■ NEW AMBO FOR ASHBURTON

New twist in Mona Blades cold case follows doco

St John boosts resources By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

A significant investment in Ashburton’s St John will add a new ambulance to its fleet and several extra personnel to its ranks. From October 1, Ashburton will have an additional four ambulance officers and those appointments will see the end of single crew ambulances. Having additional staff would ensure patients received the best available care and would enhance the safety and wellbeing of dedicated ambulance staff, said St John territory manager Ian Rex. Over the past financial year there had been an increase of about 1600 emergency callouts in Ashburton, he said. “We can better support this increase by recruiting more staff. Ashburton will recruit additional fulltime staff and have extra capacity to respond with an extra ambulance. This will ensure patients throughout Mid Canterbury get the best available care when they need it and it will also make the job safer for ambulance officers and help reduce fatigue, injuries and stresses associated with this emergency work,” Rex said. In May 2017, the Government announced increased funding to gradually end the single crewing of emergency ambulances in New Zealand over a four-year period. New Zealand was the only first world ambulance service with single crewed ambulance responses and this was occurring 100 times a day across the country. Since the announcement, St John has been working with local communities to find the best approach in each area. Ashburton was identified as a priority site due to the current high number of single-crewed responses. The expanded service, however, will put pressure on the Tancred Street base in terms of both space and vehicle access. The service’s headquarters backs on to an empty section

owned by the Ashburton District Council and St John currently uses this as access for returning vehicles. On Thursday a St John delegation spoke at an Ashburton District Council service delivery meeting, requesting a formal right of way over the land to protect access. Kent France, acting general manager South Island region, said that ambulances exited the station via Tancred Street and returned via the council’s parking area. “Now we’ll need to fit more people and more ambulances into the Ashburton station so we need to look at reconfiguring it. This means it’s extra important that we know if we can continue to access the rear of the building through your car park,” he said. The service needed a clear flow for “clean and dirty” ambulances so it needed two direction traffic to create a separation. Vehi-

cle movements could rise to 30 a day when the extra ambulance is added to the fleet. If the Ashburton base was extended in the future St John needed to be sure it could access this, France said. Councillors were not inclined to formalise a right of way through the section because that could compromise future development plans. “One day that may be a parking building,” councillor Neil Brown said “We have to ask, will this compromise our ability to use this site in the future.” With a right of way unlikely to be approved, France suggested St John could look at buying the section, thereby future proofing its building. “It would be 10 years at least before we looked at a parking building. If you purchase this we would need to find another site for the future,” Brown said.

Councillors needed to understand why the section was bought in the first place, what it’s strategic use could be and if it was sold could it get the same strategic outcome elsewhere, he said. The council should do whatever it could to make a deal work, Russell Ellis said. “It’s in the best interests of everyone to future proof this site. We should get a report on the value of the section and then enter into discussions with St John to see if they are interested in this option,” he said. The issue was a social one, Selwyn Price said and the council should negotiate a deal that was very generous. “Wet should do this because of the service they’re giving to the community. I’d do whatever it takes to achieve this.” Until a decision is made on a land sale, St John will continue to access its base from the carpark.

A fresh look into the police investigation of the Mona Blades case has turned the case on its head and suggested crucial evidence could have been overlooked. The new investigation forms part of a television documentary series called Cold Case, with the first episode on Mona Blades screening tomorrow night. The Mona Blades case is one of New Zealand’s highest profile cold cases. The 18-year-old vanished while hitch-hiking from Hamilton to Hastings for her nephew’s birthday in 1975. There was a sighting by a truck driver of woman fitting her description getting into an orange Datsun in Taupo and then travelling on the Napier-Taupo Road. Her disappearance sparked one of the country’s largest manhunts with more than 500 suspects who either owned or had driven orange Datsuns investigated. However, not one piece of evidence or her body was ever found. Series producer Carolyn Harper, from Screentime NZ, said Rotorua-based Detective Inspector Mark Loper had led a team taking a new look at the investigation. “We go through the file and find sightings that were previously ignored or not given too much weight as well as statements of evidence that were perhaps overlooked or not given the weight they deserved. The results produce a completely different scenario.” Although she couldn’t reveal too much of what the programme concluded, she said one of the aspects they looked at was the photo of Blades that was widely circulated at the time and used to help find her. The show will screen on TV 1 at 7.30pm. The other three cases to come in the Cold Case television series include Do Trieu from 2008, Kayo Matsuzawa from 1998 and Tuitania Barclay from 2002. - NZME

■ ROSS BUTTERICK

Time’s up for car parts king By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Where other people see cars, Ross Butterick sees car parts – millions of them – all neatly labelled, catalogued and stored on shelves. And after 35 years as the Ashburton District’s go-to man for anything from a car seat to an engine, Ross is calling time on his auto dismantler and auto parts business, Roscoe’s. There are too many lakes to fish to wait around until a wheelchair beckons, he said. Ross is a mechanic by trade, but after a few years fixing other people’s cars, he decided there was money to be made in cars that couldn’t be fixed. His future lay in wrecking cars that had no future on the road. And 35 years down the track, he says he loves that business as much as he did on day one. But come Monday, Ross will no longer be the boss. Ben Fahey, Andrew Hunt and David Hunt have bought the business and he’ll be the part-time boy. Looking across his warehouse and yard, Ross said the car body tally tops 800 and the warehouse shelves carry millions of parts. And he reckons between himself and his computer he can put his hand on just about anything anyone asks for. Over those 35 years, the auto parts business has changed significantly from its start in a small workshop on John Street. “When I started out I had just one employee, now I’ve got 11. And back then there were only five or six models of cars but now there are hundreds.” What’s also changed is the age of vehicles coming into the yard; Old bangers that have had their day are no longer the heart of the business; vehicles bought from insurance companies are. Parts are also imported from Japan. Old vehicles are still bought but nine times out of 10 they’re destined for scrap. Often that means it costs Ross to take them on, but he does so because he’s committed to keeping cars out of river beds.

Ross Butterick is leaving his auto dismantler and parts business to spend more time fishing. “I feel it’s our duty to try to get rid of those cars properly. Often there’s nothing in it for us but it’s about having a sense of community. We’ve had five really bad years with scrap prices, but it’s come right a bit now,” he said. His market is wide, around New Zealand, Australia and Rarotonga. And while there’s money to be made in many of the parts he sells, Ross has been as committed to the small deals as he has to the big dollar ones. “Every part is important to the person buying it, even if it’s only worth a dollar.”

The local motor traders market has been a loyal supporter over the years, Ross said. He’s also been involved in a number of his industry’s national organisations and, close to home, he’s been a loyal supporter of Wheels Week. “I’ve been a sponsor for 28 years but it’s the speedway side of it that is my passion.” He no longer races, but he’s a keen follower of his son on the track. Yesterday might have been his last day at work, but he was still doing deals.

The phone rang, Ross answered. “Yes we’re interested, yes it’s worth something … yes we can pick it up.” Most days staff pick up at least five cars – with luck they move that same number out, usually as scrap. His was the second business in the Riverside Industrial estate, today it’s virtually full. It’s a real asset to Ashburton, he said, and has become pretty self sufficient, employing its own security team. Deciding to sell wasn’t easy, he said.

“It’s time for new heads, new ideas.” He’ll be there if needed but said his staff, most of whom have been part of the company for more than 15 years, have a huge store of knowledge about the business. They’ll be the best asset any new owner could have, he said. With more spare time, Ross plans to up the days he spends fishing. Last season he caught and released 100 trout; this year he hopes to up that tally. “It’s my passion. I just love it.”

■ DRY JULY

Ben’s booze-free mission Ben Williams enjoys a beer or two, but is off the alcohol this month as he participates in Dry July and raises money for improving the wellbeing of those affected by cancer. Susan Sandys reports.

ayfield shepherd Ben Williams is like many a Kiwi lad in that he enjoys a beer after rugby and work, and while out on the town with his mates. But the 23-year-old is also like many a Kiwi lad in that he knows a good cause when he sees one and that cause is Dry July. “It all started when my dad got diagnosed with bowel cancer about four months ago,” he said. Robin Williams is now doing well as he undergoes treatment and proud of his son joining up with the initiative. Dry July is a nationwide fundraiser which challenges participants to go alcohol-free for the month. This year funds raised are benefiting Look Good Feel Better, a charity that provides free, community-based programmes for cancer sufferers impacted by the visible and emotional effects of their illness and its treatment. Williams was brought up in Mayfield and today lives at Lawrence in Otago where he is a member of the Lawrence Premier Rugby Team and a casual shepherd based at Waipori Station. He has developed a survival strategy for those high-temptation moments, such as the rugby club after training on Tuesdays and Thursdays and games on Saturdays. “I always walk in with a can of Fanta, or water,” Williams said. “Every night there’s always a stubby there after training and after the game there’s always a stubby there. So it’s always hard being able to walk past that and not take it.” In the busy time of shepherding season, a debrief on Friday nights involves a beer as

well. “It’s more those little things that you miss more than the big nights out,” he said. But as Williams has got further into the month, it has become easier, and he thinks it will not be so difficult if he wants to cut down on alcohol once July is over. And cutting down might not be such a bad thing, with Williams admitting that on those Saturday nights after rugby, one beer can easily turn into 10 once he and his friends hit the local pubs. He said he was now enjoying socialising just as much, albeit with a soft drink in his hand instead. “What I have shown is you can have a good night without having to have a beer, you don’t have to go home just because you are not going to have a beer,” Williams said. “And the best thing is you get free raspberry and Coke because you are the sober driver.” He had saved money throughout the month and also felt better, particularly on Sundays. “It’s the best I have ever felt on a Sunday morning I reckon, I’m up earlier and am more productive in the weekends.” Williams wants to raise $500 and is grateful for his friends and supporters so far contributing $150. Anyone wanting to support him can go to https://www.dryjuly.co.nz/users/benwilliams There are about 15 people undertaking the challenge in Mid Canterbury and they have raised about $2000. Altogether nationwide there are 6100 people going dry and they had raised a massive $467,096 as of Tuesday this week.

Ben Williams is enjoying raising funds and feeling healthier as he participates in Dry July. PHOTOS SUPPLIED

Trees count at Mayfield School By Katie todd

Katie.t@theguardian.co.nz

Mayfield School was a hive of activity yesterday, as greenfingered students and community members put the final touches of their unique new learning space. A “tree-mendous outdoor classroom” was dreamt up by students at the start of the year for entry into a competition run by conservation organisation Trees That Count. The plans impressed judges and Mayfield School was named the competition’s winner, receiving more than 200 native trees as their prize. Yesterday, throngs of volunteers from the school community and the Westfield Agriculture Team pulled on their Redbands and got to work planting. It followed a day of laying irrigation, wood chips and rocks before the holidays. Room 4 teacher Anna Veaux, who organised the entry to the competition, said she was really pleased with how the area had turned out and she could only image how good it would look in a years’ time when the native trees grew. In the future they the school were hoping to build huts in the area as well. Dave Whillans, Westpac Agribusiness Manager for NorthMid Canterbury was among those to bring a team along. Each year they strive to spend a day volunteering and Mayfield’s new native area stood out as a “good community cause,” he said.

Mayfield School students Ella McDowell, Naomi Dalangin, Kat King, Phoebe Hunt and Harriet Phillips were among those swapping pen and paper for the garden tools yesterday. PHOTO KATIE TODD 270718-KT-0173

Doggy haven on target for Methven By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Methven’s dogs could be in for a treat, if a proposed exercise park is ticked off by the Ashburton District Council. The park, however, has been a long time in the making, with a request first made in 2009. The area sought for the park is a former septic tank site between Dolma Street and Line Road. Consent to establish the park was granted in 2010 but that consent came with some tough conditions and the project did not get off the ground. The consent might have lapsed, but at Thursday’s council environmental services committee meeting council staff said there was still demand for a dog park in Methven. The unused, council-owned site’s

time might have come, they said. Changes in land zoning meant a resource consent was no longer needed for the council-owned site if it was designated a dog exercise area, said acting chief executive Jane Donaldson. That didn’t mean it could be used immediately, because a statutory application was needed and consultation would be required. If the land became a dog park, that designation could be removed in the future if the council found another use for the land, Donaldson said. Its earlier use as a septic tank site, however, would mean considerable remediation would be needed if it were to be used for housing. The land is deer fenced and is currently used for stock grazing.

