Greek resort opens<br />

doors for tennis pro<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

Tennis pro Connor<br />

Brosnahan is defying Covid­<br />

19 and is off to Greece, on the<br />

trip of alifetime to coach<br />

tennis and see the world.<br />

Connor, an <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

College alumni, has<br />

beencoaching tennis<br />

since he was 14. His<br />

love of the sport, no doubt<br />

gleaned fromhis parents,<br />

tennis stalwarts Tonyand<br />

Jane, has already seenhim<br />

coachingoffshore, including<br />

periods in the United<br />

Kingdom.<br />

Now, aged 20, an adventurous<br />

spirithas seen the young coach<br />

jetoff this week on the trip of a<br />

lifetime, albeit amid aglobal<br />

pandemic, to coach at luxury<br />

resort Costa Navarino Greece.<br />

It will offer him insight into<br />

workinginaluxury resort,<br />

and could be astepping<br />

stonetofuture<br />

opportunities,<br />

including returning<br />

for future summer<br />

seasons.<br />

It’s an exciting<br />

but nervous<br />

time.<br />

Connor’s earlier plansto<br />

travel to the resort for the<br />

summer season were<br />

hampered by<br />

Greece’s Covid­19<br />

restrictions. But<br />

atshortnotice<br />

those plans<br />

have<br />

rematerialised<br />

after Greece<br />

announced it<br />

will reopen its<br />

borders to<br />

tourists from July<br />

1.<br />

The resort<br />

resumed itssummerseason<br />

from <strong>June</strong> 19.<br />

Surprisingly, New<br />

Zealand’s relatively<br />

Covid­freestatus<br />

means he will<br />

not haveto<br />

isolate oncehe<br />

arrives.<br />

But he is<br />

awarethat<br />

couldchange<br />

enroute.<br />

Peter’s perfect<br />

shot on 14th hole<br />

LINDA.CLARKE<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

Six months ago, PeterWalker was<br />

broodingabout asummerwith no golf.<br />

He had dislocated hisleft shoulder<br />

andbroke an arm in afall during a<br />

roundofgolf.<br />

Still on steroids andseeing the<br />

physio, he hitahole­in­one at the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Golf Club’s Brandon course<br />

