With weather warmingupand<br />
the borders open, it’s time for a<br />
reminder for people to stay<br />
safe whenventuring into the<br />
outdoors.<br />
Land Search and Rescue<br />
(LandSAR) operates from62<br />
bases across the country, with<br />
over 3500 volunteers.<br />
They are actively involved<br />
with search, rescue, and<br />
recovery of hundreds of lost,<br />
injured, or missing Kiwis each<br />
year, andthey do it all out of<br />
love for their communities.<br />
LandSAR CEO Carl McOnie<br />
said ‘‘between 1st July 2021<br />
and 30th June <strong>2022</strong>, Land<br />
Searchand Rescue volunteers<br />
were involved in 373 search<br />
and rescue operationsand two<br />
Civil Defence operations,<br />
bringing home364 people and<br />
committing acombined<br />
<strong>10</strong>0,345 volunteer hoursto<br />
searchand rescueactivities.’’<br />
He said searches were up<br />
18% compared to the previous<br />
year.<br />
Recentmonths have seen<br />
volunteers from Methven and<br />
Rakaia groups kept active.<br />
They were called in to<br />
search for atramper who had<br />
been separated from hisgroup<br />
in August while walking near<br />
Benmore Hut.<br />
Several Canterburyteams,<br />
including two search dogs,<br />
were helicoptered in and the<br />
tramper was located alive and<br />
well.<br />
Paul McFall, avolunteer at<br />
the Rakaia Search and Rescue<br />
base,said, the mostimportant<br />
thingtoremember when in the<br />
outdoors is to staytogether <br />
neversplit from your group or<br />
companions.<br />
‘‘Most searches happen<br />
because of separation,’’ he<br />
said.‘‘Ideally have aPersonal<br />

College prohibits use of cellphones<br />
INDI.ROBERTS<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College has made acall on<br />
the use of cellphones within the school,<br />
with principal Ross Preece saying the<br />
new policy will address anumber of<br />
concerns, including bullying.<br />
Anotice was sent out to parents last<br />
week which outlined the new school<br />
policy on the use of cellphones.<br />
‘‘Following due consideration, our<br />
Board of Trustees has made the<br />
following decision effective from the<br />
start of the 2023 school year,’’ Mr Preece<br />
wrote.<br />
‘‘From the beginning of the school day<br />
until the end, the phone is to be turned<br />
off and kept in abag (not in apocket).<br />
This includes interval and lunchtime.<br />
‘‘If aphone is seen by astaff member<br />
it will be confiscated. Refusal to hand<br />
over the phone will become apastoral<br />
matter. Year 13 students will be allowed<br />
discreet use of cell phones.<br />
‘‘College management will provide<br />
more detail on the daytoday<br />
management of this policy in due<br />
course.’’<br />
Mr Preece outlined the reasoning<br />
behind the decision which included<br />
creating abetter learning environment<br />
for students and reducing the amount of<br />
harmful content distributed through<br />
social media.<br />
‘‘Our aim is to enhance both the social<br />
and academic curriculum,’’ he said. ‘‘We<br />
have gathered evidence over the past<br />
year which shows the impact of cell<br />
phones on student learning and ability<br />
to relate to others.’’<br />
He recognised that cellphones are<br />
distracting and can impact students’<br />
ability to focus which can have a<br />
negative affect on achievement rates.<br />
He also acknowledged cellphones<br />
provided platforms in which students<br />
can access, create and distribute<br />
harmful content which may be used to<br />
bully or harass other students.<br />
Mr Preece said by eliminating the use<br />
of cellphones within school hours, he<br />
hoped to see an improvement in social<br />
interactions between students.<br />
‘‘Currently, we see large numbers of<br />
students sitting at breaks and staring at<br />
their screens,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘Strengthening skill sets such as oral<br />
language requires time spent talking to<br />
other people.<br />
‘‘This is developed through formal<br />
and informal situations, both in class<br />
time and during interval and lunchtime.<br />
‘‘Conversations are required in order to<br />
work together, to connect and<br />
collaborate. The ability to relate and<br />
engage positively with others also plays<br />
an important role in enhancing the<br />
culture of our school.’’<br />
Mr Preece said the board had spent<br />
the last year evaluating the use of<br />
cellphones during school time before<br />
reaching this decision.<br />
He had previously claimed alarge<br />
portion of student bullying occurred on<br />
social media platforms, of which the<br />
school had little jurisdiction due to<br />
privacy laws.<br />
‘‘It’s areal challenge for schools to<br />
deal with the influence of social media,’’<br />
he said. ‘‘Particularly when parents give<br />
their children unfettered access.’’<br />
He said when it comes to bullying, ‘‘If<br />
it happens at school then we can deal<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College principal Ross Preece<br />
has announced the decision to ban the<br />
use of cellphones within school hours.<br />
with it. But the vast majority of stuff is<br />
online, it’s actually quite rare to have a<br />
physical encounter ... most of the<br />
damage is done via social media.’’<br />
He said the Board of Trustees had<br />
considered changing the policy on<br />
cellphone use last year, but had opted to<br />
give it more consideration.<br />
‘‘<strong>Ashburton</strong> College is working to<br />
develop learners who are engaged in<br />
learning for life, collaborative,<br />
connected and creative.<br />
‘‘We want to ensure that <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
College is providing an environment<br />
where students are encouraged to<br />
develop these skills, attitudes and<br />
attributes.’’<br />
He said that parents who need to<br />
contact students throughout the day will<br />
still be able to do so through the school’s<br />
office.<br />
The new policy will come into effect at<br />
the start of the 2023 school year.<br />

Picnic time for teddy bears ... Dainty<br />
Dancers from Life Dance Academy<br />
have been rehearsing their Teddy<br />
Bears' picnic dance ahead of their end<br />
of year Christmas shows.<br />
Fire chief reassures community<br />
Chief fire officer Alan Burgess, of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Volunteer Fire Brigade,<br />
is reassuring the public of their<br />
safety during nationwide strikes this<br />
month planned by members of the<br />
New Zealand Professional<br />
Firefighters Union (NZPFU).<br />
NZPFU represents 1739 employed<br />
firefighters and issued strike notices<br />
for three onehour full stoppages of<br />
work from 11am to noon on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 21, 25, and 28.<br />
Mr Burgess said ‘‘We have<br />
received comments from concerned<br />
members of the public who are<br />
worried that the strike action puts<br />
them at risk.<br />
‘‘I can reassure the public that the<br />
volunteer fire service in <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
is not part of the union action and<br />
will continue to turn out and protect<br />
the community as usual.’’<br />
Volunteer firefighters make up<br />
85% of New Zealand’s frontline fire<br />
services and are the first responders<br />
across 93% of New Zealand’s land<br />
mass.<br />
The United Fire Brigades’<br />
Association (UFBA) says local<br />
firefighters will turn out as usual and<br />
protect the public during the<br />
employed firefighters union’s latest<br />
stop work action.<br />
Earlier, strikes scheduled by the<br />
NZPFU were called off while<br />
negotiations took place.<br />
They were reestablished later<br />
that day.<br />
While the UFBA says they support<br />
fair pay for employed firefighters<br />
and is keen to see the ongoing<br />
dispute settled as soon as possible,<br />
they stand by their decision that<br />
significant funding to settle the<br />
claim must not come from funding<br />
needed to equip and train volunteers<br />
brigades, it must be new money for<br />
FENZ.<br />
UFBA board chairPeterDunne<br />
said ‘‘While we respect the union’s<br />
role is to advocate for the terms and<br />
conditions of employmentfor<br />
employed firefightersasitsees fit,<br />
thecosts to settle their industrial<br />
claimmustnot come fromfunding<br />
to supportvolunteers,either<br />
directly or indirectly,‘‘ he said.<br />
‘‘NewZealand’s fire servicesare<br />
largely reliant on thegoodwillof<br />
volunteer firefighters, their<br />
employers andtheir own<br />
businessesifthey are selfemployed.<br />
‘‘They risk theirhealth and<br />
wellbeingfor us all,and they<br />
deserve more support, not less.”<br />

NCEA Exams Underway<br />
Our NCEA exams are underway. For all secondary<br />
schools there isaremarkable change of emphasis<br />
regarding the importance attached to external<br />
exams.<br />
When Iwas in Year 11, School Certificate exams<br />
were very much ‘all or nothing’, which placedhuge<br />
pressureonstudents.<br />
Now students can achieve apass in NCEA with a<br />
healthy diet of internal assessments. This means that, for the students<br />
who are satisfied with passing, there isadistinct lack of enthusiasm for<br />
serious study orspending three hours in an exam. This is anation-wide<br />
trendand the studentsattempting the exams areeither aimingfor Merit<br />
or Excellence Endorsement; or they have‘lefttheir runlate’and they need<br />
someextra credits to passthe year.<br />
Interestingly, the changes to NCEA Level 1which apply from 2024 will,<br />
by design, force students tocomplete external assessments in arange<br />
of subjects.<br />
NetsafeWebinar<br />
My thanks toall whānau members who took the opportunity to access<br />
the NetsafeWebinar that was organised and advertised for last Tuesday<br />
evening. As mostofuswillappreciate,the misuse of social media has the<br />
abilitytocause serious harm.<br />
In my experiencemanyparents/caregivers areaware thattheir child has<br />
received potentially harmful messaging via some form ofsocial media.<br />
However, it is alsoveryclear that many parents/caregivers areunaware of<br />
the potentially harmful messaging their child maybecreating orsharing.<br />
We work very hard toensure the well-being of our students but, of<br />
course, wecannot control the messaging and content that happens<br />
outside of school.<br />
2023 College Cellphone Policy<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College is working to develop learners who are engaged in<br />
learning forlife, collaborative, connectedand creative.Wewanttoensure<br />
that <strong>Ashburton</strong> Collegeisprovidinganenvironmentwherestudents are<br />
encouraged to develop these skills,attitudes and attributes.<br />
Ouraim istoenhanceboth the social and academiccurriculum. We have<br />
gathered evidence over the past year which shows the impact ofcell<br />
phones on studentlearning and ability to relate to others.<br />
Strengtheningskill sets such as oral languagerequires timespenttalking<br />
to other people.This is developedthrough formal and informal situations,<br />
bothinclass timeand during interval andlunchtimes.Conversationsare<br />
requiredinorder to work together,toconnectand collaborate. Theability<br />
to relate and engage positively with others also plays animportant role<br />
in enhancingthe cultureofour school.<br />
Afterdue consideration, our BoardofTrusteeshas made thefollowing<br />
decision, effectivefromthe startofthe 2023 school year:<br />
1. From the beginning of the school day until the end, the phone isto<br />
be turned off andkeptinabag (notinapocket). This includes interval<br />
and lunchtimes.<br />
2. If aphone is seen by astaff memberitwill be confiscated.<br />
3. Refusal to hand over the phonewill become apastoral matter.<br />
4. Year 13 students will bealloweddiscreetuse of cell phones.<br />
5. College management will provide more detail onthe day-to-day<br />
management of this policyindue course.<br />
Thereare three drivers behind this decision:<br />
Firstly-cell phones aredesigned to be addictiveand distracting,and not<br />
having them around will improve our learners’ focus and ability to stay<br />
on task;thusimproving results and achievement.<br />
Secondly -some students arecreating or sharing content thatisharmful<br />
or incites others to do somethinginappropriate,which causes disruption<br />
to aschool environment.<br />
Thirdly -the lack of phone accessibility will encourage students to<br />
interact with others orbeactive atbreak times. Currently, wesee large<br />
numbersofstudents sitting at breaks andstaring at their screens.<br />
This decision has been under consideration for ayear. Our Board of<br />
Trustees wantedassurancethatstudentswouldn’t miss out on access to<br />
learning devices.<br />
If you need to get amessage toyour child during the day, then the<br />
College Office willbeabletodeliver anyessential messages.<br />
We thank youfor your supportinthismatter. Ross Preece<br />

