues’ hierarchy at the accusations levelled at their southern rivals but an understanding too that a backlash could be coming from an extremely tight-knit team led by a little but very talented bloke with ice in his veins.

Experience returns for MC Hammers

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury’s first rugby squad for 2019 has been named, and it features a couple of blasts from the past.

Jon Dampney, a former Mid Canterbury captain who hung up his rep rugby boots a couple of seasons a go, was a surprise inclusion in the 40-strong squad, while Methven’s Brenton Connell was another set to make a return to the green and gold jersey after an even longer absence.

Former Tasman representative Connell last played for Mid Canterbury in 2014, when he made the Heartland XV along with Dampney.

That was also also the year that Mid Canterbury won the Heartland Championship’s Meads Cup for the second year in a running, with Dampney as captain.

The coach that led Mid Canterbury to those two victories, current Black Ferns coach Glenn Moore, was also on board as Mid Canterbury Rugby’s new director of rugby and he would assist coaches Dale Palmer and Jason Rickard during the season.

Palmer said Moore’s input, and the experience the likes of Dampney, Connell and Nete Caucau – who was also returning after a year where he didn’t feature for Mid Canterbury – would bring to the side would be huge, and benefit the younger players in the side.

“We’re always looking for excit-

ing young guys coming through, but to have a guy like Jon playing the way he is, and his experience and his leadership, and obviously he knows how to win, is great,” Palmer said.

The 40-strong initial Mid Canterbury squad features 12 players each from both Southern and Rakaia, along with eight from Methven, six from Celtic and two from Hampstead.

Palmer said the squad they’d named this week would take them through to the pre-season Ellesmere game August 3, but the door wasn’t closed.

There was still plenty of time for others to put their hands up ahead of the Heartland Championship.

Palmer said they’d be watching the Watters Cup with interest, because local derbies were where players often shifted up a gear.

Palmer said he and Rickard wanted to reward local players as much as they could, but if issues arose with depth they would look to bring on loan players for the Heartland Championship.

“We are excited about what we are doing because we are probably changing quite a few things from the past few years, and with Glenn’s input hopefully we can work pretty well and get some good results,” Palmer said.

The squad will come together for the first time on Monday night for a planning/information session at 7pm at the Ashburton A&P Showgrounds.

Jon Dampney has been in form for Southern this year – form which has resulted in his return to the Mid Canterbury fold.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 180519-HM-0390 The Mid Canterbury squad is: Angus Lindsay, Kaydis Hona, Leauma Tu’uga, Paovale Sofai, Shepherd Mhembere, Tololima Savaiinaea (Celtic), Atolofi Lapa, Tupa Mata’u (Hampstead), Brenton Connell, James McLeod, Manasa Bari, Matt Groom, Nete

Another loss for Coles back on field the AshHutt girls

By Patrick McKendry

It was another tough day at the office for the AshHutt rugby girls on Wednesday night, taking on Timaru Girls’ High School (TGHS) in Timaru, and going down 63-24.

The Ashburton College and Mt Hutt College combined side were two tries down in the first couple of minutes, and although they struggled to get into the game from there, coach Grant Elvines said they were competitive most of the time.

Elvines said they were just guilty of missing too many tackles in defence, and not looking after the ball when we had worked so hard to get it, and TGHS pounced on every mistake.

The AshHutt forwards were dominant, with the three loosies Tyla Harraway, Megan Hurley and Aidan Elvines doing a lot of the donkey work in defence, and running strongly when they had the ball.

Second half subs Margret Eli and Grace Bleach also made some good metres with the ball, with Bleach again being rewarded with another two tries.

The backs had their chances

Aidan Elvines as well, with Manee Mannex-Peters being solid on the wing, and Telita Manu making her fair share of tackles in the midfield.

Elvines said his side still had work to do, but it was reassuring to see improvement every time the girls take the field.

Due to next week’s teacher strike, AshHutt’s next game will be against Waitaki Girls at Alpine Stadium, Timaru on June 5.

Last week, AshHutt went down to Craighead 53-27, and the week before that they lost to Roncalli College 20-17.

All Blacks hooker Dane Coles’ long and frustrating wait on the sidelines with his latest injury is nearly over; he has been named to start for his Wellington club Poneke today.

