Ph (03) 308 6722 2380471 Four students from Mount Hutt Collegeare working on aproject to enhance the Methven Dog Park and plan on providing some entertainment for the visiting canines. Year 9studentEstella Listerand Year 10 students Layla Manning,Maddie Webb and Sienna McGinity will build a‘‘toy box’’ for sticks, aramp, obstaclesand will set up weavingpoles as extra attractionsatthe dog park. The students will use their Opuke Time at school to work on theproject for the community andhavegauged feedbackfrom dog walkers, searched online to look at similarprojects in Rolleston and Leeston and have come up with designs. Speaking at the Methven Community Board (MCB) meeting on Monday, Layla Manningsaidthe dog park wascurrently littlemore than an empty field and it neededtobeenhanced and made more appealing. Feedback throughasurvey had shown dog owners were in favour of some of theideas suggested, suchasjumps and obstacles. She said the new equipment wouldbepainted in blue andyellow,colours that colourblind dogs could recognise. EstellaLister said the group had begun accumulating wood, paint, tyres andother items and wouldwork on the projectin an area at the Methven TruckingCompany. Permission hadbeen soughtand obtainedfrom dog park owner, Ashburton DistrictCouncil, and staff there had praised the initiative andoffered future input. Initial designs would now be tweaked and work would get under way soon, she said. The fourcollegestudents willtalk about their project at aschool functionlater in the year, explaining the concept and process from starttofinish. Thedog park is on a triangular section of land betweenDolma Streetand LineRoadand wasopenedin August2019. MCBmemberKelvin Holmessaidthe dog park was bare andneededtrees and he praised the students for their initiativewith thenew project. Similar sentimentswere echoedbyfellowboard members Ron Smith and Richie Owen. Not time for ‘aspirational’ rules FederatedFarmers Mid Canterbury has come out swinging at Environment Canterbury’sproposed rate rise. Provincial president David Clark andfellowMid Canterbury farmer and national board member Chris Allen, have asked Ecan to demonstrate financial discipline andstick with current water plans developed with the community, rather than cave inandstarta$25million exercise rewritingthem. The men, addressingthe Ecan’s LongTerm Plan hearing this week,said FederatedFarmers 3000 Canterbury members were outraged and hugely disappointed withthe very large ratesincreases proposed. Most farmersface bigger hikes than theoverall average of 24.5 percent in the financial year starting July 1. ‘‘Nobusiness hasthe luxury of unlimited income, especially farmerswho as price takers cannot just increase their prices.Ecan should be no different,’’ Mr Clark told councillors. Federated Farmerscalled on Ecan to ‘‘relentlessly focus on valuefor money and ensureits spendingis targeted, controlled and phased overthe decade’’. It neededtoprioritise what itmust do by law, not on aspirationalextras. Both farmers recalled a decadeago when there was a huge disconnect between urban Christchurch andthe hinterland.‘‘It’s concerning that after adecadeof generally good engagement andimprovementsin outcomes that theruralurban disconnect seemstobe growingagain.
