Pipeline to future growth locked in 

By John Keast 

Ashburton council has been thanked 

for its foresight in replacing ahead 

of time akey piece of wastewater 

infrastructure. 

Peter Seipp, managing director of 

Seipp Construction, contracted to 

futureproof the Ashburton wastewater 

system by replacing a small 

pipe that runs under the Ashburton 

River, said many councils waited 

until work like that was urgent, but 

Ashburton was ahead of its time in 

doing the work now and building in 

capacity for the future. 

That showed respect for the community 

and the environment. 

Mr Seipp spoke at a blessing 

ceremony on the south side of the 

river and the work is now under 

way. 

The $7m project began on Monday 

and will take about 14 months. 

The work will affect sections of the 

AshburtonLake Hood cycle trails. 

The project involves a 1100mm 

pipe, more than twice the size of the 

existing pipe, put under the river, and

connecting to anew pump station to 

be built near the wastewater plant at 

Tinwald. 

The pumping station will be as big 

as a threestorey building and be 

underground. 

It will have four pumps big enough 

to shift all the water in the EA 

Networks Centre in about 15 

minutes. 

Council’s service delivery group 

manager Neil McCann said the 

project would provide for Ashburton’s 

growth and meet population 

needs. 

‘‘We’re very pleased to be delivering 

this necessary upgrade. It will 

benefit residents now and in the

future.’’ 

Ashburton council project manager 

Shyamal Ram said the existing 

pipeline was put in in the 1970s and 

needed to be renewed. 

Preparation work had taken 

months. 

At its deepest part, the pipe would 

be 8m below ground level.

He said the pipe and pump station 

had adesign life of 100 years. 

The blessing was performed by 

Tewera King, of Arowhenua, and 

mayor Neil Brown sunk aspade into 

ground near where the pump station 

will be built to signal to start of the 

development. 

Though the Ashburton/Hakatere 

River Trail on the northern side of 

the river would remain open for 

much of the project, minor closures 

were expected. 

Asection of the AshburtonLake 

Hood Trail (on the southern side) 

will be closed near the construction 

site at Boundary Road. 

People will be directed to use a 

detour via Grahams Road and Grove 

Farm Road.

Dip in the bowl and achairman is selected 

By Mick Jensen 

Democracy was in action from the 

first minute of Monday’s Methven 

Community Board’s (MCB) meeting, 

with two ballots needed to decide the 

chairman and deputy chairman roles. 

At the first meeting of the new 

term, new Western Ward councillor 

Rodger Letham proposed firsttime 

board memberKelvin Holmes for the 

chairman role, while fellow councillor 

Liz McMillan backed previousterm 

chairman Dan McLaughlin. 

Mr Letham was seconded by Ron 

Smith, while Sonia McAlpine gave 

her vote to McLaughlin, meaning 

voting was tied at33. 

Afteraquickphone calltoAshburton 

council for policy confirmation, it 

was left to senior council manager 

and acting meeting chair Jane 

Donaldson to draw aname outofthe 

hat, in this case abowl, todecide the 

chairman. 

Mr McLaughlin’s name wasdrawn. 

The same process was repeated 

with the deputy chairman role, with 

Kelvin Holmes this time upagainst 

Sonia McAlpine. 

Mrs McAlpine’s name was drawn. 

Ms Donaldson had the option 

under delegated authority to choose a 

candidate for each role, but was not 

comfortable with making those decisions. 

After general consensus around 

the table, it was decided that name 

drawing was the best option. 

A coin toss, which was used 

recently to decide the final place on 

theQueenstown LakesDistrict Council, 

was also considered, but ruled out. 

Abyelection will be held tofind a 

fifth MCB board member, after just 

four candidates stood at the October 

election.

Day at the races down on farm 

By Toni Williams 

Greenstreet dairy 

farmers LeeAnne and 

Norm Stewart swapped 

their gumboots and 

overalls for atouch of 

glamour this week. 

The farming couple 

opened their home to 

family, friends and fellow 

rural neighbours to host 

agarden party for the 

158th running of the 

Melbourne Cup, on 

Tuesday afternoon. 

It was attended by 

more than 50 people 

including Greenstreet 

farming family members 

from the Butterick, 

Tavendale, Hanna and 

Webb families. 

The event included a 

bestdressed 

competition, won by 

Jeanette Van der Nagel; 

cup day sweepstakes, 

drinks, nibbles and pot 

luck tea. 

The Stewarts, who are 

‘‘enthusiastic race goers’’ 

said it was an easy way to 

get people together and 

was areminder of days of

held such events along 

the rural road; the last 

one in 2012.

Call for water impact study 

Government must commission an independent 

study to identifythe social and economic impactsof 

the proposed Action for Healthy Waterways, an 

Ashburton council submission says. 

The hardhitting submission has been prepared 

under urgency to meet the Government’s tight 

submission deadline of October 31. 

The council has implored the Government in 

futuretoplan and prepare for ‘‘longer engagement 

periods’’ on issues that had broad implications. 

‘‘Council is highly concerned with the timing of 

this consultation. From alocal government perspective, 

the AugustOctober period of the triennium 

leading into local body elections can be a 

difficult and politically charged time. When 

considered more broadly from arural economy 

perspective, this time of year is already demanding 

for dairy, sheep, cropping and beef industries. 

‘‘Add to this the pressure of proposals with farreaching 

implications, ashas been suggested, we 

consider it entirely predictable the discussion has 

been largely negative,’’ the submission said. 

Council said the missing assessment of the 

impact ofthe proposals on the local economy is 

‘‘most concerning for our district’’. 

‘‘History has taught us that when farming 

sneezes, Ashburton District catches acold.’’ 

It said that before proceeding further, ‘‘we 

believe that the Government must commission a 

thorough independent study to identify the 

economic and social impactsthat implementing the 

FWPS would have.’’ 

At the broadest level, council saw that livelihoods 

of someinthe community could be affected. 

‘‘Many inour community are employed in jobs 

that are either directly or indirectly connected to 

the agricultural industry.’’ 

It said the district had been affectedbyM.bovis, 

and council was also concerned the community 

would face additional and compounding pressures 

as aresult of the freshwater proposals that could 

impact on resilience and wellbeing. 

