The <strong>Ashburton</strong> Meat Processors site on Bridge Street.<br />

AMP eyeing tradewaste discharge<br />

MICK.JENSEN<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council is in<br />

discussions with <strong>Ashburton</strong> Meat<br />

Processors (AMP) about the<br />

possibility of atradewaste discharge<br />

from the company’s Bridge Street<br />

site.<br />

AMP approached council earlier<br />

this year about the option and<br />

extended modelling has shown the<br />

discharge can be managed in the<br />

network and at the wastewater<br />

treatment plant.<br />

Authorised by Jo Luxton MP,<br />

Parliament Buildings, Wellington<br />

AMP currently discharges to land<br />

and the move to pipe is seen as having<br />

significant environmental benefits to<br />

the northeast area of <strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />

Further discussions will take place<br />

on the physical means needed to<br />

provide adischarge and apumping<br />

main being built from AMP to the<br />

head of the relief sewer near the<br />

intersection of Bridge and Kitchener<br />

streets.<br />

The discharge option has been<br />

looked at in the past but the quality of<br />

the discharge has since increased and<br />

there is also now more capacity after<br />

the upgrade of the <strong>Ashburton</strong> relief<br />

sewer system.<br />

Council assets manager Andrew<br />

Guthrie told councillors at arecent<br />

briefing that an agreement with AMP<br />

had not yet been reached.<br />

If agreed, it would represent a<br />

‘‘significant’’ single point discharge<br />

and alikely 10 per cent increase into<br />

the system. The discharge would use<br />

some of the scheme’s capacity that is<br />

allocated for growth, but that would<br />

be offset through payment<br />

development contributions from<br />

AMP, he said.<br />

McKenzie said many hours hadbeen<br />

committed in preparations for the<br />

the past seven months and he was<br />

grateful for community support.<br />

Covid restrictions had also affected<br />

the runningofthe MidTownMardi<br />

to take placeonTancredStreet, in<br />

Unable to reachanagreement on<br />

Howeverthere are<br />

Groundswell flags/banners<br />

which can be displayedon<br />

part of the protest.<br />

Groundswell NZ co­founder<br />

Laurie Paterson said<br />

momentumhad continuedto<br />

build since thousands of<br />

farmers, andafairfew dogs,<br />

descended on towns and cities<br />

throughout thecountry for<br />

Howl of aProtest, to oppose<br />

what they calledunworkable<br />

regulations.<br />

More centres wereon board<br />

for this protest, and ahuge<br />

turnout, including many<br />

tradies, was expected in<br />

Auckland.<br />

Groundswell NZ had created<br />

an online tool for supporters to<br />

write to agriculture and rural<br />

communities MinisterDamien<br />

O’Connor, ‘‘to tell him to do his<br />

job and stickupfor rural<br />

communities’’, the group said.<br />

Withinaweekoflaunchit<br />

Thousands attended the Howl<br />

of aProtest in <strong>Ashburton</strong> in<br />

July.<br />

hadgeneratedabout 5000<br />

letters.<br />

Hard copieswould be<br />

deliveredtoMrO’Connor’s<br />

Beehive office beforethe<br />

protest withcopies sentto<br />

Prime Minister JacindaArdern<br />

andclimatechange Minister<br />

James Shaw.<br />

Mr Paterson said virtuallyall<br />

feedback and phone calls<br />

before HowlofaProtestwere<br />

fromrural people but thistime<br />

it was the opposite with the<br />

callscomingout of cities.<br />

‘‘That’s partofour mantra<br />

thistime... town and country<br />

together,’’ he said.<br />

Therewereexpectations of<br />

those attendingMotherofAll<br />

Protests, including obeying<br />

road rules, local Covid­19 rules<br />

and making wayfor emergency<br />

services.<br />

Participants neededtostay<br />

in their vehicleand not<br />

compromisetheir bubble, he<br />

said.<br />

The Groundswell NZ<br />

message would be read by cofounder<br />

Bryce McKenzie,who<br />

would drive intoGoreaspartof<br />

Paterson.<br />

The pairhave recentlyhad<br />

Hot pools opening<br />

pushed back again<br />

Further delays have pushedout<br />

the opening of Methven’s Opuke<br />

Thermal Pools andSpauntil later<br />

this month.<br />

The facility planned to be open<br />

originally for the startofwinter<br />

and had been taking bookings for<br />

a<strong>November</strong> 12 opening. The<br />

openingisnow set for <strong>November</strong><br />

26.<br />

The Opuke website saysa<br />

number of ‘‘unforseentechnical<br />

issues’’ have delayed the<br />

commissioning of the pools andif<br />

they are resolved the pools may<br />

open earlier.<br />

Previously, covid lockdowns<br />

andsupply chains issues were<br />

cited as reasons for the delayed<br />

opening.<br />

Onlinebookings can be made<br />

via theopuke.nz website.<br />

AshColl considering<br />

student cellphone use<br />

MICK.JENSEN<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> College is looking closely at<br />

