Proposal to move 

Boer War site 

Council has appliedfor resource 

consent to relocate the BoerWar 

memorial from Baring Square East 

to BaringSquare West, whereitwill 

sit with Ashburton’s other war 

memorials. 

The proposed relocationispart of 

a$3millionprojecttorejuvenate 

Baring Square East and build anew 

oneway roadand plaza linking to 

council’s new library andcivic 

building, Te Pataka akaTuhituhi 

andTeWaharoa aHinePaaka. 

Council chief executive Hamish 

Riach said resource consent was 

neededfor the relocation as the 

memorial had heritage status in the 

District Plan.“That means the 

application has been prepared by an 

independentplanner andhas been 

publicly notified, so members of the 

communitycanhave their say on the 

mattertoo. 

“The new location will be 

different,but no less appropriateas 

Baring Square West is thehomeof 

other warmemorials.” 

The BoerWar memorial was 

unveiledin1903 to honoursoldiers 

of the district that served in the 

conflictand it bearsthe names of six 

soldiers.Itwas previously relocated 

from its originalsite in the square in 

1978. 

Mr Riach said council had already 

talked with the AshburtonRSA and 

the New ZealandDefenceForce 

about how to ensure asensitive 

relocation to Baring Square West, 

and they were comfortable with the 

project. 

“Residents can read full details of 

the resourceconsentapplication 

online, or at council’s main offices 

and make asubmission by deadline 

on 11 November.”

Square East.

Sundays,started lastweekend. 

Council communityservicesgroup 

managerSteve Fabish said women 

can experienceswimmingina 

completely private space. 

“Their reasons for seeking that 

privacycould be culturalor 

religious, or somewomen might just 

not be comfortable swimming with 

all genders together,’ he said. 

‘‘Whatever the reason, we want 

women to be able to come to our 

pools for time out andtomeetother 

women in awelcoming and

Mr Fabish saidswimmer numbers

“We would normally be closingthe

there is no impact on regular users, 

and theresult could be more

Armistice Daynext monthwhich 

falls on CanterburyAnniversary Day, 

and thereshuffled South Canterbury 

AnniversaryDaywill be 

acknowledged in aremembrance 

gathering at the AshburtonRSA. 

Thenational day of remembrance, 

whichtakes place every year on 

November 11 at 11am, is an event to 

remember the closure of World War 

I, and thesilencing of theguns. 

Ashburton RSApresident Merv 

Brentonsaid duetothe date being a 

publicholiday in Canterbury, and 

the likelihood of plenty of road 

noise,the remembrance would be 

held at the RSA,next to the Lone 

Pine tree. 

The remembrance tree is grown 

fromseeds sourced fromGallipoli 

and wasreceived from the National 

RSA to commemorate thecentennial 

of Ashburton RSA. 

‘‘As custodians of the 

remembranceitwas decidedthat to 

give full credence to the occasion, 

competingwith traffic noise on what 

is going to be avery busy day with it 

beingCanterbury Anniversary Day 

and nowalso South Canterbury’s 

belated anniversary day addedto 

what we believewouldbefar too 

noisy,’’ Mr Brentonsaid. 

The cost of road closure was not a 

viable option, however with the Lone 

Pine as aback drop was ‘‘very 

significant as thetree is aTurkish 

Red Pinegrown fromseed sourced 

from Gallipoli,where many ANZAC’s 

lost theirlives seekingworld peace,’’ 

he said. 

‘‘The original Lone Pinewas the 

only tree left on its hill after Turkish 

soldiersfelled the rest to use for 

fortifications. 

‘‘Although the fortificationswere 

blown to pieces shortly after when 

Lone Pine at Ashburton RSA will be the back drop for the Armistice Day 

remembrance service in Ashburton on November 11. 

the Anzac troops arrived, one tree 

survived longenough to give its 

nametothe hill, which the soldiers 

calledLone Pine. 

‘‘This treeatthe RSA is ourliving 

memorial to those unfortunate 

heroeswho lost their lives there,’’ he 

said. 

Cadets from theAshburton Cadet 

Unit would carry outpoint duty and 

there will be aspeakerduringthe 

20minute service. There will be 

seating available for those who need 

it. 

Following the servicepeopleare

refreshments and achat. 

The Armistice was signed by the 

Allies andGermanyand, on the 11th 

hourof the 11th day of the11th 

monthin1918 theguns fell silent. 

The remembranceacknowledged 

the men and women who had served, 

beeninjuredand died in service for 

their country. 

‘‘It is not thevenuethat matters on 

this occasionitisthe reasonwhy we 

arethere, remembrance,’’ he said.

Thereare plentyoftimes in life 

we wish we had known 

somethingsooner. 

But asilver lining of 

hindsight is theopportunityto 

teachothers, so that they don’t 

have to learnthe way we did. 

Safe Families Ashburton are 

hosting an event to bring 

awarenessofwhat to look for in 

unhealthy relationships, 

presented by awomanwho 

wished she had seen the signs 

earlier. 

The event Hindsight 

combineswholesome 

conversation, food stalls,and 

beauty demonstrations withthe 

revelations and afterthoughts of 

domestic abusesurvivor and 

guestspeaker, Hazel. 

‘‘Looking back now Ican see 

all the red flags were there,but 

Ididn’teven knowabout the red 

flags at that stage,’’ Hazel said. 

‘‘I first got beatennot long 

after our first child was born 

and from thereitprogressively 

got worse. 

‘‘I was marriedfor over 47 

yearsand spent most of my time 

trying to fix it.’’ 

Hazel,who will shareher 

storyatthe Hindsightevent, 

saidshe wishedshe had known 

how to see the signs or how to 

get out earlier. 

Anna Arrowsmith, safe 

families coordinator with Safer 

Mid Canterbury,said, ‘‘Iwas 

really passionateabout trying to 

get thatmessage out there. You 

know,this is what ahealthy 

relationship and unhealthy 

relationship lookslike. 

‘‘These are the red flags, 

these are the warning signs, and 

thisisactuallynot OK, and 

educating people around that 

stuff,’’ she said. 

‘‘Whenwelook at intimate 

partner relationships thatare 

domestically harmful, it doesn’t 

start off that way.No 

relationship does. 

‘‘It’s an escalation over time 

of ignoring red flags or shifting 

your line or your tolerance that 

ends up with these unhealthy 

relationships.’’ 

Anna, who is alsoaprivate 

practice counsellor,saidshe 

has seen increasing levels of 

domestic control and 

manipulationthatshe believes 

stems fromtoo much easily 

accessibleinformation, such as 

Snapchat locations and 

Instagramlikes. 

