OPUKE POOLS UNDER WAY By Susan Sandys

Susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Work is under way at Opuke Thermal Pools and Spa in Methven. This week Fulton Hogan construction workers are laying out the building pads for the project’s 240-square metre pump shed. It is the first stage in a development which has been planned for many years, as residents aim to build the town’s yearround tourism potential.

The project is set to take shape over the next year prior to opening in time for ski season 2021. Next week Harmer Earthmoving will move on site and begin excavation after already having levelled out the site and removed the top soil. Diggers will begin earthworks, ultimately to encompass an ornamental lake, building embankments and a solar farm slope. A concrete slab for the pump shed will

go down next week and Totalspan are to arrive on site to build it. Spokesman James McKenzie said the pump shed will look like a farm building, but its prominence will fade from view as the embankments and other landscape features are created. A large outdoor lake more than 700sq m2 will have both an ornamental and practical purpose, but will not be for bathing in. It will add a visual element, alongside

the mountain views framed by the embankments, while it will be practical from the perspective of providing a place to dump excess solar energy in summer and gain heat from in winter. The hot pools will be outdoors, with many coming up to the buildings and merging under the roofline. Construction will begin in earnest on the project’s main building, to house facilities such as cafes, bars, reception, spa and changing rooms, in September.

Dog lovers apply in droves for daycare role By Susan Sandys

susan.s@theguardian.co.nz

Dog lovers applied in their droves for a dream job at Golden Paws on Dobson Street. Owner-operator Jane Schuster said about 20 were in touch with her on the first day she ran an online advertisement for a new dog groomer/dog caregiver, and about 50 altogether applied in the following week. She would be choosing someone this week. “I think there’s a lot of dog lovers and people who are interested in the job and getting their grooming certificate, it’s a trade that’s growing and there’s a need for it, and there’s a huge interest in the field of daycare,” Schuster said. But, as cute as the job sounded, it was in fact highly energetic and full-on. “Animals are living things, you have to have a lot of patience to

work with them.” Being physically strong was also a good attribute, as was being able to handle stressful situations. Dogs at Golden Paws were all shapes and sizes, ranging from as small as chihuahuas to as large as newfoundlands. It was a hands-on role, involving grooming, pampering dogs at the salon, spending time with the daycare dogs, as well as reception and booking duties. It was a newly created threeday-per-week position at Golden Paws, which would grow to be a full-time role. Schuster said applications had come from locals, but also from around New Zealand, including from people who were planning to relocate to Mid Canterbury after losing their jobs due to Covid-19.

Base youth centre co-ordinator Jenny Rae and S.E.E.D.S co-ordinator Marie McAnulty have gone into the e-book publishing business together. McAnulty said that during lockdown she was approached by many of her families with questions about how and what to cook. “Many of them had never really cooked before and had no idea on menu planning or food budgeting.” It was questions like these that prompted a conversation with Rae and together the two of them came up with the idea of an e-book that could be accessed by all online. Thanks to a government grant designed during lockdown for projects just like this, Rae and McAnulty were able to approach a design company and get their ideas put together in a professional way. Titled Thrifty Cooking, Lockdown Favourites, the index lists help on planning

meals and shopping right though to baby food and desserts. The book offers ways to cut back on costs, but still allows families to cook hearty, healthy and tasty meals and snacks for the family. Written by Rea, the introduction explains how food can take up a big chunk of the household budget, making it a good place to start with saving money. Rae is a master of budgeting. In her role at Base she takes teenagers away on a Cactus camp each year. It is possible to feed 25 active people three filling meals a day for $30 each, it’s all about shopping smarter and adding bulk, she said. Even before setting foot in the supermarket Rae suggests sitting down with the supermarket special flyers and planning the week’s meals from there. “Shop in season, look at what is on special, plan your meals, and then write your grocery list and stick to it when you get to the supermarket.”