studentcellphone use at schooland is<br />

gathering information to see if the current<br />

rules needtobechanged.<br />

Currently all studentsare abletobring a<br />

cellphone to school and they can use it in<br />

class if instructed to do so by the teacher.<br />

There are no cellphonerestrictions in<br />

schoolgrounds, but cellphones can be<br />

confiscatedifused inappropriately.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> College principal RossPreece<br />

said there were advantages and<br />

disadvantages to students having cellphone<br />

access at school.<br />

Cellphonesdid not meet the requirements<br />

for bring your own devices like<br />

chromebooks and laptopsand some staff<br />

had suggested cellphones were adistraction<br />

to learning, he said.<br />

‘‘We haveinvestigatedother schools'<br />

approaches and now we are interested in<br />

collecting the viewpoints and perspectives<br />

of members across our school community.’’<br />

Mr Preece said the cellphone at school<br />

debatewas starting from ablank slate and<br />

the views of teachers, parents and pupils<br />

would all be considered.<br />

Any changestothe currentpolicywould<br />

not come into affect until next year, he said.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> College recentlyemailed<br />

parents to invite themtoshare their views<br />

via an online survey.<br />

The email contained anumber of insights<br />

into articlesaddressingcellphones at school<br />

and invited parents to do their own<br />

research.

Welcome<br />

In welcoming all to the Ceremony, DeputyPrincipal Jono Hay noted that<br />

we indeed liveinunique and interesting times,and said it wasunfortunate<br />

we were unable<br />

to have our usual<br />

celebration with<br />

parents,whānau<br />

and invited<br />

guests.<br />

Howeverweall<br />

recognised we<br />

were fortunate<br />

to be able to get<br />

together as a<br />

year level cohort.<br />

(Pictured right):<br />

Principal’s Address<br />

Principal Ross Preece opened with the quote which states‘it was the best<br />

of times and it was the worst of times’, noting it as astatement which<br />

could well summarise students' experiences over the last two years. Ross<br />

suggested that thechallenges of COVID-19 have been many and varied but<br />

an unforgettableexperienceinmanyways.<br />

Listed were some<br />

experiences<br />

which could<br />

featureinthe<br />

‘best of times’<br />

list,including<br />

extended time<br />

with whānau<br />

and sometime<br />

to enjoysimple<br />

pleasures;timing<br />

whichallowed<br />

forthe College<br />

Ball to be ableto<br />

be held;and he highlightedthe support of eachother via social media and<br />

College outlets; plussincereacknowledgement to the mahiofthe student<br />

leaders in maintaining contact, leadershipand by ensuring events still<br />

happenedbut through different mediums.<br />

Thechallengesand disappointmentsofthe ‘worst of times’wereevidentin<br />

the cancellation of so many cultural andsporting events –locally, regionally<br />

and nationally; the stress ofworking to maintain enthusiasm for learning<br />

while online and worrying about falling behind; missing face-to-face<br />

contact with friends and, locally, the combination of COVID and flooding<br />

withconsequential economic hurdles.<br />

However, looking forward, Ross said there were manyprospects forstudents<br />

to be excited about, citing the increasingly large menu ofemployment<br />

opportunities available. He reminded students to remember the<br />

AshColl ValuesofQuality, Pride and Respectwhich would be high on many<br />

employers’wishlists.<br />

Importantly was taking some timetofind an occupation‘thatyou enjoy and<br />

which challenges you togrow’. Ross reminded the students that they are<br />

likely to be working forfifty years,which is averylong time to be miserable.<br />

This year group wasacohortRoss Preecefelt astrong affinitywith,asthey<br />

started College inthe same year as Ross startedatCollege.<br />

Acknowledged on behalf of the year group was the work of and support<br />

from teaching staff to students, and the work and vital role of the current<br />

BoardofTrustees.<br />

In conclusion, Ross continuedhis traditionsofgoing backeighteen years to<br />

look at some of the innovations of the year of students’birth. Listed this time<br />

was Apple’s establishment ofthe ‘I-phone Music Store’and digital cameras<br />

within cellphones.<br />

With afinal Kia Kaha, students were wished well and encouraged to be<br />

excited abouttheirfutures!<br />

Head Students <strong>2021</strong><br />

Head Students Milli Sullivan and Thomas Patterson, aside from their<br />

formal speeches,werethe readers of the Achievement Awardrecipients<br />

lists,while theseawardswerepresentedbyRoss Preece.<br />

Head Girl Speech–MilliSullivan<br />

Milli opened by acknowledging thisasher final time on stage in frontofher<br />

Year 13 peers, sayingshe couldn’t yettell if shewas excited,nervous,sad or<br />

even happy thatthis wasthe end of secondaryschooling.<br />

She continued, saying she could confidently saythatthiswasn’t exactly the<br />

endingoftheir fiveyear College journeythey pictured in their heads when<br />

first walking throughthose College gatesback in 2017, but said‘nonetheless<br />

hereweare<br />

celebrating<br />

making it<br />

through, and<br />

all Ican sayis<br />

congratulations’.<br />

Milli challenged<br />

all to continue to<br />

encourage others<br />

and inspire<br />

themselves to<br />

take on goals to<br />

attain the heights of everyopportunitythatcomes their way. She said also<br />

that, together we walked in through the College gateswith other beloved<br />

students who have begun their journeysinmanyother ways’.<br />

Added was the acknowledgement that, next February, many will be<br />

attending their first year of university, moving away from friends and<br />

families and leaving behind the familiar <strong>Ashburton</strong> College hallways and<br />