Dogged by several issues over the last few years, including concussion, Achilles and knee problems, Coles has been unavailable for the Hurricanes since mid-March due to a calf injury.

His comeback in the red and black hoops of his club team against Petone at the Petone Rec is another step in the right direction for a player eager to make another World Cup. In a twist, his main All Black rival Codie Taylor is set to miss the next four weeks for the Crusaders – the rest of the regular season – due to a broken finger.

Coles’ return will please All Blacks coach Steve Hansen as well as Hurricanes coach John Plumtree, whose team have a bye this weekend, because Coles’ quality and experience will be crucial for the Hurricanes in the playoffs and the All Blacks in Japan, in particular.

Despite their week off, the Hurricanes are guaranteed to stay in fourth place on the Super Rugby table and the second best team in

Dane Coles the New Zealand conference behind the Crusaders this weekend.

A graduated return to the top level via a club game mostly out of the public eye probably suits the 32-year-old Coles, who has played 60 tests, but has endured some terrible misfortune in terms of injuries.

In 2017, he feared for his career because of concussion symptoms which meant he couldn’t attend matches due to the crowd noise let alone play in them.

Earlier this month, Hurricanes coach Plumtree refused to put a date on Coles’ possible return for his side.

“I’m putting absolutely no pressure on Colesy, and I don’t want him putting pressure on himself,” Plumtree said.

“Holding him back’s not easy, trust me.

“He’s the type of character that just wants to get going.

“He’s pretty frustrated and annoyed, but we’ve been through that now. It’s just a case of ‘if we see you in a couple of weeks great, if we see you in three weeks great, if we see you in a month, great’.

“We definitely want to see him again and we will, but we want to make sure there’s no time limit on it.”

Asafo Aumua and Ricky Riccitelli have been swapping the hooker duties in Coles’ absence.

Should the Hurricanes retain fourth position on the table after the regular season, and they have three left, starting with the Sharks in Durban next weekend, they are in line to play the Crusaders in a Super Rugby semi-final in Christchurch should both teams win their quarter-finals.

If Coles gets through his run against Petone unharmed, he will hope to make the Hurricanes’ trip to South Africa.

They also play the Lions in Johannesburg and finish their regular season with a home match against the Blues.

Sharrock team primed for Trentham New Plymouth trainer Allan Sharrock could be in for a big day at Trentham today.

The Taranaki horseman will take four horses south to the Wellington track and he believes his quartet of runners are all winning chances.

Group performing mare Art Deco will kick off proceedings in the Roaring Lion North Island Challenge Stakes (1400m) and Sharrock is hoping his mare can turn the ta-

M7

Comeback, as opposed to a 1.5kg difference last start.

“Whether we can beat Rogies (Graeme Rogerson, trainer) horse is the biggest thing,” Sharrock said.

“I think she will naturally improve from her first-up run and I expect her to go well.”

Stakes winner London Express will contest the Hanley Formula Autumn Sprint Championship Final and Sharrock can see her repeating

her last start heroics when taking out the Enzo’s Lad Cup at Trentham earlier this month.

Fellow three-year-old Tutta La Classe will be set on a similar path and Sharrock is hoping for an improved performance in the NZB Insurance Pearl Series Race.

While confident with all four runners heading into Saturday, Sharrock has highlighted Art Deco as his pick of the quartet.

■■ BASKETBALL

Passing on top basketball tips

By Erin Tasker

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A top Australian coach now charged with teaching basketball to the next generation of Kiwis was in Ashburton this week, passing on top tips to some of our young ballers.

Mel Downer was a few months into the two new roles which brought her to New Zealand – Basketball New Zealand’s talent manager for the South Island, and Canterbury Basketball’s rep academy manager – and was relishing the new challenges.

Downer was a former head coach at the Australian Institute of Sport for women, and a former high performance manager for the Basketball Queensland South region, so she knew what she was talking about and had been impressed by what she’d seen since moving across the ditch.

“There’s a lot of talent over here, and there’s a lot of kids playing, and basketball is really on the rise, which is really pleasing to see,” Downer said.

It was now about growing the skill base and working with those kids and getting them into elite habits, and elite training environments.

