OK, so perhaps it’s slightly unfair to compare the state of Ashburton’s CBD development work like it’s part of an Iraqi war zone, with high vis-wearing foot soldiers and orange safety cones all over the place. But it won’t look like that for long. An artist’s impression gives a first glimpse at just what Ashburton’s multimillion town centre makeover should look like once completed.

Housing hurdle for refugees By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The first refugee family is set to arrive in Ashburton on April 16. Refugee Settlement Support Service (RSSS) held a stakeholder meeting on Thursday in preparation for the arrival of the first Hazara-Afghan family – a mother, father and their two sons – in three weeks’ time. RSSS team leader, Katy Harrington-Watt, said the focus right now is securing a home for the impending arrivals. “We are looking for a three bedroom home and hope to have one sorted very soon,” Harrington-Watt said. It is the key piece of the puzzle and they are following some positive lines of enquiry in what is a hot property market in Ashburton. When they secure a home, Harrington-Watt said the rest of the dominoes can start to fall. “Home location starts the roll on to other things – schools, health services, employ-

ment and so on.” The government will provide furniture and whiteware, Harrington-Watt said while the RSSS will look to utilise local charities for the rest of their needs, and the stakeholders and volunteers will assist in the other areas. There is lots on the to do list she said and all hinges on securing housing for the districts soon-to-be newest residents. “It’s great that our community is going to play its part in helping these families in need.” Harrington-Watt is scheduled to head to Te Ahuru Mowai o Aotearoa (the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre) in Mangere to meet with the family next week. Once here the former refugees will be New Zealand permanent residents and a growing army of local volunteers will assist with their assimilation into the community. Those volunteers had workshops on Wednesday to prepare for the arrivals. A second tranche of refugees are slated to arrived in May, with a total of 21 set to call Mid Canterbury home by July 14.

Helping the youth of Ashburton By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Mahu Maireriki and his wife Lydia are a driving force to help youth in Ashburton.

PHOTO MADDISON GOURLAY

Mahu Maireriki is on a mission to support at-risk youth in the Ashburton Community and needs some help to do it. Maireiki and his wife Lydia created the initiative, Starfish Enterprises, a mentoring programme for local at risk youth and they have secured funding through Te Putahitanga for the mentorship programme. The pair have budgeted the funding to cover eight children to go through the programme this year. Now all they need is the mentors to get the project off the ground. The Mairerikis are putting out the call for businesses in the district who would consider mentoring one of the youths, for between 15 to 20 hours a week for six months.

The funding from Te Putahitanga will cover the costs, such as wages and any equipment needed. All that is needed from employers is to give the kids experience, patience, and mentoring, Maireiki said. The initiative is a chance for the youth to gain skills to improve their future and it’s a chance for the mentors to share their knowledge and maybe gain an employee in the future. He has lined up one teenager to be employed at his own business, where he will mentor them in food safety, cooking, customer service, and offer general support. “Even if we help one kid, that would be beautiful. “Even if it only helps one kid, it’s still worth it,” Maireriki said If any businesses would like to get behind this initiative or would like to get more information they can contact Maireiki on 03 307 4888

CBD overhaul ‘on track’ Mid Canterbury town. An update was provided to councillors at an activity briefings meeting last week. It was confirmed that the project was 51 per cent complete with a total spend of more than $7.3 million thus far. “We are on programme as far as all aspects of the project, from the pipelines to the roads, to the roads,” council infrastructure services manager Neil McCann said. The work in Ashburton’s CBD, which has restricted access along East Street and other neighbouring streets, has had a mixed response from residents and business owners who had experienced a downturn. Ashburton Ward councillor Carolyn Cameron queried the presence of numerous road cones along Tancred Street, despite no work currently being completed in the area. “The road cones are everywhere and it is a disincentive for people to cross the street to go to

The Ashburton District Council remains upbeat as a multi-million dollar overhaul of the town centre continues to make headway. But there were concerns expressed by councillors around the ongoing implications for local businesses in the area, and a lack of vibrancy which ignored views of younger members of the community. A $15 million re-vitalisation of Ashburton’s town centre has nudged itself past the halfway point, with project leaders confirming the work was on time, and on budget. The project which is part of council’s wider Three Waters infrastructure upgrades, involves the restorations and upgrades of water infrastructure, new roading and footpath surfaces and development of urban landscape features within the middle of the

businesses on the other side,” she said. Eastern Ward councillor Lynette Lovett added there was a distinct lack of colour conveyed in an artist impressions of the finished project. “When we consulted on the plans, the youth of the town wanted colour brought into the CBD,” she said. “The only colour I see on the plans is around the rubbish bins.” A leak in the water fountain on East Street, which was soaking an area which had been paved, was also being addressed by council contractors. Council staff confirmed the “unforeseen costs” would not come out of the town centre budget. Work is expected to be completed by November 2021.

The Ashburton Domain paddling pool has now been closed early for the season while maintenance work is undertaken to repair damaged seals discovered after recent drainage of the pool. The pool was drained last week after broken glass was found in and round the public pool and reported to the Ashburton District Council on March 20. To ensure the health and safety of users, the council immediately closed the pool temporarily to clean up the glass. While the pool was drained, damage to the seals were also discovered requiring additional repairs. The early closure of the pool, which is normally open through to the end of March, will allow the council to carry out required repairs and ensure the pool is ready for use in November when it is scheduled to re-open for the new season.

A FAMILIAR CALLING

Peter has a new sign over the door By Malcolm Hopwood

Peter Young is closing one door and opening another. Young (70) ceased trading as a plumber and drainlayer today to focus on his other passion. His desire is to help members of the community as a social worker. Young has devoted the last 47 years of his life as a plumber both in Ashburton and Christchurch, but now it’s time for another calling. He opened his business in 1973 during the week of the “big blow” and, instead of starting quietly with one or two clients, he was overwhelmed with work. Young recalls weeks when he installed or repaired pipes and spouting to carports, silos, farm buildings and exposed parts of houses such as verandahs. Over the years he worked on new housing developments in Ashburton and around Mid Canterbury. Methven became a bonus during the 1980s downturn. It was developing as a popular ski resort and Young and his staff had “heaps and heaps of work”. At 50, Young and his wife Anne wanted to belatedly enjoy their “gap years”. They moved to Ireland in 2001 and worked with people with learning disabilities. It was an incredible experience.

Back in New Zealand, he first worked in Christchurch, before and during the earthquake and then returned to Ashburton. But the desire to help people facing major issues in their lives constantly stayed with him. Young said it started early, growing up in Invercargill. “When I attended school, caning was normal practice and I felt the injustice of it,” he said. “It gave me a heart for kids struggling at school.” The need to lend a helping hand remained with him throughout his working life. “I was involved in voluntary work during that time,” he said. He was a plumber by day but, in his spare moments, Young studied for and was awarded a Post-Graduate Diploma in Social Work from Canterbury University and a Diploma in Life Coaching through the New Zealand Institute of Business Studies. Today, as he stops trading and thanks his valued clients, suppliers and local businesses, he will make his home base available to “anyone who is struggling.” “I don’t want to accept payment, just be there for anyone who needs help,” he said. “I’ve had an incredibly blessed life with great experiences. “I know what people go through and I want to give my skills, talents and experiences back to the community,” Young said.

IS LIFE A CHALLENGE ? ARE YOU OK ?

Peter Young will help people in need in another way.