‘‘There definitely needs to be 

some work done there because 

alot of things are happening 

thataren’t OK and that are very 

heavily socially or 

technologicallyinfluenced,’’ 

she said. 

Thoughthis event won’t be 

targeting social media 

manipulation, it will still 

address avariety of pressing 

concerns thatremain everpresent 

in New Zealand 

communities. 

Anna encourages women of 

all ages to come along to the 

event, which she says will be a 

fun and social evening with 

plentyofopportunity to connect 

withother women. 

‘‘Thetalk is appropriatefor 

aged12yearsold andabove ...to 

come along and to listen this 

message and to then store and 

have thisinformation, to take 

somethingfrom it that theycan 

holdwhen they enter into 

relationships,’’she said. 

Hazel said she willshare 

knowledgeonhow to leave a 

relationship safely, and things 

you can do to protect yourself 

during this time. 

There will alsobeasupport 

crewavailable to anyonewho 

wantstotalk at any stage during 

the event. 

‘‘We’ve got over 100 people 

registered already,’’ said Anna, 

who was amazed at the 

response. 

She estimatesaround 50 

ticketsare left for the event, 

which is free, but registrations 

are essential. 

Hindsight is an evening for 

women, held by women. 

SaferMid Canterbury is 

aware that familyabusecan be 

afflicted towardsmen, but are 

trying to address the most 

pressing concern. 

One in four women will 

experience some form of family 

abuse, be it physical, sexual, or 

emotional: 95% of assault cases 

in New Zealand involve amale 

perpetratorand afemale 

victim, and each year roughly 20 

womeninNew Zealand are 

killed due to familyviolence. 

‘‘We do acknowledge it 

happens to men, but that’s not 

the cause we’re tackling at the 

moment,’’ Anna said. 

‘‘We stillhave to be fighting 

the majority as this stage.’’ 

Hindsightwill be held on the 

evening of October 27 at the

WELCOME 

CAYLA COLLINS 

to the Bayleys Mid Canterbury residential and lifestyle team 

Cayla absolutely loves houses and thrives on sharing her 

passion with others. For Cayla this means not merely 

assisting people to buy and sell property but rather 

helping people to find a place to call home. 

Cayla comes from a background that has involved setting 

up several rural businesses. This has given her great skills 

across a number of key areas that have translated 

incredibly well to real estate: marketing, sales, 

administration and more. Her varied talents mean she is an 

expert at identifying the small changes that can make a 

property shine in the eyes of potential buyers. She knows 

how to unlock a home’s full potential and design a 

bespoke marketing campaign that can deliver better than 

expected results to her vendors. 

Cayla’s approach to real estate is brimming with empathy 

and professionalism. She has the ability to instantly 

connect with people from all walks of life and has the 

dedication and commitment it takes to help her clients 

reach their property goals. Sometimes this involves 

working long hours and going above and beyond. Nothing 

is ever too much trouble for Cayla whose can-do attitude 

and loyalty is well known. 

Outside of work Cayla’s interests are many and varied. 

They include F45, photography and spending time with 

her daughter and partner. She loves the outdoors, keeping 

active and exploring all mid Canterbury has to offer. 

As part of the Bayleys Ashburton team, Cayla is passionate 

about the local region and her enthusiasm is infectious. 

She assists a range of sellers and purchasers including first 

homebuyers, families, upsizers, downsizers, investors and 

more.

New signs show 

the way for 

hearty anglers 

AFish &Game worker checks the level on anew sign on the south 

side of the Rakaia River. 

More than 100 new angler 

access signshave goneup 

around the North andMid 

Canterbury Fish &Game 

Region as preparationfor the 

fishing season. It started on 

October 1. 

Angler access signs unlock a 

vast area of fantastic fishing 

spots that afishing licence 

enables anglers to fishin. 

The new signswill largely be 

replacing wornout,dilapidated 

signs, but several are new signs 

for new accesspoints. 

CanterburyFish and Game 

has worked with landowners to 

secure access at these points 

for anglers, andthese access 

points canalso be used by other 

river users. 

There areover400 angler 

access and information signs in 

the North and MidCanterbury 

Region,all the way fromupin 

the Southern Alps to the river 

mouths on thecoast. 

Replacing these signs has 

enabled Fish &Game staff to 

see how goodthe rivers are 

looking since the opening of the 

new season. 

The lowlandSelwynRiveris 

looking in the great shapefor 

the season. 

Continual strong riverflows, 

combined with Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere having several 

periodswhere the lake has 

beentothe sea.Whichhas 

made it possible for sea run 

trout to enter the system in 

good numbers. 

Thebackcountry waters up in 

the Hurunuihighcountry are 

also lookinginexcellent 

condition. 

Theriversall had good flows 

when staff visitedtoplace new 

signage during thisweek's cold 

snap. 

Thewet winter has also 

meant plenty of water to help 

sea run salmon returntothe 

spawning streams. 

Thenew signagewill help 

salmon anglers access fishing 

spots whenthey go fishingwith 

thenew $5 searun salmon 

harvestcard required for sea 

run salmonfishing. 

North Canterbury Fish & 

Gamechief executive officer 

Rasmus Gabrielsson said 

Canterburyanglers had access 

to some worldclass fisheries in 

the region. 

‘‘Wewanttohelp anglers of 

all ages andskilllevels access 

these fantastic fisherieshence 

whywehave put in thiswork 

over the winter months to 

improveaccess for anglers.’’ 

‘‘Anglers' licencefees pay for 

these signs, and many anglers 

don't realisewhere their 

licence fees go. 

‘‘But whenever they seean 

angleraccesssign, and access a 

riverorlake, theycan seesome 

tangible results from 

purchasing afishing licence.’’ 

Special olympics 

Christchurch will host the New 

Zealand Special Olympics 

National Summer Games in 

2025. The games happen every 

four years and attract more 

than 1500 athletes and coaches 

from across the country. 

Special Olympics New Zealand 

chief executive Carolyn Young 

said the games were hugely 

important for the participants. 

“Our athletes often don't get 

opportunities in life to 

participate in sport or other 

things in the general 

community, so Special 

Olympics is really important 

because they have atime where 

they can connect with other 

people that are like them, they 

can get physically active and 

enjoy sport just like everybody 

else, they make friends.” 

Athletes competing could be 

selected for the world games 

the following year, she said.

DeputyPrincipal Message 

NewBuild 

Two and ahalf years ago, Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern announced, in our staffroom, that 

Ashburton College had been allocated 55 million 

dollars for a new school rebuild. That was an 

exciting day. 

