Methven water concerns
Methven Community Board
member RonSmith has
again raised concerns
about the Methven
reservoir upgrade project.
Speaking at Monday’s
MCB board meeting Mr
Smith said Methven’s water
storagewas not adequate,
and perhaps Ashburton
District Council neededto
look into tapping into awell
instead.
He said in light of recent
heavy floodingitwas time
for council to review all its
options.
Spending $5 millionona
reservoir membrane was a
lot and maybe there were
other options out there,he
said.
Social riding to world champs

Michael Templeton and Brad Hudson
have been doing Zwift events which
feature the graphics and ascents and
descents ofwellknown
international routes. There were
around 150 rides loaded on theapp.
The smart trainermeasured the
powerused by theridersand there
were alsorealracing events such as
bunches, draftingand pack dynamics.
Riders also talked to each other in
real time through messaging apps.
Since joininginMarch 2020,
Templetonhad cycled12daysand 18
hourscoveringanimpressive
11,319km.
‘‘I’ve burnt the equivalentof732
slices of pizza,’’ he said, reading the
data collected from his profile.
The men startedsocially riding as a
way to connect with others during the
early days of covid restrictionsbut the
more fitterthey got, the more
competitive they became, Templeton
said.
Initially they tried to completeeach
route on the programmebut then
opted in on race events.
The Dirty Sprocketsplaced second
in the Asia Pacific division to qualify
for the championships.
It was the culmination of eight
weeksofreal time racing, ridingfor
around 45minutes and covering
distances between 30 to 40km.The
races took place every Tuesday at
9.30pmdue to the majority of the
other riders being European teams.
The world championships which
involved weight and height
Councillor Liz McMillan
remindedMr Smith that a
new ‘‘super’’ plant idea that
could provide treated
drinking water to residents
on the Methven, Methven
Springfield, Montalto and
Mt Somers watersupplies
was alsoonthe table as a
possibility.
It was timely to look at
how that was going to work,
she said.
Mayor Neil Brown said it
was the quality not the
quantity of thewater that
had been the issue during
the recent flooding event.
He said although
Methven had aboilwater
notice in place for12days,
the township had got off
lightly compared with
farmers who werewithout
water ,had wells that were
‘‘stuffed’’ andwho had to

There were othersinthe races who

TheMethven reservoir
provides an essential
bufferfor thetownship’s
treatedwater,and without
it, the scheme would not be
able to supply water at
times of peak demand.

needed to shutdown for any
reason.

Being prepared for adisaster
Therecent major flooding in
Mid Canterbury has
highlighted the need for
people to be asprepared as
possible for emergency
situations.
Thousandsofpeopleliving
in the Allenton, Netherby and
Racecourse Roadareaswere
told to get ready and planfor
an evacuationoftheir homes
on May 30 as aprecautionary
measureshould there be a
breach in Ashburton River
stopbanks. They werealso
urged to have ‘‘a grabbag

RedCross humanitarian
development engagement
manger Kathy O’Neill said the
floods wereatimely reminder
for people in Ashburton
district to be good andreadyin
case disaster strikes.
Thedisaster in thiscase was
aflood, but it could also be an
earthquake,major snow event,
or another kind of disasterthat
had the abilitytodisconnect
communities.
Mrs O’Neill says making a
plan in caseadisaster strikes
is good and that plan should
include havingakit of
emergencysupplies, including
food and water.
Keyitemslike medication,
torches, and clothing should
all be ready to grab.
Adisaster could mean
evacuation or could equally
mean being cut off from the
community.
She said people neededtobe
more resilient when faced with
an emergency.
Mrs O’Neill is collaborating

