Talkingtochildren helps raise
the level of oral language
across our young children,
Hakatere Kāhui Akolead
principal Cath Blacklow says.
It has been thefocus of anew
Kāhui Ako­wide campaign to
lift whānau awareness around
the importance of talking to
children.
“Teachers have noticeda
definite declineinlanguage
ability and acquisition over
the last few yearsand the
Kahui Ako are committed to
growing awareness and
improving this for ourakonga
over thecomingyears,” she
said.
Posters are going up in
public places such as the
library, recreationsites and
churches.
It is just oneofthe initiatives
coming out of theHakatere
Kāhui Ako learning
community which is made up
of 10 primary schools,
Ashburton Intermediate,
Ashburton College and 15
early childhoodeducation
centres (ECE).
Itwas formedin2015 and is
led by asteeringgroupof12
school principals and early
childhoodleaders involved
with the Kāhui who work
together to help students
achieve their full
potential.
MrsBlacklow, of St Joseph’s
School, tookupthe lead role in
July last year.
Shesaid theKāhui Ako had
three main achievement
challenges ­developing
culturally responsive teaching
practice; the huaora
/wellbeing of staff, akonga and
whānau; and coherency
between the 12 kura and15
ECE in the group.
“We have highly skilled and
caringteachers,and
enthusiastic andcompetent
leaders that we as a
community can be proud of,”
she said.
There have been
professional
development opportunities,
practicalworkshop
programmes and social
connections.
Professional learninggroups
have beenwell­attendedbya
cross sectionofteachers from
ECE throughtosecondary,she
said.
“This is the magic of the
Kāhui Ako ­whenteachers
cometogether they learn and
growintheir practice from
talking andsharing with one
another.
“Therehavebeen some great
initiatives followed up from
these professionallearning
groups.”

Homeland art
Henry Lowen­Smith with some of his exhibited work.
The Ashburton Art Gallery is
presenting an exhibition on the
art of Henry(Harry) Lowen­
Smith.
The Wind of the Homeland is a
collection of undisturbed
landscapes inspired by scenery
found across New Zealand.
Henry, born in Wakanui in
1932, has been painting for over
60 years. He is colourblind and
cannot easily distinguish reds
andgreens, which makes his
vivid but realistic native
bushscapes and grassland
paintingsall the more
impressive.
At 14 he was offered free entry
to the Canterbury School of Fine
Arts, ‘‘which Ideclined,’’ he said.
‘‘I wantedtogoforwardand find
my own styleofpainting’’.
Self­taught, he explored
techniques around
contemporary realism, usingoil
as hispreferred medium.
At the AshburtonSocietyof
Art’s veryfirst exhibition58 years
ago he sold two paintings, and
realising peopleloved his artas
much as he didinspired him to
pursuehis passions.
His latestexhibition presents
aretrospective collection of his
worksspanning over 44 years,

between 1966 to 2010.
‘‘I enjoy local landscapes and
then went on to paint New
Zealandwide,’’ he said,
describing how he wasfortunate
to have aflexible working
environment in his younger
years which allowed him to
continuepaintingwhileworking
asabuilder.
To gather inspiration forhis
workand to expand his
knowledge of NewZealand
scenery,heandhis wife, Sylvia,
would travel up to 3000 miles
(about4820kilometres)per year.
‘‘There wouldn’t be abackroad
we haven’t been on,’’ Henry said.
His collection presents a
seriesoftranquil landscapes and
cityscapes that easily capture
NewZealand’s rugged beauty
and diverseenvironments.
Henry haswon severalawards,
both national and international,
and hashad buyers from around
theworld using hiswork forboth
private andcorporate
collections.
The exhibition runs until
Sunday andseveral of thepieces