Principal’s Address<br />
Following the welcome by<br />
Deputy Principal and MC for the<br />
evening, Jono Hay, Principal Ross<br />
Preece welcomed and addressed<br />
attendees. Acknowledged was<br />
the celebratory purpose of the<br />
evening, andthe opportunityfor the<br />
AshColl community to celebrate the<br />
achievements.<br />
Ross noted that senior students<br />
had had three years of disruption<br />
and challenges as they navigated<br />
the interruptions of COVID, time<br />
out of school, illness or that of<br />
family members, teacher absences<br />
and online learning. The out-ofclassroom<br />
activities which often provide lasting school memories had<br />
certainly been disrupted over the past three years.<br />
COVID,Ross said,had providedaunique world-wide shared experiencewith<br />
everyone on the planet facing the same health and communitychallenges<br />
at the same time.<br />
Looking to the future Ross reminded students that certain skills and<br />
dispositions will be required for success, and especially for future<br />
employment. Included in this are the skills of flexibility and adaptability,<br />
creativityand co-operation, plus working with digital tools in their entirety.<br />
Ross suggestedthatthe students’experiences over the last three years had<br />
equipped them well for acquiring these skills, through learning outside of<br />
anormal classroom setting, and becoming creative problem-solvers and<br />
working collaboratively with others,inmanycases via online or social media.<br />
Ross acknowledged the challenges for teachers, and their hard work over<br />
the challenging COVID years working with and for students, online and in<br />
the classroom and, attimes, managing both learning options at the same<br />
time,while also supporting catch-up learning.<br />
Thanked were the Board ofTrustees who continued to provide oversight<br />
and wisdom during the challenging time. Ross thanked them for their<br />
governance on behalf of our students and staff.<br />
Ross wished students all the best as they leave College, saying they<br />
had every reason to be excited about their future prospects with career<br />
opportunities availableand the returnofinternational travel.<br />
Students were remindedthatthe AshColl WayValues of striving to Achieve<br />
Quality, Show Pride, and be Respectful to others would always stand them<br />
in good stead. His one piece ofadvice for students into the future was to<br />
find something that challenges and brings asense of fulfilment, saying a<br />
workingcareer is toolong to be doing something youdon’t enjoyorwhich<br />
doesn’t bring satisfaction. He concluded with the advice that students are<br />
in charge of theirown destinyand should look to have afuturewhich feeds<br />
their soul.<br />
Traditionally,Ross looks back eighteen years to inventions that arrivedinthe<br />
worldatabout the same time as the Year 13 students.<br />
In 2004 thecool newthing to do wasblogging! Theother notable invention<br />
was the creation of Facebook which now regularly connects two billion<br />
people around the world, albeit the social media platforms often provide<br />
amixed blessing.<br />
Ross concluded by congratulating the students on their successes, and<br />
wishing them well fortheir futures.<br />

leaving friends who inspire me<br />
and teachers who’ve been my<br />
mentors,somanypeople who’ve<br />
shaped my life, and my fellow<br />
students’ lives impermeably<br />
and forever. It is abitter-sweet<br />
feeling, with afamiliar chapterclosing and another unknownone opening’.<br />
Jorja said that their College journey had been full of inconsistency and<br />
change; unexpected, unrelenting,unusual,uncertainand unprecedented.<br />
However, Jorja linked the word ‘unprecedented’ with all of the Year 13<br />
students, emphasising they areunprecedented,theyare asecondaryschool<br />
class thathas donesomething never knownbefore.<br />
Jorja said that, as ayear group, all had grown and overcome so much<br />
during the last year three years, and the fact they were sitting at the<br />
Year 13 Graduation Ceremony showed their strength and resilience. They<br />
had formed relationships with the people they love, people they care<br />
about, people who went on this crazyjourney along with them, the journey<br />
without aconsistent school week, yet still being stressed out over internal<br />
assessment deadlines! Students were challenged to continue to encourage<br />
and inspire themselves and the people aroundthem, adding thatmanyhad<br />
inspired her.<br />
Looking ahead wasafuturefast approaching,moving away from our friends<br />
and families for many, and leaving behind the familiar. Itwould beafirst<br />
time venturing into the ‘big wide world’ whether tertiary, apprenticeships,<br />
jobs or agap year.<br />
Acknowledged were parents and family members who had brought<br />
students tothis point, believing in their children, with Jorja specifically<br />
thanking her family for all of their support, including when the challenges<br />
of being overwhelmed set in.<br />
Appreciatedwerethe dedicatedteachers at <strong>Ashburton</strong> College,notingtheir<br />
commitment tostudents’education and ability tomake College both fun<br />
andasafeplacefor acquiring knowledge.<br />
Jorja thanked staff and the Year 13 Leavers for entrusting her with the role<br />
of Head Student, one ofher most challenging yet rewarding experiences.<br />
Jorja said she would be forever indebted to the number of opportunities<br />
which had arisenduring her timeinthe ‘red stripes’. Supportand help from<br />
the HeadStudentteam andfellowStudent Leaders wasacknowledged with<br />
appreciation, including from all students.<br />
In conclusion Jorja had one sentiment she wanted students to take away<br />
from her speech, saying ‘you are all capable of taking on any obstacle that<br />
maylie in your life’.<br />
Allhad faced achallenging high school experiencethathad never happened<br />
before,had overcome it andmade it worthwhile.<br />
Thestudents were challenged to grasp everyopportunitythatcomes their<br />
way. Having shown immense grit and determinationthey were encouraged<br />
to embracethisresilienceinfuturegoals,jobs and aspirations. Jorja signed<br />
off with the wise words of Harry Styles –‘Treat People With Kindness’–as<br />
this will get youwhereyou want to be in life’.

Congratulations<br />
Head StudentSpeech –Jack Brown<br />
Jack opened by also thanking his<br />
parents, staff, students, Year 13<br />
students and fellow Head Students<br />
and StudentLeaders.<br />
Jack advised that hewanted tomake<br />
his last speech fun and to the point,<br />
so he startedwith agame‘put afinger<br />
down’ifstudents had –<br />
• more than one fire alarm gooffat<br />
school in aday.<br />
• forgotten to wear sunscreen and<br />
got sunburnt on asummer day at<br />
school<br />
• achange of Akoteacher at least onceduring their time at AshColl<br />
• forgotten to bring acoin on non-uniformday.<br />
• forgotten what aprevious Head Student had said in their prize-giving<br />
speech.<br />
Jack then said he knew the above was‘cringeworthy’but he wantedtoget<br />
the point across that everything is temporary, with all of the above having<br />
happened in the past while students are now moving forward into the<br />
future.<br />
He suggested that students may have thought they would be Year 9<br />
students forever, but nowthey are‘big,scary Year 13 students’. He said that,<br />
yes, he is aHead Student now, but next year all Year 13s move out oftheir<br />
AshCollnest into the big, wide worldand anew set of students will fill that<br />
space.<br />
However, no matter whereeach Year 13 studentisheaded,thirteen years of<br />
schooling has been aride for all, and Jack noted they had make it through<br />
and are ready for the sequel; all on their own paths –whether university,<br />
apprenticeship,orfull-time work.<br />
Forall thatmay be forgotten, Jack reminded students thatnow is ‘our time,<br />
keep going’.<br />
Jack concluded withsome wordsfromhis‘best friend Taylor Swift’!’So make<br />
the friendship bracelets,take themomentand tasteit. You’ve no reason to<br />
be afraid.You’reonyour own, kid. Yeah, youcan facethis.’<br />
Guest Speaker –HayleyWhiting<br />
It was our very real pleasure to<br />
introduceHayley Whiting as our guest<br />
speaker forthis evening.<br />
Hayley is a former College student<br />
who, this year, represented New<br />
Zealand at the Birmingham <strong>2022</strong><br />
Commonwealth Games in her chosen<br />
sportofweightlifting.<br />
Hayley’s story included what is<br />
required to achieve highly, rather<br />
than just achieving well, and what it<br />
takes to respond to pressure.<br />
Hayley introduced herself as a<br />
proud Mid Canterbury and former<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>College wahine,feeling greathonour at being asked to speakto<br />
those who sit whereshe oncesat.<br />
Hayley did ask what she had to add, what value did she bring, and<br />
determined her value as being in sharing her story. Thestory of having big<br />
goals,following her heart, being sensible,taking risks,being brave,ensuring<br />
she had strong supporters and working hard toprove to herself that she<br />
could be great.<br />
Hayley outlined her history in<strong>Ashburton</strong> through to graduating with a<br />
Bachelor of Physiotherapyin2014,being based in Christchurch in 2019 when<br />
she relocated toher current home in MtMaunganui where she has been a<br />
self-employed physiotherapist for the last two years. Hayley highlighted<br />
her <strong>Ashburton</strong>College experienceasone she will alwaystreasure, saying it<br />
prepared her academically for progressing through university and into her<br />
chosen career, taught her many resilience and hard work lessons through<br />
both academic and sporting pathways. Abreak from sport ensued while<br />
at university asshe chose to focus on studies and enjoying the university<br />
experience.<br />
From 2013 she began somecasual training and cross-fit exercise.Moving to<br />
Christchurch in 2014 was when the love for weightlifting really took hold,<br />
despiteitbeing abrutal sport. Training forapproximately 15 hours per week,<br />
all year, year after year, leads into two ormaybe three big competitions a<br />
year –amaximum of six minutes on stage, and three chances only at each<br />
discipline: the Snatch, Clean and Jerk.<br />
Hayley then outlined her various selections,the firstfor aNew Zealandteam<br />
being at the end of2016, having ‘hit’AGrade and being eligible for New<br />
Zealand team qualification, competing forNew Zealand forthe first time in<br />
March2017 inMelbourne.<br />
Significantly,competitors had to fully fund their uniformand travel.Hayley<br />
tellingly noted –‘enter here the endless support ofher parents, family and<br />
community’.<br />
However, success is seldom linear, and Hayley outlined very honestly the<br />
times of under-performing and what this requires from an athlete. Her<br />
first telling event was at her second New Zealand national championships<br />
in September 2017 where she missed all her snatches and was out of the<br />
competition. Devastation wasdescribed as an ‘understatement’.<br />
Events were to follow, with some misses and some close outcomes on a<br />
thirdattempt,and some placings; and being ruledineligible forthe Oceania<br />
Championships in New Caledonia due to her log whereabouts not being<br />
updated. Drug testers can and do turnuptoanathletes house to bloodand<br />
urine test at 5:00am.<br />
However, with family support, it was decided to attend this trip as part of<br />
the team and with qualification standards within weightlifting New Zealand<br />
increasing, Hayley saw this as maybe alast chance tobeapart ofthe high<br />
performanceenvironment.<br />
This trip changed the trajectory of her weightlifting career due to sitting<br />
on the plane beside Ray, who was to become her coach. He asked many<br />
searching questions of her during the flight, all related togoals, standards<br />
andreasons fornot aiming higher.<br />
From this arose lessons we can all learn from. Hayley realised since, that it<br />
seemed easier and safer to set the success ceiling low and touch it easily,<br />
rather than set it high and risk never touching it. Essentially, she said, she<br />
had limited herself by setting the ceiling low.<br />
2018 and 2019 broughtdevelopment, both in strength and belief gains,and<br />
SilverMedal in the Snatchatthe Pacific games,but missing her three Clean<br />
and Jerks. Nationals thatyear broughtawin, but Rayand Hayley reviewed<br />
and decided that getting to the Commonwealth Games was going to<br />
requiresomechanges.<br />
Here came the reminder quote from Albert Einstein, being ‘the definition<br />
of insanity isdoing the same thing over and over and expecting different<br />
results’.<br />
Courageously, Hayley made some huge changes professionally and<br />
personally and movedtoMtMaunganui forJanuary2020 to anew city, new<br />
lifestyle and in-personcoaching.Despite some wobbles,inMay 2021 Hayley<br />
had personal best numbers and in July 2021 broke her first New Zealand<br />
record. COVID also impactedhowever, on competitions with February<strong>2022</strong><br />
bringing one competition only for lifters to qualify for the Commonwealth<br />
Games.<br />
At 29, she beat her arch-rival for the first time in her career, broke the New<br />
Zealand Clean and Jerkrecordagain,and the New Zealand record total and<br />
qualified forthe Commonwealth Games with 98/125 and 1kg morethan her<br />
key competitor.She said ‘I did it.Wedid it.Itwas worthit’.<br />
Again, Hayley givesussome valuable advice, highlighting –‘so manytimes<br />
in thatprocess it would have beeneasier to stop,playitsafe, pretend Ihad<br />
givenitmyall’.<br />
Idobelievethatthe saying ‘everything youeverwantedisonthe other side of<br />
fear’,isabsolutely on the money.<br />
Again, at the Commonwealth Games,lifeofferedanother lesson. Hayley said<br />
she learned youactually have to go and get up on thatreally big stage!<br />
Her summary was that she ‘placed 5th at the Commonwealth Games with<br />
aperformancewell under my best. Iamnot satisfied,but Iamproud of my<br />
determination, bravery andstaying powerwhich nowstands me foreveras<br />
aCommonwealth Games athlete’.<br />
Publicly she has said she is still not done. Her internal drivetopush formore<br />
than whatisperceived is huge,with the 2026 Commonwealth Games and a<br />
medal being the goal.<br />
As sheconcluded, she observedthat, throughout theselast few years of her life<br />
acouple of thingshavesat with her and pushed her toward her purpose,being:<br />
• It’sonlywhen yourisk failurethatyou discoveryour fullest potential,and -<br />
• Bewho youwerecreated to be and youwill set the world on fire<br />
To students she recommended –‘As you navigate your life post-high school,<br />
Iurgeyou to choose the path thatreally lights youonfire, apaththattruly<br />
fulfils you. If youdonot know,thatisoktoo -take your time,have fun, give<br />
yourself permission to figure it out’.<br />
Hayley covered many options thatthe future could be,orwhatthe priorities<br />
could be, but over-riding all of it should always be about prioritising<br />
happiness and seeking growth, while also knowing it takes some hardwork.<br />
Hayley said that‘Istand here tonight and Iamapartner, daughter, sister,<br />
friend, business owner, Commonwealth Games athlete, and agirl proudly<br />
from the mighty Ash Vegas. Iget up every day and choose to follow my<br />
passion, Ichoose to work hard, to not settle and to be great.<br />
Isincerely look forward towhat greatness evolves as you all take the next<br />
step in your lives’.<br />

