Bombs deployed, in the name Unique bombs have been deployed to help protect some of the region’s rarest visitors as they nest in the Ashburton district.

The Hakatere/Ashburton Rivermouth project aims to protect the area in and around the hapua (coastal lagoon) formed where the river meets the sea.

Recreation and conservation groups are working together to create a space where people can enjoy the river and the sea, while also giving space to nature.

Earlier this month volunteers from Forest & Bird, Kanuka Trust and the Mid Canterbury 4WD Club planted karakeke (native flax), toetoe and ti kouka (cabbage trees) to fill in an area alongside a newly created walkway.

It followed on from a previous planting day in October.

Environment Canterbury (ECan) community engagement co-ordinator Rhys Taylor oversaw the planting, which involved reclaiming rutted four-wheel drive tracks, made in previous informal excursions, as ready-to-use sites for hardy New Zealand native plants.

Taylor said that more than 200 plants went in on each day.

The species were selected for likely tolerance of harsh coastal conditions.

Taylor said that the group also threw “seed bombs” – made from flax seeds enclosed in mud – into the adjacent gorse, as a second introduction method.

“Seedlings can germinate successfully in that shaded and wind-sheltered environment, with benefit from the nitrogen fixed by the gorse,” Taylor said.

The plantings were made possible by recently installed fencing that completes a protected area bordering the south bank of the river and the hapua.

A new walkway passes through the site, taking visitors on a loop through a gorse area between the hapua and river on the Ashton Beach side.

The track includes two simple plank bridges crossing a freshwater stream that runs parallel to the river, which are designed to be easily repositioned after small floods.

MidCanterbury 4WD Club spokesperson, Steve Adam, said alternative routes around the fenced-off area are available for vehicles, helping protect the birds at this time of year when riverbeds are considered “off limits” for their club, to give nesting sites a fair go.

The alternative route leads to a second parking space that has been created at the end of the walkway, offering fishers a shorter walk to the riverbed.

New signage has been installed at both parking areas, identifying the diversity of bird and fish life that can be found at the site, including 24 species that visitors can look out for.

Assistance with the signs came from Braided River Aid group.

ECan biodiversity officer Donna Field said she hopes that in the long term a viewing platform for birdwatching can be added to the site.

“We’re really lucky to have such an abundance of birds come to nest here, especially

nationally vulnerable birds like the pohowera/banded dotterel and tarapuka/blackbilled gull.

“It’s especially great to see the four-wheel drive club take pride in the area too,” Field said.

With an area now reserved for native birds, predator control is becoming more important.

Following the second planting, Forest & Bird members set out traps nearby to help control threats to the nesting birds from egg and chick-eating land animals such as weasels, stoats and hedgehogs.

They will continue to monitor the traps to promote a successful nesting season at the river mouth.

After a record breaking 2020, the Ashburton District’s Lotto luck continued on the weekend with another big dividend winner from our shores – the second win over $300,000 for the month.

Early in November, one MyLotto player from the district collected $333,333 for picking up First Division, while on Saturday night – another player who used the MyLotto App took home the same prize for also winning Lotto First Division.

Had the winning tickets also contained the winning Powerball number the prize would have been significantly greater again.

Saturday night’s winning ticket was joined by two others, one purchased at Countdown Browns Bay in Auckland and the other at the Avondale Foodmarket.

An Ashburton Guardian story earlier in the month revealed that from the start of the year to the end of October, 27 first and second division winning tickets had been purchased in the region but the number has kept growing with a further two big prizes falling to local players.

The two big wins this month are joined by two other significant prizes for the year – noticeably, all came from MyLotto App ticket purchases.

In April, one player shared a third of the $1 million prize pool when they claimed first division while in June another also claimed Division One success, but only had to share it with one other, taking home a cool $500,000 for their efforts.

Of the 29 significant wins for the calendar year only six have been face-to-face purchases at retailers with the remainder all through the online platform – enhanced further by the fact that retail stores were closed during Covid-19 Alert Level Four Lockdown.

Students gear up for fair fundraiser

By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

When it comes to creativity, Ashburton Intermediate students have it in spades.

Since the start of term four the students have taken on an extra workload, creating hundreds of items for their school fair, a biennial event that is used as a fundraiser for a local charity.

Each class appointed a chief executive and as a team the students worked together in technology classes to create items they hope will be crowd pleasers on fair day, December 3.

Year 8 student Ruby Graham and her class have used a Halloween theme to base their creations around.

“We’re making spooky flavoured lip balm and soap and some joke spiders that will jump out of a box,” she said.

And Ruby is keeping her fingers crossed that they win the bid to add a slushy machine to their stall.

Emma Lowry’s class stall will be all about the four elements and they’ve used their art classes to create works that represent these and will include butterflies and snowflakes. They’re bidding to add a barbecue to their stall.

If you look for the stall with Asian-themed goods for sale, you’ll have found the one manned by Year 8 student Luke Rhodes’ class.

They’ve made lanterns with tea light candles and will be selling fortune cookies. He’s keeping his fingers crossed they’re chosen as the ice cream stand.

The school has run a poster competition to promote the fair and the winning class – to be decided this week – will choose the charity to receive fair funds.

While there has been some teacher input during class time, the fair is a student initiative.

It will be held in the school grounds on December 3 from 11am - 2pm, with entry from Walnut Avenue.

Showing off some of the Christmas goodies that will be for sale at the Ashburton Intermediate School Fair are students (from left) Ruby Graham, Emma Lowry and Luke Rhodes.

They’re not meant to be perfect as they are all unique and handmade, there is nothing out there like them and no two are alike.

Hopoate Mo’ale surrounded by the attitude giving Piston Men he has been creating since lockdown.

Turning trash into treasures

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

Something seriously cool is happening in the Mid Canterbury man cave of Hopoate Mo’ale.

The talented artist, a mechanic by trade, is gathering up discarded engine parts and creating Piston Men. He said the idea came to him during lockdown.

“Everybody was doing different stuff then, so I thought I would have a go at making these.”

Using the piston as a starting point Mo’ale said he knows what he wants the finished product to look like and then sets about finding the perfect bit of metal, old

bearing, or defunct starter motor to match his plan.

The more than 80 piston men he’s created so far have taken on different personas, including fishermen, finger-pulling bikers, bullet-biting rifle shooters and bourbon swilling blokes.

“It has to make sense at the end, so each one is carefully thought out, and since they are a man cave thing I give them a bit of attitude too.”

Mo’ale points out he takes old parts that would otherwise be tossed in the rubbish and changes them into something unique and valuable.

“One piston I used came from a brand new motor that only ran for

15 minutes before it broke.”

His Facebook page Upcycle in Hinds as seen orders come in from all over New Zealand and even as far afield as Australia.

The Australian recipient sent images of their piston man happily fishing off a local beach. I made that and there it is in Australia, that is a great feeling, he said.