starting their first time of independence.<br />

Recognising those steps came with appreciation of opportunities –past,<br />

current and future -which would not have been available without the<br />

people who have guided and mentoredthroughout recent years. Milli then<br />

gave a‘massiveshout out’toparents,who will watchthe ceremony online,<br />

for their support; and to the dedicated teachers of <strong>Ashburton</strong> College<br />

without whom awards and successes would not have been possible, and<br />

formaking school worththe while,through commitment to educationand<br />

ability tomake the environment both fun and asafe place for acquiring<br />

knowledge.<br />

Milli acknowledged the teachers and Year 13 leavers forentrusting her with<br />

the role of Head Girl, one of the hardest but most rewarding and fulfilling<br />

lifeexperiences to date. Milli thanked all forthe help she had received, and<br />

acknowledged Student and House Executive Leaders and Committee for<br />

their work,and to all students willing to participate and support.<br />

Looking to the future, Milli encouraged students to take all they have<br />

learned through the past two years of toughness, uncertainty and mixed<br />

emotions; and to takethe hope, determination, grit andpassion into future<br />

goals,jobsand aspirations, concluding with -<br />

‘don’t settle for things thatwon’t spring youout of bed in the morning.<br />

You’ve got to findwhat youlovetodo’.<br />

Head BoySpeech–ThomasPatterson<br />

After welcoming those present and those who will watch from home,<br />

Thomas noted the ceremony asbeing two aspects –recognising student<br />

successes and wrapping up their finalyear at secondaryschool.<br />

As for all speakers, heacknowledged all graduates, plus the challenges of<br />

the last two years where navigating unfamiliar terrain brought previously<br />

unknown challenges.<br />

Incredibly important was congratulating everyone on making it out the<br />

other side, inthe face ofthe unknown when, as ayear, they regained<br />

footing on multiple occasions and soldiered on. This wasatestament to the<br />

strength of the year group.<br />

Equally important were achievements gained, excelling in circumstances<br />

thattried their best to hinder such successes.Thomas said while times have<br />

been tough, those involved had proven tougher,with standards held to.<br />

Appreciation and encouragementwas giventothe year group,and to what<br />

they can achievegoing forward. Also acknowledged were the teachers and<br />

the importanceofstill having ateacher physically in aclassroom, to support<br />

information becoming knowledge through understanding.<br />

With the Year 13 Graduation Dinner cancelled, Thomas also referred to<br />

this being the last time he would speak to the year group as Head Boy, an<br />

opportunityhethanked his peers and the staff for, saying it had been atrue<br />

honour and one he wasthankful to be entrusted with.<br />

Also recognised was this being the last time they would all be gathered in<br />

one place, knowing this to be the last time of seeing some faces again, but<br />

saying thatthe associatedmemories would last alifetime. Without all of the<br />

activities, classroom time, lunchtime activities and friends these memories<br />

wouldn’t exist.<br />

Thomas said school had been ablast,with all hereresponsible forthat.<br />

Thomas concluded,saying–<br />

VinakaVakaLevu, KalougataTiko.<br />

Thank youall,good luckfor thefuture.<br />

Armistice Day WWI fallen remembered<br />

DANIEL.TOBIN<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

Returned servicepersonnel and<br />

members of the public gathered<br />

at the cenotaph in downtown<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>last weekto<br />

commemorate Armistice Day.<br />

Armistice Day acknowledges<br />

the signing of an armistice<br />

between The Allies and<br />

Germany and the ending of the<br />

World War Iin19<strong>18</strong>.<br />

On the 11th hour of the 11th<br />

day of the 11th month,the guns<br />

fell silent.<br />

Although Anzac Day has<br />

becomethe main day to<br />

remember the fallen of WWI,<br />

New Zealand continues to mark<br />

Armistice Day everyyear.<br />

Around50people took part in<br />

the <strong>Ashburton</strong> ceremony which<br />

started with two minutes of<br />

silence after the townclock<br />

struckeleven.<br />

RSA president Merv Brenton<br />

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

deputymayor Liz McMillan gave<br />

speeches,then wreaths were<br />

laid on the steps of the cenotaph<br />

and The Last Post was played by<br />

Jim Lischner.<br />

Members of the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

Cadet Unit and <strong>Ashburton</strong> Air<br />

Training Corp’s 24 Squadron<br />

were also involved.<br />

Mr Brentonsaid although<br />

there were no WWI veterans<br />

alive now it was stillimportant<br />

to remembertheir sacrifice.<br />

‘‘The veterans didn'ttalk<br />

about it much, but if you watch<br />

the movies like Peter Jackson’s<br />

RSA presidentMerv Brenton speaks at the Armistice Day commemorations held at the <strong>Ashburton</strong> cenotaph.<br />