Raising quake awareness By Malcolm Hopwood

Former Mount Hutt College student, Tom Wilson, returned to Methven this week to share his knowledge about large natural hazard events such as an Alpine Fault earthquake. Professor Wilson, who is a leading researcher in Disaster, Risk and Resilience at the University of Canterbury, spoke about the science behind an Alpine Fault and the level of shaking Mid Canterbury could expect, although it would be relatively minor. If such an event happened, everyone in the South Island would get a good shake, even Auckland or Sydney people would feel it, but the impact locally would be moderate. While Mid Canterbury may not suffer much damage, the supply lines could be affected and the emergency response would focus on the worst hit areas first, most likely the West Coast. Wilson spoke to a packed audience of around 120 people at the Methven Memorial Hall. In addition to the public meeting, several classes at Mount Hutt College yesterday learned about the impacts and consequences of a future magnitude eight earthquake and how their families can bet-

REVIEW

Audience stands to applaud Messiah By Malcolm Hopwood

As the final notes of the Amen Chorus ended, a near capacity audience at St Stephen’s Church gave The Messiah a standing ovation. Nearly 60 singers from Mid Canterbury and the surrounding region gave a meticulous and robust interpretation of Handel’s popular oratorio on Sunday. They were directed with precision and passion by Martin Setchell with organist, John Wells, providing far more than an accompaniment. He weaved his own arrangement into the score. Four impressive soloists supported the choir. Oliver Sewell’s splendid tenor voice will long be remembered. His Comfort Ye and Thou Shalt Break Them displayed the drama that Handel instilled into his most popular religious work. Here was a voice that rivals many of this century’s operatic tenors. He has a Lamborghini in his larynx. The Mid Canterbury choir was secure throughout. They attacked the choruses both with sensitivity and style. There were moments when the sopranos were exposed and needed greater leadership and the bass thunder was more a distant tornado, but the singers were precise under Setchell’s direction. Surely and He trusted in God were highlights of an evocative and spirited interpretation, bringing home the message that Messiah is more an Easter work than part of the usual Christmas decoration. The soloists joined in the Hallelujah Chorus, Worthy Is The Lamb and the Amen Chorus making a huge impact for the audience who gave prolonged applause to the singing.

Martin Setchell conducts the Mid Canterbury Choir in their performance of Messiah with soloists Sarah-Jane Rennie, Louise Pilkington (obscured), Oliver Sewell and Malcolm Leitch in full voice. PHOTO SUPPLIED Other features included the simple but moving singing of He Was Despised by Louisa Pilkington and the dramatic control exercised by both Sarah-Jane Rennie in I Know That My Redeemer Liveth and For Behold Darkness by bass, Malcolm

Leitch, before displaying the dramatic force of their voices. The Trumpet Shall Sound is normally a duet between bass and brass but John Wells, in his outstanding accompanying, found a stop on the St Ste-

phen’s organ that replicated the sound. He’s a swell guy. In the end it was a success for Martin Setchell and the choir and he carried the delight of a triumphant afternoon on his face as he left.

OUR VIEW

Ashburton, a town with no slogan By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz

e’ve got a problem in Ashburton and it’s got nothing to do with dog poo being left everywhere, the CBD looking like a bomb site or the moaning and groaning about second bridges and traffic lights. It’s worse than all of that. Because Ashburton is a faceless town. It’s a town with a name, but a town with no slogan, no catch cry, no marketing factor to attract people into our fabulous little community to make them to stop off and have a look around and maybe even stay for good. I’ve asked around, looked online but can’t find a town slogan anywhere. I know it used to be Ashburton: “Whatever it Takes” ... to do what, you might ask? I guess that slogan ended up where it should have – flushed down the nearest dunny. This is an opportunity that needs to be addressed by the council or someone. And it makes perfect sense to work on a new slogan as part of the multi-million dollar town centre upgrade. The Guardian would happily help drive a town catchphrase campaign because taglines or slogans are an important part of a community’s identity. It’s the easiest way for a resident or visitor to remember the town, especially if it’s quirky. And there have been clever and humorous ones to draw some inspiration from, especially in the United States. Take the town of Gas in Kansas, known for its natural gas. Not only does Gas have a big red water tower that resembles a gas can, but it has one of the funniest town slogans you would ever see: “Don’t pass Gas. Stop and enjoy it.” Brilliant. Or check out some goodies in good old NZ. Like, Kerikeri. “So Nice They Named It Twice” became the slogan after an anonymous backpacker wrote the words in a hostel’s visitor book in the 1980s. Of course, there are those you remember for the wrong reasons. In the mid-1990s, the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce had an entirely commendable aim to come up with a fun slogan that would help draw Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt closer together. The end slogan result for promoting its cities was: “Right up my Hutt Valley”. Needless to say, that slogan did not go down well with everyone. Many New Zealand towns have had branding dramas and unveiled questionable slogans, but at least they gave it a crack. At least they showed some innovation, if slightly out of whack at times. So, what’s it to be Ashburton? What’s our slogan? Do we play on our rural connection, a train track in the middle of town, being Canterbury’s secret little gem or do we make a link with that Ash Vegas moniker that everyone already knows so well? So, this is your challenge. Send us your slogan ideas and we’ll share them with our readers. Who knows, it might just become reality.

YOUR VIEW Ronald McDonald House The Ashburton Guardian recently published an article titled: Charity’s distance rule penalises Mid Canterbury families. I am the Ashburton grandmother featured in this article, and there are some inaccuracies that I would like to correct. The article states I was “stunned to discover” my fundraising efforts are not helping Mid Canterbury families. This is incorrect. I’ve supported Ronald McDonald House South Island for six years because I know firsthand how important it is, as my grandson and daughterin-law stayed there some years ago. This motivates my fundraising efforts, and I do this for any and every family that needs the

support of Ronald McDonald House South Island. I’ve always known that Ronald McDonald House has limited capacity, and understandably prioritises families who live furthest away. Therefore, I’m at a loss to understand just what it is that has “stunned me” – other than the inaccuracy of this story. The article states the $35,000 I have raised “has never gone to local families”. This is also incorrect. Ronald McDonald House has confirmed that 21 per cent of families who stayed there in 2019 were from Canterbury – including 33 families from Ashburton alone. I am angry and disappointed that my comments have been used as the basis of an inaccurate and misleading article. I would be horrified if this led to local donors no longer wishing to be involved with Ronald

McDonald House South Island. The people who work there do everything they can to help as many families as possible – including those from Mid Canterbury. Patricia McLaren The Guardian remains forever thankful for the extremely generous fundraising efforts by Patricia McLaren for the Ronald McDonald House charity. To have raised $35,000 was truly outstanding. We were also thankful for Patricia highlighting the 100km or more distance criteria eligibility rule to help decide who could stay at the house, which provides free accommodation and support to families who must travel to Christchurch for their child’s medical treatment. We were pleased, too, that Ronald McDonald House confirmed a review of that criteria was under way. It was just a

pity that fact was only revealed by Ronald McDonald House after our article was published and after our reporter had asked them directly about it on more than one occasion by email and via phone calls with the charity’s communications advisor when we were gathering information for the story. To also discover that 33 families in the Ashburton region were able to stay in the house in 2019 was very encouraging. That showed there was some flexibility to that 100km distance criteria. Again, that was information that Ronald McDonald House did not reveal to us until after the article was published. We just hope highlighting this issue, and talking about it, will help pave the way for all Ashburton families in need being able to stay at the house for free in the future. Daryl Holden, Editor

