Fire destroys Ray’s Gym BY KATIE TODD
KATIE.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ
A fire that tore through a “piece of history” in Tinwald could have been deliberately lit. Ray’s Gym at the Tinwald Rugby Football Club has been reduced to a pile of twisted metal and rubble, following a fire which started late on Tuesday night and is now the subject of an investigation. Firefighters arrived on the scene at around 11.30pm on Tuesday night to discover a fire
that was well involved, Fire and Emergency Ashburton Chief Fire Officer Alan Burgess said. Crews clad in full breathing apparatus from Ashburton, Rakaia, Hinds and Willowby worked throughout the early hours of Wednesday to ship in water, contain and extinguish the fire. “It’s destroyed the building, so we were basically working to put it out,” Burgess said. Rain began to fall in the early hours of Wednesday, but Burgess
said it wouldn’t have been enough to make an impact given the scale and “sheer heat” of the blaze. The fire was eventually brought under control at around 2am and fire crews departed close to 4am, Burgess said. Yesterday, police and fire investigators were working at the scene and a security guard was positioned in the driveway. The rubble attracted a steady stream of onlookers. Ray Thompson, who started the

gym in the 1970s before selling it to the rugby club, said he was disappointed to learn about the fire. “It’s been in a state of neglect for the past 10 years … but it’s been there for so long. It’s a piece of history,” he said. Most of the weight machines inside were home-made. “Back in the day I would go to Christchurch and do a workout, take a photo of the machine and then a friend would make it up the same in Ashburton,” Thomp-

i-SITE debate behind closed doors By Sue NewmaN
The drive to bring back some form of information service for central Ashburton has been a public one, with various ideas floated in the public domain. A number of those ideas have now been put to the council as formal proposals and these are on today’s service delivery committee agenda for discussion – behind closed doors, public excluded. One of those ideas was put forward by three Ashburton busi-
Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz
When the closure of Ashburton’s East Street i-SITE was signalled last year, there was an uproar from the community. Almost a year later angst over its closure remains with at least one community group continuing its work to revive an information based service for the i-SITE building. Others are eyeing the building for more commercial purposes.
cillors’ debate. Since the i-SITE closed the job of providing information and making bookings for travellers has been shared by the Ashburton Library and House of Travel. The original consent issued for the building included a condition that it could only be used for a business that provided information to the public. Any change in building use would require a variation of that consent.
person Tony Todd said. “However, my understanding is they’re also considering two other proposals as well and possibly they have some commercial sensitivity,” he said. “If it had just been ours we would have been quite comfortable with it being in open meeting.” Todd’s group will be speaking to their proposal at today’s meeting but will not be allowed to listen to other presentations or to coun-
nessmen who described their project as an i-SITE and more. They’ve kept the details under wraps, but hoped it would be ticked off by councillors today after what they assumed would be a public debate. Their project would not involve the council; it would be a community-based project with profits going back to the community. His group would have been comfortable with their proposal being debated publicly, spokes-
Spring Indulgence raises $76,000 for helipad A Mid Canterbury feast organised to raise money for a rooftop helipad at Christchurch Hospital has raised over $76,250. The Spring Indulgence at Trott’s Gardens on Saturday night was attended by over 180 guests in a generous mood. Over $76,250 was raised during the night through live and silent auctions, with the event well supported by a number of local sponsors. The money raised will help to fund a future-proof rooftop helipad and clinical support unit at Christchurch Hospital. Mid Canterbury patients flown to the hospital by helicopter currently land in nearby Hagley Park and are transported to the hospital, a trip that takes an average of 13 minutes. A rooftop helipad is part of new developments at the hospital and Chantelle Quinn (centre) and her catering team kept guests at last weekend’s Spring Indulgence the Maia Health Foundation and feast well fed and in a generous mood.

Ray’s Gym destroyed by fire From P1 Thompson recalled two friends from Seattle visiting and liking the gym so much they wrote about it on their blog. Other members of the public took to social media to express their disappointment at the loss, calling it the end of an era. Thompson, who is an exweightlifter and life member, had still visited around once a week up until the fire. “It was in such a run-down way I thought something was bound to happen – not a fire exactly, but I thought maybe it would fall down. “Now I can’t quite imagine it gone.” Tinwald Football Tues 14thRugby Aug 2018 Club president Skip Muir was Sat 18th Aug 2018 among those at the scene early yesterday morning.

Top sculptors from throughout New Zealand will converge on Ashburton this Saturday for the third biennial Ashburton Sculpture Symposium. There will be two weeks of furious chipping, carving and grinding at the Ashburton Domain, before a oneweek exhibition, then family fun day and on-site auction of pieces on November 11. “It will be interesting watching what happens because no two stones will be the same,” organiser Brent Holley said. The Ashburton Grace Gallery operator is himself one of the sculptors, and is looking forward to greeting compatriots including one from as far away as Australia. There will be a powhiri to welcome the 11 artists and a ballot will be held

for the choice of stone. The selection will be large pieces of both Timaru bluestone and Mt Somers limestone. “One of the sculptors at a previous event once called the stones hatchlings, so they are sitting there ready to be born into something,” Holley said. At the last symposium in 2016, the top price fetched at auction was $5000. Holley suggested anyone with even a slight interest in bidding should register, as this was free. The public were welcome to come along and view sculptors at work over the two weeks, and schools interested were also invited. The other artists are Moira Crossman, Pita Rua, Suzanne Emslie, Steve Molloy, Tai Meuli, Paul Deans, Rex O’Brien, Jocelyn Pratt, Debbie Templeton-Page and top South Korean sculptor Jina Lee, travelling from Australia.

Beating assailant earns home detention

Rabbit brutally dismembered By Katie todd
Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz
An Allenton family believe a human was responsible for brutally dismembering their bunny rabbit last Friday. Rajenda and Sandhya Prasad returned from an afternoon supermarket trip to discover their family pet, Kelly, lying dead in front of their laundry door with her ears cleanly sliced off, legs cut and nails pulled out. The incident has left them, their children Harshilla, Dan and his wife Biahaya, and their grandchildren “pretty shaken and scared”. The SPCA is investigating and Harshilla is warning other local pet owners to keep a close eye on their animals. Harshilla said Kelly had been their family pet for six or seven
years and had spent most of her time in a hutch in the garden. Every so often the Prasads would let their rabbit out to roam the spacious backyard, and she occasionally played with the children next door. “She would never run away though … and I would never have expected something like this to happen,” she said. “It’s just horrible.” Rajenda and Sandhya were out of the house for just half an hour when the incident took place on Friday. Harshilla, who studies in Christchurch, consoled her parents on the phone after they discovered the body and later as they buried it. She also reported it to the SPCA, who are yet to confirm whether a
human or animal was responsible. “I think I would have been okay if it was a dog or another animal. But her head was bashed in at the side, and the cuts were too even to be from a bite,” Harshilla said. “There was no blood, no missing fur, no teeth marks, nothing,” Sandhya said “The way she was, it looked like she had been killed and then cut.” Sandhya said she was disconcerted by the fact someone clearly knew the rabbit belonged to them, and specifically waited until they were out of the house to put it on the laundry doorstep. She was thankful it was her, not her grandchildren who discovered it – but Dan said it was still difficult to tell them what had happened.
“She’s just a rabbit. She’s done nothing wrong,” he said. To alert other pet owners, Harshilla posted on the Ashburton Guardian Facebook page about the incident on Friday. The Prasads have since received hundreds of supportive comments and messages from members of the community, as well as visits from sympathetic neighbours. The incident has been labelled “sick”, “heart-breaking” and “absolutely disgusting”. Harshilla said if someone had a problem with the animal, they could easily have spoken with her family or called animal control before turning to cruelty. “My concern is if they can do that to an animal, what else can they do?”
A Mid Canterbury man who defended himself against a knife attack then chased and beat his assailant was sentenced to three months home detention when he appeared in the Ashburton District Court this week. Michael Joseph Dunlea had admitted charges of injuring with intent and threatening to kill laid after the incident. The court was told at a previous hearing that the fight began after drinking and damage to a living space. Dunlea kicked the complainant, who dropped the knife and ran away. The defendant pursued him on a motorbike, then punched him to the face while he was on the ground and threatened to kill him. Police acknowledged the violence began after the complainant confronted Dunlea with a knife. Dunlea’s lawyer Karen Beaton said this week he was remorseful and able to make an emotional harm payment to the complainant. “Given the circumstances of the offending, it was a situation where the crown accepted there was some provocation and excessive self defence although it was acknowledged that ended once they left the property and went down the track.” Judge Joanna Maze had indicated a jail term was likely but she converted that to home detention, saying anything less was not appropriate as Dunlea had 11 previous convictions for violence. She also ordered him to pay $1000 to the complainant.