With each one taking in excess of six hours to make, including polishing and rustproofing, Mo’ale said his booking sheet is full until after Christmas.

Mo’ale’s design and welding skills have certainly improved since he first picked up his welder back in March.

“The first one I made was very

simple. At the time I thought it was pretty good, but now I want to hide it away.”

He doesn’t of course – the somewhat clunky piston man with his bright blue eyes sits on a shelf in the man cave and will be there for many years to come.

His ANZCO workmates tell him his welding skills are still a bit on the rough side, but he tells them that’s the idea.

“They’re not meant to be perfect as they are all unique and handmade, there is nothing out there like them and no two are alike.”

The Mo’ale family are offering two lucky raffle ticket buyers the chance to win their own Piston

Fishing Man. The raffle is being run by the Mo’ales to raise money for two causes close to the family’s heart.

The first one is to support the new autism art group that their son belongs to.

“The group has no funding at this stage, so we really want to support this great group as it has been great for our own son who has Autism Spectrum Disorder,” Mo’ale said.

Funds permitting, the family would love to buy a couple of Chromebooks to give to the local support unit for children with a range of disabilities.

A magical combination of kids, art

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

Magic often happens when you combine children and art, when those children have autism the magic goes to new levels.

Meeting every Monday after school for an hour and a half, Artism, as named by the children, has quickly proved to be the encouraging and supportive environment co-founder Marie Maeva hoped it would be.

“The children just love coming here and will ask their parents or caregivers if they are going to Artism this week.

To begin with Maeva and fellow founder Celia Colcord planned to start meeting earlier in the year, but then lockdown happened and forced them to push the opening day back to term three.

Artism is a spin-off from the Takiwatanga Ashburton for Kids with Autism (TAKA) group that the pair also founded.

TAKA parents soon found their children had a common interest in art, and so we set up this group for them.

Even in the short time the group has been running, Maeva said the change in the children’s communication skills is significant.

“Autistic children can be blunt in their comments, but here I find they are really supportive of each other’s art even though the styles are all varied.”

As well as supporting one another the budding artists are also initiating conversations within the group, and that is something won-

“The art gives them something in common to chat about.”

Children of all ages are welcome to come along and join in, we welcome everybody from preschool upwards, Maeva said.

Artism is held at Ashburton Intermediate, thanks to the kindness

of school principal Brent Gray.

“This is something being run outside of anything we have here, but I was more than happy to provide the space to support what they are doing.”

Gray’s kindness is very much appreciated as Artism is run without funding, with the parents

chipping in to cover the cost of art materials.

The exciting news for the Artism kids is that they will be exhibiting artists in late January or early February next year when they hang their art in the Ashburton Art Gallery.

Community has key role to play in welcoming refugees

By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The timeframes might have changed, but Ashburton is still on target to become home to Afghani refugees.

Covid-19 driven delays have not stopped the district’s resettlement team planning for their arrival, and groups representing health, education, housing, employment and community groups are already forming a solid support network.

That group, Ashburton’s refugee resettlement co-ordinator Kathy Harrington-Watt said, had a great pool of knowledge that would be invaluable as the community worked the welcome and help settle the new arrivals.

“As a rural community we look after each other. Yes, it’s a cliche that it takes a village to raise a child, and it will take our village to run a successful refugee settlement programme in Ashburton one that will welcome and connect with our refugees,” she said.

It would be important for the community and the dedicated resettlement team to work together to help the new arrivals settle and become self-sufficient as quickly

as possible, and to feel they were no longer refugees, but rather became former refugees, Harrington-Watt said.

Ashburton was chosen as a resettlement town last year and identified as a new home for up to 100 people from Afghanistan in its first refugee intake. At a meeting of stakeholders on Wednesday, assurances were given by Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment refugee resettlement project co-ordinator Sarah Ward, those refugees would still be arriving.

While the arrival date of the first families is still not known, Ward said the community would have three months’ notice of their arrival. The number coming in the first intake was likely to be lower than the normal 215 people and was more likely to be only 70 to 80. And for Ashburton, that would mean just two families, she said.

“Best case scenario is February into New Zealand, but all our best plans have to be flexible.”

For many of the support groups, the uncertain timeframe around the refugees’ arrival and not knowing the ages of children made it difficult for schools to plan, but as a group they were all on board to put in place whatever support

was needed, Ashburton College principal Ross Preece said.

Questions were asked over the availability of housing, but Ward assured the Ashburton group that no family would arrive without a home to move into.

“We make sure it’s safe, healthy and family appropriate and we work with social housing providers where we can as well as the private market,” she said.

Government funding had been approved to boost New Zealand’s social housing stocks and Ashburton is likely to be part of this project.

While the resettlement stakeholders would be working to ensure all bases were covered in helping the new arrivals adjust to life in their new country, Harrington-Watt said the key to their become part of the community would lie in the hands of the community, in the people who walked alongside them and who helped them understand and connect with the everyday aspects of Kiwi life.

A s h b u r t o n’s refugee settlement support

service will be screening the movie Human Flow on Wednesday at the Regent Cinema.

This will provide an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the path a refugee travels to their new life.

Tickets to the movie can be purchased online at eventbrite. co.nz

the Ashburton District’s economy is rebounding faster post-Covid 19, than most of New Zealand, with its GDP for the September quarter down just 1.7 per cent against the national drop of 3.3 per cent over the pastyear.

Provisional GDP for the year to September 30 was $2318 million, while for the year to June 30 it sat at $2337 million.

Infometrics data shows that the June and September quarters were the first time since the last two quarter of 2010.

The district’s GDP growth peaked in September 2012 at 8.1 per cent.

Senior economist Brad Olsen said that regional areas were showing a stronger bounce back in economic activity and for Ashburton the dairy sector would continue to be a source of strength through the recession.

While dairy farmers were expected to earn $53 million less this year, total farm gate revenue was likely to be $1058 million, one-third of the district’s GDP. The district’s greatest hit came in residential building consents, down 18.4 per cent. In Canterbury consents rose 8.1 per cent and were up 3.5 per cent nationally Ashburton’s consent plunge comes on top of a 7.9 per cent drop in the June quarter.

Like the rest of the country, however, house prices were on the rise up 6.6 per cent for the quarter, rising faster than the Canterbury average, but below the national rise.

The average house value in the district was $375,950 at September 30.

Brad Olsen The Ashburton District might not count itself a tourism hot-spot, but Infometrics data shows it has taken a greater hit than the national average.

Expenditure in this sector dropped 17.4 per cent, down from $191 million for the year to September 2019 to $158 million this year.

Consumer spending also took a hit and was down 4.1 per cent, a larger drop than the Canterbury average of 2.5 per cent.

The number of people receiving job seeker support continued to rise and at September 30 numbers were up 282 (36.9 per cent) on the previous year to sit at 627.