OPINION 11

Writing away the rights of New Zealanders W

e’ve just seen the ease in which the Government can try to write away the rights and interests of New Zealanders. The proposal in question is the Crown Pastoral Land Reform Bill, and Federated Farmers opposes it. Not because we don’t want to see continued environmental improvements across crown pastoral lease land, but because we consider the Bill to be unnecessary, counterproductive, and potentially unlawful. The Bill won’t result in the environmental gains sought. It is more likely to lead to worse outcomes, damaged relationships between the Crown and lessees, and reduced access for recreation. In our view, wrapping the ending of ‘tenure review’ into the Bill simply took the spotlight off its more questionable aspects. The matters at stake are complex, and easily misconstrued. Firstly, crown pastoral lease land is not ‘public land’. It is alienated crown land, with lessees holding perpetually renewable leases, and considerable ownership interests on the land, including to all improvements, such as fences, buildings, and houses. Several valuation tribunal and other court rulings have confirmed this. Left unmanaged, these lands would not simply revert to native bush, forests, or tussock grasslands. Lessees spend a significant amount of money, resources, and time actively managing the land, including fencing of waterways and vulnerable areas, riparian planting, and reducing the impacts of rabbits, wilding conifers, gorse, broom, and other pests. Without this investment, the land would deteriorate.

By Kim Reilly FROM THE FARM

Importantly, there is no gap in regulation and the land is not currently unprotected. The Resource Management Act, Biosecurity Act and the national, regional, and local plans and regulations beneath them, apply to all land tenures, including crown pastoral lease land. The Bill simply adds another layer of red tape and consenting, along with associated increases in costs, delays, and resourcing, to that already required. The Government is defending the Bill, saying it’s not ‘anti-farming’. This leaves us scratching our heads given the number of provisions directly preventing any farming considerations. For instance, the definition of ‘inherent values’ prevents anything ‘associated with farming activities’ being considered. So, an old mining cottage can be an inherent value, but a historic woolshed cannot. Intriguingly, this also overrides existing historic places law. Lessees, their families, and workers, hold a special place in the rich pioneering and farming heritage of New Zealand. Yet the history and culture of 150+ years of high country farming cannot be considered an inherent value? On top of this, consent decisions under the Bill are not able to consider the financial viability of farming, the economic sustainability of the farming business, or any economic benefits of the proposed activity. Then there are the proposals that ignore the principles of

natural justice. For instance, the removal of a lessee’s access to appeals or rehearings, or the clause stating that no compensation is payable for any loss or damage, or any adverse effect the Bill causes, with that clause ‘overriding’ any other conflicting law. The Bill also gives the Minister the power to recommend new regulations (including for offences or fees), and the ability to change the status of activities, for instance from being allowed to being prohibited, by Order in Council. This adds massive uncertainty and stress for leaseholders and could reduce property values. Then there’s the farcical provisions, like not being able to put up a fence to exclude stock from a waterway, without first applying for consent to put in the fence posts. This is contrary

to the government’s new stock exclusion regulations seeking fences to go in. Or worse, the fact that invasive exotic pest plants can only be controlled once they cover 90 per cent or greater of the vegetation cover. Basically, once they hit total infestation. This ignores the fact that some species, such as scattered wilding pines, may never reach 90 per cent cover, but even in small numbers can be a nightmare future problem if left uncontrolled. We believe the Bill is an ideological ‘solution’ looking for a problem. In our view, the matters the Bill seeks to manage are, or can be, handled under current national, regional, or local plans and regulations. Good environmental outcomes, and continued sustainable and productive high country

farming can, and do, work in harmony. Increased resourcing and funding of Land Information NZ (LINZ) and the adoption of contractually binding, bespoke Farm Plans linked to the lease will ensure a constructive, partnership approach to sustainable management can be taken. This Bill will not. It’s high country farmers in the cross-hairs today, but who’s tomorrow? Kim Reilly is the Federated Farmers South Island Regional Policy Manager.

ARS project continues ongoing improvements O ne of the key considerations for local government is how our infrastructure will continue to meet people’s needs in the years ahead. Assets like roads, footpaths and stormwater pipes all age, and just as importantly, the number of people they service and frequency of use can also change over time. Maintaining and upgrading this infrastructure has its complexities and a great deal of planning must go into ensuring they receive the work they need to remain effective. Last year, Ashburton District Council laid a new wastewater pipe from one side of the Ashburton/Hakatere River to the other, up to five metres below the shingle river surface. This was then connected to a pump station that pumps into our treatment facility outside Tinwald. In terms of how often this kind of upgrade is carried out, it’s certainly on the rarer side.

wastewater pipe under a running river that is of great importance and meaning to our community has its challenges. But last week, staff involved with running this project came together with our contractor, Seipp, and staff from Environment Canterbury (ECan) to discuss the project and what helped to make the upgrade such a success. It was acknowledged that good communication and a drive from everyone involved to reach a positive environmental outcome was a key factor in seeing the project succeed. Collaboration and strong communication can often make the difference between hitting the

mark or being just off base, and something as important as this needed to be done right, from start to finish. The river crossing and pump station is now up and running smoothly and council has since moved onto our next leg of Ashburton’s wastewater upgrades. This project, like the last is a collaboration between ourselves, our two contractors Seipp and

ACL, and ECan. For those who live on the eastern side of town, you likely will have seen work has started on Wakanui Road on the outskirts of Ashburton. We are installing a larger wastewater pipe from the Hampstead Rugby and All Sports Club right down to the river crossing pipe at the end of Milton Road South. Unfortunately, the nature of the

work has required some roads to temporarily close, but detours are in place. We anticipate the entire Ashburton Relief Sewer project to be finished by March next year, and once completed, it will provide decades of benefits to our growing community. After all, we cannot support a thriving population without vital core infrastructure, so investing today will pay off for our people in the years ahead.

COVID STRIKES

Synlait profits plunge By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

Canterbury-based dairy exporter Synlait has slashed its profit forecast as the Covid-19 pandemic disrupts its Chinese infant formula sales. Synlait reported a 76 per cent plunge in half-year after-tax profits to just $6.4 million on Monday. It now expects to be “broadly breakeven” for the full year. Last year it posted a full-year profit of $75.2m. This comes after a “significant and sudden” revised demand forecast received by its cornerstone customer and shareholder The a2 Milk Company in December. Synlait chair Graeme Milne and chief executive Leon Clement said the company faced several headwinds as the knock-on effects of the demand change continue to play out. A2 Milk has been hit as Covid-19 severely curtailed the important “daigou” unofficial trade channels into China.

While Synlait’s sales of consumer-packaged infant formula fell 16 per cent to 18,085 metric tonnes, a larger impact was felt in its manufacturing recoveries with infant formula base powder production dropping by 61 per cent. “We continue to take a conservative view on the recovery. While we remain highly confident it will occur, the timing and rate of recovery remains uncertain. “Despite this challenge, The a2 Milk Company remains a strong strategic partner. We are committed to supporting them to restabilise local supply chains and protect market access in the critical China infant nutrition market,” they said. “Another factor contributing to this uncertainty is our ingredients business. “The suddenness of the drop in infant nutrition demand, combined with rapidly rising Global Dairy Trade prices, foreign exchange, and a changing product mix, creates volatility. “It means we have not been able to rely on our ingredients business to absorb this impact as

much as we would have liked. “Finally, the pandemic continues to slow the arrival and departure of goods in and out of ports globally. While this is a timing issue, we expect delays to continue for some time and this will likely impact our 2021 financial fullyear result further.” In January, Synlait lifted its payout to farmers to $7.20 a kg of milksolids. Synlait’s focus was now on mitigating the short-term impact by managing costs and capacity and pulling forward value creation initiatives. Since its December 2020 downgrade, about $22 million of cost savings have been captured. Staff shift levels have been reduced at Synlait’s Dunsandel factory and Auckland. At Dunsandel, its Dry Store 4 will be complemented by a 30-wagon rail siding in May. This extends Synlait’s integrated manufacturing facility from farm-to-port with containerised goods sent via rail between Synlait Dunsandel and Lyttelton Port.

