Long journey to new skatepark MICK.JENSEN @ashburtoncourier.co.nz A13year journey will be realisedonSaturday when Methven’s brandnew skatepark is officially unveiled. Theimpressive park featuresridewalls,skate bowls and other challenges and is located on council land on thecorner of Bank and McMillan streets. The public openingtakes places at 1pm. Andspecialmemorial tree willbeplanted at 11.30am in memory of the late KenLowe, an early, passionate supporter of the project. Theskate parkproject has been adream driven by Kidz Methven since 2007. Kidz MethvenchairLiz McMillan said the finished project exceeded expectations, but hadbeen along timeinthe making. ‘‘It’s agreat facility and somethingthat we as a committee are reallyvery proudof.’’ Founding committee members SallyAnn Kircherand Tania Sheridanwere still involved afterall these yearsand deserved alot of credit. Shesaid the project had lost momentum for awhile, but fundraisinghad ramped up three years ago when an incorporated society had been formed. Ms McMillansaidaround $130,000 has beenraised for the project and the builders had ‘‘gone above andbeyond’’onit. Therehad also been good community support, including at arecent plantingday. Donations for the project have beenreceivedfrom Advance Ashburton, New Zealand Community Trust, MidandSouth Canterbury Trust, Mackenzie Charitable Foundationand MethvenLions. In early 2000 there wasa popular indoor skatepark in Methven, but the privatelyowned venuewas damaged in the 2011 earthquake. KidzMethven later securedasite on land near The Dubliner, butitwas decided it wasnot suitable because it was too closeto the mainroad. Thealternate siteonthe cornerofBankand McMillan streets was identifiedbyAshburton District Counciland the firstsod was turnedatthe end of Augustlastyear. KidzMethven will lease the land from the council for threeyearsandwill haveafurther right of renewal.

www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz Keep the bread tags coming Mid Canterbury’s school communities, scouting groups, organisationsand businesses may have got behindthe collection of bread tags to raise money for wheelchairsin South Africa,but so too have pupils from Fox Glacier School. Abag of bread tags (weighing around 2kg) from the school,atthe southern endofthe West Coast, was dropped into the Courier office this week. The pupils,and their schoolcommunity, had been savingthe bread tags for the past six months for Ashburton ecowarrior Nicci Glanville. Mrs Glanville, amother of six,who is also aKea leader and abusiness woman, is collecting the district’s bread tags, andis alsogetting bread tags from all of the South Island’s collection points. The Courier office is a collection point. The recycling of the plastic pieces is part of a global recycling effort, which was setupinNew Zealand last yeartocollect anything that looks likea bread tag whetherits on fruit, or potatoes can be recycled. Thehighimpact polystyrenehasagood recycling value in South Africa; 200kg or200bread bags full of tags isneeded to buy one wheelchair. After sorting,Mrs Glanville is storingthe bread tags into banana boxes, which once filled, are collected by the national coordinator of Bread Tags for WheelchairsNZ. People can ‘‘keepthem cominguntilweare told otherwise’’. While dropoffpoints around theSouth Island arelisted on thenational Facebook page, bread tags canbedropped off to any scoutgroup, or locally broughtintothe Ashburton Courieroffice,Allenton Four Square or Cafe Mayfield.
