Regional council ‘needs to recognise wider catchment’ adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

‘Smoothing’ of rates to be discussed

Flood-battered farmers dealing with an expensive cleanup could still be slapped with a steep rates rise as regional council re-visits the Long-Term Plan. Environment Canterbury’s (ECan) 2021-31 Long-Term Plan is set to be adopted at tomorrow’s meeting in Christchurch, just over a fortnight after the region was hammered by a destructive flood event. ECan’s fiscal plan which has been underscored by a potential average rates increase of either 18 or 24.5 per cent has been savaged by the rural community. Some Mid Canterbury farmers were facing an even sharper increase where rates were set to almost double. Federated Farmers’ Mid Canterbury president David Clark urged the regional council to represent the needs of the wider catchment. “They need to get back to their core function of being the Canterbury catchment board,” he said. “No other business in our society could get away with 24 per cent price rises ... so I don’t see why the regional council should be able to behave in a way that the rest of the business community aren’t.” Clark added that the recent floods highlighted that some of ECan’s core functions had broken down. Regional council is also assessing the region’s flood protection infrastructure and any remediation work required following the Canterbury floods. “We will not know the full financial or resource impacts before the Long-Term Plan is adopted, and so have not adjusted our forecast financial

An option of reducing a proposed average rates rise to 12.5 per cent will be explored by regional councillors tomorrow. But Environment Canterbury’s (ECan) Mid Canterbury representative Ian MacKenzie believes the regional council have still not get their priorities right when it comes to its spending. “We’re still spending money on too many different areas which is pretty hard to justify,” he said. A softening of a proposed rates hike over the first year will be tabled at tomorrow’s meeting. A controversial bid to bump average rates up to either 24.5 per cent or 18 per cent has sparked criticism, particularly from the region’s rural sector who were set to shoulder a higher proportion of the cost. The Government’s freshwater reforms have been highlighted as factor in the upturn in costs. Regional council is also facing a resourcing issue where there was a lack of capacity to invest in projects over the first year, MacKenzie said. “Even if we wanted to spend all the money in the first year, we don’t have the ability to,” he said. “It might look like we’ve got things a bit better. “But the fact is that we’re still spending money in areas where there isn’t the priority to spend the money, given the funding challenges we have ahead of us.” MacKenzie believed more weight needed to be given to such things as river management and pest management. ECan received 1500 submissions and held public deliberations on May 20. Mackenzie said the proposal would not cut into regional council’s expenditure, but would result in about $6 million of borrowing in the first year.

statements.” The repair bill for the May 3031 deluge is estimated to be in the “tens of millions”. An ECan spokeswoman said there was no consideration in deferring the plan adoption. “To meet Local Government Act requirements council is required to have the Long-Term Plan in place by 1 July. “Implementation of the work programmes within the plan will be scheduled from July 1 depending on the work and appropriate timing/resources.”

Federated Farmers’ Mid Canterbury president David Clark says Environment Canterbury needs to remember that it represents the wider Canterbury catchment.

Water meters will ‘dispel myths’ By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Water meter trials west of the plains will put to bed any misconceptions on the district’s water infrastructure. This is the view of Ashburton District Mayor Neil Brown as he continued to defend the move to trial meters in Methven at this week’s community board meeting. Last month during deliberations on the district’s Long-Term Plan, the Ashburton District Council agreed to “trial” water meters at more than 900 properties in Methven, believing there were significant leaks in the region’s infrastructure. Methven has been highlighted

by council as the location where the issue was more pronounced. Deputy mayor Liz McMillan explained to the community board that the wide scope of property ages in Methven was also highlighted as a factor by council. Community board member Kelvin Holmes again challenged council’s findings at the meeting around an estimated 50 per cent loss of water across the district, including a possible 65 per cent in Methven. “Mainly because the submissions that Methven gave to the council , I think it’s a bit of payback,” he said. “How did it end up being 65 per cent all of a sudden.” Council has claimed an unaccounted water loss of 65 per cent in Methven between 2019-2020

and identified a total of 51 leaks, on both public and private properties, during one-off investigations in July 2020. “It doesn’t matter, we need to fix these leaks,” Brown said. “Let’s start there and see if it’s successful and then Ashburton will get it.” Brown renewed assurances that the meters were not to charge residents for water use. Methven Community Board chairperson Dan McLaughlin, whilst supporting the need for water meters, expressed disap-

pointment that the Methven community had been unfairly pegged for its water use. “What really annoys me is that the last two years we’ve had multiple workshops on water and they keep telling us the issue is that Methven people use too much water,” he said. “Now we’ve got 65 per cent leakage, have they got more evidence-based stuff or have the assumptions changed?” In response, the mayor said the meters would “dispel the myths” once they are installed. “At the end when all the meters are on, we’re going to know.”

Flood-damaged regions hit by NZTA funding cuts By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Two of the country’s biggest roading networks, still reeling from flood damage, are facing a near combined $10 million shortfall. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has informed numerous councils to curb their expectations around funding with both the Ashburton and Selwyn networks not immune to funding shortfalls. But the Ashburton District Council has said the repair costs following the May 30-31 floods were still being assessed. “We do not have a figure at this stage in regards to further funding from NZTA relating to the weather event,” infrastructure services group manager Neil McCann said. The Ashburton District Council requested a total $40,927,407.80 for road maintenance and road safety promotion but was set to receive $39,101,000.

“If approved, this would have a small effect on maintaining the roading network in the district,” McCann said.

“The council’s Long-Term Plan has been adjusted to reflect the indicative funding amount.” Council’s expected expend-

iture for the 2018-2021 period is $48,490,738 with a Waka Kotahi subsidy accounting for $25,292,474.

NZTA usually funds a 51 per cent portion of district roading works. The Selwyn District Council was set to receive $7.76 million less than a requested $52.1 million it asked for. Although Selwyn’s $44.4 million marked a 10 per cent increase on what it received three years ago. Council transportation asset manager Andrew Mazey said it had allocated an additional $3 million from its own pocket over the next three years to undertake further maintenance and renewals. NZTA figures show the Ashburton District’s roading network totals 2,613.7km – consisting of 1512km of sealed road (15.2 per cent of all Canterbury’s sealed roads) and 1101.7km of unsealed roads (18.1 per cent). Selwyn has now increased to a total roading network of 2639.7km, with 1516.9km of sealed road (15.2 per cent) and 1122.8km of unsealed road (18.5 per cent).

Progress Pride flag flies high By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College is all things pride this week. The college is among those participating in the National Schools’ Pride Week, starting the celebrations off on Monday by displaying the Progress Pride flag in the school grounds. National Schools’ Pride Week is a community involvement outcome through national organisation InsideOUT, which works to make Aotearoa a safer place for all young people of minority sexualities, sexes, and genders. They worked with the Ministry of Education to create National School Pride Week. To kickstart Pride Week, Ashburton College decided Monday would be a no uniform day with students encouraged to wear clothing inspired about what they take pride in, whether it’s a favourite sports team, Idol, sexuality, or the team students play for. The school’s no uniform day required a gold coin donation, which will be donated to Qtopia, a social support network for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, takataapui, fa’afafine and all diverse/questioning (rainbow) young people in Canterbury.

Preliminary analysis by Niwa climate scientists has shown that the recent Canterbury rainfall was so extreme in some inland places that it could be expected to happen only once every 200 years. Niwa climate scientist Dr Trevor Carey-Smith said it was the long duration of the rainfall, over more than two days, rather than the short-term intensity which was exceptional. From May 29-31, Environment Canterbury’s rain gauge near Mt Somers recorded its largest

Fatal crash One person has died following a car crash near Windwhistle on Windwhistle Road State Highway 77 on Sunday. A car collided with a tree at around 2.45pm and the driver – the sole occupant of the car – was killed, police said.

Bridge closure The SH1 Ashburton River Bridge is scheduled to close tonight from 11pm to approximately 1am for NZ Transport Agency survey works. The bridge is now open to heavy vehicles (up to 50MAX and High Productivity Motor Vehicles HPMV) 24/7.

lege was organised by the student executive, student leaders and members of the school’s Pride, Individuality and Equality (PIE) Club, along with the support of staff. PIE club member and Year 13 student Jamie Rushton said they participate in the club as it creates a space that a lot of teenag-

ers, including themselves, didn’t have when they were a young teenager. Acting principal Jono Hay said that it was an easy decision for the college to support the student executive and the Pride, Individuality and Equality Club in the no uniform day. “All students get to identify

how they wish,” Hay said. The school’s uniform policy has summer and winter options for all students, as long as the full summer or winter uniform is worn. Hay said that by making it a no uniform day meant students could show pride anyway they wanted, supporting all students.

