Guitars strike

chord with

maestro Mac

By Mick Jensen

Methven’s Mac McElwain started

playing and collecting guitars decades

ago, but these days, in retirement, he

also makes them from scratch.

Aself taught luthier, the 73yearold

handcrafts guitars and has made

around 20over the last six years.

Guitar making isboth ahobby and

passion for Mac, who was astrategist

and advertising executive for over

four decades.

His guitars are crafted using New

Zealand native wood like rimu and

kauri.

Softer woods were typically used

for the top and helped with vibration,

while harder woods were used for the

sides, said Mr McElwain.

‘‘Rimu, as aharder wood, gives a

bright, tinkly sound, whereas kauri

helps make awarmer, more mellow

sound.’’

Mr McElwain said growing up he

had been inspired by the likes of top

guitarist Hank Marvin and Beatles

John Lennon and George Harrison.

‘‘I’ve always twiddled with my

guitar and enjoyed finger style folk,

blues and ragtime music, but I’ve

never been agreat singer.

‘‘It wasn’t until we were packing up

ONLY2LEFT

to move house from Ohoka a few

years ago that Ibrought all my guitars

together in one place and my wife

discovered Ihad 17 of them.’’

He and wife Pat made the move to

Methven three years ago.

They had earlier owned Blackford

Station in the Rakaia Gorge and

decided Methven was the right place

to settle inretirement.

Alarge studio at his Methven home

set up by previous owner, artist Karen

Smith, is now his workshop. It is

methodically laid out and spotless.

It was when contemplating retirement

and attending an executive

coaching workshop that Mr McElwain

foundhimself making acommitment

and having to follow through

with it.

His commitment was to play an

original composition on an instrument

that he would build for himself.

The journey of learning the skills of

aluthier took him online for tutorials

on You Tube.

He asked questions and picked up

tips on specialist discussion platforms

like frets.net and honed his skills and

techniques through trial and error in

his workshop.

‘‘I’m acreative guy by nature and I

Luthier Mac McElwain in his workshop and with the first guitar he built from scratch.

work things out for myself, but the

first time Iput aguitar together Iwas

petrified itwasn’t going to work or

sound good.

‘‘It might have looked good from

the outside, but that didn’t guarantee

it would sound great.’’

The guitar was beyond his wildest

dreams, he said.

‘‘It was an emotional moment and

I’m not embarrassed to say, the tears

flowed.’’

The sameemotions came out when

visiting family in England and when

an accomplished player picked up and

played one of his guitars infront of

him.

That sameplayer promptlyordered

Jo

aguitar and will pick itupinperson

soon.

Mr McElwain’s guitars are usually

flattop six strings with either steel or

nylon strings.

Jigs are used for bending the

1.8mm thick side pieces. Bending

makes them stronger, he says.

Signs of earlier times

Geraldine history told

History is writ large on

Geraldine’s streets and

corners.

Large signs have been

erected by the Geraldine

Lioness Club on McKechnie’s

Cottage in Wilson

Street, on afire bell in a

reserve at the north end

of town, on astone plinth

near anew picnic area,

and on the Mundells

Building.

The signs outline the

history of the sites/buildings,

and give visitors

and residents aninsight

into the history of the

town.

McKechnie’s Cottage,

for instance, was built in

1873 by Hugh Morrison.

It is one of Geraldine’s

oldest buildings, and

built using lath and plaster.

A small outhouse is

still in the back yard

though aflush toilet was

put in in the 1960s.

From 1896 to 1902 the

house was John Boughton’s

tailor’s shop now it

is an art gallery adjoining

the Cottage Pantry drygoods

and gift shop.

It was bought by Douglas

McKechnie in 1941.

He lived in it for 47 years.

The rear of the shop was

his office.

Mr McKechnie was a

journalist who worked

for the Timaru Herald

and The Press.

In 1939 he was elected

mayor and held office for

10 years.

The building has a

Category B historic

building listing.

Geraldine has two historic

fire bells.

The one in the reserve

was at the original fire

station, then moved to

the corner of Pine and

Jollie streets in 1921.

Those streets were

realigned in 2005 and the

bell was moved to its

present site to preserve

it.

In 1889, after several

fires in the district, it was

decided Geraldine

needed an alarm.

Abrigade was formed

and 15 men nominated as

members.

An engine room and

station were built opposite

the present station

and a horsedrawn

16man manual pump

and handtowed hose

reel bought.

They are now at the

Geraldine Vintage Car

and Machinery Museum.

The fire bells, weighing

150lbs each, cost 13

pounds four shillings.

The second bell is in its

original position on the

corner of Talbot and Maslin

streets.

In 1893, the station bell

was rung so vigorously that

after three rings the rope

broke and someone had to

climb the structure to ring

the bell with the clapper.

Keeping Ashburton smiling – Joanne Lee Oral Health Therapist

As an oral health therapist

focusing on early

prevention and treatment

of oral diseases, my work

occasionally takes me beyond

the dental practice.

Being aboard member for

HYPE Youth Health Centre

has given me the exciting

opportunity of promoting

good oral health among

young people in Mid

Canterbury. From July to

August 2019, Iteamed up with

Sheree Kershaw, the lovely

coordinator from HYPE, to

deliver aseries of classes

at Ashburton College for all

Year 9students. The aim of

our project was to educate

students on oral health issues

and encourage them to enrol

with adentist.

