Heartfelt challenge triumph Padertova completes South Island fundraising walk Barbora Padertova (right) will always remember 6pm on Monday. That’s when her fundraising walk throughout the South Island ended in Bluff. Apart from a couple of breaks at Hanmer Springs and Methven, Barbora completed the journey in 68 days. “Finishing the walk is hard to describe,” she said. “It’ll take days before the feeling sinks in. “I had a chill all over my body.” She described her journey as like reading a good book. You want to finish it, but you don’t want it to end. Barbora, who’s the food and
beverage team leader at Mount Hutt Skifield, loves mountains and tramping. When she met Methven’s Becky Dirks, whose son, David, requires serious heart surgery, she decided to walk the length of the South Island to raise funds. The walk began in Picton on February 10 and she said the last few days in Southland were cold and muddy. “It was a challenge walking in harsh weather.’’ Barbora, 31, is delighted she’s raised nearly $2500 for Becky’s family and Heart Kids Canterbury, and she’s keeping the Givealittle page open until the end of May.

Water meter proposal splits public By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz
A $5 million proposal to install water meters around the district has polarised a community eager to put pen to paper. An initial inspection of public submissions to the Ashburton District Council’s Long Term Plan (LTP) suggests about half of the community remain unconvinced on the project. A plan to install water meters has been one of council’s main
areas of focus during LTP discussions with the community, alongside funding blueprints for elderly housing. Public submissions closed on Monday. Council confirmed more than 424 submissions had been processed, more than double for the corresponding consultation period in 2018. “Once the processing work has been completed, a report showing actuals within each topic of interest will be made available,” business support group manager
Paul Brake said. A $5.17 million move to install meters over a three-year period has been favoured by council, with the scheme to cost ratepayers up to $48.60 in the third year of the plan. An option to spread the project over a one-year period has also been tabled, alongside a move to desert the idea altogether. A sample size of about 70 submissions indicated public opinion on the move was split down the middle, between those who backed council and those who
believed the move was unnecessary. A total of 65 submitters had so far requested to speak on their submission at a May 11 hearing. Submitters also jumped at the opportunity to speak on the second Ashburton bridge debate. Council have claimed a loss of up to 50 per cent of drinking water due to leaks in its infrastructure, although have admitted there has been an element of guesswork in its analysis. “Water leaks are costing us,” the LTP consultation document
said. “At the moment, estimating our water loss is a calculation which includes many assumptions. “We don’t know how accurate this is.” The meters would be debt funded with the arrears to be paid back across 10 years by properties connected to a council drinking water supply. The installation of meters would help identify how much water is being lost from the public network more accurately, council have said.
Council ‘confident’ in speed limit overhaul By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz
A raft of changes to speed limits on busy Mid Canterbury roads should address community concerns, council says. A total of 50 roads will undergo revised speed limits later this month, following a council-led review which raised questions around dozens of roads on the outskirts of the district’s towns. It is the second round of changes following the Speed Limit Review with roads in Tinwald, Fairton, Mt Somers, Mayfield, Methven and the Ashburton Business Estate areas adjusted in December. It is the first roading overhaul of its nature in almost a decade. The Ashburton District Council confirmed roads across Ashburton, Lake Hood, Lauriston and at Lakes Camp/Clearwater would be impacted by the changes. “With the help of residents, we were able to identify areas where the limits just aren’t as safe as they should be anymore. “These new speeds will rectify that and help to ensure residents can get to their destination safe and sound.”
Council infrastructure support group manager Neil McCann was confident that the speed limit changes would address community concerns. “(We’re) satisfied with the first stage of the speed limit changes project. “Council continues to monitor vehicle speeds through the traffic count programme.” When asked if there was an element of complacency among motorists, council said that was a matter for police. “As the district continues to grow, traffic is increasing and therefore drivers need to be vigilant,” McCann said. “Intersections and roads in general are busier, wider heavier farm machinery are in use and trucks can now be over 60-tonne. “These factors require greater awareness from drivers.” Police had been invited by council to comment during the review process. When asked if police had involved themselves in discussions, McCann said police had recommended a 60km/h limit on Lake Hood Drive as opposed to the proposed 80km/h. The latest changes will come into effect on April 30.
Several speed limit changes will come into effect at Lake Hood at the end of the month. PHOTO ADAM BURNS 200421-AB-6163

Multiple fire crews and appliances from Methven and Mayfield assisted the Ashburton, Hinds and Willowby station teams in battling and then controlling the blaze.

A quick-thinking staff member and proactive fire crews combined to limit the devastation of a rural fire just out of Ashburton.

The Ashburton Salvation Army provided firefighters with food. Quigley did not have a full estimation of the cost of the damage, but he confirmed they had lost less than the 11,500 bales that Fenz had quoted. A third of that product was designated for export markets. The rest was to go to North and South Island customers. The company still has some spare hay and straw product that could be used to supplement the lost bales.
“We don’t see any shortage or knock-on effect to our local customers,” Quigley said. A Fenz spokesperson confirmed that crews were still working with a digger and loader to pull apart haystacks to make sure they were all fully extinguished. Fire crews were letting the fire burn out but were maintaining control to avoid any potential spread. “It takes a lot [of time] to extinguish [a fire] to our satisfaction,” a Fenz spokesperson said.

Installation of Luisetti Seeds’ new seed and cereal processing plant at Ashburton required highly-specialised technicians from Germany and Australia.
PHOTO SUPPLIED
Luisetti Seeds new seed line Luisetti Seeds’ new multi-million-dollar seed and cereal processing plant at Ashburton will be officially opened by the Minister of Agriculture Damien O’Connor on Tuesday. The Petkus plant is the biggest of its type outside of the United States and uses cutting-edge technology to process ryegrass, fescue, cocksfoot and cereals with minimal dressing losses and maximum efficiency. Significantly reduced dressing losses will benefit arable growers and the machine’s increased efficiency and capacity will ensure shipping deadlines for international and domestic seed customers are met. Operations director Vincent Luisetti said the Pektus machine represented a significant invest-
ment for Luisetti Seeds and will double the seed cleaning capacity at the company’s Ashburton site. “This cutting-edge machine reflects our belief in the importance of the arable industry and indeed agriculture – to the Canterbury and wider New Zealand economies. “It will benefit our growers and our customers by ensuring the crops that are processed through our plant are of the highest possible quality. “Our farmers do a fantastic job growing the crops and we can do justice to their skills, care and attention by using world-leading technology to process their seed and cereal crops.” The Mid and Central Canterbury seed industry is world-leading. The combination of rich
soils, reliable irrigation water and counter-seasonal production generates $329 million annually for the New Zealand economy. In 2019, seed exports were worth $260m. The area in seed production is 37,000 hectares (most of this in Canterbury) of which around 85,000 tonnes of seed is harvested annually. Ryegrass is central to the seed industry both for use domestically and for export. The Ministry for Primary Industries has assessed ryegrass to be worth $14.6 billion to the New Zealand economy. The Pektus plant is highly automated and incorporates cameras that enable production staff to view product flows and production remotely. Through wireless technology, the plant’s opera-
tion is supervised from Germany where Pektus technicians can fine-tune and adjust operations where required. It can also be operated remotely from Germany. A state-of-the-art dust collection and management system has also been purchased from Germany which will provide a pleasant, almost dust-free environment for operational staff. The plant also features specially designed clean-down facilities that both minimise clean-down times and eliminate any possibility of contamination between lines. To assemble the plant, Luisetti Seeds had to seek special visa exemptions from the Ministries of Agriculture and Immigration to allow highly-specialised technicians from Germany and Austral-
ia into the country in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The company has now employed an extra six people in its Ashburton branch to run the plant and handle the extra shipping and export requirements it will generate. Luisetti Seeds is a family-owned and operated company located in Rangiora and Ashburton. Luisetti Seeds opened its doors in 1932 and today the third generation of Luisettis, along with their staff, keep the Luisetti name at the forefront of cereal seed genetics and arable production throughout New Zealand. Luisetti Seeds is the leading supplier of seed peas for frozen pea production and milling wheat seed for bread production in New Zealand.