Along with recipe ideas and budget tips Rae and McAnulty have also included tips like getting children involved with the supermarket shopping. One particularly clever idea is to send them on seek and find missions looking for the best price items. It can also prevent kids from putting stray things in the trolley, she said. Thanks to local printing company DPI the duo also has 220 hard copies to give out as well. McAnulty said her families are really looking forward to getting their hands on a copy. Now the design template has been created, Rae and McAnulty are planning to put together other books and are already gathering ideas for a gluten and dairy-free option.

Event goes off without a hitch By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

The pending weather might have threatened to curtail their plans but Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery Club president John Hall couldn’t have been much happier with how their weekend went. The club held their Mid Canterbury Vintage Machinery annual ploughing match at the farm of Rob and Alan Begg on the weekend and were offered up some good conditions for this time of year. Most important was the fact that the predicted rain held off until the end of play. Twenty-two competitors, across five categories, lined up to take part in the club’s annual event. Adding an extra vintage note to the day was the club’s mobile whare. Hall said he had made sure to light the wooden stove to keep match officials warm. Regular Clydesdale ploughing contestants, Sharon and John Chynoweth, made the trip from Oxford for the weekend. Sharon said the horses, Flash, who is nine and his ten-year-old half-brother Blue, love strutting their stuff at ploughing matches. “When they realise we are going away to a match, they stand at the gate ready to go.”

Clydesdale half-brothers Flash left, and Blue enjoyed their day at the Mid-Canterbury vintage machinery ploughing match held at Rob and Alan Begg’s Wakanui property on Saturday. PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 280620-HM-001

The Chynoweth’s got into competitive ploughing in 2015. Sharon said the first plough they had didn’t perform so well on its first outing behind team. “We couldn’t even get it into the ground,” she said. Thankfully a close friend realised their plight and offered them their 1870 plough that was adding ‘rural character’ to their garden. After a quick walk around it

John liked what he saw and loaded it onto the truck. John said it didn’t take much to get it into working order again. “A bit of a tidy-up, a lick of blue paint and it was good to go.” Being over 150-years-old, ploughing shares for it were certainly out of stock, so John made his own. At their first match Sharon said the one-time garden ornament

went like a dream. “Even though it is quite heavy the horses found it so much easier to pull,” she said. Both Sharon and John said they enjoy the level of precision needed for competition ploughing. John said it requires a certain amount of mathematics to make sure the distances are right to ensure an evenly turned-over plot. “But, not more than here is in

building or dressmaking for example,” he said. The dressmaking reference is a nod to Sharon’s skills as a seamstress. For the most part Flash and Blue get along fine, but every so often Sharon said there is a bit of a dust-up in their ranks when Blue thinks Flash encroaches on his personal space. “Blue is definitely the boss out of the two of them. When they are working Blue will certainly give Flash a shoulder shove if he’s annoyed,” said Sharon. Originally their plan was to compete in Wakanui on Saturday and then head to Rakaia on Sunday, whoever the weather had other ideas, when rain forced the Rakaia match to be pushed back to next Saturday July 4. Saturday’s results were as follows: Taking out the silver plough win was B. Mehrtens, second was A. Seaton, third, W. Seaton and R. Casey (qualifies) was fourth. Vintage Qualifying winner was C. Boon (qualifies), second place went to P. Watson and third was taken out by R. Weavers. The days Vintage Open class saw J. Stalker atop of the podium with C. Begg in second and E. Barnes took out third. The Clydesdale section was won by John and Sharon Chynoweth with Blue and Flash.

Taylors Stream shut for winter The Ashburton District Council has had to shut the gates to the Taylors Stream camping and picnicking area on Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road for the remainder of winter, following significant vehicle damage to the grassy area. The wet and colder conditions has left the rural reserve vulnerable to car tyres cutting up the area, and this damage has forced the council to close the area until spring. The council regularly inspect the condition of this area around this time of year, to ensure the grassy areas are preserved and well maintained. Taylors Stream is located on the Inland Scenic Route, north of Staveley, and is used by picnickers and freedom campers. Bowyers Stream and Hinds River, north of Mayfield, remain open for picnics and self-contained overnight stays.