While children at primary

and intermediate schools

receive free dental care from

Community Dental Services,

teenagers entering Year 9

have to first enrol with their

family dentist. Unfortunately,

Ministry of Health data

reported only half of the

students at Ashburton College

have signed upwith adental

practice, and from that

number, only half are actually

utilising the service. Infact, it

seems like many teenagers

are not aware of this free

health care service at all!

Therefore, our classes

discussed why oral health

is important, signs and

symptoms of tooth decay and

gum disease, how to identify

and prevent bad breath, and

the effects of sugar, drugs

and alcohol on teeth. All

students had agoat brushing

and flossing on tooth models,

and afew brave ones from

each class volunteered to

have their teeth painted with

plaque-disclosing gel, which

showed plaque-filled areas on

their teeth that were missed

when brushing or flossing.

The highlight was definitely

the way everyone’s faces lit

up at the sight of free Colgate

products sponsored by HYPE.

Despite being an integral part

of health, having ahealthy

mouth is something that can

be easily side-lined. If left

unchecked in ayoung person,

dental issues can cause

irreversible damage, their

appearance, self-confidence,

and their ability to speak,

chew and digest food will

all be negatively affected.

Adolescents who are having

orthodontic treatment still

need to have regular dental

check-ups. Dental care can

also take abig financial toll

on ayoung adult fresh out of

school.

Ibelieve our little outreach

programme has benefited

many young people at

Ashburton College, aswe

noticed asharp increase

in enrolments among Year

9students at Dentistry on

Joanne

Parkside during and after the

project.

It is rewarding to know many

have come away from this

with lifelong skills that they

can carry into adulthood,

and that young people feel

empowered in investing in a

healthy smile.

Toddler gettogethers a

boon for young and old

TELLUS

what you think!

Regular toddler gatherings

at aged care facility

Radius Millstream are

proving a winner for

young and old.

Babies and other preschoolers

attend fortnightly

themed play sessions

in the resident’s

lounge.

Residents can either

watch or join in with

activities that include

music and parachute sessions,

teddy bear picnics

and a recent halloween

themed gathering.

Future sessions will

use playdough, bubbles

and water to focus on

Mid Canterbury Plunket

community support

coordinator Sueann

Carr, who helps run the

sessions with Radius

Millstream, said the

intergenerational get

togethers were positive

for everyone involved.

‘‘Not everyone has

grandparents nearby,

and not all grandparents

have grandchildren, so it

brings vastly differing age

groups together.’’

Play visits ran from

10.30am until 11.30am,

were held on the first and

third Fridays of each

month and were not

restricted to Plunket

babies.

lined up on December 20.

David’s pretty garden

open as afundraiser

By Mick Jensen

David Ford is inviting

the community to take a

walk around his impressive

Tinwald garden and

any donations will be

passed tothe Mid Canterbury

Cancer Society.

The 87yearold lovingly

tends his garden,

which is named Jeanette’s

Memorial Garden

after his late wife, who

died three years ago.

Beautiful peonies are

prominent in the wraparound

garden and come

in a variety of vibrant

colours.

There are also azaleas,

camellias, three roses

and rhododendrons.

The garden includes a

puya, blue poppies, yellow

and pink magnolias,

awisteria arch and many

other shrubs and small

trees.

The lawns are cut

regularly by Mr Ford’s

neighbour, but he weeds,

watersand trimsthe sizeable

plot himself.

‘‘When my wife was

around, gardening was

always ajoint effort. We

both did whatever

needed doing, but Iwas

always the one for the

lawns.’’

Mr Ford said the

couple had moved to

Ashburton from Southbridge

10 years ago

because the town ‘‘had

all the services and was a

good place toretire to’’.

Senior Students’NCEA Exams

With our senior studentshaving finished classes for

the year, and now underway with their NCEA exam

schedule,AshburtonCollegeisunusually quiet.

While we still have 500 plus students in Years 9and

10 it does feel unusual to have so few students on

campus.

Senior Graduation and Prize-givings

My thankstoall thosewho attended our Year 11 and 12 Prize-givings and

Year 13 Graduation Awards Ceremony. These are always fantastic events

and it is particularly rewarding for staff of these senior students as we

reflect on theamountofgrowth and steps thatmanyofour young people

have taken. It is the combination of staff input,and wisdom and support

from parents and caregivers,that hascreatedthese awardwinners.

LiveStreaming

For the first time this year we had alive stream of the Year 11 event

projecting into H10 (the large music room). This enabled all attendees to

view the event, which is asolution to our increasing overflow atCollege

Prize-givings, given our Auditorium seats amaximum of 340. Due tothe

increasing popularity ofthese events wewill also live stream our Year 9

and 10 prize-givings into the music rooms to enable more whānau and

supporters to see the events.

recognise when well-being is low, to help others, keep themselves and

friends safe, and having the knowledge to know where togowhen help

is needed.

The YMCA islooking forward tocontinuing to work within Ashburton

College and Mid Canterbury schools, saying they are seeing positive

changes through the years. They arealso working towardsaroll-out of the

forefront ofour mind. Pride in the perseverance and skill development of

the artstudents at AshColl’.

Celebrations of Success

On theevening of Thursday31October it wasthe College’s pleasureto

honour student commitment, achievement and success at the Year 13

Graduation Ceremony, held at the AshburtonTrust EventCentre.

