Luxton takes out Rangitata Hands vows to stand again

By Susan Sandys susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

“I can’t believe it, I just can’t believe it,” said Jo Luxton after the most momentous evening of her political life on Saturday. The 47-year-old from Hinds had just done what no other Labour candidate before her had managed – to turn the National stronghold of the Rangitata electorate from blue to red. Luxton became the new Rangitata MP after attaining 18,876 votes, a majority of 3484 over National’s Megan Hands, on 15,392 votes, revealed in preliminary results released on election night. This compares to National’s former candidate of Andrew Falloon attaining a 6331 majority over Luxton in 2017. There was a big party vote swing this time round as well – 48.4 per cent of voters ticking red in the electorate, compared to 33.6 per cent last time, and only 32 per cent ticking blue, compared to 53 per cent last time. It was about 10pm and Luxton had just given her acceptance speech to a room full of her supporters, when she told the Guardian she remained completely stunned by the result. She was alone on that score, however, with all of her supporters in the same room, at Sopheze on the Bay at Timaru, mostly not surprised at her winning the new title. “I think it’s amazing, people say this is the most right-leaning electorate, and Jo has come through,” said Georgie McLeod,

Rae disappointed at so many votes Not A Party candidate for Rangitata, James Rae, gave explicit instructions not to vote for him in General Election 2020, but 56 people did. “I’m extremely disappointed that 56 people have had such an issue following simple instructions,” Rae said.

Rae was the lowest polling candidate behind Brannon Favel for Social Credit, who attained 91 votes. And while personally impressed by the deep blue electorate turning red, he was somewhat dismayed the result proved wrong the line in

his campaign poem saying that Rangitata constituents were “deathly allergic to voting red”. “I think obviously people heard that and decided that couldn’t be right in any way, and conspired against me, so I would look a fool,” he said.

Rangitata was one of a contingent of deep blue electorates which fell to Labour on Saturday night, part of a historic landslide for the party. National candidate Megan Hands, whose election night party was at the Landing Service Conference Centre in Timaru, put on a brave front following the shattering result. “What we saw was a massive nationwide swing, and Rangitata was a casualty of that,” Hands said. She planned to vie for the candidacy in the electorate at the next election in three years’ time. “I’m not going anywhere, I’m committed to the area,” Hands said. “The National Party values haven’t changed, we have some reflection to do as a party and some rebuilding to do. But I have been a member of the party for a long time, I still believe in our values, I still believe Kiwis share our values, and we need to rebuild from the core of those.” National Party member Chris Ford paid tribute to Hands as a hardworking candidate whose farming knowledge was extensive, and who applied herself to learn a lot about a wide range of other sectors and associated policies. “The support for Megan was huge,” Ford said. He believed one of the main reasons behind National losing the electorate had been a strong population and Labour support base in the city of Timaru.

WORD ON THE STREET Should Labour choose to form a government with the Greens or govern alone?

ED EASTON Labour should govern alone because the greens are too far left. Labour has their own mandate they need to stand on their own, so we can see how good they are.

PETE PAULSEN Alone. The Greens with their wealth tax are too far to the left. There seems to be a lot of envy in politics at the moment.

DON KENNEDY They need to govern alone. We can put up with Labour on their own, but it would be too far left with the Greens involved.

JOHN TILLICK Alone. The Greens are too far to the left. I have not thought about it if she does go with them.

JOHN HALL Alone. The Greens have some bad policies, especially for this area. This is heartland New Zealand and a lot of the country’s bills will be paid from this area.

Farmers did indeed tick red By Susan Sandys susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

True blue Mid Canterbury farmers did the unthinkable on election day – they gave their party vote to Labour. Among them was Mt Somers farmer Robert Schikker, who said he and his family had always voted National, but this time round he decided to go red. This was due to making a strategic decision to give Labour enough votes to govern alone, so it did not have to form a coalition with the Greens. Schikker believed he was one of hundreds of farmers who had done the same thing, some he knew personally, although many might not want to admit it. He said in addition to making the strategic decision, he had felt that National had not de-

served to get in after the shambles of a campaign they had run, and he had been impressed with the government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. And now that he had voted Labour, he urged the party to avoid a coalition with the Greens. National Party member Chris Ford, who farms at Dromore, was not convinced that a significant number of farmers would have voted for Labour. “At the end of the day, I don’t think farmers with a shaking hand could actually tick a red box,” Ford said. Anyone steering away from National would have been more likely to give their party vote to ACT, Ford said. While he had been shocked at the deep blue electorate of Rangitata falling to Labour on election night, he was keeping a positive outlook, while advising Labour to stay away from form-

ing a coalition with the Greens. The Green Party had lost their way in shifting from a sole environmental focus to being activists on a range of issues. “You have to be diplomatic and just hope that Labour is going to listen to farmers’ concerns and be supportive of us. And being so strong it pulls Labour back to the centre,” Ford said. A strong vote for ACT in the Rangitata electorate supports the suggestion some longstanding National voters switched to ACT. ACT candidate Hamish Hutton was the third highest polling candidate behind winner of the seat Jo Luxton and runner-up Megan Hands. He received 1220 votes, way ahead of the next highest polling candidate of Gerrie Ligtenberg for the Greens, on 629 votes. ACT was the third highest

polling when it came to the party vote in the electorate, attaining 9.7 per cent, compared to 8 per cent nationwide. Hutton said he could not take credit for ACT’s good performance in Rangitata. “It’s a national phenomenon, electorates are different,” Hutton said. He was ranked 37th on the ACT list of about 50 candidates. “It was never about trying to win the electorate or get into Parliament,” Hutton said. “I’m really excited to have helped to contribute to ACT getting a strong team together in Parliament, many of whom are from small businesses, to give a voice to small business, under a government that’s mostly been about transfer of value away from employers to employees, to the point where a lot of employers are struggling to survive,” Hutton said.

He also knew of long-time National supporters, with both rural and urban backgrounds, who had swung to Labour in order to prevent the party having to rely on the Greens to form a government. Provincial president for Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers David Clark echoed Ford’s sentiments about Labour not forming a coalition with the Greens. “I don’t know why they would, because they were given a clear mandate to govern alone,” Clark said. He hoped Labour had the competency to lead the country out of its “debt-fuelled bubble” following Covid, and through tough times ahead. “At some point in time New Zealand as a country is going to have to learn to live within its means, and live off the income of what we can sell to the rest of the world,” Clark said.

Hundreds flock to 56th ASA awards By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

It may have been long overdue compared to previous years, but this did not stop a slew of art patrons flocking to Ashburton Society of Arts (ASA) annual awards event on Monday. The Ashburton Art Gallery was at near capacity for the 56th edition of the perennial local arts event which was forced to move to October from its long-established mid-winter schedule. More than 200 guests were in attendance for the evening which began with drinks and nibbles and an early peek at the works on display before formalities took place. The night was again hosted by beloved entertainer Lynda Topp, who donned her Ken character for the night. The event also shared space with three other exhibitions including the Hakatere Ceramics and Pottery exhibition, Adrian Hall’s photography installation series Seismic Shift and Dr Mizuho Nishioka’s photography exhibition North by Northwest. A total of 15 awards were handed out over the night, however the big winner was absent. Described as a thing of “pure joy and beauty”, Min Kim’s Poem of Spring clinched the RMF Silva Premier Award as decided by judge Michael Eaton. Kim was unable to attend the awards due to an “emergency” at the Ohoka-based Bryce Gallery, with one of her students Pauline Roberts accepting the award on her behalf. “She is deeply moved by it and she is so sorry she couldn’t be here,” Roberts said upon accepting the award. Roberts told the Guardian it was an honour to accept the award on behalf of her

the Rosebank Village Local Award for her politically-imbued Breaking Point. Simpson said she was thrilled. “It was probably in my head for about three or four weeks and it didn’t take too long, maybe three days,” she said. “I had an idea of what I wanted to do and halfway through that sort of changed a little bit and I stood back and thought ‘oh where did that come from?’”