Answers to your COVID-19 vaccine questions Here are the answers to your most frequently asked questions about the COVID-19 vaccine, the plan, and how it will roll out for our whānau, and our communities: How does the COVID-19 vaccine work? The Pfizer vaccine teaches your own immune system to recognise and fight off the virus. The vaccine can’t give you the disease. It does not contain the virus itself, or anything that can affect your DNA. The vaccine is gone completely from your body within a few days, leaving your immune system stronger, and ready for action if COVID-19 comes near you. Find out more about the Pfizer vaccine, and how it works at Covid19.govt.nz/vaccines
How were the COVID-19 vaccines created so quickly but also safely? Creating the COVID-19 vaccines took a global effort. The world united to take on the challenge. We didn’t have to start from scratch. Similar research was already well underway for similar diseases. As a result, the vaccines could be made faster, whilst still ensuring they went through all the safety checks.
How has the COVID-19 vaccine made our borders stronger? Our border is our first line of defence against COVID-19. We’ve already rolled out the vaccine to border and MIQ workers, and the people they live with. By shielding those most at risk of catching COVID-19 in their workplace, we reduce the risk of future outbreaks, and lockdowns. By making our border stronger, we’ve made Aotearoa stronger too.
What happens when you get the vaccine? You’ll be asked to confirm who you are by answering some simple questions. Getting the vaccine is your choice, so you’ll be asked to give your consent. Remember, you can ask questions at any time. A fully-trained vaccinator will give you the vaccine in your upper arm. You’ll need to stay for at least 20 minutes so we can make sure you’re okay. You might experience some mild side-effects 1-2 days after getting your vaccination. This is common, and a sign that your body is learning to fight the virus. We’ll record your visit in the COVID Immunisation Register. Getting two doses of the vaccine, at least 21 days apart, is important to give you the best protection. Be sure to check your second vaccination is booked, and keep a note of where and when your second appointment takes place.
Is it safe to take the COVID-19 vaccine when pregnant or breastfeeding? Based on how the vaccine works, experts believe it is as safe for pregnant people as for everyone else. The Pfizer vaccine doesn’t contain the live virus, so can’t give you or your baby COVID-19 – but it can offer protection against the disease for you and your baby. As with all vaccinations, be sure to talk to your midwife, GP or healthcare professional before you get the vaccine, to make sure you have the right information for you and your baby. It is also safe for you and your baby to breastfeed after you’ve been vaccinated.
When do you get vaccinated? See what vaccination group you are in at Covid19.govt.nz/vaccines Group 2 are currently being vaccinated. If you are in Group 2 you don’t need to do anything. You will be contacted directly to book your appointment. This will most likely be by your employer or health provider. Each district health board (DHB) is managing the rollout of vaccine in their area. So exactly how and when people are contacted may differ between regions. In some cases, we’re still working out the details. If you are in Groups 3 or 4, you don’t need to do anything for now. We’ll let you know when it’s your turn. Whatever group you are in, the vaccine is available to everyone aged 16 and over, and is free. No-one will miss out.
Thanks for your support Aotearoa The COVID-19 vaccine rollout is the largest vaccine programme the country’s ever had to manage. It’s a massive undertaking, with thousands of New Zealanders involved – from vaccinators to medical specialists, logistics experts, courier drivers, receptionists, volunteers and many more people. Everyone is pulling together to get the vaccine administered as quickly as we can. We want to thank everyone in Aotearoa for your continued patience and support.
The stronger our immunity, the greater our possibilities. Find out more at Covid19.govt.nz

Nostalgic and personal Ashburton’s Anzac show set to connect
Music director, Penny Wilson: “Saturday’s performance will be very nostalgic and personal.’’
Do you remember We’ll Meet Again and White Cliffs of Dover? Music director, Penny Wilson, has been rehearsing those two numbers with an ensemble of 20 for an Anzac production at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre on Saturday at 2.30pm. But her vocalists are likely to swell to about 400 when the audience joins in to sing two of the great Dame Vera Lynn numbers. Wilson, who was Ashburton Operatic’s accompanist for 15 major productions, now focuses on shows such as Anzac – Stories and Songs from the Front Line and working with the Red Hot Nanas, an established female trio who perform around the district. Saturday’s show had its embryo late last year when Wilson sat down with Jenny Beach and Sally Farr and conceived the production. It’s based on World War One and Two songs, plus popular numbers from the era. The ensemble, led by Brent Gray as sergeant major, who comperes the show, will perform most of the programme, but there’ll be opportunity for the audience to join the wartime singalong. A further attraction is a troupe of five young dancers who’ve choreographed Anchors Away and The Fleet’s In Port Again. A strong component of the production will also be letters from the home front. Beach and Farr, who wrote the show, sought letters from local families.
Five nautical dancers who’ll perform Anchor’s Away at Saturday’s Anzac production are (from right); Summah Ralston, Emily-Jane Farr, Jessie Thomson, Abbey Marshall and Kendall Lowe. “Through word of mouth we were given correspondence written home from servicemen from the Mid Canterbury district,” Wilson said. “The letters all relate to people who’ve booked a seat for the show. The majority will know, but the trio has one surprise in hand, which they believe will overwhelm an unsuspecting member of the audience.” Each letter will be illustrated by an image of the serviceman who wrote it and will be accompanied by flute, harmonica or piano, as it’s read. Wilson acknowledges the audience will be older people who’ll know many of the songs and the authors of the letters.

Bec Sandys takes to stage By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz
Local comedian Bec Sandys gives a brutally honest description of what it was like to grow up in Ashburton in the 90s. Sandys is performing in the 2021 New Zealand International Comedy Festival in Auckland in May, but she gave local audiences a look what she’ll bring to that event in her one-woman show, Happy Cabbage, in Methven on Friday. Sandys’ show was rated 18+, even though most of the events she talked about happened well before she turned 18. An eventful childhood and teenage years, and getting up to lots of mischief, gave Sandys plenty of stories to tell the audience. And whether you were a teenager in Ashburton 40 years ago or just four years ago, it was a show many could relate to. The small audience clung to every word Sandys said, with the 55-minute performance seeming like it was over way too quickly. Oh, and the origins of the show name, Happy Cabbage? Turns out, Sandys’ grandmother named her Instagram account Happy Cabbage because of her love of gardening. “A cabbage is at its happiest in the garden or a coleslaw,’’ Sandys joked with her Methven audience. If you get the chance, shoot up to Auckland to see Sandys perform in five shows as part of the New Zealand International Comedy Fest, which may also be broadcast on TVNZ. You won’t be disappointed.

Unusual repertoire but it worked By Malcolm Hopwood
When your programme has no rhyme nor reason then you must be outstanding to carry it off. The New Zealand String Quartet with Four Suits and a Soprano opened their New Zealand tour at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre in engaging style on Saturday. It was a 2021 version of the traditional family concert where every item was as different as the one before. What held this concert together was class, character and control. Five stellar Kiwi artists, accompanied by the New Zealand String Quartet (NZSQ), sang everything from Puccini to Purple Rain. Their singing was ethereal and the arrangements impressive, which enthralled the near capacity audience. A special treat was You Are My Heart’s Delight from Land of Smiles by Lehar sung by Ipu Laga’aia. He has a stunning tenor voice. His performance was matched by the laid-back Charlie Chaplin song, Smile, performed by Rutene Spooner, Chris McRae’s Cave Man and Don’t Cry For Me Argentina from Sophie Morris. It’s difficult sung out of context, but she has a fluid top to her voice and an Eva Peron presence.