Celebrating all things country Students, pets and two local primary schools joined forces to celebrate all aspects of rural living yesterday. There was an absence of calves, but no shortage of festivities on the fields of Ashburton Christian School for Country Life Day. The annual event is described as a pet day and much more. This year, it was held in conjunction with Fairton School. Due to the threat of mycoplasma bovis, the two schools, like many others holding similar events across the district, opted not to allow any pet calves on their grounds. However, students were still able to enter their calves by submitting photos, vid-

eos or posters, which several opted to do. “We felt it was important to still be able to enter them, as some kids have spent quite some time with their calves,” acting principal Margaret Butler said. As well as animals, students could enter static categories like baking, floral arrangements and crafts. All entries were judged by guests from ANZ in the afternoon, before a prizegiving and a parade. Students dressed up in fancy dress, for which awards were handed out, and completed a colouring in competition for the A&P show. Butler said the event also provided opportunity for Year 9 and 10 students to gain leadership experience, by hosting games and activities for junior students in the morning.

When their minister resigned, members of the Rakaia Anglican parish faced a tough decision – to close their churches or look for a new person to take on their pastoral care. Archdeacon of Mid Canterbury Joan Clark decided that was a decision that had to be made by the members of the four churches that make up the parish – Rakaia, Dorie, Chertsey and Barrhill. She called a meeting of registered church members and asked them for ideas and suggestions. Clark was unsure how many would turn out to Monday’s meeting, but said she was surprised and delighted by the numbers. “It was a really positive meeting and they’re looking forward to continuing. I could have made a call but it’s the people of the district who needed to do that and they

strongly want this, they want their churches to stay open,” she said. With the decision made not to close the four rural churches, the job now became finding a new minister, Clark said. Currently the position would not be seen as full time, but in similar situations in other parts of New Zealand, retired ministers were often keen to pick up interim positions, she said. Until a replacement for departing minister Al Drye is found, monthly services at each church will be covered by the Ashburton parish and by ministers from out of the district, Clark said. Drye resigned from his position, following a resolution by the Anglican synod earlier this year to allow the blessing of same sex marriages. Some of the parishioners have also opted to leave the church over the issue.

In brief Not guilty pleas Three Ashburton people accused of more than 100 crimes of burglary, theft and dishonesty have entered not guilty pleas to the charges. Quentin James Parkinson, 38, Stacey Leigh Curtis, 28 and Jayden Eric Cromie, 29, have chosen trial by jury and the case will be next before a judge in the Timaru District Court for callover on November 23. The matters will be heard in one joint trial. The case is complicated by the sheer volume of charges the trio face. The charges followed a crime spree in Ashburton earlier this year The three have been released on bail.

Big revamp by new owners BP has bought back its West Street franchise and is redeveloping it into a BP Connect, with a Wild Bean Café. The petrol station has been temporarily closed to allow the
work, which should be complete by mid-November. The franchise was previously operated as a BP 2go by former owner-operator Rasek Ganda and a BP spokesperson said the
new look will be in line with other BP Connect stations around the country. “We are in the process of making some changes at the site which will give our Ashburton
customers the same as they would experience at any other BP Connect site, including a Wild Bean Café. We are working as quickly as we can to get the site up and running.”
It is time to slip, slop and slap again as ultra-violet (UV) radiation levels climb rapidly. Cooler spring temperatures and cloudy days are masking the risk, says the MetService. “Many people incorrectly believe that UV levels are related to temperature, which is a myth,” said meteorologist James Millward. “Cloudy days give people a false sense of security. A high percentage of UV gets through cloud.” The MetService has started its annual Sun Protection Alert on its forecasting website, and Mid Cantabrians are advised to seek shade and reapply sunscreen from 10.25am to 4.05pm this time of year.

Have there been any embarrassing moments in your working career? Many, many years ago the then chief reporter of the Guardian thought it would be a great idea to enter me in the Miss Ashburton pageant, so that I could write first-person pieces on the experience.

‘Evidence’ Khashoggi killed Police searching the Saudi Consulate have found evidence that Saudi writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed there, a high-level Turkish official said. Officials also appear ready to search the nearby residence of the consul general after the diplomat left the country. The comment by the Turkish official intensified pressure on Saudi Arabia to explain what happened to Khashoggi, who vanished in nearly October while visiting the consulate to pick up paperwork he needed to get married. President Donald Trump said after a phone call with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that he “totally denied any knowledge of what took place in their Turkish Consulate”. The crown prince “told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly,” Trump said in a tweet. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo travelled to Saudi Arabia to talk to King Salman and the 33-year-old crown prince about the fate of the journalist who wrote critically about the
The Saudi Arabia consul’s residence, in Istanbul, where security forces began setting up barricades in front of the residence just hours after Consul Mohammed al-Otaibi flew out of Turkey. PHTO AP Saudis for the Washington Post. While it was all smiles and handshakes in Riyadh, one prominent Republican senator said he believed that the crown prince, widely known as MBS, had Khashoggi “murdered”. “This guy has got to go,” said Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, speaking on Fox television. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said “serious evaluation” was
being given to whether US law enforcement officials would aid in the investigation of Khashoggi’s disappearance. He declined to comment further, or to say whether he had any concerns with the current investigation. Saudi officials have called Turkish allegations that a team of 15 Saudi agents killed Khashoggi “baseless,” but US media reports suggested that the kingdom may acknowl-
edge the writer was killed at the consulate, perhaps as part of a botched interrogation. The close US ally is ruled entirely by the Al Saud monarchy, and all major decisions in the ultraconservative kingdom are made by the royal family. The high-level Turkish official told the AP that police found “certain evidence” of Khashoggi’s slaying at the consulate, without elaborating. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing. Police planned a second search at the Saudi consul general’s home, as well as some of the country’s diplomatic vehicles, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said. Leaked surveillance video show diplomatic cars travelled to the consul general’s home shortly after Khashoggi went into the consulate. Consul General Mohammed al-Otaibi left Turkey earlier this week, state media reported, just as police began putting up barricades around his official residence. Saudi Arabia did not immediately acknowledge he had left or offer a reason for his departure. – AP
US airstrike kills 60 al-Shabab in Somalia The US military announced its deadliest airstrike against the al-Shabab extremist group in Somalia in nearly a year, killing about 60 fighters. The US Africa Command said last week’s airstrike occurred near the al-Shabab-controlled community of Harardere in Mudug province in the central part of the country. According to its assessment no civilians were injured or killed, the statement said. It was the largest US airstrike since one on November 21, 2017 killed about 100 al-Shabab fighters. The statement gave no further details about what was targeted, and a US Africa Com-
mand spokesman said it was not a camp. The US military has carried out more than two dozen airstrikes, including drone strikes, this year against the al-Qaidalinked al-Shabab, the deadliest Islamic extremist group in subSaharan Africa. Somalia marked the first anniversary of al-Shabab’s deadliest attack at the weekend, a truck bombing in Mogadishu that killed well over 500 people. It was the worst extremist attack ever in Africa. The US Africa Command spokesman said the airstrike had no link to the anniversary. The United States, which also
has targeted a small number of fighters linked to the Islamic State group in northern Somalia, has increased its military presence in the long-chaotic Horn of Africa nation since early 2017 to about 500 personnel after President Donald Trump approved expanded military operations. Al-Shabab, which seeks to establish an Islamic state in Somalia, continues to hold parts of the country’s south and central regions after being chased out of Mogadishu several years ago. The group, estimated at several thousands of fighters, still carries out deadly attacks against high-profile targets
such as hotels and checkpoints in the capital and other cities. It also remains a threat in parts of neighbouring Kenya. Some observers have questioned the effectiveness of airstrikes by the US and Kenya and raised concerns about civilians being killed. Somali forces are expected to take over responsibility for the country’s security from an African Union peacekeeping force in the next few years. The US says it continues to support that transfer even as some US military officials have joined AU officials and others in expressing concern that Somalia’s forces are not ready. - AP

