MidCanterbury schoolboy<br />

inaugural Pack the Park rugby<br />

event at <strong>Ashburton</strong>Collegeon<br />

Wednesday.<br />

The event is the brainchild<br />

of MidCanterburyCombined<br />

coach Shane Enrightand<br />

aimed to be the equivalentof<br />

traditionalinterschool<br />

matches held in other areas.<br />

It also had the potential to<br />

grow year on year.<br />

‘‘We are still losing kidsto<br />

bigger schools. We want to<br />

make this something special<br />

where parents (and) kids don’t<br />

want to go awaytobigger<br />

schools (to play).<br />

‘‘The idea was to getitout to<br />

the public and justsort of<br />

Mid Canterbury Combined front rowers (from left) Angus Stewart, Thornton Taylor, Pasi Hala,<br />

Henry Hobbs and Ivana Milo in­training for the Pack the Park game against Selwyn Combined.<br />

showcase First XV rugby.’’<br />

It would showschoolboy<br />

rugbyinMid Canterbury and<br />

give young fellowsinunder<br />

14s, 15s and16s an idea of the<br />

pathway in rugby, he said.<br />

At the event,<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

College Under 15 will play<br />

Mount Hutt College Under15<br />

in acurtain raiser at 1.20pm,<br />

before the Mid Canterbury<br />

CombinedFirst XV (made up<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>Christian schools),<br />

willtake on theSelwyn<br />

CombinedFirst XV (Lincoln,<br />

Rolleston Darfield, Ellesmere<br />

high schools) in themain game<br />

at 3pm.<br />

Mr Enright predicted it<br />

Coach Shane Enright<br />

wouldbea‘‘bloody goodgame’’<br />

and hopedmany of the<br />

district’s former first XV<br />

players could be sideline to<br />

support the teams andtoform<br />

aguardofhonour for players<br />

runningon thefield.<br />

‘‘The first year probably is<br />

going to be abit slow but it will<br />

build up,’’ Mr Enrightsaid,<br />

especially as people got used<br />

to it being an annual featureon<br />

thedistrict’s rugby calendar.<br />

Invitations had been<br />

extended around the district<br />

including to mayorNeil Brown<br />

Little engines, big on steam<br />

There was alot of huffingand puffing at<br />

ThePlains complex last weekend but it was<br />

notthe big bad wolf visiting. It was apintsized<br />

collection of miniature steam<br />

poweredmodels attending the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Model and Steam Engineers Clubmidwintersteam­up.<br />

