It is something that barely ever<br />
happens in Mid Canterbury.<br />
But it has happened twice this<br />
month. Large creatures were<br />
found on shore first ararely<br />
sighted species of sunfish at<br />
Dorie, then agiant teddy bear a<br />
few kilometres south at<br />
Pendarves on Saturday.<br />
Australian Samantha Cooper<br />
came across the 3mlong teddy<br />
bear while walking on the beach<br />
with her sister who lives nearby.<br />
The pair were puzzled as they<br />
‘WASHED UP’: Samantha Cooper with the giant teddy bear on Pendarves beach.<br />
approached.<br />
‘‘I thought is that aseal? Is it<br />
alive, is it dead?’’<br />
Getting closer they realised<br />
what it was, and thought perhaps<br />
it had come from aboat.<br />
‘‘Definitely it had been<br />
washed up, because it was<br />
drenched,’’ Cooper said.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> zone delivery lead<br />
Nikki Jenkins thanked The<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong> for alerting it<br />
‘‘to this rather sadly discarded<br />
item’’.<br />
‘‘Our incident response team<br />
will head out and pick up Big<br />
Ted,’’ Jenkins said.<br />
‘‘It’s pretty unusual for us to<br />
have to clear large items washed<br />
up on the beach, and this is<br />
definitely the first bear hunt<br />
we’ve had to go on.’’<br />
Adead 2m long sunfish was<br />
found by Grant MacKinnon and<br />
Katy Moore on the beach at<br />
Dorie, The Press reported on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 12.<br />
“It was huge, it reminded me<br />
of amassive squid,” Moore said.<br />
“I had never seen anything like<br />
it.”<br />
Auckland Museum sunfish<br />
expert Dr Marianne Nyegaard<br />
told The Press in her 10 years of<br />
studying the species, there were<br />
only 60 sightings on record in<br />
Australia and New Zealand.<br />
The teddy bear find, while also<br />
rare, is unlikely to attract the<br />
same scientific attention.<br />
But it is acurious find which<br />
has The <strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong><br />
guessing, so if you have any<br />
information, please let us know!<br />

The Fairton School community is<br />
seeking donations from businesses<br />
andindividuals as it struggles to<br />
save its swimming pool.<br />
The pool faces closure this<br />
summer as its lining is leaking,and<br />
is unlikely to be repaired in time.<br />
The school’s Home and School<br />
committee is fundraising towards a<br />
$70,000 target, which is the cost of<br />
replacing the lining with tiles or<br />
fibreglass.<br />
It has so far reached $12,000;<br />
$10,000 from adistrict council grant<br />
and$2000 fromapie fundraiser.<br />
Home and School committee<br />
spokesperson Kim Mcilwaine said<br />

Saveour pool, say Fairton School children, who want somewhere to swim next<br />
summer.<br />
she and fellow committee members<br />
were brainstorming on further<br />
fundraisers; there wereacouple in<br />
the planning stages.<br />
Members were also reaching out<br />
for donations, and planned to install<br />
apermanent sponsorship board for<br />
the display of contributors’ names<br />
at the pool.<br />
It would depend how quickly the<br />
funds were raised as to whether the<br />
pool would open this coming<br />
summer or not.<br />
‘‘It’s really disappointing for the<br />
kids Ithink, it would be areal shame<br />
because the kids use it every day in<br />
the summer for swimming in the<br />
Making Mid Canterbury at home<br />

afternoon,’’ Mcilwaine said.<br />
‘‘Fairton is one of the very few<br />
schools that have their own pool so<br />
it would be ashame to lose it, so it’s<br />
not really an option.<br />
‘‘We are determined to keep it.’’<br />
Children at the school recently<br />
made colourful signs and gathered<br />
at the pool for aphoto shoot with<br />
The <strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong> to raise<br />
awareness for their cause.<br />

3.7% pay rise for councillors<br />
BYJONATHAN LEASK<br />
Local democracy reporter<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s mayor and councillors will<br />
receive apay increase from July 1.<br />
Local government pay is set by the<br />
independent Remuneration Authority,<br />
which has determined mayors and<br />
councillors across the country will<br />
receive an average pay rise of 3.7 per<br />
cent pay rise.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> mayor Neil Brown’s<br />
salary will increase from $132,690 to<br />
$137,600, which equates to $2646 per<br />
week or a$66 anhour wage for a<br />
40hour week.<br />
Brown said it is afulltime job that<br />
has no set hours, and wherever he goes<br />
he is the mayor.<br />
“You are always the mayor, you are<br />
on 24 hours, seven days aweek,’’ Brown<br />
said.<br />
“You may not be working but you are<br />
always on call.”<br />
The other Mayor Brown, Auckland<br />
mayor Wayne Brown, is the toppaid<br />
mayor with a$306,952 ayear salary<br />
($147.50 an hour).<br />
The lowest rate for any Auckland<br />
councillor was $111,782.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s deputy mayor Liz<br />
McMillan’s salary increases from<br />
$80,003 to $82,963.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> has usually opted to have<br />
the eight councillors on the same<br />
salary, evenly dividing the<br />
remuneration pool.<br />
Their salary will increasefrom<br />
$46,<strong>27</strong>4 to $47,986 –which works out to<br />
$23 per hour.<br />
Firstterm councillor Richard<br />
Wilson said the pay rise was outside of<br />
council control, but an increased rate<br />
encouraged more people to stand for<br />
council.<br />
“I don’t do the job for the money, Ido<br />
it for the community.’’<br />
Councillors don't work 40 hours in a<br />
regular week in <strong>Ashburton</strong>, but they do<br />
alot more than just attend acouncil<br />
meeting every fortnight, he said.<br />

TONI.WILLIAMS<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
Mid Canterbury grown goodies are set to be<br />
on show at this year’s <strong>Ashburton</strong> A&P Show<br />
as new president Ben Stock takes the reigns.<br />
He plans ashowcase of produce, and<br />
finished products.<br />
The Hinds dairy farmer has chosen the<br />
theme The Food Basket of Mid Canterbury<br />
From the Paddock to the Picnic.<br />
He said it builds on last year’s theme of<br />
Bees, Bugs and Butterflies,and will involve<br />
ashowcase of produce and finished<br />
products from throughout the district.<br />
“It’s making people aware about what is<br />
actually going on in Mid Canterbury,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Pull it together in one space and then try<br />
to show people the valueadd side of it too <br />
what (raw product) eventually turns into.”<br />
Planning for the November 1and 2show<br />
was still in its early stages, but Stock said<br />
there was already plans to move the food<br />
and beverage space into amore central<br />
place on the grounds.<br />
There will also be more displays, food<br />
stalls and fun stuff around that, he said.<br />
“We’ve got lots of new ideas, but it’s just<br />
too early to say.<br />
“We want to target people that are not<br />
typically show goers and want to try to pull<br />
them in and show them what we are doing<br />
here.”<br />
Stock hoped stalls would include all the<br />
show usuals as well as feature newcomers<br />
on the valueadd side of the products.<br />
“We just want to make it bright, fun and<br />
inclusive (for all),’’ he said.<br />
Stock, and his wife MaryAnne, have<br />
called the district home for 20 years.<br />
Prior to arriving they had been<br />
sharemilking around the South Island.<br />
He was introduced to the A&P association<br />
by immediate past president Victor<br />
Schikker in 2020.<br />
Since then he has been junior vicepresident<br />
and senior vicepresident.<br />
EXCITED:<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> A&P<br />
Show president<br />
Ben Stock is<br />
already planning<br />
for this year’s<br />
event.<br />
“I got on the committee and got ajob<br />
straight away,” he said, with alaugh.<br />
Apush for the committee earlier this year<br />
had resulted in some new members, he said.<br />
‘‘We’ve got some really awesome<br />
members.’’<br />
Succession planning was in place with<br />
senior vicepresident Andrew Lawrence<br />
and junior vicepresident Sarah Kent in the<br />
wings.<br />
“We’ve got agood number of people (on<br />
the committee), new people young and old<br />
and it’s brought with it some energy and<br />
healthy new ideas.’’<br />
IN BRIEF<br />
SCAM REFUND<br />
Astory in The <strong>Ashburton</strong> <strong>Courier</strong> on<br />
May 23 regarding an <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
woman who had been scammed out<br />
of $15,000 now has ahappy ending.<br />
Thanks to the efforts of Kiwibank, the<br />
woman has received all her money<br />
back. The woman was taken in by a<br />
phone scammer, who falsely told her<br />
she was calling from Kiwibank and<br />
there was suspicious activity on her<br />
account.<br />
SPEED CHANGE<br />
Speed limits for a600m section of<br />
State Highway 77 in Methven will<br />
change at the end of July. NZ<br />
Transport Agency Waka Kotahi will<br />
reduce the speed from100 to 60km/h<br />
along the section, which stretches<br />
from the northern edge of the town to<br />
just past the entrance to Ōpuke<br />
Thermal Pools. Director Regional<br />
Relationships James Caygill said the<br />
agency was responding to the<br />
requests of residents, who walk and<br />
bike in the area. ‘‘NZTA’s technical<br />
assessment supported this feedback<br />
and areduced speed limit to match<br />
the road environment.’’<br />