Oscar for Kiwi actress? New Zealand actress Thomasin McKenzie has been tipped for an Oscar nomination for her breakout role in Leave No Trace. Columnist Scott Feinberg has named the 18-year-old Kiwi as a “major threat” for the best supporting actress category. Feinberg makes his prediction based off publicly available information, historical considerations, precursor awards and consultations with industry insiders. Although McKenzie is the leading actress in the film, Feinberg has her tipped for the supporting category as “young actresses usually wind up in the supporting category”.

Pompeii discovery shifts date of eruption New excavations in the ancient buried city of Pompeii have yielded a truly historic find: a charcoal inscription apparently dating the eruption of Mount Vesuvius to October of 79 AD, two months later than originally thought. Italian Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli was on hand for the announcement in Pompeii, where earlier this month archaeologists revealed a richly painted garden scene in a home that was unearthed dur-
ing excavations of a new sector of the vast site. The carbon inscription, found in a home, carries the equivalent date of October 17, and supports the idea that the eruption occurred a week later, rather than August 23 as had previously been thought. Bonisoli said the “extraordinary” discovery was important for science, history and art – and for showing off Italian expertise. – AP

Anna Burns wins Booker Anna Burns won the prestigious Man Booker Prize for fiction for Milkman, a vibrant, violent story about men, women, conflict and power set during Northern Ireland’s years of Catholic-Protestant violence. Burns is the first writer from Northern Ireland to win the £50,000 prize, which is open to English-language authors from around the world. The 56-year-old Belfast-born novelist said she was “stunned” to have won. Burns said her books took a long time to complete, and she has often struggled financially since her first novel was released in 2001. Burns said that with her prize money, “I will clear my debts and live on what’s left.”

Sustainability difficult for AirNZ
change what will it require from here on in for an airline to resecure its social licence to operate year on year? Last week the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned of the size of the challenge the world faces keeping global temperature rise to 1.5°C by the end of the century if catastrophic impacts from climate change are to be avoided. Airlines are major greenhouse
gas emitters, so they would need to be “the best in procuring efficiencies for every kilometre flown” in “an industry that is not familiar with particularly sophisticated leadership”. They would have to be the best at exploring new technological breakthroughs, such as in bio-fuels, and “the best in terms of partnering with civil society and with governments to make things happen much, much faster than they
are at present”. Porritt called on all air travellers to start offsetting their personal greenhouse gas emissions when they flew. Air NZ’s annual sustainability report found that while 130,000 travellers voluntarily offset their emissions last year compared with 40,000 the year before, that covered only 5 per cent of flights. Rejecting the view of some environmental groups that carbon offsetting was “one of the closest

Collapses affect AWF Madison earnings AWF Madison Group shares fell 3.7 per cent after the labour-hire firm said the collapse of three building companies dented its earnings. The company has taken an $800,000 provision after two customers failed in Christchurch and another fell over in Auckland. That resulted in a significant drop in earnings for its blue-collar unit as AWF’s migrant workers had to be redeployed, creating a mismatch of workers needed and those available. It cost the firm about $1 million.
AWF said first-half profit was $1 million to $1.5 million lower than the $3.4 million reported a year earlier. That implies profit was $1.9 million to $2.4 million in the six months ended Sept. 30. The company released the statement after the close of trading yesterday, and the stock fell 7 cents to $1.82 at yesterday’s open. About 12,000 shares have changed hands, compared to the stock’s 90-day average of 14,400. AWF faced weaker construction recruiting in the March 2018 year, with consenting delays and negative headlines over Filipino
migrants sapping demand for its services. Despite the downturn in the blue-collar arm of the business, AWF Madison’s white collar division registered first-half earnings growth and said total turnover was in line with the $143 million reported a year earlier. It also reported strong cash-flow and repaid $3 million of debt, leaving it with $5.7 million in the bank. That position also let AWF Madison make an opportunistic acquisition, buying Dunedin recruitment firm Select for an undisclosed sum. – NZME

A2 reiterated it expects revenue growth from infant formula sales in Australasia and China and liquid milk sales in the US. The firm’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation margin will largely reflect that growth in the June 2018 financial year, the company said. It hasn’t provided formal guidance, but the mean forecast among analysts predicts revenue of $1.25 billion in the current June year and ebitda of $385.4 million.

A2 milk sales meet expectations A2 Milk Co still sees annual revenue growth piggybacking off the strength of its infant formula products, after first-quarter sales met expectations. The milk marketer’s share of China’s infant formula consumption grew to 5.8 per cent in the three months through September, from a 5.1 per cent share in the June quarter. It also now has more than 10 per cent of the branded fresh milk market in New Zealand and Australia. Sales through that period were in line with A2’s expectations, which the company said reflected strong growth in infant formula and milk products. Growth in the formula products was across both English and Chinese labels.
things to the Devil in this world”, Porritt said “you have to go to a place where you take personal responsibility for your carbon footprint”. Porritt also said that anyone who now discussed climate change as an environmental issue was not yet in the right space. “When people start talking about climate change as an existential threat to the future of mankind, then you know they are in the right space.” Porritt apologised to his Air NZ hosts if he had “overdone the apocalypse” but “it’s not often you turn up here one week after the publication of a report like that”, referring to the latest IPCC report. Air NZ used its annual sustainability breakfast to announce that it was: removing all single-use plastic from its domestic flights and would now only use recyclable materials; had partnered with Ngati Porou to serve fish from the Gisborne/Tairawhiti region on its flights; and formed a partnership with the developers in New Zealand of an electric-powered selfflying taxi, which was touted as a low-carbon traffic-beater. – NZME

Air New Zealand is on a credible journey to try and be “the world’s least unsustainable airline”, the chair of the national carrier’s Sustainability Advisory Panel, Jonathon Porritt, told an assembly of senior politicians, airline stakeholders and journalists in Wellington. The son of Arthur Porritt, the New Zealand governor-general between 1967 and 1972, and a former leader of the UK Green Party said airlines around the world face an “existential challenge” in responding to climate change. Porritt acknowledged his comments were “not really what you describe as Luxon language”, referring to the airline’s chief executive, Christopher Luxon. He has committed Air New Zealand to a challenging target of achieving carbonneutral operations by 2020. “Christopher would much rather go to ‘most sustainable airline’, but we are living in a very real world when it comes to knowing what sustainability really means.” Porritt praised Air NZ for standing out among global aviation operators.