Flooding event a 1-in-200 year occurrence in places: Niwa By Jonathan Leask

In brief

48-hour rainfall event totalling 526mm. Just 10 kilometres away on the plains on the other side of Mt Somers, another gauge recorded only 310mm in the same period, which was also its largest ever total. The first cut at analysing the rainfall data for the region from that weekend suggests that the 48-hour rainfall totals that were recorded at Mt Somers, Geraldine, and Snowdon would all be expected on average only once every 200 years. The three rain gauges span 100km south-west to north-east in inland Canterbury.

“These results show how widespread this event was, although it is interesting to note that the most extreme rainfall only occurred in a relatively thin strip along the Canterbury foothills,” Dr Carey-Smith said. At places like Ashley, Oxford, Darfield and Methven, the 48hour rainfall observed was lower and reduces the expected probability of the event occurring to about once in 50 years on average. That dropped to once every 30 to 40 years for Christchurch and once every 10 years for Akaroa which recorded 250mm of rain over three days – a large amount but not unusual.

Dr Carey-Smith said that these calculations assume the probability of extreme rainfall has not altered during the past, when in reality we expect the likelihood of such events to increase due to climate change. He said that, for example, a once in 200-year event estimated using historical observations corresponds to a 0.5 per cent probability of occurring in any given year, but “if we were to take climate change into account, we would expect these odds to increase”. River flood return intervals which respond to shorter-term rainfall intensities, are still being evaluated.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment’s (MBIE) Temporary Accommodation Service (TAS) was activated on Monday following the recent flooding across the Canterbury region. They are accepting registrations from displaced residents who need assistance finding temporary accommodation. Whether you need assistance in finding temporary accommodation immediately or think you may need some help in the future, you can register via phone on 0508 754 163 or via the website www.tas.mbie.govt.nz.

Newlyweds injured in wedding day helicopter crash NZME A holidaying hospital surgeon and four stunned golfers were among those first on the scene after a helicopter carrying a newlywed couple, their wedding photographer and a pilot crashed at Terrace Downs Resort on Sunday afternoon. The wedding day horror unfolded on a fairway of the golf course at Terrace Downs Resort when the Robinson 44 came down while flying the newlyweds to a picturesque mountain spot for post-nuptial photos. Newlyweds Mahdi Zougub and Fay El Hanafy, award-winning photographer Rachel Jordan, and the pilot were all seriously hurt and rushed to Christchurch Hospital after the 3.05pm crash. Zougub and El Hanafy were being supported by members of their Al Noor Mosque community in Christchurch. Both have undergone significant surgery and remain in hospital. Jordan suffered spinal fractures, five fractured ribs, a lung laceration, fractured sternum, a fractured arm and fractured feet. She is now “up and about” – but not out of the woods yet as she faces a very uncertain future. Helicopter operator Wyndon Aviation said it had received many messages of support for

the pilot, who suffered “significant injuries to the hand, wrist, leg and back including broken bones and lacerations”. “The family of the pilot wish to express their sincere thanks to the Christchurch Hospital staff who are providing the care to not only the pilot but the other three passengers,” a spokesman said. “We also wish to record our heartfelt thanks to the first responders including the Terrace Downs staff and the emergency services who were first on the scene of the accident.” Four people playing golf near-

by were first on the scene after the helicopter came down, said Ronnie Ronalde, director of operations for CPG Hotels, which owns the resort. “Four golfers on the next green ran across. They heard a thud and ran to the fairway.” He was walking past when one of the golfers “called it in” to the resort so he jumped into a golf cart with other staff to help, arriving within minutes to discover the occupants of the Robinson 44 “conscious and talking” but in pain. “Everything happened so quick

... we were trying to look after the people till the ambulance came ... comforting them, putting blankets on them. “One [staff member] was in the helicopter, consoling [the injured].” A hospital surgeon staying at the resort also came to help, Ronalde said. “He took charge.” The helicopter crashed upright near a sand trap, but photos showed its tail had been sheared off – it came to rest several metres away tangled around a flag stick. The newlyweds were sitting

together in the back of the helicopter, behind the photographer and pilot, with the group flying to a picturesque mountain spot and had just started the planned 10-minute flight. “They’d just taken off and weren’t that high [off the ground].” The mountain photo excursion was part of the big day, with the reception for around 100 guests to follow, Ronalde said. “The whole family had come here today to have their reception, which they had out in the gardens, and part of it was for some photos to be taken. They were going up to the top of the mountain and the reception was to be afterwards.” Shocked wedding guests waiting back at the resort, including the newlyweds’ parents, had to be comforted by staff, with about 30 on duty at the time of the crash, Ronalde said. Guests were traumatised and confused, he said. “It’s a big day and all of a sudden it stops ... it’s devastating for the family, and the staff who were there, all of us. It’s quite a traumatic day. “[So] we were trying to console everyone and make them as comfortable as we can.” Some guests, unaware of what had happened, arrived at the venue only to be told by staff what had happened.”

Superstar will celebrate 50 years in Ashburton By Malcolm Hopwood

The cast of Variety Theatre Ashburton’s Jesus Christ Superstar will be part of a special season this year. The musical was the first Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice production to feature on London’s West End and it is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021. Lord Lloyd Webber has already sent his congratulations to Variety Theatre on its choice of show. While Joseph was touring as a school production before 1971, it only received its West End debut the following year. Sixty performers auditioned over the weekend before a production team of director, Roger Farr, musical director, Jo Castelow, and choreographer, Julia Bell. “We were blown away by the quality of those who auditioned, and it certainly made the decisions incredibly hard with multiple options across the princi-

Chris Woods as Judas pals,” Farr said. “We still have room for additional singers in the vocal backing choir who’ll form a backdrop to the production, being seated on raised staging throughout the performance.”

Matt Williams as Jesus The production team is also looking for four more male ensemble members. More than 30 roles have been assigned to local performers. They include Matt Williams as Jesus, Chris Woods as Judas,

Murran Carter-Buller as Mary Magdelene

Murran Carter-Buller as Mary, Oliver Livingstone as Caiaphas and Brent Gray as Pontius Pilate. Rehearsals will begin immediately with the season running from August 30 to September 5. Tickets go on sale on June 21.

Jesus Christ Superstar is produced by Variety Theatre Ashburton in association with Ashburton Trust Event Centre. Funds raised from the season will go towards both organisations.

MP launches ‘feed and seed’ fund By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg and her colleague Dale Stephens have set up a GiveaLittle Page for Cantabrians to contribute to a winter feed and seed fund. Following the devastation the floods have caused to stock reserves and pasture, particularly to winter feed reserves, the sixth generation Mid Canterbury farmer launched a fundraising effort. “Quite apart from losing animals in the flood waters, essential winter feed like fodderbeet crops have been washed away – some properties have had their silage and hay stores ruined by flooding,” Grigg said. “Where rivers have breached their banks, vital winter grazing has been destroyed and has been left caked in mud, silt, rocks, and other debris.

“Now that we are in winter, farmers haven’t a hope of restoring these back to grazing so it’s now a serious animal welfare issue – which, in turn, impacts on farmer welfare.” Long-time Christchurch resident Dale Stephens said the GiveaLittle winter feed and seed fund was a way for city people to return some of the generosity offered up by farmers to Christchurch residents during and since the 2011 earthquakes. He called on people to chip in a few dollars to support in securing emergency feedstock and seed to support the farming community. The fund will be independently administered by Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust’s support network and will be used for providing feed and seed. The fund has already received over $4500 in donations. Donate at: givealittle.co.nz/cause/manaakitanga-feed-and-seed-3

Actors play Shortland Street for students By Malcolm Hopwood

Local actors are playing Shortland Street at Ashburton Hospital to improve the bedside manner of medical students. A Dunedin company, Outstanding Performance, is engaging local actors to role model patients so medical students can be assessed. Outstanding Performance held a session at the Ashburton Hospital last week and are planning two further role model

consultations in August and October. The Dunedin company engages professionals nationwide to act as patients so medical students can practise on them, gained knowledge of how to interact and be assessed by examiner doctors. Last week the actors were involved in mock consultations where they were treated by medical students as part of their Rural Medical Immersion Programme. Managing director of outstanding performance, Jannine

Knowles, said the actors played a particular patient in a consultation and repeated it for each medical student. “One played a young mum while another was a character in her 60s who had a sore shoulder,” Knowles said. A future scenario will be a road crash where the actors will be victims at the scene. “Last week went very well, the actors were prepared and the medical students were assessed,” Knowles said. She said role modelling is particularly important for medical

students training to become doctors. It enables them to attempt various styles of communication and try out different skills. “It’s a safe place for them to learn and develop. “The actors play characters in scenarios through to patients suffering anxiety or require medical conditions explained to them. “If the students need to break bad news, then we provide them the opportunity to give things a go and learn from experience. “At the end of training as fifth year medical students, they reg-

ularly list role playing in their top three experiences during their time at Otago Medical School.” Outstanding Performance also works with midwives, social work students, nurses and occupational therapists. A further client is New Zealand Police where the company provides actors to help police with their negotiating skills. Knowles enjoys working with Ashburton actors. “They have experience in performance and I’m really impressed with the quality of their acting,” she said.

