Family escapes early morning fire

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

A family has had a lucky escape after an early morning house fire in Ashburton.

Emergency services rushed to reports of a fire at the Chalmers Avenue house at around 6.20am on Sunday morning.

The house was well involved in fire upon the arrival of four crews from the Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade, and then one from Methven.

The fire was extinguished about 9am.

Ashburton chief fire officer Alan Burgess said no-one was injured as the occupants managed to safely evacuate but there was significant damage to the house.

“The house will be beyond repair,” Burgess said.

“There was severe fire damage to the rear of the property

which included the lounge and kitchen area has been pretty much gutted.”

One of the vehicles parked in the driveway was completely destroyed, he said, while another parked behind has suffered heat damage as well as a scooter suffering some damage.

A fire investigator attended the scene and Burgess said it appeared the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the lounge.

“Hearing the noise of the fire starting was the catalyst for the homeowner to investigate what was going on.

“The fire obviously got bigger and they were in the process of leaving when the smoke alarms activated,” Burgess said.

“By the time they were outside, the fire blew out the window.”

Burgess said the family had done well to get themselves, and their animals, out in time.

The busy fortnight of events focuses on all things wheels and transport has rolled to a stop.

Wheels Week Plus 2021 is being hailed as a success by committee secretary Peter Jacob.

“A huge thank you to the community for supporting a full two weeks of events, there were good crowds at all the events where a lot of community groups benefited,” he said.

Every event had a lot of community involvement, with the

community involvement and made for another successful wheels week event.

“This event could not be run without your support and the support from the many sponsors, competitors, volunteers, family and friends and the Ashburton District Council for getting behind such an iconic event,” he said.

The only thing missing was the annual street parade, which was unable to run due to the roadworks along East Street, but it was hoped it would make a welcome return next year.

Water meters back to drawing board

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

The Ashburton District Council continued Long-Term Plan deliberations yesterday.

Multiple sites for second bridge being explored

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

A handful of locations for a second urban bridge in Ashburton remain on the table.

It was revealed during deliberations on the Ashburton District Council’s Long-Term Plan yesterday that “two or three” sites were being explored before it makes a business case to Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) in the coming months.

The issue of a second bridge, connecting Ashburton through to Tinwald, has been one of the most popular talking points among the public during the Long-Term Plan process.

The second stage of a strategic business case was expected to be

completed in the next four weeks and presented to NZTA. It will be followed by a final detailed site investigation, council roading manager Brian Fauth told councillors.

“I think it will give you more than a definite site, it will give you a choice of two or three sites,” he said.

The proposed location of Chalmers Avenue – a longstanding bugbear for many Ashburton residents – has previously been committed to by council.

Question marks were also raised around why Ashburton ratepayers needed to stump up costs for a bridge that was on such shaky ground.

“The chances of getting further money for this is pretty close to zero and we’re going to be very

lucky to get our 51 per cent from Waka Kotahi,” Ashburton Ward councillor John Falloon said.

“Especially with the pressures that are coming from the North Island for projects up there . . . to expect the Ashburton ratepayers to front up with the missing 40odd per cent I’m afraid is a bridge too far.”

Council chief executive Hamish Riach warned that taking the bridge project out of a district Long-Term Plan would lead to the NZTA scrapping plans also.

Waters have also been muddied following reports that NZTA’s $5.3 billion worth of roading projects were in doubt as the Government considers how it meets its emissions targets.

Construction of a second Ashburton bridge has been set aside

for 2026.

“We’ve heard loud and clear the concerns around the second bridge, not the need, but the site,” Riach said.

“What we have received is a strong degree of community comment around one particular site.”

Plans for a loop road option and a proposed four-lane highway between Rolleston and Ashburton were also discussed.

Mayor Neil Brown said it was imperative these plans were incorporated into the district’s calculations immediately, even if the need was further down the track.

“As I’ve been led to believe by the regional transport committee, this is where it starts and it feeds its way up,” he said.

A move to install water meters on a one-year trial basis has been endorsed by most Ashburton District councillors during long term plan deliberations.

Council have gone back to the drawing board to establish the cost for a new long term plan approach of trialling meters on a fraction of properties over a 12 month period before agreeing to a district-wide rollout.

The matter was expected to come back to council tomorrow.

A lack of robust evidence to support council claims of up to 50 per cent loss in its water infrastructure – as highlighted by numerous public submissions – was identified as a key reason in exploring a fourth option in the Long-Term Plan.

Opposition to the contentious $5 million proposal has been firm after the Ashburton District Council opened its 10-year plan to residents.

The council initially favoured an option to install 9000 water meters throughout the district over a threeyear period.

Other options to install meters over a year and abandoning plans to install meters were also listed in the draft document.

People dying while we wait

By Malcolm Hopwood

“It’s a good start, but only a start.”

The President of the Cancer Society of New Zealand, Alister Argyle, has welcomed the Government’s $53 million investment in cervical cancer and breast screening, but warned “you can never have enough money for cancer treatment and early diagnosis”.

“The total health system is in need of greater funding to ensure the heralded health reforms are effective,” Argyle said.

The $53m is set aside to design and implement a new test to detect cervical cancer.

The test, HPV, is expected to replace the current smear test used by 1.4 million eligible women between the ages of 25 to 69.

Argyle said early diagnosis is the key to successful outcomes and the HPV screening test will reduce the testing requirements to once every five years for most women.

It’s a self-screening test that allows women to sample at home.

“Ashburton people will benefit from the ultimate increasing availability of these diagnostic

opportunities,” he said.

The Cancer Society believes that cervical cancer can be eliminated, but is critical that HPV self-testing has taken too long to introduce.

Chief executive, Lucy Elwood, said “people are dying while we wait”.

The target for the National Cervical Screening Programme was 80 per cent of eligible wom-

en screened prior to 2018, but the latest figures indicate 72 per cent were screened.

The figure concerns Elwood and Argyle, and doesn’t paint the full picture.

They said that only 61.8 per cent of Maori, 68.6 per cent of Pacific and 59.1 per cent of Asian women were screened compared to 78 per cent of European women.

Elwood also said the national breast screening programme should be extended to cover women in their early 70s.

Currently the scheme is only available for women aged 45-69.

The Cancer Society hopes to see further investment in cancer screening and prevention in this year’s budget, for example “the introduction of a lung cancer screening programme,” Elwood said.

Argyle, in the first year of his two-year appointment, has visited all six Cancer Society boards in New Zealand “and met their dedicated people.”

He plans return visits next month.

“I’m on an incredible learning curve in being briefed on what’s happening in the cancer treatment world in initiatives under way in prevention, lifestyle choice and education,” he said.

A prayer to live up to

By Malcolm Hopwood

Past and present Ashburton Hospital nurses had a prayer to live up to on Sunday.

As part of their biennial reunion, organiser, Carolyn Nelson, read Florence Nightingale’s prayer which encouraged them to pass their lives in purity, practise their profession faithfully and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.

Afterwards they headed to Ashburton Hotel for lunch.

In all, 74 nurses from centres around the South Island, gathered on Sunday to catch up with one another, share memories with classmates and celebrate at the hotel.

“It was absolutely worthwhile. I’ve received positive

More than 70 nurses attended the Ashburton nurses’ reunion on Sunday.

comments and emails from many nurses who attended,” Nelson said.

They reminisced, remem-

bered colleagues who’d passed away and enjoyed looking through Phyllis Miller’s two scrapbooks of photos, cuttings

In brief Water shutdown Residents on the Methven Springfield Water Scheme are being advised of routine maintenance that will be carried out on the scheme on Thursday which will result in the service being shut down temporarily. The scheme shutdown will commence at 9am and is expected to last for a period of approximately 6 hours.

The Ashburton District Council is encouraging anyone who may be affected by the shutdown to make arrangements for the temporary storage of water for use during this shutdown period prior to the shutdown.

Myanmar appeal Ashburton’s Hannah Cunneen is “blown away” by the response from New Zealand people to funding for victims of the military takeover in Myanmar. Cunneen launched the appeal two months ago and, when it closed this month, she had received $40,000. Cunneen is administrator for the fund which she’ll distribute to recognised agencies in Myanmar from England.

She left yesterday to take up a position in London as principal manager for a British based nonprofit organisation, focusing on sustainability and human rights issues. Cunneen said the situation in Myanmar “continues to be heartbreaking with ongoing oppression of people who support Myanmar’s right to have a democratically elected government”. Cunneen said she was grateful for financial support from Ashburton people to the cause.

Guinness Down Under and information dating back many decades.

But first in the morning, the nurses attended a service of thanksgiving at the hospital chapel, taken by celebrant, Wendy Millichamp.

At it, three nurses representing the past, present and future, Edith Smith, Paula Burgess and Rose Gilmour, lit a candle.

Gilmour, a young nurse with her career ahead of her, represented the nurse of the future.

She also read the nurses’ creed.

Nightingale’s prayer, followed the lighting of candles.

“It was very symbolic and enjoyed by the nurses, some of whom date back to the 1950s when they served at Ashburton Hospital,” Nelson said.

