The district council should focus on 

bringing back Christmas in the Park, 

instead of wasting money holding its 

own Christmas event Light Up the 

Night, says an event organiser, Carol 

Johns. 

This year, Christmas in the Park 

will once again not go ahead, while 

the districtcouncil will stage its 

annual Light Up the Night after the 

event last year cost ratepayers about 

$48,000. 

Light Up the Night involves 

counting down to lighting of the town's 

giant Christmas tree on East St, 

alongside festive carols, 

performances, kids activity area, 

giveaways and food. 

‘‘Bring back something that people 

do actually want to go to. To me, that 

($48,000) is ahuge amount, awaste of 

ratepayers money,’’ Johns said. 

The district council has defended 

holding the event. It said about 3000 

people attended last year, equating to 

acost of just $15 per head, which was 

‘‘well within’’ its own community 

events grant priority criteria. 

Christmas in the Park, held by 

Ashburton Christian Ministers 

Association at the Ashburton Domain, 

attracts up to more than 10,000 

people. The last one in 2019, which 

starred the Topp Twins alongside a 

wide range of local acts and 

spectacular fireworks, cost the 

association more than $25,000. 

In response to whether the district 

council should hold Christmas in the 

Park instead of Light Up the Night, 

district council group manager 

compliance and development Jane 

Donaldson said ‘‘It’s not acase of one 

or the other’’. 

15%offStressless ® 

Past Christmasinthe Parks attract up to more than 10,000 people. 

‘‘Christmas in the Park was not held 

in 2017, with council stepping up to fill 

the void with its Light up the Night 

event, and has done ever since,’’ 

Donaldson said. 

‘‘And because many families might 

be feeling the pinch this year with the 

cost of living crisis, it’s important to 

have certainty around at least one of 

these events,’’ she said. 

‘‘Council has supported Christmas 

in the Park in the past through its 

grants and funding, and welcomes 

future applications from the 

organisers.’’ 

Funding of $4950 was granted from 

the Economic Development and 

Events Fund to the association for the 

2016 Christmas in the Park event. 

‘‘Council regularly stays connected 

with the Christmas in the Park 

organisers offering support. We are 

happy to share our knowledge and 

time with groups wanting to hold 

community events and can advise 

groups on grants available.’’ 

The Ashburton Courier reported in 

2020 the Ashburton Christian 

Ministers Association had decided not 

to hold Christmas in the Park that 

year, citing costs as one of reasons. 

This week association organising 

committee member Megan Roberts 

told The Ashburton Courier the event 

was then cancelled two years in arow, 

due to covid. 

Roberts said the association 

decided two months ago not to hold 

Christmas in the Park this year, due to 

‘‘a lot of factors we have to take into 

consideration’’. 

She thought Johns’ suggestion of the 

district council working with the 

group to bring Christmas in the Park 

back was agood one. 

‘‘It’s something that takes alot of 

work and abig group of people to 

obviously make it happen, it does take 

afair bit of funding,’’ Roberts said. 

Johns spoke to adistrict council 

hearing last week, on its draft 

Economic Development Strategy, 

which has an objective to create an 

annual calendar of events.

Second bridge commitment 

BY JONATHANLEASK 

Local democracy reporter 

Both major political parties have now 

committed to building asecond 

Ashburton bridge but alongtime 

advocate for the project isn’t 

convinced the best location will be 

chosen. 

Labour announced on Thursday 

the second bridge is one of 14 key 

strategic projects in its government 

policy statement for land transport 

(GPS), which Waka Kotahi will 

consider as it develops its next 

10year National Land Transport 

Plan. 

Labour has promised to fully fund 

the project. 

Former twoterm councillor 

Dianne Rawlinson (pictured) is wary 

of the political commitments to build 

abridge “being nonspecific about 

where”. 

“I have the strong feeling they will 

take the most financially practical 

option rather than the best option. 

And no matter what option, Istill 

foresee an issue with the existing 

bridge in the nottoodistant future.” 

Rawlinson has long supported a 

second SH1 bridge option, and was a 

major objector to the Chalmers Ave 

option. 

She has conceded if governmentis 

paying for it, she doesn’t carewhere it 

goes if it means it will finally get built. 

“I still don’tpersonallybelieve 

[ChalmersAve] is the best option but 

if the funding is made available I 

wouldn’t argue with it.” 

As far as Mayor Neil Brown is 

concerned,Chalmers Ave is the only 

option. 

“They are callingitaSH1 project 

but it will be built downChalmers 

Ave.That’s where the business case 

saysand Waka Kotahi supported the 

business case and that site.” 

WakaKotahi will lead the project, 

starting with detailed designand 

tenderingand construction starting 

2026/27.

‘‘Nice’’and ‘‘cool’. 

Thosewere among words 

utteredbyimpressedSt 

Joseph’sSchoolpupilsastwo 

visitors came bearing gifts last 

week. 

Thosegifts were ones that 

will keep on giving, in terms of 

ensuring therecipients stay 

safe on the road. 

AA representative John 

Skevington of Ashburton was 

accompanied by Ashburton 

Police SeniorConstable Sean 

Patterson when he distributed 

25 sets of bicycle lights to 

pupils. 

Therewas much excitement 

as the children, who had their 

bikes at school, thenmounted 

the sets, whicheach includeda 

front and rearlight. 

Skevington is chair of the AA 

Canterbury/West CoastDistrict 

Council. The AA has 18 district 

councils throughout the 

country representing the 

association’s members. The 

districtcouncil’s aimto 

improvethe safety of motoring. 

He saiditwas last year his 

districtcouncil came up with 

the idea of giving out the 

bicycle lights. It had already 

donated abouthalf of theinitial 

500 sets it ordered to other 

schools throughoutthe 

Canterbury/West Coast area, 

including oneother one in Mid 

Canterbury,Tinwald School. 

‘‘Itwill be an ongoingthing, 

we will buymore oncetheyall 

go,’’ Skevington said. 

The district council had 

sourcedthe lights from China, 

throughoneofthe district 

councillor’s contacts wholived 

there. 

‘‘Wehave concernsabout 

kids on bikes. Many people 

cycle on the road without 

lights.’’ 

He saidother AA district 

councils hadbeenimpressedby 

the initiative, and were 

planningondoing the same 

thing. Lightswere soon to be 

distributed in other South 

Island areas,and also in 

Auckland. 

Patterson welcomedthe 

initiative. 

‘‘It’s awesome, fantastic, 

anything that keepskids safe. 

The best thing about them is 

they don’tcost anything and 

they arerechargeable,’’ 

Patterson said. 

The legal requirement was 

for cyclists in the hours of 

darkness to use frontand rear 

lights.However, it wasalso 

advised to use lightswhen 

visibility was restricted, for 

instance at dusk or in poor 

weather. 

One of the young cyclistsatSt 

Joseph’s summedupthe 

appreciation felt by herself and 

fellow students. 

‘‘They arepretty cool,’’ Indi 

Morrison, 12,said. 

‘‘At night youcould go out on 

abike ride and it willmake sure 

people know youare there.’’ 

Fellow pupil Vinnie 

Thompson, 11, had one word to 

sum up what he thought of his 

new bike lights. 

‘‘Nice,’’ he said.

LETTERS TO EDITOR 

Dear Editor, 

Al Drye's commentary Freedom 

to Differ, in last week’s Courier, 

missesthemain pointsraised by 

the dismissal of ateacher for 

refusing to use apupil's preferred 

pronoun (‘he', as the girl in 

question wasunderthe 

impressionthat sheisaboy). 