Photobook showcases district’s cultural diversity A special book of photographs showcasing the cultural diversity of Ashburton District residents has been unveiled to the 42 people who star in it. Images of the 42 were taken by local photographer Emmily Harmer before the Level 4 Covid lockdown last year and they have since been turned into a unique book called Hakatere Home & Heritage. The book was presented to some of those involved at a special gathering at the Ashburton Museum. Some of the photo subjects are home grown and some have come from countries like Fiji, Tokelau, Mexico, and the Philippines. Those who are featured, and their families, were invited to bring food of their home country to the book unveiling and be part of a Kiwi pot-luck dinner on Friday. Some of the dishes included lamb mince samosas (South African Indian), Maori fried bread, taro and coconut cream (Toke-

lau), custard cake (Filipino), nachos (Guatemala) and beef and parsnip stew with sourdough bread (British). The photobook was designed as a cultural initiative under the Ashburton District Council’s

Welcoming Communities programme, to celebrate the district’s diverse ethnicities. Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown said the Hakatere Home & Heritage project was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the com-

munity and share stories. “Alongside the photos, there is information about the people who are featured in the book.” Seeing their stories and photos in print was a proud moment for those in attendance.

“They each share why they call our district home and the significance of their clothing; it’s a fascinating project that celebrates our people,” Brown said. The stories and photos of those featured in the book will also become part of an exhibition at the museum that is scheduled to run from July to September this year. Participants will also be invited to take part in Ashburton Museum workshops during the school holidays in July. Two copies of the book have also been deposited with the National Library of New Zealand. One will go to the Alexander Turnbull Library for its national research and heritage collection. The second will go to the general New Zealand and Pacific collection. Roughly 150 copies of the hardcover A4 book have been printed and digital copies were also archived. Their stories and images will be a time capsule for the Ashburton District, and New Zealand.

Clergy offers opportunity to let off steam By Malcolm Hopwood

If you want to press the valve on your pressure cooker and let off steam, then members of the Ashburton Christian Ministers’ Association are providing you with the opportunity. Last month, a group of locals, including the president of the Ministers’ Association, Rev Heather Kennedy, attended a retreat at Hanmer Springs and experienced a two-hour reflective session on the neglected art of lament. They felt it was so valuable they’re providing the opportunity for the community to “express their emotions and let off steam”

at St David’s Church in Allenton, on July 10 from 9.30 to 11.30am. “We felt we should offer it to a wider audience of people throughout Ashburton district and provide a safe place for them to reflect and lament,” Kennedy said. “It could be in the form of reflection or for people who’ve bottled things up and are ready to explode.” “Following the floods and disruption, there’ll be people who could be emotionally drained and it’s an opportunity for them to come and share what they’re feeling.” Rev Kennedy said the practice of lamenting, of a healthy expression of grief and a wide range of emotions such as an-

ger, frustration and pain, to God, has been considered too sad or negative for the church, so this practice has been neglected over many years. “At the retreat we looked at songs, scripture and liturgy to find ways we could lament on behalf of a dying church and in response to events in our lives and in the community, in the past and more recently,” she said. Rev Kennedy said the church’s safe space will give people an opportunity to come and grieve, express and engage with events using a variety of options such as writing, drawing, crafts, lighting a candle, praying, singing, crying, yelling, sitting quietly or having a cup of tea or coffee.

Sixtieth anniversary beckons for Variety Theatre By Malcolm Hopwood

The Ashburton Operatic’s first production was The Boy Friend. Its latest, Jesus Christ Superstar, will be its 92nd. In the years in between, Elaine and Glenn Vallender are preparing a publication to be launched at Variety Theatre Ashburton’s 60th anniversary celebrations next month. Entitled In The Spotlight II, it will update the 50th anniversary publication they prepared for Ashburton Operatic (now Variety Theatre) 10 years ago. With the exception of 2020, due to Covid-19, the society has presented two and sometimes three shows a year. “Mostly it’s two, as three applied great pressure on backstage, wardrobe, technical and set construction crews,” Elaine said. About 400 invitations have been sent out to existing and former members of the society inviting them to the event on July 2. Elaine spent 30 hours immersed in electoral rolls, phone directories and on Facebook to try and track down Ashburtonians who spent part of their lives on and

The deadline date for responses is June 21, and the Vallenders are hoping registrations will flow in

over the next few days. July 2 consists of a mix and mingle in the afternoon, meeting old friends and inspecting scrapbooks and posters from the last 60 years. There’ll be a Power Point pres-

entation dating back to the 1960s and an anniversary cake will be cut. In the evening there’s dinner and entertainment on the stage of the Ashburton Trust Event Centre.

Elaine said the Variety Theatre Ashburton has been a great springboard for performers who’ve gone on to further careers involved in the arts. She highlights such names as Tainui Kuru, Angela Johnson, Jane Leonard, Kim Bradley and Kevin Soster, directors include Robert Young, David Williams, Alice Solis and Gavin Templeton. “The reunion is really important to maintain the connections, celebrate the past and present and catch up with former Ashburton Operatic or Variety Theatre members,” she said. “We’re looking at an alumni to keep the connection going and invite them all to Superstar.” Elaine has had decades of involvement with the society. She may have started in the chorus, but she’s been prompt, production manager, publicist, paid administrator, orchestral member and musical director for many of the shows. “For me, it’s reliving the past, reminiscing about former shows and the people we’ve worked with,” she said. In the Spotlight II is part of the registration package or, for those who can’t attend, available for sale through Variety Ashburton.

Brass band comes to town By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

There was something for all ages at the Ashburton Musical Club public concert on Sunday. The concert alongside Christchurch’s Nor’west Brass Band was a “feast of great music,” Ashburton Musical Club member Ted Wood said. Wood applauded the brass band’s conductor Matt Toomata who managed the band that played with precision and attention to detail. “The vigour and enthusiasm of their music communicated with the large audi-

ence,” he said. He also praised the band’s high level of performance and the number of skilled, young musicians. “Mia Yee played a Wonderful World on flugel horn with a purity of sound that was a privilege to listen to,” Wood said. “The cornet section, with several young musicians, played Cornets A Go Go, and shared their enjoyment with all present.” It was an afternoon of talent and skilled performances and songs the audience would know and enjoy. The horn section got to showcase their talent when the group played The Beatles Song Hey Jude, Wood said. “The club had a wonderful afternoon,” he said.

Let the cameras roll By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz

L

ights, camera, Ardern. That’s where the hopes for the controversial movie about the Christchurch mosque terror attack may have ended. The film, They Are Us, which was apparently set to focus on Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s response to the March 15 mosque terror attacks two years ago, sadly may be over more quickly than it takes to order a choc-top ice cream at your local cinema. A petition led by the Muslim community attracted 60,000 signatures in opposition to the film. And that was clearly enough for its Kiwi producer Philippa Campbell to do a runner, saying the project was still “too raw’’ for her to be involved with. Look, I get that, but I dearly hope it’s not the end of the proposed movie. Why? I think there is such an inspirational story to tell. It would be a story about how tens of thousands of New Zealanders of all walks of life and ages turned out to show their love and their solidarity with the Muslim community of Christchurch after the massacre that left 51 dead. And, in doing so, how that response in many ways helped to start to wash away the pain, anguish and blood that had been spilt. It was a response to a tragedy that astonished the world, with Ardern leading the way in arguably her finest hour. In my book, that’s a story worth sharing, but at the moment in many Kiwis’ eyes it’s deemed insensitive and too explosive to contemplate seeing it on the big screen. It’s just too soon, the grief for victims’ families still too raw. Words like tasteless and opportunistic have been hurled the way of the movie makers. It’s true that it hasn’t been that long since families and friends of the victims had to face legal proceedings against the perpetrator, Brenton Tarrant. So perhaps it is too soon. In comparison, the film about the Aramoana massacre near Dunedin, Out of the Blue, was made 16 years after the real-life event. The 60,000 petition signatures opposed to the movie is also telling, isn’t it? Well, perhaps but that’s just 1.5 per cent of New Zealand’s total population. I would love to know what the other 98.5 per cent of the population thought. Either way, this was an event, an awful tragedy that tainted our nation’s reputation and is now very much part of our history, and that cannot be changed. There will probably never be a right time for it to be turned into a movie for those personally connected. There is no standard time period for grief. That we all agree on, but it remains a story that one day should be told and captured on the big screen. It would be a story about how New Zealand showed the world how to react to a terror attack that shocked and rocked our nation but not our spirit. I think the world would love to see that.