hether you were an early objector or a late acceptor, most in the Ashburton District would be pretty proud of our heritage and art centre. On the surface it’s pretty impressive – outside and in, but like many things in life, the building is not what it seems. Staff are working in, at best, trying conditions as they battle inadequate air conditioning and exterior cladding that seems to let in as much moisture as it keeps out. In simple terms the building that cost ratepayers $9 million ($3 million more than the original quote) is in many ways a lemon. And it’s been a lemon almost
before the first pile was driven in the ground. It might have architectural merit, but buildings can’t just look good, they also have to work well. And this one doesn’t. Yes, display spaces are great, allowing touring art and heritage exhibitions as well as local exhibitions and static displays to be shown to great advantage. But, and there’s a huge but in there.
The building isn’t weather tight and that has to be a combined failure of design and construction. It’s hard to understand how $9 million could be spent on something that fails to perform the most basic of functions – keeping out the rain and keeping the treasures inside safe. Bear in mind the building opened progressively in 2015 and from day one it’s had more than its share of issues. Quick fixes on leaky spots in its roof, it’s now on its second or third set of air conditioning units and still it’s a problem building. What is equally as unbelievable is that it appears to have taken its owners, the Ashburton District Council, an inordinate amount
of time to do anything about the problem other than applying sticking plasters. Investigations might have been going on behind the scenes, but it took a Guardian letter writer to draw a response from the council. The writer provided the Guardian with in-depth detail that adds up to just one thing, another big investment is looming in the building many did not want. Finally the council has acknowledged the art and heritage centre has a problem and finally it’s committed to finding a solution – three years too late. There are two big questions here – how could an architect get the design of a building with two very clear uses and needs so
horribly wrong and how could its builder construct it in a way that meant it failed in an area that’s critical in the storage of archives, artifacts and art – being moisture free. Two of our current councillors – Stuart Wilson and Peter Reveley and mayor Donna Favel must be quietly saying “I told you so”. They were strong objectors to the project from the outset but were over ruled by supporters. And Russell Ellis (now a councillor) who led a huge community protest and drove a 4000 strong signature petition must also be shaking his head in despair. The council’s finally realised that hiding a problem doesn’t make it disappear.

Helping New Zealand businesses innovate P
rime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Research, Science and Innovation Minister Megan Woods recently announced the Government’s new research and development tax incentive. This initiative helps businesses to expand their investment in research and development through a 15 per cent tax incentive, which will be available from the next tax year. The incentive will lift the amount businesses – from startups to established businesses – spend on research and development. This investment will help grow our economy by encouraging our businesses to expand their horizons into new products and new industries. Around 2000 Kiwi businesses will benefit from the incentive. In Ashburton, this will result in new jobs and new ways of working. The new incentive was designed based on consultation with businesses of all sizes about

what they need to help them invest in innovation. We’re delivering a userfriendly, fit-for-purpose scheme that will support a wide range of businesses to undertake more research and development. The incentive is part of the Government’s wider economic plan to help improve the lives of New Zealanders through better productivity, better sustainability, and growth that’s shared fairly across the community. While we have a strong budget surplus and broad-based growth across the economy, New Zealand’s spending on research and development continues to lag behind the rest of the world. While the OECD average level or research and development
spending is 2.4 per cent of GDP, in New Zealand we only spend around 1.4 per cent of GDP. In order to grow and share New Zealand’s prosperity more fairly, the coalition government has committed to working with businesses to lift research and development investments to 2 per cent of GDP by 2027. In Budget 2018, we set aside $1 billion over the next four years to support businesses to invest more in their research and development activity, getting get us closer to the international average, and also to attract innovative international firms to New Zealand. It is clear that we can’t continue to rely on an economy built on population growth, an overheated housing market and the export of raw commodities. That approach has led to the gap between rich and poor widening, our regions being neglected, and too many people being left behind. This government is turning that around by investing in new

facilities to help our regions grow, our family income package that helps 384,000 modest and middle income families to buy the things they need – mainly from Kiwi businesses, and now a tax incentive to help those same businesses stay ahead of the international competition. This is just one part of our plan to build an economy that is growing and working for all of us. We will continue to deliver for businesses, as well as easing the financial pressures on Kiwi families, to encourage innovation, productivity and build a skilled workforce.

■ GLOBAL DAIRY TRADE
Dairy product prices fall at global auction Dairy product prices fell at the Global Dairy Trade auction as whole milk powder slid amid the prospect of increased supply. The GDT price index slipped 0.3 per cent from the previous auction two weeks ago. The average price was $US2885 ($NZ4381) a tonne, compared with $US2901 a tonne two weeks ago. Some 41,945 tonnes of product was sold, easing from 41,981 tonnes two weeks ago. Whole milk powder fell 0.9 per cent to $US2729 a tonne. “Whole milk powder prices had been expected to fall, as last week Fonterra both lifted its milk production forecast for the season and increased the volume of whole milk powder it intends to offer on the GDT platform over the next three months,” AgriHQ dairy analyst Amy Castleton said in a note. “Whole milk powder was a little more resilient than anticipated, however.” Regular grade whole milk powder to ship in December eased 0.7 per cent, which was less than the 0.9 per cent decline the market had anticipated, according to Castleton. Indeed, “the average price for whole milk powder to ship in January actually rose 0.8 per cent, indicating there is some medium
term need for product,” Castleton noted. At the latest GDT auction, cheddar slid 1.8 per cent to $US3404 a tonne, while rennet casein declined 1.7 per cent to $US5426 a tonne. Skim milk powder was steady at $US1977 a tonne. Meanwhile, anhydrous milk fat rose 1 per cent to $US5106 a tonne, lactose gained 1.5 per cent to $US926 a tonne, and butter climbed 2.4 per cent to $US4114 a tonne. “Demand for milk fats has been fairly solid, but the available supply seems have been outweighing demand in recent months,” Castleton said. “The GDT result will spur hopes that a corner has been turned in the milk-fat market – but it is too early to say whether prices will continue to rise.” Butter milk powder and sweet whey powder were not offered at this event. The New Zealand dollar last traded at 65.95 US cents as of 1.09pm yesterday in New York, compared with 65.51 US cents at the previous close in Wellington. There were 137 winning bidders out of 183 participating at the 15-round auction. The number of registered bidders was 511, up from 506 at the previous auction.

Wattie’s confirmed 70 voluntary redundancies at Hastings plant
Heinz Wattie’s confirm job losses Food giant Heinz Wattie’s has confirmed the loss of 70 jobs at its Hastings plants. It’s now looking to fill hundreds of temporary summer positions as part of its annual seasonal recruitment drive, with a new recruitment company that promises to prioritise locals. A spokesman for Heinz Wattie’s said it would need 700 seasonal workers in Hastings over the peak summer processing period, and had contracted company Kelly Services to do the hiring. Heinz Wattie’s is the country’s largest processor of seasonal fruit and vegetables. The Hastings plant processes a wide range of crops including beetroot, tomatoes, peaches, plums, pears and boysenberries. The company announced in March it was looking to reduce staff numbers at the main King St site by 40 people, and another unknown number at its Tomoana Rd site. It said the 70 redundancies that came out of that process were all done on a “completely voluntary basis”, and had no relation to seasonal roles. E tu union manufacturing and food industry co-ordinator Phil Knight said while the union was sad to see any redundancies, in this instance, the company had “made the best of a bad situation”. “The company achieved its desired result, in terms of downsizing the workforce. So those who left did so without being forced out of the workplace.” The union had no concerns for any immediate staff reductions in the future.
“We will be continuing to watch with interest to make sure that seasonal roles and any new roles are filled initially, primarily with locals as opposed to migrant workers or those from out of town.” Kelly Services NZ Hawke’s Bay branch and operations manager Caroline Kermode said she was “extremely excited” to be working with Heinz Wattie’s. It was working through a transition process with Heinz Wattie’s’ current on site workforce, to ensure a smooth continuation of employment, Kermode said. Kelly Services was looking also at how it could improve transport options to get potential workers to work, she said. “We are looking to the local community to fill the available roles and we will be advertising on the radio, in community papers, in supermarkets, contacting work brokers, and Winz etc to ensure the word gets around,” she said. In March, New Zealand’s Commerce Commission granted clearance for Heinz Wattie’s, which is ultimately owned by its Nasdaq-listed parent company Kraft Heinz, to acquire the food and instant coffee business of Cerebos Gregg’s. The Commerce Commission’s decision is subject to a divestment undertaking from Heinz Wattie’s. The divestment will include licences for the Gregg’s brand for the New Zealand supply of red sauce (tomato sauce and ketchup), barbecue sauce and steak sauce, and the F Whitlock & Sons brand for the supply of Worcestershire sauce in New Zealand.

