Clever, innovative labels<br />
printedin<strong>Ashburton</strong>on<br />
bottles containing high end<br />
vodka are being marketed and<br />
soldaroundAustralasia and<br />
the UK, including in top<br />
London department store<br />
Harrods.<br />
The top shelf singlemalt<br />
vodka is made by Cardrona<br />
Distillery, which also makes<br />
bespoke whiskies, gins and<br />
liqueurs, and the printing is<br />
donebyJuice Signs +Design<br />
in the Triangle.<br />
Juice, run by Justin Skilling<br />
and EmmaJackson, has<br />
diversified from its usual<br />
signwriting and designwork to<br />
be apart of the promotion of a<br />
premium New Zealand<br />
product.<br />
Justin said the distillery had<br />
approached him about the<br />
possibility of printing directly<br />

Direct printing wasseenby<br />
Cardrona Distillery as adding<br />
further quality to the<br />
presentation of the high end<br />
product.<br />
Discussions startedovera<br />
yearago and it was during<br />
lockdown whentime was spent<br />
investigating optionsonjust<br />
how to do it.<br />
Research was doneonline to<br />
look at what was beingdone<br />
around the world andfour<br />
options were considered.<br />
‘‘It is new ground for us and<br />
innovative stuff, but we’ve had<br />
fresh eyesonit and pushed<br />

Work on repairing thedip on<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong>bridge is making<br />
progress with themain river<br />
flow diverted fromthe affected<br />
settledpier to allow<br />
contractorstoget close enough<br />

The settlement occurred at a<br />
pierabout 100metres from the<br />
north end of the bridge when<br />
floodflows, concentratedby<br />
debris damming, damaged<br />
existing scourprotection and<br />
mobilisedbed material around<br />
the piles.<br />
The structure has since been<br />
proofloaded and assessed by<br />
engineers monitoring the<br />
structure closely through<br />
multiple surveys, detailed<br />
structure inspections and<br />
electronic (real time)<br />
monitoring.<br />
NZ TransportAgency<br />
network manager Jessica<br />
McFarlane said all of the<br />
measureshave shown thatthe<br />
pier had stabilised following<br />
thelateMay flood event,once<br />
thebed material resettled, and<br />
thestructure was safefor<br />
continued use.<br />
‘‘Overthe last couple of<br />
months, Waka Kotahiand<br />
bridge advisors at WSP, and<br />
construction companies<br />
Downer and FultonHogan,<br />
have been working together to<br />
reinstate the structure to its<br />
originalposition andreturn the<br />

Thebridge superstructure<br />
including its beams, concrete<br />
deck,footways andserviceswill<br />
be lifted off the pierusing<br />
hydraulic jacks toprovide a<br />

‘‘Once this has been done,<br />
pier support and restraintto<br />
the ends of thebeams will be rebuilt<br />
withreinforced concrete<br />
to providearobustconnection<br />
between the beams andpier to<br />
permanently recover the<br />
bridge.<br />
‘‘Pier scour protection will<br />
also be reinstated,consistent<br />
withthe rest of the structure.’’<br />
The bridge performance will<br />
continue to be closely<br />
monitored over themonths<br />

TONI.WILLIAMS<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
Growing demand for covid<br />
vaccinations across Mid<br />
Canterbury has officials<br />
working to get additional<br />
clinics up and running.<br />
The district currently has five<br />
covid vaccination clinics<br />
operating in <strong>Ashburton</strong> and one<br />
in Methven.<br />
But Canterbury District<br />
Health Board senior<br />
responsible officer for the<br />
Covid19 response Dr Helen<br />
Skinner said more were<br />
planned.<br />
‘‘An additional four general<br />
practices and pharmacies in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> have indicated their<br />
interest and have started the<br />
process towards becoming<br />
vaccination clinics,’’ she said.<br />
There was also amobile<br />
clinic for the Pasifika<br />
community planned in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> this weekend.<br />
‘‘Because of the current<br />
demand for vaccinations in Mid<br />
Canterbury, we’re working with<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council,<br />
local community and health<br />
providers to provide additional<br />
popup clinics,’’ she said.<br />
In <strong>Ashburton</strong> there are six<br />
clinics;Eastfield Health, Life<br />
Pharmacy <strong>Ashburton</strong>, Methven<br />
MedicalCentre, Three Rivers<br />