OPINION 11

Two weeks on – supporting our region By Jo Luxton

RANGITATA MP

W

hen news started rolling in that Canterbury had a red warning weather alert in place, I’m not quite sure we realised the damage that would be caused in our region. With a State of Emergency declared – widespread and devastating damage to farms, properties, roads and bridges, as well as evacuations and detours – we have been through it all these last few weeks. We know that our farmers have borne the brunt of the flood, and that the clean-up job is monumental. That is why the Government has activated Enhanced Taskforce Green in response and unlocked another $500,000 to help with the clean-up. This will mean that jobseekers can be hired to help with clearing debris, clearing fences and buildings and supporting general clean up, which is so desperately needed all over the electorate. Across our region, damage assessments are being carried out and the Ministry of Social Development will work closely with agencies on the ground to help identify the need for Enhanced Taskforce Green support. It is expected that workers will be on the ground helping with

Having to go out in foul weather and getting drenched is just part of the job description for an MP. the clean-up later this month. Our local farmers and growers can self-register for clean up help through https://arcg.is/0Sbj5W0 and jobseekers interested in helping with the flood recovery can register their interest by phoning 0800-559-009. Our rural communities and farmers are going to need all hands on deck and this is a flood recovery measure that I was

speaking with Minister Damien O’Connor about in the early days of the flooding and am happy to see it being implemented. A huge thank you also to different local groups who are already supporting our region with clean up – to the Farmy Army, the Student Volunteer Army and every volunteer that is helping, thank you – your hard work does not go unnoticed.

It is a relief to see all traffic (except for overweight permit vehicles) back on the Ashburton Bridge, 24 hours a day. In the last few days KiwiRail has reopened the Timaru to Ashburton main trunk line following damage from the floods also. The floods have shown us just how fragile our local roading networks are, and this is something that I am relaying to the Minister

of Transport, Michael Wood. Understandably, there have been a lot of discussions around the need for a second bridge in Ashburton. I absolutely support a second bridge, and once the council has completed the business case and has a design and proposal prepared, I will strongly advocate for extra government funding. It’s important that we get the business case right and I do understand the community’s frustration in how long it has taken to get to this point. However, it is absolutely a priority for me, and for this government. My focus at this stage is that we are doing everything possible to ensure progress on the bridge is being made. To date, the council has not asked for any funding from the Government, and the business case study is expected to be finished at the end of this month. Please don’t hesitate to contact my office if you need support – you can call 03-339-1030 or email rangitatamp@parliament. govt.nz We have a long way to recovery, but we are committed to working alongside the community and getting the work done.

Change of underwear on Rakaia Bridge By Malcolm Hopwood

I

can always remember the Hopwood Vauxhall hanging a right and there was the Rakaia Bridge. It wasn’t any bridge. It was the gateway to Christchurch, even if it took another half an hour to reach Hornby. It was the magic moment when you left Mid Canterbury and you could almost taste the fish and chips at Fail’s Restaurant and imagine playing with toys on Hay’s roof. It was also the longest bridge in New Zealand and, as a child in the cold back seat, you couldn’t see its end. It was over a mile away. You guessed the number of cars you’d pass heading the other way and hold a competition with your parents. They were too busy driving. Ten years later, when you had your provisional licence, you’d see if you could hold your breath while driving over the Rakaia. You’d almost black out at the Leeston turnoff.

It looks harmeless enough during daytime, but at night the Rakaia River bridge takes on a sinister appearance. The car would wobble across the white line as you gasped for breath on the far side. Dismay was when you encountered a truck or van, or caravan half-way over, travelling at 50km/h. Now it takes me three breaths to get over. It almost took a change of underwear on Sunday night. We were journeying back from

Christchurch about 7pm. It was raining, dark and the spray from the car in front and approaching big rigs made me grab St Christopher. It was scary. What disturbed me the most was the lack of lighting. Not one Osram bulb from one end to the other. Rakaia Bridge prides itself as being the closest thing to the inside of a humpback’s mouth.

The designer wasn’t generous when the bridge was built. Either cars were smaller or we were narrower. So, when you cross in the dark, squint into the glare of oncoming monsters and focus on your side of the white line, you have little idea how close you are to the side of the bridge. You’ll soon know when you bounce off Her Royal Greyness. I spent nanoseconds looking to see if the New Zealand Transport Agency had managed one halogen or even painted the grey side of the bridge white. But nothing. You grit your teeth, follow the rear reds of the car in front and know it will eventually end. Afterwards, you wonder why it wasn’t lit. Did the Ashburton District Council forget to tell NZTA because the bridge links us with Selwyn or Selwyn complained it’s not their problem because the traffic is leaving them? This week, I’m buying a couple of light bulbs and half a dozen batteries at the supermarket and sending them to the Government, asking them to erect them

Your bridge say Tell us what you think when crossing the Rakaia Bridge at night, especially when it’s wet and dark and when a monster truck is travelling towards you in the other lane. Do you feel safe on a tight bridge with no lights? Email: editorial@ theguardian.co.nz Or tell us what you think on the Ashburton Guardian’s Facebook page at either end. Selwyn’s will be 60 watt and Ashburton’s 100 watt because it might direct them to fix the infrastructure in Mid Canterbury and fast-track a second Ashburton crossing.

Fourth M. bovis case in six weeks By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Mycoplasma bovis eradication programme has defended how long it can take to confirm new cases, as Mid Canterbury records yet another active case connected to a cluster which first appeared in the district last spring. The new case is a beef property. It is the latest of four to be confirmed in Mid Canterbury in the last six weeks. The others were grazing, lifestyle and beef properties. Of the seven active cases nationally, six are in the Ashburton District with the other one in Selwyn. All, apart from the long-term Five Star Beef feedlot case, are connected to the Canterbury cluster. Last week, two previously infected dairy farms in the Selwyn district were confirmed clear of the disease. Both properties have been cleared, cleaned and able to get back to normal farming activities. Mid Canterbury has recorded far more cases of M. bovis than any other district, with 47 properties confirmed with the cattle disease out of the 266 properties nationally, almost 18 per cent of the total. Of these, 41 have been cleared, able to restock and return to normal farming practices.

M. bovis programme director Stuart Anderson said that with each newly-found infected property, all associated cattle movements from and to the property and risk events like shared milk were established and investigated, along with the risk of contact between cattle on each neighbouring property. The M. bovis team work through each of these risks as quickly as possible to lock down and test cattle at-risk of infection.

“The M. bovis programme is actively looking for those few remaining pockets of infected properties. “As with previous years, we expect that we could find more over spring. It’s a time when animals are under stress from calving and we will have 2019-born heifers entering the milking platform for the first time. “The routine screening of samples of each dairy supplier’s bulk tank milk for indications of infection gives us confidence

The M. bovis programme is actively looking for those few remaining pockets of infected properties. In some cases, it can take a lot longer to work through, particularly where there have been numerous further movements of these cattle to other farms, and where NAIT and farm records are incomplete or complicated. “For just one property alone, it is not unusual to look into hundreds of cattle movements and risk events,” Anderson said. “To confirm a property is infected, generally at least two rounds of testing needs to be scheduled with the farmer, with rounds at least three weeks apart to allow for any new infection to provide reliable results.

that M. bovis is not widespread in the dairy sector and contributes significantly to the progress made towards eradicating the disease from New Zealand,” Anderson said. M. bovis was first detected in New Zealand in July 2017, after cattle in a South Canterbury dairy herd began displaying symptoms of a novel disease. Since then, 171,427 cattle have been culled and $205.4 million paid in compensation to farmers in a national bid to eradicate the disease. Nationally, 259 farms have been cleared of the disease.