Driver licencecourse needs helpers<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> College is looking for<br />
volunteer drivers to sit alongside<br />
students working towards their<br />
restricted driver’s licence.<br />
The volunteers, who must hold a full<br />
licence, arebeingasked to give twohours<br />
aweektohelp seniorstudentsmove from<br />
beinglearner driverstorestricteddrivers,<br />
and principal Ross Preece says it will be<br />
life-changing formany.<br />
“There is acar supplied so the only thing<br />
we are asking for istime, because we<br />
knowthatbeing able to drivelegallyhelps<br />
our students get jobs and become good<br />
membersofour community.”<br />
The college has fundingfromthe Ministry<br />
for Social Development to pilot adriving<br />
programme thatwill be rolled out around<br />
New Zealand ifitissuccessful. All senior<br />
students who have held their learner<br />
licence for five months can apply todo<br />
the 12-week programme –they will be<br />
matched with amentor whowill drivewith<br />
them twiceaweek until theyare readyto<br />
sit their restrictedlicence.<br />
Salvation Army is delivering the course<br />
and instructor Heather Daly will ride<br />
alongonceamonth to monitor the young<br />
driver’s progress. She will undertake a<br />
mock test before the learner driver signs<br />
up forthe restrictedtest.<br />
Mr Preece said young people needed to<br />
practise driving after theyget their learner<br />
licence, but it was hard if there was no<br />
access to avehicle, if there was no fullylicenseddriver<br />
available to sit alongthem,<br />
orifhousehold funds could notstretch to<br />
coverthe cost of petrol for practicedrives,<br />
or the cost of the test itself.<br />
“Weare finding thatthe sixmentor drivers<br />

This week we also hope to hear some<br />
good news from Waka Kotahi about<br />
the re-opening of the WalnutAvenue<br />

Our young driverstoo needsupport<br />
“Thesad thingisthatwehaveseven other<br />

no volunteers toride with them. We’re<br />
hoping retired folk or businesseskeenfor<br />

The car, whichisstoredatthe college,will<br />
be available from 7.30am until 7.30pm in<br />
the summer, and from 9am until 6pm in<br />
the winter.<br />
Mr Preece said the college washoping to<br />
start the new school year with adecent<br />
number of both learner drivers and<br />
mentor drivers.<br />
“Potentially we will have 260 students in<br />
Year 12 andtobeabletoequipthem with<br />
arestricted licence, orhelp them move<br />
from arestrictedtoafull licence, would be<br />

encourage afew morevolunteers<br />
to help <strong>Ashburton</strong> College students<br />

A12-week programmepairsup<br />

take therestrictedtest, but the college<br />
desperately needs morevolunteersso<br />
thatthe programme cankeepgoing<br />
next year.Ifit’ssuccessful, it will be<br />
rolled out aroundthe country.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> is agoodplacetotry it<br />
because we don’t have public transport<br />
and many jobs requireworkers to<br />
travel, eithertothe place of work or as<br />
part of the job itself. Helping students<br />
gettheir licencesmeans theyare much<br />
morelikely to land ajob andhelp<br />
contributetoour economy.<br />
job.<br />
“Mid Canterbury was chosen to pilot<br />
the programme as we have no public<br />
transport, soitiseven more important<br />
for our young people to be able to drive<br />
safely.”<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Mayor Neil Brown supports<br />
the driver programme and said having a<br />
driver’s licence was important and also<br />
helped remove abarrier to employment.<br />
“I remember learning to drive when I<br />
was ateenager and then teaching my<br />
ownchildren, and it is askill youneed to<br />
practise. Having your restricted licence is<br />
nowalso something thatmanyemployers<br />
look for.<br />
"There are nobarriers now to getting<br />
your licence as they have been removed,<br />
so Iencourage allstudentstotakeupthe<br />
offer.”<br />

Newproperties in<br />
updatedtsunamizones<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> District Council<br />
has released updated tsunami<br />
evacuation zones after scientific<br />
modelling showed new areas that<br />
couldbefloodedinsome worst-case<br />
tsunami scenarios.<br />
The modelling was commissioned by<br />
Environment Canterburyand has already<br />
been completed for many other parts of<br />
Canterbury. In the<strong>Ashburton</strong>District, the<br />
changes arerelatively minor with around<br />
<strong>10</strong> newproperties included in the revised<br />
zones. Settlements such as the South<br />
Rakaia Huts, Lower Hakatere Huts and<br />
NorthRangitataHutswerealready located<br />
withinexisting tsunami evacuation zones.<br />
JaneDonaldson,StrategyandCompliance<br />
Group Manager, said most of the newly<br />
included area is rural land rather than<br />
homes, however the Council still<br />
encourages people who liveorspend time<br />
near the coast to familiarise themselves<br />
withtheupdatedevacuation zones.<br />
“Coastal residents should search for<br />
their address on our website and see if<br />
any of their property is within atsunami<br />
evacuation zone. These events arerare, so<br />
people don’tneedtobealarmed,however<br />
theyshould haveaplan forwhattodoif<br />
theyneedtoevacuate.”<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> District has two tsunami<br />
evacuation zones: red and orange. The<br />
red zone ismost likely tobeaffected by<br />
atsunami and includes estuaries, river<br />
mouths,and beaches whereatsunami of<br />
any size could cause strong currents and<br />
surgesinthe water.<br />
The orange zone is less likely to be<br />
affected byatsunami than the red zone<br />
and includes areas ofland that could be<br />
floodedinalarge tsunami.<br />
Ms Donaldson said that people in the<br />
red and orange zones need toevacuate<br />
immediately if they feel along or strong<br />
earthquake, or receiveanofficial tsunami<br />
warning.<br />
“Our message hasn’t changed, if you feel<br />
an earthquake that islong or strong, get<br />
gone,” she said. “There may not be time<br />
foranofficial warning, so once the shaking<br />
stops, head immediately inland until<br />
you’re outside of the evacuation zones.”<br />
Helen Jack, Senior Scientist - Natural<br />
Hazards at Environment Canterbury,<br />
said the likelihood of atsunami being<br />
created close to <strong>Ashburton</strong>’s coast is<br />
small, and thebiggest tsunami threatsfor<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> District are those created<br />
by large earthquakes on the Hikurangi<br />
or Kermadec subduction zones (to the<br />
east and north ofthe North Island), the<br />
Puysegur subductionzone(to the southof<br />
Fiordland),orbylarge earthquakesoffthe<br />
coasts of CentralorSouth America.<br />
“These tsunami evacuation zones<br />
represent an ‘envelope’ around many<br />
different possible worst-case tsunami<br />
scenarios,” says Ms Jack. “Most tsunamis<br />
will only affectthe beachand river mouth<br />
areas inthe red zone, but occasionally<br />
we may experience alarger tsunami that<br />
could inundate partsofthe orangezone.”<br />
Ms Donaldson said residents in the<br />
affectedareascanexpecttoreceivemore<br />
information in their mailbox shortly and<br />
tsunami evacuation signage at coastal<br />
locations willbeupdated.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Civil Defence Emergency<br />
Management will also work with coastal<br />
communities to update their local<br />
response plans as required.<br />
“Many of our coastal settlements already<br />
have good plans for warning and<br />
protecting theircommunitiesfromnatural<br />
disasters,”she said. “These can include<br />
phonetreesorlocal firesirens,soifyoulive<br />
in one of these areas, makesureyou know<br />
whatyourcommunity hasinplace.”<br />
She says as with other natural hazard<br />
information, the tsunami evacuation<br />
zoneswill be reflectedin Land Information<br />
Memoranda (LIMs).<br />