Rain event1-in-200years forsome
NIWAclimate scientists
preliminary analysis has
found the recent Canterbury
rainfall latelast monthwas so
extreme in some inland places
couldhappen only once every
200 years.
NIWA climatescientistDr
TrevorCareySmith said it
was thelongduration of the
rainfall, over more thantwo
days, rather thanthe shortterm
intensitywhich was
exceptional.
Therainevent happened
fromMay 2931.During that
timeEnvironment
Canterbury’sraingauge near
Mt Somers recorded its largest
48hourrainfall event
totalling 526mm.Just10km
away,onthe plains the other
sideofMtSomers, another
gauge recorded 310mminthe
same period,also its largest
ever total.
The first analysis of the
rainfall data suggests the
48hour rainfall totals
recordedatMtSomers,
Geraldineand Snowdon
wouldall be expected on
average only onceevery 200
years.
Theseraingauges span
100km south westtonorth east
in inland Canterbury.
‘‘These results show how
widespread thiseventwas,
although it is interestingto
notethat the most extreme
rainfall only occurred in a
relatively thinstrip alongthe
Canterbury foothills,’’ Dr
CareySmith said.
Nearer to the coast, at
placeslike Ashley, Oxford,
Darfield andMethven,the
48hour rainfall observedwas
lower andreduces the
expectedprobability of the
event occurringtoabout once
in 50 years on average.
Thatdroppedtoonceevery
30 to 40 yearsfor Christchurch
andonce every10years for
Akaroa which recorded
250mm of rainoverthree days
alarge amountbut not
unusual.
Dr CareySmith said the
calculations assumed the
probability of extreme rainfall
hasnot altered duringthe
past, when in reality we
expect thelikelihood of such
eventstoincrease due to
climatechange.
Riverflood return intervals
whichrespond to shorterterm
rainfall intensities,werestill
beingevaluated.

Methven
board want
new plan
Methven Community Board
(MCB) members are keen to
see aformal refresh and
update of Methven’s
strategic plan.
The plan provides
Methven with a‘roadmap' for
the community's direction
and development over the
next few years and was last
updated in 2009.
MCB chairman Dan
McLaughlin said there had
been initial update work
done in 2014 and five years
later alocal strategic plan
had been developed.
Much of the 2019 work was
still relevant today, he said.
‘‘We’ve done alot of work
and spent alot of time on this
plan.
‘‘It was forwarded to
Ashburton council awhile
ago, but nothing has
happened with it.’’
Speaking at Monday’s MCB
meeting, council community
services manager Steve
Fabish said that with growth
in Methven in recent years it
was agood time to look at
updating the strategic plan.
MCB passed amotion
asking council to look at the
strategic plan update and to
offer feedback on it at the
next community board
meeting.

Mid CanterburyCitizens
Advice Bureau (CAB) is
proving its worth in the
community andvolunteers
have fielded266 inquiries
in the firstsix monthsof
operation.
TheCAB office at
Community House Mid
Canterburyopenedquietly
on December 2and is
staffed by arosteredpoolof
21 volunteer bureau
interviewers.
Half of theinquiries
fielded to date havebeen
facetofaceand the rest via
telephone(40%)and online.
Inquiries arevariedand
volunteers never know
from day to day whatthey
will be asked about.
Coordinator Sarah
Clifford said she was proud
of what the CABhad
achieved so far.
Inquiries typically
centred around legal,
finance, benefit, health and
employment issues,aswell
as general community
inquiries.
For face to face inquiries
peoplewere taken into an
interview room and if
further researchwas
needed volunteers would
go next door to search
online.
Mrs Clifford said CAB
wasnonjudgemental and
couldn’t operate without its
very capable volunteers.
The CAB motto,‘Not
sure, ask us’, was fitting
becauseanextensive range
of resources and
informationcouldbe
accessed.
CAB has 85 bureaus
nationallyand auserfriendly
website (cab.org.
nz).
Mrs Clifford said arecent

