Mr Brownsaid he wantedto<br />
continue to build on the workthat<br />
had beenstarted in the current term<br />
and in previous terms of council.<br />
‘‘<strong>Ashburton</strong>isastrong district<br />
economically, which flowsinto our<br />
wellbeing and council can be a<br />
catalyst for achievingthe results that<br />
benefit the whole community and I’m<br />
proud of this,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘Thereare still acoupleof<br />
projectsthatIneed to see to fruition.<br />
One is the new library and civic<br />
building and the otheristhe locking<br />
in of fundingtobuild the second<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>urbanbridge.’’<br />
Mr Brownsaid he continued to<br />
want to see the controversial three<br />
watersproject paused in order for<br />
the Government to have a‘‘real<br />
conversation’’ with councils on what<br />
they want to achieve.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>deputy mayor Liz<br />
McMillan said she was keen to<br />
continue as acouncillor for the<br />
Western ward.<br />
‘‘While we have achieved much<br />
Neil Brown<br />
this term, thereare stillseveral<br />
projects that Iwouldlike to see<br />
completedsuch as the civic and<br />
library build andthe Methven andMt<br />
Somers membrane treatment<br />
plants.’’<br />
Ms McMillan said with proposed<br />
changes to three waters,resource<br />
managementand the future of local<br />
government, it was important tohave<br />
people around thecouncil table with<br />
knowledge and an understanding of<br />
the challenges ahead.<br />
Leen Braam said he had enjoyed<br />
his second termasacouncillor more<br />
than his first term and had built up<br />

Solar growth could lower prices<br />
BY MICKJENSEN<br />
More solar is startingtobeset up in<br />
MidCanterburyand further<br />
expectedgrowth could bring down<br />
electricityprices for consumers.<br />
EA Networks chiefexecutive<br />
Roger Suttonsaidanumber of big<br />
playersweretalkingaboutputting<br />
bigsolar farms on to the network.<br />
Thescale of thosefarms was<br />
pretty big,hesaid.<br />
Onecompany alreadyhad a<br />
consent to do just over 50 mega<br />
watts of solaronland near<br />
Lauriston, which on asunny day<br />
wouldmean no energywouldneed<br />
to be taken from the grid.<br />
Speaking to district councillors<br />
recently Mr Suttonsaid the solar<br />
numbersbeing discussed were<br />
significantand EA Networkswas<br />
keen to makeiteasier for<br />
companies to build andconnect<br />
here.<br />
‘‘Webelieve it is agoodthing that<br />
Roger Sutton<br />
will leadtolower electricity prices<br />
for our customers.’’<br />
Forthe districttobeentirely self<br />
sufficient with solarthere needed<br />
to be around 300megawatts<br />
generated during the day and then<br />
some energy taken fromthe grid at<br />
night.<br />
Threehundredmega wattswould<br />
take upabout 300ha of land, an area<br />
abit biggerthanatypical Mid<br />
Canterburyfarm,hesaid.<br />
Mr Sutton said further downthe<br />
line EA Networkswas keen tobring<br />
solar farms together with some<br />
customers on thenetwork.<br />
He saiddairy farms, forexample,<br />
were really well matched with solar<br />
becausetheyused more powerin<br />
thesummerfor irrigation and less<br />
in winter,which matched withsolar<br />
output.<br />
‘‘The logical thing is tobring the<br />
partiestogethertodosome sort of<br />
deal,’’ he said.<br />
Currently solar power supplies<br />
less than oneper cent of New<br />
Zealand’s energy, butforecasts are<br />
that in 15years time it will supply<br />
1520 percent.<br />

BY INDI ROBERTS<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> is knownfor having one<br />
of the most culturally diverse<br />
communities in New Zealand, with<br />
increases in migrant populations<br />
attracted by rural job markets.<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong>Indian<br />
Multicultural CharitableTrust<br />
(AIMCT)recentlycelebrated their<br />
office opening, attended by<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Mayor Neil<br />
Brown,and Rangitata Labour MP Jo<br />
Luxton.<br />
Founded twelve years ago, the<br />
AIMCTaims to unite different<br />
communities within <strong>Ashburton</strong> and<br />
honourtraditions that havestrong<br />
cultural significance to these<br />
communities.<br />
In March this year the trust<br />
planned to host the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Holi<br />
Festival of Colours which<br />
traditionally celebrates springand<br />
love, but due to the spread of<br />
Omicron the festival was postponed.<br />
Trust event coordinator Silky<br />
Sharmasaid covid had abig impact<br />
on the events the group planned to<br />
host.<br />
Overthe years the trust had<br />
organised otherIndian festivities<br />
such as Diwali, Lohri, and Garba,<br />
but this yearare hoping other<br />
cultures will share their events. “We<br />
want to connectpeople,”Silky said.<br />
“Duetocovid,people are feeling<br />
isolated and then it can affect them<br />
because they can’t go to back home,<br />
so providing them an environment<br />
where they can come and meet other<br />
people, intermingle with other<br />
communities…this is our main goal<br />
now.”<br />
The trust has planstohost a<br />
fashionshow toward the end of<br />
winter, which will not only<br />
represent traditional Indian dress,<br />
but also Pacifika dress, dance and<br />
language.<br />
Theywould also like to introduce<br />
Bollywood dance classes and<br />
authentic cooking classesto<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>, encouragingpeopleto<br />
try something new.<br />
While these and many more<br />
cultural activities will continue to<br />
evolve within<strong>Ashburton</strong>, Silky said<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Indian Multicultural<br />
Trust was not just about events.<br />
“People can also talk to us on<br />
other problems, like if anybody has<br />
any visa issue,” she said.<br />
“We want to create aTrust that<br />
peopletrust…so we can work more<br />
for them.”<br />
The trust encouragedpeople to<br />
get in touchifthey have any<br />
feedback or wishtoget involved.<br />
“Anything related to their<br />
community theycan come and talk<br />
to us.”<br />

