Sheepish charms just say cheese<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> couplemake the most of highproducing flock<br />
By Toni Williams<br />
Aboutique sheep milking operation<br />
on the edge of<strong>Ashburton</strong> is making<br />
cheese while the sun shines.<br />
But decisions on its futurewill need<br />
to be made soon.<br />
Hipi Cheese, owned and operated<br />
by Jacy andAllan Ramsay, of <strong>Ashburton</strong>,<br />
started more than four years ago<br />
as they worked through their sheep<br />
milking processes.<br />
Their first milkingwas in November<br />
2017.<br />
The couple, who both work other<br />
jobs, have amicrofarm block ofjust<br />
under two hectares which stocks 24<br />
mostly East Friesian milking ewes but<br />
in the past few seasons has included<br />
Dairymead genetics with ‘‘a dash of<br />
Awassi’’.<br />
The milk is naturally A2.<br />
It’sanideal stocking numberfor the<br />
size ofthe land, and toensure udder<br />
health remains at optimum levels with<br />
no somatic cell count issues.<br />
Someofthe white ewesare closer to<br />
pets as many of the ewes accept<br />
regular hand feeding, especially if it’s<br />
maize, like lollies to sheep.<br />
They are easily identified through<br />
their markings, orpersonalities, such<br />
as curiousfour year old Mickey, or the<br />
fearless Cassianna, or the cheeky<br />
Black Witch.<br />
‘‘They are not really pets because<br />
they work hard producing good milk<br />
for us,’’ Jacy says.<br />
The couple, along with help from<br />
son Hamish,10, arenearing theend of<br />
their lambing season; it started on<br />
XR150 FARM BIKE<br />
150cc4stroke<br />
Electric start<br />
<strong>September</strong> 8,and traditionally has a<br />
narrow 17 to 20day window.<br />
Eight of the ewes were expecting<br />
triplets, and the rest twins, but there<br />
were asurprise set of quadruplets.<br />
They have shorn most ofthe mob,<br />
with just two younger ewes who have<br />
kept their wool.<br />
Shearing sheep in winter is like<br />
turning on the eating switch, which<br />
helps to develop bigger lambs, Allan<br />
says.<br />
Onceborn the lambs stay withtheir<br />
mothers to get a good start and,<br />
Jacy and alamb and, right, Jacy at the milking unit and aewe and lambs.<br />
depending on their future, may be<br />
kept, sold as pets, or sold to other<br />
breeders.<br />
‘‘After aweek orsowetake them<br />
off mum for afew hours before we<br />
milkthen they go backtogether forthe<br />
rest ofthe day and night,’’ Jacy says.<br />
‘‘While they are off their mums I<br />
bottle feed any that want afeed and<br />
introduce meal.<br />
‘‘It isagentle weaning process that<br />
results in our lambs being pretty<br />
friendly.’’<br />
Allan says sheep can be lambing as<br />
Introducing our new team members<br />
with excellent product knowledge and<br />
willing to go that extra mile for you!<br />
aone year old but they need to be a<br />
liveweight ofaround 50kgs.<br />
Most of the adult ewes weigh<br />
around 70 to 75kgs.<br />
Jacy and Allan have spent the past<br />
few years getting established withtheir<br />
sheep stock and processes.<br />
They run thesheep, milkthem,then<br />
process the milk for cheese themselves.<br />
It’s a path that has come from<br />
knowing people in the industry, and<br />
making the most ofthe opportunity.<br />

Urgent report proposed<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council is<br />
preparing an urgent<br />
submission to the Government’s<br />
Essential<br />
Freshwater proposals<br />
and is worried by the<br />
tight deadline for submissions<br />
October 17<br />
(now extended to October<br />
31).<br />
Chief executive<br />
officer Hamish Riach<br />
said responding within<br />
the timeframe was<br />
going to be difficult,<br />
and even extending the<br />
deadline to the end of<br />
October would be of<br />
little value.<br />
Local body elections<br />
are on October 12, further<br />
complicating the<br />
situation.<br />
Mayor Donna Favel,<br />
who was at a Ministry<br />
for the Environment<br />
meeting in <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
attended by 350 farmers<br />
many from other areas<br />
said the proposals<br />
announced by Environment<br />
Minister David<br />
Parker and Agriculture<br />
Minister Damien<br />
O’Connor concerned<br />
many.<br />
The Canterbury<br />
Mayoral Forum was<br />
also concerned at the<br />
tight deadline and<br />
Local Government New<br />
Zealand was ‘‘rallying<br />
the troops’’.<br />
She had contacted<br />
Members of Parliament<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> couple milk sheep to make cheese<br />
From Page 1<br />
‘‘There is a real art to<br />
keeping sheep calm and<br />
trained for milking. It’s<br />
not really something that<br />
someone who struggles<br />
with traditional cow dairy<br />
farming would enjoy,’’<br />
Jacy says.<br />
‘‘The cost of feed is not<br />
cheap, we feed about a<br />
cup of maize per sheep<br />
per day which makes<br />
them easier to handle.’’<br />
But she admits working<br />
with the sheep is fun,<br />
even if ‘‘perfecting our<br />
cheese is becoming an<br />
obsession’’.<br />
The milking plant,<br />
which takes six at atime,<br />
has the same basic<br />
features as a<strong>19</strong>60s cow<br />
Hamish Riach Donna Favel Dr Tim Mackle<br />
on the proposals.<br />
The regional council,<br />
Environment Canterbury,<br />
was also preparing<br />
a report which the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council was<br />
likely to back.<br />
Mrs Favel said the<br />
only report she could<br />
find onhow the Essential<br />
Freshwater reform<br />
might impact the district<br />
was a report prepared<br />
for the Selwyn Te<br />
Waihora zone on the<br />
implications of meeting<br />
the National Policy<br />
Statement for Freshwater<br />
Management.<br />
It said that to meet<br />
those requirements,<br />
operating surplus<br />
returns (for that area)<br />
would be cut 80 per<br />
cent, from $348m to<br />
$45m ayear.<br />
shed with some 20<strong>19</strong><br />
features, such as a vacuum<br />
pump and modern<br />
pulsators, Allan jokes.<br />
Milking takes around<br />
half an hour, averaging<br />
around 30litres of milk,<br />
followed by intense<br />
hygiene cleaning time.<br />
Then the milk is<br />
pasteurised ready for<br />
cheesemaking.<br />
‘‘We think this is the<br />
best way to capture the<br />
freshness from the pasture<br />
the sheep are eating.<br />
‘‘When our sheep have<br />
a change in pasture it’s<br />
reflected in the cheese,<br />
the changes can be from<br />
different herbs in the<br />
pasture or season and<br />
growth stage,’’ she said.<br />
‘‘We process every day<br />
in what we think is the<br />
smallest cheese processing<br />
room in NZ.’’<br />
It then goes into the<br />
‘‘cheese cave’’ for maturation<br />
for four to 24<br />
months getting turned<br />
regularly.<br />
The hard cheese is<br />
then sold at Farmers’<br />
Markets in <strong>Ashburton</strong>,<br />
Geraldine and Oxford or<br />
through Facebook.<br />
‘‘Our cheese production<br />
islimited tohard<br />
cheese as it is accepted<br />
this is the safest cheese to<br />
produce for sale,’’ Jacy<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Getting everything up<br />
to risk management programme<br />
standard for<br />
The land use change<br />
analysis projected a<br />
substantial change in<br />
land use, with virtually<br />
no intensive land uses<br />
and the catchment<br />
dominated by dryland<br />
beef and sheep grazing<br />
and by forestry and<br />
other extensive land<br />
uses.<br />
Mrs Favel said she<br />
supported <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
council producing its<br />
own submission.<br />
At the council’s final<br />
meeting this term of its<br />
Finance and Business<br />
Support Committee, Cr<br />
Stuart Wilson said it<br />
was idiotic and the Government<br />
was trying to<br />
‘‘ram it through’’.<br />
Mr Riach said the<br />
council did not have the<br />
time orability to question<br />
the science in the<br />
proposals and would<br />
focus on the potential<br />
economic impacts of<br />
the proposal and<br />
‘‘express our concern’’.<br />
Committee chairman<br />
Russell Ellis said the<br />
submission had ‘‘high<br />
level importance’’.<br />
Mr Riach said the<br />
council understood the<br />
importance and<br />
urgency.<br />
Meanwhile, Rangitata<br />
MP Andrew Falloon<br />
said the reform<br />
Ministry for Primary<br />
Industries is a big challenge<br />
and a big investment.<br />
The process is<br />
really robust and when<br />
you go through the process<br />
you start to realise<br />
that it is so important that<br />
we produce safe food.’’<br />
It would cost too much<br />
to consider expanding<br />
their operation to all<br />
cheese types or raw milk.<br />
They have only started<br />
selling this year at the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Farmers Market,<br />
but can sell five times<br />
more in Geraldine, due<br />
to the tourist markets.<br />
‘‘Having a chat with<br />
our customers is apart we<br />
really enjoy. They come<br />
from all walks of life and<br />
could fundamentally<br />
change farming and our<br />
economy, but incredibly,<br />
the Government<br />
was refusing to release<br />
the full economic<br />
modelling of the<br />
impacts ofthe reforms<br />
until after the consultation<br />
process.<br />
The primary sector<br />
accounted for more<br />
than half of exports and<br />
employed thousands of<br />
people in Mid Canterbury.<br />
‘‘Auckland has the<br />
most polluted waterways<br />
in New Zealand,<br />
but is only mentioned<br />
three times in the<br />
103page report; farmers<br />
are mentioned<br />
more than 250 times.<br />
‘‘In recentyears we’ve<br />
seen dairy farmers<br />
achieve 98 per cent of<br />
waterways fenced from<br />
stock, and more than $1b<br />
environmental investment<br />
in things like<br />
riparian planting.’’<br />
Meanwhile, DairyNZ<br />
chief executive Dr Tim<br />
Mackle said farmers<br />
needed time to consider<br />
the Government’s proposal<br />
and to carefully<br />
weigh up the impact it<br />
may have on their farms,<br />
families and communities.<br />
“Spring isabusy time<br />
for farmers with calving,<br />
lambing and mating.<br />
They have alot on their<br />
plate at the moment and<br />
this isadding toit.<br />
“We are seeing public<br />
meetings where the Ministry<br />
for the Environment<br />
has set up 200 chairs and<br />
had more than double<br />
that number show up.’’<br />
can see that our producing<br />
animals have a<br />
good life style,’’ Jacy says.<br />
European travellers<br />
were particularly fond of<br />
the sheep product but<br />
Kiwi’s have been a bit<br />
reserved to try it, but<br />
those who have were<br />
pleasantly surprised.<br />
The Ramsays have<br />
perfected their cheese<br />
product, and are now<br />
hopeful Mid Cantabrians<br />
will jump atthe chance<br />
to lay claim to having<br />
their own ‘‘artisan style<br />
cheese maker’’ in the<br />
district.<br />
‘‘We need to make<br />
work of this, make it<br />
work at this level for our<br />
animals,’’ Allan says.<br />