End of School Year Looming
Another school year is nearing the end. The
senior students have finished classes and NCEA
exams arecurrently taking place.
As theschoolcommunityworks hardtofinishthe
year strongly, we arealso busy planning for2023.
Part of this planning involves Teacher Only
‘ACCORD’ Days on 21 and 22 November. The
ACCORD days are for schools around New
Zealand toplan ahead on how toimplement the changes that have
come from the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA)
Review of Achievement Standards.This is alarge and complex piece of
work that we hopewill strengthen New Zealand’s education system and
qualifications framework forour rangatahigoingforward.
Exam Time CanBeStressful
As mentioned, NCEA exams have recently started. Exams can be a
stressful time of year forstudents and fortheir widerhouseholds! It is at
timeslike these thatstudents can develop and demonstratetheir grit.
A2014 study in theUSfound that grit is abetter predictorofsuccess than
intellectual talent.Gritismade up of fivecomponents:
• Courage – the abilitytotriumph over fear
• Conscientiousness – the desiretodoatask well
• Perseverance – keeping goingthroughstruggle
• Resilience – abilitytobounceback from adversity
• Passion – feelingenthusiastic or excitedfor
something, or about doing something
In the words ofone of the authors, Angela Duckworth, ‘Grit issticking
with your future, day in, day out; not just for the week, not just for the
month, but for years; and working really hard tomake that future a
reality’.
Exams areanexcellentopportunitytogrowand develop thatgrit.
NetSafePresentation
Last week we were fortunate to have Paula Wistrand from NetSafe
presenttoour staff andofferawebinar to our parentcommunity.NetSafe
is the organisation in New Zealandthatprovides onlinesafetyadviceand
reporting.Their work is aligned to the Harmful Digital Communications
Act2015.
Paula's presentations were highly informative and provided food for
thought. Some of the statistics provided sobering reading. These include
insights into our current reality such as 73% ofteenagers across the
countrylearningabout sexfrompornography, and26% of young people
under21years of age havingexperienced bullying or harassmentonline.
Twoofthe keytakeawaysfor me were:
• Separate the behaviour from the technology,and focus on education–
manyofthe behaviours displayedare not neworspecific to onlineor
the 21st Century. Technology does,however,pose unique challenges.
Education is critical to get young people thinking about what is
appropriate and why, when interacting online, so that the values we
expect ofpeople in the real world are also demonstrated inonline
environments.
• Positive role modelling by adults is important –it is no secret that
public groups and comment functions on social media platforms are
oftenhotbeds of toxicity, negativity and misinformation. This content
is oftengeneratedbythe adultsthat our teenagerslook up to.Young
people noticeand take their cues from whatthey see.

Phoenix Chorus and National Anthem
The Phoenix Chorus, with Angie Cresswell as
Musical Director and Conductor, and Stephen
Diedricks accompanying, again provided the
Processional,aperformance, and the Recessional
as they did forthe Year 13 Graduation Ceremony.
The National Anthem for this evening was very
ably led by Tamsin Cartney and Maria Lawn
(pictured right, leftand right).
Welcome by MC,DeputyPrincipal Hannibal Ikahihifo
Hannibal opened the evening saying –
Engā mana, Engā reo, Engā karangatanga
maha
Tena koutou,tena koutou,tena tatoukatoa
Ngā mihi ahau ki tēnei whenua me ōna uri ka
mihi au ki Kati Huirapa
Etūana ahau hei māngai mō tēnei kura
Kei konei ahau ki te mihi atukiakoutou
Eharikoa ana ahau ki te pōwhiriiakoutou
Ko te tūmanakonei, kiapai te wā ki konei
He puawaitanga harakeke, he rito whakakī
whārarua
Nō reira, nāia tākumihi atukiakoutou
Following the singing of the National Anthem, Hannibal spoke saying Malo
e lelei, Kia orana koutou katoatoa, and giving a very warm welcome to
students,staff, parents,caregivers,whānau and invited guests.
He emphasised that, on this evening, wecome together to celebrate the
commitment, perseverance,achievements and successes made by our Year
11 and 12 students this year.
Additionally,henoted that, being new to the school and community, he felt
fortunate to be in the position to be apart ofthis celebration of rangatahi
achievements.
Principal’s Address
Principal Ross Preece addressed the students,
similarly to those at the Year 13 Graduation
Ceremony aweek prior, welcoming all to the
celebration of achievementsofthe Year 11 and
12 students,plus providing an opportunityfor
parents and caregivers to celebrate.
Ross referenced the challenges for
students over the past three years of COVID
interruptions,online learning,illness or thatof
family members, and having teachers absent
forthe same reasons.
Thelack of assemblies and large-scale sporting and cultural events have all
impacted, lessening some ofthe enduring memories which students take
forwardwith them.
However, the COVID pandemic was unique in that itprovided the entire
world with aunique shared experience, at the same time; suggested as
unique in mankind’s historyinthat, globally,every nation has faced asimilar
set of challenges. Ross suggested, inthat regard, we can perhaps view
ourselves as historymakers.
Ross referred to the skills and dispositions needed to be successful in the
future and in employment, including flexibility and adaptability, creativity
and co-operation, and the ability toaccess and work with digital tools. He
noted that the experiences of the last three years will stand them in good
stead, asteachers and students have had to become creative problemsolvers.
The work ofteachers was acknowledged, including the flexibility they
have shown in supporting students, and managing classroom and online
teaching; as was the support ofBoard Members with their oversight,
wisdom and governance.
Students were reminded thatapplying the AshColl WayValues,and striving
to AchieveQuality, ShowPride inwhatthey do,how they appear,and being
Respectful to others,will always stand them in good stead fortheir futures.
Students returning in 2023 were challenged to make the most of the
opportunities at College and, for those leaving for employment, Ross
recommended they look for anoption which extends them and brings a
sense of fulfilment. He said afifty year working lifeistoo long to be doing
something they don’t enjoyorwhich doesn’t bring satisfaction. However, he
reminded students that they are‘in charge of their own destiny, so look to
have afuturethatfeeds their soul’.
Ross concluded by congratulating students about to be on stage to
be acknowledged and receive awards, saying that the most pleasing
developmentsare personal growth and maturity.

