There’s a growing public concern about student cellphone use in schools. The Guardian’s Facebook page has been swamped by comments about what is a modern day educational challenge. The public reaction follows a serious and potentially harmful incident at Mount Hutt College where a student has been suspended for using their cellphone to film a fellow pupil allegedly without them knowing. Mid Canterbury schools wanting some best practice advice at least don’t have to look too far to find it. Full story, page 4

Subdivision saviour

Charlie’s chair a real winner By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Charlie Lawn has put his mark on Hampstead School and, quite frankly, he doesn’t even know by how much. Charlie had a seemingly simple idea, making a place at Hampstead School where pupils could meet and make a new friend. And principal Peter Melrose thought it was a great initiative, which he helped bring to life. The discussions and planning for what became known as Charlie’s chair started at the end of last year and Melrose didn’t need much convincing. Having additional seating outside was something that was already on his radar. The planning duo thought a lot about how to execute the idea, tossing up between a seating area or a bench, among other things.

Eventually the pair decided on a design that was metal, with a circular seating area with small holes in the table and chairs for rain drainage. The funds to pay for the concept were granted by the board of trustees, who thought it was an awesome thing to do. And Charlie’s favourite part of the process? It was seeing the seating components all wrapped up when they arrived before builders put it together and installed it. “He is very proud of himself,” Melrose said. Now, during lunch time at Hampstead School, there were more and more pupils sitting at the Charlie’s chair area every day. Although Charlie remained humble in talking about his project, Hampstead School was thrilled to bits by their young student’s friendship-focused initiative.

Local section drought might soon be over By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

The critical shortage of residential sections in Ashburton could shortly be over, with several new subdivisions likely to hit the market this year. Currently developers of two large blocks on the fringes of Ashburton are in discussions with the Ashburton District Council. These include two eight hectare residential D blocks bounded by Racecourse and Farm roads and a 24 hectare Residential C development on Trevor’s Road. The Farm Road block goes under the hammer next week and Bayleys sales agent Mick Hydes said it was attracting strong interest. While the land was currently only able to be subdivided into 4000 square metre lots, there was future potential for this to be rezoned, he said. The Trevor’s Road block was rezoned several years ago, but a proposed subdivision did not proceed. The land has now changed hands and it is understood work on the subdivision could start within six months. When completed it will provide more than 350 home sites. While they will not provide bare land options, work on two new subdivisions in Allenton is also under way. The properties will be marketed as house and section deals. The first of these, off Allens Road has a stream boundary and walkway and Mark Williams from First National said the 10 lots are attracting strong interest. Each lot will contain a three bedroom home.

In brief Fatal crash Police have released the name of the man who died following a crash on Hakatere Potts Road in the Ashburton Lakes area on March 27. He was Ashley Neil O’Donnell, 35, of Ashburton Lakes. Following the single-vehicle crash near the Ashburton Lakes, O’Donnell was airlifted to hospital but later died, a police spokeswoman said. The investigation into the circumstances of the crash is ongoing. Police extended their sympathies to O’Donnell’s family and friends.

Hit and run A driver hit and killed several sheep and fled the scene on Tuesday afternoon. Emergency services were called to the scene on Longbeach Road at around 2.10pm where a car had driven through a flock of sheep, killing between 10 and 20 sheep instantly before leaving the scene. Police, the Willowby Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade and a vet attended the scene to assist the farmer with the clean up.

He is also marketing a second land and home package on Carters Road. Work is yet to start on this, but it is believed to also be a 10 home development. Tinwald is better served when it comes to ready to market sections with a number available in the Tarbottans Road area. The Guardian also believes a large subdivision is planned for Tinwald’s east, bounded by Grove Street and Fords Road. Currently there are a number of blocks of land on the market along Racecourse Road, but these are in the Residential D zone. To get a handle on the town’s development needs, Ashbur-

ton District Council strategy and compliance manager Jane Donaldson said the council was working on a Future Development Strategy, which will basically set the scene for the next 30 years. “The first stage involves the collection of data and one aspect of that is a Housing and Building Assessment (HBA). That’s a government requirement via the National Policy Statement for Urban Development. In a nutshell, we need to ensure we have sufficient land supply for the medium term future,” she said. The council has commissioned an expert from Lincoln University to carry out the HBA,

and it will provide the information needed to determine whether the current land supply and allocation of zones was sufficient, Donaldson said. It would show where there were infrastructure constraints, whether there was more demand for Residential C than Residential D land, and if so where it would be appropriate to rezone. “By looking at the overall picture, we will hopefully be making sound decisions based on the research rather than looking at individual sites in isolation,” she said. The report is unlikely to be completed before the end of this year.