Rakaia bridge 149 years old<br />
Some 149 years ago,and almost to the day, Rakaia’s<br />
combined road andrail bridge was formally opened.<br />
Workonthe original wooden bridgestarted in 1869<br />
and the combined bridge projectwas completedonMay<br />
30,1873.<br />
Fortheopening aspecial train was laid on to bring the<br />
official party from ChristchurchtoRakaia. Thejourney<br />
took 72 minutes, compared with the three days it took in<br />
those days for abullock cart anddray.<br />
The bridge cost came in over estimatesat34,350<br />
pounds.<br />
Twobad floodsin1873 and 1874 meantthe bridge had<br />
to be lengthenedand strengthenedthe following year,<br />
which further increased costs.<br />
The bridge was open to road traffic at specified hours<br />
and traffic flowwas controlled by abridgekeeper.<br />
Crossingthecombinedroad and rail deckwas<br />
describedbymany asa‘‘frightening’’ experience and<br />
there were frequentand lengthy delays for motorists<br />
waiting for trains.<br />
The bridge operatedfor 66 years until two bridges<br />
werebuilt acrossthe Rakaia River in 1939.<br />
Those bridges remainthe longest road and rail<br />
bridges in New Zealand and are just over 1.7 kilometres<br />
long.<br />

Message From ThePrincipal<br />
Lockdown Drill<br />
Last week we held alockdown drill. This was our<br />
first since the Guidelines to Schools have been<br />
altered, following-on from the Christchurch<br />
Mosques’shootings.<br />
There were considerable learnings for schools<br />
based on this tragedy and, accordingly, the Police<br />
and MinistryofEducation assembledaTaskforce to<br />
revise the guidelines.<br />
There are some important need-to-know aspects for parents/<br />
caregivers in case of areal lockdown, including:<br />
• Inthese emergencies the police take command and we arerequiredto<br />
lock down our school until this is liftedbyNZPolice.<br />
• Ifthe dangerisoutside of schoolwewill lock our entrancegates.<br />
• Classroom and exterior doorswill be locked.<br />
• Whānau not arriving en masse and standing/parking outside our<br />
gates. In some cases, in Christchurch, there were dozens of parents/<br />
caregivers standing outside of schools,makingthemeasy targets.<br />
• Our students will be abletosend atextmessage home to parents/<br />
caregivers to explain that they are in lockdown and then they are to<br />
stay off their phones.Again, in the Christchurch crisis,the cell network<br />
crashed due to the volume of calls, atatime when the network was<br />
needed forthe emergencyservices.<br />
• Parents/caregivers will be given updates/lifting of lockdown<br />
information via school websiteortextmessage.<br />
• Please trust that, as aschool,wewill do everything thatcan be doneto<br />
keepyour whānau safe.<br />
Shelter in Place<br />
In the emergency space there isanew category called ‘Shelter in Place’.<br />
This is activatedbyour College intercom system andrequireseverybody<br />
on our campus to go inside and staythereuntil the danger has cleared.<br />
Thereare many possibilities forthis activation -includingtoxic smoke,a<br />
hail storm, abee swarmorany otherlocalised danger.<br />
My thanksfor your understanding in these matters.<br />

‘‘Each yeararound 5060per<br />

from previous seasons, so many<br />
from thisgroupwill have<br />

already as they usually will go<br />

‘‘Thereseems to be ashortage<br />

currently in Methven, in the<br />

few weeks. From there they<br />
would meet other employees,<br />
making it more viable to commit<br />

BY MICK JENSEN<br />
Aquiet, scenic site tucked away in urban<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> is set to opensoon for members of<br />
the NewZealand MotorCaravan Association<br />
(NZMCA).<br />
The new <strong>Ashburton</strong> NZMCA Park is located<br />
off Melrose Road andhas been developed on<br />
land leased by the Allenton Rugby Club.<br />
Fully fenced and landscaped, the site<br />
covers an area of 6500m2 and has capacity for<br />
60 motorhomes or caravans. The site has<br />
water and asmall registrationkiosk and all<br />
users will be selfcontained.<br />
Allenton Rugby Club president Todd<br />
Grieve said the agreement reached with<br />
NZMCA was awinwin for both sides. ‘‘It’s on<br />
surplus land that hasn’tbeenused for rugby<br />
for the last fiveyearsand the arrangement<br />
means we haveanother source of income<br />
coming into the club,which is important with<br />
everrising operational costs.’’<br />
Mr Grieve said discussions hadstarted18<br />
months ago andafive yearlease, renewable<br />
threetimes, hadbeen agreed by thetwo<br />
parties.<br />
NZMCA national property and policy<br />
manager James Imlach said the association<br />
had been on the look out for anew site in the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>for the last couple of years.<br />
The Melrose Road option had been<br />
highlighted as agood location by local<br />
association members and along term<br />
agreement had been reached with the<br />
Allenton Rugby Club. <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council had signed off on land use consent<br />
and the project had progressed to where the<br />
parkwas now almost readytoopen.<br />
Mr Imlachsaid it was the secondNZMCA<br />
parkinMid Canterbury,the other wason<br />
Maronan Ealing Road. Canterbury wasa<br />
popular touring destination for association<br />
members, who typically spent two nights at<br />
parks and spent an average of $90 aday, he<br />
said.<br />
NZMCA has 110,000 members and operates<br />
53 other parks around the country. Members<br />
are allowed to stay forupto10days at each<br />