In next week’s newsletter we will outline student successes from the

Year 11 Prize-Giving, held on the evening of Tuesday 05November, also in

the College Auditorium.

At all of these occasions we recognise the amazing talents amongst our

student body, the commitment ofthese students to developing their skills

and capabilities,and the supportgiven to students by families and staff.

Year 13 Graduation Ceremony

As adults,weare in aweofwhatmanyofour students achieveand the levels

of talentexhibited,and this year wasnoexception. Theaudience, staff and

students were treated toawonderful evening of entertainment, speeches

and celebration.

Superbmusical contributions were made by the AshburtonCollege Blues

Band (Processional, Recessional and Performance of‘Fly Me To The Sun’);

Barbara Nabeka who led the singing of the National Anthem so ably; and

Middle Road Band’s twoperformances (‘Fireand Smoke’ and ‘Neon Lights’).

(Pictured above, lefttoright): Middle Road Band –Liam Pram, Jade Kruger,

Toby Woolf and Louie Pabualan.

Head Girl and Head Boy Mollie Gibson and William Wallis spoke of the

2019 year.

Mollie suggested if students coming through don’t know whatthey want to

do yet, don’t worryand enjoytheir subjects,saying thatdecisions on futures

don’t happen overnight.

She noted, for Year 13 students,

this was their last time in College

uniforms but also acknowledged

it was‘sad to go’and that, although

it was normal to be nervous of the

next steps, they were resilient and

would approach their futures with

excitementalso.

Congratulations were given tothe

night’s awardees as well as ahuge

thank you to parents and staff

behind students, helping them to

get where they are now. She said

awards would not be possible without thatsupportand assistance.

Mollie thanked all for making school ‘more fun than it should be’, the

studentleaders who had become friends,and noted it to be areal privilege

and honour to have worked with senior staff leaders.

Mollie thanked all forbeing partofanexcitingyear.

William talked about school being

able to be appreciated for the rest

of their lives; whether heading to

university, apprenticeships, travel

or work. Heencouraged students

to follow their passions, enjoy the

journey, and referenced the game

of six squares playedatYear 9level,

and which he chose to ask to join

in with.

By having the motivation to

‘own’ his own square herealised

the benefits of having agoal to

strive for, citing boredom as an

individual’s worst enemy. In six square the ball bounces randomly, like life

–reminding of deadlines, activities, reasons and opportunities to interact

with others,and much else.

William encouraged students not to be afraid to ask to join in, whether it’s

six squares or another activity, saying it will lead to other things.

He cited the year as having unforgettable experiences,encouraged students

not to be afraid to ask,and he hoped thatthey would meet as good ateam

as he had.

Guest Speaker -Shaun Clark

It wasour pleasuretointroduce

former AshburtonCollege

studentand Ashburton

returnee Shaun Clark, Principal

Physiotherapist and Practice

DirectorofPhysioSteps

Ashburton, to speak at this

evening.

Noting it wasjust over tenyears

sincehehad attended his own

Year 13 Graduation Ceremony,

Shaun had some valuable

thoughts to shareonmaking one’s wayinlife, post-secondaryschool.

Students would have leftthe evening knowing they were capable of‘making

their own luck’and, whether feeling confident ornot, they should throw

themselves in the deep end when achance isoffered. Shaun emphasised

the satisfaction gained from being challenged and recommended students

believe inthemselves and don’t hold back. Advice was‘not to wait until

everything is perfect,just give it ago’ but, equally,put in the time and effort

to perform well.

Shaun also shared some of his experiences after completing training at

Otago University, and the opportunities he took which led to working with

athletes at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, and the World

Rugby Sevens Tournament, while living and working on the Gold Coast.

These amazing experiences came about by saying ‘yes’toopportunities,as

did involvementwith athletes in other sports.

Shaun’s words were very well-received and certainly contained some

thoughts for all in the audience

to take forward and use, showing

realistic self-confidence, and

being willing to take a chance

on being taken outside of one’s

comfortzone.

SaintKentigern’sand St. Cuthbert’sColleges in Auckland.Healso performs

regularly with TheUniversityofAuckland and Voices New Zealand Chamber

Choirs, and works asalocum junior doctor during spare weekends and

Universityholidays.

In outlininghis pathwaysinceleaving Collegeand describing a‘double life’

of medicine and music, Jared’s presentation wasn’t at all directivebut it did

engender some thought options which students might want toconsider

when evaluating their post-secondaryschooldirections.

Always passionate about music, Jared, when leaving College, weighed up

between the ‘sensible’option of an established career, and the seemingly

less secure option of following his love of music.Hedid notehewished he

had taken Biology in Year 13, premedical studies! Whilst not deterring any

students from considering afuture career in medicine he did outline the

challenging realities, hours, pay and conditions of young doctors’working

days.

Enjoyedwashis insistencethat, despiteinvolvement with Auckland Choirs,

he ‘went’ toAuckland but should not be classified as‘living’ inAuckland,

with all due respecttoour northerncityinhabitants!

Most importantly,the audienceheardabout the value of beinghappywith

acareer choice, understanding if that option is not fulfilling and ‘not you’

then it is alright tomake achange. People don’t have to ‘be stuck’inone

job forever, or they can followmorethan one path simultaneously and keep

options open. For Jared, music formed part ofhis study life and, now, by

having completed his medical degree before making acareer change he

still has the opportunityto combine bothbybeing able to undertake locum

work during weekends and school student holiday times –described as

being in his ‘spare’ time!