The proposals would also have significant 

impacts oncouncils toupgrade infrastructure for 

drinking water, wastewater and stormwater and 

rate increases were inevitable. 

‘‘For our rural sector, weare concerned about 

the absence of meaningful economic impact 

analysis on farming systems in the discussion 

document. Case studies that are included in the 

proposals are not representative of Mid Canterbury 

farmingoperations and are limited in their analysis 

of costs.’’ 

Council was also concerned areport prepared 

for the Ministry for the Environment by Macfarlane 

Rural Business Ltd was not included in the 

discussion document. 

The council acknowledged that many local 

farmers and growers were at the forefront of 

research and technology to advance environmentally 

sustainablepractices, and noted the legalaction 

that was taken byForest and Bird NZ and the 

subsequent decision of the Office of Auditor 

General to withdraw the exemption for Water 

Zone Committee members to participate freely in 

discussions threatened tounravel the collaborative 

structures that had supported the Canterbury 

Water Management Strategy.

Funds in for hot pools 

Methven’s Opuke Thermal 

Pools & Spa project is 

moving a step closer to 

reality with the $7.5 million 

capital raising now completed. 

A land sale agreement 

with MethvenTrotting Club 

has now also gone unconditional 

and a subdivision 

has been granted. 

The developed design 

stage ofthe project has also 

been completed and the 

next major milestone will be 

the commencement of site 

preparationand plant building 

construction in December. 

The main building 

detailed design work is 

expected to be signed off in 

January. 

Bradford Building has 

been selected as the principal 

builder on the project. 

The $15 million hot pools 

project was given a major 

funding boost with a 

$7.5million loan from the 

Government’s Provincial 

Growth Fund in February. 

The Opuke Thermal 

Pools &Spa project is being 

driven byMethven Adventures 

and will have three 

very separate experiences; 

affordable family bathing, 

adult exclusive bathing, and 

high quality spa therapies. 

Murray Harrington from 

Price Waterhouse Coopers, 

is the new Methven Adventures 

chair, and Rainer Irrigationfounder 

and property 

developer Les Briggs is also 

new on the board. 

Former Methven Adventures 

board members James 

McKenzie, Andrew Cartwright 

and Lloyd Robinson 

will head up the project 

steering team that will oversee 

the detailed design and 

construction phases. 

Construction isexpected 

to take nine to 12 months.

THIS WEEK’SSPECIALS 


In this short report, nothing is watered down 

Former Ashburton councillor 

Peter Reveley 

warned new councillors 

that much of their work 

in the coming term would 

involve water. 

He was right, and 

much of the work of 

previous councils has also 

involved water. 

The first major report 

to hit the desk of new 

councillors was the council’s 

submission to government 

on proposed 

freshwater reforms. 

It pulls no punches. 

The document first, as 

is the way of these things, 

Courier comment 

sets out afew facts and 

figures about Ashburton, 

agrees with the principle 

of improving water noone 

is going to argue 

against that and then 

says: ‘‘Council is highly 

concerned with the timing

period of the triennium 

leading into local body 

elections can be adifficult 

and politically

Skatepark soon 

Methven’s new skatepark 

project is heading for apre 

Christmas opening. 

The project has been 

driven by KidzMethven and 

will be on the corner of 

Bank and McMillan streets. 

It will provide a dedicated 

space for local kids 

and young people toskate

building that housed a 

privatelyowned indoor 

skatepark in Methven was 

damaged. 

It was hoped to have the 

skatepark completed by 

December 21. 

farmer would disagree 

that that is also ademanding 

time for farming. 

Council then goes further, 

imploring the Government 

in future to 

‘‘plan and prepare for 

longer engagement 

periods’’. 

For that, read: don’t 

rush usin future. 

There is more. 

The council then said 

that before the Government 

does anything 

more, it ‘‘must commission 

athorough independent 

study toidentify 

the economic and social 

impacts’’ thatimplementing 

the proposals would 

have. 

The proposed reforms 

will affect all. 

This is not just ‘‘something 

for the farm’’. 

The submission says it 

believes rate rises will be 

inevitable as councils 

upgrade infrastructure 

for drinking water, wastewater 

and stormwater. 

It some areas, the bill 

could be big. 

The submission also 

says that key agriculture 

businesses could be significantly 

affected by the 

proposed targets. 

Together, those businesses 

contribute $603m 

to the district’s gross 

domestic product. 

The freshwater 

reforms are proposals; an 

independent advisory 

panel will provide Government 

Ministers with a 

report on consultation 

submissions, and will 

include recommendations. 

At the first meeting, 

councillors ran their eyes 

over the council submission, 

one from ECan 

and another from the 

Canterbury mayoral 

forum. 

All follow similar 

themes. 

That these bodies (and 

others) got the material 

together toprepare submissions 

inthe straitened 

timeframe is remarkable, 

but the Ashburton council 

was never going to let 

the (short) opportunity 

pass. 

Preparing the submission 

was apriority. 

What must be awaited 

now is the Government’s 

response to the submissions 

and there will be 

many. 

Most are agreed something 

needs to be done. 

The big question is 

what, when, and the cost. 

John Keast 

Fountain is back with afish 


The McElhinney Water 

Fountain, on the corner 

of Havelock and West 

streets in downtown Ashburton, 

is again in top 

working order after a 

collaborative effort to 

restore it. 

It has spent many 

seasons out of action. 

The fountain, also a 

drinking fountain, was 

bequeathed to Ashburton 

by the late Myra and Bob 

McElhinney in the early 

1980s. The couple, who 

had a hairdressing business 

on Tancred Street 

and lived on Cameron 

Street, had no children 

and left $5000 to the 

Ashburton community at 

the death of Myra who 

died in 1981; Bob died in 

1977. 

According to family 

members at the time, Bob 

wanted afountain tobe 

near the war memorial as 

he had served in war for 

four and a half years. 

After Myra’s death, two 

bequests were made; one 

was $2000 to maintain 

and repair the town clock, 

and the other for aconstruction 

of a fountain. 

The location and design 

was finalised by a 

Borough Council subcommittee 

set up to handle 

the request. 

The fountain, designed 

and executed by Hampton 

Studios, of Christchurch, 

was officially unveiled on 

June 15, 1984. 

In its time it was top of 

the line,but of late has sat 

idle and in need of attention. 