Carrfields appoint two new directors Ashburton-based rural services company Carrfields has appointed two new independent directors as it seeks to boost its food and fibre divisions. The new directors are former Zespri chief executive Lain Jager and chartered accountant Ken Forrest. Carrfields managing director Craig Carr said the appointment of Jager, a highly experienced professional in New Zealand primary industries, was in line with Carrfields’ strategy to increase its investment into food and natural fibre innovation. “Lain’s appointment as a director of Carrfields is tremendously exciting. “We are now at a critical time for New Zealand’s primary sector, with our country poised to become a leading innovator in food and natural fibre production which will help address some of the biggest issues facing the world,” Carr said. Carrfields is involved in a venture pioneering products made from industrial hemp and wool

as well as blends of the two fibres, including clothing, carpets, food packaging and industrial applications. Jager had a demonstrated history of delivering value in the food industry, Carr said. During Jager’s tenure at Zespri from 2008 to 2017, the company grew strongly through the impact and recovery from the bacterial vine disease Psa, grower returns doubled and the share price grew from $1 to $8. Since Zespri, Jager has been involved in a range of investment projects in tourism and agribusiness, as well as serving as a director on several boards. He was also the chairman of the Primary Sector Council, a government organisation which produced the Fit for a Better World Report focused on the New Zealand food and fibre sector during its two years of operation. Forrest is an experienced director, senior executive and leader with experience in construction, wholesale/distribution, agribusiness, engineering and several oth-

er sectors. He is skilled in strategic and operational planning, with experience in many areas including risk management, systems improvement, corporate transformations/ turnarounds and technology. Forrest has served as chief financial officer for Carrfields on a contract basis since mid-2019, following 18 years at Arrow International, where he held positions including chief executive and chief financial officer. Forrest’s broad corporate experience and expertise in strategic operational oversight would be a great asset to the Carrfields’ board, Carr said. A family company founded 40 years ago by Greg and Glenys Carr, Carrfields employs about 485 people in New Zealand, Australia, India, Ethiopia, the United States and United Arab Emirates. After buying stakes in several rural businesses Carrfields’ portfolio now includes wool, machinery, irrigation, contracting, grain and seed, livestock, technology and Winseed.

Livestock trading firms moving in together

Graham Brown

Livestock broking firms Hazlett and Peter Walsh & Associates (PW&A) are joining forces to become a broader, South Island-wide operation. PW&A was established nearly 20 years ago and, since then, has grown to be a significant and highly respected provider of services to South Island farmers. Succession planning by Peter and Karen Walsh, and the PW&A board, identified Hazlett as being the company which is closest in culture to PW&A and best placed to build on what the PW&A team has achieved over the years. “Particularly with Hazlett’s commitment to putting people first

aligning so closely with PW&A’s ethos of putting a human face to its work, and the fact that both companies are family businesses focused on building long-lasting client relationships,” Peter Walsh said. As Hazlett and PW&A are now, the new structure will be family-owned and committed to continuing the personal service both companies are known for. Hazlett will acquire all of PW&A’s operations on 1 July 2021, except for Peter Walsh & Associates Finance (PWAF), which Peter Walsh will retain. Hazlett chair Graham Brown said his company and PW&A al-

ready know each other well, having jointly developed and operated the Coalgate Saleyards. “Peter has jokingly described us as ‘friendly competitors’ but I think our shared focus on people and a commitment to do the best for our clients makes this development more of a win-win than any sort of truce,” Brown said. “The two companies have mutual respect for each other, we are both family-owned, we already work well together and we are going to build on that for our clients who will enjoy the benefits of working with a company which operates throughout the South Island – and into the North Island – and which

provides insurance, agri-supplies, funding and procurement services, as well as livestock broking.” Peter, who with and Karen Walsh will continue to be involved in the business, said it will be the end of an era for the PW&A team but Brown stated that all the PW&A team members have been offered positions. “Other than everyone wearing the Hazlett shirts, we expect things to run as they are with no disruption for our loyal clients. “The billing systems used by both companies will remain as they are, and clients will continue to deal with the same people they are dealing with now,” Brown said.

Far conference a likely sell-out The Foundation for Arable Research’s conference later this month looks like it will again be sold out. The biennial conference, being held on June 28 and 29 at Lincoln University has the theme Responsible, Profitable, Arable. Organiser Anna Heslop said registrations closed this week and numbers were mirroring those of FAR’s 2019 conference when demand for seats outstripped supply. “We can only seat 300 people in the venue at Lincoln University, and as much as we hated turning people away, it’s what we had to do last time.” The conference is divided into three indoor sessions, based on FAR’s research themes: future-proofing arable production, responsible arable production and maximising arable profitability. There is also a half-day field trip and a conference dinner. Keynote presentations include addressing how to feed New Zealand without feeling guilty, by Gavin Kerr of AGCARM. Talks on meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets by NZ Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre director Dr Harry Clark and the meteoric rise of plant protein – an Asian focus, by Jade Gray of Plant Tech Nation are already attracting a lot of interest. In the general programme, growers will also be keen to learn more about progress with cereal endophytes (John Caradus, Grasslanz), novel tools for slug pests (Rory McDonnell, Oregon State University) and the conclusions from six years of fluxmeter monitoring on arable farms across New Zealand (Diana Mathers, FAR).

Future-proofing arable production is one of the themes at the Foundation for Arable Research’s conference at Lincoln University. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Perfect conditions for vintage ploughing match There were no concerns about hard ground after the recent heavy rains at the the Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club ploughing match at Rob Butterick’s property in Wakanui on Saturday. President Colin Boon (left) said they had much better conditions than the harder, dry soils they faced earlier in the season, making for a great day for the 24 entries across the four classes. “The best thing was we had three relatively new people competing and we know of a fourth looking to get involved soon too.” The match was the club’s last for the season, but the members will be keeping the ploughs sharpened as this weekend it is the Methven ploughing match at Ross Richard’s property in Highbank, with Rakaia hosting its match on Sunday.

OPINION

No point crying over spilt milk . . . By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A

wise man once said to me that one of life’s greatest lessons is to win without boasting and to lose without excuses. It was that important to him, it was emblazoned on the wall of his smoko room at his place of work – a constant reminder that things don’t always go how you want them too. Getting complacent and expecting things to happen all of the time can become one of life’s greatest downfalls. Usually spurned from continued success, arrogance and expectation are a dangerous combination, especially when the expected doesn’t eventuate. It’s been an interesting few days to be a supporter of anoth-

er Super Rugby franchise in the heart of the Crusaders region. I’ve been abused, as though it was my fault the Crusaders lost. I’ve been told the whole competition is a rort and that the Crusaders have been done in by rugby powers who don’t want them to be successful and most surprisingly, I’ve even been told that because of my allegiance I’m a waste of space and should move out of the region. Dead serious. It happened. Well, public service announcement folks, it’s just a game of rugby alright, calm it right down. Sure, it’s unfortunate that the Crusaders have missed out on being in the final this week, but the best course of action is to build a bridge over those festering and poisonous bags of emotion and get over it. The sun will still come up tomorrow and the Crusaders will

live to fight another day – and probably in the process win another umpteen Super Rugby titles. Yes, I know you didn’t lose a game and it’s hard to fathom an unbeaten side missing out on the big dance, but the two teams who finished above you didn’t lose a game either – but they did manage to score more points, which ultimately led to them getting a finals spot while the Crusaders didn’t. I’ve long defended the passion and enthusiasm that’s created by the Crusaders juggernaut. It’s good healthy banter for someone like me who cheers for another. But this weekend has really opened the eyes up a bit to what it must be like to those who constantly look from the outside in. I’ll stop short of saying that there’s a percentage of red and

black supporters who seem to think they can behave like a pack of spoiled brats who just had their favourite toy taken off them by their parents, but there’s a fair few I’ve discovered from engagement over the weekend who come mighty close to fitting the bill. It takes no less energy to be humble in the wake of an undesired outcome. Sure, we might get upset and downtrodden when life doesn’t go how we want it to, but so often it’s more about how you react to that moment in time that defines who you are. It’s applicable to all aspects of sporting life. Be it in the stands among thousands of other people at a major sporting event, or even right at the other end of the spectrum when you’re watching youth sport on a Saturday morning.