Lotto winner strikes three times A $1 million Lotto winner won not once but three times in the same week. The Invercargill man, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a regular Lotto player who picks up his tickets during his weekly grocery shop. “I always check my tickets and buy ones for the next week after I’ve picked up my groceries for the week,” said the winner. “I had three tickets to check this week, so handed them to the lady at the Lotto counter to put through the terminal for me. I won a small prize with the first ticket, and the second ticket won me another small prize plus some free tickets – and then

came the third ticket. “I was already feeling pretty lucky at this point, but then the lady at the counter scanned the third ticket. The machine played a little tune then she looked at me and said ‘you’re a very lucky person – you’ve just won $1 million! I thought she was joking, I couldn’t believe it.” As for his good luck, the man said it could be all thanks to his new pet - a black cat. “I had something to eat, then my new pet – a black cat – strolled over for a pat. I’ve just recently adopted him and it struck me just how much good luck I’ve had since then.” - NZME

All-star line-up to put on a celestial show BY JAMIE MORTON The heavens are treating stargazers to one stunner of a variety show. This co-incidental celestial festival boasts an eclipsed “blood moon” sharing a sky with the Sun today; Mars coming at its closest point for the next 17 years; and several other planets showing up more brightly overhead. Mars marvel Yesterday marked what astronomers refer to as the “opposition” of Mars – something that took place around every two years, when Earth lined up directly between Mars and the Sun. This phenomenon could be explained by the elliptical or ovalshaped orbits that Earth and Mars followed around the Sun. The fact our planet was closer than Mars, meant Earth sped along its orbit faster, taking two trips around the Sun in the same time it took for Mars to make just a single circuit. Eventually, the two planets aligned – but sometimes the match-up proved much more special. When Mars happened to be closest to the Sun in its orbit, which occurred within a few weeks of opposition, a “perihelic opposition” resulted and Mars appeared even bigger and brighter. Such events only happened around every 17 years – and some brought us closer than others. The 2003 opposition was especially significant, being the closest opposition in the past 60,000 years. This year’s conditions weren’t quite as extraordinary, but Mars would still only appear 4 per cent smaller than that spectacle. It was likely the next time the two planets would be at a perihelic opposition, in 2035, humans would have walked upon the surface of Mars. Mars wouldn’t be at its closest

to Earth until about 3.50pm on Tuesday. At that point, we’d be an estimated 57.6 million kilometres away, which was much closer than our average distance apart of 225m km. And even at this point last month, Mars was still 70.8m km from us. Interestingly, the occurrence came as scientists have discovered the first large body of liquid water on the red planet. Blood moon for breakfast Yesterday’s event would be followed this morning by another rare happening – an eclipsed moon that could be visible on one horizon while the Sun rose on the other. This spectacle, called a selenelion, was due to unfold a few minutes after 8am, and could be best viewed in southern areas, provided the skies were clear. Being able to see the Sun and a lunar eclipse at once might be thought impossible, given these events typically happened when the Sun, the Earth and the moon were all in a straight line. But the bending of the rays of light caused by our atmosphere made it feasible to see the selenelion, so long as we were in the right place. Because the total lunar eclipse had been ongoing at the time of moonset and sunrise, there were few vantage points on our planet to experience it – but New Zealand was fortunately one of them. In our case, Otago and Southland stood to get the best glimpse, although, even from Auckland, the eclipse would still be partial as the moon disappeared below the horizon. In Dunedin, the interval would be reduced to four minutes; in Christchurch, three minutes. During the total eclipse – due to begin at 7.30am – the moon would appear much fainter than it usually appeared and coloured between dark brown and blood

red. The colouration of this so-called “ b l o o d moon” – an occurrence shrouded in ancient superstition – was due to some sunlight leaking through Earth’s atmosphere and reaching the moon. Red light had a better chance of doing so for the same reason the sky was blue – shorter wavelengths were scattered more efficiently by the molecules in our atmosphere. “Although there is a lunar eclipse visible from New Zealand every couple of years, on average, being located in the right place to see a celestial peculiarity like a selenelion is much less frequent, and very few people have witnessed one,” said Dr Duncan Steel, of Otago’s Centre for Space Science Technology. A planetary banquet People also might have noticed five planets – Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars – all together in the evening sky lately. “It’s a co-incidence, basically,” astronomer Dr Grant Christie said. “First, if we consider Saturn and Jupiter – Saturn goes around the sun every 30 years, while Jupiter goes around it every 12 years, so for a large chunk of time they’re on opposite sides of the sky, and never seen at the same time.

In brief Rapper in court Rapper Scribe yesterday admitted a wilful damage charge but will stand trial on six other domesticrelated charges. The chart-topping hip-hop artist, whose real name is Malo Ioane Luafutu, appeared at Christchurch District Court late yesterday afternoon. His lawyer, defence counsel Elizabeth Bulger said Scribe, 39, admits a charge of wilful damage. But the fatherof-four entered not guilty pleas to six other charges, including four alleged protection order breaches, male assaults female and assault with intent to injure. He was remanded Scribe on continued bail, with existing conditions, to a case review hearing on September 27. – NZME

Gun incident in Oamaru Armed Offenders Squad are attending an incident in Oamaru where a man pulled out a gun in public. A police spokesperson said AOS and police were responding to an incident at an Oamaru property on Wansbeck Street at around 11am yesterday morning. Police arrested a man who pulled out a firearm in public. Ongoing inquiries are being made. – NZME “It just so happens that at the moment Jupiter is passing Saturn, so they are both closer together in the sky at the present time.” Added to that were the unusual cameos of Mercury and Venus – planets that were more typically perched either just to the east or west of the Sun. “Most of the time, they’re obscured by the brightness, so again, it’s relatively unusual to have them both in the western sky where people can see them both.” Mercury was now not as visible as it had been, but Venus could still be viewed more clearly than normal. “If this was happening in the pre-dawn sky, we wouldn’t be paying much attention, but when they’re all there in the evening sky, people are more likely to take notice.” Christie said the combination of all these events was interesting, but nonetheless all predictable under the laws of astronomy. “It’s pure clockwork.” – NZME

■ PAKISTAN

Khan vows on poverty Former cricket star Imran Khan declared victory this week in Pakistan’s parliamentary election and vowed to run the country “as it has never before been run” by fighting corruption, seeking regional co-operation and forging a new relationship with the US that was not “one-sided”. TV stations reported Khan and his Tehreek-e-Insaf party, or PTI, maintained a commanding lead from Wednesday’s balloting. But his leading rival, Shahbaz Sharif, rejected the outcome, citing allegations of vote-rigging. Pakistan’s election commission struggled with technical problems and had to revert to a manual count, delaying the announcement of final results until yesterday. That left unclear whether the PTI will have a simple majority in the National Assembly or have to form a coalition government. But that didn’t stop the 65-year-old Khan from proclaiming his triumph in an address to the nation, in which he pledged to create an Islamic welfare state to provide education and employment for the poor to fulfill a campaign promise to create 10 million jobs. “Today in front of you, in front of the people of Pakistan, I pledge I will run Pakistan in such a way as it has never before been run,” Khan said, vowing to wipe out corruption, strengthen institutions he called dysfunctional and regain national pride by developing international relationships based on respect and equality. While Khan appeared casual and conciliatory in his speech, his words were laced with passion. He said the United States treats Pakistan like a mercenary, giving it billions of dollars to fight the war on terrorism in a region beset with militant ex-

Imran Khan tremists. “Unfortunately, so far our relations were one-sided. America thinks that it gives Pakistan money to fight for them. Because of this Pakistan suffered a lot,” said Khan, who has been critical of the US-led conflict in neighboring Afghanistan. He offered nothing to suggest an improvement in Pakistan’s already testy relationship with Washington since President Donald Trump’s tweets in January that accused Islamabad of taking US aid and returning only lies and deceit. Seeking good relations with his neigh-

bors, Khan addressed Pakistan’s rival, India. The two nuclear powers have had a long-running conflict over the disputed region of Kashmir. “Take one step toward us and we will take two steps toward you,” he said in a peace offering while still decrying widespread human rights abuses in Kashmir. Khan also advocated an open border policy with Afghanistan, even suggesting the two countries embrace a “European Union” type relationship. The plan seems unlikely, with Pakistan’s military already building hundreds of border outposts and an accompanying fence along its western frontier with Afghanistan despite oftenviolent opposition from Kabul. Khan focused on what he wanted to do for the poor in Pakistan and his vision of a country that bowed to no one, where everyone was equal under the law and taxes were paid by the rich to fund services for the less fortunate. His campaign message of a new Pakistan seemed to resonate with young voters in a country where 64 per cent of its 200 million people are under 30. Khan said the elections were the most transparent and promised to investigate every complaint of irregularity that his opponents presented. “It is thanks to God (that) we won and we were successful,” he said.

Designs for 3D-printed guns online They look futuristic, the type of firearms that would-be assassins use in movies: 3D-printed guns made of a hard plastic that are simple to assemble, easy to conceal and tough to trace. The future is here. After spending years fighting the federal government for the right to do so, a Texas company was given the green light to post blueprints online showing people how to make 3D-printed guns from the comfort of their home. Gun safety advocates and some law enforcement officials are appalled, worried that this is exactly what criminals and terrorists want: guns that can’t be flagged by metal detectors, don’t have serial numbers to trace, and don’t require the usual background checks. A coalition of gun-control groups filed an appeal this week in federal court seeking to block a recent Trump administration ruling allowing Cody Wilson and his company, Defense Distributed, to post blueprints online to create a 3Dprinted firearm. “There is a market for these guns and it’s not just among enthusiasts and hobbyists,” said Nick Suplina, managing director for law and policy at Everytown for Gun Safety, one of the three groups that have gone to court. “There’s a real desire and profit motive in the criminal underworld as well.” Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, first published downloadable designs for a 3D-printed firearm in 2013.

It was downloaded about 100,000 times until the State Department ordered him to cease, contending it violated federal export laws since some of the blueprints were downloaded by people outside the United States. But in a reversal that stunned gun-control advocates, the State Department in late June settled its case against Wilson and agreed to allow him to resume posting the blueprints at the end of July. Wilson took to Twitter, declaring victory and proclaiming he would start back up on August 1. Gun industry experts say the guns are simply a modern-day equivalent of what already is legal and readily available: the ability to assemble your own firearm using traditional materials and methods at

home without serial numbers. They argue that 3D-printed firearms won’t be a draw for criminals since the printers needed to make one are wildly expensive and the firearms themselves aren’t very durable. “It costs thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to acquire a printer and the files and the knowhow to do this. They don’t work worth a damn. Criminals can obviously go out and steal guns or even manufacture quote-unquote real guns, not 3D printed,” said Larry Keane, executive director of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, which represents gun manufacturers. “If you’re a gang banger in LA, are you going to go out and spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a printer to print a gun that doesn’t work very well or are you just going to steal one?” - AP

It’s a girl! Singer Michael Buble and his wife Luisana Lopilato have welcomed a baby daughter. The Argentine actress posted a black and white photo of the newborn’s hand on Instagram. She wrote in Spanish: “How to explain that our heart explodes with love? That there’s not enough hours in a day to think about it. I thank God for making us this gift of life and happiness! Because looking in her eyes is looking at heaven itself! We love you to infinity and beyond.” The couple are already parents to Noah, five – who has been battling stomach cancer – and another son, Elias, who was born in January 2016. - AAP

Tweet cost ‘everything’ A defiant and sometimes rambling Roseanne Barr has taken to Sean Hannity’s Fox News program in the US and, defiant and humbled in equal parts, says the controversial tweet that led to the cancellation of her popular rebooted show was a “mistake” and “it cost me everything, my life’s work.” But she also said the tweet was meant to express a political view, not a racial one, and insisted her intentions had been misunderstood. - AAP

Charlie’s Angels reboot Director Elizabeth Banks has found her angels. Sources tell Variety that Sony has set Kristen Stewart, Aladdin’s Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska to star in its reboot of Charlie’s Angels. Banks will also be joining the trio as Bosley.