TASMAN YOUNG FARMERS

Woods takes Young Farmer honours Roshean Woods has beaten seven male competitors to become the Tasman FMG Young Farmer of the Year’s first woman grand finalist. In a fierce competition, Woods won the opportunity to head to the grand final in Christchurch in July to battle it out for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year national title. Runner-up was Jonny Brown, of Bankside with Peter O’Conner, a Lincoln University graduate, third. Woods, who works as a farm systems scientist at DairyNZ, has competed at seven district competitions in the past. She’s grown as a competitor in both skill and confidence, but never thought she’d be heading to the grand final.

Roshean Woods “Honestly, I’m a bit surprised to win. Like every other competition I’ve entered, I treated it like a

learning experience. “I never thought I’d get through to the regionals, let alone the grand finals,” Woods said. The eight regional finalists competed in eight modules and battled it out head-to-head in two time and point races at the Malvern A&P Show at the Sheffield Domain last weekend. “I first got involved with Young Farmers when I started studying at Lincoln University. “I was encouraged to join a local club. I’m not off a farm, and I didn’t have the network or skills a lot of my peers had, so Young Farmers really helped set up my networks, and it’s helped me meet some amazing people and learn some great skills,” Woods said. Going into the competition,

she felt her biggest hurdle was going to be the practical elements, but her competition experience held her in good stead. “I surprised myself a bit with the butchery module. I’ve never boned out anything, but I did it pretty ok. My husband does a lot of that, so I guess I’ve picked up a thing or two from him. “The engineering module was something I was a bit nervous about. Welding has always been something that’s made me nervous, but it actually went ok.” Woods is a passionate advocate for the agricultural industry, but it wasn’t always a career she saw herself in. It wasn’t until a visit from Lincoln University and DairyNZ to her high school that she got thinking about the opportunities.

“I’ve always loved science and saw myself working in a lab of some sort. They came to visit my school and spoke on all the opportunities within the agricultural industry. “Agriculture was a way for me to combine my love of science with the outdoors. I couldn’t imagine working in any other industry now.” Woods won three of the four strainer categories – environment, people and food – while O’Connor won innovation and technology. A written exam, as well as the famous buzzer quiz also tested the regional finalists’ knowledge. The 53rd season of contest was much awaited, after the remainder of the 2020 contest was cancelled amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

GOOD EMPLOYERS

Align Clareview finalist By Heather Chalmers heather.c@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury dairy farm with possibly the most flexible work roster in New Zealand has been named as a finalist in the Primary Industries’ Good Employer Awards. At Align Clareview, managed by Rhys and Kiri Roberts, their staff get to pick what days and times they work using an app on their phones. Clareview, which milks 1100 cows on 296 hectares at Westerfield, is part of Align Farms which has five dairy farms and two support blocks in Mid Canterbury. The Roberts have managed Clareview for nine years, with the bulk of their team working on the farm since they started. In addition to the Roberts, Clareview employs four full-time staff and one part-time relief milker, plus some other workers which take occasional shifts. Rhys Roberts, who is also Align’s chief executive, said the couple were “humble to get this far” in the competition. “It’s incredible to be recognised in the employer space.” The Roberts were nominated for the award, run by the Ministry for Primary Industries, which is aimed at promoting the food and fibre sector as a great place to work. At Clareview, staff have the ultimate in choice regarding their days and hours, with staff paid according to the hours they work. Using a software program, the manager enters what shifts need to be done. Staff select shifts using an app. “It is putting full flexibility back into the hands of staff. The aim is to get staff to re-engage with their communities. “One of the challenges we have in the dairy industry is that to do an eight or nine-hour working day in the traditional system takes 12 or 13 hours. They wake up at 4am and don’t get home until 5pm. Over that 13 hours they only do eight hours of work as this is split up with extended breaks. “What we offer is eight or nine hours of work without any extended breaks so they can do it all

Align Clareview managers Rhys and Kiri Roberts have been recognised as good employers. in the morning and have the afternoon off, or vice versa, or split this across the day if they wish. “We believe this frees up close to a thousand hours a year of our team members’ time. “They can use this to go mountain biking, ride their ponies, engage in the community, or

have family time, whatever they choose,” Roberts said. If staff want to make extra money, they can also work extra hours. The app has built-in safeguards to prevent people overworking, such as not allowing people to work more than six days in a row, or more than three

consecutive shifts in a day. “So, we are keeping people fresh and engaged and they want to be at work.” The app is not only available to the core team, but also others who may be under-employed in the community. “They may already have a job

working 30 hours a week, but they’d love another 10 hours. “We have the ability to open it up to them, so they have the ability to take a couple of shifts here and there to fill up empty spaces.” As a required number of people are needed for certain tasks, such as milking, Clareview had different ways of incentivising people to do these. This included opening the shifts up to a wider pool of people, or paying 1.2 times their salary. An afternoon milking could be done by two people, rather than the usual three, if necessary. “So we have a number of ways to ensure we have an even flow of people to do the work.” Clareview also offers afternoons where the team gets to choose to do something that adds value to the farming business. “As long as staff can justify why it adds value to the business, they can get paid to do anything from fixing fences to mowing the lawn at the local community hall or taking their wife to the movies,” Roberts said. Clareview offers full health insurance cover, not just for employed staff, but also their spouses and children. Clareview is also trialling regenerative farming in a dairy farming system, with half the farm being run conventionally and the other half under regenerative farming to monitor and compare the performance of both systems. The Roberts are finalists in the supreme category of the awards, along with businesses from the horticulture and forestry sectors. Another Mid Canterbury couple, Brent and Rebecca Miller, of MilkIQ, are finalists in the employee development category. The Millers are lower order sharemilkers and contract milkers on two adjacent properties at Ealing. From June 1, they will enter an equity partnership with the owners on one of the properties. The winners will be announced at Parliament in Wellington on April 12. MPI has set goals of employing 10 per cent more Kiwis from all walks of life in the food and fibre sector by 2030, and 10,000 more in the workforce over the next four years.

SPORT 39

Squire again out of action The comeback for Liam Squire is over – for now. Highlanders loose forward Liam Squire has been forced out of Super Rugby Aotearoa 2021 due to a recurrent knee injury. Squire, who turned 30 this month, made two appearances off the bench for the Highlanders at the start of the competition. He came on in the second half against the Crusaders in the opening game of the season, then a week later did the same thing against the Chiefs in Hamilton. The following week he missed the game against the Blues and was not sighted in the 23-man squad to play the Hurricanes under the roof last Friday night. All up, he would have played less than an hour. It is very tough on Squire, who is

coming off major surgeries on his knee and hip. The Highlanders said Squire had been hampered by his right knee injury and would now take time to rehabilitate his knee. Highlanders coach Tony Brown felt for his player. “It’s tough for Liam. He has worked hard to get back in shape to have a big season but his knee has flared up again which means we have to give him time now to rest it and try and get it right,’’ Brown said. Squire had signed a two-year deal in Japan but cut that short after surgery to his knee and signed with the Highlanders for the next two seasons. When he is fit and on the paddock, there are few as abrasive and dominant as Squire but his future would appear to be in doubt.