Guest Speaker –Jonathan Pow
It wasour very real pleasuretowelcome
Jonathan Pow asour guest speaker for
this evening.
Jonathan is a former Ashburton
College student who, post-College,
studied at the UniversityofCanterbury,
Christchurch, from 2001-2006,
graduating with a Bachelor of Laws
(Honours) and aBachelor of Arts.
Jonathan was employed with Wynn
Williams, Christchurch, initially as a
Solicitor and then appointed to the
position of Associate in June 2014. In
May 2018 he and his family made the
decision to return tolive and work in
Ashburton, where hehas been with Tavendale and Partners for 4½years,
initially as aSeniorAssociate and,inApril of this year,asaPartner of the firm.
Jonathan focused on the night being all about the students and their
achievements. Heencouraged them to absorb the evening because being
celebratedfor their accomplishments is awonderful,but all tooinfrequent,
occasion.
Jonathan backgrounded hisschooling in Ashburton, noting he had a‘really
good time’atCollege, was Green House Executive Vice-Captain, and then
left for university studying law and sociology. Overseas travel followed
beforereturning to work as acommercial lawyer in Christchurch.
Akey message here was developing as anew lawyer, keeping at it, and
getting to know (most of the time he said) whathewas doing.
On the topic of leaving school, Jonathan suggested tostudents that postsecondaryschool
they cantake the path well trod (out of school,totertiary,
training or employment) or do something entirely different. In his view, he
said, there isalso no need to rush into avocation, work or university. What
he suggested was important was to make sure‘your path is yours, not just
what you think mightbeexpectedofyou,orwhat everyone else mightbe
doing, and it doesn’t have to be immediately career-driven’. Henoted that
it’s abig call at 17 or 18 years old to be determining the rest of your life.
Another point ofconsideration was his relocation back to Ashburton, with
his family, saying he was ‘really enjoying’ being back in Ashburton but
probably had never thought hewould be saying that, or living back here,
until an opportunityarose.
Jonathan asked‘WhatisLearning, whatdid he wish he’d heard when he
wasinYear 11 and 12.
Some keypoints were –
• Going into the last year or two years of schooling, istoknow and
understandwhy you’re here.
• The pointofschool being to effectively transfer howand whatyou learn
in school to other situations and to life.
• Rote learning, or memorising information, without meaningfully
understanding it,isn’t the goal.
• Just completing typical school tasks quickly, but without meaningful
understanding,isnot fun or rewarding at all and not whyyou’reatschool.
• Understand that you’re there totrain your brain, to develop focus, to
acquire a problem-solving mindset, to improve how you formulate,
communicate and express ideas, and to surprise your teachers.
• Haveaninquiring mind,and you’ll be abletoapply those skills in whatever
youend up doing next,and you’ll find that wherever yougoorwhatever
youdofromherewillbesomuch morestimulating and rewarding forit.
• The beauty ofthis is that you don’t have to be ‘academic’ toadopt
this mindset, you just have to be motivated and willing to try tosolve
problems.
• Don’t think of it as‘going to school’; think of school as the placewhereyou
have the opportunityto‘constantly learnand create’.
• Itinvolves hard work and attention sure, but constantly learning and
creating can be fun, and so rewarding.
BeingYoung andTaking Opportunitieswas Another Topic
Jonathanreminded students they have everythingahead of them, and have
so much opportunity. He referenced Sir Ian Taylor, founder of Animation
Research,abig advocatefor youth development.
Resonating was his mantra, based on aMāori proverb, which hebelieves
giveshim aclear pathway andwhich translatesas‘the footsteps we lay down
in our past, create thepaving stones on which we stand today’.
Plus,thereisKamua, ka muri–‘I walk backwardsintothe futurewith my eyes
fixedonmypast’.
News