Rural driving mentors wanted<br />
DANIEL.TOBIN<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
It can be daunting moving to a<br />
new countryand culture,<br />
having the independence to<br />
drive acar on the road is one<br />
way of preventing isolation<br />
and encouraging self reliance.<br />
The Mid Canterbury rural<br />
driver licensingscheme was<br />
createdfive yearsago in a<br />
partnership between Rural<br />
Support Trust and Safer Mid<br />
Canterbury with the goal of<br />
preventingisolation of<br />
migrants in rural<br />
communities.<br />
Rural licensingcoordinator<br />
WendyHewitt said often when<br />
families come over the<br />
husband worksonthe farm<br />
and the wife can get stuck at<br />
home, ‘‘so our main focusis<br />
migrant women in the rural<br />
communities because there is<br />
no one there to help them.’’<br />
The programme caters for<br />
migrants who don't have a<br />
licenceand are new to driving,<br />
or those who have adrivers<br />
licenceinanother countryand<br />
need to pass the New Zealand<br />
drivingtest.<br />
Wendy said the participants<br />
are put through aroad code<br />
course to learn the road rules,<br />
to get alearners licence.<br />
‘‘Then they are matched<br />
with avolunteer driving<br />
mentortodothe driving<br />
practice, teachthem to drive<br />
and also get them up to test<br />
standard.’’<br />
The participants also get<br />
four lessonswith a<br />
professional driving<br />
instructor,‘‘so the bonusiswe<br />
have over a90percent pass<br />
rate, whichisdown to our<br />
really good volunteers and<br />
giving them the four lessons<br />
covers off everything.’’<br />
The service is funded by<br />
variousnational and local<br />
WendyHewit is looking forvolunteer driving mentorsfor migrants.<br />
organisationsincluding,<br />
Advance <strong>Ashburton</strong>, Braided<br />
Rivers Trust, <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
District Council, Community<br />
Trust Mid/South Canterbury<br />
and the LionFoundation.<br />
Wendy said she has acore<br />
group of regular driving<br />
mentors including originals<br />
whowhere there at the start of<br />
the programme five years ago,<br />
but she is on the huntfor more<br />
volunteers.<br />
‘‘We are looking for<br />
volunteerdriving mentors, so<br />
they need to be over 25 with a<br />
full NZ licence that they have<br />
held for two years,orthey can<br />
have aconverted licence if<br />
they have held alicence in<br />
their country of origin for two<br />
years,’’ Wendy said.<br />
Ideally the volunteers take<br />
two lessons aweek, ‘‘but it is<br />
up to what the volunteers can<br />
fit in.’’<br />
The volunteer mentors<br />
undergo atraining session<br />
with the professional<br />
instructor when they start to<br />
bring them up to speed with<br />
the latest road rules.<br />
The student provides the<br />
car but the volunteers need<br />

colleagues in Christchurch and Timaru to<br />
hold these people to account.<br />

reported suspicious activity when they<br />
saw it, Thank you.<br />
“We rely on the public to help stamp out<br />
this offending in our community.<br />
‘‘When someone supplies information,<br />
it helps Police to form apicture of what’s<br />
happening in our communities.<br />
“You may feel the information you have<br />
is not significant, however, it could be the<br />
missing piece of the puzzle Police need to<br />
put offenders before the court.<br />

via <strong>10</strong>5 by phone on online, or<br />
alternatively information can be provided<br />

Pound banknote from a New Zealand<br />
trading bank dated 1932 or before.<br />
Denominations of five pounds and<br />

Collectors Need WarMedals<br />
urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big<br />
demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all<br />
wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the<br />
Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later<br />
Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and<br />
Women first served overseas in the Boer WarinSouth Africa<br />
around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are<br />
needed by the buyers,asareany other Medals from early New<br />
Zealand and the NewZealand Wars.<br />
General service medals from both the First and Second<br />
World Wars will also be purchased, but ascan be imagined<br />
these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group<br />
of medals has any special award for bravery such as the<br />
Military Medal, Military or Flying Cross or other medals for<br />
Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service, these can add<br />
great value toagroup” stated Mr Tony Grant, buyer for John<br />
Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals,<br />
somedating back to early Imperial days,that they arenot sure<br />
what to do with. These arebetter off in the handsofcollectors<br />
who will look after them. We will be happy tolook at any war<br />
medals whatsoever,just bring them in to venues”hesaid.<br />
Old Coins CanToss Up aRarity<br />
n lockdown when you sorted out your drawers and<br />
cupboards you may have come across some old<br />
coins. Youjust never know what rarities may be lurking<br />
there. The advice of Tony Grant from John Bertrand<br />
(Collectables) Ltd is to bring them in to the venues and<br />
have them appraised. “We want to see any old foreign<br />
coin accumulations. Weare quite happy togothrough<br />
your coins on the spot and give you an idea what wecan<br />
pay. You just never know what can turn up. Weare also<br />
particularly keen to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver<br />
Coins for at least <strong>10</strong> times their face value” he said.<br />

“Even though everythingelseis<br />

conscientious decision to not put<br />

Anthea said the variety and<br />
growingnumber oftoys at the<br />

worthwhile with more than 900 toys,<br />

Its time to Light Up Geraldine<br />
Itstimetountangle those stringsofChristmas<br />
lights and dust off your decorations. LightUp<br />
Geraldine isback for <strong>2022</strong> and promises to<br />
add alittle sparkle tothe district during the<br />
festive season.<br />
Light Up Geraldine isthe brainchild of<br />
Ange Blair and Nicky Taylor, who, with the<br />
cancellation of so many events last year, were<br />
finding it hard to getintothe Christmas spirit.<br />
Ange says, It started after the Geraldine<br />
Christmas Paradewas cancelleddue to Covid.<br />
We were all so disappointed -especially our<br />
kids. Afterseeing arural SouthlandChristmas<br />
display competition, we decided to do something<br />
simple at our gates. Then, the next minute,<br />
others were joining in,and we realised wewere<br />
onto awinner.<br />
Thefriends saw an opportunity to make the<br />
townand country twinkle and decided to bring<br />
Light Up Geraldinetolife.Overwhelmedwith<br />
the support the initiative received last year,<br />
they say it was ano-brainer to bring it back<br />
for <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Nicky says, Last year was beyond words;<br />
we couldn't believe how many got on board<br />
considering itwas pretty last minute and we<br />
didnt really knowwhat we were doing.<br />
In 2021there were entriesfromall over the<br />
district, with some displays going the extra<br />
mile and adding interactive experiences or<br />
photo opportunities. The duo were especially<br />
blown away by the Woodbury and Tripp<br />
Settlementcommunities. Angesays,Wewere<br />
pretty proud of their contributions. We are<br />
proudly rural ourselves, so to have the rural<br />
crew support us back by joining in was really<br />
special.<br />
Ange and Nicky say they are grateful for<br />
the support of their local sponsors, which<br />
enablesthem to offer prizes in various categories.<br />
Nicky says, We have lots of categories that<br />
cover both home and workplace, as well as<br />
town and country. We recognise that most<br />
rural displays are solar powered,whichadds<br />
anotherdimensionofdifficultytowork with.<br />
With entries now open, they are looking<br />
forward to evenmore people taking partthis<br />
year. Ange says, Its heart-warming tosee<br />
everyone donating their time and energy to<br />
spread Christmas joy. Wecant wait to see<br />
more homes and businesses get involved,and<br />
the community out and about during the<br />
evenings viewing thedisplays.<br />
Light Up Geraldine entries close on<br />
Wednesday, 7December, withdisplays to be<br />

Hugh and Imanaged a24-hour getaway last week<br />
to take in the opening ofour cousins Lissy and Rudi<br />
Robinson-Coles Wharenui Harikoa exhibition at the<br />
Dowse Art Gallery inLower Hutt. The wharenui project<br />
is crocheted entirely out of neon wool, and includes<br />
pou designed in collaboration with many Kiwi and<br />
international yarn artists. Completion date is set for<br />
Matariki 2023. Its really worth atrip to visit it for reals.<br />
With Hugh focusing on other duties, we welcome<br />
another newreporteronboard: Anna Veaux (you will<br />

on page 6. Sometimes it is usefultoown anewspaper.<br />
We wishthe organisersofthe various components<br />
every success. Like many organisations, last year<br />
Geraldine.nz made the tough call to cancel because<br />
of Covid. Seeing people out and about and doing<br />
things again is great.Aword of caution, though; some<br />
of our local friends have tested positive recently, so<br />
mask-wearing in confinedspaces is to be encouraged.<br />
On page 3, we read about Renee Whites project<br />
to help children identify and manage their feelings.<br />
According to an article in Mondays New Zealand<br />
Herald,titled Why we aresoangry andwhatitmeans<br />
for election year, David Fisher says that the events<br />
of recent years have left some ofusinemotional<br />
overload; New Zealand and the world have seen a<br />
rising tide of anger.MaybeRenee will expandtohelp<br />
big people deal with big emotions.<br />
Once the festival is over, itwont be long until<br />
Christmas. Well done to Ange Blair and Nicky Taylor<br />
for encouraging ustolight upour property for the<br />