Ashburton Contracting 

Ltd (ACL) plumbing division 

manager Aaron 

Gairns remembered the 

fountain from his childhood, 

travelling past it 

each day on the way to 

primary school. It irked 

him that it was not working. 

‘‘If you see one fountain 

on your best corner 

not going, what do you 

do?,’’especially for someone 

working in water, he 

said. 

He approached the 

Ashburton District Council 

to set the wheels in 

motion for its restoration. 

And also contacted Ashburton 

Museum to find 

out more about the McElhinney’s 

and the ‘‘benevolent 

actions of a couple 

who did so much for 

Ashburton’’. 

With ACL, Laser Electrical 

and Throwin’ Shapes 

Glass on board, their 

charitable restoration 

project got under way. 

Mr Gairns said what 

started as asimple project 

was more involved than 

first thought. 

The brick work was 

cleaned with a dry ice 

compound to prevent 

water blasting damage, 

then covered in aprotective 

coating, the drinking 

tap changed, decking seat 

replaced and the internal 

workings sorted. 

Laser Electrical manager 

Brent Christie said in 

the end a new water 

pumping system was 

installed as well as warm 

LED strip lighting under 

the fountain pools and 

display flood lights. 

Glass artist Tash Sim 

crafted abespoke purple 

tinged, with silver fleck, 

glass salmon the result of 

three separate firings at 

812 degree temperatures 

to adorn the frontage of 

the fountain. 

The salmon replacesan 

existing copper mounted 

salmon and was atribute 

to Mr McElhinney’s 

enjoyment of fishing. 

The three businesses 

efforts all came to aclose 

at the restoration launch 

last week with apush of a 

button by St Joseph’s 

School Year 7pupil Ben 

Ciron. He got to be the 

first to use the drinking 

fountain in front of the 

businesses involved, Ben’s 

school peers and members 

of the public. There 

was also asausage sizzle. 

Ben earned the right 

after winning aminiquiz 

about the fountain and its 

restoration.

Information workshop in wind 

Aworkshop on information 

available to Ashburton 

resident and visitors 

will beheld. 

It cameatthe behest of 

returning councillor 

Angus McKay whomoved 

successfully that ‘‘a workshop 

on information 

delivered to the people of 

Ashburton and visitors 

and how it fits into the 

new CBD plan’’. 

The motion, opposed 

by Cr Stuart Wilson, came 

after council discussed the 

quarterly report of tourism 

body Experience Mid 

Canterbury. 

General 

manager 

Bruce Moffat said only 

three of80iSites in New 

Zealand made money. 

He said most people 

booked online or found 

out about an area by 

searching online. 

He said he had seen 

people come into an 

iSite, make an inquiry, 

then go outside, flip out a 

phone and make abooking. 

But Cr McKay, holding 

out his phone, asked 

where the information 

was he said he had 

looked and could not find 

it. 

Mr Moffatwent to take 

the phone to show him 

the site, but mayor Neil 

Brown said that might be 

better outside the meeting. 

Cr Lynette Lovett said 

the workshop should also 

include all groups that 

provide information, such 

as Presbyterian Support, 

and not just council and 

Experience Mid Canterbury. 

Cr Stuart Wilson asked 

if it was correct that when 

the Ashburton iSite 

closed that the money 

saved was added to the 

budgetofExperience Mid 

Canterbury. 

The chairman, James 

Urquhart, said that was 

right, but the organisation, 

then, was going 

down a dark hole and 

then became a councilcontrolled 

organisation, 

meaning itscosts wentup. 

And council had been 

reducing its budget by 

$10,000 ayear every year. 

‘‘We are going backwards,’’ 

Mr Urquhart 

said. 

Cr Wilson said he was 

‘‘probably the author’’ of 

that but surely the tourism 

industry could make up 

the difference. 

‘‘What other industry is 

subsidisedtothe extent of 

tourism?’’ 

Mr Moffat said Experience 

Mid Canterbury had 

never made any money. 

Cr Wilson said if the 

body was ‘‘doing such a 

wonderfuljob’’ whyaren’t 

they (tourism businesses) 

supporting you. 

Mr Urquhart said they 

were, and the discussion 

was going in circles. 

He said the district got 

a good return on any 

council money. 

Cr Falloon said any 

previous motions on the 

subject should bebrought 

to the workshop. 

Councillor makes plea, MP son hears call 

New Ashburton 

councillorJohn 

Falloon, an accountant, 

has madeapleato 

central government to 

simplify the 

requirements for 

councils’ annualreports 

and his son Andrew, 

the MP for Rangitata, 

was there to herethe 

call. 

Mr Falloonisa 

National MP, so would 

havetotakeupthe case 

fromthe Opposition 

benches. 

Mr Falloon saidthe 

annualreport was a 

longand complex 

document anda 

goldmine of 

information if youknew 

where to look, but he 

feltsorry forthose who 

put it together as they 

hadtoworktodifferent 

accounting standards. 

He said MPs should 

tellInternalAffairs 

about thecomplex 

nature of thejob and 

thecoast of havingit 

audited. 

Mr Falloon said those 

whoput it together 

needed congratulating. 

Mayor Neil Brownsaid 

he was sure there would 

be no staff argument.

Anglers flock to 

high country lakes 

Anglers flocked to the 

Canterbury back country 

in their hundreds as fine 

weather heralded the 

opening day of the high 

country fishing season. 

Conditions on the 

lakes were beautiful with 

warm fine weather providing 

the perfect opportunity 

for families to 

spend the day fishing. 

Such is the prestige 

held by anglers for the 

Canterbury high country 

as a fishing destination 

that anglers camefrom as 

far away as Southland 

and Auckland. 

Some northern hemisphereanglers 

also timed 

their trip to New Zealand 

to coincide with opening 

weekend. 

Over ahundred boats 

were on Lake Coleridge 

but shorebased anglers 

were out in force and 

both were reeling in the 

fish. 

Fish & Game delays 

the opening ofthe high 

country areas to fishing 

for amonth so that late 

spawning rainbow trout 

have the opportunity to 

spawn without being 

disturbed. 

On Saturday afternoon, 

hundreds 

converged onRyton Bay 

for the prize giving of the 

annual Lake Coleridge 

Fishing Competition. 

