Recycling rules to change<br />
By Mick Jensen<br />
Anew education campaign is being<br />
launched by <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council to get the district’s recycling<br />
back on track.<br />
The campaign will spell out just<br />
what can and can’t be put in the<br />
yellow bins and the redefined<br />
collection service will start on<br />
August 1. New stickers will go on<br />
yellow bins and information<br />
pamphlets will be sent out.<br />
The district’s recycling goes to<br />
EcoSort in Christchurch and<br />
changes at that plant now mean only<br />
plastics numbered 1, 2, or 5will be<br />
accepted.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council’s waste<br />
recovery manager Craig Goodwin<br />
said the changes had happened with<br />
very little notice and councils<br />
around Canterbury were now faced<br />
with passing on the information and<br />
reeducating the public.<br />
The new threshold for recycling<br />
was narrower, which should make<br />
things simpler.<br />
He said the market for low grade<br />
plastics, including plastic bags, had<br />
collapsed, and soft plastics now<br />
needed to go to landfill.<br />
Plastics numbered 1were<br />
typically singleuse beverage bottles<br />
and some cooking oil bottles; those<br />
numbered 2included milk bottles,<br />
cleaning and washing products; and<br />
plastics numbered 5were items like<br />
medicine bottles, ice cream and<br />
yoghurt containers.<br />
All lids on recycled items,<br />
regardless if they were plastic or tin,<br />
needed to be removed and thrown<br />
away because they were too small to<br />
process and often made of a<br />
different plastic.<br />
It was also very important to<br />
clean all recycled items before<br />
putting them out, Mr Goodwin said.<br />
High grade plastics could be<br />
recycled 10 or 11 times and<br />
economics drove recycling.<br />
Mr Goodwin urged recyclers to<br />
read and understand the new rules<br />
around recycling, but also ‘‘to keep<br />
at it’’.<br />
Other items that can continue to<br />
go in the yellow bins as usual<br />
include flattened cardboard and egg<br />
cartons, magazines and brochures,<br />
metal tins and aluminium cans.<br />
Glass bottles and jars, without<br />
lids, should go in the green crates.<br />
Contaminated recycling is<br />
currently costing the district<br />
thousands of dollars aweek and<br />
toys, Tupperware and other<br />
‘‘mixed’’ plastics cannot be recycled.<br />
Council is monitoring<br />
contamination levels.<br />
Afivetonne load rejected in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> carried an additional<br />
cost to the ratepayer of $1065,<br />
which rose to $1606.45 if rejected in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
All kerbside recycling was sent to<br />
landfill during lockdown and the net<br />
additional cost to the ratepayer was<br />
$56,570.31.<br />
The threshold for sorting<br />
facilities to export is just 0.5 per cent<br />
contamination and <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
council needs to get it under 5per<br />
cent by volume.<br />

Butchers need new blood<br />
By Mick Jensen<br />
Netherby Meats owner Mike<br />
Hanson is keen to take on a<br />
couple of young apprentices and<br />
reckons butchery is acareer<br />
worth pursuing.<br />
Finding apprentices has been<br />
aproblem for Mike and other<br />
butchery owners for anumbers<br />
of years, but with the current<br />
feesfree support for industry<br />
training, he’s keener than ever to<br />
employ new blood and to teach<br />
people the business from the<br />
ground up.<br />
Feesfree applies for the first<br />
two years of an apprenticeship<br />
and means adecent saving for<br />
employers.<br />
Competenz training adviser<br />
Rob Prins, who manages<br />
butchery apprentices around the<br />
South Island, said adozen new<br />
apprentices had come on to his<br />
books in the past few weeks.<br />
They didn’t necessarily sign on<br />
because of zero fees, but no fees<br />
meant employers were currently<br />
more willing to take on<br />
apprentices.<br />
Supermarkets and home kill<br />
were considered essential<br />
services during lockdown, and<br />
some butchers had been flat out<br />
and worked all the way through,<br />
Mr Prins said.<br />
Butchery was an<br />
Maccas manager Ruth is lovin’ it<br />
By Toni Williams<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s Ruth Brokenshire has earned<br />
her second Restaurant Manager of the Year<br />
title across the McDonald's national<br />
franchise.<br />
The senior restaurant manager, now based<br />
in the Timaru franchise, was one of 16<br />
restaurant managers nationwide to win the<br />
justfinalised accolade for 2019, after<br />
reaching key performance indicators and<br />
bettering them from the preceding year.<br />
Ruth, 29, also earned the title in 2017.<br />
She has been at McDonald's for 13 years,<br />
starting with the <strong>Ashburton</strong> franchise as a<br />
crew member when she was 17 years old and<br />
working her way up the ranks.<br />
She started under formerrestaurant<br />
manager Moe Lamont and was shift manager<br />
at aged <strong>18</strong>.<br />
It’s been an enjoyable, but challenging<br />
experience, Ruth says.<br />
“I had to grow my people skills in the role.<br />
It’s taken five years to get it right,’’ she jokes.<br />
She says abig part of that was learning to<br />
tailor her management style to meet the<br />
individual needs of staff, which includes alot<br />
of younger crew. There is acrew of 85 in total<br />
in <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Netherby Meats shop assistant Sharleen Rielly and owner Mike Hanson.<br />
‘‘outstanding’’ industry to work<br />
in, he said.<br />
Mr Hanson offered online<br />
shopping and delivery through<br />
his business during lockdown<br />
and continues to be very busy<br />
with online, and inshop sales,<br />
and also with farm kill.<br />
‘‘I know all butchers are in the<br />
same boat and trying to attract<br />
apprentices, but I’m hopeful a<br />
Ruth Brokenshire has won asecond<br />
McDonald's restaurant manager<br />
national title.<br />
wave of new blood is coming into<br />
the profession. It’s agood<br />
industry and offers variety.’’<br />
Athree to four year<br />
apprenticeship taught all the<br />
skills needed to work in a<br />
butcher’s shop. As well as<br />
breaking down big beasts, there<br />
was small goods preparation,<br />
retail work, sausage making and<br />
pork and lamb butchering.<br />
“Everybody is different …and<br />
(instructions) have to be tailored to people<br />
and their needs,” she says.<br />
Over the years Ruth has worked under<br />
four other restaurant managers, including<br />
Wendy McHaffie who is now operations<br />
‘‘Just this week we’ve sent<br />
meat raffle packs valued at<br />
$1000 to Twizel and that side of<br />
things is building again, so<br />
there’s another facet of what we<br />
do.’’<br />
To become abutcher you need<br />
to complete an apprenticeship<br />
and gain aNew Zealand<br />
Certificate in Trade Butchery<br />
(Level 4).<br />
manager, before taking on the role herself in<br />
2015.<br />
As mum to twin sevenyearold boys, Ruth<br />
says the McDonald's familyfriendly flexible<br />
hours, especially as the boys were younger,<br />
allowed her to successfully combine<br />
parenting with her professional duties.<br />
She is not one to turn down achallenge<br />
and likes that every day at work is different.<br />
“It’s always changing, it’s never the same<br />
…you think you are going to walk in to<br />
something but walk in to something else.”<br />
She also enjoys the social side of the<br />
workforce and the fundraising activities done<br />
for Ronald McDonald House. They have<br />
included lip sync events, sausage sizzles,<br />
movie fundraisers, raffles and netball games.<br />
Ruth’s success in the role has recently seen<br />
franchise owner Dave Whalley, who has the<br />
Rolleston, <strong>Ashburton</strong> and newlyacquired<br />
Timaru McDonald's restaurants, promote<br />
her to asenior restaurant manager role<br />
based in Timaru. She commutes daily.<br />
Ruth says she has been tasked with<br />
bringing the Timaru restaurant in to line with<br />
the two others in the stable.<br />
Her first call of duty, after taking on the<br />
role, was to employ more staff; they now<br />
have 85 on their crew too.<br />