However, Idid not realisehow much work needed 

to be donebeforethe diggers actually came in and 

startedthe physical work. 

Adesign brief was created, along with hours of meetings held with the 

various stakeholders and architects to get to where we aretoday. It was 

important toput the time into this stage toensure the outcome will be 

fit forpurpose,and lastanother fifty years.But nowthe siteisfenced-off 

andthe diggers aremaking their mark as they move tons of soil. 

Stage 1 

This stagesees thebuilding of the firstblock,which will be hometothe 

Science, Maths, Agriculture, Drama and Artdepartments. All goingwell, 

this is due for occupation at the end of 2023 so that wecan move in 

beforethe endofthe year and start2024 in the new block of classrooms 

and facilities. 

Other Construction 

At the same time as the first block construction, there will also other 

building work taking placearound the College.One of theGym changing 

blocks will be demolished and anew one built inits place; the historic 

Menorluebuilding will be sound-proofed and the exterior painted ready 

for the Music Department use; and the ‘hub’ for the new heating and 

cooling system will be installed beside thelibrary. 

End of Year 

Our Year 13 students are having their last days of being taught inthe 

classroom at Ashburton College, and will be celebrating their academic 

successes at our Graduation Ceremony on Monday 31October. The 

Year 11 and12students have their Prize-giving onThursday 03 November 

and this is when the Headstudents for2023 will be announced. 

NCEA examinations startonMonday07November. 

Our end-of-year full school assemblies have started, with the nine 

shortlisted Head Students for 2023 giving speeches today before the 

studentsand staff maketheir finalvotefor the topfour students. 

The shortlisted students have been through a rigorous process to 

reach where they are now, which included an interview with the Senior 

Leadership Team. Congratulations go to all studentswho put their name 

forward. 

Next week we celebrate the Sporting and Cultural Blues Awards at 

another assembly. 

All the best for the annual Student Executive versus Staff Chess Match 

tomorrow with the hope, ofcourse, that the teachers continue their 

winning ways! 

2022 has been another year of highs and lows and, upon listening to 

the worldnews, Iamgrateful to liveinthe South Island of New Zealand. 

It will be student holiday time soon and, as this is my final newsletter

Staff vStudent ExecutiveatDodgeball 

Another sports challenge from the StudentExecutivetothe Staff took 

placeatthe end of last term, on Thursday29September. 

Dodgeball is very muchasits name suggests.The intent is to avoid getting 

hit by the ball thrown without mercy from an opposition player, and 

thereforebeing categorised as being ‘out’ofthe game. 

Apparently there were ‘rules’ toplay by, but there were cones ostensibly 

marking boundaries! 

Organiser, and referee, Jayne Cornelius said the outcome on this occasion 

wasaclose 4-3 score, but still to the Staff despitethe best endeavours of the 

Students to scoreasports win this year over the Staff. Itmust be noted that 

staff sports teams showlittle mercy! 

However, the event was good fun on the chessboard during the lunch 

break, in rather warm conditions with the southerly change holding off until 

minutes afterthe game ended.

Cross-CountryEnduroMotocross 

This event, organised by the Gore and Districts Motorcycle Club, was 

held at Tapanui, West Otago on Sunday 18September; having been 

postponed from 04 September due to wetweather conditions. 

Year 11 student NicDalgety was the College’s solecompetitoratthisevent. 

Over the day, therewereover100 competitors in tworaces.Race1held the 

competitive classes, which iswhere Nic was entered; while Race 2 was for 

Noviceandfarmbike riders. 

Theraces were 1.5 

hourslong,around 

12kmloops over a 

range of varied terrain 

including mud-holes, 

up-hills, through 

forestry and gullies. 

We areadvisedthatit 

wasafantastic track 

to race on.

Outcomefor Nic –determinedbyapuncture,after agood start! 

Karen Dalgety, Nic’s mother, said that Nic was doing really well for the first 

time competing in an Enduro. 

In the 16-19 year Open Age Group, hewas running third inhis age group 

and in thetop 10 out of sixty fiveriders in his race -until he got apuncture. 

Nic tried to make itback to the pits to hopefully get his tyre changed but, 

when heading up an uphill section, his tyre unfortunately came off the 

rim which meant the end ofhis racing as he had towait until the race was 

finished before hewas able tobe 

pickedup. 

However, like atrue competitor, 

he’s looking forwardtogiving this 

another go next year.

Band together forbandeddotterel 

Council has taken the banded 

dotterel, Pohowera, under its 

wing inthis year’s Bird of the Year 

competition and is encouraging 

Ashburton district residents to vote 

forit. 

The bandeddotterelisonthe endangered 

bird list but has found astable breeding 

habitat at Wakanui Beach, whichisbeing 

restored as anativebiodiversity area. 

WakanuiBeach wasimportant to Maori in 

the earlydaysand waspartofanetwork of 

settlementsalong thecoastline. 

Ashburton District Council together 

with Wakanui Crew, Wakanui School 

students, farmers in the area and others, is 

enhancingthespacewithnativeplantings; 

rare plants and endangered birds are hard 

to spotthough. 

Nests of the banded dotterel are difficult 

to distinguish and eggs are often atthe 

mercy ofpredators as well as unseeing 

humans and their vehicles. Another 

breeding population of banded dotterels 

is found at the Ashburton Rivermouth, 

withthe highest abundanceofnativebirds 

in Canterbury. 

Community Services Group Manager 

Steve Fabish said the banded dotterel 

had achestnut colouredbreastband and 

preferred coastal shingle habitats and 

riverbeds.

“It’s good that these birds have called 

Ashburtonhomejustlikeall of us andwe 

are solucky tohave agroup committed 

to enhancing Wakanui Beach. Hopefully 

in yearstocome,these birds willbeseen 

more commonly again. We need to do as 

much as we cantosafeguard theirnests. 

“Soifyou’revoting in Birdofthe Year,then 

banded dotterels have tobetop of your 

list. Feel free to tick the boxesfor wrybills 

and black-fronted terns too, as these birds 

arealso in our patch.” 

Banded dotterels breed throughout 

New Zealand on sandy coasts, shingle 

and braided riverbeds, or sometimes 

farmland. Some migrate to Australia once 

nesting is complete,otherstothe northern 

North Island’s harbours and estuaries. 

Forest and Bird member, Val Clemens, 

is currently working with landowners at 

Wakanui Beach to ensure the fledging 

chicks alongthe coastare notdisturbed. 