“It’s got a message for a lot of people really and I was thinking about the four major political parties.” She said she had forgotten that the exhibition would closely follow the election. “It was a wee bit (nerve-wracking) because of the timing.” The exhibition runs until November 13.

Raising fluoride awareness By Susan Sandys susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Kari Mohoao is on a mission. The Methven resident and former Timaru mayoral candidate wants to raise awareness of the alleged health impacts from consuming fluoride. Methven is one of the few towns in the South Island which has fluoride added to its water. Ultimately Mohoao would like to see another referendum held in the town asking residents if they want fluoridation to continue. Fluoride in water supplies helps prevent tooth decay in children and adults. Mohoao said there was evolving science on the issue, and studies in the last five years had raised concerns around its effect

Kari Mohoao on brain function and overall health. Methven residents last voted in a referendum on the topic in 2008, which resulted in a majority in favour of fluoride remaining.

“Information moves along, science moves along, and we need to adapt and stay informed,” Mohoao said. He doesn’t call himself anti-fluoride, rather he says he is pro-choice, and that people should not be forced into having fluoride in their water supply. He is opposed to the Fluoridation Amendment Bill, which the oral health sector wants to see move through Parliament. This would result in the extension of fluoridation throughout New Zealand as district health boards become responsible for fluoridating water supplies, taking this responsibility away from district and city councils. The bill flew in the face of the Bill of Rights, which protected New Zealanders from mass medication, Mohoao said.

Mohoao has lived in Methven since February, moving there from his home city of Timaru where he was the lowest polling of five candidates in the race for the Timaru mayorality in local body elections last year. He said he had enjoyed raising awareness of fluoride in his mayoral campaign. He is continuing to do this at a local body level, having recently spoken to Methven Community Board members about his intention to raise awareness with a view to another referendum being held. Mohoao has an interest and background in health. He is a former member of the South Canterbury District Health Board’s Maori Health Advisory Committee and Community Health Advisory Committee, representing Arowhenua Runanga.

In brief Pool water reuse Waste water from pools at the EA Networks Centre is finding a new use. Currently up to 60,000 litres of holding water is used for garden irrigation around the centre. Once the irrigation project is completed there will be capacity to store up to 85,000 litres of water for irrigation.

Filipino garden Bright flowers, exotic plants and Filipino huts and signage about the Philippines will become part of the Ashburton Domain when a new Filipino garden is installed over the summer. The project is funded partly through the Hakatere Multicultural Council and the office of Ethnic Communities.

Library partnership A New Zealand libraries partnership programme will see the Ashburton library increase its staff by two, fully subsidised positions. The approved positions are for a library assistant and a digital access co-ordinator. The two positions are fixed term ending on June 30, 2022. A third person may also be employed through the scheme.

Ashburton’s Indian community will be holding one of its most colourful festivals on Saturday, celebrating with food, music and dance. Diwali, the festival of lights, is observed by millions of Hindu, Sikh and Jains around the world and Ashburton is no exception. The event has been celebrated locally for several years, and while Covid-19 meant a bit of uncertainty around this year’s event, organiser Rohini Sukul and her team had put in a big effort to secure a strong line-up of entertainers. “It might not be as long this year, but we know it’s going to be an awesome night,” she said. The celebrations start from 5.30pm with food available to purchase and while entry to the event is free, Sukul hopes people will pre-register to help with catering numbers. Performances start at 7pm and will include a Christchurch band, classical Punjabi dance, Bollywood performances, children’s dances and a free-for-all where adults and children can get on stage and try their hand at traditional Indian dance styles.

New wheels roll out in Mayfield Twelve

singers size up choir

By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The emergency services in Mayfield are boasting new wheels. St John and the volunteer rural fire brigade, based at the same station in Mayfield, have both received new vehicles recently. St John received their new first response unit at the end of July. They had the oldest ambulance in the district, a 2010 Mercedes Sprinter that had racked up the kilometres, and now have the newest – a 2020 Volkswagon T6. “It is a real coup for Mayfield because we are a small rural station, we were previously getting the hand-me-down vehicles but now have a brand new one,” Mayfield station manager Cushla Murdoch said. The new vehicle is smaller and nimbler than a traditional ambulance and being brand new is much more reliable than its well-travelled predecessor. “It’s more up-to-date and better suited to the area. “The crew all like it. “We carry all the gear, just less of it.” Despite being a smaller vehicle, it has a similar layout to a larger ambulance and is still fully equipped for first responding, as well as being transport capable. The eight Mayfield volunteers cover a large part of the district. “An ambulance should be able to cross boundaries, but our patch is from the Rangitata River to the north branch of the Ashburton River but we provide back-up to

They had just under 100 callouts in 2019, but Murdoch said they are already well over that this year, making good use of the new wheels, responding to around 26 jobs in both September and August. Next door the Mayfield Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade has a brand new four-wheel-drive 2020 Isuzu, replacing a 1994 Hino that had previously been at Renwick. The new appliance still serves the same purpose with the only difference being it is yellow, the national rural colours, and its four-wheel-

drive which improves its accessibility, Rural Fire Officer Tim Rowe said. “It’s a better set up and more user friendly,” Rowe said. It is one of four new rural appliances in Mid Canterbury, with Ashburton Rural and Lauriston receiving them first, then Mayfield, and Alford Forest received its new wheels last week. In the future, Mayfield is also in line for a new tanker, replacing its 1994 Isuzu. Mayfield, which currently has 17 volunteers, had its new appliance for a week, taking it out for a train-

ing drive, before its first call to action to the fire at Lake Ohau at the start of the month. Rowe said looking at the current conditions heading into the summer fire season, it shapes as a busy one for the new appliance. “It’s pretty dry out there now.” It’s not all fires though, he said, as they are co-responders that also attend motor vehicle accidents and provide another option for medical first response. That means the wider Mayfield community has two new first response vehicles ready to race to their assistance when called upon.

Open Night with the Mid Canterbury Choir on Monday attracted 12 newcomers keen to learn all about joining. Manager Carol Gunn said there was interest from tenors, sopranos, altos and basses at the night at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre Bradford Room. “They were able to share the music of a current member to sing along for the evening. They will now attend choir for three to four weeks and then take an audition before membership is confirmed. “I hope that they will join us to sing our Christmas concerts in December,” Gunn said. The Christmas concerts would be on December 11 in Ashburton and December 13 in Geraldine. “We are happy for people to come along for the next couple of weeks if they missed out on last (Monday) night,” she added.