Therewas 265 entrants 

competing for thousands 

of dollars of prizes donated 

by Hunting &Fishing 

Tower Junction. 

While there were 

prizes for fish caught, 

there were many more 

spot prizes for entrants 

of all age groups. 

Fish &Game uses the 

data gathered from the 

fish caught to assess the 

health of the fish population 

in the lakes. 

The lakes themselves 

looked in good condition 

with lake levels higher 

than last year’s opening 

following a good spring 

snow melt. 

Fish weighed in for the 

competition looked 

healthy and some fish 

weredestined straight for 

the barbecue after they 

were measured. 

Fish &Game Rangers 

were out in force checking 

that anglers were 

licensed and following 

the rules. 

Apart from acouple of 

anglers that had left their 

licence at home, no 

issues were detected. 

The number of anglers 

checked on lakes was up 

compared to last year, 

with some lakes having a 

third more anglers on 

them compared to last 

year. 

The Canterbury high 

country lakesare so close 

to Christchurch and easily 

accessible bycar that 

theyare aperfect spot for 

aday trip.

with how many people 

from both communities 

stopped by to havetheir 

questions answered in 

August. 

‘‘We were able to provide 

answers to many 

questions from the communities 

regarding 

replacement log burners, 

heat pumps, subsidies, 

and Healthier Homes 

Canterbury,’’ he said. 

‘‘We’ve been carrying 

out follow up visits to 

people’s households 

where needed, to help 

them determine what 

type of log burner is 

currently in place, and 

what action, ifany, they 

need to take before the 

deadline. 

‘‘In one instance, we 

were able to confirm for a 

customer that they are 

already using a lowemission 

wood burner 

and therefore don’t need 

to take any action before 

the 1January 2020 deadline.’’ 

Some people are eligible 

for financial assistance 

and subsidies for 

new log burners and 

advice on thatarea willbe 

offered.

New name for service provider 

Asignificant provider of community 

services, Safer Ashburton District, is 

changing its name to better reflect 

that its services are delivered across 

the entire Mid Canterbury region. 

Now named Safer Mid Canterbury, 

the organisation has been 

providing positive opportunities and 

pathways for change for the last 25 

years. Its project areas include community 

safety, crime prevention, supporting 

vulnerable families, children, 

migrants, youth justice clients and 

adult offenders. 

General manager Kevin Clifford 

said the name change was about 

avoiding any confusion about who 

could besupported by its services. 

Watercolourist exhibiting 

Large, striking and colourful 

watercolour 

paintings of garden 

flowers by Richard Bolton 

feature in a new 

exhibition at the 

McAtamney Gallery, 

Geraldine. 

Opening to coincide 

with the Geraldine Festival, 

‘‘A Brush with 

Spring’’ will show 10 

paintings of rhododendrons, 

poppies and 

peonies. The paintings 

are loose and fluid, 

showing the gorgeous 

colours of the flowers 

against their foliage. 

‘‘Flowers are a new 

direction for me and I’m 

really pleased with the 

results,’’ says Richard. 

‘‘It’s nice to paint 

something different and 

there’s always abit of a 

risk, but I think these 

have turned out very 

well.’’ 

Watercolour has been 

Richard’s preferred 

medium since a young 

age. His passion has led 

to great success, with 

many awards and commissions 

coming his way. 

Richard has also written 

books on watercolour 

painting that are 

sold around the world. 

The books led to official 

invitations to paint in 

One of the Bolton works to be displayed. 

China, Tibet, Taiwan 

and Israel. He had the 

unique experience of 

travelling through Tibet 

and China at a time 

when there were usually 

severe restrictions on 

visitors. 

Now living in Geraldine, 

Richard and his Kiwi 

wife Margaret frequently 

travel toEurope and he 

paintsthere whenever he 

can. He is now wellknown 

here forhis highly 

skilful works, especially 

New Zealand landscapes. 

Carolyn McAtamney, 

of the McAtamney Gallery, 

says Richard is a 

master of watercolour. 

‘‘In this new exhibition 

he has combinedarealistic 

depiction of the 

flowers with a more 

impressionist style inthe 

background. His expertise 

and craftmanship is 

phenomenal.’’ 

‘‘Richard has exhibited 

atthe McAtamney 

Gallery for some years 

but this ishis first solo 

exhibition. Weare very 

excited toshow his wonderful 

paintings.’’ 

The inspirationfor the 

garden paintings came 

from Richard’s sisterinlaw’s 

rhododendron nursery 

atWoodbury. The 

public isinvited to meet 

Richard at theexhibition 

opening at the McAtamney 

Galleryat7pm on 13 

November. 

The exhibition will run 

from 14November until 

24 December.

Bankers help to plant natives 

Staff from Ashburton 

ANZ have mucked in to 

plant hundreds of 

natives near the Rakaia 

Walkway. 

Each year the bankers 

volunteer to support the 

community and this year 

16 of the ANZ team 

assisted locals by cutting 

weed mat, digging holes 

and planting shrubs such 

as hebes, kowhai, lancewood 

and muehlenbeckia 

at morning or afternoon 

sessions in Rakaia. 

Many of the plants 

were propagated and 

donated by Rakaia 

people. 

Previously ANZ staff 

have completed ameals 

on wheels run, helped 

Lagmhor School with a 

peastraw fundraiser and 

painted an exhibition 

space at Ashburton Art 

Gallery. 

The Rakaia beautification 

project is part of 

the Rakaia Community 

Association’s plan to 

further develop the 

nearby walkway, which 

runs for alittle over 4km 

from Salmon Tales to 

the western edge of the 

town (Wolseley road). 

The walkway offers 

biking, running and 

walking opportunities 

for locals and visitors, 

and plans are in place to 

extend it further in the 

future. 

Historically the land 

was wildly overgrown 

and covered in gorse 

and broom. 

The Rakaia Walkway 

project was aNZGardener 

of the Year finalist 

and has been developed 

with thousands of 

hours of community 

labour.

Posters express visions for peace 

Local young artists have got behind aPeace 

Poster competition promoted by Ashburton 

County Lions. 

Creating the peace posters is seen as away 

to give children the chance to express their 

visions of peace and inspire the world 

through art and creativity. 

The contest has been run by Lions clubs 

around the world for 30 years 

The local competition was run in conjunction 

with Ashburton Art Gallery and aimed 

at 1113 year olds. 