Local business helping children<br />
navigate their emotions<br />
Two years ago, Geraldine local Renee White<br />
was anew mum looking for waystonavigate<br />
parenthood andraiseher son to be an emotionally<br />
intelligentand literateyoung man. Sherealised<br />
that she herself had never beentaughthow to<br />
cope with feelings of stress, sadness orgrief<br />
and wanted adifferent path for her son.<br />
Thats when Little People, Big Emotions<br />
was born. Reneebeganrunning asmallbusiness<br />
selling resources for parents, teachers and<br />
professionalstouse with children to helpteach<br />
them emotional intelligence. Renee says,<br />
I wanted to dosomething that would help<br />
support parents, help them connect andfoster<br />
agood relationship with their tamariki,<br />
something that would open the lines of<br />
communication where it was okay tohave<br />
feelingsand to identify,discuss andfind ways<br />
to copewith these.<br />
Shehas designed arangeofproducts,from<br />
posters and feelings cards to positive affirmation<br />
setsthat can be used to create apeacefulplace<br />
(calming corner) for children and adults to<br />
use in place of the traditional time out method.<br />
These productsfocus on the fivekey components<br />
of emotional intelligence and can be used to<br />
identify and namefeelings and provide calming<br />
coping strategies.<br />
Shesays, Itsabout, as asociety, reframing<br />
feelingsfrom good andbad,insteadidentifying<br />
whether they are low or high energy feelings<br />
and if they feel pleasant or unpleasant in our<br />
bodies. Thereare times we are all angry or feel<br />
like crying; these are not bad feelings; they<br />
just feel unpleasant in ourbodies. We need to<br />
be abletoidentify and work through them.<br />
Renee has seen the success of her products<br />
first-handinher son, Eli, whoregularlyengages<br />
with the resources in his own peaceful place.<br />
I seeour productsasalong-term investment<br />
because they will literally give backtoyou your<br />
entire childs life. Having the skills to name<br />
feelings and strategiestocope with them will<br />
hopefully ensure that tamarikiwont be resorting<br />
to drasticmeasures to cope with their emotions.<br />
She is currently studying with the Peaceful<br />
ParentsInstitute to become acertified peaceful<br />
parent coach and educator while raising her<br />
twochildren Eli (3) and Lyra(<strong>10</strong> months), and<br />
runningher businesswhichhas just celebrated<br />
itsfirstanniversary. Renee says,We launched<br />
through the CHOICE website for New Zealand<br />
small businesses ayear ago, and wehad<br />
70 orders inthe first weekend, which then<br />
averaged out to about seven aweek, and we<br />
thought, This is great.But then, just lastweek,<br />
we had over 170 orders from 15different<br />
countries; its incredible to see the growth.<br />
Using mainly social media to promote and<br />
share itsresources, LittlePeople, Big Emotions<br />
nowhas over30,000followers on TikTok,and<br />
Instagram combined. I am super grateful for<br />
thesupport we have received from all over the<br />
worldand the feedback we get fromthose using<br />
our products,says Renee. They are available<br />
in both English and Te Reo, and we have<br />
Spanish, German and French in the pipeline;<br />
every day we are getting more requests for<br />
different languages.<br />
Though there have been many challenges,<br />
such as the risingcostofshipping andjuggling<br />
being amother while running asuccessful<br />
business, Renee says she is overwhelmed by<br />
the success and by the support she has received.<br />
She says, One really special moment was being<br />
able to gift resources to Oranga Tamariki and<br />
Gumboot Friday organisations. People have<br />
seen ourresources and reached out to askhow<br />
they can donate these to children that need<br />
them the most. Knowingweare abletosupport<br />
theseorganisations that are helping our tamariki<br />
andtheirmental well-being is such aprivilege.<br />
There is no slowing down for Renee, who<br />
will complete her studies at the end of the year.<br />
I am looking at running parenting courses,<br />
continuing to create more resources, having<br />
ourproducts stocked in shops and opening a<br />
fulfilment centre in the USA to make our<br />
products accessible to evenmorechildren.The<br />
future islooking busy and bright, which is<br />
terrifying and exciting at the same time.<br />

Artists work inspired by<br />
New ealands dynamic geology<br />
Exhibition<br />
Ao-Terra is the title of thelatest exhibition<br />
at theMcAtamney Gallery. The title gives<br />
acluetoartist Andrew Craigs approach<br />
to landscape painting.The dynamic geology<br />
of our young country, New Zealand,<br />
inspires his paintings which focus on<br />
abstract geological forms.<br />
In an articleinthe 29 Septemberedition<br />
of Art Beat, hesays, The New Zealand<br />
landscape is particularly active where<br />
belligerent tectonic forces continually<br />
shape the land, as do the erosive effects<br />
of aboisterous climate. Consequently,<br />
the land is constantly rising and falling,<br />
particularly in areas where erosion strips<br />
away theland surface, exposing what lies<br />
beneath. It is this interface which interests<br />
me, not only because it tells of our countrys<br />
origins, but, in asense,weasindividuals<br />
are faced with similar contests -for<br />
example, the simultaneous effects of<br />
growth versus decay and restlessness<br />
versus contentment. Similarly, like the<br />
earth, we are subject toforces beyond<br />
ourcontrol. Andwhere theseare exposed,<br />
aterrible beauty oftenfinds expression.<br />
Originally from Taupo, now living in<br />
Christchurch, Andrew says that he has<br />
been interested in art for as long as he<br />
can remember. As ayoung man he was<br />
all set to attendart school, but marriage,<br />
mortgage, and family responsibilities<br />
precluded the required full-time<br />
commitment. He elected to complete an<br />
arthistory degreeinstead. He says on his<br />
website, The craftofpainting Ilearntat<br />
numerous workshops, many of which<br />
were based at the School of Fine Arts<br />
at Ilam. He followed that up with a<br />
postgraduatequalification in landscape<br />
architecture, which hesays pays<br />
the bills.<br />
He was encouraged to paint and to<br />
exhibit his paintings by Christchurch art<br />
patron Philip Carter, among others. His<br />
abstract landscapes are often composed<br />
of different geological features, sometimes<br />
inverted. There is no sky to escape to<br />
andnopeople to giveareference of scale.<br />
Andrew is amused when people claim to<br />
recognise the location of landscapes he<br />
produces, as almost invariably, they are<br />
abstract composites. Recently, people<br />
have claimed to see animals and people<br />
in hiswork. He has therefore begun putting<br />
somesubtle humanforms into the paintings.<br />
He says that he will let Carolyn McAtamney<br />
knowwhere they are, so people cancheck<br />
whether what they see is the product of<br />
their imaginations or the artists.<br />
Ao-Terra runs until 11 December at<br />
McAtamney Gallery,40A Talbot Street.<br />

Whiringa-ā-rangi<br />
Whiringa-ā-rangi -<strong>November</strong><br />
It is hardtobelieve that the marama (month)ofWhiringaā-rangi<br />
is upon us already. <strong>2022</strong> is zooming to a close<br />
at top speed, and we look ahead to the Christmas and<br />
New Year seasons with trepidation. According to the<br />
maramataka (lunar calendar) we are well into the<br />
second phase of summer; the weather is beginning to<br />
warm up, and as the season continues to change,<br />
pōhutukawa flowers across the country will start to<br />
bloom. In some areas, Māori use the colour and size of<br />
the pōhutukawa flower todetermine the readiness of<br />
kaimoana (seafood)for thecatch;when theyare bright<br />
red, the kina (sea urchin) are said to be the most<br />
succulent.<br />
The maramataka, as we have learned, was the<br />
primary method used by early Māori to determine how<br />
andwhentheyinteracted withthe natural environment.<br />
By taking their cues from the environment rather than<br />
sticking to a predetermined schedule, Māori were able<br />
to work in harmony with their food supplies, helping<br />
to maintain thewellbeing of food chains and ecosystems.<br />
In Whiringa-ā-rangi, one key sign they looked for was<br />
the arrivalof tākeke (piper)eggs onshorefor very short<br />
periods of time.<br />
It wasnt for collection that Māori took care to look<br />
forthe arrivalofthese tinyeggs; tākekeare an essential<br />
food supplyfor kahawai, which areasupplyfor kingfish,<br />
which are asupply formarlin, and so on. What seems<br />
to ustobeasmall,irrelevant changeinthe environment<br />
was, to early Māori, acritical sign that the ecosystem<br />
washealthy and replenishing itself.When thisoccurred,<br />
it also informed the people ofaspecific turning tide<br />
that happens in this phase of summer, assisting them<br />
in recognising the changing season too.<br />
The maramataka isextremely specific, just not in<br />
the way weinthe Western world think it should be.<br />
While it lacks specific dates and does not marry with<br />
the Gregorian calendar,itcan be used to trackthe most<br />
specificmovements and changes in the environment.<br />

GPS shines spotlight on melanoma<br />
Reminders about staying safe in the sun<br />
are on point as the UV Index rises with<br />
summers onset. Last week, Melanoma<br />
New Zealands (MNZ)Get Spotted<br />
campaign got behind Geraldine Primary<br />
Schools (GPS) SunSmart work with<br />
messaging, spot-themed clothing, and<br />
UV-detecting wristbands foreveryone.<br />
With the spotted clothing and spots<br />
stuckand daubedonto faces,the children<br />
shone aspotlight on molesand freckles,<br />
which can sometimes be cancerous. They<br />
also raised $906 for MNZ, asum that<br />
school parent and melanoma survivor<br />
Amanda Johnston has pledged to match.<br />
Amanda, also treasurer of MNZ, was<br />
instrumental in bringing Get Spotted to<br />
Geraldine primary. New Zealand has<br />
the worstrate of melanoma in the world.<br />
More people die from skin cancer than<br />
on our roads. However, skin cancer is<br />
unique in that there are active steps we<br />
IN BRIEF<br />
can take to prevent skin cancer, especially<br />
whenweare young: slip, slop, slap,seek,<br />
andslide.<br />
GPSprincipal,Andrew Leverton, says,<br />
The classes have been working on it<br />
across the week, and we talked about<br />
it at assembly. The message is:Everyone<br />
likes being out in the sun, but you should<br />
look after your skin.Its an age-appropriate<br />
campaign.<br />
Amanda explored the five S-words<br />
with the schools Year 6students: slip<br />
on along-sleeved non-transparent shirt,<br />
slop on SPF50+ sunscreen, slap on<br />
abrimmed hat, seek shade,and slide<br />
on sunglasses. She says, Protect your<br />
skin and get your skin checked. Skin<br />
cancer is related to how much UVradiation<br />
you absorb in your lifetime.<br />
Senior syndicate leader Fiona Wilcox<br />
says, With oncoming transitionstonew<br />
schools and with peer pressure, Year 6<br />
can be avulnerable year group. Were<br />
very aware, andwehaveapositiveculture<br />
of hat-wearing. But we know that it can<br />
become optional when they go to other<br />
schools. We want them to carry themessage<br />
through. Peer pressure is tough. If they<br />
think wearing ahat and sunscreen is<br />
cool, theyll do it. We want them to know<br />
its cool.<br />
Amandasays, A doctor oncereferred<br />
to my skin as aticking time bomb. This<br />
memoryhaunts me every timeIwalkinto<br />
the sun. Could Ihave done more when<br />
Iwas younger? Undoubtedly, yes. Iwant<br />
our young people to be informed, to live<br />
their best lives and to ultimately save<br />
lives from skin cancer.<br />

At our well-attended 25 October<br />
meeting, we were delighted to have<br />
local 15-year-old race car driver<br />
Jacob Cunniffe speak to us.<br />
Jacob is aGrass Kart, Speedway<br />
and Formula Firsts racer whose racing<br />
journey began when he was four years<br />
old. During his 11 years of racing, hehas<br />
won many titles, including Speedway<br />

Jacob is extremely passionate<br />
about his sport and thankful tohis<br />
family and sponsors (some ofwhom<br />
are Rotary members). One sponsor,<br />
Timaru Signs and Graphics, provides<br />
his car wrap for free. It was inspiring<br />
to hear ayoung man talk about his<br />
role models, share his journey and be<br />
grateful for the help he has received.<br />
Well done, Jacob.<br />