MICK.JENSEN
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz

of Ashburton’s SacredHeart
College has beenproofedand
will soongotoprint.
The book, called Nor’Westers
andPanamas, will be revealed
at reunion over Labour
Weekendthatmarks 50 years
since the college closedits
doors.
The historyinthe book has
beenresearchedand written by
local historian Michael
Hanrahan,while former pupil
Mary Schmack has compiled
the personal storiesand
memories of formerstudents.
Mrs Schmack said the book
was150 pageslong, featured a
lot of photosand would bring
back plenty of fond memories.
Her part of thebookhad been
compiled over afive year
period.
Everyoneattending the
reunion would receive the book
as part of thereunionfee, she
said.
‘‘It is atrip down memory
lanefor former pupils,but it
alsodocumentshistory for
currentandfuture
generations.’’
MrsSchmack said she had
enjoyed her school days.
The nuns from Sisters of Our
Ladyofthe Missions who ran
Sacred Heartwere strict and
expectationsand standards
were high.
Music hadfeatured highly in
the school curriculum and the
nuns had also taught music
privately.
FellowScared Heartpupil
and reunion book committee
member Yvonne Harrison said
she too had fondmemoriesof
her time at the college.
Shehad attended for two
years in the mid 1950s and had
travelled from Methven via
Rakaia each day.
‘‘I’ve still gotmypanamahat
which was part of thestrict
uniformofthe day and I’vealso
stayed in touch with afew
formerschool mates.’’
Mrs Harrison saidshe was
looking forward to the October
reunion and also reading the
book.
SacredHeart College began
lifeinWakanui Road in 1884 as
aprivate girls school.
Reminiscing on their school
days at Sacred Heart are (from

her old school panama, and
Mary Schmack with aproof
copy of the soon to be printed
book.
Ten years later thesizeable
two story building was
relocatedtoasiteonSealy
Street, Ashburton.
One of NewZealand’s first
Montessorischools joined the
site in 1932 and educated both
boys and girls for the next20
years.
With the buildingofalarger
StJoseph’s School in 1952, the
Montessoriand primary
departments were closed and
the school continued as agirls’
secondary college.
The school was demolished
in 1960 and anew single storey
schoolbuilt, which is today
used by theAshburton
Learning Centre.

Riverbed berm vegetation

Environment Canterbury expects all

‘‘Weexpectthat by the end of this

‘‘Manyof these diversionsshouldbe

She said for full repairstobedone
river engineers were working on

occurred within the riverbed andits

‘‘In somecases, we will need to

‘‘Thereare significantareas of

‘‘Rebuilding stopbanks andother

The rainfall which hit the district
saw adeluge of water on the foothills;
from May 28 to May 31 amassive
545mm of rain was recorded at Mt
Somers, the MetService reported.
The main centres Christchurch
(110mm), Ashburton (155mm), and
Timaru (105mm) wereinundated
over the same period.
ECan groundwater science
manager Carl Hansonsaid following
months of dry conditions the water
table across Canterbury had already
responded to the rainfall. In late May,
many wells were wellbelow average
levels forthistimeofthe year, and in
areas like West Melton, some were at
record lows.
‘‘In some placesthe water table has
risen by less than ametre, and in
others, more than two metres,| he
said.
While much of therainfall rushed
through the river systems out to sea,
Mr Hanson expected most of the rain
that fell on the plains soaked into the
dry ground.
“Outinthe middle of the
Canterbury Plains,far fromany
watercourses, there’s really
nowhere else for the raintogo,”he
said.
However, onelarge rainfall event

CBD work on track
Two milestone events will
happen soon in Ashburton's
central business district (CBD)
as the revitalisation project
and new Ashburton Library and
Civic Centre construction
project progress.
Final finishing on Burnett
Street is expected in the next
few weeks, along with the first
concrete pour of the new
Ashburton Library and Civic
Centre building; significant
landmarks in the life of both
projects.
To give you an idea...the
latter will require the careful
coordination of around 70
truckloads of concrete over six
hours and will be the first of
three big concrete pours for the
job.
The CBD revitalisation
project also has many moving
parts.
On the East Street Green,
play equipment is being
installed.
The grass will be resown in
spring, and crews have been
working nights on Burnett
Street to advance the work
there with as little disruption
as possible to users.
Paving of the Havelock
Street/East Street intersection
is also under way, which has
required the temporary closure
of the intersection. New traffic
signals for the Havelock Street
intersection will also be in
place in another few weeks.
The required work at this
intersection has been
undoubtedly disruptive.
9
However, Council is keeping
the intersection open
throughout the planned fourweek
construction period to
help maintain access for
businesses and customers
along East Street.
In July, contractors will be
working east on Havelock
Street, replacing asewer pipe
and installing connections for
the new Library and Civic
Centre building.
These large projects require
contractors to work to specified
plans, work around weather
conditions, and most
importantly, work with
businesses and Council to
mitigate any issues.
It is abalancing act that
requires frequent review
throughout the project to
ensure disruption is limited to
the extent possible.
The rain we received over the
30 May weekend caused adelay
of acouple of days. Still,
Council's contractor TruLine
Civil is confident of recouping
that time lost as the project
goes forward.
The completion date remains
towards the end of November
2021.