Emerging leader award for local teen Ashburton teen Penny Stilgoe hopes a passion for big machinery will help her see the world. She is determined to pursue a career as an agricultural contractor when she finishes Ashburton College. “I live on a lifestyle block and most people laugh when I tell them my career goals,” said the 15-year-old. “But I love big tractors. Being an agricultural contractor is appealing because every day would be different. Plus, I can’t think of a better way to see a bit of the countryside, travel the world and meet new people,” she said. Penny is a founding member of her school’s active TeenAg club, which is known as Ash Coll Young Farmers. She was 13 years old when she became the club’s second chairwoman. “One of our teachers Hayley Wards – who is a member of Pendarves Young Farmers – got the ball rolling and helped establish the club,” she said. “I have been really fortunate to have been chair for the past two years. It’s given me so many amazing opportunities.” Penny received the Emerging Leader Award at the Aorangi TeenAg Awards. “Winning the award was a huge shock. Our region has so many other talented and hard-working TeenAg members,” she said. Penny takes every chance she can to learn new skills and grow her confidence. She’s one of 170 students from across New Zealand taking part in a leadership course run by NZ Young Farmers. The Leadership Pathway Programme is a collection of five learning modules for TeenAg members. The modules focus on membership, fundraising, sponsorship, events and running a general meeting. The programme is funded by the Red Meat Profit Partnership, funded by industry groups and the government. It’s been developed to identify emerging leaders and ensure they’re entering career pathways in the primary industries.
Left - Penny Stilgoe Below – Penny (second from right) with Te Radar (centre) and other TeenAg members at the Aorangi Regional Final.
“The programme is fantastic. I have picked up so many new skills,” said Penny. “It’s given me ideas on how to grow our club’s membership, organise educational field trips and approach businesses for sponsorship. Those are all really handy skills which I can use in other areas of my life.’’ The leadership programme has been running for a few years, but this is the first year it’s been offered to students online. “Some of the modules require students to write draft letters or plan pretend events such as fundraisers,” NZ Young Farmers spokeswoman Mary Holmes said. “One of the most beneficial things is that students gain leadership skills which they can use outside of their clubs.” Completed modules are marked within a week of being submitted.
If a student passes, they can start the next one. Holmes said students received a leadership badge and a certificate once they had completed the programme and this could go on their CVs. Ash Coll Young Farmers is the smallest TeenAg club in the Aorangi region, but is holding its own. Club members Harriet Stock and Alex Jones competed at the TeenAg grand final in Invercargill in July. Last month, Ash Coll Young Farmers toured the Dunsandel factory of dairy processor Synlait and the club also hosted guest speakers and completed two field trips this year. “Earlier this year we visited the processing facilities of honey producer Midlands Apiaries,” said Penny.
Over the past decade Midlands Apiaries has increased the number of hives it manages from 1200 to 6000. Honey is produced for the domestic and export markets and a strong focus is on the pollination of local crops. Last summer Penny secured
a part-time job on a dairy farm where she got to milk cows and drive tractors. “I helped with several milkings, fencing, spraying and I even did some heavy rolling with a tractor. I plan to get back out there again these summer holidays. I can’t wait.”

www.guardianonline.co.nz Ashburton Combined Friendship Club Mini speaker Bernie Osbourne, from a farm near Gore, left school at 15 to drive a loader in a fertilizer works. Next, he drove a loader for aerial topdressing, then stock trucks between South Otago and Mid Canterbury. Hours were long, and he had a young family, so he accepted an office job at Nightcaps, moving to Heriot when his employer bought the local transport. In the early-80s an Australian company bought many transport companies to build a NZ wide rural transport company. After the corporate’s receivership, Bernie bought the Heriot branch with the bank’s help. After 20 years, he sold up to retire and moved to Hawea, when he was asked to drive tour buses for 3 weeks. 10 years later he was still driving tour buses, doing 17 day tours of the South Island. Linda joined him as the tour guide. They moved to Ashburton two years ago where he still does some tour driving and drives school buses. Main speaker Ashburton Mayor Donna Favel had a lot of dealings with the council when she and her husband were establishing their business and she became interested in council processes. She served two terms before becoming mayor. She is particularly interested in the council being consistent and equitable in its dealings with residents. While councils are traditionally concerned with infra structure such as water supply, sewerage and roading, the present Government is keen on emphasising the “Four Well-beings”; social, economic, cultural and environmental. The council tries to consult widely with the residents and forms are available at the office and on the website. In the future the Government may remove the “Three Waters”; potable, waste and storm from local council control and set up a new entity to manage them.

Ashburton Electronic Organ and Keyboard Club Good rowdy crowd, but we could still hear Bev (French) rattling the song after song on the piano (our trade mark). John opened the evening by acknowledging the passing of Alan Stead (Steadly to us all). We are all going to miss him, I bought one or two winning raffles tickets off him. Our sympathy goes to Rose. After a few notices that John finally got right (John you were an item on your own) he handed over the evenings programme to Lorraine Boud and Margaret Drummond. They managed to get Lanea and Bruce back, but this time as Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, and entertained us as they usually do (always knew that beard would come in handy one day Bruce) Bruce reminded us that the club’s logo, which was hanging there, was designed by his nephew when his nephew was 14 years old. A competition was run at the time and he won it. Lorraine Pluck then gave us some words of wisdom, quips and quotes that always go down well. Geordie and John minus their two musical mates, gave us songs by Geordie with guitar and John on the Tyros. Well done guys, come back again. Then john on his own with a variety of pieces. “Vienna forever” Viennese waltz, and later on, Bev’s (Lister’s piece which turned out to be “Petriona Bavaria” Irene recognised it. John Waugh with his unusual instrument, a whistle, which sounded so like a flute. Lovely. Lorraine B piano, Shirley accordion, and Russell Carter on guitar, rattled out a great mix of favourites, then another newly formed trio, Irene accordion, Robin (Tuanui) accordion, and Karen (Balderstone) showed us how they jelled. St Bernard’s waltz was so nice. It is exciting to see these different groups getting together. It’s what we need, and our new players are going ahead in leaps and bounds. That’s what music does. Ann then played three lovely pieces “Always there’ “Wishing you were here” and “the long goodbye”. Thank you suppers hostess’s and well done Lorraine and Margaret.
Ashburton Golf Club Jamie Stone laid down a good marker in the DCL Cup first round with a superb nett 65 on Saturday, and as I was marking his card I can honestly say it could quite easily have been a nett 60. Jamie has won the DCL before and is desperate to get his name back on it. Other great scores came from George Brown, Braydon Wood, Terry Molloy and Phil Kerr, who lifted himself back to the top of the League ladder, and Jamie’s 12 points took him from nowhere, right into a tie for 30th and into the final series at the moment. With 1 round to go in the RMF qualifying, by my reckoning we have around 50 players fighting it out to get into the top 30. The last round is a week on Saturday, so have a look at the table and work out what you need to do, to get yourself in there. S

