Thereisanew subdivision of 50 new houses going up around the Addams mansion.They refuse to spruce uptheir gothic eyesore so the narrow-minded townspeople forge a campaigntoforce them into it. While their parents go to war, the kids have their ownideas and nothing goes to plan. All the chaos leads up to aheart-warming ending. The movie, which is essentially about resisting the pressure toconform or change yourself, has a storyline stitched together from adozenfamily movies you’ve probably already seen. But it’s TheAddams Family so it is different! 2240274 THIS WEEK’SSPECIALS SPECIALS Local news at www.starnews.co.nz Caring is the name of our game The end of the year is agreat chance for reflection ... after the Christmas work do, the final deadlineand celebratory pink gin, and after the family gettogether, whereyou stuff yourselffull of food and shed a quiet tear for those who are missing. Therewill be thingsto celebrate, thingstomourn and things you wish you had the chance to do over again. Then there’s the chance to look ahead, hope for more of the same or different outcomes. The Ashburton Courier has been lucky to be privy to many milestone moments in the life of this district and its people. Courier comment We have been lucky to tell the stories of those people and share their achievements and adventures. Their stories are inspirational, sometimeshappy, sometimes sad, and reflect life in our neck of the woods. Many of our stories are about people doing good for others, people who have spent years workingquietly in the background to make sure stuff gets done. Today’s edition is atrue reflection of that caringattitude. The young university dental students who paid their own way to Cambodia to treat poor kids, the local Samoan community raising funds for friends and family devastated by the measles epidemic back home, Mr Basketball Wayne Rodgers who hasspent years helping youngsters play the game, fire chief Alan Burgess who has missed many hours of sleep and no doubt importantfamily gatherings to deal with fire and car crashes and Margaret Pearce, who sends compassionto cancer sufferers through her handmade quilts. Our community is filled with people who care. We are lucky. Many families, mine included, will be missing key people this Christmas. We like to think Mum still has ahand in some things that go on, like that tiny screw that falls out and can’t be found... until you try again the next day and there it is. Mum was always the finder. Importantly, we have the opportunity to look forward. In New Zealand at least,wecan set our own agenda without too much political interference, speak our own mindsand allow ourselves to be hopeful. What positive plans will you make? Linda Clarke Christmas cheer forfarmers Members of the Mid Canterbury Federation of Women’s Institutes (WI) have been been baking Christmas treats for some of the district’s Mycoplasma bovis (Mbovis) affected farming families. The WI members, many who are from rural communities or still working in the rural community, wanted to support other women and their families being affected by the cattle disease. It was achance to let them know they had not been forgotten. Mid Canterbury Federation of WIs president Mavis Wilkins said farmers dealing with Mbovis still needed community support or ahelping hand. And it was the time of year when some extra cheer was needed. ‘‘Quite afew in the WIs have come off farms and know what hard times are like, we wanted them to know they’re not forgotten,’’ she said. Among the treats were some homemade Christmas cakes, rum balls and biscuits, as well as storebought candy canes and chocolates. The items would be given to Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust team members to distribute.