“Aswell as enhancing Wakanui Beachfor 

banded dotterels and other threatened 

birds, it’s really important that people 

know they exist because human 

disturbance, by vehicle orfoot, damages 

nestsand kills fledging chicks,”MrFabish 

said.

Fasten your seatbelts, 

airport planisadopted 

Adevelopment planfor the Ashburton Airport hasbeen adopted. 

Community feedback has helped 

shape the final Ashburton Airport 

Development Plan, which was 

adoptedbyCouncil recently. 

The plan allows for development at the 

Airportoverthe next30years and aims to 

seethe facility becomemorevibrant and 

financiallyself-sufficient. 

Therewasgeneralsupportfromsubmitters 

for three proposed hangar precincts, 

although Councillors made adjustments 

in response to feedback. Commercial 

activity, that’s better suited away from 

residentialareas,willbeallowedtooperate 

from thenew recreational precinctonthe 

airport’s northern boundary rather than 

thecommercial hangarprecinctadjacent 

to SeafieldRoad. 

The Council also acknowledged that 

care will need to be taken around 

density, amenity and landscaping when 

considering lease applications for the 

commercial hangar area to help retainthe 

open rural feel that localresidentsenjoy. 

Twohectaresalongthe westernboundary 

of the site will be available for building 

hangar homes, where people are able 

live in the same building as their aircraft. 

This will be anew activity forAirportand 

requires resource consent or achange 

to the District Plan. With afull Resource 

Management Actprocess to follow, it will 

takefurtherinvestigationandengagement 

with locals beforethe firsthangarhome is 

built. 

Airport users asked that safety begiven 

a greater priority in the document, 

particularlywithaviationactivitypredicted 

toincreaseinthefuture.Councillorsagreed 

and added safety to the plan’s values, 

ensuring itwill bekey consideration for 

futuredevelopment.Theyalsonoted that 

the airport’sgrass runways will needtobe 

carefully monitored for increased wear 

and tear, as the facility becomes more 

popular. 

Submitters also took the opportunity to 

comment on aproposal from NZ Airline 

Academy (NZAA) to establish a flight 

school at the Airport. While the proposal 

wasn’t part of the development plan 

itself,councillorsnoted the feedback and 

will carefully consider it when the lease 

application is presented for adecision in 

the future.

Pragmatic proposal to reduce emissions 

The Government has released 

apragmatic proposal to reduce 

agriculturalemissions, setting 

up our biggest export earner 

for future successand putting 

New Zealandontracktomeet 

our 2030 methane reduction 

target. 

This is an important step 

forward in New Zealand’s 

transitiontoalow emissions 

future and delivers on our 

promise to price agriculture 

emissions from 2025. The 

Government largely adoptsthe 

farming sector’sproposalto 

priceemissions at the farm 

level. The proposal would see 

New Zealandfarmers lead the 

worldinreducing emissions, 

delivering acompetitive 

advantage, enhancing our 

export brandand helping to 

boostexport earnings. 

Consultationtowork through 

sequestration, levy setting 

process, and transition 

assistance is open fromnow 

until18November 2022 and I 

encourage you to have your say 

through asubmission. 

Ialso wanted to talk about 

the economy. Whenwelook 

around the world it is clear 

thatthings have beentough 

everywhere,but thatNew 

Zealand continuestodobetter 

thanmost.Iwanted to quickly 

report back on some of the 

economic indicatorsthat may 

be of interest. These give real 

reason to feeloptimisticabout 

the future,and the 

opportunities before us. 

New Zealand’s GDP is up and 

our economy is now five 

percent largerthan before the 

pandemic. Unemploymentisat 

anearrecord low and wages 

are up, which makes both 

families and our economy 

strong.Acrossthe key 

economic measures of growth, 

unemployment and debt we’re 

in abetter of similar position 

to the likes of Australia, the 

US, UK and Canada. 

Throughour strong 

economic management, we’ve 

achieved all of these positive 

resultswith asimilar debt 

level to what the previous 

National governmenttook on 

as apercentage of GDP during 

the GlobalFinancial Crisis – 

despitethe covid economic 

crisis being even moresevere. 

Despite all of this,Iknow 

thingsstill feeltough for many 

in the Ashburton Districtinthe 

face of global pressures. That’s 

why we’ve rolled out anumber 

of measurestohelp ease this 

pressure, including with our 

Cost of LivingPayment,action 

on supermarkets, fuel tax cut 

and more. 

While the world still faces 

big challenges, like high 

inflation, there’salot for 

Ashburton to be optimistic 

about.The latest figures show 

that New Zealand is in astrong 

position to navigatethrough 

the uncertainty, and seize the 

opportunities in front of us. 

This FREE classroom based course will help you 

re-familiarise yourself with traffic rules and safe 

driving practices. It will also increase your 

knowledge about other transport options and 

help you remain independent for longer.

Celebrating cultures of Mid Canterbury 

The Ashburton A&P Show is embracing 

and celebrating themanyvarious 

culturesofMid Canterbury, A&P 

AssociationpresidentVictorSchikker 

says. 

He has chosen the themefor this year’s 

show drawing on the extensive multi 

culturaldiversityinthe district’s farm 

communities. 

It wasinrecognition of the changing 

faces of those onthe district’s farms and 

in our communities, helping Mid 

Canterbury’s input onthe world stage, 

and from hisown experiences as theson 

of firstgenerationimmigrants to New 

Zealand. 

In the traditional president’s tent, Mr 

Schikker is drawingonthereach of 

HakatereMulti Cultural Council coordinator 

MercedesWalkham, whowill 

set upculture displays withinthe tent on 

some of themany different cultures in the 

district. 

Each country has aset space in the tent 

where they canhighlight their country, 

geographical location and some articles 

and clothing of interest. 

‘‘Theyare involvedinthe grandparade 

as well,’’ he said. 

‘‘Theyare going to come out with 

placardsoftheir country(andin 

costume), just like the Olympic Games.’’ 

There wereatleast 12 countriesinvolved 

as oflate last week. 

Show president Victor Schikker is celebrating the many cultures in the district. 

Thegrand parade, led by the Ashburton 

Highland Pipe Band, is at 2pm. 

‘‘It’sdefinitely about thepeople (this 

year) as opposed to machinery in Mid 

Canterbury and grain and seed someof 

thetopics we have had in the past. 

‘‘It’s also awee bitabout mebeing the 

first generation from Dutchimmigrants 

and what they have achieved, and what 

others have achieved,’’hesaid. 

Mr Schikker’s parents,the lateKees 

and Mary, were thefirst generation to live 

in New Zealand after arriving from 

Holland. They owned asheep and beef 

farmatMtSomers. 

