MICK.JENSEN 

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz 

The man who helped set up 

systemsand run the very 

popularEA NetworksCentre 

sinceits opening five yearsago 

is on the move. 

Centre managerSteve 

Prescott hasworked in the 

aquatic centre environment 

since1979and is relocating 

back to his old stomping ground 

of Dunedin. 

The 65yearold will do some 

consultancywork and swim 

coaching, but willbescaling 

down his working day. 

Mr Prescott said the primary 

reasonfor his decision to move 

south was the healthissues 

faced by his wifeFiona. 

‘‘I want to spend more quality 

time with her and we wanttobe 

closer tofriends and family.’’ 

He said his EA Networks 

Centrerole,whichincluded 

managing astaff of 100, had 

been very enjoyable. 

‘‘This centre is areal 

community asset and 

something the districtshould 

be very proudof. 

‘‘I’m leaving with thecentre 

in avery good position and with 

exciting expansion plansa 

future possibility.’’ 

The plans included 

extending the aquatic areaand 

addingadedicated learn to 

swim pool and big playarea, 

and alsoexpanding thesports 

hall to include twomore courts. 

Both projects were included 

in the council’s Long Term 

Plan. 

He said public swimming 

pools didn’t pay for themselves, 

but he firmly believed they 

should be made affordable for 

all sectionsofthe community. 

The $35m pool and stadium 

facility built by theAshburton 

District Council has just 

celebrated five years. 

Mr Prescottwas recruited as 

council’s sports facility 

manager in June 2014. 

His impressive CV includesa 

17year stint at Dunedin’s 

MoanaPool andtime at the 

formerQE2pool in 

Christchurch. 

‘‘My firstaquatic role was 

running the pool in my home 

town of Otorohanga. 

‘‘My dad taughtmetoswim in 

the nearbyWaipaRiver.’’ 

Mr Prescottsaid he hadalove 

of the water andhad been a 

competitiveswimmer from a 

young age. 

He continued to compete in 

both indoor and open water 

events, had dozens of medals to 

his name, and had been to three 

world mastersswimming

Grain store ruling under appeal 

RedmondRetail is appealing a 

decisionbythe Environment Court 

preventing demolitionofthe old 

Peter Cates’ grain store on West 

Street. 

Redmonds had applied for the 

buildingtoberemoved fromthe 

AshburtonDistrict Council’s heritage 

list, so it could then be demolished. 

The applicationwas opposed by 

Heritage NZ and othersupporters of 

the historicbuilding, and the court 

ruleditshould stayonthe list. 

Theappeal will nowbeheardby 

the High CourtinChristchurch, with 

afirst call on August 10. 

Redmonds bought the building in 

2015 but it is earthquake proneand 

they say the costofbringingitupto 

codeisabout $2.6 million. 

Theoldest part of the building was 

constructed in September1878 while 

the ground floor was convertedto 

office spacein1965. 

Historic Places Mid Canterbury 

chairperson Julie Luxton said 

buildingsdid not have to be grandor 

beautiful to be worthyofheritage 

retention. 

Shesaid people should ask what 

importantstoriesthey told or how 

theywere constructed. 

‘‘Today, no other building in our 

townspeaks more about the grain 

industryour county wasbuilt on than 

Cates’ grain store. And the 1880s 

laminated beams and use of timberin 

the building’s interior are someofthe 

last remaining examplesofthis type 

of construction. 

‘‘Uniqueand interestingplaces 

like thistell astory.’’ 

MrsLuxtonsaid people should 

thinkofthe shottower arcade in 

Melbourne and The Tannery mall in 

Christchurch.Christchurch’s new 

Riversidemarkets also attracted 

people by replicating‘‘theold feel’’of 

timber post and beam. 

In Mid Canterbury, therewere 

several comfortable,charming and 

older character places, like The 

Dubliner in Methven, the BrownPub 

or the BluePub, Speights AleHouse 

and the StaveleyStore, she said. 

‘‘Once aheritagebuilding is

moneytorepurpose aheritage

MICK.JENSEN 


It wasabluebird day for bird 

counters at the Ashburton 

Lakes on Saturday with record 

numbersrecorded. 

Some 7100 birds were 

countedinthe dozen or so 

lakes in the Hakatere 

Conservation Area, the highest 

number ever recorded. 

At Lake Heron on Saturdaywere Paul Sagar and TaylahGeddes. 

The annual winter birdcount 

has beenrunning since 1984 

and information from it is 

passed on to theDepartment of 

Conservation. 