Jonathan suggested to students that the past is central toand shapes
both their present and future identity. Wecarry our past into our future,
with everything we do now orinthe next few years having abearing and
foundation on who we are, whatwedoand whatwebecome.
Therefore, the next fewyears aresignificant.
Making the Mostofthe Last Years at College
Jonathan encouraged Year 12 students to make the most of their last year at
College next year,and forthe Year 11 students,oftheir last twoyears; urging
them not to let thetime pass them by,and encouraging ‘constantlearning
and creating, seizing opportunities, enjoying the opportunities available’,
saying ‘get engaged and involved in anything and everything youcan’.
Students were reminded they will all be leaders of the school from next
year on, and that their next year will lay the paving stones for standing on
beyond that. Jonathan said that 2023Year 12 and 13 students can set the
tone and culture ofAshburton College, and younger students look up and
aspiretobelike senior students.Students mostly remember the names and
faces of the students older than themselves, remembering how seniors
behave,lead and interact with students,peers and staff.Noted wasthatthis
is areal privilege,but also areal responsibilityand with work to be done.
Avalid point was the many adults who would love to go back to their last
few years of school, because it’s atime ofhope, opportunity, creation, fun
and freedom –atime never able to be repeated, which is sobering and
thought-provoking.
Put tostudents was the fact that they will never have another Year 12 or
another Year 13, and the importance ofsetting their paving stones, and
making the time memorable.
APlug forAshburton!
Acknowledged was the fact that many students can’t wait to get out of
Ashburtonordon’t see themselves staying afterleaving school,the same –
Jonathan said –ashewas at thatage.
However, he said, maybe this has changed now –because it should have,
as Ashburtonand its business environmenthas changed,bringing so many
moreopportunities to do so much in Ashburton.
Jonathan never anticipatedbeing back in Ashburtonbut nowthatheis, he
is passionate about Ashburtonand advised students they could be too. He
said it makes him question why, when finishing study, he didn’t consider
returning.
Theopportunities in Ashburtonare many, whether IT,banking and finance,
planning, project management, marketing and design, architecture,
engineering,accounting,machineryand systems designand manufacture,
hydrology, hairdressing, dairy farm management, livestock trading, sales
and insurance, financial advice, large animal veterinary, farming advisory,
agronomy and international commodity trading, and more –Ashburton
doesitall now, and in manysectors has leaders in their fieldnationallyand
internationally and some truly world-class operations.
Thereare so manyopportunities to carve out really successful and lucrative
careers in and around Ashburton.
Sage advice was, byall means; go further afield, ‘get out of dodge for a
bit’, see the world, always continuing to think explore and learn, but don’t
discount Ashburton. Keep it in mind as apotential destination for all your
good ideas,inspirations,aspirations and ambitions.Come back.
But first,heurged,‘make your final years at AshburtonCollege count, give it
allyou can, work hard, enjoylearning,embracethe leadership opportunities
you’ll get and enjoythe year’.
Jonathan concluded with congratulations to all on their achievements,and
with good wishes to all forthe years ahead.

Feedback sought on highway speeds
Waka Kotahi - NZTA is proposing
to lower the speed limit through
Rakaia township to 50km/h and
Mid Canterbury residents are being
urged tohave their say on that and
other changes in their Interim State
Highway Speed ManagementPlan.
The national transport authority wantsto
lowerthe speedlimit on State Highway1
through Rakaia from 70km/h to 50km/h;
and lowerthe speedlimit north of Rakaia
and over the river and rail bridges from
100km/h to 80km/h or 60km/h.
The other proposed changes areonState
Highway 77.
The authority is proposing a 30km/h
variable limit past Ashburton Borough
School (related to school hours), and a
30km/h variable limit past Our Lady of the
Snows primary school and Mt Hutt College
in Methven. It’s also proposed to lower the
speed limit from Methven township to the
newOpukeThermalHotPools to80km/h.
Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown urged Mid
Canterbury residents to have their say
during Waka Kotahi’sconsultation, which
willrun forfour weeks until 12 December.
“Thespeed limit through Rakaia has long
been aconcern for our local road safety
committee and for Rakaia locals who
struggle to get across the highway safely
at times.
“Thenew hotpools in Methven havealso
createdalot of vehicle andfoottraffic,and
locals there have been lobbying for the
limit on thatstretch of road to be lowered
from 100km/h.”