On farms around MidCanterbury there 

were peoplefrom allaround theworld, 

he said. 

‘‘They arevital to theindustry,farms 

couldn’t run withoutthem,’’hesaid. 

Astock agent for the past 47 years, Mr 

Schikker has been privytoseeing many 

different cultures when outand about for 

work. 

People of different cultures also 

worked in rural servicing positions and 

many agriculture farm support and 

supply roles, including rural sales and 

processing. 

He is hopeful of agreatturnout to the 

show across itstwo daysbelieving people 

arekeen to get outandabout to events 

and the show had plenty to offer. 

‘‘The children’sclasses in the home 

industries pavilionthereare 600+ 

entries, which is good considering they 

didn’t have achildren’s class last year. 

That’sjust schoolspromoting it,’’ hesaid. 

‘‘I’m personally pleased to see the cattle 

class back again. The lastcattle show we 

had wasin2017, so this is the first one 

sincethe onset ofbovis (Mycoplasma

Top South Island dogs take to the yards 

Some of New Zealand’s top dog triallists 

will be on site at the Ashburton A&P 

Showgrounds for the New Zealand 

Yarding Challenge Dog Trials. 

The trials, on both October 28 and 29, 

are run by Tux and part of an annual 

national series and have drawn arecord 

number of 170 entries for the Ashburton 

leg. 

Ashburton A&P sheep convener David 

King said competitors had entered from 

around the South Island. 

‘‘There are people from right up the 

top of the South Island to the very 

bottom of the South Island coming ... 

Nelson, Tasman they are coming from 

there right down to Invercargill.’’ 

There is some top trialling 

entertainment expected with entries 

including current and past New Zealand 

representatives such as Eion Herbert 

and Geoff Allison. 

Mr Kings said the one to watch was 

‘‘the one with the best dog on the day 

and the best sheep’’. 

‘‘The sheep have alot to do with it,’’ he 

said. 

The sheep being used this year are 

halfbred lambs, loaned by Mark 

Copland, and would be readied ahead of 

the show. 

The breed hadbeen usedfor the past 

two years. 

‘‘Usually when we go outand workthem 

for thefirstday theyare prettyflightly but 

then they settle down and they’re quite 

good. You want sheepthatwill stay 

together and don’tbulkapart, and lambs 

tendtostaytogether.’’ 

‘‘Weonly work withthemfor twodays, 

we don’t really train them,’’hesaid. 

‘‘You don’twantthemreally wild, you 

wantthem so theyare competitive you 

know,you don’t want them like petlambs 

walking around, everybody’srun would 

be the same.’’ 

Theevent is runbyTux andincludes 

navigating three sheep through aseriesof 

drives,abridge as well as through a 

personalisedTux courseand amaltese 

cross beforefinishing in apen. 

‘‘It’sthe first (full) showback.We’verun 

thedog trials forthe lasttwo years in 

restricted shows but thisyear it is the first 

show back againafter allthe covid 

restrictions are off,’’hesaid. 

‘‘It should be agoodshow.’’ 

Each competitor will get10minutes for 

their run and beginwith 100points;

Many Mid Canterburycompetitorswill

‘‘I fitinlocalsand do the districtrunoff

RAISINGFUNDSTOEXTENDOUR EXISTINGDISPLAY 

The Ashburton Aviation Museum is recognised as one of the finest 

facilities of its type in Australasia, but nearly 50 years ago it was just a ‘‘pie 

in the sky’’ dream of a few local enthusiasts. 

The museum has a collection that includes a Hawker Harrier - one of 

its star exhibits, a Skyhawk, Vampire FB5, Harvard, Porterfield, Airtruk, 

Olympia, Flying Flea, Harrier GR3, Meteor, Zlin, Vampire T11, Link 

Trainer, Tiger Moth and DC3. 

It also has many new attractions including a control tower, an aeradio 

shed, and a flight simulator of an ATR72 series 500. Anyone keen on 

booking time in the simulator can contact the Ashburton Aviation 

Museum on 03 3086408. 

This event is being co-hosted by the Ashburton Aviation Museum 

and MAG to help the Museum raise funds for a much needed 

display hanger. Come along and visit to view what is an outstanding 

collection of Military and Non Military Aircraft. 

The MAG display will see one of the largest presentations of military 

uniforms, weapons, and equipment ever assembled at one display, 

with dates in history ranging from the New Zealand Maori Wars 

through to Timor. 

So from all of us involved in getting this off the ground we welcome 

you to come and enjoy the Militaria and Aviation Extravaganza.

Just some of the events and activities hosted by the Geraldine Academy of Performance and Arts over the last decade. PHOTOS: Supplied 

The Academy celebrates 10years 

Ten years ago, Geraldine Academy of Performance 

and Arts was born, acentre for the local arts 

scene.Presentand formerstudents, tutors and 

their families, and the wider community, are 

invitedtocelebrate its achievementsand future 

on 28 and 29 October. 

With performance, food, and tuition on 

offer at the anniversary event, Academy 

co-founder andformer coordinator Jill Griffin- 

Robertssays, Its to markthe 10 years and to 

open the place for the community so people 

can see what thespaces are like and get involved. 

She and co-founders Lorina Harding and 

Fiona McKenzie launched the Academy in 

September 2012 after she floated the idea in 

a2009 letter to the Geraldine News. Its 

wonderful what happens when you give an 

idea avoice, she says. 

Indeed, one Academy course, the aptly 

named FindingOur Voices, has been delivering 

performance tuitionfor students with special 

needs since day one. Throughout the decade, 

there have been one-off workshops bytop 

national visual andperforming arts practitioners, 

weekend and week-long courses, youth 

productions of classic plays, winter lantern 

events, monthly blackboard and poetry evenings, 

and weekly classes in everything from choral 

singing to yoga and salsa. 

Academy committee member Kate Elsen 

has been ahands-on supporter since the 

beginning. She says that involvement in the 

arts has transformative power. Forexample, 

nothing has prepared my own children better 

for life than exposure to the arts andperforming. 

Its given them confidence, continuity, poise, 

and self-esteem. Ive observed the same for 

others. 

Noel Trezise, newly appointed Academy 

chair, says the centres board has aview to 

increasing what it does. Its the heartbeat of 

arts andperformanceand culture in Geraldine. 

Its bedded into the communityTheres room 

for more. We want to grow the Academy.The 

Academys building on Talbot Street has three 

multi-use spaces for hire for arts tuition and 

events. Themain area includesfloor-to-ceiling 

dance studio mirrors. 