Club member Ian Marr said the annual<br />

interclub event sawmembers enjoy aday<br />

of steam action and camaraderie with<br />

fellow enthusiasts from aroundthe South<br />

Island. It was followed by an evening<br />

dinner.<br />

Enthusiasts came from as far afield as<br />

Nelson, Dunedin and Cromwell andthere<br />

wereatleast 11 locomotives, five traction<br />

engines and one boatonsite. Themodels<br />

were allbased on prototypes andmany had<br />

been scratch­built by their owners, Mr<br />

Marrsaid.<br />

The<strong>Ashburton</strong> club’s youngestmember,<br />

Jacob Gillespie, 16,was checking out the<br />

visiting models takingatrip aroundthe<br />

club’s minirailtrack.<br />

He is in the processofmakinghis own<br />

model NZDSG,drawing on theexperience<br />

of club members along the way.Itwasa<br />

work in progress, which of late had slowed<br />

in part because of international shipment<br />

delays due to covid. He was hopeful of<br />

completion by the endofthe year.<br />

Jacob started withthe steam club two<br />

years ago after being alifelong member<br />

withThe Plains Museum and Historical<br />

Society and then attended an open day at<br />

themodel club.<br />

They let him drive oneofthe models,<br />

‘‘And thatwas it, Iwas hooked,’’ he said.<br />

He joined the modelclub, offhis own<br />

steamasitwas; he had no family members<br />

or mates involved, butwas keen to learn<br />

aboutthe different models.<br />

Also on site was Blenheim’s Win<br />

rural households with all<br />

requiring very different needs<br />

in terms of connectedness and<br />

safety. It is something that<br />

Neighbourhood Support is<br />

reviewing under its present<br />

umbrella.<br />

Currently working with<br />

Lesley Symington from Safer<br />

Communities we are looking at<br />

acampaign on theft and<br />

burglary. In my new role Iam<br />

ardent about prevention and it<br />

appears that this is something<br />

that very much needs<br />

addressing throughout Mid<br />

Canterbury. It seems sensible<br />

to be the ambulance at the top<br />

of the hill to ensure that the<br />

community as awhole feels safe<br />

and can ensure its assets and<br />

valuables are kept that way as<br />

well. This applies to both urban<br />

and rural areas.<br />

This of course cannot be done<br />

without the volunteers and<br />

street co­ordinators who<br />

proffer their time in<br />

committing to this cause so<br />

acknowledgement and thanks<br />

must be given to them for their<br />

support in this.<br />

Neighbourhood Support in<br />

Mid Canterbury is funded by<br />

Safer Communities which<br />

allows the role to be involved<br />

with some very special agencies<br />

who intertwine with<br />

Neighbourhood Support and its<br />

goals. However, it was brought<br />

to New Zealand as aPolice<br />

profile so follows the values<br />

and direction of the Police and<br />

its initiatives. Burglary and<br />

theft have currently been<br />

highlighted in Mid Canterbury<br />

as one of the major cause of<br />

concern. Police also comment<br />

on the importance of being<br />

contacted on 105 or 111 in the<br />

event of acrime.<br />

It is said that the strength of a<br />

neighbourhood provides the<br />

backbone to acommunity. We<br />

need to make this as resilient as<br />

we can.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>volunteer AnnMcKay is seeking<br />

support for her mobility­restricted peers,<br />

approach <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council about<br />