The New Zealand Army will parade<br />
through Christchurch on <strong>June</strong> 28 to<br />
mark the 50th anniversary of 2/1<br />

With the flick of aswitch and after<br />
years of planning <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Hospital’s last coalfired boiler has<br />
been shut down, replaced with anew<br />
highly efficientelectric system.<br />
The $9 million system, changed<br />
over on Monday, has set the hospital<br />
up for the future.<br />
Health NZ Canterbury general<br />
manager, rural health services Berni<br />
Marra led asmall group aroundthe<br />
hospitalgrounds as the last coal<br />
boiler was turned off to make way for<br />
the new system.<br />
Among those present was<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospitaland Rural<br />
Services site maintenance manager<br />
Dan Wilson, Health New Zealand<br />
facility and engineers manager Terry<br />
Walker, <strong>Ashburton</strong> and Rural Health<br />
Services operations and<br />
administration manager Philippa<br />
O'Neill and project manager Mike<br />
Frude.<br />
The one year build saw the<br />
replacement of the hospital’s<br />
40plusyearold boilers as part of a<br />
decarbonisation project. It was<br />
among a$12 billion government<br />
programme, to build and upgrade<br />
roads, rail, schools and hospitals,<br />
announced in early 2020.<br />
The project replaced three coal<br />
boilers with aground source heat<br />
pump, which will provide heating<br />
and hot water to all the buildings on<br />
site.<br />
It will reduce Health New<br />
Zealand’s carbon emissions by 2385<br />
tonnes per year, the equivalent to the<br />
average annual emissions of 840 cars.<br />
After days testing the new system<br />
in stages,Wilson silenced the last<br />
workingboiler at the hospitalwith<br />
the flick of aswitch. It was unlikely to<br />
have lasted another winter.<br />
He estimated engineers would<br />
have been called out to fix the boilers<br />
thousands of times over the years. It<br />
was very outdated.<br />
Facility and engineers manager<br />
Terry Walker said it was the mid<br />
1960s when the two big boilers were<br />
commissioned.<br />
They were fully attendedbyboiler<br />
operators 24/7until 1985 when a<br />
smaller unattendedboiler was<br />
added.<br />
‘‘It could work through the evening.<br />
The attendedones took the big load<br />
through the day and the little one<br />
GOLDEN SILENCE: <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Hospital engineer Shane Smith (left)<br />
and <strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital and Rural<br />
Services site maintenance manager<br />
Dan Wilson with the nowsilenced<br />
coal boilers.<br />
kept us going,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘Even after 25 to 30 years its<br />
absolutely on its last legs and Dan<br />
has done brilliant job to keep it going<br />
the last six years.’’<br />
The new system, manufactured by<br />
Airtech NZ Ltd, includes aground<br />
source heat pump housed in anew<br />
buildingbehind the laboratories. It<br />
works like ahousehold heat pump<br />
that transfers heat energy from the<br />
outside air to the inside.<br />
Real time visibility on the system<br />
can be viewed remotely via computer<br />
from anywhere.<br />
‘‘It monitors 28,000 different<br />
parameters.These are cutting edge,<br />
there is nothingbetter than these in<br />
New Zealand, or more advanced,’’<br />
Walker said.<br />
Heat out of groundwater is sucked<br />
up from 100m and circulated around<br />
the hospital’s heating system.<br />
The hot water replaces steam and<br />
REMOTE CONTROLLED: Dan Wilson<br />
with general manager, rural health<br />
services Berni Marra in the new<br />
energy centre at the rear of<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital.<br />
will reduce the hospital’senergy<br />
costs by an estimated 30 per cent.<br />
The residual water is discharged<br />
back into the ground.<br />
The project was one of 19 coal<br />
boiler replacements undertaken by<br />
Health NZ since 2020 and was the<br />
last Health NZ coal boiler to be<br />
replaced in Canterbury.<br />
It was asignificant milestone in the<br />
decarbonisation programme and<br />
funded by Health NZ, and the State<br />
Sector Decarbonisation Fund, which<br />
is administered by the Energy<br />
Efficiency and Conservation<br />
Authority.<br />

Amusical for the district<br />
Footrot Flats, the musical, will be staged by<br />
the Methven TheatreCompany in<br />
September.<br />
Director Matt Markham and musical<br />
director Linda Young are looking forward to<br />
deliveringlaughs in ashow Markham said<br />
‘‘is made for this district’’.<br />
‘‘Audiences here will love it,’’ he said.<br />
After auditions last month, 17 people were<br />
cast in the iconic roles everyone who grew<br />
up in the 70s and 80s with Wal, his offsiders<br />
Dog, Cooch, Jess, Aunt Dolly, the terrifying<br />
Horse, sarcastic Pongo and the rest of the<br />
farm animals.<br />
Wal is being played by longtime company<br />
actor Jason Ree. Cooch is played by Ree's<br />
son Jake, Dog is RichardNorrish, and<br />
Cheeky Hobson is Rebecca Robinson, who is<br />
new to the company. Aunt Dolly is Sheree<br />
Tait, Jess is Becky Dirks, Pongo is Shyan<br />
Hughes and Cecil is Shane Stockdill.<br />
“While it’s all the familiar faces we know<br />
and love from the Footrot Flats movie and<br />
cartoon strips, the show is completely<br />
different,’’ Markham said.<br />
‘‘But hidden amongst the new storyline is<br />
so much of what made Footrot Flats such a<br />
firm part of life for so many of us.’’<br />
When rehearsals commenced mid<strong>June</strong>,<br />
the cast was excited to learnthey already<br />
have purposemade costumes courtesy of a<br />
loan from the Te Puke Theatre Company, as<br />
well as aselection of props.<br />
“We are so lucky that Te Puke was willing<br />
to share with us their recent costumes<br />
following asuccessful run of the show in the<br />
Waikato last year,” Markham said.<br />
“Footrot Flats hasn’t been performed in<br />
the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Districtsincethe 1990s, and<br />
some people are already asking when tickets<br />
go on sale. Hopefully by August, butwatch<br />
our Facebook page as we’ll let locals know<br />
first.”<br />
The Footrot Flats stage musical is based<br />
on the book by Roger Hall, with music by<br />
Phillip Norman and lyricsbyAKGrant.<br />
The show in Methven will open on<br />
September 5and run for three nights only.