Run and Walk Ashburton The snow didn’t stop members making it to the start line for the Greymouth Harriers relay on Saturday October 13. Both runners and walkers had a great day competing in the two and four person relays. The wilderness trail was spectacular and so too the results and afternoon tea! The 24km relay started in Kumara and finished at the Grey River in Blaketown. In the runners, Toresa Hooper and Tam Grant placed 2nd in the open women, while Ashley Whitehead and Eamon Hooper 5th in the O40 mixed. There were a total of four walking teams. Lori Rusbatch and Jan Wilson were 1st in the women with Chrissie Stratford and Cath Gill just behind in 2nd place. Lynda Bayne, David Bayne and Karen Hodgson picked up 1st in the mixed four person relay. taying with the RMF Cup, the final series is on November 3, 10 and 24, if you are unavailable for these games please let myself of Bruce know so someone else can be given a chance. If you finish high up in the standings you could miss the first week and still have enough points to carry you through, but it would be unlikely that you could miss 2, and you definitely need to be available for an afternoon tee off on the 24th to win the final. Please have a look at the dates and let us know by next Saturday. This weekend we have 2 mixed games for the Labour Day long weekend. On Saturday we have a mixed teams Stableford and on Monday an individual Stableford for the Centennial Shield, and then don’t forget next Thursday for the Lions Charity Day. Noteworthy news, is that 12 Ashburton “Jolly Boys” attacked the Templeton golf course last Sunday for the Flying Dutchmans half century. A great day was had by all, topped off with a whiskey and beautiful ham sandwiches, courtesy of the lovely Debbie Macdonald. I believe the great name of Ashburton Golf Club is still fully intact in Christchurch, well when the Templeton Pro asked me “where the hell did you learn to play golf like that?” I told him I was from Mayfield, so no harm done. Good golfing.
Ashburton Toastmasters Our club met on 10/10, but this time for a contest instead of a regular meeting. Club member competed on two categories: Humorous speech and Table topics. Jo was contest chair and presided over the evening, and we had three guest judges: Pat, Rebecca and Basil. After briefings for the judges and contestants, and setting the order of contestants on both contests randomly, Pat gave a warm up speech titles “Throw of the dice” about the difficulties a lottery winner faces (it turned out to be just a dream. Or a nightmare?). Matt opened the humorous speech contest with “The most important meal of the day”, comparing dating life to the selection of the right brand of cereal for you. He was followed by Jeff ’s “Soap on a rope” about the dangers of communal showers, and finally Phil’s “Worst holiday of my life” about his trouble during a family vacation. After the break we went to the Table topics contest. Each participant was asked, in her or his turn, the question “Would rather do less work, or do more work you enjoy doing?”. Each contestant had to come up, on the spot, with a short (1-2 minutes long) speech as an answer. Contestants were Andy, Jeff, Rene, Adi and Allanah. Congratulations to Matt and Rene, our two winners, who will continue on to the district contest. See you on October 24.
Cavendish Club The Cavendish Club recently held a very successful and interesting Fashion Parade, when Christine from Todds and Sophie from Preen combined to show us their latest fashions and colours for the
Husband and wife team, Bill and Janet Hood were 1st in the mixed two person relay O60, and third in the two person relay and, fourth best time overall, a very inspirational couple. The SI Masters took place in Timaru over the past two weekends, and members were flying the flag strongly for Ashburton. The 5km cross country, 5km, 10km and 21km coastal challenge had both runners and walkers competing with every single member bringing home a medal. Nicole Jackson set off early on Sunday October 14 from Diamond Harbour running the Crater Rim 50km Ultra. She was rewarded for all her hard work with an impressive time of 6hrs 35mins 7 seconds placing her first in her age group 35-44 years and fourth female overall. Congratulations to everyone who competed. summer. We had six models and three dressers, all new members who have recently joined our club. The fashions they showed were lovely - mustard being one of the favourite colours for the season. Culottes are back in fashion and looked really smart on several of our models. President Yvonne thanked all who had taken part in the success of the afternoon and a special afternoon tea was served after the parade to members and their friends who had attended. Cavendish Club Spring Flower Show Cavendish Club Spring Flower Show was held recently. In spite of the strange season we had a very full showing of flowers and the results were as follows: Grigg Cup for Daffodils: 1st Fay Wilson, 2nd Mavis Trott, 3rd Sandra Grant Murdoch Trophy for Cut Flowers: 1st Fay Wilson, 2nd Sandra Grant, 3rd Yvonne Matthews Rountree Tray for best Camellia: Yvonne Matthews Pauline Cornwall Jug for Champion Daffodil: Sandra Grant Garden Circle Tray for Premier Bloom in Show: Sandra Grant - A Daffodil The judges were Graham Gunn for the daffodil section and Pat Tarbotton for the cut flowers. Both judges praised our members for the quality of all the flowers considering the unusual season. Our speaker was April Breading. She presented to us a great variety of organising garden pot and just how versatile the planting of them can be. Many questions were asked bringing a very enjoyable day to a close. Library Circle - Library Convenor Jennifer led us in a ‘getting to know you better’ exercise during September. As Cavendish Club has a number of new members she hoped that this would be interesting and helpful as we welcome new members – and it was. Thank you Jennifer.
Creative Fibre Ashburton Following the monthly meeting we had the AGM where all officers were returned with no changes.

noon, James Lamb ADC Emergency Manager. James explained how Civil Defence operates, impressing that it is generally a community effort to recover from a disaster. The main types of disaster that could possibly affect the district are earthquake; snow storm; wind storm; fire and flood. James gave many useful tips on recovery from disaster and distributed a booklet that has heaps of detailed information on how to cope in an emergency. (There are some copies available for members not at the meeting, just ask a committee member). The importance of maintaining communication by radio (battery powered) was stressed. Rechargeable batteries are available. Having a “Grab Bag” with documents, essential medication, toiletries, a change of warm clothes and a pair of strong shoes was also important. There were several interesting questions on the following topics, generators, emergency toilets, tsunami risk locally; sector post signs around Ashburton are out of date. James outlined his history; he was born in Southland, spent some time in the Air Force, and prior to coming to Ashburton was employed at Maritime Communications in Wellington. Trevor passed a vote of thanks and presented James with a fruit tray. The raffle was drawn and prizes distributed. The meeting closed at 3.00pm and afternoon tea was served. Next meeting November 19; Christmas meeting with entertainment, lots of raffles and door prizes. Please bring a donation of non-perishable goods for local food banks.
Mid Canterbury Central Friendship Club An excellent turnout of 75 members and one visitor (Clarrie Brake) were welcomed to our October meeting by Vice President Russell Small. Clarrie was also congratulated on recently celebrating his 90th birthday. After inducting new member Donald Ross and welcoming returning member Owen Everest, the meeting listened to mini speaker Moyra Whiting describe her early life in the UK. After spending an early childhood on a farm in postwar Essex, the family immigrated to New Zealand in 1953. Her father initially worked at Happy Valley breaking in bush land for farming. After several moves the family eventually settled in Ashburton where her father worked on Jack Brands farm on Beach Road. Moyra attended Hampstead School and Ashburton High School and during this time gained a diploma in pianoforte. In 1968 she studied at Teachers College where she met and later married Rex Whiting. Following morning tea our main speaker, Michael Read, was introduced by Roger Lake. Michael is a young farmer from Hinds who gave us an illustrated talk on his recent ascent of Mt Everest. This climb was the fulfilment of his childhood dream and is the 5th target reached in his ongoing ambition to climb the “Seven Mountains” or highest peaks in each continent. Michael gave us a gripping account of the trials of climbing at the high altitudes on Mt Everest and the physical toll it took on his body. Once in ‘the death zone’ above Camp 4 at 8000 metres his brain functions started to become scrambled as his body slowly began shutting down. The final climb to the summit in darkness and sub-zero temperatures was reached in 7 hours, in time to watch the sun rise and reveal the Indian continent below. By this time his eyesight was dangerously impaired due to his eyeballs freezing, but he and his Australian climbing companion managed the risky descent back to Camp 4. After 2 days recovering at Base Camp with Sherpas’, he walked the 80kms back to the remote Lucra airfield. Ken Borland thanked our speaker and the meeting closed with the National Anthem.

