Three food caravan vendors
have joined forces to present to
Ashburton its own mini
outdoor food court each
Friday.
Johnatello’s Pizza Inferno,
Azteca Tacos and Bangkok Wok
open alongside each other on
East St at the Ashburton clock
tower, Baring Square East,
from noon to 8pm.
They say the square is a
picturesque spot, in front of the
newly completed Te Whare
Whakatere, for their customers
to sit and dine if they wish.
There is even music, as one

of them has atrack of songs
quietly playing through a
bluetooth speaker nearby.
Johnatello’s vendor Jon
Peneycad said the three
caravans had been opening
alongside each other since the
beginning of this month.
‘‘We have gone all right, it
gets busier in the evening,
that’s when it takes off,’’
Peneycad said.
He said outdoor food courts
created by food caravans
opening
alongside each other was
growing in popularity
worldwide. Food caravans did
not have the overheads of
restaurants, so could offer
cheaper meals, and when they
opened together there was the
advantage of awide range of
cuisine being offered in asmall
area.
The Friday Food Court
would hopefully become more
popular with longer days and
warmer weather over spring
and summer.
‘‘The aim is for it to become a
bit of an event in itself.’’
Azteca Tacos vendor Ben
Heaton said the number of
customers was increasing as
more people got to know about
it. ‘‘The three varieties of food
go well together.’’

Barking dog battle over
SUSAN.SANDYS
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz
Along­running battle over abarking
dog on McDonald St has finally come
to an end.
Neighbours who have complained
about the Staffy Americanand
French bulldog cross, named Nico,
barking and howling, are relieved he
has been voluntarily relinquishedto
the district council.
The district council will now
rehome Nico with the help of
DogWatch in Christchurch.
Neighbour Christine Sanderson
said it was ‘‘wonderful news’’.
‘‘I’m thrilled for the dog and
everybody else concerned,’’ she said.
The other neighbour who has also
repeatedly complainedtothe district
council, but does not want to be
named, said he and his wife were also
pleased.
‘‘We hope the dog ends up with a
loving family that gives him the
attention that is needed,’’ he said.
Group manager compliance and
development Ian Hyde said the
district council had made the offer of
rehoming to the dog’s owner ‘‘as a
way to facilitate asolution to this
long­standing matter’’.
The dog’s owner, Sami Palavi, had
acceptedthe offer.
‘‘While we wouldn’t normally
receive adog this way, we’ll begin the
processofrehomingitwith the help
of DogWatch in Christchurch,’’ Hyde
said.
Palavi said he had relinquished
Nicobecause he was moving to a
rental property in Christchurch,
where he was not allowed to have
pets.
‘‘I love him and my kids love him
too, it’s very sad for us to let him go,’’
Palavi said.
He owned the Ashburton home
where he was now living, and thought
he might one day return and perhaps

even get Nico back.
Both Palavi and the district council

barking and howling. District council
staffand their animal control officers

than 200 times to monitor noise since
March last year.

Fewer potholes in district
BY JONATHAN LEASK
Local democracyreporter
The number of potholes needing fixed
in Mid Canterburyisdecreasing, says
the region's road contractor.
In apresentation to the district
council, HEB’s South Island regional
manager Lee Hautler said it was due to
adrier year and additional funding.
HEB, which holds the maintenance
contract for the district council’s
network, said it had so farpatched 3292
potholes in 2024. That compares to 8406
in 2023, and awhopping 12,607 in 2022
on the back of the Canterbury floods.
HEB's Ashburton maintenance
contract manager James Faber said a
changeinmethodology around
patching potholes was also reaping
rewards.
But even with increases in funding
towards road rehabilitation and
reseals, there remained alot of cracks
and sections needing new pavement
across the ageing network, Faber said.
She wanted the district council to
issue an abatement notice to the
dog’s owner, which would have
forced him to take action to stop the
barking.
Christine learned for the first time
about the dog no longer being at the
address when The AshburtonCourier
contacted her on Monday.
She had noticed the dog wasn’t
there over the weekend, but was not
sure where it had gone.
Meanwhile, acomplaint from
Christine about the alleged inaction
on behalf of the district council
remains before the Ombudsman.
‘‘It will still be alot of years and alot of
investment before we get the
Ashburton network up to standard.”

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz

Cancer Society’s major
annual fundraiser, Daffodil
Day, tomorrow.
Ashburton branch
community co­ordinator
Nicole Molloy said it would be

It would be achance to raise

Vintage Car Club, Ashburton, member
Murray Nelson was among the volunteers
this week delivering the fresh cut yellow

members, in their classic vehicles, drove
volunteers around and helped deliver
the blooms.
‘‘I had 14 Cancer Society volunteers

