METHVEN’S COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER -“Powered by Wirelessweb” Thursday 15<br />
The ‘Friendly’ Triathlon<br />
Julie Clements<br />
Achievable goals was the order<br />
of the day last Friday at the first<br />
Triathlon organised by local<br />
friendly event,<br />
Steph and her<br />
team did a great<br />
Personal Trainer Steph Meredith.<br />
job. There was a<br />
Around 40 women, three fellas and two<br />
BBQ and bouncy<br />
youngsters gathered to take part in<br />
castle just past<br />
the event at the Methven Resort, more<br />
the finish line at<br />
to challenge themselves than to race<br />
Steph’s for all<br />
against each other.<br />
the <strong>co</strong>mpetitors,<br />
It all started with the 200m swim in<br />
families and<br />
the Resort’s pool, which thankfully was a<br />
supporters. Many<br />
balmy 28° then onto bikes for a 12.5km<br />
were so inspired<br />
ride through town and <strong>co</strong>ncluded<br />
that not only would they take part again next year but some were<br />
the 4km run/walk at Steph’s place on<br />
even talking about entering Women on Wheels.<br />
Methven Chertsey Rd.<br />
Josephine Watson said “I would en<strong>co</strong>urage all people<br />
Steph said “My clients were looking for<br />
wanting to have a go at a triathlon to enter this one next<br />
something to do after the Winter Weight<br />
year. Anyone can do it - all ages, fitness levels. The sense of<br />
Loss Challenge and so I suggested this<br />
achievement is wonderful, and it is so much fun.”<br />
event. I was expecting between 10 and<br />
20 to sign up and was surprised when<br />
A busy Steph Meredith Congratulations to winners Mandy McTigue with the fastest<br />
time of 50mins and Dan Van der Salm fastest male time at<br />
43 people registered. Then the questions started about nutrition, 55mins.<br />
before and during the event and training schedules, I realised<br />
how seriously they were taking it all.”<br />
The participants were made up of locals from Methven,<br />
Mayfield, Anama and Mt Somers, all different fitness levels,<br />
Well done to everyone for getting out there and challenging<br />
yourselves.<br />
young and old, new mothers, first time triathletes and more<br />
experienced. The youngest was Olly Hood at 10, closely<br />
followed by his brother Harry at 11, the oldest <strong>co</strong>mpetitor at 65<br />
was Brian Humm. He said “If you don’t use it, you lose it!”<br />
Olly and Harry were in Team Hood with Mum Becky and<br />
not only did they <strong>co</strong>mplete the event in 51 minutes but they won<br />
prizes as the youngest <strong>co</strong>mpetitors. Becky said “I hope it will<br />
en<strong>co</strong>urage more mums and dads to enter next year with their<br />
children.”<br />
Despite some nervous looks at registration, everyone<br />
seemed keen to get going. Prior to the event Margaret Feiss said<br />
“I am excited and a little apprehensive; its my first time doing<br />
anything like this. I am doing it as a challenge for myself as I feel<br />
it is achievable.” And afterwards, “I am really proud of myself to<br />
have finished the event, unharmed. The personal challenge is a<br />
very emotive thing.”<br />
Liz McMillan, Keryn Hooker and Jess Walker all agreed that<br />
they were looking forward to it and their goal was to ‘finish’. “It’s<br />
all a bit new to start worrying about times.” Liz said.<br />
Janine Holland at the start said “I’m as ready as I’ll ever<br />
be. The swim is my least favourite but I’m ok with the rest, the<br />
interesting thing will be to put all three together.”<br />
Carol Wilson, a best dressed winner, turned up in a pink<br />
and black affair <strong>co</strong>mplete with cape and mask, she said, “I’m in<br />
disguise so no one will know who came in last! This is all a bit of<br />
fun and I’m looking forward to it.”<br />
Other prize winners were, Janine Holland, Liz McMillan,<br />
Tokiyo Hall, and Josephine Tanner for best dressed, whilst Emma<br />
Dudley from Mt Somers won Liz McMillan’s $50 Intimo voucher<br />
for most improved, she came in under her expected time and<br />
Steph said “Emma was really hard to <strong>co</strong>nvince to enter the race,<br />
and look how well she has done!”<br />
The general <strong>co</strong>nsensus was that this was a well run, very<br />

From the Editor<br />
It has been brought to our attention that<br />
a security alarm has been going off in<br />
the middle of the night every night for the<br />
last 3 weeks. Possibly from the Line Road<br />
area.<br />
Could everyone please check their<br />
alarm systems, the residents in that area<br />
are tired of being woken up.<br />
Many thanks<br />