In brief New pest discovered A pest known for damaging tomato plants and other crops has been detected in New Zealand for the first time. The Ministry for Primary Industries said two populations of the tomato red spider mite (Tetranychus evansi) were found near Auckland Airport and in Pakuranga as part of routine surveillance several weeks ago. Tomato red spider mites are the size of a full stop and are very difficult to identify. The mite’s main hosts are plants in the solanaceae family, including tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. They also attack beans, kumara and some ornamentals – roses and orchids. MPI said the mite got its name because it eats tomato plants, is red, and makes silk webbing to protect itself and its eggs, like some spiders do.

Life for teen murderer

Monday morning smash One person was transported to hospital with minor to moderate injuries following another crash at the intersection of Belt and Middle roads. Emergency services were called to the scene at around 10.30am yesterday morning. A police spokesperson said a tow was arranged for one of the vehicles, which can be seen in the photo.

An Southland teenager will spend at least 11 years behind bars for the murder of a nine-year-old boy Hunter MacIntosh. The teenager, Daniel Cameron, sat emotionless throughout his hearing yesterday, often staring at the floor, even as the boy’s family directly addressed him. He pleaded guilty in March and had had name suppression until yesterday. Justice Rachel Dunningham sentenced him to life imprisonment and imposed a 11-year non-parole period.

Numbers down, but Fords still rolled By Heather Mackenzie

heather.m@theguardian.co.nz

Sunday’s Ford Cruise numbers may have been down a little from what organiser Jayden Williams expected, but given the weather he said 27 cars was a respectable turnout. In what was Williams’ second Ford Cruise event, he said it was great to see such a wide variety of Fords rock up. Everything from a Courier twin cab ute, to a 1972 V8 Fairlane, he said. “The Fairlane had been passed down with in the family from father to son, it is all still original and in great condition.” According to Williams, owner Justin Watson was pretty excited to be carrying on the family tradition driving the Ford with his son Aidan riding shotgun. The light drizzle did nothing to dampen the spirits of the cruisers as they set of from the Ashburton Domain, heading for Methven via the Hakatere Huts. “People told me they have been looking for something locally like this for ages, but they are normally in Christchurch or Timaru.” Williams said one of the day’s highlights was seeing a bunch of like-minded people getting together, making new friends and enjoying a good-old Sunday drive. “Everybody loved having their photos taken and taking their own, it was great.” Williams has another outing planed for October 18. While the details of the route are yet to be

There are two new cases of Covid-19 in managed isolation facilities in the country yesterday, the Ministry of Health has confirmed. Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said there are still no cases reported from the community. Both cases have been in managed isolation since they arrived and are now in the quarantine facility in Auckland, Dr Bloomfield said. One is a man in his 50s who arrived in NZ from India on June 24 – his result came from day 3 testing. The second is a woman in her 20s who arrived from the US on June 18, the wife of a previous case who tested positive on June 22 and was already in quarantine as she was considered a close contact.

ironed out, he said the cruise will be open to all types of cars, not just his beloved Fords, he said. “We will take a different route next time, perhaps in the Methven to Mayfield foothills area. I’ve not really worked it out yet.” For more information, head to his Jays Photography Facebook page. Right – Mike Campbell and six-year-old son Quinn with their 1987 ZL Ford Fairlane. 280620-RH-004

National MP and ousted deputy leader Paula Bennett has announced she will not be standing at the upcoming election. Paula Bennett said she would be taking her skills to “the business world”. The Upper Harbour MP says she has had an incredible time in politics and was looking forward to her next career – in business. Bennett said she had always wanted another career after politics and now was the right time to do that. She said, “I think it’s time for me to put me first, and I think that means a new career. This is me being really selfish for the first time in 15 years and saying what do I want out of life? Obviously there’s been some reflection for me over the last three or four weeks... I always felt that I’d been contributing to the country and the National Party but as I say for the first time in a long time, I got to not think about a leader and not thinking about a political party and instead think about what I wanted.”