Clocktower
messagefor
community
Ashburton’s iconic clock tower will
begin glowing orange next week
for the duration of Zonta’s 16-day
international campaign against
domestic violence.
Orangeisthe signaturecolour of the Zonta
Says No campaign, which will run from
Friday 25 November until Saturday 10
December.
The campaign is recognised by all 66
countries where there are Zonta Clubs,
including 28 ClubsinNew Zealand and the
local ZontaClub of Ashburton.
Local club spokesperson Alison Grant
said the campaign was about increasing
awareness of domestic violence, as only
25 per cent of caseswerereported.
“Our mission in Zonta istogive women
and girls equal rights andopportunities, to
eliminate violenceandto improvethelives
and women and girls worldwide.”
Council ChiefExecutiveHamish Riach said
Council supported the campaign message
and lighting up the clock towerorangeat
night would help raise awareness within
the Ashburtoncommunity.
“Family violence happens at all levels
of society, and affects all members ofa
family, soitisimportant people know
wheretheycan access help and support.”
Council staffchangethe colour of the LED
strip lighting byaccessing anelectronic
controller inthe base of the clock tower.
The lights are usually one colour, though
there isanoption for amulti-coloured
display.
The lights are currently glowing purple
to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer
and premature babies. Council receives
several requests throughout the year for
colours to mark specialevents.
After the ZontaSays No campaign finishes
on 10 December, the multi-colour mode
will be chosen to run through the festive
season.
Mr Riach said the clock towerwas widely
recognised as asymbol of Ashburton and

Blindcaps
withdraw
from
World Cup
Donna McCaskill
The NewZealand Blindcaps
have withdrawn from attending
the Blind Cricket World Cup in
India.
New Zealand Blind Cricket
Association board chairwoman
­and player­Donna McCaskill,
of Ashburton, said it was oneof
the hardest decisions the board
had to makebut due to alack of
sponsorship and other factors
there was no other option.
She said the association had
faced with some difficulttimes
recently withthree players
havingtowithdrawdueto
healthreasons and it was not
realistic to replace three
partially sighted key players.
They had also recently lost B1
player Parveen Shankar who
passed away unexpectedly,
which was ‘‘another loss that
has mentally and emotionally
effected players’’, she said,
notifying Facebook followers.
“Taking the players on a
demanding tour of this levelwheretheywouldbetravelling
to multiple citiesacross India ­
often immediately after playing
international matches, would
be to much to add to many
players who arealready
emotionallydrained.
‘‘We would not be presenting
our strongest or most
competitiveteam,’’ she said.
McCaskill had played
alongside Shankar since his
selectionbackin2006. “We
need time to healand then
move ourfocus to next year’s
WorldBlind Games.”
The Board will meet in the
coming weekstodiscuss a
training plan to getthe players
back on track.

Biddy Cowan: overcoming the
odds to build new artistic career
Geraldine identity, Biddy Cowan, has published
asecond illustrated book with help from her
mother, Jenny Waterson.
TheTrueStory of Biddys Cat Sam is based
on an incident where Biddys large Red-pointed
Cymric took on aneighbourhood bully to
protect hispatch for himself andtheother cats
associated with their house. Illustrations and
photos are mainly by Biddy; Jenny wrotethe
rhymingtext.
The book is aimed at the four-to-six-yearold
age range; though, as Jenny says, it could
also appeal to any catlover. Biddy has already
received fan mail from Waima Schoolstudents
in Northland, who are delightedwith her new
book. The students so enjoyed Biddys debut
publication, TheStory ofBeeHappy,thatthey
sent drawings of bees to her in response.
Their teacher writes, The class loved The
True StoryofBiddys Cat Sam so much, they
all wantedtotellmeabout their cats ...Atthe
end ofthe book are two pages inviting the
reader to colour in some cats, before drawing
apictureoftheirown. Biddy is lookingforward
to seeing her readers cat drawings
Jenny explains that while Biddy was born
withtoxoplasmosis, she has alwaysenjoyed a
full and active life. Then, three years ago, at
age 40, Biddy had abrain aneurysm with a
subsequent stroke, which meant the end of
many of the activities she had previously
enjoyed. However, shehas recentlybegun work
with anew physiotherapist, including work in
the gym. Jenny says, She is still in awheelchair,
working towards walking again.
As devastating as the aneurysmwas, it has
given Biddy the opportunity to investigate
talents she had previously ignored, including
rediscovering her artisticability. As well as the
two books, Biddy has produced arange of
hand-drawn greeting cards (GNews 24.06.21)
andaperpetual birthday calendar.
Jennysays thatshe is unsure whether there
will be asequel to the cat story, but they
aregathering photographs anddrawings just
in case.
TheTrueStory of Biddys Cat Sam isavailable
at Geraldine Page and Post oratCountry