Battle lines drawn By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

This one might just go right down the wire. Talk last week of Rakaia’s Sarah O’Reilly making an 11th hour bid to run down fellow Mid Cantabrian, John Morrison in the New Zealand Junior Drivers’ Championship, took a strong step forward at the weekend with O’Reilly netting four winners to narrow the margin to just six wins. And while his nearest rival made big inroads, Morrison kept his winning run of form going too, and also produced one of the most emotion-charged moments of the racing season anywhere in Australasia in the process. O’Reilly, as predicted, had a strong night at Dunedin’s Forbury Park at the Thursday night meeting where she netted two winners, but then backed that up at Harness HQ, Addington, on Friday night with another

brace of victories to move to 45 wins for the season. She was victorious with Zealous Spur and Franco Hoffman, and then picked up wins with Sugar Me and Smokin Annie on Friday night to really push her cause, with six weeks of the season remaining. Morrison managed two wins himself for the weekend – his 50th win for the season coming on Friday night – but in anyone’s eyes it might just have been the most important and poignant of his entire career. As he strode past the line with Time In A Bottle at Addington, Morrison hoisted his whip into the air as he paid respect to his No.1 supporter, young Charlotte McLeod, who passed away last week after a battle with cancer. A visibly emotional Morrison returned to scale and saluted with his helmet, which features a sticker, designed by Charlotte, of her name – which has now taken pride of place on his familiar gold cap. “Everything about this season has been for her,” Morrison said of Charlotte. With a strong connection to Charlotte’s wider family, Morrison said being able to acknowledge such a big part of his life at such a trying time was special.

“Family is the main thing; this family have supported me all of my life, and without them I wouldn’t be here,” he said after Friday’s win. Morrison’s second win for the weekend came when he drove Take After Me on Sunday. While claiming his third successive New Zealand title would be the perfect way to acknowledge and remember Charlotte, Morrison was quick to deflect praise to Sarah for her recent successes on the track. “She’s been driving great races lately and getting a lot of success, which she deserves. “The good thing is, that if she does manage to catch me, it’s staying in Mid Canterbury, which is good.” O’Reilly gets a golden chance to narrow the gap even further this weekend, with Morrison spending the week on the sidelines after being suspended on Thursday night. Morrison will miss two meetings at Addington and one at Invercargill, while O’Reilly, considering her hot current form will be in high demand at all three.

Surprise start shortlived for McLeod A late inclusion into the starting line-up for the Crusaders on Saturday night turned into a nightmare for young Mid Cantabrian, Dallas McLeod. McLeod was thrust into the starting line-up just hours before kick-off in the match against the Rebels, as a replacement for David Havili. His appearance only lasted 14 minutes, however, before he was carried from the field with a concussion, after putting in a big defensive effort while the Rebels were on attack early in the match.

In brief Timaru placings Mid Canterbury-trained gallopers had a strong day out at Timaru on Sunday, despite heading back down the main road without a success next to their name. Dior Rosetta for Matt and Sarah Smith finished second early in the day then Standrews Masonic was third for Cheri Trembath later in the day. Jockey Jason Laking was unable to get a win on the board, but also found his way into the placings with Mr Hass and The Buffer.

Rogie in the zone Mid Canterbury trotter Rogie Falls continued his good run of recent form with another strong showing at Addington on Sunday, where he claimed the fourth win of his career. The Brent White-trained runner made the most of a saloon run along the fence to win the day’s junior driver event in the hands of Sheree Tomlinson and continue a good run for owners, and breeders, Dave and Gaye Luke. The win also took White to within two of his career-best season. His 27 wins is just shy of his personal best of 29 set three seasons ago.

A Birthday Deel South Canterbury trainer Len Stewart got his birthday wish when his stable star Take The Deel stormed to victory in the Dunstan Horsefeeds Waimate Cup at the Timaru meeting on Sunday. Stewart, who began his association with racing as a 14-year-old riding in saddle trots in the Waikato in the 1940s, will turn 89 on Tuesday, and has found a new lease on life with the hardy five-year-old son of Dundeel. The $1200 gavelhouse. com purchase took the step up to open company with aplomb as he produced a strong staying effort in the hands of veteran rider Terry Moseley to make it three victories in his last four starts. “I wasn’t really expecting it today as I had my concerns about the tricky track tripping him up,” Stewart said.

Southern comfort RUGBY

By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

“By Christ, a few people around here needed that.” Grinning from ear-to-ear, fist still clenched into a ball of satisfaction, a lone Southern rugby supporter made his way back to his vehicle on Saturday afternoon in Hinds abuzz with excitement. He’d just watched his local club side do what very few Mid Canterbury sides have ever been able to do by winning the Combined Country Rugby final, putting a rare highlight on an otherwise murky and wet few weeks around the wider district. Talking to himself, or anyone who was close enough to hear him, his thoughts echoed around the Hinds Domain throughout the huge day for the Southern Rugby Club. Farmers, their families and friends, coming together and pushing all the troubles of the past few weeks behind them. It was an occasion to mark all occasions. From the tunnel of junior players from within the Southern club who looked up as their senior side ran through the middle of them before the match to the roars of the final whistle, you couldn’t have scripted it much better. Unless perhaps you made it a little easier on the ticker for those supporting the home side, of course. You see, after 10 minutes, it was Southbridge’s game to lose, yet no-one probably would have predicted that’s exactly what they’d end up doing. As Southern fumbled their way about the paddock and copped the long arm of the referee on a number of occasions, the visitors looked slick, like a finely-polished machine and at times it felt as if the floodgates were about to open, and they would bury their hosts in a demolition. But if we’ve learned one thing about Southern this season, it’s that they are gritty. They make up for their few misgivings with passion and determination and ultimately, it was that which crept them back into the match – coupled with a bit of individual brilliance from one of the finds of the season. Down 0-10 and on the back foot for most of the second half, Southern looked in trouble. They were getting front foot ball, but were going nowhere with it. Penalty attempts that on every other day of the week would have sailed through the posts went wide, and attempts to break

Logan Bonnington on the charge for Southern.

through the defensive line set by Southbridge were futile. So, what do you do? You throw the ball to the guy who’s scored a bulk of your tries this season and hope he can deliver. His name? Petero Tuwai. From seemingly nothing and with a wall of Southbridge defence in front of him, he took a ball in the 33rd minute and somehow got around those marking him. It was blink and you miss it stuff, and that’s effectively what Southbridge did, and by the time they realised what was afoot, Tuwai was dotting down near the

post and Southern were on the board. George Williams added the extras, his only points on a forgettable day with the boot, but Southbridge responded quickly with a penalty of their own and looked set to wind down the clock on the first half with a six-point lead and only minutes to play. But something ignited in Southern, and they turned the match on its head. Led by the inspirational Hamish MacKenzie, they became the dominant force, and when Scott Vessey crashed over with a minute to play in the first half, they narrowed the gap to one, but still weren’t content. Williams found a gap after the kick-off and punched through it like he was Christian Cullen, throwing the ball wide where it went through a few sets of hands, before McKenzie found himself in clear space and dashed to the line. Advantage Southern – up 17-13 at the break and a stunned Southbridge regathered in a huddle. The second half started the wrong way for the hosts with Southbridge, refocused after losing their way late in the first, crossed over to grab the lead back off Southern. That play gave rise to a battle of the heavy hitters, as both sides threw everything including the kitchen sink at

each other in a brutal display of rugby. Something had to give eventually, and with their vocal home supporters behind them it was Southern who broke the deadlock with 10 minutes to play, when the ball was spread wide and found the hands of a waiting Tuwai, who was again too good for anyone trying to stop him as he dived over to score his second for the match and put Southern back in front, 22-18 with the clock ticking. That try saw the panic button pushed, but try as they might Southbridge couldn’t make the most of any opportunity given – largely thanks to stoic Southern defence, which stood tall as the clock ticked down, and the final whistle blew much to the delight of the majority of the hundreds who had lined the ground for the match. And thus, Southern were crowned deserving champions. A fitting result for a little corner of our district that’s endured a few weeks from hell. And despite the trying times of late, the cockies and their families jumped back into their vehicles late on Saturday afternoon with a noticeable spring in their step. Even just for a moment, sport had shone through as a reason to smile. It’s funny what can turn around a period of bad fortune sometimes, isn’t it?

NETBALL

A round of intrigue By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

It might still be the early stages of Mid Canterbury Netball’s second round, but there’s plenty on the line tomorrow night when teams return to the court for the second week of play. And after quite a few weeks of predictable results across the Premier 1 competition, there has to be an upset in the mix somewhere, and this week might just prove to be the week to provide it. Who it comes from is anyone’s guess, but the closeness of this year’s competition would suggest it will only take one of the season’s big three teams so far to have a bad night at the office and their rivals will be right there, ready to pounce on any opportunity afforded to them. Naturally, most will look to the last game of tonight’s round when defending champions Hampstead take on United in what should be a classic match. When the two sides met earlier in the season, United stopped Hampstead’s more than a yearlong winning streak and looked the team to beat this season before they too suffered a shock defeat. So, Hampstead won’t be lacking for any motivation ahead of the match. Last time United were able to

limit the ball fed to Hampstead’s sharpshooters with an impressive defensive push that at times left their rivals answerless, providing the key to any match against Hampstead. That should fall again on the shoulders of Abi Lunn and Sammy Holden, who will need to be on song as they have been most of the season. Before that match, Methven and Celtic will lock horns in the night’s opening encounter in what could also be a close match. Methven were humbled by Hampstead last week, but traditionally bounce out of a loss with a bit of gusto, so Celtic will be wary of the threat they pose. In the middle game, Southern get a chance to get their second round up and running when they take on newcomers Mt Somers, in a match which, if as close as the promotion/relegation one at the start of the season which went to extra time, should also be an intriguing match. In Premier 2, Ashburton College’s two sides were set to play last night, while Southern take on Hampstead and Methven play Celtic during the traditional Thursday night slot. Down in Premier 3, Methven play Ashburton College 10A while the College 18A side will do battle with Mt Somers. Thursday night’s first games begin at 6.15pm.