Members of Mid Canterbury Vintage<br />
Machinery Club raised $30,000 for<br />
Canterbury West Coast Air RescueTrust.<br />
It was proceeds from their Wheat and<br />
Wheels Rally in April, and asoldout<br />
FergusonFE35 tractor raffle.<br />
Rally committee chairman Anthony<br />
Hampton, who hosted the twoday event at<br />
his Lauriston farm, presented the final<br />
tally to crew from the rescuehelicopter<br />
service in Christchurch on Saturday.<br />
‘‘They were very surprised,they weren’t<br />
expecting that much at all,’’ Hampton said.<br />
‘‘Very surprised and verygrateful.’’<br />
Hampton, who understood the funds<br />
would be used towards new gear for the<br />
service,said 43 club members travelled by<br />
bus to Christchurch for the occasion and<br />
were treated to atour around the rescue<br />
service facility.<br />
‘‘We had acup of tea then they showed<br />
us around the whole premises, right into<br />
the workshops, where the Flying Doctor<br />
plane was kept, everything.’’<br />
He was impressed with the efficiency<br />
and wellorganised space on the rescue<br />
helicopters.<br />
‘‘We looked through the newest<br />
helicopter, and man was it awellequipped<br />
helicopter.’’<br />
They also visited ChristchurchAirport’s<br />
crash fire unit, and saw ademonstration of<br />
afire engine with awater spray cannon.<br />
They had lunch at Spitfire Squareand<br />
then visited Air Force Museum of New<br />
Zealand at Wigram.<br />
Hampton said the success of the rally<br />
and the funds raised would not havebeen<br />
possiblewithout the large amount of<br />
community support it received.<br />
‘‘It was ateam effort, as far as the club<br />

goes, alot of people from the club were<br />
involved,’’ he said.<br />
‘‘And alot of organisations within the<br />
area gained from it. Without the help and<br />
the sponsorship that we got, from the<br />
different organisations, the funds<br />
wouldn’t have been as high to give to<br />
rescue helicopter.’’<br />
The rally, on April 6and 7, attracted<br />
about 5000 people.<br />
There were more than 700 types of<br />
vintage and modern machinery including<br />
pivot tractors,tractors, motorbikes,cars,<br />
trucks, traction engines, military displays<br />
Housing complex completion<br />
Kāinga Ora Homes and Communities<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>. The development, at <strong>27</strong>33<br />
Willow St, comprises three onebedroom<br />
homes, five twobedroom homes and one<br />
threebedroom home.<br />
Four of the homes have full universal<br />
design features, which means they are<br />
suitable for people living with<br />
accessibility needs.<br />
Canterbury regional director Liz<br />
Krause said the new homes replaced four<br />
older homes that were no longer fit for<br />

“By increasing the number of homes on<br />
these sites more people will also be able<br />
to live in asuburb that has aschool, shops<br />
and other services all within easyreach,”<br />
Krause said.<br />
An additional 75 homes are under<br />
construction or contract in <strong>Ashburton</strong>,<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Society of Arts committee<br />
members are preparing for their 60th<br />
annual art exhibition at the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Art<br />
Gallery.<br />
Tickets have quickly sold out this week for<br />
the opening night and awards presentation.<br />
It will be held on Monday night, followed by<br />
the exhibition itself beginning on Tuesday.<br />
On Saturday it was receiving day, where<br />
members set up at the gallery to receive<br />
work from the 156 artists entered.<br />
It was abusy day as they spent four hours<br />
registering, cataloguing, and checking entry<br />
details forthe more than 300 pieces of art.<br />
On aregular basis entries had to be moved<br />
from the receiving area into the gallery to<br />
make room for aconstantstream of new<br />
arrivals. Gallery staff were on hand to<br />
assist. President Kay Begg said entries from<br />
Mid Canterbury and further afield revealed<br />
the talent of artists, and showed how<br />
popular the exhibition was.<br />
‘‘It really is amazing the talent that’s<br />
throughout New Zealand, because we do get<br />
entries from outside the area,’’ Begg said.<br />
Guest artists will also feature.<br />
They include Brian Baxter, David Lloyd,<br />
Galina Kim, Lynda Scott, Sara Beal,<br />
Silversmiths Guild and Stewart Nimmo.<br />
Saturday also saw the final stages of the<br />
society’s Short Street Studio and gallery<br />

Covering the town in tartan for dancers<br />
DELLWYN.MOYLAN<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
Businesses are encouraged to<br />
decorate their windows with<br />
tartan and all things Scottish in<br />
support of the New Zealand<br />
Highland Dance<br />
Championships Highland and<br />
National competitions in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> next week.<br />
About 250 dancers from<br />
throughout New Zealand will<br />
compete in the nationals at the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Event Centre from<br />
July 5toJuly 8.<br />
Among the 20 dancers from<br />
the Julie Hawke School of<br />
Dance in <strong>Ashburton</strong> are seniors<br />
Hayley Nolan, 18, who will<br />
compete in the open section<br />
and Leah Maw, 17, who will<br />
compete in the under 18<br />
category.<br />
Both danced in the national<br />
competition the last time it was<br />
held in <strong>Ashburton</strong> in 2015, and<br />
are expecting this year’s event<br />
to be just as challenging and<br />
exciting.<br />
‘‘In the lead up to the<br />
nationals we are putting in<br />
extra work in order to be at our<br />
best,’’ Hayley said.<br />
The pair expect sore muscles<br />
after the threeday competition<br />
which will see them each do 10<br />
dances including the Highland<br />
Fling, sword dance, Irish Jig<br />
Single Time, Irish Jig Double<br />
Time, Irish Hornpipe, Irish<br />
Reel and Sailors Hornpipe.<br />
They agreed the pleasure<br />
they get out of dancing comes<br />
from learning with friends and<br />
finding new friends at<br />
competitions.<br />
‘‘While we are competitors<br />
we are close with the other<br />
dancers, they are like family,’’<br />
Leah said.<br />
The pair also enjoy the<br />
physical side of dancing, and<br />
include trips to the gym to build<br />
on their dance fitness.<br />
Along with regular lessons in<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>, they do once or<br />
twice aweek trips to<br />
Christchurch for lessons with<br />
Julie Hawke.<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Highland and<br />
National Dancing Association<br />
committee member Bridget<br />
Prendergast urged members of<br />
the public to come along and<br />
watch the <strong>Ashburton</strong> dancers<br />
competing.<br />
At the event the youngest<br />
competing is five yearsold<br />
through to dancers in their mid<br />
20s.<br />

Shearers over the age of 50<br />
are already putting their hand<br />
up to be part of Shear for Life,<br />
acharity shearing event<br />
supporting the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
Cancer Society and Hospice<br />
Mid Canterbury.<br />
Last held in 2019, it is being<br />
staged again in February at the<br />
Ewing family’s Hindsridge<br />
Farm. The challenge ahead of<br />
them is to beat the $90,000<br />
raised for charity.<br />
The first event was born<br />
when cofounder Rocky Bull<br />
and acouple of shearing mates<br />
in Australia were talking about<br />
afriend who died of prostate<br />
cancer and afriend’s wife with<br />
terminal breast cancer.<br />
They decided to come across,<br />
shear for aweek and give the<br />
money to cancer charities.<br />
An initial group of about 10<br />
shearers ‘‘grew fast’’ and it<br />
developed into amajor event.<br />
Shearers came from all over<br />
the country and Australia.<br />
Among them were 18 current<br />
or exworld record holders<br />
including Sir David Fagan,<br />
Alan MacDonald and Grant<br />
Smith, while former All Blacks<br />
Sir Buck Shelford, Sir Brian<br />
Lohore and Tane Norton,<br />
among others, joined the cause.<br />
With more close friends dying<br />
from cancer, the shearers felt<br />
the time was right to organise a<br />
second event.<br />
Bull said these people<br />
needed to be remembered and<br />
the message got out to the<br />
community to have their health<br />
checked.<br />
‘‘Dick Ewing was the farmer<br />
when we ran that event and 12<br />
months later he was gone. So<br />
we lost him and Sandra [Curd],<br />
our secretary, lost her husband,<br />
Rupert, and we had Sir Brian<br />
Lochore, Tane Norton and a<br />
few exAll Blacks, so we wanted<br />
to do another one.’’<br />
Their families told them<br />
hospices had provided fantastic<br />
support and were aworthy<br />
cause for fundraising, he said.<br />
Bull, aveteran shearer, has<br />
been based in Mid Canterbury<br />
for about 30 years.<br />
Mainland Wool director and<br />
organising committee member<br />
Brent Jary said the late Mr<br />
Ewing had been amajor part of<br />
the first event.<br />
‘‘He added another two<br />
stands to the shed to make it a<br />
ninestand shed so it could<br />
work. It’s flash. He went out and<br />
bought 3000 lambs of very<br />
similar types so the shearers<br />
are all shearing the same<br />
lambs. His wife Suzanne is<br />
really keen for it to happen.’’<br />
In the previous event,<br />
shearers worked 20minute<br />
stints before moving on to the<br />
next shift.<br />
They easily removed the<br />
fleece from 3000 sheep in the<br />
allotted eight hours and stopped<br />
for an hour so the All Blacks<br />
could speak to the large crowd<br />
jammed into the shed and<br />
marquee.<br />
The concept of ‘‘getting mates<br />
together before they passed’’<br />
will be repeated with more<br />
shearing women invited to<br />
attend.<br />
Ateddy bear shearing<br />
competition will be staged for<br />
children and organisers want to<br />
bring in the dairy industry to<br />
widen support.<br />
Bull said they had begun<br />
ringing up shearers again to<br />
confirm their attendance and<br />
expected another large turnout.<br />
‘‘We’re not interested in<br />
shearing amassive tally it’s<br />
just to draw the crowd, get<br />
everyone’s attention and some<br />
money flowing.<br />
All Black greats will be<br />
brought in again. Jock Ross has<br />
put the feelers out and Black<br />
Ferns will be invited to show<br />
their skills on the stands.<br />
Health checks on the day will<br />
remind shearers and supporters<br />
of the importance of early<br />
detection.<br />