‘‘Thereisno limit on
the number of trains
which canuse the line,
but some speed
restrictions will be in
force over several
affected areasuntil
final repairs are
completed,’’ he said.
Rail bridges and
other structures were
built to withstand
normalweather
conditions, but rare
eventslike the recent
floodingseverely test
their resilience.
‘‘While we do not
foreseeany issues of
concerninthe near
future,weare always
looking for ways to
make ournetwork as
resilient aspossible
and carry out routine
maintenanceand
monitoring of
structures to ensure
safe operations,’’ he
said.
Therewas no freight
backlog to clear, but
some empty wagons
had beenrepositioned
as aresult of the
closure of theline.

Gemma tells us that -
For myvolunteer project, Ireally wanted to look at supporting Netherby
School,which is the PrimarySchool Iattended and stilllove.
In an effort togive back tothe students Icame up with the plan to do a
mentoring programme.
Togetherwith six otherYear 13 students,weattend NetherbySchool foran
hourevery Wednesday. Onceatthe school we split ourselves between two
classrooms, with children aged between six to nineyears old.
How wehelp ranges weekly, depending onwhat the teacher wants to
do, and what the specific children
need support in. For me, this project
has been amazing. We are making
connections with students who we
will remember for years to come.
Students who hopefully we are
inspiring to love school, and the
experiencesthatcome with it.

Congratulations
Successful Phoenix Chorus Southern Tour
Phoenix Chorus,our senior choir,has recently returned from their‘Southern
Sojourn’ to Dunedin. This six-day tour (which turned into seven) gave the
choir the opportunitytoparticipate in awidevariety of musical experiences
as well as enjoy the sights and activities thatthe beautiful southerncityhas
to offer. Choral Manager Carolyn Clough, shares their experiences below.
Choir ManagementPersonnel
Thechoir wasled by Angela Cresswell (Musical Director) andCarolynClough
(Choral Manager), and RonCresswell (DeputyPrincipal).
Phoenix Chorus members were – Gianna Butler, Emma Cochrane,
Paulina Cuadrado, Emma-Paige Dickson, Jordis Double, Janelle Galos,
Emily Greer, Amelia Harris, Alice Homer, Zoe Kenny, Charlotte McKenzie,
Ngahuia Maeva, Laura Mihailescu Bogdan, Grace Prendergast,
AnnyaRawlings,LibbyRyan, Sama Sooialo,Joelle Watson.
Carolyn tells usthat they left Ashburton’s sunny blue skies and headed
south on Thursday27May,munching on delicious cookies supplied by Tony
Corbett of SubwayAshburton, and made our waytoMoeraki. Astroll along
the beach in the sunshine gave manystudents the opportunitytotheorise
about the origins of the famous boulders which several people had not seen
before.
During our stay inDunedin, wewere based at the Dunedin Holiday Park.
Afterunpacking and organising arrangements,itwas straightintorehearsal
to preparefor our busy fewdaysahead.
Rehearsal Time
We were very fortunate to have the amazing Dr Jared Corbett with us on
tour.Jared is aformer AshColl studentand member of Phoenix Chorus. With
hiswealth of musical knowledge and skill,Jared is an incredible mentorand
accompanist.
DayTwo
Thefollowing daydawned grey and drizzly (a signofthings to come) but we
had agreat morning in rehearsal beforeheading out to TheRoyal Albatross
Centre on the Otago Peninsula. What atreat! The weather may not have
been pleasantfor humans but it was perfect to bring the albatross parents
in from the seatofeed their chicks.
Following this, wewound our way upthrough the mist to Larnach Castle.
The weather prevented us from exploring the grounds and taking photos
outside but we enjoyed the
stories and sights on the
inside.