EDITOR

When is enough, enough?

fter a nice and sustained period of being able to bask in the glory of our Covid-19 success, this country is now running the risk of being left behind by the rest of the world. Our systems and ideologies around how best to handle the global pandemic were met with great fanfare from across the globe. A country in control, a country being well led and a country well on the path to being back to normal before anyone else, one story read. Now though, we’re a distant memory. Mistakes at the border and mistakes during isolation have put us on the back foot, and while other major countries start to begin to return to doing what they’ve done for longer than most care to remember, we’re sitting stagnant. A trip over the ditch for the average New Zealander seems, now, out of reach. Disappointing, because not all that long ago we were celebrating the impending arrival of a trans-Tasman bubble. The issue isn’t so much the when, it’ll happen and run it’s own course. The issue is more the how. What’s the game plan here, New Zealand – how are we going to achieve this? We can sit on our hands and wait for things to happen, there’s no drama in that – but it may well lead to a case of missed opportunity. I look across social media channels and I see English folk who, despite having Covid cases falling out of their suitcases, are hopping on planes and heading abroad and that’s frustrating. We’re supposed to be in control of this. In control of our own fate and showing the rest of the world how it’s done. Sure, there are concerns and there are systems in place for a reason – but, give a Kiwi some hope here. Let us know what the procedure is that allows those parts of life that we so dearly desire to begin again, do happen again. We’ve made the sacrifices, we’re owed that much.

Quality of waterways E

veryone wants improvements to the quality of water in our streams, rivers and lakes; trouble is there’s disagreement about how to achieve it, how fast that needs to happen, and at what cost. Federated Farmers is encouraged by signs there is growing recognition that targeted action on issues particular to different catchments will be far more effective – in terms of cost and results – than blunt, blanket regulations. When the government first released its Essential Freshwater proposals last year, there was an outcry not just from farmers, but also many other sector groups, including the local authorities that would have to administer and enforce the regulations. Maybe it was the 17,000 submissions, maybe it was the fact there’s an election this year, or – and I like to think this was the deciding factor – maybe common sense prevailed … whatever the case, the result is the Action for Healthy Waterways

Cam Henderson

FROM THE FARM

reforms signed off by Cabinet on May 28 are more reasonable and practical. For example, Federated Farmers agrees with the push for Farm Environment Plans to be rolled out over a reasonable timeframe, we’re pleased that waterway fencing distance requirements are now 3m, not 5m, and that existing fencing doesn’t have to be ripped up and moved. But there are still plenty of fishhooks, inconsistencies and vague definitions that we are raising with the Ministry for the Environment and Ministry from Primary Industries as Cabinet’s policy decisions are translated into the actual regulations that will apply. But to give credit where it’s due, the government has also

just announced an additional $3 million for the NZ Landcare Trust, an investment Feds lobbied for in our submission on the freshwater proposals. This investment will enable the trust to employ a team of regional coordinators to work with the farming community on integrating sustainable land and water management practices into their farming systems. Farmer and community-led catchment groups, working on priorities particular to their district and topography, have proven effectiveness. This where we’ll get real, lasting improvement in rural water quality. Cam Henderson is president of Federated Farmers North Canterbury.

Agricultural Policy Adviser What a sad day when a farmer mayor thinks council needs a staff member as an agricultural adviser. This district has many very capable people who could be used on many subjects not just farming but, sadly, council turn to desk consultants. Another sad point is the CEO has no confidence in his farmer mayor on farming that he needs someone in-house. There has never been a budget or need for an agri staff so I wonder why only two councillors opposed this. Farmer ratepayers submissions have managed to get the roading budget up to close to what is needed only to have this lot cross a very large amount off that spend for next year. Come on councillors, let’s get value for our rates. Peter Reveley