It was won by St Joseph’s School student 

Sophia Clifford, with Amalia Worsfold the 

runner up. 

Sophia explored peace by portraying two 

contrasting views of the world, one with 

pollution/war and one showing harmony. She 

linked them with abridge.

Council CEO Hamish Riach comments 

Preparingfor an emergency 

Earlier this week, Council 

staff and representatives 

from our local 

emergency services hunkered 

down for aday of 

training on responding to 

an Alpine Fault magnitude 

eight event. The 

purpose was to give staff 

the chance to test their 

skills and get afeel for 

the emergency operations 

centre environment 

they’d be working 

in. It got me thinking 

about the importance of 

everyone coming 

together and working as 

one, from services and 

volunteers right through 

to you, our community. 

Major events, whether 

they be floods, snow 

storms, earthquakes or 

other emergencies can be 

unpredictable and chaotic. 

We can’t always be 

sure when they will happen 

or their severity, but 

we can prepare ourselves 

as best as possible to 

manage the situation. 

Preparation can happen 

at all levels, from our 

qualified emergency 

services keeping their 

training uptodate, the 

Council having detailed 

plans in place ready to 

action when something 

happens, and residents 

having their emergency 

survival kits and getaway 

kits sorted. 

Through all of us 

playing our part before 

and during these 

events, we can try to 

minimise the effects 

these emergencies will 

have on our community. 

Many of you may 

have already been in an 

emergency before and 

have made yourselves 

as prepared as possible 

for any future events. 

For others, there may 

be a sense of apathy 

that anything could happen. 

But, as a civil 

defence campaign once 

pointed out, what never 

happens, happens. 

Has your family got 

their survival and getaway 

kits ready? Do you 

have the essentials sorted 

to look after yourselves 

for three days? Do you 

know what to do if power 

is lost and you can’t 

access the internet or TV 

for information? Who is 

collecting the kids from 

school? Where will you 

meet or leave amessage at 

if you can’t contact each 

other? These are all issues 

that can be prepared for 

now to avoid added stress 

when something happens. 

There are great 

resources available online 

to tell you how to make 

your emergency kits and 

what items you’ll need. 

You’ll also find aHousehold 

Emergency Plan with 

checklists and spaces to 

put important contacts and 

phone numbers. Simply 

visit getthru.govt.nz. 

Although we never wish 

for emergencies to happen, 

we can all do something 

now to make sure we 

can get through if and 

when it does. If you need 

to update or make your 

emergency kits, why not 

take the time this weekend 

to get prepared? It really is 

time well spent.

hear the achievements of these fantastic young 

people.Prize-givingsare avaluable timetopause, 

reflect and celebrate achievements. Life isbusy. 

As we move towards exams, summer jobs and 

for those leaving school, the next step, itiseasy 

to constantly look ahead and focus on what is 

approaching.Weall need to ensurethatwetake the time on occasions to 

step back and appreciate our achievements along the way. 

NCEAExams 

NCEA external exams are just beginning. They run from 08 November 

through to 03 December.Iwish all students who aretaking partinexams 

all the best. Itisalso worth remembering that the Ashburton College 

Libraryisopen most evenings during the week from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. At 

the Library, therewill be teachers presenttohelp students revise arange 

of subjects in preparation for their exams. The timetable posted in the 

Librarygives further information around these study sessions. 

Leadership 

Our senior students have finished at school for 2019 and have gone on 

study leave in preparation forNCEA exams.When this happens,onlyYear 

9and 10 students are left atCollege. The Year 10 students are now the 

‘leaders’–the oldest and most experienced students left atschool. This 

brings responsibilitywith it. 

Year 9students also have aleadership role to play over this time. Inthe 

coming weeks,Year 8students from contributing schools will be visiting 

the College to get information, meet people and experience lessons as 

part oftheir transition into Year 9in2020.When these students visit the 

school,they will be lookinguptothe currentCollege students to see the 

AshCollWay –how we do things hereatAshburton College. 

Fortunately,our Year 9and 10 students arenot new to leadership.Asthe 

eldest students at aschool in the past -beitprimary,intermediate or both 

-they have experienced what it means tobearole model for younger 

students. Many have also taken on leadership roles in cultural, sporting, 

community orclassroom contexts. Along the way, they will have made 

apositivecontribution and made mistakes.Thisisnormal,and all partof 

growing as aperson. 

The final weeks of school are the next opportunity for our students to 

step up and challenge themselves.Welook forward toseeing our Year 9 

and 10 students model the College Values by AchievingQuality, Showing 

Pride and Having Respect while also growing their own leadership and 

role-modelling skills.Theyare,after all,our next generationofschool and, 

eventually,communityleaders. 

Poipoia te kākano kiapuāwai-nurturethe seed and it will blossom.

sing forthe warm and appreciativeaudience. 

Through a thirty minute programme, Phoenix Rising presented a range of 

repertoire including some from their performance at The Big Sing and more 

recently-learned songs thatwill formpartofthe upcomingtour repertoire. 

This included a Christmas bracket with the well-received ‘Holly Jolly 

Christmas’featuring akazoo trio of (lefttoright) Eddie Galbraith, Ollie Bubb 

and Jack Templeton. 

What is akazoo you ask? It is amusical instrument which adds a‘buzzing’

As well as performances by the whole choir, some of the young musicians 

were able to be featured in solo and group performances. Year 10 student,

Annual Chess Match– 

ThirdConsecutiveVictory to the Staff 

This event is steeped in the annals of historical activities at Ashburton 

College. Aset game of Chess is drawnout of ahat, in the staffroom at Staff 

Briefing to ensure witnesses! We are assured that this annual end-of-year 

eventstartedasaveryformal affair,with players wearing ‘boards’depicting 

their positions. Atsome stage it morphed into the eventitistoday, always 

alot of fun, and providing wonderful opportunities for students to douse 

staff and viceversa. 

This game, held this year after weather delays on Friday 25 October and 

still in cold conditions, is then played out on the College Chessboard with 

‘players’moved according to the real movesofthe original game. Assisted 

by copious amounts of water and precarious forms oftransport toremove 

‘dead’players,the event provided afun entertainmentoption at lunchtime. 