Bank robber gets home detention An Ashburton man who made off with more than $58,000 following a bank heist has been sentenced to home detention. Casey Cam Lawrence, 32, who held up the ASB Bank on Burnett Street on the morning of July 9 faced sentencing at the Ashburton District Court on Monday. It is alleged the man parked his bike at the rear of the ASB about 10.10am, before walking into the bank and requesting to withdraw some money. He then wrote on a piece of paper provided by the bank employee stating “give me the money, I don’t want to hurt anyone”. The note was also alleged to have said that he was depressed and wanted to visit his family. The bank teller then activated the bank panic alarm before handing over $58,500 from a nearby safe to the man, the court heard. No one was injured and a weapon was not used in the hold-up. He was arrested about 11.20am that same morning after he was found with $53,500 at the community service centre He Waka Tapu after staff alerted police. A search warrant was later executed at the man’s Ashburton residence where $5000 was located hidden in a piece of furniture. Defence counsel Marilyn Gilchrist said the man’s actions had been driven from a place of desperation, fuelled by a long period of drug abuse and depression. While the man had a lengthy criminal history, none of his previous crimes had been of a similar nature, Gilchrist said.

PHOTO ASHBURTON GUARDIAN

She outlined for the court that the man with support of his family had been making “positive steps” to turn his life around, by attending the gym, walking and focusing on his mental health. A victim impact statement provided by the bank teller at the centre of the incident was touched on by Judge Dominic Dravitzki.

“While there was no injuries, it was very traumatic for the bank teller,” he said. The statement recalled how the episode had been the most terrifying and loneliest three minutes of her life. The judge sentenced Lawrence to 10 months’ home detention and was subject to a warning of the three strikes regime.

Unwelcome texting leads to sentence Judge Dominic Dravitzki told Glenn Ronald Lovett that texting his former partner was not overtly threatening, but it was unwelcome nonetheless. The 35-year-old was appearing for sentence in the Ashburton District Court on Monday on three breaches of a protection order and one intentional damage charge. The breaches, which were text messages with queries or seeking help, followed an incident on December 9 last year, from which the intentional damage charge arose. The summary of facts on this latter charge stated Lovett and the victim were at home when the defendant approached the victim, and engaged in a verbal argument relating to their son. The victim got into a tractor to get away from the defendant. The defendant got into a truck and followed her, blocking her exit. The victim tried to turn around and hit the defendant’s truck and a water tank where she became wedged. The defendant approached the victim in her tractor and attempted to open the cab door, but due to it being stuck was unable to. He picked up a rock and threw it through the rear window of the tractor causing it to shatter. The victim sustained minor cuts to her neck from the broken glass that did not require medical attention. Lovett became upset in the dock and cried, putting a handkerchief to his eyes as His Honour advised him. Judge Dravitzki looked straight at the defendant to tell him he must not contact his former partner if that contact was unwelcome. “It is simply a case where you need to move on, to not contact your former partner.” He sentenced Lovett to 200 hours community work, and ordered him to pay $1424 reparation.

Employer’s plea to return to work proves costly Others to appear in front of Judge Dravtizki in the Ashburton District Court on Monday were: Gregory Ivan Dowdle, 55, was going to stay in Ashburton for the night, but his employer phoned him to see if he could work the next day. So the shearer decided to drive home and was nabbed for drink driving, recording a level of 710 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. Dowdle had four previous drink driving convictions, the two most recent in 2004 and 2017. He was sentenced to nine months’ supervision and three months’ community detention, while he was disqualified from driving for 28 days after which he can apply for an alcohol interlock licence. Timothy Daniel Bradshaw was convicted and fined $300 for being in a yard without reasonable excuse after pleading guilty to the offence. He was also ordered to make an emotional harm payment of $200. Cameron Roger Leahy received three months’ community detention in relation to a breach of his alcohol interlock licence, while he was remanded to December 14 on a theft charge after pleading not guilty. He was also disqualified from driving for 12 months after which time he was

authorised to apply for an alcohol interlock licence. Jason Michael O’Connor was driving an old moped south down East Street on July 31 when police stopped him and found he was drunk. His breath alcohol level was 878 micrograms per litre of breath. “It could’ve ended up extremely badly for you and others,” said Judge Dominic Dravitzki to the defendant who was appearing on the charge, as well as one charge of driving contrary to an alcohol interlock licence. His Honour noted a “worrying

pattern” of accumulating drink driving convictions over a short period, after being convicted of drink driving in February with a level of 573 micrograms per litre, and in 2017 with 696 micrograms per litre. The presentence report noted a lack of insight on O’Connor’s behalf. “You say it’s not the drinking that’s the issue, it’s the driving,” His Honour said. The incident could have ended badly for himself and others had he crashed and coming before the courts again could see him end up in prison. Judge Dravitzki sentenced

Alcohol has played a big part in offending by Kane Regan Beattie, the court heard. Judge Dravitzki noted the two common assault charges he was appearing on both occurred in a family violence context. The first was on August 1, when shortly after midnight Beattie decided to leave the address where he was with his former partner. She tried to stop him, whereupon he became angry and pushed her with both hands to the upper chest, causing her to fall backwards onto the ground. Then on September 9, Beattie and the complainant got into an argument, resulting in him pulling her forward by her hair and almost pulling her off the couch. He had a history of offences in a family violence context. In 2018 he had been convicted of assault and wilful damage, and the year before of assault and wilful damage. “You have come before the

court a number of times relatively recently, essentially for this sort of offending,” His Honour said. And clearly if it continued, a sentence of imprisonment would result. Judge Dravitzki sentenced Beattie to nine months’ intensive supervision, and 200 hours community work, as well as ordering him to make a $500 emotional harm payment to the victim. Deemed not guilty pleas have been entered for Thomas Ryan Greer, 24, of Ashburton, facing several drugs charges including the importation/exportation of ecstasy and importing LSD. Judge Dravitzki remanded Greer on continued bail to a Crown case review hearing on December 14. Tony-Lee Nathan Berger-Sewell was remanded for sentencing until December 14. He’d pleaded guilty and faced multiple driving charges after he was allegedly found to have been driving under the influence of methamphetamine and THC on February 28. Devoe Tairawhiti Rogan, 25, was remanded on bail after pleading not guilty to an assault charge. The Ashburton man is alleged to have used a glass bottle as a weapon in an incident on June 28. He is set to reappear on February 4.

The top three scarecrows in this year’s Scarecrow Trail.

Another successful scarecrow trail By Heather Mackenzie heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Another successful Methven Scarecrow Trail has raised $3500 for Methven Primary School. Organiser Gillian Heald said when Covid-19 put paid to the original March dates, it was agreed to push it back to the October school holidays rather than cancel it altogether.