OUR VIEW
LTP. No need to yawn By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz
L
ong. Term. Plan. Three words to make many of us yawn. Well, maybe not. That certainly appears to be the case in Mid Canterbury where the Ashburton District Council has been fair swamped by a whole host of submissions to keep their staffers happy in their work for weeks and weeks. At last count, the ADC had received 424 individual public submissions for the draft LTP. That says a couple of things. Firstly, that people care about what goes on in the district and they want to have their say and be heard. It could also suggest that there may be concerns with where the council is heading, its plans, proposals and costs. So, though the LTP as a piece of work has the sex appeal of a footpath, it’s possibly the most influential document Mid Cantabrians face – and that’s whether you’ve read it or not. Because the LTP is a council’s 10-year plan. It outlines what projects it will take on, what money will be budgeted and how they are going to pay for them. And if you really want something done, then, ideally, you want your project prioritised in the first three years of the plan. Why? Because all LTPs are subject to change. Each year the council works out its annual plan, which generally makes adjustments to the LTP. Then every three years the council puts together an entirely new LTP. The further out a planned project is within that plan then the more likely it is to be changed or even scuppered by new council priorities and even government changes. Thus, the LTP process in Ashburton is a very big deal, especially around things like water meters where there appears to be almost an even split in those in favour or against them. Reporter Adam Burns’ story on page two also touched on the very real LTP interest and concern of two of our biggest sporting codes hoping further development of facilities and grounds at and adjacent to the EA Networks Centre do take place and don’t get delayed or, worse, never got off the ground at all. But, quite wisely, both the Mid Canterbury rugby and netball head honchos are also wary of taking pot shots at the council’s LTP council decision makers. There’s no doubt that a sports hub would be a marvellous addition to the already impressive sporting facilities on offer but there’s a process to go through to ensure it happens. That process further underlines why the LTP’s importance cannot be underestimated. Mid Cantabrians have quite obviously realised that.
YOUR VIEW Poppy Day thank you On behalf of the Ashburton RSA members and executive, we would like to thank the public of Mid Canterbury for your very generous support last Friday, April 16 for our an-
nual Poppy Day street appeal. With all the central town roading reconstruction, it certainly didn’t deter you from supporting our welfare fund. Foot traffic may have been back from previous years but your generosity certainly wasn’t and district pride showed through. We missed
last year through the Covid lockdown but our faith in the continued support from the district showed it is still there. Your donations will allow us to give continued support to those veterans and family members, who require assistance. Please accept this as a very
sincere thank you. For anyone still wishing to purchase a poppy or poppies, they are available from the RSA or at various businesses around the town and outlying district. Many thanks. Merv Brenton, Ashburton RSA president

OPINION 11
Big ‘dry’ is hitting the country unevenly D
ry weather affects our entire economy, our communities and families. When a region experiences water poverty, as they are right now in Marlborough, everyone suffers. The effects of the North Island drought in 2020, despite a good spring in a lot of areas, now sees water reservoirs and ground water at some of the lowest levels ever. The large-scale adverse event that was put in place due to the wider North Island and upper South Island drought was declared by Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor on March 12, 2020 and this remains in place until June. However, areas of Northland, Marlborough and the east coast of both islands are still experiencing severely dry conditions on top of water shortages.
By Chris Lewis FROM THE FARM
Resilience to drought needs a good foundation. Plenty of regions experience dry that leads into drought but Marlborough and North Canterbury still have major water reticulation problems spanning back from 2016. Yes, you read that right, 2016, when the Kaikoura earthquake damaged dams and pipes. Feedback from Federated Farmers Marlborough provincial president Philip Neal and data from our just completed Summer Dry survey revealed a huge number of farms suffered from a poor strike rate of winter crop – not good for them and
also a good reminder for those who think they have plenty of feed on hand. I strongly recommend to farmers that they get in touch with their grazing contractor (especially those on the East Coast) to make sure you have sufficient feed in case you need to change your plans. We received a range of comments from our survey, including concerns about: ■■ limited access for stock drinking water across the entire country, ■■ the water table is generally described as being very low, ■■ problems caused by antiquated, inadequate or impractical water reticulation systems requiring farmers to transport water to where the limited feed is or operate an open gate method to allow animals to walk to the water,
■■ issues with authority-operated schemes not able to monitor those who are taking too much water from urban development. Feds is looking into arranging bulk buy deals for those who need support with water. On our farm in the Waikato it has been dry for two years, and even with a bit of rain recently, it’s still noticeably dry. I come home from a couple of days doing Feds’ stuff in Wellington and from the airport I drive home past farms having an outstanding year, and then others like me on the second hard year of dry. This is a good reminder that we need to look out for each other, even those close to us, and not assume everyone is dealing with the same conditions. That’s where Feds’ strength
really lies – 24 provinces all working together. If you have surplus feed, now’s the time to sell, and help another farmer’s deficit in their feed budget. I’d like to thank the nearly 550 Feds members from around the country who responded to the Summer Dry Survey.

Changes to support Kiwi families A
utumn has well and truly arrived and temperatures are starting to cool. But, if the Easter break wasn’t enough, I have good news to cheer up anyone feeling down about the summer’s end. A few weeks ago the Government delivered on a range of policies designed to support the Kiwis who need it most. I know this will make a big difference for hard-working families here in Mid Canterbury. First, the minimum wage increased to $20 an hour, fulfilling an important election promise for Labour. Since 2017, we’ve steadily lifted the minimum wage by $4.25 an hour in total – particularly significant compared to

LABOUR MP
the $3.75 increase the previous National Government managed in all its nine years. Around 175,000 New Zealanders and their families will benefit from this increase, which equates to around $44 a week more before tax for a full-time worker. In total, our minimum wage increases over the past three years mean the lowest paid New Zealanders working full-time now earn $170 a week more before tax.
This support for Kiwis on the lowest incomes has also been extended to people unable to work or struggling to find a job. On April 1, main benefit levels and superannuation rates increased by 3.1 per cent for over one million New Zealanders. This was the second increase to main benefit levels as a result of our policy indexing main benefits to average wage growth, and it’ll see rates increase by up to $16.16 a week. Around 390,000 people and their families will be better off with the annual increase to benefit rates – more than double what it would’ve been using the old inflation adjustment. The Children’s Commissioner said the single best thing gov-
ernment could do for children in poverty was “to see child benefits linked to wages”. That’s what we’ve done here, and it’ll be a change that sticks; supporting this generation of young people and the next. Cumulatively, our Families Package and main benefit changes to date mean that around 111,000 families with children are now on average $118 a week better off. In fact, that figure rises to $150 a week during the winter period, thanks to the Winter Energy Payment. There is still much more to do, like building more homes, improving our health system, and investing in education, training and job opportunities.
But, as we emerge from the Easter break, I think the raft of changes that have just come into force will make a big difference. These policies represent long-overdue improvements to how we support the Kiwis who need it most. They represent real delivery, and I’m proud to be part of a government focused on that.

Back to a woolly future
Sustainable wool carpets a compelling yarn The Government is supporting a new project with all-wool New Zealand carpet company, Bremworth, which has its sights on developing more sustainable all-wool carpets and rugs. The Ministry for Primary Industries is contributing $1.9 million towards Bremworth’s $4.9m sustainability project through its Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures (SFF Futures) fund. Bremworth is a subsidiary of Cavalier Corporation. Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor said the three-year programme would involve research and development of natural and green chemistry-based alternatives to the few remaining synthetic components of woollen carpets. “The rise of synthetic carpets has overtaken wool dramatically in the last few decades, which has severely affected the wool industry,” O’Connor said. “I’m told that an average Kiwi household laid with synthetic carpet is estimated to have the equivalent weight of 22,000 plastic shopping bags on its floor. That’s a compelling reason to use sustainable wool wherever we can to make healthy homes for Kiwis and the world. “More than ever consumers are considering the entire life-cycle of products. We believe this programme will spur demand for New Zealand strong wool and enhance our manufacturing competitiveness through strong environmental credentials that challenge industry norms.” New Zealand wool is 100 per cent biodegradable, renewable and sustainable. “It aims to keep New Zealand woollen