Ateachermust abidebythe 

rules of conduct dictatedby 

ministerialand professional 

bodies. The Teaching Council of 

Aotearoa NewZealand has 

written into its code of ethics for 

teachers that they mustrefer to 

pupilsbypronounsassociated 

with their selfnominated gender. 

NewZealandlaw recognises the 

right of a16yearold to nominate 

his/her gender (no, Iwon't use the 

plural ‘they' when it is 

grammatically inappropriate) 

given parental consent. 

Butthe overwhelming majority 

of school studentsinNewZealand 

are below the age of 16. In this 

instance, the girl at the centre of 

the fuss was 14. 

The teaching council seems to 

have overreached itself in 

implicitly demandingthe 

recognitionofaclaim to gender 

changefor below16s.This is 

the issuethat should be under 

the legal microscoperather 

than theteacher's right to his 

beliefs.After all, teachers,like 

all professionals, occasionally 

must set aside their own beliefs 

in order to be abletofulfiltheir 

legal obligations as determined 

by their employer (especially 

when that is the state).

MARKLEITH 

Resource Management Officer/ 

Incident Response 

MICHELLE INGHAM 

Land Management and 

Biodiversity Advisor 

Mark worked for Fonterra for several 

decades and has broad experience in 

operations and manufacturing, both 

locallyand offshore. His most recent 

role wasoverseeing food safetyand 

quality audits for high-riskvendors. 

Michelle recentlycompletedaBachelor 

of Science in Biologyand Environmental 

Science from the UniversityofCanterbury. 

Prior to that she worked at avet clinic, 

on dairyfarms, and had abrief stint 

at Ashburton District Council. 

Tell us aboutyour role. 

Ioversee multiple high priority 

consents within the industrial portfolio 

–working with both big and small 

businesses, monitoring their consents 

and identifying any compliance issues. 

Theother part of my role is incident 

responsewhereweinspect, and help 

resolve, pollution events such as 

contaminants entering waterways, 

fires, or odour complaints. 

What areyou enjoying most 

aboutthe job? 

Many of the consent holdersIwork 

with areindifferent types of industries 

that Ihaven’t worked in before, so 

that’s an interesting component. 

From vegetable or meat processing, 

to large scale farming operations and 

district council landfills –I’m really 

enjoying the diversity. 

Would yourecommendyour job 

as acareer-option forothers? 

Definitely.It’sagoodplace for 

graduates fromvarious fields of 

study tounderstand the Resource 

Management Act,and how it is 

applied in “real life” alongside 

Environment Canterbury’svarious 

regional plans. It enables them to 

understand the science behind 

best practice in terms of overall 

environmental management. 

What does atypical daylooklike? 

It’s quite adiverse role.I’vebeendoing 

little bits of everything,which is great. 

We’reinthe officealot of the time 

but then canalsobeout doing field 

work,such as planting sessions, or 

visiting farms to advise farmerson 

good management practices. 

What’s thetrickiest part? 

Having such abroad scopeofwork, 

with so many different aspects 

to cover, does makethingsabit 

challenging –but alsoveryinteresting. 

Learningtojuggle all the components 

is probably the toughestpart. 

What’syourfavourite partof the role? 

Ireallyenjoythe biodiversity side of 

it.For example,looking at how we 

canprotect and enhance degraded 

waterways.Wedoalot of work with 

the science team –sotheymight start 

with collecting baseline data for water 

quality,and we then figure out where 

the troubled areas are. We then work 

with the community to come up 

with aplan to improve those areas – 

whether that be excludingstock from 

waterways,doing riparian plantings, 

that sort of thing. 

What sortofattributesare needed 

forthis job? 

Having apassion forthe environment 

is pretty important,and being flexible 

with ideas. Farmers put alot of hard 

workinto things, so it’s good to come 

at the job with thatwider perspective. 

What message wouldyou like to get 

across to the public aboutyour role? 

It’s up to everyone to reallypush 

this work forward.Every part ofthe 

community needstobeonboard 

to helpwith environment goals – 

it’s not just up to onegroup or one 

organisation. We all need to do ourpart. 

Gratetips for reducing 

stormwater pollution 

Did youknowthatthe stormwater 

drainsyou seeonthe side of the 

road lead directlyinto our rivers, 

streams and the ocean? 

It’s oftenassumed that whatever 

travels downthese drains get treated, 

but in most situations, this is not 

the case. When nasties enter the 

stormwater system, it can lead to 

serious pollution events. 

Forexample,inthe lastfinancial year in 

Timaru alone, there were 36 recorded 

incidents of dischargesintowaterways. 

Contaminants includedchemicals, 

cement,effluent, oil/fuel, rubbish, 

offaland sediment.Weattend similar 

eventsacrossall townsinthe area. 

This typeofpollution threatens 

Canterbury's water quality and aquatic 

life and comeatacost to ratepayers. 

Councils canspend millionseach year 

on constructionand maintenance to 

improve stormwater quality.

Final NCEA Examinations 

That thenleavesushurtlingintothe real business partofthe year –the 

final NCEA examinations,starting on Monday06November2023. 

The accumulation ofcredits over the course ofthe year means that 

students know exactly what they need to achieve toreach the ‘magic 

figure’ required to gaineach LevelofNCEA. 

An NCEA study has observed that once students know (or think) that 

they have reached that figure, the motivation to keep going and to do 

well maybeaffected andthis mayimpactonhow well theypreparefor 

and perform in theexternal examinations. 

Thereare 26 school days (excludingthe DerivedGrade examinations) in 

classroom learning left before the external examinations start. For the 

students not sitting any external examination this means only 26 days 

to achievetheir qualification! 

NewDrop-offAreaatthe frontofCollege 

On 27 July the newdrop-offareaatthe front of theCollegewas finished, 

complete with the planting of new trees and shrubs, plus lighting and 

parking areas.The grassedareas will be resown in spring. 

It is another milestone completion in the progress of our new College. 

Note:Drop-offArea 

This area is for families to drive off Walnut Avenue from the west end 

of College (nearestthe new build), drop your child off and exit via the 

eastern end. 

Building Work Progress 

Progress with the building work is still on track for the Rangitata Block, 

Menorlue and the new gymnasium changing rooms to be ready for 

teaching useatthe beginning of Term One,2024. 

To date, there has been over 100,000 trade person hours put in, with 

oftenover100 peopleonsiteatany one time. 

Alot of work is going onbehind the scenes to ensure this progress is 

kept to schedule. Staff are starting to declutter their resource areas 

to ensure only ‘stuff’needed isput in the new building. Commercial 

movers will help us with the move during December andJanuary2024. 

It is goingtobeanabsolutepleasuretoworkinamodernenvironment

Year 12 Engineering Students Complete 

DriftTrikes 

NicCollie and Mason Bland have just completedtheir drifttrikes in the 

Year 12 Engineering Technology class. Teacher Patrick Neal said that 

these arethe first finished and will soon be joined by severalothers. 

Nic and Mason fabricated these projects in steel, mostly making parts 

utilising hand techniques. However, they also used CAD (Computer-aided 

Design) software and the Technology Department’s new CNC (Computer 

Numerical Control’PlasmaCutteronthe projects. 

Nic fitted a2.5hp petrol engine and axle imported from China, aswell as 

parts off asecond-hand bike. 

Mason used a4hp engine from an old water blaster.This engine required 

someservicing,asithad been sitting outside forsometime. 