getting parkingdispensations ­or<br />

something similar ­for senior­aged<br />

volunteers withlimited­mobility who<br />

volunteer in the central businessdistrict.<br />

Alarge percentage of them were aged<br />

over 80 and restricted from walking any<br />

great distances.<br />

Adispensation would give those<br />

volunteers achance to park close to their<br />

placesofwork,just for the time they are<br />

rostered or scheduledto work, Mrs McKay<br />

said.<br />

Mrs McKay,82, hasvolunteered at St<br />

VincentdePaulfor the past18years and<br />

had noticed an increase in thenumberof<br />

her peers being issued parkingtickets over<br />

the pastfew months.<br />

Most likely duetoextensiverevitalisation<br />

work being done in town andparking being<br />

at premium.<br />

But it was havingadetrimental impact<br />

too.<br />

Mrs McKay said one of her friends ­who<br />

was in her late 80s­had considered giving<br />

up her volunteer role due to theparking<br />

woes. She wasunable to walk too far to get<br />

Year 13 Students Planning on<br />

TertiaryStudy<br />

It’s that time of year where Year 13 students<br />

who are intending to undertake Tertiary<br />

Study next year, should start making their<br />

decision on whattheyare going to studyand<br />

where.<br />

Students planning tolook for accommodation<br />

at UniversityorPolytechnic Residential College (Halls) arerequired to:<br />

• Complete an online application form which opens on Sunday<br />

01 August <strong>2021</strong>;<br />

• Ensure they make an online request for the Common Confidential<br />

Reference(CCRF) beforethe end of August (the sooner the better);<br />

• Offers of accommodation will be emailed from Saturday02October<br />

<strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Scholarships<br />

There is a large cost in going to any kind of tertiary study, and<br />

scholarships can be away of lessening the burden. There isavast<br />

amountofscholarships thatstudents can apply for, some of which have<br />

already opened.<br />

My keytips are:<br />

1. Settimeaside to find relevantscholarships which can be applied for<br />

2. Check whatdocuments areneeded to supportthe scholarship<br />

3. Contactreferees early<br />

4. Make applications stand out by finding out what the organisation<br />

awarding the scholarship is asking for and tailor the application to<br />

their goals<br />

Iencourage all students to get on to this early.Thisisatime-consuming<br />

activitybut can result in greatrewards.<br />

Flooding Clean Up<br />

Therecentfloodinghas had amassive impactonanumber in our school<br />

communityand local community.<br />

One particular area that has been hit hard are farms in the Greenstreet<br />

area. Theflooding has had long-lasting effects and needs manpowerto<br />

help clean up the debris and fix fences.Overthe last fewweeks Years11<br />

and 12 Agri Academyand Agricultural Scienceclasses have been going<br />

out to help the farmers clear the debris and fix fences. These students<br />

have shown the AshColl Values and have done the College proud.Over<br />

the coming weeks, larger groups of student volunteers will also be<br />

heading out and doing their part.<br />

Embracing and Celebrating Diversity<br />

Over the last fewweeks students have been embracing and celebrating<br />

the diversity ofour AshColl Community. Diversity isthe practice or<br />

qualityofincluding or involving people from arangeofsocial and ethnic<br />

backgrounds and of differentgenders,sexual orientations,and similar.<br />

Celebrating Samoa<br />

At AshColl we have awide range of students from different ethnic<br />

backgrounds.4.7% of our AshColl students identify as Samoan.<br />

The College’s Cultural Committee, led by Shrina Afu, did an amazing<br />

job of highlighting and celebrating the Samoan cultureduringSamoan<br />

Cultural Celebration Week. The week included flying the Samoan flag;<br />

holding aquiz to test students’knowledge of Samoa; Samoan students<br />

dressing in their cultural clothing; and concluding the week with<br />

performances and afashion show. Allthe students and staff thoroughly<br />

enjoyedthe event.<br />

P.I.E.'sGroup<br />

Last week the P.I.E.'s(Pride,Individualityand Equality) Group celebrated<br />

PRIDE week which aims to support Rainbow young people to have a<br />

sense of belonging in our schools and community.<br />

The AshColl Student Executive worked alongside the P.I.E.'sGroup by<br />

hosting an AshColl Pride ‘No Uniform Day’. Students came to school<br />

wearing what they took pride in, whether that was their favourite<br />

sports team, idol, sexuality, or the team they played for.The group also<br />

organised abake sale and flew the rainbowflag,asisshown elsewhere<br />

Cook IslandsLanguageWeek<br />

Cook Islands Language week is coming up and will celebrate the<br />

identity, languages, and culture ofstudents from the Cook Islands,<br />

which helps in the journey towards ashared cultural understanding. I<br />

lunchtime therewas aperformanceput together by groups of people doing<br />

traditional Samoan dances or singing their cultural songs.The performances<br />

inspiring to see all those people representing their culture. Everything was<br />