the “Fit for a better world – accelerating our economic potential roadmap”, released last year. It included bringing forward $84m of SFF Futures funding for innovative and creative projects. “This new project is a great example of an initiative that aims to create a step change in the wool products manufactured in Aotearoa and deliver on the Fit for a Better World vision. “Ultimately, we hope it will benefit New Zealand’s strong wool sector, with better returns for our farmers and manufacturers, and supporting their communities. “If we get this right, then that’s a compelling yarn we can sell to our markets abroad,” O’Connor said. Cavalier Corporation chief executive Paul Alston said people didn’t realise how much plastic was going into their homes or that synthetic carpet was made from plastic. “Like many things, used carpet often ends up in landfill and a synthetic carpet put into landfill today will still be there many, many years later. With the support of the SFFF funding grant, Bremworth is seeking to create better and greener ways to manufacture wool carpet and an end product that is healthier for the planet.” Last year, Cavalier announced it would
transition away from the manufacture and supply of synthetic fibre carpets which it said have “negative impacts on people’s health and the planet”. Cavalier stopped ordering synthetic yarn and has sold down its remaining synthetic fibre stock as it returns to its wool carpet roots. “Over the next 10 years, our vision is to become a global leader in designing and creating desirable, sustainable, safe and high performing interior products. Our 50 plus years of experience and exploration has taught us that, for design, innovation and performance on the floor, New Zealand wool is the best fibre available, Alston said. “This is why we have embarked on our journey to becoming a wool-only carpet and rug company.” Bremworth’s strategy aligns with the work undertaken by the government-initiated Strong Wool Action Group in promoting New Zealand and was in line with the government’s strategic priorities of growing the sustainability, value, and reach of New Zealand’s exports, unlocking the potential for sustainable growth in the regions, transitioning to a clean, green, and carbon-neutral New Zealand; and investing for social wellbeing.

Only one voice
Groundswell grows, founders ask for unity By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz
A lack of a strong unified voice means the rural community is struggling to mitigate the impacts of increasing Government regulations such as freshwater reforms, a meeting in Ashburton was told. Groundswell founder Laurie Paterson said that agricultural industry groups needed to recognise the importance of all farmer representatives speaking with one voice. “Neither Beef + Lamb NZ or DairyNZ should have entered into discussions with government about freshwater reforms without Federated Farmers being there.” Farmers faced a raft of challenges from central and local government. “It’s not just freshwater regulations, but biodiversity, the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill, the threat of significant natural area classifications being placed on huge blocks of farmland without compensation and a continuing rates burden,” Paterson said. Groundswell NZ grew out of a protest late last year when 120 tractors were driven down Gore’s main street in response to new freshwater regulations. Paterson said that while Groundswell was founded by a group of Southland farmers, farmers across the country were affected by the rules, which came into force last September. Groundswell has asked for the national policy statement for freshwater management to be rewritten based on science and best practice for each catchment and farm, rather than adopting a national blanket approach. “The government should be getting behind a more catchment and farm-based approach

Neither Beef + Lamb NZ or DairyNZ should have entered into discussions with government about freshwater reforms without Federated Farmers being there. and making it work rather than trying to introduce an EU-type regulatory regime that is taking money away that could be spent
on improvements and biodiversity.” The pace and extent of change required by government regu-
lations was also putting a lot of pressure on farmers. Paterson cited farmer apathy after a Groundswell petition attracted 2500 signatures, while a Greenpeace petition calling for the government to phase out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser collected 33,000 signatures. Groundswell was planning further action after holding meetings throughout the South Island. Jamie McFadden, of Hurunui, North Canterbury, who leads the Rural Advocacy Network, said the tightening of national policy standards meant councils and
communities had lost the flexibility to make decisions in their own area. “We have shifted from an enabling legislation to a one size fits all dictatorship, unfettered power and a straitjacket on councils and communities. That is what we are seeing with freshwater, indigenous biodiversity and will probably see with climate change policy. “The government care more about control than they do about the environment.” Farmers needed to get much better at recognising the issues their fellow farmers were facing, rather than thinking it was just a Southland, or high country issue, McFadden said. “The state of the rural voice at a national level is a mess. Having industry good organisations like Beef + Lamb and DairyNZ in the advocacy space has been hugely detrimental to farmers. “Federated Farmers are being undermined by having so many other industry players in the mix,” McFadden said. “New Zealand farmers are leading the world with their environmental work. Our leaders should be celebrating our efforts on the world stage, rather than demonising us because of our past.” North Otago farmer Jane Smith said the blueprint of change was much greater than freshwater and told farmers not to get distracted by arbitrary dates and low slopes. She questioned why one ministry (environment) seemed to be completely overshadowing all other land-based and primary industry portfolios. “This is not just about having clean water. It is about control We have extremist views that are being able to infiltrate Parliament, which is pandering to a lot of groups at the extreme edge,” Smith said.

Amy Ferguson was blown away by all the support from the Ashburton public for the local Sky Tower Challenge to raise money for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand. It was a fundraising event in preparation for Ashburton Volunteer Firefighter father and daughter duo Amy and John Ferguson doing the Auckland Sky Tower Challenge. The Ashburton Community raised over $1000 for the cause. “[It’s a] great amount of money raised for the Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand,” Amy Ferguson said.

Tinwald hosts young equestrians By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
If you give them an avenue in which to learn, they shall prosper. On Saturday, close to 90 riders converged at the Tinwald Pony Club for their annual Show Jumper and Show Hunters Day – the biggest number of entrants received this season for an event held by the club. Used as a training day in which both rider and horse can gain valuable experience in the saddle, Tinwald Pony Club president, Clare Quigley, said they could not be happier with how they day unfolded. “We had a great day, and it looked like everyone who came a long did as well,” she said. With entries open right up until the day before the event, most pony clubs will head into the final hours before an event blind as to how many people will actually show up, so it was a pleasant surprise to see so many competi-
Trotter impresses The Michael Heenan-trained Latina Hall was one of a number of horses to impress at the Chertsey Trials held at the Ashburton Racecourse on Saturday. The former Gymkhana date, the trials acted as the club’s trophy day as well, with good nominations and some strong performances. Maiden trotter, Latina Hall led all the way for Heenan in a good mixed grade trot, and was defiant to the line beating a fast-finishing Navara.
Cranbourne bold Mid Canterbury pacer Cranbourne continued his rapid rise up the pacing ranks with a bold third behind superstar pacers Self Assured and Spankem in Sunday’s Rangiora Classic. The Brent White-trained pacer has advanced himself to the point where he now is considered to be an open class pacer, and he turned in a very good performance in a quick time to run third behind the glamour pair. His time of 3.08.8 would have been good enough to win all bar three editions of the feature race. tors in action on Saturday morning. “You get a bit nervous that you’re going to have low entries because a lot don’t enter until the
day or so beforehand, but to get that many people along was really great.” Catering for all shapes, sizes and levels of experience, Quigley
said there was an opportunity for everyone at the event with some of the show jumping getting to a metre and a half, and even a kindy sized ring for the younger riders with a bit of an obstacle course for them to negate. While numbers might not be as grand as they once were, the Tinwald Pony Club currently boasts a membership base of about 35 children which has formed a really good tight network of likeminded people. With the annual Show Jumper and Show Jumper Day out of the way, attention for the club now turns to its annual Tinwald Pony Club Show which will this year be held on September 18.

In brief
Methven Monday The grass track harness racing season will come to an end on Anzac Monday, when the Methven Trotting Club hosts its final meeting. After kicking off the grass track season back in September 2020, the club gets the honour this year of bringing the curtain down on another huge season on the greentop tracks around the country. First race to kick start the day on Monday is 11.:40am, with a good card of action set to be on offer.
Townley injured Legendary Mid Canterbury horseman, Kevin Townley, was taken to hospital on Sunday afternoon following a nasty fall in the opening race of the day at Rangiora. Townley’s drive, Murano, was caught up in the smash after another runner fell to the track about 1000 metres of the event. Townley suffered a dislocated and fractured hip in the fall. No horses were injured in the incident.

The need for speed was felt around Willowby on the weekend as close to 20 enthusiasts lined up for the Ashburton Car Club’s Willowby Standing ¼ Mile Sprint event on Saturday. The annual fixture of the club drew good entries and some impressive looking vehicles, with competitors charged with producing the fastest possible time over the quarter mile distance through their nine available runs. Members of the Ashburton Car Club were right on song in the event, with Bruce Williams in his Porsche 911 delivering the goods, producing three excellent times in the three runs he contested with a fastest time of 11.63.