last weekend.<br />

The <strong>Ashburton</strong>man was still smiling<br />

this week at the turnaround in his<br />

fortunes.<br />

Ahole­in­one is abig highlightof<br />

anygolfer’s time on the course, Peter<br />

says. He feels doubly luckybecausehe<br />

also scored one at Whangarei way<br />

back in 1988.<br />

His hole­in­one at <strong>Ashburton</strong> wason<br />

thepar 3, No 14 hole,some143 metres.<br />

With anumber 7iron, he teed off just<br />

right, hooking from righttoleft.<br />

The ball landed in the lateafternoon<br />

shadow of the trees. ‘‘That<br />

was close,’’ one of hisgolfingfoursome<br />

said.<br />

Peterwas less optimistic,thinkingit<br />

had rolledover the backof thegreen.<br />

“Everyonehad their shotand<br />

walked up to the green, and the ball<br />

was nowhere.” He rushed up to the<br />

hole and there it was.<br />

Handshakesand high­fiveswith his<br />

partner Paul Mayand fellowgolfers<br />

Steve Vivian and Charlie Alexander<br />

followed. All are golfers with singlefigure<br />

handicapsand appreciated the<br />

occasion.<br />

Peter, who has a3handicap, said it<br />

was aturning pointintheir match,<br />

with he and Paul going on to beat<br />

Steve and Charlie. He shouted them a<br />

beer afterwards.<br />

be on to Athens in Greece.<br />

Connor onlyheard his flight to<br />

hours before leavinghome.<br />

He is excited aboutthe<br />

opportunities ahead of him,but<br />

old clubs.<br />

He was amemberofthe Hamilton<br />

Golf Club until moving to Mid<br />

Canterbury in 2008, where he and wife<br />

Marilyn ownedand operated the<br />

Netherby Four Square. He didn’tplay<br />

much golf for eight years, working long<br />

hoursatthe supermarket.<br />

Peter retiredthree years ago and<br />

now plays three times aweek. It was<br />

devastating last September when he<br />

fell,dislocating hisshoulderand<br />

breaking hisarm in three places.<br />

He was out of golf for three months,<br />

including Christmasand NewYear.<br />

Then Covid­19 putpaidtogolf for<br />

severalmoremonths.<br />

Peter says theaccident has affected<br />

his golf swing and he is still needs<br />

physio and steroidinjections as he<br />

workstoward afull recovery.<br />

Saturday’s shot was abonus.<br />

nervousabout border restrictionsand<br />

travel uncertainties, rather than<br />

Covid­19.<br />

The resort, which hastwo five­star<br />

deluxe hotels andtwo signature golf<br />

courses, hassummer<strong>2020</strong>protocols in<br />

place, to dealwithCovid­19, including<br />

regular temperature checks for<br />

people entering theresort, extended<br />

distancing limits and additional staff<br />

to allowfor astaff to guest ratioof1:1.<br />

The resort also hasaspa and<br />

Community<br />

info centre<br />

for tourists<br />

The Methven i­Site visitor centre<br />

closes its doors tomorrow and from<br />

July 1will be replaced with anew<br />

community information centre.<br />

Aimed at both tourists and<br />

Methven residents, the information<br />

centre will be run through an<br />

agreement between the Mt Hutt<br />

Memorial Hall Board and <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

District Council.<br />

It will operate from the same<br />

location as the i­Site, the Mt Hutt<br />

Memorial Hall.<br />

The decision to close the i­Sitewas<br />

made by Experience Mid Canterbury<br />

because of declining visitor numbers<br />

and the ongoing impact of Covid­19.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council chief<br />

executive Hamish Riach said he was<br />

pleased aviable solution had been<br />

found so quickly.<br />

‘‘Methven has many great offerings<br />

for visitors andisacentral<br />

component of MidCanterbury<br />

tourism.<br />

‘‘The Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Board<br />

are passionate about their town, and<br />

we are really impressed with their<br />

enthusiasm to come on board and<br />

deliver this new service.’’<br />

The arrangement meantthat<br />

Methven's tourism and information<br />

service would remain in local hands<br />

with local knowledge.<br />

The community information centre<br />

is expected to operate from 10am<br />

until 4pm seven days aweek.<br />

Online bookings will no longer be<br />

part of the service, but can be made<br />

via local travel agents.<br />

The Experience Mid Canterbury<br />

board will review the new service<br />

after four months, when the ski<br />

season is over, to assess its<br />

effectiveness and identify any areas<br />

of improvement to further support<br />

the town.<br />

padel (think doublessquash on an<br />

cultural activities and five­star<br />

services. Tennis is played on clay<br />

Longbeach School sent three<br />

studentstoseekareduced<br />

speed limit outside their school<br />

this week and theydidn’t mince<br />

their words.<br />

You’ll have blood on your<br />

hands if youleavethe speed<br />

limit at 100km/h,the three told<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>District Councillors<br />

about five timestheir age.<br />

Freya Jemmett, Taylor<br />

Lamont and Yasmin Larry are<br />

Year8 students at Longbeach<br />

and they canhear the speeding<br />

drivers on Longbeach Road.<br />

The schoolhas been trying<br />

for 11 years to have the speed<br />

limit reduced and now council<br />

has proposed ahost of speed<br />

limit changes in the district and<br />

government is also planning<br />

60km/h limits outside rural<br />

schools and 40km/h limits<br />

outside townschools.<br />

The students told councillors<br />

to be early adopters and reduce<br />

the speed limit outside their<br />

school now.<br />

Principal Neil Simons said it<br />

wasn’t just Longbeach, all<br />

schools in the district needed<br />

drivers to slow down when they<br />

passed aschool.<br />

The girls had done their<br />

homework before they spoke to<br />

councillors. They said it would<br />

take98metres for acar to stop<br />

in an emergency if the driver<br />

was doing 100km/h; 122minthe<br />

wet.Atruckwould take longer<br />

to stop.<br />

By comparison acar doing<br />

40km/h would need26m to stop,<br />

or 45m if it was doing 60km/h.<br />

“Which do you think is the<br />

rightspeed past aschool,” they<br />

asked councillors meeting to<br />

hear submissions on the<br />

proposal speed limit changes.<br />

Around 200 submissions were<br />

received when council<br />

consulted on its proposals.<br />

Councillors spent Monday<br />

afternoon makingdecisions<br />

that willbethe subject of a<br />

report to full council and<br />

adopted around the end of<br />

August.<br />

Young lives matter was the<br />

message sentloud and clear by<br />

Longbeach School.<br />

Around 140 studentsattend<br />

Longbeach and their board of<br />

trustees alsobacked the girls’<br />

message.<br />

Principal Simonssaidthe<br />

intersection of BoundaryRoad<br />

and Longbeach Road had<br />

already been the sceneoftwo<br />

fatal accidents and students<br />

and staff regularly heardand<br />

saw near misses. Roading<br />

TaylorLamont (left), Freya Jemmettand Yasmin Larry wantthe<br />

speed limit lowered outsidetheirschool.<br />

reports had identified the area<br />

as high riskbecause of its open<br />

speed limit andlow visibility.<br />

“This is achance for the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Councilto<br />