Everest climber inspires youngsters<br />
TONI.WILLIAMS<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
MikeRead has been influencingthe next<br />
generation of adventurers.<br />
TheHinds farmer, is alsoakeen<br />
adventurer, and most recently has been<br />
takingonthe seven summits of the world;<br />
an organised mountaineering adventure<br />
with others taking on seven of thehighest<br />
peaks on each continent aroundthe<br />
world.<br />
He has done fivebut covid has stopped<br />
himclimbing the last two; Vinson Massif<br />
(Antarctica) and PuncakJaya or<br />
CarstenszPyramid (PapuaNew Guinea).<br />
Mikeshared candid stories about his<br />
2018 climb to Mt Everest, the highest<br />
mountain in the world, this week to<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Scouts, theirleaders and<br />
parents at ManiaORoto Scout Park.<br />
He showed the scouts photos and video<br />
footage, and also had some of his survival<br />
kitwith him, including his most trusty<br />
pieceofequipment his axe.<br />
And explained some of the challenges<br />
of living for two andhalf months at high<br />
altitude, theaffect of the lack of oxygen<br />
on the body andarounddecision making,<br />
clothing needs, and dietand toiletry<br />
requirements in temperatures as low as<br />

minus 50 degrees at night, and as high as<br />
40 degrees by day.<br />
It took two weeks to walk to base camp,<br />
the equivalent distance from <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
to Christchurch, which allowed the body<br />
to acclimatise to living at high altitude,<br />
he said.<br />
One of the side effectsofbeing at high<br />
altitude was alackofappetite the<br />
digestive system slowed down,and you<br />
hadtoforce yourself to eat, he said.<br />
Mikelived on Jelly Babies, which was<br />
theonlysugary thing he could eatatthe<br />
time butnow he can not stand to look at<br />
them.<br />
He started the climb weighing 80kg,<br />
and by the time he finished he weighed<br />
63kg.<br />
‘‘Our muscles and ourbody, starts<br />
deteriorating quite fast. As we get higher<br />
(up the mountain) our bodies actually<br />
start dying, we can’t be at the altitudes<br />
that we are for too long.’’<br />
The mountain is unforgiving, hesaid.<br />
There wereseven deaths on the<br />
mountain during the2018climbing<br />
season.<br />
Mike, 36,has traversed through<br />
blizzards on theDenali mountainrange<br />
in Alaska, whichismore than6000m<br />
above sea level (almost twice the height<br />
of Aoraki/Mt Cook), crossed the tropical<br />
grasslandsofthe African Savanna,<br />
crossed deserts, lived in jungles and<br />
made friends from around the world.<br />
‘‘When Iwas acub and scout Iused to<br />
dream about going around the worldand<br />
doing awesomecool stuff,’’hesaid.<br />
He started his adult life working on the<br />
family arable and horticulture farm and<br />
one day, sitting on the tractor, realised<br />
he hadnot fulfilled his childhood dream.<br />
He took the leapand booked in his first<br />
adventure.<br />
It was 2013 and he hasnot looked back.<br />

Men’s health important to Greg<br />
MICK.JENSEN<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
Greg Dunne is new to town and<br />
wants to normalise counselling<br />
in thecommunity.<br />
As acounsellorhehas a<br />
particular interest in men’s<br />
health and works primarily<br />
from cognitive therapy<br />
modality.<br />
He strongly believes that<br />
learnedbehaviours and<br />
patternsofthought canbe<br />
changed.<br />
‘‘It takesalot of courage, and<br />
more so for men, to admit that<br />
things are not going well in<br />
their lives and to reach out for<br />
help.<br />
‘‘Many men have that stiff<br />
upper lip and bottlethingsup,<br />
which is nothealthy.’’<br />
Greg says male mental<br />
health needs addressing<br />
because suiciderates in New<br />
Zealandare far too high<br />
He had worked withfarmers<br />
and other meninthe North<br />
Island,and isolation andlongheld<br />
family valuesand<br />
practices were, in part, the<br />
reasons for depression.<br />
In his experience of dealing<br />
with adolescents andyoung<br />
men they didnot always fully<br />
understand the reasonthey<br />
were coming for counselling.<br />
‘‘Thestarting pointis<br />
helpingpeople to gettoknow<br />
themselves better and as they<br />
reveal facts abouttheir<br />
background,homevaluesand<br />
life,apictureisbuilt up.<br />
‘‘With morerevealed,<br />
communication improves and<br />
help can be given to bring<br />
aboutpositivechange.’’<br />
Raising selfesteem and<br />
confidenceweretwo areas<br />
where counselling could help.<br />
The 58year old, afather of<br />
five, says he sawhis role as the<br />
facilitatorand the ‘‘copilot’’<br />
on the journey.<br />
People are theauthors of<br />
their own destiny, he says.<br />
‘‘It’s often amatter of<br />
drawingout negative thoughts<br />
and processes andworking<br />
withcognitivetherapytools to<br />
help people achieve better and<br />
healthier lives which in turn<br />
help themrealizetheir full<br />
Greg Dunne is new<br />
to <strong>Ashburton</strong> and<br />
keen to share his<br />
counselling skills<br />
and knowledge.<br />
potential.’’<br />
Greg says throughhis studies<br />
andbydrawingonhis ownlife<br />
experience he understoodthe<br />
powerspoken wordsand<br />
thoughts could have on the<br />
quality of our life.<br />
Counselling could help<br />
people with personal and<br />
relationship issues, mental<br />
health andproblem solving.<br />
Oneonone sessions and<br />
family counselling sessions,<br />
typically 50 minuteslong,<br />
could tackle arange of areas<br />
including addiction,anxiety,<br />