The numbers out of work were up 33.7 per cent across Canterbury and 27.3 per cent nationally.

The district’s unemployment rate at 2.9 per cent, is still low, however compared to the Canterbury region, 4 per cent and New Zealand, 4.4 per cent.

Nationally there are 60,000 more job seekers than at the same time last year.

Armadillos move into Braided

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

An Ashburton restaurant and bar that has been closed since the Covid-19 lockdown will be reopening in the new year under a new name.

Braided Rivers has been closed since March and is now set to reopen under new management as Armadillos at the Braided.

Armadillos is a restaurant brand owned and operated by one of the South Island’s biggest hospitality groups, Northend Hotels, with 12 other Armadillos locations around the South Island.

Managing director Tony Crosbie, who attended Ashburton College for three years before moving to Christchurch, is excited about adding the 13th venue in Ashburton.

He said Armadillos’ concept was an ideal fit Ashburton.

“I believe it will be perfect for Ashburton and I believe the site is perfect for it.

“It’s a family restaurant, but the bar will obviously be marketed differently.”

Crosbie said he had previously had an interest in taking over Braided Rivers but was beaten to it by former Braided Rivers owner Ben Busch.

“I was actually keen on getting it before Ben bought it, so I missed out.

“Then I heard through some contacts that it had actually

closed down, so I contacted the landlord, Brian Davidson, and started chatting to him to see what we could work out.”

What transpired is that Armadillos is now preparing to move into the building, with Crosbie looking at an opening date of

February 1.

There is plenty of work to do before then, Crosbie said.

“Things will kick in shortly as I’ll probably get the keys in a week or so to start doing stuff and planning for the new year.

“The fit-out is actually pretty

good, it just needs a freshen up.

“We won’t be changing any structure inside, it will just be reorganised differently.

“I do want to spruce up the outside and obviously put our branding with it.

“We’ll put the courtyard gar-

den bar back out the front.”

Armadillos at the Braided currently has an alcohol licence application being processed and will soon be advertising for staff.

“I have a couple of key staff I’ll bring into the venue to help set it up, but I want to employ local staff where I can and use local trades.

Crosbie did not know who any of the previous Braided Rivers staff were, but was not opposed to rehiring them if they applied to work at Armadillos.

While things were set to start on Armadillos at the Braided, Crosbie was also putting the finishing touches on Armadillos opening its 12th location in Islington, taking over the Swamp Tavern, in three weeks.

From Invercargill originally, Crosbie spent “three or four years” in Ashburton before moving on to Christchurch.

He started his own business portfolio including Churchill’s Public House in Sydenham and the Bourbon Street Bar in Manchester Street, but lost both pubs in the earthquakes.

Crosbie then moved to Nelson, running hospitality businesses at the top of the South Island and has been the managing director for Northend Hotels since 2014.

In the role he has overseen Armadillos expansion from the Nelson area throughout the South Island, including Timaru, Kaiapoi, Prebbleton, Te Anau, four in Christchurch and soon to be Ashburton.

Cleaning the coffee machine for one last time at Cafe 131

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

For more than 15 years Denise Stevens has been the welcoming face at Café 131 in Methven, but all that is about to change.

Come December 22, Stevens and co-owner Jo Pegg will clean down the coffee machine and hang up their aprons for the last time and hand over the keys to the new owner.

Looking back over the last 15 years, Stevens couldn’t recall any standout moments as such, it’s the everyday stuff that I’ve enjoyed the most, she said.

Along with the thousands of meals and untold coffees the pair have served, the café has played a big part in the lives of 75 afterschool workers since 2005.

“We have employed five a year since we started here, and watching the girls grow and mature is one of things I am very proud of.”

Many of them have gone on to bigger and brighter things, but Stevens said they still call in for a coffee and a chat when back in town.

Anyone who has been into 131 more than once will know that Stevens is a master at remembering everybody by name. Even at 72 she still rattles off names and enquires about family members

“Being here you certainly get to hear about people’s highs and lows, and we have always strived to provide the personal touch,” she said.

“We lasted 15 years, so we must

have done something right.”

Stevens said the welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by the building itself, the natural wood and big windows means that no matter where you sit it is possible to look out and see the flowers

and watch the goings-on.

Stevens said she won’t miss the early starts, but she will miss the customer contact.

“We have built up such a loyal customer base and it will be sad to say goodbye to them, but it is

time to move on.”

Pegg said she remembers fondly the staff she has worked with over the years.

“It can get pretty stressful in here at times, especially when we are busy and that makes for a close working relationship.”

At this point neither Stevens nor Pegg have any set idea of what comes next.

Pegg who has spent 30 years in hospitality kitchens said she wants to find employment around the area.

“I want to work for somebody else, where I finally get holiday pay, sick days and far less stress.”

Stevens said she has a list of things to do when she first finishes, but other than that she is undecided.

What she has decided however is she has absolutely no intention of moving to a council flat and taking up knitting.

Plans of a big farewell bash have been left well and truly on the shelf. Stevens said she and Pegg plan to slip quietly out the back door on their last day.

“But if anybody wants to call in and say goodbye before we leave we’d love to see them,” Stevens said.

“People who knew us from our Kellys’ days are also welcome to call and reminisce about those days too.”

Eiffelton here in Mid Canterbury owes its name to a tall tower built on a brick kiln which was known locally as the Eiffel Tower.

The other Eiffel Tower is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built it.

Constructed between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World’s Fair, it was not to everyone’s taste.

The construction permit only covered a period of 20 years after which it was to be removed.

Consequently it was designed to be dismantled.

OUR VIEW

It’s an honour to welcome refugees

By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

W

e might be living in a country with closed borders, putting us in virtual isolation at the bottom of the world.

If we’re chafing at what we see as the enforced curtailment of our freedom, pause for a moment. Take stock, look over the horizon. Big picture we’ve lost absolutely nothing. Life in safe, secure, privileged Godzone continues largely uninterrupted.

That’s not so for many people in many parts of the world.

Think for a moment about the hundreds of thousands of people who have been persecuted and have been forced to flee their homeland, forced to find a safe haven many borders from home, far from everything that is familiar.

Those are refugees, people who live in fear, often forced to move from country to country until they’re they secure a humble tent in a refugee camp.

That might mean relative safety, but it is likely to also mean enduring significant hardship for what could be years until they make it onto a refugee quota list and gain the chance of a new and permanent home.

Some never do.

A refugee’s dream is not a return home – that will never be possible, rather their dream is a new life in a new and safe country, a chance to start again.

New Zealand is viewed as a safe haven by refugees. We offer them unlimited opportunities and we offer them safety and next year we will have the privilege to do this as we begin welcoming small groups of refugees in Ashburton.

Our first families, most likely from Afghanistan, will arrive early next year – Covid willing.

For them that will be the end of a long journey that may have begun several years before, a journey that will have been marked with fear, uncertainty and often with despair.