Mid Canterbury hit the wall HOCKEY
By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
After an exciting first-round victory, the Mid Canterbury Senior men’s hockey side were reminded of the physical and mental toughness of the Canterbury Hockey Division One competition with defeat on Saturday. Taking on Avon at Nga Puna Wai on Saturday afternoon, the Mid Canterbury side which trekked to Christchurch did so in much stronger frame of mind than seven days earlier when heading into the unknown. But happy memories quickly faded out when after some strong play from Avon and some dodgy option-taking by Mid Canterbury they quickly found themselves down 0-1 at the end of the first quarter. The game didn’t change a lot in the second quarter, with Avon dominating and working a penalty corner which they converted to go up by two quickly after the break – a scoreline they maintained for the remainder of the half. Spurred on after the break, Mid Canterbury began playing with a lot more control, especially when in possession, and with time almost up for the third quarter an opportunity finally presented itself which they grabbed with both hands. A penalty corner in favour of the Mid Canterbury side saw the experienced Sam Moore snap up an opportunity after an untidy trap and put the ball behind the goalie and Mid Canterbury were on the board trailing 1-2. Avon bounced back though, and managed another goal to extend the lead again, and Mid Canterbury were unable to get themselves back into the game,

FOOTBALL
Tough day for United By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
Mid Canterbury’s two senior football sides faced a tough day at the office on Saturday with back-to-back defeats at Clare Park in Christchurch. Taking on Burwood, both the Senior Men in the Championship grade and the Reserves side suffered losses but did manage to find the net in two high-scoring matches. The senior side found themselves one goal down early in their match, but bounced back to score a goal of their own through the ever-reliable Luke Martin just before half time to bring the scores to level. That hard work in the first half went out the window in the second though, as Burwood went into overdrive, scoring four second half goals, which were answered solely by the boot of Millar McLauchlan, who grabbed Mid Canterbury’s second. It wasn’t enough, unfortunately, with the side going down 2-5. In the Reserves match, things unfolded eerily similar with Mid Canterbury down one-nil before Ben Sutton grabbed an opportunity to bring the scores level. A late goal by Burwood in the first half though saw them head into the break down a goal. That quickly became 3-1 when Burwood scored again after 10 minutes. Joel Chand’s inch-perfect header from a Ben Sutton cross gave the side a sniff, though, and even when Burwood grabbed another the red and blues didn’t give up the task at hand. Josh Burrowes grabbed his first goal of the season to bring the scoreline back to within one, but another goal to Burwood put the match out of reach for the Mid Canterbury side, who lost 3-5. Mid Canterbury Seniors get a Championship break this weekend for Anzac Weekend, but kick off their English Cup campaign when they take on Selwyn on Monday, while the Reserves head back to Christchurch and to Walter Park to tackle Western AFC in their fourth round clash.
TOUCH
Connell shines at touch nationals By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
Noted Mid Canterbury rugby player Brenton Connell swapped the rugby boots for the touch cleats on the weekend, and came back home with national success next to his name. Connell, who is the co-captain of the Methven senior rugby side this year, was missing in action from his side’s 24-14 victory over Lincoln on Saturday, as he was in Christchurch helping the Canterbury Men’s 30 side win their age group at the New Zealand Touch Championships. Played at Nga Puna Wai on the outskirts of the city centre, Connell and his side managed to make it three in a row for the
Canterbury side, when they beat North Harbour in the final 7-6. Connell played a big part in his side’s success, scoring their second try after running good lines to find himself in space and dot down, and then late in the game found a bit of the miracle kind of play he’s renowned for in the 15man game, with a no-look wide ball to an unmarked man on the wing to put Canterbury up 7-5 with just minutes left to play. After missing last year’s nationals due to having his knee operated on, Connell said it was good to be back out on the paddock. “I really enjoy it, it’s good fun with a good group of people,” he said. “I was in the side when we won it two years ago and it’s still a really good feeling to get the gold.”

Southern, Hampstead hit demolition mode By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
Talk about making a statement. If teams across the greater Canterbury Country region felt that this year’s shortened combined competition was going to be a line-up of hard-fought and close encounters, no-one bothered to tell either Southern or Hampstead. The two Mid Canterbury sides flicked on the rampage switch on Saturday as they both registered huge victories to announce their season intentions to their rivals. Meanwhile, two valuable wins fell the way of both Celtic and Methven, but Rakaia were unable to complete a clean sweep for the local sides, finishing on the wrong side of the score sheet against Springston. Spurred on by their impressive victory over Waihora in the opening round, Southern took to State Highway One to travel to Rolleston on Saturday brimming with confidence, and it showed almost immediately as they took their hosts apart, running in 11 tries on their way to a 74-7 demolition. After grabbing a double last week, mid-fielder Petero Tuwai was again in beast mode, snaring a quartet of tries during the match. Evergreen halfback, Will Mackenzie chimed in with three of his own while Anthony McAtamney, Callum Burrell, James Hastings and George Williams all dotted down as well for Southern. Williams’ 24-point effort for the match included eight conversions and a penalty. The win has seen Southern jump four points clear in Pool B, and sets up a really mouth-watering clash with Methven on Friday night in Hinds. Back in Ashburton, Hampstead showed their class, with a drubbing of a hapless Hornby in front of their faithful supporters. After a few years of unlucky results in the Combined competition, the blue and golds announced their presence with a dominant performance, including a dogged defensive display that halted Hornby from scoring any points against them in the entire 80 minutes, finishing with a 47-0 score-line. Leti Leanna was in good nick, grabbing a brace of tries, while Junior Esae, Atolofi Lapa, Semisi Lei, Manase Nonu and Sokz Salima also got their name on the score sheet, with Lei adding six conversions. Their challenge will be to build on that confidence now and take it to Springston on Saturday for their round three clash in what should be a big encounter. Springston were in dominant form on Saturday when putting away a young Rakaia side 47-10. After a round-one victory over Hornby, Rakaia looked forward to getting their first game in front of their home crowd, but were faced-off with a very slick Spring-

They managed tries through Seta Koroitamana and Thomas Whittaker, but were unable to repel the challenge placed in front of them. After sitting out round one with the bye, Celtic kicked right into gear during their centenary year with a really impressive performance against Waihora. They ran in three tries, and the boot of co-captain Nathan McCloy was right on the money as he added 12 points, as his side won 27-12. Barnstorming mid-fielder Rai-
tube Vasurakuta was really strong with the ball in hand, scoring two tries, while Troy Edwards grabbed Celtic’s other as they signalled their intent for the season ahead, and showed that after a couple of years of development they’re right on track for a big winter. In Methven, nightmares of a last-minute loss to Prebbleton in the opening round were wiped out as the defending Watters Cup champions grabbed their first win of the season with a hardfought victory over Lincoln. Methven were the better team on the paddock, but for the majority of the first half were tasked with defending like their lives

depended on it, as Lincoln threw the kitchen sink at them. Somehow the line remained intact, and Methven turned defence into attack with a scouting break down the flank by winger Tait Chisman which saw the ball go through a few sets of hands before he scored in the corner. Reuben Early added the conversion to go with his earlier penalty, and Methven went to the break up 10-0. If defence was the shining point in the first 40 minutes, then the right and left shoulders of Nete Caucau became the most valuable items on the paddock in the second.
Methven used his power-running to full impact, and he paved the way for two great tries from Tiger Holmes – both directly created by strong runs from Caucau followed up by beautiful deliveries to players running good lines outside him. Lincoln did manage to grab two tries in the second half, but it was too little too late by then and Methven’s season was under way, with the confidence levels boosted ahead of Friday night’s all-important clash with Southern under the lights at Hinds. That’s the only Friday night game for the long weekend, with all other games being played on Saturday afternoon. Rakaia will head over the river to take on Darfield, Hampstead travel to Springston and Celtic will host Rolleston at Keenans Road. AT A GLANCE