Free lunch, fellowship back on at church<br />
By ToniWilliams<br />
Covid19 may have stretched<br />
resources in some Mid Canterbury<br />
homes but ahot meal and friendship<br />
is back on the menu at <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Baptist Church.<br />
Lunch this week under the<br />
guidance of George Rendall, in<br />
charge ofthe kitchen and its<br />
14strong roster of volunteers, was<br />
vegetable soup, spaghetti bolognaise<br />
with carrot cake to finish.<br />
The onceaweek, free offering<br />
which changeseach week, was well<br />
supported before Covid19, and<br />
organisers are expecting there could<br />
be more interest if people face<br />
hardships or financial pressure in the<br />
coming months.<br />
But they are more than readywith<br />
not just their community lunch, but<br />
with pastoral support, advice or just a<br />
listening ear.<br />
Interim seniorpastor Bill Avenell<br />
said the church offered arange of<br />
Grain store<br />
stays on<br />
heritage list<br />
The Environment Court<br />
has declined an<br />
application by <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
business Redmond Retail<br />
that would remove the<br />
heritage listing of the<br />
former Peter Cates Grain<br />
Store on West Street.<br />
Redmonds owns the<br />
building, which lacks<br />
structural integrity and<br />
has been identified by the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council as earthquake<br />
prone. It wants to<br />
demolish the old building,<br />
saying the cost of making<br />
it tenantable is prohibitive<br />
and unrealistic.<br />
The grain store is in two<br />
parts, with the front<br />
curved part valued for its<br />
history and links to the<br />
district’s early farming<br />
days.<br />
Redmonds had asked<br />
council to change its<br />
district plan to remove the<br />
heritage listing but that<br />
was opposed by Heritage<br />
NZ and local history<br />
buffs.<br />
The court, in adecision<br />
released on Tuesday, said<br />
the parties in opposition<br />
had awealth of<br />
knowledge about the<br />
history of the building and<br />
its place within the<br />
economic history of Mid<br />
Canterbury. This was<br />
accompanied by astrong<br />
desire to preserve and<br />
protect the building, not<br />
only because of its values<br />
but also because it is one<br />
of adiminishing number<br />
of historic listings in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
The oldest part of the<br />
building was constructed<br />
in September <strong>18</strong>78 and it<br />
was used as agoods and<br />
grain store, with the<br />
ground floor converted to<br />
office space in <strong>18</strong>65. It has<br />
been listed as ahistoric<br />
building since 1981.<br />
Peter Cates sold the<br />
building to Redmonds in<br />
services including apastoral care<br />
team who were able to help peoplein<br />
arange of needs.<br />
They offered meals, assistedwith<br />
clothing or household items in<br />
emergency situations or just a<br />
friendly face and fellowship.<br />
‘‘We endeavour to cater to the<br />
needs of thecommunity,’’ he said.<br />
The familyfriendly church, able to<br />
feed people’s bellies as well as their<br />
souls, has an open doorpolicy and is<br />
not just restricted to those within the<br />
church.<br />
They promise not to bombard<br />
people with aBible when they walk<br />
in but do offer arange of activities<br />
for people to join, on top of their<br />
regular Sunday service with<br />
fellowship afterwards.<br />
They include aknitting group for<br />
any skill level, amums and bubs/<br />
preschoolers group, youth bible<br />
study forYear 7toYear 13 students,<br />
home connect bible study groups and<br />
aChristianRejoice Group especially<br />
2015. Reports would later<br />
say the cost of bringing<br />
the building up to code<br />
would be around $2.6<br />
million.<br />
Judge Melanie Harland<br />
said the fact that the<br />
heritage listing in the<br />
district plan covered the<br />
entire building had<br />
caused considerable<br />
disquiet to those deciding<br />
the matter, as the<br />
Heritage NZ’s listing was<br />
amended in 20<strong>18</strong> to relate<br />
only to the original front<br />
of the building.<br />
She said there were<br />
some reasonable uses for<br />
the rear of the building,<br />
but fewer for the front<br />
because significant<br />
changes would<br />
compromise the heritage<br />
values of the building<br />
interior.<br />
“We appreciate this<br />
decision will be agreat<br />
disappointment to<br />
Redmond Retail, which<br />
faces significant costs to<br />
bring the building up to a<br />
standard where it is able<br />
to action the reasonable<br />
uses that we have found<br />
exist under the District<br />
Plan provisions. We hope<br />
that there will be a<br />
solution reached outside<br />
of this process that<br />
recognises this.”<br />
The judge said the<br />
award of costs against<br />
Redmonds was not<br />
appropriate but council<br />
and Heritage NZ had 15<br />
days to apply for costs if<br />
they were to do so.<br />

Video workouts<br />
inspire members<br />
There have been big<br />
numbers returning to EA<br />
Networks Centre since<br />
Alert Level 1was<br />
introduced.<br />
In the three weeks since<br />
May 14, there had been 30<br />
new members signing up,<br />
centre manager Steve<br />
Prescott told <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
District councillors at a<br />
recent activity briefing.<br />
None had used the<br />
centre before, but most<br />
had been inspired by the<br />
Les Mills workout videos<br />
featured on television<br />
during the early weeks of<br />
lockdown.<br />
‘‘They’ve been inspired<br />
and now they’re coming<br />
to us to do it themselves,<br />

Frosty start for keen drivers<br />
By ToniWilliams<br />
Motoring enthusiasts lined up for aspeed<br />
fix in the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Car Club’s grass<br />
motorkhana.<br />
It was the first postlockdown event and<br />
afun day for members, and members of the<br />
public, before the club’s annual Levels<br />
Track Day in Timaru this Saturday.<br />
The motorkhana was held at the club’s<br />
grounds on Wakelins Road last Sunday.<br />
An attempted breakin over lockdown of<br />
the clubhouse, now being investigated by<br />
the Police, did little to dampen members’<br />
spirits with nearperfect conditions on the<br />
day for members to let off steam.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Car Club vicepresident<br />
Daniel Tew said 19 drivers signed up on the<br />
day, keen to get behind the wheel and show<br />
their skills on the grass course.<br />
They included amix of car club members<br />
as well as members of the public, some of<br />
whom had come especially for the event<br />
from outside the district. ‘‘We had 19<br />
entries ... which is pretty good.’’<br />
The event, run out the back of the<br />
clubrooms, was abasic car course suitable<br />
for drivers aged 12 years and older.<br />
It was afamilyfriendly event, but most<br />
taking part were seasoned drivers keen to<br />
blow off the cobwebs on their vehicles.<br />
They included Datsun drivers Brian Taylor<br />
in his rustorange coloured Datsun, and<br />
Peggy Barrett in her yellow 1977 Datsun<br />
120Y.<br />
Mr Taylor’s vehicle is awork in progress<br />
that’s been sitting in his garage for the past<br />
15 years but Mrs Barrett’s bright yellow<br />
model was bought 11 years ago and is still<br />
in mint condition. She does some of the<br />
Books on<br />
Wheels<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Public Library staff are<br />
delivering books on wheels to an<br />
extra 21 clients after arecent ring<br />
around.<br />
Staff rang <strong>18</strong>5 people who had<br />
not been to the library in recent<br />
weeks, but had previously been<br />
regular users, and found there was<br />
new demand for the delivery<br />
service.<br />
Demand for delivery had<br />
dropped prior to lockdown and now<br />
totals around 25.<br />
Books on Wheels began in 2002<br />
as ajoint venture with the Altrusa<br />
Club of <strong>Ashburton</strong>. Books are<br />
delivered every fortnight to older<br />
readers in the <strong>Ashburton</strong> urban<br />
area who have access or health<br />
issues which make it difficult for<br />
them to come into the library.<br />
maintenance herself.<br />
‘‘Growing up Ihad trucks instead of<br />
dolls,’’ she jokes. It was not her ideal car<br />
but the 1200cc model was affordable at the<br />
time and she has no plans to sell it just yet.<br />
Mr Tew said all vehicles in the<br />
motorkhana needed to be road legal.<br />
Those taking part dated from the ‘70s<br />
through to the latest model Subarus.<br />
While it was afun event, it tested the<br />
driving skill of each participant as they took<br />
on three courses, three times each to try to<br />
improve their time without penalties.<br />
The event started on athicklyfrosted<br />
ground which became more slippery and<br />
tested skills. Drivers started on abasic zig<br />
zag course, before advancing to skids and<br />
donuts and then ending the day with a<br />
minirace.<br />

