MidCanterbury schoolboy<br />
rugby will be showcased at the<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 />
of playersfrom<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
College,Mount Hutt and<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 />

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 />

Ann seeks parking<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>volunteer AnnMcKay is seeking<br />
support for her mobilityrestricted peers,<br />
who havebeen more restricted due to alack<br />
of parkinginthe centralbusiness district.<br />
She is hoping to garner enough support to<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 />
in this newsletter.<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 />
challenge everyone to get involved by either: learning aphrase aday,<br />
exploring artwork from the Cook Islands, and engaging in community<br />
and school events.<br />
Ibelieve itisimportant that wecontinue toactively highlight and<br />
embrace our diverse AshColl community, as these differences are what<br />
makes our school unique and special.<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 />
knowing the comfortthatHehas<br />
brought to us.<br />
The ultimate word is Jesusthe<br />
Word of God. He brings both comfort<br />
andchallenge.Aswereadin the<br />
Gospel of John“ThewordsIhave<br />
spokentoyou arespirit andlife”.<br />
Here is the guidetoall ourwords.<br />
May you knowthe blessing of the<br />
Word found in the Gospels.<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 />

South Island during that time.<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 />

with his brotherinNSW.Hemet<br />
up with an aborigine who taught<br />
him many bush skills which<br />
become invaluable in laterlife.<br />
He met up with his brother and<br />
worked on Mt Gibb Station and<br />
aftertwo years when he asked<br />
for araise he wassacked.<br />
Hewas just 21. So he boughta<br />
bullock wagon and carted<br />
supplies to the local miners. A<br />
butchery business was his next<br />
venture and when themine<br />
ownersfellshort on payments<br />
they gave him 15% of shares in<br />
BHP which he promptly sold for<br />
£150. Adecision he regretted for<br />
therest ofhis life. Today the<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 />
Standard safetyincludes drivingassistance<br />
package, active lane change assist andmulti<br />
beam headlights with adaptivehigh beam<br />
assist, sparingthe driver the tedioustaskof<br />

driver is kept snugand comfy in AMG<br />

AMG’sPerformance4MATIC allwheel<br />
drive systemisstandard. WithDYNAMIC<br />
SELECT, the vehiclecharacteristics can be<br />
tweakedbyasimple touch of abutton, that<br />
seesthe systemset about modifying the<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 />
package worthyofthis genuine Xfactor<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 />