On Saturday, 29October, we<br />
took seven local children ona<br />
Dream Day Out, aday planned<br />
by Rotary tointroduce them to<br />
experiences that might broaden<br />
their outlook and give them the<br />
courage to try new activities<br />
outside their comfort zone,<br />
now and in the future.<br />
The day began at Simon<br />
Pemberton’s airstrip with aflight<br />
around Geraldine and Temuka.<br />
Having seen their home from the air,<br />
the children disembarked with big<br />
smiles on their faces, chatting nonstop<br />
about their adventure.<br />
Geraldine Cheese Company was<br />
the next stop; cheesemaking and<br />
tasting with lots of questions, and<br />
more smiles when owner Paul<br />
Fitzsimons brought out the ice<br />
cream. Then across the road to<br />
Barker’s Foodstore and Eatery,<br />
where the children enjoyed trying<br />
out the different fruit syrups; cola<br />
was voted the best.<br />
Feeling refreshed, we piled in the<br />
van for adrive to Alistair and Debbie<br />
Millar’s farm Clandeboye. Debbie’s<br />
dog rounding up the sheep<br />
provided much entertainment<br />
before watching the machinations<br />
of combine harvesters, tractors,<br />
sprayers and adigger as apile of<br />
lime was tomaneuvered from one<br />
spot to another.<br />
Time for alate lunch at<br />
Mes Amis Café in Ōrari (with<br />
asession of mini golf) before<br />
heading out to Riding for the<br />
Disabled, where the children rode<br />
the horses. At first, there was an<br />
atmosphere of excitement mixed<br />
with hesitancy, but by the end of the<br />
session, all had big smiles and had<br />
made friends with the horses.<br />
At the end of the day, the happy<br />
(but maybe alittle tired) children<br />
each received abag of goodies.<br />
We thank our generous sponsors<br />
and helpers who made the<br />
Dream Day Out possible.<br />

Collectors Need WarMedals<br />
urrently, throughout NZ and the world there is a big<br />
demand by collectors for war medals. These cover all<br />
wars right through from the New Zealand Land Wars and the<br />
Boer War, to the First and Second World Wars and the later<br />
Korea and Vietnam conflicts. New Zealand Servicemen and<br />
Women first served overseas inthe Boer WarinSouth Africa<br />
around 1900 and the war medals awarded for this service are<br />
needed by thebuyers,asare any otherMedals from earlyNew<br />
Zealand and the NewZealand Wars.<br />
General service medals from both the First and Second<br />
World Wars will also be purchased, but as can be imagined<br />
these were awarded in fairly large numbers. “If a group<br />
of medals has any special award for bravery such as the<br />
Military Medal, Military orFlying Cross or other medals for<br />
Distinguished Conduct or Meritorious Service,these can add<br />
great value to agroup” stated MrTony Grant, buyer for John<br />
Bertrand (Collectables) Ltd. “Many families have old medals,<br />
some datingback to early Imperial days,thatthey arenot sure<br />
what to do with. These arebetter off in the hands of collectors<br />
who will look after them.Wewill be happy tolook at any war<br />
medals whatsoever,justbring them in to venues”hesaid.<br />
OldCoins CanToss Up aRarity<br />
n lockdown when you sorted out your drawers and<br />
cupboards you may have come across some old<br />
coins. Youjust never know what rarities may belurking<br />
there. The advice of Tony Grant from John Bertrand<br />
(Collectables) Ltd is to bring them in to the venues and<br />
have them appraised. “We want tosee any old foreign<br />
coin accumulations. Weare quite happy togothrough<br />
your coins on the spot and give you an idea what we can<br />
pay. You just never know what can turn up. We are also<br />
particularly keen to buy pre 1946 New Zealand Silver<br />
Coins for at least <strong>10</strong>times their face value” hesaid.<br />

Pavilion ownership transfers<br />
to Geraldine Croquet Club<br />
On Wednesday,26October, theGeraldine<br />
Croquet Club hosted representatives of<br />
the Geraldine Combined Hockey Club<br />
for aspecial occasion: the handing over<br />
of the key to the old hockey pavilion to<br />
its new owners, the croquet club.<br />
Speaking onbehalf of the club,<br />
Peter McAuliffe says, The Geraldine<br />
Croquet Club has been working with<br />
Geraldine Combined Hockey Club and<br />
is pleased to confirm that ownership of<br />
the pavilion has been transferred to<br />
Geraldine Croquet Club. The croquetclub<br />
appreciates the significanceofthe building,<br />
which opened on 22 October, 1923 as a<br />
memorial to theeight hockey club members<br />
who died in World War I.Amemorial<br />
plaque sitsabovethe door,intheir honour.<br />
Hockey club presidentMeg Catherwood,<br />
on passing over the key to croquet club<br />
president Sue Hutchins, says, We are<br />
thrilled to hand over the building to the<br />
croquet club, and we wish to thank them<br />
for the careand attention they havegiven<br />
the building over the last20years ... they<br />
have made many improvements to both<br />
the pavilion and surrounding area.<br />
Karen OKane, hockey club youth<br />
delegate, has been liaising with the croquet<br />
club and knows the pavilion is in safe<br />
hands. She says, The Geraldine Croquet<br />
Club realises the significance of the<br />
building,and we knowthey will preserve<br />
the heritage and history behind it. We<br />
discussed thesalewithour life members<br />
to reassure them that its history will be<br />
preserved. The time was right to let the<br />
croquet club continue with the pavilion<br />
as their own.<br />
Peter says, Next year willbethe <strong>10</strong>0th<br />
anniversary of the pavilion, so celebrations<br />
will be planned to mark this event. The<br />
hockey club is arranging to have ahistorical<br />
information board mounted outside the<br />
pavilion and looksforward to celebrating<br />
the anniversary with us.<br />
Croquet has been playedinand around<br />
Geraldine for over <strong>10</strong>0 years, and itis<br />
great we nowhave ourpermanenthome<br />
alongsideour groundsthat we canplay<br />
on all year round. This is great for the<br />
future of croquet in Geraldine.<br />
An extract from the book 150 years<br />
of Geraldine reads, The early fortunes<br />
of the Geraldine Croquet Club were in<br />
the hands of Mrs Hislop, the inaugural<br />
president in 1911. Some of the original<br />
members were Mesdames WA Sherratt,<br />
Donald MacDonald and JP Cliff.<br />
Two foundation members, Mr and Mrs<br />
WHKirk, gainedNew Zealand honours.<br />
By 1927 the membership had grown to<br />
40, and games were played against Temuka<br />
and Timaru clubs, though the club was<br />
affiliated to the Christchurch Croquet<br />
Association.<br />
One of the croquet clubs foundation<br />
members, 95-year-oldMarjory Matheson,<br />
attended the celebrationsand was excited<br />
to see it still going strong. She says,<br />
I played croquet for many, many years,<br />
and Iremember right back at the start<br />
using this wonderful pavilion. Ihave a<br />
lotofmemories, and Iloved everymoment<br />
of it. The club hasdone alot of hardwork<br />
keeping the pavilion and lawns looking<br />
lovely.<br />
The Geraldine Croquet Club always<br />
welcomes new members. If you want to<br />
trycroquet,turn up at the croquetlawns,<br />
just off Huffey Street on aWednesday<br />

You know youre heading into the best<br />
timeofthe yearwhen Peelcamp is open,<br />
says GeraldineDepartmentofConservation<br />

now. Peel Forest Campground is all go,<br />
and Chris recentlywelcomed Brian and<br />
Margaret Tannerasthe <strong>2022</strong>-2023seasons<br />
first camp hosts.<br />
Having the Oamaru couple as summer<br />
hosts is part of anew approach to hosting.<br />
Chris says, Therellbethreesets of camp<br />
hosts doing two months each to cover<br />
the season.<br />
Hosts rolesincludewelcoming campers,<br />
being apoint of contact, checking that<br />

about local activities, and keeping an eye<br />
on camp maintenance needs.<br />
Brian, who has managed Peel Forest<br />
Campground as wellascommercial and<br />
other local conservation campsites with<br />
Margaret, says hes repeatedly drawn<br />
back to the camp. Its the walks, and the<br />
facilities, and the birds -the birdsong<br />
morning and night. Margaret says the<br />
grounds,shelteredbymature podocarps,<br />
are amajor drawcard, especially for<br />
families. She says, Theyresoopen, and<br />
thesites are so big.The children can ride<br />
their bikes.<br />
For many guests, amainattraction is<br />
the proximity of walks in Peel Forest<br />
Park Scenic Reserve, including to the<br />
1,311-metre Little Mount Peel summit.<br />
Chris says, A big thing is having the<br />
tracks at your doorstep.You walk out of<br />
the camp with your tramping boots on.<br />

Woodbury golf tournament<br />

Thesun was shining,and the skies were<br />
clear for the Woodbury School Ambrose<br />
Golf Tournament Fundraiser held on<br />
Sunday,23October,atGeraldines Grand<br />
Vue golf courseand organised by Woodbury<br />
School Support Group.<br />
Due to unease around Covid restrictions<br />
earlier this year, the decision was made<br />
to hold off on the Woodbury HillCountry<br />
Challenge for <strong>2022</strong>, meaningthe support<br />
group werelooking for something to fill<br />
the gap.<br />
Year 2-3 teacherBronwyn Patrick put<br />
her hand up to take charge of the event,<br />
along with adedicated team of parents.<br />
WoodburySchoolPrincipal MikedeJoux<br />
says, Weare incredibly fortunatetohave<br />
acommitted staff membersuchasBronwyn<br />
to put an event like this together, spending<br />
alarge amount of her own time organising<br />
donations, arranging foodand alsolining<br />
up parentstohelp out on theday. As with<br />
all our events, we had alarge number of<br />
parents turnout to support the school,<br />
primarily inthe kitchen, making sure<br />
everyone waswell fed.<br />
Bronwyn says she was happywithhow<br />
the day ran. There was agreat turnout<br />
on the day with 14 teams of five players<br />
taking part. Teams included amix of<br />
school whānau, local golfers and those<br />
visiting for the day. It was great to see<br />
people getting in the spirit by dressing<br />
up and enjoying golf in thesun.<br />
Wewere overwhelmed by thesupport<br />
from both the school and the local<br />
community. In particular, Fresh Choice,<br />
who gave us their monthly community<br />
grant towards catering, Barkers of<br />
Geraldine, and Geraldine Butchery,who<br />
continually supports Woodbury School<br />
-inthisinstance, providing sausagesfor<br />
the barbecue and meat packs for prizes<br />
and raffles.<br />
Woodbury School students were also<br />
on hand to help with the running of the<br />
event; from decorating prize bags to<br />
helping on the barbecue topresenting<br />
prizes to winners at the end of the day.<br />
Mike calledthe day asuccess,saying, All<br />
money raised will go towards further<br />
equipment resources for the children,<br />
whichotherwise we wouldnot be able to<br />
provide. BECKY TALBOT<br />

