NEWS 4 Ashburton Courier, October 8, 2020 www.ashburtoncourier.co.nz TONI.WILLIAMS @ashburtoncourier.co.nz Greenland ReviewedbyRowenaHart A family struggles for survival in the face of a cataclysmic natural disaster. When Halley’s Comet came near earth in 1986 we never imagined it could be dangerous ...we watched it in awe. In this movie they could see the comet in the sky looking very like Halley’s and gathered together with friends to celebrate it. By the time anyone realised it was dangerous it was too late tosave Florida thatwas hit first and completely wiped out. Andasthe smaller deadly comet showers followed most folks had no idea whattodo. There was one place inGreenland set up to be a safehaveninsuch an event. Unfortunately most folks couldn’t get there. The special effects were mind boggling. Watching the whole scenario playout wasabsolutely frenetic and tense. When Halley’s Comet returns to earth in41years time youmay think twiceabout going out to see it if youhave seenthis movie! bookings ph 307 1230 www.regentcinema.co.nz 2320949 2317546 DanielHopkins is planninga65hour bowlathon to raise money and awareness for Cystic Fibrosis (CF). With the support of his wife Jessica and Hampstead Bowling Club members, he is seekingbowlers and corporate sponsors to help boost the event. Daniel will take to the club’s outdoor green in early December to begin his 65 hours for Cystic Fibrosis event. CF is acauseclose to his heart; his daughter Caitlin, 17, was diagnosed at aged 12 weeks. ‘‘It was quiteashock,’’ Daniel said. There were no knownfamily connections to him, or Jessica, despiteits genetic link. It meant afew hospital visits for Caitlin growing up as the condition affects the lungs,pancreasand digestive system. But Daniel said daily treatment of pills with food, and keepingontop of her health needsisworkingwell. He said with no cure, it’s an ongoingissue which affects around 520 people in New Zealand. Daniel says ‘‘game changing’’ treatment Trikafta costs around $479,000 ayear, so at the momentwas unattainablefor many with CF. He hoped his bowlathon, which he has thought about doing since last year, would raise awareness of the condition and ‘‘any funds made would be abig bonus’’. ‘‘It’s something different. It’s abit of fun as well as to support the cause,’’ he said. Daniel plans to bowl for 65 hours straight, with a10minute (bankable) break in each hour.Hewill start on December 2at7pm and play through until December 5atnoon. It will be no easy feat for Daniel who has auto immunearthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory diseasewhich is a severe form of arthritis and can cause some of the small bones in the spine to fuse.The 42yearold has treatment everysix weekstorelieve the pain. Bowling tobeat disease Daniel Hopkins is organisinga65hour bowlathon to raise money and awareness forCystic Fibrosis. He has already had two hip operations however he is determined to complete the 65 hours bowling himself, along with bowlersfrom around the district, taking turnsto bowlintwohour slots. It will be doubles play, so four bowlers will be on the green at one time. Notices have gone out to clubs to gather names for those interestedin playing but corporate bowlers are also welcome. AGivealittlepage has been set up for the event, as wellas email address, 65hoursforCF@gmail. com if anyone wantstomake contact to bowl, or is able to sponsor prizes for raffles. All proceeds would go to CFNZ, includingdonations of entry fees from players. Danielhas beenplaying bowls since first beingintroduced at aged 13 by his late grandparents Joan and Bert Cadogan, who usedtodrag him and his brotherShaun along to the Ashburton MSA Bowling Club. ‘‘We enjoyed it,’’ Danielsaid. ‘‘Back then it was an older person’s game but now it’s so differentwith so many younger players.’’ Danielhas beenamember of the Hampstead Bowling Club since 1991. His event has drawn good support from fellowbowlers, including the offer of AllentonBowling Club’s artificialgreen if it rains.