In brief
■ CROQUET
Waireka youth in NZ squad When Croquet New Zealand announced its under-21, youth and junior squads recently, Mid Canterbury featured prominently. Eight young Mid Canterbury players were named in the squads, with five of those – Edmund Fordyce, Chris Spittal, Kaleb Small, Jacob Smith and Logan McCorkindale – being named in the national under-21 squad. Waireka Croquet Club publicity officer Audrey Leath said there were 15 players selected into the under-21 national squad, and the club was over the moon that five of those came from Waireka. Caitlin Smith was also selected for the national youth squad, although she was unavailable due to other commitments, while Josie Tallents and Connor Hall made the junior youth squad. Those in the under-21 squad would now be working towards selection for the under-21 world championships which are being held in England in July next year. The national under-21 golf croquet championships were being held in Matamata this weekend, and the young Mid Canterbury players have also been invited to play in that. If they could pick up titles there, it would add to what had already been a stellar season. At the New Zealand Secondary Schools championships, McCorkindale and Tallents (Ashburton College) and Chris Spittal and Kaleb Small (Mount Hutt College) made the final, with the Ashburton College duo taking the title out 7-5.
League test sell-out The first ever test match between the Kangaroos and Mate Ma’a Tonga will be played in a soldout Mt Smart Stadium. The NRL has announced that following a final release of tickets this week, Saturday’s test match has sold out. The capacity for Mt Smart Stadium is around 25,600. “The level of interest in this game has been staggering so it will be great to see the house full sign up outside Mt Smart Stadium this Saturday,” NRL CEO Todd Greenberg said. - NZME
Ferns prioritise win New Zealand are toning back talk of lifting the Constellation Cup via a gaint win, believing a stung Australia will coming out fighting in the decider. The Silver Ferns’ shock 55-44 triumph in the third Test in Hamilton leaves them trailing 2-1 and with a chance of claiming the silverware for the first time in six years. They must win by 14 goals in Wellington tonight, a prospect which would have been unthinkable given their form of 2018. - AAP

Wallabies playmaker Bernard Foley has signed a new contract but only to the end of next year’s Rugby World Cup. A veteran of 64 Tests, 29-year-old Foley has kept his options open beyond that. While Wallabies coach Michael Cheika expressed confidence that Foley won’t be lost to a rich overseas club contract, he also talked about him leaving a legacy. “I’m very happy that Bernard has signed on but I don’t believe this will be his final year in Australian rugby,” Cheika said. “He has set himself a big challenge by going from yearto-year and I’m sure he’ll meet it.” - AAP
CLUB NEWS Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club President Val Johnson welcomed members and a visitor to the October meeting of the Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club. The National Anthem was sung, and birthdays and anniversaries celebrated. Trips Convenor Avis Kingsland told of a bus trip to Oamaru via Waimate, the party for the over 90’s and Christmas Luncheon on 12 December. The mini speaker was Judy Swaney who spoke of her role at the Park Street Day Care Centre. This is funded by the District Health Board, there are five diversional therapists and also some volunteers. In the near future they are moving to rooms at the Hospital, there will be more space with an outdoor area. They keep in touch with the community and have a large waiting list. There are lots of amusing incidents. Sometimes they visit resthomes. The oldest person they have is 100 years of age. After morning tea Senior Sergeant Phil Dean addressed the members. It was a wonderful start to his address as he said what a great place Ashburton is. He has been in the Police Force for 25 years, working in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and now Ashburton. He is passionate about road safety. Cars are much safer now than they were 50 years ago. There were no seat belts then, or air bags, and the roads have improved. Getting a drivers licence now takes two years. Crashes are caused by 2% of boy racers, and 6% by tourists, 94% by Kiwis. He advised of four ways to avoid a ticket: Wear restraints Don’t do Drugs or Drinks when driving
Don’t be distracted Do not drive over the speed limit He left a survey on safety in the home. The meeting concluded with the thought for the month – The only way to have a friend is to be one, by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

MSA Golf Section The MSA Golf Section had a social game at Waimakariri Golf Course and were joined by the Ashburton RSA. The trip was marred by Richard Thompson’s car being rear ended on the way there, but luckily no one was injured. All golfers enjoyed the day and the winners on the day were, Paul Greer 42 points, Darren Peace 38, Brent Smith 37 and Wayne Smith on 36. Marilyn Bennett won the ladies section on 35 points by lot from Joan on 35. The twos prize pool was split between Paul Hefford and Darren Peace. Nearest to the pin prizes were picked up by Maxine Carter and Bruce Collins. The biggest cheer of the day went to Gary Stratford who scored his first ever two which earned him a nice bottle of wine. We welcome both Darren Peace and Tony Andrew into our golf section. Prize giving was held at the Colgate Tavern with drinks and a few hard luck stories. It was good to see Allan Moore driving the golf cart for his wife Maree, good job Allan
Tinwald Garden Club President Pam Tait presided over an excellent attendance of members, with a great line-up of spring flowers for this month’s competitions. Members were informed about the mystery bus trip next month, October 25, leaving Hotel Ashburton at 8.45 and Tinwald Hall at
9 am. Member Alison Scammell with the assistance of her husband Roger with the projector told us about their recent visit to the Butchart Gardens on Vancouver Island. A most beautiful garden of fifty five acres developed over many years in a disused quarry. It is open to the public every day of the year and over the twelve days of Christmas is apparently amazing, complete with an ice-skating rink for public use. They arrived at 2 pm and did not leave until 10 pm, having commenced their visit with a beautiful formal “high tea” served to them. The gardens are absolutely immaculate, the grass walkways being marked with ropes to prevent visitors straying into the beds. Two hundred gardeners are employed but at no stage was anyone visible working there, Alison was told that the gardeners wander round in ordinary casual clothes, picking up any rubbish or weeds they see, amazing. Competitions Cut Flowers – 1 cup daffodil: J. Cuthbertson, V. Johnson, H. Mitchell. 1 split corona daffodil: A. Royds. 1 multi headed daffodil: J. Cuthbertson, H. Mitchell, V.

Wakanui WI The September meeting of the Wakanui WI was held in the Sinclair Centre. Motto for the day was – “Don’t dodge difficulties – meet them head on” The Roll Call of a public transport experience proved quite hilarious with several members having quite scary moments! Reports were given on the successful Suffrage Memorial Walk and tree planting which a good number of Wakanui members had attended, many wearing period costume. Ann Copland was thanked for supplying flowers for Ward 6 at Ashburton Hospital. Three members had represented Wakanui WI at the Federation Indoor Bowls Tournament and finished a creditable third placing. Final arrangements were made for supplying lunch at the ½ Yearly Federation meeting. It will be great to again see a large gathering of women in the Wakanui Hall and competition tables of flowers, cooking, handwork and photography. Speakers for the day were from the Ashburton St. John Health Shuttle service. This service is run by volunteers and is used by up to 1900 clients a year. A marvellous service! Next meeting October 24 at the Sinclair Centre.

■ PETANQUE
Browne eyes national singles title By Erin TaskEr
Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz
Ashburton’s Richard Browne is looking to follow up his first South Island petanque singles title with a national one when he heads to Auckland this weekend. Browne was one of the members of the Ashburton MSA Petanque Club who headed to the South Island championships in Dunedin earlier this month and came home with two firsts to his name, taking out the singles and the doubles, with Christchurch partner Brian Westerbeek. Browne said after coming runnerup twice, it was great to finally claim the singles championship. Last year he made the grand final but lost and this year he turned the tables on last year’s winner when he beat him convincingly 13-3 in pool play before going on to beat an up-and-coming 14-year-old in the final. He then teamed up with Westerbeek to form a formidable duo in the doubles, going through unbeaten and claiming the title. Neville and Karen Bensdorp were also in action at the championships, with Neville third equal in the singles championship and Karen third equal in the plate. The Bensdorps
then combined to win the plate in the doubles, too, making it a successful tournament for the Ashburton club. The trio were now turning their attention to the nationals in Auckland, where Browne in particular was eyeing up top eight finishes at least. Browne said he’d had a couple of third placings at nationals before, in the doubles and triples, but he was yet to win a national title. He had been consistently in the top 16 in recent years though. Browne was also back in the New Zealand squad – the Boule Blacks – after missing out last year and was hoping to wear the Silver Fern in some international matches next year, including the Pan Pacific Games. “But the ultimate goal is 2024 – the Olympics. I’ve got a lot of work to do to get to that level, but that would be the ultimate,” Browne said. The Ashburton MSA Petanque Club was also gearing up for an open day, which would be held on October 28 at the club’s grounds at 115 Racecourse Road. Anyone keen to give the sport a go was welcome to head along and check it out between 10am and 3pm.