(They ShallNot GrowOld) it just<br />

shows why they didn't talk, it<br />

was horrendous, today warfare<br />

is totally different, in those days<br />

it was reallyhand to hand.’’<br />

Ms McMillan said at the start<br />

of WWI there were 12,000<br />

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

districtand 500 locals were<br />

killed in thatwar.<br />

‘‘Ithas had ahuge impact on<br />

the district, so we are hereto<br />

commemorate what they did<br />

and the sacrifices they madefor<br />

us.’’<br />

this happen and we look<br />

forward to seeingthe<br />

App helps to manage weed<br />

Anew free web app has been<br />

designed to help farmers,<br />

landowners and regional councils<br />

manage acostly weed that has<br />

resisted eradication efforts in New<br />

Zealand for over acentury.<br />

Nassella tussock (Nassella<br />

trichotoma) occurs in drought­prone<br />

grasslands, mainly in the Canterbury<br />

and Marlborough regions.<br />

It is unique in that it is the only<br />

weedinNew Zealand to have had its<br />

own Act of Parliament, the Nassella<br />

Tussock Act 1946. The Act legislated<br />

for the establishment of the<br />

Marlborough and North Canterbury<br />

Nassella Tussock Boards tocoordinate<br />

central government­funded<br />

control programmes, aresponsibility<br />

now resting with the regional<br />

councilsthrough Regional Pest<br />

Management programmesunderthe<br />

Biosecurity Act 1993.<br />

Thehistoricalcontrol programmes<br />

have substantially reduced the<br />

weed’s populations.<br />

Although eradication has proven<br />

elusive, a17­year study in<br />

Canterbury, published in 2016,<br />

showed that the population density of<br />

the weed across 878 invaded farms in<br />

the Hurunui District is stable at<br />

about 15 plants per hectare. Grubbing<br />

of the plants hasbeen responsiblefor<br />

maintaining the equilibrium<br />

according to on­farmexperiments<br />

and modelling.<br />

Left uncontrolled, the modelling<br />

indicates that the weed’s populations<br />

will increase, potentially reaching<br />

the economically damaging<br />

monocultures of the past.<br />

The new app, developed by<br />

AgResearchwith funding from the<br />

Ministry of Business Innovation and<br />

Employment in collaboration with<br />

Nassella tussock occurs in drought­prone grasslands and mainly in the<br />

Canterbury and Marlboroughregions.<br />

PHOTOSUPPLIED<br />

Environment Canterbury, provides a<br />

tool to visualise arangeofgrubbing<br />

strategies.<br />

The app deploys apopulation<br />

model that counts the numberof<br />

nassella tussock plants in summer<br />

and winter in each of seven different<br />

life stages of the tussock and keeps<br />

track of their contribution to thetotal<br />

tussock population oversuccessive<br />

years.<br />

EnvironmentCanterbury<br />

biosecurity officer MattSmith says<br />

nassella tussock wassuch an issue in<br />

the mid­20th Century that some<br />

North Canterbury farmers<br />

abandoned theirproperties because<br />

they were no longerprofitable.<br />

Many decades of hard worksince<br />

then have returned plant numbers to<br />

amanageable level.<br />

The app can be found via the<br />

nassella tussock page on the AgPest<br />

website.<br />

Infilledpits contaminate soil<br />

Acompletedresearchproject about<br />

Districthas found themost common<br />

sourceofsoilcontaminationwas<br />

infilledpits.<br />

Affectedpropertyownershave<br />

been sent letters outlining their<br />

property’s history andits inclusion<br />

on theListed LandUse Register.<br />

Regional councils throughout New<br />

Zealand are responsible for<br />

identifying potentially<br />

contaminated land and making this<br />

knowledge publicly available. Many<br />

of the urban sitesinthe district have<br />

already been identified.<br />

The latest research used aerial<br />

imagery, so the new information<br />

mostly relatestorural­based<br />

activities best­seenfromtheair,<br />

such as sheepdips,farmrubbishpits<br />

andhorticultural land uses. It<br />

identified about 1400 sites where<br />

hazardous substances might have<br />

been used.<br />

Of these, 700wereinfilled pits<br />

which may have been filled with<br />

rubbish or uncontrolled materials,<br />

around 500weresheep dipsorspray<br />

race operations, and around70were<br />

horticultural sites where persistent<br />

sprays may have been used.<br />

The results areconsistentwith<br />

what’s been foundelsewhere in<br />

Canterbury.<br />

“Property owners have aright to<br />

know thehistoric use of theirland.<br />

It’sour role to record that<br />

information and let the landowner<br />

know,” Environment Canterbury<br />

(ECan) contaminated land science<br />

team leader Graham Aveyard said.<br />

“This is the starting point of a<br />

process which identifies land that<br />

has beenusedfor activities that<br />