Bird numbers were 4100 in 

2019and 2017, 2900 in 2018 and 

6200 in 2008. 

Regularbird count volunteer 

and AshburtonForest and Bird 

member DonGeddes said 

conditions were very good on 

Saturday. 

‘‘It was abeautiful blue sky 

day with no wind and with just 

alittle bit of ice in the smaller 

lakes.’’ 

Mr Geddessaid the weather 

did play its part in boosting 

birdnumbers, but otherwise 

the exact reasons for the high 

count this year were not really 

known. 

There had been higher than 

usual numbers of Canada 

geese (1100), crested grebes 

(31) New Zealandscaup (3500) 

and coots (450) thanusual. 

Other birds countedhad 

included shags, ducks,gulls

and wading birds. 

‘‘We saw two white herons 

this year andusually we’re 

lucky to even see one, they’re 

very solitary birds.’’ 

Mr Geddes said volunteers 

counted in teams, spending two 

to three hours in the beautiful 

outdoors and would be back 

next year.

Let hot ashes 

cool before 

binning them 

Mid Canterbury residents using 

their log fires to keepthe 

winter chills at bayare being 

reminded to let their hot ashes 

cool properlybefore binning 

them, as they canignite and 

start afire. 

Hot ashes havebeen the 

culprit in six wheelie bin fires 

in the district alreadythis 

winter,and Ashburton District 

Council service delivery 

manager Neil McCann says it's 

critical that residents are only 

putting cold ashes in the 

rubbishbin. 

‘‘If the ashes haven't had 

adequatetime to cool, theycan 

smoulderinyour wheelie bin 

and cause afire. 

‘‘Even if the ashes havebeen 

cooling for acoupleofdays, 

theycan still havehot coals or 

embers that are just warm 

enoughtolight up the other 

rubbish in your bin. 

‘‘If yourbin catches alight, 

the fire could also spread to 

yourhouse. 

‘‘Please make sure the ashes 

have properly cooled before 

theygointhe bin.’’ 

Hot ashes arebest stored in a 

metalash container or metal 

bucket to coolfor several days 

before being bagged and placed 

in the red rubbish bin. 

Pouring water on theash can 

alsohelptoput out any 

smouldering coal and embers. 

Council to address 

Line Road safety 

The Ashburton District 

Council has plans to take out a 

kink on Line Road, near the 

Lauriston township, to make it 

safer. 

Councillors visited the siteof 

the proposedrealignmenton 

their recent tour of the district. 

It has been the scene of at 

least one fatalaccident. 

Line Road currently kinks to 

the north as it approaches 

Lauriston and then kicks back 

but the safety work will change 

the road’s alignment and make 

it straight. The roadwill also 

be lowered. 

Council servicedelivery 

manager Neil McCann saidthe 

work was only in the draft 

design stageatthe moment so 

costswere not known. 

‘‘Thework is to address 

safety as there have been 

several crashes at the 

location.’’

School bus rules 

and signed speed 

Well, we have afollow up on 

the school bus “lore”. 

Acurly question came in 

to me and Ijust did not see 

the answer coming. 

The question: “If Iam 

driving in apassing bay and 

approaching aschool bus 

which is stoppedoff the 

lanes on either side of the 

road with its 20 sign lit, do I 

need to slow to 20kph to pass 

it?” 

The answer is yes,all four 

lanes must slowto20km/ to 

keep our young people safe. 

This is confirmed by Mark 

Cooke,Pearsons Ashburton 

Manager. 

Think whatyou like, I 

believe in safety first. Now, 

what couldthe finebefor 

exceeding 20km/h?Well, if the 

same rulesapply as exceeding 

the speed limit at road works, 

then 40kphover the limitof 

20km/h, that is any speedabove 

60km/honany of the four lanes 

could loosenyour hold on your 

licence! 

Imet abiker at Taste Café 

who was on his way to the Bert 

Munro and he confirmed he 

lost his licence, travelling over 

40km/h above the signed 

speed, at road works south of 

Ashburton. 

The police officer at the 

roadworks let him ridedown to 

the BertMunro,but he had no 

licence to return north. 

Now, the knowledgeable 

person with the curly question 

did indeed slowto20km/hand 

earned the ire of atruckie 

following them. Horn blast! 

This brings me to hazard 

lights. Where is your switch in 

your vehicle? Can you, in a 

splitsecond press the hazard 

button to warn vehicles 

following you of some change 

ahead? 

More on hazard lights soon!

Care with Parking Outside College 

When DroppingOffand Collecting Students 

We understand vehiclemovements as parents and caregivers 

drop-offand collect students at College. 