be leaders around the country<br />

and step up and get ahead of<br />

the proposed national changes<br />

and make changes across the<br />

district around schools,” he<br />

said.<br />

Several other schools made<br />

submissions for reduced speed<br />

outside their schools.<br />

Traffic issues<br />

in busy Lochlea<br />

Hanrahan Street resident Ken Leadley wants<br />

apedestriancrossing on his street to make life<br />

safer for the people wholive, work or pass<br />

throughthe Lochlea subdivision.<br />

Mr Leadley saysschoolchildren, adult<br />

exercisers andolderpeople with walker<br />

frames use the footpathswhile Lochlea<br />

lifestyle resort residents, resthome workers<br />

and others who live on Charlesworth Drive<br />

District Council’sproposal to drop the speed<br />

limit from50km/h to 30km/h.<br />

It has become abusyarea and Hanrahan<br />

He says the speed limit reductionshould be<br />

the first of severalroad safety improvements<br />

in thearea.Hewants apedestrian crossing on<br />

Hanrahan Street neartheresthome, stopsigns<br />

for traffic exiting the gated community, white<br />

lines to keep traffic in their laneand afix for<br />

the dead­end footpath.<br />

Four times in the past three years he has<br />

picked up someone fragile after fallinginthe<br />

area.<br />

Cynthia Youngalso made aplea for<br />

footpaths and kerbing on RacecourseRoad<br />

and Allens Road. Shealso advocatedfor the<br />

new proposed 50km/h zoneonRacecourse<br />

Road to be extendedwest as far as FarmRoad.<br />

Subdivisions in the area were under wayand<br />

more traffic would be generated,she said.<br />

Six years ago she wrote to councilabout<br />

creating footpaths in the area and was told 15<br />

years whenresidential sections were filled in.<br />

“We arenot faraway from that now an it has<br />

onlybeen six years.”<br />

The speed limit review includes reducing<br />

the speed in the CBD from50km/h to 30km/h.<br />

The reduction wassupported by the New<br />

Zealand Transport Agency butnot welcomed<br />

byothers, many suggesting 40km/h wouldbe<br />

more realistic.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Menz Shed president<br />

Jim Armstrong said theshedwas a<br />

busy place again andthe<br />

camaraderie was good.<br />

Members had been back alittle<br />

over three weeksand between 14 and<br />

18 men were comingalong on shed<br />

open days on Tuesday,Wednesday<br />

and Thursday.<br />

Theshed has amembership of 75<br />

and is oneofthe biggest and most<br />

productive in the South Island.<br />

Jobs often camethe way of the<br />

shed,rather than shed members<br />

lookingfor work.<br />

‘‘Wehaveafew income streams<br />

and the money that is generatedis<br />

criticalfor helping to keep us afloat.’’<br />

He said shed members had alot of<br />

knowledge and skills and enjoyed<br />

sharing ideas and advice with each<br />

other.<br />

Projects were often tackled in<br />

groups and anumber of<br />

collaborations had benefited the<br />

community over the past few years.<br />

Jobs to be done and projects on the<br />

go are listed on agiantwhite board<br />

and the list is building again.<br />

Callfor slower<br />

LakeHood speed<br />

LINDA.CLARKE<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

Lake Hood residents have<br />

made apassionateplea for a<br />

speed decrease in traffic<br />

entering their water paradise.<br />

Lake Hood Avenue, which<br />

takes traffic from Stranges<br />

Road through lifestyle blocks<br />

before heading to the water’s<br />

edge, is one of afew roads the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council has<br />