“There was overwhelming support to hold another reunion in two years’ time.”

The exploits of former Ashburton Magistrate, Francis Guinness, were detailed at a recent book launch.

Tauranga historian, Rod Smith, visited Ashburton as part of his promotion of Guinness Down Under, about the life and times of Francis Hart Vicesimus Guinness, the grandson of the famous brewer.

Guinness came to New Zealand in 1852 and, at various times in his life, was an entrepreneur, public servant, political activist, failed farmer, policeman and resident magistrate in Collingwood and Ashburton. He held the position in Ashburton from May 1879 for 16 months and was said to “ruffle feathers but make an impact”.

The main point of his address was to highlight an incident where Ashburton wizard, W.H. Bristow, shredded Guinness’ top hat with a knife on stage, then claimed he forgot how to do the rest of the trick.

OFFICIAL OPENING

Hospice humbled by response

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Hospice Mid Canterbury has been overwhelmed by the response after officially opening its new base on Sunday.

General manager Debbie Mackle was humbled by the response from the community with an “absolutely wonderful turnout” on the day.

“It’s fantastic that we are in the building and can call it Mid Canterbury’s.

“It is fast becoming everything we wanted it to be.

“We are just so humbled how the community has and continues to get behind us.”

The opening was seven years in the making and was a day that couldn’t have happened without the support of the community she said.

Hospice New Zealand patron and ambassador Jo Seagar was the guest of honour at the community owned facility on Havelock Street, along with a number of people who had been integral in securing the site.

Seagar, the famous baker and guest of honour, cut the cake which had been donated

by Tinwald’s Café Time with Seagar vowing to bake one for the first anniversary next year.

“And we plan to hold her to that,” Mackle said.

Following the opening which coincided with the start of Hospice Awareness Week which had a big turnout to an open day at the facility on Tuesday.

“We had members of the community coming in just to have a look, we had people wanting to be volunteers and people coming forward who require our services.”

Hospice is also hosting Barry Hayman to talk about his personal cancer journey at the site from 10-11am on Thursday.

While the opening of the building marked the end of a seven-year-long project, the work continues for the Hospice team.

Mackle said as they do not receive government funding the need to fundraise is ongoing to ensure they can continue to offer their services free to the community.

“We can be there from the moment of diagnosis and support each person and their family with all of our services free of charge.

“Because we don’t receive government funding it’s paramount that our fundraising efforts are well received in the community so that we can continue to offer our services free of charges.

The next fundraising event is on Bubbles and Bling at Trott’s Community Gardens on May 29.

Mayor did not engage with Collins over Three Waters

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Both the mayors of the Ashburton and Selwyn districts have confirmed they have not reached out to Judith Collins around the ownership of water as part of the Three Waters reforms.

But Selwyn District Mayor Sam Broughton says he remains unconvinced at the early stage of the Government’s plans to reform publicly-owned water assets.

It follows “misleading” comments from National Party leader Judith Collins at the weekend, who claimed iwi could inherit a 50 per cent ownership share of the South Island’s water infrastructure as part of the scheme.

Broughton was part of discussion with the Minister of Local Government Nanaia Mahuta with three other mayors and Ngai Tahu leadership on behalf of the mayors of the South Island.

He said the mayors of the South Island were taking a proactive approach alongside iwi representatives and suggested there were doubts around the proposals.

“The case for change is yet to be convincingly made to many councils by the Government,” he said.

“Rather than sit back and wait, the mayors of the South Island have proactively worked together and with Ngai Tahu to understand our common interests and potential options for the future, should we choose to have our drinking water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure in a single multi-regional entity.”

Collins said that some South Island mayors were so appalled by what had been proposed during Three Waters’ presentations last week that they had reached out to her office.

Neither Broughton nor Ashburton’s mayor Neil Brown had relayed concerns to the leader of the opposition.

Collins pinpointed a co-governance proposal which was presented to mayors and iwi last week.

“This proposal, to put drinking water into iwi ownership, is yet another example of Labour implementing a new interpretation of the Treaty that sees the New Zealand Government, which represents all of us, not as sovereign, but in a 50-50 Treaty partnership with iwi,” she said.

Brown said it was merely a proposal and that Collins had “jumped the gun”.

“It’s not a done deal by a long stretch,” he said.

Chair of Te Kura Taka Pini, the Ngai Tahu freshwater group, Dr Te Maire Tau also rejected Collins’ claims who was “seeking headlines”.

“Ngai Tahu wants to design the structure if the new entity with the Crown and share governance responsibilities,” he said. “ N g a i Tahu does not want to own Three Waters infrastructure.”

Turning back time after wheel find

By Malcolm Hopwood

It’s amazing what you find in Jan Howden’s Overflow Shop at Mayfield.

Radio personality and member of the Ashburton Fire Brigade Museum, Peter McQuarters, went for a drive earlier this month and came across two wheels (inset).

They weren’t just any wheels, but reminded him of wheels that propelled the fire brigade’s old wooden dinghy in the 1870s.

“I found them in a barn out the back which contained the overflow of the overflow,” McQuarters said.

“They were 19th century and, the more I looked, they seemed identical.

“They were the same height as the wheels I saw in an old photo and had the same number of spokes.”

With that information, the Fire Brigade Museum decided to buy them and Howden sold them for a hugely discounted price.

“She’s a wheeler dealer,” McQuarters said.

But the wheels are only modest in value without the dinghy.

So the museum and Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade chief, Alan Burgess, are on the lookout for a wooden dinghy, preferably built around the late 19th century.

If they find one or have it made, they’ll build a simple base, attach the dinghy to it and add the historic piece of fire equipment to their arsenal.

This is how it worked back 150 years ago.

When there was a fire in Ashburton, the voluntary firefighters heard the siren or something similar and assembled.

Some harnessed horses to the steamer while two others pulled the dinghy to the domain.

They then paddled out to a chamber on the pond, released the valve and water flowed down the channel into the gutters.

All this time the building blazed.

Once the water headed in the right direction, the firefighters would dam it in the channel or gutter.

The steamer would suck the water up and then point its hoses at the fire.

No one knows how long that took, if the dwelling had been razed to the ground by then or if firemen drowned in the domain

pond. While the focus was on the steamer, the dinghy played an important role for about 20 years until Ashburton’s high pressure water supply was installed in 1911.

“It was a critical element in fighting fires, but it’s a dimension that isn’t often talked about,” Burgess said.

“We’ll clean, repair and repaint the wheels and then spread the word for a wooden din-

ghy that could be lying in someone’s shed.

“It’ll be one of our projects in the future.”

Museum committee members are confident one can be found but, when asked if the method of fighting fires in the 1870s could be re-enacted with two volunteers venturing out into the middle of the duck pond, Burgess said it “was smaller than a remote chance”.

Finally time to rock ’n’ roll

By Malcolm Hopwood

Song and dance is back.

Variety Theatre Ashburton is reprising a popular theme they introduced nearly 10 years ago presenting It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll Baby at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

The season, which pays tribute to a whole range of genres, opens on Friday and runs until May 29.

The show, written and directed by Gavin Templeton, starts with classic hits from the 60s and then progresses through themes as diverse as country classics and domestic violence.

In the world of popular music, countless songs have been written about countless subjects.

“The theme is the ones we sing to, laugh to, dance to and cry to over seven decades,” Templeton said.

Templeton is on the Variety Theatre committee and, when members sat down in 2019 to toss ideas about for their next show, they turned to him for advice.

“I’ve been commissioned before to write shows, and I came up with this idea,” he said.

“Once I started to think about it, I listened to my iPod, car radio, and record collection to find the music that people remember and love.”

It’s Only Rock ’n’ Roll Baby was born with a minimum of dialogue and a maximum of music and dance.

“I want people to go away with a grin or a smile and a message from some of the songs,” he said.

But six weeks into rehearsal, Covid-19 struck with the opening night in May 2020 in sight.

While Variety Theatre was hoping to only

delay the show, it had to be postponed until 2021.

Now it’s back and Templeton is sure that nothing will stop Friday night’s opening.

While it’s fun, frantic and flirtatious, he has themed some songs with a serious message.

Bridge over troubled waters

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

T

here is unilateral agreement a second bridge is necessary.

There is a divide over where it should go.

For many immersed in the second bridge saga, it will feel like déjà vu.

That’s because back in 2014 the route for the second bridge was locked in.

Plans were drawn up, land was secured, and all that was left was the funding.

As the clock ticked down it seems public pressure has caused cold feet.

The brakes have been applied as the parties involved assess and reassess the options.

Whether it be off Chalmers Avenue or realigning SH1 to join Melcombe Street in Tinwald.

From an out of town by-pass – a heavy vehicle by-pass, like the one that flanks Temuka, to a dual bridge using SH1.

Then there is the elephant in the room, a ghostly figure of a proposed four-lane highway extension from Rolleston to Ashburton.

In all there were about 25 options.

They are not all back on the table, a handful are, but they might as well all be as the process feels like it is back to square one.

It could have its benefit if it ends up having a higher percentage funded by NZTA. There will be lights in Tinwald – eventually – and one would think that the location of them would play some part in the location of the second bridge, or vice-versa.