“This turned out to be the right decision. The trail was as busy as ever with around 2000 visitors taking part.” Disney characters was the theme for 2020, a popular choice that saw more than 40 scarecrows dotted around the town. “The standard of scarecrow creations each year continues to astonish the participants and the judges.” Heald said she wanted to thank

the scarecrow-makers for their involvement. For some of them it was a very busy time of year with the ski season still on, she said. “It was great to see people out in the town taking part in the trail, especially those brave groups who persevered in the occasional springtime gale force wind.” There were twenty-seven correct entry forms and even though the spelling of some of them was

rather creative, but Heald said the judges turned a blind eye and popped them on the correct pile anyway. The winning entry form, randomly drawn by deputy mayor Liz McMillan, was Methven’s Emma, Chris and Jessie Luscome. First place, by popular vote, went to Methven Primary School’s creation Te Fiti from the Moana movie, second was Jack-

son Holmes’ Tractor from the Cars movie and Hannah Kidd took out third spot with Dumbo with his impressive flapping ears. Heald said she wanted to thank Ashburton District Council funding and the sponsors for their continued support. “We will be back in 2021 with a new theme, but back in its traditional slot of the Easter school holidays,” Heald said.

Crazy river a feature of Opuke thermal pools By Susan Sandys susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

About 60 people visited Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa at Methven for a guided tour on Saturday afternoon. Director James McKenzie described how the building site for the $15 million project will develop through to the expected opening in July next year. “It won’t be a lazy river, it will be a crazy river, it’s going to be mental,” McKenzie said of a fast-flowing area in the kids’ pool. Visitors relied on their imaginations on the cool and overcast day, with very little of the construction to date above ground level, and pools at this stage being excavations and pipe work. The kids’ pool would have a jump pool, McKenzie said, and children would be able to launch into that from varying heights before a jet of water pushes them into the crazy river. There will also be an island with water cannons so they can squirt each other. “They will not be able to reach the adult pool, it is a little bit further away,” McKenzie assured visitors. Separation of family and adults’ areas would be a strong feature of the pools, and a fold in the roof upon entering would

About 60 people learned all about Methven’s upcoming tourist attraction, the Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa, at a guided tour on Saturday afternoon by director James McKenzie. PHOTO SUSAN SANDYS 191020-SS-011 clearly delineate the two. The adult experience would be European style, where visitors changed into a gown, and were given a towel and slippers. The best mountain views were reserved for the adult areas, and these would include private pools where couples could retreat to. The capacity would be 300 to

400 maximum occupancy, but more typically would have up to 150 to 200 people at any one time. The pools would be carbon-neutral, with 500 solar panels to be installed on a bank bordering the site. Pool water would be emptied out and held in holding tanks overnight to conserve energy, while a scenic lake would help with dissipating excess solar

energy as water flowed into it on warmer days. The water is to come from the nearby Rangitata Diversion Race, which was glacier fed, and ECan had recently issued a consent. McKenzie praised the commitment and vision of the project’s founders and supporters, who decided to push ahead with the project after lockdown.

“We were shovel ready when we came out of Covid, and it’s really cool our investors and shareholders were keen to rip into this and get it going,” he said. Admission fees would be linked to the thermal springs at Hanmer, and visitation was expected to be about 25 per cent of what it was at the Canterbury resort thermal springs.

Labour’s smiling assassin By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

here’s a lot that could be written, pondered and said about the results of Saturday night. Locally here though, there’s one major talking point – Jo Luxton. Or as I’ve now decided to dub her – the smiling assassin, adorned by striking elements of red. To say Luxton’s approach to this election has been impressive would be an understatement. Three years ago, she shot into the spotlight when she was announced as one of Labour’s List MPs, giving Rangitata a second voice in the Beehive. Even Jo herself would say she was a little fresh for the task at hand and there were times when it appeared as though she didn’t really know what she’d got herself in for. But, in typical Mid Canterbury fashion, she rolled up her sleeves and got stuck in and the progression over time has been well and truly noticed. Sure, some might say she’s ridden on the coat-tails of Labour and more specifically, Jacinda Ardern’s popularity to her resounding success. And while there might an element of truth to some of that, there’s no denying just how hard she has worked and how far she has come. Meet the Candidates night at the end of last month was a defining moment for me in the race for the Rangitata seat. Luxton changed her tack, she bucked the trend and delivered a performance that made her really relatable. While others talked about policies and who was doing what wrong, Luxton talked about herself. She spoke about lining up at the foodbank to feed her young family when she was younger. She spoke about her family and what they meant to her and you could see people in the crowd connecting. It was a moment in time where instead of being just another face in the crowd she stepped into the spotlight and made everyone see who she was. And judging by the results on Saturday night, the people certainly saw her – and also quite clearly liked what they saw. It’s a method that won’t always work, but considering the turmoil that this electorate has seen in a political sense in recent months, it was the best approach and there should be no real surprise that reliability and relatability won.

OPINION 11

Result a plea for normality W

hen it comes to the fundamental structure of state and economy, Labour is broadly committed to the status quo. This was confirmed on election night when Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, wearing a Labour red dress before a National blue background, declared: “We will be a party that governs for every New Zealander.” In times of upset, people yearn for normality – and Ardern’s Labour Party was awarded a landslide for achieving something close to this. The risk of a further Covid-19 outbreak is ever present, as the latest case of an Auckland marine electronics engineer who has worked at some of the country’s ports. Nevertheless, international spectators view our pandemic response with a wistful gaze. At a time when many nations went sour on liberal democracy and rolled the populist dice, New Zealand appears on the world stage like a tribute act to thirdway politics, a nostalgic throwback to the relative sanity and stability of the long 1990s. Yet for many people who live in Aotearoa New Zealand, the status quo isn’t working, and hasn’t for some time. These tensions are only intensifying. Housing unaffordability is on the rise again, with implications for wealth inequality and deprivation. This is compounded further by the cascading economic effects of the global pandemic and unconventional manoeuvres in monetary policy that are pushing house prices higher. Without remedial action, this inequality will leave New Zealand society more exposed to future shocks, not only from Covid-19, but also the multiplying risks of climate change, biodiversity collapse, digital disruption and international instability. Inequality ensures uneven impacts, a recipe for further discontent and conflict.

No party for ideologues Even from a purely electoral

A pandemic can change a society’s foundations, David Hall writes. But if this happens in New Zealand over the next three years, it will be for reasons beyond the control of the sixth Labour government.

Labour might have been returned to power with an increased majority on Saturday, yet for many people, the status quo isn’t working, and hasn’t for some time. These tensions are only intensifying. perspective, the Labour Party can’t afford inaction. It is easy to forget how precarious the prime minister’s position was at the beginning of the year. She could boast enough policy wins to stack an early campaign video, yet hadn’t pulled a fiscal lever large enough to convince the public that her government was truly “transformational”. Entering a second term, her policy agenda is more recognisable by what she won’t do than what she will – no capital gains tax, no wealth tax, indeed no new taxes at all beyond a tweak for the highest earners. This leaves us with the longstanding conundrum of what the Labour Party is and what it really stands for these days. Ardern and her colleagues are not ideologues, but no politics is without ideology – a system of ideas, values and beliefs that orients its efforts.

I’ve argued in the past that Ardern’s government has a spirit of civic republicanism. This has met with reasonable scepticism, yet in the midst of the pandemic it feels more relevant than ever. With borders drastically restricted, and old allies going wayward, there is a renewed sense of separateness, of independence in the world. Might the pandemic seal New Zealand’s fate as the Commonwealth of Oceana, as a 21st century version of 17th century English republican John Harrington’s utopian island?