MARKET REPORT By Guy Trafford

ith the heavy rain that Hawkes Bay and other parts of drought affected country received over the last week, the soils are starting to be in a fit state for a restart in the spring. However, that is only the start of a recovery. Several things tend to happen with adverse effects on farms, most likely farmers bank accounts would have been hammered by having to buy in additional feed to keep stock alive, and hopefully, in a state where they are able to achieve reasonable prices when sold. This aspect was severely compounded for some by the saleyards being in lockdown, a situation I believe was poorly managed and showed a complete lack of imagination by those with the ability to control this. The other thing that can occur is some farmers may actually have inflated bank accounts as they have bailed out of capital stock (largely breeding and replacement animals) early on and have received additional income this year but have lost their ability to farm in the future unless, or until, they buy in replacement animals to restock. This means that they are potentially up for additional tax. However, farming has experienced droughts before (too often, unfortunately) and the IRD has a deferred income system where the additional income can be spread over later years and be put against the restocking costs. The crunch part comes from the fact that it is likely that the cost of replacement stock will be higher than (often considerably) the price achieved for stock sold, which often occurs under

adverse conditions. This year with Covid-19 adding another layer of complexity and schedules through the winter (now) pre-lock-down prices have still have not caught up. This may mean those farmers who made the decision to destock early and include capital stock among the destock may be in an ‘ok’ financial decision on current prices, but again, the reality is restocking will not be able to occur until after spring growth has begun, and when prices tend to peak. Also, any restocking ignores the potential loss of genetics which is difficult to put a measure on but could be considerable. Government has provided some assistance, $19 million at the last count and probably the total for this current drought. The majority of this has been in the form of providing farmer ‘wrap around ‘support; that is, looking after mental health, rural communities and latterly assistance with feed budgeting etc from ‘experts’. Given that, on March 12 2020, the Government classified the drought as a large-scale adverse event for: all of the North Island, the top of the South Island (Marlborough, Tasman, Kaikoura) down to North Canterbury (Selwyn District, Christchurch City (including Banks Peninsula), Waimakariri District, Hurunui District, and Kaikoura District) and the Chatham Islands. This makes up close to two thirds of the country and a similar percentage of farms which might mean there have been 27,000 farms affected (dairy and sheep and beef farms total around 42,000 farms). This made the initial $500,000 fund for farmers to get professional farming advice (which I admit I found a bit laughable at

the time, as too little, and most farmers know what they should be doing) woefully inadequate as was shown by the gross over subscription to the point where it has been lifted to $3 million now. I do wonder how it is being allocated as the administration has been done by MPI, and assuming AsureQuality and big brother MPI have similar pricing regimes, then it could soon be gobbled up by administration. For AQ to complete on farm food processing audits we get whacked $245 per hour, and for that princely sum the agents are not even meant to answer questions. This came after the last budget. Remember the: “This initiative will alleviate increased pressure on the food safety system and address current issues owing to legislative, demographic and market drivers. It will enable the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to deliver critical support to small, medium and rural-based food businesses; promote business participation and growth; address misalignment across critical food legislation; and investigate robust data requirements to inform regulations and set food and health standards.” This was a $2.5 million fund, so again peanuts in the context of government spending and given how costs have gone up. Perhaps our Minister needs reminding. The irony in New Zealand is that the agricultural sector expects little help from government and yet it is the most important export sector. When an eye is cast over other developed countries where agriculture is nowhere near as important as an export sector, almost without fail governments are far more generous

and to a point where it impacts adversely upon New Zealand agriculture. On a similar topic, there has been some belated recognition that just maybe too much productive land is likely to go into forestry under the ETS program. MPI Minister Damien O’Connor has said that if too much productive land starts to disappear then a cap may be put on the area. When pressed on what “too much” might look like he mentioned the figure of 40,000 ha per year. Given that the current area of exotic forestry in New Zealand is around 1.7 million hectares. The Minister said that 6000 ha of ‘new land’ has gone into forestry in each of the last two years. Fed Farmers have said the figure for 2019 was 22,000 ha. When a search of the MPI’s website is done: The provisional new planting estimate for the year ending December 31 2019 is 22,000 hectares. This number may be revised in the 2020 NEFD (National Exotic Forest Description). So, either the Minister is talking about something totally different or needs to have a serious chat to whomever provides him with the numbers. If the ETS prices alluded to by Minister James Shaw are reached, then 40,000ha seems a quite plausible figure to be achieved. No doubt there is still a conversation to be had and probably Minister of Forestry Shane Jones will have something to say on the topic especially if he wants to achieve his 1 billion trees target. I also presume any regulations regarding a cap on land being converted to trees would require a significant piece of regulation, as it will bite into the rules around “willing buyer” and “willing seller”.