Money in the bank for pool upgrade<br />
By Mick Jensen<br />
Carew Peel Forest School has money<br />
in the bank for an upgrade and<br />
refurbishment of its swimming pool,<br />
a pool built by the community in<br />
1943.<br />
Some work on the pool started<br />
prior to lockdown, but with winter<br />
now here, much of the work will<br />
continue in November.<br />
Abig splash is expected when the<br />
new look community asset is<br />
unveiled in early December.<br />
Some $20,000 for the pool project<br />
has been given by Hinds and District<br />
Lions, Mayfield Lions and other<br />
local donations, while ahefty Lotteries<br />
grant of $128,000 was recently<br />
received.<br />
The school pool is large at 25m<br />
long, and also features a toddlers<br />
pool.<br />
It is made of concrete and was<br />
built and paid for by the community.<br />
Construction began in October<br />
1941 and was completed four months<br />
later.<br />
Socials and dances back in the day<br />
were the main source for funding it.<br />
The volunteers who built it used<br />
100 yards of Orari shingle and 14 and<br />
ahalf tons of cement, supported by<br />
reinforcing steel.<br />
Fifteen centimetre thick walls have<br />
ensured the longevity of the pool<br />
over the years, but there are<br />
occasional leaks, paint is peeling and<br />
it’s time for an upgrade.<br />
The new look pool will be tackled<br />
in two stages.<br />
It will be cleaned and recoated in<br />
fibreglass in stage one, while anew,<br />
modern filtration system will be<br />
added in stage two. A new pump<br />
shed is also on the cards.<br />
Carew Peel Forest School principal<br />
Sharon Ketter said the project<br />
was huge for the school.<br />
It bucked atrend of schools getting<br />
rid of their pools and would mean a<br />
leak proof and smart new pool for<br />
the children and local community.<br />
The Ministry of Education partially<br />
funded the cost of chemicals for<br />
the pool, and would pay to remove it,<br />
but they didn’t fund refurbishments.<br />
‘‘The community has the use of the<br />
pool via apool key system for asmall<br />
cost, which helps pay for minor<br />
maintenance.<br />
‘‘Our children learn to swim in it<br />
on a daily basis over the summer<br />
months and families also have free<br />
use of the barbecue within the pool<br />
area,’’ said Mrs Ketter.<br />

Consent<br />
concerns<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council is concerned<br />
proposed changes to building<br />
consent exemptions could be<br />
problematic further down the line.<br />
The exemption proposal will<br />
increase the current size limitation<br />
of certain structures, including pole<br />
sheds and hay barns.<br />
Council processed an average of<br />
70 pole shed/hay barn consents<br />
each year, with athird of them<br />
requiring council input to comply<br />
with the building code or District<br />
Plan, said council’s strategy &<br />
compliance manager Jane<br />
Donaldson.<br />
She said passing on advice<br />
without aformal mechanism like a<br />
building consent in place could be<br />
problematic for council and have<br />
consequences for others.<br />
Currently aconsent is needed for<br />
pole sheds/hay barns and anyone<br />
could put them up.<br />
With the proposed changes, no<br />
consent is needed, but the<br />
construction must be supervised by<br />
alicensed practitioner. Changes will<br />
take affect in August.<br />

Refugees in limbo; students send love<br />
Netherby School students Anya<br />
Walker and Isabella McCully put<br />
their kind hearts and artistic talent to<br />
good work to design the official<br />
poster for World Refugee Day in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council’s<br />
Welcoming Communities<br />
programme and Safer Mid<br />
Canterbury’s Refugee Settlement<br />
Support Service put the call out to<br />
creative kids last month and<br />
Netherby School rose to the<br />
challenge.<br />
Anya and Isabella, both age 9, won<br />
for their joint poster while classmate<br />
Ryleigh Martin, 10, was runnerup.<br />
Emily Hodzelmans, 10, of<br />
Hampstead was also runnerup.<br />
The winning posters were chosen<br />
by deputy mayor Liz McMillan and<br />
have been used as the base design for<br />
big posters that will appear around<br />
the district to mark World Refugee<br />
Day on Saturday.<br />
The winning artists received a$100<br />
Warehouse voucher and the runnersup<br />
$30 vouchers each.<br />
Ms McMillan said she chose Anya<br />
and Isabella’s poster from the 41<br />
entered because it showed several<br />
prominent town features, including<br />
the town clock and an eyecatching<br />
road sign. It was adifficult choosing<br />
awinner from so many good posters.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> is still awaiting word on<br />
the arrival of refugees who will make<br />
anew home here.<br />
Refugee settlement support team<br />
leader Kathy HarringtonWatt said it<br />
was likely they would come from<br />
refugee camps in Malaysia or<br />
Pakistan but Covid19 meant<br />
transport routes and borders had<br />
closed to many. ‘‘They are in limbo.’’<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> was still expecting<br />
refugees and the resettlement service<br />
was ready to go once they received<br />
word about when they would arrive.<br />
She told Netherby School students<br />
that the newcomers needed asafe<br />
home and <strong>Ashburton</strong> could help<br />
them.<br />
‘‘Our responsibility as a<br />
community is to make them feel<br />
welcome, to become friends, to make<br />
them feel happy.’’<br />
World Refugee Day was achance<br />
to think about refugees and their<br />
situations.<br />
She said children would be the<br />
most welcoming to <strong>Ashburton</strong>’s<br />
refugees when they arrived.<br />

Council meetings<br />
back to normal<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council looks set to<br />
resume its normal<br />
schedule of meetingsafter<br />
today, with councillors<br />
expected to suspendthe<br />
Covid19 response<br />
committee, which has met<br />
weekly since late March<br />
when pandemic<br />
restrictions wereimposed.<br />
Since March 25, council<br />
delegated all of its<br />
decisionmaking to the<br />
Covid19 committee.<br />
Councillors met online via<br />
Zoom to hear updates<br />
about essential council<br />
activities.<br />
Councillors are<br />
expected to vote to<br />
reinstate the standing<br />
committees and the<br />
Methven Community<br />
Board today.<br />
Scheduled meetings<br />
would resume on <strong>June</strong> 29<br />
for the Methven board and<br />
in July for council. The<br />
environmental services,<br />
community services and<br />
infrastructure services<br />
committees are planned to<br />
meet on July7,with bylaw<br />
and policy and audit, risk<br />
and finance on July 9.<br />
Areport for councillors<br />
said the response<br />
committee had done its job<br />
of allowing council to<br />
function through the<br />
pandemic alert levels 4<br />
down to 2. Reinstating the<br />
committees would signal<br />
business as usual and allow<br />
greater community<br />
engagement and<br />
attendance at meetings.<br />