Kindness as a political virtue The first symptom of republicanism belongs to Ardern herself. She is the active citizen par excellence. She embodies civic commitment and public-spiritedness, along with a good dose of humility. Even in emergencies, she remains one

of us: primus inter pares, “first among equals”. Analysts of Ardern’s political leadership emphasise her openness, honesty, self-discipline, empathy and, above all, her authenticity. For civic republicans, the exercise of such virtues is the lifeblood of public life. Indeed, insofar as Ardern has a distinctive political agenda, it is centred on the virtue of kindness. Arguably, this has displaced the more principled commitments that might guide substantive structural reform. But kindness also provided vital emotional leadership in the raw moments following the Christchurch mosque attacks and the onset of the pandemic. As the 18th century philosopher Montesquieu said, “Virtue in a republic is a most simple thing: it is a love of the republic.” Few could doubt Ardern’s de-

votion to the nation. But for the Labour Party, as for republicans, this has an exclusionary aspect. Given the emphasis on citizens, republicans have tended to prioritise “us” over “them”. In the Athenian republic, only citizens could participate in democracy, and only wealthy men could be citizens – not women, not slaves, not foreigners. Similarly, in New Zealand’s “team of five million”, only citizens have the full spectrum of rights and entitlements. For more than 300,000 temporary visa holders, whose compliance with pandemic restrictions was vital for containing the outbreak, there was minimal solidarity from government. Many were frozen out of jobs during lockdown, unable to relocate due to visa conditions, and excluded from social welfare support. Others were stuck outside the country until very recently, unable to re-enter. From a liberal or internationalist perspective, this is hard to swallow. But there is a nativist strain within the Labour Party which will relish these harder borders. None of this is to say that Labour’s politics aren’t liberal or social democratic. Ideologies can be mixed in the same way that economies can be. It is to say, more modestly, that some of the qualities that characterise the Ardern government align with civic republicanism. And this helps to resist the lazy analysis that this government is nothing more than a continuation of what came before, another phase in an undifferentiable centrist blob.

The Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection needs you

o you grow Nui, Huia, Moata, Tama, Ruanui, Manawa or Pawera? These cultivars are known as the Non-Proprietary Cultivars (NPCs) and a Commodity Levy is collected on the first purity and germination test of that seed line. Seed collection agencies such as AsureQuality or Luisetti Seeds collect the levy on behalf of the Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection of Federated Farmers. The levy income is paid to Grasslanz, who maintain the genetic material to ensure the NPCs continue to be available to farmers for continued use. The Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection holds the Commodity Levy enabling the collection of the levy. This levy has just been renewed for another six years, expiring in 2026. Each year members of the Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection come together to determine levy rates for the NPCs and uncertified ryegrass and red

and white clover. The levy rates are determined on the basis of information received about grower prices, areas in the ground and income needed to pay Grasslanz ($140,000 annually). It is not only setting the NPC levies that Herbage Seed members are involved with. They are also involved with the New Zealand Seeds Authority (NZSA), Seed Crop Isolation Distance (SCID) and development of the new Seed Computer Information System (SCIS) to support New Zealand’s Seed Certification scheme. The Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection is meeting on Tuesday, November 3 in Ashburton. North Canterbury has two positions

on the subsection (held by Matt McEvedy and Reuben Carter) and Reuben will retire by rotation at our November meeting. If you grow one of the NPCs and want to get involved with the Herbage Seedgrowers Subsection, please email me for me information (prawlinson@fedfarm.org. nz).

Democracy spoke, deal with it I

had intended to use this month’s column to look back at the three years which have passed since the farmer protests in Morrinsville and determine if a Labour/New Zealand First/ Greens Government was as scary as predicted. Events overtook me and clearly, since Labour won the party vote in all but four electorates, it wasn’t that scary at all. At the last election farming issues were front and centre in a highly divisive campaign that left farmers feeling kicked around like the proverbial political football. At the heart of this division was the proposed water levy, a proposal that didn’t even make it past coalition negotiations, which generated a lot of heat while distracting from the real message David Parker was trying to push; freshwater reform. This election, in the wake of plummeting tax receipts and a higher than normal reliance on income from agricultural exports, every single political party was courting the farming vote. Even the Greens, whose policies make most farmers roll their eyes, were offering large amounts of money to the rural sector in order to ease the pain

Well known local farmer Craig Hickman is a regular columnist for Guardian Farming, which is out next week. In this month’s column he strays away slightly from a very common rhetoric among farmers in the wake of the election.

By Craig Hickman ELBOW DEEP of adjusting to a world seen through Green eyes. The Government didn’t get a free ride on these issues, they’ve had a very high profile in the media, both nationally and locally, so how much damage did it cause them? The answer would be none. Traditional and primarily rural National party strongholds like Canterbury, Waikato, Southland and Taranaki are no longer strongholds with Labour either winning the electorate vote or dramatically reducing National’s majority. I and many others thought the oil and gas ban and potential loss of high paying jobs in Taranaki would translate into a loss of support for Labour, instead Labour were rewarded with both the party and electorate vote in New Plymouth. The same can be said for the National Policy Statement on Freshwater, which contains arbitrary and in some cases un-

workable rules around planting and grazing for Southland, yet that criticism had no effect and Labour also won the party vote there. On the flipside, National’s inability to articulate a clear alternative vision combined with infighting, leaking and frequent leadership changes caused them immense damage. Todd Muller and Nikki Kaye staged a bloody coup to oust Simon Bridges, the likes of which hasn’t been seen in New Zealand politics since Jenny Shipley rolled Jim Bolger in 1997. National didn’t win the following election that time either. Obviously not all farmers gave Labour their vote, and some who did voted in the hope Labour would be in a position to govern without the Greens, but the fact remains Labour have been given an overwhelming mandate to move forward

with their key policies. Jacinda Ardern made it very clear in her speech that she will seek consensus for “the benefit of all New Zealanders” and throughout the campaign Labour have announced incredibly centrist policies. I’ve been accused on social media of living the good life and being able to take it easy because I farm on the Canterbury Plains rather than in Southland where the perceived goal is to eradicate farming. The truth is we’ve been operating under strict rules implemented by Environment Canterbury that predate the current Government; renewed consents to farm, farm environment plans, lowering nitrogen caps and increased reporting requirements all came in under a National Government. The changes that were coming to all New Zealand farmers have

been well signalled. I’ve heard farming leaders being interviewed since the election and they all seem shellshocked, some expressing hope that Labour will govern alone and others wishing that farmers will finally be “given a break”. The answer I want our leaders to give in these interviews is a simple and clear one; the election results are interesting, but they don’t change our core goal, to work constructively with the Government of the day to the benefit of all farmers and New Zealand.