Head of Junior School Message<br />
Embracing Quality, Pride, and Respect in<br />
our Junior School at <strong>Ashburton</strong>College<br />
Kiaora whānau<br />
As we progress through Term 2 at <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
College, it's been fantastic to see somany ofour<br />
students in the Junior School embodying our core<br />
AshColl Values of Quality, Pride, and Respect in<br />
their daily lives.<br />
These values are the foundation ofour school culture, guiding not only<br />
academic achievements but also the way we interact with each other<br />
and ourenvironment.<br />
QualityinOur Work andActions<br />
Quality is at the heart of everythingwedoat<strong>Ashburton</strong> College-from<br />
theclassroom to the stage, to the sportsfield andbeyond,weencourage<br />
ourstudents to strivefor excellence.<br />
This means putting in their best effort to every task, whether it's<br />
completing an assignment, participating in sports, or helping a<br />
classmate. Quality is about more than just good grades; it's about<br />
developing amindset ofcontinuous improvement and adedication to<br />
doing one's best.<br />
In our junior school, teachers have been impressed with the level of<br />
commitmentand enthusiasm studentshaveshown intheirlearning.<br />
Time CapsuleProjects<br />
The cross-curricular Time Capsule projects our Year 9students have<br />
recently completed were awesome and showed lots of creativity!<br />
Students are showing agenuine enthusiasm for exploring new topics,<br />
especially in the new trimester subjects inYear 9.This commitment to<br />
quality extends beyond academic pursuits, tohow students engage<br />
in extra-curricular activities and their personal growth. It has been a<br />
privilegetowatch ourstudents playing wintersportsatthe weekends!<br />
PrideinOur Community andAchievements<br />
Pride is another key value we cultivate at<strong>Ashburton</strong> College. We take<br />
pride in our school, our achievements, and each other. This pride is<br />
reflected in how wepresent ourselves, how we participate inschool<br />
events,and howwesupport oneanother.<br />
Our junior school students have shown exceptional pride in their work<br />
and the school environment. We seepride everyday in theway students<br />
wear their uniforms, take care oftheir classrooms, and cheer on their<br />
peers during schoolactivities.<br />
We have been fortunate to have been participating in the Active As<br />
Programme during Akotime, andithas been greattosee so manyofour<br />
students engagedand enjoying trying somethingnew!<br />
We also encourage our students totake pride in their unique identities<br />
and cultures. <strong>Ashburton</strong> College is a diverse community, and we<br />
celebrate this diversity through various cultural events and activities.<br />
International Languages Week was incredibly popular, especially the<br />
InternationalFood Daythatwas enjoyed by all! Theseopportunities help<br />
studentstocontributetoaricher, more inclusiveschoolenvironment.<br />
Respectfor Others and OurEnvironment<br />
Respectisthe cornerstoneofaschool community. At <strong>Ashburton</strong>College,<br />
respectmeans treating otherswith kindnessand understanding, valuing<br />
different perspectives, and being mindful of our shared spaces. Our<br />
junior school students continue to demonstrate respect for each other<br />
and ourstaff.<br />
Being mindful of the language weuse within our space isacontinual<br />
focus for us here atAshColl. Respect also extends to how wetreat our<br />
environment. Our students are actively engaged in keeping our school<br />
clean and tidy. Initiatives like the rostered rubbish pick-up have seen<br />
students leading the charge in keepingour spaces tidy.<br />
Livingthe AshColl Values<br />
As we continue through the school year, weencourage all members of<br />
our school communitytokeep livingthe AshCollValues of Quality, Pride,<br />
and Respect. These values are not just words on apage; they are the<br />
guiding principles that helpusgrowasindividuals and as acommunity.<br />
Together, wecan create aschool environment where everyone feels<br />
valued, supported, and empowered toreach their full potential. Thank<br />
you to all our students, staff, and whānau for their ongoing dedication<br />
to upholding these values. Let's continue towork together tomake<br />

Saturday was all about Shakespeare performances –and the group saw<br />
many of them, both five and fifteen-minute extracts of Shakespeare,<br />
interpretedinsomanyinnovativewaysand from so many different plays.<br />
Windy Wellington fulfilled its billing so, instead of going on an evening<br />
promenade down theesplanade,cards were played, beingvarious versions<br />
ofUno and some friendlyPoker games.<br />
Saturday wasalsothe last chance forrehearsal andmaking sure thetiming<br />
of the piece was consistent, with the performers and Jacqui as Director,<br />
making the most of thattime.<br />
Sunday<br />
Early Sunday morning it was back to St James’ Theatre and straight<br />
backstage,tothe designateddressing room.<br />
Jacqui said thatthis wasanabsolutetreat,using dressing roomsfrequented<br />
by professional actors and dancers who have performed in this iconic venue.<br />
Jacqui applied Luke’s make-up, and had fun with the shadowing and<br />
bruising special effects in order tomake him look truly corpse-like. During<br />
the performance, Luke’s corpse bleeds inthe presence ofhis murderer, an<br />
effect whichwas perfectedusing blood capsules.<br />

up with, and how everyone had adifferent and interesting take onthe<br />
classic Shakespeareplays.<br />
So, tobepart ofsuch amarvellous festival is<br />
already such an honour, not to mention the<br />
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform<br />