The wheels have skid sleeves cut from 300mm PVC culvert pipe and this 

allows these machines to slide and drift atfairly low speeds. Nic has also 

fitted aturbocharger foralittle extraperformance! 

During this project students have earned NCEA credits in Hand tools, 

Fabrication and CADdrawing.

Our second urban bridgenow

LastThursday wasdefinitely a

thebattle forasecondurban

concerned. 

Government announced thatabridge 

to be built off ChalmersAvenue would 

be among14key road transport 

projects in the next three years. The 

fact that Nationalhas alsosaid it will 

build asecond bridgetheremeans that 

whoever is in powerafterthe General

bridge. 

And that should be musictothe ears of 

everyone who lives in the Ashburton 

district and those whopass throughit 

on aregularbasistodobusinessupand 

down theSouth Island. 

Iwas asked if thatwas likewinning 

the lottery–but this bridgehas not 

happened by chance. It has involved 

yearsofcommunity consultation, 

official hearings to designate landfor 

both the bridge and connectingroad 

on the Tinwald side,and countless 

hours and energyaround Council 

table debatinglocation, location and 

location. 

Both Labourand National havenow

Ashburton people arebeing urged 

to head to the hills at leastonce 

overthe next four days as the town

The party kicks off tonight with 

entertainment in Methven from 5pm, with

as the preferred location,and it willbe 

at no cost to ratepayers in the district. 

Thatwas alittle fundingicingonthe 

cake as the bridgehad been in our longterm

discussinghow to payfor it. 

The $113million estimated cost is

Old rural hallsready forremoval 

The disusedLynnford andMaronan 

community halls arebeing offered 

forpurchase and removalfrom 

Councilreserve land. 

Both halls areatleast 100years old and 

were once the hub of their communities 

–acting as places foreducation and 

recreation -but havebeen used little in 

the past decade or so. 

TheMaronan hall wasofficially closed in

“It’ssad that these old hallsare no 

longer used but over the yearsit’sbeen 

increasinglydifficult to findenough 

moneytodothe majorupgrading work 

required and so theyhavefalleninto 

disrepair. 

“Bringing theland under theHinds 

Reserve Boardhas helped the situation, 

but restoring thehalls to the standards 

required forpublic use is notsimply 

feasible. Theremay be people out there 

who would liketogivethem anew lease 

on life.” 

Tenders to remove thebuildings mustbe 

made by 29 September. 

The Maronan hall on Swamp Roadwas 

originally the Maronan School, built in 

1921. By theend of 1922,ithad aroll of 39

Lions members 

refurbish walkway 

BY JOHN PENEYCAD 

Methven LionsClub members 

haverecently completed a 

refurbishment of the Methven 

Walkway. 

Thewalkway was originally 

openedtothe public in 1979, 

but over the years had fallen 

into disrepair. It needed work 

to bothrejuvenate andextend 

the track. 

Near Opukehot pools, the 

pathwayhad become severely 

overgrown with branchesfrom 

nearby trees, reaching down 

very closetothe ground,posing 

apotentialhazard.The council 

stepped in to trim the branches 

back to eyelevel while Lions 

memberscompletedthe spruce 

up by trimmingbackfurtherto 

eliminate any overhanging 

branches and tidied up the 

area. Theyhave also replaced 

about seven fences andgatesin 

conjunction with thepathway. 

Thetrackreachesfrom 

adjacent to Mt HardingRd, 

across theRDR,down through 

town,alongthe perimeter of 

Camrose Estates,aroundthe 

MethvenA&P showgrounds, 

then intoMethvenCemetery. A 

total of 12.5km in walkway 

lengthhas now been 

completed. 

Members havereceived help 

fromlocalswhohave offered 

materials suchas shingle, 

eitherfreeoratacut price. 

Through the cemetery, the 

Lions have also begunan 

additionalproject of cleaning 

up headstones. 

There are attractions for 

childrenonthe walkway,in 

particular the pathsnamed The 

Enchanted Forest and 

Piwakawaka Walk makethe 

walk fun forthe whole family. 

For peoplewantingto give

pickedupfrom Methven ISite. 

Clubmember Mac McElwain 

said he waspleased with the 

progress anddelightedbyhow 

good the walkway waslooking. 

“We like to focus on one 

project at atime,toensureall 

our efforts go towards 

completioninan effective 

manner.The ideaistohave 

attractions forall yearround, 

and go beyondthe notion of 

Methven just beingaski 

village.’’

New licence 

for overseas 

anglers 

Complaints of overcrowding of 

anglers on rivers has led to 

overseas anglers having to pay 

for special fishing licences. 

This freshwater fishing 

season, which begins October 1, 

marks the introduction of the 

new licence, aimed at 

protecting New Zealand’s more 

fragile fisheries, often located 

in the backcountry. 

The Designated Waters 

Licence will apply to less than 

two per cent of rivers mostly in 

the South Island, none of which 

are in Mid Canterbury. 

Fish &Game NZ chief 

executive Corina Jordan said 

the new management tool 

would help Fish &Game 

manage angling pressure by 

spreading angling effort 

around. 

Over the past 10 years, Fish & 

Game had received increasing 

complaints from resident and 

nonresident anglers regarding 

overcrowding in asmall 

number of fisheries. 

The cost of the new licence is 

$40 per day for nonresidents, 

who are restricted to five days 

maximum for each designated 

water region. 

‘‘We really appreciate and 

value overseas anglers, the 

contribution they make to the 

economy, as well as our 

organisation through 

purchasing licences, which 

helps us protect waterways,’’ 

she said. 

Cabarnet II performers had aspecial guest in rehearsals, Tainui Kuru (fourth from right). The other performers are (from left) Tony 

Kelly, Toby Lee, Neil Flux, Dan Wilson, Luke Glendining with guitar, Heath Walters, Matt Williams and Chris Woods.

Plenty of character at speedway 

From Page 4 

The Ashburton Speedway 

club’s original race meetings in 

1969 were in apaddock at the 

property of Allan Deal on Fords 

Road, in Tinwald. 

Membership was set at $2. 

Power poles were used as 

safety barriers. They had really 

good crowds come out to 

support the meetings, former 

club member Pete Richards 

said. 

Richards started racing at 

Ashburton in his early 20s in a 

Mark II Zephyr. 

There was also amove to 

leased airport land at Seafield 

Road, next to the airport, in 

early 1970, he said. 

The club was later renamed 

Ashburton Speedway in the late 

70s, which sounded more 

professional. 

Committee member Tony 

Neil is aveteran 15 season 

commentator and believes he 

has the best seat in the house. 

He started racing at 

Ashburton in aDatsun 180B. He 

moved to the district in his 30s 

from Hawkes Bay. 

Both men agree drivers in the 

early days drove some crazily 

modified machines. 

In some cases exhaust pipes 

were protruding straight up 

from the motor, and most only 

had alap belt to hold them in 

their seats. 

They all had to have aroll bar 

and lap belt, which was the 

minimum standard back then, 

Richards said. 

Ashburton Speedway has a 

banked clay track which has 

undergone many improvements 

over the years. 

It is now ringed by aonemetre 

concrete wall and 10 foot 

high wire safety fence. 

It started as akidney shaped 

circuit marked out by logs, then 

ringed by aditch before ashift 

to filled tyres. 

In the early days the site was

surrounded by trees and 

paddocks. 

It’s now an open site mostly 

devoid of trees although many 

aircraft hangars have popped 

up on the airport grounds. 