Trail users watch for machines<br />
People walking and riding on<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> River trail are<br />
being warned to watch out for<br />
machinery and vehicles near<br />
Milton Road.<br />
Contractors working for the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council are<br />
installing anew and larger<br />
wastewater pipeline under the<br />
river from Milton Road south<br />
to Wilkins Road. The pipe will<br />
connect to anew pump station<br />
being built on Wilkins Road.<br />
The contractors are now<br />
more than halfway across the<br />
river with the new pipe and<br />
people who use the river trail<br />
are being warned to be mindful<br />
of more machinery and<br />
increased traffic in the Milton<br />
Road area.<br />
Work on the $7 million<br />
wastewater upgrade was halted<br />
during lockdown, but is back on<br />
track. Contractors Seipp<br />
Constructions have also begun<br />
the pump station construction.<br />
Chair of council's<br />
infrastructure services<br />
committee Stuart Wilson says<br />
the project is making good<br />
progress and that it will help<br />
support <strong>Ashburton</strong>'s growth for<br />
many years to come.<br />
‘‘Significant infrastructure<br />
upgrades like this are as<br />
important as ever as we look to<br />
support our community and<br />
Pipe progress under the <strong>Ashburton</strong> River.<br />
encourage growth in the years<br />
ahead. The council is very<br />
pleased to be investing in this<br />
project for the benefit of<br />
residents now and well into the<br />
future.<br />
‘‘The technical skill to install<br />
this pipeline while also keeping<br />
the water flowing and looking<br />
out for the wellbeing of fish and<br />
birds in the area is also<br />
impressive.’’<br />
An estimated 900 fish were<br />
rescued from a200m stretch of<br />
the river and relocated under<br />
the supervision of Environment<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Anumber of councillors and<br />
staff visited the construction<br />
site recently to assess progress<br />
and were shown the work<br />
currently happening on the<br />
pump station.<br />
At the end of May,<br />
contractors poured more than<br />
50 cubic metres of concrete to<br />
form the pump station base<br />
which is 10m below ground<br />
level. They have since begun<br />
working on the steel<br />
reinforcement for the walls.<br />
To date, more than 1100m of<br />
sheet piles have been dug into<br />
the riverbed to help control the<br />
flow of water and allow for the<br />
pipeline to be installed. In some<br />
places, the pipe is being laid up<br />
to 6.8m underground.<br />
Service Delivery Group<br />
Manager Neil McCann says<br />
managing the water is one of<br />
the biggest ongoing challenges<br />
for the project.<br />
‘‘Water from the river<br />
surface is one factor, but<br />
controlling the water table<br />
underground is also abig<br />
consideration. There are five<br />
large dewatering pumps<br />
working to keep the water table<br />
below the pipe installation<br />
level.<br />
‘‘This water is then stored in<br />
asettling pond before being<br />
discharged in an<br />
environmentally friendly<br />

He said that although the<br />
Covid19 restrictions over<br />
March and April pushed out<br />
the construction schedule,<br />
extra resource was being<br />
allocated to help get the<br />
programme back on track.<br />
Work began on the project in<br />
November last year and<br />
contractors hope to have it<br />
completed by this December.<br />

Longbeach event pays dividends<br />
Organisers of the Ruralco<br />
Longbeach Coastal Challenge<br />
are hoping aresurgence of<br />
people biking over lockdown will<br />
see entries for this year’s event<br />
come flooding in.<br />
The challenge is on November<br />
29.<br />
Organising committee chair<br />
Matt Galbraith said the annual<br />
event, run by Longbeach School<br />
and Hinds and District Lions,<br />
had been wellsupported in the<br />
past with both groups playing<br />
vital roles in its running.<br />
They provide manpower<br />
across the year and on the day,<br />
including track readiness and<br />
maintenance, health and safety,<br />
registrations, marshalling,<br />
cooking on the barbecue or<br />
towing trailers.<br />
Mr Galbraith said it was a<br />
community event, run by<br />
community people with money<br />
raised benefitting the<br />
community. It also had the<br />
backing of business sponsors<br />
from within the community.<br />
It raised both groups $11,000<br />
each last year.<br />
Ruralco’s Jono Pavey, Longbeach School Board of Trustees<br />
chair Toni Durham, Longbeach Coastal Challenge’s Matt<br />
Galbraith and Hinds and District Lions president Malcolm<br />
Read following the transfer of proceeds from last year’s<br />
Ruralco Longbeach Coastal Challenge.<br />
Longbeach School board of<br />
trustees chair Toni Durham said<br />
the money helped fund teacher<br />
aides and educational support.<br />
She said the support of the<br />
lions and the school’s families<br />
was a“very cool partnership”<br />
and the school was grateful.<br />
Hinds and District Lions<br />
president Malcolm Read said<br />
discussion on future projects<br />
would be raised once the group<br />
was able to get together again<br />
postCovid19.<br />
The 50strong members are<br />
not due to formally meet until<br />
July, but planned asocial catchup<br />
this week.<br />
In the past the Lions have<br />
contributed to community<br />
projects such as the Carew Peel<br />
Forest School pool repair work,<br />
but also to projects that benefit<br />
the wider community such as<br />
those undertaken by Maia<br />
Health’s Christchurch Hospital<br />
rooftop helipad campaign.<br />
Mr Read said now they were<br />
keen for an event to “restore the<br />
heart in the community”.<br />
“We’re just looking forward to<br />
getting back together as a<br />
group.”<br />
Mr Galbraith said there has<br />
been renewed interest in cycling<br />
which he hoped would see more<br />
people enter this year’s event.<br />
The challenge, which includes<br />
run, walk or bike options,<br />
ranging from 5km up to 35km<br />
distances, also gives people a<br />
local event to train toward.<br />
He said 1500 people took part<br />
in the 10year anniversary event<br />
and “it was busy” but the key was<br />
knowing registration numbers<br />
early and being prepared for the<br />
day. Registrations open on<br />
August 1.<br />
More work needed at Rangitata corner<br />
Anew intersection speed zone<br />
on State Highway 1atRangitata<br />
is aimed at preventing serious<br />
crashes but locals and Rangitata<br />
MP Andrew Falloon say more<br />
work is needed.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport<br />
Agency has installed electronic<br />
signs that detect when someone<br />
is turning into or out of State<br />
Highway 79 and will temporarily<br />
reduce the speed limit on SH1<br />
from 100km/h to 60km/h.<br />
The electronic signs are part<br />
of apackage of work designed to<br />
make the intersection safer.<br />
Barrier arms were installed in<br />
2019, the road shoulder on SH1<br />
has been widened and an escape<br />
bay installed for traffic caught on<br />
the rail line.<br />
Geraldine and Rangitata<br />
locals campaigned for<br />
improvements and met with Mr<br />
Falloon,who took their<br />
suggestions to the national<br />
roading agency.<br />
They sought to have the<br />
turning bay for southbound<br />
traffic turning on to SH29<br />
lengthened, better and earlier<br />
signage advising motorist of the<br />
turnoff,wideningthe road to<br />
include amerging lane for<br />
northbound traffic turning into<br />
State Highway 1and areduction<br />
in the speed limit throughthe<br />
Rangitata township either side<br />
of the intersection.<br />
“It’s positive that anumber of<br />
those requested changes are<br />
under way,” Mr Falloon said.<br />
“Lengthening the turning bayis<br />
badly neededaspreviously it has<br />
filled up with just one milk<br />
tanker or two campervans, which<br />
is entirely inadequate when you<br />
consider the trafficvolumes that<br />
turn right southbound.<br />
“A lot of the tourist traffic that<br />
turns right to go to Mt Cook and<br />
Queenstown are following GPS<br />
and turn very late. More and<br />
earlier signage is needed, and<br />
I’m hopeful NZTA will install<br />
that as part of the upgrade.”<br />
He said while locals had<br />
campaigned for apermanent<br />
reduction in speed, at least<br />
electronic signs like those in<br />
Burnham wouldsee traffic<br />
slowed when the intersection is<br />
busy.<br />
“At present some northbound<br />
traffic turning on to State<br />
Highway 1does so without<br />
stopping, which has caused<br />
accidents there in the past.’’
Robert Harris’ Sam Chapman shouts Julia Robins aflat white.<br />
1000 coffees shouted<br />
Amateur coffee connoisseur Julia<br />
Robins was one of just over 1000 coffeeloving<br />
customers to pick up a<br />
complimentary flat white coffee from<br />
Robert Harris <strong>Ashburton</strong> during their<br />
shout the nation event.<br />
The event was part of anationwide<br />
offer by the coffee chain to recognise the<br />
efforts of the community over Alert<br />
Level 4lockdown and subsequent<br />
restrictions to get to level 1.<br />
Robert Harris <strong>Ashburton</strong> owner Sam<br />
Chapman said the company was<br />
incredibly proud of New Zealanders and<br />
what they had achieved in the fight<br />
against Covid19.<br />
‘‘If everyone didn’t do the right thing<br />
in level four and level three we would<br />
still be closed down so it was nice that<br />
the community got together and was<br />
able to do that,’’ he said.<br />
At the <strong>Ashburton</strong> cafe, four baristas<br />
worked throughout the day to keep the<br />
coffee machine chugging away, backed<br />
up by ateam of 13 working flat out to<br />
serve customers.<br />
‘‘There were some tired feet at the<br />
end of the day, that’s for sure,’’ Mr<br />
Chapman said.<br />
Afew customers did offer to pay.<br />
‘‘Which was absolutely lovely, but from<br />
my side it was just saying to everyone<br />
thank you very much for doing what you<br />
did.’’<br />
He said for all businesses in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>, from asupport local sort of<br />
view, it’s been nice to see people back<br />
out supporting businesses.<br />
Comment by Labour MP Jo Luxton<br />
MP reflects on connections,<br />
achievementsoffirst term<br />
When Ifirst became a<br />
Member of Parliament<br />
after the 2017 General<br />
Election, <strong>2020</strong> seemed a<br />
long way off. Ijumped into<br />
aworld of policy,<br />
procedures and<br />
parliamentarians,<br />
knowing that Ihad three<br />
years to make my stamp<br />
and to advocate for this<br />
region.<br />
There are many<br />
moments to be proud of as<br />
amember of government led by Jacinda<br />
Ardern. Mid Canterbury schools will<br />
receive $3 million for infrastructure<br />
works to build and maintain quality<br />
learning environments for our children.<br />
The Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa<br />
received funding from the Provincial<br />
Growth Fund and is set to open next<br />
year. And of course, <strong>Ashburton</strong> College<br />
had avisit from Jacinda Ardern to<br />
announce more than $50 million for new<br />
classrooms, and other renovations.<br />
ECE teachers and teacher aides will<br />
have their pay increased after years of<br />
underfunding. We introduced the<br />
Winter Energy Payment, the BestStart<br />
payment for parents with babies,<br />
boosted the incomes of 384,000 families<br />
with the Families Package. We’ve built<br />
5000 public houses.<br />
This short list of achievements is<br />
something to be proud of.<br />
I’m particularly proud of our response<br />
to the 1in100 year global pandemic<br />
that is Covid19.<br />
Just this past weekend, rugby resumed<br />
all across New Zealand. Southern took<br />
on the Harlequins in Timaru; the<br />
Highlanders took on the Chiefs at<br />
Forsyth Barr –life is beginning to return<br />
to as normal as it can be in the time of<br />
aglobal pandemic. At atime when other<br />
countries are still reporting tens of<br />
thousands of new cases and hundreds of<br />
Covidrelated deaths each day, New<br />
Zealand is relatively Covidfree and we<br />
are able to return to cafes, to bars, to<br />
rugby games. We are able to come<br />
MP Jo Luxton<br />
together without social<br />
distancing, and have those<br />
amazing facetoface<br />
connections that we so<br />
missed.<br />
We are only able to do<br />
this because every New<br />
Zealander stepped up.<br />
Going hard and early<br />
required great sacrifice, and<br />
tragically some lives were<br />
lost. But now Ithink our<br />
team of five million can<br />
reflect on the pretty big<br />
milestone of our achievements.<br />
We cannot take this position for<br />
granted, as there could still be<br />
undetected cases in our communities,<br />
and there are still New Zealanders<br />
returning home from overseas. But I<br />
think we can all be very proud of what<br />
we’ve achieved, and rightly enjoy our<br />
new freedoms.<br />
We said from the beginning that our<br />
best economic response to Covid19 was<br />
astrong health response, and the results<br />
speak for themselves. At Alert Level 1,<br />
New Zealand is now if not the most,<br />
then one of the most, open economies in<br />
the world.<br />
None of this happened by accident.<br />
It’s all part of the Government’s threestep<br />
plan to guide New Zealand through<br />
the global economic shock caused by<br />
Covid19: respond, recover, and rebuild<br />
better. And we will do it together.<br />
As Isign off on my last column in the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong> before the election,<br />
I’d like to say thank you. Thank you for<br />
your continued support Mid Canterbury<br />
–ithas truly been an honour to be a<br />
Labour Party List MP based here in<br />
Rangitata.<br />
I’ve enjoyed the connections,<br />
conversations, and the work and help<br />
I’ve been able to provide to those that<br />
have needed it. That is what I’m most<br />
proud of –helping those that need it.<br />
Because that is why IamanMP–to<br />
help, to make changes, to be avoice. I’ve<br />
thoroughly enjoyed it, and hope to<br />
continue it after the election also.<br />

