Methven water concerns<br />

Methven Community Board<br />

member RonSmith has<br />

again raised concerns<br />

about the Methven<br />

reservoir upgrade project.<br />

Speaking at Monday’s<br />

MCB board meeting Mr<br />

Smith said Methven’s water<br />

storagewas not adequate,<br />

and perhaps <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

District Council neededto<br />

look into tapping into awell<br />

instead.<br />

He said in light of recent<br />

heavy floodingitwas time<br />

for council to review all its<br />

options.<br />

Spending $5 millionona<br />

reservoir membrane was a<br />

lot and maybe there were<br />

other options out there,he<br />

said.<br />

Social riding to world champs<br />

From Page1<br />

Ron Smith<br />

Michael Templeton and Brad Hudson<br />

have been doing Zwift events which<br />

feature the graphics ­and ascents and<br />

descents ­ofwell­known<br />

international routes. There were<br />

around 150 rides loaded on theapp.<br />

The smart trainermeasured the<br />

powerused by theridersand there<br />

were alsorealracing events such as<br />

bunches, draftingand pack dynamics.<br />

Riders also talked to each other in<br />

real time through messaging apps.<br />

Since joininginMarch 2020,<br />

Templetonhad cycled12daysand 18<br />

hourscoveringanimpressive<br />

11,319km.<br />

‘‘I’ve burnt the equivalentof732<br />

slices of pizza,’’ he said, reading the<br />

data collected from his profile.<br />

The men startedsocially riding as a<br />

way to connect with others during the<br />

early days of covid restrictionsbut the<br />

more fitterthey got, the more<br />

competitive they became, Templeton<br />

said.<br />

Initially they tried to completeeach<br />

route on the programmebut then<br />

opted in on race events.<br />

The Dirty Sprocketsplaced second<br />

in the Asia Pacific division to qualify<br />

for the championships.<br />

It was the culmination of eight<br />

weeksofreal time racing, ridingfor<br />

around 45­minutes and covering<br />

distances between 30 to 40km.The<br />

races took place every Tuesday at<br />

9.30pmdue to the majority of the<br />

other riders being European teams.<br />

The world championships ­which<br />

involved weight and height<br />

Councillor Liz McMillan<br />

remindedMr Smith that a<br />

new ‘‘super’’ plant idea that<br />

could provide treated<br />

drinking water to residents<br />

on the Methven, Methven­<br />

Springfield, Montalto and<br />

Mt Somers watersupplies<br />

was alsoonthe table as a<br />

possibility.<br />

It was timely to look at<br />

how that was going to work,<br />

she said.<br />

Mayor Neil Brown said it<br />

was the quality not the<br />

quantity of thewater that<br />

had been the issue during<br />

the recent flooding event.<br />

He said although<br />

Methven had aboilwater<br />

notice in place for12days,<br />

the township had got off<br />

lightly compared with<br />

farmers who werewithout<br />

water ,had wells that were<br />

‘‘stuffed’’ andwho had to<br />

There were othersinthe races who<br />

TheMethven reservoir<br />

provides an essential<br />

bufferfor thetownship’s<br />

it, the scheme would not be<br />

able to supply water at<br />

times of peak demand.<br />

Supply would alsobelost<br />

needed to shutdown for any<br />

reason.<br />

The current 810m3<br />

only water storage for the<br />

been assessed as aseismic<br />

risk. Six tenders have been<br />

received and will be<br />

considered by <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Being prepared for adisaster<br />