art, visit her Facebook page Handmade by

The fact thatour little paper is basically ama-andpa

it lets us down -apologies to Henry Lowen-Smith for

it this weekend.
Happy Birthday, Biddy! We have enjoyed putting

In summing up their senior school
experience, GeraldineHighSchool (GHS)
head students William Wilson and

as well as the social lifeofthe year.
Principal Simon Coleman echoed the
sentiments, saying they had only been

Tools for Teens creator and facilitator, life coach Jill Griffin. PHOTO: Jan Finlayson
Tools for Teens helps students
discover power of the mind
Toolsfor Teenscreator, Geraldine-based
life coachJillGriffin deliversher mindset
toolkit to students in secondary schools
nationwide. Asignificant part of herlife
coaching work, the programme gives
youngpeopletoolsthey can use throughout
their entire lives, she says.
Its forall students regardlessoftheir
abilities, socio-economic background,
and cohort, says Jill. The jam-packed
facilitatedsessions help students learn
the power of their minds and thoughts.
Decades of professionalacting, drama
and language teaching sit behind Jills
life coaching and are bedded into Tools
for Teensrationale and practice.Working
in schools several years ago, she saw the
need for improvement in how student
wellbeingisaddressed,including relating
to suicide.
The tools, developedafter she trained
as alifecoach,have two standalone strands.
The main one, for Year 11 to Year 13
students, is a journey into themselves,
teaching students about their emotions,
their mind-body connection, agrowth
mindset versus a victim mindset,
mindfulness,and stress relief. Its ahalfhour
talk for all classes, followed by a
90-minute workshop.
That workshop, she says, is adeep
dive. Its for them to discover the
connections for themselves; to start
exploring fight, flight, and freeze -the
limbic brainarea-andhow our thoughts
can change the way we feel, and how
emotions are expressed through our body.
Jill says, The last part of the workshop
is asession onidentifying strengths,
values, beliefs, and goal-setting.
An additional oroptional course,
the other strand of Tools for Teens, is a
two-hour focus onconnection and
communication for Year 9to Year 13
students. Jill says,It uses drama games
and techniques, atalk for all classes, and
then workshops. Its team-building, and
its fun.
What sets Tools for Teensapart from
other tools is that its immersive. It uses
drama; its involved and active, and its
neuroscience-informed. As for her life
coaching, which she practises nationally
and internationally, in person andonline,
Jillsays, Its not aboutgivingadvice. Its
about walking alongside people,helping
them develop.
Tools for Teens is fully facilitated in
schools by Jill. Up to three sessions can
be run during aschool day. Upto50
students can attend each workshop.

027 213 5111 or visit jillgriffin.co.nz.

local rhododendron nurseryman KenJordan, local
volunteerDaveAtwood,and myself as the sculpture
trail project coordinator.
Andrew leads aprojectwhere the conservation
and preservation of precious rhododendrons are
paramount. Climate change isaffecting the longterm
environment wherethe plants grow in Taranaki.
He is seeking to match settings with plants from
their collection to maintain their longevity and
protectthe gene poolbydistributing the collections
throughout New Zealand.
Havingalready established a40-plant collection
in the Gore Botanical Gardens, South Canterbury
is an area where Andrew feelsthese plants willthrive.
Thisrelationship between Pukeiti andthe Timaru
DistrictCouncil will hopefully see acollection coming
to Geraldineinthe not-too-distant future.However,
manydiscussions arestill to be had, plus the inevitable
documentation, but Iwill keep youinformed of our
progress in bringing this collection to Geraldine.

Geraldine Trotting Clubcommittee member
David Hay encourages the community
to support therace meeting on Saturday,
26 November, at Ōrari. He says, Geraldine
is one of the top grass courses and is
highly regarded. Nevertheless, the
New Zealand Racing Board is threatening
it with closure.
David says the committee operates
independently of government, so little
can be gained in petitioning political
figures. He says that rationalising the
countrys courses is inevitable but believes
thereisagoodcase for retaining Geraldine.
In the meantime, he hopes that agood
crowd will turn out to support this meeting,
the most important ofthe two annual
meetings held at Geraldine. He says that
traditionally they have enjoyed good
community support with an attendance
of between 2,000-3,000 people. In past
yearsasmall entrance fee has beencharged.
To encourage families, entry is now free.
Prize money of $150,000 is at stake,
including the $25,000 Geraldine Cup.
Punters will enjoy anine-raceprogramme.