Candidates put their case<br />
Sixteen local body election<br />
candidates put their case<br />
for the community’s vote at<br />
a meeting organised by<br />
Greypower <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Around 70 seniors<br />
turned out for the meeting.<br />
Speakers included mayoral<br />
candidates Donna Favel,<br />
Neil Brown and Leen<br />
Braam. The fourth candidate,<br />
retired <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
businessman Tony Todd,<br />
was overseas.<br />
All nine <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Ward candidates attended,<br />
two of the four Eastern<br />
Ward candidates and two<br />
of the three Western Ward<br />
candidates, as did Environmental<br />
Canterbury (ECan)<br />
candidate Sarah Walters.<br />
Each candidate was<br />
introduced by Greypower<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> vicepresident<br />
Colin Cameron in alphabetical<br />
order and given<br />
three minutes to talk about<br />
why they should be voted<br />
in.<br />
Current <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Ward councillor Thelma<br />
Bell said she was passionate<br />
about advocating for <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
and was a‘‘mother,<br />
wife, community leader’’<br />
and trained school teacher.<br />
She believed in the value<br />
of volunteering and, if elected,<br />
would build on her<br />
experience from the current<br />
term.<br />
Leen Braam, who is<br />
standing for mayor and in<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Ward, said<br />
Colin Cameron introduces candidates<br />
he believed the council had<br />
made progress in areas such<br />
as planning for the rejuvenation<br />
of the CBD, the civic<br />
project and library and with<br />
the Chinese village heritage<br />
project.<br />
He said he had the skills<br />
and vision to serve the<br />
community and would<br />
listen, communicate and<br />
think strategically in<br />
decision making.<br />
Fellow mayoral candidate<br />
Neil Brown said he<br />
had 15 years experience on<br />
council and was an ‘‘<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
man through and<br />
through’’.<br />
He wanted to make the<br />
district a good place for<br />
future generations and to<br />
secure its economic future.<br />
Rates needed to be kept<br />
as low as possible and the<br />
focus should be on essential<br />
services.<br />
Roading was akey issue,<br />
he said.<br />
Carolyn Cameron said<br />
she was concerned with the<br />
CBD.<br />
It was full of weeds,<br />
empty shops and ‘‘needed<br />
fixing’’.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> Ward<br />
candidate said she supported<br />
an information centre,<br />
wanted pot holes prioritised,<br />
wanted a tidy town<br />
and urged the seniors to<br />
vote for change if they<br />
weren’t happy with the<br />
work of the current council.<br />
Rochelle CastleWilson<br />
said she was ‘‘the rookie’’ in<br />
the election and new to the<br />
region.<br />
This was her chance to<br />
give something back to the<br />
community.<br />
She had ‘‘no fancy<br />
slogans’’, but believed in<br />
common sense and fiscal<br />
prudence and would use<br />
her experience and skills to<br />
contribute.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> accountant<br />
John Falloon said he would<br />
use his experience to ensure<br />
council spent wisely if elected<br />
in the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Ward.<br />
He believed in ‘‘getting<br />
the basics right’’.<br />
Current mayor Donna<br />
Favel said she wanted to<br />
continue to advocate for<br />
the district and to make it<br />
an even better place to live<br />
and work.<br />
She saw her role as an<br />
‘‘enabler’’ and was proud of<br />
the achievements ticked off<br />
by council this term.<br />
Fourth generation Mid<br />
Cantabrian Rodger<br />
Letham said there was ‘‘no<br />
magic wand and no easy<br />
answers’’ in local government.<br />
Getting the infrastructure<br />
of the district right<br />
was key, said the Western<br />
Ward candidate.<br />
Former <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
mayor Angus McKay said<br />
he had a‘‘deep love and<br />
passion’’ for the district that<br />
had been reignited recently.<br />
He said there needed to<br />
be tangible change and<br />
council needed to listen to<br />
the community first ‘‘before<br />
debating, discussing and<br />
deciding’’ on issues.<br />
Rates needed to be kept<br />
low, people needed to be<br />
attracted to the district and<br />
there needed to be sensible<br />
budgeting and lower debt.<br />
Liz McMillan, who<br />
standing in the Western<br />
Ward, said she was the<br />
youngest of the current<br />
crop on council and had ‘‘a<br />
lot to offer’’.<br />
She was active in the<br />
community, had taken on<br />
more responsibilities this<br />
term and was ‘‘all about<br />
common sense’’.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Ward candidate<br />
Selwyn Price said he<br />
wanted open and transparent<br />
decision making to continue<br />
around the council<br />
table.<br />
The council ‘‘had tidied<br />
up the messes’’ of previous<br />
councils to some extent and<br />
he had spoken out when he<br />
did not agree with decisions.<br />
His stand on the proposed<br />
relocation of the East<br />
Street fountain and the<br />
right of way access for St<br />
John had resulted in both<br />
decisions being revoked.<br />
Councillor Diane Rawlinson<br />
said she had enjoyed<br />
her three years on council<br />
and wanted to return.<br />
Roads and water were<br />
important to her and she<br />
was referred to by some as<br />
‘‘the pot hole lady’’ because<br />
of her road and pavement<br />
vigilance.<br />
There were exciting<br />
times ahead with the CBD<br />
redevelopment and she saw<br />
her role as a ‘‘connector’<br />
between the community<br />
and council.<br />
Eastern Ward candidate<br />
Philip Rushton said he<br />
wanted to drive costs down<br />
and bring back the saleyards<br />
to the district.<br />
Ash Shah said he was fed<br />
up with rate rises and<br />
wanted to apply his<br />
accountancy skills in the<br />
councillor role.<br />
Eastern Ward candidate<br />
Stuart Wilson said he<br />
believed councillors should<br />
serve everyone in the district,<br />
regardless of their<br />
ward.<br />
He was the ‘‘grandfather’’<br />
of the council, but<br />
had the experience and<br />
knowledge ‘‘to keep up with<br />
things’’.<br />
Roads were not up to<br />
scratch, he said, but progress<br />
had been made.<br />
The final presenter was<br />
ECan candidate Sarah<br />
Walters, who said the<br />
declared climate emergency<br />
and water concerns were<br />
big issues ahead.<br />
She promised to work<br />
hard to help end the divisions<br />
between urban and<br />
rural communities, because<br />
‘‘both sides needed to do<br />

Water proposals get immediate attention of rural sector<br />

the Government mentions<br />
water, and rules, it<br />
will get the attention of<br />
the rural sector.<br />
The measures proposed<br />
for Essential<br />

are still proposals drew<br />
an almost instant<br />

Erosion, water, hot fair topics<br />
By Greta Yeoman<br />
Erosion, water quality<br />
and sustainability were<br />
hot topics at this year’s<br />
Sanford Science and<br />
Technology Fair, committee<br />
member Derek Vogel<br />
says.<br />
More than 250 exhibits<br />
by Year 79 pupils were<br />
entered in the Aoraki<br />
science competition,<br />
which was held at Caroline<br />
Bay Hall, Timaru,<br />
last week.<br />
Winners had received<br />
more than $10,000 in<br />
prizes and prize money,<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Vogel said there<br />
had been more erosionrelated<br />
projects this year,<br />
which reflected the<br />
ongoing issues at Patiti<br />
Point and other areas of<br />
South Canterbury.<br />
‘‘A lot of the projects<br />
have been unique to Timaru.’’<br />
‘‘[They are topics] that<br />
have been in the news.’’<br />
Erosion was the topic of<br />
choice for overall third<br />
placegetter Madeline<br />
Page, from <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Borough School.<br />
The 11yearold Year 7<br />
pupil, whose project was<br />
about the best native<br />
plants toslow down erosion,<br />
had entered the<br />
competition for the first<br />
time, placing third and<br />
also getting agold award.<br />
She was also awarded<br />
the Irricon Resource<br />
Solutions Junior Gold<br />
award for the Best<br />
Creativity and Resourcefulness<br />
category, along<br />
with being Highly Commended<br />
in an Environment<br />
Canterbury award<br />
category.<br />
Maddie had chosen to<br />
focusonplants becauseit<br />
was topic she was familiar<br />
with.<br />
‘‘I really like them,’’<br />
she said of native plants.<br />
First place winner<br />
Daniel Poulter, from<br />
Gleniti School, had<br />
focused on bees and ways<br />
to get them to land on<br />
nonpesticidesprayed<br />
plants, while second<br />
place duo Olivia Chapman<br />
and Elle Fraser from<br />
Geraldine High School<br />
looked at the best design<br />
for a batroosting nest<br />
box.<br />
Daniel Poulter’s project<br />
had also won him an<br />
overall Gold award, as<br />
well as the Andrew Falloon<br />
MP Technology Junior<br />
Award, one of two<br />
Barkers awards for the<br />
Best Use of Food Material<br />
and asilver award in<br />
the Irricon Resource<br />
Solutions Junior Best<br />
Creativity and Resourcefulness<br />
category.<br />
The Geraldine High<br />
School duo Olivia Chapman<br />
and Elle Fraser’s bat<br />
box project had also<br />
scored them an overall<br />
gold award, as well as the<br />
Senior Andrew Falloon<br />
MP Technology Award.<br />
Mr Vogel said there<br />
had been more entries<br />
this year than the last,<br />
however, this was likely<br />
because many schools<br />
entered on a twoyearly<br />
basis.<br />

Topline sports campus<br />
proposed for Lake Hood<br />
A$50m sports campus is<br />
proposed for Lake Hood,<br />
southeast of <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
It was announced to a<br />
business and civic audience<br />
at Lake Hood.<br />
The Southern Parallel<br />
Sports Campus is proposed<br />
by APT Sports<br />
Academy Ltd, supported<br />
by Aonghus NZ Ltd,<br />
Westbury Investment<br />
Group USA, investment<br />
partners, the Allied<br />
Forces Foundation, and<br />
through alliances with<br />
New Zealand and North<br />
American universities.<br />
The mission is to<br />
‘‘change the game’’ by<br />
offering aholistic campus<br />
for people wishing to<br />
develop their true potential<br />
in sport and life,<br />
sports resilience and<br />
endurance training, afull<br />
medical, mental health<br />
and nutrition clinics and<br />
academic programmes.<br />
Catherine Stuart, managing<br />
partner of Aonghus,<br />
said Lake Hood was<br />
the key factor in bringing<br />
the concept to the region.<br />
Those to benefit<br />
include high performance<br />
athletes, disabled athletes,<br />
‘‘wounded warriors’’,<br />
returned servicemen<br />
and women, and<br />
youth sports.<br />
APT Sports Academy<br />
would deliver targeted<br />
training and education<br />
programmes catering<br />
specifically to their<br />
‘‘physical, mental, selfesteem<br />
and education<br />
needs, and offering each<br />
a more focused path in<br />
life’’.<br />
The campus would also<br />
involve the Allied Forces<br />
Foundation, a joint<br />
BritishAmerican foundation<br />
which supported<br />
wounded soldiers and<br />
their families in conflicts<br />
following 9/11.<br />
The proposed campus<br />
would include an indoor<br />
3G pitch apitch on a<br />
firm base with longpile<br />
artificial grass filled with<br />
sand and rubber crumb <br />
an outdoor G3 pitch, a<br />
running track, tennis, netball<br />
and basketball<br />
courts, a highperformance<br />
gym, swim<br />
resistance training, swim<br />
therapy, medical and<br />
therapy suites, anutrition<br />
centre, offices and boat<br />
shed.<br />
There would also be 20<br />
residentialstyle accommodation<br />
units and a<br />
lodge.<br />
The lodge would be<br />
created by lifting the roof<br />
of the existing Lake<br />
House (a popup restaurant<br />
will be created in<br />
the interim) and adding<br />
wings.<br />
When the work was<br />
finished, the restaurant<br />
would operate as normal.<br />
An agreement has<br />
been signed to buy the<br />
extra land needed for the<br />
complex, and New Zealand<br />
and international<br />
investors were sought.<br />
It was hoped the<br />
majority would be from<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The campus planned to<br />
hold two international<br />
meetings a year and<br />
would seek the Invictus<br />
Games, an international<br />
adaptive multisport<br />
event, created by Prince<br />
Harry, Duke of Sussex, in<br />
which wounded, injured<br />
or sick armed services<br />
personnel and their<br />
Care urged in<br />
lighting fires<br />
Fire officials are urging<br />
caution with too many fires<br />
escaping.<br />
Don Geddes, deputy<br />
principal rural fire officer<br />
for Mid and South Canterbury,<br />
said firefighters had<br />
dealt with five escaped fires<br />
in the past week and more<br />
care was needed.<br />
‘‘Most if not all were<br />
avoidable,’’ he said.<br />
The fires posed adanger<br />
and inconvenienced volunteer<br />
firefighters.<br />
Mr Geddes said it was<br />
still open season and<br />
people assumed it was safe<br />
because of the time of year,<br />
but not enough care was<br />
being taken.<br />
He said it was vital to<br />
check the weather forecast <br />
including the longterm forecast.<br />
It was also important to<br />
supervise fires, make sure<br />
wind would not take flames<br />
towards ahedge or trees, and<br />
have ameans of suppression<br />
on hand.<br />
It was also important to<br />
make sure fires were out.<br />
Embers should be raked<br />
and doused.<br />
Embers left smouldering<br />
could easily reignite many<br />
days after afire if awind got<br />
up.<br />
Mr Geddes said people<br />
were underestimating the<br />
fire risk at this time of year.<br />
associated veterans take<br />
part in nine sports.<br />
There would also be<br />
tournaments for ablebodied<br />
athletes.<br />
The lodge would have<br />
20 accommodation<br />
suites, akitchen and restaurant,<br />
a bar lounge,<br />
guest lounge, a soundproofed<br />
event centre and<br />
offices.<br />
The sports complex<br />
would be built on vacant<br />
land away from the lodge.<br />
It was hoped to finalise<br />
investment by December<br />
this year and complete<br />
plans and consenting by<br />
January 2020 and construction<br />
to start in<br />
March 2020.<br />
It was proposed to<br />
open the complex in the<br />
first quarter of 2021.<br />
Geraint Howells, who<br />
has moved to <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
from Leeston, said he set<br />
up APT Sports Academy<br />
Ltd with ex Super Rugby<br />
player Ged Robinson,<br />
who looked for guidance<br />
after top rugby.<br />
They came up with an<br />
holistic approach to<br />
training.<br />
The academy would<br />
include online tuition.<br />
Apercentage of profits<br />
would go to help disabled<br />
children.<br />
The campus will have<br />
up to 200 attendees and<br />
up to 70 staff.<br />
The rowing lake would<br />
be a key part of the<br />
campus.<br />
Mr Howells trained in<br />
the UK as a landscape<br />
architect and designer.<br />
Catherine Stuart said<br />
the campus was a great<br />
opportunity for the district<br />
and she wanted the<br />
community to be<br />
involved.<br />
There were very few<br />
campuses like the one<br />
proposed in the world.<br />
Promoters looked<br />
closely at Christchurch<br />
for the campus but<br />
wanted a ‘‘destination’’<br />
and <strong>Ashburton</strong> was a<br />
great region, and Lake<br />
Hood was the icing on the<br />
cake.<br />