Annual General Meeting<br />
Monday 3 rd December<br />
8pm<br />
Netball Pavilion, Chertsey Road<br />
Methven
Principal’s Column Alison Lilley<br />
This will be the last <strong>co</strong>lumn I write as there will be a new Principal<br />
at Our Lady of the Snows School next year. A change in staff is a<br />
time of great opportunity for a school and each person brings their<br />
own strengths to the position of Principal. Schools are very <strong>co</strong>mplex<br />
<strong>co</strong>mmunities. Each child <strong>co</strong>mes from a different family, often a different<br />
culture and is an individual in their own right. All of these factors also apply to the staff.<br />
Even a small school such as ours involves hundreds of interactions between people. For<br />
nearly one hundred years this has been the case. Schools are people places!<br />
I have loved my 11 years teaching at this school. Perhaps this is partly because it is by<br />
far the longest I have spent in any one school. I am a past pupil of Catholic Schools so<br />
the values and beliefs we teach in the school are familiar and positive. The <strong>co</strong>mmunity<br />
support for the school is amazing; both from parents and the wider Methven Community.<br />
Having been a parent of school aged children; I have a far more understanding attitude<br />
to how busy family life is. There is an ever growing search by parents to develop the<br />
spiritual, social and emotional strength of their children when they are already very<br />
fortunate materially.<br />
The New Zealand Curriculum allows children to set their own direction far more in<br />
learning and widens their horizons. I know reading, writing and mathematics are vitally<br />
important but that they are tools and pathways for other great learning. For 21st century<br />
education Guy Claxon of the UK writes “we need a growing army of teachers dedicated<br />
to helping young people develop the mind sets they will need to flourish in a tricky<br />
world- through the results of their small scale classroom experiments.” I think National<br />
Standard information forms only a small part of reporting on learning and in time it will<br />
stop being seen as the only thing being focussed on by government and the media and<br />
be<strong>co</strong>me an important part of the mix in education.<br />
really must thank some people. In Methven and the surrounding area all the schools<br />
I work well together and other teachers and Principals have given me tremendous<br />
support. The teachers at Our Lady of the Snows, past and present do an amazing job.<br />
Margaret McLeod is a legend in administration in the office. The people on our Boards<br />
of Trustees have an increasingly<br />
<strong>co</strong>mplex job and they do it for<br />
the children. Grateful thanks to<br />
Tracey Clemens, Phil McKendry<br />
and Myles Connew who have<br />
Chaired the Board in recent<br />
times. But the school is for the<br />
children and their growth and<br />
development in all aspects of<br />
learning. They are the most<br />
exciting members in any school<br />
<strong>co</strong>mmunity.<br />

This award is for “A school leaver who, every day, faces life with <strong>co</strong>urage, determination, dignity and good humour”.<br />
The 2012 Mount Hutt College Everyday Hero recipient is - Jonny Callaghan<br />
The performances by the students were amazing, including<br />
a guitar solo by Thomas Klever (left). The awards table was<br />
groaning under the weight of trophies. Guest Speaker, Nathan<br />
Faavae was funny, humble despite his achievements and an<br />
inspiration to the Seniors, especially those leaving this year.
Lauriston School News<br />
Our topic focus at Lauriston School this year has been<br />
“Change”.<br />
This term we are looking at kitchen chemistry and experimenting<br />
with reactions that cause change. Experiments have included making five minute ice<br />
cream and finding out why hot water is better than <strong>co</strong>ld water for making jelly. We also<br />
now know that a whole egg can blow up in a microwave and if you don’t put baking<br />
powder in your s<strong>co</strong>nes you get something resembling hockey putts!<br />
The 5 and 6 year olds in Mt Peel are also watching the changes happening in their<br />
vegetable garden. The radishes have sprouts, the first beans and peas are poking<br />
through and we have netting in place to stop the birds and school chooks eating our<br />
little lettuces. Our potatoes are loving the extra water they get from the drinking fountain.<br />
We are waiting for the threat of frosts to pass before we transplant our lettuces, as we<br />
have learnt about the change that can happen to plant with a frost.<br />