“They have the physical tools and it’s now just giving them a foundation to work from,” she said.

Downer’s jobs would allow her to explore the country she now called home, and on Monday afternoon they brought her to Ashburton where she put some young Ashburton College basketballers through their paces.

Mel Downer was in Ashburton this week passing on tips to the district’s young basketballers.

Basketball was the second fastest growing secondary school sport in New Zealand, and Downer’s job was to work with mainly 11- to 19-year-olds to ensure the Basketball New Zealand national style of play concept filtered

down to those who were the future of the sport she loved.

Basketball was a huge part of life for Downer and her family – her husband Mick Downer had also landed a pretty good job in New Zealand, as the new coach of

the Canterbury Rams men’s team.

To be able to come to New Zealand to perfect jobs for both of them had been a great opportunity, and the couple had not regretted a moment of it since moving here with their five-year-old

daughter at the start of the year.

“It’s a really unique situation to be honest. We are both obviously basketball coaches so to be both offered jobs in basketball like this is really unheard of,” Downer said.

Cryptic crossword

Saturday, May 25, 2019

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Just when you thought you knew yourself, you like something you used to dislike, find a strength in what you thought was your weakness or bring a surprising quality to the job of being you.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Those who make you wait may subconsciously need attention and could even be worried that they are not interesting enough to get attention in other ways. Take heart. This isn’t disrespect; it’s insecurity.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You have hopes for a relationship, and you’ll act in accordance with those expectations – even if the hopes are essentially a secret. Your actions tell a story, whether or not you want it revealed.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’re being strategic in order to accomplish what you believe is the better choice for all. If bluffing is part of your strategy, then you’ll be unusually good at this as long as you’re doing it for noble reasons.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The people you admire are powerful because they believe in themselves, commit to their work and get fully behind their own goals and projects. You will be such a person yourself today.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s nothing frivolous about striving to make things fit your taste. The eye trains the mind, and the mind trains the eye.

All of life is enhanced by learning to see and create beauty.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When a stranger smiles at you, that’s a sign. Easy parking? That’s a sign.

Green lights, pennies on the sidewalk, heartshaped clouds – it’s all flowing in your favour.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The hard jobs are your favourite, especially if they require you to meet new people, make a presentation or learn new skills. Jobs that aren’t hard enough bore you and ignite a mischievous part you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Stop and remind yourself what you want, what your goals are, why you’re doing this. If you don’t, you’ll likely get off track and increasingly wrapped up in someone else’s aims.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You have no idea what comfort your voice can bring to those who need love and attention. Even if what you’re saying is transactional and all business, your warmth of tone has heart-healing qualities.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Eloquence isn’t just about choosing the right words in an organised and poetic order. It’s also about the length of the discourse. Say what needs saying and no more than that.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): While there’s nothing technically wrong or bad about returning where you’ve already been, such a move will be a missed opportunity when there’s so much that’s new to delight your eyes with!

Jake Bailey

G u e s t

S p e a k e r s

Jake Bailey is the ex-Christurch Boys’ High School senior monitor, whose end of year speech made worldwide headlines after going viral in 2015. A week before he was due to deliver this speech, Jake fell ill and was diagnosed with Burkitt’s NonHodgkins Lymphoma. Jake was given two weeks to live if this was left untreated. He persevered through to make his speech to his school and the video of this went on to touch the hearts of millions and draw support from around the globe.

Since being announced in remission in January 2016, Jake has gone on to share his experiences, his story, and the things he has learnt which have given him clarity throughout his journey, in the hopes of helping others facing difficulties.

Jake would be the first to tell you that nothing in life is certain, but one thing quite categorically is: Jake Bailey has a gift for making us want to be better human beings, simply by telling his story.

Keynote Speaker: Resilience - How can we promote it in ourselves and others?

Julie Zarifeh

Resilience is a frequently used, but in reality, little understood term. Julie Zarifeh is a clinical psychologist with professional and personal experience of the need for resilience in our lives. She will share her extensive knowledge on the topic, combining academic insights with personal experiences gleaned from living through the Christchurch earthquakes and navigating personal tragedy.

Her talk is insightful, inspirational and, above all practical, as she translates key research findings helping us all navigate challenge and change more effectively.