suggested for aspeed limit rise.<br />

The early part of the avenue<br />

is 70km/h, but council is<br />

proposing to raise that to 80km/<br />

h. Residents want60km/h.<br />

John Skevington said the<br />

avenue had continual bends<br />

and adifficult camber that<br />

made vehicles hard to control<br />

at 80km/h. Nick George said<br />

there was no room for error<br />

even travelling at 70km/h. Jane<br />

Pearce said she would be<br />

happier with alimit of 50km/h<br />

because of the people and<br />

animals in the area.<br />

Mr George said therewould<br />

be more accidents and<br />

potentially deaths by raising<br />

the speedlimit. He had seen<br />

two crashes in the past 18<br />

months and other vehicles<br />

fishtail as they sped through.<br />

He said many carsalso pulled<br />

over on the side of the road in<br />

that area to check boats. Mrs<br />

Pearce said many other drivers<br />

pulled over at the spot to check<br />

their cellphones as they<br />

suddenly got reception.<br />

People who live on Grahams<br />

Road also had complaints<br />

about the speedoftraffic on the<br />

way to the lake.<br />

Bridget Kok,who had the<br />

support of 14 other residents,<br />

said the speed limit should go<br />

from 50km/h in Tinwald to<br />

80km/h for aperiod before<br />

becoming 100km/h.<br />

She said drivers hit the<br />

accelerator as soon as they got<br />

past Grove Streetand that<br />

meant residents on either side<br />

of GrahamsRoad had to take<br />

extra care entering or exiting<br />

their driveways.<br />

“When council put up the<br />

enormous 100km signs at the<br />

beginning of Grahams Road,<br />

the pressure seemedtobeonto<br />

immediately do 100km and not<br />

to slow down until you reached<br />

your destination. We have had<br />

several near misses in our own<br />

driveway.”<br />

Wilkins Road resident Frank<br />

Pinion also madeaplea for<br />

motorists and truckdrivers to<br />

go slower on his street.He<br />

suggested speedbumps to keep<br />

speeds down.<br />

He said his cat Lucy had been<br />

run down and laterdied after<br />

being hit by a“low­flying” car.<br />

Council will spend about<br />

$15,000 fencing offa<br />

anew motorcycle track<br />

$50,000 was aworst case<br />

Council had to fence off the<br />

donga because is was a<br />

health and safety risk for the<br />

motorcyclists who used it.<br />

The partieshave found an<br />

undulating piece of land<br />

nearbythat could<br />

accommodate amotorcycle<br />

track, but it has vulnerable<br />

plants and skink that needto<br />

be protected.<br />

About $20,000 could be<br />

needed for alizard permit<br />

$15,000 for lizard salvage if<br />

required if thetrack goes<br />

ahead. Underthe Wildlife<br />

Act,apermit is needed to<br />

develop the site dueto<br />

potential adverse effectson<br />

passionate about hisfish and gets<br />

regulartip offs as to what’s available<br />

at the Christchurchfish auction. He<br />

travelsnorth afew times aweektoget<br />

the fresh catch.<br />

While bluecod remained abig<br />

customer favourite, there was abroad<br />

range of fish to tempt diners, said Mr<br />

McDonald.<br />

The fish catch was seasonal and<br />

neededtobeabsolutely fresh,<br />

preparedand right cookedright.<br />

Fishwas ‘‘thetop ingredientinand<br />

the top ingredient out’’, he said.<br />

Mr McDonald has fishinginhis<br />

His father was afisherman from<br />

Scotlandand jumped ship when in<br />

the navy and arrived in New Zealand<br />

after the war.<br />

‘‘My family had day boatsand<br />

trawlers, butsold thelastofthose<br />

interests in 1992,’’ Mr McDonald said.<br />

He had done some fishdealing here<br />

as ayoung man, beforeheading<br />

overseas to work in the capital<br />

markets, acareer he followed for 30<br />

years.<br />

He and his wife Anna, aRussianborn<br />

lawyer,shifted back to New<br />

anew chapterin their lives.<br />

Having returned to his piscatorial<br />

roots, Mr McDonald sources thefish<br />

andruns the kitchen at Docks, while<br />

his wife overseas the restaurant side.<br />

There were few fish restaurants<br />

around the country, and he believed<br />

there was enough demand in<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> for his.<br />