Footrot Flats tickets selling fast
Methven Theatre Company
members say everything is
coming together perfectly as
they prepare to stage Footrot
Flats.
The musical opens on
Thursday next week at the Mt
Hutt Memorial Hall.
Sixteen thespians have
been rehearsing since June to
bring the iconic comic book
characters to life.
Company stalwarts Matt
Markham and Linda Young
are director and musical
director respectively.
‘‘We’re really happy with
how things are progressing,’’
Markham said.
‘‘While adifferent storyline
to the Footrots Flats movie,
we promise it is equally
hilarious.’’
Playing Wal is Jason Ree,
appearing in his eighth show
with Methven Theatre
Company, while his university
student son Jake Ree plays
Cooch.
‘‘The biggest challenge is
the lines, lots and lots of lines.
Oh, and songs. Lots and lots of
‘HILARIOUS’:

songs,’’ Jason said.
Jake said being
involved had been
agreat way to have
fun while he’s
back in Methven.
And it gave him the
pleasure of
verbally sparring
on stage with his
dad.
Shyan Hughes, who plays
Pongo, said the dry humour of
the cartoon series attracted
her to audition.
“I feel this character was
written for me. She's cheeky, a
bit bratty, and sometimes...
twists the truth atad. And
never wears shoes,” Hughes
said.
The show features all kinds
of hi­jinks as Cooch, along
with Dog and Aunt Dolly, try
to save Wal from being wooed
away from his farm by the
voluptuous Cheeky Hobson.
Markham said tickets were
selling fast.
‘‘Much more so than for the
previous two years, which we
put down to the iconic status
of Footrot Flats and its wide
appeal to all ages.’’
Footrot Flats opens
September 5atthe Mt Hutt
Memorial Hall and runs for
three nights to September 7.
Tickets at Cafe 45 in
Methven (cash only) or book
via Ashburton Event Centre,
ticket office or online.

BIRD OF THE YEAR
After last year’s pūteketeke
pandemonium, who will take out
this year’s Bird of the Year?

of the Century title. The species
became famous for its unique
attributes including its burnt

The future of a145­year­old

Anglican Archdeacon of Mid
Canterbury, Reverend Indrea
Alexander, said it was due to
small attendances at St
Andrew’s that the vestry held a
special meeting last month.
‘‘The question about closing
the church had come to ahead
due to small numbers at
worship, and the even smaller
number of people carrying
responsibilities there,’’
Alexander said.
‘‘People at the meeting talked
about the special place St
Andrew’s had in their hearts
and families.
‘‘The meeting recommended
to vestry that if St Andrew’s is
sold, proceeds be used to extend
or improve the hall.’’
No decision had been made
on its future at this stage, but it
was decided to reduce services
there from every Sunday to two
per month.

Excitement is building for acentennial
weekend to be held in July next year by
Hampstead Rugby Club.
Club president Jim Henderson said
over the 100­year life time of the club,
there had been many generations of
families playing and involved behind
the scenes.
At the same time, the club had astrong
focus on providing awelcoming
community for new arrivals to Mid
Canterbury. Agrowing number of
Pacific Island families now call the club
home.
The club had grown in numbers, and
prior to the centennial a$100,000
upgrade of the club building was
planned.
‘‘With agrowth, especially in the
junior grades, and more families
gathering for kai after the games, the
club realises there is aneed to extend
the kitchen to assist with the catering
and make it more functional,’’
Henderson said.
Alongside this, there would be a
reduction in the size of the bar.
This was in response to changes in
drinking patterns, and because club
members wanted to emphasise the
club’s family focus.
‘‘Our values of fun, family and respect
has helped the club grow and prosper
over recent years,’’ he said.
Henderson said he and wife Tracey,
❛Our values of fun, family

who is club treasurer, represented one
of the many families who had been
involved with the club.
‘‘Our blended family have all played a
wee bit for the club, and also been
involved in administration, coaching
and volunteering,’’ Henderson said.
Tracey is the driving force behind the
alterations.
‘‘The main fundraiser for the
alterations is the raffling of a2024
Nissan Qashqui along with three other
prizes. The raffle is expected to
generate about $40k,’’ Tracey said.
‘‘With the club centennial next year
this has motivated us to do the upgrade
to the original clubrooms that was built
in 1978,’’ Tracey said.
The social area of the club rooms in
Bridge St were added in 1989 following
the club winning Lotto.

Farewell to true
blue detective
Like all good investigators,
Canterbury Detective Craig Clare
had the passion and tenacity to
see things through.
He loved his family, his friends
and his job; proudly serving 30
years with the New Zealand
police, 20 of those in the CIB.
Tragically, no amount of
passion or tenacity was enough to
see Craig through his greatest
trial, and on August 4, after an
illness, he died aged 55.
Craig joined the police in 1994
as amember of Recruit Wing 150.
He spent his early years in the
job in Counties Manukau, before
transferring to Canterburyin
1998.
In 2006, he qualified as a
detective and for the last eight
years worked in Ashburton CIB.
Policing runs in Craig’s family
and as ayoung man, it was aridealong
with his uncle, Rob
Robinson (who went on to
become the 29th Commissioner
of Police), that cemented his
decision to join.
Speaking at Craig’s funeral in
Ashburton, Rob said he was
proud of Craig when he chose a
police career.
“He followed in the footsteps of
his direct ancestors as far back as
the mid­1800s in Northern
Ireland, where his fifth and sixth
generation grandfatherswere a
constable and superintendent
respectively.
“Just as Iwas proud of Craig’s
Detective Craig Clare and his
wife Lani on arecent trip to
Aoraki Mount Cook. PHOTO POLICE
police service, Iwas equally
proud to be his Commissioner.
He was never slow in providing
direct and honest feedback when
he thought I‘had lost the plot’ or
‘was getting abit spineless’.”
Craig’s Ashburton CIB
colleague Detective Sergeant
Colin Welsh echoes those
sentiments. He said you could
rely on Craig to tell you how it
was.
“Craig had apassion for
investigating organised crime
and gangs,” said Welsh.
“He loved getting into the
detail of these investigations,
sorting through data to pinpoint
the link in the chain that could
lead to an arrest and conviction.’’