Meterdatahelpspipe renewal<br />
Council will prioritise waterpipe<br />
renewals in Methven, as part of its<br />
response to data gatheredfrom<br />
watermetersinstalled in the town<br />
18 months ago.<br />
The 1,213 meters havehighlighted water<br />
losses in Council’s22km pipe network<br />
andinprivate connections, accordingtoa<br />
report to Council.<br />
Council’sGroup Manager of Infrastructure<br />
andOpen Spaces, Neil McCann, said the<br />
information from the meters is valuable<br />
in helping managewater supplyand<br />
demandinthe future.<br />
“The losses canbemoreaccurately<br />
described as unaccounted-for water, and<br />
will include leaks in the privateand public<br />
pipe network,orunmeteredconnections,<br />
faulty meters or illegalconnections."<br />
Data from the watermetersisshowing<br />
the differencebetween waterleaving<br />
thereservoirsatthe treatment plantand<br />
watermeasured by the watermeters.<br />
“Atthe moment that’s showing that<br />
three-quartersofthe unaccounted-for<br />
waterisonthe public network,sowe<br />
willbebringing forwardpipe renewals in<br />
Methven, particularly on older partsofthe<br />
network.”<br />
The original Methven waterpipe network<br />
wasinstalled around 1925, but has been<br />
renewedovertime and only about 2.8km<br />
of the original pipes remain; another<br />
1.7km wasinstalled prior to 1980.<br />
Mr McCann said the 3.7kmtrunk main<br />
from thewatertreatment plantto<br />
Methventownwas installed in 1967 and<br />
new bulk flowmetersatthe town end<br />
would help identify any issues on thatpart<br />
Cr Phill Hooper<br />
Steering clear of negativedrift<br />
Over the lastcouple of months,<br />
wehaveasked our community<br />
fortheir feedback on theLong<br />
Term Plan proposal. NowIhave<br />
another ask of our community,or<br />
asmall part of our community.<br />
When youare Council bashing on<br />
social media, please be mindful that<br />
thereare real lifehuman beingsonthe<br />
end of your bashing.<br />
I’mnot forone secondsaying don’t<br />
comment at all, but why nottryand<br />
makeitconstructive?<br />
As aCouncil we worked alot of hours<br />
on theLongTerm Plantryingtoget to<br />
theright decisions. Hoursofreading,<br />
talking to the public, listening to<br />
submissions and then deliberating.<br />
Ican understand people’s frustrations<br />
when we didn’t decide in theirfavour.<br />
We didn’tall agree witheachother<br />
of the network.<br />
“They arebig pipes, and havethe potential<br />
forbig leaks, leaksthatcouldalsoaffect<br />
thewhole town’s waterpressure.”<br />
Hesaid information from the watermeters<br />
hadhelped identify leaksonprivate<br />
connections too.<br />
“Fixing those private leakscan also<br />
prevent wasteordamagetodriveways<br />
andfoundations.<br />
“Had we notdone the trial, we might have<br />
been focusing on the wrongareas, but<br />
Council cannow focus on certainparts<br />
of its networktorepair or replacepipes.<br />
Renewing pipes is onlypartofitthough,<br />
becausefittings, joins, valves and hydrants<br />
canall develop issues over time, especially<br />
in roadswherethey’re under load.<br />
“So,watermetersare abig help, butwe<br />
stillneed regularleakdetection to spot<br />
newproblems as theyarise.”<br />
aroundthe table either,but that’s<br />
democracy.<br />
We gotaccusedofnot listeningtothe<br />
people around theTinwald Pool,but<br />
only 31% of submitters wanted it to be<br />
kept.Thatmeans 69% of submitters<br />
wantedsomething else. To me that is<br />
listening to the people.<br />
We gotslammed around our decision<br />
regardingthe Balmoral Hall. In fact,<br />
tworegular commenterssaid: “I think<br />
our council needs demolitioning”!!!<br />
(excuse my spelling,but Idowant to<br />
quote them accurately) and “You bring<br />
thesledgehammersand I’ll bring the<br />
prybarsand shovels, we candoit”.<br />
Iwonder if those twopeople watched<br />
us debatefor overthree hoursonthe<br />
Balmoral Hall decision?Can Isuggest<br />
to the twopeople in question, don’t<br />
worryabout your sledgehammers and<br />
shovels, justbring your nomination<br />
formsfor the local body electionsnext<br />
The report thatCouncillors received on<br />
Wednesday said Methven waschosen for<br />
thetrial as the Council scheme had the<br />
highestreportedwater loss.<br />
The data helps measuredaily demand<br />
and understand typicalhousehold<br />
consumption, as well as flag leaks and<br />
burstpipes.<br />

Rural recycling sites ring changes<br />
Council has made some changes at its<br />
satelliterecycling sites, aimed at reducing<br />
contamination and encouraging good<br />
recycling habits.<br />
Metalbarshavebeen fixed to thelarge<br />
recycling bins at Mt Somers, Willowby,<br />
Pendarves, Hinds and Methven,sothat<br />
the lids onlyopen asmalldistance.<br />
This should stop people putting large<br />
bags of rubbish intothe recycling and<br />
contaminating it.<br />
It shouldalso encouragethosewho bag<br />
up cans or plastics forrecycling, to take<br />
them out of the bags beforerecycling and<br />
flatten any cardboard. Items in bags can’t<br />
be processed by the sorting machines.<br />
Infrastructureand Open Spaces Group<br />
Manager Neil McCann said Council<br />

thatsome people aredumping large<br />
non- recyclable itemsorlarge bags of<br />

Junior hockey celebrate Olympicweek<br />
TONI.WILLIAMS<br />
@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />
Junior Mid Canterbury hockey<br />
players have been hitting the<br />
turf in Olympic fashion this week<br />
with some special guests <br />
former New Zealand hockey<br />
representatives Barry Maister,<br />
Stacey McKerchar, Hugh<br />
Copland and Ryan Wilson.<br />
Mid Canterbury Hockey<br />
administrator Mel Doyle said<br />
this week the theme was the<br />
Olympics and each team was<br />
asked to dress up for the<br />
occasion.<br />
It is part of Matariki hockey<br />
celebrations ahead of next<br />
month’s Olympic Games.<br />
It continues today from 4pm<br />
with the Mini Sticks and Kiwi<br />
Sticks at the turf. The Kwik<br />
Sticks dressed up yesterday.<br />
The special guests are all<br />
former national representatives<br />
living in the district. They will<br />
present Player of the Day awards<br />
and players will enjoy a<br />
sausage sizzle. There will also be<br />
time for questions and to show<br />
possible pathways in the sport.<br />
Doyle has hit the ground<br />
running since taking on the role<br />
last month.<br />
The former Canterbury<br />
representative, with regional<br />
development officer Mike<br />
Millar, is keen to see more Mid<br />
Canterbury players drawn into<br />
the sport.<br />
HOCKEYMAD: Mid Canterbury Hockey administrator Mel Doyle.<br />
Hockey in the district has 520<br />
members 203 adult and<br />
secondary level players, and 317<br />
primary school and mini aged<br />
players.<br />
Those numbers were down on<br />
preCovid figures when hockey<br />
had more than 600 playing.<br />
Doyle said they were good<br />
numbers and,with the help of<br />
juniorhockey extension<br />
programmes such as festival<br />
days and tournaments, could<br />
boost player interest.<br />
‘‘It’s giving our juniors a<br />
chance to have exposure to out<br />
of town teams, which as a(young)<br />
hockey player was the most<br />
exciting thing in the whole<br />
world, getting to play against<br />
someone else and travel, go to<br />
tournaments,’’ she said.<br />

Doyle, nee Tiplady, 46, is<br />
hockey mad and enjoys<br />
everything about the sport.<br />
‘‘I just love the skills involved,<br />
the fitness, the whole package.<br />
Everything is all inclusive. You<br />
have to have good handeye coordination,<br />
be able to run and<br />
dribble, and shoot and push.<br />
‘‘I just think it’s abeautiful<br />
thing.’’<br />
Doyle grew up in ahockey<br />
family in Christchurch, and<br />
played the game from an early<br />
age. She was in the Riccarton<br />
High School First XI and played<br />
premium women for Selwyn<br />
Hockey Club.<br />
Doyle then played in Sydney,<br />
Australia for Sydney University,<br />
and East Coast Dolphins.<br />
She was on attack at left wing.<br />
‘‘As Igot older Imoved<br />
backwards into centre half,<br />
which was more about the<br />
distribution of the ball rather<br />
than the scoring of the goals.<br />
‘‘I was all about the scoring of<br />
the goals,’’ she said of her<br />
younger years.<br />
‘‘I’m ahockey mad person. My<br />
son played, my daughter now<br />
plays, my father still plays on the<br />
grassinChristchurch.<br />
Through hockey she has made<br />
some lifelong friends.<br />
‘‘I went on to see players I<br />
played with go to the<br />
Commonwealth Games. It made<br />
me proud to see the girls that I<br />
grew up with playing for New<br />