As is also traditional, the staff moves are made byalong-serving, retiring 

staff member. 

This honour went this year to fortynine year-long Historyand Lawteacher 

Mark Gleason, as he changed from his customary position as ‘King’player 

on the chessboard. 

Making the moves for the students this year was Andrew Phimester with 

teacherand Chess Match organiser Jason Vanninicalling the moves.

Sound Results at NewZealand Schools’ 

National Mountain- Biking Championships 

TheAshburtonCollege team 

of (pictured right, lefttoright) 

Jack Savage,BradBlundell, 

Riley Blundell,Mya Johnston 

and Holly Trotter competed 

in this eventinDunedin 

early October,overthe three 

disciplines of Enduro, Down 

Hill and Cross Country. At this 

event, spread across grades, 

over 400 riders competed,representing 108 schools from throughout New 

Zealand. 

Jocelyn Johnston, Manager, said that the tracks at Signal Hill were fast and 

dry and the sun shone on the Enduro event on Friday, with all of the team 

riding well. 

However, overnight rain meant the Downhill track was muddy for the 

practise runs and heavy rain just before the race created very challenging 

conditions toride in, with everyone riding cautiously to make it down the 

technical course. Unfortunately Brad got aflat tyre and wasunabletofinish 

therace, but everyone else washappytomakeitdownsafely. 

Sunday was avery early start for Cross-Country. With the tracks having 

dried out slightly, conditions were much better for racing. All of the team 

completed the course in goodtime amongst some very tough competition.

Final OutdoorEducation Event-Year 12 Cycle Tour 

On 17 and 18 October College Year 12 Outdoor Education students 

took partintheir last tripfor theyear. 

The cycle tour group initially utilised Ashburton’s Mountain BikeTrack and 

then continued down the AshburtonRiver Trail/WalkwayTrack to Hakatere. 

Outdoor Education teacher Luke Martin said that the students got to test 

their abilityonthe Mountain BikeTrack and at the Skills Park,beforeacalmer 

ride to thecoast.The weatherwas perfect on theThursday, thesun wasout 

which meant safe and easy riding conditions. Two ofCollege’s Japanese 

exchange students Yuno Hioki and Hiromune Kakeda attempted aset of 

the smaller jumps at the Skills Park,excited at nothavingexperienced such 

an opportunitybefore. 

Arriving at the Hakateresettlement, it wastimetoset up camp oppositethe 

beach and enjoyawell-deserved rest afterseveral hours of riding. 

Unfortunately, the weather changed overnight and was cold and rainy in 

the morning.Under tree cover the students practised their puncturerepair 

skills, before heading back. Track conditions were now alot more fun, or 

more scary, depending onyour view! It was impossible tonot get muddy 

and the conditionscertainly made the trip back alot moreinvolved foreach 

rider. Corners became slippery, with puddles there tocatch afront wheel 

and send the rider off if inattention crept in. 

Fortunately, all students made it back in one piece, although the need for 

ashower was on everyone’s mind with mud, mud, mud, everywhere. The 

students gained alot from the trip and it wasagreat waytofinish theyear. 

Nowitistimefor them to finishtheir theoryworkand evaluations of the trip 

in order to gain their final credits in Outdoor Education.

Working as one for safety 

Working together to 

spread messages of safety 

to people in the community 

saw the firstever 

Safety Village set up at 

the Ashburton A&P 

Show. 

It was a combined 

effort, set up by Safe 

Communities Ashburton 

District, between 12 Mid 

Canterbury community 

safety agencies. 

They all had their own 

tents, set up in a giant 

circle, to cover different 

aspects of safety themed 

around ‘‘keeping ourselves 

and our families 

safe’’. 

Among those to take 

part were crews from Fire 

and Emergency New 

Zealand (FENZ) spreading 

the word on good fire 

safety practices with alive 

fire display, interactive 

activities such as the 

Escape My House virtual 

fire safety programme, 

the evacuation challenge 

inflatable maze, as well as 

takeaway pamphlets and 

stickers. 

Fire and Emergency 

New Zealand fire risk 

management officer 

Bevan Findlay said the 

village was agreat chance 

to get safety messages out 

to alot of people at one 

time. 

He said it was the first 

big collaborative project 

for the community group 

as away of ‘‘helping the 

community and making 

them safer’’ and there 

was already talk of continued 

collaboration for 

next year. 

The other agencies 

were Ashburton Community

Old harvester with new message 


John Hall bought a1963 

Massey Ferguson 788 

model combine harvester 

around 30 years ago. 

It’s served him well 

cutting white clover on 

the farm, but is now 

mostly used for fun. 

And it still runs ‘‘really 

well’’. 

It made an appearance, 

with a message, at the 

Mid Canterbury Vintage 

Machinery Club, on site 

at the Ashburton A&P 

Show last weekend, and 

featured in the Grand 

Parade. 

The message ‘Farmers 

feed cities’ was agentle 

reminder to people in the 

community about the 

contribution farmers give 

to their lives. 

It was amessage, Mr 

Hall saw at aploughing 

championships in 

Ontario, Canada, where 

farmers are valued for 

their contribution. 

It tickled his fancy, and 

he brought the message 

home. 

This weekend he 

thought it was timely to 

use it. 

‘‘We’re proud farmers, 

but we don’t like what’s 

happening (farmers feeling 

under siege and misrepresented).Ithink 

it’s a 

true statement,’’ he said. 

The combine, initially 

owned from brand new by 

the Maw family of Barrhill, 

is powered by a 

Perkins motor. It has a10 

foot cut. 

In keeping with the 

theme of the show ‘Seeds 

of Mid Canterbury’, the 

combine sat along side 54 

other tractors, owned by 

club members, which were 

set up with aplough, discs, 

drills, a truck for carting, 

and atractor and baler. The 

combine’s final outing will 

be to the club’s Wheat and 

Wheels Rally, at the property 

of Anthony Hampton, 

in early April, 2022.

Win for Skyla and Dag 

The bond between Mt Somers 

shepherd Skyla Taylor and four 

year old heading dog, Dag, helped 

them secure the maiden win at the 

recent Tux New Zealand Yarding 

Challenge South Canterbury heat, 

at Springbank Farm, in Pleasant 

Point. 