Arts in the spotlight<br />
The arts hold aspecial place inmyheart. In my<br />
younger years, Idid some acting and television work;<br />
in fact, my first professional acting gig was with a<br />
touringchildrens theatrecompanywherewevisited<br />
schools in remotecommunities. Im afirm believer<br />
in the value of music and theatre toall.<br />
Readersmay be familiar with therecentcontroversy<br />
surroundingCreativeNew Zealandsdecision to cut<br />
funding to the annual Sheilah Winn Shakespeare<br />
Festival. While that move made headlines around<br />
the world, theres another funding stoush that Id<br />
like to address.<br />
Many local people will be familiar with Arts on<br />
Tour NewZealand (AoTNZ) and may be awarethat<br />
their funding arrangement with Creative New<br />
Zealand -aCrown entity-has changed, putting its<br />
future atrisk. Ive received messages from people<br />
in Geraldine and further afieldfor whom this change<br />
has come as ashock and massive disappointment.<br />
The Geraldine Community Arts Councilhas done<br />
afantastic job in bringing dozens ofAoTNZ acts<br />
here over the years, and Iknow this change has<br />
caused alot of upset. Ive askedthe prime ministers<br />
office to lookintothe situation surrounding Creative<br />
New Zealand and await areply.<br />
Of course, AoTNZ is not the only option available<br />
to small towns. Geraldine isblessed with agood<br />
number of talentedlocal peoplewho love to perform<br />
for their fellow community members. Whether it's<br />
musical performances or plays, Geraldine has put<br />
on some classicsoverthe years.Itsnot easyputting<br />
together ashoworevent in regional NewZealand,<br />
itsincredibly time-consuming, and the cost canbe<br />
prohibitive. Its different to big cities where people<br />
havesomanyoptions available to them, and event<br />
organisers have afar larger number ofpeople to<br />
appeal to.<br />
Ihopeasolution canbefound that allowsAoTNZ<br />
to continue with greater certainty and with the<br />
ability to bring acts toGeraldine for many years<br />
to come.

Winchester Rodeo rides again<br />
The skies were blue, and the dust was<br />
flying asalarge crowd cheered on the<br />
cowboysand cowgirlsatthe 51st Winchester<br />
Rodeo held on Saturday, 22October.<br />
After Covid-19 restrictions forced first<br />
the postponement and then the<br />
cancellation of the rodeo last year, the<br />
Winchester Rodeo Club has worked<br />
tirelessly to ensure this years event would<br />
go ahead.<br />
With 25 members from the local<br />
community, the club meets monthly,<br />
more frequently in the lead-up to the big<br />
day. Holding numerous working bees at<br />
the arena and grounds to get them in<br />
order, the club members areall volunteers<br />
who saythey do it for the love of the sport<br />
and to provide alocal event. The club is<br />
well supported by local businesses that<br />
make the day possible through their<br />
ongoing sponsorship.<br />
Media manager Gemma Oliver says,<br />
Theyre the real stars here, and we are<br />
incredibly grateful fortheir support. She<br />
says she was pleased with the turnout at<br />
Saturdays event, with high numbers of<br />
both competitors andspectators.There<br />
were327 competitorsin18events, which<br />
shows how the sport is growing across<br />
the country. In terms of the crowd, the<br />
banks were full early inthe day, with<br />
between 2,500-3,000people. Theweather<br />
was perfect, which always helps, but<br />
Ialsothinkpeople wereexcitedtobeable<br />
to attend the rodeo again.<br />
With competitors travelling from<br />
around the country to compete, the club<br />
wasexcited that someentrants, whohave<br />
recently been competing inthe USA<br />
and Canada, travelled back home to<br />
New Zealand to participate in the<br />
Winchester event.<br />
Gemma says she was particularly<br />
excited for the Winchester Club to hold<br />
their inaugural womens breakaway<br />
roping competition,aneventshowcasing<br />
the riders abilitytocatch acattle beast.<br />
The rope is attached to the saddle horn<br />
by athinpiece of cotton string designed<br />
to break away whenthe beast reaches the<br />
end of the rope, meaningthere is no actual<br />
stopping of the animal. The timer stops<br />
when the string breaks, and the fastest<br />
time wins.<br />
The event was won by Geraldine<br />
competitor and mother of three,<br />
Kate Haugh, of Woodbury, on her horse<br />
Cinch. She also placed second in the<br />
openbarrel raceatMethven Rodeo, held<br />
on Sunday, 23October. Husband Ben<br />
placed fourth in the rope-and-tie on both<br />
days, and second atWinchester in the<br />
mens team roping. Their daughters Bianca<br />
and Hannah also competed in events at<br />
both rodeos, making it ahectic and<br />
successful weekend for thislocal family.<br />
Winchester andMethven arethe first<br />
rodeos of the season. The next stop on<br />
the circuit is the Christmas run, with<br />
Millers Flat on Boxing Day, followed by<br />
Omarama, Te Anau,Waikouaiti, Wanaka<br />
and Canterbury in the same week. The<br />
next South Canterbury event is the<br />
Waimate Rodeo on 25 February, 2023.<br />

PaulMcFall has been with Land<br />
Search and Rescue for 25 years, and<br />
worksclosely with local authorities to<br />
coordinate local searches and<br />
regional trainingevents.<br />
He cautions Cantabrians to be<br />
smartwhen venturing into their<br />
backyard, ‘‘Ifthey are going for awalk<br />
or tramp, tell someonewhere they<br />
aregoing, plan the walk or tramp,<br />
have adequate food and clothing and<br />
have two forms of communication.’’<br />
Paul is the LandSAR chairperson<br />
forthe Canterbury region,which<br />
ranges fromHanmer Springs to the<br />
Mackenzie valley.<br />
He recognisesthe challenges that<br />
Canterbury’s diverse landscapes<br />
pose to both outdoor enthusiasts and<br />
SARvolunteers, saying it takeshours<br />
to train volunteers ‘‘to ahigh<br />
standard to be able to search in all<br />
thevast landscapesinCanterbury...<br />
beaches, flat land, rugged terrain,<br />
suburban and alpine environments.’’<br />
He said he finds satisfaction in<br />
volunteering for his community, and<br />
that ‘‘it is enjoyable working with like<br />
mindedpeople throughoutthe<br />
country.’’<br />
LandSARvolunteers operate in<br />
urban, suburban, coastal,rural,<br />
mountain, and wilderness<br />
environments, and trainthroughout<br />
theyear to equipthemselveswith<br />
skills in everything from first aid to<br />
radio communications, stretcher<br />
management, rope work, and river<br />
crossings.<br />

‘‘Luckily for New Zealand, the<br />
LandSAR volunteers arehugely<br />

There is always aneedfor more<br />

learn more about how they can get<br />
outdoors and helptheir communities<br />
should visit www.landsar.org.nz or<br />
get in touch with alocal base to<br />
attendone of their meetings.<br />
The land safety code offers five simple<br />
guidelines to help you stay safe if you<br />
plan on going into the outdoors.<br />
1. Choose the right trip for you.<br />
2. Understand the weather.<br />
3. Pack warm clothes and extra food.<br />
4. Share your plans and take ways to<br />
get help.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Dahlia Circle<br />
It was fantastic to seesomany<br />
people at the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Dahlia<br />
Circle's October meeting. Dahlias are<br />
growing in popularity and so, too, is<br />
our circle. We are very fortunate to<br />
have knowledgeable dahlia growers<br />
like Joyce to assistnovice growers.<br />
Joyce has 40+ yearsofexperience in<br />
growing dahlias,and her willingness<br />
to share her tipsand adviceis<br />
priceless for those new to growing<br />
these special plants. The October<br />
meeting was jam packed with<br />
information for keen dahlia growers.<br />
Joyce began by talking to members<br />
about gall and what to look for and<br />
how to deal with it.<br />
Those present for the workshop<br />
received ahandout to take home as<br />
aquickguide. Joyce discussed how<br />
she takes cuttings and pots them up,<br />
and also brought along some of last<br />
year's cuttings to show in her<br />
demonstration,<br />
which had formed magnificent<br />
tubers since being potted up. This<br />
was followed up by tips on how to<br />
plant and tendtonewly planted<br />
tubers.<br />
Later, Joyce had afun dahlia game<br />
where all members participated and<br />
went homewith showdahlias to<br />
grow. Everyone was most<br />
appreciative of Joyce'sknowledge<br />
and generosity.<br />
Ahuge thank you to you, Joyce, for<br />
being so generous with yourtime and<br />
knowledge. The <strong>Ashburton</strong>Dahlia<br />
Circleislucky to have you.<br />
Labour Weekend saw the Circle's<br />
annual tuber sale fundraiser take<br />
place, which was aroaring success.<br />
We would like to thank everyone who<br />
donated tubers for the sale, and to all<br />

tubers from us. We hope you'll come<br />

next meeting is our annualChristmas<br />
Dinner and Rose Show.<br />
Thisis alwaysahighlight of the<br />
Dahlia Circle calendar and a<br />

It’s the season of fun! Officially we<br />
are still in spring but we have had<br />
some mega warm days heading into<br />
undoubtedly, the best season of the<br />
year.<br />
Summer is spent having fun, living<br />
outdoors and while for most of us<br />
it’s the favourite season, summer<br />
activities can wreak havoc onyour<br />
hair.<br />
As we starttoenjoy and partake in the<br />
endless fun, take aquick moment to<br />
brush up on some hot and essential<br />
tips to help youand your hair make it<br />
through the summer.<br />
Avoid excessive heat<br />
When its already so hot outside,<br />
adding extra heat isn’t always agreat<br />
idea. Airdrying where possible and<br />
trying to keep hot tool styling to a<br />
minimum. Summer is aperfect time<br />
to start embracing natural texture,<br />