The experience Abi Lunn (jumping) may prove vital tomorrow night if United are to roll Hampstead for a second time this season in Premier netball. PHOTO MATT MARKHAM 200521-MM-002

Forget raindrops, Mid Canterbury rained goals at the weekend. On soccer pitches across the Canterbury region, Mid Canterbury’s senior football sides went on goal-scoring sprees, with the five senior sides who played on the weekend across Saturday and Sunday accounting for a combined 29 goals, without a defeat in sight. And, after a tough few weeks for some teams on the football pitch, it was a weekend worth celebrating. At the top of the heap were the Mid Canterbury United Seniors, who came out on the right side of a high-scoring match at the Ashburton Domain against Burwood Football Club, winning 6-5 in a thriller of a match. On results this season, it was a match Mid Canterbury shouldn’t have been a chance in. With a 50 per cent win record, Burwood sit in the top four of the New World Championship, while Mid Canterbury are at the bottom – but as they’ve promised to do all season, the blue-and-reds knocked over a leading side in a shock result. Again, they were spearheaded by Luke Martin, whom after scoring four the week earlier, grabbed a hat-trick in the victory to keep his remarkable goal-scoring run going through the season. Another frequent flyer on the scoring sheet, Millar McLauchlan kept up his appearances as well with a brace, while Wesley Torres grabbed the side’s sixth. It’s lifted Mid Canterbury United’s chances of escaping the bottom of the standings considerably, and if they can cause another upset this week when they travel to Christchurch to take on Western, they’ll do exactly that. Also looking to keep off the bottom of the table were the Mid Canterbury United Senior Reserves, and they helped their efforts with a 5-all draw in the

curtain-raiser before the seniors match, also against Burwood. But things didn’t start well. Mid Canterbury found themselves down 0-3 after about 10 minutes of the match before they warmed into their task to work back into the match. Oskar McLauchlan and Josh Burrowes off the bench both grabbed two goals each in the comeback, while Elkan Powley also made his way onto the scoring sheet. Out in Methven, the Division One side pushed themselves to

equal top of the table in a hotly-contested competition when they beat Halswell 4-2 in front of their home crowd on Saturday afternoon. With the bye looming this week, it was a strong finish for the Methven side before their break, and they’ll return refreshed and ready to keep pressing on in two weeks. Mid Canterbury United’s Division 4 side were also in good form, grabbing an important 2-0 victory over Hornby on Saturday to maintain their position near

the top of the division after seven rounds. Nic Ralston grabbed both of the side’s goals as they bounced back from a shock draw the week prior. Then on Sunday, the best was saved until last as the Mid Canterbury United Women’s side put on yet another clinic, as they demolished Hornby 12-1 in a goal fest. After six games, the side has four wins next to their name, with an impressive 37 goals for the season – the same as the com-

petition-leading Western Rebels side, who are yet to be defeated. Continuing the good run for local sides on the weekend, Mid Canterbury United’s 15th grade side snared a 3-1 win to keep their unbeaten run going when they took down Nomads in a hard-fought match. Muzzmmil Khan grabbed two while Xavier Parris snared the other.

INDOOR BOWLS

Strong start for bowlers Leaders toppled By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s indoor bowling contingent made a strong start to the annual national championships in Blenheim over the weekend, with a number of players going deep into the knockout stage of the singles. Simon Thomas produced the best result of the locals, making his way into the semi-final of the illustrious event, before being ousted by the eventual beaten finalist, and fellow New Zealand representative, Sheree Holmes. Thomas had taken down a number of elite players to get through the semi-final but wasn’t quite able to extend on his form with a right on song Holmes, bowling him out of the match to win impressively. Earlier in the post-section play, Mat Bassett worked his way down to the last 16 before he was taken out by eventual open singles winner, Shaun Blackbourn, in a tight match,

while former local player – and district councillor, Russell Ellis also made it to the last 16 before faltering. Michael Lawson also qualified for the post-section stage of the event, but was knocked out in the last 64. Meanwhile, in the Masters Event, which ran alongside the open singles, all five local entries made it through the qualifying stage on Saturday to earn a spot on Sunday. Geoff Laird and Bill Allnut were knocked out in the first round of the morning, having made their way into the final 52 and then Mark Sheard, Neil Atkinson and Cecil Tubb fell at the final 32 stage after getting a bye run through the opening round of the day. Both Sheard and Atkinson could have gone deeper in the competition, with their matches only decided by one-shot with Sheard losing to eventual semi-finalist, Nigel Warnes and Atkinson going down to Mike Fouhy who made the final eight.

There’s some strong momentum building for the Mid Canterbury Men’s senior hockey side. Fresh off the Ian Smith Memorial in Oamaru, where they went through unbeaten with three draws and a win, the side trekked to Christchurch on Saturday to take on Division One table-toppers, Carlton Redcliffs, in the Canterbury Hockey competition. The benchmark side in the competition, Carlton Redcliffs had only been troubled once in nine rounds before Saturday, and that was through a 3-all draw with Mid Canterbury back in round four. Other than that, they’ve been untouched – but Mid Canterbury produced a standout performance to topple the lamp-lighters 5-3, and elevate themselves into the top four in the competition. And even more impressively, the side hit their straps quickly for a change. They scored quickly after a strong run of play when Hayden

Sinclair put a nice finish on it to go 1-nil up, where they remained until the end of the first quarter. Redcliffs bounced back quickly in the second to level the scores up, but Mid Canterbury again went on the attack and Brad Nordqvist scored and they led into the halftime break 2-1. When Sinclair grabbed his second for the day in the third quarter, Mid Canterbury looked set to run away with the match, and when Scott Marshall grabbed the team’s fourth it looked a foregone conclusion. But Redcliffs showed why they are the leading team in the competition and scored two quick goals to put the game back in the balance, but Mid Canterbury piled on the pressure, and eventually Sinclair grabbed his third and sealed the match. With four wins and three draws from their 10 matches, Mid Canterbury are fourth on the standings, but if they can carry their current form through the second round they should push close to the playoffs. They head to Christchurch this weekend to take on Rangiora at the Mainpower Waimakariri Turf.

Alister wrote a quiz which Errol compered. The “Dumb Questions” section was certainly a challenge but there were also comments like “Why didn’t we think of that?” when the answers were revealed. The general knowledge questions were wide ranging and most of us fared better, but there were a few “Its on the tip of my tongue moments”. Our main speaker was local “Rock Hound” Malcolm Luxton. He became interested in the wide variety of stones found on local beaches so joined the Christchurch Lapidary Club in his late teens beginning a lifelong interest in agates. Malcolm gave a brief geological history of Mid Canterbury over the last 90 million years when New Zealand was part of Gondwana Land. These days NZ is considered to be part of Zealandia which is an undersea continent with only the NZ land mass above the sea. In the distant past Mt Somers was part of an active volcanic zone which extended from the Rangitata gorge to Malvern, north of the Rakaia. Agates were formed from the basaltic lava produced by volcanic eruptions. Gas bubbles in the molten lava formed cavities and over geological time dissolved minerals found ways into the cavities and crystallised. The volcanic rock was broken up by the ice ages and erosion giving the agates found rivers and beaches today. Petrified wood and fossils are also found. The tidal drift is from south to north so much interesting material is deposited on Birdling’s Flat. The recent floods will have uncovered a lot of agate material. Malcolm’s interest has been in collecting agates and unlocking their beauty by cutting and polishing for display. He explained this process and the machines used and brought along some display examples. He has a private museum, which can be visited by arrangement, displaying the agates he has prepared, including a sphere. He is a keen photographer of agates and some years ago published a coffee table style book on NZ agates. He gave an outline of the self-publishing process and explained that it gave the author much more control of the book. Meetings second Tuesday of month, Senior’s Centre 206 Cameron St, 9.30 am. Visitors welcome. Phone Joe 0274 339 018. ashcomboclub@gmail.com

A very well supported Tuber Stall at the Farmers Market in October helped raise funds for the circles events and members looked forward to offering this to the public again in 2021, along with chatting to anyone that might be keen to come along with their blooms to the table shows starting in September. As we look forward to sunshine and warm days ahead, winter is a great time to plan out areas in our gardens for where to plant the ever increasing list of amazing dahlias on offer. New members are always welcome plus you can find us on FB - Ashburton Dahlia Circle.