Therecent major flooding in<br />

Mid Canterbury has<br />

highlighted the need for<br />

people to be asprepared as<br />

possible for emergency<br />

situations.<br />

Thousandsofpeopleliving<br />

in the Allenton, Netherby and<br />

Racecourse Roadareaswere<br />

told to get ready and planfor<br />

an evacuationoftheir homes<br />

on May 30 as aprecautionary<br />

measureshould there be a<br />

breach in <strong>Ashburton</strong> River<br />

stopbanks. They werealso<br />

urged to have ‘‘a grab­bag<br />

ready to go’’.<br />

RedCross humanitarian<br />

development engagement<br />

manger Kathy O’Neill said the<br />

floods wereatimely reminder<br />

for people in <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

district to be good andreadyin<br />

case disaster strikes.<br />

Thedisaster in thiscase was<br />

aflood, but it could also be an<br />

earthquake,major snow event,<br />

or another kind of disasterthat<br />

had the abilitytodisconnect<br />

communities.<br />

Mrs O’Neill says making a<br />

plan in caseadisaster strikes<br />

is good and that plan should<br />

include havingakit of<br />

emergencysupplies, including<br />

food and water.<br />

Keyitemslike medication,<br />

torches, and clothing should<br />

all be ready to grab.<br />

Adisaster could mean<br />

evacuation or could equally<br />

mean being cut off from the<br />

community.<br />

She said people neededtobe<br />

more resilient when faced with<br />

an emergency.<br />

Mrs O’Neill is collaborating<br />

with the Connecting Mid<br />

Canterbury Charitable Trustto<br />

Red Cross humanitarian development engagement manger Kathy O’Neill.<br />

keen to follow up and<br />

collaborate withservice clubs,<br />

migrants andother groups<br />

afterwards.<br />

Follow­ups could include<br />

free first­aid and psychological<br />

firstaid training,she said.<br />

Spreading the word about<br />

Rain event1-in-200years forsome<br />

NIWAclimate scientists<br />

preliminary analysis has<br />

found the recent Canterbury<br />

rainfall latelast monthwas so<br />

extreme in some inland places<br />

couldhappen only once every<br />

200 years.<br />

NIWA climatescientistDr<br />

TrevorCarey­Smith said it<br />

was thelongduration of the<br />

rainfall, over more thantwo<br />

days, rather thanthe shortterm<br />

intensitywhich was<br />

exceptional.<br />

Therainevent happened<br />

fromMay 29­31.During that<br />

timeEnvironment<br />

Canterbury’sraingauge near<br />

Mt Somers recorded its largest<br />

48­hourrainfall event<br />

totalling 526mm.Just10km<br />

away,onthe plains the other<br />

sideofMtSomers, another<br />

gauge recorded 310mminthe<br />

same period,also its largest<br />

ever total.<br />

The first analysis of the<br />

rainfall data suggests the<br />

48­hour rainfall totals<br />

recordedatMtSomers,<br />

Geraldineand Snowdon<br />

wouldall be expected on<br />

average only onceevery 200<br />

years.<br />

Theseraingauges span<br />

100km south westtonorth east<br />

in inland Canterbury.<br />

‘‘These results show how<br />

widespread thiseventwas,<br />

although it is interestingto<br />

notethat the most extreme<br />

rainfall only occurred in a<br />

relatively thinstrip alongthe<br />

Canterbury foothills,’’ Dr<br />

Carey­Smith said.<br />

Nearer to the coast, at<br />

placeslike Ashley, Oxford,<br />

Darfield andMethven,the<br />

48­hour rainfall observedwas<br />

lower andreduces the<br />

expectedprobability of the<br />

event occurringtoabout once<br />

in 50 years on average.<br />

Thatdroppedtoonceevery<br />

30 to 40 yearsfor Christchurch<br />

andonce every10years for<br />

Akaroa which recorded<br />

250mm of rainoverthree days<br />

­alarge amountbut not<br />

unusual.<br />

Dr Carey­Smith said the<br />

calculations assumed the<br />

probability of extreme rainfall<br />

hasnot altered duringthe<br />

past, when in reality we<br />

expect thelikelihood of such<br />

eventstoincrease due to<br />

climatechange.<br />

Methven<br />

board want<br />

new plan<br />

Methven Community Board<br />

(MCB) members are keen to<br />

see aformal refresh and<br />

update of Methven’s<br />

strategic plan.<br />

The plan provides<br />

Methven with a‘roadmap' for<br />

the community's direction<br />

and development over the<br />

next few years and was last<br />

updated in 2009.<br />

MCB chairman Dan<br />

McLaughlin said there had<br />

been initial update work<br />

done in 2014 and five years<br />

later alocal strategic plan<br />

had been developed.<br />

Much of the 2019 work was<br />

still relevant today, he said.<br />

‘‘We’ve done alot of work<br />

and spent alot of time on this<br />

plan.<br />

‘‘It was forwarded to<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> council awhile<br />