weekend for Matariki<br />
celebrations and the whole<br />
group is looking forward to a<br />
communications training<br />

The young adults were<br />
appointed this year as global<br />
ambassadors; they support<br />
council by attending community<br />
events and undertake workshops<br />
and training the aim is to gain<br />
practical experience in<br />
international relations.<br />
They attended the Holi<br />
Festival of Colours earlier this<br />

Our essential dairy workers stranded<br />
Stranded overseas dairy workers<br />
could mean ashortage of skilled<br />
farm staffinMid Canterbury over<br />
the coming months.<br />
Forty members of the <strong>Ashburton</strong>based<br />
organisation Filipino Dairy<br />
Workers in New Zealand Inc were<br />
waiting to get back into the country,<br />
while 30 to 40 other migrant worker<br />
families wereinthe same situation,<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> council’s Welcoming<br />
Communities adviser Janice McKay<br />
told councillors at an activity briefing<br />
last week.<br />
Mayor Neil Brown asked if council<br />
could do anything to help get the<br />
dairy workers back to Mid<br />
Canterbury.<br />
He said it was just six weeks away<br />
from the calving season and a<br />
number of farmershad contracts in<br />
place with workers and some would<br />
not be here to start.<br />
Councillor Angus McKay asked if<br />
it was possible to get new people<br />
trained to fill the worker shortage.<br />
‘‘These people are essential<br />
workers and we really need to get<br />
theminthe country,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘If we can get the film people in,<br />
we should be able to get these in.’’<br />
Council chief executive Hamish<br />
Riach said the issue of stranded<br />
overseas workerswas anational<br />
problem.<br />
Council had an advocacy role to<br />
play, he said.<br />