Castlewith JaredCorbett

Aconcertinthe ballroom
to asmall butappreciative
audience, followed by a
DevonshireTea was the
perfect waytospend the
afternoon. We took the
opportunitytoshowcase
AliHarper's beautiful
tributetothe victims of
the Christchurch Mosque
shooting and performed
'Release our Love' whichwas
ahuge honour.
DayThree
On Saturday, the morning was spent in a barbershop workshop and
rehearsal with the Dunedin Harmony Chorus which we loved! Then, it was
off to the Dunedin Public Library for aconcert, with abracket from each
choir and finishing with our choirs together singing acapella. ‘CanYou Feel
TheLove Tonight’ from the Lion King wasacrowd favourite.
(Pictured above): At the Barbershop Workshop with The Dunedin Harmony
Chorus. (Pictured front row, left to right): College Chorus members

Sadly, the poor weather cancelled our short excursion and photo
opportunity onthe Ocean Beach Railway but we used the time to have a
rest and catch uponsome homework back at camp. Inthe evening we
celebrated Amelia's birthday bygoing ten-pin bowling, complete with
birthdaycake afterdinner.
DayFour
We had aday to remember on Sunday, for many reasons. Wespent the
morning exploring the Otago Museum including the interactiveexhibits in
Tūharaand the Tropical Rainforest.
Afteragreat lunch in the Museum Cafe,wehad the pleasureofsharing in a
performanceinthe Atrium with the New Zealand RedCross Choir,toalarge
and appreciativeaudience.
Workshop
Then it wasofftothe beautiful St Paul’s Cathedral foranamazing workshop
with Ben Madden, who along with Jared Corbett, isone of New Zealand’s
brightest young talents in choral music! We gained so much from Ben’s
workshop and have brought home anew song which we hope to showcase
at aconcert laterthis year.

Whilst the weather wasfar
from pleasantinDunedin,
our thoughts wereconstantly
turning to our families
and friends in our AshColl
communityback home,where
the flooding had caused a
state of emergencytobe
declared.

Performing

Museum
Concert.
DayFive–and then DaysSix and Seven!
On Monday, we decided that when the going gets tough, the tough go
shopping. So, despite the rain, we embarked onashopping trip in central
Dunedin which was agreat success judging by the number of bags that
came back to the bus afterlunch.
We had a very special visit and performance at Montecillo Veterans’
Home and Hospital in the afternoon, where itwas our pleasure toshare a
programme of music with the residents and staff.After our concertwegot to
talk with the residents and so enjoyedtheir advice, insights and reminiscing
about school days and choirs past.
Theweather cancelled our trip to see the Yellow-Eyed Penguins so we opted
for atrip tothe movies in the afternoon. Then, apizza and fish 'n' chip tea
was followed byacrazy Karaoke night, featuring classics from ABBA and
Neil Diamond as well as plenty of big numbers from musicals.
Due tothe flooding with road and bridge closures back home, weopted
to stay for afurther day inDunedin on Tuesday. We made the most of our
final fewhours with Jared and spentsome focused time working on our new
song from our workshop with BenMadden.
After lunch, wetook awalk along the beach from St Kilda toStClair in the
glorious sunshine and enjoyed hot chocolates, coffees and milkshakes on
the esplanade. After an epic spaghetti bolognaise, wehad aquiet night
at camp, hoping that the flood waters would recede and allow ustoreturn
home the following day. Bymorning on Wednesday, it was clear that we
could make it home,although the routechanged several times as roads and
bridges reopened during our journey.
Appreciation
Phoenix Chorus owes an enormous debt of gratitude to many people for
their contribution to making our tour so successful.
Ourthanks go to:
Leen Braam for volunteering his time and skill as our bus driver during the
tour, particularly in such challenging driving conditions; Jared Corbett for
his energy,enthusiasm and wonderful skills as an accompanist and mentor;
Mark Cook from Pearsons Coachlines forhis adviceand guidancetobring us
safely home; the manypeople from our AshColl communitywho supported
our fundraising efforts, particularly those involved in ‘A Concert ofChoirs’;
our families who supported usonthe tour and arrived promptly when we
returned to ensurethateveryone could get homesafely.