ago, but nothing has<br />

happened with it.’’<br />

Speaking at Monday’s MCB<br />

meeting, council community<br />

services manager Steve<br />

Fabish said that with growth<br />

in Methven in recent years it<br />

was agood time to look at<br />

updating the strategic plan.<br />

MCB passed amotion<br />

asking council to look at the<br />

strategic plan update and to<br />

offer feedback on it at the<br />

next community board<br />

meeting.<br />

Mid CanterburyCitizens<br />

Advice Bureau (CAB) is<br />

proving its worth in the<br />

community andvolunteers<br />

have fielded266 inquiries<br />

in the firstsix monthsof<br />

operation.<br />

TheCAB office at<br />

Community House Mid<br />

Canterburyopenedquietly<br />

on December 2and is<br />

staffed by arosteredpoolof<br />

21 volunteer bureau<br />

interviewers.<br />

Half of theinquiries<br />

fielded to date havebeen<br />

face­to­faceand the rest via<br />

telephone(40%)and online.<br />

Inquiries arevariedand<br />

volunteers never know<br />

from day to day whatthey<br />

will be asked about.<br />

Co­ordinator Sarah<br />

Clifford said she was proud<br />

of what the CABhad<br />

achieved so far.<br />

Inquiries typically<br />

centred around legal,<br />

finance, benefit, health and<br />

employment issues,aswell<br />

as general community<br />

inquiries.<br />

For face to face inquiries<br />

peoplewere taken into an<br />

interview room and if<br />

further researchwas<br />

needed volunteers would<br />

go next door to search<br />

online.<br />

Mrs Clifford said CAB<br />

wasnon­judgemental and<br />

couldn’t operate without its<br />

very capable volunteers.<br />

The CAB motto,‘Not<br />

sure, ask us’, was fitting<br />

becauseanextensive range<br />

of resources and<br />

informationcouldbe<br />

accessed.<br />

CAB has 85 bureaus<br />

nationallyand auserfriendly<br />

website (cab.org.<br />

nz).<br />

Mrs Clifford said arecent<br />

‘‘mystery shopper’’ from<br />

CAB had had given the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> bureau abig<br />

quality assurance tick.<br />

She welcomedmore<br />

volunteers on board, who<br />

withtraining,could help<br />

people know and<br />

understand their rights<br />

better.<br />

The Mid CanterburyCAB<br />

be madeby calling 03 928<br />

‘‘Weexpectthat by the end of this<br />

in nature.’’<br />

She said for full repairstobedone<br />

river engineers were working on<br />

understanding the changes thathad<br />

occurred within the riverbed andits<br />

surrounding land.<br />

‘‘In somecases, we will need to<br />

discuss new stopbank alignments<br />

with adjacent landowners,’’ she said.<br />

‘‘Thereare significantareas of<br />

manager Carl Hansonsaid following<br />

months of dry conditions the water<br />

table across Canterbury had already<br />

responded to the rainfall. In late May,<br />

many wells were wellbelow average<br />

areas like West Melton, some were at<br />

record lows.<br />

‘‘In some placesthe water table has<br />

risen by less than ametre, and in<br />

others, more than two metres,| he<br />

Mr Hanson expected most of the rain<br />

that fell on the plains soaked into the<br />

NEWS<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>17</strong>, <strong>2021</strong><br />

CBD work on track<br />

Two milestone events will<br />

happen soon in <strong>Ashburton</strong>'s<br />

central business district (CBD)<br />

as the revitalisation project<br />

and new <strong>Ashburton</strong> Library and<br />

Civic Centre construction<br />

project progress.<br />

Final finishing on Burnett<br />

Street is expected in the next<br />

few weeks, along with the first<br />

concrete pour of the new<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Library and Civic<br />