Mt Hutt could be NZ’s best A

s you make your way up the long and winding road towards New Zealand’s Mt Hutt skifield, two things quickly become apparent: the lack of guard rails on much of the road and the steepness of the mountain face that lingers just over the edge. As I look out the window as we near the top of the more than 1500-metre ascent, I turn to my friend who has the unenviable task of driving and say, “You’re not scared of heights are you mate?” It was supposed to be a joke, but the seriousness of the response that came back caught me off guard. The road we’re driving on – one of the highest in the country – was built by a group of hard-headed Kiwis in 1970 with determination, dynamite and some heavy roadclearing machinery. The result is an intimidating pathway to one of New Zealand’s best skifields. Situated about an hour inland from Christchurch on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Mt Hutt boasts the longest vertical chairlift access of any

Writing for news.com.au, Aussie traveller Nick Whigham discovers one of our best skifields – and the cheap beers nearby. mountain in the country. If you’re going skiing in the South Island, outside of the Queenstown region, you’re probably doing it here. As we pull into the carpark, my colleague behind the wheel is noticeably relieved to have reached our destination. But it won’t be the last time he gets thrown in the deep end before the trip is over. Mt Hutt has one of the longest snow seasons in New Zealand. After opening on June 9, the season will run through until mid-October. “You can ski here until Christmas,” says Ritchie Owen, the mountain’s marketing co-ordinator. “Last year we closed with a three- metre base. It was ridiculous.” Typically a majority of the snowfall comes in July and August, so when we arrived at the very beginning of July, much of the snow was

manufactured with the mountain operator relying on its 90 snow lances and 20 fan guns to jumpstart its snow coverage. “This year we’ve upgraded our snow-making system and we’ve been able to have all trails and lifts going from day one which is a real boost for us,” says James McKenzie, the ski area manager. “We can pump out around about 135 litres of water a second, which I think equates to somewhere around 25 tonnes of snow a minute. So it’s quite a lot of snow we can make in a short space of time.” On our first morning on the slopes, my colleague and cameraman has pencilled in a lesson as he hasn’t put on a pair of skies for about a decade. When we catch up afterwards, he sounds ready to go. “Like riding a bike,” he tells me. Without much thought I proceed to drag him to the top of the moun-

tain to get some filming done. The only problem is the area I take him begins with a steep and narrow run. With camera gear stacked on his shoulder he tentatively follows me down. But after a couple of epic falls, I quickly realised the error of my ways. When we finally get to the bottom, I suggest heading back up to the top, but the idea is met with decidedly less enthusiasm this time. “Ahh, is there another way down?” he asks, sounding concerned I would lead him astray again. I had clearly over-estimated the confidence contained in the bikeriding metaphor. “You can get into some terrain that will really scare you,” says Greg Young, originally from Perth, who first started working at the mountain as a ski instructor, but now looks after Mt Hutt’s social media.

“When I came over here the first time, I did a bit of travelling and it really comes home how steep some of the terrain is here.” From inexperienced skiers to long-time shredders, Mt Hutt can cater to all levels. “Mt Hutt is definitely a big mountain, we’ve got the biggest vertical (in New Zealand) in terms of our chairlifts, McKenzie says. The skifield has three large chairlifts, covering nearly 700 metres from top to bottom. “You can’t get that vertical anywhere else in the South Island.” When you talk to the locals, the word that often gets used to describe Mt Hutt and the local town of Methven, which sits about a 45-minute drive from the skifield car park, is “authentic”. “When you come up here your skiing alongside locals,” McKenzie says. “You can sit next to someone

kept secret about milk prices. “There’s a strong sense of community around here, they really take ownership of the mountain,” says Owen. It’s that strong sense of community that helped Mt Hutt be awarded New Zealand’s best skifield in 2015, ’16 and ’17 by the World Ski Awards. No small feat considering the competition with Mt Ruapehu in the North Island and the collection of mountains in Queenstown and Wanaka. “Yeah Queenstown has a party atmosphere,” Owen says. “But what you get here is a strippedback experience, it’s an authentic and laidback New Zealand atmosphere.” The small town of Methven is dotted with restaurants, cafes, resorts and pubs offering live music. Our accommodation at the Brinkley Resort just down the road from the town’s two major pubs has a tennis court, a pair of hot tubs with the mountain in the background and a chef that people seem pretty excited about. But most importantly, with the

slightly favourable exchange rate, happy hour’s beers set you back just $A3.68 ($NZ4). Not bad for a schooner (or five) of Asahi. We spent three days on the slopes and were lucky to be treated to consecutive days of fantastic weather with bluebird conditions and practically no wind. Plenty of people were enjoying the good weather, which included taking advantage of a hot tub near the top chairlift. There were no real lift queues despite being the first week of holidays in New Zealand, as well as private school holidays in Australia. But given its location, the weather can change pretty quickly at Mt Hutt. To keep a close eye on Mother Nature, the mountain has observation towers dotted around its peak which collect data and send it to the meteorological bureau in Wellington which sends back real-time forecasts each hour for the skifield. “It’s very changeable weather here, probably more so than any other mountain in the South Island just because where we’re located

on the alps here, there are days when it gets particularly windy,” McKenzie says. “We can start the day and it can be dead calm conditions and at the end of the day we can have pretty strong winds, so we’re monitoring the weather all the time.” It’s this reality that has earned the mountain the somewhat undesirable nickname of Mt Shut for the high number of closed days. “People come into the cafes in town and get angry because they can’t get up the mountain,” says one Methven local who works as a housekeeper during the winter season. But if the mountain does close for the day, there are other smaller skifields nearby like Porters, Craigieburn and Mt Cheeseman that will usually still be open. When you fly to New Zealand (which takes just a few hours from Sydney) it’s clear from the Air New Zealand safety video about the airline’s support of scientific projects in Antarctica, that it’s a country with a deep connection to the environment. Mt Hutt is so high that operators

aren’t too worried about the affect of global warming on its snowfall in the decades to come, but it does contend with Mother Nature’s other uncertainties. The mountain was rocked by the 2011 Christchurch earthquake and visitation has only recently returned to pre-earthquake levels. “The Christchurch earthquake was a big deal for us, we saw our visitation almost halve in the year following the earthquake, but Christchurch has rebounded pretty quickly,” McKenzie says. “In terms of our visitation from Christchurch (which makes up about 80 per cent of visitors to the mountain) we’re just past where we were prior to the earthquake.” I keep hearing from Aussies travelling to the mountain that even with flights, the cost of going skiing in New Zealand is comparable to a snow trip back home. This is particularly true for those in Queensland (the biggest number of Australian visitors to Mt Hutt) who already have to travel a far distance to get to a skifield in Oz. A couple of empty nesters from

Australia chatting in the hot tub at the resort remark about how even after the cost of flights, the ski holiday in NZ is financially comparable to a stay at Jindabyne and skiing in the Snowy Mountains. Depending on the circumstance there is some truth to this, especially when the exchange rate is factored in. A life pass for the day at Mt Hutt will cost you about $A92 ($NZ100) which compares to $A140 ($NZ152) at Thredbo and $A149 ($NZ162) at Perisher. And if you’re a young family, kids under 10 ski free all season long at Mt Hutt. A Melburnian I meet on the chairlift who came over to visit a friend in Christchurch shares the sentiment and about the affordability of skiing in NZ and seems pretty happy with the mountain’s terrain. At the end of the day as I order my third $A3.68 schooner of Asahi and think about jumping in the hot tub, I start thinking they’re on to something. – NZME The author travelled to Mt Hutt as a guest of New Zealand Tourism

Hunky tradie wins $23k job compo A hunky tradesman who claimed he was sacked after a housewife flirted with him on the job has been awarded $23,000 in compensation. New Zealand roofing technician Samuel Newman had been working topless in the 29 degree heat when he alleged a client’s wife invited him inside her Auckland home for a drink in December. But the 22-year-old claimed he was given the boot from his role after he was accused of flirting with the woman – who he alleged told him he was “the best-looking tradie she’d ever seen”. Last week, New Zealand’s Employment Relations Authority (ERA) ruled he should be awarded $22,875 for unfair dismissal, loss of dignity, humiliation and lost wages. Newman, who has scores of online fans for his sizzling topless selfies, said: “It was a hot day so I was working with my shirt off, and the woman said ‘why don’t you come into the shade for a bit’? “Then she asked how old I was

and said: ‘come inside for a drink and a ham and cheese croissant.’ Later she said: ‘You’re the bestlooking tradie I’ve ever seen’. “She asked me inside a bunch of times, she was a good-looking woman but I felt a little bit strange so I said I was fine thanks. ”I’d kept things perfectly professional on the day, I did nothing wrong. “So I just felt betrayed when I lost my job. “Getting the verdict was a good feeling, it was about putting things right.” When Newman arrived to his next workday, he claimed he was pulled into a meeting with his bosses and given a written warning. They said this was due to a complaint from the woman’s husband over his “unprofessional behaviour” and poor quality of work on the job. Newman, who has found another roofing job, claims he was later told over the phone he had been stood down until further notice. He said: “I felt betrayed, let

Chairman Wilson stands down Fonterra Cooperative chair John Wilson has stood down from the role heading the country’s largest dairy processor with immediate effect as he recovers from a “serious health scare”. Wilson, who has undergone a significant surgery in the past month and requires ongoing treatment, will remain a Fonterra director until the co-operative’s annual meeting in November, when he will retire from the board, the Auckland-based company said in a statement. Fonterra’s board has selected John Monaghan, who has been a director on the board since 2008, as the co-operative’s new chair. Wilson and outgoing Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings have faced criticism in recent times following the poor performance of the cooperative’s 18.8 per cent investment in Chinese

John Wilson infant milk formula company Beingmate and lacklustre earnings growth. Spierings announced in March that he would leave the position in the course of this year, and pressure has been mounting for Wilson to also step down. Fonterra said that Monaghan has been closely involved in the

process to appoint a new chief executive and will now lead that process with the full involvement of the board. Monaghan grew up on a dairy farm and has farming interests in the Wairarapa and Otago. He has served on multiple Fonterra committees, chairing several of them, and taken a lead role in representing Fonterra’s interests on customer visits and global trade issues and has strong networks both domestically and internationally with key stakeholders, the company said. Wilson said the decision to stand down as chair had been difficult but was ultimately in the best interests of the cooperative. “Continuing as chairman when I cannot put my full energy and attention into the role is not appropriate.” - NZME

Non-Kiwis buy 2.8% of homes The number of New Zealand home transfers to foreign buyers eased slightly in the second quarter, based on new data that tracks ownership changes from Statistics New Zealand. The share of home transfers to overseas people fell from 3.3 per cent last quarter to 2.8 per cent this quarter, Stats NZ said. “Overseas people” includes people who are not New Zealand citizens or resident-visa holders. There were 39,627 property transfers involving a home in the June 2018 quarter, up 1.5 per cent on the year.

Some 8 per cent of those were to people who held a resident visa, meaning they were not New Zealand citizens but could live in New Zealand permanently. “These could be people who have lived in New Zealand for many decades and chosen not to get citizenship, or they could be people who have only held a resident visa for a very short time,” property statistics manager Melissa McKenzie said. A further 11 per cent were to companies and other corporate entities. Information on the ownership of these corporates (by

New Zealanders or overseas people) is not currently available. “We can say confidently that 2.8 per cent of home transfers were to overseas people in the June quarter. However, it is less clear how many corporate buyers might have had overseas owners,” said McKenzie. Auckland continued to top the list for home transfers involving non NZ citizens or resident-visa holders with 741 property transfers, followed by Hamilton City, where there were 48 transfers and Queenstown-Lakes district, where there were 27. - NZME

A life-long passion for building What started as a building apprenticeship under Ian Ferguson more than 35 years ago has developed into a lifelong passion and employment for well-known Mid Cantabrian, Geoff Frew. After finishing his apprenticeship, Frew has never really looked back – he’s been doing it his way ever since and the introduction of JKF Homes to his life is just another step along the way. Introduced by he and his wife, Sonya – JKF Homes follows the former Smitheram and Frew business which had been such a big part of the Ashburton and Mid Canterbury makeup, and Frew is excited about what the future holds. “It’s a really exciting time for us, things are happening quickly,” he said. “Building has been my life for as long as I can remember now really, it’s all I’ve done and this (JKF Homes) has been a really proud process to be a part of.” Named after his and Sonya’s daughters, Jemma and Kayla - the J and K in JKF, the business has expanded quite noticeably with bases now in Timaru and also the buzzing town of Twizel where things are really starting to take shape.

Changing to meet customer’s needs When it comes to the building game, if you sit on your hands for too long, you’ll find yourself well behind the pack. As the world of technology becomes more and more important in the lives of everyday people, the need for the services they require to be the same is more paramount than ever. So, Frew and his team have tried to ensure that they are just as much a prominent part of the regions they can be found in as they possibly can be. “It’s a little bit like the little brother trying to keep up with his older brother really,” Frew said. “If you sit around and do the same things over and over again, you’ll get left behind so we are trying to keep on top of everything that is happening out there in the world when it comes to improvements and enhancements.” A major bonus that JKF Homes has brought to the party are the attractive packages that any prospective home builder can have at their fingertips from the moment they walk in the doors. Listing everything that anyone would want to know about a potential new build, including a base price for the entire process, the information pamphlets are impressive and answer a lot of the questions that might have normally needed to be asked. “We found that sitting down and talking to someone about a build and then having to come back to them later with a quote was taking a lot of time out of the process. “So the set builds, which can be adapted and changed to suit anyone’s needs gives anyone who might be in the market to build a real chance to see what they can get for what their budget is, and we’ve found it’s been really well received too. “Although those are there for anyone to look at, we are still very much open to sitting down with anyone and working through their own plans and coming up with something. “It gives people an idea of what they might get for their investment - without having to stress a lot about the planning and design process, although those opportunities are there if that’s what they want to do.”