Liam Squire He has missed as many games as he has played in the past half-dozen years. There was talk of Squire getting back into the All Blacks but that appears to be premature, especially

now with the injury. When he will get on the paddock is still up in the air but he is determined to keep playing. The Highlanders have plenty of depth in their loose forwards. All Black Shannon Frizell has been in good form on the blindside flank while Japanese international Kazuki Himeno had impressed when he made his first appearance of the season last week against the Hurricanes. He has the ability to play on the blindside flank and also at No8. The Highlanders face a tough task this week, having to travel to Christchurch to take on the unbeaten Crusaders on Friday night. The southern side will start the second round of the Super Rugby Aotearoa competition in last place, having won only one game out of the four it has played.

In brief May ousted Champion harness racing driver, Ricky May will miss racing this week and furthering his bid to become the third driver to reach 3000 career wins in New Zealand after he was ousted by the stipendary stewards last Wednesday. May was suspended for careless driving and won’t be back driving until after racing is completed on April 5. Fellow Mid Cantab, Lawrence McCormick, was also suspended for the same offence with his suspension ending on the same day.

O’Reillys in form Father and daughter driving combination, Gerard and Sarah O’Reilly were in the winners’ circle on Sunday, picking up three wins between them. O’Reilly produced the goods on roughie Essence Of Easton early in the day and then picked up his second later on with the Geoff Dunn-trained The Falcon. Sarah found her way into the winners’ circle with longshot trotter, Ideal Invasion.

Cranbourne wins again

Juniors among the silverware Members of the Ashburton Junior Swimming team turned in some tidy results at the Swimming Canterbury West Coast Junior Championships over the weekend. Competing at the Selwyn Pool in Rolleston, Ashburton swimmers featured prominently on the results sheet from the meet with a number of first, second and third placings throughout the course of the championships. A 10-strong Ashburton squad was in action with Cooper Ward setting the pace and producing some outstanding results. He won the 100 metre individual medley, the 200 metre freestyle, the 50 metre butterfly, the 100 metre backstroke, the 50 metre backstroke, the 200 metre individual medley and the 50 metre freestyle and then added a third in the 100 metre breaststroke. Amwolf Artz was also in devastating form picking up four wins across the meet in the 200 metre backstroke, the 100 metre freestyle, the 200 metre individual medley and the 50 metre freestyle.

Mid Canterbury pacer Cranbourne showed he’s on a march toward the top grades of pacing in New Zealand with a stylish effort to win on Premier night at Addington on Friday. The Brent White-trained pacer held too many guns for a smart field of pacers later in the night to win in the hands of Stephen McNally. The Sir Lincoln four-year-old has now won seven of his 17 career starts and close to $70,000 in stake earnings.

IRONMAN

Currie conquers Taupo By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Cometh the hour, cometh the Ironman. Former Mid Cantabrian Braden Currie grabbed his second victory in Ironman New Zealand on Saturday – setting the Taupo course alight and putting his rivals to the sword with a breathtaking run leg to leave a talented field of athletes in his wake. A winner of the race in 2017, his first attempt at an Ironman, Currie – now one of the world’s elite multisport competitors – left nothing to chance on the weekend, and took full control of his own destiny from start to finish in front of a huge crowd of spectators and supporters. It was the stuff dreams are made of for the former Mount Hutt College student. A solid swim saw him out of the water in second place, he then produced a strong ride on the bike before he put the foot down on the run, and never looked back. “I had a really good day and worked really hard on the first lap of the bike, knowing that when the race came together and Kyle (Smith) and Mike (Phillips) were there with me, as long as I stayed consistent and looked after myself, I’d run well,” Currie said. And run well he did. After breaking a two-minute gap on his rivals early in the run, Currie kept pressing on and eventually that lead was out beyond six minutes as he entered

Braden Currie won Ironman New Zealand in Taupo on the weekend. the final third of the run and with the finish line in sight, he kept finding to win the race by over nine minutes. “I looked at my watch early in the run and was running a 3:05/ km pace and at that point I knew I was going to have a really good run, but I told myself I should probably slow down a bit.

“I didn’t want to end up in a side-by-side battle with those boys, I wanted to make them hurt and feel the pain early and not give them a chance to run with me. “Quite often that strategy works when you can run that pace for a while and grit your teeth and hang in there.”

After almost all of his racing last year was cancelled due to the global situation of Covid-19, being able to get back out and compete was a welcome change for the now Wanaka-based athlete. And while they might say that it’s your first victory in a race that tastes the sweetest for the 34-year-old grabbing his second

Ironman New Zealand win was pretty special. “That first win here on debut was a bit of a fluke to be honest and I probably didn’t give it the credit it deserved at the time. “I kind of shrugged it off and thought I must have just had a really good day, so it’s been a solid win after a few years of fighting for it again. “It’s been a long time since I’ve raced well here and I’m really proud of how it played out today.” Getting over the line first is always the major objective but Currie was quick to point out that he couldn’t do any of it without the support of his wife, Sally and their two children, Bella and Tarn – all three of whom could be heard lending their support during the race and running alongside him at various stages too. “It’s beautiful to have my family here. “My wife and kids have been on this journey with me every step of the way. Bella and Tarn are really starting to understand what’s going on; having a Dad as a professional athlete, they probably didn’t fully get that as babies. “It’s nice to show them how the hard work we’ve all put in can turn into the result I know they’ll be super proud of.” Currie will now turn his attention toward the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii set down for later this year. And there awaits some unfinished business with a fifth and a seventh placing in his two appearances at that event 2018 and 2019.

TENNIS

Seniors shine in the sun By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Champions might have been found, but the fun and laughter of the Mid Canterbury Tennis Seniors’ Championships was the big winner of the weekend. A large field of players took to the courts of the Ashburton Trust Tennis Centre for the event on both Saturday and Sunday – one of the final hurrahs for the local tennis season before the sport’s

winter break arrives. And if it was a send-off the sport needed after a busy and exciting season – then that’s exactly what it received from those who competed in the championships. Play was split into a number of categories for the tournament, from men’s and women’s doubles to mixed doubles and also a 120+ category from which entrants had to have a combined age of more than 120 years. In the men’s action, the A doubles was won by John Honeywell

and Julian Main, who prevailed in a tough line-up of players ahead of Jason Feutz and Peter Leonard while the B grouping was taken out by Steve Muir and Brian Needham, ahead of Chris James and Mark Kiddey. The women’s doubles saw Belinda Hirst and Karen Tait victorious in the A section, beating Jane

Brosnahan and Dianna Leonard, with Sharon Richards and Charlene Richardson winning the B section ahead of Sue Letham and Glenys Mitchell. In mixed doubles play, Craig Tinkler and Kerrie Ling won the A group ahead of Julian Main and Jane Brosnahan while Tony Moroney and Tania Howson took out

the mixed B from Warren Mercer and Yumiko Baldwin. There was no play in the women’s 120+ grade, but the men’s title was won by Murray Bradshaw and Doug Sheldon from Alistair Clemens and Dennis Taylor, while in the mixed 120+ Clemens combined with Sue Letham to win from Doug and Hilary Sheldon.