Plenty of challenges in ‘top farm’

Rakaia farm owners

Enda and Sarah Hawe, of

Emerald Pastures Ltd,

with Jason Palmer and

Andrew Livingston, have

taken out the title in the

Ruralco Meridian Top

Farm Competition.

The event, hosted by

Ruralco, saw teams of

four complete challenges

such as the memory

game ‘‘perfect pairs’’,

geography puzzles with

anagrams, word finds, an

egg drop (where teams

designed and built a

structure with limited

resources to successfully

catch an egg), an accuracy

sling and a sports

relay.

It was held at the

Ashburton A&P Showgrounds

on Saturday.

As part of their prize

the team has donated

$1000 to Canterbury

West Coast Air Rescue.

Mr Hawe said it was

always awesome to participate

but it was even

more special to come

away with awin.

‘‘Thank you to Ruralco

Mrs Apii said.

The winners won

and to spread positive

messages in the workplace.

A touring group of

motorcyclists supporting

Aday to remember the sacrifice

Around 40 people

gathered for the

Armistice Day service at

the Ashburton Cenotaph

on Monday to remember

the fallen of past wars,

among them veterans

and returned service

personal.

The service, which

marks the signing of the

treaty in 1918 that saw

the end of World War I,

was held in bitterly cold,

wet conditions and

started as the Ashburton

town clock struck 11am.

It was led by

Ashburton RSA

president Merv Brenton,

with fellow speakers

Ashburton deputy mayor

Liz McMillan and

Salvation Army captain

John Stone supported by

cornet player Jim

Lischner (Last Post and

Ode of the Revelry) and

the Ashburton Cadet

Unit.

Mr Brenton

apologised for the

weather but noted ‘‘this is

nothing to what was

experienced all those

years ago’’.

‘‘101 years ago today

the guns fell silent and

war ended in what for

most, was atime of huge

relief, atime to celebrate

the knowledge that loved

ones would be returning

home.

‘‘Today we need to

reflect on the effects of

wars, how it affects so

many lives, their families

and the knowledge that

success in war always

delivers casualties and

hidden costs many left

with physical scars, many

with hidden mental scars.

‘‘Today it is the human

lives sacrificed and those

Atime to reflect: Peter and Gwenda Ireland at the service.

suffering from the

traumas of war that we

need to remember.’’

Mr Brenton said greed

was behind most war

events and modern

technology brought it

into our homes in more

vivid detail than ever

before.

‘‘We can’t live in the

past, that’s gone, but we

can learn from their past

and their mistakes, the

effects and the need to

protect what we believe is

rightfully ours. We can

do it in adiplomatic, nonconfrontational

manner,

by getting on with

neighbours by treating

people and property with

respect, what we have

now came and continues

to come at ahuge cost,

something we don’t want

to go through again and

again, and something

that appears on the

surface to be forgotten by

many.

‘‘To all the men and

women who went to war a

century ago, those that

have been involved in

recent conflicts, those

that stayed and keep our

great country safe for us,

and defending our place

in paradise,

thank you so much. We

will never forget.’’

Quality and service to smile about

WHO AM I?

My name is Rafik Hanna and I

own Life Dental.

Life Dental is adenture clinic that

seeks to make patients smile by

giving them dentures that look great

and function well.

‘‘We simply like helping people

enjoy life through the best way we

know how by making them

dentures.’’

I have been told that I make

patients also smile from cracking the

occasional joke, but in my experience,

the jokes have often been a

miss, not ahit, but Istill try.

WHY CHOOSE US?

Dentures are aprosthetic, and like

all prosthetics, there can be particular

challenges with wearing them.

Why choose us?

Because my colleague Salah

Ragab and Iwork relentlessly to limit

or even eliminate those challenges.

Quality is our goal, drive and motto.

We simply like helping people

enjoy life through the best way we

know how by making them dentures.

I have been a clinical dental

technologist for 12 years in Timaru,

and Ihave enjoyed treating patients

from Christchurch all the way to

Oamaru.

People who come see us are

patients, not customers.

It’s our moral and ethical obligation

to do everything possible to

help them.

It’s sad when we hear that some

patients have been dealing with

denture trouble for along time, to

the point of even not wearing them.

Some patients get put off seeing

another clinician because they had a

bad experience in the past.

We have some good news.

NOT ALL dentures are made the

same, due to the fact different people

make them.

We can help you, and we want to

help you.

HOW TO CONTACT US

We are very casual in our clinic.

You can just walk in and have a

chat or give us acall.

If you like to see what our cases

look like, jump on our website at

www.lifedental.co.nz.

SHOW ME SOME DEALS

We are introducing a 5%

SuperGold Card discount and an

extra 5% discount for outer district

areas (Oamaru, Waimate, Tekapo,

Twizel, Ashburton), to recognise the

extra costs involved in travelling to

Timaru for appointments.

We can also offer up to 18 months

interestfree flexible payment

options with QCard, and up to a

year’s free aftercare.

THAT’S NOT ALL WE DO

As well as making full and partial

dentures, we make sports mouthguards

that stick in your mouth and

are durable, and bite splints to

protect your teeth from grinding.

We can also brighten up those

pearls through teeth whitening.

Woodbury on awinner

Woodbury School has

done it again.