‘‘This supports comments<br />
from our traindriversthat<br />
peopleare taking unnecessary<br />
riskswhen crossing the<br />
tracks.’’<br />
Findings from the studyhave<br />
promptedanew safety<br />
campaign being launched at<br />
Parliament on Monday<br />
warning people to be vigilant<br />
whencrossingrailway lines.<br />
KiwiRailGroupchief<br />
executive Greg Miller said<br />
while thecampaigntargets<br />
provincial NewZealand, it is<br />
an important messagefor<br />
everyone.<br />
“Farmersand rural workers<br />
are overrepresentedinthe<br />
statisticswhen it comes to<br />
seriousinjury and fatal vehicle<br />
crashes.<br />
“Peoplein rural areas often<br />
starttheir dayearly. Crossing<br />
railway lines safely may notbe<br />

“Train accidents are<br />
unforgiving. The average<br />

easily.<br />
“Weare seeing at least one<br />
vehicle collision on train lines<br />
aroundNew Zealandevery<br />
three weeks, and anear miss<br />
every fewdays.<br />
“Tragically, in the past10<br />
years 163 people have died on<br />
the rail network,54ofthoseat<br />
level crossings. We don’t want<br />
to see anotherlife lost.”<br />
TrackSAFE NZ Foundation<br />
manager MeganDrayton says<br />
thatwhilethe number of<br />
collisions with vehiclesat<br />
public levelcrossings is<br />
declining,there is no roomfor<br />
complacency.<br />
“In the <strong>12</strong> months to June,<br />
KiwiRailrecorded 31<br />
collisions with trains on the<br />
national network, 17 involving<br />
vehiclesand 14 involving<br />
pedestrians. Of these, <strong>12</strong><br />
occurredatlevel crossingson<br />
public roads, mostofwhich<br />
hadflashing lights,bells or<br />

It isnot onlypeople at riskin<br />

In the past<strong>12</strong>months,<br />
KiwiRailtraindrivers<br />
(locomotive engineers) have<br />
recorded65incidents of hitting<br />
livestock, usually with<br />
catastrophicconsequencesfor<br />
the animals.<br />
“These incidents are<br />
obviously disastrousfor the<br />
animals involved,but alsocan<br />

locomotiveengineers, farmers<br />
andothers whomay be<br />
requiredtoeuthanise injured<br />