70 yearsbefore retiring to Geraldine.
Speaking on behalf ofher husband,
Sylvia Lowen-Smith thanked people for
attending andthe gallery for putting on
the exhibition. She said that the show
had taken two and ahalfyears to organise
because of her husbands ill health.
The titleofthe exhibition is The Wind
of the Homeland.The artist paints in oils
and describes himself as atraditional
realist. The 27canvases, which range
from a1970 painting of Lake Bruner to
a2006 painting of Sutton, capture the
light andmovementofthe SouthIsland
landscapes.
Henry, who painted as Harry Smith
until 1980, has been afull-time artist
since 1978.Heisself-taught, and includes
AustenDeans and Douglas Badcock among
his mentors.According to the exhibition
programme, at one time, hetravelled
over 3,000 miles ayear in acampervan,
capturing the essenceofthe sceneasit
was by painting en pleinair.
Those familiar with Henrys gallery
on Main North Road will rememberthat
the canvases are quite overpowering in
the confined space ofasmall house.
Curator James Hope hasused the
expanseofthe gallery to allow the
paintings room tobreathe.
GNews apologises for the late
appearance of this article,but note that
if you havent seen this show already,
there is still time to take it in. The exhibition
finishes at the Ashburton Art Gallery
and HeritageCentre at 327West Street
(SH1), Ashburton, on20November.

Makawe
Makawe -hair
Huruhuru -hair, feather, undergrowth
A few weeks back, we learned that the kupu for head
is māhunga. This week, we focus on the kupu for hair,
makawe. Aswith the other words we are learning,
makawe means hair in both singular and plural form;
it can refer to asingle hair orahead full of the stuff.
There are several other words used for hair intereo
Māori; huruhuru isone of them.Mostly, thesedifferences
are iwi or preference based.
In te Ao Māori, the head isconsidered an extremely
tapu (sacred) part of the body, including the hair.
In traditional society, the state and style of apersons
makawe communicated alot about their status and
social ranking. Some people believed that the hair was
connected tothe mana (power) aperson possessed.
Makawecouldalsoconveymessages about aperson s
physical, emotional, spiritual and mental state. Frazzled
hair was asign ofaperson being inastate of tapu,
and unkempt hair suggested astate ofmourning.
It was not uncommon for Māori to keep their hair
unkempt while the body of their loved one was above
ground. Some of these practices continue to live onfor
Māori today. Whenmy grandmother passed away,my
uncle cut his waist-length dreads off and laid them
with her; asign of his state ofmourning.
Its interesting to consider what apersons makawe
conveys abouttheir stateofbeingtoday and thelearned
judgements we make about apersons hair based on
our own social groups. JORDYN OSBORNE

Harcourts Happenings -November
2022
Peak month so farthis year for sales -12houses in Geraldine sold in October,
sixofthemattributabletoHarcourts, and November is alsolooking promising.
And what aMovemberweare having (how is the facial hair progressingchaps?).
At time of writing, we have justhad ournew anniversary weekend-thereare not
enoughsuperlatives for the Harcourts GeraldineFestival and theweek preceding-
MelbourneCup,NZTrotting and Galloping Cup week, the ChristchurchShowfor
thosewho were able to get away, and then the Alpine EnergyArt Exhibition opening
on Thursday evening, an exuberant streetfestivalonFriday, alovelySoulFood
concert in St Marys on Friday night, and then the awesome dayinthe Domainon
Saturday. Agreatarray ofstalls, and it is hoped the stall holders profited well.
Theweatherwas kind for the generous garden owners to show theirgardens at
their best and theatmosphere wasamazing.Thereare far too many people to thank
individually, butitwas extremelyhumbling to see the volunteers and community
involvement in what are, in many cases, thankless and behindthe scenes tasks.
We were all partied outbySunday, then thismorningfirst thingwas the“IamHope”
auction in Timaru. The60-hour build,two bedroomhouse sold for $210,000withthe
proceeds to childmental health. In additiontoGumbootFriday thismust be ahuge
help for the services they provide. Also remember“Toot for Tucker”on29November
to top up the foodbank as the countdown to Christmas begins -asweknow it’s not
all sleighbells and unadulterated joy for everyoneatthis time of the year.
Havingsaidthat, Ifeelcertain after the buzz and success of the last week even more
peoplewill nowwanttolive here, buyingorselling -you hadbetter hurry! We have
orders for lots of different price ranges, butparticularly those in excess of $1M.