The Ashburton Volunteer Fire Brigade attended a fence fire on Galbraith Street in Allenton at around 2.45pm on Saturday. It was extinguished by the occupants with a garden hose and some assistance from the Ashburton crews. The Hinds Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade attended a vegetation fire on Hinds Arundel Road at around 5.25pm. The small hedge fire was extinguished quickly. Arcing power lines were the likely cause of a roadside vegetation fire on Longbeach Road at around 7am on Sunday. Crews from Hinds and Willowby attended and had it extinguished before it was able to spread into a neighbouring maize field. Hinds attended a vegetation fire on the corner of Adam Jackson Road and Tilsons Road near Geraldine at 12.40am on Monday. Around 50m of shelter belt was on fire on both sides of the road. Hinds and Geraldine crews had it under control by 3.30am although the Hinds tanker remained on the scene until 5am. The fire was deemed suspicious.

Cellphones need to be ‘managed’ – principal By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

A Mid Canterbury school principal believes the use of phones in schools needs to be carefully managed. Ashburton Intermediate’s Brent Gray says a tightly managed cell phone policy could be a way forward for other schools in the district. The views come amid the recent suspension of a Methven secondary school pupil and growing calls from the local community for the use of phones in schools to be banned. A Mount Hutt College pupil was suspended last week after an alleged incident where they filmed another student. The incident and the college’s phone policy are now under review ahead of a forthcoming

board of trustees hearing. There was significant support for the prohibition of cell phones at schools in response to a post on the Guardian Facebook page which garnered more than 160 comments. Ashburton Intermediate, whom “strongly discourage” pupils bringing cell phones to school as outlined in its school policy statement, have adopted a more restrictive phone protocols over several years. Principal Brent Gray explained the school’s protocols in which pupils were required to hand their phones in each morning. The phones are then stored in the school office, before being delivered back to pupils at the end of the school day. “We’ve had very few issues,” he said. “Students absolutely know what happens if they do [break

the rules] and parents are happy to back us up on that.” He added that if there were any other issues for pupils around social media and phone use that were did not impact the school, to contact the police. Ashburton Intermediate confirmed they have had discussions with other schools on the subject previously. Gray agreed that other schools in the district adopting a similar policy was worth considering. “They’ve queried us from time to time to see what our policy is,” he said. “Ninety per cent of our students go on to Ashburton College.” Ashburton College says under its college procedure guidelines that cell phones are important for pupils in terms of communication with parents and caregivers. “Abuse of a cellphone to harass

others in the College community is regarded as a serious breach of student behaviour and will be dealt with as a disciplinary matter.” Gray admitted it was not straightforward for secondary schools. “If they like students to have a device then they accept that a phone is one of those,” he said. “Often if they need to note down homework from the board, then the easiest way to do that is by taking a photo on their phone.” He said the challenge for educators was managing the issue of phone use. “You’re never going to get it 100 per cent correct,” he said. “Most of our students probably have phones because they need to communicate with parents after school, rather than anything else.”

LEST WE FORGET

■■ Absolutely not! Like it or not, cellphones are, and will be an integral part of everybody’s life! Teaching kids to actually co-exist with these things is crucial! Should we ban notebooks because someone drew a crude picture? - Barbara Lee Rosa Kimthony-Smith ■■ At Geraldine High School, the year 7 and 8s are not allowed them at school. The year 9s up are not allowed them in class, but can have them at breaks. Seems to be working pretty well. - Sarah Redwood ■■ It’s our source of communication between family members and friends, we need the phones for things like checking what class you have next, messaging family and if you can’t afford a laptop then the phone is what you have to use. - Sam Stockdill ■■ If your kid doesn’t know how to behave when taking their phone to school just keep it at home. Don’t punish mine over it. - Petra Reynolds ■■ I feel phones shouldn’t be allowed in class rooms. Teachers have enough to do without supervising phone use. - Diane Swain ■■ Remove the phones and eliminate many issues that surround them! Kids are at school to learn and already face many distractions. - Heather Broomhall

Construction workload through the roof By Sue Newman sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

Post Covid-19 might have become boom time for Ashburton’s construction sector, but that’s coming with plenty of headaches when it comes to traditional supply chains. For home builders, that pain is coming with extra costs and often the need to change first to second choice fixtures and for anyone wanting to book a builder the message is very clear – you’re in for a long wait. McIntosh Group general manager John McIntosh said the delays and difficulty accessing some products were frustrating for both builders and clients. “It’s tough for everyone and it ends up costing people a lot more money,” he said. The product shortage and the surge in house build numbers had been growing over several months and it was something no one expected to see post Covid-19, McIntosh said.