Simply because the two traffic flows, if the bridges are to be separate entities, must at some juncture re-join as one.

The traffic issues in Ashburton are well known.

I’ve had a number of discussion with people from all corners of our country asking why the traffic is so bad here.

There are a number of factors, including the current site of the rail yard in central Ashburton, but there are plans in the wind for it to relocate to Fairton, but the rail line will still dissect the town.

A second bridge, we are told, will alleviate some of the traffic flow problems – depending on its location.

Ultimately the nine heads around the council table will have to come to a conclusion, again.

This time it needs to be locked in – to the point where there can’t be another u-turn down the line.

YOUR VIEW Town centre I come down from Christchurch each Friday to see my Mum and help take her shopping, as she is now unfortunately health compromised.

I have found the last year or so it has been difficult to take Mum shopping due to the two sides streets off East Street being changed to one-way systems.

I have ended up having to take her instruction to park where I can and do her shopping for her. We have coped with that.

However, today I came down and couldn’t believe the absolute shambolic nature of not just East Street, but the actual centre of town. Absolutely disgusting.

I have lived in earthquake damaged Christchurch for 10 years and through the repairs, remodelling and general change. But what I saw today defied belief or logic.

How on earth businesses survive, adapt or to respond to the chaos that I found is nothing short of an absolute lack of

Yes, repairs have to be done. I do not dispute this. But by gosh think about the logistics of it.

Ashburton has a large number of older residents and mobility challenged persons.

This is disenfranchising them majorly. Not to mention the retailers. Absolutely shameful.

OPINION 13

Helping families keep warm

By Jo Luxton

LABOUR MP

A

round a million New Zealanders will be warmer in their homes now that the Winter Energy Payment has resumed.

The Government introduced this payment as part of our Families Package, to help seniors and families with the cost of heating during the colder months. It’s simply about being able to run the heater when you need to.

Too many New Zealanders are hospitalised because of cold, damp homes. The Winter Energy Payment sits alongside our Warmer Kiwi Homes insulation programme, as well as new Healthy Homes Standards requiring the insulation of rental properties – all part of our plan to ensure every Kiwi home is warm and dry, and to ultimately keep people well.

I’ve had many people here in Rangitata tell me what a difference the Winter Energy Payment makes, grateful for the support with their power bills.

Our Government is committed to boosting the incomes of Kiwi families, so everyone can afford the basics.

Closing the gap between rich and poor in New Zealand will take time, but there are plenty of things the Government is already doing to tilt the balance in favour of our lowest paid workers.

To increase household incomes, the Government has rolled out

the Families Package, including the Winter Energy Payment and Best Start.

We’ve also steadily lifted the minimum wage, invested heavily in employment support, made targeted training and apprenticeships free, indexed main benefits to wage growth so families aren’t left behind, lifted abatement thresholds for working people on benefits so they can keep more

of what they earn, and increased main benefits by $25 per week.

We’ve eased the financial pressure on families by funding the removal of NCEA fees, making doctors’ visits cheaper for nearly 600,000 New Zealanders, and putting fuel and power companies under the microscope.

New Zealanders have shown extraordinary resilience and compassion over the past year, and

the Government is doing all it can to support Kiwi families through these uncertain times.

The Winter Energy Payment kicked off again at the start of May, and will provide some relief over the colder months. But we know there is more to do to lift the incomes of hard-working New Zealanders.

I’m proud to be part of a government that’s stepping up to

tackle long-term challenges like this one.

Ill-considered policy is making farmer role even more complex and challenging O

ver the past month we have heard the government make all sorts of announcements/comments on immigration.

Farming families take a vital interest in this topic not only because of workforce gaps, but because our rural communities need to be replenished with new blood and enthusiasm.

People have varying mental pictures about what farming is, or what it should be doing. While many folks’ perception is one of hard work, it’s no different to any other job in the modern workplace in that it requires a mixture of skills.

A 2021 farmer requires the same amount of thinking, study, training, and hard work to be successful on the job as any other highly skilled professional. The business skills required wouldn’t be out of place on an MBA programme and sometimes it also seems like you need an accounting degree thrown in.

Read through the last few months’ worth of Feds press releases and member advisories and you’d have an idea of the range of topics farmers need to stay on top of, including: changes to resource management legislation, housing tenancy and employment

By Chris Lewis FROM THE FARM

law changes, milking machine guidelines, riparian planting, soil nutrient science, animal health changes that requires you to be the vet at times (or at the very least to recognise when to phone one). . . the list goes on.

These skills are most often learned on the job, with some off-farm training when you can get away from the milking shed, the drenching yard or behind the wheel of a harvester.

Being a modern farmer requires you to have learned the skills taught in many trades and degrees, to update that knowledge and practices regularly, apply them continuously in your farming operation and teach your family and staff about them.

The complexity and breadth of what’s involved would span content from a score of degrees.

This is why we need immigration to supplement New Zealand workers, and skills and training to be focused on providing flexibility so we can ride the ups and downs

of weather and trade conditions.

We need certainty to plan and invest in our industry, so we can keep employing with confidence and promote our industry as something all New Zealanders should consider as a career option.

Investment certainty would also help with retention as we combine technology and more automation to boost job satisfaction and reduce hours.

The public sector is fretting about the signalled wage freeze, but in the last six months there has been no clamp on agricul-

tural wages, they have gone up significantly – I suspect in my own business by 25 per cent.

But rents have skyrocketed too, and the cost of living has matched the rocketing expenses that businesses face to operate. Some of it is pandemic related, but a large chunk can also be traced back to government policies such as fuel tax increases, minimum wage increases, local authority rates rises spurred by the Three Waters policy and tighter environmental rules, to name just some of them.

These are all worthy things, but someone must pay and often the

hardest hit are the average workers and small business owners such as farmers.

Our government sets direction for the country and for farming; they have all the resources, money and powers of elected office. We farmers have the passion and skills but now, unfortunately, dropping enthusiasm for our sector.

Let’s work together to confront some of the issues, not work to strict deadlines that kills off ideas and enthusiasm. Let’s develop an ambitious but practical fit for a better world plan together, taking our community forward as leaders on some of these issues. We need to match aspiration with execution of carefully crafted polices and investment to show off our natural environment and awesome people in our sector.

Above all take our community with us on this journey.

SIDE coming to Ashburton

SIDE organising committee chairman Andrew Slater is a sharemilker for and farms in an equity partnership with Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown and his wife Judy.

PHOTO HEATHER CHALMERS

By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Tools to help farmers deal with an ever-evolving dairy industry will be on offer when Ashburton hosts this year’s South Island Dairy Event (SIDE) for the first time next month.

Being held at the Ashburton Event Centre on June 23 and 24, SIDE is expected to attract hundreds of dairy farmers and industry professionals.

The first farmer-led SIDE was held in 1999 in recognition that the then fast-growing South Island dairy industry needed its own conference as its type of farming was different from the established North Island dairying.

Since then, SIDE has alternated between Canterbury and Southland, with two events in Dunedin.

SIDE organising committee

chairman and Canterbury dairy farmer Andrew Slater said this year’s theme was Evolve, as the level and speed of change farmers were facing was unprecedented.

“The days of holding back, pushing back and putting our heads in the sand are gone.

“Our farming businesses have to evolve if we want to keep up with the changing climate and continue to survive and prosper.

“The world is changing and it is not just coming from regulators such as Environment Canterbury.

“Dairy companies such as Fonterra and Synlait, through their customers, are putting expectations on us as well. So the expectations are coming from every angle.

“Financial markets are also now linking loans back to environmental compliance. Compliance around HR and hiring people, particularly foreigners, is also

getting more difficult.”

For the last 10 years Slater and his wife Hayley have sharemilked 600 cows at Dorie for Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown and his wife Judy.

Five years ago, the Slaters and Browns joined forces to buy a 430-cow farm near Charing Cross in Central Canterbury in an equity partnership.

“We have been given some awesome opportunities by the people we have worked for and with. While it is a business arrangement, the Browns have allowed us to spread our wings and help us get into this place.”

Slater said that SIDE had always been a farmer-led conference and the committee was proud to bring the event back to Canterbury in a revitalised format and a new venue after last year’s event was cancelled because of Covid-19 restrictions.

“As much as it’s about educat-

ing, its also about getting people together and networking opportunities.”

While the Ashburton event would have a slightly more Canterbury focus, people travelled from throughout the South Island and further afield to attend.

“We always get a lot from Southland. In the past we have had a strong contingent of Tasmanians.”

Workshop topics include milking regimes, the risks and benefits of milk futures and fixed milk prices, getting calves off to a great start, financial cost control, the future for bobby calves and herd reproductive performance.

An alternative programme known as BrightSIDE was aimed at new entrants and younger staff and would feature Tangaroa Walker, the Southland sharemilker who has become a social media star.

Walker’s Facebook page, Farm

4 Life, provides a glimpse of the highs and lows of rural life and has over 150,000 followers.

Keynote speakers include Dr Ceri Evans, a psychiatrist best known for his work with the All Blacks. His red-blue mind model is used by people serious about performing under pressure.