perform from 7pm until the<br />

around $500 had been raised<br />
through raffles and other<br />

the fair at 11am.<br />
She said there would be 18<br />
class artworks auctioned off at<br />
the end of the event at 2pm and,<br />
in between, there were plenty of<br />

occupied.<br />
Allenton School’s Room 15 class of new entrants have<br />
collaborated to create this colourful artwork for the auction on<br />

Scenic Salmon Run back<br />
Rakaia Lions and local sports club<br />
volunteers are gearing up for the<br />
fifth annual Jackson Holmes<br />
Salmon Run on October <strong>19</strong>.<br />
Every year something new is<br />
added to the event and this year<br />
there’s anew section of mountain<br />
bike track and the inclusion of a<br />
business challenge.<br />
An extra 4.5km has been added<br />
to the existing 22km mountain bike<br />
course and while the regular track<br />
is fast and flat and provides athletes<br />
with the opportunity to get the<br />
heart rate up, the new portion is<br />
more technical and requires afew<br />
more skills.<br />
The new bike section goes under<br />
the railway and vehicle bridges, out<br />
to the river’s edge and along<br />
fisherman tracks to the Acton<br />
Race. From there it heads through<br />
apine plantation and will feature<br />
obstacles and tree roots in areas<br />
that have never been raced before.<br />
Salmon Run organising<br />
committee member Mandy Hurst<br />
said the extra bike track section<br />
would add more interest to<br />
competitors and the second<br />
addition, the Farmlands Cup<br />
Challenge which emerged after a<br />
few ripples amidst sponsors,<br />
opened up the opportunity for<br />
businesses to get involved.<br />
All businesses were invited to<br />
participate in the challenge, she<br />
said.<br />
As well as the cup, the winner<br />
would have ‘‘the bragging rights’’<br />
for the business who received the<br />
most points over all seven events<br />
for encouraging participation,<br />
health and fitness.<br />
‘‘This is achance to inspire your<br />
work mates, members and<br />
supporters to enter because,<br />
regardless of where they finish,<br />
every entry counts as well as<br />
placings.’’<br />
Everyone taking part in the<br />
Salmon Run was able to win<br />
medals and cash prizes and would<br />
be in the draw to win some amazing<br />
spot prizes given by generous<br />
sponsors and event supporters, said<br />
Mrs Hurst.<br />
As well as mountain biking, the<br />
event features multisport events,<br />
two duathlons, walking and<br />
running options.<br />
Events are aimed at both the<br />
competitive and noncompetitive<br />
athletes, individuals or teams.<br />
All events start and finish in the<br />
Rakaia Domain and most races<br />
follow, cross or use the Rakaia<br />
River.<br />

Students at Mount Hutt<br />
College have been exploring<br />
ways to work differently<br />
with mathematics<br />
and tomake learning the<br />
subject more relevant for<br />
the 21st century.<br />
Ideas, experiments and<br />
enthusiasm developed<br />
over the last few months<br />
will be showcased at a<br />
Mathematics Extravaganza<br />
in thecollegehallon<br />
<strong>September</strong> 24.<br />
Year 7 students have<br />
been using theconcepts of<br />
scale, budgeting, pricing<br />
and marketing to bake up<br />
cupcakes. Others have<br />
been learning about ratios<br />
and proportions through<br />
designing and creating<br />
wooden dice.<br />
Year 8 students have<br />
been busy coming upwith<br />
ideas on the next big thing<br />
forMethven and have also<br />
been involved with design,<br />
budgeting and marketing.<br />

And a Year 10 group<br />
has designed and created<br />
string art using an online<br />

Mount Hutt College<br />
head of mathematics and<br />
statistics JackieBrown said<br />
it hadbeenanexcitingand<br />
experimental few months<br />
for maths at the school.<br />
She said the announcement<br />
of her Boma Education<br />
Fellowship at the end<br />
of last year had given her<br />
the drive and confidence<br />
to introduce ‘‘innovative<br />
teaching and learning<br />
ideas’’ into the school that<br />
aimed to make apositive<br />
difference.<br />
Mrs Brown said the<br />
fellowship had put her<br />
among an elite group of<br />
Canterbury educators who<br />
were able to thrash out<br />
ideas and celebrate<br />
initiatives that could be<br />
introduced into schools.<br />
‘‘A trip to America earlier<br />
in the year with the<br />
Boma Fellows provided<br />
me with an insight into<br />
what other schools are<br />
doing,the boundaries they<br />
are pushing in education<br />
and the challenges they<br />
have come upagainst.’’<br />
She said her chosen<br />
project was based around<br />
improving the perceptions<br />
that our community has<br />
towards mathematics.<br />
‘‘To do that we need to<br />
challenge what learning in<br />
mathematics looks like.<br />
This is where the project<br />
based learning has come<br />
in.<br />
‘‘We have been trialling<br />
using projectstointroduce<br />
key mathematical ideas to<br />
students, to engage and<br />
motivate them in their<br />
learning and to work on<br />
developing their key competencies.’’<br />
The ability to think<br />
deeply, to manage ourselves,<br />
to relate to others,<br />
to participate and contribute<br />
positivelyand to communicateusing<br />
avarietyof<br />
texts wasfundamental, she<br />
said.<br />
Parents and the community<br />
have the opportunity<br />
tochallenge their perceptions<br />
by coming to see<br />
students’ work at the<br />
Mathematics Extravaganza.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> based CanInspire Charitable Trust continues<br />
to go from strength to strength and has now<br />
landed television presenter Haydn Jones as its first<br />
ambassador.<br />
Afamiliar face on programmes such as Fair Go,<br />
and the longrunning Good Sorts slot on Sunday’s TV<br />
One News, Jones was in town on Saturday to get an<br />
update on the work and expansion of the trust over<br />
the last few years.<br />
CanInspire originated from the experiences of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> resident Sarah Clifford, who underwent<br />
28 days of radiation for melanoma in 2010 and during<br />
that time created and wore adifferent necklace each<br />
day in hospital to distract her from the treatment.<br />
She later established beading workshops through<br />
CanBead to help others in similar situations and to<br />
help give them a sense of achievement and<br />
distraction.<br />
The CanInspire Charitable Trust was set up later<br />
and then CanTackle, which offers fishing distraction<br />
workshops, followed.<br />
The workshops are free and offered to people<br />
experiencing illness, trauma and loss.<br />
Haydn Jones said he had first come across Sarah<br />
Clifford’s inspirational story eight years ago when she<br />
had featured on Good Sorts.<br />
He had been able to stay in her life over the years<br />
and ‘‘just couldn’t say no’’ when asked to be an<br />
ambassador for CanInspire.<br />
Good Sorts had told the story of around 500 people<br />
over its 10 years and he would continue telling the<br />
story of Sarah Clifford and the great work of<br />
CanInspire.<br />

Responses put to test<br />
Emergencyplanning and<br />
multipleagency<br />
response procedures<br />
were put to the test last<br />
week during an emergency<br />
planning exercise<br />
at <strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital.<br />
The ‘‘table top’’ exercise,<br />
Urapare, theorised<br />
amock explosion in the<br />
stores area at <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Hospital, which caused a<br />
fire and large quantities<br />
of smoke, which was<br />
later discovered to be<br />
hazardous.<br />
The participants in the<br />
exercise acted as if the<br />
event had really happened,<br />
but did not<br />
deploy reallife<br />
resources and equipment.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital<br />
general manager Berni<br />
Marra was incident controller,<br />
and Fire and<br />
Emergency New Zealand<br />
the lead agency on<br />
the exercise.<br />
In the scenario, FENZ<br />
and the police were<br />
called, the fire was<br />
brought under control<br />
and a cordon put in<br />
place to protect staffand<br />
public from further hazards.<br />
A number of people<br />
were evacuated from the<br />
scene with injuries ranging<br />
from smoke inhalation<br />
and the irritant<br />
effects of smoke, to serious<br />
burns.<br />
‘‘The test scenario<br />
went very well, but the<br />
whole point of testing<br />
our processes and<br />
response is to tease out<br />
deficiencies in the system<br />
and if we think we<br />
got everything right and<br />
have nothing to learn,<br />
then we may have missed<br />
the point somewhere,’’<br />
Ms Mara said.<br />
The scenario posed<br />
some unique challenges<br />
and tested the basic principles<br />
in all emergency<br />
scenarios, including how<br />
and where the emergency<br />
operations centre<br />
would be set up, how the<br />
coordinated incident<br />
management structure<br />
(CIMS) would operate<br />
in practice, and how<br />
effective communications<br />
would be used to<br />
provide information,<br />
minimise harm orloss of<br />
life, damage to property<br />
or the environment, and<br />
the future ability to provide<br />
services.<br />
‘‘A critical area and<br />
something that can<br />
always bedone better is<br />
the sharing of information<br />
and our management<br />
of communications<br />
to staff and the public <br />
we recognise for<br />
example that there are<br />
periods during an event<br />
when there are more<br />
things we don’t know<br />
than things we do, and<br />
that we can’t share fast<br />
enough but we can certainly<br />
share too quickly.<br />
Our challenge is to<br />
resolve those unknowns<br />
as quickly as we can,<br />
without risking saying<br />
something that later<br />
turns out to be inaccurate.’’<br />
Ms Marra said the<br />
greatest value from the<br />
exercise was recognising<br />
and appreciating the<br />
part all agencies had to<br />
play in a multiagency<br />
Race bylaws get the tick<br />
response and that<br />
worked when they were<br />
needed.<br />
‘‘The public should be<br />
reassured that, although<br />
all the agencies involved<br />
have experienced many<br />
reallife scenarios, that<br />
we take nothing for<br />
granted and that we<br />
continue to test our systems<br />
and to learn from<br />
the experience,’’ she<br />
said.<br />