exceptionally performed and it wasanamazing experience.<br />

In between acts the audience was asked some questions to test their<br />

The power of words<br />

“It’s only words, but wordsare all I<br />

have”This wasaline from asongby<br />

the BeeGees manyyears ago.<br />

Words havepower. Theyhavean<br />

impact on us. Theycan be usedto<br />

builduportotear down. They can be<br />

used to hide evil or to expose it. Words<br />

can be false or true.How we choose to<br />

speakchanges lives –both oursand<br />

thosewho hear us.<br />

Consider how wordscan be building<br />

blocks. They can buildpeople up.<br />

Maybe in the sense of givingthem<br />

confidence, maybe in the senseof<br />

giving them knowledge, maybe in the<br />

sense of giving them frameworksto<br />

express or betterunderstandwhat<br />

theyknow.Wordscan bringcomfort in<br />

timesofsorrow. They can be used to<br />

buildrelationships­even without<br />

intentionality, but justinthe courseof<br />

engaging in conversationwith<br />

another.<br />

Then again, wordscan bebattering<br />

rams to knock people back or to<br />

silence them. Clichés canbeused<br />

this way. Thinkofhow often a<br />

disagreement can be met with “That’s<br />

xxxx­phobic”. That used to mean a<br />

fearofsomething, like<br />

claustrophobic being afear of<br />

enclosedspaces.Nowithas become a<br />

condemnation of any who might<br />

disapprove of whatever the” xxxx”<br />

CHRISTIAN COMMENT<br />

might be, as away of silencing<br />

disagreement. Our wordsare<br />

important not only in what they say<br />

but in how it issaid.Inthe Bible we<br />

read in Paul’s lettertothe Colossians<br />

Let your speech always be gracious,<br />

seasoned with salt,sothatyou may<br />

know how you ought to answer each<br />

person–even if in strong<br />

disagreement.<br />

Most of thetimeweshould focus on<br />

words that are building blocks. There<br />

is aneed forwords of comfort in<br />

times of suffering, loss or distress.<br />

Those words are best anchored<br />

outside of ourselves in the ultimate<br />

Comforter,yet expressed throughour<br />

IntroducingIan Soper,the Council’s<br />

newOpen Spaces manager<br />

IanSopercan step out hisoffice doorto<br />

check out thebest piece of real estatein<br />

town: the<strong>Ashburton</strong>Domain.<br />

He is <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council’s new<br />

OpenSpacesManager and knows looking<br />

after the domain, aswell as other parks<br />

and green spaces all aroundthe district,is<br />

an important job.<br />

Ian has come to <strong>Ashburton</strong> from Gore<br />

District Council where hemanaged the<br />

parks department there for 16years. His<br />

horticultural working career,which started<br />

as an apprentice in 1980, also covers<br />

private enterprise and local government<br />

experience.<br />

Passing through <strong>Ashburton</strong> over the<br />

years, he has always been impressed<br />

by <strong>Ashburton</strong>’s domain, considered the<br />

town’s jewel in the crown, and is now<br />

pleasedtocallthisregionhome.Ianandhis<br />

wifeSuehavefamilyspreadfromNelsonto<br />

Southland, so <strong>Ashburton</strong> is ideallyplaced<br />

fortravel to see grandchildren either way.<br />

And it is an exciting time to be arriving at<br />

Council when the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Domain is<br />

about to embark on aperiod ofchange<br />

that will set itupfor the next 100 years<br />

following the adoption of a 30-year<br />

development plan. The plan includes<br />

proposals formoving the main entranceto<br />

Walnut Avenue, adding asealed perimeter<br />

path, and playground improvements.<br />

All green spaces cycle through periods<br />

of development, consolidation and<br />

maintenance.<br />

Officially, the domain and other green<br />

spaces areamenitiestobemanaged, but<br />

theyalso requirepassion and agood longterm<br />

vision.While footpaths canbedug up<br />

and replaced in aweek,the value of atree<br />

planted in the domainmight not be visible<br />

for80years.<br />

Managing the space isabout making it<br />

safe, attractive, usable and educational.<br />

Trees, especiallysome of the oldest ones,<br />

require close attention and there are<br />

plentyofmaturevarieties to keep an eye<br />

on.<br />

Ian hopes in the future to have domain<br />

maps that show the tracks and paths,<br />

and even an app that shares historical<br />

information about particular trees or<br />

areasofthe domain.<br />

Partofhisroleisliaisingwiththe<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Domain User Group, which includes<br />

sporting and other groups using the space,<br />

so information canbemoreeasily shared<br />

about ongoing work.<br />

Ian'swider role as Open Spaces Manager<br />

also includes oversight of the district's<br />

cemeteries, its public toilet facilities,<br />

stockwater race management,support for<br />

reserve boards and general beautification<br />

of the district.<br />

The town’s pioneers, who created the<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Domain, wouldbewell pleased<br />