The anniversary will be celebrated at the 

Academy at 79 Talbot Street. On Friday, 

28 October at 6pm there will be a potluck 

dinner, including complimentary tea and 

coffee (waffles and sausage sizzle extra), 

followed by a7.30pm performanceshowcase 

by present students, and then dancing until 

late. Everyone is welcome; koha is invited. 

Saturday, 29 October, sees guitar and 

ukulele take centre stage, withafreejam from 

10.30am-12pm, hosted by Noel Trezise. All

EDITORIAL 

The sunflower has long held ameaningful place inthe 

hearts of Ukrainians as their national flower. But since 

Russia invaded their country, the plant has become a 

global symbol of resistance, unity and hope. In avideo 

that went viral earlier this year, aUkrainian woman was 

heard telling armed Russian soldiers onUkrainian soil, 

Take these seeds so sunflowers grow here when you die. 

(Washington Post) 

Congratulations tothe Geraldine Academy of 

Performanceand Arts on theirfirstdecade. Hugh and 

Iremember early conversations with the trio that 

eventually launched the organisation, and our little 

design companywas privileged to come up with the 

Academys logo. Itisalong time ago, and they have 

put on agreat number of shows and activities since. 

Still on the theme of the performing arts, we are 

heartened that The Geraldine Arts Council assures us 

that the first few months of the Arts on Tour programme 

is assured despitedefunding by Creative NewZealand 

(page 9). We areinvited to lobby CreativeNew Zealand 

andthe Hon JacindaArderninher capacity as Minister 

for Arts, Culture and Heritage for areversal ofthat 

decision, though we notethatCreativeNew Zealand 

functions independently of government. 

Creative New Zealands decision to axe funding 

forthe Sheilah Winn ShakespeareFestivalhas raised 

the ire ofsome of our acting community, notably 

Sir Sam Neil, Robyn Malcolm and Michael Hurst. 

AccordingtoTuesdays OtagoDailyTimes,the decision 

to defund the festival was because itdid not 

demonstrate the relevance tothe contemporary art 

context ofAotearoa inthis time and place and 

landscape. Italso said Shakespeare was located 

within acanon ofimperialism and missed the 

opportunity tocreate aliving curriculum and show 

relevance. Theyhave certainly raised an interesting 

debate. 

It is exciting to see that the Geraldine Domains 

newartificial turfisalmost complete.Welookforward 

to reporting on the firstgames that take placethere. 

It is also greattosee the returnofpubliceventssuch 

as St Andrews Light Partyand the Soul Food Variety 

Show. If Covid has taught us anything, itsthat we do 

miss each others company and the fellowship of 

community when we cant access it. 

Have agood week, and dont forget to plant your 

sunflowers. FI (It seems likesuchashortnamewhen 

it sits by itself, LOL.) 

Agreat many people 

think they are thinking 

when they are merely 

rearrangingtheir prejudices.

Ryans Daughters: acrafty passion 

Sisters JanHorne andKay Hudson always 

talked about having an outlet wherethey 

couldshare craftsthey make.When they 

had both settledGeraldine, Jans garage 

on Talbot Street was transformed into 

their dream. 

Jan says, Half my garage has been 

made into alittle shop. It is close to the 

road, and with French doors added, it 

opens to alovely, light, bright room. 

My sonadded aloweredceiling, andall 

our shelving is made fromrecycled coffee 

tables; everything is repurposed. 

The carpet came from the Geraldine 

Retirement Home. 

Wereboth members of the Geraldine 

Quilting Club.Ienjoy quilting,cross stitch 

andsome knitting andcrocheting combined; 

Kay is into making more weirdand quirky 

things out of repurposed musical 

instruments. On display now is aneat 

wee caravan made from abowl-back 

mandolin.Kay says she makes the weird 

things, but Ithink she has an amazing 

imagination; she seessomething and can 

think what quirky things she could do 

with them. 

Kay says, All our family has been 

crafty. Dad was acabinetmaker and cane 

weaver, and Mum was originally a 

professional photopainter, using oil paints 

before colour photography came in. She 

also loved crafts, like knitting and card 

making. The Ryan family is our clan; 

mum was adaughter of aRyan, and we 

are granddaughters of aRyan, but the 

name Ryans Granddaughters didnt have 

the same ring as Ryans Daughters. 

While both the sisters have worked 

towards this,the shop is also helpingJan 

through therecovery processafterbeing 

diagnosed with breast cancer. In turn, 

some profits from the shop are donated 

directly to the Cancer Society. Jan says, 

I wont always feel uptobeing inthe 

shop or have the energy for crafts, but 

knowing it is here on my property, Ican 

popinany time, and Kay can be here to 

staff it. It is afocus that helps me while 

recovering from the treatment. 

We alsosell items for ladies fromour 

quilting group. They are all very crafty, 

anditsalovelyway for them to showcase 

what they do. Onefriendsupplies us with 

weeknitted toyswithinstructionstopass 

her sales on to the Cancer Society too. 

Located at 206 Talbot Street, Ryans 

Daughters plan to be open six days a 

week from early November,apart from 

Thursdays, as thatisquiltingday, from 

10am till around 3pm. Jan says, If the 

sign is out at thegate, we areopen.For

Jason Shaw, senior elder of St Andrews church, 

says, I am excited to see the Light Partyisup 

and going again after the pause due to Covid. 

On Monday, 31 October, 5pm til 7.30pm, the 

grounds of St Andrews willhost the churchs 

Halloween alternative. 

This yearJason and CoreyWoods aretaking 

charge of the event. Jason says that they are 

offering the communitythe chance to celebrate 

thestart of summer.Thisyear he says that this 

is more important than ever as many people 

are still emerging from Covid hibernation. 

We can get out now and celebrate light and 

life. ... It is time to breathe somefresh air. 

On past experience, the organisers expect 

to see around 300 people come through the 

grounds. Wearegrateful for the support from 

Timaru DistrictCouncil, andfrom local businesses 

like GeraldineButcheryand PropertyBrokers. 

Sideshows areanew feature,wherechildren 

(and theircaregivers) can try their skills.There 

will also be atime-outspace for grown-ups to 

take abreak, while their children enjoy the 

activities. 