Funding through<br />
for domain<br />
gym equipment<br />
Funding, finally, has<br />
been sorted out for adult<br />
exercise equipment in<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Domain.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council’s<br />
Finance and Business<br />
Support Committee has<br />
approved $100,000 from<br />
the council’s Purchase<br />
and Improvement<br />
account for the gear.<br />
The allocation was<br />
agreed along time ago<br />
but was inadvertently<br />
missed out of the final<br />
Long Term Plan.<br />
The committee has<br />
now approved the<br />
money.<br />
It did so as it also<br />
approved a range of<br />
carryover funds, including<br />
$673,642 for water<br />
capital works, $144,348<br />
for asset renewals<br />
(drinking water), and<br />
$375,232 for atreatment<br />
upgrade on the Methven/Springfield<br />
scheme.<br />
There were also carryovers<br />
in wastewater, stormwater,<br />
Three Waters,<br />
transportation, democracy,<br />
commercial property,<br />
cemeteries, parks<br />
and open spaces, and hall<br />
boards.<br />
Cr Neil Brown said he<br />
mentioned it every year,<br />
but funds had to be spent.<br />
He knew there were<br />
reasons some of the work<br />
had not been done, but<br />
‘‘get into it and get it<br />
spent; we rate for it and<br />
people expect it to be<br />
spent’’.<br />
Mayor Donna Favel<br />
said the council was consulting<br />
in February onits<br />
draft plan for the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Domain and wondered<br />
if there would be<br />
any conflict with that and<br />
the funds for the exercise<br />
equipment.<br />
Finance manager Paul<br />
Brake said the money<br />
would not be spent until<br />
after consultation.<br />
Roads named<br />
Two roads in the Village<br />
Green subdivision south<br />
of Lake Hood will be<br />
known as Village Green<br />
Drive and Springdale<br />
Avenue.<br />
The subdivision is off<br />
Huntington Avenue, just<br />
to the east of Lake Hood<br />
Aquatic Park zone.<br />
A draft policy of water<br />
races has been approved<br />
by the <strong>Ashburton</strong> council’s<br />
bylaw committee for<br />
sign off by council on<br />
<strong>September</strong> 26, the final<br />
meeting for this term of<br />
council.<br />
Council started the<br />
bylaw work several years<br />
ago and has heard submissions<br />
on it.<br />
The work has involved<br />
reviewing the 2012 bylaw<br />
and an existing policy on<br />
the closure of races.<br />
The aim is to bring the<br />
operational aspects of<br />
the policy into standard<br />
form to explain how the<br />
council manages applications<br />
to close races.<br />
There are several<br />
thousands kilometres of<br />
races in the district.<br />
Many have been<br />
closed. Some farmers<br />
want the races; many do<br />
not.<br />
Land owners pay a<br />
race rate even if they do<br />
not use or need the<br />
water.<br />
Council is also working<br />
with irrigation companies<br />
on supplying<br />
water for stock.<br />
In all, council passed 20<br />
recommendations.<br />
In some instances<br />
where applications have<br />
been made to close races,<br />
some have wanted them<br />
closed and some have<br />
not.<br />
Akey recommendation<br />
is that the bylaw subcommittee<br />
refer all submissions<br />
concerning the<br />
funding of the water race<br />
network to areview of the<br />
council’s Revenue and<br />
Financing Policy.<br />
The network is funded<br />
through a targeted rate,<br />
and it ran at adeficit in<br />
2017/18 and 2018/<strong>19</strong>.<br />
That deficit ‘‘may<br />
affect what the council<br />
considers an affordable<br />
level of service in the<br />
short to medium term’’.<br />
A report to the committee<br />
that several submitters<br />
addressed the<br />
question of how to fund<br />
stock races in future<br />
One of the last submitters<br />
on the draft policy,<br />
Alastair Morrison,<br />
said he did not agree that<br />
the land owner oroccupier<br />
should be responsible<br />
to pay the water<br />
rates when they had been<br />
encouraged to fence races<br />
to keep cattle out of<br />
them, ‘‘also theymaintain<br />
the races and in most<br />
cases they have had to<br />
find another source of<br />
water for their stock,<br />
install anew reticulation<br />
system and, in my case,<br />
shift water races because<br />
others still wanted them<br />
only to find out a year<br />
later that they have<br />
changed their minds and<br />
shut the water race off<br />
completely, leaving me<br />
thousands of dollars out<br />
of pocket’’.<br />
‘‘I thinkthe people that<br />
still want the open race<br />
system should pay extra<br />
for the service, this would<br />
encourage them to look<br />
for other ways to provide<br />
stock water. Asitstands<br />
at the moment, the owner<br />
of asmall lifestyle block<br />
has as muchsay as alarge<br />
land owner whenitcomes<br />
to closing arace.’’<br />
He said he did not<br />
agree with the idea of<br />
leaving races open<br />
because of their ecological<br />
values as they were<br />
not natural water ways<br />
and the quality of water<br />
was questionable.<br />
Mr Morrison said leaving<br />
races open for flood<br />
control did not make any<br />
sense as in heavy rain<br />
debris was washed into<br />
races and blocked<br />
culverts, adding to flooding<br />
problems.<br />
Mr Morrison said there<br />
shouldbeprovision in the<br />
plans for a group of<br />
people who needed stock<br />
water to get together to<br />
have their own community<br />
groundwatersourced<br />
scheme rather than having<br />
stock races going<br />
across the district.<br />

Surprise life honour for<br />
Winchmore stalwart<br />
The long and outstanding<br />
service given by<br />
Winchmore woman Margaret<br />
Kelk has earned<br />
her a life membership<br />
with the Winchmore<br />
Branch of Rural Women<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Margaret has been<br />
with the Winchmore<br />
branch for the past 30<br />
years, joining the (then)<br />
Winchmore Women’s<br />
Division Federated Farmers<br />
(WDFF), after<br />
relocating to Mid Canterbury.<br />
She has not only been<br />
president (<strong>19</strong>9496) but<br />
has served a collective<br />
period of 20 years plus as<br />
treasurer; from <strong>19</strong>8999<br />
under the name of<br />
WDFF and then with the<br />
name change to Royal<br />
Women New Zealand<br />
(RWNZ) from<br />
<strong>19</strong>9920<strong>19</strong>.<br />
She was awarded the<br />
the surprise honour after<br />
presenting her 20th<br />
annual report to the<br />
branch members last<br />
month.<br />
President Elsa Hydes<br />
made the presentation<br />
acknowledging the ‘‘contribution<br />
of a tremendous<br />
amount to WDFF<br />
and Rural Women over<br />
the years’’, and fellow<br />
member Ngaire Brown<br />
presented her with abouquet<br />
of flowers.<br />
During Margaret’s<br />
presidency the branch<br />
ran school holiday<br />
productions of Cinderella<br />
and Peter Pan, which<br />
allowed children of the<br />
district and neighbouring<br />
areas to take part.<br />
‘‘These were very successful<br />
and rewarding<br />
programmes being well<br />
supported and certainly<br />
profiled and entertained<br />
our district.’’<br />
And for the past two<br />
decades, Margaret has<br />
ensured that the finances<br />
of the branch have been<br />
kept in order and<br />
adjusting to new criteria<br />
and forms from national<br />
office, and allowing some<br />
generous donations to<br />
organisations such as the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Trust Event<br />
Centre and the EA Networks<br />
Centre, as well as<br />
the Winchmore Community<br />
Hall Society Inc<br />
for upgrades they have<br />
undertaken over the<br />
years. The curtains hanging<br />
at the hall were made<br />
by Margaret.<br />
Margaret was amember<br />
of the committee<br />
which, in December<br />
2006, supported afundraising<br />
project for Breast<br />
Cancer Research. A2008<br />

concept in the popular<br />
Calendar Girls Movie)<br />
was initiated with the<br />
calendars being sold for<br />
$15. Margaret was Miss<br />
November.<br />
The proceeds saw<br />
$26,210.36 presented to<br />
Breast Cancer Research,<br />
which was overseen by<br />
Margaret.<br />
‘‘Margaret is adab hand<br />
at providing alarge number<br />
of graces for many<br />
functions, ideas and success<br />
with the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
A&P Show trays, supporting<br />
many an event with the<br />
branch and providing a<br />
district Father Christmas.’’<br />

Bell makes connections<br />
overseas for <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
By Mick Jensen<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> councillor<br />
Thelma Bell packed alot<br />
into arecent trip toher<br />
homeland ofthe Philippines<br />
and made connections<br />
that she hopes may<br />
help boost future trade<br />
andfill alabourshortage<br />
in Mid Canterbury.<br />
The selffunded trip<br />
took her to two dairy<br />
training schools, two agri<br />
tourism farms, meetings<br />
with the Department of<br />
Agriculture and Chamber<br />
of Commerce in<br />
Davao City, and talks<br />
with staff at the Technical<br />
Education and<br />
Skills Development<br />
Authority (TESDA),<br />
also in Davao City.<br />
She also made courtesy<br />
calls to the mayors<br />
of Tagum City and<br />
Pagadian City, visited a<br />
banana plantation<br />
owned byaFilipino family<br />
living in <strong>Ashburton</strong>,<br />
met amissionary couple<br />
running a street kids<br />
feeding programme supported<br />
by <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
New Life Church and<br />
made time to catch up<br />
with an executive director<br />
of the GMA Network,<br />
who visited <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
in late 2017 to<br />
make atelevision documentary<br />
about Filipinos<br />
living in New Zealand.<br />
Mrs Bell, the first<br />
Philippinesborn local<br />
government councillor<br />
in New Zealand, said the<br />
trip hadbeenbusy,interesting<br />
and informative.<br />
‘‘For meitwas about<br />
fact finding and making<br />
connections and sharing<br />
information about New<br />
Zealand.<br />
‘‘I’m hoping that some<br />
of my discussions may<br />
help facilitate a trade<br />
expo here in <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
oneday thatwill helpput<br />
both New Zealand and<br />
Filipino goods and<br />
services in the spotlight.’’<br />
The likes ofseed companies,<br />
Anzco and Talleys<br />
could all potentially<br />
benefit from it.<br />
Mrs Bell, who has<br />
lived in New Zealand<br />
since <strong>19</strong>87 and in this<br />
district since <strong>19</strong>89, said<br />
she had specifically spoken<br />
to people that were<br />
involved in trade, education<br />
and dairy training<br />
on her trip and those<br />
connections could be<br />
expanded.<br />
‘‘I explained that here<br />
in Mid Canterbury we<br />
have a very low unemployment<br />
rate and that<br />
skilled workers, whether<br />
they work in the dairy<br />
industry, or are mechanics<br />
or lorrydrivers, are<br />
always needed.’’<br />