The perfect place to call home With a new focus and a new direction, all that was required was a new location, and JKF Homes believe they’ve found the perfect home. Nestled at the southern end of the Tinwald Shopping complex which was formerly the home of Platters Cafe, they’ve found a strong prominent location in which they’ll catch the attention of everyone driving through Ashburton. “For us, it was exactly what we wanted – the perfect place to call home base,” Geoff said. “It’s a great spot for being able to bring people in and with its visibility from the road, it should catch the attention of people driving past.” The significant older looking building has a real sense of character to it from the moment you open the old sliding door at the shop front and enter into what is the showroom of the building. With fitted kitchens, bathrooms and other areas of the everyday home to look at, the first part of the building gives off a real sense of the professionalism and effort that goes into every job undertaken by JKF Homes. Through a little further, Caroline will be there to meet visitors in a warm and immediately relaxing environment with meeting rooms to either side as well as the

We do everything building related If there’s a job that needs to be done, JKF Homes is the business to do it. They’ll literally pick up anything building related – no matter how big or how small it might be. With a dedicated team of builders stretched across the heart of the South Island, they’re on the spot to pick up alterations, renovations of complete home builds. “That’s quite an important thing, we’re not just new home builders, we literally will get our teeth into any job. “The team of guys we have out in the field are all experienced and skilled at what they do, so there’s no job too big or too small. “We can organise pretty much anything.” Obviously, new home builds are a massive part of JKF Homes. From the initial concept design to laying down the last piece of the carpet, Frew wants them to be there every step of the way to ensure that the dream home requirement is well and truly met. They largely use local suppliers and contract in other local businesses to use their specialist skill sets to get the complete results with a real focus on ensuring that the end result is everything a home builder would want and more. “It’s a big thing in a small place like this, using people and businesses that people know and trust. “We’re lucky here, I’ve had some longstanding relationships with other businesses that we’ve been able to bring across with us to help get things done and it seems to work really well. “It also means that we can handle pretty much anything that someone might need.”

OUR VIEW

We lose a lot if we lose local businesses O

ur forefathers built the Ashburton District on the strength of locally-owned and locally-operated small businesses. Almost every store that littered the streets of our towns and areas was then owned by a well-known public figure – many of whom are still talked about today when nostalgic moments in time arrive. Although somewhat different now, with much larger, franchised-based shops filling major parts of our CBD, the feeling is still the same – that the heart of the district beats the strongest in our locally-owned and locallyoperated stores. Today we pay homage to those

types of business with our locally owned and operated advertising feature which fills many pages in today’s Guardian. You’ll see that there’s many businesses which remain owned and operated by people based here in our district, although in some sense we only really scratch the surface. The ability to be locally owned

and locally operated is a godsend at times and we don’t have to look much further than our own front door here at the Guardian to realise that. Established almost 140 years ago, the Ashburton Guardian has been a locally-owned and locallyoperated business ever since. One of very few independentlyowned newspapers in the country, the continued loyalty to the paper from the Bell family has allowed us to remain true to our roots and keep focus on what is important. Had the Guardian been sold to one of the big media companies, the newspaper you read today would be very different. There is every possibility that

we too could have ignored the community aspect of news, like so many papers around us have done in recent times and our focus could very well have been shifted right away from what is really important to you, our valued readers. And that’s the same with any other locally-owned and locallyoperated business. Without the restraints of the corporate world, a business is not constrained to toe the line of everyone else and our businesses can adjust and adapt to the community around them as opposed to what might work in a place like Christchurch, which has no relevance to what it’s like here in

Ashburton. Every dollar we spend in those local stores also ensures their future remains the way it is – only a struggling business will begin to look elsewhere and potentially search for change, but a business that is well supported will only foster and grow and continue to exist to serve its purpose. The thought of walking down the street here in Ashburton, Methven or Rakaia and not seeing businesses that are recognisable through their own existence and their own back story of local ownership is a grim thought. It is part of what makes any region great and it would be a shame to lose that privilege.

In 1995, a jury in Union, South Carolina, rejected the death penalty for Susan Smith, sentencing her to life in prison for drowning her two young sons (Smith will be eligible for parole in 2024). In 2002, nine coal miners trapped in the flooded Quecreek Mine in Somerset, Pennsylvania, were rescued after 77 hours underground. Ten years ago: Four suicide bombers believed to be women struck a Shiite pilgrimage in Baghdad and a Kurdish protest rally in northern Iraq, killing at least 57 people and wounding nearly 300.

Five years ago: Pope Francis’ historic trip to his home continent of South America ended after a marathon week in Brazil. In southern Italy, 39 people were killed when a tour bus plunged into a ravine. An armed thief stole a $136 million diamond collection from a jewellery show at the Carlton International Hotel in Cannes, France. One year ago: British baby Charlie Gard died, a week shy of his first birthday; his parents had fought for the right to take him to the United States for an experimental medical treatment for a rare genetic disease that left him

brain-damaged, but doctors opposed the request, saying the treatment wouldn’t help him and might cause him to suffer. Today’s birthdays: Actor Darryl Hickman is 87. Ballet dancer-choreographer Jacques d’Amboise is 84. Musical conductor Riccardo Muti is 77. Garfield creator Jim Davis is 73. Actress Sally Struthers is 71. Actress Georgia Engel is 70. Rock musician Simon Kirke (Bad Company) is 69. Rock musician Steve Morse (Deep Purple) is 64. Actor Michael Hayden is 55. Actress Lori Loughlin is 54. Jazz musician-producer Delfeayo Marsalis is 53. Actress Elizabeth

Berkley is 46. Singer Afroman is 44. Country musician Todd Anderson (Heartland) is 43. Rock singer Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach) is 42. Country singer Carly Goodwin is 37. Actor Jon Michael Hill is 33. Actor Dustin Milligan is 33. Actor Nolan Gerard Funk is 32. Rapper Soulja Boy is 28. Pop/rock singer Cher Lloyd (TV: The X Factor) is 25.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Saturday, July 28, the 209th day of 2018. There are 156 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On July 28, 1945, the US Senate ratified the United Nations Charter by a vote of 89-2. On this date: In 1794, Maximilien Robespierre, a leading figure of the French Revolution, was sent to the guillotine. In 1914, World War One began as Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. In 1932, federal troops forcibly dispersed the so-called Bonus Army of World War One veterans who had gathered in Washington to demand payments they weren’t scheduled to receive until 1945. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the end of coffee rationing, which had limited people to one pound of coffee every five weeks since it began in November, 1942. In 1945, a US Army bomber crashed into the 79th floor of New York’s Empire State Building, killing 14 people. In 1959, in preparation for statehood, Hawaiians voted to send the first Chinese-American, Republican Hiram L. Fong, to the US Senate and the first Japanese-American, Democrat Daniel K. Inouye, to the US House of Representatives. In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he was increasing the number of American troops in South Vietnam from 75,000 to 125,000 “almost immediately”. In 1976, an earthquake devastated northern China, killing at least 242,000 people, according to an official estimate. In 1984, the Los Angeles Summer Olympics opened. In 1989, Israeli commandos abducted a pro-Iranian Shiite Muslim cleric, Sheik Abdul-Karim Obeid, from his home in south Lebanon. (He was released in January 2004 as part of a prisoner swap.)

Should schools have the right to question parenting? W

hat’s your opinion on opinions? Just like ear wax and toe fluff, everyone has opinions, but unlike toe fluff, some people feel it is necessary to share them. I want to ask you, my humble little Ashburtonion, specifically about your opinion about schools and in particular – discipline. As a principal and teacher I have come across a vast, seething variety of bad behaviour from children and adults. I personally believe that great children come from great parents, so my opinion is that the majority of behaviour I deal with has been learned during a child’s upbringing. So here is the deal – in my opinion, parents are responsible for the discipline of their children. On many occasions I have enrolled children who present anti-social behaviours at the age of five. Some of these behaviours are grown out of and some never subside or morph into something more insidious. The reason why this behaviour is not changing, I believe, is due to a lack of discipline in the

Peter Livingstone OUT OF SCHOOL

home. Now, here is the issue for me as a principal and us as schools. One of the biggest changes to parent school interactions that I have observed over the past 20 years are parents who believe they have the right to question and argue back to schools about discipline decisions. If you were to ask your local school teachers and principals if parents have become more vocal in their opinions about how a school is handling behaviour, I bet my next round of toe fluff they will say yes. What is also frustrating is dealing with parents who question a discipline action against their child. I don’t know where this surging round of righteousness has come from, but I do want to know your opinion on this matter.

If parents feel they have the right to question and argue about a discipline or consequence the school has dished out to their child, can school do the same about the parenting we see? Should schools have the right to question parenting? What do you think? How would you feel if I told you that I believed your parenting needs to change in order to change the behaviour of your child? Or if I questioned your decision to allow your child late nights on a screen resulting in a tired and irritable child that can’t settle to thinking tasks in the classroom? Would you be offended if principals and teachers were direct and told you what they thought? I agree that on many occasions it is not what you say, but how you say it and when done in a respectful and supportive way, schools can question what is happening at home. Sadly, on some occasions, we now come face to face with parents who come in angry, accusatory and rude who believe that our consequences or discipline are too much. This has usually resulted because parents totally

believe the story their child tells them when they come home. Often there are more than two sides to a story. It’s like trying to untangle spaghetti. Behavioural incidents between children can be complex and quick. Children can struggle to accurately recall the sequence of events of both their behaviour and the behaviour of others. Trying to get a correct version of events can take a lot of time and questions. So while it is understandable that parents can be angry that there are consequences dished out when they believe their child doesn’t deserve them, is it necessary that we as schools need to spend time re-investigating events and justifying our actions? Can we do the same of parents? I would be genuinely interested to hear from parents and readers – should schools have the right to question parenting in the same way parents question schools? Plato said: “Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.” So what is your opinion on opinions?

YOUR VIEW Representation Can I reply to the “rant” that apparently happened at Thursday’s council meeting, reported in Friday’s paper under “Tempers Flare”. Selwyn Price claims that reduced councillors “would have a negative impact on representation, that consultation had been insufficient, information had been confusing and the community did not understand what they were being asked, plus council didn’t know what submitters were actually thinking”. Selwyn you are wrong on all counts. Representation will be 10 around the table with the mayor having the ability to contribute and vote. The consultation process was definitely correct and sufficient. Can I say Selwyn our community definitely did understand what was asked. And for you to say Selwyn that council didn’t know what submitters were actually thinking is a slight on staff and your fellow councillors as a whole.

The fact Selwyn, reportedly, “constantly interrupted and incessantly called points of order” when others spoke proves how weak his argument was. Selwyn, maybe learn to listen to other points of view, you may learn something. You never win trying to shout down people you disagree with. Now the cynic in me has another theory why Selwyn is so violently opposed to this proposal. When you view the election result from 2016 for the Ashburton ward you will note Selwyn was the lowest polling candidate with 2085 votes. Selwyn sits at the council table only because Donna [Favel] became mayor. Second lowest polling candidate was Thelma Bell. Maybe there is bit of selfpreservation involved here! I rest my case. Well done to the councillors who voted YES for change. Tony Todd Councillor Selwyn Price responds: I’m happy to respond to Tony Todd’s points, but I should probably preface it by saying to Tony, and to the rest of our community,

the very obvious – do not believe everything you read in the newspaper. 1. Correct, but the point I was making was that having less councillors does not improve representation, ie. a ratio of 1:3777 is not better than 1:2833. 2. What I actually said was the opposite of what was reported. I actually paraphrased the Guardian editor, who, around the time of this consultation, wrote of consultation fatigue in our community. 3. Not everyone in our community had all the pertinent information made available to them. An example I gave was an understanding that having 25 per cent less councillors would not save 25 per cent of the councillor salary bill. 4. I have passed on concerns expressed by constituents about the nature of the pre-survey and consultation forms on previous occasions. In this instance I was referring to comments made by a number of submitters that suggested they clearly didn’t support all aspects of the proposal but had ticked ‘yes’ anyway. No slight

intended whatsoever. At council we work to an agreed set of standing orders. Interruptions are not tolerated and didn’t occur, but points of order are ruled on. My points of order against councillor Stuart Wilson were all upheld by the chair. In fact, the only other member of the public present wrote that I was “very calm and collected”. Tony, you can be as cynical as you like, but the debate was predicated on the logical assumption that there is absolutely no guarantee that any single one of us would be around the table after October 2019, regardless of the outcome of this proposal. My consistent (not “violent”) opposition to this proposal was due to not a single councillor being able to tell me how it would improve representation for our community. Those who know me will tell you I am a person of principle, not there for my own benefit, and I certainly haven’t yet decided whether I will even stand at the next election. You might also like to reflect on why it is that no previous term of our council, since 1992 when

Editor’s note: There was some confusion yesterday over a quote which appeared in Friday’s Guardian in regard to the above subject. The story stated that councillor Selwyn Price said that the people who did not make a submission probably wanted the status quo to remain. This statement should have, in fact, been that – a statement and not a direct quote. While it was implied by councillor Price during the meeting, it wasn’t directly said in those exact words. The Guardian apologises for the oversight.