Time to cool off!

ROWING

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

There were no big successes to celebrate, but plenty of promising signs for the future from the Ashburton College rowing squad who competed at the Maadi Cup last week. Rowing on the internationally acclaimed Lake Karapiro for the week, the local contingent put in some mighty performances over the course of the six days of rowing, and capped off with some strong performances on Saturday, the final day of the event. Saturday’s big moment was Ged Wall lining up in the Boys’ Under 18 single sculls A Final, against some of the best young single scullers in the country. Just to make the final in itself, considering the quality of rowers competing in the event, was a huge moment and while finishing eighth, Wall still turned in an outstanding effort. There was some success on the final day of racing too. Mitchell Taylor and Henry Wallis capped off their week with victory in the C Final of the Boys’ Under 16 double sculls with a strong effort, posting their fastest time of the week to claim victory. In other action from Saturday’s last day of the championships, the Under 18 boys’ novice coxed four of Jed Amos, Liam Taylor, Jade Jung, Izacc Carr and Kyle Cabading finished seventh in their B Final, while the Under 18 girls’ novice coxed four of Constanza Cuadrado, Isla Connelly-Whyte, Sophie Gibson, Sienna Skilling and Charles Savage placed eighth. The Under 15 Girls’ double sculls team of Isabel Wall and Amelia Chambers finished seventh in their B Final.

CRICKET

Allenton falter at final hurdle By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A bridge too far. Allenton were unable to produce a match-winning performance in the Canterbury Country Combined Senior Cricket Competition on Saturday, falling to a 37-run defeat at the hands of Greendale on the Greendale Domain. The team to beat solely based on their form of the past month, Allenton are this week rueing missed opportunities, in a match that should have belonged to them after another great performance with the ball in hand. Captain Karmjeet Singh won the toss and elected to put his side’s hosts into bat. It looked a good decision when Greendale were back in the sheds SCOREBOARD Greendale: 146 all out (Satwant Singh 3-18, Balkaran Singh 2-33, Hasdeep Singh 2-15) Allenton: 109 all out (Satveer Singh 45, Karmjeet Singh 15, Balkaran Singh 15)

having scored just 146 before their last batsmen fell. Satwant Singh had done the majority of the damage, while also restricting the run scoring. He took 3-18 off his eight overs, ripping his way through the lower order. Balkaran Singh, fresh off his six-wicket haul of the previous week, was again dangerous in claiming two wickets, while Hasdeep Singh also chimed in with two wickets of his own. 146 on a grass wicket should have been achievable, and as Singh had asked from his side for many weeks it was just a case of batting time and not throwing away wickets. When he fell for 12 and Allenton were 2-24, they were still in a good position, but that turned to 4-33 in the space of two overs and Allenton needed to knuckle down. Tajinder Singh tried to do his bit, batting for 51 balls and scoring just six runs, but when he fell at 5-55 Allenton needed something bigger. Satveer Singh was nearly that big moment. He came in and batted with freedom, scoring 45 to put his

side back in the match. His wicket however, spelt the beginning of the end, with the last two batsmen adding just four runs to the score before they were all out for 109 with four overs remaining in the innings. Defeat was tough – but there’s plenty the Allenton lads will be able to be proud of from their season. Fighting back from near oblivion in the competition after Christmas to book a spot in first the semi-finals, to then knock over the rampant Sefton side and book a spot in the final was an effort in itself. The side also made special mention of the effort of their always-reliable scorer, Bob Bruhns – a valued member of the squad and someone who was always willing to travel to take care of the book-keeping. The match could have been Allenton’s last in the Canterbury Country Competition, with a move to South Canterbury being floated after a Timaru side was forced to withdraw from their competition in the middle of this season. Confirmation of that decision is expected during the off-season.

Allenton were unable to secure victory in the Canterbury Country Combined final on Saturday, losing to Greendale by 37 runs.

BOWLS

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

The Allenton Bowling Club was again the star performer at another Bowls Mid Canterbury Champion of Champions day, this time the triples which were held at the Hinds Bowling Club on Saturday. But while it was Allenton who stole the show with two of the four titles heading back to their clubrooms, the day was a special moment for two well-established players from the district, who picked up gold stars for their winning efforts. Diane Gutberlet and Wendy Suttie both claimed stars for their win, along with Laraine Mills in the senior women’s triples title. It was the first gold star (five Mid Canterbury sub centre titles) for Suttie and the third for Gutberlet who claimed her 15th when skipping her side to success. They saw off the challenge of a strong Allenton trio in the final to win 16-14. Allenton got one back in the senior men’s competition, with Richard Kane, Gary Blackwell and John Drayton taking out the title after two strong wins in the

early stages of the competition. They took on the local Hinds team in the final and prevailed

19-11 to claim the victory. The junior men’s competition also went to Allenton with

Wayne Lloyd, Mick Buchanan and Greg Harrison proving too strong for the Ashburton MSA Bowling Club side in the final, with the Allenton lads winning 26-7. Saturday’s fourth title was the junior women’s event, which was a straight final between Hampstead and Allenton. Jaimee Carrodus, Rachel Broker and Emma Prichard from Hampstead took out the match winning 25-9. Then on Sunday a number of players were back on the green for the rescheduled Ashburton Bowling Club Fours and Pairs tournament. Teams of four played in two rounds of play with each round consisting of a match of fours before the sides split in two to play a game of pairs each. After losing their first game of the day, Brent Mayson, Murray Smallridge, Pete Whinham and Millie Foggo went unbeaten for the rest of the day to win the title with five wins. Ashburton Bowling Club locals, Reg McGarry, Murray Anderson, Alan Millar and George Crack were second with four wins and a draw while Rosemary Bennett, Sandra and Bob Holdom and John Drayton were third with four wins.

In brief Trident’s Twlight Team Trident claimed an comprehensive victory in Mid Canterbury Tennis’ Twilight Tennis tournament which finished last week. The side, unbeaten all season, finished with 17 wins, four clear of their nearest rivals, Donalds Dux (13 wins) and Hackers (12 wins) were third. In Section 2, What A Racquet (15 wins) were the winners ahead of Grand Slammers (9 wins).

Tinwald 3500 A huge field of golfers took to the greens of Tinwald over the weekend for the annual Phat Duck 3500. Playing a best ball format on Saturday and then a best nett format on Sunday the combined scores from both days found the winners. In the men’s competitions Kerry Venmore and Paul Lane emerged victorious with 192, well clear of runnersup Andrew Salvesen and Tim Gallagher on 202. The women’s title was won by Bev Chinn and Wendy Bruce with 208 ahead of Sharon Watson and Carol Brown on 211. The mixed title went to Gary Lee and Linda McClea with 214, in front of Bruce and Elizabeth Collins on 217.

Petanque success Members of the Ashburton MSA Petanque Club put some silverware into the trophy cabinet over the weekend when they claimed the Ashburton/Woolston Trophy with a resounding victory picking up 413 points.