Deputy Principal Message<br />
Engaged in Learning forLife<br />
As aschool community, we are all learners. This<br />
includes our students, teachers, support staff,<br />
whānau, local employers and wider community.<br />
Throughout our lives, wecontinue tolearn new<br />
skills and knowledge as well as having new<br />
experiences.<br />
An illustration of how much we learn comes<br />
through athoughtexperiment –imagine youare<br />
eightyears old again. Did youknowasmuch then as youdonow?<br />
The same concept can be applied to other age groups. For parents and<br />
caregivers, when you were sixteen did you know asmuch as you did at<br />
thirty?Hopefully this illustration has the effectofhelping students realise<br />
thatthe advicetheyreceivefromthe adults in their lifeislikely based on<br />
experienceand mistakes made,and is worthgivingserious consideration!<br />
Learning is acomplex business. Itrequires patience, perseverance and,<br />
invariably, frustration. Three specific components of the learning process<br />
that Iwill discuss here are the importance ofreflection, evaluation and<br />
feedback/feedforward. These are particularly relevant tomany ofour<br />
senior students, with in-College exams now behind them and written<br />
reports on the way, before the end-of-year examinations in November.<br />
Thesame conceptsdo, however, apply to all learning.<br />
Reflection and Evaluation<br />
When atask has been completed,itisimportanttotakethe time to step<br />
back and reflect. Consider what went well,areas forfurther improvement,<br />
did Igivethismybest effortand did Iachievemygoal? It maybeatime for<br />
celebration or it maybewhenyou consider achangeofdirection.<br />
Theimportantpartofreflection and evaluation is thatyou take the time to<br />
consider theoutcome of your actions,with aviewtolearning and moving<br />
forwardbetter than before.<br />
Feedback and Feedforward<br />
There are times in the learning process that you are unsure of‘where to’<br />
next. At these times, one of the most powerful learning strategies is to<br />
seek and apply feedback and feedforward.<br />
As the name suggests, feedback is commentary onprevious tasks. Inan<br />
exam context,thisiswhat youhavedone well and whatyou have missed.<br />
While this is useful information, feedback is only as useful as whatyou do<br />
with it.<br />
This is where feedforward comes in. Seeking and applying specific<br />
advice towork that you do in the future isthe key to making progress<br />
and continuing to move forward. My advicetostudentsistobeactivein<br />
seeking feedforward and be suretoapply it in the future.<br />
As aschool,weendeavour to use and model the same learning processes.<br />
One piece ofwork that we are collectively embarking upon is making<br />
our teaching and learning in the school more culturally responsive and<br />
more relational, asaway of improving achievement and well-being for<br />
all of our students.This is focused on teachers and students building and<br />
maintaining strong,learning focused relationships and providing learning<br />
opportunities thatare relevantand relatable to students’lives outside of<br />
the school.<br />
As part ofthis process, wehave recently undertaken an evaluation and<br />
reflection known asRongohia te Hau. This translates tothe metaphor<br />
‘listening to the winds of change’. It is an evaluative tool that gives us<br />
cause topause, reflect, and consider the next steps in our learning<br />
journey. This process includes classroom observations and collecting<br />
the voice ofstudents, teachers and whānau through surveys. Iwould<br />
like to thank everyone who took the time to fill in the survey, in order to<br />
share their perspective onwhere we are atinour journey of continuous<br />
improvement.<br />
Whenyou stop learning,you will stop growing.Becomingmaturenot only<br />
entails your age, but it should also speak highly of how much you have<br />
learned through the years. Seize every chance tolearn. There are alot of<br />
ways to learnand life is but ahuge classroom.<br />

in the morning and then aclose win over Nayland College (35-31) in the<br />

all tied up at 21-all at the end of the thirdquarter. Twocrucial turnovers saw<br />
the AshColl team come away with a29-26 win, to toptheirpool.<br />
Moving into cross-over games, first up was Central Southland. Again this<br />

GameOutcomes<br />
Monday’sgame was against Waitaki Boys’ High School, with Lisa saying<br />
that inthe first quarter College’s defence was lacking, with Waitaki Boys’<br />
scoring first. However, that got the team motivated and on track, gaining<br />
controlfor the majorityofthe game. Theteamwas abit unlucky by gifting<br />
Waitakiagoal but,overall,College had astrong attack whichwas reflectedin<br />
the final 4-3 scoreto<strong>Ashburton</strong>College. In quarters 2-4 College maintained<br />
their one goal lead.<br />
Zane Cameron was awarded the College team’s Player of the Match<br />
for ahard work rate, being in front ofhis opponent and creating several<br />
opportunitieswith the team scoring from one of these.<br />
On Tuesday the team had astrong first and second quarter, with the half<br />
time score3-1 to Roncalli College.<br />
However, the strength and size ofthe opposition was evident throughout<br />
the second half, albeit the College team held their own often and played<br />
well throughout the entiregame. The full-time scorewas 6-1 to Roncalli.<br />
Archie Glanville was our Player of the Match, playing well and making<br />
manysavesthroughout the game.<br />
Wednesday brought awin over St Kevin’s College. In the first quarter<br />
AshColl scored quickly, working as a team, and communicating well.<br />
Unfortunately that left one of the St Kevin’s players unmarked, from which<br />
they scored in the last 10 seconds of the quarter.<br />
During the second quarter College stepped uponattack, created more<br />
opportunities and applied pressure, scoring directly in front ofthe goal.<br />
St Kevin’s defence inthe second half was strong but College held them off<br />
forthe remainingthree quarters,for a2-1 win.<br />
Tim Connelly-Whyte was our Player ofthe Match, having shown great<br />
defence.<br />
Result – this meant the team finishedsecond-placed in Pool B, from the<br />
four teams.<br />
Semi-final play on Thursday<br />
This was played against Papanui High School, who were second-placed<br />
in Pool C.<br />
Lisa said the team startedoffslowly,but were first to score. This wasfollowed<br />
by many opportunities but Papanui’s goalie was outstanding and stopped<br />
manyofour shots. However,the scorestayedat1-0 to Collegeathalftime.<br />
Papanui then scored early in the 3rd quarter and again inthe 4th, but that<br />
wasdisalloweddue to it beingoffthe back of stick.<br />
This brought the game toa1-all draw at full time, and into the nervewracking<br />
penalty shot process which, excitingly and due to exceptional<br />
keeping from Archie Glanville, resulted in a3-1 victory to College.<br />
Player of the Match went to Lachie Jemmett for his determination<br />
throughout the game.<br />
Finals Play on Friday<br />
This wasagainst St Peter’sCollege, playing for5th or 6th placing.<br />
In this game St Peter’s scored twice, and quickly, inthe third and sixth<br />
minutesofthe firstquarter. Although forthe rest of thegame, College had<br />
the majority of possession and plenty of opportunities, they were just not<br />
able to score. Another twogoals by St Peter’sinthe finalquartergave them<br />
a4-0 win.<br />

Harry Soal, Dante Vannini, Henry Wallis, William Wallis, Ethan Walsh,<br />
Reece Watson, Todd White, Zac White; with Coach Tom Walkham and<br />
ManagerJason Vannini.<br />
Opening Day onMonday 02<strong>September</strong> held two games. The game<br />
against Nelson College wasdescribedbyJason as quiteopen, with Nelson<br />
having anumber of chances in the first two quarters, including six short<br />
corners which were denied by JacobGray in goal,with good supportfrom<br />
Cole Beeman. Thehalf-time scorewas 0-0.<br />
In the third quarter <strong>Ashburton</strong> got up the field abit more but could not<br />
manage to forceacorner and again had to defend anumber of shots at goal<br />
which they did successfully.The fourth quarterwas more of the same,with<br />
some greatdefence and acouple of breaks from <strong>Ashburton</strong>College but not<br />
quiteable to be finished off. Consequently the final scoreremained at 0-0.<br />
The game against Cashmere High School saw Cashmere come out with<br />
hardflat passes,findingspacetoslotagoal home in the first quarter.<br />
In the second quarter they scored another early on, but College defended<br />
resolutely for the rest of the half, with Jonty Small doing particularly well<br />
at holding them out. The third quarter was quite even with Cole Aitken<br />
nearly scoring off agreat pass from Jed Cameron. However, Cashmere<br />
scored another goal to make it 3-0 at the end of the thirdquarter. Thefourth<br />
quarterwas quiteevenagain, with the only real highlight being agreat save<br />
off apenaltystroke by JacobGray to keep the final scoreat3-0.<br />
Tuesday’sgame wasagainst Mt Roskill Grammar School, who were also<br />
without awin at thatstage.Aclosely-foughtfirst quarter, with neither side<br />
having manychances at goal,finished at 0-0.The second quarterwas similar,<br />
with both sides missing an opportunitytoscore,but Mt Roskill opened the<br />
scoring in the twenty ninth minutewith awell-taken fieldgoal to bring the<br />
scoreto0-1 at halftime.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College came out strongly in the third quarter with HarrySoal<br />
scoring from apenalty corner in the thirty fourth minute. Although a<br />
Mt Roskill player received ayellow card shortly afterward, AshColl was<br />
unable to capitalise on having an extraman.<br />
In the final quarterboth sides had chances,but neither wasable to convert,<br />
so the thirdquarter scoreremained, with thegame finishing as a1-all draw.<br />
On Wednesday the team played Otago Boys’High School. Acouple of<br />
positional changes were made, with Cole Beeman moving to Centre Back<br />
and Zac White up to half tostrengthen more forward play. Improved<br />
marking in the first partofthe quarterkept Otago Boys out,until adeflection<br />
into the goal midway through the quarter. The balance ofthe quarter saw<br />
playsee-sawbackwardsand forwarduntil Otago Boys’scoredwith the last<br />
playofthe quartertomake it 2-0.<br />
This score held throughout quarters two and three despite AshColl<br />
coming out strongly in the third quarter with some good runs forward by<br />
ReeceWatson and Todd White, and some nice touches by Connor Allan<br />
on the left wing. AshColl pushed forward inthe fourth quarter but was<br />
unable to find the back of the net. Some good defence byRyan Geeson<br />
helped keep Otago Boys scoreless and contributed to what was probably<br />
the strongest half of hockey to this point.<br />
Wednesday’s Game 2was against Waimea College, amust-win game if<br />
the team was tofinish inthe middle of the pool. However Waimea started<br />
strongly with agoal in the first quarter offadeflection inthe circle and<br />
finished the quarter 1-0 ahead. After an even second quarter, the third<br />
quarter AshColl attacked again and scored agood goal by Todd White in<br />
the thirty eighth minutetofinish the quarterat1-1.<br />
Both teams pressed forward for the winning goal in the last quarter with<br />
Waimea achieving this with five minutes to go, with 2-1 to Waimea being<br />
the final score.<br />

JacobGray to Centre Back.James Hargest startedstrongly and scored after<br />
twominutes,offapenaltycorner.However,College responded aftereleven<br />
minutes with awell-taken goal by Harry Soal to make the score 1-1. The<br />
second quarter saw Cole Aitken score agoal to have College leading 2-1<br />
at halftime.<br />
College was denied two goals in the third quarter due to the ball just not<br />
travelling outside the circle at aPenalty Corner, and starting play too early<br />
while an opposition playerwas being green carded!<br />
In the fourth quarterJames Hargest scored again and the game finished 2-2<br />
to bring up the team’s thirddrawofthe tournament.<br />

The second quarter was more even with both sides just missing two good<br />
chances each but no scores eventuated. The 3rd and 4th quarters were<br />

in administration, sales<br />

foundation to succeed. We<br />
have worked tirelessly to<br />
breathe new life into a<br />

In 2010, Istood for Council and have since served nine<br />
years,six as Councillorand three as Mayor.<br />
After operating the Cinema for 21 years and<br />

many similarities – always keep an eye on the<br />
bottom line, seek out opportunities, work<br />

I am a born and bred<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> family man,<br />
having attended school<br />
here, been married to Judy<br />
for 27 years and raised<br />
three children here. I’ve<br />
lived and worked on farms<br />
throughout the district all<br />
my working life and have<br />
business interests in our<br />
towns. Asboth arural and<br />
urban resident and ratepayer, Ihave the advantage of<br />
understanding the unique issues facing each community.<br />
Forthe past 15 years Ihaverepresentedresidents as both<br />
arural and town councillor, with seven years as Chair of<br />
the FinanceCommittee and three years as DeputyMayor.<br />
collaboratively, beagile. Customer is king, serve them<br />
well and listen to their needs.<br />
Ihave been asked, what isthe role of Mayor. For meit<br />
has been equalparts –Chairman of the Board, Advocate<br />
forthe Communityand Cheerleader forthis outstanding<br />
districtand the people.<br />
In the absence ofanEconomic Development team, for<br />
much of the term, Ihave assumed parts of that role. It<br />
has provided me agreater exposure tobusiness and<br />
particularly those looking to make <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
their new home –happytosharethe message, this is the<br />