The oval speedway circuit 

spans 402 metres on the pole 

line the inside edge of the 

track. 

Facilities include aclub 

house, commentary box, and 

fixed and portable ablution 

blocks. 

The club house walls are 

lined with memorabilia from 

over the years. 

Photographs, advertising 

posters, signed Tshirts and 

newspaper clippings highlight 

the club’s colourful history 

and its people. 

There is also amemorial wall 

of past members.

Less money, fewer roads

Fewer kilometresofroadwill be 

rebuilt in the districtthisyear, 

despite the council stumping up an 

extra$1million. 

There will be just8.9kmofsealed 

road rehabilitation completedin 

the2023/24 workprogramme. 

That’s down on the 13.8km 

completed lastyearand it’s due to 

onesimple fact “less money”, 

Ashburton District Council roading 

manager Mark Chamberlainsaid. 

Ashburton’s road maintenance 

contractors HEB told council in 

February that thedistrict has 

1613km of sealed roads which are 

designed to last25years, andthat 

there should be around 60km of 

road rebuilt each year. 

But the average over the past 12 

yearshas been around 10km. 

That leaves the council with the 

bigquestion of how to catch up on 

an overdue 600km and counting, 

without having to add adding $1m 

or more extra in rates each year. 

The Government has been 

increasingits investment into local 

roads everyyearbut “the costs are 

rising faster”tothe point where 

they have doubled in amatter of 

years, AshburtonMayor Neil 

Brown said. 

“A few years ago, it was about 

$150,000 per kilometreofnew road

Trying to make your home WARMER in 

the winter, COOLER in the summer? 

Single glazing is still the one of the greatest sources of heat loss in the 

home, upto50% of the total heat loss. Perhaps even worse if your old 

wooden opening windows do not have pressure seals when they are 

shut. 

Upgrading to double glazing will not only improve insulation but also 

reduce noise. 

For alimited time we are offering a FREE upgrade to Low Edouble 

glazing. Low Eislike amirror to heat which reflects what’s inyour room 

back in. It stays warmer for longer in the winter while during summer 

reflects the cold air from your heat pump back as well. It is about athird 

better than typical double glazing, but the same cost. 

Low Edouble glazing will make anoticeable difference to your living

GET READY WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 

NEWS 


23 

Have you got agrab bag? 

Ilook forward to delving into our district’s 

natural hazards and how we’re preparing 

for them in future columns. However, this 

month, Iwanted to promote one of the best 

emergency preparations you can have in 

place in the home, the “Grab Bag”. 

Most of us should already know the 

importance of having awellstocked 

emergency kit in the home, so you might be 

wondering why agrab bag would be 

required as well. 

Every emergency is different and 

assuming your house is structurally sound, 

sheltering at home is often the best 

response. 

In alarge disaster event, such as an 

Alpine Fault earthquake, your emergency 

kit will help you and your family get through 

the first week or two, until aid arrives to the 

region and services begin to be restored. 

However, in other situations such as a 

flooding event, you may need to selfevacuate 

or be ordered to evacuate your 

home on short notice. If this occurs, you 

won’t have time to run around the house 

finding items or packing the car. Apreprepared 

grab bag contains the essentials 

that will allow you to quickly get yourself 

and your family to asafe location. 

You might find yourself having to live out 

of your grab bag for afew days until it’s safe 

to return home or emergency services are 

able to get to you. 

So what should agrab bag contain? 

Torches and batteries. 

Radio (solar, wind up or battery 

powered). 

Hand sanitiser. 

Copies of important documents (online 

or paper). You can do this by taking aphoto 

or ascan of an important document on your 

smartphone. 

Walking shoes, warm clothes, raincoat 

and hat. 

First aid kit and prescription medicine. 

Water and snack food such as muesli 

bars (remember babies and pets too). 

Chargers for your phone and any other 

devices you may need. If your car has a12v 

power outlet or acigarette lighter, consider 

including aUSB phone charger which will 

plug in to it. 

If you can, ensure that everyone has easy 

access to agrab bag at home and knows 

where it’s located. Many people choose to 

store agrab bag in the car so they’re never 

far from it (including when they’re at work). 

If putting together agrab bag is out of 

reach right now, figure out what you’ve 

already got in your home, and know where 

these items are kept so you can grab them 

quickly. 

The items in your grab bag also count 

towards your stayathome emergency kit, so 

you don’t necessarily need to have multiple 

radios, firstaid kits etc.

emergency kits and being prepared, visit

wouldlead to ‘‘a greater pool

greater diversity of 

candidates and encourage 

more young people to stand. 

Cr JohnSunckell said STV 

did work across large

not serve the three rural

Using maths inthe real world: 

locals participate in Maths Week 

On Tuesday, 15 August, as part ofnational 

Maths Week, Geraldine Primary School 

invited several local parents to explain the use 

of maths in the real world to students. During 

the day, the entire school was transformed into 

ahands-on learning display. 

While the junior syndicate explored maths 

using water, sand and Lego to learn about 

capacity, logic and patterns, the middle and 

senior syndicates participated in the parentled 

presentations. 

Aaron Sheed, who loves a good 

whiteboard, explained to students, using 

groceries as props, how maths is used at 

FreshChoice. Aaron says, Its good for thekids 

to see me in adifferent light, and its agreat 

way to give back to the community. 

Beehives were brought along by Chad 

Tozer, who used his knowledge of beekeeping 

to explain the ratios of sugar to water used in 

feeding the bees. FonterrasTinaPirie brought 

bacteria in Petri dishes. She showed the 

children how to work out the average bacteria 

in the dish by using colonies. 

Timber boxing ishow local builder Aaron 

England showcased how maths is used in the 

building industry. Aaron says, Maths is my 

worst subject, but I wanted to show the 

children that the more you learn at school, the 

easier it makes it later on. Johnny Burnside 

wowed the students by bringing in his tractor 

with aseed drill attached. He demonstrated 

many examplesofthe involvement ofmathsin 

the farming industry. 

Principal Stu Wilcox says, Its agreat way 

to give our children the opportunity to see that 

maths is everywhere, and the connection and 

importance of maths in the world of work and 

practical aspects of everyday life. 

Other challenges posed during the week 

included: How many skips can Mr Wilcox do 

in one minute; if every child in the school 

stood side by side, how many metres long 

would the line be; and how many steps do you 

think Mr Campbell will do today? 

For the answer to these and many other 

maths questions, visit Geraldine Primary 

SchoolspageonFacebook. 

Maths Week was established bythe New 

ZealandAssociation of Mathematics Teachers 

in 1998. It is apremier mathematics event in 

the New Zealandschool calendar, gaining the 

attention of an estimated audience ofmore 

than 250,000 students, teachers and parents 

from around New Zealand. DEANNEMARSDEN

parents who made themselves 

available toshare the importance of

Speaking of community, 

construction on the long-awaited 

Geraldine Health Hub has finally 

begun (page 3) and John Shirtcliffs 

submission to Timaru District Council 

raises concerns (page 2). 

GNews Community (page 6) is really 

taking off, with all kinds of events 

worth noting. Remember, this is your 

free space totell us whats happening 

out there. On page 4, Tim Rimmer 

brings us up to speed with happenings 

at the Geraldine Community Gardens. 

The general election is just seven 

weeks away. To help us make informed 

decisions, Jan Finlayson has been out 

there asking questions; the candidate's 

answers will appear on these pages 

over the next few weeks (page 5).