Centre building; significant<br />

landmarks in the life of both<br />

projects.<br />

To give you an idea...the<br />

latter will require the careful<br />

co­ordination of around 70<br />

truckloads of concrete over six<br />

hours and will be the first of<br />

three big concrete pours for the<br />

job.<br />

The CBD revitalisation<br />

project also has many moving<br />

parts.<br />

On the East Street Green,<br />

play equipment is being<br />

installed.<br />

The grass will be resown in<br />

spring, and crews have been<br />

working nights on Burnett<br />

Street to advance the work<br />

there with as little disruption<br />

as possible to users.<br />

Paving of the Havelock<br />

Street/East Street intersection<br />

is also under way, which has<br />

required the temporary closure<br />

of the intersection. New traffic<br />

signals for the Havelock Street<br />

intersection will also be in<br />

place in another few weeks.<br />

The required work at this<br />

intersection has been<br />

undoubtedly disruptive.<br />

9<br />

However, Council is keeping<br />

the intersection open<br />

throughout the planned fourweek<br />

construction period to<br />

help maintain access for<br />

businesses and customers<br />

along East Street.<br />

In July, contractors will be<br />

working east on Havelock<br />

Street, replacing asewer pipe<br />

and installing connections for<br />

the new Library and Civic<br />

Centre building.<br />

These large projects require<br />

contractors to work to specified<br />

plans, work around weather<br />

conditions, and most<br />

importantly, work with<br />

businesses and Council to<br />

mitigate any issues.<br />

It is abalancing act that<br />

requires frequent review<br />

throughout the project to<br />

ensure disruption is limited to<br />

the extent possible.<br />

The rain we received over the<br />

30 May weekend caused adelay<br />

of acouple of days. Still,<br />

Council's contractor Tru­Line<br />

Civil is confident of recouping<br />

that time lost as the project<br />

goes forward.<br />

The completion date remains<br />

towards the end of November<br />

Volunteer Project<br />

Information provided by Gemma Taylor,<br />

Student ExecutiveMember,<br />

and Student Representativetothe BoardofTrustees<br />

In Term Twoofthis year,aspartoftheir Akoprogrammes, Year 13 students<br />

are required to undertake eight hours ofvolunteer project work. Choices<br />

include coaching sports teams, picking up rubbish, helping out in primary<br />

schools andmanyotheroptions.<br />

Gemma tells us that -<br />

For myvolunteer project, Ireally wanted to look at supporting Netherby<br />

School,which is the PrimarySchool Iattended and stilllove.<br />

In an effort togive back tothe students Icame up with the plan to do a<br />

mentoring programme.<br />

Togetherwith six otherYear 13 students,weattend NetherbySchool foran<br />

hourevery Wednesday. Onceatthe school we split ourselves between two<br />

classrooms, with children aged between six to nineyears old.<br />

How wehelp ranges weekly, depending onwhat the teacher wants to<br />

do, and what the specific children<br />

need support in. For me, this project<br />

has been amazing. We are making<br />

connections with students who we<br />

will remember for years to come.<br />

Students who hopefully we are<br />

inspiring to love school, and the<br />

experiencesthatcome with it.<br />

DayFive–and then DaysSix and Seven!<br />

On Monday, we decided that when the going gets tough, the tough go<br />

shopping. So, despite the rain, we embarked onashopping trip in central<br />

Dunedin which was agreat success judging by the number of bags that<br />

came back to the bus afterlunch.<br />

We had a very special visit and performance at Montecillo Veterans’<br />

Home and Hospital in the afternoon, where itwas our pleasure toshare a<br />

programme of music with the residents and staff.After our concertwegot to<br />

talk with the residents and so enjoyedtheir advice, insights and reminiscing<br />

about school days and choirs past.<br />

Theweather cancelled our trip to see the Yellow-Eyed Penguins so we opted<br />

for atrip tothe movies in the afternoon. Then, apizza and fish 'n' chip tea<br />

was followed byacrazy Karaoke night, featuring classics from ABBA and<br />

Neil Diamond as well as plenty of big numbers from musicals.<br />

Due tothe flooding with road and bridge closures back home, weopted<br />

to stay for afurther day inDunedin on Tuesday. We made the most of our<br />

final fewhours with Jared and spentsome focused time working on our new<br />

song from our workshop with BenMadden.<br />

After lunch, wetook awalk along the beach from St Kilda toStClair in the<br />

glorious sunshine and enjoyed hot chocolates, coffees and milkshakes on<br />

the esplanade. After an epic spaghetti bolognaise, wehad aquiet night<br />

at camp, hoping that the flood waters would recede and allow ustoreturn<br />

home the following day. Bymorning on Wednesday, it was clear that we<br />

could make it home,although the routechanged several times as roads and<br />

bridges reopened during our journey.<br />

Appreciation<br />

Phoenix Chorus owes an enormous debt of gratitude to many people for<br />

their contribution to making our tour so successful.<br />

care<br />

hand<br />

Abuse of our elderly folk is<br />

hitting closer to homethan<br />

people think. It may be<br />

hidden in our community, but<br />

it is out there and knows no<br />

socio­economic boundaries. A<br />

display set up by Age Concern<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> in the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Arcade this week has arange<br />