The markets Small steps again on the meat schedule but nothing has gone backwards except the saleyards appear to have softened a little. Perhaps they were getting over heated and too far out of step with published meat schedules. Again, wool is the biggest loser.

Meat

While all schedules have been moving in the right direction the last few weeks, one trend that seem to be coming apparent is the widening gap that is appearing between the North Island and South Island schedules. This is steadily moving in the North Island’s favour. Mutton and venison are exceptions. Some processors have wider gaps than others so the message to farmers is to shop around. Not a good message when we should be hoping to move to more contracted orders and stability within the works. As stated saleyards virtually across the board have come back a tad on all classes, although killable sheep appear to be ahead of schedule still.

Wool

The story keeps getting worse with prices finding lows not seen probably since decimal currency came in (July 10 1967) on second thoughts just checked, 1977 hit $1.90 but for greasy, was around only 60 cents in the 1960s but there were also around 50-60 million sheep (currently the number is nearer 27 million).

Dairy The next GDT takes place this week given that China has had a few problems again with Covid-19 prices may still be flattish.

Mix of experience, new blood in Fed Farmers board Federated Farmers chief executive Terry Copeland is confident the newly-elected national board encompasses the depth of experience and expertise needed to maintain the organisation’s role as an effective voice for all farmers. “Feds has been a grass roots-driven organisation for all of its 120 years and the elected leaders of our 24 provinces and our six industry groups have chosen high-calibre and committed people to sit at our top table,” Copeland said. Manawatu dairy farmer Andrew Hoggard was confirmed as the new President at the national AGM. As Vice-President for the three-year term just ending, Andrew has proved himself as an energetic and able representative, especially in his roles as spokesperson on climate change, commerce and connectivity, Copeland says. Wairarapa farmer Karen Williams, who has a background in resource management and environmental planning, finishes her term as Arable Industry Group chairman and takes on the Vice-President role. The new Arable chairman is South Canterbury’s Colin Hurst, the 2019 Arable Farmer of the Year. New blood on the national board includes Golden Bay Provincial President and YOLO Farmer Wayne Langford, who has just taken up the reins as Dairy Industry Group chairman, and Wairarapa Provincial President William Beetham, who is the new Meat & Wool Industry Group chairman. For the two board ‘at large’ positions, the provincial delegates have voted to retain the knowledge and experience of the two Chris’ – Waikato’s Chris Lewis, who finishes his term as Dairy chairman, and Canterbury’s Chris Allen, who has been integral to Federated Farmers’ advocacy on complicated water and biodiversity issues over the last six years.

She brought her own style to the role and made it a priority to increase the level of understanding between urban and rural New Zealand. “I want to continue that work, and also the advocacy we’ve been doing with central and local government politicians and officials on getting them to recognise that policies and regulations need to achieve a balance between protecting the environment and preserving livelihoods, always keeping practicality and cost-effectiveness in mind.” Andrew also thanked retiring board members Miles Anderson (Meat & Wool) and Andrew Maclean (at large) for their hard work and dedication.