John Shirtcliff contends more areas of Geraldine should beopened upfor housing. PHOTO: Facebook/Geraldine.nz 

Local concerned district plan based on out-of-date data 

Local business consultant John Shirtcliff is 

concerned that the future sustainability of 

Geraldine is compromisedbyplanning groupthink. 

In an article in the Timaru Herald 

(02.08.23), he describes his attempts to 

convince Timaru District Council of his views 

as like talking to aplank of wood. 

The core of his submission to the proposed 

plan is that the district plan is based on out-ofdate 

data. That data is also limited by the fact 

that statistics for Geraldine do not include the 

Downs or some other parts of the town. 

IN BRIEF 

He says that council takes adistrict-wide 

approach which does not recognise the 

granularity of different parts of the district. He 

claims that with a7.1 per cent increase in the 

number of dwellings in the five years to 2018 

and afurther estimated 6.7 per cent growth in 

the five years to 2023 compared toagrowth 

rate in Timaru of 4.2 per cent, the 

(inescapable) conclusion is that Geraldine is 

growing at arather faster rate than is the 

Timaru District as awhole. 

He urges planners to resist the temptation 

of being trapped by the sunk vision and cost 

of so-called experts. He hopes that those 

submitting to the plan or speaking to the plan 

will be aware of the issues that create 

dysfunction in theplanning.Hecontends that 

the future of Geraldine demands the opening 

up of more areas of land for housing. 

The relevant part of John Shirtcliffs 

submission is on the GNews Facebook page.

Henry Wynn doubles down for agood cause 

As far as the laws 

of mathematics 

refer to reality, 

theyare not certain, 

and as far as they 

are certain, they do 

not refer toreality. 

ALBERT EINSTEIN 

Three weeks ago, just as GNews was going 

to print, Henry Wynn was pleased to meet 

his fundraising goal to raise $500 for the 

Gumboot Friday charity and its Blonde 

Mullet Brigade Challenge (GNews 03.08.23). 

True to his word, Henry recently visited his 

AuntyKathrinetoreceivehis newhairstyle - 

abright pinkmullet. 

Henry says, I love having pink hair. 

Iwas abit nervous about the whole hairdying 

process, but its looking really great. 

Iamreally thankful for the support from 

everyone. Henrys mum, Amy, says, 

I couldn't be prouder of Henry and his 

efforts with his fundraising. He has done a 

great job and really suits his pink hair. 

Having reached the initial fundraising 

goal, Henry decided to attempt to double 

the money; his Givealittle page quickly 

reached that goal, raising $1,000. The 

charitycurrently spends $500,000 amonth 

providingfunding forunder-25-year-olds to 

receive free counselling sessions. The 

money Henry raised will fund seven 

counselling sessions for those who need 

them. ANNA VEAUX

On Monday morning, the Geraldine Health 

Hub project passed anotablemilestone as the 

former Geraldine Town and CountryClub site 

was handed over tocontractors Thompson 

Construction and Engineering for demolition 

of the existing buildings. Asmall ceremony 

was held at 8am at which the Rev Hugh 

McCafferty and Whaea Adelaide Couch-Snow 

led karakia and blessings. 

GeraldineDistrict Foundation Chair James 

(Jimmy) Wallace says, Its agreat day. This 

project has taken along time toget to this 

stage. At its instigation four years ago, the 

projects budget was two million dollars; now 

its five million. The price ofsteel alone has 

increased by30per cent. He says that the 

project was too big to finance with sausage 

sizzles, and is grateful to the number of 

trusts that have offered support. When we 

approached the Community Trust Mid and 

South Canterbury for help, we were surprised 

anddelightedthatthey cameonboard as equal 

partners. 

Anumber of changeshave been made to the 

plans to accommodate future tenants of the 

medical centre.Jimmysays they had to orient 

the building and plan the landscaping to 

accommodate cultural issues concerning the 

proximity of Geraldine FuneralServices. 

Wayne ODonnell says that the sitehas been 

used for many purposes, and he hopes the 

centre will revive the southern end of town. 

He says that as the building was to be 

demolished, the trustees of the Geraldine 

District Foundation were uncomfortable that 

perfectly good reusable items that could 

be repurposed and reused were about to 

becomelandfill. 

Wayne says, We spoke with community 

groups to see if they would be interested in 

removing reusable items from the site to 

repurpose within clubsand groups throughout 

Geraldine. The Geraldine Mens Shed, 

Geraldine District Golf Club, Geraldine 

Vintage Car and Machinery Club and the 

Geraldine Academy of Performance and Arts 

were among those who tookupthe offer. 

These gifts of items for repurposing 

also fulfil the ethos of the Geraldine 

District Foundation to benefit the Geraldine 

Community. 

The Geraldine Town and Country Club sign 

has been rehomed at the Geraldine Vintage Car 

and Machinery Club, which will allow its 

historical significance ofanearlier era to be 

remembered.

COMMUNITY REPORT 

Well, folks, are weall so happy to 

be welcoming spring back into our 

wintry-encased lives? I know Iam 

receiving the daily pleasure ofhearing 

the change inbird song and 

welcoming the additional light at the 

end of my day. Ihope you are too. 

Last week we had our operational 

and governance meetings. These 

meetings involve ateam of hardworking 

and some voluntary, people 

who are dedicated to this project. 

Note to self: must get aphoto of the 

team next time we meet so Ican 

introduce you to them. 

The outcomes and actions that are 

derived from these meetings keep this 

project moving forward. It gives me 

tremendous pleasure toadvise we 

have some green light areas of 

funding which will see the wheels put 

in motion for the design stage of 

signage for Loop 1and 2. Iamalso in 

the throes of putting together other 

applications for funding for ahard 

landscaping element. Wehave a 

sub-committee for this area, as 

expertise and experience are 

necessary toensure wehave the 

best outcome. 

Timaru District Council is working 

on the boardwalk element which is 

asignificant project initself. We 

congratulate that team on their 

progress to date -Iwill keep you 

informed of the progress. As you may 

be aware, there isalot of work behind 

the scenes prior to seeing actual turf 

being turned. 

Maintenance teams are hard at 

work on the trail, keeping leaves clear 

and other detailed work as required to 

keep it maintained to the highest 

standard for you all to enjoy. Youmay

Community gardens to expand thanks to council 

The Geraldine Community Gardens has been 

going for over 11 years. During that time, many 

folks of all ages have worked there: locals, 

visitors, woofers, schoolchildren, retirees, and 

more. 

Currently, the garden is tended by acore 

group of 10 volunteers. We developed aset of 

core values and guidelines that we endeavour 

to follow without being overly rigid about 

them. When it comes to decisions, weuse a 

consensus approach. 

Our primary focus continues to be the 

raising, planting and harvesting of a wide 

range of vegetables with an emphasis on fresh 

greens, root crops, potatoesand brassicas. This 

produce is harvestedonThursdays and placed 

in the fridge at the gate. When the season is 

in full swing, alot of vegetables travel from 

garden to fridge to awide variety of people 

who come to collect the free produce in cars, 

on bikes, or on foot. The food produced has 

andcontinues to help locals and visitorsalike. 

Another activity involves growing refugee 

native plants donated by local gardeners and 

businesses. We use these plants after ayear or 

two to strengthen, enhance,and start riparian 

zones on local farmland. Over the last six 

years, six plantings (100-200 plants) have 

been undertaken. Such plantings are 

facilitated by a growing and collegial 

relationship we now have with several local 

farmers. 