BASE CLEAN: <strong>Ashburton</strong>'s war memorial at Baring Square West is<br />
fenced off for work to remove stains from some of the wreaths laid<br />
on Anzac Day.<br />
Cenotaphclean<br />
BY JONATHAN LEASK<br />
Local democracy reporter<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s war memorial<br />
needs aclean after wreaths<br />
stained the stonework base.<br />
The wreaths were laid at the<br />
annual Anzac Day<br />
commemorations in Baring<br />
Square West on April 25.<br />
District council business<br />
support group manager Leanne<br />
Macdonald said the stains were<br />
spotted when wreaths were<br />
removed about two weeks after<br />
Anzac Day as usual.<br />
“This is the first time that we<br />
have encountered this and<br />
believe that paint from some of<br />
the wreaths is the cause,’’<br />
Macdonald said.<br />
“Most of the damage is on the<br />
bluestone at the base of the<br />
cenotaph.”<br />
The district council has<br />
engaged aspecialist<br />
stonemason to clean the<br />
cenotaph, who started last<br />
Thursday and was expected to<br />
finish this week.<br />
“It will likely require<br />
multiple applications of<br />
stripping agent, poultice, and or<br />
mechanical removal,<br />
sympathetic to the stone type.<br />
“This work is weather<br />
dependent, and dependent on<br />
the specialist’s availability.”<br />
The cenotaph was unveiled in<br />
1928 and bears the names of 432<br />
Mid Canterbury people who lost<br />
their lives in defence of the<br />
country.<br />
It underwent some<br />
restoration work in 2020.<br />
Specialist workers gave the<br />
14m sandstone monument a<br />
handwash, sprayed any lichen<br />
and moss, and replaced the<br />
mortar to clean and repair the<br />
monument.<br />

Restoring lawand order<br />
This past week Ihave been<br />
undertaking my duty as chair<br />
of the Parliament’s Justice<br />
Committee to scrutinise the<br />
government’s plans on how it<br />
will spend your taxpayer<br />
dollars in Budget <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
The Justice Committee held<br />
hearings for ministers<br />
responsible for anumber of<br />
justicerelated portfolios,<br />
including Police,<br />
Corrections, Justice, Serious<br />
Fraud, AttorneyGeneral and<br />
Firearms Reform.<br />
These hearings are an<br />
important part of our<br />
constitutionalsystem of<br />
scrutiny, where the<br />
government must come to<br />
Parliament and seek<br />
permission to tax and spend<br />
on your behalf.<br />
They are an opportunity for<br />
MPs to find out exactly what<br />
the government plans to<br />
spend your money on, and ask<br />
questions about how it will<br />
benefit the New Zealand.<br />
For us in the Justice<br />
Committee it was an<br />
opportunity to hear from<br />
experienced Ministers such<br />
as Hon Mark Mitchell (Police<br />
and Corrections), and Hon<br />
Paul Goldsmith (Justice)<br />
about how the government<br />
intends to keep New<br />
Zealanders safe and restore<br />
law and order.<br />
Police Minister Mark<br />
Mitchell for example found<br />
$55.1 million in savings to reallocate<br />
to our frontline<br />
police services, including<br />
funding for an additional 500<br />
new police officersthat are<br />
desperately needed around<br />
the country as crime<br />
continues to rise.<br />
Included in the Budget was<br />
also funding set aside to boost<br />
police pay under the current<br />
negotiations, and $62.7m for<br />
frontline police vehicles and<br />
maritime capability.<br />
In the past couple of months<br />
Ihave visited both the<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> and Timaru police<br />
stations, and have seen<br />
firsthand the need for<br />
continued maintenance of the<br />
assets there.<br />
While morale within our<br />
police remains high,<br />
especially among our new<br />
recruits who are passionate<br />
about policing and keeping<br />
our communities safe, we<br />
must always remain aware of<br />
the fact that ongoing<br />
investment will be needed.<br />
We will continue our<br />
programme of identifying<br />
savings and growing the<br />
economy so that more<br />
resource can be pumped into<br />
the frontline.<br />
In Corrections the Minister<br />
has reallocated $442m in<br />
savings back into the<br />
frontline, including funding<br />
to increase the number of<br />
frontline Corrections<br />
Officers, increasingthe<br />
numberofprison beds at<br />
Waikeria (includingbeds in a<br />
dedicated mental health and<br />
addiction service), and for the<br />
first time funding for<br />
rehabilitation services for<br />
prisoners on remand who<br />
previously were ineligible for<br />
rehabilitation.<br />
It makes no sense to have<br />
prisoners in our system and<br />
not try to rehabilitate them,<br />
so we will do just that.<br />
In the wider justice space,<br />
there are anumber of new<br />
initiatives to deal with our<br />
stronger approach to law and<br />
order.<br />
We are investing$4.8m to<br />
implementatougher<br />
approach to sentencing,<br />
includingreintroducingthe<br />
Three Strikes regime and<br />
strengtheningsentencing<br />
laws.<br />
We have $8.9m to support<br />
courts with the anticipated<br />
increase of gang members<br />
taken off our streets, and we<br />
are investing $8.1m as part of<br />
our target to address and<br />
reduce serious youth<br />
offending.<br />
We will restore law and<br />
order in New Zealand and get<br />
our public safety back on<br />
track.<br />

LETTER TO EDITOR<br />
Re: Budget advice forced to<br />
close, <strong>June</strong> 13<br />
As chair of the former<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> Budget Advisory<br />
Service until it was transferred<br />
into the oversight of<br />
Presbyterian Support in 2014, I<br />
was shocked to hear of the<br />
sudden cessation of funding<br />
for the service.<br />
The winding up of the<br />
service as it was, took alot of<br />
soul searching on the part of<br />
the former governance board<br />
but we were convinced that<br />
Presbyterian Support as a<br />
professional social services<br />
agency could make amuch<br />
better job of managing the<br />
service and its employees than<br />
agroup of volunteers.<br />
Since that time 10 years ago,<br />
Budget Advicehas flourished<br />
and provided avery<br />
professional service, with the<br />
expertise of Presbyterian<br />
Supportenabling it to provide<br />
awraparound servicetothose<br />
needing help with managing<br />
debt.<br />
The manager and advisors<br />
have built up awide range of<br />
knowledge and contacts to<br />
enable them to assist an evergrowing<br />
number of clients.<br />
It is hard to see that the<br />
present cutting of funding<br />
causing the complete cessation<br />
of the existing serviceand the<br />
redundancy of its very<br />
experienced staff, has<br />
SHARE YOUR VIEWS<br />
received the same amount of<br />
research and care that the<br />
previous governance board<br />
carried out, and hard to<br />
understand the rationale of<br />
completely wiping out avery<br />
successful service to this<br />
community in this present<br />
economic climate.<br />
With the funding only<br />
covering 1.5 staff, and the<br />
geographical area being<br />
expanded, there will be aa<br />
great number of people unable<br />
to access the help they<br />
desperately need.<br />
On behalf of the former<br />
governance board, Iwould like<br />
to acknowledge the very<br />
professional manager and all<br />
the advisors who have<br />
contributed to the service over<br />
so many years and who have<br />
provided at times, alifesaving<br />
service to so many people.<br />