Their journey may come to a physical end, but they will still have many hurdles to overcome as they adjust to a new way of life in a country that will be very, very different to any they have experienced before.

We, as a community, are part of that journey, and the quality of their Kiwi journey will be determined by the hands of friendship, the warm welcome we extend and our willingness to make them feel at home and to become former refugees.

OPINION 13

New-look structure to start in 2021

By Hamish Riach

CEO’S MESSAGE

S

ome important changes are coming for the council next year that will impact how decisions are made about our community.

You may have heard news that councillors approved changes to their governance structure which will come into effect in January, but what are these changes and how will they affect local democracy?

The first big change is how often the council will meet to discuss matters and make decisions.

This last 12 months or so, the full council and five standing committees have met every six weeks.

In the new year, the full council will instead meet twice a month, making the meetings much more frequent and helping to facilitate more timely decision-making.

It was also agreed these meetings should be on a Wednesday – a change from the recent past where Thursdays were the regular meeting day for council and its committees.

The second big change is that the committees that had been operating will – in most cases, no longer exist.

The committees (which have a smaller councillor membership) have been a means of addressing matters and – where needed, making recommendations to the council.

They do not have the authori-

ty to make decisions themselves but they do give council an opportunity to reflect and re-consider, and the final decision is made by all councillors regardless of who is on the committee.

From January 1 the Infrastructure Services, Environmental Services, Community Services and Bylaw & Policy Committees will be discharged, while the Audit, Risk and Finance Committee will become the Audit & Risk Committee (with finance matters going directly to

council).

Council has also decided that all councillors other than the mayor and deputy mayor should be paid the same base amount under this new structure.

It was always intended that council would review its structure 12 months after being sworn in after the 2019 election, but the experiences from the Covid-19 lockdowns earlier in the year really bolstered confidence that council could function differently, and perhaps

with more efficiencies.

Many around the table noted how the weekly Covid-19 Response Committee meetings enabled more timely decisions that also benefited from all councillors being present.

Moving forward, it’s anticipated that the new governance structure will continue to facilitate this.

As always, next year’s council meetings will be livestreamed on our Facebook page and YouTube channel so that you can

stay informed of what decisions and discussions are being had around the council table.

Keep an eye out on the first and third Wednesdays of each month to tune in.

Bank capital reprieve good news for farmers and other businesses

T

here was a flurry of activity earlier this month in the world of banking, with important ramifications for agriculture.

On Tuesday, November 10 the Reserve Bank announced it would delay the start date for a staged transition to tougher bank capital requirements by a further 12 months, to July 1, 2022. It’s the second such delay announcement.

Last December, when it made its decision to proceed with the tougher requirements, they would have started taking effect from July 1 this year with a seven-year transition period.

But in March, as Covid struck, the Reserve Bank extended the start date by 12 months to July 1, 2021. This was to enable banks to provide additional credit to lend to support the economy which was about to be severely battered by the pandemic.

Banks had earlier claimed they would be forced to pass on at least some of the additional costs from the tougher bank capital requirements through

By Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM higher lending rates and tougher credit conditions, with farmers especially vulnerable given perceptions of risk and limited competition for agricultural lending.

Regardless of whether the banks should pass on the costs to customers or absorb the cost through lower profitability, Federated Farmers was concerned about the impact on farmers, especially at a time when they are having to contend with the costs of tougher environmental regulation.

So it’s good that farmers and other bank customers will get a further reprieve. Hopefully it will ease the pressure many farmers have been feeling from their banks.

The Federated Farmers’ Banking Survey, out now, is

testing how bank relationships are faring. We usually get around 1000 or more responses and it will be interesting when we get those results.

On Wednesday, November 11, the Reserve Bank found the need for continued monetary stimulus to prop up the economy and announced a Funding for Lending Programme (FLP) to provide banks with cheap funding to allow them to lend at lower interest rates.

It also kept the OCR unchanged at 0.25 per cent and continues to keep the door open for a negative OCR from next year.

Although the economy is doing better than expected, there is criticism that loose monetary policy is helping send house prices into the stratosphere.

The Reserve Bank isn’t targeting the FLP funding to particular sectors, such as business or agriculture, considering this to

be the role of the banking sector or government initiatives. Since March, housing lending has increased by $8.7b while business lending is down $6.1b.

It would be a positive if at least some of the cheap funding will be assigned by the banks to the productive sector, including agriculture, rather than throwing petrol on the housing market bonfire.

The Reserve Bank’s decision to consult on reintroducing Loan to Value Ratio (LVR) restrictions for housing is an attempt to dampen that bonfire.

But the restrictions won’t take effect until March and with the FLP to reduce mortgage rates further, this means there will be more housing heat to come over the summer.

Small cattle, big rewards

By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Sixteen-year-old Charlotte Rhodes with grandfather Harvey’s prize-winning lowline angus heifer, winner of best of breed at this year’s Christchurch A&P cattle competition.

Harvey Rhodes loves cattle, the smaller the better.

And the Ashburton man can claim to be an absolute expert when it comes to breeding some of the best small cattle around. He owns a small herd of lowline angus and his breeding efforts were recognised recently with a clutch of top awards at the Christchurch A&P Association’s annual cattle show.

The three-day show might have been cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but along with a number of other regular show events, the cattle section competition was still held, albeit without any public viewing.

Rhodes has been breeding the small-scale cattle since 2006. He’s never been a large-scale breeder, but says he’s happy with his small numbers.

Breeding for quality is his aim and the stats show he reaches that goal year after year, championship ribbon after championship ribbon.

His results at this year’s Canterbury show left Rhodes grinning from ear to ear.

His young heifer Edsal Shelia won not only her own class, but also the supreme angus lowline title, a rare feat for a young cow.

It’s the second time he’s taken this title, the last with Shelia’s father.

The accolades didn’t end there, however, with Sheila placing sec-

ond in the all breeds category too.

“It’s very, very rare for a lowline to get placed in all breeds. The lowline breeders were rapt to see the breed going forward like this,” he said.

He’s a regular on the show circuit and generally comes home with a clutch of ribbons in the boot of the car.

While Rhodes is the breeder with a meticulous eye for conformation and breed quality, when it comes to the show ring, he calls in his grandchildren, with 16-year-

to the noise. It pays dividends as generally they’re spook proof at show time.

He admits his animals are a little spoilt. He’s a regular at a local bakery, buying up loads of bread and buns he’ll hand feed to his cattle.

“Their bellies are definitely bigger than their brains,” he said.

Lowlines are the perfect animal for a lifestyle block owner, Rhodes said, and they come with the bonus of being high yielding, killing out at over 70 per cent. And the

Their bellies are definitely bigger than their brains old Charlotte Rhodes helping Shelia to her swathe of titles in Christchurch.

With a herd of just nine, Rhodes knows each animal well, understands their personality foibles and ensures that those heading to the show ring are accustomed to seeing strangers.