Beckley Shield on the move By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
The Bruce Beckley Challenge Shield found a new home in the first week of Mid Canterbury Rugby’s Senior B competition on Saturday. Holders, Mt Somers, were unable to keep a rather special piece of silverware in their clubrooms, with Celtic making a winning venture out to the Mt Somers Domain to take the shield back to Keenans Road with them. Celtic won a hard-fought match 28-19 – signalling that they are right on track to be a leading contender in this season’s competitions. Mt Somers won’t be too disheartened by the defeat though with plenty of promise from their side in the early stages of the season. Inland from Mt Somers, Methven announced their arrival with a strong victory at the Methven Domain against Southern. One of the powerful forces of last season’s competition, Methven looked right on track with a strong squad of players, and overcame the Southern challenge to win 32-7 to claim maximum points from their opening clash of the season. The third match of the round saw Allenton start very impressively. They took on
the new-look Collegiate and Hampstead Combined side and were in ruthless form, winning 43-21 in a high-scoring fixture. Despite last weekend being classified as the official opening round of the Senior B competition, one game, between Southern and Mt Somers, was played a fortnight ago, with Mt Somers getting the wood over their hosts out at Hinds, winning 50-26. The match was organised to be played early by both sides to allow them a free-weekend to enjoy the opening of duck shooting in the Central South Island area. Senior B rugby takes a break this weekend, but returns on May 1, with Celtic putting the Bruce Beckley Challenge Shield back on the line when they take on Allenton, and Collegiate Combined hosting Methven. In Colts rugby action from the weekend, a good day out at the Hampstead All Sports Ground continued when Hampstead/Southern Combined prevailed 2212 over Hornby. Celtic kept their season right on track with another big win, this time beating Waihora 57-8, but the Methven Combined side felt the full force of Lincoln in their match, losing 7-41.

OPINION
Chiefs reboot of team culture working the oracle By Jason Wall RNZ
M
an, Super Rugby Aotearoa turned it on this weekend. After a couple of games last weekend that went to golden point the four teams in action managed to find another gear, in fact playing the two best games of the season so far. How good were they? Combined, there were 10 lead changes. For once, there wasn’t anything (major) to complain about from the refs. A couple of guys really pushed their claims for the All Blacks. And for everyone outside their region, we got to see the Crusaders lose, which is always good. Scott Robertson is now facing the biggest test of his astoundingly successful career as coach of the perennial champions. They’ve now lost two out of their last three games, and the
one they won was in golden point extra time against the lowly Hurricanes. One more bad performance next weekend against the Blues, and you could say they’re in crisis mode. To be fair, having that sort of slip-up described as a crisis is more praise than anything else, but it is worth noting that the usually metronomic Richie Mo’unga’s very uncharacteristic missed conversion of Codie Taylor’s try essentially cost them the game. Meanwhile, the Chiefs have a crisis of their own. Clayton McMillan has managed to do rather well this season – on the surface not actually that hard, considering they can’t have been any worse than they were last year. But beyond the results the Chiefs now look very much like a team that’s rediscovered who they are, and how their brand of
rugby should be played. The weird thing is that this isn’t even the first time in recent history that they’ve had a massive turnaround in form. Only two years ago they started the season by losing to the Brumbies and Sunwolves, then salvaging an improbable end to the season by thumping the Crusaders and Rebels to make the playoffs. It seems adversity brings out the best in the Chiefs, but the real adversity now lies with their walkabout head coach Warren Gatland. McMillan is only there for this season as cover while Gatland takes the entire year to coach a British & Irish Lions tour that consists of eight matches. McMillan has got the Chiefs to where they are by earning the respect of the players in what is clearly a complete reboot of their team culture. Does McMillan hit the road once Gatland gets back, or do
the Chiefs try and work out some sort of new arrangement? The Chiefs’ win should have been a big helping hand for the Blues, but they fluffed their lines and lost to the fired-up Highlanders on Friday night. Almost like Mo’unga’s miss, this one can be put down to a couple of key moments that the Blues would love to have again, namely Hoskins Sotutu getting binned for stupidly sticking his leg out to interfere with a quick tap, then Alex Hodgman committing the most brainless bit of foul play just as his team was primed to get back in the game. Much has been made of the Blues’ all-All Black prop rotation, but so far while it’s made their scrum solid, it’s also cost them dearly due to ill-discipline. Ofa Tuungafasi should have been sent off against the Crusaders, then Hodgman’s idiocy in driving his shoulder into James Lentjes’ head directly led to the
Highlanders scoring the winning try. This was a bad loss by the Blues, no matter the good performances from some of their key backs, because it could have been prevented by a couple of guys who should know better just using their brains. While there were a fair few empty seats in Dunedin, there was a very good crowd in to watch the Chiefs beat the Crusaders. Hamilton has clearly noticed that its side isn’t the broken down rabble that lost an astounding 11 games in a row anymore, and although the Sky TV commentary team seemed to bump the official attendance up by a mere thousand or so whenever it was mentioned on the broadcast, there is every chance the full house sign may be put up at FMG Stadium Waikato before the season is out. Now who would have guessed that when season 2021 started?