“Other thandrivers,cyclists<br />
andpedestrians taking careto<br />

our 3700kmrail corridor is no<br />
place for the public or<br />

There were still too many<br />

Avintage film showinglife on a<br />
high country station will be<br />
shownatthe Geraldine Cinema<br />
this Sunday.The moviewas<br />
shot by Mesopotamia Station<br />
farmer Malcolm Prouting<br />
duringthe 1950s and60s.<br />
Malcolm’s son Ray Prouting<br />
said hisfather boughta16mm<br />
GB Bell &Howell movie<br />
cameraduringthe war years<br />
and started shootinganything<br />
of interestthat happened on<br />
the station.<br />
‘‘Itwas mostly filmed on the<br />
station withalittle bit of family<br />
life. It has beenedited into<br />
seasons working on the<br />
station.’’<br />
The film was originally<br />
edited by Malcolm,more<br />
recently production editor Sam<br />
Miller converted the film into<br />
digital format and remastered<br />
it withsound effects and<br />
narration for the screenings.<br />
As he wasworking on the<br />
footage Sam realised he had<br />
something special.<br />
‘‘What makes it special is the<br />
quality of thethe footage and<br />
the time period,itwas so early<br />
and it is full colour, Malcolm<br />
did an amazingjob.’’<br />
‘‘The addedsound effects<br />
makes it really interesting,it<br />
was abig job but the sound<br />
brings the film to life.’’<br />
Ray and his family narrated<br />
the film withtheir personal<br />
stories of highcountry life.<br />
‘‘All my brothersand sisters<br />
watched the film and talked<br />
about it as it played and Sam<br />
recorded that and put it as the<br />
soundtrack.’’<br />
Oncethe film wascompleted<br />
there was aspecialshowing for<br />
the extended family, 70 family<br />
members watchedthe film at<br />
the Geraldine Cinema.<br />
‘‘We really loved watching<br />
the film it was one of our<br />
greatest days,’’ Ray said.<br />
‘‘We owe it to the community<br />
because there have beenso<br />
many people from<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
andGeraldineinvolved with<br />
the station.<br />
‘‘I think dad would be pretty<br />
chuffed to know his film is<br />
being shown to the public.’’<br />

Footpath off radar<br />
There will be no formal footpath<br />
laid from Methven township to<br />
the new Opuke Thermal Pools<br />
and Spa untilthe hot pools<br />
project has been completed and<br />
while the speed limit along the<br />
road remainsat100kmh.<br />
Speaking at arecentMethven<br />
Community Board (MCB)<br />
meeting board member Ron<br />
Smith asked if afootpath was<br />
planned and who would be<br />
payingfor it.<br />
Afootpath was definitely<br />
needed, he said, becausesome<br />
peoplewouldwant to walk<br />
there.<br />
He was concernedabout<br />
possible safety issues because<br />
the road went from 50kmh to<br />
100kmh.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>District Council<br />
infrastructure services manager<br />
Neil McCann said afootpath<br />
couldn’t be put in until the pools<br />
project was completed and only<br />
then if NZTA agreedtolower<br />
the speed limit.<br />
Last week MCB chairman Dan<br />
McLaughlin raised the issueata<br />
road safety meeting attended by<br />
anumber of agenciesincluding<br />
NZTA.<br />
Mr McLaughlin said NZTA<br />
had toldhim aspeedlimit<br />
changewas along process and<br />
likelytwo to three years away.<br />
State Highway 77 coming out<br />
of Methven was not seen as<br />
dangerous spot and was not a<br />
priority for NZTA.<br />
Although disappointed, Mr<br />
McLaughlin saidhecould<br />
understand the reasoning.<br />
‘‘I was toldtokeep raisingthe<br />
speed limitconcern with NZTA<br />
and to keep it on the radar,<br />
which Iintend doing through<br />
council.’’<br />
The Opuke Thermal Pools<br />
and Spa is expected to be abig<br />
drawcard for Methven and is<br />
scheduled to open at the end of<br />
this month.<br />

Geraldine<br />
transport<br />
plan ticked<br />
Awide ranging plan to improve transport<br />
in Geraldine has been given the green<br />
light.<br />
The Geraldine Transport Strategy,<br />
endorsed by Geraldine Community Board<br />
after consultation with the community,<br />
was adopted unanimously at arecent<br />
Timaru District Council meeting.<br />
The strategy has the vision that the<br />
Geraldine’s transport system ‘‘provides<br />
safe access for all types of travel and<br />
promotes economic growth by enabling<br />
tourism and freight’’.<br />
Council land transport manager<br />
Susannah Ratahi said there had been a<br />
high level of community engagement on<br />
the plan.<br />
It identified anumber of priorities for<br />
the town split into short term (within three<br />
years), medium term (between three and<br />
10 years) and long term (10 to 30 years).<br />
Shortterm priorities include an<br />
upgraded walking and cycling connection<br />
between the Geraldine Primary School<br />
and the Geraldine High School, an<br />
investigation of the Cox/Talbot Street<br />
intersection including pedestrian access<br />
to identify short and mediumterm<br />
improvements and areview of speed<br />
limits.<br />
Mediumterm priorities include crosstown<br />
walking improvements on Hislop and<br />
Huffey Streets, raised pedestrian<br />
platforms in the shopping area on Pine<br />
Street, Peel Street and Wilson Street, and<br />
improved connections to aged care<br />
facilities.<br />
Also identified are cycling<br />
improvements on Hislop, George, Jollie<br />
and Tripp Streets, cycle warning signage<br />
on the Waihi River Bridge and ashared<br />
walking and cycling path through the<br />
domain.<br />
Longterm priorities look at cycling<br />
improvements on Talbot Street through<br />
the commercial area to Connolly Street<br />
and an investigation of state highway<br />
diversion from Cox Street to Talbot and<br />
Kennedy Streets.<br />
The priorities outlined in the strategy<br />
will be undertaken by the council, subject<br />
to funding from council and NZTA.<br />