with their foresight,and Ian looksforward<br />

to continuing to care for and maintain<br />

these beautiful public spaces.<br />

Ng King Bros ChineseMarket Garden<br />

Settlement highly commended at<br />

Canterbury HeritageAwards<br />

The Ng King Brothers Chinese Market<br />

Garden Settlement in <strong>Ashburton</strong> won<br />

high praise atthe Canterbury Heritage<br />

Awards as an exceptional cultural<br />

heritagelandscape.<br />

The former marketgarden settlement was<br />

one of four finalists in the outstanding<br />

contribution toheritage award category.<br />

The buildings of the former settlement<br />

are currently being restored in ajoint<br />

projectinvolving theNg Kingdescendants,<br />

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

NewZealandPouhereTaonga.<br />

The Allens Road site, which is protected as<br />

apost-1900 archaeological siteand listed<br />

as aCategory 1historic place, impressed<br />

judges in the Canterbury awards, who<br />

said it wasanexemplary partnership that<br />

would promote understanding of the<br />

early Chinese settlers’ contribution to the<br />

Canterburyregion over 100 years.<br />

“The site was more than abusiness, it<br />

was where those settlers lived, learned<br />

and socialised, ameetingplacefor South<br />

Island Chinese communities and abase<br />

where Chinese newcomers transitioned<br />

into New Zealand life,” the judging panel<br />

said.<br />

The market garden settlement operated<br />

from the early 1920s until 1964 and was<br />

the largest Chinese community in the<br />

Once restored, the grounds will be open<br />

to the public as acommunity heritage<br />

park and will tell the story ofChinese<br />

immigration to New Zealand, aswell as<br />

how the buildings wereused and what it<br />

wasliketolive on the settlement.<br />

In addition to restoring the heritage<br />

buildings, picnic areas, walkways, and<br />

open spaces for informal recreation are<br />

planned.<br />

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

Services Group Manager, Steve Fabish<br />

said that it wasanhonour forthe Ng King<br />

project to make ittothe finals of these<br />

prestigious awards alongside such ahigh<br />

calibreofentrants.<br />

“This isnot only an acknowledgement<br />

of the contribution these early Chinese<br />

settlers made toNew Zealand’s history,<br />

but also awonderful recognitionofall the<br />

hard work that isgoing into saving and<br />

restoringthe site,”hesaid.<br />

The siteisregarded as the lastremaining<br />

example of a20th Century Chinesemarket<br />

garden settlement in NewZealand.<br />

Mount Huttbikepark’s snappynewsign<br />

Expect to seethe Mount HuttBikePark<br />

blowingupon social mediasoon, thanks<br />

to abig, colourful sign at its entrance.<br />

The sign, which is fixed in the ground with<br />

repurposed steel irrigation pipes, isthe<br />

work of Methven sculptor Hannah Kidd,<br />

who cycles the park’s mountain trails<br />

herself.<br />

The top ofthe sign is arainbow made<br />

of corrugated iron and there is space<br />

underneath for mountainbikers totake<br />

photos, with the Mid Canterburyplains as<br />

astunning backdrop.<br />

Hannah made the sign for Bike Methven,<br />

avolunteer group thatruns the bikepark,<br />

and the work has been supported by a<br />

$5336 grant from the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />

Council’screative communities fund.<br />

The bike park attracts ridersfromall over<br />

the South Islandand is accessed off the Mt<br />

Hutt skifield road. It contains over 30km of<br />

trails, including many thatare suitable for<br />

riding in the winter –meaning visitors to<br />

the area in winter canstill havefun if the<br />

mountain is closed.<br />

The park has aloyal and growing group<br />

of users in Mid Canterburyall year round<br />

and attracts day and weekend riders<br />