The group that created

the Geraldine tea towel

and apron to be marketed

to the passing tourist

trade and then grew

potatoes in the school

paddock to fund abike

track on the same piece

of ground, has now

created the Geraldine reusable

bag, made from

sustainably sourced

hemp.

Woodbury School

Support Group chair

Jane Rob said that the

group had been looking

to extend its range of

Geraldinebranded products

for some time and

with the removal of single

use plastics bags from

the retail industry, it

made sense to look to

that area for their next

venture.

Mrs Robb said sustainability

has been a hot

topic this year at the

school with the children

investigating what it

means and how to act

sustainably.

“The senior children

had guest speakers visit

to talk about sustainability

and did projects. All

the parents fielded many

questions on the topic as

our kids learned more

and it became our

inspiration to choose a

product that would make

us, and the children,

proud and fit with the

aim to be good environmental

citizens.”

Mrs Robb says they

sourced the bags from

NZbagit who produce

stylish and compact bags

from 100% sustainable

hemp, a renewable

resource and free from

toxic dyes and additives.

The bags can be machine

washed and are durable.

The bags will be

emblazoned with the

highly popular Geraldine

place name design that

graces both the Geraldine

tea towel and apron.

It will be on sale around

town at selected retailers

for $15, making it aperfect

gift for Christmas or

addition to the handbag,

car glove box and so on.

Stockists around

Geraldine include the Cottage

Pantry and Gallery,

The Kitchen Cupboard

and Forget Me Not (formerly

Just One Wish).

Geraldine.

Gorge bridge has astory to tell

The cold, clear waters of

the glacierfed Rakaia

River flow through

impressive high terraces

and under the Rakaia

Gorge bridge before

heading across the

Canterbury Plains and

ultimately into the

Pacific Ocean.

At this time of the

year, the snow capped

peaks to the west provide

an impressive white

backdrop.

Many vantage points,

at both river and bridge

level, offer impressive

views of the power of the

river, its changing colour

and its majestic setting.

Amemorial plaque

above the river at the

Rakaia Gorge bridge

tells visitors that in the

days of the early settlers,

John Bryan transported

passengers, stock and

freight over the river on a

punt.

He and his wife also

ran an accommodation

house nearby.

The original iron

bridge at the gorge was

built in 1885 and a

wooden bridge, erected

over the southern

channel in 1884, was

replaced in 1945 by a

concrete structure.

Last year around $1.2

million was spent on deck

replacement on the

main, single lane iron

bridge, referred to as the

No.1 bridge.

As well as replacing

the deck, the work

included refurbishing

handrails and

strengthened structural

elements and took

around four months to

complete.

Taking care of

the environment

Here in New Zealand

we’re rightly proud of

our natural environment.

It may not feel like it

sometimes, but that feeling

flows through to our

politics and our politicians.

Every party in our

Parliament recognises

the need to mitigate the

effect that people have

on our environment,

including the challenge

of climate change.

Although it’s accepted

that New Zealand’s contribution

to global emissions

is small –ataround

0.2 per cent – it’s also

true, due to the amount

of food we produce for

the rest of the world, our

emissions are higher per

person than most countries.

That small footprint

means we can’t simply go

it alone and expect to

change the world’s climate,

it’s aglobal issue that

requires a global

response.

In 2016 the Paris

Agreement was signed,

with 187 nations now

being party to it.

It sets out emissions

limits which we in New

Zealand, and other countries

around the world,

MP Andrew Falloon comments

are required to commit

to.

It was signed by a

National Government,

making clear that as

much as possible, climate

change policy should be

bipartisan, to give our

farmers, businesses and

families certainty over

what future regulation

and legislation will look

like.

That’s been achieved

in part last week, with the

passage of the Zero Carbon

Bill.

It’s the culmination of

two years of work by

Parliamentarians of all

political stripes. Climate

Change Minister James

Shaw has accepted that

challenge of bipartisanship

and agreed to an

independent climate

change commission making

recommendations to

Government on reducing

emissions.

It’s for that reason we

last week voted for the

final stage of the legislation.

We don’t, however,

agree to the entire

framework that the commission

will operate

within, and we’ve committed

to making seven

changes should we earn

the right to form Government

next year.

The changes we have

proposed, and drafted to

be enacted in our first 100

days, ensure that the commission

can consider the

actions other nations are

making to combat climate

change.

The changes would

allow the commission to

set the target for methane

emissions based on the

best available technology

and research, ensuring

that we don’t bind ourselves

to targets that can

only be met by widespread

culling.

And importantly, they

include the stated aim of

the Paris Agreement –that

greenhouse gas reduction

be done in away that does

not threaten food production

or grow global

poverty.

They’re sensible

changes which will ensure

a lasting response to the

challenge of climate

change, but importantly,

without putting in perilthe

lives of those most at risk.

Grant Hood Contracting

wins civil award again


has won the Civil

Contractors New Zealand

2019 Canterbury

Contractor of the Year

Most Progressive Company

Award.

It is the second time

the Ashburtonbased

company has taken out

the title; the last time in

2017, and reinforced it

could compete on the

national stage against

bigger tierone companies.

Owner Grant Hood is

very proud of his team’s

efforts during the year,

and especially proud of

the earthworks project

completed at Millbrook

Resort, in Queenstown.

‘‘It was some of the

best work done,’’ he

said.