Abuse of our elderly folk is
hitting closer to homethan
people think. It may be
hidden in our community, but
it is out there and knows no
socioeconomic boundaries. A
display set up by Age Concern
Ashburton in the Ashburton
Arcade this week has arange
of information for people
about Elder Abuse including
endearing power of attorney
processes and support
agencies.
It was set up for World
Elder Abuse AwarenessDay
(June 15) but is in the arcade
all week.
Age Concern Ashburton
president Jan McClelland
said nationally 75 percent of
elder abuse was done by
family members and of those
family members, 59 percent
werechildren and
grandchildren.
Ashburtonbased senior
clinical social worker Annie
Hunt said the abuse could
include financial,
psychological or physical
abuse,sexualand
institutional abuse, or even
neglect and anyone
concerned aboutafamily
member, friend or neighbour
could ring Age Concern
Ashburton and makecontact.
People could also call the

LIVES WORTH LIVING
What afortnight, the South
Island cut in two, land now
river, beloved animals gone,
winter food washed away,
homes flooded, livelihoods
shattered. What has happened
in Canterbury is adisaster, by
definition that means our
normal systems can’t cope and
things have gone wrong. If
things hadn’t gone wrong, then
it would be an event not a
disaster.
As with all disasters we will
learn valuable lesson for the
future. We will also be
reminded that at the end of the
day Mother Nature will decide
what she wants to do despite
any of our interventions.
We know the bad things from
this flood and for some the
reality of this will go on for
months if not years.
Ihave witnessed and been
involved in disasters for most of
my life, they produce some
armchair idiots who selfishly
criticize instead of becoming
part of the solution, fortunately
these few are overpowered by
the good. Over the last two
weeks Ihave heard amazing
humble acts of bravery.
Many people standing in the
middle of their own destruction
have told me of concerns for a
neighbour and when visiting
the neighbour, they have in
turn voiced their concern for
the person Ihad just left.
Ihave seen groups and
individuals work long hours
from, Emergency Services,
Ashburton District Council,
MPI, Rural Support, Civil
Defence, Federated Farmers,
Rural Women, ECAN, Support
Agencies and many, many
others, all concerned about
other people.
Like all of us Ihave also
witnessed strong leadership,
from the mayor, farmers and
Civil Defence. Their public and
local appearances have been
confident and calm.
People from both the country,
town and cities have shown up
at farms wanting to help in any
way they can, willing to pay and
repay to others. Ihave also
witnessed people in all states of
mental confusion and distress
and this will continue for along
time. The good news is both
local agencies and national
groups are aware of this.
Local GPs, already under the
pump, have set up asystem to
deal with flood affected
individuals. CDHB are in
contact with government,
sharing what they know may
come as aresult of experience
with the earthquake and the
Mosque shootings.
Local welfare groups are
being briefed weekly through
the council and aware of the
fact that we are now in a
marathon, not asprint. Now
comes the important part, the
after care. In the last two weeks
welfare groups have visited
most people affected by
flooding but those needs are
changing day by day and will
evolve for along time.
Remember to give 100% we
need to be both mentally and
physically fit ourselves and
sometimes that means getting
help.
Need help:
If you want help please seek it,
there is strength asking for
assistance to cope and to keep
yourself at peak health. Rural
Support, Federated Farmers,
Presbyterian Support, ACADS,
Ashburton Hospital, Salvation
Army, Red Cross, MPI are
available and for practical help
for mental distress, contact your
local GP and state it is flood
related. Or contact 1737 by text
or phone to talk to a
professional, this free service is
available 24 hrs aday. It is
anonymous and you can talk
about your mental distress or
get advice on others that you
may be worried about.

In one of the cases, seven bags of
household rubbish and food waste were
left atthe Fairton recycling depot. The
others involved abag of rubbish left on
Allens Road inAshburton and household
rubbish, including a lounge chair, was
left atthe end of Smyths Road in the