Australia now added to their<br />

PROTECT YOUR BEST ASSET -<br />
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HELMET<br />
Your helmet is the most importantbit of kityou wear to keep yousafewhile riding,soensuring<br />
youchoose the righthelmet is essential.Hereare some toptips on howyou can do that:<br />
• Avoid open-facehelmets: 34.6% Of head impacts in crashes aretothe chin area, so<br />
needless to sayopen-facehelmets aresignificantly less safethan others.<br />
from the bowler once its<br />
delivered.<br />
But if it’s missed timed orif<br />
the bowler is able to spin the<br />
ball to make no sound itcan<br />
catch out the batter. The<br />
stumps are metal for<br />
audibility.<br />
The first two games on the<br />
tour are T20s which will be<br />
played under lights on <strong>June</strong> 8,<br />
and is expected to be<br />
livestreamed. Check out the<br />
NZBlindcaps Facebook page<br />
for details.<br />
• Avoid second-hand helmets: Over time,the impact-absorbing lining and the inner liner of<br />
helmets will deteriorate.You’llnever know howmuch use the previous owner got out of it,<br />
or whether they’ve dropped it one toomanytimes compromising the shell,you’rebetter off<br />
buying new.<br />
• Makesureyour helmet fits: Forastart, youmust not be able to remove it without undoing<br />
the chin strap.The strap should adjust to fit closelyunder your chin without feeling likeit’s<br />
strangling you. Your helmet should fit snugly and evenly all around your head,but not so<br />
much it givesyou aheadache.<br />

Rites of passage<br />
It’s schoolball seasonand many<br />
young people andtheirfamilies<br />
might be feelingabit under<br />
pressure,for all sorts of<br />
reasons.<br />
Ourlocal balls are very well<br />
run now, with fabulous student<br />
and adult leadership planning<br />
to make sure theyare<br />
successful.<br />
Problemslie almost<br />
exclusivelywith pre andafter<br />
ball functions.<br />
Around the country there<br />
continue to be reports of<br />
propertydamage, violence,<br />
drinkdriving crashes, unsafe<br />
and unwantedsex and other<br />
alcohol relatedinjuries.<br />
What can we do as parents<br />
andcommunity?<br />
Firstly –information,<br />
resourcesand support for the<br />
young people,theirparents,<br />
staffand volunteers who help<br />
with the planning,set up and<br />
event management. Job done!<br />
Secondlyhelping themkeep<br />
safe is totally our job, part of<br />
being aparent.<br />
Advice and support are<br />
critical, even though it may not<br />
alwaysbewelcomed!<br />
Research tellsusthat the<br />
youngeryour kids or teens start<br />
drinking, the morelikely it is<br />
that theywill go on to drink<br />
harmfully in theirlate teens<br />
andadult life.<br />
If your teen is goingtoaparty<br />
where alcohol is present, the<br />
adult hosts musthave your<br />
express consenttosupply<br />
alcohol to your teenager.<br />
Thisisthe law.<br />
When contactingthe host,itis<br />
also the perfect timetoask<br />
about time andplace,<br />
supervision, alcohol and<br />
transport arrangements, and<br />
staying over.<br />
You mayget ahard timeon<br />

Do it openly. It’snot about<br />

Family support in budget<br />
This years’ Budget sets out the<br />
next steps in our plan to build a<br />
secure future for New Zealand.<br />
This includes acost of living<br />
package which will help ease<br />
the pressure for people here in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>.<br />
Right now, our economy is in<br />
astrong position. But we know<br />
that, despite positive<br />
indicators, things are tough<br />
right now for many families, as<br />
global inflation impacts prices<br />
here at home. That’s why in this<br />
year’s Budget, we’ve included a<br />
comprehensive cost of living<br />
package. This package includes<br />
anew temporary payment to<br />
help Kiwis earning up to<br />
$70,000 ayear with higher food<br />
and power bills. It also includes<br />
an extension to our fuel tax cut<br />
and reduced road user charges.<br />
Alongside these measures,<br />
we’re taking action on<br />
supermarkets to make sure<br />
Kiwis are paying afair price at<br />
the checkout. Iampleased to<br />
say we’re investing to remove<br />
barriers to getting adriver<br />
licence, helping 64,000 Kiwis<br />
get on the road.<br />
We’re alsobacking our<br />
farmerswith anew Centrefor<br />
Climate ActiononAgricultural<br />
Emissions, focusedon<br />
developing andcommercialising<br />
practicaltools to reduce<br />
emissions. In thelastweekI<br />
haveenjoyed gettingaround the<br />
electorate meeting with groups<br />
and organisations to discuss a<br />
range of thingsincluding the<br />
Budgetand whatitmeans for<br />
our local families and<br />

havethe Minister in the<br />

Mr Riach said the space needed to be<br />
vibrant and viable forbusinesses and their<br />
customers, and it had been future-proofed<br />
by ensuring underground infrastructure<br />
wasrenewed, and cables and powerlines<br />
were relocated.<br />