“Most builders in Mid Canterbury are reasonably well committed for at least a year. There’s large workloads out there and only a certain pool of builders to call on. In the last month along we’ve taken on five or six apprentices, but you also need the guys at the top end.” There would always be builders who could fit jobs in, but overall,

the construction industry was extremely busy, and while that might be frustrating for people wanting new homes built, it was good news for the community as a whole and the district’s economy, he said. Craig Ingold from Ingold Builders who has stopped short of adding to his construction team, said his crews were just coping with

the added workload – for now. “It’s certainly good for builders to be this busy, but there’s only so much you can do,” he said. In terms of product shortages, builders were now having to order items such as appliances before starting a job to ensure they were available when required, Ingold said. Sam Millar at Des Millar Con-

struction described the situation as quite tight, but by ordering fittings well ahead his company was managing to ensure minimal impact from supply chain delays. “There’s an awful lot of talk about shortages, but so far touch wood, it hasn’t affected us too much.” Mid Canterbury builders are counting themselves lucky that the Carter Holt Harvey decision to cut building timber supplies to three major suppliers – Mitre 10, ITM and Bunnings – is likely to have little effect on their businesses as both ITM and Mitre 10 source most of their timber from other suppliers, they said. Pressure on the construction industry shows little signs of easing, with the Ashburton District Council building consent numbers at an all-time high. Currently it is more than 50 building consents ahead of where it was at the same time last year and is averaging two applications a day for a new home build compared to last year’s average of 12 per month.

Community trust boosts local organisations By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury approved almost $35,000 in funding grants in Mid Canterbury in its latest funding round. The trust’s board met at the end of March at the Waimate Event Centre for the final meeting for the 2020/21 financial year. The trust considered applications for funding up to $10,000 and 18 applicants were successful and a total of $77,474 was granted – with $34,671 of that going to Mid Canterbury organisations. The Community House Mid Canterbury Charitable Trust received $8671 towards an air conditioning upgrade and front desk replacement. Ashburton District Neighbourhood Support received $5000 for

operational expenses. Ashburton Youth Café Charitable Trust received $8000 towards the running of the BASE Youth Centre. Methven’s Wellbeing Opuke were granted $7000 towards operational costs and the Caninspire Charitable Trust received $6000 to help run CanBead workshops. Rachael Allan from CanInspire thanked the trust for the grant which allows CanInspire to “continue to run CanBead workshops for people experiencing illness, trauma and loss in Ashburton and Timaru”. In the free workshops participants learn basic jewellery making skills and make a beaded necklace and set of earrings. “They also receive a kit bag with tools, materials and beads, which enables them to continue this activity as creative therapy whenever they feel the need for distrac-

tion,” Allan said. “Workshops are run in collaboration with host agencies including the Cancer Society, Arowhenua Services and Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, with a trained tutor and helped by a wonderful group of volunteers.” There were also programmes that operate region wide that received grants. They included Read NZ Te Pou Muramura which received $5000 towards their Writers in School programme and Anxiety New Zealand $5000 for operational costs. The Community Trust of Mid & South Canterbury uses returns from investments to fund its philanthropy. The trust supports not-forprofit organisations and projects which contribute towards achieving a region of healthy, vibrant and caring communities.

Materials aplenty at Fabric and Craft Bazaar

A funny day at Hampstead By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

When the Duffy Show comes to schools, teachers’ eardrums will be tested by the laughter that shakes their halls. That was no different at Hampstead

School last week when Fipe Foal, Shasha Te Whare and Alex Medland had the children in fits of laughter. Hampstead was the 46th show they have performed this term. Although it was fun, their comedy routine came with some important messages. This year’s Duffy Show was written with

last year’s lockdown in mind. The play highlighted key feelings children may have experienced over that period and the struggles of online learning, and ways to handle it. Tough experiences, but all recalled in a fun way the children of Hampstead School will remember for quite some time.