MethvenCemeteryearlygraves and headstones
getting a'gentle' clean
The lives and times ofearly settlers
buried in the Methven Cemetery are
about to see daylight, thanks to a
special clean-up project by Methven
Lions members, in partnership with
AshburtonDistrictCouncil.
Lions noticed that some of the earlier
graves and headstones inthe cemetery
wereinapoor stateand coveredinlichen
and moss. This has resulted inaneffort
to carefully clean them up in the coming
weeks.
Methven Lion Mac McElwain said atleast
100 headstones were inthe cold part of
the cemetery, adjacent to the Methven
A&P Showgrounds and sheltered by ahigh
hedge.
“Thismeans there’snot muchwind there,
nor sun,”hesaid.
Lionsmembershave regarded this project
as asign of respectfor thoseburied there
who had contributed to Methven inits
early years.
Theyhave been advertising their intended
work in case some of the relatives of
people interred there would prefer the
graves to be leftalone.
The Lions are collaborating with the
Ashburton District Council on theproject:
Council is supplying materials and the
Lionswill do the “gentle” clean.
Mr McElwain said itwas important to
emphasise the word gentle. Many of the
graves were quite old and potentially
fragile.
“This is no place for the actions of a
water blaster or aggressive detergents
and abrasives, so we’ll do agentle spray
with Wet ‘n’ Forget, followed up by hand
removal of dead moss andlichenlater on,”
he added.
The cemetery is one of 16 managed by
Council and has burial recordsdating back
to 1883.
Families who don’t want headstones
cleaned should writetoLions viaemail or
postal mail, stating the numberofthe plot
and the name/s on the headstone, and
they will leave it alone. People have until
July 1toopt outofthe clean.
The club can becontacted onemail at
methvenlions@gmail.com or by post to
Methven Lions, PO Box88, Methven.

Guest speaker to
talk on farm plans
Wellknown landscape architect,
Di Lucas, will presentatalk at
the Sinclair Centre on Tuesday
June 22. Her particular interest is
planning for farms and other
rural land management.
Herteam takes into account the
land’s inherent characteristics,
vegetation, production goals and
management options.
She will talk on Integrated
Farm Plans (IFP), which address
greenhouse gasemissions,
freshwater quality, indigenous
biodiversity, and thelandscape
associated with individual farms
and catchments. Theirplans
respond to theunderlying natural
and cultural diversity of Aotearoa
NZ –the great biophysical,
historic andsocial variation that
we see in ourcountry, which has
been described as the “land of
little landscapes”.
Thecurrent farmregime is first
identified and mapped, the
emissions calculated,then
alternative landuse and
management options are
explored to transition production
toward net Carbon Zero, healthy
ecosystems, and sustainable
landscapes. Dairy, sheep and
beef, andhighcountry farms are
being addressed in terms of farm
production from “cradle to farm
gate”.
Landscape architect Di Lucas will
present atalk in Ashburton this
Tuesday.
Thefarm plans provide
guidance on reducing or
mitigating effects, and allow for
adaptation to increasing
environmental pressures.
Greenhouse gas emissions that
cannot be avoided are addressed
through insetting,thatis, onfarm
works, not offsetting them
elsewhere.
Thetalk at the Sinclair Centre
is hosted by the Ashburton
branch of Forestand Bird and the
general publiciswelcome. It
begins at 7.30 pm.

8:15am -1:30pm
annual day was during the time of
Matariki and there were many
volunteers around the district who
were “stars in our eyes”.
She is calling for all business,
organisations, groups, clubs and
people in their homes to showtheir
support for the volunteers among us
by putting starsintheir windows, or
doors. There would also be adisplay
set up in the Ashburton
Library.
It’s timeto celebrate the
2392383
community and recognise
peoplewho volunteer.
“Thankstoevery person
whovolunteers. Theymake a
difference in ourcommunity,
she said.
Volunteers help out in
many different roles around
the district and many aspects
of our society could not
function without their
volunteers, she said.
Thereisalistofvolunteer
roles,incategories, which
need filling on the
Volunteering Mid and South
Canterbury new website.
Of late theyhave included
people helping with floodstrickenareas
of Mid
Canterbury whichhave seen
people come together to help
farmers and landowners clear
debris strewn areas of land.
There have also beengifts of
baking and home care parcels,
she said.
“It’s amazing, everybody has
steppedup,” she said.
Over the pastyear, the face
of volunteering nationwide
had changedasmany older
folk notreturning to volunteer roles
post covid lockdown.
Nationalvolunteer weekhonoured
the collective energies and manaof
all volunteers in New Zealand and
wasachance to reimagine what
volunteering would look like in the
future.
In Mid Canterbury there were more
menvolunteering, as wellasmore
youngerpeople, shesaid.
Therewere also more people
seeking shortterm or oneoff
volunteer roles, suchasPoppyFlight
knitters, or those knitting RedCross
trauma teddy bears.
“People juststep up as well (when
needed)aswehave seen,” she said.
They were roles people could do in
their own homes andpeople were
looking for those roles they coulddo
if covid returned.
More than one million people
nationwide identified as
volunteering for an organisation
which contributed around$4billion
to the economy.
Therewas more happeningwithin
communitiesand between people,
and increasingly in different ways.
While the landscape of
volunteering was changing and
presentedsome challenges, it also
highlighted unique opportunities for
reshaping and improving the
practice of volunteering.
People were encouragedto
celebrate National Volunteer Week
the community full of volunteers
and share stories of volunteering, as
wellashelp reshapemahi arohafor
the future.
“We are always on thelookout for
more stars, the sky is not full,”Miss