mayleadtocontamination.<br />

“I wouldlike to reiterate that<br />

most people will not need to do<br />

anything. It’s only if you’re<br />

considering subdividing or<br />

distributing the soil on asitewhen<br />

you’d need to contact the<br />

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

advice,’’ Mr Aveyard said.<br />

Infrastructure Services Group Manager<br />

Neil McCann said the forwardworks map<br />

is part of the online information about<br />

Council’stransport and roading services.<br />

“<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council manages<br />

the roading network which iscritical to<br />

supporting the district and getting local<br />

produce to domestic or international<br />

markets.<br />

“We have recently focussed on repairing<br />

the significant damage caused by the<br />

flood event in May, and now we can<br />

allocate more resources toprogrammed<br />

maintenance and annual renewals<br />

work such as road resurfacing and road<br />

reconstructionwork.”<br />

“Six crews are now committed to<br />

complete the repair work and deliver on<br />

the programmed maintenance, which was<br />

Watercutting involves using high-pressure<br />

watertoremove excess bitumenfromthe<br />

surface to improve skid resistance.<br />

Mr McCann said asection of Thompsons<br />

Track was currently being reconstructed<br />

and widened.<br />

“This section of Thompsons Track was<br />

heavily damaged in May’s flooding event<br />

and needs to be repaired as amatter of<br />

priority.”<br />

improve the strength ofthe pavement<br />

or road and the following roads have<br />

Planning departments,asthey<br />

deal with record numbersof<br />

building and resource consents.<br />

Historically, theBuilding Services team<br />

dealt with an averageof12building<br />

it was19amonth and this year it is 32<br />

amonth.<br />

There are100 housing consentsthat<br />

lodged.<br />

Keeping on topofthose consents<br />

means sometimesexpected<br />

working as hardastheycan to avoid<br />

delays.<br />

Those factorscertainly havenot slowed<br />

needed when abuilding or activity<br />

doesnot meetthe rules in our District<br />

Plan,orwherethe planstatesthat<br />

is understandably putting abit of<br />

pressure on our smallteamand some<br />

applicationshavebeen outsourcedto<br />

consultantsbecause we simply do not<br />

havethe capacity to meetthe desired<br />

timeframes on our own.<br />

We still aimtoprocess applications<br />

within 20 working daysbut we ask<br />

people to be patientand plan ahead,<br />

youmay need to allowmoretime than<br />

normal.<br />

Applicationsfor subdivisions can<br />

be complicated, whichiswhy we<br />

Council Infrastructure Services Manager<br />

Neil McCann said pizza boxes were able<br />

to be recycled as longastheyhad no food<br />

debris inside them.<br />

“But it is completely unacceptable to<br />

recycle pizza boxes with uneatenpizza in<br />

them. If these hadnot beenfound by the<br />

auditor,the binwould have beenemptied<br />

“Loads that are rejected bythe EcoSort<br />

Overall contamination rates of kerbside<br />

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

districtinOctober was5.9 percent.<br />

Mr McCann said other unwanted items<br />

routinely foundinrecycling bins were dirty<br />

disposable nappies.<br />

“With Christmas coming and the usual<br />

increase inrubbish and recycling, it is<br />

really important that people payattention<br />

to ensuring they recycle cleanly. That<br />

means nofood in yellow recycling bins,<br />

The benefit of the<strong>Ashburton</strong><br />

recognisedrecently when a<br />

grant of $1000 was given to the<br />

MidCanterbury Children’s<br />

Theatre in supportofits<br />

The accumulated funds<br />

have donated to ATEC’s Raise<br />

the Bargrant fundfor thelast<br />

six years.<br />

‘‘I can’t thank ourbusiness<br />

partners enough for their<br />

tremendous support,’’ ATEC<br />

general manager Roger Farr<br />

said.<br />

The fund’s aim was to assist<br />

local, not forprofit,<br />

performanceorganisationsto<br />

have access to the very best<br />

technical support ATEC could<br />

offer, which in turn lifted the<br />

standard of the production to a<br />

higherlevel.<br />

‘‘This supportiseven more<br />

important now in these<br />

difficult times whereaudience<br />

numbershave to be reduced,<br />

whichmeans less revenue to<br />

supportthe production.<br />

‘‘It canbethe difference<br />

betweenthe production<br />

proceedingorbeing<br />

cancelled.’’ Mr Farr said.<br />

Mid Canterbury Children’s<br />

Theatrecommittee<br />

spokesperson Nicola Walker<br />

said the grant givenhad<br />

lessened the financial burden<br />

andhad enabled 52 children<br />

Theexpectations society can<br />

are so incredibly powerful<br />

because they capture the<br />

we crave the comfort of<br />

meaningful human<br />

connection; weneedhopeto<br />