We buy SPF products for our skin,<br />
why would we not add some sort of<br />
barrier to protect our hair? While sun<br />
damage is morelikely forpeople with<br />
fine and or lighter hair –everyone is<br />
prone to sun damaged hair and the<br />
best waytohelp protectand prevent<br />
is to add abarrier between our hair<br />
and NZ’sdamaging sun.<br />
The best way is a direct barrier; a<br />
hat, bandana or scarf. There are also<br />
arange of SPF products specifically<br />
designed forhair.<br />
We love and recommend our Keune<br />
Sun Shield range.Try to avoid the sun<br />
when we reach the hottest partofthe<br />
day. Youdon’t completely avoid the<br />
sun keeping your hair away from the<br />
sun when its at its most harmful can<br />
help minimise damage.<br />
Keep it loose<br />
As much as ‘beachy waves’ are a<br />
summer staple look it is also super<br />
helpful in caring for your hair and<br />
preventing damage in the heat.<br />
In thesun, hair gets dryand damaged<br />
and over time if not cared forcorrectly<br />
ends in breakage.<br />
Keeping hair in looser styles takes<br />
some of the strain off especially at the<br />
tension pointwhereyour hair tie sits.<br />
‘‘<br />
Summer is spenthaving<br />
fun, living outdoors and<br />
while formostofusit’s<br />
the favouriteseason,<br />
summer activities can<br />
wreak havoconyour hair.<br />
’’<br />
When swimming<br />
Wearing a cap is not everyone’s<br />
cup of tea, so before you head out<br />
swimming give your hair aquick rinse<br />
with cold water and aconditioner.The<br />
cold water closes off your hair cuticle<br />
keeping absorption to a minimum<br />
and conditioner acts as a barrier<br />
against potentially damaging water.<br />
Make sure you give it a rinse or<br />
light flat handed wash afterwards.<br />
Make sure you have asoft piece of<br />
clothing or microfibre towel to dry<br />
hair off afterwards instead of abeach<br />
towel, apply aleave-in conditioner/<br />
treatment and use atangle teaser or<br />
wide tooth comb to brush after itis<br />
towel dried.<br />
Don’t rip hair ties out and get stuck<br />
into anytangles createdbythe water<br />
-hair is in its most fragile state when<br />
its wet sobrushing and ripping hair<br />
ties out stretches the hair causing it<br />
to be incredibly weak and sometimes<br />
immediate breakage.<br />
Add in a moisturising treatment<br />
to your night time regime after a<br />
day’s swimming to replenish some<br />
moisturethatmay have been lost.<br />
Shampooing<br />
As tempting as it is to wash probably<br />
more often than usual, try to do the<br />
opposite. Hair has many natural oils<br />
thathair desperately needs especially<br />
in the summer. Every time you<br />
shampoo, you are stripping your hair<br />
of these natural oils.<br />
Extend days between shampooing by<br />
using adry shampoo and conditioner<br />
to absorb any excess oils. Ifyou find<br />
even this impossible, switch to a<br />
mild/ daily shampoo which is gentler<br />
on hair and scalp and scrub (gently)<br />
just the scalp and let the suds rinse<br />
through the rest. This keeps dryness<br />
to aminimum.<br />

Land use change likely in 2040s<br />
Water use consent, and dairy shed<br />
renewalsdue inthe early2040s may be a<br />
catalyst forland usechange in Mid<br />
Canterbury, according to Our Land and<br />
Water researchers.<br />
Our Land and Water (Toitū te Whenua,<br />
Toiora te Wai)isone of 11 National<br />
Science Challenges focusedondefined<br />
issues of national importance identified<br />
by the NewZealandpublic.<br />
Areport,recently released by<br />
researchers and led by <strong>Ashburton</strong> District<br />
Council agriculture portfolio advisor<br />
Richard Fitzgerald,foundaround 40<br />
percent of all dairymilking sheds in the<br />
district were built between 2007 and 2015,<br />
according to resourceconsents.<br />
Based on life projections for adairy<br />
shed, 230 sheds will reach the end of their<br />
economic life between 2040 and 2048 <br />
meaning nearlyhalf of all dairy sheds are<br />
likely to need replacing.<br />
Researchers foundfarmersmakingsuch<br />
decisions would look at climate suitability,<br />
regulations and the prevailing economics<br />
of dairying compared to other land uses.<br />
They also found between 2030 and 2040,<br />
78 percent of allwater use consents in the<br />
district would expire. However thearea of<br />
landinvolved in this process will be even<br />
greateras water consents for all three<br />
irrigation companies in the districtalso<br />
fall due in this period.<br />
Mr Fitzgeraldisafarmerwith anactive<br />
involvementinanintensive irrigatedMid<br />
Canterburybasedfamily farm, and has<br />
experience as an agribusiness executive<br />
and consultant.<br />
Part of this researchincluded running<br />
farmerfocus groups and examining data<br />
from the <strong>Ashburton</strong>District Council and<br />
Environment Canterbury to analysethe<br />
economic life of key assetssuch as dairy<br />
sheds andirrigation consents.<br />
Most were unfazed.<br />
One farmer saidthey would follow<br />
profits and go where the market led, and<br />
anothertalkedabout planning<br />
investments to cope with extreme events.<br />
Overthe past 20 years, irrigation has<br />
transformed <strong>Ashburton</strong>District from its<br />
traditional use as sheep and grain growing<br />
region.<br />
Irrigated farming now covers about65<br />
percent or 220,000 hectares of the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> District plains.<br />
Dairy farming now accounts for $1,129<br />
millionof thelocal economyand 63<br />
percent of net farm incomefor the district.<br />
‘‘The renewal process is significant<br />
becausethe implementation of the<br />
National Policy Statement for Fresh<br />
Water Management (2020) mayintroduce<br />
new ordifferentconsentconditions for<br />
water use. This could change theviability<br />
or feasibilityofsomelanduses under<br />
those new conditions, especially if the<br />
fortunes of dairyfarmingdo not compare<br />
as favourably as other land use options,’’<br />
researchers said.<br />
Mid Canterburydairy farmer Nick<br />
Richard Fitzgerald<br />
Giera,ofRuapuna,said owneroperators<br />
and familyfarmsmaking decisions will<br />
mean looking at investment returns, but<br />
also their own personalcircumstances.<br />
‘‘Makingany decision to changewill<br />
involvelookingat return on investment,<br />
but they’llalso considertheir own<br />
personal stage of their farming career,<br />
succession plans, andassetvalue<br />
considerations of alternativeland uses.<br />
‘‘At the momentthere are not many land<br />
uses(with the requiredsupporting<br />
infrastructure) that compete with dairy on<br />
areturnoninvestmentbasis, but that may<br />
changeinthe future,’’ he said.<br />
Another key finding of the research is<br />
that meaningful climate information at a<br />
granular 5km x5km resolution would give<br />
farmers confidence to make changesto<br />
improve farm circumstances.<br />
Future water use consent and dairy shed<br />
renewals may be acatalyst for land use<br />
changes in Mid Canterbury.<br />
‘‘Myguess is that mostfarmers will wait<br />
untilthere are reliable trends and<br />
patternsoflongterm changes to climate<br />
before making significant changes to their<br />
business.<br />
‘‘This means farmers are likely to have<br />
other factors thatdrive change firstsuch<br />
as returns and asset replacement<br />
decisions,’’ Mr Giera said.<br />
‘‘Climate data is notoriously inaccurate<br />
andmodelsthat predict future changes in<br />
climate have along way to go to givefarmers<br />
anyconfidence in investingbasedonfuture<br />
predictions. Soil type andlocalisedclimate<br />
arebig driversofwhat is possible andthat's<br />
where we need data,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘Farmers are alogical bunchwho are<br />
keen to understandthe changing climate at a<br />
granular, locallevelastheir whole business<br />
model is based on climate,’’researchers<br />
said.<br />
‘‘It makes goodbusiness sense to<br />
understand whatiscoming so they can<br />
futureprooftheirbusiness.’’<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> DistrictCouncil chief executive<br />
Hamish Riachsaidworkingtogether,<br />
supportedbyindustry and thescientific<br />
community, farmerscan understand what<br />
theclimate future will looklike andwhat to<br />
do about it.<br />
‘‘If we givefarmersresearchthey cantake<br />
home anduse straightaway, rather than<br />
highleveltheory, then they will minimise<br />
riskand utilise the opportunitiesemerging<br />
throughachangingclimate.’’<br />

Former Ecan chair reflects on service<br />
Outgoing Environment<br />
Canterbury chairwoman<br />
Jenny Hughey, who chose<br />
nottorestand for council,<br />
reflects on atermof<br />
achievements in herfinal<br />
column.<br />
‘‘Three years ago, Ihad the<br />
honour and privilege of being<br />
sworn in as Chair of<br />
Canterbury’s regional council<br />
—our first fully elected council<br />
in just under adecade.<br />
The electoral cycle means<br />
there is now a‘changing of the<br />
guard’, with the final votes of<br />
the latest election now<br />
confirmed.<br />
Idecided not to stand for reelection<br />
as Ibelieveit’s the right<br />
time for some new energy<br />
around the table.<br />
In stepping aside, Ihave<br />
found myself reflecting on the<br />
council’s time together and all<br />
that we’ve achieved.<br />
To those councillors who’ve<br />
also chosen not to return,I<br />
sincerely thank you for your<br />
contribution and wish you well<br />
wherever your journey takes<br />
you. It’s fair to say our term was<br />
punctuated by disruption —<br />
from flooding events to covid<br />
lockdowns.<br />
The pandemic meant we were<br />
unabletoget out and about as<br />
much as we would have liked. It<br />
forcedusall to look at new ways<br />
of working.<br />
Throughoutthis upheaval,<br />
our council was determined to<br />
maintain aconnection with the<br />
community and bring people<br />
into the democratic process. In<br />
this, we succeeded.<br />
For instance, the number of<br />
submissionsreceivedfor our<br />
most recentAnnualPlan was<br />
remarkable (2800),and it was<br />
empoweringtohave so many<br />
voicesinfluence our decisions.<br />
In fact, one of the most<br />
rewardingaspects of my time in<br />
council has been hearingfrom<br />
you —the public.<br />
We saw more peoplethan<br />
ever attendcouncilmeetings<br />
and speak at our citizens’<br />
forums, sharingideasand<br />
providing asounding board.<br />
These conversations shaped<br />
our work and helped us<br />
understandthe impacts of our<br />
activities on communities. This<br />
has gone along way towards<br />
restoring democracy at the<br />
Jenny Hughey<br />
regional council.<br />
This typeofparticipation is<br />
vital to ahealthy democracy,<br />
and Ithank everyone of you<br />
who took the timetotell us what<br />
you think.<br />
While there weremany<br />
achievementsthat I’m fiercely<br />
proud of, afew in particular<br />
stand out:The passing of the<br />
Canterbury Regional Council<br />
(NgāiTahu Representation) Act<br />
—tobeinparliament as the Bill<br />
passed was simply magic<br />
Establishingpublicfacing<br />
committees<br />
The launch of It’s Time,<br />
Canterbury, aregionwide<br />
campaign to raise awarenessof<br />
climate change issues and<br />
challenges<br />
Making public transport<br />
cheaperand more accessible,<br />
withthe scene set for next year’s<br />
trial of $2 flat fares<br />
Launching the Waitaha<br />
Action to ImpactFund to help<br />
communitygroups deliver great<br />
projectsonthe ground.<br />
I'd also like to congratulate<br />
our staff, including our chief<br />
executive and her predecessor,<br />
for their commitmentto<br />
implementingthe Living Wage.<br />
We recently applied to be an<br />
accredited LivingWage<br />
employer. If successful, we’llbe<br />
the first regional council to gain<br />
this recognition.<br />
I'm passionate about how<br />
wage levels can affect people’s<br />
ability to access basic rights<br />
such as housing and actively<br />
participate in society.<br />
Beingacouncillor is not about<br />
sitting in an office and imposing<br />
rulesonpeople. It’s about<br />
working with communities to<br />
hear as many views as possible,<br />
makingdecisions and finding a<br />
way forward.<br />
Ibelieve the incoming group<br />
is set up well to take our work<br />
further, and Iwish them<br />
tremendous success for the<br />
term ahead. And finally, Iwould<br />
like to thank you,the<br />
community, for getting involved<br />
and being interested in your<br />
region. This is how democracy<br />
shouldfunction.<br />

we did without you.’’<br />