Ashburton Musical Club

The Ashburton Musical Club had a feast of great music from Nor’Wesr Brass on Sunday the 13th June. Conductor, Matts Toomata, managed a band that played with precision and attention to detail. The vigour and enthusiasm of their music communicated with the large audience. The opening march, Death or Glory, paraded all those qualities. Two items, Mid All The Traffic and Kaleidoscope, being prepared for the National Championships in Christchurch, showed the practice and discipline required to perform at a high level. The Band had a number of very young musicians. Mia yee played Wonderful World on flugel horn with a purity of sound that was a privilege to listen to. The Band’s renditions of Hine e Hine and Abide With Me were emotionally stirring. We all hear music differently, and, Light As Air , was difficult to under stand. When the Saints go Marchin In, Candy Man, Fake it Til Ya’ Make It, Can’t Take my Eyes Off Of You and All These Things That I’ve Done were familiar Music, great to hear played well. Hey Jude, allowed the Horn section to show their talents. The cornet section, with several young musicians, played Cornets a Go Go, and shared their enjoyment with all present. A rare treat was, The Bare Necessities, played on Bass trombone by Stephen Croker. In each half of the programme Mexican Dancers performed to La Bambe

Another scam that has been around for a long time. The time went quickly with a lot of input from members and the discussion on banking continued after Andrew left before the meeting started. All who went to the fundraiser for Life Education, the movie “Dream Horse” enjoyed it for its reality and down to earth humour. Bev took flowers to Judith on her birthday.

As well the Cup Day and Quizco being held on 23rd July. Hinds will be doing the lunch catering. Jenny Sinclair showed us a range of peggy square rugs she had put together in a variety of colours with a knitted border, so some discussion then took place as to where these could go. “Nest” a welfare organisation in Christchurch was one of the recommendations made. Other garments were also suggested for us to knit. The Roll call was well responded to with a good selection of loaves and biscuits for the 206 Club attendees. The Thought for the day was: “Decide that you will not try to do everything at once. That is why time is spread out.” Birthday honours were awarded to Jenny with a gift from the Birthday Box.

Andrew Wilson from Heartland Bank was the speaker his month and had tips for using internet banking and those with the phone app, can access banking. Now cheques have been withdrawn, the options for paying accounts have narrowed, forcing us to use the internet. Not all present had computers or were not comfortable using it for banking. Scam email and phishing are the common pitfalls as they are made to look so convincing using very familiar headings to Banks and other services. His advice was to never clink on links in these emails. Phone calls also have a similar tone urging to click on a number to take you to a call centre. Many members had had these. From these fraudsters, it can lead to account takeover which then

Huge congratulations to members, Ronnie Campbell and Brian Goodes who recently qualified to represent New Zealand at the Triathlon Age-Group World Championships. Both qualified for the Olympic distance to be held in Edmonton, Canada this August. Throughout the triathlon season two selection events were held of which there are a limited number of slots available. Brian was in good form during the triathlon season and Ronnie had been training hard for Ironman. To reach this high standard many dedicated hours of training and competition has taken place, and lots of family support along the way. Now having qualified, their training continues with this next goal keeping them highly motivated. We wish them all the best with their training and will watch with keen interest when competition day arrives. Our Winter programme is well underway, and a good turnout continues both Saturday morning and afternoon. The morning group of runners consistently come together and adapt their distance to fit around training goals, getting in extra kilometres’ if desired before meeting others at 7:30am. The afternoon brings together a dedicated group of mainly walkers. Lately they have enjoyed both hosted and local events which has offered great variety. Congratulations to Lynda and David Bayne, and Kelvin Leach who recently travelled to compete in the St Clair half Marathon, all in the walking category. Each came away happy with their times achieved.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): This is no time to limit your scope. Success can come from many different avenues. If you’re counting on one person, that’s too much pressure for both of you. Go out and find three more to bet on. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You really don’t need to make any earth-shattering advances to land where you want to go. This will be about doing small things consistently a little better. The only two steps you need: improve, repeat. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ll wonder if you’re doing better or if you’ve just gotten comfortable with how you were doing before. Either way, that stress is over, so it’s time to create some fresh stress in a flavour you love. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You enjoy your things, but you don’t let them define you, not in your mind and not in the mind of others. That second part requires that you use discretion, cherish modesty and enact privacy. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Magic comes in many forms, and today’s might be the most spectacular one of all – evidence of love from your unconditional fan. A person who wants to see you smile is worth more than their weight in gold. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Check in with those people who like to figure things out on their own. They may be too humble to ask for the help that would be so easy for you to give. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): The software update never comes at a convenient time because routine maintenance isn’t exciting enough to be a priority. Make sure when it’s time for people to interact with you, they’re in for a treat. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There is someone you want to be in the future. Thinking about it won’t make it so. Acting on it every day will. It doesn’t matter much how successful or unsuccessful the action is, only how consistent. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Powerful outcomes will be delayed. This is why it’s important to have faith. Faith will keep you stepping forward when it seems futile to do so. Faith can fuel you until the actual results kick in. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You know loving people who hold you dear from afar. Today you’ll get more from the ones who demonstrate their care, actively pursue what you’re offering, and let you know when they miss you. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): If there’s no right answer, no guarantee and no clear mark of value beyond a feeling, you just might be dealing in the realm of art. Art solves problems in mysterious ways. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): You’ll be serving a communal function. It will be most fulfilling to know that people need what you’re doing. In fact, it is an integral part of what they are doing.

Battle lines drawn

MIDWEEK SPORT

P25

Tokyo calling By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

It’s a champion team, not a team of champions for sure – but there’s just something about Petero Tuwai. The barnstorming mid-fielder, turned winger for the Combined Country Rugby Final, was at his devastating best against Southbridge, as he helped his side to an historic victory in front of a huge crowd of supporters at the Hinds Domain. Strong and quick, but with a very good brain for the game of rugby, Tuwai has been a machine all season for Southern, and his two tries on the weekend took his tally for the season to a quite incredible 13.

It was he who set the ball rolling on Saturday as Southern came from behind in the first half to get back into the game, and it was he who all but sealed the deal with his second late in the match. On both occasions, Tuwai looked to have been covered, but he managed to create something from nothing. With his form this season, it seems only a disaster will stop the newfound talent from making his way into the Mid Canterbury Heartland squad for this season, where the rest of New Zealand will get the chance to see what all the fuss is about.

FINALS FOOTY

P26

Mid Canterbury’s Emma Dyke has gone another step closer to realising her Olympic dream. The renowned rower was named as part of the New Zealand women’s eight squad of 10 who will travel to Tokyo in under a month for a training camp ahead of the event. While the final selection of the boat won’t be made until just prior to the competition, Dyke’s inclusion into the squad and her recent form have her in good stead to take a spot in the boat when it comes time to try and row for gold. Making the moment even more special for Dyke, who turns 31 later this month, was that her parents, Mike and Nicky had travelled from their Mayfield base, and were right beside their daughter when the squad was announced. Dyke has been in strong form this season in the boat including at the New Zealand Rowing Championships earlier this year, where she won the women’s premier coxless pair with Grace Prendergast, incidentally, getting the better of team-mates Kerri Gowler and Ella Greenslade who finished second. The quartet then combined with Davina Waddy, Kirstin Goodger, Charlotte Darry, Alex Stefanovksi, Ivana Giacon and Lucy Burrell to win the women’s premier coxed eight rowing out of the Avon Rowing Club in Christchurch. Dyke is joined in the 10-strong squad by Prendergast, Gowler, Jackie Gowler, Beth Ross, Phoebe Spoors, Goodger, Kelsey Bevan, Lucy Spoors, Greenslade and coxswain Caleb Shepherd. Selectors pulled a slight surprise with their team naming when they included both Prendergast and Kerri Gowler in the women’s eights, as both also feature in the squad as the women’s pair for the Olympics. The current world champions, the women’s eight will have plenty of eyes on them over the coming weeks as they prepare for Tokyo and all eyes in Mid Canterbury will be fixed firmly on one of their own, Dyke.