Over the years, we have also run several 

workshops on topics such as composting, 

pruning,biocharmaking and home mushroom 

growing. All have been well attended (gold 

Karen Woodhall: craft has endless possibilities

Woodhall established aworking and teaching 

studio after moving to Geraldine two years

crafts, starting with a polymer clay house 

button session on 31 August. 

Developing polymer clay techniques while 

studying for her Advanced Diploma of Visual 

Arts and Design in Canberra, she says, Ive 

done jewellery, beads, mosaic wall hangings, 

figurines, buttons, brooches. The clay is very 

versatile. Its very colourful and easy to shape 

and mould, and you bake it so its lasting.

Our current projects include streamlining 

composting, growing more veggies under 

cover, re-purposing an old greenhouse and 

building anoticeboard. 

We are thankful for the ongoing support 

frommanysources, especially Timaru District 

Council (TDC), CORDE, Rosies, Geraldine 

Signs, the Mens Shed, ZGeraldine and many 

kind individuals. 

In the near future, some engineering works 

willbeundertakenbycontractors to TDC. This 

will affect some of our spring plantings. 

However, after the works are completed, we 

will have more space and some new raised 

beds to grow more food. Heres to agreat

Karen says she has always been acrafter. 

She moved naturally into teaching the skills 

she loves, first to her children and, later, the 

wider world. Crafting isfun. Its relaxing. 

There are endless possibilities. She says,

GENERAL ELECTION 2023 

GNews is featuring Waitaki and Rangitātā electorate candidates in the weeks leading up to the 14 October general election. 

Green Party: Pleasance Hansen 

Pleasance Hansen is the GreenPartys Waitaki 

electorate candidate. Shes aleadership coach 

with abackground that includes growing up on 

adairy farm,driving buses, and teaching. 

What is your top priority this General 

Election? 

To bring the focus back to the environment 

and nature. Webelieve and know that we 

depend on nature for our economy. Theyre 

inextricably linked. Related to that, its about 

helping New Zealand meet its commitment to 

halting our emissions by 2030. 

How will your party make housing more 

available? 

We want to support first home buyers 

financially, and we would put in healthy air 

standards -proper ventilation in every home - 

within the first 100 days. We want to halt the 

exorbitantrise inrents; tokeep it below three 

per cent rise per year. And tointroduce a 

warrantoffitness for landlords and landladies. 

Whatwill improve New Zealands delivery 

in the health sector? 

The Green Party believes the rural sector is 

poorlyserved. We want to increase funding for 

Pharmac, and we want to hear what our rural 

people need as health priorities. We would be 

led by what thecommunitytells us; thats how 

theGreens work. 

New Zealand students performance in 

reading, maths, and science in PISA 

[Programme for International Student 

Assessment run by the OECD] shows 

longer-term decline. How will your party 

address this? 

Teachers need good working conditions, 

which are the working environment for 

children. Wewant school lunches for every 

kid. We were pleased to see physics, chemistry, 

and biology put back into the draft science 

curriculum. Reading and maths and science 

are still the fundamentals Lets go backand 

look at what we were doing exceptionally well 

when we had someofthehigheststandardsof 

literacy in the world. 

What are the main issues confronting the 

primary sector? 

One ofthe biggest issues isthe crippling 

debt they [farmers] carry. We want to 

negotiate with banks to change their financial 

structures toget lower interest loans to help 

farmers. New Zealand is dependent on 

farming. Also, we want to help farmers 

transition to awiderrange ofincome streams, 

with afocus on regenerative farming. 

What is your party offering that will 

improve the lives ofpeople inGeraldine? 

We need to encourage slow tourism: for 

people to come to Geraldine and stay for a 

couple of days.Its better for the environment 

and the local economy. We are committed to 

extending Jobs for Nature; we are also 

committed to becoming predator-free by 

2050. Theyre commitments tothe natural 

environment that will improve life for people. 

And the healthy air standards will improve 

peoples lives Our guaranteed minimum 

incomewould give $64per month to everyone 

on aGoldCard.

DemocracyNZ: Roger Small 

DemocracyNZs Waitaki electorate candidate 

is Waimate farmer Roger Small. He has a 

cropping and lamb fattening operation and 

chairs the Waihou Wainono Catchment 

Community Group. 

What is your top priority this General 

Election? 

Im very concerned about centralisation and 

loss of democracy for our small communities. 

Especiallyaround Three Watersand theNatural 

and Built Environment Bill. Also, the Bill of 

Rights;wewant to see it preserved andprotected 

and madestronger than it currentlyis. Andwed 

like to see race taken out ofeverything and for 

everything tobebased on need; for us all to be 

treated as one andnot divided. 

How will your party make housing more 

available? 

Theres a lack of rental properties for 

workers. The tenancy laws are verystrong, and 

they almost favour the tenant rather than the 

property owner. Theres noincentive for the 

property ownertorent thepropertiesout. We 

would make itso that the law was fair to both 

parties.And wedsee more houses built where 

theyre needed; thats for the private sector. 

What will improve New Zealands delivery 

in the health sector? 

We need tohave more nurses and doctors 

being trained. Quotasaround ethnicities need 

to stop. Also, we need to get away from the 

dual health authorities and treat us as one. We 

want to see prioritygiven to the front line. We 

would like to see more emphasis on a 

preventative and holistic approach to health. 

New Zealand students performance in 

reading, maths, and science in PISA 

(Programme for International Student 

Assessment run by the OECD] shows 

longer-term decline. How will your party 

address this? 

We want the education system toget back 

to basics: reading, writing,and arithmetic. And 

pathways to employment so students arent 

doing extra subjects thatdont helpthemwhen 

they get into the real world. They should be 

learning about managing finances and how to 

go down pathways theyre interested in. The 

whole schooling thing has got to be practical; 

aplace theyd like togoand learn and feel 

empowered so that itsgiving them adirection 

in life. 

What are the main issues confronting the 

primary sector? 

The loss of property rights for farmers and 

landowners through SNAs [Significant Natural 

Areas] aswell asthe National Policy Statement 

for[Indigenous] Biodiversity, the Sites andAreas 

of Significance to Maori, andthe NationalPolicy 

Statement for Freshwater [Management]. The 

RMA [ResourceManagement Act 1991] needsto 

be reformed. 

We would repeal and replace the 2002 

Carbon [ClimateChange] ResponseAct.Theres 

focus on tree planting, but alot of the land is 

good productive land, and some has alot of 

biodiversity. We think we should focusonbeing 

resilientand adapting to weatherevents. Were 

not going to change the climate here inNew 

Zealand. [Our] farmers are very efficient at 

producing food for the world, and ifwestop 

production, countrieslessefficient than ourswill 

fill thevoid,which willhaveawarmingeffect. 

What is your party offering that will 

improve the lives of people in Geraldine? 

We need to reduce inflation. And we need 

to make sure the people can have involvement 

in the things that affect Geraldine. We would 

make sure funds are going to the right places; 

for health services and other things the 

community needs.

BOMBERS STRIKE STRATEGICALLY TO END METHVEN HOPES 


Methven 1VFCTwenty Bombers 3 

MethvenMountaineersreturned to 

action at theweekend after atwo 

weeklay off andwereback in familiar 

surroundingsofthe MethvenDomain, 

or as some like to callit, ‘theBowling 

Alley’. 

The home side gotoff to theworst 

possible start,conceding fromalow

Methvenslowly begantogrow into 

the matchbut the two weekbreakwas 

definitely takingits toll, withthe side 

finding it hard to get intorhythm. 