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire
Brigade responded to the scene
about 8am.
PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS
Foggystart to day
The Ashburton Volunteer Fire
Brigade responded to afalse
alarm callout at Super Liquor,
Ashburton Club and MSA, on
Tuesday.
The liquor store was full of
smoke as the premise’s fog
canon had unintentionally been
activated about 8am.
General manager Cliff Downes
at the scene said as the ‘‘new boy
on the block’’, he was the one to
blame. When ‘‘unalarming’’ the
place after arriving at work, he
did not unalarm the fog canon.
So when the storeman arrived, it
triggered the fog canon, which
automatically set of the
premise’s fire alarm.
As the firefighters used a
positive pressure ventilation fan
inside to disperse the smoke,
Downes saw the positive side.
‘‘It shows the systems are
working,’’ he said.
Brigade chief Alan Burgess
said over the past year the
brigade had been called out to
various premises about six to
eight times for fog canons being
unintentionally set off.
While the security devices had
been around for anumber of
years, falsealarm callouts to fog
canons had increased as more
businesses had them installed.
Firefighters responding would
walk through the thick smoke
and open doors to get air flow
through.
‘‘The main purpose (of fog
canons) is to eliminate line of
sight, and they do that extremely
well,’’ Burgess said.

Meager to officially open
Te Whare Whakatere
BY JONATHAN LEASK
Local democracy reporter
An official opening for Te Whare
Whakatere will be next month, nine
months after the library and civic
centre opened to the public.
Rangitata MP James Meager will
officiateonbehalf of Prime
MinisterChristopherLuxon.
The district council had been
coordinating with the Prime
Minister’s office over dates, but
Luxon's recent visit to Ashburton
clashed with the district council's
recessinJuly.
As Luxon is not due back in the
town, and the openingneeds to
happen this year, Meager is
stepping up to cut the ribbon.
“It’s always achallenge to align
schedulesofmayors,councillors
and prime ministers, but I’m happy
to help open Te Whare Whakatere
on behalf of the government,”
Meager said.
Initially budgetedat$56.7m, the
buildingwas completedwith acost
overrun of about 10 per cent. The
district council has yet to announce
the final cost.
Other guests at the opening will
include local iwi, local and central
government officials, and
businesses and groups involved
with the building project.
Aplaque will be unveiled and
time capsule installed during the
opening. Coverage of the opening
will be the final addition to the time
capsule before it is sealed in place.
To be opened in 2078, it will sit
behind asection of tinted glass at a
low height along the building’s
Havelock St entrance ramp.
Te Whare Whakatere official
openingwill be September 28, at
2pm.

Ashburton College was honoured to participate
in the Tongan Language Week celebration atthe

Tokorozawa Kita High School –
AshburtonCollege Sister School Connection
As in the previous article the two staff members accompanying
Tokorozawa Kita High School were Kikuchi (Kiku) Atsushi and
ChihiroToyama.
Both of these peoplehavestrongconnections withAshburton College. For
Kiku, his first visit with the school group was in2010, ‘pre the Christchurch
earthquake’, as he said. Aside from athree-year gap forced byCovid, Kiku
has come every year since 2010, making this his twelfth visit toAshburton
and Ashburton College. Kiku teaches English and is also amember ofan
International Exchange Committee.
Chihiro, who also teaches English at Tokorozawa was, herself, first in
Ashburtontwenty-one yearsago as part of this very same Tokorozawa Kita
High School exchange, back when she was fifteen. The following year she
returned to Ashburton College for three months, as an Exchange student.
Chihiro has been areturnee teacher onthe Tokorozawa Kita High School
trip forapproximately nine years now.
Both teachers are therefore very familiar with Ashburton College, and the
MidCanterburydistrict andbeyond.
Cultural DiversityFacilitator -Mārie Maeva
Ashburton College isfortunate to have Mārie Maeva as our Cultural
DiversityFacilitator, arolevitaltofosteringinclusivityand understanding
within our school community. Mārie’s primary responsibility istobuild
strong connections within the school and with external organisations
to support our ever-growing and diverse student population. As