Sabbatical Leave/Curriculum Change<br />
This is my firstnewsletter since returning from my<br />
term’s sabbatical leave. Last term was afantastic<br />
opportunity toexplore what other schools are<br />
doing within New Zealand, particularly around<br />
preparing staff and students for avery different<br />
futureworld.<br />
With overseas travel unavailable (thankgoodness<br />
Ididn’t visit schools in Australia), my focus wason<br />
visiting schools who are undertaking curriculum<br />
change.<br />
My main focus was onthe changes that schools are undertaking to<br />
prepare for aworkplace that requires adifferent set of skills. Wenow<br />
know that dispositions such as creative problem-solving, resilience,<br />
co-operation and effective oral language will become essential skills in<br />
the future workplace.<br />
The challenge for secondary schools is how totransform our previous<br />
model, which had traditionally valued retention of knowledge, and<br />
changed the focus sothat learners develop the future dispositions<br />
referred to above. Inmytime Ivisitedtwelvesecondaryschools,and we<br />
were abletoshareideas and journeys.<br />
My thanks to our BoardofTrustees forsupporting my endeavour,and to<br />
Acting Principal Jono Hay, Acting Deputy Principal Angela Mitchell and<br />
Acting HeadofFaculty Greta Hampton, fortaking on extraresponsibilities<br />
during thistime.<br />
OpenNight<br />
Our recent Open Night was well attended, with about 500 people<br />
attending across thetwo sessions. We were luckywith the weather (fine<br />
and frosty)because attendance is oftenlimited if the weatherisdismal.<br />
We had lots ofpositive feedback from those who attended, particularly<br />
around the enthusiasm for AshColl by our staff and from our student<br />
guides.<br />
This eventwas followedupbylast week’s enrolmentinterviews. Theseare<br />
invaluable forusbecausethey areachancetofind out about astudent’s<br />
learning goalsand challenges, andwhattheirpassions and interests are.<br />
We then follow upwith in-person visits to contributing schools. My<br />
thankstoour officestaff who organise this hectic event.<br />
Please notethere areatleast fortyYear 8studentsinour communitywho<br />
haven’t enrolled anywhere as yet. If you are reading this and thinking<br />
that‘I must get aroundtoenrolling Junior’can youplease do this as soon<br />
as possible.<br />
This is important asschools are beginning to recruit staff for next year,<br />
and students who enrol in late January often find that their preferred<br />
options arealready full.<br />
Cancellation of Sports Exchange<br />
With regret this year’s sports exchange against Lincoln High School<br />
was cancelled by them. We were due to be hosted by Lincoln, however<br />
they have had major disruptions within their campus and they lack the<br />
necessary space and infrastructure to adequately accommodate us. As<br />
we nowknow, change is aconstant, and we look forwardtoresuming the<br />
challenge next year.<br />
Cook Islands’Language Week<br />
One of the highlights last week was acelebration of Cook Islands'<br />
Language. This week included a lunch-time concert, visits to<br />
pre-schools and achance for our Cook Islands' students to wear their<br />
cultural costumes on Friday. This followed-up on last term’s Samoan<br />
and Solomon Islands’Language celebrations. It’s always fantastic to see<br />
students celebrate their identityand culture.<br />