OLS News Student Council<br />
At Our Lady of the Snows school, year 7 and 8 pupils make up<br />
our student <strong>co</strong>uncil.<br />
Earlier in the year we decided our major project would be to fund<br />
raise for a portable sound system that <strong>co</strong>uld be used for big events<br />
like pet day and swimming sports but also for aerobics and jump<br />
jam fitness outside on the <strong>co</strong>urts.<br />
We have been busy selling baking on pet day and we organised a school dis<strong>co</strong>. We<br />
also had a wacky hair day and children paid a gold <strong>co</strong>in donation.<br />
All the fundraising has been fun activities.<br />
Today Mr Peter Garde presented us with a cheque for $2000 dollars from the Methven<br />
Lions Club so that we can go ahead and buy the sound system before we leave the<br />
school and present it to younger students.<br />
big thank you to all the men in Lions because we know what a lot of work goes into<br />
A fundraising. We will be the waiters and waitresses at the Lions Dinner and we are<br />
sure you will enjoy the meal!!<br />

Thanks to Farm Right for sponsoring<br />

Mt Hutt Thanks You.... James McKe<strong>nz</strong>ie<br />
You would be forgiven to think we are still in the thick of the ski season given that<br />
well over a metre of snow has fallen in the four weeks since Mt Hutt closed. In<br />
bygone years, we may well have pushed out our closing date more than we did<br />
but there are many risks doing this and the gains we make at the height of the season<br />
can be quickly frittered away with a <strong>co</strong>uple of low visitor weeks at the end.<br />
In short, Mt Hutt had good season. In a year when many other ski areas saw a drop<br />
in their numbers, we finished up with 30% more visitors <strong>co</strong>mpared to last year. We are<br />
obviously en<strong>co</strong>uraged by this but re<strong>co</strong>gnise we have plenty of challenges ahead of us<br />
to get back up to pre-earthquake visitor levels. Until this happens, our plans for facility<br />
improvements will need to move forward at a slightly slower pace. Nevertheless we are<br />
delighted to announce a capital investment programme exceeding $1m this summer<br />
and I will be <strong>co</strong>mmunicating more details about this over the <strong>co</strong>ming months.<br />
Whilst it is impossible to attribute our growth on one particular aspect I think the<br />
Kids4free initiative, introduced for the first time this season, was a key factor. The impact<br />
of this initiative would have been significantly less without the support of the local travel,<br />
food, ski rental and ac<strong>co</strong>mmodation providers who really got behind the campaign to<br />
ensure that Mt Hutt/Methven had something very unique and <strong>co</strong>mpelling to offer families<br />
seeking a premier but affordable ski experience.<br />
On behalf of the team at NZSki, I would like to pass on my sincere thanks to these<br />
businesses for their forward thinking and <strong>co</strong>ntinued support. We plan to push the<br />
Kids4free message further and wider in the run-up to the 2013 season and I am<br />
<strong>co</strong>nfident we can <strong>co</strong>ntinue to build on the gains we have made and attract many more<br />
visitors to Methven next winter.<br />
In the meantime, bring on the sunshine and warmer days and have a great summer!<br />
THE BROWN PUB<br />
Been in to try the nearly summer menu yet?<br />
It’s a tester for the summer menu and we’re trying some new things - why don’t you<br />
<strong>co</strong>me in and let us know what you think of our Tex Mex food! Fajitas, burritos, texan burgers,<br />
ribs or chicken parmesan anyone?<br />
Just before you panic. Don’t. The Brown’s favs are still there too.<br />
Jug promo still on – For every jug purchased Sun – Thurs you get a stamp – buy 8 get one free – pretty wicked. Cheers, Trev.
Grow Your Own Mary Ralston<br />
In last week’s <strong>co</strong>lumn I made a mistake – I said that yams,<br />
being day-length sensitive, should be planted well before<br />
the shortest day – I should have said longest day!<br />
This <strong>co</strong>ming weekend is Show Weekend and the mythical<br />
time when it is supposedly safe to plant heat-loving and<br />
frost-sensitive crops such as tomatoes, beans, zucchinis,<br />
pumpkins and <strong>co</strong>rn.<br />
We all know that frosts can happen here at any time of the<br />
year and this year seems particularly chilly! But still it is worth the risk that we will get a<br />
frost and/or <strong>co</strong>ld damp weather, and things do grow fast once the sun <strong>co</strong>mes out so we<br />
may as well get things in the ground. Be ready with the frost cloth, bags and buckets<br />
on calm <strong>co</strong>ol evenings and go out before dark to <strong>co</strong>ver things up. There’s nothing<br />
worse than waking up at 2am and trying to <strong>co</strong>nvince yourself to go out and <strong>co</strong>ver the<br />
tomatoes.<br />
If you are buying tomatoes to plant outside, I would get the small cherry tomatoes –<br />
these will have the best chance of ripening in our fickle climate. My favourite variety<br />
is Sweet 100. To speed things up, it can<br />
be worth planting seedlings rather than<br />
seeds, and in the case of tomatoes,<br />
buying bigger ones rather than tiny. We<br />
are lucky there is a good choice of plants<br />
to buy ready-to-plant and that way you<br />
can get a few weeks ahead.<br />
Beans are a great thing to grow and it is<br />
nice to try several varieties. I grow the<br />
dwarf types and the reliable climbers<br />
Scarlet Runner and Shiny Fardenlosa.<br />
The climbers need tall supports such as<br />
wire netting attached to a frame made<br />
from steel posts, or a teepee made from<br />
bamboo or other sticks.<br />
Have a good weekend – let’s hope for<br />
good planting weather!<br />