Floodrecovery putsfocus on resilience<br />
It has been 12 months since<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s big flood event<br />
and Mayor Neil Brown says the<br />
anniversary is an appropriate<br />
time to reflect on the work of<br />
those involved in the successful<br />
emergency response and celebrate<br />
therecovery.<br />
“It wasacrisis thattestedusbut people in<br />
this district are aresilient bunch, and we<br />
knowhow to lookaftereach other.<br />
“The emergency services, like FENZ and<br />
police, were ahuge help as things were<br />
unfolding,and on the recovery side Rural<br />
Support Trust, iwi, MPI, the Insurance<br />
Council, Waitaha Health and Federated<br />
Farmerswerevital partners.<br />
“Each brought theirownstrengths to the<br />
table and when we were all able to work<br />
together weachieved somuch more for<br />
our community.”<br />
He saidgenerous donations to the Mayoral<br />
ReliefFund were received from around the<br />
district and NewZealand,and distributed<br />
to those mostaffected.<br />
The Mayor said that over the past year,<br />
Council has been focused onrepairing<br />
damaged roads and building resilience<br />
againstfuture big floods.<br />
“The2<strong>02</strong>1floodswereafirst-handexample<br />
of the impactofachangingclimate on our<br />
community and thatextreme rainfall cost<br />
our district.<br />
“Damage to local roads took over six<br />
months of work and $4million to fix,<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong>River wasinfullflood 12 monthsago.<br />
and also highlighted the vulnerability of<br />
the lower South Island when the State<br />
Highway1bridge overthe<strong>Ashburton</strong> River<br />
wasdamagedand closed to traffic.<br />
“We have been told by Government that<br />
thereis moneytocontributetoasecond<br />
bridge tomake sure the island is not cut<br />
off again but there havealso beenthings<br />
we have done as aCouncil toimprove<br />
resilience.<br />
“We are making improvements to<br />
Methven’s drinking watersupplyand once<br />
complete, they shouldn’t have todeal<br />
with boilwaternotices again.Weare also<br />
spending moreonimproving our roads so<br />
theyare lessvulnerable to waterdamage.”<br />
Some 540mm of rain fell at Mount Somers<br />
in May 2<strong>02</strong>1, resulting in record flows in the<br />
Hinds and <strong>Ashburton</strong> Rivers and leading<br />
to the Mayor declaring astate of local<br />
emergency. Around 1500 people living<br />
in Allenton and Netherby were warned<br />
they might need to evacuate but this<br />
was avoided when the <strong>Ashburton</strong> River<br />
breached further upstream and relieved<br />
pressure on the river closer to town.<br />
Many living beside the <strong>Ashburton</strong> River,<br />
and the Hinds, self-evacuatedand in total<br />
nearly 280 properties were affected, with<br />
uninsurable damageupto$14m.<br />
Mayor Brown said planning for extreme<br />
weather events was important at local<br />
and national levels, and Council would<br />
this week beconsidering its submission<br />
to adraftnational plan to help the country<br />
adapt to climate change.<br />
“Wehaveourownclimatechangepolicyin<br />
this districtand aredeveloping aresilience<br />
action plan, but we believe Central<br />
Government must beapartner and cofunder<br />
in improving that resilience.”<br />
Contract letfor membranefiltration gear<br />
A $3.395 million contract for the<br />
supply of membrane equipment for<br />
Methven andMtSomers’ newwater<br />

to Masons Engineers(NZ)Ltd.<br />
The newmembrane filtration systems are<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council Infrastructures<br />
Services Group Manager Neil McCann said<br />
the upgrades should end the need to issue<br />
boil waternotices on these suppliesafter<br />
heavyrain events.<br />
“The membrane equipment provides a<br />
barrier that removes turbidity, among<br />
other things, and that means people on<br />
the Methven, Methven-Springfield and Mt<br />

One year on since intense rains<br />
caused major flooding across<br />

imported, andmost of it is produced<br />
in countries that farm pigs using<br />
systemsillegal in this country. The<br />
petition was presented to National<br />