■ ASHBURTON
Final hit-out for Xpression Group Two-winning filly Xpression will have one final hit-out at Ashburton on Saturday before she contests her main target of the spring, next month’s Gr.1 Gavelhouse.com New Zealand 1000 Guineas (1600m). The Guy Lowry and Grant Cullen-trained three-year-old will line-up in the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) after going down by the barest of margins to Avantage in the Gr.3 Hawke’s Bay Gold Trail Stakes (1200m) at Hastings in her last start. “She left here yesterday, so she won’t be far off from getting to where she needs to be,” Lowry said. “We were really happy with the way she left. “She has come through her last start well and we are just hoping for a bit of luck. “I thought it (run) was okay and her sectionals suggested her run was okay. She has got a good turn of foot which probably gets her out of a bit of trouble.” The daughter of Showcasing will step up to 1400m for the first time on Saturday and that holds the only concern for Lowry heading into the race. “You always like to hope they will get over a bit of a trip, but she might not, who knows,” Lowry said. “She’s going the right way at the moment and we’re looking forward to having her run on Saturday.” Xpression has been joined on her trip south by fellow 1000 Guineas aspirant Mohaka.

Guineas path not set Unbeaten three-year-old Dawn Patrol pleased trainer Frank Ritchie with his last-start victory over 1400m at Matamata on Saturday but his path towards the Gr.1 Al Basti Equiworld New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) is currently undecided. The Dawn Approach gelding will bypass Monday’s Gr.2 James and Annie Sarten Memorial Stakes (1400m) at Te Rapa and could head towards the trials in the lead-up to next month’s Riccarton feature. “We’re still mulling over Christchurch, he’s pulled up tremendously well (since his laststart),” Ritchie said.
Bocce ready for return
Xpression (outside) will contest the Gr.3 Barneswood Farm Stakes (1400m) at Ashburton on Saturday. PHOTO PETER RUBERY all three of her career starts-to-date, including the Listed HS Dyke Wanganui Guineas (1340m). She will target the Listed Zacinto Stakes (1600m) at Riccarton next week, which Lowry said would act as an indicator as to whether she can handle the step-up to the 1000 Guineas.
“She was placed in the Wanganui Guineas early and has had three quite hard runs, but I think the trip down south will do her the world of good anyway. “She is still on a 1000 Guineas path, but I very much doubt she will get that far, but she will run in the Zacinto Stakes (next week).” - NZ Racing Desk
Stakes-placed galloper Bocce is set to resume on Saturday in the Faulkner Drainage 3YO (1215m) at Rotorua and has won a trial to fit him for his return to racing. Trained by Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard, Bocce was a debut winner before finishing third to Champion TwoYear-Old Avantage in the Listed Karaka Million (1200m) and fourth in the Gr.1 Sistema Stakes (1200m). “He won his trial well recently at Cambridge and came on for it,” Gerard said. “He’s coming back from a pretty hard two-year-old season, but we’re happy with him and he’s still got plenty of improvement in him.”

TODAY’S GOALS: Good - 10 Excellent - 15
Previous solution: VILLAINS
9 10
ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’ll be happiest while in the process of learning something new. Embark on an educational venture to spark your creativity and reignite your sense of wonder. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Being grateful is not just something you do; it’s something you are. No matter what you take on, you’re coming from a place of appreciation and that’s what makes this day great. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Are your actions working toward the goal you have in mind? You’ll want to know how you’re doing. There’s nothing wrong with just asking. The question might actually be charming and disarming. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Extra energy and vitality is yours to play with. It’s as though you’ve tapped into an energy field and are being compelled by the very force that fuels the spinning of the planets. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Others may do things in a way that clearly works great. Still, never discount what you know or reject your own roots. To accept and love where you came from is essential to feeling comfortable in the world. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Write it down. Set a timer so you won’t procrastinate. Lock the door and turn off the Wi-Fi so you won’t get interrupted or distracted. The best solutions are simple and obvious. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind. Now they believe the answers are trending on Twitter or Reddit. Just to be safe, check everywhere. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): In the name of getting things done, you might have to limit your mental scope. There will be enough to do with what’s actually happening without also worrying about what might happen or what could happen. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your heart may cherish your friends, but it’s the rest of you that really lets them know. Your deeds speak volumes. They’ll be warmed by your actions. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): By simply sharing your honest appraisal of a situation you’ll do more good than you could possibly know. If this sort of thing also happens to be your job, the result will make you money today. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Not everyone wants to be famous, and you’ll be living proof of this today as you choose to do your thing without taking a picture or otherwise submitting some representation of it to the eyes of the world. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll do a thing and then cross it off your list. But don’t let that be the only reason to cross things off. If you know you’ll never do it, that’s as fine a reason as any to put a pen slash through it.

Local ballers seek NZ spots Two of Basketball Mid Canterbury’s rising stars are off to Auckland this weekend to vie for selection into national teams. New Zealand’s top young basketball talent will assemble at Auckland’s Pulman Arena for the Basketball New Zealand under-15 and under-17 national team selection camps and among them would be Ashburton’s Riley Sa and Sophie Adams. Sa and Adams are both Ashburton College students, while Ashlee Strawbridge and Samantha Arnold – two Ashburton girls now attending school in Christchurch – are also taking part in the camp. Sa is one of 26 under-15 boys selected, while Adams, Arnold and Strawbridge are among 24 un-
der-17 girls selected. For the under-15 squad members the camp is the final selection camp for the team that will travel to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea to compete in the FIBA Oceania Championships in December. A team of 12 boys and 12 girls will be selected for the Kiwi teams, and the top two teams at the tournament will qualify for next year’s Under-16 Asian Championships. For those selected for the under-17 squad this year, the camps are the start of the preparation for next year’s FIBA Oceania Championships which will be held in Noumea, New Caledonia, in August. The national structured camps
focus on player monitoring, support and reporting to help monitor athletes, and to develop the new Basketball New Zealand national style of play. The new development system consisted of three major annual camps: early February, April school holidays and in October over Labour weekend. High performance director Leonard King said the camps had a more targeted approach, providing athletes with a competitive and challenging environment that allowed development at the highest level possible. “In years gone by we had some very good people working with the teams, but collectively it was in an unco-ordinated fashion,”
King said. King said the way the camps were managed now allowed progressive teaching layers from under-13 right through to under-19. It wasn’t only New Zealand coaches that were keeping an eye on the national junior teams, either. Globally, the New Zealand agegroup teams were getting more global exposure than ever before with New Zealand’s inclusion in the FIBA Asia Zone. Recently a number of scouts who attended the Schick Championships in Palmerston North stated that the FIBA Oceania Championships, Asia Championships and World Championships were wellfollowed by US colleges. Coach Aaron Fearne, who was
Ashburton hit-out for Xpression before Guineas
now with University of North Carolina Charlotte, was one of those coaches. “We watch tournaments like the FIBA Under 17 Worlds, the Under 19 Worlds, the Asia Qualifying games for the age-groups, and you get to see [players compete] against the Australian kids. A few of those kids on that team are playing some pretty high-level division one programmes, so you get a bit of a comparison there and see how they go against that type of talent,” Ferne said. Basketball New Zealand would also be hosting Custom College Recruiting for one of the sessions this weekend, to help explain the US college pathway, should players be interested.