of information for people<br />

about Elder Abuse including<br />

endearing power of attorney<br />

processes and support<br />

agencies.<br />

It was set up for World<br />

Elder Abuse AwarenessDay<br />

(<strong>June</strong> 15) but is in the arcade<br />

all week.<br />

Age Concern <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

president Jan McClelland<br />

said nationally 75 percent of<br />

elder abuse was done by<br />

family members and of those<br />

family members, 59 percent<br />

werechildren and<br />

grandchildren.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>­based senior<br />

clinical social worker Annie<br />

Hunt said the abuse could<br />

include financial,<br />

psychological or physical<br />

abuse,sexualand<br />

institutional abuse, or even<br />

neglect and anyone<br />

concerned aboutafamily<br />

member, friend or neighbour<br />

could ring Age Concern<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> and makecontact.<br />

People could also call the<br />

office if they wanted to talk to<br />

someone about their<br />

concerns.<br />

Historically Age Concern’s<br />

Elder Abuse services get<br />

around 10 referrals every<br />

working day of older people<br />

LIVES WORTH LIVING<br />

What afortnight, the South<br />

Island cut in two, land now<br />

river, beloved animals gone,<br />

winter food washed away,<br />

homes flooded, livelihoods<br />

shattered. What has happened<br />

in Canterbury is adisaster, by<br />

definition that means our<br />

normal systems can’t cope and<br />

things have gone wrong. If<br />

things hadn’t gone wrong, then<br />

it would be an event not a<br />

disaster.<br />

As with all disasters we will<br />

learn valuable lesson for the<br />

future. We will also be<br />

reminded that at the end of the<br />

day Mother Nature will decide<br />

what she wants to do despite<br />

any of our interventions.<br />

We know the bad things from<br />

this flood and for some the<br />

reality of this will go on for<br />

months if not years.<br />

Ihave witnessed and been<br />

involved in disasters for most of<br />

my life, they produce some<br />

armchair idiots who selfishly<br />

criticize instead of becoming<br />

part of the solution, fortunately<br />

these few are overpowered by<br />

the good. Over the last two<br />

weeks Ihave heard amazing<br />

humble acts of bravery.<br />

Many people standing in the<br />

middle of their own destruction<br />

have told me of concerns for a<br />

neighbour and when visiting<br />

the neighbour, they have in<br />

turn voiced their concern for<br />

the person Ihad just left.<br />

Ihave seen groups and<br />

individuals work long hours<br />

from, Emergency Services,<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council,<br />

MPI, Rural Support, Civil<br />

Defence, Federated Farmers,<br />

Rural Women, ECAN, Support<br />

Agencies and many, many<br />

others, all concerned about<br />

other people.<br />

Like all of us Ihave also<br />

witnessed strong leadership,<br />

from the mayor, farmers and<br />

Civil Defence. Their public and<br />

local appearances have been<br />

confident and calm.<br />

People from both the country,<br />

town and cities have shown up<br />

at farms wanting to help in any<br />

way they can, willing to pay and<br />

repay to others. Ihave also<br />

witnessed people in all states of<br />

mental confusion and distress<br />

and this will continue for along<br />

time. The good news is both<br />

local agencies and national<br />

groups are aware of this.<br />

Local GPs, already under the<br />

pump, have set up asystem to<br />

deal with flood affected<br />

individuals. CDHB are in<br />

contact with government,<br />

sharing what they know may<br />

come as aresult of experience<br />

with the earthquake and the<br />

Mosque shootings.<br />

Local welfare groups are<br />

being briefed weekly through<br />

the council and aware of the<br />

fact that we are now in a<br />

marathon, not asprint. Now<br />

comes the important part, the<br />

after care. In the last two weeks<br />

welfare groups have visited<br />

most people affected by<br />

flooding but those needs are<br />

changing day by day and will<br />

evolve for along time.<br />

Remember to give 100% we<br />

need to be both mentally and<br />

physically fit ourselves and<br />

sometimes that means getting<br />

help.<br />

Need help:<br />

If you want help please seek it,<br />

there is strength asking for<br />

assistance to cope and to keep<br />

yourself at peak health. Rural<br />

Support, Federated Farmers,<br />

Presbyterian Support, ACADS,<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital, Salvation<br />