ADC went from 18 councillors to 12, has put forward a similar proposal, despite the reported opinions of three former councillors in Thursday’s Guardian. Sensationalist headlines sell newspapers, but I can assure you that my temper did not flare. At the end of the day councillor Wilson and I sat down and had an amiable chat over a “cup of tea”. I’d be happy to do the same with you and expand on my responses. Selwyn Price

The Waihi experience Timaru Girls’ So is Waihi the place for your son? When we ask current and past parents, “Why Waihi?” for their sons, the list of responses is diverse – small class sizes; broad and holistic curriculum; great technology; male teachers; sport/music for all; wonderful environment; excellent facilities; high academic standards; boarding opportunity; values; manners; aspirations ... However, the key point of difference, the thing that is mentioned the most by parents, and is at the centre of everything we do – is that Waihi is a school designed for boys! So what does it look like ...

In the classroom

Specialist science lessons; differentiated learning; small streamed maths groups; focus on literacy (Waihi boys love reading); an inquiry-learning approach; hands on practical subjects such as robotics, music, drama, visual art, craft, wood technology; a one-to-one iPad programme.

Outside the classroom

Focus on physical activities, PE, outdoor education, swimming, cross-country and athletics; everybody plays team sports for the school; all boys sing and can learn an instrument; annual school production.

House competitions

All boys are in one of four ‘houses’. They compete throughout the year in sporting and non-sporting competitions, including all major team sports, debating, chess, general knowledge, speeches.

Service

All boys are encouraged to undertake some service and leadership activity, particularly in the final two years. This may include sports coaching and mentoring; librarianship; ‘big brother’ work with younger boys; or even being on the famous Waihi mowing squad. We invite you to come and see for yourself why Waihi really is a school designed for boys.

Timaru Girls’ High School has been educating young women in South Canterbury for 138 years. It takes this role in our community very seriously and is constantly looking for ways to blend a fresh, relevant, girl focused learning approach, while still maintaining the importance of the culture and traditions of the past. Timaru Girls’ are achieving outstanding academic results throughout the senior school. In 2017 91 per cent of Year 11 students achieved Level 1, 88 per cent of Year 12 students achieved Level 2 and 91 per cent of Year 13 students achieved Level 3. We are proud of these results and see them as the culmination of a focused approach in supporting each individual student from a dedicated staff. In 2018 a new classroom block and gym refurbishment was completed. These new facilities are part of stage one of a masterplan to modernise the school and to allow flexible, student focussed learning to occur. Along with the park-like grounds, Timaru Girls’ is a traditional school in the context of contemporary facilities designed to meet the needs of young women. The Timaru Girls’ High School Hostel has undergone significant renovation in the past three years. This has been as a result of a growth numbers of students in recent years. In 2019 places are still available but it

will be important to register interest to secure a space. Numbers are close to the limits in some year levels. Please book to make a time to come and visit and have a look at the new facilities.

MID CANTERBURY ANIMAL SHELTER

Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter – the who, what, where and how MCAS Purpose or Mission: The purpose of Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter is: To advance the wellbeing and care for companion animals abandoned or orphaned in the Mid Canterbury region by providing temporary housing and care until rehomed, whist promoting an awareness for the need of animal desexing and identification.

MCAS Entity Structure: Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter’s operations are managed by a Committee elected by Financial Members at the Annual General Meeting each year, which includes President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, all of whom are governed by the Mid Canterbury Animal Shelter Constitution.

Main Sources of the MCAS’s Cash and Resources Mid Canterbury Animal Shelters main funding source is through donations received, membership fees, fundraising events and the adoption fees paid for animals rehomed through the shelter. Membership fees help cover operation costs of circulating notification and minutes of meeting to members.

Main Methods Used by MCAS to Raise Funds: We rely on our own fundraising abilities to operate, such as the Bouncy Castle we hire out. We rely completely on private donations, and the fees collected

from the adoption of each animal help to offset some of the costs involved in providing care for the animals and preparing an animal for placement into a new home. We receive no government funding or any funds from any national animal welfare organizations.

MCAS’s Reliance on Volunteers and Donated Goods or Services Mid Canterbury Animal Shelters activities are entirely volunteer operated. On average, in total the weekly minimum number of hours of the volunteers would be approximately 1-20, (dependant on roles) hours per week, this

can fluctuate during peak kitten season. The Committee and Financial members volunteer their time to set strategies, attend meetings, and provide foster care and general daily management of the shelter business. We rely heavily on the donations of food, bedding and goods to assist in the operation of fostering animals in care, and to cover cost of vet treatment and care required.

our community. All Shelter animals available for adoption are vet checked, evaluated, flea and worm treated and de-sexed. All dogs are also microchipped, vaccinated, and registered with local council. We ways do our very best to ensure we provide the best shelter, food and environmental enrichment possible, giving 100% to all animals in care.

Local ownership gives a special edge When it comes to going the extra mile in business, you can’t beat a company that is locally owned and operated. That’s one of the hallmarks of the Ashburton business community, so much so, that locally owned and operated is almost a district byword. Walk into most businesses and you’re likely to be greeted by a familiar face. Chances are that familiar face belongs to the person who owns the business. Local ownership gives a busi-

ness a special edge, it means the people you choose to spend your money with have the same commitment to our district that you do. It’s their home, it’s the place they have chosen to raise a family and it’s the place they have chosen to establish a business, to make a living. Many of Ashburton’s locally owned and operated businesses can also boast a link with the district that spans several generations. Some names have been proudly displayed above the

door for decades. Strong, thriving, locally owned businesses are nutured by owners who go the extra mile for their customers by providing the first class service that establishes a solid reputation that in turn builds a loyal customer base. Locally owned businesses and their customers have a relationship that is built on trust and a shared commitment to their community, the place they all call home. Locally owned and operated busi-

nesses, however, would never thrive without a commitment from customers to shop locally. Every time business is taken out of town, dollars seep out of the local economy. Online shopping is here to stay, but it will never offer personal service, the opportunity to touch or view the goods you are buying and most of all, it will never provide the opportunity to share your business experience with a fellow local. You can’t beat the satisfaction of doing business with a local – just like you.

Brian (Manny) Sim is a third generation baker based in Mid Canterbury. His grandfather, a skilled baker, emigrated to New Zealand from Scotland in the late 1890s. Living originally in the North Canterbury region, Grandpappy Sim moved on to reside in Methven where he established a bakehouse. During the 1930s and 1940s, two of his sons, Stuart and Arthur ran their bakery business Sim Bros Ltd from Hinds. After a parting of the ways for the two brothers, Arthur (Brian’s father) moved his Hinds business into Tinwald, on the southern side of Ashburton. From this site, Sim’s Bakery has operated since 1960 and

has become an institution to the people of Mid Canterbury. Locally owned and operated, the bakery is everything you could look for. Remember walking into the door of a bakery and buying old-fashioned homemade bread. That’s just the experience you get when you pop into Sims’ Bakery. Tasty, soft bread inside a yummy crust. You can also find delicious pies topped to the brim with a yummy filling. Slices, slabs, pizza, quiche and other speciality convenience dishes are also available and all just taste sensational!

Back the community KFC

KFC Ashburton has been locally owned and operated for 27 years. Local residents Carol and Garry Haskett first purchased the fast food franchise in early 1991 running it themselves with a small team of 18. Today it is one of six remaining KFC outlets independently owned and operated and is among the busiest stores in New Zealand. Over the years the local franchise has achieved many milestones and accomplishments. A new two storey restaurant was built on the East Street site in late 2009. The franchise has achieved GOLD ratings from KFC International for its facilities and operational excellence over the years. Operations manager, Brad Haskett is very proud of the achievements and credits the success to the dedicated staff and management over the years. Today the business employs over 40 who carry out the challenging and complex day-to-day operations and attributes its ongoing success to the support of its customers and fans of the Colonelâ€™s famous original recipe chicken.

It is this support that has allowed us to give back to the community, sponsoring numerous events, fundraisers, sports teams and local

community initiatives. As for that world famous chicken? The secret herbs and spices still remain a secret!

The fresh chicken continues to be delivered daily and prepared on site by kitchen staff ... and itâ€™s still Finger Lickin Good!

Good on ya, Robbie!

From soil to oil Totally Kiwi and Fourflax Animal Health

Totally Kiwi is a local family owned and operated business producing premium quality flax seed oils. The family has been involved in the production of New Zealand grown and produced flax seed oil for over 28 years and is proud of their product traceability. Totally Kiwi is involved in every step of the production process, from product growth, through to processing, packaging and on to the shelves in store, to ensure total control and quality assurance. Our gourmet oils are rich in omega 3, an essential fatty acid vital for our overall health and wellbeing. Essential fatty acids cannot be made in the body itself, so must be obtained through the diet or dietary supplements. Omega 3 is naturally antiinflammatory within the body â€“ with its high Omega 3 content, flax seed oil has long been renowned as a healthy oil with proven benefits for your skin, joint and heart health. Totally Kiwi oils are all gluten, dairy and GMO free.

The oils are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and offer a great Omega 3 alternative to fish oils. With no artificial flavours, additives, preservatives, colours or chemical residues, you can rest assured you are buying a premium quality local product. Simply drizzle these oils over cooked meats, roast vegetables and salads, or toss through stir-frys, pasta and rice. Also a great addition to casseroles and soups for warm Winter meals! Sister company to Totally Kiwi is Fourflax Animal Health. Owned and operated by the same family members, Fourflax is an established animal health supplier. Fourflax has been manufacturing and distributing premium quality animal health supplements across New Zealand and the globe for several years now, using cold-pressed and locally grown flax seed products as the core ingredient. Each product is formulated using only the best of science and nature, with key ingredients offering proven health benefits to our animals.

Their brand, ProVida, offers a complete collection of natural wellness supplements for cats, dogs and horses. ProVida products are results driven, palatable and easy to use â€Ś and all New Zealand made too! ProVida has a product for every concern, whether your pet has dry and itchy skin, stiff joints & restricted mobility, or digestive and bowel upsets, these products provide significant health and wellness benefits. As a business, Fourflax are passionate about the health and wellbeing of all animals, and as such are proud supporters of Orana Wildlife Park and Hamilton Zoo.

Flax seed oil is sent to the zoos on a monthly basis and is added to the daily meals for the spider monkeys, cheetah, lemurs, gibbons, giraffes and chimpanzees! Fourflax is also proud to sponsor a team of experienced horse riders, including local Ashburton sisters, Kimberley and Jaimee Bird. So, next time your pet drives you mad with itching and scratching, or struggles to get moving in the morning, then look no further for your locally made, natural pet health supplements!

Experts in motor homes and caravans Lifestyle Motorhomes This local family business is a jewel in Ashburtonâ€™s business crown. This busy intensive professional operation employs a raft of tradesmen to repair, maintain, refurbish and rebuild motor homes, caravans and fifth wheel vehicles. When you think about it, you require engineers and coach builders for the chassis and body work when mounting everything from diesel heaters to water tanks to bike racks. Then you require carpenters and joiners for the woodwork and joinery repairs and upgrades, when replacing everything from rotten timber, damaged panelling to upgrading your bench and table tops. You also require an upholsterer when retrimming walls and ceilings, replacing your squabs, carpet or even your vinyl flooring. Fibreglass experts, water proofers and interior painters are also required for all those insurance repairs. And so it goes on with electricians and auto electricians for installing your 12 volt charging systems like solar panels, equaliser chargers and batteries. Then thereâ€™s plumbers and gas fitting experts who are all required to install

fixtures and fittings that make these homes on wheels comfortable and 100 per cent conform to the ever-growing list of regulations. Lifestyle Motorhomes can upgrade, test and certify your electrical systems, your gas system and even complete and certify your plumbing and selfcontainment. Lifestyle can do it all inhouse which is why customers travel from far and wide to utilise their knowledge and skills. I met with Murray McPherson the founder and director of this fantastic enterprise who took me on a tour of the site where row after row of motor homes and caravans stand in various states of rebuild, refurbishment and repair. Murray and Marg have been in this industry for nearly 30 years and it is a labour of love as they work with their team and family in this busy Ashburton workshop. Murray, Marg and their team of professionals have put Ashburton on the Map for NZ motor home owners. They are proud to be local and serve nationally.

New owners, fresh focus Delivering power Plains Power

Fresh and White Fresh and White Limited is a business under significant change. Formerly Ashburton Drycleaners and Laundry Services the business is under new ownership and is being refocused for a significant and healthy future in Ashburton. Owner/Director, David Wyness and his partner, Irina Openko, moved from Auckland in March of this year to take over the business. In that short time there has been a significant recalibration of the business ethos, production capacity, and geographic reach. With new clients in Timaru, Christchurch and Lincoln the business is re-equipping for the next stage in its commercial life. Previously owned by long time operator Murray Lister, the business has and continues to service a wide variety of clients in a broad range of commercial and retail sectors. That will not change although the level and type of services offered are being recalibrated through improved technology and laundry equipment. New RFID technology for tracking

linen has recently been installed and is in the process of roll out. In addition, early in August, new larger washing machines and dryers are being installed and the hunt is on for a new roller ironer. A new vehicle has hit the road with bright new livery, and internally the production area is being reconfigured. “Laundering is not rocket science, but increasingly there needs to be customer focused customisation. That’s our new focus – customised laundry services!” say its excited new owners. “We needed to invest heavily in recalibrating to allow this new focus”. David, who has 15 years’ experience in the laundry industry, has been particularly impressed with the staff of seven who keep the daily business on track. “They know their stuff! Hopefully we’ll be able to give them a sound long term future and a new sense of direction! And personally, Irina and I are loving the Mid Canterbury lifestyle!”