Wairarapa farmers Dion and Ali Kilmister will outline how they have progressed from a stock manager’s position 15 years ago, to their first lease farm with 70 steers and a $30,000 overdraft to their now $20 million farming operation.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to socialise at a barn dance and dinner on the evening of June 22 in the pavilion at Trotts Garden, Racecourse Road.

People are encouraged to dress in country and western, with the evening featuring a mechanical bull and line dancing, as well as a live band.

Jones is top of the crops Dorie farmer Vaughan Jones has again proven he has the winning recipe when it comes to growing winter feed crops, taking the Ravensdown trophy for best crop in the Ashburton A&P competition.

In 2019, Jones won best winter feed crop over the combined Ashburton, Methven and Mayfield A&P competitions with fodder beet. Last year’s event was unable to go ahead because of Covid-19 restrictions.

Winner of the Mayfield winter feed competition was Graham Wall, with fodderbeet.

The Ashburton and Mayfield competitions were judged last week with Methven on Monday and Tuesday of this week.

The best from all three districts will now vie for the supreme award in the Mid Canterbury combined final of the Ravensdown and A&P Associations’ winter feed competition on June 3, with the winner announced at a presentation at Methven.

The most popular classes are fodderbeet and kale, but also include rape, turnips, swedes, autumn saved pasture and greenfeed cereals (oats, ryecorn and triticale).

Tomato prices doubled in the last month – in part due to unreliable export options – latest Stats NZ figures show.

The average price was sitting at $6.34 per kilogram, up from just under $3 per kilo in March.

Cucumbers also jumped in price, up by 50 per cent to $12.41 per kilo.

Stats NZ spokesperson Katrina Dewbery said the rise was partly down to regular seasonal change, with tomatoes coming off their summer low prices, but there were other elements at play.

“There’s also been some oversupply in the domestic market following Covid, as growers are struggling to get their tomatoes exported due to a shortage in freight and increasing shipping costs ... which has

been influencing their plans for tomato crops.

“That has been kind of going on throughout Covid and we’ll be seeing some impacts from that in the future as well, I would expect.”

Tomatoes reached a record high price of $13.65 per kilogram when there was a shortage due to the Covid-19 pandemic in August, 2020.

The overall food price index rose by just 1.1 per cent – those high prices partly offset by lower prices for kiwifruit, which was down 28 per cent.

“Kiwifruit is a highly seasonal fruit whose price usually peaks around March towards the end of its season.

“The weighted average price of kiwifruit was $6.01 per kilo in April, dropped from $8.39 per kilo in March.”

Good people and a good cause

By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Seales Winslow decided to get a little creative to promote health and safety protocols.

To encourage the staff to follow the health and safety regulations the company laid down the challenge that if there were no incidents or accidents at the end of every quarter there would be an incentive.

After successfully navigating an incident-free quarter, the incentive the staff chose was to donate $500 to a charity of their choice.

“It’s a great incentive to get them [staff ] talking about health and safety,” Liam Cawthrone, who holds the unofficial title of site safety champion, said.

“I really enjoy the idea behind it and how everyone gets behind it.”

Having the health and safety progress board close to the entrance way of the facility, staff see it regularly and it encourages visitors to abide by safety regulations, he said.

This quarter the group decided that they wanted to donate funds towards mental health advocate and former comedian Mike

The group at Seales Winslow were excited to donate $500 to the Key to Life Charitable Trust.

King’s charitable trust Key to Life.

Accepting on behalf of the charity was the Key to Life Charitable Trust’s remote office man-

ager Michelle Cogger.

“I was really excited to get the phone call to do this,” Cogger said.

“Thank you [Seales Winslow] for choosing us.”

as Canteen and cystic fibrosis, are now on track to present another cheque to another charity at the beginning of September.

Broken carbon promise will hurt rural communities Federated Farmers has been checking the calendar – six months on from last year’s election and says the government has broken an election promise to protect productive farmland.

Labour pledged if re-elected it would take less than six months to protect productive farmland from the rampant spread of large-scale exotic tree planting across the country.

“We were told they would revise the National Environmental Standards for Plantation Forestry to require forestry blocks intended to be larger than 50 hectares on elite soils, that means Land Use Capability Classes 1-5, will

Andrew Hoggard have to get a resource consent,” Federated Farmers president Andrew Hoggard said.

“We’ve been reading the pa-

pers, but this hasn’t happened yet.

“In fact, there are no signs at all that they are seriously moving forward on this.”

At the time it was made, the election promise was cheered by Feds’ members, he said.

“It was a sign the government finally acknowledged there was an issue with large-scale exotic tree planting, and the damage the free-for-all to plant pines was doing to rural communities.”

The focus on LUC classed land 1-5 was far from ideal with a lot of sheep and beef farms classed LUC 6 and higher falling to forestry.

“But it was at least an opportunity to consider how we regulate to get the right trees planted in the right places, for the right reasons.”

The government is also yet to initiate a long-expected review of the special forestry test for overseas investment.

Hoggard said the loose requirements of the special forestry test encourage overseas investors to purchase productive farms for wholesale conversion to forestry rather than keep those farms in agricultural production.

“Blanket forestry for carbon farming shuts down rural communities. Employment to plant

the trees and that’s the end of it.

No pruning, and no timber ever again from the land.

“Short term thinking by government is creating permanent damage to rural communities and the national economy.

“What farmers need to see from the government is a widespread review of the full range of policies that are leading to the loss of productive farms, export income, employment and the undermining of rural communities.

“The Minister has said he’ll keep moving on this. We’d like to see him and his colleagues move a little faster,” Hoggard said.

Electricity cost savings from Solar Irrigation

Advertorial

(Industry Field Day at Eiffelton 27th May )

A trial solar array has been established at Eiffelton, just south of Ashburton to determine the cost savings from powering irrigation from solar power.

Solar uptake has been slow in New Zealand, with house installations there is a missmatch of supply and demand, low buyback prices, and a high cost of installation. This has reduced the returns on domestic solar systems.

Solar irrigation energy generation is better matched to irrigation seasonal demand. Lines and unit charges are more transparent. The scale of installation reduces the capital cost of the P.V. installation and electricity cost.

The trial at Eiffelton is being supported by the Eiffelton Irrigation Society, ECan and the Ministry of Primary Industries. Frizzell Agricultural Electronics are implementing the trial.

Frizzell’s have carried out extensive modeling of the economics of using solar arrays to power irrigation systems. The modeling indicates that significant savings in energy costs can be achieved with a well-designed solar irrigation system. With increasing electricity costs, benefits are likely to improve significantly in the future.

The system works in such a way that during summer days, the irrigator runs from energy supplied from the solar array. Excess energy is fed into the grid for credit. At night the irrigator runs off lower night spot prices. During the winter energy is feed back to the grid for credit.

Alastair Frizzell, manager of Frizzell said that to make sure the system is economic, a number of design and implementation components must be met. The potential irrigation system is analyzed and factors such as location, irrigation system performance, the farming systems, energy pricing and irrigation demand are all considered to get the best returns on investment.

Alastair says that from their modelling, returns can vary from a low of 3% return on capital for a badly configured system to returns exceeding 20% a year on capital from a well-designed system. Benefits go beyond first year returns. Because of the low carbon foot print of solar power generation, farmers can claim credits in their carbon budgets.

Other returns are likely to increase in the future. With current spot electricity prices running at up to 50 cents a unit from a typical price of 10 cents spot price, contract electricity prices are likely to rise in the near future, increasing the returns from an installed solar system.

Warm March could spell pest plague NZ Herald

Another plague-making beech forest seeding event could be on the cards in parts of New Zealand next summer - with a warmer-than-usual March raising the odds.

The warning comes just two years after the largest beech mast in half a century prompted the Department of Conservation (DoC) to launch its biggest-ever pest control operation.

At the same time, scientists have suggested that climate change may be playing an increasing part in mast events, which produce extremely heavy flowering and seeding.

In beech trees, which make up much of New Zealand’s wilderness forest, mast seeding kicked off when the average summer temperature was more than a degree higher than the average temperature of the preceding summer.

Long in the past, before pest predator species like rats and stoats arrived on our shores, mast seasons offered seed-eating birds like kea and kaka a veritable buffet to make up for those lean years in between.

Other insectivorous birds like robins and tomtits would have gorged on all of the insects also showing up for the feast.

But today, with enough predators lurking in our bush to lay waste to some 25 million birds each year, mast years spell even greater danger to those native species still hanging on.

The extra food only boosted rodent numbers – and in turn stoat numbers – with the plague turning on our native birds, bats, lizards and insects after the seed was gone.

DoC’s latest climate modelling showed a beech mast was very likely in southern Fiordland next year - and could also occur in parts of North Otago, South Westland, North Canterbury and in the central North Island.

“After a couple of years with little beech seeding anywhere, it’s looking like there will be a beech mast in a handful of places around the country in 2022,” DoC principal scientist Graeme Elliott said.

“Although this past January and February weren’t especially warm, March was unusually hot in some places, which increased the overall summer temperature.”