sustain us; we long for faith to<br />

act as theantidote toour<br />

deepest fears; we want our<br />

Thisyear let’sputaside<br />

promise that as we sit quietly<br />

with the Christchild, our<br />

hearts will be changed.<br />

Birthing hospital<br />

overloaded<br />

An unprecedented 540 births at<br />

Christchurch Women’s Hospital<br />

last month has promptedaplea<br />

for expectant mothers to avoid<br />

giving birththere, if medically<br />

feasible.<br />

Canterbury District Health<br />

Board directorofmidwifery<br />

Norma Campbell is concerned<br />

the numberofwomen using the<br />

birthing facility could<br />

compromise those who needed<br />

the service the most.<br />

‘‘ChristchurchWomen’s<br />

Hospital is for women whoare<br />

higher risk and therefore<br />

require more complex care and<br />

after the volumes of last month,<br />

it would be ideal if women gave<br />

more consideration to their local<br />

community units,’’ she said. The<br />

arrivals lastmonth were the<br />

highest on record.<br />

‘‘For women who are healthy<br />

and expected to give birth to a<br />

healthy baby withnoanticipated<br />

complications, we believe our<br />

community­based birthingunits<br />

provide the ideal environment<br />

for giving birth.<br />

‘‘At the moment in Canterbury<br />

we have anumber of highquality<br />

primary birthing facilities, and a<br />

number of womenalso choose to<br />

give birthathome.’’<br />

New mothersdid not<br />

necessarily have to travel to<br />

Christchurch Women’s Hospital,<br />

with maternity units located in<br />

Lincoln and Rangiora, plus<br />

further afield in Kaikoura and<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>, she said.<br />

Each year more than 5500<br />

womengive birth at<br />

Christchurch Women’s<br />

Hospital, making it the largest<br />

secondary/tertiary hospital in<br />

the South Island.<br />

Last month’s birth rate ­<br />

more than 17 per day ­<br />

eclipsed the previous record<br />

of 530 in August 2008.<br />

The popularity of<br />

Christchurch Women’s<br />

Hospital was evident earlier<br />

this year whenthe Maia<br />

Health Foundation raised<br />

$65,000 for 30 specialist chairs<br />

so support people for new<br />

mothers did not have to sleep<br />

on the floor.<br />

Meanwhile, the New<br />

Zealand College of Midwives<br />

remains on tenterhooks as<br />

members unwillingtobe<br />

vaccinated against Covid­19<br />

sacrificed their careers. A<br />

Ministry of Health order<br />

requires all health care<br />

practitioners ­including<br />

midwives­tobe vaccinated in<br />

dayofwalking sports.<br />

The WalkingSports Festival<br />

will be held atthe EA<br />

Anyone of anyage and<br />

try at not cost.<br />

Mid Canterbury Netball<br />

netball developmentofficer<br />

Natalie Corbettcameupwith<br />

the idea of afestivaldayafter<br />

seeing how popular walking<br />

netball had become.<br />

She was keen to collaborate<br />

with other sports and Mid<br />

Canterbury Football and<br />

Canterbury Touch had come<br />

on board for the festival.<br />

Walking netball was agreat<br />

option forpeoplewho hadn’t<br />

playedfor years or whohad<br />

injuries that hadstoppedthem<br />

from playing traditional<br />

netball, Natalie said.<br />

It was also agreat way for<br />

people who were not currently<br />

active, and anumberofthose<br />

whowere now regularsstarted<br />

outasgreen prescription<br />

clients.<br />

“It’s an opportunity for other<br />

sports to see there could be a<br />

space for them to do it as well,<br />

and hopefullyitwillgoas well<br />

for them as it has for us,” she<br />

said.<br />

Games will be running<br />

throughout the day and people<br />

can come along and join in<br />

whenever they like, for aslong<br />

as they like.<br />

Walking netball attracted a<br />

wide range of participants. It<br />

runs on aTuesday during<br />

school terms, at 9.30am and<br />

6pm, and was attended by both<br />

men and women ranging in age<br />

from late teens throughto<br />

their70s.<br />

“Walkingnetballcaters to<br />

allabilities.Wesometimes<br />

have mumswhohavebeen<br />

playing netball for years,<br />

playing alongside people who<br />

have never touchedanetball<br />

before in their lives,” shesaid.<br />

“Butwalkingnetballcan be<br />

just aschallenging fora<br />

premier netballer as it is for<br />

anyone else.<br />

‘‘It’s harder thanyou think<br />

to stop yourselffromrunning<br />

andjumping.”<br />

The walking versions ofall<br />

threesports on offer are a<br />

slower pace and alower<br />

impact,comparedtotheir<br />

traditional versions, meaning<br />

so many more people can<br />

participate.<br />

The Walking SportsFestival<br />

has been made possible with<br />

CLUB NEWS<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong>, <strong>November</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2021</strong><br />