Biosecurity concerns halt watermelon supply Supermarket shelves could soon run dry of watermelons with all import channels for the fruit currently closed due to biosecurity concerns. Imports of the fruit from Tonga were halted last week after live fruit fly larvae were detected at the New Zealand border on a consignment of watermelons from the country. The Ministry for Primary Industries said there would now be an investigation into the non-compliance by the Ministry of Agriculture Food, Forestry and Fisheries in Tonga. “Until the suspension is lifted, all consignments of watermelons from Tonga arriving at New Zealand’s border will be held with the option of destruction or re-shipment in accordance with the Import Health Standard,” MPI said in a statement. MPI said there was no current pathway available for imported watermelons. Watermelon imports from Queensland, another large supplier of the fruit, have yet to resume following the detection of cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGM-

MV) on an imported consignment last December. Jerry Prendergast from United Fresh, which represents the New Zealand produce industry, said harvesting of New Zea-

through to Christmas and for example there was still about 75 to 80 twenty-foot containers [which] were due to come into the market between now and through to December, they won’t be able to come now.” Prendergast said the suspension would be devastating for growers in Tonga, with the value of the outstanding imports expected to be worth about $1.6 to 2 million. “So as I say we really feel for the communities in Tonga, I know that MPI was working very closely with the Tongan government to see what they can do to get that pathway up and open, but it’s very early days yet.” Waikato watermelon grower Mike Parker said demand for watermelon was yearround, but did increase when the warmer weather arrived. “On a hot day demand is usually very good for a nice juicy watermelon .... so January, February and often March those are the months where demand is highest, which also coincides with the bulk of the [domestic] growing season.” Parker said it was extremely important that pests and diseases were kept out of New Zealand and said the halt on imports was necessary. “We don’t want to jeopardise our industry at all, it’s bad enough with a pest incursion but with a virus, it can dilapidate a whole crop ... so it’s extremely important that we have good biosecurity, so our hats off to MPI for stopping these imports.” Parker said he had just begun planting the frost-tender crop on his property and would continue to do so over the coming weeks. He said growers would be hoping for nice warm weather and a bit of rainfall every now and again. Food industry consultant Glenn Forsyth said New Zealanders shouldn’t cross their fingers for an abundance of watermelons this Christmas, because local growers would have only just started harvesitng at that point. “They don’t really get under way until after Christmas so it will be tight and prices will be high, and of course the demand is going to be strong because everyone is hanging out for melons, so yes that’s a bit unfortunate.”

Farmers urged to attend AGM Dairy farmers are encouraged to attend DairyNZ’s annual general meeting in Ashburton this evening, where 2019-20 key projects, investment highlights and financial results will be discussed. The annual meeting will also provide a final opportunity to vote on DairyNZ board candidates and several resolutions. This year, the annual meeting will also be live streamed for the first time, enabling farmers nationwide to tune in online to the discussions. DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel said the annual meeting provided a great opportunity for dairy farmers to hear about DairyNZ’s key achievements from 201920 and priorities for the next year. Dairy farmers can also ask questions of their levy organisation. “It has been another big year for the dairy sector, with Covid-19 creating a number of challenges while continuing to work in an already complex environment. The annual meeting provides a good time to reflect on all the activities undertaken this past year, while looking forward to our future priorities for the upcoming season,” van der Poel said. “The year saw some big projects underway including flexible milking research, a large-scale cow fertility trial, and DairyNZ advocating throughout the freshwater reforms, including providing a submission which helped achieve some significant policy changes for our farmers.” Results from the directors’ election will also be announced at the end of the meeting, filling two positions on the DairyNZ board. Two of the candidates are from Mid Canterbury, Hinds dairy farmer Cole Groves and the chief executive of Ashbur-

ton-based Dairy Holdings, Colin Glass. Both Glass and the third candidate Jim van der Poel of Waikato are standing for re-election after retiring by rotation from DairyNZ’s board of directors. The meeting is being held at 6.30pm at the Hotel Ashburton. All DairyNZ levy payers are invited to attend.

TROPHIES ELUSIVE

FLYING STAKES

Clash of the titans By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

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

There were no trophies to bring home, but Mid Canterbury players who formed the men’s and ladies’ South Island interprovincial sides for the Aorangi region did produce solid individual results across a big weekend of play. The annual fixture, which sees Aorangi squaring off with other South Island regions ahead of the national event later in the year, were held at the St Clair Golf Club in Dunedin for the men and the women at the Ashburton Golf Club. The men’s side failed to make an impression, facing testing conditions and finishing fourth of their four teams. The ladies side, however, produced some good results and were edged out of second place on a countback of games won to finish third in their group of four. Ashburton players Pauline Bell and Rachel Eder both had strong weekends, winning two of their three matches. In the men’s action Cameron Grant, who plays out of the Rakaia Club, was the best of the Aorangi men, claiming two head-to-head victories as well as halving another. He scored wins against both Tasman and Otago and halved his tie with Southland. Ryan Cockburn was also in solid enough form, claiming a win and a half from his four matches. The sides now turn their focus to the National Interprovincial Tournament with the men heading to Whitford, south of Auckland, from November 24 through to November 28 and the women’s side playing at Akarana Golf Club from December 1 through to December 5.

The stage for one of harness racing’s most anticipated clashes has been set, and the venue just happens to be Ashburton. Taking on the might of the All Stars are outstanding pacers Self Assured and Spankem in the Ashburton Flying Stakes on Labour Day Monday. Much has been said, written and thought about the first meeting of the titans of this year’s New Zealand Trotting Cup, with the usual debates of form north of Wellington not being able to stack up to that from Canterbury. But on Monday, it all comes to a conclusion. And while Monday’s result won’t have a huge impact on what happens on the second Tuesday in November, there’s still plenty to be both lost and gained from the $47,500 event. Champion reinsman Blair Orange will take over the driving duties of Copy That from former Methven man, Maurice McKendry. A call was made early in the season that the horse would have a North Island driver in McKendry and a South Island driver in Orange. Both Spankem and Self Assured come into the race fresh off their Methven Cup success and the trio are joined by five other runners including North Island visitor Mach Shard for Barry Purdon.

Northern raider takes out Ashburton feature race ASHBURTON

Laking injured in fall By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A potential superstar of the threeyear-old galloping ranks marked her intentions for upcoming riches in a feature race marred by a nasty fall at Ashburton on Sunday. Matamata filly, Cornflower Blue, showed she was right back on track for feature racing at Riccarton during Cup Week next month with her win in the Group Three Barneswood Farm Stakes on Sunday. And while she was impressive in her victory, most on course, and watching from afar, could be forgiven for looking elsewhere as local jockey Jason Laking lay motionless on the track just a few hundred metres away, following a the fall on the point of the home bend. Laking’s ride, Zoltan, crashed to the track just as the field were about to straighten up for the run to the judge, tossing him to the track, before appearing to

roll over the top of him. St John paramedics were quick to the aid of the local hoop, and he was later transported to hospital with a suspected broken collarbone and a concussion. A second jockey, Brett Murray was also dislodged from his ride, Showemhowitsdone in the incident however Murray walked away from the fall unhurt. Both horses were up on their feet quickly and walked away from the incident relatively unscathed. While all that was unfolding, Cornflower Blue was furthering her claims for the Group One 1000 Guineas in a few weeks with Danielle Johnson urging the filly to the line to win from a brave pace-making Embers. “We are looking forward to her contesting the 1000 Guineas, if she goes the right way, but we’d like to see a touch more give in the ground if possible,” Mark Chittick, principal of Waikato Stud who race the filly said. Cornflower Blue is trained by champion trainer Jamie Richards

from the Te Akau stable. The win was one of two for the day for Johnson, on a day where the female jockeys won a remarkable nine of the ten races on offer. Kylie Williams was in sublime

form, picking up three wins for the day, including the impressive Lightning Jack, who will be pushed towards the Couplands Bakeries Mile on the middle day of the Cup Carnival at Riccarton.