Afew personnel changesfrom 

coach Marc Davies appearedtoshed 

somenew beliefinto theteam and 

suddenly opportunitiesstartedto 

appear. 

Anew sense of confidence filtered 

throughoutthe team and muchofthe 

first half wasplayedinthe Bombers 

half. 

Eventuallytheirpersistence paid 

off when aJan Luccini corner was 

floatedintothe boxfor the unmarked

equaliser, 11. 

The secondhalfproduced muchthe 

same, with Methvenshowing more 

technicalabilitythan their 

counterparts. 

However, they failed to reallydrive 

the sword intotheir opponentsand 

decent chanceswent begging. 

In the end it would be theBombers 

who would take the initiative and 

stick their noses in front again. 

The Bombers striker dribbled his 

way throughthe heart of the Methven 

defence to eventually caress the ball 

beyondthe outstretchedkeeper,

retiring but will remain fully 

licenced so he can help outat 

Property Brokers if required. 

He hadnever had aset date 

forhis retirement. Althoughhe 

did start planning foranexit 

aboutfive years agowhen asa 

way to grow the company the 

ownersofHastingsMcLeod 

enteredafranchise agreement 

with Property Brokers. 

‘‘They were aNorthIslandwide 

real estate group with 

whomwehad avery strong 

association via NZ Realtors, a 

group of independentreal 

estate companieswhich 

includes the likes of Barfoot 

and Thompson in the Auckland 

region, Tommys around 

Wellington,Lodge in the 

Waikato plusnumerous others. 

‘‘Wewerealready friends in 

business,’’ he said. 

He wasworking at Hastings 

McLeod, which was founded by 

the late Colin McLeod andJohn 

Hastings in 1974,and bought 

shares in thecompany with 

others in 2002 following Colin’s 

death. 

‘‘HastingsMcLeodwas awellknown 

trusted brand locally but 

it didn’t mean anything in other 

locations so it was difficult to 

headthe national franchise 

groups in settingup business 

and attract high quality staff. 

‘‘Wefranchised to Property 

Brokers ... we ended up with 13 

offices and about 100 staff.’’ 

‘‘PropertyBrokers were 

really wellknown in the North 

Island with 30 offices, less wellknown 

down here. Wewerethe 

marketfor them to expand from 

and they have done that with 30 

offices in the South Island now. 

We couldn’t havedone that, we 

didn’t have the capital.’’ 

He hasworkedwithsome top 

ruralrealtors such as Chris 

Murdoch, Greg Jopsonand the 

lateRodgerLetham.All have 

beennationally recognised. 

Cunneen’s plan five years ago 

was to start moving awayfrom 

an ownership, management, 

sales person model. 

‘‘It was too much anyway and 

Ifound my timewas not my own 

wearing so many hats alongside 

running my ownvaluation 

business. 

‘‘I wasjustdoing toomuch. So 

the last three yearsin 

particular Ihavebeen outof 

management, concentrating on 

selling andthe valuation 

business, (and have been) just 

slowly figuring out what Iwant 

to do.’’ 

Cunneen startedhiswork

andlows 

Paul Cunneen. 

support the agricultural 

industry. 

He landed arole in 

Ashburtonand played rugby for 

AshburtonTechnical, later 

Collegiate, as flanker. 

He playedmorethan 120 

games for Mid Canterbury. 

He was in the MidCanterbury 

team to play theBritish and 

Irish Lions in 1983. 

Cunneenwas approached 

after the game by LionRobert 

Ackerman and invited to play 

for his LondonWelsh Rugby 

Football Clubside. 

He took up theoffer andwas 

contracted for twoseasons to 

playinEngland. 

He said he found his way into 

real estate by accident. 

‘‘I had just returned (to 

Ashburton) after acouple of 

years playing rugby overseas. 

The RuralBankhadsaidthey 

wouldhold my job. 

‘‘WhenIcame back they 

wantedmetoshift to Rangiora 

but my fiancé (andlatefirst 

wifeMarene) lived in 

Ashburton. Shiftingwas 

unattractive.’’ 

He left the banking industry 

and after afew months doing 

odd jobs he was approached by 

seasoned realtorsPhil 

McGoldrick andColin McLeod. 

By then McGoldrick was also a 

partnerinthe firm. 

It was 1984 andit was tough 

going to start. 

‘‘It was alot differenttowhat 

Ithought. Iwas arural agent so 

Idid farmsand lifestyleblocks 

❛On the outside 

looking in, in all parts 

of real estate, it looks 

likeasimple 

business.Iwishit 

was like that. There is 

alotofresource that 

goes in behindthe 

scenes ... ❜ 

—PaulCunneen 

and the farming scenewasn’t 

going particularly wellatthat 

stage. 

‘‘Mid Canterbury wasinthe 

midst of adrought andinterest 

rates werereallyhigh. It seems 

unbelievable now, butsome 

were paying above20per cent 

on amortgage.’’ 

Cunneen, then aged26, had a 

steep learning curve and, at 

times, questioned his career 

decision. 

‘‘Colin,Johnand Philwere 

greatbosses. They were really 

skilledatwhattheydid, and 

really supportive.’’ 

He also credits colleague 

Ralph Bassett, who was 

formerly in insurance,for his 

guidance. 

‘‘Hequietlysteeredmeinthe 

rightdirection. Ralph was 

really,really good at 

prospecting side of things 

because being an insurance 

agent he had done lots of it.’’ 

There were aroundeight 

realtors at the firm to start. 

While the urban sales team was 

growing, the rural team of two 

wasthenhit by the illnessof 

Alister Blue, which saw 

Cunneen as the only rural agent 

in thefirm for quite sometime. 

‘‘It was abit of an oddity in 

those days because the stock 

firmsgenerally sold the farms. 

‘‘Therewas myself, and 

Gordon McGregor juniorwho 

werethe only independents.’’ 

In the firstthreeyears 

Cunneen was in realestate, only 

11 farmsweresold in the district; 

just onewas his,althoughhedid 

sell lifestyle blocks. 

‘‘The same period thenext year 

Iwas probably selling close to 60 

to 70per cent of everythingthat 

sold,intermsoffarms as we as a 

firmincreased our presenceand 

the hardtimes saw farmers 

becomeless enamouredwith 

stockfirms. 

‘‘Likewise there were a 

number of stock and grainagents 

who left the larger firms and 

startedtheir own businesses 

doingexceptionally well .’’ 

He said it wasn’t easyfor 

farmers. 

Times were tough, interest 

rateswere high and therewas no 

rain. 

Thecounty wasn’t as irrigated 

as it is now, he said. 

‘‘Irrigation wasstillgrowing, 

and predominantly borderdyked 

with somespray irrigatedfarms 

from groundwater in areas 

outside the Community 

Irrigation Schemes. 

‘‘That sort of changed the 

countybut it also increased the 

debt. 

‘‘Then when productprices 

dippedand interest rates got up 

around sort of 15 to 20 percent it 

really tested some, particularly 

people who hadrecently 

developedand had borrowed the 

money to do it.’’ 

The Government had 

promoted irrigationthrough 

MAFwith fielddaysand 

subsidies to encourage peopleto

He saidsomeold family farms 

whohad opted to develop were 

affected and put on the market, 

but there were also somewho 

throughage and stage of theirlife 

chosetosell. 

‘‘Farm succession was harder 

because of the high interest rates. 

It wasn’t always practicalor 

attractive for their family 

memberstotake over,’’ he said. 