35<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Lions<br />

Club President Roger Patersonwelcomed<br />

everyone and opened this month’s meeting<br />

with a happy event; the induction of new<br />

member David Ward, sponsored by Mark<br />

Holmes and sworn in by Garth Bateup.<br />

Stuart Dunlop spoke about his recent visit<br />

to the new <strong>Ashburton</strong> disc golf course, which<br />

is located on the Smallbone Drive Reserve<br />

near EA Networks Centre. Stuart reported that<br />

the game is easy to pick up using discs hired<br />

for a nominal course from the Networks<br />

Centre. The course was constructed with<br />

funds from a variety of sponsors including<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Lions Club.<br />

PresidentRoger reminds everyonethat he<br />

has no intention of carrying on as President<br />

next year and invites members who are<br />

interested in takingonmore senior roles within<br />

the Club to come along with him to the 202J<br />

District Training Forum on Saturday 27th<br />

<strong>November</strong> in Oamaru.<br />

Rod Green provided an update on Grace<br />

Leahy, the young woman that the Club<br />

(funded) to attend this year’s Outward Bound<br />

course. Grace was unable to attend this<br />

evening but sent her gratitude and a short<br />

message saying how much she had got out of<br />

the course, which included sailing around the<br />

Marlborough sounds, climbing and marathon<br />

running. She spokeofhow the course boosted<br />

her confidence and self-esteem, and how she<br />

is now planning to train as asocial worker in<br />

order to help foster children like herself.<br />

The District Governor’s representative<br />

Jules Ellis gave the club an update of what our<br />

District Governor hopes to achieve, and also<br />

information about our new International President<br />

Douglas Alexander. He also gave abrief<br />

talk about how the Club might direct its<br />

development over the coming year, and of the<br />

need to spread the workload out beyond<br />

Board members. He spoke passionately about<br />

how aLion joins the organisation twice; once<br />

at their induction, and again when they find<br />

their own ‘tug of the heart’ moment in giving<br />

service that really means something tothem.<br />

Balance sheets were accepted for Admin<br />

and the Charitable Trust, and board decisions<br />

for put forward the names of Garth Bateup for<br />

1st Vice District Governor and Graham Edge<br />

as returning Trustee for 202J for the Lloyd<br />

Morgan Charitable Trust were endorsed.<br />

Ray Swan spoke about his chequered<br />

time in teaching inSingapore, the Philippines<br />

and in particular Dubai with Jenny. From<br />

stories of green slime running out of the air<br />

conditioning to Ray being the proud owner of<br />

an Alcoholic’s License, Ray and Jenny clearly<br />

never had adull moment and came back to<br />

see New Zealand with fresh eyes.<br />

In announcements, we learned that the<br />

Government is granting <strong>Ashburton</strong> Lions<br />

$5,500 towards marketing of the South Island<br />

Motorhome Show. Tail Twisters duties were<br />

Lions District Governor<br />

representative Jules Ellis<br />

performed byChristine Milne and Lois Sparrow,<br />

who showed their displeasure with<br />

memberswho didn’twear ties to club or watch<br />

enough sport on TV.<br />

Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club<br />

President Julie welcomed members to a<br />

recent meeting ofthe Friendship Club. Birthdays<br />

and anniversaries were celebrated after<br />

the singing of the National Anthem. The<br />

almoner, Therese, gave an update on the<br />

health of members. There were many donations<br />

of cleaning products to be taken up to<br />

Ronald McDonald House.<br />

Members were reminded of the coffee<br />

morning,and the trip to Orari for the Christmas<br />

meal after our December meeting. There will<br />

also be atrip to Peel Forest to view the lilies<br />

and the church.<br />

The raffle was drawn and the mini<br />

speakers were Betty and Gwen, orperhaps I<br />

should call them Daisy and Daphne. They<br />

entertained us with ahumorous sketch called<br />

‘Everything in the Garden is Lovely’. With a<br />

few minutes to spare before morning tea<br />

Marion showed usatin of reduced cream and<br />

asked us to guess where it came from. When<br />

we heard the answer we wonderedwhy cream<br />

would come from Mexico.<br />

Our main speaker was Judy from Anglican<br />

Advocacy who told us all about her role.<br />

Anglican Advocacy is aunit of Anglican Care,<br />

one of the largest faith-based and nongovernment<br />

providers of social services in<br />

Canterbury. The advocacy has been in<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> since 2019. Their purpose is to<br />