Pork chiefexecutiveBrentKleiss<br />

For those of you that havent read the paper<br />
lately,late last year, Roger Harper was diagnosed<br />
with Merkelcell carcinoma, forwhich thereis<br />
no treatment underour public health system.<br />
Theonlyray of hope is aseries of immunotherapy<br />
treatments which cost around $10,000ashot<br />
(GNews 24.03.22).<br />
Posting on Facebook, organisers Courtney<br />
Bates and Sarah Foley-Smith say, It was an<br />
absolute privilege to be able to give something<br />
back to the community that is so good to us.<br />
For his part, Roger says, We are blown<br />
away bythegenerosity of people who dont<br />
even know us. His wife Vanessa says, It is<br />
wonderful toknow that people are looking<br />
after us.<br />
In the same post, Courtney and Sarah thank<br />
those who made the event possible and 100<br />
per cent profitable. First and foremost, Quentin<br />
Cooper and Jimmy Paewhenua without whom<br />
we would not havepassed Go,plusGeraldine<br />
Butchery, who made such adifference tothe<br />
bottom line, and the PIA students; special<br />
mention to Will Morrison and JontySowden,<br />
who spent all day Saturday helping out, and<br />
to parents Dallas Rae, Tracey Christie and<br />
Glenn Shaw who were totally awesome. We<br />
cant forget to thank the GRFC for the use of<br />
the [club premises].<br />
Roger is assistant coach to the under 16.5<br />
rugby team, of which hisson Jack is a member.<br />
Roger says,On the field, he is just number 12<br />
and probably gets a harder time than therest.<br />
He says that as well as technique and fitness,<br />
he is interested in the psychological preparation<br />
for the game. I work ontheplayers getting<br />
focused and visualising what they are going<br />
to do. Althoughhis team lost 21-19onSaturday,<br />
he could see that the other side was relieved<br />
the game was over. He thinks his team is<br />
doing well.<br />
Mental attitude could well be the reason<br />
Roger is still with us. He says, According to<br />
the doctors, Ishould already be ajar of ashes<br />
sitting on the shelf. Even when Iwas in the<br />
hospice, Ithought to myself, No way, not yet.<br />
The couple says they had put their lives on<br />
hold since lateFebruary.Itisonly since treatment<br />
number four last Thursday and acombination<br />
of steroids and anti-inflammatory drugs to<br />
deal with the side effects that Roger has been<br />
able to feel something like normal.<br />
The day after the latest treatment, Roger<br />
and Vanessa went to their neighbours Eugene<br />
and Jackie Caseys clearing sale. Roger says,<br />
I walked about nine kilometres around the<br />
paddocks. Afew days ago, Icouldnt get off<br />
the couch. I was even able to enjoy the first<br />
beer Ive had in ages with the spit roast they<br />
put on afterwards.<br />
Roger deals in cars, and a few weeks ago,<br />
sold his entire stock, given thoughts of his<br />
imminent demise. Heisnow buying up cars<br />
again as he restarts his business and looks to<br />
afuture. Itsagood problemtohave. Vanessa<br />
is also re-engaging with herbusiness. The pair<br />
are grateful for thecommunity support.<br />
Roger writes, Just wow. Words fail me,<br />
team. Ijust dont know where to start so<br />
immensely grateful to all involved and so<br />
humbled by the outpouring of support, good<br />
wishes, concern and offers of help. Iamnot<br />
going to lie; I have tears in my eyes as I write<br />
this as whileIhaveneverexperienced suchan<br />
awful and excruciatingly painful time in my<br />
life, Ihavealso neverexperienced such aselfless,<br />
supportive, genuine, caring and giving community<br />
as this. Iamtruly humbled and so, so eternally<br />
thankful.You guys all of you seriously rock.<br />
(Facebook 29.05.22)<br />
Roger says that without the community<br />
support,receiving$10,000invoiceswould be<br />
stressful. Now it is manageable. In nine weeks,<br />
we have another scan which will tell us how<br />
well weare doing.<br />
GNews wishes you every good wish for a<br />
great result, Roger. HUGH MCCAFFERTY

Elgregoes magic delivers important message<br />
On Friday of last week, Geraldine Primary<br />
School played host to amagic show with a<br />
difference when well-known Christchurch<br />
magician, Elgregoe,performed his YouveGot<br />
thePower show.<br />
Elgregoe, AKAGreg Britt,and his wife Sue,<br />
whoactsashis assistant,are currently touring<br />
the South Island, visiting two schools aday<br />
and delivering amessagethat teaches children<br />
key values for agreat day at school.<br />
The schools make the difference with the<br />
children, but we come and helpreinforcetheir<br />
school values, says Elgregoe. I have made a<br />
living in magic for over 40years and have<br />
visited schools for 23 years. We used to tour<br />
the whole country; over amillionstudents saw<br />
the show. Ahighlight of my career was being<br />
appointed aMemberofthe NewZealand Order<br />
of Merit for services to education by HerMajesty<br />
Queen Elizabeth II.<br />
Our show teaches life skills andkey values<br />
andencourages students to be an upstander,<br />
someone who stands upfor doing the right<br />
things. It teaches the students skills to deal<br />
with conflict and bullying, and gives positive<br />
ideas theycan use to make adifference.<br />
The show had five important points;respect,<br />
caring,support, courageand encouragement.<br />
Elgregoe uses his magic to highlight what each<br />
of thesemeans, including tricks using doves,<br />
parrots, andalarge macaw. Afew lucky students<br />
were asked to participate while the rest of the<br />
school watched on with amazement.<br />
Hands are for helping, not for hurting,<br />
wasone of the keymessages introduced to the<br />
students. Bullying on social media was addressed<br />
with, If its going to offend, dontpress send.<br />
Elgregoe says, I couldnt doany of this<br />
without my wife Sue. Thereissomuch behind<br />
the scenes that she does; she deserves alot of<br />
credit. <br />
Last week,otherschools that benefited from<br />
thetouring magic show were Waihi,Winchester<br />
Rural, and Mayfield primary. DEBBIE OLIVER<br />

Puanga is the star Rigel and is the brightest star in the Orion<br />
constellation. Matariki is seen below Puanga and to the left<br />
of Tautoru (the three starsofOrionsBelt) in the lateautumn<br />
and earlywinter night sky.<br />
The most common whakataukī (proverb) that recognises<br />
the importanceofPuanga is: Puanga kai rau (The abundant<br />
harvest of Puanga)<br />
This whakataukīconnects Puanga and Matariki<br />
celebrations to the resultofhardwork overanumber of<br />
months. It recognises the efforts of growing, harvesting,and<br />
storing food forthe long nightsoftakarua as Tamanuiterā<br />
(the sun god) returns to his first wife Hinetakurua (winter<br />
maiden).<br />
This union results in shortdaysand long nightsoverthe<br />
winter months. However, everyyearMāui recaptures<br />
Tamanuiterā, and then marries his second wife Hineraumati<br />
(summer maiden), where thenights areshort and the days<br />
arelong as aresultofsummer -soitcould be argued that<br />

On the West Coast and in areas ofthe south where<br />

The PIA is now an integral part of it.<br />
Ive been planting for 15-18 years <br />