Election promise delivers on hot drinks<br />
Eleven year old Tinwald School<br />
pupil Matthew Robertson made<br />
an student leader election<br />
campaign promise to his school<br />
peers; warm Milo drinksin<br />
winter.<br />
He won the electionalongsidecoschool<br />
leader<br />
Makayla Burrowes and this<br />
week fulfilled hispromise with<br />
tins of Milo to kickstart the<br />
winter warmer weekly sessions.<br />
He also gained the support of<br />
realtor Kirsty Clay,who<br />
sponsored reusable cupswith<br />
lids for every pupil at the<br />
school.<br />
Matthew puthis name in the<br />
hat for theelections at the<br />
beginning of the year and<br />
sought to fulfillapromise made<br />
by senior pupils last year;to<br />
have hot drinks in winterand<br />
get thepie machine working.<br />
But he could only fulfillone<br />
promise andeveryone liked<br />
Milo, he said.<br />
Matthew’s campaigncaught<br />
the attention of Mrs Claywho<br />
was impressedwithhis<br />
strategy, especially as<br />
everyone at theschoolwould<br />
benefit.<br />
Theoriginal planwas for<br />
pupils to provide their own cup<br />
on the days of the Milo treat,<br />
butthe cups required lids.<br />
Recognising apotential cost<br />
for those without lidded cups,<br />
especially thosewithmultiple<br />
children, Mrs Clay sourced239<br />
reuseable cups to cover the<br />
existing pupils,plus some<br />
extras for anynew arrivals.<br />
Thecups, which childrenget<br />
to keep,havebeen namedby<br />

The winter warmers, which<br />
started yesterday,will run<br />

Headway owner celebrates 40 years<br />
MICK.JENSEN<br />
@ashburtoncourier<br />
JillJoneshas clocked up 40 years<br />
running her salon business Headway<br />
Hair Fashions andisstill passionate<br />
abouther chosencareer path.<br />
Shewas afreshfaced 20yearold<br />
when she took the plungeinto business<br />
ownership and has been in the same<br />
premises at the Tinwald shopping<br />
centre since day one.<br />
Jillsaid it had always been her dream<br />
to do hairdressingand she had never<br />
wanted to do anything else.<br />
‘‘I’ve built up somegreat relationships<br />
with clientsoverthe years and they’ve<br />
been very loyal.<br />
‘‘Some were evencomingtothe salon<br />
before Istarted.’’<br />
Jill, who is 61 on her next birthday,<br />
said her rolewas to make clientslook<br />
good.<br />
It was satisfying work and shehad no<br />
intentionofretiringany time soon.<br />
Her daughter Nicola has worked<br />
alongside her for 18 years andwas<br />
crawlingaround the salon whenshe was<br />
ababy. Shepicked up her mum'sloveof<br />
hairdressing andher own two daughters<br />
hadaplayroomset up at thesalonafew<br />
yearsago.<br />
The last coupleofyears had been<br />
challenging at times,Jill said, not least<br />
because of covid.<br />
‘‘We were closedfor amonth in<br />
February lastyear because of<br />
earthquake strengthening in thesalon<br />
andthen soon after that we had the<br />
lockdown andwereclosed for another<br />
fiveweeks.<br />
‘‘It was atesting time, but the wage<br />
subsidy that Nicola andIreceived was a<br />
bighelp.’’<br />
Jillwas given atillfloat of $55byher<br />
father on herfirst day in the salon on<br />
<strong>August</strong> 1, 1981and withthree days of<br />
bankedtakingsshe wasjustableto<br />
cover staff wages in thatfirst week.<br />
‘‘I started from humble beginnings<br />
and I’m proudofwhatI’veachieved,’’<br />
she said.<br />
Differenthairstyles hadcomeand<br />
gone over the years, butcolour andcurls<br />
were both still popular.<br />
Businesscosts had risen and there<br />
had been advances in technology, which<br />
meantmost payments weremade<br />
electronically, she said.<br />
Since the salon’s firstyear Jill’s<br />
mother has made an annual Christmas<br />
cake that has been sharedwithsalon<br />
clients. This year aspecial birthday<br />
cake has also been made andshared,<br />