The organisers hold the Light Party as an 

alternative to Halloween traditions imported 

from the United States. Jason says, Not 

everybody is comfortable with knocking door 

to door. The great thing about it, in atime 

when some family budgets are hard-pressed, 

is that it is free. The Light Party is St Andrews 

gift to our community. HUGH MCCAFFERTY

KUPU OTEWIKI 

Canon Wiremu Wi Te Tau Huata made the song 

Tūtira mai up as he and his family drove past 

Lake Tūtira inHawkes Bay inthe 1950s. Huata was a 

chaplain inthe Maori Battalion and captain oftheir 

rugby team. However, the song that has become a 

staple in every New Zealand school has had the wrong 

lyrics for over five decades. Huatas daughter Ngatai 

explained that the third-to-last line in the song was 

kia tapatahi, not kia kotapatahi. 

The mistake occurred when the Ministry of 

Education published the song in New Zealand 

schoolbooks inthe 1960s. Follow this link 

youtu.be/3AU5VKlb_7M, to see Taiwhanake Youth 

Academy perform the waiata (albeit incorrectly) and 

learn more about how the mistake occurred

Variety show to feed the soul 

and support the foodbank 

St Marys church will, once again, host a 

community variety concert as its 

contributiontothe performing arts aspect 

of the upcoming Harcourts Geraldine 

Festival. Organiser FiMcCafferty says, 

We are glad to be able toput this on 

again as we emerge fromCovid. 

The audience is asked to bring cash 

and acan for the Geraldine Foodbank. 

Last time [2018], we said acoin and a 

can, says Fi,but this year,wedont want 

to limit peoples generosity. 

She says that the foodbank was chosen 

because it is amuch-needed community 

charity. In the aftermath of Christmas. 

Christmas and holiday spending stretch 

familybudgets,with the costs associated 

with anew schoolyear looming.Looking 

at the price of food in our own shopping 

basket makes me worry about those 

pocketsofpoverty in our area. 

Worthy cause aside, the organisers 

have preparedaprogramme which should 

offer music to please most tastes; eight 

acts, with abreak for tea and abiscuit, 

promisetoprovide an old-time community 

concert. Fi says,We know that the festival 

is abusy time,and, at the end of the day, 

people might just want to go home and 

watch telly. Ihope people can conserve 

their energy so they still have enough to 

come out to not only enjoy ashow, but 

also supportthis important local charity. 

We are very grateful to Jason Shaw 

andfamily, Alan Minnear,MissJazzylicious 

aka Jasmine Aitken, the Geraldine 

Community Choir, the Neighbours, 

Ma Bradshaw and Amelia James for

THEBOARDWALK We recently received the 

geotechnical reportallowing the structural engineers 

to get on and finalisethe Boardwalk plans destined 

forthis area. If youdont recognise it from the photo 

below, youll quickly find it when youstart the trail 

from the bell tower opposite Mundells and head 

down the river track. Funding applications are 

progressingtoaccommodatethe costs of finalising 

the Boardwalk and the completion of Loop 1. The 

Boardwalk will travel close to the bank and then 

gently down to join up withthe trail. Avery exciting 

part ofthe plan is that it is designed for people in 

wheelchairs and those who push buggies. All can 

access the lowerpartofthe trail via the Boardwalk. 

This will makegood the promisethat this sculpture 

trail is for everyone. 

HELP PREVENTVANDALISM As reportedinGNews 

recently,wehaveexperiencedsome vandalism on 

the sculpturetrail. It saddens us to reportthatnow 

we havehad yetanother incident whichhas been 

discussed with our local constable, David Bray. 

In consultation with him, we would like toask you 

to adopt the Neighbourhood Watch approach - 

if yousee anyone damaging furniture,plantsorthe 

trail itself,which is your asset,call 111 to reportsuch 

vandalism. Thank you for your assistance; lets do 

our best to look after this investment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Nikau isatrio of outstanding musicians -(from left)

members of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. 

The trio will perform in Geraldine on 22 February, 2023.

The Geraldine Croquet Club hosted competitors in theSouth IslandMasters Games lastweek. PHOTO:DebbieOliver 

Croquet club hosts masters competition 

Over 200 croquet playersparticipated in 

the SouthIslandMastersGamesduring 

the last 10 days.The Geraldine Croquet 

Club hosted some of the singles games 

at the local croquetlawn. 

GeraldineCroquetClub member Karyn 

Close says, Croquet is such apopular 

sport, and to ensure allthose who entered 

could play, five clubs, including Aorangi, 

Ashbury, Westend,Waimate and ourselves, 

hosted some of the competition. 

Geraldine had 28 players in four 

divisions with ages ranging from 70 to 

91 years competing in the singles 

competition on Mondayand Tuesday last 

week. There was some great play andvery 

close results, with only one or two points 

between goldand bronze medals in most 

divisions. 

We had asmall crew working hard 

to feed, hydrate and do dishes on both 

days. It was ahuge team effort from our 

club ofonly 26 members to host such an 

event. Everyonewas involved in helping 

preparethe grounds, baking, organising 

raffles,setting up thelawns, and working 

on the competition days. 

Geraldine always gets great reviews 

for our well-organised and catered 

competitions and events. We got alittle 

money for helping host the eventbut also 

ran asuccessful raffle. The masters itself 

is ahuge economic boost for South 

Canterburyand Geraldine. Motels,shops, 

and restaurants were all buzzing. 

There was abit of drama getting our 

grounds ready forcompetition play, with 

our ride-on mower seizing upaweek 

before. Jack Ellery organised some club 

volunteers to use our old walk-behind 

reel mower, which saved the day. 

TheGeraldine CroquetClubwas well 

represented, with sevenmembers playing: 

Doug Brinsmead, Leith Geddes, Shirley 

Lindroos, Sue Hutchins, Jack Ellery, 

Chris OSullivan, andJerome OSullivan. 

Jack and Chris both won gold inthe 

singles, with Jack also gaining silver in 

the doubles. Shirley won silver inthe 

singles, and Doug the bronze. 

DEBBIE OLIVER 

It wasfascinating to read Jenny Watts reminiscences 

of her time as secretaryofthe GeraldineArtsCouncil 

and how impressive tohear that Bruce Masons 

work, once performed at the Edinburgh Festival, 

wasreadbythe authoratGeraldine courtesy of the 

arts council ofthe day. 

As the incumbent of Jennysformerartscouncil 

position, Iwould like to thankher forcontinuingto 

support, what is now, the Geraldine Community 

Arts Council. 

Over the last seven years since Ihave been 

secretary,wehavebrought manyoutstanding acts 

to Geraldine through the magnificent services of 

Arts on Tour New Zealand (AoTNZ). In addition the 

the wonderful acts remembered by Jenny, Iwould 

mention that we have on three occasions been 

graced by the talentedactor/directorMichael Hurst 

and comediennePenny Ashton twice. The latter is 

due to appear again late next year, but that has 

been cast into doubt due to AoTNZs now perilous 

financial situation. 