As youmay have heard,Ihave decided nottostand<br />
in the 2<strong>02</strong>3 election.<br />
Whilst Ive said that Im ready to move on after<br />
25 years in public service, it doesnt mean that Im<br />
ready to sit back and put my feet up. Istill care as<br />
much todayaboutcommunity issues and effective<br />
governance as Idid when Ifirst started out.<br />
When youreinaposition likethisand represent<br />
alarge number of people, you dofeel aweight of<br />
responsibility tomake sure that good policies are<br />
being made for the right reasons and that better<br />
the lives of New Zealanders.<br />
Too often, politicians sitting in Wellington lose<br />
touch with the day-to-day realities oflife for those<br />
theyre elected to serve. Ithink this gap is most<br />
keenly felt between Wellington and our small towns<br />
andcommunities and is whyIverackedup countless<br />
kilometres overthe yearstravelling across this vast<br />
electorate. Weshould know howpeople are going<br />
andwhatissues areimportant to them,and if that<br />
means muddying the tyres bygoing down afew<br />
farm tracks -sobeit!<br />
Last week was arecess week in Parliament, so<br />
Iwas able to attend aFederated Farmers AGM,<br />
apost-budget breakfast, work onsome maternity<br />
issues, visit anursery, talk withmedia about ongoing<br />
immigration problems and spend anight in Geraldine,<br />
in amongst phone calls, Zoom meetingsand emails.<br />
Its not aglamourous life, but its the sort of work<br />
Ive loved doing for along time.<br />
There are still alot of issues Iwant to pursue on<br />
behalf of thiselectorate.Ialsowant to ensure that<br />
an excellent candidate is selected tostand inmy<br />
place inthe 2<strong>02</strong>3 election. This electorate islarge,<br />
diverse and incredibly special tome. It deserves<br />
someone of the highest calibre.<br />
So Im not going to cruise through, far from it.<br />
Ive got 18months left inthis role, and Iintend to<br />
make the most ofit.<br />

Last Saturday saw the Raukāpuka domain<br />
teeming withpeopleonabeautifulAutumn<br />
day. The Harlequins ventured into the<br />
fray withthe SeniorBskicking offat1pm<br />
-atop-four contender clash with the<br />
homesidelookingtocementtheirplace.<br />
Thegame started wellasveteran Shane<br />
Cunningham crashed overthe line after<br />
astrong surge up the right flank by the<br />
home side. Penalties saw IsaacBolt add<br />
to the tally for the Geraldine team, but<br />
the tenacious Harlequins continued to<br />
apply scoreboard pressure and stay within<br />
reach. Jian Hernawan finished off an<br />
outstanding try; starting from the boot<br />
of first five Isaac Bolt, he put in an attacking<br />
chip toberegathered byahigh-flying<br />
Brook Warena, who managed to offload<br />
in the tackle to centre Kegan Armishaw.<br />
Armishaw then drew the covering defence<br />
and put Hernawan away, scampering<br />
downthe right-handtouchlinetogo over<br />
in the coveringtackle. Late in thesecond<br />
half, the Senior Bs were leading 23-19<br />
until the visitors pulled off amiracle to<br />
score at the death with acontroversial<br />
try,taking thegame to 26-23 at full-time.<br />
Our wāhine toa ventured out to the<br />
bright lights of Hagley Park to take on<br />
the HighSchoolOld Boyswomens team.<br />
In what some may have anticipatedasa<br />
substantial test for our women, they<br />
completely bulldozed the Christchurch<br />
team. It was an absolute clinic put on by<br />
the Geraldine side as they ran away<br />
comfortably, 86-12, with runaway tries,<br />
teamtriesand somebarnstorming runs.<br />
Sina Stedefeld, who recently returned<br />
from Germany, brought her jet shoes<br />
as she electrified the fans with three<br />
tries ofher own. Keep up the mahi,<br />
ladies. They sit atop the table in the<br />
womens grade.<br />
The Axemen were lookingtoput in an<br />
80-minute performance in the main game,<br />
as slow starts have cost themdearly this<br />
season. nfortunately, it was no different<br />
in thefirst 20 minutes againstHarlequins<br />
as they stared down the barrel of a17-0<br />
deficit.Poordiscipline allowed the visitors<br />
to capitalise with penalties and keep the<br />
scoreboard tickingover.Inthe 25th minute,<br />
the Axemenstarted to make the gain line,<br />
with the bigboppersshowing footwork at<br />
the defensive line to getthroughthe tackle.<br />
This momentum was rewardedwith atry<br />
to number 8Luke Biutanaseva to put the<br />
homeside 17-5 down with 10 minutesto<br />
go in the first half. The Axemenlookedto<br />
have secured the ball from the kickoff,<br />
only to have it rippedout of their hands.<br />
TheHarliesplayer outstretchedthe cover<br />
defence to dot down just minutes before<br />
halftime, 24-5.<br />
The Axemen rallied and started to<br />
dominate the collisions and offload to<br />
their exciting outside backs. One such<br />
play saw them rumble into the visitors<br />
30-metre zone, then go widethrough the<br />
hands to find anunmarkedBailey Booth<br />
on the wing to dance throughthree cover<br />
defenders and dot down, 24-12 with 30<br />
minutes to go. The Axemenapplied further<br />
pressure by building phases and retaining<br />
the ball from one side ofthe field and<br />
back to the other. They continued until<br />
Que Coops popped up at first receiver to<br />
execute a20-metre pass to KD Paulo,<br />
bursting through agap to go in from 30<br />
metres out,24-17with 10 minutes to go.<br />
As fate would have it,amistake fromthe<br />
kick-off allowed the visitors torumble<br />
overfrom amaul to go up 31-17with five<br />
minutes to go.The Axemen dugdeep and<br />
securedthe ballfrom the kick-off, busting<br />
holesinthe tiredHarlequin defence. They<br />
camped on Harlies goal line, only to be<br />
held up over the line from an ill-timed<br />
pick and go, with acertain try onoffer<br />
out wider.Full-time 31-17 to the visitors.<br />
The Axemen will be ruing missed<br />
opportunities and costly errors asthe<br />
gamewas theirs forthe taking. Next week<br />
the GeraldineRugby Football Club seniors<br />
travel to Waimate. See you there.<br />