Docks, located at the Allenton<br />

Shopping Centre, is open six days and<br />

onlyclosed on Fridays. It offers a<br />

special lunch for Gold Card holders<br />

Supplementary<br />

plates and mud<br />

When carrying bikes on the back,<br />

your number plate is often wholly<br />

or at least partially obscured.<br />

Iwas lucky enough years ago to<br />

be warned at Stoke, coming back<br />

from the Nelson January camping<br />

pilgrimage, and agreed with the<br />

very pleasant traffic officer that I<br />

would spread the word about<br />

fines for number plates covered<br />

by bikes.<br />

The answer is asupplementary<br />

plate, for around $30, strapped on<br />

to abike or the bike rack and in<br />

plain sight.<br />

Ialso wonder about the large<br />

4WDs with oversize tyres and the<br />

80 per cent plus mud cover as a<br />

possible badge of honour. Ihave<br />

seen several of these locally over<br />

the years, but not one with a<br />

visible number plate.<br />

Iguess bikes or mud, make you<br />

apossible contender for the $100<br />

fine.<br />

Imanaged to find the site and<br />

buy aplate, so Iguess anyone can!<br />

By­the­by you don't own the<br />

supplementary plates, your car<br />

does. So, when selling avehicle,<br />

the supplementary plates goes<br />

with it. However, If you have a<br />

Avehicle showing good use of a<br />

supplementary plate.<br />

personalised plate, then<br />

swapping it to the new vehicle<br />

allows you to keep your SP. Don't<br />

risk it, invest!<br />

Children’s art highlights environment<br />

Phoenix Preschool pupils have<br />

beenlearning about saving the<br />

environment. This week they<br />

showed their environment<br />

poster artto<strong>Ashburton</strong> Art<br />

Gallery’s Simone Barnesdale.<br />

Theart was avisualdisplay of<br />

what they had learnedaspart<br />

of their kaitiakitanga study into<br />

guardianshipofculture, the<br />

environment and people. The<br />

children’s messages included<br />

waystoprotect the planet by<br />

reducing waste and putting<br />

rubbish into bins rather than<br />

throwing it away.<br />

Thepreschoolers have seen<br />

video footage of Auckland Zoo’s<br />

turtle rescue programme,<br />

rainforest trees andthe value of<br />

acoral reef and, in groups,<br />

created posters about whatthey<br />

havelearned.<br />

Ms Barnesdale chattedtothe<br />

children about their creations,<br />

which includedplastic,<br />

situated 12.5km from the<br />

Methven township, at the end of<br />

McLennans Bush Road.<br />

She says the reserve offersa<br />

wide range of walks for all<br />

abilities.<br />

The Alder and Opuke walks<br />

are loop tracks suitablefor<br />

families and average fitness.<br />

‘‘During spring the<br />

rhododendrons at the reserve<br />

are spectacular and wortha<br />

visit,even for non­walkers.’’<br />

The most challenging part is<br />

the walk to Scotts Saddle, which<br />

startsfrom the reserve and<br />

climbssteeplytothe top of a<br />

ridge throughbeech forest.<br />

After the firsthour it opens on to<br />

tussock and shingle screesto<br />

the saddle.<br />

The walk requires a<br />

reasonable standard of fitness,<br />

good footwearand walking<br />

poles make progress easier.<br />

‘‘I have planned to walk to<br />

ScottsSaddle several times but<br />

have been beaten by the<br />

How to getthere: 12.5km from<br />

Height: 1134m<br />

Distance: 13.85km<br />

Time: 5to5 1 ⁄2hours<br />

weather ... usually the nor’ west<br />

wind, whichcan be very strong<br />

in this area,especially on the<br />

open slopes.<br />

‘‘Finally, last week, we made<br />

it to our destination after<br />

negotiatingour way through ice<br />

and snow which had fallenafew<br />

days earlier.’’<br />

After reaching the saddle the<br />

group made the decision to walk<br />

down the ski field access road as<br />

the track was slippery in places.<br />

This madethe walk longer but<br />

safer in the conditions.<br />

Maree’strackermeasured the<br />

elevation at 1134m at the<br />

highest part of the track and the<br />

length of the walk 13.85km.<br />

The walk took between5to 5 1 ⁄2<br />

hours with generous stops for<br />

morningtea and lunch to enjoy<br />

the spectacular viewsofthe<br />

plains,surrounding hills and<br />

Mount Hutt.Ingood conditions<br />

the walk wouldbequicker if<br />

returning back down through<br />

Awa Awa Reserve.<br />

For thosewithout the time to<br />

go all the way to the saddle<br />

there is aseat just above the<br />

bush line where on aclear day<br />

there are great views over the<br />

plains to BanksPeninsula and<br />

down to Timaru.This takes<br />

about 1to1 1 ⁄4hours.<br />

‘‘The trickiest part of the track<br />

at this time of yearwas arocky<br />

outcropjust before the seat<br />

which does not see the sun and<br />

any moisture stays frozen.<br />

‘‘I would liketodothe walk<br />

again duringsummer to see<br />

what was under the snow.’’<br />

Mayor fumes over quarantine bungles<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> mayor Neil Brown<br />