Raising awareness of elder abuse<br />
Abuse of our elderly folk is hitting<br />
closer to home than people think.<br />
It may be hidden in our<br />
community but Age Concern<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> president Trish Small<br />
says it is out there and this week she<br />
is raising its profile as part of elder<br />
abuse awareness week.<br />
More than threequarters of<br />
alleged abusers, according to<br />
national figures, are adult children or<br />
grandchildren, and are just as likely<br />
to be female as male.<br />
Mrs Small said abuse could<br />
include financial, psychological or<br />
physical abuse or even neglect.<br />
‘‘There are different concepts of<br />
abuse,’’ she said, and anyone<br />
concerned about afamily member,<br />
friend or neighbour could ring Age<br />
Concern for help and advice.<br />
The free phone number (0800<br />
3266865) would put people in direct<br />
contact with Canterbury Age<br />
Concern who had people able to deal<br />
trained to help.<br />
However people could also call the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> office if they just wanted<br />
to talk to someone about their<br />
concerns.<br />
Age Concern’s Elder Abuse<br />
services nationwide received 2500<br />
referrals of older people facing elder<br />
abuse or neglect in the past year.<br />
That’s 10 referrals every working<br />
Age Concern’s Janet Olds and Trish Small set up astatic display of information on elder abuse<br />
awareness in the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Arcade.<br />
day; 1919 were confirmed as being<br />
abusive or neglectful situations.<br />
More than half of those abused<br />
were over the age of 75, but while 40<br />
per cent live alone, in two out of five<br />
cases the alleged abuser lived with<br />
the older person.<br />
Elder abuse is an issue that is also<br />
picked up by other agencies such as<br />
health providers, police, lawyers,<br />
banks, iwi and other community<br />
groups.<br />
The different types of abuse over<br />
the past year saw 86 per cent involve<br />
psychological abuse, 50 per cent<br />
financial abuse, <strong>18</strong> per cent physical<br />
abuse 15 per cent neglect and 17 per<br />
cent selfneglect.<br />
Getting back into the swing of things, postcovid<br />
It's been great seeing many of<br />
council's formerlyrestricted or<br />
postponed activities resume as<br />
normal these past two weeks. Our<br />
first activity briefings since before the<br />
lockdown was held last Thursday<br />
with councillors and it really<br />
illustrated just how much is going on<br />
right across the council, from<br />
regulatory services, infrastructure<br />
upgrades and maintenance<br />
programmes, right through to<br />
community engagement and business<br />
improvements.<br />
As you might have seen recently,<br />
both the <strong>Ashburton</strong> CBD<br />
Streetscape Revitalisation and<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> River Crossing and Pump<br />
Station projects are making great<br />
progress, despite the lockdown<br />
pushing their work schedules out<br />
Comment by Hamish Riach, <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council CEO<br />
slightly. Upgrades to the Rakaia<br />
Salmon Site are also making<br />
progress.<br />
The old toilets have now finished<br />
deconstruction, and the groundwork<br />
on the new facilities is now well<br />
under way. Some of the new toilet<br />
units have arrived onsite ready to be<br />
installed and the remaining two are<br />
expected to arrive this month. The<br />
new facilities will make areal<br />
difference to Rakaia's popular park<br />
and help to ensure there are<br />
adequate facilities available for<br />
everyone.<br />
In addition to the draft <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Domain Development Plan that<br />
remains open for feedback, we will<br />
begin consulting on proposed<br />
changes to our Revenue and<br />
Financing Policy and Development<br />
and Financial Contributions Policy<br />
from next week.<br />
The policies set out how council<br />
services and activities are funded and<br />
charged, and in relation to<br />
development contributions, it<br />
prescribes how these contributions<br />
are calculated and paid.<br />
For the Revenue and Financing<br />
Policy, the proposed changes relate<br />
to Elderly Persons Housing,<br />
stockwater and wastewater; while<br />
consideration is being given on<br />
whether or not to increase<br />
development contributions.<br />
We'd really like to hear from you<br />
about what you think of these<br />
proposed changes. You'll have a<br />
chance to learn about the proposals<br />
and provide feedback when<br />
consultation opens at the end of next<br />
week. Go to ashburtondc.govt.nz/<br />
haveyoursay from 26 <strong>June</strong>. Feedback<br />
will be welcome until July 26.<br />
For dog owners around the<br />
district, next month will be time to reregister<br />
your dog. Renewal forms<br />
have been mailed out to owners this<br />
week, so keep an eye out for yours. If<br />
you don't receive yours, you can still<br />
register your dogs either online<br />
(ashburtondc.govt.nz/<br />
dogregistration) or at the council<br />
office.<br />
All dogs aged three months and<br />
older must be registered each year<br />
and you have until the end of July to<br />
register on time.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> A&Pshow will be the<br />
biggest agriculturalshow on the<br />
South Island, says <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

learning and we are still mindful of minimising<br />
interruptions to that.<br />
Challenges<br />

College CoffeeLab<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> College Coffee Lab is afocused, quietly purposeful teamlearning<br />
environment. Underthe experiencedtutelageofPauline Blunden,<br />
Year 12 and Year 13 students are learning step-by-step Barista processes.<br />
To the casual observer, this fine art has anumber of complexities to it, let<br />
alonelearninghow to deliveraqualityproduct and service undertime and<br />
customerpressure.<br />
The course, part of the Hospitality Food and Nutrition subject range,<br />
supports studentstodevelop skillssuited to employment in the hospitality<br />
sector, and to evaluating what type of employment they may wish to<br />
pursue. The two-daycourses areanoption forYear 12 and Year 13 students.<br />
ForYear 12 students (at Level 2)the course is about equipment, the coffee<br />
and the beans while, at Level 3(Year 13) after a‘refresher’ time it is about<br />
groups oftwo-four students learning to run the lab independently. Both<br />
levels undertake atheoryassessment alongsidethe practical assessment.<br />
(Pictured right, left and right):<br />

From this, the progression is<br />
preparation for student and<br />
staff customers at intervals and<br />
lunchtimes, Mondays through to<br />
Thursdays, offering coffee ofchoice<br />
or hot chocolate for sale. Year 13<br />
students are required to undertake a<br />
minimum of thirty hours ofcustomer<br />

The work, however, is not all about Long Blacks, Flat Whites, Espressos or<br />

and machines cleanand hygienic,readyfor thenextroundofcustomers.<br />
Aside from growing knowledge, the abilitytoworkeffectively and efficiently<br />
as a team, show self-responsibility, initiative, and being responsive to<br />
customer needsare all an integralpartofthis learning.<br />
The initiative for setting upthe Coffee Lab came from Food and Nutrition<br />
teacher Bev Neutze who, with Scott Haines Deputy Principal atthat time,<br />
prepared the submission to the Board ofTrustees for its establishment<br />
ten-plus years ago. Ithas been operating successfully sincethat time.<br />

Altrusa delays<br />
fabric bazaar<br />
Altrusa International of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> is<br />
postponing this year’s<br />
Fabric and Craft Bazaar<br />
because of the possible<br />
affects it may have on<br />
local retailers returning<br />
to trade after weeks of<br />
lockdown.<br />
Event convener<br />
Helen Hooper said the<br />
service club was mindful<br />
of how the forced<br />
shutdown had affected<br />
some businesses and the<br />
decision had been made<br />
to hold the bazaaron<br />
April 10 next year.<br />
The bazaar had run<br />
since 2014 and was very<br />
well supported by the<br />
community.<br />
It was the club’s main<br />
fundraiser, last year<br />
netting around $10,000.<br />
Those profits<br />
supported anumber of<br />
projects and initiatives<br />
locally, but would not be<br />
available now.<br />
Mrs Hooper said the<br />
bazaar was usually held<br />
at the end of <strong>June</strong> and<br />
people had been asking<br />
about it.<br />
‘‘We are very happy<br />
to take donations of<br />
quality fabric, wool and<br />
craft supplies now and<br />
we can store things away<br />
until nextyear.’’<br />
Donations can be<br />
picked up or dropped<br />
off by contacting Helen<br />
(308 6088) or Joan (308<br />

Friendship club catches up<br />
By Mick Jensen<br />
It’s been along time between<br />
cups of tea and fellowship, but<br />
members of Mid Canterbury<br />
Ladies Friendship Club are<br />
meeting again.<br />
The club’s committee of 11<br />
met facetoface last week and<br />
for the first time since February<br />
26.<br />
After tea and cake and plenty<br />
of informal banter, the group<br />
talked about the resumption of<br />
regular meetings and possible<br />
future activities and outings.<br />
Adate of July 8has been set<br />
for the group’s first full postcovid<br />
gathering.<br />
Mid Canterbury Ladies<br />
Friendship Club president Avis<br />
Kingsland said members had<br />
missed not being able to get<br />
together during lockdown.<br />
They had kept in touch via<br />
telephone, and did hold any<br />
Zoom meetings, but were now<br />
delighted to be able to meet<br />
again.<br />
‘‘It’s been great to share a<br />
yarn with the committee and to<br />
be able plan things again. I’m<br />
looking forward to seeing our 80<br />
members next month at our<br />
Enjoying acatch-up and cup of tea at the recent Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club<br />
committee meeting were (from left) Ann McKay, Joy Smith, Avis Kingsland and Val Johnson.<br />