compete for the Johnny McGrath Memorial<br />
Trophy for walkers, and the runners atime<br />
trial. The 5km distance was set at Argyle Park<br />

good competition especially amongst the<br />
walkers which Johnny would have enjoyed.<br />
Stacey Hooper, Alison Conway and Andrew<br />
Saunders walked as astrong trio for the first<br />
two kilometers. Hooper and Conway continued<br />
on the heels of one another with just a<br />
minute separating them at the finish. The<br />
runners also had close competition with just<br />
over a minute separating Grace Forde and<br />
Tam Grant in the finish, followed soon after by<br />
Gary Whiting.<br />
Club members also acknowledged the<br />
recent passing of Marie McGrath. Like Johnny,<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Ladies Friendship Club<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> Ladies Friendship Club<br />
met at the Sinclair Centre on the 25th May at<br />
9.45am with an improved number of members<br />
present and 7apologies receivedand 1visitor<br />
welcomed.<br />
The National Anthem was sung followed<br />
by celebrations of 1birthday and 1wedding<br />
anniversary. Business arising was discussed<br />
and raffles drawn - well done Pat and<br />
Elizabeth<br />
Our 35th anniversary of the club was<br />
discussed and three members appointed to<br />
organize it in combination with our mid winter<br />
celebration next month.<br />
Our mini speaker was Pauline Scott on a<br />
recent trip she and three other ladies from<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>made to the ChathamIslands on an<br />
organized tour group of 20 which left from<br />
Christchurch. They are 850kms east of<br />
Christchurch and consist of 2 main islands<br />
which were settled 800 years ago by the<br />
Moriori .Now adays the population live in<br />
relative harmony.<br />
The main speaker was Cathy Harrington<br />
Watt team leader of the refugee settlement<br />
support .They have settled 45 Afghan former<br />
refugees here in town -mainly single parent<br />
families of up to 10 people and mainly of the<br />
Hazara faith. The familiesare spread throughout<br />
our town. Some of whom have waited up<br />
to 22 years to be settled having lived in<br />
neighbouring countries while waitingfor settlement.<br />
The children learn English more quickly<br />
than the adults who go to the Learning Centre<br />
up to three times a week. Lack of public<br />
transport is aproblem and they either bike or<br />
walk until they have alicence and purchase a<br />
car. There are many adjustments for them to<br />
make.<br />
She was thanked byBev and presented<br />
with agift and donation.<br />

HOME &GARDEN<br />
It’s all about which style works for you<br />
BY VIVIENNEJAMES<br />
Contemporary, midcentury,<br />
transitional, industrial,<br />
traditional, shabby chic,<br />
glamorous, eclectic, coastal. It<br />
becomes amine field.<br />
But what does style really<br />
mean and why is it so confusing<br />
and difficult to define?<br />
With an abundance of unique<br />
design styles, it can be daunting<br />
to decipher which style will<br />
work best for you.<br />
The challenge is to<br />
understand, describe and<br />
define our personal interior<br />
design style.<br />
Agreat starting point is to<br />
learn abit about each of the<br />
styles and how they differ from<br />
one another. For example:<br />
Modern/MidCentury/ Retro.<br />
Modern refers to avery<br />
particular design style of the<br />
50’s and 60’s.<br />
Natural organic shapes,<br />
white walls and bare flooring<br />
defined by neutral wool rugs.<br />
Contemporary is ever<br />
changing, whatever is popular.<br />
• Additions and Renovations • All types of maintenance<br />
• Commercial and Farm buildings • New Housing<br />
Open plan, comfortable and<br />
sustainable.<br />
Shabby Chic is vintage and<br />
tends to be feminine, and<br />
delicate.<br />
Glamorous.<br />
Dramatic, and opulent. Think<br />
black, white, reds and golds.<br />
Industrial.<br />
Exposed brick, ductwork,<br />
pipes and wood. High ceilings,<br />
dangling metal lighting,<br />
functional furniture.<br />
When people ask interior<br />
decorators for French, things<br />
can get very confusing. As with<br />
any design there are many<br />
styles. So French what?<br />
Country, industrial, traditional,<br />
the list goes on.<br />
Endless discussion with<br />
friends and relatives is<br />
interesting but in truth is the<br />
road to nowhere. The secret<br />
lies in one simple question;<br />
“What is my style?”<br />
Confronting? Yes, as it means<br />
there is work ahead.<br />
It means looking at ourselves<br />
instead of others. You need to<br />
be brave.<br />
You need to tell the story of<br />
2478920<br />
who you and your family are.<br />
While books and magazines<br />
are helpful tools to inform on<br />
fashion, colour, trends, along<br />

with endless combinations of<br />
fabric and furniture they can<br />
overwhelm and confuse.<br />
Style is apersonal journey<br />
requiring definition, personal<br />
expression<br />
balanced with practicality,<br />
confidence, authenticity, and<br />
honesty.<br />
Fashion and trends are one<br />
thing, style is another.<br />
Fashion comes and goes<br />
while the expression of good<br />
taste and style stand the test of<br />
time.<br />
We all have responsibilities<br />
and limited wallets causing the<br />
dilemma as to how to spend our<br />
money wisely.<br />
We can constantly follow the<br />
latest fashions and trends and<br />
redecorate as often as our<br />
purse will allow or aim for<br />
stylish interiors that offer a<br />
timeless appeal but that can in<br />
small ways be constantly<br />
reinvigorated.<br />
Most important on this<br />
amazing journey is to enjoy the<br />
ride. Experiment don’t be<br />
afraid to make amistake. Take<br />
your time. Remember this is<br />
about you and your style.<br />
Interaction would be fun so if<br />