The project was at

Dalgliesh Farm in the

Millbrook Resort,

Queenstown, involved

reshaping farmland into

46 lifestyle blocks, with a

ninehole golf course

and 30,000cubic metre

irrigation pond. It was

completed in eight

months working in a

pristine, tourism district

where the team of 30

were monitored constantly

on any settlement

issues.

Mr Hood said there

were no penalties, which

could have resulted in

significant fines.

The contracting company

has had anumber

of other projects on the

go around the South

Island in the past 12

months, including wet

work for the Marlborough

District Council

(futureproofing

Caseys Creek, which

runs alongside Old Renwick

Road by clearing,

enlarging and protecting

the waterway) and a

technical landfill

development for Grey

District Council (at

McLeans Pit).

But it was the

Queenstown project

which won them 2019

Canterbury Contractor

of the Year Award in the

Fulton Hogan

Phastiphalt Category C

Contracts ($1.5m $5m)

Award and the two

council projects, which

were entered in the Category

B ($500,000

$1.5m) awards, which

contributed to their

overall win as most progressive

company.


Ltd’s Michael

Chivers said to win the

Category Ccontractor of

the year award twice,

especially under stricter

environmental regulations,

was agreat achievement.

‘‘It shows the high

calibre of the work (being

done), and how much we

have grown.’’

Art in garden setting

Budding young Jub Jub

artists took to the outdoors

this week to gain

some inspiration from

mother nature.

The artists, all aged

under 13 and members of

the Ashburton Art Gallery

Jub Jub programme,

roamed Trott’s Garden

on Racecourse Road,

early on Sunday afternoon

to find subjects of

appeal to sketch, with a

view to creating an art

piece in paint.

Iona Rogers, 8, was

among the group, who

along with their parents,

were venturing around

the grounds.

She has been attending

the regular art sessions,

held every second

Sunday at the Art Gallery,

for the past three

years.

Iona initially did not

think she was going to be

very inspired by agarden

as she likes to draw

animals.

But she soon found

plants, statues and bird

life which appealed and,

in ashort time, her blank

A4 sheet of paper was

covered with sketches of

images from around the

garden.

She even collected a

white dove feather to

take home as atreasure.

Her sketches and

those of others, along

with photographs taken

by Jub Jub public programmes

coordinator

Simone Barnsdale, were

then used as prompts for

their painting work back

at the art gallery that

same afternoon.

The finished pieces

will be displayed in the

garden during the Trott’s

Garden open day event on

November 24. It runs from

11am to 4pm.

Mazda3 is one very fine vehicle

By Ross Kiddie

It’s too early to be talking

about the 2019 New

Zealand Motoring

Writers’ Guild Car of the

Year award, the

nominations have only

just been released and

judging won’t be

complete until

December.

However, I’m pleased

to say the new Mazda3 is

on the list of finalists. I

say this because the latest

generation model has

made quite an impact on

me, it is one very fine

vehicle.

Effectively, I’ve driven

three models backtoback,

two hatches and a

sedan, and each stands

out as being competent,

quality built, efficient

and purposeful, what’s

more it’s such adarn nice

I’ve mentioned many

times in these columns

how I’m very much a

although I’ve owned

hatches and liftbacks

over the years, I’m always

drawn to the traditional

concept.

funds to buy new in

settle for the entry level

GSX at $36,595, but the

evaluation car –a

Limited at $48,795 –isa

model which borders on

the luxury car class for

just afraction of the cost.

As opposed to the

GSX with its 2litre

engine, the GTX and

Limited both get a

2.5litre fourcylinder

engine. Each has its

merits, and both deliver

outstanding

performance. The 2.5 is

rated at 139kW and

252Nm, although the

outputs are reached a

little tall in the rev band

at 6000rpm and

4000rpm respectively,

the management

protocols are structured

so that effective torque is

spread broadly.

Drive is carried to the

front wheels through a

traditional sixspeed

automatic transmission.

In limited form the driver

has the use of paddle

shifters should he or she

want to get involved in

the gearchange process.

Safe summer motoring

still, suffers a

mechanical failure that

might put you, your

passengers or even

other road users at risk.

While modern cars

are usually

exceptionally reliable,

they won’t stay that way

on their own. As with

any piece of equipment

or machinery, maintain

and care for your

vehicle and it will

generally return the

favour. And, like any

mechanical device, it’s

most likely to fail when

it’s highly stressed. The

Motor Trade

Association (MTA)

says there are lots of

things owners can do to

reduce the chances of

being let down by your

car this summer.

Shifts are smooth and

satisfactorily quick, the

engine has no trouble

filling the gaps between

gears but with six cogs

the ratios are quite close,

so there are no surprises

there.

The gearing is also

structured so that the

engine isn’t loaded at

highway speed, at 100km/

hitisturning over at just

1900rpm, quite relaxed

and sipping fuel at the

instantaneous rate of

5.5litres per 100km

(51mpg). That

contributes to the

efficient 7.6l/100km

(37mpg) dash panel

average during my time

with the evaluation car.

Mazda claims a

combined cycle average

of 6.5l/100km (44mpg),

which correlates well

Vehicle failure or

problems often come

when avehicle is under

stress. In summer that

usually revolves around

heat either as aresult

of high ambient

temperatures, aheavily

loaded vehicle or stopstart

driving when

stuck in aqueue. Not

surprisingly, summer

with my figures.

