Local news at www.starnews.co.nz Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 10 October 2019, Page 11 Rocks, fossils to fore Petrified wood, fossils and polished stones were unearthed during the ‘‘journey to the centre of the earth’’ holiday programme at the Ashburton Public Library this week. The ‘create our own voyages’ session saw local rock enthusiast Paul Breakwell, amember of the Canterbury Mineral and Lapidary Club, talk about his experience collecting rocks and fossils in the district and further afield. He spoke of his collection and areas around Mid Canterbury which were great sources of fossils, such as Mt Somers, and encouraged the children attending to get into rock and fossil hunting. Ten year old Donovan Monk was one of around 25 children at the session who already enjoys the hobby. He has acollection of rocks and shells found mostly around Wakanui and Ashton beaches. He was also able to use some for his fish tank. Mr Breakwell said there may have been no jurassic animals able to roam Mid Canterbury, as mountains such as Mt Somers were all under water, but there were many waterbased creatures which is why fossils of shells, whale bones or those of the giant penguin found last year in North Canterbury were found in the middle of landlocked areas. He had examples of rocks, fossils, agate and petrified wood for the children to see, and feel, up close. And gave them afossilised shark’s tooth and a polished stone to take home. The children then made their own dinosaur fossil using a imprinted clay mould and plaster of Paris.

We canconvert your internal gutters to standard external gutters. Strict communication rule during council meetings There were strict protocols to prohibit councillors ‘‘corresponding out of this room’’, chief executive officer Hamish Riach said. He was reacting to a suggestion from Ashburton councillor Lynette Lovett, as council reviewed its video policy, that council create a bigger delay in its live feed of council meetings to do away with any perception councillors might be sending or receiving emails on their tablets. Cr Lovett said with meetings being broadcast ‘‘some may think we are being contacted’’ if a councillor looked at a tablet, on which their agendas are shown. Mr Riach said that would only be aperception as there were strict rules on that. Communications manager Ruben Garcia said the delay now was between 30 seconds and two minutes and anything else required a better system. Cr Selwyn Price asked if it was possible for 2210141 votes to be recorded. It was difficult for viewers to hear how councillors had voted if they did not have their microphones on, and only four could be on at any one time.