from Christchurch and further afield. It<br />

hosted the South Island SecondarySchool<br />

Mountainbike Championships earlier<br />

this year,bringinghundreds of ridersand<br />

supporterstoMethven.<br />

Hannah ran a competition during<br />

lockdown last year forideas forthe sign’s<br />

design.<br />

“We had loads of really great entries and<br />

ended up settling on the rainbow idea.<br />

We wanted the signtobebright and eyecatching,<br />

something iconic that people<br />

would want to have their photos taken<br />

with.”<br />

The sign itself is made from steel and<br />

flattened out corrugatediron. It has been<br />

coated with aspecial zinc anti corrosion<br />

product and then painted. Hannah has<br />

been working on it steadily all this year.<br />

Whilethecreativecommunitiesgrantwasa<br />

greathelp,Hannahhasalsohaddonations<br />

of time from committee members and<br />

friends with usefulequipment. The posts<br />

for the sign are from old irrigation pipes<br />

donated by local farmer David Keeley<br />

and concrete was donated by Methven<br />

Trucking.<br />

Hannah said thepark wasaone-stop shop<br />

forbikers.<br />

“We love it as afamily, but for different<br />

reasons.Ilovetheclimbs,whereasthekids<br />

areinspiredmost by being shuttledtothe<br />

downhill tracks. There areaccessible trails<br />

that caterfor folk who arejust starting out,<br />

good challenging intermediatetrails with<br />

rewarding climbs that lead to some quite<br />

rowdydownhill tracks.<br />

“We wanted the signtorepresent all of the<br />

above and be welcoming.”<br />

BikeMethven president Ricky Brown said<br />

Sculptor Hannah Kidd enlisted husband<br />

Richard Morris, a telehandler machine<br />

and fellow bikers Cam Bisset and Fred<br />

Holmberg to manoeuvre the Mount Hutt<br />

bike parksign in place.<br />

the sign would be agreat talking point and<br />

the group wasgratefultothe artistic skills<br />

of Hannah.<br />

The sign is thefinishing touch to awider<br />

project at the carpark area that has<br />

involved anew post and rail fence and<br />

native planting.<br />

Ricky said those who had helped included<br />

fencing contractor Andrew Morgan, Greg<br />

Meadows, Craig Cullimore, landscaper<br />

Dell Phillips and Morris Contracting.<br />

The bike park is on land owned by Sir<br />

Graeme Harrison, who is also amajor<br />

supporter of it becoming apermanent<br />

community asset.<br />

aftertwo years when he asked<br />

Mercedes Benz AClass AMG 45 Shatch.<br />

Merchatchtopperformer<br />

BY BOB NETTLETON<br />

There areaplethora of high performance‘hot<br />

hatches’ on our market, but fewoffer<br />

anywhere near the‘sizzle’ofthe sensational<br />

Mercedes Benz AClass AMG 45 S.<br />

Thisscintillating compact five­door hatch<br />

is in aperformanceleague of it’s own and a<br />

major driving forceinthis vehicles<br />

development. Mercedes Benz has created a<br />

2.0 litre turbo charged motor that’s the most<br />

powerfulonthe planet, withanoutput per<br />

litre of 155 kW.The new­generation<br />

Mercedes­AMG A45S4MATIC liftsthe<br />

performance bar much higher than its hard<br />

charging predecessor, and afull redesign<br />

from the engine and transmission throughto<br />

the bodystructure.<br />

This isn’t acar for thefaint hearted in terms<br />

of both performance and price.Asix digit<br />

$111,000 basepricesticker sees to that. An<br />

optional AMG edition1package on thetest<br />

vehicle pushed the asking priceout to a<br />

whopping $119,000. Even taking into account<br />

the phenomenal performanceonoffer, thisis<br />

still aseriously large sum of moneytooutlay<br />

for asmallishhatch, albeit no ordinary one.<br />

At the heart of this model is amilestone<br />

engine designachievement for Mercedes­<br />

AMG –aturbochargedfour­cylinder engine<br />

generating an astonishing 310 kW of power<br />