Lounge at the RSA.’’<br />
The club meets at 9.45am on<br />
the second Wednesday of the<br />
month for fun, fellowship and<br />
friendship, and was not about<br />
fundraising.<br />
The first meeting was likely to<br />
include aslot that discussed<br />
experiences during lockdown.<br />
New members were very<br />
much welcome to attend, Mrs<br />
Kingsland said.<br />
Mid Canterbury has five<br />
friendship clubs, two for men<br />
and three for women.<br />

Hundreds of kilometres cycled<br />
by the <strong>Ashburton</strong> College senior<br />
student executive resulted in<br />
donations of cash and food<br />
worth $2000 at the weekend.<br />
Fifteen members of the<br />
student exec rode, in rotation,<br />
two stationary cycles for 24<br />
hours. They were aiming to raise<br />
the profile of essential workers<br />
during Covid19 lockdown and<br />
collect donations for the<br />
Salvation Army’s foodbank.<br />
Deputy head boy Kyle<br />
Cabangun said the group<br />
received plenty of<br />
encouragement from shoppers<br />
when they cycled outside<br />
Countdown North’s store on<br />
East Street. With afew hours to<br />
go, students who had been<br />
awake for nearly the entire time<br />
were starting to flag.<br />
But guest cyclists, including<br />
English teacher Michael Clark<br />
and Rangitata MP Andrew<br />
Falloon, provided timely boosts.<br />
Spinning their wheels were (from left) Kyle Cabangun, Henry Chapman, Jonty Small, Maria<br />
Costas, Penny Stilgoe and Michael Clark.<br />

Coming back<br />
to lifeinour<br />
water zone<br />
The start of winter is usually atime<br />
when we hunker down and while<br />
there’s always work to be done, for<br />
many farmers and outdoor types it’s<br />
arelatively quiet season.<br />
But after enduring an unforeseen<br />
but necessary nationwide lockdown<br />
over autumn, things are beginning<br />
to pick up again for the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Water Zone Committee.<br />
After two months of discussions<br />
held by email, late last month our<br />
May meeting was held over Zoom,<br />
with thanks to the people at the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council who<br />
helped bring us together through<br />
technology.<br />
It was achance for us to hear<br />
about progress toward protecting<br />
and enhancing the waterways which<br />
are the lifeblood of the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
region.<br />
Flowing through the heart of our<br />
town is the Hakatere/ <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
River, and the river’s water take<br />
consent review process is ongoing.<br />
Some 90 consents to take water <br />
either directly or indirectly from<br />
the river are affected.<br />
We recognise that implementing<br />
aminimum flow regime in the river<br />
will impact some water users more<br />
than others, and while we<br />
empathise with their situation, we<br />
believe it is necessary to ensure<br />
there is areliable source of water<br />
for the environment, community<br />
By Bill Thomas,<br />
Chair of <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Water Zone Committee<br />
and consent holders. Environment<br />
Canterbury staff continue to help<br />
those affected work through their<br />
options.<br />
It was also exciting to hear aplan<br />
for Carters Creek. This waterway<br />
originates just upstream of<br />
Tinwald, flowing through the town<br />
and farmland downstream before<br />
reaching Lake Hood.<br />
Testing has shown that<br />
contamination in the water of<br />
Carters Creek is from both urban<br />
and rural sources, so acommunity<br />
effort to rehabilitate this waterway<br />
is agreat opportunity for town and<br />
country to work together.<br />
Our action plan for Carters<br />
Creek includes working with<br />
landowners on stock water access<br />
issues; continuing to identify<br />
contamination sources; and liaising<br />
with ADC, community groups and<br />
individuals on enhancement<br />
projects that meet the biodiversity<br />
objectives.<br />
The Government recently<br />
announced its Action for Healthy<br />
Waterways policy. Implications for<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> district are not clear<br />
yet, but this topic will be discussed<br />
at our next zone meeting.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Golf Club 9-holers<br />
What abeautiful morning last Thursday<br />
was 35players gathered, with some of<br />
us in top form as we made our way<br />
around the course. Val Ferrier was<br />
unbeatable, just days after celebrating<br />
her 80th birthday, and Don McLeod's<br />
putting was superb.<br />
The weeks of lockdown and<br />
restrictions disrupted our programme.<br />
(The revised programme is on the club's<br />
website.) Added to this issue, rain on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 4stopped play that day. Therefore,<br />
last week we played three competitions<br />
in one.<br />
The winners of the round three<br />
matches for Marion Marshall (Net),<br />
Jean Drummond (Putting) and Heather<br />
Smith (Stableford) Trophies were: Val<br />

Primary exports up<br />
Primary sector exports are on track<br />
to grow by $1.7 billion on last year<br />
helping underpin New Zealand’s<br />
Covid19 recovery, says agriculture<br />
minister Damien O’Connor.<br />
“Overseas consumers are now<br />
more than ever looking for healthy,<br />
New Zealandmade food. We’ve<br />
seen that with the sustained<br />
demand for fresh fruit, particularly<br />
in Europe and North America and<br />
the strong demand for red meat in<br />
China,” Mr O’Connor said.<br />
“Our farmers and growers are in<br />
astrong position to help us reboot<br />
our economy.<br />
‘‘Along with the sector, the<br />
Government is focused on creating<br />
more demand, pursuing greater<br />
market opportunities to generate<br />
higher export returns and growing<br />
rural communities with new jobs.’’<br />
In lieu of the <strong>June</strong> <strong>2020</strong> edition<br />
of the Situation and Outlook for<br />
Primary Industries (SOPI),<br />
Ministry for Primary Industries<br />
released the Economic Update for<br />
the Primary Industries, showing for<br />
the yeartodate primary industries<br />
export revenue is tracking 4.5 per<br />
cent ($1.7 billion)higher than the<br />
previous year.<br />
Dairy exports were particularly<br />
strong since the start of March, up<br />
$512 million (12 per cent)<br />
compared to the same time last<br />
year.<br />
Chinese meat imports surged in<br />
the second half of 2019. The animal<br />
protein shortage, due to the<br />
African swine fever outbreak in<br />
China, should help support prices<br />
and demand over the next year.<br />
Therewas astrongstart to the<br />
season for apple and kiwifruit<br />
exporters with revenue up $274<br />
million (<strong>18</strong> per cent) on last year<br />
since the start of March.<br />
Mr O’Connor said the report<br />
provided asnapshot of how Covid<br />
19 disrupted New Zealand’s<br />
primary industry exports.<br />

Farm software tool<br />
Overseer improved<br />
Farmers and growers will now find<br />
it easiertomodel onfarm nutrient<br />
flows after additional<br />
improvementshave been made to<br />
OverseerFM.<br />
OverseerFM, afarm<br />
management softwaretool, allows<br />
users to divide theirproperties into<br />
‘blocks’ with each block typically<br />
representing areas with similar<br />
physical characteristics and<br />
management practices.<br />
However, anew “Simplify”<br />
function in OverseerFM allows<br />
users to merge blocks with the<br />
same attributes withinasingle<br />
analysis and display onscreen.<br />
Blocks can be grouped together<br />
if they have the sameattributes<br />
such as pasture, crops and fruit or<br />
management activities such as<br />
fertiliser, effluent andanimals.<br />
AgriKids Aorangi regional winners Tabitha White, Tessa Macdonald<br />
and Edward Pottinger, of Longbeach School.<br />
Overseer Ltd chief executive Dr<br />
CarolineRead said the<br />
improvement has been made<br />
followingfeedback from<br />
subscribers.<br />
“Farmers and consultants<br />
regularly told us that the number of<br />
blocks requiredinthe old legacy<br />
softwarewas aproblem. In legacy,<br />
each block could only have one soil<br />
and up to asingleirrigator. In<br />
many cases, this resulted in<br />
analyseswith avery large number<br />
of blocks.’’<br />
It was timeconsuming and at<br />
times proved difficult to<br />
understand.<br />
“Someofthese blocksare also<br />
very small,and as such, have very<br />
little impact on the results,while<br />
still creatingacostfor maintaining<br />
the analysis.’’<br />