She was also successful on the Terri Rae-trained duo of Southern Ocean and Kitty Cugat. Williams has now ridden 741 New Zealand winners in a career that has spanned over 25 years, to see her become one of the best of the South Island-based jockeys.

TENNIS

Tennis teams lay early marker By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

The new-look tennis season kicked into gear at the weekend with teams earning an early legup on court. A total of four teams are vying for the open grade honours, and it was the curiously-tagged Wilson and Babolat lineups which registered opening wins. Wilson skipper Peter Leonard led from the front against Head’s Jake Parsons, edging the youngster 6-3, 6-4 in singles action. It was more comprehensive in the other highly touted singles showdown between Rhys Cromie (Yonex) and Babolat’s Tyler Leonard. The top seed prevailed in the first set before putting on a clinic on the second to win 6-3, 6-1. The Wilson team dominated the singles court, winning six of the eight match-ups, including one where Head secured the points by default. Gareth Evans, Maia Liu, Josh Gilbert all secured straight set victories over their opponents. Maggie Crosby and Ashton Cromie meanwhile were both taken to tiebreakers, however

still got their team across the line. Head’s Riley Breen ensured it was not going to be one-way traffic, as he claimed a 6-2, 6-3 win over Nishthra Maarka 6-2, 6-3. Angel Spooner was awarded victory by default. It was five matches to three in favour of Babolat in singles action. Alongside Leonard’s victory, further wins were secured by Brendon Adam, Phil Crozier, Jacob Adam and John Leslie. Crozier’s match-up with Matt Hopkins was arguably the match of the round with Crozier getting up in a seesawing epic 3-6, 6-1, 11-9. Lee Gilbert’s three-setter against Pete Kirwan was not far behind, as Yonex’s Kirwan won 6-3, 2-6, 10-8. It was even-stevens in Head and Wilson’s doubles games, with both teams winning two games apiece. Head’s Lachlan Adam and Spooner were taken to three sets against Cromie and Isobel Brook with the former winning 6-2, 2-6, 10-5. Babolat nabbed the bragging rights in the doubles over Yonex, winning three games to one.

It was catch-up time in Mid Canterbury Bowls sub centre action on the weekend, with last season’s Champion of Champion singles played throughout Saturday until winners in the five categories were found. Playing at the Ashburton MSA Bowling Club on Racecourse Road, players went chasing sub centre glory in the senior men, senior women, junior women, junior men and colts men. The senior men’s title turned out to be an intriguing affair, with Hampstead’s Dan Hopkins tackling Methven’s Jeff Nowell in the final. Nowell looked to have the game well in control in the race to 21 shots, leading 19-15 at one stage, before Hopkins called on his experience to pick up a four to win the match. In the senior women’s event, Methven got one back with Shirley Pagey claiming success over Rakaia’s Marg Lloyd 21-15. The junior women’s title went the way of Hampstead’s Jaimee Carrodus, who was too good for Ashburton Lorraine Mills, winning 21-6. Brentton Donaldson, who plays out of the Ashburton Bowling Club, continued his hot run of form and farewelled his days as a junior player by winning the men’s event in convincing fashion, beating Jock O’Connor of Allenton 21-8. The final event for the day for players deemed as colts having played up to two years of bowls went to Allenton, with Cory O’Connor emerging victorious over Steve Gamble 21-15. Saturday’s event brought an end to catchup events from last season, with the sub centre triples, scheduled for this weekend, cancelled due to a lack of entries. Local players will be back on the greens this weekend however at the Gill Trophy which will be played at the Hinds Bowling Club.

CRICKET

Allenton on the board By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Allenton got their season under way with victory on Saturday, but Mid Canterbury’s other senior cricket side, the Tech Stags, will need to wait at least another week to kickstart their season after a contrasting weekend of results. Taking on Sefton up in North Canterbury, Allenton registered a promising four-wicket victory, to bury the demons of a horror display the week before, while Tech were left to lament what might have been after their modest total was run down by Temuka.

Up in Sefton, Allenton won the toss and asked their hosts to a bat. That decision was justified when Manpreet Hakkla had one of the local openers back in the shed without troubling the scorer. Steady wickets fell post the opening overs, and only a rearguard response of 52 from one of the Sefton middle order players kept Allenton at bay as they rolled Sefton for 130 in the 32nd over. Hakkla finished the game with figures of 3-23 from his five overs, while Satwant Singh was the other impressive bowler, claiming 3-10 off seven overs in a miserly

display with the ball in hand. In response, Allenton’s innings began the same way as their rivals, with Satveer Singh back in the shed for a golden duck. A 51-run partnership between Karmjeet Singh (25) and Sanjay Undre Singh (26) steadied the ship though, before Satwant Singh continued his good day at the office, scoring 35 to help guide his side to victory. At the other end of Canterbury, the Tech Stags lost the toss and found themselves with the bat in hand for their match at the Temuka Cricket Club. Things started well, with a 68-run opening stand between Jason Morrison (25) and Des

Kruger (48), but when they fell within a couple of overs of each other, Tech found themselves in trouble. Harry Jones (22) and Callum Gallagher (23) tried to keep things moving, and helped see their side through to 183 all out with just one ball remaining in the innings. Two quick wickets inside the first five overs had the Tech spirits high, but a 95-run fifth wicket partnership changed all that, as Temuka managed to score the required runs with five wickets

in hand and three overs remaining. The Ashburton side get their first home game of the season this week, and will be hoping to turn their luck around when they host Pleasant Point Cricket Club who have started the season strongly with two wins from the opening two rounds. Allenton are also at home hosting the Weedons Cricket Club. 48 runs at the top of the innings from Des Kruger (pictured fielding) wasn’t enough to help the Tech Stags to victory on Saturday.

Tech forced to wait another week ATHLETICS

Back on the track The athletics season leaped, flung and sprinted its way into life on Sunday as the Ashburton Athletics Club hosted an open day at the Ashburton Domain. A healthy sprinkling of youngsters received top notch mentoring during Sunday’s outing as they tried their hand at long jump, hurdles and discus.

Club nights will be run every Wednesday with the local Arthur’s Cup event only a few weeks away. Club spokesperson Alanna Peck said everything was on track for a great season, aided by a new club track and field coach. Ellie McCall (right) makes an impressive leap on Sunday.

Much travelled raconteur, Errol, told us about his visit to Pitt Island (population about 36), a short flight from Chatham Island. Farming fishing and tourism are the mainstays. Stock, renowned for the quality of the meat, is shipped to Napier or Timaru for sale. The feral merino sheep are very wary of humans. The small Catholic Church is the world’s most remote from Rome. In his own indomitable way, Errol met the locals discovering unlikely life stories and surprising coincidences which he turned into anecdotes for us. Our main speaker, well-known local radio

Ashburton Guardian Wednesday, October 21, 2020 host Hoops, entertained us with a wealth of anecdotes and stories. The family business was the Hospital Shop, where it seems he was in charge of quality control for lollies, pies, and cigarettes. His part time job at Record World was ideal for a music enthusiast who was better at enjoying music than playing. A visit the Radio Avon studio made a great impression on him so these days he makes sure young people visiting his studio have a good experience. He worked for an airline in Chch; the main benefit was surplus food he could bring home to the flat. OE in Scotland was remembered for the cold. Hoops is very enthusiastic, loves his work and his Hokonui radio show has a loyal following in Ashburton. He gave us a short history of Hokonui and is grateful for the strong local support when the corporate owners proposed dispense with local announcers and feed the signal from Auckland. That strong support caused the corporate to change direction and retain Hoops and his morning show, one of the few similar local radio shows remaining. Meetings second Tuesday of month, Senior’s Centre 206 Cameron St, 9.30 am. Visitors welcome. Phone Andrew 308-5972. ashcomboclub@gmail.com

A large lot of births but a lot left at hospital by parents never coming back to collect them. Trafficking of children is a problem.