Ashburton Guardian

The hazards of climate By Connor Lysaght

hen it comes to tales of Ashburton District’s past, there is no shortage of tales that testify to the harsh nature of early European settler life in the area. In recent heritage page articles, we have explored the challenges winter weather posed to local transport and industry, station life and domestic matters. As Alex Hewson described in his 1918 reminisces, some of his most vivid memories of living at Clent Hills in the winter of 1878 include jugs of water freezing overnight indoors, and only being able to butcher slain sheep with a handsaw as all other tools were useless. Hewson also fixated on the work and hardships endured at Mount Peel Station, the waters near which claimed a number of lives during the station’s early days. Bush, Bullocks & Boulders: The story of the Upper Ashburton by William Vance, 1976, gives us crucial historical background on subjects such as stations, hotels and life in Alford Forest and other localities, spanning 36 chapters in all. In keeping with our recent theme of winter woes and hardships endured by early European settlers in the area, this week we will be exploring the impact of hazardous winter conditions across upper Ashburton in the early days. Drifts and deluges According to William Vance, “almost every decade saw a big Canterbury snowstorm. Each storm had brought its individual problem, but experience from the previous one enabled the sheep farmer to better cope with the new one”. Without the use of modern machinery and the services available today – which we should consider a luxury – farming became a colossal challenge in the colder months. Charles Cox, of Mount Somers Station, wrote about the 1867 Canterbury snowstorm, recalling that he had said to Robinson Clough, an old whaler at Alford Forest, “well, we are not going to have any winter this year”. “Don’t say that,” he replied. Cox mentioned that until the middle of July the weather had been so fine that they had seen a few ripe strawberries, apples, and pears – but on the 29th of that month, it seems that he had jinxed it. “It commenced snowing and never ceased until August 5, when the whole country lay a glittering sheet of snow.” Allegedly, Mr Peter, of Anama, had found sheep dead on their backs “in drifts which could not have been less than 90 feet deep”. After a day’s work, Cox and company at Mount Somers Station managed to rescue 400 to 500 sheep who were trapped in drifts as high as the eaves of the sheds, having located them by dark spots in the snow. Trapped and confused

During the 1895 snowstorm, six men endured a harrowing experience which only gets a brief mention by Vance. At the time of the snowstorm, Walter Fagan was working behind Blackford Station, in the company of Bill Wright, Bill Syme, Ed Vause, Aleck McLennan and Tom Bright as packman. The group were caught by the

storm, “and for 10 days snow imprisoned them in their tent”. Eventually, they ran out of food and had nothing to eat but what they caught – sheep. A more tragic story from 1875 attests once more to the sheer danger posed by the season, in which a man by the name of J. Armstrong became horribly lost. Vance explains: “The bareness

and lack of any landmarks in early times is shown by the case of J. Armstrong. He was on his way home one day in 1875 to his home at Mt Somers Station where he was employed as a gardener. “Getting completely lost in a snowstorm he succumbed to the blizzard and was found dead, huddled up in a snowdrift not

very far from his own place.” The stories presented in Bush, Bullocks & Boulders can make us aware of just how lucky our predecessors could be in some situations and how quickly the elements, which we rely on and coexist with, can turn against us. Once again – stay warm, look after each other and be careful in the snow this winter!

It was similarly competitive between Methven (Methven Paddock Vets) and Ashburton College 9A with Methven clinching a 24-19 win. Rounding out the afternoon in the senior grade were AshColl’s 10B outfit and Methven (Methven Trucking) as Methven bossed the encounter with a 41-8 demo job. Across court and the senior reserves comprised of another two competitive matchups and blowout result.

Warriors pick up a new prop

Baabaas downed in thriller The Ashburton Barbarians’ side continue to make ground during the opening stages of rugby league’s Canterbury Cup despite falling to a second straight loss. The Mid Cantabrians were edged 24-20 by rivals the Burnham Chevaliers in a topsy-turvy encounter at Robilliard Park on Saturday. After trailing 16-10 at the break, the visitors consolidated in the second 40 and eventually took the lead with 10 minutes remaining on the clock. The Barbarians have the bye this weekend before facing off again with Burnham on Saturday week. PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 270620-RH-025