As the temperature difference wasn’t as great outside of southern Fiordland, there was less certainty full seeding would result in those areas, he said.

“We will be monitoring flowering next spring using satellite imagery, and then in summer sampling seed in some forests to confirm where a mast is occurring.”

Rodents and stoats are also monitored, and predator control operations planned for priority conservation areas to protect our most vulnerable wildlife.

In 2019, DoC spent tens of millions of dollars beating back pest numbers with 1080 poison drops and ground trapping, in a sprawling operation covering some

500,000ha of priority conservation areas, and DoC would be watching mast projections closely when planning next year’s work.

There was emerging evidence that climate change was increasing the frequency of forest seeding.

One recent study, co-authored by Professor Dave Kelly of the University of Canterbury, suggested that reproduction in beech trees in Britain, specifically, was being negatively affected by climate-driven changes to seed production systems.

Kelly thought it interesting the prediction for next summer was based on a warm March, given earlier research had suggested temperatures over January and February had the most influence.

“DoC have been doing a lot of work refining these temperature prediction models, and based on that think a very warm March can set things off, which is certainly plausible,” he said.

“Also the effect is quantitative, so a very hot March might do things that a warm March would not.”

Over time, Kelly said, we were seeing more extreme temperatures.

“And as temperatures vary from year to year, we will gradually see all the possible combinations of cold months followed by hot - and find out for sure what the plants do.”

In New Zealand, his own research had pointed to potential changes in plant responses from big temperature swings.

“For example, in my work at Mt Hutt on snow tussocks, in 2018 we had a huge temperature difference where January 2018 was more than 4C warmer than January 2017, which is far outside the normal range of a degree or two either way,” he said.

“This gave us the big flowering year in 2019. All this means I expect that as the climate warms up, we’ll see greater swings from year to year and this may drive more extreme seed events - but we don’t know the details well yet.”

More broadly, climate change was predicted to pose a wide range of problems to our already struggling biodiversity and 2018’s spring and summer brought just the kind of hotter, wetter weather we could expect from climate change.

Under these conditions, rats in the North Island rats were starting to behave more like they did on tropical islands – with longer breeding seasons, and bigger populations.

Meanwhile, in the South Island, invasive mice were climbing to higher altitudes than ever before, pushing above the treeline into alpine areas.

There, they threatened some of the last strongholds of endangered native species, such as rock wrens, lizards, and invertebrates.

Whereas pest control could effectively manage rats and stoats in these areas, more work was needed to develop landscape control tools for mice.

INDOOR BOWLS

Nordqvist, Wilson claim titles Martin Nordqvist and Grant Wilson both matt.m@theguardian.co.nz added another Ashburton Indoor Bowls championship title to their already impressive list of victories on Saturday at the McNally Street Stadium.

The pair won the two respective singles titles up for grabs on the day, with Willowby’s Wilson claiming the Jim Paterson singles and Methven’s Nordqvist picking up the Ken Hampton singles for players over the age of 60.

The win acted as a double celebration for Nordqvist, who in winning claimed his 10th Ashburton championship title to claim his second gold star – 37 years after he picked up his first in 1984 when he won the championship pairs.

In a field of eight players in the Ken Hampton, Nordqvist came from behind to beat Neil Atkinson in the final.

Down by two shots playing the last end of the game, he picked up the required three shots to claim the title.

In the Jim Paterson singles, Wilson prevailed over a strong field of nine players, beating Michael Lawson in a close-fought encounter.

Wilson led by two shots going into the final end and Lawson was only able to secure one, with Wilson claiming his 13th Ashburton championship title.

On Sunday six teams were back on the mats for the first stage of the New Zealand Mixed Fours.

Simon Thomas, Michael Lawson, Julie Thomas and Daphne Whiting were the only team to go through the day unbeaten, and thus earned the right to represent the district at the Zone Playoff against Canterbury, South Canterbury and North Otago to determine who will travel to the New Zealand final later in the season.

Methven’s Senior B juggernaut rolling on

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Methven’s stranglehold on the Mid Canterbury Senior B rugby competition extended further on Saturday as they extended their unbeaten run to four, and claimed a vital piece of silverware in the process.

The side trekked up to Mt Somers on Saturday afternoon to face their neighbours in the fourth round of the competition, and to also compete for the Bruce Beckley Challenge Shield, and went home on Saturday night with a win under their belt and the shield securely tucked under their arms, winning 21-7.

As Methven would have predicted, they were met by a determined Mt Somers side who threw everything at them, but tries to Kendall Sparrow, Tom Suyker and Faaitu Tuamoheloa and three conversions from the boot of Louis McDonald were enough to see them home.

Mt Somers’ points came from a try to Scott

Paton, with Sam Pollock adding the conversion.

Allenton sit the closest to Methven on the standings with three wins from their matches, and will be out to try and topple the competition leaders this weekend when they head up to Methven. They claimed a narrow victory over an improved Southern on Saturday afternoon, winning 22-17.

Their four tries all came courtesy of the forward pack, with prop Lance Chapman bagging a double and Robert George and James Greene also scoring a try each, while Xavier Bartlett added a conversion.

For Southern, William Green, Mason Briant and Cole Harris dotted down, with Sam Benny kicking a conversion.

Saturday’s other match saw Celtic celebrate their club day with a hard-fought victory over Collegiate Hampstead Combined, winning 3114 to get their season back on track after a defeat the week before.

Celtic ran in five tries in the match, while Collegiate Hampstead could only manage two.

The weather played its part, and more than 50 young tennis players got the chance to get some winter tennis under their belts at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Sunday morning.

The tournament, hosted by local head coach Jack Tiller, drew entries from across Canterbury for the one-day event, and with good numbers on the court and a rapid-fire format of play there were plenty of smiling faces come the end of the day’s play.

Playing in eight different divisions across the day, the large group of players battled it out in tennis’ fast-four format – a shortened version of the game which is akin to cricket’s T20.

In the Men’s Open Grade competition, Connor Brosnahan emerged

victorious over the No.1 seed Aidan Watt. When the pair met early in the competition, Brosnahan came from behind, losing the first set to go on and win the second before taking out the match.

Ryan Watt managed to get victory in the Under 14 boys’ division, beating Eejin Tay who finished second while the Under 12 boys’ was won by Josh Gilbert, who finished just ahead of Sakeri Parnell, and Digby Porter was victorious in the Under 10 boys’ division.

In the girls’ action, Alyssa Greenland won the Under 14 title just ahead of Maddi Brown, while Tyla Kelly took out the Under 12 title.

Charlotte Fenn justified her ranking in the Under 10 girls’ competition to win with Olive Marsden finishing second.

Finals spots down to the wire Celtic’s Ricus van Zeyl attempts to break free of a Lincoln defender’s grasp on Saturday.

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A truly bizarre round of results in Combined Country Rugby will have had more than a few teams reaching for the calculators early this week ahead of the final round of pool-play this weekend, with finals spots still well and truly up for grabs.

One thing is for certain though, and it’s that only two Mid Canterbury teams can potentially make it through to the top flight of the competition after this weekend’s matches – Southern and Methven.

Yet there’s still an outside chance that they could both miss out too.

If both sides were to lose this weekend without any bonus points, and Prebbleton beat Celtic, then Waihora and Lincoln, who play Methven and Southern respectively – provided they win with bonus points – could leapfrog their way into the top three to join Prebbleton.

In Pool A, the top three sides are confirmed with Southbridge, Darfield and Springston assured a place.

Only their final standings, which will determine who they face in the first round of knockout, is to be decided this weekend.

On Saturday, Methven did what they needed to do and picked up five valuable competition points against Rolleston, but it was a tough day at the office for the other two local sides in action, with both Celtic and Hampstead suffering losses.

Celtic will rue a number of missed opportunities from their

loss to Lincoln, which put an end to their hopes of making the top three in what has proved to be a highly competitive Pool B. They were downed by a determined Lincoln side, who have proven to be one of the big improvers in the competition.

took an early hit, as a gaggle of missed tackles in the first quarter let in two tries, and Lincoln walked in another soft one just before halftime from a lineout close to the home side’s line, after a superb touch-finder from a penalty back on halfway.

Raitube Vasurakuta, who looked threatening every time he touched the ball and had one huge try-scoring opportunity called back for a forward pass, picked up a well-deserved double, while Nathan McCloy brought Celtic to within two points with a fine individual try midway through the second half.

He also added a sideline conversion and a penalty goal, but it wasn’t enough to see off Lincoln, who won the match 24-20.

Celtic can’t make the top three in the pool now, but will be out to get some forward momentum going and finish the round robin on a high when they head to Prebbleton this weekend.

In Pool A, Hampstead were unable to further their season’s record, going down to West Melton on the outskirts of Christchurch 10-27 in somewhat of a shock result.

Many fancied Hampstead’s chances of walking away from the game with competition points next to their name, but it wasn’t to be as the home side put together a very polished performance.

Hampstead scored a try through Elama Touli, and the rest of their points came from the boot of Malo Tautalafua, who landed a conversion and a penalty.