Age is no barrier for bowel cancer<br />
The healthsystem is failing<br />
young bowelcancer patients,<br />
Bowel Cancer New Zealand<br />
says.<br />
The organisationis<br />
launching their Never Too<br />
Young campaignwith<br />
increasing concern aboutthe<br />
numberofyoung people<br />
misdiagnosed or on long<br />
waitliststoaccess diagnostic<br />
bowel screening. Morethan 350 people<br />
every year aged under50are diagnosed<br />
with bowel cancer.<br />
Bowel cancer survivorChelsea Halliwell<br />
(pictured), the organiserofthe campaign<br />
and aBowel Cancer NZ ambassador,said<br />
young New Zealanders were still slipping<br />
through the cracks of aseverely<br />
underfunded health system.<br />
“I am absolutely devastatedthat we are<br />
still hearingofyoung people<br />
like Jo McKenzieMcLean, 43,<br />
and HopeBenns, 42, who,<br />
despiteseekinghelp for their<br />
bowel cancer symptoms,were<br />
turned down for diagnostic<br />
bowel screening because they<br />
were consideredtoo young,’’ she<br />
said.<br />
Bowel CancerNZmedical<br />
advisorProfessor Frank<br />
Frizelle saidbowelcancer was<br />
increasingly prevalent in younger people.<br />
‘‘InNew Zealand research has shown<br />
thatamongpatientsaged under 50 years,<br />
the incidence of distal coloniccancer in<br />
men increased by 14 per cent per decade,<br />
while the incidence of rectalcancer in men<br />
increased by 18 per cent and that in women<br />
by 13 per cent.<br />
“Withinthe nextdecade,itisestimated<br />
that 1in10colon cancers and 1in4rectal<br />
cancers will be diagnosed in adults<br />
younger than 50 years,’’ he said.<br />
Healthprofessionals should get<br />
individual patients to do furthertests,no<br />
mattertheir age, should they presentwith<br />
rectalbleeding, change of bowel habit and<br />
stool consistency,hesaid. Bowel Cancer<br />
New Zealand encouraged people to avoid<br />
‘sitting on yoursymptoms’ throughopen<br />
discussionwith medical professionals and<br />
seeking asecond opinion if still concerned.<br />
Bowel cancer symptoms:<br />
include bleeding from the bottom; achange<br />
of bowel habit; any lumps in the stomach;<br />
fatigue or tiredness; anaemia and<br />
unexplained weight loss.<br />

over dentures.<br />

Dentists<br />
Oral Health Therapists<br />
What does the<br />
Oral Health Therapist do?<br />
The Oral Health Therapist will examine your<br />
gums and the soft tissues of your mouth,<br />
identifying any areas of concern. She will<br />
then gently and meticulously remove plaque<br />
and tartar from around your teeth and under<br />
the gumline and will polish off any surface<br />
staining from your teeth.<br />
The Oral Health Therapist will also show<br />
you how to brush and clean between your<br />
teeth effectively so that you can manage<br />
and improve your own dental health at<br />
home and give you practical diet advice to<br />
help keep your teeth healthy.<br />
Why do Ineed healthy<br />
gums?<br />
Having ahealthy mouth contributes<br />
towards your overall health and well being.<br />
Research has shown there are links between<br />
periodontitis and systemic conditions such<br />
as diabetes and heart disease.<br />
We would encourage people to visit our Oral<br />
Health Therapists regularly.<br />
Our Oral Health Therapists also provide a<br />
free consultation to discuss teeth whitening.<br />

Rain gardensclean up stormwaterinCBD<br />
Special rain gardens in<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s<br />
newCBDhavebeenenvironmentally<br />
designed to soak up and filter<br />
stormwater.<br />
Rain run-off from roads typicallyincludes<br />
contaminants likefuels, oil, grease, brake<br />
and tyreresidues but these willbefiltered<br />
out by the rain gardens before the water<br />
goes intoCouncil’s stormwater network.<br />
The hard work is done inthe deep layer<br />
of soiland sand thatsits under the plants.<br />
Size and placement of the gardens<br />
depends on stormwater captured inthe<br />
surrounding area.<br />
Infrastructure Services Group Manager<br />
Neil McCann said the rain gardens needed<br />
to be large enough tocope with high<br />
rainfall events.<br />
“They proved their worth in the big rain<br />
event at the end of May. There was no<br />
floodinginthe CBD,”hesaid.<br />
Some of the smaller garden beds arejust<br />
forcolour andtoimprove the aesthetics.<br />
Allthenewgardenswilleventuallybecome<br />
the responsibility of Counciltomaintain.<br />
The $15 million two-year CBD project is<br />
on track forafinish in lateNovember,with<br />
work about 80 per cent complete.<br />
Speed signs and road markings will be<br />
added once physical work is complete,<br />
and pedestrian crossings will have their<br />
pale strips painted white tomake them<br />
more visible.<br />
Paving work atthe intersection of Moore<br />
Street and East Street isonschedule to<br />
finish by 23 <strong>August</strong> and Moore Streetwill<br />
re-open fully to trafficand pedestrians.<br />