His cattle live on a small block close to Ashburton and generally see few strangers and that means a little preparation is needed preshow day.

He’ll load up his cattle trailer, haul it into town and park up in noisy spots such as near a school.

He opens the side windows on the cattle trailer and lets his cattle watch the activity and listen

meat is beautifully marbled.

Few of Rhodes’ cattle find their way into the freezer, however, as he usually sells surplus stock to other lifestylers, usually as a cow and calf package.

“You do get attached to them, but you can’t keep them all,” he said.

He bought his first animals in 2006 while he and wife Sally were living at Fernside.

He’s always been a small-scale breeder and this year his calf crop yielded four – three bulls and one heifer.

Lowline cattle have been bred and developed in Australia since 1964 and today there are a number of herds around New Zealand.

FAR Crops set to go ahead

By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

The Foundation for Arable Research’s demonstration site at Chertsey will again host New Zealand’s largest oneday cropping event, Crops, on Wednesday, December 2.

As this year is FAR’s 25th anniversary, Crops will also be the focus of some birthday celebrations.

Organiser Anna Heslop, of FAR, said Crops was an opportunity to view the FAR trials and industry demonstrations and hear up-to-date research findings.

The programme was broad, touching on seed and cereal productivity, and environmental issues around soil and nutrients.

Each talk will be presented in the morning, and again in the afternoon, and the day will conclude with some awards presentations and a complimentary dinner.

“We are really looking forward to it, as there haven’t been many days out for farmers this year,” Heslop said.

Work on the research plots at FAR’s Chertsey arable site, which hosts the Crops event, had been going ahead as normal since lockdown lifted, but the industry demonstration sites were impacted, Heslop said.

“Many of the industry demonstration sites would usually have been sown in autumn, but this year, they will all be spring-sown plots. This has required our sponsors to do some quick thinking around crop types, cultivars and treatments. We really appreciate their continued support.”

Sponsors will give a presentation at their demonstration plots.

Starting in 2002, Crops was a full day event which allowed farmers to view demonstration plots investigating everything from cultivars to cultivation, and to see and hear the latest research findings from New Zealand and international experts.

As in previous years, Crops 2020 will focus on the future of New Zealand cropping, highlighting sustainable new technologies and market opportunities for grain, seed and supplementary feed crops.

Crops is held at the FAR Chertsey arable site, a 13.5 hectare mix of irrigated and non-irrigated land on SH1 just north of Chertsey. FAR has had demonstrations at the site for 17 years, providing a long-term showcase for a number of high-profile research projects, funded by grower levies and external grants, on a number of crops.

The Foundation for Arable Research will celebrate its 25th anniversary at the annual Crops event at its Chertsey arable research site next week.

SOFTBALL

Points picture thrown curve ball

Rebels’ player Bruce Phillips makes a dart for third base during his side’s senior mixed softball clash with the Fairfield Ratbags on Saturday.

Controversy has sparked up senior mixed softball following the weekend’s action.

The top-of-the-table clash between defending champions Hampstead Heat and the Panthers was the highly-touted match-up of the round.

The Heat secured a 6-4 win over their second placed rivals.

However the result has been brought into question, a competition spokesman confirmed.

A meeting was scheduled to occur last night around the outcome, with an update to the points standings on hold.

It is understood the issue is around the match being called ahead of time, with details still being established.

The Hampstead Heat were on 13 points, followed by the Panthers and Fairfield Ratbags on 10 points apiece, leading into the weekend’s games.

There were some fresh faces among the Demons Rebels lineup as they faced off with the Fairfield Ratbags.

Fronting up at the home plate for his second outing was Bruce Philips, who was relishing being back in the sport.

“I have not played since I was at school but I thought, blast it I’ll give it a go,” he said.

“The team are so supportive.”

His side were unable to get the victory, going down 8-3 to the Ratbags.

The Ragamuffins also made it two from two for Fairfield teams courtesy of a 14-11 win over the Hampstead Phoenix.

In the junior grades, the Demons beat Hampstead 12-6 at under-16 level.

Meanwhile in the under-13s, Fairfield beat the Panthers 11-5 and Hampstead prevailed over the Demons 26-11.

CRICKET

Country Ashburton have crashed back to earth after suffering their second defeat in premier tennis.

The Mid Canterbury outfit, who were without top seed Jack Tiller, succumbed to Te Kura Hagley 2-4 in their fourth round clash at the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre on Saturday.

Despite the result, the team did enough at the weekend to hang on to second spot in the premier tennis race.

Te Kura Hagley meanwhile have closed the gap to two points, after securing a total of 13 points following Saturday’s win.

As far as the battle on court, Sam Bubb engaged in a frantic duel with Daiki Naka which went to a deciding set, with the Mid Cantabrian coming out on top 6-4 6-7 10-0.

It was arduous in the other singles match-ups as Ashburton struggled against their Christchurch club counterparts.

Alex Emslie defeated Ben Smith 6-3 6-2 while both Cameron McCracken and Nathan McKenzie endured heavy losses to Jenner Johnson and Matthew Sunderland respectively.

TKH sealed the win when Sunderland and Naka accounted for Bubb and Smith on the doubles court 7-5 6-1.

McCracken and McKenzie reduced the club deficit in their doubles duel courtesy of a straight sets win over Emslie and Johnson.

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton College’s 1st XI have defied their early season struggles in what was an impressive ambush in Christchurch on Saturday.

The team overturned Christ’s College’s top team by 7 wickets in the Ara 1st XI one day championship, following a ruthless performance with the ball.

After four defeats to open their account, the Mid Cantabrians

have now gone back-to-back – the latest win easily their most dominant display of the season.

It was the Jemmett show largely, as cousins Angus and Wil pulled off a superb all-round double act.

Christ’s total of 121 proved nowhere near enough as AshColl ran it down comfortably.

The home team opted to bat first in breezy conditions with AshColl striking in the second over when Wil Jemmett had James Luxton caught.

Devon Flannery was intro-

duced into the attack early, and had success from the outset when he trapped Caleb Manson in front for 5.

25/2 soon became 29/4 as Jemmett ran through the home side’s top order.

A few overs later and the Christchurch boys were five down with Monty Rookes back in the shed.

A sixth wicket stand of 38 between Zach Gimblett (33) and Thomas McClean (23) edged Christ’s closer to 100.

Both Jemmetts then combined

to break the partnership at 19 overs, as Angus’ off spin had McClean caught by Wil to end his quick-fire cameo.

Gimblett hung in there, but lost partners far too regularly before he too fell to Angus Jemmett.

Both Jemmetts took six wickets between them as Christ’s were bowled out in the 34th over.

AshColl got off to a flying start as openers Angus Jemmett and Flannery opted to wrap the result up swiftly.

Flannery went at better than a run a ball, clearing the boundary

on two occasions as the pair put on 50.