Shotokan Karate Club held their<br />
gradings. To move up to the next<br />

various karate routines to the 3 judges<br />
satisfaction.<br />
Some of the younger members were<br />
quite nervous before their turn, but<br />
once they got into their routines, nerves<br />
soon fell away and they all did really<br />
well.<br />

A<br />
Television Award for<br />
Bob Grieve<br />
recent surprise arrival at his parent’s<br />
house in Methven, Bob Grieve,<br />
currently living in London, England,<br />
arranged a short visit to attend the New<br />
Zealand Television Awards in Auckland on<br />
Saturday, 3 November.<br />
Some of Snowfed’s readers may<br />
remember “Bob’s View” – a <strong>co</strong>lumn written<br />
by Bob during his senior year at Mt Hutt<br />
College. After high school, Bob pursued<br />
his interest in television and achieved a<br />
Bachelor of Broadcasting degree at CPIT,<br />
and has worked with TV3 News as both<br />
editor and cameraman over the past nine<br />
years. In February of this year, he and<br />
his wife Martha moved to London where<br />
Bob took up the position of European<br />
cameraman.<br />
In September, Bob learned he had been<br />
nominated for two awards – one for best<br />
cameraman, and one for best currant<br />
affairs editing. The award for best<br />
cameraman went to a TV3 workmate,<br />
and Bob received the New Zealand<br />
Television Award for Best Currant Affairs<br />
Editing for the “60 Minutes” documentary<br />
“After Shock” about the Christchurch<br />
Earthquakes.<br />
Although it was a very fleeting trip, it<br />
was a chance to catch up with friends<br />
and family before returning to London.<br />

Methven Tennis Club News<br />
Kiwi Tennis is run on a Monday<br />
night by Annette Talbot and fellow<br />
<strong>co</strong>aches, Irene Duff and Sue<br />
Furndorfler. There are over 50 children<br />
involved in this fun programme. The<br />
children are learning some great skills.<br />
Ladies Tennis runs on Monday<br />
mornings starting at 10 o’clock. For more<br />
information please phone Annette Talbot<br />
on 303 0797.<br />
Adults Twilight tennis is well under<br />
way. This is a social doubles <strong>co</strong>mpetition<br />
held on Tuesday evenings. Leading the<br />
table after Round 4 is Peter S<strong>co</strong>tt. Also<br />
clocking up some good s<strong>co</strong>res are Kim<br />
Turney, Sandra Marr, Tim Robinson and<br />
Rob Turney. There have been some close<br />
games and some very serious social<br />
tennis going on!<br />
We have eleven teams involved in<br />
the Mid Canterbury Junior Competition<br />
and A Reserve. The children are very<br />
lucky to receive <strong>co</strong>aching from Mid<br />
Canterbury Tennis Coach Chris Anderson<br />
on Thursdays here in Methven. Hopefully<br />
all players have had a start. We now<br />
just need the weather to be kind so we<br />
can really get going. Because we have<br />
so many teams this year rather than<br />
publishing all results we will profile a team<br />
each week. Full results are published in<br />
the Ashburton Guardian each week on a<br />
Tuesday.<br />
Thank you to John and Jane<br />
Wright who kindly fixed the gap under<br />
the fence on <strong>co</strong>urt three, by supplying<br />
the <strong>co</strong>st of the materials and labour to<br />
do so! Also thanks to KT’s who have<br />
offered up their time and machinery to<br />
cut some tree roots, which are starting<br />
to cause cracking on <strong>co</strong>urt 3. The club<br />
appreciates your support!<br />