Ashburton District, our students are engaging with amore diverse

ethnicities represented within our student body, which significantly
enriches the educationalexperiencefor everyone.
However, with this diversity comes the challenge ofensuring that all
students feel supported andvalued.Whileour school hasmadestrides in
embracing cultural diversity, there is still work to be doneinestablishing
asolid foundation ofsupport for all students. This is where Mārie’s role
becomesindispensable.She is activelyworking toimplement structures
and initiatives that will not only celebrate our cultural differences, but
also provide the necessary resources and support systems toensure
that everystudent thrives.
Mārie'sgoalsinclude organising cultural events,facilitating student-led
groups, andcollaborating with staff to incorporatediverse perspectives
into the curriculum. These initiatives are designed to create an
environmentwhere everystudent feels asenseofbelonging andpride
in their cultural heritage. Her work isnot just about acknowledging
diversity but also about creating meaningful opportunities for crosscultural
exchange andunderstanding.
AsAshburton College continues to grow andevolve, Mārie’sleadership
in this area will be crucial in shaping aschool communitywhere diversity
is not only acknowledged but celebrated as astrength. We are excited
tosee thepositiveimpactofher work on ourstudentsand the broader

Tokorozawa Kita High School Visit
It wasanabsolute pleasuretoagainwelcome AshburtonCollege Sister
School’s Tokorozawa Kita High School students from Japan, from 24
Julyto06August.
This year the groupwas made up of twenty-one girlsand nine boys.
Their first dayatCollege sawthemwelcomedwith apōwhiriatthe College’s
Whare Wānanga, followed byashared morning tea outside the Whare,
meeting their Collegestudent buddies andattending classes andthe lunch
breakwith them.Orientation andanintroductiontoNew ZealandLifeand
Cultureispartofthe students’visit.
College’s International Department Director, Michelle Hosking, said that
the AshColl students were extremely kind and ensured our guests were
welcomedtoour College.
During their time here the students were introduced toelements of Kiwiculture
throughchipbutties,hokey pokeyice-cream andpineapplelumps!
Onthis visit,the group unfortunately couldnot travel to Tekapo duetopoor
weather andsnowbut,instead,had an educational session at the Antarctic
Centre inChristchurch, following avisit to Sumner Beach, awalk around
the Sumner area,acustomary visittoUC(UniversityofCanterbury),andto
Northlands Shopping Centre.
(Pictured above): The group outside UC (University of Canterbury),
Christchurch.
During their second week here, the students visited Rosebank Resthome
and Tinwald School.
The three key visit foci for the group each time they come to College is to
visit aprimary school,aretirement home, and theUniversityofCanterbury.
In terms oftrips, Tekapo isapreference due to the activity options, New
Zealandsceneryand thechance to getintosome snow.
The Rosebank visit took place during the morning of Thursday 01 August
and, as in previous years, was areal success. The response from Rosebank
staffendorsedthisbymessagingCollege to say‘theinteraction between the
students and their residents was just delightful, nearly emotional!!!’ They
said thatthe students’singing waslovely andthattheywerejust so gentle
when approaching the residents, with family members also commenting
howlovely thevisit was, andsaying it is alwaysapleasuretohavethe group
come andvisit.
Thegroup’s visit to TinwaldSchool wassimilarly well-received, withTinwald
School pupils and staff reportedly thoroughly enjoying their interactions
with the Tokorozawagroup.
Host family homestays are anintegral part ofeach Tokorozawa visit, asis
the case when Ashburton College Japan tour groups visit Tokorozawa Kita
HighSchool.
Michelle said that we were very grateful to have all Tokorozawa students
warmly welcomedintolocal host families, witheach weekend’sleisure time
with these families avaluabletime.
We know that the students will leave Ashburton with life-long memories
andnew friendships.
Forall involved,the visit provideswonderful opportunities forcross-cultural
learning.
As is traditional,the visit woundupwithaThankYou andFarewell Partyin

The Sister School connection itself is now 28years in its existence, having
begun in 1996. This evolved via Ashburton College’s former Deputy
Principal, Chris Buckland, who had spent two years in Japan around that
time,and whoinitiatedthe concept of this connection.
There are some differences between Ashburton College’s teaching
arrangements and those in Tokorozawa, one of the most obvious aspects
being that teachers here mostly have their own rooms and students move
to them. At Tokorozawa, students stay inone room and teachers move to
them,which means carryingasignificantamountofequipmentwith them,
and being constantly on the move. Aspart ofthis, there isaten minute
breakbetween each lesson time.
Both schools appreciate their Sister School links and value the history
behind this long-lasting connection which is of real value to all students,
to staff, buddy students and tohost families for both schools. Long may it
continue.