After bringing up his half century, Flannery was adjudged lbw off the bowling of Harrison Lund as the visitors lost their first wicket at 79.

Isaac Bazley lasted three balls before he too was trapped in front in the same over.

AshColl also lost Jonty Small with 36 still needed.

However Jemmett was unflappable as his unbeaten 51 guided AshColl home in the 23rd over alongside brother Lachie (10no).

Allenton machine rolls on

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

A vigorous all-round bowling performance has led Allenton to a fourth win on the bounce.

The Mid Canterbury club has extended its lead in the Canterbury Country Combined competition following a four-wicket win over Ohoka in Ashburton on Saturday.

Again the side restricted the opposition to under 200, to set themselves up for a gettable total to mow down.

Ohoka’s 149 was always going to be difficult to defend against an outfit which is ticking along quite nicely.

Although Allenton began with a stutter in response, their middle order did enough out in the middle to guide them home.

Ohoka’s openers started in a tentative fashion after winning the toss, and they lost Jordan Belton for just 2 after Harmandeep Sandhu went through his defence.

Despite the early setback, opener Ryan Kelly consolidated the effort alongside captain Jared Williams, as the pair put on 74.

A double strike by Satwant Singh brought Allenton back into it when he removed Williams and Jacob Burns in consecutive deliveries.

Three overs later it was the turn of Satveer Singh for the one-two punch when he bowled Andrew Cherry, and then Matt Cherry the very next ball, to leave Ohoka 98/5 and on the ropes.

Kelly kept resisting at one end and played the aggressor as he passed 50.

He and Matt Burns toiled to get the side back on course, adding 37 for the sixth wicket before Burns fell.

SCOREBOARD Ohoka 149 (35 overs) Ryan Kelly 61 Jared Williams 35 Harmandeep Sandhu 3-19 Allenton 151/6 (31.5 overs) Sanjay Undre Singh 41 George Mauger 2-31 George Belcher 2-31 Allenton won by 4 wickets.

Not without a bit of luck, Allenton completed their fourth win of the Canterbury Country Combined competition.

PHOTO HEATHER MACKENZIE 221120-HM-1016

After hitting five sixes en route to 61, Kelly’s two-hour stint at the crease came to an end to leave Ohoka’s innings hanging by a thread.

The end came swiftly as Allenton took Ohoka’s final three wickets for eight runs – their innings ending in the 35th over.

Sandhu was the star with the

ball with 3-19 from his eight overs, while Manpreet Hakkla, Satwant and Satveer all chipped in with two wickets apiece.

It was a shaky jump-off from the hosts in response, as openers Satveer and Tajinder Singh were sent packing to leave Allenton on the back foot.

Karmjeet Singh and Satwant

eased their way out of difficulty, putting on 37 between them.

After getting a start, Karmjeet was caught off the bowling of Malcom Elderton for 20.

With Ohoka keeping the flow of runs quiet, Satwant was run out as Allenton stumbled again to leave them 48/4.

However the home side defied

the critical point of the match as Sanjay Undre Singh and Rasitha Imbulana recovered proceedings with a half-century stand.

It ultimately proved the difference in the wash-up.

The stand was broken at 71, which gave Ohoka another sniff, but man-of-the-match Hakkla and Imbulana steered the Mid Cantabrians home with 8 overs to spare to ensure it remains on top.

Hands has final say A final burst on the home stretch capped Steve Hands’ ascendancy at the weekend.

Hands led in the field to claim the Tinwald Cycling Club’s 46km mass start event held at Mt Somers on Sunday.

He kicked clear of the lead bunch with 500 metres to go, to hold on by the barest of margins to secure victory.

Hands completed the circuit in a time of 66 minutes 58 seconds.

Brad Hudson charged into second place, with the evergreen Tony Ward securing the final podium position.

Kristine Marriott produced a strong ride to finish in fourth spot.

Steve Caldwell and Robert Campfes made their trip south worthwhile, rounding out the top six.

Emma Hudson’s excellent season continued, delivering a strong performance to take sealed handicap honours. Rachel Reid rounded out a good weekend of training with second

place in the sealed handicap, with fifth place-getter Steve Caldwell securing the third spot.

Timaru’s Ella Turnbull pulled out a great sprint finish to take the win in the lower grades, as the juniors and division 2 contested a 14km handicap event.

Honor Bradford shone again with a great ride to take second place.

Charging through the field from the back mark was Daniel Gould, who clinched third spot and lifted fastest time honours, riding the course in 31 minutes 36 seconds.

Sisters Penny and Tegan Marriott filled fourth and fifth places respectively, with Charlotte Neal riding into the top six.

Merv Grewar tightened his grip on the division 2 title, taking the win.

Next week the club will contest a 48km handicap event around the Graham’s Road block.

Jelle Hendrikson charges ahead during Tinwald Cycling Club racing on Sunday.

32 CLUB NEWS Allenton Bowling Club

A very mixed week of events for our ladies starting the week with the First day of the Sub-Centre Sevens, at the end of the day three club were tied, so it will make for a very interesting second day next week.

Thursday the final of the Women’s fours was played, this was always going to be a great game between Sandra Keith’s team of Rachel Davies, Melva Middleton and Annette Sargisson and Rosemary Bennett’s team of Wendy Watson, Sandra Holdom and Anne Reid. Rosemary’s team played exceptionally well and got off to flying start which they held onto, to win 19-10. Well done Ladies.

Friday was our Charene Tournament which everyone really enjoys, Sales table, raffles and good bowls then delicious food to finish off with. Sylvia Mellish won the ditch to ditch. 1st in tournament R. Bennett, W. Watson, S. Doig S. Holdom 2nd. D. Vanderweg, M. Lloyd, S. Thomas, C. Tyson 3rd K. Manning, P. Parker, M. Davey, S. Hammond 4th.A Sargisson, R Davies, R. Johnston, M. Knox.

It has been one crazy busy week but so, so enjoyable.

Keep up the great bowls Allenton. Good bowling everyone and keep having fun.

Ashburton Golf Club

Another lovely weekend at the Brandon and two great trophies decided on Saturday. First off we were all shown a very informative display on what to do, if, heaven forbid, someone takes a turn for the worse on the golf course. I think everyone who was there will be much more confident doing CPR and using the AED. Many thanks to Shayne from St John and Murray for organising this. Hopefully this is something we can all store, but never need to use.

To the golf, John Richards led the way in the Sante Marie trophy with a very good net 69, which could well have been a couple of shots better. I know this as I was in the same four and on the wrong side of a 6 and 5 hiding.