has blastedgovernment and the<br />

Ministry of Health for their<br />

handling of new arrivals in<br />

quarantine,saying the country<br />

cannot afford anotherwave of<br />

Covid­19.<br />

News of people being allowed<br />

to leave quarantine without a<br />

covid test and other breaches of<br />

managed isolation rules have<br />

been emerging.<br />

Mr Brown said Mid<br />

Canterbury’s team of 34,000had<br />

done agreat job, but that was<br />

being jeopardised by the<br />

handling of new arrivals at the<br />

border, including the two UK<br />

women grantedcompassionate<br />

leave to visit adying parent.<br />

They drove fromAuckland to<br />

Wellington, but stopped and<br />

hadclose contact withan<br />

acquaintance.<br />

PM Jacinda Ardern has since<br />

suspended compassionate<br />

leave and askedthe militaryto<br />

oversee those in quarantine<br />

and managed isolation after<br />

arriving in the country.<br />

Mr Brown said people were<br />

nowlearning of one not breach,<br />

butseveral.<br />

‘‘It is disgusting.Wecan’t do<br />

level 4again. It will cost<br />

hundredsofmillions or billions<br />

of dollars once this is over and<br />

it won’t be our children, but our<br />

grandchildren, who repay the<br />

debt.’’<br />

He said the people of Mid<br />

Canterbury had made many<br />

social sacrifices during the<br />

fight against Covid­19 and<br />

others hadlost their jobs and<br />

businesses.<br />

‘‘Some have lost their<br />

livelihoods. There has been<br />

sacrifice and all for the greater<br />

cause.’’<br />

Like others, he believed<br />

Covid­19 had been beaten in<br />

New Zealand.<br />

While the Ministry of Health<br />

had done good work earlier, it<br />

was now letting theteam down<br />

on border control, he said.<br />

‘‘Government needs to step<br />

up and do this job properly.<br />

Theyhave let us down just<br />

lately.’’<br />

The mayor said <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

district, with its agricultural<br />

and manufacturing base,and<br />

domestic tourism, waswellplaced<br />

to survive.‘‘We earn<br />

overseas dollarsfor our<br />

economy, which is our success.<br />

We willbethe first to comeout<br />

of this as long as the politicians<br />

do what they should.’’<br />

Mr Brown anddistrict<br />

councillors voted today to<br />

suspend theirspecial Covid­19<br />

response committee, whichhas<br />

metweekly since late March.<br />

MumJane Argyle­Reed, whowas<br />

‘‘Thank you all for your<br />

contributions over the last<br />

period of time in lockdown,’’ he<br />

told his fellow elected<br />

councillors. ‘‘Wehave done<br />

things we never have before,<br />

learned new stuff, zoomed,<br />

learned new computer skills.’’<br />

weekly Zoom meetings had<br />

Message From ThePrincipal<br />

Return to ‘Normality’<br />

This pastweekhas felt increasingly like areturnto<br />

normality. Many of our school-based face-to-face<br />

meetings have returned. Many of us have come<br />

to appreciate theefficiencyofZoom Conferences,<br />

but our natural desire for human interaction has<br />

lured us back into theinter-personal format.<br />

Academic Blues Awards<br />

This week andnextisour chancetocelebratethe academicperformance<br />

of the 2019Year 11 and 12 students.Traditionally we have acknowledged<br />

this in frontofthe whole College with our Academic Blues Ceremony, on<br />

the Chessboard,atthe end of Term One.<br />

The COVID situation naturally forced postponement ofthis. Toensure<br />

that winter doesn’t disrupt this event, these ceremonies will happen<br />

but inour Auditorium on ayear-group basis with parents of prizewinners<br />

also invited. Yesterday weacknowledged theYear 12 students<br />

who achieved highly last year, and next week on 01 July (at 12:30pm)<br />

we will acknowledge our Year 13 students who achieved highly last<br />

year. Congratulations to all those gaining recognition. These will be<br />

highlightedineach of our forthcoming newsletters.<br />

Senior Students and Exam Qualifications<br />

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) has acknowledged<br />

the impact that the seven-week lockdown may have had on students<br />

undertaking NCEA levels.<br />

Accordingly NZQA has arranged a number of compensatory<br />

mechanisms to ensurethatthis year’s studentsaren’tdisadvantagedby<br />

the events outsideoftheir control. These areparticularly importantfor<br />

our Year 13 studentswho arestudying towards University Entrance. The<br />

minimum pass mark has traditionally been set at 14+ credits in at least<br />

threeUniversityEntrancelist-approvedsubjects. Asarecognition of the<br />

impactofCOVID-19 this has been adjusted to thestudents needing 12+<br />

credits in aminimumofthree subjects (for this year).<br />

This is ahuge stress relief for many ofour students and staff, and a<br />

recognition that the students have missed approximately 20% oftheir<br />

normal teaching time. There are also mechanisms to compensate the<br />

Level1and 2students,but these arequitecomplex andwill be applied<br />

In Januarybeforethe results arereleased.<br />

WinterSportsCodes<br />

Another major marker in our return to normality isthe welcome return<br />

of winter sports codes. Once again, we have boys’ and girls’ hockey,<br />

netball, rugby, football and basketball teams all competing in local,<br />

TimaruorChristchurch competitions.<br />

Aweek ago our 1st XV Boys’Rugby team had awarm-up game against<br />

TimaruBoys’ High School 2nd XV team, andthere wouldhavebeen 500<br />

people on the side-lines,sopeople arekeen to be playing and watching<br />

again. Ihopetosee all our teamsinaction at some stagenextterm.<br />

Term HolidayBreak<br />

Next week is our scheduled July holiday break and I’m encouraging<br />

teachers also to have a great break because our last ‘holidays’<br />

disappeared with preparation foron-linelearning andaconstantdeluge<br />

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH<br />

Year 12 Business Studies Class Entrepreneurs<br />

Last Thursday, 18 <strong>June</strong>, young entrepreneurs from the Year 12 Business<br />

Studies class held their market day, during acold and wetlunchtime. Despite<br />

the freezing conditions,business wasbrisk and students enjoyedthe hotfood<br />

options offered by these businesses.<br />

The three groups involved have worked hard onBusiness Plans throughout<br />

the term and this mahi (work) culminatedinselling hot dogs,loaded wedges<br />

and sausages at school.<br />

The AshColl Snag Group was motivated to support Motor Neuron Disease<br />

New Zealand,after theirCEO lost afamily member to thisdebilitatingdisease.<br />

They were able to donate $48.75 of their sales to this charity.<br />

Street Meat produced American Hot Dogs and,despitesome technical issues<br />

with power, they sold sixty hot dogs and donated$36.40tothe SPCA.<br />

Terry TN’s produced loaded wedges which were extremely popular with<br />

customers,and they struggled to keepupwith demand. However,theymade<br />

asmall profit and donated$24.00 to the Christchurch Mosque Attack Victims.<br />

Teacher KirstyMoffett said thatthe students thoroughly enjoyedtheirmarket<br />

day and are looking forward tomaking some changes and improvements to<br />

their Business Plans fortheir second market daynextterm.<br />

TheAshColl Way–StudentGroup<br />

From time-to-time we have highlighted the<br />

AshColl Way, being the Values by which we<br />

want staff and students to operate in their daily<br />

interactions and representation of <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