Nearly 18 months ago, David and Lorayne Oakley became the franchise owners of <strong>Ashburton</strong> Windows<br />
&Doors; previously operated as Rylock <strong>Ashburton</strong>, by the late Dougal and Christine Moore. David had<br />
worked for Dougal for 22 years as an aluminium fabricator, and prior to this, was atrade qualified glazier<br />
for Lewis Glass for 11 years. When Dougal decided to sell the business, Dave and Lorayne saw agreat<br />
opportunity to turn adream into reality. Itcertainly was not adream start, with Covid-19 lockdown<br />
bringing trading to ahalt after just five weeks. Following lockdown was like starting all over again.<br />
However the enquiries keep coming in, keeping Sam, who combines roles as an Estimator and Fabricator,<br />
extremely busy, and in July, Gavin joined the team as afabricator. With Sam and Gavin having worked in<br />
the industry for 26 years, along with David, the team have nearly 60 years of experience between them.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Windows &Doors are the sole<br />
Mid Canterbury manufacturer and supplier of<br />
Rylock residential and commercial aluminium<br />
joinery, and the agent and installers of Dual<br />
Glaze retrofitted double glazing.<br />
The company manufacture to the highest<br />
standard, producing quality windows, sliding,<br />
stacker and bi-fold doors, along with an<br />
array of joinery designs and concepts -<br />
with aluminium supplied by Altus NZ, aNZ<br />
company formed following the merger of<br />
Nalco and Fletcher Aluminium.<br />
There is an expansive range of frame colour<br />
options and componentry available to<br />
complete your renovation or new build, along<br />
with glass choices including Low-E (lowemissivity<br />
to improve the energy efficiency of<br />
your home year round), tinted (for privacy and<br />
UV reduction) and many more.<br />
Recently, retrofitting double glazing has kept<br />
the team busy with awareness of the benefits<br />
becoming widely promoted through arecent<br />
TV campaign. Areduction in condensation,<br />
noise along with increased warmth, are some<br />
of the advantages of having single glazed<br />
windows and doors, retro double glazed for<br />
awarmer, drier and healthier home. Itisan<br />
easy process, with the existing aluminium<br />
frame work remaining installed, and only the<br />
opening sashes being newly manufactured,<br />
fitted with double glazed units and new<br />
window hardware, and then re-installed.<br />
Enquire now to replace your single glazed<br />
aluminium windows and doors with this<br />
option and be prepared to be warmer<br />
next winter.<br />
Here’s what our satisfied customers say:<br />

Root canal treatments<br />
Dentist Osvaldo Gonzalez says having aroot<br />
canal treatment isabout saving atooth that<br />
would otherwise be removed. It is achieved by<br />
removing most of the bacteria from within the<br />
rootcanalsystemandpreventinganyreinfection.<br />
It is common practice to perform a root<br />
canal treatment within two to three or<br />
more appointments with the initial visit<br />
about pain relief and/or the chemomechanical<br />
preparation of the area.<br />
This involves accessing the pulp chamber,<br />
the removal ofintracanal soft tissues, which<br />
may be dead, cleaning and shaping of the<br />
root canal(s) and resolving any local infection.<br />
The chemo-mechanical preparation of the<br />
canal(s) is carried out with files, irrigation and<br />
the placement of the medicament calcium<br />
hydroxide inside the canal for atleast aweek.<br />
The next visit is reserved for the sealing of the<br />
canal(s) and the final restoration (filling).<br />
It is very important that the restoration<br />
adequately seals the root filling from infection<br />
and bacteriafromthe mouth.<br />
Teeth undergoing root canal treatment often<br />
have large filling or extensive tooth structure<br />
lost and will require afull coverage or crown to<br />
restoreand protectthem.<br />
The success and longevity of a root canal<br />
treatment can be linked to the use of a<br />
dental dam through out all these steps.<br />
TheprocessiscommonlyusedatOakGroveDental.<br />
The dental dam has proved so effective itis<br />
one of the competencies recommended by the<br />
Dental Council of New Zealand.<br />

Widespread flooding across the<br />

It hadput further pressure on feed<br />