Mayweplease ask though forcarewhen this is happening – 

• Road safety is hugely important, and especially where there are alot 

road users in asmall area. 

• Please avoid parking on the yellow lines outside the Walnut Avenue 

entrance. 

• Please respectresidents’properties –avoid parking over drivewaysor 

driving into their personal driveentrances. 

• Remain aware thatthe College drivewayisnot suitable fordropping/ 

picking-up students from. This adds to congestion and compromises 

safety. 

We do ask,please,thatyou – 

• Consider whereyou park. 

• Park in alegal parking space, and have your child walk to whereyou are 

parked. 

• Park in the parallel parks across the road from the College. 

• Or -theremay be spaceinthe shingled parking area on the west side of 

the College. 

We thank youfor your help, 

andfor your courtesy to residents, 

College students androad users.

Supported by the AshburtonDistrictCouncil 

Road Safety Education and Regional Partners have 

subsidised these workshops forschools. 

Students aretomaketheir ownway to the venue, 

with bus students to walk from the College to the venue. 

Studentsmust arrive by 9:15am, forregistration. 

Theday will finish at approximately 2:00pm-2:30pm. 

Students arereleased afterthattime and arefreetogohome. 

Bus students aretowalk back to College. 

Programme: 

This Road Safety Education Workshop Day isdesigned for 16-17 year old 

students, asthey are learning to drive orare passengers in cars driven by 

their peers. 

Theday’s programme challenges students to change howthey think about 

road safety and to lay the foundation for safe road use throughout their 

lives. The programme aims to increase an understanding of road safety, 

including risk factors,and to equip them with the tools required to choose 

behaviours which lead to saferoutcomes on New Zealand roads. 

Statistics: 

Data shows that male drivers in the15-19 year age group areapproximately 

eight times more likely tocrash than male drivers in the lowest risk age 

group (55-59 years); and female drivers aged 15-19 years approximately six 

timesmorelikely to crash thanfemale drivers in the lowest risk group(45-49 

year olds). For every fatality there are approximately another ten people 

seriously injured. The implications of such outcomes aresignificant.

Appreciation 

Digital Mixing Console 

First up on the tour wasavisit to theCollege Holyoake Auditorium, upstairs 

in the lighting and sound area, to view the new Digital Mixing Console. 

Theformer twelve-plus year-old sound system had well-reached its ‘use by’ 

status,and waslimited in its capabilities. 

Thepurchase of the new Digital Mixing Console has manybenefits,providing 

a modern operating system for users, giving technical crew students 

the opportunity todevelop their skills on more updated equipment and 

offering audiences higher qualityproductions. 

Deputy Principal, and experienced manager of lighting and sound and 

of the tech crew, Ron Cresswell said that the acquisition of the upgraded 

console is afuture-proofing outcome looking ten-fifteen years into the 

future, which includes the abilitytotransfer it into the new AshColl build. 

Funding from this source, in the previous two years, has supported 

improved lighting and new upholstering for the seating, making life much 

more comfortable foraudiences. 

TheCollege Auditorium is used by both the College and wider community 

groups for avariety ofpurposes, making this funding of real benefit to the 

district. 

TV Monitors Supporting ClassroomTeaching and Learning Options 

TheCollege has invested over $100,000 in computers forstudentuse in the 

last twoyears,and afurther $35,000 worthofcomputers has been ordered 

forinstallation over the coming Christmas holidayperiod. These items have 

been purchased in preferencetoupdating in-class monitors. 

Currently there are data projectors in most classrooms and these are 

gradually being replaced with Smart TVmonitors, which provide more 

flexible usage options for teachers and students. Six screens and stands 

purchased this time brings 

the College’s classroom 

technology upgrade total 

to around twelve across a 

range of classrooms.

Year 13 Leadership Camp 

The College’s annual Year 13 Leadership Camp provides development 

opportunities forour aspiring College and futurecommunityleaders. 

Funding supported costs of the January 2020 camp, where the College 

trialled the use of an external training organisation, Horizons Unlimited, a 

firmwhich specialises in facilitating youth leadership courses. 

Sports Uniforms 

This year the Boys’Rugby1st XV have anew uniformplaying strip,onshow 

as they play inthe Crusaders’regional secondary schools’competition, the 

UC Championship. 

College operates anannual rotational replacement programme for our 

sports teams’uniforms and this year wasthe turnofthe Boys’Rugby. 