Army, Red Cross, MPI are<br />

available and for practical help<br />

for mental distress, contact your<br />

local GP and state it is flood<br />

related. Or contact <strong>17</strong>37 by text<br />

or phone to talk to a<br />

professional, this free service is<br />

available 24 hrs aday. It is<br />

anonymous and you can talk<br />

about your mental distress or<br />

Flyingstart to season<br />

Arecord number of people hit<br />

the slopes at Mt Hutt skifield on<br />

opening day and sincethenmany<br />

more have made thetrek to the<br />

mountain.<br />

Skifield manager James<br />

McKenzie said more than 2200<br />

people, with some camping out<br />

overnight to be firstin,<br />

descended on the mountain on<br />

<strong>June</strong> 11.<br />

He was thrilled by the turnout<br />

and saidthe previous record for<br />

an opening day was in 2009 when<br />

2093 people hitthe slopes.<br />

Everyone was stoked the<br />

season had kicked off and the<br />

new Nor’west Express chairlift<br />

was spinning.<br />

‘‘We’ve gotagreat early season<br />

base, which has set us up well for<br />

the winter ahead."<br />

Thenew eight­seater lift<br />

replaces the old chairlift, and<br />

increases the capacity of the<br />

mountain from 1600 to a<br />

maximum of 3000 skiers per<br />

hour.<br />

The first of its kind in New<br />

Zealand, the chairlift is also<br />

rated to run in higher wind<br />

conditions.<br />

‘‘This lift really changes how<br />

people access the mountain.<br />

‘‘It’s nowonly atwo­minute<br />

ride to our terrain parksand<br />

mid­mountain trails which<br />

means more laps for everyone,’’<br />

Mr McKenzie said.<br />

Solo­skiers or those with spare<br />

seats are encouraged to carpool,<br />

using the app snowriders.nz, to<br />

ease congestion on the road and<br />

was able to sift through the rubbish and<br />

find items that identified the offender.<br />

In one of the cases, seven bags of<br />

household rubbish and food waste were<br />

left atthe Fairton recycling depot. The<br />

others involved abag of rubbish left on<br />

Allens Road in<strong>Ashburton</strong> and household<br />

rubbish, including a lounge chair, was<br />

left atthe end of Smyths Road in the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> River bed.<br />

Each wasfined $400.<br />

Members of the public are encouraged<br />

to report illegally dumped rubbish.<br />

While Council prefers towork with and<br />

educate offenders rather than hand out<br />

enforcement notices under the Litter Act<br />

(1979), the penalty fine is intended to<br />

discouragethe behaviour.<br />

Council is also investigating two other<br />

cases where household and garden<br />

rubbish in black refuse bags weredumped<br />

at Fountaines Road, and under the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> River bridge.<br />

Council provides regular kerbside rubbish<br />

and recycling collections for urban<br />

residents and operates resource recovery<br />

parks and rural recyclingstationsaround<br />

MethvenCemeteryearlygraves and headstones<br />

getting a'gentle' clean<br />

The lives and times ofearly settlers<br />

buried in the Methven Cemetery are<br />

about to see daylight, thanks to a<br />

special clean-up project by Methven<br />

Lions members, in partnership with<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>DistrictCouncil.<br />

Lions noticed that some of the earlier<br />

graves and headstones inthe cemetery<br />

wereinapoor stateand coveredinlichen<br />

and moss. This has resulted inaneffort<br />

to carefully clean them up in the coming<br />

weeks.<br />

Methven Lion Mac McElwain said atleast<br />

100 headstones were inthe cold part of<br />

the cemetery, adjacent to the Methven<br />

A&P Showgrounds and sheltered by ahigh<br />

hedge.<br />

“Thismeans there’snot muchwind there,<br />

nor sun,”hesaid.<br />

Lionsmembershave regarded this project<br />

as asign of respectfor thoseburied there<br />

who had contributed to Methven inits<br />

early years.<br />

Theyhave been advertising their intended<br />

work in case some of the relatives of<br />

people interred there would prefer the<br />

graves to be leftalone.<br />

The Lions are collaborating with the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council on theproject:<br />