The win, in which Skyla and Dag 

beat second placed competitor 

Simon Chamberlain and dog Indy 

by 8.5 points, will see the duo 

advance tothe South Island event, 

in Blenheim, early next year. 

It was the first time Skyla had 

competed in the event so gaining 

the qualifying time to advance 

further was apleasant surprise. 

Skyla, 26, has been shepherding, 

and entering local dog trial competitions, 

for the past seven years, 

preferring to stick to the local trials 

close to home. Along with the 

accolade of winning she also 

received prize money. 

She has six dogs but for yarding 

events only uses her favourite 

male heading dog, Dag who she 

has had since he was eight weeks 

old. 

Skyla Taylor and heading dog, 

Dag, share aspecial bond. 

(Photo supplied) 

They were competing again at 

the Ashburton A&P Show last 

weekend. 

The maiden win, considered a 

junior category in the competitions, 

is aboost to her early dog 

trialling experience, especially as 

it’s something she’s always wanted 

to do. 

‘‘I haven’t competed in the big 

(open) competitions, I’ve been 

doing the local ones around where 

I’ve been shepherding,’’ she says, 

and admits she is keen to stick to 

the maiden events for now. 

She has just returned from an 

overseas trip exploring the United 

Kingdom and Europe, but previously 

worked inSouthland and 

most recently, was head shepherd 

at Mt Somers Station. 

The move from Southland to 

Mid Canterbury, she said, came 

from seeking a change in landscapes. 

The former Telford student, who 

studied for a Diploma in Rural 

Business, was born and raised in 

rural Five Forks, near Oamaru. 

Her grandparents, Fay and Bruce 

McNab, owned afarm in the area. 

‘‘The family has been farmingall 

my life, so I’ve grown up with 

shepherding,’’ she said. 

Since returning from her trip she 

has continued working in the Mt 

Somers area picking up casual 

shepherding work. 

First ECan meeting for Mackenzie 

Mid Canterbury farmerIan 

Mackenzie has taken his place at 

the Environment Canterbury 

(ECan) table, effortlessly stepping 

into arole as councillorafter 

winning one of two Mid 

Canterbury/Opakihi regional 

constituency positions in the local 

body election. 

The council, madeupofIan 

Mackenzie, John Sunckell, 

Elizabeth McKenzie, Peter Scott 

(deputy chair),Vicky Southworth, 

Phil Clearwater, Claire McKay, 

Grant Edge, Megan Hands, Craig 

Pauling, Jenny Hughey(chair), 

Tane Apanui, Lan Pham and 

NicoleMarshall, is the first fully 

electedregionalcouncil since the 

Governmentsacked the standing 

council back in 2010. 

It was run by commissioners 

until 2016, when partial democracy 

was returned. 

Mr Mackenzie said the first 

ECan meeting, held on October 

24, saw council staff brief elected 

members to bring them up to date 

with the process of running 

Environment Canterbury. 

There was alot of listening, he 

said. 

‘‘It’s interesting that the nonfarming 

councillorsseem to be 

extremelyenthusiastic about 

tryingtolearn about new 

technologies that may be getting 

produced by AgResearchand 

various other research 

organisations,that will enable 

farmers to becomesuper heroes 

when it comes to the 

environment.’’ 

But he said there was alot of 

technology already in use in 

modern agriculture which was a 

lot different from the systemsused 

two generations ago. 

‘‘One of the things Iwant to 

achieve in the shortterm is try to 

help thesenew councillors,who 

are all quite green,understand 

modern agriculture...thereisabit 

of learning to be done. There is a 

bit of achasm there Isuspect.’’ 

He said the election of 

environmentalist Jenny Hughey as 

ECan chairwoman had seen ‘‘a 

very sensible woman elected to the 

chair’’ with plenty of governance 

experience. 

MrMackenzie too has 

experience in governance roles 

having servedonthe boards of 

several commercial businesses, 

charitableand community groups, 

governmentand NGOgroups. 

He also served some yearson 

the regional counciltransport 

committee,but was better known 

for his involvementwith water and 

the environment. 

He said upcoming challenges for 

thecouncil, and farmers, will 

include any essential freshwater 

plans imposed by governmentand 

now being considered by Cabinet 

members. 

Challenges ahead, 

vigilance needed 

‘‘There are still challenges ahead, and 

farmers need to be aware that the risk of 

getting (stock) infected with Mycoplasma 

bovis (Mbovis) is still very real,’’ 

says members of the Mbovis Programme. 

The arrival ofthe cattle disease into 

New Zealand is one of the greatest 

biosecurity challenges the country has 

ever faced, and the Mbovis Programme 

is aworld first attempt to eradicate the 

‘‘insidious cattle disease from our 

national herd’’. 

Last week the independent Technical 

Advisory Group (TAG) to the Mbovis 

Programme, made up of an international 

group of technical experts to 

provide critical advice and review ofthe 

Programme’s work, and progress 

towards eradication, released theirlatest 

report stating eradication was still considered 

possible. 

And members of the Mbovis Programme 

reminded farmers to remain 

vigilant with their animal movement 

records and onfarm biosecurity 

measures to prevent infection. 

‘‘If we allowed ittogounchecked we 

estimate it would cause $1.3 billion in 

productivity losses in the first ten years. 

It would also increase our use of 

antibiotics in cattle, cause animal welfare 

issues, and challenge our open 

approach to farming, which is based on 

extensive movement of cattle,’’ they 

said. 

‘‘We expect that the majority of 

infected farms will have been found by 

late 2020, after which there will be a 

longterm surveillance effort, to ensure 

that we have found all of the infected 

cattle.’’ 

‘‘Four percent of New Zealand’s 

24,000 farms have been under restrictions 

and required testing due to 

possible exposure to Mbovis. To date 

there have been 201 farms found to be 

infected, with 185 of those depopulated, 

cleaned and disinfected, and being 

supported back to farmingfree from the 

disease.’’ 

‘‘The three partners have been working 

to continuously improve the Programme, 

seeking regular review by 

independent experts, as well as feedback 

from affected farmers and industry 

groups. 

‘‘The Programme has paid out over 

$100 million in compensation to affected 

farmers, and completed more than one 

million tests in our labs. The length of 

time to test samples has been drastically 

reduced, and the average compensation 

claim is now paid within 23 working 

days. 