TwoKey QualitiestoSuccess
In concluding this part ofthe assembly, Simon said tothe student
audience that all of the students seen today have two key qualities
which are ones everyone sitting at the assembly requires, inorder to
be successful at school.
The first is Attendance–
Forany of these students to have the successes highlighted at the assembly,
they need to attend their classes or practice. Without this, they will not be
able to competeorachievetothese high standards.
Simon emphasised thatall students need to be attending school everyday,
and be at school beforethe class,assembly or Akoclassstarts.
The second qualityisEffort –
All the students acknowledged at this assembly, Simon said, have had to
commit sothat they can improve, perfect their actions or learn difficult
topics.
There isvery little that comes to people easily but, with apositive attitude
and effort, Simon informed students they can achieve results just like the
students on stage.
His challenge to students was tolook at what opportunities that you have
taken advantage of this year, ortodecide to take up an opportunity now,
concluding by saying –‘the only person who misses out ongrowing and
learning new things is yourself,ifyou choose not to get involved’.
Head Student Ripena Umaga Vaeila
Ripena concluded the assembly with some motivational words to
students,and reminding themall of their responsibilitiesoncampus.
(Pictured right): Head Student Ripena Umaga
Vaeila addressing students at thewhole-College
assembly.
Ripena challenged students to ask themselves
how often they show respect on adaily basis,
whether towards someone, something, peers,
teachers, classrooms, changing rooms and
facilities.
She asked students howthey would feel if spaces
were taken away from them, including the new
Rangitata Block’s fine facilities, and the soonto-be-available
Phys Ed new Changing Rooms,
acknowledging the funding and hard work put
in to having these buildings.
Many students showrespect as part of everyday
but, for those who don’t, Ripena asked them
to consider what parents would think of them, for example, ifwriting on
building walls; urged them to treat school as they would their own house;
and to remember what ‘The AshColl Way’ really means.
Also PresentedWere‘ActiveAs’ and Wearable Arts Awards
ActiveAs
These awards were presentedbyCheyenne Parris,Teacher-in-Charge of
the Active AsProgramme atAshburton College, and Deputy Principal

This uptake highlights the whole point of
‘ActiveAs’,being to make physical activityfun
again and to encourage everyone to try new
activities and create positive,mana-enhancing
relationships with peersand teachers.
Cheyenne said that the Student Recreation
Committee and ‘Active As’ student leaders
have been working hard inthe background
to run the YMCA-style gamesand plan forthe
Colour Run. The Colour Run events will take
placeatthe end of theterm, with participants
representing their House Colour, and having fun with Ako class and year
level peers.
At this assembly, recognised with the presentation of badges and
certificates was the hard work ofthe rangatahi who have dedicated their
time and energy to Active As, including helping to run stations at multiple

Solid waste rulestobeupdated
Councilisreviewing itsSolidWaste

changes to standardise recycling
around the countryand introduce
food wastecollections.
Group Manager InfrastructureNeilMcCann
said the bylaw waslastreviewedin2018

The draft Solid WasteManagement and
Minimisation Bylaw wasreleased for
consultation this week and feedback can
be made until 29 September.
Mr McCann said therewerethree main
changes proposed.
“The first would requirepublic events

Magic of needle and thread
SUSAN.SANDYS
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz
Elegant and detailed
embroidery surrounds Audrey
Edmondstoninher Ashburton
home.
On cushions, in framed
pictures and on table mats, the
colourful creations have been
craftedbythe 89­year­old
herself.
Audrey is the oldest member
of the Ashburton
Embroiderers’ Guild, and
among members preparing to
exhibit at the guild’s
upcoming biennial exhibition.
The Magic of Needle and
Thread opens on Saturdayat
the Ashburton Art Gallery.
Audrey learned the ancient
art form in Ashburton about20
years ago, at evening classes
formerlyheld in the Menorlue
building. Shehad retired from
her career as asecondary
school English teacher.
The creativity of the craft
captivated her from the start.
‘‘I think it’s an art really
because you have to put your
own sense of colour.’’
She followed patterns, but also created
her own works. One she has framed and
hanging on her wall is called Moeraki
Memories,inspiredby‘‘the coloursofthe
sea, the movement of the waves and the
shells’’ after avisit there.
Audrey enjoyed creating embroidery
piecesasmuch as she liked seeing the
finished product.
‘‘It’s creative, you are producing
something.’’
It was acraft that required alot of
focus.
‘‘I think it actually teaches you
patience,’’ she said.
Her usual time for embroidery was in
the evenings, with the television on in the

Nic Koster, who operates Bangkok Wok
with his partner Prew Pastan, said the
district council was ahead of other councils
in that it had allowed amaximumofthree
vendors at any one time in the area.
‘‘We are getting alot of feedback, people
are loving it,’’ Koster said.
‘‘Food caravans connect with customers,
you get afollowing.’’

background.
‘‘It really just needs to be aprogramme
that you don’t need to look at.’’
Audrey is humble about her place in
the guild, she believes there are many
more capable members than she.
‘‘We have some beautiful embroiderers
in ourguild, they can do much finer work
than me.’’
Audrey enjoys giving embroidery to
family and friends, includinga
Christmas tree decoration each year for
her four children andtheir families.
The guild was established more than 50
years ago. It has about 25 members who
meet monthly to learn and work on
projects.
There is the possibility ofamarquee and
seating being set up nearby in the square, as
one of the vendors has applied to the
district council for permission to install
this.
However, adistrict council spokesperson
told The Ashburton Courier whether this
would be possible would have to be looked
at in line with the relevant bylaws.
Meanwhile, the three food vendors are
among about 20 preparing for the annual
Hakatere Noodle Festival in the square
from 3pm­9pm on September 7, which will
also feature live music.
In conjunction with the opening of The
Magic of Needle and Thread, the gallery