navigate and services are free. To empower a<br />

person and give them the tools. They help<br />

people to do it for themselves, itmay involve<br />

budgeting, or appointments at Housing NZ<br />

and Ministry of Social Development and other<br />

places. Julie thanked Judy for her presentation<br />

and gave her afruit and vegetable tray.<br />

The thought for the month was ‘‘The kiss<br />

of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for<br />

mirth, One is nearer God’s heart in agarden<br />

than anywhere else on earth.’’<br />

Next meeting is December 8, if you would<br />

like to join us phone Julie 308 4254 or Rae 308<br />

Call us now for afree advertising consultancy.<br />

Here’s what our customers have to say:<br />

LikeNewlands, The<strong>Courier</strong> has a<br />

strong historyinCanterbury. It is<br />

convenient forustouse one local<br />

office(and amost helpfuladvertising<br />

representative) forbooking and<br />

payment, allowing us to feature<br />

Newlands three branches and diverse<br />

services in anyofthe<br />

Allied Press publications .<br />

-Charlotte, Newlands Auto Electrical<br />

As anew company, we realised the<br />

need to promoteour services to the<br />

greater Mid Canterburyarea, and<br />

do this in the most cost effective<br />

waypossible. Afterlooking at our<br />

options, we decided to go solely with<br />

the <strong>Courier</strong>. As afree newspaper<br />

distributed throughout Mid<br />

Canterbury, including Geraldine, they<br />

provided the wide reach we needed.<br />

They also offerprompt, efficient sales<br />

and design service. Sincestarting our<br />

advertising, enquiries have certainly<br />

increased and so have sales. Theresults<br />

speak forthemselves.<br />

-Dave&Lorayne,<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Windows &Doors<br />

I’vebeen aclient of the <strong>Courier</strong> for<br />

manyyears nowand knowthat as a<br />

free paper delivered to ahuge area,<br />

it is reaching the people Ineed to get<br />

to. Asaweekly community paper,<br />

it sits around and is frequently<br />

picked up and read. Iknowthat my<br />

regular advertising in the <strong>Courier</strong><br />

worksasIdon’t advertise elsewhere<br />

and customers will ask about the<br />

special they’veseen in the paper<br />

or have acopyintheir hands. And<br />

the efficient personal serviceIget is<br />

pretty good too!<br />

44 <strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong>, <strong>November</strong> <strong>18</strong>, <strong>2021</strong><br />

Vaccine rules<br />

take effect<br />

Vaccine mandates cameinto<br />

effect thisweek, amid<br />

nationwideprotests and<br />

hundreds of new Covid­19<br />

cases.<br />

The MinistryofHealth this<br />

week announced arecord 222<br />

cases on Tuesday, and the<br />

death of apatient at Auckland<br />

City Hospital. The patient, in<br />

their late­70s, was admitted to<br />

hospital on <strong>November</strong> 11 and<br />

subsequently tested positive<br />

for Covid­19.<br />

The cases were all in the<br />

North Island but as theDelta<br />

outbreak continues to spread,<br />

protesters aroundthe country<br />

have continued to taketothe<br />

streets to decry vaccination<br />

mandatessuch as the latest<br />

impacting on theeducation<br />

sector.<br />

As of this week teachers and<br />

other education staff, as well<br />

as thoseinthe health and<br />

disability sectors, must have<br />

had at least one covid<br />

vaccination dose. Theymust be<br />

fully vaccinated by January 1.<br />

Mid Canterbury principals<br />

association spokesperson<br />

Rebekah Clementsaid schools<br />

around the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />

had been impacted by the<br />

mandates.<br />

‘‘Schoolswill have made<br />

varyingarrangements<br />

depending on the usual role of<br />

the staff member and what is<br />

needed to ensure minimal<br />

impact on student learning,’’<br />

she said.<br />

Although visitors inside<br />

school gates had beenlimited<br />

for quite sometime, there were<br />

now rules in place for people<br />

helping with education outside<br />

the classroom programmes.<br />

‘‘It adds an extra<br />

complication to making<br />

arrangements for 2022, but I’m<br />

sure schools will work through<br />

this the bestway they can and<br />

with the interests of both<br />

learners and their team in<br />

mind, whilst following any<br />

employment requirements,’’<br />

she said.<br />

Under the mandates, and<br />

when the new traffic light<br />

system starts, businesses will<br />

also be able to introduce<br />

mandates and require staff to<br />

be vaccinated.<br />

Ministry data shows 94<br />

percent of eligible people in<br />

the Canterbury District Health<br />

Board area, which includes<br />

Mid Canterbury,have had<br />

their first vaccination and 82<br />

percent their second dose.<br />

In South Canterbury 89<br />

percent have had their first<br />

dose, and80percent their<br />

second.<br />

Hundreds of Cantabrians<br />

took to the streets of<br />

Christchurch last Saturday to<br />

protest against Covid­19<br />

lockdowns, restrictions and<br />

vaccine mandates.They<br />

marched fromChristchurch's<br />

Cathedral Square to Latimer<br />

Square.<br />

‘‘It’s well known thatthere’s<br />

arealneed for vets, especially<br />

in ruralareas,” Mr O’Connor<br />

said.<br />

“Since it began12years ago,<br />
