Page 4, Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 3 October 2019 Dora and TheLost City of Gold Reviewed by Rowena Hart They must have searched the whole of South America to find the person to star as the 16 year old Dora. She was absolutely perfect in every way -bubbly,innocent, kind andsosocute. Itook two 10year old girls with me ...here are some of their observations ... Eve Thepeople in frontofuswereannoying. Igiveit9stars out of ten. Iloved the partwhentheyfound the temple. Veronica My favourite character was Boots because he is super cuteand alwayssaves theday. Therewereboth tragic and happybits throughout the movie. Everyone loves happy endings and this one was spectacular. There was one bit where they all turned into their former cartoon selves and thatwas really weird. Ialso really liked the popcornand theFanta. So Ithink itisthumbs up to the Dora movie! bookings ph 307 1230 www.regentcinema.co.nz Advertising thatworks!

The success of Advance Ashburton is well known. Indeed, it is a model for others to follow. The formula is simple. Money is given or bequeathed tothe trust, invested by people who know what they are doing, and the proceeds used for the betterment of the district and those in it. Courier comment The list of successes for Advance Ashburton is too long to mention here, but they are many and varied. The Geraldine District Foundation, inthe process of becoming aregistered charity, has started with awinning project buying (with the help of the Geraldine Licensing trust, and the club itself) the former Town and Country Club building on the edge of town. It is abig building with plenty of parking. The foundation will work with a project manager to turn the big building into adedicated communityowned medical centre; a onestop medical shop. If it wanted aproject with which to catch the public’s attention, it need not look further. Practitioners, the foundation says, have already indicated interest. Good. Provincial New Zealand has had trouble attractingand keeping medical personnel, and Geraldine has been no exception, though it is reasonably well served at the moment. But there is a public appetite for medical centres, where you can see a doctor or, say, aphysio, in the same building. The licensing trust National award for Rosa By Toni Williams Community stalwart Rosa Bennett, who is nearing 90, is the humble recipient of an honorary Age ConcernNew Zealand’s DignityChampionaward, and it took her by surprise. It was recognition for all the valuable workshe does ‘‘championing the rights of older peopleby helping combat loneliness and helpbuilding strong social connections’’. The award, presented by Age Concern Ashburton patron Jeanette Storrier at the weekly 50 Plus meeting Rosa organises, is a national award, givento one deservingperson nationwide amonth. She was nominatedby Age Concern Ashburton president Trish Small and secretary/manager Dianna Leonard. Rosa has been involved with the Ashburton branch since its inception and was amemberofa steeringcommittee set up in 1986toinvestigate forming an organisation to meetthe needs of older people in the Ashburton District. She represented community groups on the committee. Once established, first as the Mid Canterbury Aged Persons Welfare Council thenAge Concern Ashburton; two deserves credit, too, for its support of the project,and the former club, which offered favourable terms. Prominent locals (John Acland, Rosie Morten, James Wallace and Wayne O’Donnell) are the backbone of the foundation and will soon seek benefactors and funds for its first project. Given the generosity and cando attitude of Geraldine, support may be strong. John Keast Rosa Bennett was surprised by Age Concern Ashburton patron Jeanette Storrier with anational award for championing the rights of older people. popular programmes wereset up for older persons; the 206 Club, to lessen social isolation for the district’s senior populationand where Rosavolunteered as cook up to three days aweek until 2018; and the 50 Plus educational programme. It runs once aweek for six weeks in autumn and spring. Its success is due to ‘‘Rosa’s enthusiasm and determination to make sureitcontinues. The numbers attendingare testament to Rosa’s passion’’. ‘‘Since the beginning Rosahas been a dedicatedand loyal committee member, supporterand volunteer in manycapacities for Age Concern Ashburton, arecording of outstanding serviceover 30 yearsand it has not cometoan end,’’ Trish and Dianna said, in their nomination.