Arecentsurveystatedthatthe <strong>Ashburton</strong>District, is the<br />
6th best placetodobusiness and 12th best placetolive<br />
inNZ. We areworking to improve those rankings –Opuke<br />
Hot Pools and The Southern Parallel Sports Campus<br />
are two examples of improving “better place tolive”<br />
while providing additional employment opportunities.<br />
In my time as acouncillor, committee chairman and<br />
DeputyMayor,Ihaveoverseen some very large projects,<br />
always ensuring a watchful eye on using ratepayers’<br />
money wisely. Council has some big projects ahead<br />
and we need asteady hand to ensure common sense<br />
prevails over our spending. We can afford toenhance<br />
our communityfacilities in afinancially prudentway and<br />
keep the rates affordable.<br />
Iamcampaigning on the basis of “Uniting Town and<br />
Country”. We are at heart a rural community, with<br />
prospering towns throughout <strong>Ashburton</strong> District that<br />
benefit from thebuoyancyofthe agricultural sector. It is<br />
important that our rural and urban residents appreciate<br />
the fact that weeach have apart toplay inmaking<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>Districttruly one of the best places to live.<br />
I want to help bridge the gap in understanding<br />
between urban and rural residents over the care ofthe<br />
environment and the state of the rivers. <strong>Ashburton</strong> can<br />

Intermediate and College refurbishments, new Library<br />

also add to that. My desire for the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council, istoberecognised as an enabler. If we can just<br />
get of their way, the peopleofthis district have the ability<br />
to achieve greatness.<br />
I have worked tirelessly and am proud of many<br />
achievements in my firsttermasMayor,but let me share<br />
just four (1) Ihave led Council to progress several long<br />
term projects (2) We have done so collaboratively and<br />
mainly with little contention (3) Consultation has been<br />
well prepared,and yetwehave still been open to change<br />
(4) <strong>Ashburton</strong> has made National Headlines for the right<br />
reasons.<br />

Much is said about central governmentrestrictions,but to<br />

My Policies: The Lake Hood Cycle Track. Let’s create a<br />
landscaped sealed track. Council should invest more<br />
around the lake, tocomplete all projects. The Lake gets<br />
230,000 visitors ayear.It is ajewel in our crown.<br />
The Town Centre Redevelopment and upgrade of our<br />

Iamkeen to see the proposed traffic lights in Tinwald<br />
brought toapositive conclusion. The process has been<br />
toolong.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> Business Park is asuccessful project. We<br />
need to work with NZ Rail to shiftthe “shunting yards” to<br />
the Park. Ifneeded, create and promote anInland Port<br />

As mayor, Iwould strive tostrengthen infrastructure<br />
and encourage economic growth, unite the district by<br />
bridging the rural/urban divide, and focus on community<br />
well-being. Iwould not come with agendas or affiliations,<br />

I also have a postgraduate business degree from<br />

locally and my brother still farms at Eiffelton —this is<br />

If elected, my priorities will be the core business of<br />
council -providing infrastructure services. Roading,<br />
footpaths and traffic management, andalso ensuring<br />
aqualityrobust watersupply forthe futureare vitally<br />
important. Of course we need to ensure the CBD<br />

It’s important the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District continues<br />
to grow and<br />
prosper. That requires<br />
a Council showing<br />
responsible leadership<br />
and someone around<br />
the Council table to ask<br />
thehardquestions.<br />
For over 40years Ihave run asuccessful accounting<br />
business employing people in our town, helping<br />
local businesses and community groups succeed. I<br />
have extensive governance and financial experience<br />
serving on the board ofIHC, one of New Zealand’s<br />
largest charities, and held national roles with the<br />
InstituteofCharteredAccountants.<br />
As your local Councillor,I’ll focus on: Keeping alid on<br />
rates; everydecision Council makes comes with acost<br />
straight from your pocket. Council has an obligation<br />
to spend your money wisely. Quality infrastructure;<br />
ensuring wise investmentinthe critical infrastructure<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>needs. Responsible governance; focussing<br />
on big issues rather than nonsensical discussions like<br />
shifting the water feature.<br />
I’ll work hard toensure projects like the civic centre<br />

than see another Council funded blow-out.Ihavethe<br />

As part of <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
community, with<br />
higher rates and more<br />
council debts, it is<br />
time to ask what extra<br />
services or value we<br />
have received to date.<br />
Issues on closing I-site,<br />
moving water feature,<br />
complaints about tidiness of the town, path and<br />
road maintenance, plan to move bowling green, and<br />
manydecisions thathavenot been properly thought<br />
through is very costly to community.<br />
There isaneed for tangible change in council where<br />
robust discussions and inputs from public should take<br />
place before debating, discussing and deciding.This<br />
process can happen in aharmonious and positive<br />
way.<br />
We need to build on what past generations have<br />
provided,for asafer and moresustainable future. Iam<br />

receivingthe value and servicesyou deserve.<br />
Sensible budgeting, minimising debt, creating<br />
opportunities, enliven the Central Business district,<br />

all on my agenda.<br />

Selwyn Richard<br />
Price<br />
I am a sitting councilor<br />
seeking re-election. My<br />
reputation is for hard-work<br />
in the community, and<br />
being well-prepared for<br />
meetings.<br />
As Deputy Chair of<br />
the Service Delivery<br />
committee, I believe my<br />
detailed knowledge in this area will be invaluable to<br />
council going forward.<br />
Iamknown as someone “who gets the bigger pictureand<br />
who’s not afraid to stand up and be counted –for all the<br />
right reasons.” For example, Ispoke out over the decision<br />
to not grant access to the St John’s ambulance service,<br />
which wassubsequently revoked.<br />
Istrongly advocate forcouncil to listentothe community.<br />
I meet the community face-to-face and communicate<br />
online, attending four hundred events annually, and<br />
posting daily on my Facebook page.<br />
Voterdecisions in this year’s election arecrucial.<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Ward has seen their rates goupyear-on-year at ahigher<br />
percentage than elsewhere. It is vital voters consider who<br />
will best representtheirviewsaround the council table.<br />
Ihave astrong social conscience and integrity, and vote<br />
according to clear principles and shared values.<br />
Having promoted the Four Wellbeings approach to<br />
decision making, Iamuniquely placed to help guide our<br />
communityinto this new phase of local government.<br />

Having served two<br />
terms onthe <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

myself forward for reelection.<br />
My thoughts are:<br />
1. Ihavelearned alot over<br />
the last two terms about<br />
the hospitality industry,<br />
its strengths,weaknesses,and threats.<br />
2. Iappreciate the role thatthe Trust plays within Mid<br />
Canterbury, and am committed to moving the Trust<br />
forward, in order thatitcan supportour community.<br />
3. The close ties that the Trust has with the Lion<br />
Foundation is critical to our Community Trust model<br />
moving forward. By having aLocal Grants Committee,<br />
we have avehicle to distributewithin our community<br />
$1.2 to $1.5 million per annum.<br />
4. Ihave astrong desire tosee the process of change<br />
be completed by the Trust’s incorporation into a<br />
Community Trust, and the associated solidifying of<br />
our investment policies and granting policies. That<br />
will create aCommunity Trust that has a100 year<br />
timeline,which can in turnmakesignificantgrantsto<br />

enough tomeet Canterbury’s future health needs.<br />
Other priorities include improving mental health<br />
facilities and developing anew cancer centre, offering<br />
awider range of treatmentoptions. Parking problems<br />
at Christchurch Hospital need to be resolved urgently.<br />
But just as importantare the health needs of our rural<br />

now very secure. Iamtotally committed to seeing<br />
it develop further as acentre ofexcellence inrural<br />

Pool ace passes on tips<br />
Pool table stalwart Bruce<br />
Argyle has spent the past<br />
few weeks teaching the<br />
skills of pool to students<br />
from Mount Hutt<br />
College who have chosen<br />
the sport as awinter<br />
option.<br />

know; Bruce has been<br />
playing billiards, then<br />
pool, since he was 15.<br />
He’s abit older and<br />
wiser now, and enjoys<br />
passing on skills and<br />
sharing alaugh with the<br />

three, nine enthusiastic<br />
students meet Bruce at<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Club and<br />

It’s apopular choice<br />
for them, with many<br />
returning in the third<br />
term each year to<br />
participate, including<br />

Survey paints a<br />
positive picture<br />
The 20<strong>19</strong> YMCA<br />
South &Mid<br />
Canterbury Youth<br />
Survey once again<br />
paints amostly<br />
positive picture and<br />
its results are largely<br />
consistent with<br />
previous surveys.<br />
Some 370 young<br />
people, aged 1224<br />
years, from the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>,<br />
Mackenzie, Timaru<br />
and Waimate districts<br />
completed the 20<strong>19</strong><br />
online survey, the<br />
fourth<br />
comprehensive<br />
survey of its kind by<br />
YMCA.<br />
YMCA marketing,<br />
communicationsand<br />
fundraising manager<br />
Michele Keggenhoff<br />
said one notable<br />
difference in the<br />
latest surveyresults<br />
was who young<br />
people say they would<br />
turn to for help and<br />
support during a<br />
difficult time.<br />
Though they still<br />
would predominantly<br />
turn to family/<br />
whanau,that<br />
percentagehas<br />
dropped to 66% from<br />
82% in 2017.<br />
Willingness to seek<br />
support from school<br />
(27%), online<br />
resources (17%) and<br />
telephone helplines<br />
(14%) have all<br />
increased over prior<br />
survey levels.<br />
Mental health,<br />
depression and stress<br />
(64%) was citedas<br />
the biggest health<br />
issue foryoung<br />
people, overtaking<br />
alcohol (56%) for the<br />
first time.<br />
Youngpeople also<br />
indicated deep<br />
concern over the<br />
environment,naming<br />
climate change, water<br />
quality and plastics as<br />
their top<br />
environmental issues,<br />
said Michele<br />
Keggenhoff.<br />
Social media usage<br />
also was highlighted<br />
in the survey results,<br />
with Instagram(68%)<br />
and Messenger (59%)<br />
surpassing Facebook<br />
(57%) as the most used<br />
social media among<br />
young people.<br />
Some 21% of those<br />
taking the survey<br />
reported they spend<br />
more than eight hours<br />
each day using social<br />
media or streaming<br />
content from the<br />
internet.<br />
Well over halfof<br />
survey respondents<br />
(58%) would consider<br />
a‘‘digital detox’’ in<br />
order to reduce stress<br />
and focus on real world<br />
social interaction.<br />
YMCA undertakes<br />
the biennial survey as a<br />
public service and<br />
advocacy project aimed<br />
at taking thepulse of<br />
the district’s youth on a<br />
range of topics.<br />
The 42question<br />
survey focused on<br />
attitudestowards the<br />
four districts,<br />
participation in various<br />
activities, education<br />
and career plans, and<br />
wellbeing.<br />
The survey is fully<br />
independent and<br />
receives no funding.<br />

accessible for people in<br />
Canterbury and further<br />
afield.<br />
Local GPs will give<br />
up their time torun the<br />
clinic and will offer<br />
15minute appointments<br />
to those booked<br />
in.<br />
Around 50 checks<br />
are expected to be<br />
offered at the clinic and<br />
all patients must be<br />
registered with an<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
GP.<br />
Bookings will go live<br />
on October 7and can<br />
be made on the skincan<br />
.org.nz website, following<br />
a short patient survey.<br />
SkinCan NZ was<br />
started by Christchurch<br />
real estate agent Leeann<br />
Marriott, whose brother’s<br />
deadly skin cancer<br />
was discovered late and<br />
took his lifejust26weeks<br />
after he was diagnosed.<br />
Visiting <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
recently to coordinate<br />
the free skin check clinic<br />
here with Mandy Casey<br />
from Mid Canterbury<br />
Cancer Society, Mrs<br />
Marriott said SkinCan<br />
NZ was now in its third<br />
year and was set upto<br />
promote skin cancer<br />
awareness and tomake<br />
skinchecks moreaccessible<br />
for more people.<br />
‘‘In our first year we<br />
had 165 skin checks and<br />
in our second year 265.<br />
‘‘Now in our third<br />
year, we are expanding<br />
from Christchurch and<br />
into <strong>Ashburton</strong> and<br />
Lower Hutt.’’<br />
Mrs Marriott says<br />
New Zealand has one of<br />
the highest rates of<br />
melanoma inthe world.<br />
The public health system<br />
did not fund skincancer<br />
screenings and<br />
not everyone could<br />
afford to see adermatologist,<br />
oreven aGP.<br />
The first point of call<br />
for anyone with concerns<br />
about moles or<br />
lesions was their GP,<br />
who would assess moles<br />
and then remove atrisk<br />
moles or refer patients<br />
on.<br />
Mrs Marriott said the<br />
clinic in <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
would offer checks only<br />
and no treatment.<br />
Patients would<br />
receive a copy of the<br />
notes from the assessment<br />
and acopy would<br />
be forwarded ontotheir<br />
GP.<br />