Altrusa Club
Our guest speaker at the March Programme Meeting was Dr Diane Young, formerly Diane Hampton, who grew up in Ashburton. She spoke about her fifteen years in Lilongwe, Malawi working as a medical missionary with her husband Jim. Much of her work was spent treating children with HIV. Epilepsy was also a serious problem because of malaria affecting the brain. Jim trained Sunday School teachers at the Bible College where they were based. The positive human spirit still shines through. We have an easy life here in New Zealand considering what these people have to endure. Our Fabric and Craft Bazaar, held on Saturday 10th April, was the usual magnificent success, involving all members of the Club, and appreciative buyers from the community. Now the Pop-up Shop for the Bazaar in East Street will continue until April 24. The Literacy Committee are providing trugs for the “Boost” books for schools. The Foot Clinic continues on April 22, and thereafter every six weeks. Members are helping with Meals on Wheels in April, as well as the fortnightly Books on Wheels programme in conjunction with the Ashburton Public Library.
Ashburton Golf Club
Another busy weekend just gone and an Anzac weekend coming up at the Brandon. The course is playing wonderfully, but even so, there were plenty of very average scores last Saturday. Not average at all was Terry Molloy, who got himself a lovely 40 points to take out first place, one point clear of Lefty May and Eric Parr and 2 clear of Ram Clark. Well done boys. If you see Perry, ask him how he feels after bullying young Seb McMillan into rushing a birdie putt “oh just tap it in”. Which then Seb actually missed, costing him a share of the Birdie and Eagle jackpot, bugger! This weekend we have two days of mixed golf. On Saturday we have the AM Bruce Cup which is a foursome round. Only one ball played in the pair, playing alternate shots, you choose to tee off on the odd or even holes. Note, all the par threes are even holes. Then on Monday we have the Baker Trophy battle of the sexes. Individual stableford, then all the mens and ladies scores are added up, all scores count, then they are averaged out and the Ladies captain gets the trophy. Vicki has put a call out for as many ladies as possible to come and join the fun. Terry has told quite a few men to stay at home and only asked the form golfers to attend. Guess where I will be? Pennants last Sunday had some interesting results. I got a txt saying the A team had been defeated, so I just presumed it was a typo. Then I heard that Tom and the pups had won, so I thought somebody was just playing a cruel joke. Then the third txt came through saying that Shane’s Alex team had beaten Mayfield. I had to double check the calendar to make sure it wasn’t the 1st of April. No, it turns out that it was all correct. Well done to Shane and the boys, I said it was your year. Tom’s team is now called the Stoddarts as the three brothers filled half of the team places, and got over half of the points, but then, they did only beat the Tinwald team that the big boys softened up for them last round, but I suppose a wins a win, and winners are grinners. The old fellas obviously missed their beloved captains steadying influence. Old Spud and Brent continued their unbeaten season at one and two. Bruce is really struggling at number 3 with another hiding and John managed to snatch a defeat from the jaws of victory being 4 up with 5 to play. Oh well, we can all try again in two weeks time. Pop down to the course over the long weekend and join in the fun. Good golfing.
Ashburton Inner Wheel
Recently one of our longstanding members was presented with an Honoured Active Membership Award in recognition of continuing service to Inner Wheel. Melva Brown was a charter member of Inner Wheel in Waimate with four members travelling to Ashburton to witness Melva receiving this prestigious award. Melva joined Waimate club in 1973, transferring to Ashburton in 1999. It has been said that someone is looking for Melva try the kitchen. Well done and Congratulations Melva. Keep up the good work. Two new members have been inducted into our local Inner Wheel Club at our last meeting with Jocelyn Thomson and Mary Loach being warmly welcomed. Our guest speakers were two club members with interesting stories to tell. Luda was born in East Germany, lived in Soviet Union and Poland where she met her New Zealand husband. They came to Christchurch in 2005 and have been living here in Ashburton for six years. Luda had some notes with her which were written in Russian but of course she spoke in English. Judy is a local and has been involved with volunteering for many years including Rural Support Trust, Victim Support, Red Cross leading on to earthquake assistance with both Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes. Judy has been awarded a Mayor’s citizenship award for all her voluntary service. An interesting evening enjoyed by all.
Creative Fibre
There was a beautiful, exquisite display of handmade fans, some framed, others on backgrounds and yet others ready to use. All were handmade by the same member and were samples of Bobbin (or Cushion) Lace. They were displayed after a discussion between a member of the public and members of our organisation at the Plains Craft Day at the weekend. The Co-Chairperson
Lions guest speaker, Jacqueline Robertson and her father, David Robertson. welcomed a good attendance considering it was the school holidays. She read some quotes – one explained that knitting used up about 80 calories in an hour while another told us we couldn’t accurately count stitches and hold a conversation at the same time! The Almoner congratulated Cindy and Cliff Begg on reaching their Diamond Wedding anniversary and also congratulated Ann on her success at recent Croquet and Outdoor Bowls tournaments. Members were saddened to learn of the passing of a Members daughter. About 15 members attended the Spin In at a members home at Leeston. A beautiful garden on a perfect day. Thanks to Beath for providing a perfect venue. Our Librarian reported that our 2 new magazines had arrived and are now available for the members to enjoy. There are regular workshops being held at the Timaru Women’s Wellness Centre arranged by Timaru Creative Fibre from 10am – 2pm each month – spinners one month and weavers the next. Learners made very welcome. The Hotel Ashburton has been booked for the 12th July (Monday) arrival 11;30am for dinner at mid – day. More information later. Spin In at the Plains Museum has been booked for 1st Monday each month for a three month trial. $2 door charge to defray expenses. Everyone including the public are very welcome. Nenke Benge, a well-respected National Tutor is to hold a workshop for learner weavers on July 4th/5th. More information will be available later but save your spare change for this interesting couple of days. A Dyeing day is being planned to be held at Staveley for one day. More information when the date etc is confirmed. It has been suggested we re-instate our Sales table on an honesty system for Club funds beginning next month. Goods priced by the Donor. It was reported that Margaret Williamson has retired after 23yrs tutoring – a great effort. Greenacres is still processing and selling fleeces to crafters. Appointments are necessary – ph. no. in Creative Fibre magazine. Beath explained the history of Handmade Studio started (before the earthquakes) and is still operating and encouraging people to work as well as they can with their disabilities (Usually mental impairment) and sell their craft through the Studio on Mandeville Street in Christchurch.
They are assisted by a small group of volunteers. Well worth a visit if in Christchurch. The Spin In on the 5th Monday in May is at 71 Middle Road from 19am – 2pm. Bring your lunch. South Canterbury Area Meeting after our meeting on 17th May starting at 1.30pm. Ashburton Spin In at Plains Museum 3rd May 10am – 2pm. Bring lunch. Show and Tell: Several hats of all shapes and sizes and patterns, several blankets (knitted and crochet), spun yarn from Greenacres fleece, spun yarn dyed, teddy bear knitted with jacket. Small white wall hanging, mittens and a crochet animal cuddly. We ended the meeting with another pearl of wisdom from our Co – Chairperson: You know you are a crafts person when you take a break from a larger project – to do a smaller project!
Lions Club Of Ashburton
The April Meeting was held at the Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday 7 April. President Roger Paterson welcomed all in sundry to the meeting with particular emphasis on visitors, new members and guests including prospective member Robert Doreen. He also welcomed members of the Hinds Lions Club. President Roger then requested Garth Bateup read the following tribute to our recently deceased and much revered Lions Club member Rex Whiting. “Eulogy – Rex Whiting: The Lions motto is “We Serve”. As a Lion Rex served our worldwide organisation, Lions Clubs International, our Club and, most importantly his Community. He joined the Lions Club of Ashburton in May 1995. Rex soon became fully involved in the Clubs activities holding various offices including Projects Director, Administration Director, First, Second and Third Vice President before becoming President in July 2001 for the 2001/02 year. A very social person Rex spent several years on our Programme and Social Committee. In this role he ensured that the Clubs meetings were informative and entertaining. From all the trips he organised to the Addington races we became not richer but poorer. Rex then served another term as President for the 2013/14 year. The following year he served on our District Cabinet as Zone Chairman representing the seven Mid – Canterbury Clubs. Over the past few years, he has been the districts northern area representative assisting the 23 Clubs from Oamaru to Rakaia with the collection of old and foreign money, aluminium cans and used spectacles for support of the Heads up for Kid’s programme and
improving the sight of many people in the Pacific Islands. During his three-year stint as Bulletin Editor, he kept members well informed of not only Club activities and issues but also imparted the latest in jokes and stories from his impressive repertoire. During the Covid–19 lockdown last year Rex’s publications became more frequent keeping members informed on various issues. This was despite his marathon exercycle ride around the southern part of New Zealand and up through the West Coast. Rex designed one of the Clubs most successful projects of recent times – the Big Smoke verses Rural Folk fun night and auction. This project, now held every two years, has raised around $90,000 for community organisations from the three times it has been held. In 2017 the Club obtained the rights to stage the annual South Island Motorhome Show in Ashburton. Being Club President at the time, I mentioned to Rex, on a Club visit to Mayfield, that I was concerned as to who I could get in the Club to convene the running of this project. A couple of hours later, on our way home, Rex volunteered himself for the task. Rex set up the various systems to ensure that the event ran smoothly and was well supported by both industry vendors, motorhome owners and the general public. Of course, it is a successful project, now returning the Club more than $20,000 each year for the past four years, which is used to support the various causes, organisations and people that we assist in our community. These types of projects take up a considerable amount of member’s time however, it is not all work – we enjoy ourselves especially the camaraderie and the banter that occurs amongst members. During these times Rex knew how to express himself, when necessary, with his special sign language. I don’t intend to show you what it was. For his contribution to Lions, the community, and the objectives of Lions Clubs International, Rex was awarded a Melvin Jones Fellowship in 2016. This is the highest international recognition that can be made to an individual Lion. Both Rex and our Club has always been supported by Moira – herself a Lion. We will miss having Lion Rex in our Club and extend to Moira and all family members our deepest sympathy.” A letter was read from Moira Whiting to acknowledge support received from the Lions. To Moira and family, our Club extends its heartfelt sympathy. Roger then outlined the District Conference meeting at Waimate including the election results in which saw County Lion Christine Stewart becoming District Governor Elect, and our clubs Garth Bateup becoming 2nd Vice District Governor Elect. Our Club won the Doake Cup for youth activities. Four Country Bumpkins, namely Graham and Linda Edge and Garth and Christine Bateup won the conference Best Dressed award. Addendum - Linda Edge donated a painting to raise funds for Camp Quality and when auctioned at the conference, it fetched $900. Club lists circulated including the proposed Club visit to Geraldine on 26 May. Social Events included a trip to Talleys on Thursday 13 May and Erewhon Trip possibly Sunday 9 May. Barry Vessey reported the Berwick Experience had seven applications from age 20 to 50 years, with the applicants meeting on 28 April. Steve Thomas gave a positive report on the Methven Show gate and Mark Holmes reported the Twizel Biker trip was a great success. Barney Parsons outlined the Vintage Car Club Swap Meet duties on May 1 and advised Vehicle Parking is being revised for this year. Sam Gordon spoke on applications for Club Grants with a $2000 grant to Community House for heat pumps being endorsed. Our 3-minute speaker was Phil Lynch, who outlined his journey from Dipton to Ashburton with various career highlights, included among them Air Force, Police, Motels and CDHB. Grace and the Thought for the Day were provided by Roger Paterson. Our Guest speaker was Jacqueline Robertson, who gave an amazing account of life in Japan under the Covid 19 outbreak. Jacqueline is married to teacher husband Yosuke Schishido, with two children plus the family dog and a language school. She made the decision to bring her children back to Ashburton due to the lack of direction and action from the Japanese Government and Medical authorities. It was as if life in Japan would go ahead as usual. Some mask use was used by the people but many people still attended the Snow Festival in China as if nothing of major concern was happening. Jacqueline gave a month by month outline of the ‘stiff upper lip’ attitude to the virus in Japan, inconsistent rules regarding attendance at school, until finally in January 2021 she and her children came to NZ via well- managed isolation in Rotorua. Even now the situation in Japan is largely unchanged in terms of Government action and the country is bracing for a fourth wave of Covid. As for the Olympic Games ‘who knows’!! But in Japan the feeling is ‘ceremonies and the show ‘must go on. Apart from being separated from her husband and having to conduct her Language school business on line, Jacqueline feels at least the children are being protected and that is paramount. An amazing tale indeed and not what we would expect from a very disciplined country like Japan. President Roger discussed the Board for next year. There are still some gaps and all members were encouraged to accept ‘top office’. Lois Sparrow and Stu Dunlop deputised very well as Tail Twisters and raffles were drawn, concluding the evening. The May Club meeting will be held at Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday 5 May. The annual quiz night will be the feature of the meeting under the direction of Colin Morgan.