Agchemalternatives proposed
Alternative tools are available for growers
lookingtoreduce reliance on agrichemicals
in response to market and resistance
challenges, Foundation for Arable Research
chief executive Alison Stewart says.
Many of these, including biologicals and
digital decision support tools,were outlined
at FAR­organised events as part of the A
Lighter Touch: ANew Approach to Crop
Protection programme.
One was held in Ashburton earlier this
month.
The $27 million, seven­year programme
was established in 2020 to develop and
promote arable and horticultural pest
management options which reduce reliance
on synthetic chemistry. It is jointly funded by
government and industry.
Stewart said FAR had acrop protection
research programme centred around the
use of agrichemicals since inception almost
30 years ago “but we will not necessarily
have that luxury into the future”.
“The challenge is how do we take our
intensive arable agrichemical system and
transition that to something that has a
lighter touch.”
While agrichemicals are critical to
management of pests and diseases in arable
production systems, their use and
availability is being challenged by
increasing consumer pressure, the build­up
of resistance to existing agrichemicals and a
reduction in new chemistry being registered
in New Zealand.
ALT industry stakeholder advisory group
chairman Dr Stuart Davis told those at the
Ashburton event that an impetus for the
programme was the rapidly growing
availability of biological products.
It would assist growers to transition into
softer chemistry.
While new synthetic chemistry can cost
$US300 million and 11 years to develop for
market, biologicals can be available in less
than five years at adevelopment cost of
about $US5m.
“In the United States, it is predicted that
the biologicals market could be as big as
agrichemicals in 20 years at current annual
growth rates.”
Already in the US, about 70 per cent of
biologicals are sold to conventional farmers.
Alison Stewart
In New Zealand, delays in getting
approval for new products is causing
frustration and the regulatoryprocess is
currently being reviewed by government.
“Biologicals need to be assessed and
approved faster than they are now,” Davis
said.
FAR senior cereals researcher Jo
Drummondsaid while attracting premiums
for using less and softer chemistrymay be
easier in sectors like horticultureorwine,
for arable it may be more about market
access.
Crop protection practices for present and
future include biological control, plant
breeding and use of resistant cultivars,
mechanical practices, precision agriculture
and digital support and monitoring, as well
as plant protection products.
“We still need agrichemicals. Ultimately
our goal is to maintain the effective life of
theseproducts,” she said.
“There is no option now but to layer up
thesestrategies that can help growers
successfully reduce their input costs and
maintain or potentially increase
profitability and yield.”
As afirst step, growers need to pick a
resistant cultivar.
PHOTO FILE
They also need to consider,understand
and prioritise agrichemical application
timings to reduce costs and protect existing
chemistry.
“Do your homeworkonbiopesticides and
biological products and be realistic. You
can’t just switch one product for another.”
Decision supporttools such as FAR’s
online Aphid Chat were also available to
assist with treatment timings, Drummond
said.
Visiting United Kingdom plant pathologist
Dr Aoife O’Driscoll told the ALT events that
increasing fungicide resistance, combined
with rapidly rising fungicide costs is driving
UK cereal growers to change their crop
management and grow more resistant
cultivars.
“In the last four years, things have
changed dramatically.
“The days are gone of growing susceptible
varieties and then relying on afungicide
programme to obtain good yields,”
O’Driscoll said.
Cereal breeding programmes were now
more focused on disease resistance and
growing wheat cultivar mixes was becoming
common in the UK as growersresponded to
resistance issues and market signals.

Town’s rail line hits 150 year milestone
BY MICHAEL HANRAHAN
The 20 years between 1858 and
1878 saw Ashburton develop
from being just two buildings in
an otherwise empty prairie to a
small but thriving town.
There were many notable
events that allowed that
development to happen. There
was the opening of William
Turton’s accommodation house
on the banks of the Hakatere
River in 1858, the arrival of
local government in the form of
the Ashburton Roads Board in
1863, in August of the same year
the mapping of asite for atown
to be called Ashburton by
Robert Park and the following
year his preparation of aplan
for the central town as we know
it today, including arailway
reserve.
In 1876the central
government abolished
provincial governments
throughout the country, causing
the establishment of the
Ashburton County Council in
1876 and then, in 1878, the
Ashburton Borough Council.
But, without adoubt, the
event that allowed much of the
development of the area to
happenwas the arrival of the
railwayonAugust 24, 1874.
Ten years earlier Robert
Park had planned for arailway
reserve through the centre of
the town. He was employed by
the Canterbury Provincial
Council, the bodyresponsible
for developing the
infrastructure of the new
province.
That councilhad developeda
rail network from Lyttelton to
Christchurch through atunnel
to Christchurch, and from
Amberley in the north to the
Rakaia River.
That network was built with a
gauge (the distance between
the rails) of five feet three
inches, but at the same time
other provinces were building
their own networks with
different gauges, asituation
that would cause major
problems when the networks
joined to form anational
system.
In 1870Minister of Public
Works for the national
government, Julius Vogel
introduced apublicworks
policy allowing borrowing to
finance the development of
nationally important
‘COLONIAL CLUMSINESS’: Ashburton Railway Station c1917.
❛...the event that
allowed much of the
development of the
area to happen was