The blue and golds will now have to turn their attention to a local derby this week with Rakaia, which will be played in Ashburton.

With neither side able to make the playoffs, the match will serve as a good pointer towards standings ahead of the Watters Cup, which begins on June 19.

Meanwhile, Methven pushed themselves into the top three in Pool B with their 53-21 win over Rolleston.

Needing maximum points to give themselves the best possible chance of making the top stage of the competition, the Methven side did what they needed to do, running in nine tries in what should prove to be a good confidence boost.

Hooker Brendon Rigden and mid-fielder Tiger Holmes both grabbed braces in the comprehensive victory, while Tait Chisman, Hugh Griffiths, Reuben Early, Jeremy Lewthwaite and Henry Miller also dotted down, and Early grabbed one conversion while Brenton Connell slotted three.

Methven need nothing other than a victory this weekend at home against Waihora to make it into the top three, and with Waihora in exactly the same boat, it sets up for an absolute belter of a match at the Methven Domain.

Maui books ticket to the Jewels

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A season-long goal looks to have come to fruition for David McCormick.

The Tinwald horseman has harboured a desire to take his smart three-year-old trotter, Maui, to the Harness Jewels in Cambridge next month for most of this season, and victory at Ashburton on Sunday looks to have confirmed the trotter’s place in the $100,000 event.

Harness Jewels final fields are determined on stake earnings in each age group from the start of this season up until Sunday, May 23, and with close to $20,000 in the bank for the season, Maui is ranked ninth on the order of entry after his win on Sunday.

A winner earlier in the month at Ashburton too, Maui showed a clean pair of heels from the standing start to lead early before taking a trail behind Call This Fun. With a cold shot up the passing lane the son of Peak was too quick for his rivals, winning by a neck from a fast-finishing With Ice who was second.

The Jewels will be a tough ask for Maui with three-year-old trotting sensation, Five Wise Men – who has won his last seven starts – heading the division.

But with a good barrier draw, Maui showed he is capable of footing it with the best, evidenced

by his fourth in behind Five Wise Men in the Hambletonian back at the start of the year.

Earlier in the day the locals were in on the action also when long-time friends, David Isherwood and George Martin, tasted success with DD’s Super Stuart.

The duo race the gelding out of the Methven stable of Carl Markham, and he came with an undeniable finishing burst to win impressively in the hands of Markham’s son, Jeremy.

Sunday’s win was the second in 56 starts for the gelding, but two strong recent performances in which he’d finished second and third suggested another win wasn’t far away.

Despite that, punters let him go with a near to $15 return for his victory.

The result was a good one for local stud, Trouble Lodge – which is operated by Mike and Di Heenan – with DD’s Super Stuart by their stallion, Superfast Stuart and another of his progeny, Martha Stuart finished runner-up.

The Heenans had success of their own on the weekend with Latina Hall winning on Saturday at Winton.

The five-year-old mare turned in an impressive performance to win after being slow away in the hands of John Morrison, giving the Heenans their eighth winner for the season as trainers – equalling their best mark which they set back in 2013.

It also capped a good weekend for Morrison, who picked up a premier victory on Friday night with Time In A Bottle at a big price for Geraldine trainer, Sandra Mounce.

Methven trotter, DD’s Super Stuart and Jeremy Markham stride to success during the early stages of Sunday’s Ashburton Trotting Club meeting.

CLUB NEWS

Ashburton Combined Friendship Club

Our mini speaker was Barrie Hunt.

His family farmed at Waipara, North Canterbury. Times were tough with newspaper loo paper and flour bag singlets. After shepherding for his father, he bought a farm at Wakanui in 1956. A new house soon followed.

In 1962 he bought some turkey hens. He developed his turkey business with a 5000 sq ft shed, silos and a hammer mill, the abattoir at Keenans Road till he was selling 35,000 turkeys a year.

He also successfully bred corriedales, topping the Tinwald Two Tooth fair and selling sheep to South America.

Other interests included Full Bore shooting, the County Club, the Tinwald Reserve Board, Ashburton Town Watch and vintage cars.

Errol explained the role of Justices of the Peace. JPs go back to 1361 during the reign of Edward the Third when appointees were given the power to try felonies. In NZ, JPs preceded the era of judges with the first, Thomas Kendall, being appointed in 1814, although he was later dismissed. The first woman JP, Mrs Elizabeth Yates, was appointed in 1893. The next woman and first Maori woman JP, Rewa Bennett, was appointed in 1930. JPs are appointed for life unless they resign or are dismissed. All active JPs are Ministerial JPs, but a smaller number are Judicial JPs. Retired JPs retain the designation but are no longer active.

JPs become accredited by achieving a pass rate of 92% in an exam.

Judicial JPs must successfully complete a correspondence course.

Judicial JPs are addressed as “Your Worship” in court and have a similar jurisdiction to a District Court Judge in almost any proceeding for which the penalty is not imprisonment, main exceptions being cases of a sexual nature, serious drug cases or youth or family court matters.

JPs duties include witnessing documents and signatures, taking declarations, affidavits, oaths, or affirmations. In Ashburton we have a JP Signing Centre in Community House on Tuesdays and Fridays from noon until 2.00pm.

Errol related some anecdotes from his Judicial JP experience.

Our main speaker was Kathy Harrington-Watts, Refugee Settlement Support Team Leader. She was accompanied by Navid Bashir, Cultural Navigator, originally from Afghanistan, whose task is to help the Afghan Hazaras refugees coming to Ashburton adapt to a very different culture. Refugees leave their homes because they are facing life and death situations and are unable to return.

They have faced many challenges before they reach NZ and often have amazing stories.

They had to be very resilient and adaptable to get here. Their dreams are common to humanity; a safe place to live and work where their children can have future opportunities. It is important the community welcomes and supports them and helps them get started.

Approximately 110 refugees are expected to arrive in Ashburton over the next 12 months. Two families arrive in Ashburton on the 28 May and the task of the Refugee Settlement Support Service is ensure they are welcomed and supported by our community. Ensuring suitable housing, whiteware and furniture and groceries etc available is the first priority but ongoing support with finding employment, helping children settle into school and making the first connections with our community is equally important.

Meetings second Tuesday of month, Seniors Centre 206 Cameron St, 9.30 am. Visitors welcome. Phone Joe 0274 339 018. ashcomboclub@gmail.com

Ashburton Toastmasters

Presidents Reports: This period since the last TM AGM has been rather ordinary, settled and undisrupted given the chaos caused by the pandemic the previous year. We have not really felt any lasting effects to this point, which is good for us and TM Clubs in Aotearoa.

The restrictions imposed in the USA due to covid 19 has meant we here in Aotearoa have had to compete under the zoom conditions as they have had to in the USA. The inception of the zoom meeting was born with our club holding several zoom meetings to stay connected during this most difficult time. The reason behind this to my understanding has been to ensure equity and fairness in competitive environments. One must give credit where credit is due. I think the efforts from many people in our area and district has been nothing short of commendable as we have learned to run competitions between clubs flawlessly through zoom.

Although not a club member here, special commendation to Brad Grootelaar, Division Director for Division D, District 72, for his tireless efforts in managing zoom competitions. In terms of competitions we have had good representation and success from the club in recent times.

2021 Humorous Speech and Table Topics Evaluation Zoom Competitions: Matt competed in the area humorous speech contest gaining second place, well done Matt. Both Rebecca and Sheree competed in the table topics competition with Sheree placing first and Rebecca third. I acted as a judge in the humorous speech competition and Chiyo and Mariana were timers.

2021 International Speech Competition and Evaluation Competition: Both Matt and I recently competed through zoom at the 2021 area international speech contest gaining a third and fourth respectfully.

Both Coby and Mark Lester competed in table topics zoom competition placing fourth and fifth respectfully. Mariana was contest chair for this competition. I personally found competing through zoom challenging leading to growth and reflection on how I’d go about a zoom competition in the future. Special Award: Let’s not forget the special recognition and award bestowed upon Robin McClimont for his enduring membership of 25 years. It was also a club highlight to have both Rob Wooley our district director along with Basil Moskovis, past District 71 Club Growth Director, to give Robin his special award in person.

The club is in good order in terms of membership. We have a solid 17 members at this time. It is good to have the new members of Hazel, Hugh, Jamie and Jake and recent members of Alison, Neysa, Deidre and Rose, and of course it is good to see Mike and Rene back.

Credit has to go to those who work behind the scenes. Coby well done and thank you for your role in treasury and now membership. Mariana for your role in VP membership, Adi for your role in public relations and promotions. And a special commendation to Matt for his very important role in VP education. Aside from Rebecca and Mike, I am sure we do not have a true appreciation of the extra time, work and effort required in the VP education role, a role that Matt does so well. Also a commendation to the executive who act as a committee for your contributions, insights and decision making through our messenger meeting style.

Nomination: A nomination was made by

Ashburton Guardian Wednesday, May 19, 2021 me as president based on the opinions of the execute to recognise the promotional work that Adi Avnit has done for the club over the last few years. On behalf of the club we nominated Adi for the Jack Duffy Memorial Rose Bowl for Community Service Award.