Volunteering
to help the
community
AngelaCushnie is a
communitymindedperson
who enjoys seeing the
difference her volunteering
makes to those around her.
She has been volunteering
“for as long as Ican recall”
which started with beinga
delegate for Hinds hockey.
“We grew up in acommunity
where mum and dad were very
involved and Ibelieve it is a
natural progression in terms
of accepting that it is now our
turn to service the community
we live in,” she said.
She volunteers with Kanuka
Mid Canterbury Regeneration
Trust,Ashburton Water Zone
Committee, the Hinds Reserve
Board,Parent to Parent
Support as well as catchment
groups.
And whileshe is usually
shoulder tapped and asked to
help out for most roles, in the
case of the Kanuka Trust she
said it was aconscious
decision.
“I saw the needand decided
to make it happen.That was
big!”
“If our communities thrive
so too do our people,soIsee it
as alegacy for future
generations to benefit from,”
she said.
Whilevolunteering was
important, Angela learned
earlyonthat it was more
important to focus energy on
things that were important to
her.
“I do say no. Ilearned that
earlyon,” she said.
“Otherwise if Ispread
myself too thin Iamless
effective.”
“Everybody’s time is
valuable and many hands
make light work so we have to
sharethe load,”she said.
Angela Cushnie says volunteering is about leaving alegacy for future generations.

Alister wrote aquizwhich
Errol compered. The“Dumb
Questions” section was
certainly achallenge butthere
were also comments like “Why
didn’t we think of that?” when
the answers were revealed. The
general knowledge questions
were wide ranging and most of
us fared better, but there were a
few “It’s on the tip of my tongue
moments”.
Our main speaker was local
“Rock Hound” Malcolm Luxton.
He became interested in the
wide variety of stonesfound on
local beaches so joined the
Christchurch Lapidary Club in
his late teens beginning a
lifelong interest in agates.
Malcolm gave abrief
geologicalhistory of Mid
Canterburyover thelast 90
million years when New
Zealand was part of Gondwana
Land. These days NZ is
consideredtobepartof
Zealandia which is an undersea
continentwith only the NZ land
mass abovethe sea. In the
distant past Mt Somers was part
of an active volcanic zone which
extended from the Rangitata
gorge to Malvern, north of the
Rakaia. Agates were formed
from thebasaltic lava produced
by volcanic eruptions. Gas
bubbles in themolten lava
formed cavities and over
geological timedissolved
minerals found ways into the
cavities and crystallised. The
volcanic rock was broken up by
the iceages anderosion giving
the agates found rivers and
beaches today. Petrified wood
and fossils are alsofound. The
tidal drift is from south to north
so much interesting material is
deposited on Birdling’s Flat.
The recent floods will have
uncovered alot of agate
material.
Malcolm’s interest has been
in collecting agates and
unlocking their beauty by
cutting andpolishing for
display. He explained this
process andthe machines used
and broughtalong some display
examples. He has aprivate
museum, which can be visited
by arrangement, displaying the
agates he hasprepared,
includingasphere. He is akeen
photographer of agatesand
some years ago published a
coffee table style book on NZ
agates. He gaveanoutline of the
selfpublishing process and
explained that it gavethe
author much more control of the
book.