Circles, Bubbles and Water<br />
Over 150years ago our forebears left the Emerald Isles and the Mother Land heading<br />
across the water to the ShakyIsles. Theyleft behind them the povertyand uncertainty<br />
of lifeastheyhad known it formanyhundreds of years and setforwardwith anticipation<br />
and trepidation around the circle known as the globe to Down Under. With pioneering<br />
spirt combining intellectand sharehardwork and determination theybuiltour country<br />
generally around agricultureasweknowit today.<br />
ForSale<br />
Manylanded in good pockets of soil and harbours and in destinations that were akin<br />
to their country on the other side of the world. We hereinCanterbury were fortunate<br />
enough to have amultitude of soil typesthat areonflat land suitable forharvesting<br />
crops. Over the next 100 years New Zealandproduced the meat, fibreand grain and other<br />
produce from these soils.<br />
Fast forward100 years and we have the introduction of the borderdykeirrigation system<br />
during the 1930s whichfacilitated even more production off these flat lands. Fast forward<br />
another 50 years and the 1st well in New Zealand forirrigation wasdrilled in ourown<br />
back yard at Seafield by astutefarmer challenging ideas combinedwith scienceand<br />
again determination to change his land use. The professionals surrounding him, the<br />
thought train out of Lincoln College which he wasanold boyofand the cando attitude<br />
of the drilling crews of the day saw this to asuccessful conclusion.Iwasinvolvedinselling<br />
this farm in the 1990’s as this gentleman retired to town.<br />
Thereafterwehave water bubblingupall over the South Island suitable forgrowing all<br />
produce and taking aleadfromthis innovation that we had in our district.Originally 150<br />
years agothe onlywater was at the Rakaia, <strong>Ashburton</strong>,Hindsand Rangatatarivers and<br />
our County Councilhad implemented 26 creekstofeedthe sheep, we nowhaveprobably<br />
2600 pivot circles to feed the world. Since then other collection methods have poppedup<br />
and manylarge circles nowappear between Wanakaand Cheviot.<br />

ForSale<br />
The vegetables and production from our soils and our harnessing the intellectual property<br />
and techniques involved in establishing growing/storing and exporting from our island in<br />
the bottom of the south pacific surrounded by water is nothing but outstandingand it is<br />
attributable to the pioneering spiritthat is in our DNA.<br />
As in the circle of lifesome things don’t change as we sentprimary produce to the<br />
Mother Land we nowlook forwardtowhereour markets will be all around the globe over<br />
the next fewyears.<br />
TheCovid bubble and the shakeup which the international markets have enduredwill<br />
makeusagainlook at howand whywedothings in different markets and with different<br />
cultures. Even through Covid lockdown nothing much changed in the evolution of farm<br />
sales in New Zealand. Our mortgaging system and attention to securities which we<br />
inherited from thehomelands has allowedthe Banking system and business to continue<br />
the cash flowthroughout our society via our bubble but in large circles of trust and love.<br />
Property Brokers have been fortunateenough across New Zealand to be transacting<br />
manyofthe rural land sales in the North and South Island. Because of our soil type the<br />
circles and the waterI’m surethat ourdistrictiswell positioned to featureagain over the<br />
next while in manyofthese transactions.<br />

My patch: Mt Alford<br />
Mt Alford track is afavourite<br />
walk for Rangitata MP Andrew<br />
Falloon.<br />
Car park and access to the<br />
track is from the end of Alford<br />
Forest Settlement Road, just off<br />
Scenic Highway 72, just 30<br />
minutes from <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
The track is 4.6km in each<br />
direction, which for the return<br />
journey takes him alittle over five<br />
hours with afew stops along the<br />
way.<br />
‘‘The first hour is surrounded<br />
by luscious bush, crossing in and<br />
out of private land and<br />
Department of Conservation<br />
estate. Then comes open<br />
expanse, asteady climb through<br />
grassy areas with terrific views<br />
back over the plains and of<br />
surrounding mountains. The final<br />
hour to the summit is at times a<br />
bit rough and rocky, but you’re<br />
rewarded at the end with a<br />
stunning ridgeline walk to the<br />
peak.’’<br />
Andrew said amoderate level<br />
of fitness was required.<br />
‘‘Parts weren’t easy, and<br />
younger kids might struggle a<br />
little with the final climb to the<br />
summit.’’<br />
Dogs are not permitted.<br />
Access easements are closed<br />
from September 20 to October 20<br />
for lambing and calving.<br />
His favourite part of the track?<br />
‘‘The wander through the bush<br />
is anice way to start, and about<br />
half way up the track there is a<br />
MP Andrew Falloon on his favourite walk.<br />
picnic table with aterrific view if<br />
you are looking for an easier and<br />
shorter walk.’’<br />
He says the trickiest part of the<br />
track is at the end, rocky terrain<br />
without alot of scrub or grass.<br />
‘‘But take your time and you’ll<br />
get there.’’<br />
Andrew says there’s a<br />
fascinating history behind the<br />
track. ‘‘In <strong>18</strong>82 afellow from<br />
Christchurch claimed he’d found<br />
diamonds at Mt Alford.<br />
Unsurprisingly it started abit of a<br />
rush, with prospectors applying<br />
for 20,000 acres of land, and even<br />
Local news at www.starnews.co.nz<br />
asettlement called Diamond<br />
Town of 161 quarter acre sections<br />
planned. It all fell apart when the<br />
testing came back to confirm<br />
what was found was merely<br />
crystal.’’<br />
He says the Staveley Store, a<br />
short drive from the track car<br />
park, is agood place to stop for a<br />
treat on the way out. ‘‘Reload on<br />
calories with one of their<br />
excellent lamb sausage rolls.’’<br />

favourite track or ride. Please get in<br />

Spartans have tough first up game<br />
The Mid Canterbury Spartans head<br />
to Nelson tomorrow for atough<br />
initiation into the world of first XV<br />
rugby.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College principal<br />
Ross Preece will travel with the side,<br />
which is acombined team of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College and Mt Hutt<br />
College players.<br />
Coach Shane Enright said apreseason<br />
warmup game against a<br />
Timaru Boys’ High School side had<br />
been agreat confidence builder last<br />
weekend, but resulted in aknee<br />
injury to newlynamed captain<br />
Michael Hennings.<br />
It is likely Hennings will be out<br />
for several weeks, leaving firstfive<br />
Sam Ree to lead the team.<br />
Enright said taking on defending<br />
UC Championship winners Nelson<br />
College would be ahuge experience<br />
for his side. Many had played under<br />
16 rugby last year and were stepping<br />
up to first XV rugby as part of a<br />
rebuilding phase for schoolboy<br />
rugby in Mid Canterbury.<br />
Covid19 stopped the Spartans<br />
from holding atwoday teambuilding<br />
camp prior to the season<br />
and Enright said the trip to Nelson<br />
would also be great bonding time.<br />
The group will stay at achristian<br />
camp near Wakefield and take on<br />
Nelson, at the school, on Saturday<br />
at 11am. They will return to<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> later that night.<br />
Enright said he was pleased that<br />
the squad had stayed motivated<br />
during lockdown, posting their<br />
individual trainings to encourage<br />
others.<br />
The warmup game had been a<br />
good hitout and put their bodies to<br />
the test.<br />
Enright said the coronavirus had<br />
delivered awin in the shape of<br />
Heartland coach Jason Rickard.<br />
Rickard had been set to coach the<br />
Mid Canterbury senior<br />
representative side this season but<br />
the Heartland competition has been<br />
cancelled because of Covid19.<br />
Rickard had initially agreed to<br />
help the players improve scrum and<br />
lineout skills preseason, but he is<br />
now on board for the next 13 weeks.<br />

But atimely penalty<br />
levelled the scores and<br />