In terms of figures, the

new 3also has agood

turn of speed, it’s no

rocket, but with an 8.8sec

time to make 100km/h

from astandstill, it easily

keeps pace with traffic

and disgraces cars with a

So, when you head out

for your few days away

this summer, make sure

that your vehicle is fully

prepared for those

warmer temperatures.

Some simple steps can

help save you time,

money and headaches

during your trip:

Consider apretrip

inspection by an MTA

technician; repairs can

be more costly on the

road. Ask them to check

things like the air

conditioning, cooling

system, drive belts, hoses

and clamps, brakes,

along with the

fundamentals like fluids,

oil and water.

High temperatures

can be hard on your

Check the condition

and air pressure in all

tyres, including the

spare, to make sure they

are roadworthy.

Remember, heat is a

tyre’s biggest enemy.

Replace ragged

wiper blades, and make

sure the wash reservoir

tank is full and you’ve

added proper cleaning

agents not dishwashing

Farm biosecurity discussed

at Wakanui farm meeting

It’s just amatter of time, if not mere weeks, before

there will be a nationwide regulation push for

stricter onfarm biosecurity and one way for farm

operations tobetter protect themselves is to start

with aplan.

It was the topic for discussion at the recent

Foundation for Arable Research meeting, attended

by around35people, on the property of Maxine and

Eric Watson, at Wakanui, near Ashburton.

FAR’s environment research manager Abie

Horrocks saidthere were at least four risk areas for

concern when it came tofarm biosecurity; visitors

to the property who all have the potential tobring

biosecurity risks such as weed seeds, pathogensand

pests on farm; machinery on and off the property

also able to carry the same biosecurity risks;

animals being transported onand off farm; and

seed and plant material.

Biosecurity was identified as being more and

more important but it meant giving it some

thought, putting it in aplan and into action, she

said.

She wentover thearable biosecurity riskregister

developed byFAR staff for farm owners touse.

It gets farm owners to think about their current

biosecurity practice, including on farm signage and

protocols such as confining vehicles movements to

farm tracks where practicable, asking for verification

of plant healthcertificatesfor imported seed

lines, providing adequate clean down facilities for

visitors to use to maintain good practice and

ensuring those visitors have protocols inplace to

identify or track vehicle movements (from farm to

farm), especially useful incase of incursion.

There isalso provision toinclude how to deal

with any possible incursions andto talk about those

biosecurity issues such as herbicide resistance or

contractor experiences with neighbours.

She said good biosecurity practice was about

identifying risks and managing those risks.

‘‘It’s one of those things that makes absolute,

positive sense,’’ said FAR communication manager

Anna Heslop.

Thebiosecurityrisk register template is available

for any one to access via the FAR website at

www.far.org.nz

Rakaia Lions

The Lions Club of

Rakaia held their annual

fireworks night on Saturday

2nd November at the

Rakaia Domain.

People began to arrive

around 5.30pm setting up

vantage points around

the domain.

The weather was great

and as the evening went

on there was a good

crowd. How many Iam

not sure, too many to

count.

While everyone waited

for darkness to arrive

The Toy Library kept the

small ones entertained

with three bouncy castles.

The bigger ones were

entertained with live

music from Kopy Kats.

While the Rakaia

School made sure the

kids would be ready when

it got dark with the selling

of glow sticks.

There was food aplenty

from the Lions Food

caravan, coffee from the

coffee man and icecream

from Mr Kool.

The Rakaia Fire Brigade

ignited the bon fire

just before dark and soon

after that we were treated

with a great display of

fireworks.

Thanks to Fireworks

Professionals Ltd.

The night concluded

with a couple of tunes

from the Kopy Kats and

then everyone disappeared

into the darkness.

The Lions Club of

Rakaia would like to

thank everyone who

attended and hope you

South Island buildings among winners

A South Island based architect and

many South Island buildings featured

in the New Zealand Architecture

Awards ataceremony in Queenstown

at the weekend, among them Turanga,

in Christchurch,and ahall, in Leeston.

The Lakeside Soldiers Memorial

Hall in Leeston, designed by Architecture

Workshop, and the central Christchurch

library Turanga, from Architectus

and Schmidt Hammer Lassen

Architects, won Public Architecture

awards.

And Wanakabased architect, Anne

Salmond, was named one of three

distinguished fellow of the New Zealand

Institute of Architecture.

The Lindis Lodge, a small luxury

lodge in the Ahuriri Valley designedby

Architecture Workshop, was the winner

in the hospitality category at the

institute’s annual national awards ceremony.

The fivebedroom luxury lodge with

its sweeping roof, which also featured

in New Zealand’s exhibition, ‘‘Future

Islands’’, at the 2016 Venice Architecture

Biennale, was described by judges

as "an adventurous and deeply considered

response to the challenges of

designing an isolated building in an

aweinspiring landscape".

Arrowtown House, designed by

RTA Studio for artist clients in Arrowtown,

was awarded one of two top

prizes in the housing category.

Judges noted it was abold composition

that used the traditional building

and industrial materials of Central

Otago in aproject that was ‘‘as much an

exercise in the creation of asite as the

design of a home, and it is an

extraordinary experience to contemplate

the house in its setting’’.

In the small project category, the

Bivvy House in Queenstown, designed

by Vaughn Mcquarrie, and Kowhai

House in Dunedin, designed byRafe

Maclean Architects, won the two top

awards.

Kowhai House, built above the

Leith, was a timely exercise in sufficiency

and the optimisation of

resources and opportunity, the judges

said.