and 500 Nm of torque.Ithas the perfectgearchanging<br />

companion in anew 8automatic<br />

dual­clutch transmission ready to play hard<br />

and fastwith eight ratios at is disposal, and<br />

gearshiftsmeasured in milliseconds.<br />

Incredibly quick off the mark and super<br />

responsive rightacross the rev range,thisisa<br />

genuinehard­wired performancehatchthat<br />

lives up to all the hype around it andmore. A<br />

delightfully throatysporty exhaust note<br />

provides the perfect sound track, for one of<br />

the rockstarsofthe premium ‘hot’ hatch<br />

scene.Almost as impressiveasthe withering<br />

performance, is just howreadily it adapts to<br />

the motoring mundane such going to the local<br />

supermarket forthe weeklyshop.This ‘hot’<br />

hatch will be one of the coolest customers in<br />

the supermarket carpark!<br />

The testcar wasimpeccablyfinished. All<br />

the switches andcontrolfor lights, wipers and<br />

indicatorsare easy to find andoperate. This<br />

is acompact luxuryhatch withonly adequate<br />

passenger andload space.<br />

engine, transmission, suspension,steering<br />

andair conditioning to meet thedriver's<br />

preferences. There are fourdriving modes,<br />

“Comfort”, “Sport”, “Eco” and “Individual”.<br />

This is technologythat works andlargely<br />

delivers on what it promises. You would<br />

expect, wellatleast Idid, that ride quality,<br />

would take abackseat in such ahyper<br />

focused performancehatch. To Mercedes<br />

credit,they have factored in enough bump<br />

absorbency ability to effectively manage<br />

invasive suspension noiseand much of the<br />

abrasiveness associated with asuspension<br />

system tuned for optimumroad holding. The<br />

handling like the performanceisprodigious<br />

with levels of grip andtraction from the<br />

suspensionand 4WD system, that arenext<br />

level and beyond. Mercedes have pulled offa<br />

stunner to produce arideand handling<br />

Apple trees ‘confused’<br />

Some of the apple trees in Dave<br />

Thomson’s orchard are confused<br />

and have re­blossommed and are<br />

now fruit­bearing.<br />

The lifestyle blockowner lives<br />

5km from Hinds and has about40<br />

older variety trees on his property.<br />

Every year the trees blossomin<br />

Spring and Dave picks his apples in<br />

February, before the birds get them.<br />

He enjoys the fruit and feedsany<br />

surplus to his animals.<br />

Recent new blossom on three<br />

trees caughtDave’s eye and there<br />

are now golf ball­sized apples<br />

growing.<br />

‘‘I couldn’t believe it. I’m<br />

confused,the trees are confused and<br />

they thinkit’s spring again.’’<br />

He said autumn had been mild<br />

this year,but the apples would not<br />

enjoy and survivewinter frosts.<br />

Dave, whoisretired and aformer<br />

rural realestateagent, has lived on<br />

his property for more than 20 years<br />

and has never seenwinter blossom<br />

or fruit before.<br />

‘‘It might be the sign of things to<br />

come,who knows.’’<br />

Apple trees in Dave Thomson’s Hinds<br />

orchard are bearingunseasonal fruit.<br />

enrolment scheme of <strong>Ashburton</strong> Borough School. This is because Allenton<br />

School has recently reduced their home zone due to the risk of<br />

overcrowding and this area will now be in zone for <strong>Ashburton</strong> Borough<br />

School.<br />

This amendment proposes that students will be able to enrol if they live<br />

within the home zone described on this website –<br />

https://consultation.education.govt.nz/education/ashburton-boroughschool-minor-amendment.<br />

The enrolment of out-of-zone students is governed by the provisions of the<br />

Education and Training Act 2020.<br />

Comments can be made to<br />

Canterbury.EnrolmentSchemes@education.govt.nz by 22 July <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