Ashburton Horticultural Society
President Joy welcomed 13 members to our April meeting. Our guest speaker was Brian Glassey, speaking on preparing his poultry for showing. Brian gave a detailed and humorous talk on preparing his poultry. He showed the cycle from the egg, hen (he brought along one of his silky hens), compost for the garden from manure and finally a lovely vase of flowers. Brian can show up to 50 hens at any one show and 3 days before a show each hen is washed and rinsed twice, they are towel dried to fluff up their feathers then placed in individual pens in an insulated heated room to complete the drying process. Their beaks are trimmed, cone dressing applied and if necessary, feathers removed from around the eyes. At all Poultry Shows the poultry is judged by the NZ Standards which covers every breed. Brian also mentioned his starring role in the film Pecking Order. Table show results: 68 entries, 9 points winners, John Hoogweg – 6 firsts, 0 seconds, 1 third, Brian Glassey – 5, 3, 0, Graham Gunn – 2, 4, 3, Joy Jaine – 2, 2, 2, Cyril Keen – 2, 2, 0, Surrey Lamont – 1, 3, 0, Trevor Gamblin – 1, 0, 1, Anne Gamblin – 1, 0, 0, Pat Tarbotton – 0, 0, 1, Premier Award: John Hoogweg – Class 17 3 Dahlia blooms - Barbarry Sultan, Raffle was won by Surrey Lamont.

Lynnford Rural Women
The April meeting was hosted by Pat at her residence at Coldstream House. Our planned meeting scheduled for last year, was postponed last year due to the covid virus. A short meeting as there was no speaker this month. Merrin, the Manager of Coldstream House, spoke to the members before the meeting and said it was hard for the residents during the lockdown without the usual visitors and activities, but all came through it well. Congratulations to Jill and David on their 50th wedding anniversary. A card was sent round for signing before Jill arrived for the meeting. A Media release on Ovarian Cancer was sent around the meeting for perusal. The Scholarships are now closed and will be announced at the Provincial Meeting in May. The Provincial meeting will be held on Friday 9 April. Saturday 10 April, Altrusa are having their Fabric, Craft Bazaar art the Sinclair Centre 9am to 4pm.

Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club
Julie Begg welcomed members and visitors to the April meeting of the club held recently.
Members stood in silence to remember two members who had passed away recently – Estelle Jones and Maureen Whiting, they had both been Presidents of the club. Birthdays and Anniversaries were celebrated and Dot Font thanked everyone for the birthday wishes she had received. The recent lunch for members had been well attended. Past President Avis Kingsland was the mini speaker and told an interesting story of her life growing up in Invercargill. Later on she came to Ashburton and had three daughters. However, the surprise in her life was two daughters adding to their families, one with twins and the other with triplets. Avis had five new grandchildren all at once. They are now 17 years of age. After morning tea the main speaker was Kirsty who
answered questions about real estate. Kirsty had started her career at a newspaper, photography being her speciality. This is extremely useful when listing houses for sale. Her main advice when selling is to declutter. She had attended a three days course at the Polytechnic in Christchurch, and passed 11 papers. During lockdown the phones just went dead, but they are now busy again, there is a shortage of houses to sell. Kirsty considers her career is about building relationships. The thought for the month is “It’s not what you do some of the time, it’s what you do most of the time that makes the difference.” The next meeting is 12 May at 9.45am at the Hotel Ashburton. To make some new friends and also to have some fun and fellowship phone Avis 308-6539 or Rae 3088927.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Test ideas in small ways before going big-time. Even if your sampling may not be diverse enough to get a good idea of what your results would be were you to take the idea wider, the feedback will be valuable. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There is no bad quality that doesn’t have an upside and no good quality that doesn’t have a downside. Embrace the dualities instead of judging or fighting them and you grow in power. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Once you figure out that your assumption was incorrect, you’ll abandon it. This proves your evolution and is part of your brilliance. A lack of stubbornness will contribute to your ongoing success. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Learning together creates a bond. Challenging environments and circumstances reveal what a person is willing to give to life in order to grow, know and accept more about it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): What is emotional safety? It’s being around people you can trust to keep their word and expecting them to do so, or it’s being around people known to disappoint and expecting them to do so. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): A most difficult relationship to form or maintain is a relationship with a busy person. Bonds are often built in the margins of the action, and for a terribly busy person, those margins are narrow indeed. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re attracted to purposeful people, and you fear aimlessness, secretly believing it to be contagious. Be careful not to make a quick judgment on the matter. Not all who wander are lost. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Just when you’re not expecting much from a project, task or relationship, you’ll experience a moment that takes it to the next level. Once you experience it, there’s no going back. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): When you speak, things happen. You change things with talk. You’ll connect with people and the world in ways that wouldn’t have happened had you not made it so with your words. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You’ve gotten good at blending in with a group. From here, you are quite powerful, as you have the alliance of many. Soon, it will be your turn to take a stand. Your platform is coming together. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Before you try to separate and categorise things, step back from the mess to look for patterns and connections within it. That insight will be harder to detect once you start moving everything around. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): People can feel your heart is in the right place, so don’t worry if words come out wrong. Knowing the right thing to say and saying it the right way is a skill that takes practice. Heart can’t be taught.

Squash action heats up By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz
Midlands Squash’s hectic 2021 schedule rolled into Hinds on the weekend. A strong, full-capacity field of players took to the courts over Friday and Saturday for the annual Hinds Open – the third tournament on the circuit so far this season. Some of the form from previous events at Ashburton and Temuka stacked up as
well, with regular names appearing at the business end of the tournament once more. In the Men’s Open, Lee Barker couldn’t quite replicate his efforts of a few weeks ago when winning the Ashburton Open, this time settling for second after being beaten by Scott Butterick in the final. The Women’s Open – which has been really competitive in events thus far fell the way of Karlie McQueen on the weekend. She took on Aliesha Stoddart in the final and emerged victorious.
In the lower women’s grade, Katherine Moorhead picked up overall honours in the Women’s A final, beating Rosie Gibbs, who made a strong step up into the A Grade after winning the B final at the Ashburton Open. The Men’s A went the way of Flynn Brookland, who beat MacGregor Rae in the final, while Men’s B went to Rodrigo Resende, who took down Stephen Moorhead in a good match-up. In the Men’s C event, Tyrone Garrett beat Aaron Leckenby in their final, while Dan
Clemens won the Men’s D division, proving too strong for Robbie Watson in that battle. With the Hinds Open done and dusted, players will now turn their attention to this weekend’s Mayfield Open, which again is held over Friday and Saturday, out at Mayfield – the final squash weekend for April. When May rolls around, Midlands Squash will see tournaments held at Geraldine, Ashburton Celtic, Timaru and Mackenzie.