It hasn’t been the most ideal of starts, but there’s plenty of encouraging signs out of the Mid Canterbury Senior men’s team in the Canterbury Championship League. The side played their first home match of the season on Saturday at the Ashburton Domain, taking on Parklands in the second round of the season but finished on the wrong side of the score sheet, losing 1-2 at the final whistle. Luke Martin scored, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the Parklands challenge as they claimed maximum points from the match. Saturday’s defeat followed a week after another narrow loss in the first round of the competition when Mid Canterbury took on FC Twenty in Christchurch. Again, it was Martin in on the scoresheet, but three-quick goals to FC Twenty turned the match on it’s head. Mid Canterbury did grab a goal back in the second half, with again Martin finding his way onto the scoresheet but they weren’t able to grab an equaliser, losing 2-3. This week the side heads back to Christchurch for another tough battle where they will take on Waimak United who are so far two-for-two and lead the competition. While it wasn’t joy for the seniors, the senior reserve side readied themselves for the season with a good win on the weekend, beating Methven FC 4-1. Ben Chute and Josh Burrowes both found the back of the net twice to secure the victory. The reserves begin their season proper this weekend when they also travel to Kendall Park in Kaiapoi to tackle Waimak United.

Ashburton Altrusa Club

Lisa Lawrence, from Ashburton Palliative Care, accepted our donation of funds for a Syringe Driver, to be purchased with proceeds from the Christmas Tree of Remembrance, positioned in the Arcade in December 2020. We will also be donating funds for a second one, as this is much needed for palliative care in the Ashburton community, using the proceeds from another pre-Christmas venture, with Rotary, selling new potatoes at various sites around Ashburton. Further monetary support for the Literacy “Boost” programme in Ashburton schools was also approved. Our focus now is on the Altrusa Ashburton Craft and Fabric Bazaar, to be held on Saturday 10th April at the Sinclair Centre, from 9am – 4pm. You may have seen the colourful posters around town – I see them when crossing the railway line. At this time of year, the different committees are preparing entries for various District Fifteen Awards. This acknowledges the work done by them during the Altrusan year, ending in May, with the annual Altrusa District Fifteen Conference, held this year in Timaru.

up first place in the Pro shop Trainwreck stableford with a superb 40 points. Davey Hampton, Eric Parr, Phil Kerr and Al Jopson all had strong rounds of 38 points and Hamish Niles got himself a couple of two’s on his way to 37, so well done to everyone. It seems that Tony Neil may have to retake his train drivers test after picking up the prize for most wrecks, but I think all in all everyone had a great day and supported our wonderful Pro. As of writing I do not have the full results from the Tinwald 3500, but have been told by many people that is was a wonderful tournament, very well run and great fun. I did see on Facebook that mother and daughter dynamic duo Bev Chinn and Wendy Bruce picked up the top ladies prize, great effort girls. The Brandon boys showed that it is always much better to be lucky rather than skilful when, after playing like hackers on Saturday, managed to snaffle a horse in the Calcutta and ride them home for a nice little pick up. This Easter weekend we have a couple of mixed days at the Brandon, on Saturday we have a Greensome game, with Family pairings going for the Keig Cup and other pairings after the Coasters Trophy. Make up your own pairs or just pop along and Matt will sort you out, and he has a great knack of putting top teams together. Then on Monday we have an individual stableford Turkey trott. If you are not heading away for the long weekend, come on down and join in the fun. Till next time good Golfing.

Ashburton Hearing Association

Recently 29 members hopped on board for our mystery bus trip. We headed out of town via the Ashburton Airport to see the former Information Centre at its new site. From there we returned into town via Beach Road and South Street turned left and proceeded along State Highway One making another left turn south of Hinds towards the Coast. Not far down that road we were welcomed by Lawrence and Gay Thompson who have, over the last 25 years, built a beautiful home surrounded by an idyllic garden. Lawrence and Gay have done most of the building and landscaping themselves and the result is nothing short of amazing. After a morning tea in those incredible surroundings we went further down the road to the Rangitata Huts for a picnic lunch stop. Some on board the bus had spent time at the Huts in years gone by, others had not been there for a long while and others had never been there before. All of us enjoyed walking around the settlement, meeting some hut holders and looking at the sea. Time spent by its authors at the Rangitata Huts inspired the famous and funny television comedy series Letters to Blanchy. Next year will mark 125 years since Huts were established at the north side of the Rangitata Mouth and plans are being made to celebrate that milestone. A fund raising event “Open Homes at the Rangi” will be held at Christchurch Show weekend. All too soon it was time to get back on the bus and head home along a route which took us via Hinds for our traditional ice cream stop before winding our way back along some great roads. A great mystery trip to special destinations in a scenic part of our District.

Ashburton MSA Outdoor Bowling Club

Our bowling season is fast coming to an end and l am pleased to report 2020 /21 season has been our most successful for many years. Membership remained about the same as the previous year but with a couple of younger competitive members

joining our ranks was like a breath of fresh air around the place. Bowls saw Gus Harrell and Russell Ward decide bowls wasn’t a bad game and decided to take it on and with a bit of coaching from club coach Richard King these two players went on to win Sub Centre titles after 5 months bowling, with Gus taking out the champion of champions singles title and combining wit Russell to take out COC pairs. title a top effort. Along with these tiles our competitive Juniors were on a winning streak with Shane Calder taking out COC singles title and combining with Trevor Pearce to win the pairs title in their last season as juniors. Another highlight for the season had to be Linton Muir and Tony Inwood taking out the Mid anterbury Sub Centres Pairs title beating a very strong field of bowlers. During the season our club members have been busy bowling around the county supporting all club with their tournaments with most teams picking up prize monies along the way, but also enjoying the camaraderie among players.

We continue to get good turnouts on fine days with the majority of members playing 3 games, and a small group play just 2. It is good we have the option of how many games members want to play on a Club day. This week we are holding a meeting to form a committee who will plan how we celebrate our 10-year anniversary which is next year. How quickly that time has gone and how much we have achieved since we started. At the end of the first year our membership quickly grew to 28, and now we have progressed to 52. We had 3 of our members take part in the NZ Open Triples in Herne Bay with Neville Bensdorp finishing 3rd in the championship. Kearn Bensdorp and Richard Browne also performed well finishing well placed. Our Club Mixed Doubles this year saw 10 teams entered which is a record for this event as our female membership well outnumbers the men. This was won by Lyn Allison and Richard Browne, Runners up Garry Kilgour and Marion Harrison. Third place was Karen Bensdorp and Trevor Nish. We have also held a new club event for the 80’s and over and 6 of us took part. We played slightly shorter games and played singles. This was won by Mick Little, runner up was Rosemary McLaughlin only 5 points behind. Margaret Pike and Marion Harrison were 3rd equal. Wil Nuberg and Rewa Kyle were right on their tail. It was enjoyable and some were just a little tired at the end of it all and is something we will do again. Our Tuesday and Thursday afternoons are always open to anyone who wants to give the game a go.

Ashburton Pakeke Lions

President Lion Jim Martin extended a warm welcome to Members and Visitors to the March “Irish Night” Meeting and thanked members for the great effort in running the Charity Market last weekend. Apologies were read by Isla Jones and members were asked to help with the collection for the Red Puppy appeal on Friday 26th March and to help with parking at Trotts Garden Fete on Saturday 27th.