Plains Power is Ashburton’s only locally owned and operated power company. The How – We buy power from the same place and at the same price as all the larger retailers. We have aligned ourselves with a company which provides the necessary platforms and compliance requirements to be able to participate in the highly regulated electricity market. Our business is purely buying and selling power along with customer relations. The Why – Along with many others, we believe the electricity market is changing for the better. Technology allows smaller players like us to offer competitive pricing and solutions to our existing and new customers. By being small it means we have a lot lower overheads than the billion-dollar corporates we are competing against and this is passed through to our customers in pricing. Nevertheless it is a very competitive market and at times it comes down to being 1 or 2 cents

cheaper per unit of power, but when multiplied 10,000 times every year equates to reasonable savings for our customers. Our Philosophy – Our main aims are to have transparent pricing and to give back to our community. With regard to pricing we endeavour to pass all service type charges through at cost. The two reasons for this are, it’s quite simply easier for our reconciliation process but also it shows a true reflection of how electricity prices are made up for the end user. Community is a huge part of our business also, currently your corporate retailers take their $100 million dollar profits and distribute to shareholders. We want to re-invest in local people, sports and community groups and are already have local organisations involved. Our new customers are encouraged to nominate a club or organisation and once they meet our community criteria, we will implement ongoing sponsorship.

Your one-stop-tyre shop Neumanns Tyres

The façade and buildings might be new, but Neumanns Tyres is a company with a long history keen to honour its humble origins and proud to be locally owned and operated. Len and Kath Neumann started the family business in 1945, working hard to make it a success. It was a work ethic passed on to their sons, who played amongst the tyres and did small jobs for their parents as boys. As adults, they have grown the Ashburton operation 10-fold and added interests in tyre sales and servicing outlets around the South Island. Alan and Ian have worked a combined total of over 70 years in the business, a trade they were born into. Neumanns has won awards for its support and service to the rural community. The company is proud of its history and has loyal customers and staff because of its family rather than corporate philosophy. Its unwavering motto is to fit the right tyre, on the right rim, at the right pressure, at the right price, doing the

right job. A long-term vision is to keep family members involved in the business, keeping it locally owned and operated, while providing life-time jobs for long-serving and loyal staff. The company’s staff is what makes the business special. Neumanns’ operations have grown over the years meaning greater buying power with their suppliers, and in

turn, offering discounts to valued customers. Neumanns bought a Tyre General retail outlet in Christchurch, Amberley and a tyre retreading plant in Christchurch, purchased and set up a Tyre General outlet in Temuka and Washdyke and went on to have interests in Invercargill, Cromwell, Alexandra, Motueka, Blenheim and Nelson through Tyre Retreaders.

Striking up long-lasting service relationships with major transport companies and contractors and becoming a supplier to the Ashburton Trading Society also helped keep the company trending upwards. Being involved in the community is also important for Neumanns Tyres. For all your tyre requirements, think Neumanns Tyres – they’ll take care of you.

Mollie Gibson and her New Zealand quad crew training on Lake Karapiro ahead of the World Rowing Junior Championships in the Czech Republic.

Czech-mates

BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

Ashburton’s Mollie Gibson is about to embark on the biggest adventure of her young rowing career to date. Tomorrow she’ll board a plane with 19 other budding young Kiwi rowing stars, bound for the Czech Republic, where the World Rowing Junior Championships awaits them. For 16-year-old Gibson, it’s a huge opportunity. It will be her first time competing on the world rowing stage, and although she can’t wait, she admits the nerves are starting to build. Gibson will race in the girls’ quad. She’s the boat’s stroke – the one who sets the pace – and after seven weeks in camp at Lake Karapiro in the Waikato preparing themselves for what lies ahead, the crew know each other well and have become good friends, Gibson said. Just how they’ll fare against the world’s best though is hard to

gauge at the moment. All they’ve been able to do is prepare the best they can and hope they’ve done enough. “It’s hard to tell because we have no idea what the other countries are going to be like,” Gibson said. “But everyone’s goal is to win, I guess.” A Year 12 student at Ashburton College, being in camp for seven weeks in the Waikato hasn’t meant Gibson has missed out on school work in what is a vital schooling year in determining a student’s future plans. Six days a week, the young rowers have been getting up at 5.15am, to start training at 6am, and on school days returning at about 9am to get ready to head to school. For the past seven weeks, Gibson’s school has been St Peter’s in Cambridge. But there’s been no classes. Gibson and her fellow school-aged New Zealand reps have been setting up camp in the school’s li-

brary and completing work set out for them by their own teachers, before heading back to training again at 3pm. It’s been hard, tiring work. “A lot of people fall asleep at school,” Gibson said. Even she did, just the once. Being away from home and family for so long hasn’t been easy, with the rowers’ families allowed just one weekend visit, and the rowers allowed just one weekend at home. The Ashburton College school ball – which would have been Gibson’s first ball – fell while the camp was on but even if she’d wanted to make that her weekend at home, the rowers were not allowed to attend their school balls. “But that’s a small price to pay, I’d say,” Gibson said. Being a rower takes dedication. It means early starts and countless hours both on the water and in the gym. But all that work has been paying off for Gibson.

Up until now, the biggest rowing regattas she’s has attended have been Maadi Cups – the New Zealand secondary school rowing championships. At Maadi earlier this year she won gold in the under-18 double and quad, and the under-17 single, and bronze in the under-17 quad – performances that earned her a place in the 20-strong New Zealand team for the junior worlds. “The world champs are a lot smaller than the New Zealand secondary schools’, there’s only about 600 athletes I think go, compared to like 2200 at Maadi,” Gibson said. The worlds may be smaller, but Gibson knows it will be a lot harder on the water in the Czech Republic. She’s more than ready though. The seven weeks in camp have taught her a lot and she’s loved spending so much time on Lake Karapiro. “You can row for ages, just in

one direction, without having to turn around like at Lake Hood,” she said. Gibson is one of two Mid Canterbury rowers heading to the Czech Republic for the worlds, with Veronica Wall the other one. She’ll race in the single, while her dad – Ashburton rowing coach Justin Wall – is the coach for both the single and the quad. Gibson said it has been great having a coach she knows so well coaching her in the New Zealand boat. At just 16, Gibson is the second youngest member of the New Zealand team, and she has one more year where she’ll be eligible for the junior worlds. But she’s not getting ahead of herself. This year’s worlds are yet to come – they begin on August 8 – and Gibson plans on giving it her absolute all in the hope of becoming the latest in a long line of New Zealand rowers to medal on the world stage.

Cup Final berth awaits BY ERIN TASKER

ERIN.T@THEGUARDIAN.CO.NZ

When a spot in a final is on the line, you’re almost guaranteed a cracker game of rugby. And when those two teams fighting it out for that spot in the final have played out a screamer of a match a week prior, the prospect becomes even more enticing. That’s what awaits Mid Canterbury rugby fans today when Southern host Rakaia in a match to decide who will take on Celtic in the final of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s showpiece, the Watters Cup. Celtic beat Methven to leapfrog the previously unbeaten Southern and finish top of the table, sending them straight to the final for the first time since 2012 and giving them this weekend off, leaving second placed Southern and third placed Rakaia to fight it out for the second spot in the final. It will be just a week on from the last meeting between the two sides, which was full of feeling, flair and drama. Defending champion Southern led at halftime last week, but Rakaia ran rampant in the second half to win 48-24 and set up a mouth-watering rematch. Southern coach Andrew Carr said both sides would go into the clash knowing what to expect.

“We are not scared of them, we will be coming out again for a good crack,” Carr said. “It’s pretty simple – if we win we have another week, if we lose we are out.” Carr said his side needed to look at where things went wrong last week and work out how to fix those things today. “Obviously we have got to look after the ball better, and we didn’t stick to our structure and our game plan,” Carr said. “We have got to look at ourselves and the reason why that didn’t happen.” Had they won last weekend, Southern would have had today off, progressing straight to the final. Rakaia on the other hand headed into that match knowing that if they lost, and if Methven upset Celtic, Rakaia would potentially miss out on the finals altogether. “At the end of the day they had more to play for and that’s probably how they got the result,” Carr said. Rakaia coach Wayne Foxcroft said his side’s true potential finally shone through against Southern last weekend. “We knew we were capable of doing it, we just needed to stick to our structure and our plan and hold onto the ball,” he said. “It’s always been there, to do that, to play to our potential with the players we have got out there.” But putting that complete performance together hadn’t been easy this season. Rakaia had performed the best

out of Mid Canterbury’s five teams in the season opening combined competition, making the final against Waihora – which they lost – but they had struggled in the Watters Cup, only narrowly beating Hampstead and Methven, and losing to Celtic. Foxcroft said while his side’s second half performance against Southern last weekend was pleasing, they knew they’d have their work cut out for them in the rematch and had gone back to the drawing board this week to work out where Southern’s strengths and weaknesses were, and how they could put their own full 80-minute performance together. “If we play like we did in that second half, they will struggle to keep up,” Foxcroft said. The two line-ups for the rematch were unlikely to be the same as the week prior. Carr said a number of injuries picked up in last weekend’s game meant his side would have to dig deep into their playing stocks for today’s game. Southern had included four players from their B side on the bench, who would play for the Bs in Ashburton first and not arrive at Hinds until after kickoff. Rakaia’s Seta Koroitamana and Southern’s Ryan Williams faced the judiciary this week and were both handed a twoweek stand-down.

Canes up against it By Christopher reive Hurricanes coach Chris Boyd isn’t sugar-coating the size of the task his side face in their Super Rugby semi-final against the Crusaders. The Southerners have never lost a home semi-final in the 20year history of the competition, and haven’t lost at home since July 2016; or, as a Hurricanes fan might put it, the Crusaders are overdue a loss on their own turf. Speaking to Radio Sport’s D’Arcy Waldegrave, Boyd said his side knew history wasn’t on their side for this weekend. “That’s a mountain for us but at the end of the day we’ve got to accept the challenge of the mountain and go climbing,” Boyd said. “They’re a tough nut to crack at any time, but when they’re at full strength, at home, in the playoffs, she’s a real tough nut.” The match shapes up with the potential to be the game of the season, with both sides fielding formidable lineups. While many fans anticipate the match up of first five-eighths Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo’unga to be the key, there are a number of areas when the match could be decided. The midfield battle between Hurricanes duo Ngani Laumape and Jordie Barrett and their counterparts Ryan Crotty and Jack Goodhue could be the difference-maker. The four All Blacks will go head to head in a position where they are likely to be tested for the full 80 minutes. The Crusaders showed their proficiency in attacking through the midfield in their quarter-final against the Sharks, and the Hurricanes pair will have to be alert

The Crusaders will be hoping to be a happy bunch at the end of 80 minutes at AMI Stadium tonight.

on the defensive end. A similar case can be made for Laumape, though. Three weeks removed from a four-try night against the Blues, expect the Hurricanes to give him a fair share of the football. But it might just be the execution at set pieces, and settling for penalty goals, that decides the match. The Hurricanes have been strong scrummagers all season; if they’ve fed the scrum, they’ve come away with the ball.

However they have the sixthworst success rate on their own lineout. The Crusaders have been only slightly better at lineout time, but slightly worse at scrum time. It will pay for both teams to consider taking the three points when they’re on offer. Like all Kiwi derbies, the physicality will jump up a notch and the down time while a shot at goal is taken will provide the players a chance to catch their breath.

But it could also make the difference on the score sheet. The two sides were the best defensively during the regular season. The difference between their average points allowed? Three. The Hurricanes allowed 21 points per game on average to the Crusaders’ 18. It shapes up to be a stingy exchange, and points scored from the tee could decide the fixture. - NZME

Punters’ guide to the Super Rugby semis The penultimate weekend of the 2018 Super Rugby competition is upon us. Here’s what the TAB are saying about the semi-finals.

Best bet:

Lions v Waratahs Points Start: Lions -9.5 ($1.87) The Lions were clinical in their 40-23 win over the Jaguares in the quarter-finals and there’s no reason to believe they won’t put in a similar performance this weekend. They beat the Waratahs 29-0 in Sydney earlier this season and when you take into account the travel that the ‘Tahs have to deal with, as well as the brilliant form of Malcolm Marx and the Lions forwards in general, a comfortable Lions win looks to be on the cards.