College.<br />

The AshColl Way is represented through our<br />

Values of Pride - Manawa Whakahi, Quality -<br />

Ako Pai and Respect -Whakaute, as promoted<br />

through therelated logos.<br />

To add tothis, agroup ofYear 9and 10 students<br />

areworking,with facilitation by DeputyHead Girl<br />

Maria Costas, onways to further promote these<br />

Values to the College community. Teacher James Aulsfordworkswith this group<br />

as required,and is the students’ ‘go-to’ person.<br />

This group, having reconvened inthe last fortnight following lockdown, meets<br />

weekly to share ideas and prepare information. The intent ofthis group being<br />

Year 9and Year 10 students is that they can continuethis mahi (work) forward<br />

and theninclude anextgroup of youngerstudents.<br />

They have initiated their Mihi Pai notebooks where they can record Mihi Pai<br />

issued to studentswho displaythe College’sexpectedpositivebehaviours. The<br />

group is devising asystemtoensure thatnot onlythe recipients of thehighest<br />

number of Mihi Pai receive aprize. Aseries of other ideas are on the table,<br />

including videos and voice-over options, working with teachers to incorporate<br />

ideassuggested from them and teaching an AshColl WayDance.<br />

has designed for use around the College, to add to the more formal ones already<br />

School 1st XI, with first-game nerves atahigh level, and AshColl was down<br />

by 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. However the team settled in the second<br />

quarter foranil-all quarter outcome. This improvementcontinued into thethird<br />

quarter with AshColl starting to dominate,with Angel Spooner getting atouch<br />

to the ball and scoring AshColl’s first goal. Angel repeated this, with asecond<br />

goalinthe lastseconds of thegame in quarter four,which AshColl dominated.<br />

Lauren Peterson<br />

Young mum<br />

loves to help<br />

Being abusy young mum is no barrier to<br />

volunteering for Volunteering Mid and<br />

South Canterbury and the Hotel <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Volunteer of the Month –Lauren Peterson.<br />

Lauren was nominated by both Whanau<br />

Awhina Plunket and the Hakatere Multi­<br />

Cultural Council/Newcomers Network.<br />

She is an ideal recipient as her award<br />

comes during National Volunteer Week,<br />

which celebrates the benefit of working<br />

together and how communities are stronger<br />

when working together.<br />

Even though she is afull­time mum,<br />

juggling the needs of her own family, she still<br />

manages time to volunteer and support<br />

other young families in Mid Canterbury.<br />

Lauren began volunteering with Plunket<br />

in September 2017. She joined as avolunteer<br />

cleaner for the Hinds Plunket Rooms, and<br />

now has alead role supporting the hosting of<br />

the <strong>Ashburton</strong> parents coffee session. The<br />

group meets at the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Plunket<br />