Monster garage sale draws the crowds<br />
Hundreds of people turned out<br />
to snap up abargainatlast<br />
weekend’s <strong>Ashburton</strong> Pakeke<br />
Lions Charitable Trust’s<br />
monster charity garage sale.<br />
The two day sale, at theformer<br />
RX Plastics buildingonWest<br />
Street, raised around$13,500.<br />
Amongthe bargain hunters<br />
were Fiona Giles and daughter<br />
Clodagh who picked up<br />
Christmasdecorations and a<br />
headboard.<br />
There were plentyofother<br />
bargains on offer including<br />
dolls,cakes,crafts,<br />

toys, bikes, gardenwareand<br />

In the garden<br />
Vegetables<br />
Lettuces are thoughtofas asummer<br />
vegetable but seed of the hardy looseleaf<br />
types, suchas old French variety Merveille<br />
des Quatre Saisons, can be sown under<br />
cloches or underglass now to makeslow<br />
growth until longer days and more sunshine<br />
return. Thesoil must be welldrained and<br />
supplied with plenty of organicmaterial<br />
because lettuces aregross feeders. Cloches<br />
are commercially available butyou can<br />
make your ownwith heavy plastic attached<br />
to awooden frame. Alternatively, find a<br />
sunny position and shelterlettuces from<br />
cold winds.<br />
Flowers<br />
Organic material accessible to urban<br />
gardenersislimited. Untreated sawdust is a<br />
source of plant food, especially on heavy clay<br />
soils, andcan be usedasamulchbetween<br />
rhododendrons, azaleas andcamellias. Its<br />
best use is putting layers in the compost bin,<br />
watering it well then sprinkling alayerof<br />

Fruit<br />
This year,as well as costing more than last<br />
season, fruit trees are expected to be in short<br />
supply. If you have notordered new apples,<br />
pears, plums,cherries andapricots, and<br />
preparedthe ground for them,donot delay.<br />
Aswell as trees, softfruit shrubs,plants and<br />
canes areavailable now. Older gooseberry<br />
varieties,susceptible to an American<br />
mildew, inadvertently introduced in 1984,<br />
havealmost disappeared but two Englishbred<br />
gooseberries, Invicta and Pax, are<br />
resistant to the disease.<br />

Develop good sleeping habits<br />
Theremaybe nothing morepeaceful than asleeping baby.<br />
Yetlearning about ababy’s sleeping patterns and how to<br />
settle them mayhelp youcopebetter,and help your baby<br />
develop good sleeping habits.<br />
Ababy’ssleep cycles areamix of lightand deep sleep.<br />
During deep sleep they hardly move.<br />
During activedreaming (lightsleep)they maytwitch, have<br />
irregular breathing, smile or make sucking motions with<br />
their mouth.<br />
It’s common for babies to move about, open their eyes,<br />
cry orwake during their lighter sleep cycle, then settle<br />
themselves back to sleep.<br />
If your babywakes during lightersleep,waitand give them<br />
time to resettle themselves.<br />
• Atone month babies sleep for about 16 hours in a24-<br />
hour period.The length of each sleep varies.<br />
• Every baby has their own sleep pattern, but this may<br />
not become regular until they’reolder.<br />
• Atfirst, your baby may wake wanting frequent feeds.<br />
For breastfed babies these feeds help to establish and<br />
maintain breastfeeding.<br />
• During the day some babies may only sleep for short<br />
times,while others sleep moreand wake forfeeds every<br />
three to four hours.<br />
• Babies usually have awakeful time in the evening, and<br />
maywanttofeed morefrequently.<br />
• Some babies sleep forlong periods at night.<br />
• After six weeks ababy’s sleep pattern may change as<br />
they become morewakefulduring the day.<br />
• Your babymay starthaving longer sleeps at night.<br />
• It’susual forbabiestowake at nightfor feeds.<br />
• Ifyour baby is sleeping in abassinette, it mightbetime<br />
to move them into acot.<br />
Babies who have only short sleeps may become overtired.<br />
Your babymay showsigns of tiredness afterafeed,anappy<br />
change,playtimeorcuddle.Itiseasy to mistake these signs<br />
forwind or hunger.<br />
Put your baby tobed before they become overtired –it’s<br />
harder to settle overtired babies.<br />
Settling your baby tosleep in their own safe place on<br />
their back, with their face clear, helps reduce the risk of<br />
suffocation.<br />
Some newbornbabiesfall asleep being cuddled,rockedor<br />
fed, and then have agood sleep. But they may develop a<br />
pattern ofneeding to be fed orrocked tosleep, and then<br />
waking,crying, soon afterbeing put to bed.<br />
Don’t take baby into bed with you tosettle them –if<br />
you’re tired and fall asleep with them, they could end up<br />
suffocating.<br />