railwayonAugust24,
1874.❜
infrastructure, including arail
network.
Agauge of three foot six
inches was settled on, but
Canterburywas permitted to
continue as far as Rakaia with
it’s wider gauge. This was to
allow construction to continue
of abridge across the Rakaia,
but from that point on the gauge
was to be the new national
standard.
Rolling stockand small
locomotives were imported from
Britain through Lyttelton in 1874
and sent on broad gauge trains to
Rakaia where they were
assembled.
This allowed the construction
of the line to continue towards
Ashburton,where it arrived in
August 1874.
Rakaia became a
transhipment point for
PHOTO ASHBURTON MUSEUM &HISTORICAL SOCIETY
VITAL LINK: The Ashburton Railway Station in the early 1900s, and The Plains Vintage Railway’s K88,
which wasthe first Christchurch to Dunedin passenger train.
PHOTOS SUPPLIED
passengers and freight between
the two systems.
From August 1864 the line
north ofRakaia was converted to
three foot six inch gauge.
The line south from Ashburton
reached Ealing in May 1875 but
it was not until September 1878
that atrain could travel all the
way from Christchurch to
Dunedin.
In Ashburton the arrival of the
rails obviously required some
local infrastructure –agoods
shed, an engine shed and
railway station. The site for the
station was chosen with what the
newspaper called “characterise
colonial clumsiness”.
In an effort to have it as close
as possible to the town’s
developing commercial area it
was situated on the east side of
the tracks between Cameron and
Wills streets, effectively causing
the closing of level crossings at
those two streets.
It was asmall building, and
over the next forty or so years
was expanded many times, until
in 1918 it was replaced by anew
station further north.
It is interesting to note that
one of the small locomotives
assembled at Rakaia in 1874 was
the Glasgow built locomotive
known as A64, now housed at the
Plains Museum in Tinwald, and
that the locomotive that hauled
the first through express from
Christchurch to Dunedin in 1878,
K88, is also housed there.

CARTOON OF THE WEEK
Good news this month. The Reserve Bank cut the
Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 5.25 per cent, but this
is more than just anumber ­it's asign of hope for
the many Kiwis who have been struggling with
the cost­of­living crisis.
This OCR cut, the first in over fouryears,
signals that inflation is finally coming under
control.
For many, this means immediate relief: lower
interest rates on mortgages and credit cards will
ease the financial burden on households.
Banks have already responded, and for
homeowners who have been under immense
pressure this will be welcome respite for them.
The banking sector is under scrutiny at the
moment.
The government will be acting on all 14
recommendations made by the Commerce
Commission’s report into banking competition.
The Commerce Commission has outlined that
New Zealand’s banking sector is relatively
uncompetitive.Partly due to the small size of our
market, New Zealand bank customersget alower
quality deal compared to their Australian
neighbours with higher prices and fewer
choices.
The Finance Minister Nicola Willis has said
she shares the Commerce Commission’s vision
for astronger, more disruptive Kiwibank,and
has asked Treasury to engage with Kiwibank’s
parent companyKiwi Group Capital to explore
options to raise new capital.
This will allow it to become adisrupterthat
exerts real competitive pressure on the big
banks.
My challenge to those out there who rally
against the “big four” is to think about whether
they have seriously consideredchanging their
banks.
Unlesspeople vote with their feet,real
pressure on the bankingsystem will be hard to
come by.
Some are also arguingthat that our rural
communitieshave not been well served by the
bankingsector.
Parliament’s Finance and Expenditure
Committeeiscurrently taking submissions for its
inquiry into bankingcompetition, with a
particularfocus on rural banking. Submissions
on this can bemade through Parliament’s
website or pleasedocontact my office who can
assist with this process.
MinisterWillis visited Ashburton recently and
met with local businesses to hear firsthand the
challengesthey are facing, along with the
opportunitiesthat exist here in Mid Canterbury.
Iwanted to give abig thanks to brother and
sister duo Nick Swift and Jenna White from
FourflaxonMcNally Street for hosting us and
explaining how their pet food supplement
business is managing to succeed at atricky time.
The road to recovery may be long, but with the
right policies and acollective effort, we can get
our economy back on track.