Lexus offers across the board performance<br />
BY BOB NETTLETON<br />
Bringing the adrenaline rush<br />
and performance swagger to<br />
the Lexus RX large SUV range<br />
is the 500h FSport with its high<br />
roller $142,990 price tag.<br />
This RX has undergone a<br />
total revamp, providing more<br />
convincing across the board<br />
performance, and exudes the<br />
class and quality that<br />
personifies the Lexus brand.<br />
The only RX power train<br />
offered here is apetrol electric<br />
hybrid.<br />
Admission to the RX club is<br />
largely limited to those with six<br />
figures plus to spend on ahighend<br />
large luxury SUV.<br />
You get afoot in the door with<br />
the $120,990 for the RX 350h,<br />
followed by the $131,990<br />
Limited we road test recently,<br />
and $135,990 if you tick the<br />
Enhancement Pack.<br />
There is asubstantial and<br />
slightly scary financial leap to<br />
the exhilarating $142,990 RX<br />
500h FSport under<br />
examination in this road test.<br />
This latest RX is aclean<br />
sheet design and brings a<br />
revolutionary twist in the<br />
evolution of this iconic Lexus<br />
SUV.<br />
Adding serious wow factor is<br />
the FSport in completely<br />
different stratosphere with<br />
seriously impressive<br />
performance, helping it make a<br />
strong case as agenuine<br />
performance orientated luxury<br />
SUV.<br />
This model show cases how<br />
leading edge hybrid technology<br />
like this, and atenacious allwheel<br />
drive system can be a<br />
formidable force for<br />
performance good, in awell<br />
executed package such as this.<br />
The engineering team must<br />
have had areal light bulb when<br />
it created Bladescan adaptive<br />
highbeam headlights.<br />
This is agenuinely<br />
enlightened and ever so clever<br />
ground breaking design.<br />
Rotating bladeshaped<br />
mirror are used to enhance the<br />
performance and darkness<br />
penetrating illumination<br />
qualities of the LED headlights,<br />
so owners are never kept in the<br />
dark.<br />
Under the bonnet is one of<br />
the most advanced selfcharging<br />
hybrid electric<br />
drivetrains on the planet,<br />
featuring asuper quick 2.4 litre<br />
fourcylinder turbo petrol<br />
engine.<br />
Not sure of its pedigree but<br />
it’s afirst time caller to our<br />
market but most likely used in<br />
selected USA Lexus models,<br />
ADRENALINE RUSH: Lexus RX<br />
500h FSport.<br />
where the brand is aluxury<br />
market colossus. In the FSport<br />
with acouple of decent sized<br />
batteries in tow it makes a<br />
mighty <strong>27</strong>3kw of pulsating<br />
power.<br />
For those wondering what a<br />
performance orientated Lexus<br />
hybrid would go like, the short<br />
answer is with sensational<br />
pace, and remarkable<br />
smoothness. It impresses on so<br />
many fronts.<br />
The crisp shifting auto is<br />
hard to fault largely because it<br />
rarely ever deviates from the<br />
high standard it sets.<br />
Flatfolding rear seats create<br />
agenerously proportion rear<br />
cargo compartment with<br />
passenger space both front and<br />
rear hovering around the large<br />
luxury class SUV norm.<br />
Some will lament the loss of a<br />
third row of rear seats a<br />
popular feature<br />
in the previous<br />
model.<br />
The settings<br />
of the<br />
independent<br />
suspension are<br />
firmer for the<br />
FSport in<br />
recognition of<br />
its new<br />
powerhouse<br />
performance<br />
status.<br />
With AWD<br />
fighting its<br />
corner, grip and<br />
traction are exceptional and a<br />
master stroke by the Lexus<br />
suspension tuning crew.<br />
Given its extra height and<br />
weight the test vehicle nibble<br />
and easy to manipulate over<br />
twisty terrain.<br />
Such road holding<br />
athleticism has been created,<br />
while retaining just the right<br />
balance of ride comfort.<br />
The subtle balance between<br />
luxury performance SUV road<br />
holding and maintaining the<br />
high standards of comfort the<br />
Lexus faithfully demand is a<br />
triumph for the FSport<br />
engineering team.<br />

Is it just me, or does the year seem to be<br />
speeding up? Weare halfway through<br />
<strong>2024</strong>already,and thereare just183 sleeps<br />
until Christmas.<br />
But let’s take apause. This coming<br />
long weekend offers the opportunity to<br />
do just that,tostart the year over because<br />
Matariki marks the start ofthe Māori<br />
New Year.<br />
Signified by the Matarikicluster of stars,<br />
also known as Pleiades, reappearing in<br />
our night sky, it is atime to reflect on the<br />
past year,celebratethe present, andplan<br />
for the year ahead.<br />
Mātauranga Māori(ancestralknowledge<br />
and wisdom) is at the heartofcelebrations<br />
of the Matariki public holiday and is a<br />
time forremembrance-honouring those<br />
we havelost sincethe last risingofMatariki;<br />
celebrating the present -gathering together<br />
to givethanksfor what we have;looking<br />
to the future- looking forward tothe<br />
promise of anew year.<br />
Historically,the cluster wasalso closely<br />
tied to planting, harvesting and hunting.<br />
If the stars appeared clear and bright,<br />
it signified anabundant season ahead.<br />
(newzealand.com).<br />
However you and your whānau plan<br />
to celebrate this weekend, we wish you<br />

IN BRIEF<br />
Coffee on the goonMain North Road<br />
Coffee is awidely-loved answer tomyriad<br />
issues. For three Main North Road children<br />
caffeinating travellers at their roadside stall,<br />
it’s about financing their interests -for now,<br />
mostly toys.<br />
Foreight-year-old Finlay,itis“ayellowtruck<br />
with aloaderonitIsaw at Grandpa’sToysin<br />
Geraldine.”Michaiah (6)isalso keen to buy a<br />
toy truck with his coffee cash. 10-year-old<br />
Laycee’sfocus is elsewhere: “I’m thinking of a<br />
micro-miniaturecow.”<br />
The three arehomeschooled and sell coffee,<br />
fluffies, and hot chocolateoutside their home<br />
as their schooling and the weather allow. Likely<br />
on the adviceoftheir canine friend, Coco,dog<br />
waterand treats arefree.<br />
Purchasing power isthe upfront benefit<br />
for the siblings, but there isbigger payback<br />
on offer, says their mum, Amelia Riley. “It’s a<br />
great opportunity for the children tobuild<br />
confidence, people skills, moneymanagement<br />
skills, get atasteofthe worldofenterprisein<br />
real-time, and hopefully brighten someone’s<br />
day,aswell as theirown in theprocess -which<br />
really is the best part.” JAN FINLAYSON<br />

Julian ofNorwich (c1343- after 1416) was an<br />
English mystic whose work emerged from<br />
obscurity in the last hundred years, having been<br />
almost lost for about 600 years.<br />
She was well ahead ofher time and, some say,<br />
even of ours. Thomas Merton says, “Julian is a<br />
mighty theologian inall her simplicity and love.”<br />
We will learn about her life and writings<br />
and spend some time learning tomeditate.<br />

“Itwas [the late]RoAclandthatbrought the<br />
idea of the Auction of Talents back from her<br />
sister’s church in Hawkes Bay. Ourfirst auction<br />
wasin1994,withMikeDentonasthe auctioneer.<br />

professional do the job. Wesold 140 tickets,<br />
whichisthe limitthe hall cantake.<br />
“The firstyear, the$10 ticket included dinner<br />
[it increased incrementally to $25 in2004].<br />
The menfolk peeled the potatoes the previous<br />
day. In 2006,wedispensed with themealand<br />

Belinda says the parish was lucky that the<br />
2019 eventsnuck in just aheadofthe pandemic,<br />
with the restrictions eased again intime for<br />

But wait, there’s more. “Weekends at holiday<br />

Hi everyone, Winter is truly here, not<br />
necessarily marked bythe snow onthe<br />
mountains but certainly by the number<br />
of frosts we’veexperienced, birdfeeders<br />
hanging in the trees, firewood piles, and<br />
limited sun to dry clothes.<br />
Let’s turn our attention tobrighter<br />
things -sculptures. The teams havebeen<br />
focused on standardising documents,<br />
contracts, agreements, et cetera;talking<br />
with established entities like the Wellington<br />
Sculpture Trust and Tai Tapu Sculpture<br />
Garden; attending presentations and<br />
discussions; building relationships with<br />
artists; attending exhibitions; visiting<br />
potential donors; andmuch, much more.<br />
While eachachievement we’vemade<br />
so farhas broughtexcitement,patience,<br />
and alittle frustration at times, not to<br />
mention wonderful feelings of satisfaction,<br />
if Iamhonest,getting intofocus around<br />
sculptures is probably the most exciting<br />
stage and potentially what we will<br />
be applauded or criticised for the most.<br />
And that’s okay asart is all about the<br />
experience, and that is truly up to the<br />
individual. Evoking emotions, love, or<br />
dislikefor apiece, this will be talked about,<br />
and debated, and that is fun. Thereisno<br />
right or wrong, the works will be what<br />
they are. Big, small, obscure, or weird -<br />
it’s all art.<br />
Please know we aredoing our best to<br />
bring diverse and memorable works to<br />
the trail. However, as with allgood things,<br />
this takestime. We ask foryour patience<br />
while we work through the hurdles. The<br />
challenge: canwedeliver on ourpromise<br />
to make the Geraldine Sculpture Trail<br />
unique in New Zealand? To spark your<br />
interest,I’d liketosharesome art. These<br />
may not be the sculptures you’ll see on<br />
the trail, buttheyserve as astarting point<br />
for aconversation about the unique<br />
nature ofour project. ROSIE<br />

regular tasks, too, to ensure the school is<br />
safe,tidy,functional,and foreverimproving.<br />
In the process, he ends up saving the school<br />
alot of money!<br />
Malcolm’s friendly greetingdoesn’t go<br />