One shot behind him was Blair Snowball, whose net 70 got him the top score of all the RMF Silva finalists and gave him 23 points to go with his 26 for a final total of 49. He then had to sit back and hope the leading 5 players did not have good days. Four of them helped him out, but Mr Consistent Steve McCloy shot a very steady 71 to take second best score of 14 points to put him on top with 55. Therefore the final top three is 3rd Gav Douglas, 2nd Blair Snowball, and Champion Steve McCloy. Steve will receive a free sub for 2021 thanks to our great friends at RMF Silva and Blair will pick up a new golf bag thanks to Matt at Sega Golf, and we will see if we can scrape enough cash together to get Gav a free coffee.

Attention this week turns to closing day and the Smallbone Trophy, this is a mixed pairs Canadian Foursome. I think Heather Robertson’s phone will be ringing hot this week, with fellas trying to get their name on a trophy. If she can win trophies with Paddy and Knocker, think what she could score with a real golfer.

Start time this Saturday is slightly earlier 11.00am meet for 11.30 tee off. This is so everyone can play then go home, get their glad rags on and return for the presentation evening starting at 6pm. I think we still have a few tickets left, but you will need to contact the club ASAP. Games on the horizon, Matt is holding one of his great pro shop days next week, then we have the Radius Care Xmas salvers, which also kicks off the Shootout

Ashburton Guardian Wednesday, November 25, 2020 qualifying. This year’s shootout is again kindly sponsored by the great gang at Property Brokers. We will look more at the Shootout dates next week.

I think its going to be a very busy December and New year around the Brandon.

Come along and join the fun. Good golfing.

Ashburton Organ and Keyboard Club

We are all so very fortunate that we could end the year in such a fitting way.

The club has had a full few months since lockdown and I believe everyone was pleased to be participating again. We have had such wonderful evenings with the music we produce and experience the greatest pleasure to bring it to our wonderful people who turn up, regardless of the elements to hear what we have to offer.

The month happened to coincide with both Dennis and Rose’s big eight O and Rose and Bev put a high tea supper on afterwards. Bev and Dennis (Lister) organised a wonderful programme and went all out to make sure all that were able, to be in the entertainment. The two singing groups have not completely got back to full strength and would have taken part. But there is always next year.

Bev (L) played us in and the room was buzzing. Thank you Bev. The accordion group was up to their usual standard, and in my view, deserve a spot in Bands in the Park. Irene and Karen on piano and accordion (don’t know why Irene sat back down in the audience, she and Rose are true troopers) Barbara’s dance band which was so good.

Janet, Bev, and Barbara on keyboards, Rose piano, and Robin and Irene accordions. Karen Smith on keyboard. Lovely sound effects. Good as per usual.

A beautiful birthday cake for the birthday duo to cut. The raffle was shared around which was great as there were family members there for the evening. I won 10.00 from my scratchie prize.

The skiffle group concluded with songs and carols. The music was soooo good and the songs delightful. Such a variety.

Father Christmas stopped by. Told us he won’t be visiting America, they may think he was a Trump supporter.

A beautiful supper concluded a very enjoyable evening. Thank you to all those helpers in the kitchen. Down with Covid… bring on the music.

Dahlia Circle

Last week the Ashburton Dahlia Circle had their Christmas function before taking a month off until the New Year. An exceptional attendance of 20 members and partners with 6 apologies enjoyed a sit down meal in the Tinwald Hall.

Special thank you to Alison and Sheena who had spent the afternoon setting up the tables and supplying all the crockery, cutlery and glasses, along with table decoration. Everyone contributed hot & cold fare, Jackie cooked the meats and Alison the steamed pudding. The meal commenced with Grace by Patron Graham Gunn, and meal enjoyed by all.

Our guest judge Pauline O’Leary joined us in the meal before judging the Rose Show. This was exhibited when the hall opened and judged during our regular meeting time. The roses and cut flowers were of high standard and the overall winning rose Hamilton Gardens, was displayed be Monica Bruger-Ranson.

Marie Venter, Eamon Hooper and Gabby Simpson were competing in the International Queenstown Marathon.

President welcomed to our new members attending and accepted the apologies. Great to be in a healthy position, fortunate to have such an interest in growing Dahlias.

Plans are progressing in applying to host the South Island National in 2022 with support of Canterbury to assist in forming a committee to manage this.

The evening concluded with Christmas cake and a cup of tea. Thank you to all for making it special.

The year will adjourn now until the 10th January when we will have garden walks at Brian, Alison, Joyce and Grahams’ gardens before meeting up at Jackies’ for a finger food tea from 4pm.

Have a safe Christmas with family and friends and enjoy following the dahlias growth and bursting into bloom for another great season.

Lions Club Of Ashburton

President Roger Paterson presided over a good attendance for the November meeting held at Hotel Ashburton on Wednesday November 4.

Guests included six Pakeke Lions Club members whose presence was acknowledged. A special guest was Maureen Hathaway who received the Honour Roll Award for the efforts in Lions by her late husband Graeme Hathaway.

Graham Edge read the citation which covered Graeme’s work over a wide period of time.

Lists circulated included Club visits, Motor home Show 12 February 2021, Meals on Wheels 21 -24 December, and Talleys use of the Club’s Food Van for their end of year function on Saturday 7 November.

thought for the day.

New member Stuart Geddes gave a most detailed summary of his life from early days in Southern Rhodesia to his aspirations to join our Lions Service Club. This was a fascinating 3-minute talk indeed.

Our Club’s guest speakers for the night were Karen Burrows and Tania Sandrey from the BNZ Ashburton. Their topic Scams and Frauds was as wide ranging as it was interesting. Banks have responsibilities too in order to act in a responsible manner.

Specific questions and answers on the topic included cheque books, Visa cards, internet banking, credit cards functions and uses. When using Internet Banking on cell phones always lock screens and don’t just swipe. The larger your password the better (if you can remember them). Always let your bank know of any travel arrangements as banks have full time Scams and Fraud teams working in this area.

The ladies did a great job explaining this as it is at times an emotive but threatening subject. Committee reports included return of raffle books due now to Barney Parsons.

Big Smoke Rural Folk scheduled for 19 or 26 June 2021 was progressing well.

By 18 November 2020 Jeff King requires the names of organisations and/ or groups of people who may well benefit from and support this Club function. Our Clubs joint December meeting and Christmas function will be held on Wednesday 2 December at Ian and Sharon Moore’s property. This will be a partners’ night and apologies for non-attendance must be in by 5pm on Wednesday November 25.

Our Club wishes one and all Seasons Greetings.

Mid Canterbury Central Friendship Club

President Carl welcomed 64 members to our November meeting at the Senior Centre.

Names were taken for the proposed trip to Mesopotamia on the 24th of this month.

Our Mini Speaker was Colleen Howard who wore a straw hat with a list of rolls she has played in her life. Wife, Mother Grandmother, Teacher, Gardener, Farmer, Cook, etc, which was given to her by the staff of the Chertsey School.

She is the eldest of 3 children with two brothers, and was bought up on her fathers farm in the Eiffelton area. She spoke about the many memories she has of her childhood. After her secondary schooling at Timaru Girls High she fulfilled her dream and became a primary school teacher.