The Warriors have signed Penrith Panthers prop Jack Hetherington on loan. The deal is immediate after the Sydney Roosters recalled front rower Poasa Faamausili. Faamausili spent a month with the Warriors on loan in the wake of their heavy injury toll among their middle forwards. The 1.90m, 107kg Hetherington, Penrith’s 2018 NRL rookie of the year, has made 16 NRL appearances, the last of them in the Panthers’ first-round win over the Roosters in March. “Ivan Cleary, the Panthers and the NRL have been terrific in making Jack available so quickly after we lost Poasa,” said Warriors recruitment manager Peter O’Sullivan. “Jack had a breakout year in 2018 and will give us the qualities we’re looking for, a big man in the middle who is tough defensively. Players met with NRL bosses Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo on Saturday to discuss their immediate future, with some wanting to return home to New Zealand immediately. The club’s homesick players agreed to remain in Australia for another two weeks amid attempts with government to have their families allowed into the country.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): A scenario that’s got your attention matches up with a subconscious script, a memory imprinted on your childhood brain. In other words, you’ve seen this one before. Now is your chance to fix it. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You’re worrying unnecessarily about the practicality of your own wishes. It’s not up to you to decide what’s within the realm of reality. Let yourself dream wild and free. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Attention is like a key; it has a particular shape and every lock is different. Ill-fitting attention won’t open doors or lead anywhere. Cater your focus. Give what the other person actually needs. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): “Progressive desensitisation” is the clinical name for today’s success key. Dive in and start facing fear. The only way to get to the place you want to be is to do a thing until you are no longer afraid of it. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): If you’re not sure, don’t do it. Action will suffer from the doubt you feel. What’s worse is that the others on your team, or the opposing team, will sense that you’re not all in. It’s an all-or-nothing kind of day. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Better to be wise than clever. You could be both, but today you’ll choose one, forgetting about the applause and fame and going for the quiet strength of simply doing the right thing. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’re still allowed to have fun, and, in fact, it’s the most important work of the day. When you impart your own enjoyment of life to your circle, you enrich the lives of everyone in the circle. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): There’s an art to seizing the day. It’s all in the grip. Keep it vigorous but not so hard that it constricts the flow of spontaneity that makes the hours so engaging. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Follow through on your instinct to tell people upfront what they can expect from you – your desires, talents and follies – because, together, you can figure out straight away if there’s a fit. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Communication will be as effective as it is specific. It will give you clarity to know exactly to whom you’re aiming your work, words and even your manner of dress. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Kudos to you for continually making the effort to learn something new. Each talent brings with it a circle of people who need or share that talent. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Time marches forward in slow steady steps, but emotions often take leaps and bounds. These two styles of movement will play against one another to create some interesting perception and tension now.

Combined XV won’t back down

By Adam Burns

A depleted Mid Canterbury Combined outfit is refusing to throw in the towel despite two heavy losses and a niggly injury toll. Head coach Shane Enright said keeping squad morale high was important, following two tough UC Championship outings. Combined were thumped 41-5 by Waimea Combined in Methven at the weekend, which leaves the young side at the foot of UC ladder. Enright said a lack of experience had been a factor when facing older and more settled lineups. “Most of them are Year 11 and

12 boys, and it’s just a huge task,” he said. “That’s where we’re really struggling is the skill level and the intensity. “Talking to Waimea afterwards

bury side’s prospects. The team lost talented first-five and captain Sam Ree inside the opening minutes of Saturday’s game, and that was after losing one of their front rowers pregame to injury. Ree’s ankle injury is expected to keep him out for a couple of weeks in another blow ahead of this weekend’s game against Christ’s College. Both Christian Thompson and Michael Hennings remain in the casualty ward, with their impending returns still a few weeks away. “We’re not helped by injuries,” Enright said. Although beaten soundly

and they were in the same boat last year, and now they’re more experienced and older as Year 13s.” A run of injuries have continued to hamper the Mid Canter-

on the scoreboard, Combined showed strong physical presence and dynamism with ball in hand, with productive fullback Thomas Patterson combining well with right wing Charlie Brown. The side was rewarded for their fight when wing Liam Sullivan picked up a second half five-pointer. However their set piece unravelled as the side lost six consecutive throw-ins, no doubt a focus for coaching staff this week. The team do boast a very promising back row the form of Fonoga Lisala, Ben Middleton and Isilei Ula.

Mid Canterbury’s sports draws and results

“As long as we’re keeping them interested and keeping it fun and making sure they’re enjoying their rugby. “It’s not going to get easier, we’ve still got a lot of big teams to come. “We just have to hang in there and not put the white flag up. “We just have to try and keep improving, make our tackles and try and get some phases together.” Another tough road trip awaits the Mid Canterbury Combined boys this weekend as they face off against UC heavyweights Christ’s College.