NewMini Van 

Having asmall fleet ofCollege mini-vans on-site makes the provision of 

student transport for numerous activities across the board, much easier. 

Even with afleetoffive vans now, use is such thatCollege still,attimes, has 

to look at rental options to caterfully forour needs at peak times. 

Curriculum activities include travel for outdoor education; ‘on farm’ 

agricultural training courses for our Agriculture and Horticulture 

programmes; Drama and Music Theatre trips and similar. Our curriculum 

includes field trips to Mt Cook (Geography), Kaikoura (Geography) and 

Akaroa (History), amongst other visits to local businesses and events. 

Weekly within the relevantseasons,our sports teams travel to Christchurch 

(Hockey, Netball and Basketball), Timaru (Girls’Rugby, Football, Basketball) 

and other destinations to participate in sports competitions. The vehicles 

also support our Rowing teams who regularly travel to Lake Ruataniwha 

for regattas, aswell as Golf and Tennis squads, Cricket and Rugby teams 

participating in Canterbury- wide activities. 

Additionally teams travel forChess Competitions (Christchurch and Timaru) 

and Cultural activities including Debating (Christchurch), Kapa Haka, The 

Big Sing,Rockquest and various music activities. 

At College we encourage our students to be involved in activities but 

naturally our location oftenrequires travel to eitherprovide competition or 

attend organised events.The minivans are avital component ofour ability 

to transport students to 

these events, and we are 

hugely appreciativeofthe

Congratulations 

Pre-Season Game Success Continues forAshHutt Girls’ 1st XV RugbyTeam 

TheAshHutt Girls’1st XV playedtheir final pre-season game on Wednesday 

01 July,against the Geraldine High School team. 

Coach Vaughan Ward said thatthe away game to Geraldine provided some 

challenges with team numbers due to sickness and work commitments, 

and with the team thereforefielding just seventeen players. 

The team did travel with twenty players, including one injured team 

member and two players without age dispensation. It was important to 

notethatfor twoofthe seventeen starting players this wastheir first game 

of rugby. 

Unfortunately Geraldine was also short onplayers, and unable to field a 

full team of fifteen players, sothe match started with both teams fielding 

thirteen players. 

GraceBleach and Roi Makutu were named as Co-Captains. 

Thefoothills weather provided the team with some cool,calm and dry(ish) 

conditions, under lights on Field 2atthe Geraldine Rugby Club. Although 

there was alack of player numbers on the field, this is reported ashaving 

no real impactonthe game. 

AshHutt started well, dominating possession early. Grace Bleach, 

Megan Hurley and Madison Trusler-Clark again worked well as a 

loose forward trio, providing exceptional go-forward ball and leadership 

within their on-field roles. Distribution was controlled well from 

#9 Caitlin Roberts in the first half, and newcomer Tokoono Pori in the 

second, with the decision-making role of #10 again left toLauren Taylor 

forthe game’s entirety. 

Tries to AshHutt were scored in quick succession in the first half,with a35-0 

scoreathalf time.AshHutt players were then loaned to Geraldine to cover 

injuries, and both AshHutt players, Chloe Guthrie and Rangi Makutu, 

were applauded fortheir gamesmanship. 

To be expected, Geraldine came out firing and wasthe first to scoreinthe 

second half.Unfortunately however, thiswas all thatGeraldinecouldoffer 

to the second half score. Successivetries came to AshHutt, albeit with some 

resistancefromaninspired Geraldine side.

Tough Outings Continue forBoys’ 1st XV Rugby MidCanterburyCombinedTeam 

Manager Nikki Woods reported onthe team’s home game on Saturday 

04 July against astrong Christ’s College team, in Round 3ofthe UC 

Championship. 

Nikki said the team had agreat first-half effort, showing real courage,for a 

half-time scoreof28-5toChrist’s College. Fitness levels let the team down 

in the second half, with more mistakes creeping into the Mid Canterbury 

team’s playfor afinal outcome of 54-5 to the opposition. 

TheMid CanterburyCombined team’s tryscorerwas Charlie Brown.

Big crowd, high prices at dog sale 

TONI.WILLIAMS 


Valued farm tools of the canine 

variety wentunder thehammer 

in Mid Canterburylast week and 

peoplefrom around the country 

came to buy. 

The top selling dog, atwoyear 

heading bitch named Spring, 

fetched $13,200. 

She was touted as ahardrunning, 

wellmannered 

mainstay who workedreally 

well under good command. 

She also had experience with 

sheep and cattle. 

Spring was one of 38 dogs up 

for saleinthe 64th PGG 

Wrightson annual sheep and 

cattle dogsale at the Mayfield 

A&P Showgrounds. 