Plenty of power and off road smarts
BYBOB NETTLETON
Subaru Solterra EV AWD
Subaru have taken the full
Electric Vehicle (EV) plunge,
but it took some hand­holding
from Toyota, which owns a20
per cent share of the company,
to get them across the line and
into the world of EVs.
Their first battery electric
vehicle is the Solterra, a
Subarufied version of Toyota’s
bZ4x EV. It arrived here in
March.
Atwo­model Solterra line up
heads up our market and leads
off with the standard variant
retailing $79,990.
Hard on its heels is the more
lavishly appointed $84,990
Touring supplied for this road
test.
Atwo­tone paint option is
available on selected paint
colours to give your Solterraa
bit more visual street creed.
Both Solterra’s are fitted with
Subaru’s acclaimed
Symmetrical All­Wheel Drive
mounted to the company’s new
e­Global Platform. Dual
function XMode helps traverse
tricky terrain, while 210mm of
ground clearance does its bit.
Sittingroughly size­wise
between aForester and
Outback the Solterra has plenty
of power and off road smarts
according to Subaru. They
reckonthis sets it up well to
explore more remote areas, if
you are game enough to venture
that far from an EV charger. I’m
not convinced it’s capable of
mixing it in the rough stuff, or
wading through shallow creeks
as reassuringly as its Forester
or Outbacksiblings.
It felt like alight duties only
AWD, happiest on reasonably
well formed tracks, and skifield
roads.
Equipped with dual electric
motors strategically positioned
at the front and rear, alongside
acutting­edge 71.4kW lithiumion
battery, Solterra delivers a
160kW of power and 337Nm of
torqueand has aclaimed EV
range of 485km. In real world
driving, Ifound it was more
around the 350km mark.
The test car had more than
enough heft to shift this decent
sized SUV with plenty of
urgency, and surrounds the
vehicle occupants in acloak of
silence as it does soinlower
speed town driving. Throttle
response is exhilarating.
Standing start acceleration
providedbythe electrified
system makes most
conventionalengines seem
pedestrian. Asingle speed
automatic is ultra smooth and
efficient.
Charging the Subaru
Solterra is easy as, with both
AC and DC charging capability.
Chargingfrom 20­to­80 percent
via a150kW DC charger takes
around 30 minutes, whereas
via asingle­phase 7kW AC
charger, 20­to­80 percent is a
more laborious seven to eight
hour haul.
Aroomy and welcoming
cabin has an abundance of
usable passenger and cargo
space. Subaru’s all electric
offering
includes a12.3”
touchscreen
with satellite
navigation, the
company’s
Safety Sense
technology,
wireless phone
charging and a
panoramic
360­degree
view monitor.
The heated
seats, two front
and the outside
rear seats, are
heavenly on cold frosty
mornings .
The suspension in unison
with the symmetrical AWD
system offers confident and
sure­footed road holding. With
its balance, poise, and agility
the extra weight of battery
pack at eachend of vehicle
enables it to super imposes
itself on the road. The ride is
generally comfy apart from
lapsing into listless mode over
high frequency bumps common
in around town motoring.

HIPPY: empowering parents,
enriching children’s lives
Jenna Chapman, thecoordinatorofthe Home
InteractionProgramme forParents andYoungsters
(HIPPY)inTimaruand Geraldine, is on amission
to transformearly childhood education in our
community.
“HIPPY is an incredible programme,” Jenna
says. “It’s afree, in-home learning initiative for
children aged two tosix years. It’s perfect for
families with less than eighthours of ECE(Early
Childhood Education) andthose wholiverurally
or have to travel long distancestoECE.Or, you’re
considering homeschooling and not sure ifit’s
rightfor your family.”
As aformerprimary teacherand mother of
two, Jenna brings awealthofexperiencetoher
role.“This joballows me to useall of my skills
while working directly with families in their
own homes,” she explains. Her enthusiasm is
palpable as shedescribes herjob: training tutors,
giving parents skills to guide their children in
astructured curriculum, and transitioning
children to ECE, primary schools, or
homeschooling.
HIPPY,fundedbythe Ministry of Education,
operates in 22 sites across New Zealand.
In Timaru, Jenna works with two tutors, but
she’seager to expand.“We’relookingtohirea
tutor inGeraldine to serve our families better
here if there’senoughinterest,”she shares.
Theprogram’s core aimistoempower parents.
“We encourage parents toengage with their
children, learn valuable teaching skills, and
buildstrongerconnections with schools,”Jenna
says.Thisapproach notonlyprepareschildren
for school but also boosts parents’ confidence
in supportingtheir child’seducation.
HIPPY has already helped several families in
Timaru. Jenna is keen to spread the word,
emphasising that the programme isfree and
open to allinterestedfamilies.
“HIPPY can make areal difference inyour
child’s early learning journey,” she says.
“I encourageanyoneinterestedtoreach outand
learn more about how we can support your
family.”
Great Potentials Foundation introduced
HIPPY to New Zealand in 1992. Over 30,000
children have benefitted since HIPPY was
established. Formoreinformation or to enrol

IN BRIEF
Men’s Shed open day: “Pop in,” says Allan
Men’s Shed Geraldine is opening its doorsto
the public on 5September forMenzshed New
Zealand’s Men’s Shed Week.
“Pop in,” says secretary/treasurer Allan
Gough. “We’renot acomplicated organisation.
People fix their ownthings, make community
things, and makeuse of what we havehere.
And it’s about fellowship.”
Since 2021, thegroup,acharitable trust,has
turned aseries of bays in the former Timaru
DistrictCouncil Talbot Streetdepot into‘rooms’
for aspectrum ofactivities and tools. Allan
says, “We’ve made gaps between the bays,
lined it, brought in more light, and made it
waterproof.Weutilised the skills we had.”
“Thereare all sorts of skills here: carpentry,
engineering, welding. There’s awide range
of general handyman skills. We’re mostly
retired; some are younger.”
Plenty ofshed energy is injected into
communityprojects. Allan says,“We’vemade
[things] forthe communitygardens and Waihi
Lodge, and an aeroplane for last year’s
Christmas parade. We do repairs for people
for small donations and repairs for the toy
library.”
“One of the biggest things is what we do
with Geraldine PrimarySchoolchildren. We’re
teaching them what tools arefor,how to use
them practically and safely, and how to
maintain them. And we teachthemtowork
together as ateam.”
Men’s Shed Geraldine’sOpen Dayis10am-