Now all midwifes are trained. Julie was thanked by Lois. Meeting closed at 11.30. Next meeting is the 23 November at 9.45am followed by Xmas Lunch.

Ashburton Golf Club

A quiet weekend for the members on the Brandon with the Ladies SI Interprovincials being played. The Aorangi girls put on a good show and were well served by the Ashburton players. The Aorangi men also put in a solid performance at St Clair, so well done to all the Ashburton rep players. The 9 holers did play on Saturday and the text chatter went off with Matt letting me know that Dick Hansen had got 18 points (a 9 hole par score) in the first 5 holes, he then went on to snaffle himself a whopping 29 points for the full 9, an awesome performance, which I think may have just snuck him into first place. A mini bus of Jolly boys headed away on a mystery trip ending up at Fairlie. First stop was the pie shop, then we were made very welcome at the golf club. None of our boys stood proud in the results, though one match up did stand out. Hoppy playing off 4 was matched up with a new Fairlie player, playing off a 36 who then went on to shoot the same gross as the big fella on the first 9 and ended up with a decent 49 points. Tough school! After being well beat on the course, we had to bounce back well in the clubrooms and that we did, with a stack of raffle prizes and being the last lot to finally leave, we held our heads high. A quick stop at the Village Inn Geraldine seemed harmless enough. After a swift couple, safety officer Perry herded the cats back towards the bus then promptly snapped the key off in the drivers door lock. The lovely Mrs Hopster was called and after much grovelling and promises of future good deeds, she kindly drove out to pick up the spare key and bring it to us, as the once herded cats scarpered back into the bar. A great day was had, many thanks to Captain Terry, Perry the ham fisted driver and the wonderful Wendy. This week the course has been undergoing maintenance and re opens for Friday night golf. A mixed ambrose will be held on Saturday and then on Monday we have the Centenial Trophy which is a mixed individual stableford. Pop along and join in the fun. Good golfing.

The Moylan Trophy was won by Barbara Danielson and Northchurch Trophy by Barbara Burst. Ngaire Gibbs won the raffle. Our Guest Speaker was Jo Metcalf from Memory Funerals who gave us a very informative and light hearted talk on her role as a Funeral Director. She told us that there are many options for the type of funeral you can have these days as well as prices. It is very important that your family know what you would like so their requests can be carried out. You can even provide your own casket but do make sure it is the right size. In today’s world with a shortage of land for burials, cremations are the most popular. What you do with the ashes is entirely up to you but they should not be scattered in the sea or river because of contamination or in any public gardens. Catherine Thomas thanked Jo and presented her with a fruit parcel and invited her to stay for afternoon tea, where she was in demand answering questions from some of our members.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Today will test your endurance, and if you persist, you will pocket a prize, tiny in comparison with the other takeaway, which is the enormous satisfaction that comes from knowing you can count on yourself. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’ll deal in a different culture, not having to do with regions but with a professional setting or a social group. It is possible to remain true to your core and still let some of the influence rub off on you. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Some things cannot be accomplished with effort. In fact, the more effort you put in, the worse they’ll turn out. To know if this is the case, pull away; do nothing; and watch for improvement. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Give a thought to the environment you’ll be operating within. The easier you make it for yourself, the better you can focus on the details that will make your work transcendent from the usual fare. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The desire for freedom is a trap. Whatever you choose, it comes with responsibility. The real freedom is loving your choice so much you don’t mind being trapped by it. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Accept your feelings, one and all, especially ones that might make you weak, vulnerable or unattractive. Approve them, because it’s the only chance you have at steering those emotions. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): While it would be wrong to impose your care, you’ll be dealing with people who won’t easily accept what they need. Ask whether you can help. They’ll probably say no the first time. Wait a bit and ask again later. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Your appreciation of the beauty around you is a kind of meditation now, especially when you can take it privately, without having to express with language what it means to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): In matters of trust, someone has to lead, and it will probably be you. You’ll give your trust, and the other person will be trustworthy. If you withdraw your trust, the other person will too. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Others won’t see truth until you point it out. Of course, what you’ll point out is actually your truth, not the truth, which is still mysterious. Your truth is a start. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Follow your instinct to assess who gets what and why. In the animal world, territorial knowledge is a matter of life and death. For you, it will be a smart and lucrative thing to figure out. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Jealous people have been known to do terrible things. Avoid attracting envy. Keep your cards close to the vest. Today, the only one who needs to know about your assets and accomplishments is you.

FIGHTING FIT Ford Gerbes is using his kickboxing skillset to encourage fitness in Ashburton.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 191020-HM-002

By Heather Mackenzie heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Ford Gerbes is staging a revolution in the Hampstead rugby club rooms, three nights a week. Gerbes, himself a competitive kickboxer, said he started FightFit Fitness a year ago to train people in the martial art, but word of his holistic training methods spread, and now men and women of all ages, with varying fitness levels and goals, take part. “We are a pretty relaxed bunch.

“There are no judgements here, just support and encouragement.” One thing he wanted to make clear – the words Fight-Fit have nothing to do with physical violence, but rather fighting to get fit. “Let’s fight to get off the couch and get fit together,” he said. “We are fighting the chain of self-doubt and disbelief by stepping people outside their comfort zone; we are fighting weight issues through increased fitness and we are fighting to building

stronger bonds within our community. “Fitness is a great foundation for a better life and increased wellbeing,” says Gerbes. Wellbeing is very important to Gerbes, so he has closely aligned the Fight-Fit Fitness philosophy with Whare Tapa Wha, the four pillars of Maori Health. Developed by Sir Mason Durie in 1984, Gerbes said the Whare Tapa Wha pillars of taha tinana, physical wellbeing, taha hinengaro, mental wellbeing, taha wairua, spiritual wellbeing and

taha whanau, family wellbeing all represent what he is working towards with his classes. “These pillars are all part and parcel of self-discipline. If people work on their taha tinana, taha hinengaro and, taha wairua here, that positive energy is then taken home and shared with their taha whanau; everybody wins.” Gerbes’ skill in tailoring workouts to individual needs has seen some dramatic results in his 12 months of operation. “One guy has lost 10 kilograms in three months, another has

stayed drug and alcohol free for 12 months.” “Replacing food or drugs with exercise may seem like a simple thing, but it is massive for the people going through it.” To date Gerbes has been largely funding the project himself, but as his classes have increased in popularity he needs more equipment. “I am looking into applying for grants or finding sponsorship to help us grow. We have a facebook page if anyone wants to find out more,” he said.