Nearly time to lodge vote<br />
It’s an unfortunate aspect<br />
of our democracy that<br />
local body elections are<br />
too often regarded as the<br />
“other elections.”<br />
The numbers are stark.<br />
While General Election<br />
turnout hovers around<br />
the 80 per cent mark, in<br />
local elections it’s amiserable<br />
42 per cent. Here<br />
in <strong>Ashburton</strong> the numbers<br />
are bit better at 53<br />
per cent, but that’s still<br />
nearly half of eligible<br />
voters not having their<br />
say.<br />
On one hand I can<br />
understand. A big criticism<br />
of local elections is<br />
that it’s often not easy to<br />
tell what people stand<br />
for. We don’t, for<br />
example, have political<br />
parties contesting local<br />
body elections in most<br />
parts of the country.<br />
I’ve never been afan of<br />
political parties contesting<br />
local elections.<br />
It’s why Iwon’t be supporting<br />
or endorsing any<br />
candidate for election<br />
locally. As your local MP<br />
I’ll work constructively<br />
with the elected Mayor<br />
Untangling our beliefs and idols<br />
Spring is under way. The<br />
air is warm and as Ilook<br />
out my window there are<br />
blossoms on the plum trees<br />
and bees busy working<br />
among them. All this made<br />
it very pleasant as Ipruned<br />
some gooseberries andcurrant<br />
bushes. I know, I<br />
know, they should have<br />
been pruned earlier. However,<br />
they were aneglected<br />
and tangled mess and better<br />
to attend to them late<br />
than not at all. Left alone<br />
they would have only got<br />
worse and crowded each<br />
other out with poor results<br />
come harvest.<br />
It reminded me of the<br />
time Jesus spoke of pruning.<br />
He often used farming<br />
or gardening illustrations.<br />
This is not surprising<br />
because he lived in an<br />
Rangitata MP Andrew Falloon<br />
and Council, whoever<br />
that might be. It won’t<br />
mean that we’ll agree on<br />
everything, but for a<br />
region like ours it’s<br />
important that the local<br />
MP and Council work<br />
together as closely as<br />
possible.<br />
One of the other difficulties<br />
in local elections<br />
is the different voting<br />
systems. While we use<br />
MMP at General Elections,<br />
local body elections<br />
are a mix of the<br />
traditional First Past the<br />
Christian comment<br />
agrarian economy. Mind<br />
you, we are highly dependent<br />
on farming here in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District too –<br />
even if it is not always<br />
obvious to us. The illustration<br />
still stands today. Jesus<br />
speaks of his people as<br />
being vines and God as the<br />
pruner.<br />
The reason God prunes<br />
his vines is so that they will<br />
produce much fruit. Pruning<br />
cuts away what is not<br />
wanted. It shapes the vine<br />
and helps produce abetter<br />
harvest. The Gardenerisat<br />
work in His garden to<br />
produce the results He<br />
wants.<br />
As I reflected on this,<br />
the thought occurred to me<br />
Post and Single Transferable<br />
Vote systems.<br />
In <strong>Ashburton</strong> the<br />
Council elections are<br />
pretty straightforward.<br />
For Mayor you have<br />
one vote for your preferred<br />
candidate.<br />
In the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Ward (which now<br />
includes Lake Hood)<br />
there are nine<br />
candidates and you can<br />
tick up to five.<br />
In the Eastern and<br />
Western Wards there<br />
are four candidates and<br />
three candidates respectively,<br />
and you can vote<br />
for up to two of them.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Licensing Trust runs<br />
under the same rules.<br />
There’s nine candidates,<br />
and you can tick up to six<br />
of them.<br />
Although some<br />
Regional Councils operate<br />
under different electoral<br />
systems, here in<br />
Canterbury we have the<br />
First Past the Post system,<br />
which is the same as<br />
“How often do we get this<br />
back to front?” God’s purpose<br />
is to shape us for His<br />
purposes. We, on the other<br />
hand, are prone to wanting<br />
to shape God to suit our<br />
desires or purposes. We<br />
hear comments such as “I<br />
like to think ofGod as …”<br />
or “But God would/<br />
wouldn’t do this or that”.<br />
This is always the inclination<br />
of the human heart<br />
–tomake agod suitable<br />
for our wants. Once we<br />
have such agod, suitably<br />
adjusted to our longingswe<br />
worship it. Our hearts are<br />
idol factories and surprisingly<br />
efficient in their work.<br />
Highly automated, they<br />
produce our idols with little<br />
for the District Council.<br />
There’s four candidates in<br />
the Mid Canterbury/Opakihi<br />
region (which includes<br />
Selwyn District) and you<br />
can vote for up to two.<br />
District Health Board<br />
elections are quite different,<br />
operating under the<br />
Single Transferable Vote<br />
method. You rank the<br />
person you most want on<br />
the DHB with number 1,<br />
the person you like second<br />
with number 2, and so on.<br />
You don’t have to rank<br />
all of the 23 candidates,<br />
but if you don’t, you are<br />
diminishing the value of<br />
your vote. If it comes down<br />
to a choice between two<br />
candidates for the final<br />
position, your preference<br />
is taken into account in<br />
working out who is elected<br />
between them. If you only<br />
rank the top 3 then you<br />
don’t get asay. The top 7<br />
candidates are elected.<br />
Voting papers will arrive<br />
in the next few days. Please<br />
take the opportunity to<br />
have your say.<br />

effort. Not for us, idols of<br />
wood or stone. We worship<br />
ourselves, our independence,<br />
our freedom to<br />
choose whatever we consent<br />
to. Then, with religious<br />
fervour, we are outraged<br />
should anyone make<br />
negative comments about<br />
our idols.<br />
My gooseberries were a<br />
tangled mess. Despitetheir<br />
prickly resistance to being<br />
pruned, they are now better<br />
for it. We too, are better<br />
being pruned by God. Consider<br />
this –are you willing<br />
to be shaped by God to<br />
fulfil His purposes, or are<br />
you trying to shape God to<br />
fulfil your purposes?<br />

The very desirable Mazda MX5<br />
By Ross Kiddie<br />
Ihad to look along way<br />
back in my diary to work<br />
out when Ilast drove a<br />
manual evaluation car. It<br />
was October last year and<br />
it wasn’t actually acar, it<br />
was aute.<br />
However, I was surprised<br />
and delighted to<br />
pick up the latest specification<br />
Mazda’s MX5<br />
twoseat convertible, it<br />
was a sixspeed manual<br />
and is the subject of this<br />
evaluation. It was also my<br />
favourite of the series,<br />
the RF Limited with its<br />
retractable hardtop.<br />
The MX5 needs no<br />
introduction. It has led<br />
the way in affordable<br />
performance models and<br />
brings asmile to the face<br />
of all who drive it.<br />
There are three<br />
models in the MX5<br />
range, the entrylevel<br />
roadster softtop which<br />
gets a1.5litre engine and<br />
starts at $41,895, and<br />
there are two 2litre<br />
models, one is asofttop<br />
at $49,<strong>19</strong>5, the other is<br />
the RF Limited, and at<br />
$53,745 it would most<br />
certainly be my choice if I<br />
was in the convertible<br />
market.<br />
It’s fair to say, I’m not<br />
a huge convertible fan,<br />
Christchurch’s weather<br />
isn’t perfect for open top<br />
driving, but the folding<br />
hardtop is awork of art,<br />
the car looks stunning,<br />
the convertible process is<br />
quick, the mechanism is<br />
brilliant, and when you<br />
are driving with the roof<br />
closed over you’d think<br />
for all money that it was<br />
permanently sealed.<br />
I’m not exaggerating<br />
when Irefer to the MX5<br />
as being genius. It is<br />
adorably desirable, and is<br />
probably the most<br />
amount of fun you can<br />
get for the money. What<br />
makes it so special is the<br />
engineering layout, it is<br />
rearwheeldrive, and<br />
with its low ride height<br />
and near perfect 50:50<br />
weight split there is a<br />
fully involving driving<br />
feel.<br />
The MX5 is aresult of<br />
continual development,<br />
and in 2litre form it has<br />
just had asafety specification<br />
upgrade, it also<br />
gets more power –upto<br />
135kW from 118kW and<br />
more torque at 205Nm,<br />
up from 200Nm. Perhaps<br />
what makes the engine<br />
even more exciting is that<br />
it is now calibrated to rev<br />
more freely, the point of<br />
maximum revolutions has<br />
been raised to 7000rpm<br />
from 6000rpm, and it will<br />
explore the entire rev<br />
band willingly.<br />
As aconsequence, the<br />
engine is constantly eager<br />
– in all gears – it is<br />
throttle sensitive and an<br />
absolute joy to be behind<br />
the wheel of.<br />
In terms of performance,<br />
the 2litre MX5<br />
will launch to 100km/h<br />
from a standstill in<br />
around 6sec, and will<br />
move through an overtaking<br />
opportunity in<br />
4.5sec (80120km/h).<br />
While these figures<br />
aren’t electrifying, they<br />
are the foundation of an<br />
exciting package, the way<br />
the mechanicals combine<br />
to provide the feelgood<br />
factor makes you think<br />
that speed is greater and,<br />
of course, sitting so low to<br />
the ground the feeling of<br />
speed is constant.<br />
It must be considered<br />
as well that in the manual<br />
gearbox model the feel<br />
through the shift mechanism<br />
is exciting in itself,<br />
the lever has short throws<br />
both up and down and<br />
through the gate, it feels<br />
delightful and is one of<br />
the reasons Ilike manual<br />
gearboxes so much,<br />
the feeling of involvement<br />
is constant. If the<br />
thought of using aclutch<br />
is scary, the pedal on the<br />
MX5 is delicate with<br />
perfect feel, the thought<br />
of stall need not be<br />
considered.<br />
The wee MX5 has<br />
extraordinary handling,<br />
it steers with absolute<br />
precision and is entertaining<br />
through the rear<br />
when power is applied<br />
forcibly. It has been<br />
designed so that oversteer<br />
is easily accessible,<br />
Smallbone in ACL deal<br />
Canterbury automotive<br />
group Smallbone Ltd has<br />
agreed to a conditional<br />
agreement with <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Contracting Ltd (ACL).<br />
Under the proposal,<br />
ACL will acquire the service<br />
and parts divisions of<br />
Smallbone Ltd’s Isuzu<br />
trucks business in both<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> and Timaru,<br />
with Smallbone remaining<br />
the franchise holder for<br />
Isuzu trucks inboth Mid<br />
and South Canterbury.<br />
ACL is whollyowned by<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council.<br />
It is anticipated that the<br />
newly combined business<br />
will initially operate from<br />
ACL’s and Smallbone’s<br />
existing <strong>Ashburton</strong> premises<br />
but will later move to 1<br />
Range St, where new and<br />
existing equipment from<br />
both businesses will be<br />
installed.<br />
It is proposed that all<br />
staff from both businesses<br />
will be combined at the<br />
new Range St facility.<br />
Smallbone’s Timaru parts<br />
and service operation will<br />
continue tooperate from<br />
its existing site.<br />
Once the new Range St<br />
facility is operational,<br />
Smallbone’s truck parts<br />
and servicing division will<br />
be exclusively provided by<br />
ACL in both <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
and Timaru. All Smallbone<br />
service and parts staff will<br />
be employed byACL and<br />
will retain their jobs.<br />
Smallbone’s retail sales<br />
of new and used Isuzu<br />
trucks will continue to<br />
operate from their existing<br />
premises in both <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
and Timaru, however<br />
future plans for consolidating<br />
these services within<br />
the vehicle dealerships is<br />
also being considered.<br />
Craig Carr, chairman of<br />
Smallbone, said the agreement<br />
with ACL was intended<br />
to ensure the company<br />
could continue to provide<br />
“best in class” service and<br />
parts to meet the needs of<br />
its customers now and in<br />
the future.<br />
“Customers benefit<br />
from the strengths and<br />
offerings that each business<br />
brings to the table and<br />
our staff can expand their<br />
development opportunities<br />
by being exposed to new<br />
perspectives and expertise,”<br />
hesays.<br />
“In addition, by collaborating<br />
with a likeminded<br />
partner, we are<br />
able tooffer services and<br />
solutions that help our<br />
customers and other businesses<br />
become more successful.”<br />
Gary Casey, CEO of<br />
ACL, says combining the<br />
two businesses will achieve<br />
better scale and service<br />
improvements.<br />
“We’ll be investing in<br />
the development and training<br />
of existing and new<br />
staff and we are looking<br />
forward to operating from<br />
anew and modern facility,<br />
which will provide abetter<br />
offering to our combined<br />
customers and staff. We<br />
are pleased and excited<br />
about the opportunity to<br />
be partnering with Smallbone,”<br />
he says.<br />
About Smallbone<br />