Next best:

Crusaders v Hurricanes Winning Team & Margin: Crusaders 12 & Under ($2.75)

It’s hard to see the Crusaders losing at home this weekend, especially considering their record of 18 consecutive wins at home. All of the previous 11 Super Rugby semi-finals that have been NZ derbies have been won by the home side and all four of the previous Crusaders v Canes clashes have been won by the hosting team by 12 points or less. All of this information points to a Crusaders 12 & Under win.

Best roughie:

Lions v Waratahs Head to Head: Waratahs ($3.50) The Waratahs have won their last two games on the road and while they are not likely to win this clash, they do have a fair chance. Kurtley Beale has picked up his form since the international break and Will Miller has stepped up admirably in Michael Hooper’s absence to contribute to a well-firing loose forward trio. They were unstoppable while

Kurtley Beale will be out to inspire the Waratahs against the Lions tomorrow morning. up a man last week and can’t be written off going into Sunday morning’s encounter.

Best real wide:

Crusaders v Hurricanes

Halftime Result/Winning Team & Margin: Hurricanes/Crusaders 1-12 The Hurricanes undoubtedly have the class and talent to kick it with the Crusaders and the weather forecast predicts a fine Christchurch evening. When the Hurricanes lost 2413 in Christchurch they were dominated in the second forty but trailed by just one point going into the sheds. With the weather looking to be more favourable for the expansive-playing Canes on Saturday, they are a good chance of taking a lead into the break before a Crusaders 1-12 win. Multi Crusaders 12 & Under/Lions -9.5 The best and next best bets outlined above would provide odds of $5.15 when included in a Multi. Worth a punt for two bets that all the trends point to. - NZME

Bledisloe is looming for ABs Test rugby is sneaking up fast. Although the immediate focus is on the Super Rugby semi-finals, it’s only three weeks until the All Blacks start their Bledisloe Cup defence. Coach Steve Hansen will be grateful more of his test men get a rest after the Crusaders-Hurricanes semi-final today but he’ll have some concerns about sharpening others whose teams have fallen by the wayside. Rieko Ioane and Sonny Bill Williams have not been sighted through the playoffs after the Blues’ woes while Sam Cane looked sluggish in his return from injury, Karl Tu’inukuafe needs footy and Joe Moody is damaged. That’s just for starters. Half a dozen automatic All Blacks are playing in Christchurch but the rest are on gym, fitness and rehab programmes designed to get them primed for the August 18 start to the Bledisloe in Sydney. That has to lift the apprehension levels alongside the improved work of the Wallabies in their absorbing series against Ireland. The All Blacks regained the Bledisloe Cup in 2003 and have held it since. They confirmed that supremacy last season with a huge win in Sydney then a gritty repeat in Dunedin before they were beaten in Brisbane. Any talk of a dead rubber does not wash with the All Blacks. They were not up to it on the night while the Wallabies brought a more cohesive edge to their approach and inflicted the last defeat on the No.1 side in the world. It was a season when the All Blacks struggled to find their best rhythm with two losses and a draw in 14 tests. However, the upside was they used a dozen new faces and added significantly to their understanding of those players with their grasp on rugby at the highest level and added another layer to their deep pool of talent. Even more made the cut in June – Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi, Jordan Taufua, Shannon Frizell, Tu’inukuafe and Jackson Hemopo – to give the All Black selectors more detail to place alongside their instincts. They’ve all been in camps and know what the coaches expect and how they have planned their season structures. Difficult choices will be in areas such as fullback where the questions are about whether Ben Smith brings his best form or whether he has to shift so Jordie Barrett can play. The anticipated return of captain Kieran Read is massive. No one comes close to his range of play when he is cracking out his best. He’s looked fine in his return after surgery but a recurrence of some wrist trouble was a warning about relying totally on the skipper. Settling on a compelling understudy will be high on the selectors’ wish list before the Bledisloe Cup starts. - NZME

In brief Netball coach on attack England netball coach Tracey Neville has questioned why Gareth Southgate’s pay will rise to nearly $9 million for England’s World Cup success against lesser football nations while her own players achieved far more by winning Commonwealth Games gold. In a strong critique of gender pay inequality in sport, Neville pointed out that Southgate’s team had not beaten any of the world’s elite countries. “When you look at the results of that competition, he wasn’t beating one to six rankings of the competition,” she said. - PA

Ordinarily, Lord’s dress code for men states: “Gentlemen shall wear lounge suits or tailored jacket and trousers, shirt, tie or cravat and shoes with socks.” Women must wear: “dresses; or skirts or trousers or culottes, with blouses or smart tops, and formal shoes, boots or sandals.” - PA

Hampstead holds off Celtic B By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

Hampstead A were narrow winners while Celtic A and College A notched up convincing wins when Mid Canterbury Netball’s ACL premier one competition returned to the court after a two week break on Thursday night. The results meant that after the second games of the third and final round of the competition, Celtic A had added two wins on to their unbeaten run this season, while Methven A, Hampstead A, College A and Mt Somers all had one win each, and competition newcomers Celtic B were yet to record a win. Promoted up from premier two after beating the bottom team in premier one after two full rounds – United A – in a promotion/relegation match, Celtic B had looked far from out of place in the top flight though. Leading for most of the way in their first match again Mt Somers, Celtic B tripped up right at the end and lost, and they were also leading Hampstead A heading into the final quarter of the second match on Thursday night. Hampstead A led 6-3 at the first quarter break, but Celtic B fought their way back in the second quarter to lead 13-11 at half-time, and they still held a narrow twogoal advantage at three-quarter time, 19-17.

Hampstead A came out fighting in the third though and scored the opening four goals to go ahead 21-19. Celtic B brought it back level again at 23-all, but Hampstead capitalised on a couple of late turnovers to win it 25-23. Hampstead A coach Janene McDowell said her side had to

do it,” McDowell said. One team that did let it rip on Thursday night was Celtic A, running away to a 33-23 victory over Methven A. Celtic A led 7-4 at quarter time and went on to extend their lead at every break, up 15-8 at quartertime, and 26-14 at three-quartertime, although Methven A man-

aged to win the final quarter. Methven shooter Leanne Clemens had a strong night and did her best to keep her side in the game, but the Methven attacking end were up against the experienced defensive Celtic A duo of Gina Woodhouse and Anna Holland who pounced on any loose ball. Methven A coach Maree Firth said Celtic A came out strong and shut down her side’s attacking game, playing a great all-round game, but she was proud of the way Methven A fought back to win the final quarter. College A also produced one of

their better performances, blowing Mt Somers away 38-21. College A lost by one goal the last time the two sides met, but on Thursday night they got out to an early 10-4 lead at the first break. They had extended that to 2110 at half-time, and at 31-15 at three-quarter time the game was theirs. For College A it was the perfect way to bounce back from a heavy defeat in their SuperNet game in Christchurch on Wednesday night. They took on Christchurch Girls’ High School in their first game of the second round of Canterbury secondary schools’ netball competition and lost 4219. College A coach Kaye Kennedy said CGHS had two shooters who just didn’t miss, so there were few chances for rebounds. “But we didn’t score off our centre pass enough,” Kennedy said. In the ACL premier two competition, United A continued their fine form following the relegation to the second tier competition with a 42-13 win over Celtic C, while Southern A were also big winners, downing Methven B 3913. The night’s final game was won by Ashburton College B, 43-32 over Rakaia A.

Lifters going head to head By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

A weightlifting competition with a twist is coming to Ashburton this weekend. The 2018 Head 2 Head weightlifting event, which would be held at the Ashburton Domain pavilion on Walnut Avenue tomorrow, challenged competitors to lift under fatigue. Before their lift, competitors had to do what they called a buyin – which could be something like burpees over the bar – ensuring that their heart rates were elevated and their bodies were tired before they attempted their snatch, or clean and jerk. Who finished on the podium all came down to percentages rather than weight. Athletes competed with each other on a percentage of their personal record, as opposed to absolute weight, meaning a 55kg woman lifting 50kg could beat a 100kg man lifting 100kg.

The series was being held between Crossfit Ashburton and Franks Brothers Crossfit in Christchurch – a gym founded by All Blacks brothers Ben and Owen Franks. The first round of the Head 2 Head was held at Franks Montreal in Christchurch on June 24, with round two taking place in Ashburton on Sunday, before the competition headed back to Franks Montreal on August 6. A team challenge would be held later, on September 16. Crossfit Ashburton manager Kate Shaw said four people would be on the platforms at once tomorrow, all doing the same buyin workout and then lifting to the best of their ability within a time limitation. Bronze medallist from the 2002 Manchester Commonwealth Games, Terry Hughes, was the man behind the competition. Hughes ran weightlifting tuition through Franks Brothers and

started the Head 2 Head as way to get beginners into the sport. Many of the Ashburton lifters taking part tomorrow would be competing for the first time. Shaw said Head 2 Head was basically weightlifting, with elements of Crossfit added in as an extra challenge. She said Crossfit wasn’t just about getting fit and losing weight, it was about keeping mobile for as long as you could. “It’s more than just the crazy sport you see on TV,” she said. Shaw joined when her now five-year-old daughter was about eight months old and had since lost 42kg. At the start she said she was “this shy little person hiding down the back of the gym”, but today she was a Crossfit coach and the Ashburton gym’s manager. Last year she entered her first Head 2 Head series and came away with a bronze medal in the novice category.

This year she’d moved up to the intermediate category. An experienced category would also be contested on Sunday. That bronze medal, or becoming a coach and gym manager weren’t things that Shaw ever imagined she’d end up achieving the first day she walked into Crossfit Ashburton. She just wanted to change her life for the better, after realising she couldn’t walk up the stairs to her first-floor office without getting puffed. “I always say to people when they walk in the door and say they can’t do it, that they can do it. I weighed 100kg, you can do it,” she said. The Head 2 Head series was also a fundraiser, with this year’s beneficiary being Plunket. Spectators were welcome tomorrow, with competition to get under way at 9am at the Ashburton Domain pavilion on Walnut Avenue.

With the business end of the Mid/ South Canterbury senior hockey competitions drawing near, Mid Canterbury teams are leading the way. In the men’s competition Wakanui were at the top of the table, while in the women’s competition it was Hampstead at the front of the pack. But neither team were getting too far ahead of themselves, knowing that whatever happened in the round robin meant nothing if you didn’t win the final couple of games of the season. Hampstead had not been beaten so far this season, although they’d been held to draws twice by Geraldine, and today they were set to face the team second to them on the table, Cambridge. A win in either of their final two round robin matches should seal Hampstead a home semi-final, but they knew they’d have their work cut out for them against Cambridge today. Wakanui are also expecting a battle when they take on Oamaru’s Tainui in Timaru. Wakanui’s opposition in the final two rounds are the bottom two teams in the competition, but they were taking nothing for granted. Wakanui were held to a draw by Temuka – the team currently second on the table – last weekend and had to claw back a two-goal deficit to earn that draw. If Wakanui could hold on to top spot at the end of the round robin they’d take home the McCosker Trophy, with the Walker and Hall Shield awaiting the winner at the conclusion of the competition’s finals. Last season, Wakanui finished fifth on the table – or last – heading into the finals but produced a couple of upsets to finish third overall. All three of Mid Canterbury’s senior hockey teams head to Timaru to play today, with Hampstead set to take on Cambridge in the women’s competition at 3.20pm. Mid Canterbury’s second women’s team – Hampstead/Collegians – were well down the points table heading into the final couple of matches of the round and they take on Geraldine in today’s opening game in Timaru at midday. The Wakanui men would take to the turf against Tainui at 1.40pm.