Clubs need new and longer standing members. New members to add energy and enthusiasm and longer standing members to provide tutorship, consistency and stability. Clubs also need those who are prepared to give time to run and act in the various membership positions needed for a club to function successfully. With that think if you could be the next one who puts up your hand up for a VP role going forward.

These roles also develop you management and leadership skills.

Recommendations: Also, for the next incoming president and VP members, there is a lot a club like this could do, but generally we do not or have not to this point.

Setting club goals through an annual strategic plan with club members is a good start. There is also the feedback from the likes of Judith Snelling, which can be used as template to set direction for improvement. With a concerted effort goals would be attainable and a challenge the committee should consider now or in the near future.

Positive Note: To finish on a positive note, I think the club has amazing culture. From my observations the club is welcoming, there’s good humour, a general good feeling with happy members who come for a laugh. I think the club has a good foundation in which to build on and reach new toast mastery heights if it was that way inclined and driven in the future. Last but not least, remember why you are here, what’s your purpose? If you have that clarity, you should have meaning and commitment to consistently attend club meetings. Thanks for the year and presidential opportunity.

Cavendish Club

March Library Report: In March Nicola Gillespie from BNZ spoke to members about the dangers and prevalence of scammers and their attacks on bank accounts and peoples vulnerabilities. She gave us examples of scams in which local people have been duped and in some cases have paid out significant sums of money. She emphasised the truth of the of adage, “that if a thing seems too good to be true then it usually is”. Nicola also reassured us about adjusting to banking without using cheque books and was very willing to answer many questions.

Joan D thanked Nicola and presented her with a grocery voucher.

Cavendish Club – Quiz Day: On Friday April 9, the Cavendish members enjoyed a quiz day. The quiz featured 27 iconic New Zealand places and the challenge was for members to name them. It proved to be a real fun day with lots of discussion as to where many of the places were. Earlier a page with all the name places on it was shared with members, making the quiz a little easier. We all learnt something more about our beautiful country.

Cavendish Club – Fashion parade: On Friday April 23, the members of the Cavendish Club, along with many of their friends were treated to a fun and up to date fashion parade. The fashions were provided by Maxwell’s Fashion, Christchurch. The owner Rosalie was the compare for the day, she gave everyone a detailed description of the garments worn by the models.

Rosalie’s support and help for the fashion parade was very much appreciated.

Everyone enjoyed the afternoon tea that followed , it was a great day enjoyed by all.

Cavendish Club – Garden Circle: We have had two very interesting speakers from different shops in Ashburton, the first in February was April Breading from Mitre 10, who brought many different plants, talked about them and how we should look after them. The plants were for sale too, and many members took advantage of buying something they had not grown before. Our second speaker in April was Nikki from Lushington’s Nursery, and after a general chat about small shrubs and plants in general she showed us how to construct a hanging basket full of pansies. The end result was beautiful. She also showed us how to plant daffodils in a small tub at different levels of soil, because different sized bulbs are planted at different levels, which was very interesting. Nikki answered many questions which concluded an afternoon full of interest and colour.

Creative Fibre

On arrival at The Plains Museum we were greeted with a smile as everyone busied themselves - getting the water boiled for the welcome cup of tea/coffee and generally getting the room ready for our meeting. The Show and Tell table is a drawcard as members displayed their crafts – there was such a large entry that we had to add more tables!

Jill put up a display of felted teapots which she said were her last hurrah until the In-

dings, 21sts and the Hinds Young farmers Annual dinner and the opening of the Automatic Telephone Exchange in Hinds.

The Hinds Lions Dinner was picked up in later year. The Annual Hinds Ploughing match in early days was in a tent in the paddock, starting early with morning tea.

We progressed to a gas cooker made for us by Bert Moore, then we moved on to a shed with electricity and no early starts.

The only time we missed was last year.

We collected “dags’ which were processed at Hulmes Woolstore, to raise money for baby monitors at Ashburton Hospital.

Bev demonstrated these monitors for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh at the Ashburton Domain on the 1981 Royal Tour.

As a branch we have always been a conscientious supporter of Mid Canterbury Provincial and had many members who have had held office.

Longer serving officers in the branch have been Mary Bishop, Joan Moore, Bev Bagrie and Rosaleen Moore. We thank these ladies who have kept the Branch on track.

Methven Golf Club Lions Peter Keeley, Bob Doreen and Roger Paterson. door Bowls season ends. We’ll believe that when we see it!! As well as the usual knitted and crochet garments for children and adults there was a very eye catching beaded picture, dyed yarns of different fibres some based on black or grey fleece. Dyes used were commercial dyes but a cotton dishcloth had been dyed with food colouring and ‘boiled’ in a microwave oven.

With the colder weather putting in an appearance, knitted hats of all sizes, for babies to homeless adults was the flavour of the day. A rug knitted in an Interlac pattern in 3 shades from cream to dark brown was very impressive. Once we had all settled down the Co-Chairperson welcomed everyone with a couple of interesting quotes from Max Cryer. Reports were presented with the Almoner commenting that everyone stayed healthy while she was visiting her daughter – which was just as well as she came home to have a holiday!

The monthly ‘Spin Ins’ are now being called ‘Craft Clusters’ as we do more than just spin or weave. This takes place at the Plains Museum on the first Monday of the month from 10am – 2pm so bring your craft, a cup and your lunch and come and join us. It is not just for Creative Fibre members but is where you can make contact with a mentor who will guide you to where you want to be with your crafts. There is a $2 entry fee to cover the costs of the venue, tea/ coffee etc. We are having the usual Spin In’s on the 5th Monday of the month they happen to fall in at members homes with the next one this month on the 31st May at 71 Middle Road from 10a – 2pm. Bring your craft, a cup and lunch. PLEASE park on the street and walk in to the venue. Thank you.

In the general business it was suggested we ask the Ashburton Library if we could go there for the Annual World Knitting in Public Day on June 12th from 10am to when ever they close. Again the members of the Public are welcome to participate so bring along some needles and wool and join in. Other notices included reminders for Nynke Piebenga’s Weaving workshop on 4th/5th October at the Plains Museum 9:30am–about 4pm. This is for learners and novices with a maximum of 10 people. If you want to learn to weave please contact Pam 027 370 3250 for further information.

Our June 21st meeting is making a novelty Christmas card and crackers for our Mid Winter Christmas/Birthday lunch at the Hotel Ashburton on July 12th. Pam taking bookings now. (Please note this is NOT our usual meeting day!) Sales table has been re – established for Club funds each month and a plea for a handcrafted gift for speakers – something reasonably small yet decorative. 27th June is a Wool Fest at the Addington Raceway with over 40 boutique Traders attending from all over NZ – a good venue to stock up on stash!

Husbands close your Eyes!!!

The Club now has Life Tubes available.

These keep all your important contacts and advice in one place (usually in the fridge! but could be handbag or car) so in an emergency the First Responders can quickly get you sorted with the best care possible. A new group for Stepping Out is being assembled through Age Concern in the Hampstead Area and our members living in the nearby areas are invited to attend at the Oxford St Church back lounge for a weekly charge of $2 to cover costs. A fun way to get balance and fitness sorted. Programme has been designed by the Medical School in Dunedin especially for older persons of all abilities – not just Gym Junkies!

Lions Club Of Ashburton

The May meeting was held at the Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday 5 May. President

Roger Paterson welcomed a good Quiz Night attendance. Included were guest Mike Wells, hosted by Peter Kennard, and inductee Bob Doreen sponsored by Peter Keeley. Lists circulated included Final Club visit of the Lions Year to Geraldine Club, Talleys trip now 20 May in order to meet processing deadlines, and Big Smoke v Rural Folk help required on 26 June.

Barney Parsons gave a ‘forthright’ run down of the success of the Swap Meeting held at Tinwald. Particular mention was made of Lion Manny Sim’s contribution in so many ways to this day. The new Board for next Lions Calendar Year was outlined

by President Roger. Sam Gordon, administration, outlined the application by Hakatere Youth Sports Club for the Club blazer to be given financial assistance and this was agreed to by the meeting.

Our 3 minute speaker was Lion Graham Edge who has been a member of the Lions Club for 19 years. Coming from England , Graham gave a great insight to his upbringing in Birmingham including becoming a round ball code ‘gang’ member of Aston Villa. He watches every game they play to this day! His life path went from sheet metal apprentice to car manufacturing to Australia (after meeting his wife Linda), to New Zealand and then to Ashburton.

In Ashburton Lion Lance Schubert brought Graham to Lions and the rest is history – a great involvement in and service to Lions.

Grace and the Thought for the Day by Lindsay Telfer preceded the club meal and then Colin Morgan led the Quiz with his usual enthusiasm and fun aspect. Raffles and the Tail Twister concluded an enjoyable evening.

The next meeting is Changeover Night at Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday 2 June.

This is a Partners night.

Lynnford Rural Women

Members celebrated 85 years of the Lynnford Rural Women this month with a luncheon at the Lake Hood Restaurant.