However, it is notall bad news as we will be going 

ahead with the first act ofnext years programme 

-Nikau harp trio comprising Helen Webby, Cathy 

Irons and Paul Lee, all members of the Christchurch 

SymphonyOrchestra.Thisperformanceisplanned 

for22 Februaryand willmost likely be presentedat 

St Marys Church. Meanwhile, AoTNZ continues to 

seek alternativesourcesoffunding so that the tours 

planned for later in the year might go ahead. 

On behalf of our wonderful audiences who have 

given us such sterling support, Ishall continue to 

lobby the government and Creative Communities 

New Zealand, the erstwhile funders of AoTNZ. We 

are seeking areview oftheir heartless decision to 

deprive our small ruralcommunity of the opportunity 

to access professionalperformances of the highest 

quality at an affordable price-all without the need 

to travel to Christchurch or Dunedin forthat privilege. 

The Geraldine Community Arts Council lives on 

andwillcontinue to search out newand innovative 

ways of attracting the best of the arts to perform 

in Geraldine. RICHARD TAYLOR

FOSSILS ACTION AT SI MASTERS GAMES 

Moments of brilliance in a 

weekend where football was 

the ultimate winner. 

The Fossils football team, 

competing in the South Island 

Masters Games 50splus 

football tournament at Timaru, 

came, they played and they ... 

were all able to walk away with 

their heads held high. 

Their victories came in the 

handful of scoring successes 

and on field bouts of brilliance. 

They started with asquad of 

17 but by end of play on day two 

and five matches had lost 

four players through injury who 

were unable to return to the 

field. 

Some with injuries took on 

other workloads; pain relief 

cream and ice packs became 

close friends. 

The Fossils, made up of 

various players since it began 

in 1998, played against teams 

with names such as Coming 

Last, Hardly Athletic and 

Wobblies. 

The two original players left 

are manager/player Philip 

Collins and Ian Clough. 

Fossils may have left the 

grounds this year without a 

medal but, with time on their 

side, and abetter leadup, they 

might just be persuaded to give 

it another crack next year.

Ashburton Combined Friendship Club 

Ross spoke about the trip to Oamaru and 

WaitakiBHS which was excellentand thanked 

Allan for his efforts in organising it. 

Our Mini speaker was Errol Kingsbury who 

told us something of the history of the 

Kingsbury family in Canterbury. The original 

Kingsburys emigrated from Somersetshire 

with 10 Children onthe Captain Cook in 1863. 

They first settled at Saltwater Creek, north of 

Kaiapoi. 

Their eldest daughter Ann married Tom 

Hayman and had emigrated toAustralia with 

their 3children. Their three-room house was 

burned down, and they immediately decided to 

move to NZ and join the Kingsbury family at 

Saltwater Creek. Errol reminded us of the 

hardships and risks faced by these very early 

settlers, not least of which were the conditions 

on the emigrant ships. One wonders how the 

people of today would cope with such 

hardships. The Kingsburys and Haymans 

living in Canterbury today are descendants of 

those early settlers. 

Our main speaker was Fiona Giles who is 

the Outreach Co-ordinator for Hospice Mid- 

Canterbury. She explained that the modern 

Hospice movement was founded by Dame 

Cicely Saunders in the UK and there are now 

more than 7000 hospices in 90 Countries. 

The Hospice movement has aphilosophy 

of care and helping people with life-limiting 

illnesses. 

The Mid-Canterbury Hospice serves and 

supports people throughout the Ashburton 

District in their homes. The Hospice does not 

provide clinical care but is very dependent on 

volunteers (more than 130) to support clients 

and their families in avariety of ways including 

recording life stories, counselling, companionship, 

transport, and therapies such as massage, 

reiki, and relaxation therapy. Fiona 

explained that anyone can make areferral as 

soon as a life limited illness is diagnosed, 

including self-referral, family, or health professionals. 

Funding is from donations, grants, fundraising 

including the hospice shop, and 

business sponsors. For more information see

Ashburton Toastmasters 

Neysa provided her audience with an 

intense insight into the world of American 

football fandom in her cultural share speech 

this evening. She began with the differences in 

the use of the word ‘football’ which surprised 

her when she first arrived in New Zealand. 

Neysa went on to compare the behaviours of 

football fans in the USA and New Zealand. 

‘Let’s talk about loneliness’ was the title of 

Grace’s first formal speech in toastmasters. 

Her 5 - 7 minute presentation discussed 

ostracisation in communities, use of humour 

as acoping mechanism, differences in ages, 

and the influence of social media today. The 

concluding message was encouragement of 

being content with one’s own space and 

having understanding friends. Grace’s speech 

was evaluated by Mike. 

The second formal speech of the evening 

was presented by Matt. This was an educational 

speech to give inspiration for those 

considering entering the next international 

speech and evaluation contests. This educational 

analysed abreakdown of how judging 

was carried out in international and evaluation 

speeches. Matt concluded that the purpose of 

speecheswere to persuade, inform, entertain, 

and inspire. 

Meetings are held fortnightly in the Doris 

Linton Lounge, Ashburton RSA, starting at 

7:30 pm. The next meeting will be on 26

Ōtūwharekai Ashburton Lakes water quality 

results reinforce ongoing need for action 

Hundredsofwater samples taken from the Ōtūwharekai 

Ashburton Lakes and streams overthe past year confirm 

that water quality remains aconcern and reinforce that 

ongoing action is required. 

Thewater monitoring results werepresentedtothe 

Ashburton Water Zone CommitteebyEnvironment 

Canterburyand the Department of Conservation, 

who arepart of the Ōtūwharekai Working Group to 

restorelakehealth and cultural values. 

This group is made up of representatives from rūnanga, 

councils, landowners, Fish &Game and central 

government agencies. 

Thefindings showednegativeand somepositive 

changes acrossthe different lakes and streams of this 

unique sub-alpine catchment,said Dr Tim Davie, 

Director of Science at Environment Canterbury. 

“Theseare small to medium-sized lakes and streams in 

the high country, which means results often fluctuate 

from year-to-year due to climate conditions and other 

variables. However,the results generallyshow increasing 

nutrients and algae,which have causedadeclineinwater 

quality overthe past ten years. 

“Work is already underway to reduce nutrients entering 

the waterways from farming activity,and the nearby 

long-droptoilets in the huts settlement have been 

decommissioned. However,theseactions could take 

some time to makeadifference to water quality results. 

“The positivenews is therehas beenareal willingness