‘‘Designed as an efficient thermal

cocoon, the house also serves as atree

house, connected through its clever

positioning and carefully framed views,

with the wider view and more immediate

surrounds, especially the kowhai

tree for which it is named. The house,

which was designed for the architect’s

own family, is an intriguing exercise in

selfexperimentation a little box of

inbuilt happiness.’’

The Bivvy House, inagated community

in Queenstown, was a"clever

and engaging’’ piece of architecture

that provided a surprising range of

spatial experiences, they noted.

At the event Distinguished Fellow

awards, of which there are only 10 at

any one time, were bestowed on

architects Anne Salmond, of Wanaka,

and Graeme Scott and John Sutherland,

both of Auckland.

The awards jury, led by Auckland

architect Malcolm Walker and including

architects Jeff Fearon (Auckland),

Melanda Slemint (Christchurch) and

Penny Fuller (Sydney), said Salmond

had been atrail blazer for women in

architecture for more than 30 years,

leading asuccessful practice producing

highquality architecture from abase in

asmall provincial centre.

She had championed important concerns

such as sustainable design,

prefabricated construction and the

study of postoccupancy building performance.

Bank sees big impact

in freshwater proposal

Rabobank New Zealand

believes proposed freshwater

reforms will have

significant implications

for New Zealand food

and agribusiness sectors,

with a likely impact on

production costs, operational

complexity and

future landuse development

opportunities.

In its submission to

the Ministry for the

Environment, Rabobank

says the proposals, as

they stand, were

unnecessarily harsh and

would have adetrimental

impact on the rural

sector, already facing

pressures from regulatory

change.

New Zealand chief

executive officer Todd

Charteris said the bank

supported the Government’sgoal

of improving

the quality of New

Zealand’s freshwater

and reducing pollution

❛At the same time, our farmers and

growers have made significant

strides forward in improving the

management of freshwater on their

properties and this is often played

down or overlooked in some

quarters.❜

entering waterways from

cities and farms.

‘‘We also support the

relevant Ministers’

stated goals of ensuring

the pace ofchange manageable

and that appropriate

transitional support

is in place.

However, for the

reasons outlined in our

submission, we are not

confident the proposed

freshwater reforms, in

their current form, will

achieve those stated

goals in afair and balanced

way.’’

Rabobank says New

Zealand food and

agribusinesses had

proven themselves to be

resilient, innovative and

adaptable.

‘‘They are among the

most successful and

efficient food producers

in the world, they are

fast adaptors of new

technology, they operate

without subsidies and

are along distance from

their main markets.’’

‘‘At the same time,

our farmers and

growers have made significant

strides forward

in improving the management

of freshwater

on their properties

and this is often played

down or overlooked in

some quarters.’’

In its submission,

Rabobank says the proposals

most relevant to

farmers and growers

include the introduction

of more stringent nutrient

bottom line requirements,

new national

practice standards and

interim controls on land

use intensification.

He said the overall

assessment was that

impact of proposed

freshwater reforms on

the New Zealand farming

community will be

significant.

‘‘These impacts will

DairyNZ seeking feedback

DairyNZ are hosting

nationwide ‘‘offload,

reload, refresh’’ meetings

to get the view of

dairy farmers on what

their organisation’s

future focus should be.

There are 32 meetings

planned; the Ashburton

meeting will be

held at The Lake

House, at Lake Hood,

on November 18, from

7pm 8:30pm.

DairyNZ chief executive

Dr Tim Mackle said

2019 was an exceptionally

busy year for dairy

farmers.

‘‘It’s been achallenging

time for those working

in dairywith Mycoplasma

bovis continuing

to require careful management,

and consultation

on significant proposals

on freshwater

and climate change and

emissions, as well as onfarm

adaptation needed

to meet changing

environmental requirements.

‘‘Both farmers and

DairyNZ can feel proud

about how we have

worked together to put

forward practical

options to the government

such as aframework

for farmlevel

emission reductions

and to continue to

develop and implement

sciencebased solutions

which work on farm and

lead to better productivity

and environmental

outcomes.’’

The meetings were a

chance for farmers to

hear of results from

dairy levy investments,

share views on what

DairyNZ should focus

on in coming years and

enjoy a chat with

DairyNZ Board members

and staff over refreshments.

In May 2020, dairy

farmers will vote on the

level of the dairy sector

levy, which funds

research on resilient

and environmentally

sustainable farm systems,

Tb eradication,

genetic and pasture

research and a wide

range of training.

It also funds research

vary considerably from

farm to farm, depending

on location and farming

system. For some, meeting

these new requirements

will represent a major

challenge and come at

considerable cost.’’

The proposals were

described as complex and

demanding, with the consultation

timeframe

extremely tight during a

busy time in the farming

calendar.

‘‘In addition, these proposalsmust

be seen alongside

the cumulative

impact ofother regulatory

proposals currentlyaffecting

the food and agribusiness

sector.’’

They also underplayed

the progressmany farmers

and growers had already

made improving freshwater

management on

their properties and with

their environmental sustainability

practices.

and support to buildgreat

workplaces on farm, educate

the public and

schools on the value of

dairy.

‘‘DairyNZ plays a

really important role in

both advocating for dairy

farmers on policy issues,

leading a research programme

which identifies

solutions to the challenges

dairy farmers need to

meet in the future and

supporting farmers with

practical advice, training

and resources,’’ Dr Mackle

said.