Promoter forced to put his money where his mouth is David Higgins has been goaded into making a bet of nearly $40,000 on the outcome of the fight between Joseph Parker and Dillian Whyte. Higgins and rival promoter Eddie Hearn were convinced by heavyweight Dereck Chisora, an Englishman fighting on the undercard, to make the bet on the

fight at the O2 Arena on Sunday morning and the pair eventually settled on £20,000 after initially being told to bet £100,000. Chisora, who lost to Whyte in a contentious split decision in Manchester in 2016, provided most of the entertainment at the end of the 30-minute official press conference attended by

more than 100 journalists at a Canary Wharf hotel when he said: “I think Eddie and this guy, you guys should have a bet, a £100,000 bet. You guys should shake on it right now.” To laughter from the audience, Higgins replied: “I don’t have 100,000 grand.” Hearn, who is also Anthony

Joshua’s promoter and isn’t short of a few quid, asked Chisora: “I want to know who you’re backing in this fight. Who would you put your money on?”, to which the fellow Englishman said: “I’m a bornagain [Christian], I don’t gamble.” He added, in a masterful display of persuasion and pressure: “Don’t go red now, you’re giving all

the big talk. Come on. Have a bet. Twenty grand. Shake on it.” The cheers and applause, Hearn and Higgins did shake on it. Parker is the favourite to beat Whyte, who like the Kiwi has also lost to Joshua. The fight at the sold-out O2 Arena will be screened live on pay per view from 5am on Sunday.- NZME

Focus on Group One carnival An outing at Awapuni today will serve as a means to an end for quality galloper Dolcetto. Part-owner and trainer Sylvia Kay has acknowledged that the Fasttrack Insurance Handicap (1200m) isn’t an ideal opportunity for the Per Incanto gelding, but it will serve to further a Group One preparation for the five-year-old. “He’s very well and feeling good, but how he will cope with the heavy track there is something we have to find out,” she said. “We have to go somewhere to get him ready for the spring races when the tracks will be more to his liking. “We’ve got to have him super fit for the races at Hastings.” Kay is keen for Dolcetto to step out in each of the Triple Crown events – the Gr.1 Tarzino Trophy (1400m), the Gr.1 Windsor Park Plate (1600m) and the Gr.1 Livamol Classic (2040m). The winner of the Gr.3 Boehringer Metric Mile (1600m) last preparation, Dolcetto resumed with a last-start fourth at Trentham behind the subsequent dual stakes winner New York Minute. “It would be hopeless running him again with 60kg so I’ve put young Sam (O’Malley) on him to claim so that will help a bit,” Kaye said. “The horse has done a lot of

Sista Act was scratched from a suitable three-year-old race last week when she drew wide to run in the Xplore Resources Plate (1200m) on Saturday. Birchley has a policy of not starting horses from outside barrier six at Doomben unless absolutely necessary. - AAP

Bowman a boost for Hiflyer Multiple stakes winner Hiflyer will have one more hit-out in Australia in the Listed Winter Challenge (1500m) at Rosehill today before returning to New Zealand to tackle feature spring races at Hastings. The Peter Lock-trained fiveyear-old has just had the one start in Australia this campaign where he ran fourth in the Listed Winter Stakes (1400m) at the same venue. “The race wasn’t probably run to suit him,” Lock said. “He had an awkward draw (barrier 1), which didn’t help him. We had to ride him a little more forward than his normal pattern of racing and he stuck on well for fourth.” Lock is excited to have secured the services of leading jockey Hugh Bowman and is happy with the Tavistock gelding heading into today, but does have concerns about the race distance. “That’s a huge bonus for us to have him on, we are very lucky to get hold of him,” Lock said. “The 1500m distance is still a question mark, we would like to be going a little further, but he has definitely improved on his run from the other day. “He looks lovely and bright and

I’m very happy with him going into the race.” Lock said he has used this campaign as a test-run for the spring, when he hopes to return to tackle feature races with Hiflyer. “We are hoping to come back for races like the Toorak later on. “We’ll go home and tackle a few nice races and if he comes up and does things right at home then we’ll come back over later in the spring with the nicer races around then. “He’s done everything right so far, it’s taken him a little while to settle in here and start on the different feed we have over here. “We’re hoping for bigger and better things this Saturday and if it doesn’t eventuate then we will probably be heading home after the weekend and tackle some nice races at Hastings.” Meanwhile, stablemate Mr Luigi has been retired after pulling up lame after tailing the field home in the Australian Turf Club Handicap (1400m) at Randwick last Saturday.) “Mr Luigi pulled up a little lame on Saturday after his race and he’s been retired,” Lock said. “Unfortunately he has done a little bit of damage to a tendon, so we have retired him.” - NZME

Hiflyer has an appointment at Rosehill today, before heading home to tackle the big spring features at Hastings.

Qualifier for Lazarus Champion New Zealand pacer Lazarus will contest a qualifier at The Meadowlands in New Jersey on Sunday morning (NZ time). After an impressive private trial on that track last week for his new trainer Jimmy Takter, the decision has been made to push the button on the next stage of his preparation. “I’m thrilled with how the horse worked on his own and he paced the mile as a schooling exercise in 1.51.2,” he told local media after the workout. Takter will get a good line on Lazarus in the qualifier as he is down to race crack three-yearold colt Lather Up, winner of last month’s $1 Million North America Cup. Lazarus, the third-richest Down Under pacer of all time, with over $3.8 million in earnings, was sold to the Kentucky-based Taylor Made Stallions in April. He won 35 of 45 starts for previous trainers Mark Purdon and Natalie Rasmussen, including two New Zealand Cups, a Victoria Cup and the Inter Dominion Grand Final in Perth.

In brief Easy points for Baabaas The Ashburton Barbarians have picked up easy points without having to even take to the field this weekend. They were due to head to Christchurch to take on Marist Saints Gold in the Canterbury Rugby League division one competition, but Marist had been hit by injuries and have been forced to default. The Barbarians played Marist Saints Green in their last game two weeks ago and won 38-10, but had last weekend off. Three teams have had to pull out of the competition in recent weeks due to injuries and low numbers. The Barbarians will now finish the round robin side of the competition at home next weekend to the Shirley Hawks.

Warriors set to peak

History repeats on the bowling mats The annual Methven Indoor Bowls open triples tournament took a walk down memory lane on Thursday night at the McNally Street Indoor Bowls Stadium. The tournament was first competed for 33 years ago, and Willowby player Murray Bassett

(centre) featured in the winning team of the tournament. On Thursday night, more than three decades after winning the inaugural running of the tournament, Bassett won it again, this time which his son, Mat (right) and Willowby clubmate,

Neill Chapman (left). The trio enjoyed four wins from their four matches with 104 points, to finish clear winners over Russell Ellis, Kevin Smith and Peter Guilford on 98. Twenty teams entered in the tournament.

Meanwhile, today 27 representative players will head to Timaru to compete in the annual Walter Strang Memorial Quadrangular tournament, where they will be up against sides from South Canterbury, North Otago and Otago.

More titles in store By Erin TaskEr

Erin.t@thEguardian.co.nz

With championship titles in the bag, two Mid Canterbury teams now have their sights set on adding Mainland Football cup titles to their names. For both of those teams those bids begin today, in Ashburton and Methven. In Mainland Football’s men’s division two competition, Mid Canterbury United had not been beaten all season and won the round robin championship title in a canter, and now the division two teams are heading into a knock-out cup competition. A week after beating the Burnham FC Bobcats 9-3 in the final round of the championship competition, Mid Canterbury United were set to host Hornby United AFC in their first cup match at the Ashburton Domain today at 2.30pm and if recent form was anything to go on, they should add yet another win to what had been a stellar season. Mid Canterbury United fin-

ished the championship competition with a goal difference of 61, thanks to 75 goals for and just 14 against, and earned themselves

promotion to the Mainland Football division one competition next season. Also looking to step up in the

2019 season will be Methven FC Senior A, after winning the Mainland Football division four competition. They have also had a standout season, losing just one game on the way to the division championship win, and earning themselves promotion to Mainland Football’s division three competition. The club hoped that was just the start, with dreams of Methven having a division one team within the next five years. Having won the division two championship, they were the top ranked team heading into the division four knock out competition, and they will take on Selwyn United FC’s B team at the Methven Domain today at 2.30pm. Meanwhile, in the Mainland Football 17th grade division one competition, Mid Canterbury United’s 17th grade side is also at home today, against FC Twenty 11 17 Red at 12.30pm at the Ashburton Domain.

Shaun Johnson believes the Warriors are ready to peak, as the NRL season reaches a climax. The halfback also feels that their progress so far in 2018 has changed the perception of the club, from nearly men to genuine contenders. The Warriors are well positioned to make a finals push, sitting in eighth place, and four points ahead of the chasing pack. But the team’s form has wavered over the last month, dropping three of their past four games. It means the Warriors may face a tense few weeks, which might undo the solid platform established earlier this season. - NZME

Bennett lauds Milford Years of hard work is finally paying off for Anthony Milford after Wayne Bennett toasted the Brisbane five-eighth’s “outstanding” effort in their NRL win over Cronulla. The Broncos playmaker’s usually maligned kicking game came to life in the 12-10 victory at Suncorp, helping Brisbane clinch their seventh win in nine games and move up one spot to sixth on the ladder. Brisbane mentor Bennett has been reluctant to heap praise on his halves in the past but was quick to throw his support behind Milford. - AAP

Flanagan pans referees Another round, another NRL bunker controversy. Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has ensured officials will come under scrutiny for yet another week after claiming the refereeing was “not up to scratch” in their 12-10 loss to Brisbane. Asked at the start of the postmatch press conference where the game was lost, Flanagan said “with a couple of decisions in my book”. His biggest gripe was the bunker’s decision to not award a 26th minute try to centre Ricky Leutele. - AAP

Storm surprise Bellamy Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy admits he’s astounded his team is at the top of the NRL ladder with the finals looming. Before their round 20 clash with Canberra at AAMI Park tonight, Bellamy says he’s not sure the reigning champions “deserve” to be the front runners. “I’m as surprised as anyone and I don’t know whether we deserve to be up there but it’s been that sort of competition this year,” Bellamy said yesterday. “It’s ebbed and flowed and teams have ebbed and flowed and I don’t think there’s been any real stand-out teams”. - AAP

No-one should have to choose. Imagine being forced to choose between providing food, warmth and shelter for you and your family. Sadly, this is a decision that thousands of Kiwi families living in poverty are forced to make each winter—whether to feed their children at the expense of paying a power bill, or to miss a rent payment—falling further into crippling debt so a family member can visit a doctor. Winter is one of the busiest times of the year for The Salvation Army and we want every Kiwi to have enough—to make it through a tough winter and the winters beyond. Because no-one should have to choose. Last year we helped thousands of families and individuals in need over the cold winter months, with all signs this winter pointing to an even busier time of year for those in poverty.

Supporting the Winter Appeal can be as easy as giving a gift to a family when they need it most; from an emergency food parcel or practical aid package of bedding and clothing, to long-term support such as budgeting sessions, counselling support and expert social care. Please support our Winter Appeal today and help ensure that those in need can get the basics of food, warmth and shelter.

Public Notice

- Final proposal for Representation Arrangements for the 2019 Local Elections On 26 July 2018, Ashburton District Council considered the submissions received on its initial proposal regarding the representation arrangements and resolved that the following proposal apply for the Council and its constituent Community Board for the local elections to be held on 12 October 2019. Council received 34 submissions on its proposal. Twenty-two submissions were in favour of the Council’s proposal. Twelve submissions contained objections to various elements of the proposal, as follows: • Eleven submitters opposed the reduction in the number of Councillors from 12 to 9 • One submitter opposed the reduction in the number of Councillors in the Eastern Ward. Council deliberated on the comments and matters raised in each submission, taking into consideration the objections to the proposed reduction in the number of councillors. Council determined that there is no rationale to support amending the proposal and that the district will remain well represented with nine councillors. Accordingly, Council resolved to adopt its initial proposal as the Council’s final proposal, unchanged. Therefore the final proposal is as follows: Council Representation • Council will comprise nine (9) members elected from three wards, and the Mayor. • The three wards reflect the following identified communities of interest: Ashburton Ward: the areas around and including Ashburton town and the area of Lake Hood which are serviced or have the potential to be serviced in the medium future. Eastern Ward: the seaward portion of the rural area. Western Ward: the inland portion of the rural area. • The population that each member will represent is: Ward Ashburton Ward Eastern Ward Western Ward TOTAL

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your intuition is spot on today – not because you can see the future but because you can make the future. You’ve a sense about what’s possible and how much work it will take. You do it until it’s done. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): A weak teacher will tell you the reason you didn’t succeed in the class is that you didn’t work hard enough. A strong teacher makes you want to work hard and considers your success a joint mission. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): In order to fit into the group agenda, you might have to compromise on your approach, plan or product, but you shouldn’t have to compromise who you are. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll be invigorated by people working together to accomplish a common goal, especially if the goal has something to do with improving themselves or improving the world through kindness. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Ask yourself questions that will help you get clear about what you want to accomplish. Then the “how” won’t matter so much. As you focus on the effect you want to have, the details work themselves out. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): There’s a pleasant (not outrageous or startling) surprise in this day just for you, a little something to make your ride smoother and your smile wider. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): To get more problems, obsess about all the problems you already have. To get fewer problems, focus on just one problem and solve it. Then move to the next. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Even though you know better than to get “attached to an outcome,” for better or worse, you’re invested in what happens next. It just happens that way when you love something this much. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Life doesn’t always fall into a lovely pattern; sometimes it has to be forced into one. Actually, the forcing usually only works for a short term. Better to toy around and find something that fits. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Every time you introduce a new variable, things change. One person alters the whole group, and indeed every person is the “one” person who does this. So don’t discount your contribution, even in very large gatherings. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): This is an excellent time to look at your expenses and cut the subscriptions and recurring payments that go to things you don’t really use. It will bring your finances and more back into balance without a sense of sacrifice. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Even though your reflexes are superior, you’d rather live proactively so that you’re not in a reactive position. Tonight brings a hint that will help with the mystery you’ve been trying to solve.