Married life to Howard bought many changes and a shift to the in-laws farm in Eketahuna where the ground was so different to the Canterbury Plains.

In 1976 they moved back to her parents farm where they settled. During the tough farming period she returned to teaching and taught a various schools finishing up at Chertsey as the principal.

When their home was burnt down it was the local community that supported them and helped them to survive the difficult time. She also mentioned her fear of heights and the embarrassing time of descending a tree.

She closed by saying, “You don’t stop

playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing.” A delightful in-site to her life so far. The main speaker was Lillian Hay from National Health and Disability Advocacy Service.

She explained that the service provides help for people who have a problem with the health service and can act for them to remedy the problem, e.g. If a dentist has drilled the wrong tooth, the service could contact the dentist on their behalf and seek a remedy. Another example could be the way a patient was spoken to, or treated at a hospital. There again they would seek an explanation, an apology if required and an improvement of the service.

Lillian was thanked by Russell Small for a very informative talk.

Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club

Val Johnson presided over the November meeting of the Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club. Birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated. Ronald McDonald House thanked us for the donations sent to them. Next time items for the Foodbank are requested for distribution to local charities before Christmas.

Members Julie and Jan entertained us with some witty sayings before morning tea was served. Julie Begg then introduced the main speaker, April Breading, gardening guru.

April told us a little of herself and said she had attended Massey University, then learnt the practicalities of horticulture when in Auckland. She learnt the why and how from manual tasks, and went to Canada on an Exchange Programme, where she met her husband who was from Rakaia. She realised there was more to learn when living down here. She speaks to some schools and tries to instil in children the love of gardening. The children are responsive especially when growing something to eat. April then showed us lots of different products that were recommended – product to get rid of caterpillars, insect control, grow tunnel with net cover, raised bed set, seaweed and so on. April was thanked for her address by Heather.

There will be a Christmas meal after the December meeting.

The meeting was closed with the thought for the month: “If the mind goes blank, remember to turn off the sound.”

Run And Walk Ashburton Five Run and Walk Ashburton members travelled on Saturday November 21 2020 to compete in the International Queenstown Marathon. Like previous years the weather was variable, and the runners experienced all seasons in one day. Four competed in the half marathon and one in the full.

Grace Cajote Forde came in with a great time of 1:47:56, next over the line was Gabby Simpson with a time of 1:59:11, followed by Marie Venter in 2:23:14. Eamon Hooper came next with a PB of 2:24:35.

Unfortunately Toresa Hooper was only able to complete 24km of the marathon due to an ongoing injury.

This is always a well supported event that attracts many people from the Mid Canterbury area and was a great weekend away.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Mystery and danger go hand in hand. Because mystery is about the unknown, and there is nothing more fearsome. This will play into the allure of the day.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When stepping into a position held by another, sometimes they say there are big shoes to fill. You’ll do this now, and the shoe size will be irrelevant because you’ll take the role in a different direction.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Of course, you’re disillusioned.

You projected your own desires onto the relationship, like every human does. The good news is that what you were looking for really is out there.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): The person spreading goodwill, common decency and a cheerful smile – that is the one advancing the true spirit of humanity. That’s the one that’s you.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Why relax when you can hibernate? Things are happening inside of you – energies rejuvenating, wounds healing, defences forming for the purpose of health and vitality.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Those who exist in higher levels of self-esteem hardly ever give a thought to whether they like themselves or not, because it’s a given. The direct route to solid self-esteem is through estimable acts.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Your project stalls. It’s not your fault; it’s just the universe giving you a chance to pause and reassess your current trajectory. You have so many talents. Which ones are being honed now?

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): People trust you. You’ll be privy to plenty of information, some of which you don’t even want to know! Still, you can take this to heart: People trust you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ve excellent taste and will choose good people to hang out with going forward. As for the past, someone who burned you before will do the same again if you don’t protect yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You can’t control the weather, but you can control what you wear to face it. That’s what you’re doing now – anticipating the emotional heat, mildness, storm or whatever is in store and suiting up appropriately.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You’re generous. You’ll give and keep giving until you know that what you have isn’t a good match, and then you’ll refer and recommend, which is also, by the way, a gift.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Fear makes hair stand on end.

This is how, in primitive times, when humans were furry, fear made humans appear bigger to predators. Today, you’ll find other ways to appear big.

On the rebound

By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

It was not without the odd jitters with the bat, but Technical have hit back with a confidence-boosting win.

The Stags completed a four-wicket win over Temuka and a third competition success in South Canterbury’s senior oneday competition.

Both Ryan Bell, with the ball, and opening bat Jason Morrison were key figures for the Mid Canterbury club, which ensured reparations were made for their round two defeat last month.

After proving competitive with the ball during the first six rounds, the Stags inserted the South Cantabrians after winning the toss. Alex Hooper and Richard Print wasted no time in asserting some early pressure, with Temuka’s opening pair finding the going tough during the opening overs.

Phil Lill was sent on his way for an eight-ball duck with the score at 1, before being joined by his opening partner Jamie Trezise a couple of overs later.

At 11/2, Temuka’s Glen Drake opted to take the Stags on. He hit three fours and a six during a run-a-ball 20, before Print ended his foray.

At 25/3, Temuka went into survival mode, with the scoring drying up, going at less than two an over between overs 8 and 20.

Tom McKnight’s long vigil (8 from 43 balls) ended to have Temuka battling at 48/4.

The introduction of Bell at the bowling end caused Temuka to slip further. After having McKnight caught behind, the off-spinner repeated the dose when he dismissed Warren Morgan in the same fashion, as the hosts slumped to 70/5.

He was later involved in the downfall of three Temuka batsmen, claiming the wickets of Ben Cosgriff and Hayden Broker, while effecting the run out of Nick Maguire.

Temuka’s tenure was wrapped up in the 41st over as the Stags completed a clinical display in the park.

Set 126, Tech appeared steady during the opening exchanges, before the in-form Des Kruger was caught off the bowling of Josh Rooney.

The home team claimed the scalp of Bevan Ravenscroft for 9, however the runs continued at a reliable rate.

Morrison took up the mantle, plundering Temuka’s attack to ensure there would be no repeat of the previous week’s collapse. Despite losing Will McKee for 5 after he was trapped in front, the visitors remained well placed with Morrison at the crease.

He brought up 50 and guided the Stags past 100 inside 18 overs.

A final glimmer for Temuka cropped up once Morrison’s game-breaking knock came to an end. His 63 from 50 balls included five fours and three sixes as he wrestled the game away from the hosts.

The Stags lost two further wickets with the target in sight.

In the end it was a satisfying performance from Tech, as the Technical were outstanding in the field during their win against Temuka on Saturday.

PHOTO ADAM BURNS 141120-AB-3363 team completed the win with more than 20 overs to spare.