Making child care
affordable for families
Formanyworking families
here in Ashburton, child
care is abighouseholdcost,
which is whywe’re making
child caremoreaffordable
forlow and middle income
families.
Werecently announced
that our governmentis
significantly expanding
child careassistance,
cutting costs forworking
parentsand supporting
more children into early
education.
Ontop of this, we’re
further boosting Working
forFamilies and the Best
Start payment, providing
more supporttohelpease
thepressure.
Assomeone whohas seen
first­hand the positive
impact good early
childhood education can
make,thisisapolicy that is
dear to myheart andIam so
proud of.
This expansion willsee 54
per cent of all NewZealand
families with children now
being eligible for
subsidisedchild care
assistance and willkick in
fromApril1next year.
Theexact amount
families will save on child
care costs will depend on
the number of hoursthey
work, thewages they areon,
the number of hoursofchild
care perday,and thecost of
theirearly child care
education centre.
Forexample, aMid
Canterbury family with two
parentsboth working 40
hours per week on $26 per
hour with twochildren
under five whowillnot have
been eligible for child care
assistance, nowwill be
eligible for $252 perweek.
Child care assistancehas
been neglected for more
than adecade, since income
thresholds werefrozenby
National in 2010.
I’m really proud that the
changes we’re making will
see thousands of parents
given back the choice to do
what’sbest for their family–
Iknow what adifference
this willmake.
By reducing financial
barriersand better
supporting parentswho
want to enter workor
further training, we’re also
helpingfilllabour
shortages, whichisgood
news for Ashburton
families,local businesses
andour economy.
These next steps buildon
theworkthatour
government hasalready
done to ease costofliving
pressuresonNew
Zealanders in theface of
global inflation, including
ourcostof living package,
which includes the fuel tax
cutand more.
We’re also taking action
on supermarkets to make
sure Kiwis are paying afair
price at thecheckout,
becausewe’refed up with
supermarkets earning $1
million aday in excess
profits while people are
paying apremiumfor the
basics.
Atatimewhenfamilies
arefeeling the cost­of­living
spike, ourgovernmentis
investing in what matters
most.
I’mreallyproud that
we’re nowtaking thenext
steptomakesure childcare
is within reachfor parents
andthat families herein
Ashburton have more
support to cover other costs.

three year old hen, were among
the pets at aStJoseph's School

Pupils drew inspiration from
the recent Ashburton A&P
Show by hosting their own mini
school event on the school
grounds last week with plenty
of parents and grandparents in
attendance.
The day included awellsupported
pet day with dogs
galore, two miniature ponies,
two lambs, achicken and acat,
as well as home industries
pavilion­type competitions
with floral art and sand saucer
works.
Pets and their charges who
were willing and able also took

Ashburton Musical Club
The Club was presented with "An Afternoon of Song" on
Sunday 6th November. The musicians were Alex Doig
(baritone) and Emma Gilkison (soprano), accompanied by
pianist Jeremy Woodside.
Alex commented onthe comparatively small number of
songs for baritone soloists. Many of the lyrics came from
English poets, some of whom wrote the accompanying
music. The subject matters ofthe songs were sea, land and
military endeavour; all of which told astory. Alex’s selection
included; “The Vagabond, Bright is the ring of words”
(Vaughan Williams), “Fair Robin ILove” (Mechem), “Sea
Fever, “The Bells of San Marie”, “Vagabond” (all from
Masefield poems), “Spring” (Argento), “A Shropshire Lad”
(Butterworth), “TheOld Superb” (Stanford), “Fearnomorethe
heato'the sun”(Quilter), “SilentNoon” (Williams), and “Three
Saltwater Ballads” (Keel).
Emma, inastrong soprano voice, sang from musical
theatre; “Spring” (Argento), “Somewhere over the Rainbow”
(Arlen), “Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” (Lloyd
Webber) and finishing with “Irish Blessing” (Chilcott).
The piano accompaniment was demanding and played
by Jeremy withsympathy and emphasis when required. The
programme was thought provoking and well received. The
musicians were generous in sharing their experiences with
club membersafter the finish of the recital.Agreat afternoon