Lion Ron Bush introduced speakers Marg Stocker & Tim Shewan who addressed the meeting on the “Forgotton Shepa’s of Nepal Trust Charitable Orgn.” which was set up by GeOrge Hunter of Geraldine to assist sherpas living in the South West of Nepal. This work has been carried on by members of the Geraldine Tramping Club who make self-funded trips bi-annually to Nepal. They have assisted families living around the village of Damas with clean burning fires, clean water, solar panels for lighting and medical help for the community. Because of the inadequate roading all transport is done on foot and many of the school children walking up to 2 hours each way to attend school. This has created many problems in servicing the area. Local groups here raise funds to help the trust in their work and provide woollen clothes/blankets/ hats etc. After questions asked by members, Marg and Tim were thanked by Lion Jim Young who presented them with a donation to their Trust and a Certificate of Appreciaton. As the theme for the evening was Irish the Members were entertained by pianist Judy McKeown, Peter O’Neill, Bob Rodgers and Diane Young who sang several medleys of Irish Songs and Jokes joined by enthusiastic members. President Jim reminded members of the forthcoming Convention at Waimate and requested a good attendance for the Sunday Rededication and Remembrance Service. Raffles were drawn and tailtwister Trevor Andrews entertained with a light-hearted session from which very few members escaped a fine.

Ashburton Woodworkers

President Dave Strong welcomed 17 members to the March meeting with special mention to two life members Dave Busby and Brian Ching. Mention also made regarding the sale of our outdoor barbeque table and chairs. Show and Tell: Roger Scammell: segmented 3D pattern board made from various different woods glued together. Kevin Challis: several bowls. John Millichamp: three yew bowls from a hospital tree. Paul Sheldon; lidded box, mulberry bowl. Roger Scammell our demonstrator for the evening showed the group how he made the numerous three-dimensional boards, whether they are

CLUB NEWS 45 used for chopping/ bread boards or purely for decoration. I likened some of his work to the Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher.In this instance Roger used several lengths of useable left over scrap wood, cut to size on a band saw, bench saw and depending upon the end result many off the lengths were cut on certain angles. The wood then put over a thicknesser and sanded to ensure accuracy. Contrasting colours of timber, and or wood with particular grain is what Roger is wanting to achieve these geometric designs. These lengths of wood are then glued and clamped together. Once the glued has dried they are cut again so that the end grain becomes the surface and depending how the different timber is arranged gives you the finished imagine. Roger had fascinating material to show us and we certainly were impressed with his skills and patience. Thanks Roger.

Ashburton Writers Group

Vice President Stacey Broadbent welcomed members to the March meeting held recently.

“The more trees we plant, and grow, and harvest, and use, and replant, the better for the health and wealth of New Zealand.” Dr Andy Buchanan, Professor Emeritus University of Canterbury, spoke about the design and structure of multi-storied timber buildings, particularly new buildings post-earthquakes in Christchurch. He also spoke about increasing interest in timber structures world-wide. The environmental benefits, compared with steel and concrete, were featured. Timber buildings are internationally well known. An eighteen-story timber building in Canada is the tallest in the world. The Fogoing Pagoda in Japan at 53 metres was built in 1056. New Zealand’s Old Government Building, built in 1876 using wood because of earthquake risk, was until recently the world’s second biggest wooden building. New technologies come from twenty years of extensive international research, including the University of Canterbury, giving confidence in earthquake building preparedness. Worldwide we now have new engineered wood materials. Glulam (Glued Laminated) gives us laminated wood that can be shaped as wished. LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is very long and strong. A new material is CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) giving us huge panels, 4-5 layers, and 6-8 inches thick. The cutting up of wood is computer ‘Numerical Controlled’, involving big factories worldwide. New connections are used: now half-metre long screws are used. Pre-Lam (Prestressed Laminated) frames, instead of using boltand-screw, use a technique seen in a child’s toy, when the little figure is jerked upright by the button underneath activating the rubber band. Now a steel bar, or tendon, is run vertically, and horizontally, through the floor levels. U shaped steel bolts separate providing energy dissipation. Following earthquakes, buildings can be dismantled and rebuilt, with tendons re-stressed. Why build in wood? Renewable resource: law carbon footprint: lovely appearance: health and safety: time and cost: lightweight construction: top quality performance. Why not? Conservative construction industry: lobby from steel and concrete providers: weak design skills: poor perception of durability: risk. In the Christchurch earthquakes, for example, wood stood up, but masonry fell. Wood buildings showed durability. Dry timber doesn’t decay. Chemical treatment of wood is the last resort. Fire resistance contains the fire, prevents collapse, and giving people access in and out of a tall building is paramount. Prefabrication is possible, as is carbon neutral building. The carbon footprint, ‘embodied Co2’ shows that concrete emits 10% carbon, more than aircraft. The hierarchy of concrete-steel-wood emissions shows that “timber plus” is best. A number of Christchurch post-quake rebuilds are using these technologies. They can also be seen locally: in our Farmers Corner toilet block on the Main South Road – an impressive structure on our back door. The projected construction for the Ashburton Civic Centre is also heavily using this contemporary wood technology; something we can all keep a knowledgeable eye on.

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Your efforts to try to understand how things work will pay off big time, as will any attempt to understand the motives of others. Later, you’ll be sharing what you learned. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You think about the wants and needs of others first and later about what you’ll get from the exchange. It’s an excellent order though, just for the day, you should reverse it. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Life will change you, sometimes with your consent and sometimes without it. Getting comfortable with that fact will allow you to let go of the need to control everything. Plenty of fun comes out of this. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Focus on one thing you’d like to do or see by the end of the day and love what comes out of it – maybe a win or maybe a strong sense of momentum to last you through many wins. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The cost of today’s achievement will be in the ballpark of the anticipated price, though the currency will be different, which might feel weird at first but it’s something you could get used to. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): It’s OK to be needy. If you were never in need, then you’d be at a severe disadvantage, without the excuse to bond with others, nor with the sufficient vulnerability and relatability to do so. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): When you like someone, you want to please them. But you could really lose your thread by doing this. Don’t work in the direction that will make someone happy. Stick with the direction that satisfies you. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): The way you look at the scene matters a lot, can make all of the difference in what happens next. You won’t go wrong striving for maximum objectivity and asking for an outsider’s view. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Your wanting may be quite mild, but you certainly know what you do not want and this knowledge is absolutely golden. Make that long list of noes, as clarity comes with every item you add. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): It makes you happy to see others happy, but don’t confuse this with the satisfaction that comes with doing what you set out to do for yourself. The latter is more pressing. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Refer to the people you admire and want to be like – they make you laugh, smile and work harder. These models, whether living or dead, accessible or not, will seem to speak to and guide you. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Though it is natural to be nervous before making a commitment, you can be sure that you will overcome whatever you need to in order to fulfil your duty.

Locals dominate on the courts

The locals had the most to say at the Ashburton Squash Club Open on the weekend, dominating the results. The two-day tournament, which began on Friday night

and ran through all of Saturday, saw some of the best squash players in the Canterbury region in action, but they all had to bow down to the locals in the top-flight division, with Katrina Palmer winning the women’s Open, and Lee Barker claiming the men’s Open for a clean sweep at the top.

Palmer was in devastating form, and played up to her top seeding for the tournament to beat Kelsi Carrick who finished second and Sarah Blair who was third. Barker was equally as impressive in the men’s, winning from Agustin Maunier, with Alan Westrupp finishing third.

Other women’s titles for the weekend went to Brenda Hall who claimed women’s A over Laura Pinn, and Rosie Gibbs who took out the women’s B title ahead of Rachel Hart. In the men’s lower grades, Jack Lamb claimed A grade honours, beating Bryan Ford in that final, Macca Rae won the men’s B

ahead of Richard Beverage and Nathan Seaward claimed the men’s D title ahead of Dan McCloy. The Midlands Squash tournament circuit heads to Hinds next for the Hinds Open on April 16 and 17, before the Mayfield Open a week later on the 23rd and 24th of April.