The dogs, of varying ages and 

stages, all got to show their stuff 

to potential owners in atwominute 

dummy sheep trial. 

Among those out to buy were 

NorthIsland farm manager 

StruanCurrieand Grace Pettit, 

of Kumeroa, near Palmerston 

North. 

The couple had driven down 

to Mayfield especially for the 

sale following the death of their 

mainstay heading dogSparkie. 

The sixyearold, who they 

had owned since he was two, 

had died the week earlier dueto 

an injury. He wasone of afew 

dogs used on the farm to move 

stock around, butmost were 

mature in age. 

They were looking for one or 

twofarm dogs to take home. 

The couple are on a700 

hectare sheep and beef farm 

running 3000 ewes and around 

150breeding cows. 

One of their buys was Ted, a 

fouryearold huntaway,who 

took their attention as he wasa 

younger version of their beardie 

dogGus,aged 11. 

Ted was touted as apowerful 

huntaway in need of an 

experienced stockman owner. 

Also on site was North Otago 

dogtrainer Stuart Barnes with 

his children Eva, 11 and Max, 8, 

and the Innesfamily, of Levels 

Valley, near Timaru, who had 

‘‘come over for alook’’. 

The Barnes trio were 

checking over dogs of interest 

prior to the auction as Stuart 

was on the lookout forany deals 

to be had buying agood dog. 

Mayfield dairy farm manager 

Innes brothers Matthew, 8, and Tom, 6, of Levels Valley, get up 

close to Rangi, asix month huntaway male. 

Mayfield's Andrew McLeod and Warwick Bell, of Methven, enjoy a 

day out at the annual sheep and cattle dog sale. 

Andrew McLeod wasalso at the 

sale. He had10huntaways and 

an old heading dogonfarm, but 

was on the lookoutfor ayounger 

dog. 

Mr McLeod, who manages a 

1400 dairy cow herd, had 

particular interest in three dogs 

in the sale, acouple of twoyear 

olds and athree year old but 

noted there had been alot of 

interest in the sale. 

‘‘The price mightput me off,’’ 

he said. 

On averagethe dogs soldfor 

$4200; while thetop selling dog 

went for $13,200,the next top 

heading dog went for $9000 and 

the top huntaway sold for $8500. 

AuctioneerGreg Cook saidit 

was aseller’s market with some 

‘‘verygoodprices’’ with buyers 

from Southland to North Island. 

The sale drew abig crowd and 

saw arecord number of 

registered buyers. 

The good dogs werereally 

sought after, he said. 

Just one young pup was not 

sold.

Morefarmers in the district 

aregrowing potatoes for

from Germany and the USA. 

This is anew division to

Cultivators form the raised 

rowsand harvesters dig and 

separate the potatoes,using 

conveyorbelts operated from 

computer systems in the 

machine’s cab. 

It’s been abit of alearning 

curve, says Doug,but an 

exciting one. The potato 

equipment is imported by 

agricultural machinery 

specialists Landpower; some

into shipping containers so the 

Agserve crew putitback

Inthe past 10 years,

‘‘The electronics and

Landpower’s Nigel Prattley

He said the relationship 

worked well because Agserve

RENT ME! 

This walk is arecommendation from the Mayfield 

Ladies Walking Group, whose members are active 

yearround in the foothills. 

One of the great family day walks from Lake Camp 

is to the Balmacaan Saddle and back. 

The track begins at the east end of Lake Camp. 

Follow the track to start with to Lake Emma. Cross 

the Balmacaan River. 

The track then splits with track to Balmacaan 

follows an old 4WD track up the river. The track is 

agentle climb to the bottom of the saddle. It takes 

about two hours to get to the base of the saddle. 

From the base of the saddle it's a30minute steep 

climb through rocks and matagouri to the top. 

There isn't avery good track to the top, so you 

need to pick your way to the saddle carefully. 

But it is worth the effort where you get great views 

of the Rangitata River and Ashburton catchment. 

This track is suitable for all ages, though some 

may find the saddle quite steep. 

The track could be done all year round though you 

may have snow to contend with in the winter 

months. 

If you are staying in abach at Lake Clearwater 

this is agood track to fill in aday. 

To get there, travel to Mt Somers and continue on 

road to Lake Camp. Turn left at the start of the lake 

and follow track to southeast corner where there is 

an area for parking and signs pointing to Lake 

Emma. 

Mt Somers is agreat place to stop for an ice cream 

after your hike.