Council is supplying materials and the<br />

Lionswill do the “gentle” clean.<br />

Mr McElwain said itwas important to<br />

emphasise the word gentle. Many of the<br />

graves were quite old and potentially<br />

fragile.<br />

“This is no place for the actions of a<br />

water blaster or aggressive detergents<br />

and abrasives, so we’ll do agentle spray<br />

with Wet ‘n’ Forget, followed up by hand<br />

removal of dead moss andlichenlater on,”<br />

he added.<br />

The cemetery is one of 16 managed by<br />

Council and has burial recordsdating back<br />

to 1883.<br />

Families who don’t want headstones<br />

cleaned should writetoLions viaemail or<br />

postal mail, stating the numberofthe plot<br />

and the name/s on the headstone, and<br />

they will leave it alone. People have until<br />

July 1toopt outofthe clean.<br />

Guest speaker to<br />

talk on farm plans<br />

Well­known landscape architect,<br />

Di Lucas, will presentatalk at<br />

the Sinclair Centre on Tuesday<br />

<strong>June</strong> 22. Her particular interest is<br />

planning for farms and other<br />

rural land management.<br />

Herteam takes into account the<br />

land’s inherent characteristics,<br />

vegetation, production goals and<br />

management options.<br />

She will talk on Integrated<br />

Farm Plans (IFP), which address<br />

greenhouse gasemissions,<br />

freshwater quality, indigenous<br />

biodiversity, and thelandscape<br />

associated with individual farms<br />

and catchments. Theirplans<br />

respond to theunderlying natural<br />

and cultural diversity of Aotearoa<br />

NZ –the great biophysical,<br />

historic andsocial variation that<br />

we see in ourcountry, which has<br />

been described as the “land of<br />

little landscapes”.<br />

Thecurrent farmregime is first<br />

identified and mapped, the<br />

emissions calculated,then<br />

alternative land­use and<br />

management options are<br />

explored to transition production<br />

toward net Carbon Zero, healthy<br />

ecosystems, and sustainable<br />

landscapes. Dairy, sheep and<br />

beef, andhighcountry farms are<br />

being addressed in terms of farm<br />

production from “cradle to farm<br />

gate”.<br />

Landscape architect Di Lucas will<br />

present atalk in <strong>Ashburton</strong> this<br />

Tuesday.<br />

Thefarm plans provide<br />

guidance on reducing or<br />

mitigating effects, and allow for<br />

adaptation to increasing<br />

environmental pressures.<br />

Greenhouse gas emissions that<br />

cannot be avoided are addressed<br />

through insetting,thatis, on­farm<br />

works, not offsetting them<br />

elsewhere.<br />

Thetalk at the Sinclair Centre<br />

is hosted by the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

branch of Forestand Bird and the<br />

general publiciswelcome. It<br />

begins at 7.30 pm.