Nowadays the markets are alot 

different. 

‘‘Most placesinMid 

Canterbury are reallydeveloped 

to their currentpotential, or 

close to it. 

‘‘Weare seeing alot more 

corporate farming.’’ 

Familysuccession has also 

changed. 

‘‘There’s anumberoffamilies 

around the districtwhichhave 

grown exponentially over thelast 

20 years in termsoftheir farm 

holdings, and where their 

children wanttogofarming, have 

triedtoaccommodate that.’’ 

Farm salesgoincycles,he 

said. 

‘‘Thingschange with 

economics... nothing canever be 

taken as agiven.’’ 

Cunneen saidthereare two 

sides to being agoodreal estate 

agent finding the listings 

through buildingrelationships 

with people,and thenmarketing, 

negotiation andbringingthe deal 

together. He is extremely 

thankful for that supportboth 

personally and professionally. 

‘‘On the outsidelookingin, in 

all parts of real estate, it looks 

likeasimple business. Iwish it 

waslike that.There is alot of 

resource that goesinbehind the 

scenes,particularly with the 

consents required to farm, 

alongsidefarmenvironmental 

information.Alot more 

information is required to puta 

transaction together. 

‘‘You’ve got to really 

understand what makes the farm 

click.’’ 

Overall he said he had loved 

his career, with everyday being 

different andnever knowing 

what each daymight bring. 

It was ‘‘a bit likegoingtothe 

races everyday’’,hesaid.

Schools count cost of cleaner energy 

BY JONATHAN LEASK 


Fossilfuelburners are on the 

wayout, butschool principals 

fear theirelectricity bills willbe 

on the way up. 

And thatmeanscutting costs 

elsewhere. 

In the shift to cleaner energy 

use andreducing emissions, 

schools across the country are 

phasingout theirold boiler 

heatingsystemsand replacing 

themwith modern electricheat 

pumps. 

In Mid Canterbury severalstill 

relyonboiler heating, but are 

makingthe transition. 

Ashburton College currently 

usesacoalfired boiler toprovide 

itswinter heating butthat’s all 

about to change as part of the 

college’s $62mrebuild, principal 

Ross Preece said. 

“Ournew centrally controlled 

systemiselectric powered with 

piping throughout the new 

campus. We are worriedthat our 

power usagewillgreatly increase 

once this comes on stream.” 

That’s becauseaswell as 

heatinginwinter, it will allow the 

collegetocool classroomsinthe 

summermonths. 

“Almostcertainly we will have 

an increaseduse of electricityin 

future yearswherethe school 

can be heated and cooled. 

“Ournew build does come with 

brand newinsulationand double 

glazingthroughout which willof 

course improveour energy 

efficiency.” 

The college currently spends 

around$200,000 on electricity 

and any increase will impact 

operatingbudgets,Preece said. 

“Youget aheat, lightand water 

grant and ask for thattobe 

reviewedbut it’snever enough. 

Apart from teachers’ salaries 

which are centrallyfunded, 

everything else goes into the one 

pot. 

“If you arepaying$200,000for 

power and it goes up $10,000, 

that’s $10,000lessyou havefor 

computers, toilet rolls, teacher 

aides. 

“As aschool, you have to 

decide yourprioritiesand 

electricity is rightupthere.” 

What thecostdifferencewill 

be is unknown at this stage but 

the costsofrunning both will 

cometoahead over thenexttwo 

years, he said. 

The college’s new32classroom 

Rangitata block is scheduled to 

be ready forthe start of term 1 

Above, Ashburton College’s

Intermediate School’s Brent

next year and then work will 

begin on the yettobenamed 

block 2, also32classroom spaces, 

whichisscheduled to be 

completed by the end of 2024. 

Thecoalboilerisscheduledto 

be decommissionedin2025. 

“Until the second blockis 

completed we will be forced to 

rundual heating systems. The 

Rangitatablock is runbythe new 

systembut theremaining blocks 

will stillneed to be heatedbythe 

boiler." 

Ashburton College is the only 

schoolinthe district with acoal 

boiler and its transition to 

cleanerenergyisaided by the 

MinistryofEducation(MOE) 

fundedrebuild, and funding from 

theCoalBoiler Replacement 

Programme. 

Noteveryoneisasfortunate. 

Schools not subject to rebuilds 

or have otherfossil fuel boilers 

do not receiveany additional 

support fromthe ministry to 

accelerate atransition from 

fossil fuelstocleanenergy, Mt 

Hutt College principal Jack 

Saxonsaid. 

Mt HuttCollege stillrunsa 

diesel boilertoheat around85 

percentofthe school. 

“The school footprint we use 

the boilerfor has beenslowly 

decreasingover the lastfour 

years as we transitiontoair 

conditioning units across the 

school. 

“Over the lasttwo years,we 

havehad student project groups 

shaping up acommunity driveto 

install solarpanelsinthe school. 

Thisdrive is scheduled to start in 

term 3. 

“Theinstallation of solar 

would provide afoundation fora 

significant move to A/C units over 

the next five years.” 

The ministry is currently 

focused on the transitionaway 

from coal but is considering 

widening the scope, 

infrastructure anddigital leader 

Scott Evans said. 

“We’re considering 

undertaking the replacementofa 

small numberofdieselboilers at 

some schools nationally as apilot 

to better understand the costs 

associatedwith replacingdiesel 

boilers and inform future 

planning. 

“Aspartofour commitmentto 

address climate change, we are 

prioritising investment in areas 

where we canachieve the most 

significantcarbonreductions, 

particularly those that remove 

fossilfuels and reduce energy 

useinschools.” 

Twoother MidCanterbury 

school sites havealso made 

majorsteps to loweremissions 

through rebuilds. 

AshburtonIntermediate’s 

diesel boiler willbe 

decommissioned at theend ofthe 

year,pending the demolition of 

its twostoreyblock whichhouses 

the boiler, principalBrentGray 

said. 

“Fromthen on, theschoolwill 

be heatedvia heat pump systems 

which are goinginaspartofour 

rebuild work.” 

Allenton School hascompleted 

atransitiontoheat pumps but its 

old boilerremainsonsite, 

principalAndrewLevertonsaid. 

“It's been disconnected, but 

currentlywehave noplans to 

remove the boiler. This willcome 

at asubstantial cost, so for now, 

it's justsittingthere.” 

NetherbyprincipalPhil 

Wheeler has finalisedplans to 

replaceits existing diesel boiler. 

It needsafurther eightheat 

pumps at acost of about $30,000 

to heat the school classrooms, 

breakoutspaces, and staff room. 

The alternativeisreplacingthe 

diesel burnerand tank for$7500 

plus installation costs to heat the 

samearea of theschoolusing 

around 1200litres of diesel a 

year,hesaid. 

Therewould also be acost to 

decommission andremove the 

existing diesel heater. 

Wheelerwas “at this point 

goingwith the heat pumpoption” 

because it offeredmoreheating 

and cooling flexibility. 

He raised concerns about the 

actualemissions savings the 

clean energytransition would 

have based on howthe energy is 

generated –replacing his fossil 

fuel boilerfor electricity 

generatedbythe burning of gas, 

biomass,orcoalelsewhere. 

Wheelerhas appliedtwice to a 

contestablefundfor solar panels 

and has been unsuccessful both 

times, which is “disappointing 

given we are anorthfacing 

school thatcapturessomuch 

sunshine”. 

The samecan be said for the 

intermediate and college 

rebuilds.