Centre every Wednesday morning.<br />

The group is jointly organised by Plunket<br />

and Hakatere Multi­Cultural Council and<br />

Lauren is always keen to help out in other<br />

areas where needed.<br />

Lauren really enjoys volunteering<br />

because not only is she giving and helping<br />

others but she gains alot too, especially the<br />

social connections and friendships with<br />

other young mums.<br />

Her role at the coffee morning is one<br />

Lauren describes as simple but it is avery<br />

important and necessary role. She helps set<br />

up the morning tea, welcomes those<br />

attending and keeps an eye on people new to<br />

the group to ensure they feel included,<br />

chatting with attendees and then helping<br />

with clean up afterwards.<br />

Lauren said she was surprised at how easy<br />

it was to volunteer. She enjoys the hostess<br />

role as she can take her children and it<br />

doesn’t take up alot of her time; the<br />

volunteer cleaning role allows her some<br />

flexibility to do, so it works with her other<br />

activities.<br />

She would most certainly encourage other<br />

people to volunteer and believes there is a<br />

volunteering opportunity available for most<br />

people.<br />

As well as being acoffee morning hostess<br />

and cleaning, Lauren also gives her time as<br />

part of the Breastfeeding Support Group,<br />

where she has acoffee and chat with other<br />

mums, sharing their experiences.<br />

Lauren plans to continue volunteering in<br />

the future and likes that she is not locked<br />

into the role for life. She suspects that as her<br />

children grow the groups she gets involved<br />

with will change.<br />

Longbeach School pupils<br />

Aiden Smollett,LiamLash<br />

and Milli Pottingertook out<br />

second place in the <strong>2020</strong><br />

AgriKids Grand Final last<br />

week.<br />

The trio, aged from Year 5<br />

to Year 7, entered the<br />

competition, run online,<br />

under the name AgriSeeds<br />

and were happy withtheir<br />

performance butvowedtodo<br />

better next year.<br />

Millisays their agritask<br />

farm creationduringthe<br />

competition was ‘‘pretty<br />

chaotic’’ but it made alasting<br />

impression with its macaroni<br />

sheep.<br />

And they all agree they got<br />

more nervous duringthe final<br />

Face Off as one ofthe topfive<br />

in thecompetition. It was<br />

mostly because family<br />

members were around for the<br />

online quizand the<br />

competition was heating up.<br />

The pupils now have ayear<br />

to fine tune their agri skills<br />

with all three keentoenter<br />

again.<br />

The competition was won<br />

by BlueMountain College’s<br />

West OtagoRams made up of<br />

Charlie Ottrey,Dylan Young<br />

and Riley Hill. It was their<br />

first grand final.<br />

The trio said the day was<br />

fun but also challenging.<br />

“It was abit hard dealing<br />

with all thetechnology,”said<br />

Riley.<br />

We’re good food growers<br />

So far so goodasfar as winter<br />

goes­reasonably mild, dry<br />

ground conditions andgreat<br />

feed utilisation has givena<br />

fantastic leg up on whatisa<br />

tightfeed budget locally and<br />

across the wider Canterbury<br />

region.<br />

In MidCanterbury we have<br />

faredmuch betterthanthe<br />

rest of NewZealandduring<br />

this growing seasonwith<br />

devastatingdrought in the<br />

North Island andthe top of<br />

the South Island, and the<br />

direct opposite with floods<br />

andcontinual wetweather<br />

further south.<br />

It has meant we havebeen<br />

able to supply locally grown<br />

stockfeed to other farmers<br />

rightacross NewZealand.<br />

It’s ablessing to liveina<br />

dynamic anddiverse district<br />

thatlargely built its fortunes<br />

on an evolving farming<br />

economically to our<br />

residents.<br />

Aiden Smollett, Milli Pottinger and Liam Lash placed second in<br />

the AgriKids national final.<br />

Three South Island<br />

regional finals and the grand<br />

finalwereall forced to either<br />

be cancelled or movedonline<br />

when government<br />

restrictions aroundevents<br />

started coming into place in<br />

NewZealand Young<br />

FarmersCEO Lynda<br />

Coppersmith said hosting the<br />

event onlinefor the firsttime<br />

createdsome new challenges.<br />

“Workingwithtwo contests,<br />

35 teams, 12sponsors, 14<br />

modulesaswell as the other<br />

tasks was ahuge logistical<br />

undertaking. It took alot of<br />

things to fall in to place,alot<br />

of people to make it workand<br />

areallystrict timeframe,”<br />

she said.<br />

“The events team has done<br />

the most amazing job to pull<br />

this off andIcannot thank<br />

them enough, along with our<br />

sponsor family forall the<br />

hardwork theyput in to make<br />

Once our youngpeople<br />

considered the bestpart of<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> wasthe road outta<br />

wide rangeofcareer<br />

opportunities and lifestyle<br />

choices.<br />

Iwouldcontendthat much<br />

of thatprosperity has its<br />

foundations,directly and<br />

indirectlyinagricultural<br />

production.<br />

In anattempt to control or<br />

limit the spreadofCovid­19,<br />

we have trashed our<br />

economy,the effectsofwhich<br />

many are still blissfully<br />

unaware, and willcontinue<br />

to be until wage subsidy<br />

moneyruns out andthe<br />

brutal forceofrecession<br />

whacksusall on the nose.<br />

Even with somevery<br />

optimistic assumptionsof<br />

when the borderwillopen to<br />

tourists, whichgiven the<br />

challenges seen this weekof<br />

even trying to repatriate<br />

Kiwis home fromoffshore,<br />

would seemtobeunrealistic<br />

both events happenand run<br />

seamlessly.”<br />

The 21 AgriKidsgrand final<br />

teams (topthree from each<br />

regional final)wenthead to<br />

head on Friday in aseries of<br />

modules and tasks as well as<br />

an exam forthe GrandFinal.<br />

They completed afood<br />

takes to feed different<br />

animals, matched up<br />

They also completeda<br />

South<br />

Canterbury<br />

farmer Colin<br />

Hurst is the new<br />

chairperson of<br />

the Federated<br />

Farmers Arable<br />

Industry Group,<br />

bringing wide<br />

experience and<br />

an<br />

acknowledged<br />

reputation for<br />

hard work,<br />

tenacity and leadership to the<br />

role.<br />

Colin, the 2019 Arable Farmer of<br />

the Year, was elected at the<br />

group’s AGM this week for athreeyear<br />

term. He replaces Karen<br />

Williams, who is national vicepresident<br />

elect.<br />

As well as following his interest<br />

in science and innovation driving<br />

improved production and alighter<br />

environmental footprint, Colin is<br />

keen to lift the profile of the<br />

arable sector among consumers<br />

and fellow farmers. Sales of<br />

arable production and spending<br />

generated by the industry<br />

contributed $863 million to GDP in<br />

2018.<br />

‘‘Most people know we produce<br />

cereal grains used in bread and a<br />

host of other staples, and all the<br />

malting barley needed by our<br />

brewers, but we also grow the<br />

pasture seeds essential to our<br />

livestock farmers, not to mention<br />

brassicas and other feed crops,<br />

and seed production for domestic<br />

and international markets.’’<br />

The arable industry’s export<br />

receipts were forecast to hit<br />

$260m in the financial year just<br />

ended, a10.2 per cent increase.<br />