‘‘We have rolled out anew information 

management tool to give us better 

insights about what’s happening in the 

field, and we’ve increased our management 

and leadership in the regions, 

getting decisions made locally, and 

quickly. 

‘‘There are still challenges ahead, and 

farmers need to be aware that the risk of 

getting infected with Mbovis is still very 

real.’’

Farmers wait, wonder over water 

Mid Canterbury farmers 

are in aholding pattern 

waiting for the outcome 

of the Government 

Essential Freshwater plan 

which, at its close last 

week, had attracted more 

than 12,000 submissions. 

Ashburton arable farmer 

David Clark questioned 

how any government 

could suggestaplan 

that resulted in 

‘‘economic vandalism’’. 

The plan, and its potential 

effects, was apoint of 

conversation in Ashburton 

last week when 

National Party opposition 

agricultural spokeperson 

Todd Muller, from Bay of 

Plenty, spoke atapublic 

meeting in town, aspart 

of his nationwide travels. 

Todd Muller 

He was accompanied by 

Rangitata MP Andrew 

Falloon. 

Mr Muller was keen to 

talk about where the 

country was headed, 

especially rural New Zealand, 

where the Government 

wanted to take it, 

and the drivers pushing 

them. 

There were around 100 

people there, including 

Ashburton council representatives 

Environment 

Canterbury’s Ian Mackenzie 

and Federated Farmers 

Mid Canterbury 

president David Clark. 

‘‘I have afundamental 

belief that this Government 

has avery different 

visiononwhere they want 

to take this country, and 

particularly the New Zealand 

economy, and it is 

anchored back to 

observationsthat they had 

20 years ago,’’ MrMuller 

said. 

Mr Muller, who has a 

rural background, was 

aware of the highs and 

lows of farming. 

He spoke about capital 

gains tax, climate change 

(and reducing methane/ 

emission levels without 

threatening food production) 

and the Emissions 

Trading Scheme, 

‘‘seen (by the Government), 

in this issue at 

least, it would be better to 

work with farmers than 

against them’’. 

He acknowledged the 

worldclasseffortsofNew 

Zealand farmers already 

in place and spoke of the 

Government needing 

‘‘perspective’’ about 

where New Zealand falls 

on aglobalscale. 

The elephant in the 

room was the freshwater 

plan saved until last 

which among other things 

lacked social and 

economic analysis. 

His words opened abig 

response from the crowd, 

including Mr Clark, an 

arable farmer, who shared 

detailed effects the proposed 

freshwater plan 

would have on his farm 

operation. It was acomparativeanalysis 

based on 

areportdone by Environment 

Canterbury’s head 

scientist Dr Tim Davie in 

2017, using similar cutbacks 

for the Waihora 

Selwyn Zone. 

‘‘We run areasonably 

atypical irrigated, arable 

system much like any 

other in this district,’’ he 

said. 

‘‘And we budgeted, 

based on going back to 

dryland breeding ewes, 

which coincidentally was 

the farming system that 

was on the farm when we 

came to this district in 

1994, so it’s a relatively 

easy process of lifting out 

the 1994 budgets and 

annual accounts, and 

changing them to today’s 

values.’’ 

It was based on 3,000 

ewes and 50 hectares of 

dryland crop. 

‘‘Our crop income 

would reduce by 92 

percent. Our sheep gross 

income would reduce by 

62 percent. Our lamb 

purchases would reduce 

Studies outline cost to farming, economy 

Economic modelling by 

DairyNZ shows the proposed 

Essential Freshwater 

package could significantly 

harm New 

Zealand’s dairy sector 

and the wider national 

economy. 

Following the government’s 

September 

release of proposed 

freshwater regulations, 

DairyNZ initiated three 

studies into the potential 

economic effects of the 

Essential Freshwater 

proposals. Two of these 

economic studies were 

independent and all three 

have been peerreviewed. 

The economic studies 

are supported by additional 

technical research 

by DairyNZ which analyses 

the likely water quality 

improvements. 

DairyNZ chief executive, 

Dr Tim Mackle said 

economic modelling 

showed the proposed 

Essential Freshwater policy 

package was one of 

the largest economic 

challenges posed to the 

dairy sector in ageneration. 

‘‘It’s full effect could 

lead to afall in our GDP 

of $6 billion by 2050, 

without even adding 

additional costs related 

to climate change,’’ he 

said. 

‘‘But what is really 

crucial is that we believe 

other options are available 

to improve and 

strengthen the protection 

of ecosystem health.‘‘ 

DairyNZ have outlined 

those options in their 

submission to government 

on the proposals. 

‘‘The proposed freshwater 

changes would 

result in significant 

declines in milk production 

and is therefore a 

serious threat to the 

international competitiveness 

of New 

Zealand’s dairy sector. 

‘‘However, water quality 

and emissions gains can 

still be made with less 

stringent reforms, at a 

lesser cost to the New 

Zealand economy. Farmers 

care deeply about 

the environment and 

have been doing their bit 

to protect the environment 

and our waterways 

for some time,’’ said Dr 

Mackle. 

‘‘Farmers are absolutely 

on board with continuing 

toplay their part 

in improving our waterways, 

however stringent 

changes cannot be at the 

detriment of farming’s 

future and the communities 

they support. 

‘‘We need to approach 

this carefully, balancing 

environment and economy 

we can achieve 

both goals by working 

closely together on this 

by 99 percent, sothat’s a 

direct impact on store 

lamb farmers. Our sheep 

net income would reduce 

by 28 percent. Our 

expenditure on our business 

woulddecrease by 70 

percent, sothat’s adirect 

impact on any businesses 

(we use). Our earnings 

before interest in tax will 

decrease by 68 percent. 

Our capital reinvestment 

will decrease by 74 

percent. Our net profit 


percent. And our tax paid 


percent.’’ 

Mr Clark questioned 

how any government 

could suggest aplan that 

resulted in ‘‘such 

economic vandalism’’. 

issue.’’ 

‘‘The economic analysis 

shows potential significant 

impact. By 2050, 

total milk production is 

forecast to fall by 24 

percent and all national 

exports by 5.2 percent or 

$8.1 billion.’’ 

Tax revenuefrom dairy 

is also forecast to more 

than halve by 2050, with 

an annual loss of $0.54 

billion at the national 

level.