she said.<br />

Volunteers help out in<br />

many different roles around<br />

the district and many aspects<br />

of our society could not<br />

function without their<br />

volunteers, she said.<br />

Thereisalistofvolunteer<br />

need filling on the<br />

Volunteering Mid and South<br />

Canterbury new website.<br />

Of late theyhave included<br />

people helping with floodstrickenareas<br />

of Mid<br />

Canterbury whichhave seen<br />

people come together to help<br />

farmers and landowners clear<br />

debris strewn areas of land.<br />

There have also beengifts of<br />

baking and home care parcels,<br />

she said.<br />

“It’s amazing, everybody has<br />

steppedup,” she said.<br />

Over the pastyear, the face<br />

of volunteering nationwide<br />

had changedasmany older<br />

folk notreturning to volunteer roles<br />

post covid lockdown.<br />

Nationalvolunteer weekhonoured<br />

the collective energies and manaof<br />

all volunteers in New Zealand and<br />

wasachance to reimagine what<br />

volunteering would look like in the<br />

future.<br />

In Mid Canterbury there were more<br />

menvolunteering, as wellasmore<br />

youngerpeople, shesaid.<br />

Therewere also more people<br />

seeking short­term or one­off<br />

volunteer roles, suchasPoppyFlight<br />

knitters, or those knitting RedCross<br />

trauma teddy bears.<br />

“People juststep up as well (when<br />

needed)aswehave seen,” she said.<br />

They were roles people could do in<br />

their own homes andpeople were<br />

looking for those roles they coulddo<br />

if covid returned.<br />

More than one million people<br />

nationwide identified as<br />

volunteering for an organisation<br />

which contributed around$4billion<br />

to the economy.<br />

Therewas more happeningwithin<br />

communitiesand between people,<br />

and increasingly in different ways.<br />

While the landscape of<br />

volunteering was changing and<br />

presentedsome challenges, it also<br />

highlighted unique opportunities for<br />

reshaping and improving the<br />

practice of volunteering.<br />

People were encouragedto<br />

celebrate National Volunteer Week ­<br />

the community full of volunteers ­<br />

and share stories of volunteering, as<br />

Volunteering<br />

to help the<br />

community<br />

AngelaCushnie is a<br />

community­mindedperson<br />

who enjoys seeing the<br />

difference her volunteering<br />

makes to those around her.<br />

She has been volunteering<br />

“for as long as Ican recall”<br />

which started with beinga<br />

delegate for Hinds hockey.<br />

“We grew up in acommunity<br />

where mum and dad were very<br />

involved and Ibelieve it is a<br />

natural progression in terms<br />

of accepting that it is now our<br />

turn to service the community<br />

we live in,” she said.<br />

She volunteers with Kanuka<br />

Mid Canterbury Regeneration<br />

Trust,<strong>Ashburton</strong> Water Zone<br />

Committee, the Hinds Reserve<br />

Board,Parent to Parent<br />

Support as well as catchment<br />

groups.<br />

And whileshe is usually<br />

shoulder tapped and asked to<br />

help out for most roles, in the<br />

case of the Kanuka Trust she<br />

said it was aconscious<br />

decision.<br />

“I saw the needand decided<br />

to make it happen.That was<br />

big!”<br />

“If our communities thrive<br />

so too do our people,soIsee it<br />

as alegacy for future<br />

generations to benefit from,”<br />

she said.<br />

Whilevolunteering was<br />

important, Angela learned<br />

earlyonthat it was more<br />

important to focus energy on<br />

things that were important to<br />

her.<br />

“I do say no. Ilearned that<br />

earlyon,” she said.<br />

“Otherwise if Ispread<br />

myself too thin Iamless<br />

effective.”<br />

“Everybody’s time is<br />

valuable and many hands<br />

make light work so we have to<br />

sharethe load,”she said.<br />

Angela Cushnie says volunteering is about leaving alegacy for future generations.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Combined<br />

Friendship Club<br />

Alister wrote aquizwhich<br />

Errol compered. The“Dumb<br />

Questions” section was<br />

certainly achallenge butthere<br />

were also comments like “Why<br />

didn’t we think of that?” when<br />

the answers were revealed. The<br />

general knowledge questions<br />

were wide ranging and most of<br />

us fared better, but there were a<br />

few “It’s on the tip of my tongue<br />

moments”.<br />

Our main speaker was local<br />

“Rock Hound” Malcolm Luxton.<br />

He became interested in the<br />

wide variety of stonesfound on<br />

local beaches so joined the<br />

Christchurch Lapidary Club in<br />

his late teens beginning a<br />

lifelong interest in agates.<br />

Malcolm gave abrief<br />

geologicalhistory of Mid<br />

Canterburyover thelast 90<br />

million years when New<br />

Zealand was part of Gondwana<br />

Land. These days NZ is<br />

consideredtobepartof<br />

Zealandia which is an undersea<br />

continentwith only the NZ land<br />

mass abovethe sea. In the<br />

distant past Mt Somers was part<br />

of an active volcanic zone which<br />

extended from the Rangitata<br />

gorge to Malvern, north of the<br />

Rakaia. Agates were formed<br />

from thebasaltic lava produced<br />

by volcanic eruptions. Gas<br />

bubbles in themolten lava<br />

formed cavities and over<br />

geological timedissolved<br />

minerals found ways into the<br />

cavities and crystallised. The<br />

volcanic rock was broken up by<br />

the iceages anderosion giving<br />

the agates found rivers and<br />

beaches today. Petrified wood<br />

and fossils are alsofound. The<br />

tidal drift is from south to north<br />

so much interesting material is<br />

deposited on Birdling’s Flat.<br />

The recent floods will have<br />

uncovered alot of agate<br />

material.<br />

Malcolm’s interest has been<br />

in collecting agates and<br />

unlocking their beauty by<br />

cutting andpolishing for<br />

display. He explained this<br />

process andthe machines used<br />

and broughtalong some display<br />

examples. He has aprivate<br />

museum, which can be visited<br />

by arrangement, displaying the<br />

agates he hasprepared,<br />

includingasphere. He is akeen<br />

photographer of agatesand<br />

some years ago published a<br />

coffee table style book on NZ<br />

agates. He gaveanoutline of the<br />

self­publishing process and<br />

explained that it gavethe<br />

author much more control of the<br />

book.<br />
