Reviewed by Rowena Hart Icouldn’t take my eyes off Angelina Jolie as she stars as the horned fairy Maleficent with the giantbirdwings and cheeks to die for. She waswearing ablack one-shouldered Atelier Versace gown that featured ashow-stopping scorpion brooch. Wow! At the opening nightofthe movie in LosAngeles Angelina was accompanied by five ofher six children: Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. Imagine seeing your Mumplaying thatrole, they must have been gob-smacked. Sylvie and Iboth loved every minute ofthe movie. Everything was asafairytale should be ...a beautiful princess, ahandsome prince, asilver castle and amagic forest full of gorgeous fairies.

He was referring, in part, to perception: that if the shopper on the high streets of London and New York wanted meat (ormilk) from apristine environment, thenthat consumer would drive, through bulk buyers, market behaviour. The advice is as valuable today as it was then,yet now refers more to the environment. Courier comment The argument for a clean environment will not go away, andneither it should. Farmers are not blind to this, and neither are dairy companies. And agreat dealhas been done. What concerns farmers (andcouncils) now in the thrust for pristinewaterways is the heavy hand of regulation. There is real fear out there, perceived or otherwise, that the proposed reforms are unworkable or too heavyhanded. The consultation time (yes,extended by awhole fortnight) is woefully inadequate. The government, though, would be wise to considercarefully the thousandsofsubmissions it will get. You do not haveto look far on social media to detect agroundswell of opposition to someof the proposals and THIS WEEK’SSPECIALS reference to the type of unrest now seen in Europe. What is neededhere (as ever) is compromise: farmingknows what needs to be done, and is doing it, in some cases to an extraordinary degree. If the environmental protection workalready done is not recognised, or if farmers have to undo it to meet regulations, tempers may fray. Ashburton,asnew Local news at www.starnews.co.nz mayor Neil Brown says, is already at an advantage: its managed aquifer scheme might notbethe whole answer, but it is astep in the right direction. Freshwater reform is a topicfor all, as towns also have to comply with stormwater etc. That will come at a cost one you, as ratepayers, will bear. Everyone is interested in, and wants, clean rivers and streams. What must be weighed now is the price. John Keast Methven Rodeo reaches 50year milestone, and plenty to celebrate Methven Rodeo, one of the largest inthe country in terms of crowd size and competitor numbers, has reached a 50year milestone and is on this Sunday. Rodeo in Methven started as an offshoot of the Methven A&P Show in 1970 and was seen as a way of raisingmoney and giving locals another event to enjoy. The rite ofpassage to the chairman’s role of the A&P show was via the chair of the rodeo for many years. Local cowboys who saw rodeo as agood fit for the community built an arena and helped to start the event that now draws over 6000 people each year. The original rodeo programme was similar to what is offered today, but without open team roping, second division grade and junior events. Sheep riding, popular for many years, is now off the programme due to changes in the animal welfare code. ‘‘The rodeo has brought millions of dollars of outside money into our community with the influx of visitors to town. ‘‘Over the years the club has directly donated well in excess of $30,000 some years we haven’t made any money and others we have put the profits into building assets,’’ said past Methven Rodeo Club president Dave Harper The Methven Lions Club had run the gate at the rodeo for many years and its percentage of gate takings would be close to$120,000, all of which had stayed inthe community, Mr Harper said. The Will to Live organisation is this year’s event beneficiary. Over the last 50 years Methven Rodeo has hosted two national finals. Local bronc Black Betty won bareback horse of the year last year, meaning she is the best of the best in the country. Sunday’s rodeo action will once again feature some ofthe best bucking and time event stock in the South Island. Abig screen will be set up to show the action and replays of the rides. There will be a large number of localcompetitors entering events and to give itnostalgic feel, past announcer, Neville Clarke, will return tobe apart of the action. A postrodeo party will be held at Methven Resort to further celebrate the 50 year milestone. Life members will be honoured, event winners will receive trophy jackets or trophy buckles on top of the prize money pool on offer. The Methven Rodeo programme starts at 8:30am with second division barrels leading the charge. Tickets can only be bought at the gate.