Club<br />
<strong>June</strong> meeting. President Merv welcomed<br />
54 members and one visitor to the meeting.<br />
There were 10 apologies. Members were<br />
reminded that subscriptions are now due and<br />
the fee is $50. The mini speaker was Alan<br />
Andrews who spoke about his life so far.<br />
He was born in 1944, the youngest of<br />
three boys. He attended Waitaki Boys High<br />
until the sixth form, then worked on the family<br />
farm at his father’s request. His oldest brother<br />
developed leukaemia and tragically died at the<br />
age of 21.<br />
Alan joined the Young Farmers Club and<br />
became active in the political side with trips to<br />
Parliament on occasions.<br />
In 1988 he also developed cancer and<br />
spent eight months with treatment from the<br />
hospital. He spoke in detail about his recovery.<br />
Part of the farm at Glenavy was borderdyked<br />
and he was encouraged to develop<br />
more with finance from the bank but turned it<br />
down, which in hindsight was very wise due to<br />
increasing mortgage rates.<br />
In 2001 he sold the property and moved up<br />
to Geraldine and, after achance meeting with<br />
aperson at Ritchies bus company, secured a<br />
job as abus driver which he continued for<br />
many years.<br />
Alan was encouraged to write abook on<br />
his life, which he called Seventy Years On,<br />
and he is in the process of writing another.<br />
Our main speaker was Maurice McTigue<br />
who continued his talk from when he spoke to<br />
the club in February as our mini speaker.<br />
He said that in 1984 the New Zealand<br />
economy was flat broke and on its knees with<br />
growth rate at one per cent and high levels of<br />
inflation and unemployment.<br />
He said that government should be of laws<br />
and not men, meaning you can’t do anything in<br />
government unless there’s alaw that supports<br />
it, and that economic justice can best be won<br />
by free people through free enterprise. That’s<br />
what New Zealand was built on. The idea that<br />
people would put together their skills and<br />
capital and that would provide for them and<br />
their family, and also provide employment.<br />
We need to remain cautious and protective<br />
of the fact that our freedom and democracy<br />
is guaranteed by ‘‘one person, one<br />
vote‘‘.<br />
People in office should be accountable for<br />
their actions.<br />
There has to be consequences for failure<br />
and bad behaviour. Parliaments are better<br />
than bureaucracies, but they are not great,<br />
except that we can control who’s there. That<br />
was until MMP came in.<br />
He touched on the subject of inflation and<br />
said if there’s too much money in circulation<br />
you drive down the value of the purchasing<br />
power of your dollar. He also answered<br />
questions from the floor.<br />
Avote of thanks was given by Dour Collie<br />
and presented him with afruit tray.<br />
President Merv then closed the meeting<br />
with the singing of the National Anthem.<br />

School speedchanges due in district<br />
BY JONATHAN LEASK<br />
Local democracy reporter<br />
The 30kph school speed limits will be retained. Supplementary signs will be added once the<br />
government law change allows it.<br />
Variable speed limits are likely<br />
to be introduced around<br />
<strong>Ashburton</strong> schools by the end of<br />
the year<br />
The changes to the <strong>Ashburton</strong><br />
District’s 30kph school speed<br />
zones are proposed after the<br />
government released its<br />
revised Land Transport Rule.<br />
Transport Minister Simeon<br />
Brown said the revised rule will<br />
require variable speed limits<br />
outside schools during pickup<br />
and dropoff times.<br />
“Local streets outside a<br />
school will be required to have<br />
a30kph variable speed limit<br />
during school travel times.<br />
“Rural roads that are outside<br />
schools will be required to have<br />
variable speed limits of 60kph<br />
or less.”<br />
The previous rule allowed<br />
variable speed limits but<br />
required expensive electronic<br />
signage, while the revised rule<br />
allows for static signs<br />
indicating the timerestricted<br />
speed zones.<br />
In February thedistrict<br />
council approved changingits<br />
30kph school zones to be timerestricted<br />
as soon as the law<br />
allowed.<br />
The district council decided<br />
the signage will be for school<br />
days from 8.30am to 9.30am and<br />
2.30 to 3.30pm, once the new<br />
rule is introduced.<br />
With the revised rule now out<br />
for consultation, it is expected<br />
Brown will sign off the new<br />
rules before the end of the<br />
year.<br />
Infrastructureand open<br />
spaces group manager Neil<br />
PHOTO FILE<br />
McCann said the district<br />
council will submit on the<br />
proposed rule changes,<br />
supportingthe timerestricted<br />
variable zones.<br />
When the new rule is<br />
adopted it will likely require<br />
another report to the district<br />
council because the decision in<br />
February agreed to the static<br />
signs but not to the variable<br />
speed limit, McCann said.<br />
Any changes to the extent of<br />
the speed limits will also be<br />
included in any report as the<br />
new rule proposes amaximum<br />
distance of 300m for the<br />
variable 30kph speed limit<br />
from each school gate, he said.<br />
“We can probably have a<br />
report to council before the<br />
rule is adopted anticipating<br />
that the proposals will be<br />
adopted, with the aim to have<br />
changes adopted so the signs<br />
can be in placeready for the<br />
start of term 1in2025.”<br />
The government is also<br />
looking to reverse blanket<br />
speed limit reductions, enable<br />
some roads of national<br />
significance to havespeed<br />
limits of 110kph, and to<br />
consider economic impacts <br />
including travel times when<br />
setting speed limits.<br />
Consultation on the draft<br />
speed rule closes July 11.<br />

FORMER GLORY: The Catholic Basilica in Christchurch was badly damagedbythe<br />
earthquakes and demolished.<br />

Two saints who spent time in<br />
Canterbury and the name of<br />
the former cathedral are<br />
among ashortlist of seven<br />
possible names for the new<br />
Christchurch Catholic<br />
cathedral.<br />
Members of the Catholic<br />
Diocese of Christchurch,<br />
which includes Mid<br />
Canterbury, were invited to<br />
suggest potential names for a<br />
new cathedral last month to<br />
replace the Catholic Basilica<br />
in Christchurch damaged by<br />
the earthquakes and<br />
demolished.<br />
Suggestions drew 700<br />
responses and now a<br />
shortlist of seven potential<br />
names been put forward for<br />
shortlisting.<br />
The shortlisted namesfor<br />
the new Catholic cathedral<br />
in Christchurchare: St<br />
John Paul II, who visited<br />
Christchurch in 1986 while<br />
Bishop Michael Gielen<br />
he was Pope.<br />
StMary of the Cross<br />
MacKillop, who visited the<br />
Christchurch Diocese<br />
several times.<br />
The Cathedral of the<br />
Blessed Sacrament, the<br />
name of the building<br />
severely damaged in the<br />
Christchurch earthquakes,<br />
StJohn the Baptist, the<br />
patron saint of Christchurch<br />
Diocese.<br />
Blessed Carlo Acutis, an<br />
Italian teen who created a<br />
website to document<br />
Eucharistic miracles, and<br />
who will soon become a<br />
saint.<br />
Corpus Christi,aname<br />
which means ‘‘Body of<br />
Christ’’, andwitnesses to<br />
Catholics' devotion to the<br />
Eucharist.<br />
StFrancis of Assisi,<br />

the poor and<br />
underprivileged, care for<br />
nature and animals, and for<br />
shunningwealth to embrace<br />
poverty.<br />
At the completion of the<br />
suggestions, Catholic<br />
Diocese of Christchurch<br />