About ACL<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Contracting<br />
Limited (ACL) commenced<br />
operations in<br />
<strong>19</strong>95. The company now<br />
has aworkforce in excess<br />
of 130 staff and has proved<br />
resilient inadynamic and<br />
challenging market<br />
through performance and<br />
quality. ACL is based in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> and also has a<br />
branch inRolleston.<br />
however, the electronic<br />
traction control system<br />
intervenes, although it is<br />
not overly invasive, the<br />
fun factor is still available.<br />
Of course, TCS can<br />
be switched off, but even<br />
with it activated the MX<br />
5 is still the handling<br />
champion, it is entertaining<br />
and that is what has<br />
always aroused buyers.<br />
It wouldn’t be fair if I<br />
closed this evaluation<br />
without mentioning fuel<br />
use. While the MX5 is<br />
largely seen as a model<br />
which entices throttle<br />
use, it still has respectable<br />
fuel use statistics,<br />
with a combined cycle<br />
claim by Mazda of<br />
6.9litres per 100km<br />
(41mpg).<br />
My time in the test car<br />
returned figures of a<br />
respectable 8l/100km<br />
(35mpg), which was good<br />
considering I constantly<br />
applied heavy throttle<br />
pressure. At 100km/h the<br />
engine is turning over at a<br />
steady 2500rpm, providing<br />
an instantaneous<br />
figure of 5.1l/100km<br />
(55mpg).<br />
As much as Idelighted<br />
in the RF Limited and all<br />
it represents, I’m still<br />
fingers crossed that we<br />

Farmers, civic leaders, speak out<br />
By Toni Williams<br />
There were no shortage<br />
of questions orconcerns<br />
raised from the floor of<br />
the packed meeting in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> to consider<br />
the Government’s<br />
Essential Freshwater<br />
proposal.<br />
Among them acall for<br />
backing up of the science<br />
behind the decisions in<br />
the Essential Freshwater<br />
proposal, and many<br />
calling on the<br />
Government to increase<br />
the bottom line figure,<br />
considered unrealistic.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> mayor<br />
Donna Favel kicked off<br />
question time with<br />
council’s concern over<br />
the time available before<br />
submissions closed, given<br />
the running of local<br />
government elections.<br />
She said the short<br />
turnaround period would<br />
limit the council’s chance<br />
to advocate for the<br />
district.<br />
Ministry for the<br />
Environment’s (MFE)<br />
Amanda Moran said it<br />
was acommon issue<br />
raised but the<br />
Government were ‘‘keen<br />
to move forward with<br />
this, before and after the<br />
(local body) elections.’’<br />
‘‘It is asubmission on a<br />
discussion process,’’ she<br />
said.<br />
Waimate District<br />
Council’s Tom O’Connor<br />
said farmers were already<br />
dealing with other<br />
technical regulations<br />
such as Environment<br />
Canterbury’s Plan<br />
Change 7and wanted to<br />
know how all the<br />
regulations would mesh<br />
together.<br />
He was assured they<br />
would, with proposals<br />
sent for analysis for the<br />
Minister to consider over<br />
summer and come into<br />
effect mid next year.<br />
Donna Favel Neil Brown Ian Mackenzie Rebecca Whillans<br />
Mel Brooks<br />
‘‘From here regional<br />
councils will need to<br />
decide where they are at<br />
with their own plans,<br />
where there are gaps to<br />
comply with the national<br />
process.<br />
‘‘Then they will have<br />
five years to comply and<br />
fill those gaps.’’<br />
Arable farmer Ian<br />
Mackenzie, of Eiffelton,<br />
❛What you’re actually proposing, it’s not innovation or<br />
tweaking of agriculture, it’s actually closing down any type<br />
of industry in this district.❜<br />
in Mid Canterbury, said<br />
some of the information<br />
was misleading because if<br />
the proposal was taken as<br />
written, the level of one<br />
milligram of nitrogen<br />
would need to be taken<br />
into effect immediately.<br />
‘‘Our issue with that is<br />
one milligram of<br />
dissolving inorganic<br />
nitrogen actually isn’t<br />
something we can aspire<br />
to because it puts us all<br />
out of business. We can<br />
aspire to 6.9, and<br />
certainly for the Hinds<br />
plains it’s adifficult<br />
target, but we know we<br />
can’t ever get to one.’’<br />
‘‘What you’re actually<br />
proposing, it’s not<br />
innovation or tweaking of<br />
agriculture, it’s actually<br />
closing down any type of<br />
industry in this district.’’<br />
Mr Mackenzie wanted<br />
to know how robust the<br />
discussion was on the<br />
science.<br />
Ministry for the<br />
—Ian Mackenzie<br />
Environment’s Martin<br />
Workman said among<br />
those in the group was a<br />
NIWA scientist saying<br />
that one milligram per<br />
litre was ‘‘the bottom line<br />
that we should be moving<br />
towards’’.<br />
It was abottom line for<br />
councils and their<br />
communities to work<br />
towards, and how long<br />
that would take, it was<br />
not expected straight<br />
away, Mr Workman said.<br />
Freshwater leaders<br />
group member Hugh<br />
Logan said the one<br />
milligram target was the<br />
level needed for aquatic<br />
health.<br />
Farmer and mayoral<br />
candidate Neil Brown<br />
questioned the levels of<br />
the Mid Canterbury’s<br />
main rivers, and was<br />
informed the Rakaia,<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> and Rangitata<br />
rivers catchments were<br />
all under one milligram<br />
per litre level.<br />
Other countries such<br />
as Australia, America,<br />
United Kingdom, and<br />
Europe, including China,<br />
had astandard that was<br />
similar or where the<br />
figure was in the same<br />
ball park.<br />
Mr Logan said the<br />
details of reaching that<br />
target was up to<br />
government policy.<br />
Others at the meeting<br />
questioned the cost of<br />
fencing, planting and<br />
benefits of carbon credits<br />
but were shot down with<br />
comments that<br />
‘‘compensation talk was<br />
not helpful’’.<br />
However they were<br />
encouraged to include<br />
the ‘‘biodiversity benefits<br />
of planting and ecosystem<br />
services being<br />
done on farm’’ which<br />
were beneficial for wider<br />
New Zealand and needed<br />
to be considered.<br />
And others still raised<br />
the issue that the<br />
Resource Management<br />
Act (RMA) needed<br />
fixing before streamlining<br />
the system, and of the<br />
importance of economic<br />
analysis, especially for<br />
the downturn on small<br />
town like <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Ms Moran said the<br />
work going on right now<br />
was ‘‘too important to<br />
wait for RMA reform,<br />
which was why the talks<br />
were going on now’’.<br />
And economic analysis<br />
was part of the discussion<br />
however there was<br />
costings and benefits data<br />
on stock exclusion and<br />
sediment.<br />
There was more<br />
detailed work needed on<br />
nitrogen values for<br />
economic decisions.<br />
The environmental<br />
outcomes had been<br />
considered first, which<br />
would be followed by<br />
economic costs which<br />
would help with<br />
feasibility and timing<br />
considerations.<br />
The comment drew the<br />
ire of attendees saying<br />
the rural community was<br />
already under pressure<br />
on farm, with the<br />
potential for increased<br />
levels of suicide.<br />
But they were<br />
encouraged to ‘‘put those<br />
considerations into their<br />
submissions’’.<br />
Irrigation companies<br />
staff Mel Brooks (MHV),<br />
and Rebecca Whillans<br />
(ALIL) spoke, as did<br />
Irrigo Centre’s Eva<br />
Harris, who said constant<br />
rule changes were<br />
guaranteed to mean<br />
nothing was done, but<br />
consideration needed to<br />
be given to the social<br />
impacts ablanket<br />
approach would take.<br />
Angela Cushnie<br />
agreed that rural<br />
wellbeing and social<br />
sustainability needed to<br />
be considered to<br />
eliminate stress, anxiety<br />
and uncertainty<br />
especially in an area<br />
already impacted in that<br />
regard.<br />
Everyone agreed, the<br />
most important thing was<br />
not to lose sight of the<br />
people.<br />
Mrs Brooks<br />
questioned whether the<br />
Hinds River was even<br />
included in the process<br />
due to its legal definition<br />
and said the proposal was<br />
‘‘a little bit fluffy from an<br />
urban perspective’’ with<br />
untreated storm water<br />
and questioned what the<br />
national bottom line was<br />
on heavy metal<br />
treatments.<br />
She was assured those<br />
‘‘big issues‘‘ mostly<br />
caused by building<br />
materials and vehicles<br />
were being worked with<br />
by government, councils<br />
and New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency to find<br />
solutions.<br />
Mr Brown and fellow<br />
dairy farmer Willy<br />
Leferink also questioned<br />
the economic<br />
consequences for farmers<br />
and the district with many<br />
farming to afive year<br />
land use consent.<br />
It would be difficult to<br />
plan around strict rules<br />
especially with cautious<br />
financial lenders.<br />
‘‘You can only be<br />
environmentally friendly<br />
if in the black,’’ Mr<br />
Leferink said.<br />
Those leading the<br />
meeting said banks also<br />
had akey role to play on<br />
how they were going to<br />
support people through<br />
the changes.<br />
Federated Farmers<br />
environment spokesman,<br />
Chris Allen, of Five<br />
Forks, in Mid<br />
Canterbury, said it was a<br />
heartfelt issue that<br />
warranted some ‘‘solid<br />
submissions’’ and<br />
questioned how set in<br />
stone was the bottom<br />
line.<br />
Submissions on the<br />
proposal officially close<br />
on October 17, at 5pm,<br />
but due to overwhelming<br />
demand, late submissions<br />
will be accepted up until<br />
October 31.<br />