Bev welcomed some former members along Margaret Chapman, Area Committee Chair, who spoke of the beginnings of the Rural Women movement from 1925, starting out as Women’s Division of the Farmers Union to 1945 renaming to Women’s Division of Federated Farmers and in 199 to Rural Women and of moving forward.

Margaret Verrall, Provincial President congratulated the branch on their 85 years and Area Leader, Sandra Curd spoke of the younger generation joining different rural groups catering for the needs of todays working women. Jill read the minutes of the inaugural meeting and the first Branch meeting minutes of the Lynnford Women’s Division, creating some amusement. The meetings were held on Saturday afternoons at the Lynnford Hall which was then still a functioning school in 1936. Isabell put out the candles on the cake and two of the longer serving members, Pat and Joan cut the cake. Branch Honours were extended to Marilyn along with flowers and a certificate. On display were photographs and silverware the branch has used for competitions that were run in the earlier days.

The banners for Lynnford and Flemington were hung on the wall.

With the closure of Coldstream and Flemington in 1986 some of their members joined in the comradeship of Lynnford.

Joan took us on a reminiscent journey, starting with how the Lynnford area got it’s name and recalled quite a few amusing incidents which have happened over the years and of the different fund raising activities we have been involved in. Competitions and entertainment are a thing of the past along with the more formal attire worn to meetings. We catered for wed-

The finalists have been found for the Duff Trophy and Middleton Trophy after close semifinals at the Methven Golf Course.

Barrie Begg and Chris Pannett continued their unbeaten run to come from behind to beat Frank Sandys and Eric Grimwade.

They, however, had a bit of golfing luck on the par 3 17th. Pannett’s tee shot hit a tree branch on the right-hand side of the fairway. The ball then deflected on to the green. This allowed Pannett to halve the hole and maintain a 1 up lead. They duly won the 18th to reach their first Duff Trophy final. The other semi-final was just as tight between Peter Harper, Mark Gazzard and Paddy Helmore, Geoff Rhodes. In a thriller Harper and Gazzard finally prevailed on the 19th.

In the Middleton semi-finals defending champions, Michael Kemp and Ben Rutter, combined well to defeat Steve Schwass and Jim Rooney in a close match. In the other match Pete Wood left his best to last with the winning putt on the last hole to win with Piers Rolton. Gavin Santy and Mike Gray fought hard but their efforts were not quite enough.

The finals, this Saturday, promise to be exciting affairs.

Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club

President Julie Begg welcomed members to the May meeting of the Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club. After the National Anthem was sung birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated. A bus trip is being planned to Christchurch on 23 June to visit the new Library and Art Gallery.

After the raffle was drawn the mini speaker was Bev who told of her interesting life.

She remembers as a child sitting on cushions in the family’s 1939 Packard throwing out hay. She attended dances in the Radiant Hall, but when it came time to get married had many tricks played on the couple, even putting the going away car on blocks and meat on the engine, as well as a case full of confetti. They hired a campervan and toured around the USA and Mexico, eventually returning to Ashburton and setting up the Motor Show.

After morning tea members were visited by some women with products of interest – boneless bras.

Thought for the Month: The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or heard, but must be felt with the heart.

The Friendship Club offers support to people who are looking for friends and fellowship.

We have coffee mornings, meetings with interesting speakers, bus trips and more. If you would like to make new friends please phone Avis 308-6539 or Rae 308-8927, they would love to hear from you.

Wakanui Women’s Institute

Wakanui WI celebrated their 88th Birthday with a lovely lunch at Armadillos restaurant. Members then moved to the home of Rosemary Moore for the monthly meeting.

President Juliana Protheroe opened the meeting and members recited the Aspirations. Motto for the month was – Spread love everywhere you go. Treasurer Jeanette Begg reported on the Federation Officers School where the guest speaker informed members about on-line banking.

Members were reminded that baby singlets are required for distribution by Plunket.

Dates and times were advised for forthcoming Federation events and titles given for entries in the Bay and Tray competitions to be staged at the Ashburton A & P Show. Entries were confirmed for the Federation Cup Day on 23rd July.

The afternoon concluded with afternoon tea including a birthday cake celebrating an enjoyable occasion.

Next meeting Wednesday 26th May.

Your Stars

7

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You deserve every rose you’re flung and so many more. If no rose comes by way of florist, metaphor or dirt, seek it out and gift it to yourself, forgiving the critical oversight of the world.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): The omens suggest that you are still trying to make your needs fit nicely into the matrix of everyone else’s. Are they also doing that for you? Would they? Truth inspires adjustments.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You don’t have to say what you want and expect people to feel it. Improving relationships has to do with aligning expectations with what a person can give and wants to give.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): When the flow of ideas hits, it’s like a river rushing over the cliff of your consciousness, crashing impressively down while effervescing up, casting prisms in the sky.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Would you rather be mad with the rest of the world or wise alone? It’s a binary choice of the past that no one with the internet needs to worry about.

Whatever the belief, your tribe is out there.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Wishing is fun. Pretending is slightly harder though also quite fun. Doing it, failing, doing it again, failing again... that’s the part that’s considerably less fun and the only way to get the skill.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The message you give is what someone needs to hear. This perfect meeting of words and a receptive mind is made possible by your willingness to show up, speak out and connect.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The space between a person doing his or her best and the person in need of that service is sacred ground. The skill level or perfection of the product has little relevance to the exchange.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): This thing you want – you’ve conditioned to think that it has to be given by someone else or it doesn’t count. That’s ridiculous. Be first to hand it to yourself and watch the line form behind you.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): To think bigger is to imagine what it means to others outside the circle, over time, beyond your generation. You’ll open yourself to the wider philosophy, the various applications and implications.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Take your time. Everyone’s process is different, and letting things happen unhurried will allow you to learn, savour and retain more. Soon, new information will surface to make the right decision obvious.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If someone thrills you once, you’ll anticipate the next time. Same goes for the one who offended you, although such a person rarely gets a chance at “next time” because you’re long gone.

Reserves on the comeback

Mid Canterbury’s Zac Woolf looks to run down a St Albans attacker on Saturday.

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury United Reserves kept their chances of a top four spot alive on the weekend with a come-from-behind draw against St Albans on the Ashburton Domain.

And their stocks in the reserves competition should gain a considerable boost this weekend too when they head to Christchurch to take on the winless Parklands, in what could prove a crucial game for the remainder of the season for the ever-improving side.

On Saturday, in front of a loud and vocal home crowd, the side found themselves down early in the match after a lucky goal which landed at an opportune spot from a deflection, but they were quickly back into their work and a penalty in the box saw Wesley Torres step up

and bang the ball past the keeper for the equaliser.

An outstanding goal from St Albans put them back on top, however, and Mid Canterbury went into the break down by one and needing a bit of magic to get them level again.

It came, late in the match, when Ben Sutton scored a well worked goal to draw his side level and pick up a valuable competition point in the process.

With two draws and a win from their six matches, Mid Canterbury sit sixth on the standings, but a log-jam in the middle of the table sees them just a win away from bursting into the top four.

Saturday wasn’t quite as happy of an occasion for the Division Four side, who suffered their first defeat of the season against Parklands, losing 0-3 but they still retained second placing on the standings and will head to Christchurch this week to take on Coastal Spirit in a match which

should see them back on track by Saturday evening.

Mid Canterbury’s 15th grade side registered another big victory, winning 9-1 over Cashmere Technical to keep their unbeaten run intact. Up 5-1 at halftime, they bagged four second half goals to round out the match with Muzzamil Khan keeping his goal scoring record going with three for the day, while Elliot Ward who has also scored in all matches bagged a double alongside Lachlan Gardner. Donnie Ross and Xavier Parris added the other two goals.

Methven’s Division One side made it two wins in a row when they beat Halswell United 4-2 on Saturday to push into a top four spot in the hotly contested competition.

They’ll be out to repeat the dose again on Saturday when they head to Christchurch to take on Cashmere Technical.

With just two rounds remaining in the opening segment of Mid Canterbury’s Premier Netball competition, there’s plenty to play for this week with every spot still up for grabs, including the bottom one.

As it currently stands, Ashburton College A are staring down the barrel of potential relegation into Premier 2 unless they can pull a rabbit out of the hat tomorrow night, or even next week, and somehow leap-frog up the team in front of them in the standings.

Without a win next to their name for the season so far – but with some really encouraging performances despite the defeats – the task isn’t easy for the young side, with United this week and then Hampstead seven days later.

The match is also equally important for United tomorrow night, because if they can win, they’ll head to a final round clash with Celtic which could see them right in the hunt for the top spot at the end of the first round.

Celtic will play the late game this week when they take on Methven.

With both sides tied on the same number of competition points, and just one point behind both United and Hampstead, there’s a good chance of the winner also being in a great spot to try and shoot for a top-spot finish at the end of next week’s play.

This week’s other round will see Southern, who picked up their first win of the competition, last week against College, take on defending champions Hampstead, who bounced back from a defeat two weeks ago to demolish Celtic last week.

The Southern girls looked impressive last Thursday night, but will need to lift again if they are to combat a very strong Hampstead side who still appear to be the team to beat in the competition.