Boxes have been piled in preparation for the Fabric and Craft Bazaar at the Sinclair Centre on Saturday. Altrusa International of Ashburton members have been working for months to sort through donations from the public and prepare them for sale. The boxes contain almost everything needed to create dresses or curtains, jerseys or tapestries, embroidered cloths or patchwork quilts and even unfinished projects. Hundreds of metres of material have been measured, thousands of buttons have been packaged, balls of wool have been priced, and magazines and patterns have been boxed. Materials and tools for many crafts are also available, including a spinning wheel. The bazaar has become a valuable fundraiser for the Altrusa club and has enabled the club to give donations to groups such as the reading programme Boost, the Seabrook McKenzie Centre and Ranui House which provides accommodation for patients and families from out of town attending Christchurch Hospital. The bazaar was cancelled last year because of Covid-19 and the organisers said the delay had given people the chance to sort out their cupboards and sewing rooms for the donations which were still coming in to the collection depots at Resene and Smith and Church before they closed collection on Tuesday.

Fords rev it up at Rosebank By Maddison Gourlay

maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

Classic cars revved up the Rosebank Resthome residents on Saturday. The Ford 8 and 10 Enthusiasts Club South Island called in at the resthome for a pit stop on what was its 25th anniversary rally. The group had turned 25 last year during the Covid-19 lockdown and so were forced to celebrate the achievement a year late. The car show in the car park at the resthome put a big smile on the residents’ faces. One of those impressing the residents was the red 1939 Ford Prefect, known as Aunty Ivy. It was the reason the group started to begin with when owner Hilary Butterick simply wanted to know more about her wee red car. Twenty-six years on, Aunty Ivy was parked up at the resthome with her Union Jack flag alongside seven other small English Fords ranging from 1938 to 1955 models. The rally then left Rosebank and continued on to lunch at the Plains Railway Museum in Tinwald before heading on to the surprise end destination, Kerry Paterson’s Ashburton Forks Garden Railway.

Support for Hinds’ MAR The majority of ratepayers at last week’s community meetings on the Hekeao/Hinds Managed Aquifer Recharge targeted rate supported both the continuation of the project and the associated targeted rate that is required to enable activity to carry on in future years. The Hekeao/Hinds Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) project is New Zealand’s largest managed groundwater rehabilitation project, delivering ecosystem health and enhanced environmental, cultural and recreational values within the catchment. When combined with continuous improvements to farming practices and Near River Recharge, the project will achieve improved environmental outcomes. Ealing farmer and MHV Water shareholder Mark Slee supported the programme and was pleased to see such positive feedback from

the community at the meeting. “To me, the MAR project is good for our community,” Slee said. “As a farmer I am confident that MAR is having positive outcomes on both groundwater quality and quantity. “Anything that we can do to mitigate historical impacts is positive and we should all be supporting positive action to generate future change.” Hekeao/Hinds Water Enhancement Trust chair Peter Lowe said it was reassuring to see so many members of the community turn out to the meetings. “As a community, we must take action to improve water quality to help ensure we meet future statutory requirements,” Lowe said “The MAR project has been running for some time and has had proven results. “To ensure we can continue with

year two enhanced activity on the project, we need a majority of Hekeao/Hinds ratepayers to back the application of a targeted rate, so it was fantastic to see the support at this week’s meetings.” Local ratepayers were being encouraged to go online and have their say on the targeted rate option on the Environment Canterbury (ECan) Long Term Plan consultation site. “If we don’t get sufficient support, the project will not continue and that will have significant longterm economic consequences for our community,” Lowe said. ECan has issued a correction to its consultation information, clarifying the proposed targeted rate changes for MAR.

OUR VIEW

The thin blue line’s litmus test By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz

n out-of-control party, and a police officer who overstepped the mark, should be a reminder to all of us about how things can quickly turn violent. And how it all plays out in an investigative review could now be a defining moment for police. Because the 20th birthday party in Christchurch, which spilled on to the street, hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons when a police officer insulted a woman and forcefully shoved a man in the chest, knocking him to the ground. An independent panel is now investigating the actions of the officer caught on camera calling a woman “skanky”, before pushing to the ground a man who apparently swore at him in response. The incident is something of a test case for the police complaints authority, a truly independent watchdog that works hard to audit the actions of officers. Their findings will be fascinating because this has become a national issue of interest. We all know it could have happened anywhere, even in Mid Canterbury, and now we’re all waiting to see how the authorities will act after the video was there for all to see on primetime TV news. It also garnered more than 700 reactions, 500 comments and 20 shares in 11 hours on one Facebook page alone. To be honest, it didn’t make for great viewing for the boys and girls in blue. Yes, they were doing their job in a tense and hostile situation where the threat of injury was probably very real. But what is right and what is wrong in terms of acceptable conduct? Was it an unnecessary use of force by the concerned officer? Should police officers like the one in Christchurch even be allowed on the front line? Aren’t police employees trained to remain calm, professional and to de-escalate potential violence? We don’t know the full story about what exactly happened, and we may never know, but we do know that a police officer appears to have been out of line by calling a woman a derogatory name. And if we ever sink to the depths of accepting that sort of behaviour, then we are in real trouble as a society. That sort of action does not diffuse a situation. It simply inflames it. Of course, it’s well worth remembering that the vast majority of New Zealand police officers are honest, law-abiding men and women, who are brave enough to take on a tough job. They deserve the respect and support of law-abiding New Zealanders. But the New Zealand public also needs reassurances that all police officers are crystal clear about what is expected of them and how they should act. Police are not meant to act like the people they are arresting. They are supposed to uphold the law. That expectation, and execution, became a little blurred in Christchurch at the weekend. Now we wait to see if the police complaints authority agrees.

YOUR VIEW Have your say It’s disappointing to both observe and hear of the poor the turnout of local citizens at the Ashburton District Council’s Long-Term plan meetings last week. There is a need to get the whole community to take part in the dialogue and to put their views directly to the councillors

and the council staff. No use moaning later on at golf or to your work mates about all the things you think could be done better. It is to be noted that there is a distinct group missing at these meetings . . . all the under 55s. Where are you? Get out and have your say . . . it’s not too late . . . make a submission.

OPINION 11

Methane’s different warming impact still not accounted for F

ederated Farmers is very concerned the Climate Change Commission’s draft advice to the government on emissions budgets puts a much bigger ask on methane-emitters – largely farmers – to make up for a lack of action on those sectors emitting carbon dioxide. This is because in the terms of reference the Climate Change Minister did not task the commission with finding out ‘What level of reduction in biogenic methane is zero carbon equivalent?’ A big worry for us is that if targets to reduce long-lived gases – such as galloping carbon dioxide emissions from transport – are not achieved, farmers will then be asked to do even more. This would not only be disproportionately harmful for farmers, the agriculture sector and the New Zealand economy, but also the atmosphere. Delaying reductions in longlived emissions but reducing short-lived emissions risks adding to long-term warming and achieves emissions reduction targets in name only. In a submission sent to the commission by last weekend’s deadline, Federated Farmers said it appreciated the commis-

By Andrew Hoggard FROM THE FARM sion’s efforts to correct media reports that the draft advice had recommended a 15 per cent reduction in NZ’s dairy, sheep and beef animal numbers. But any assumption that the tremendous productivity improvements that have occurred on New Zealand farms since 1990 can continue at a linear rate is misplaced. As farmers approach fixed biological limits, a steep diminishing productivity return on investment may result, even for the most cutting edge farmers. On the 8-10 per cent reduction in stock numbers expected as a result of current policies by 2030, Feds has requested the commission provide a detailed breakdown as to the specific policies assumed to reduce stock numbers, and in which regions the reductions in stock numbers are assumed to occur. Farmers certainly support the commission’s recommendations for better rural internet connectivity. Our Rural Connectivity

Survey 2020 report revealed that around two thirds of farmers across the country endure download speeds that would struggle to support most modern-day online services let alone farm productivity improvements like precision agriculture We also support the commission’s recommendation that the government revisit the effective ban on genetic engineering (GE). Reversing this ban is an important step towards enabling emission reducing technologies for the agriculture sector. As GE matures as a technology, the opportunity cost of New Zealand’s current prohibitive policy framework will increase, and Kiwi farmers risk being left behind. Let consumers make their own choices. Feds has also again emphasised farmers’ deep concern about planting the wrong trees in the wrong place. Much of this blanket afforestation is driven by the allure of valuable emission units from forestry (‘carbon farming’), while planting restrictions under the National Environmental Standard for Plantation Forestry drives it away from marginal land towards productive farms. On the east coast of the North Island in particular, our mem-

bers have already seen jobs lost and rural schools close and there is a fear large amounts of productive land will be lost long term for a short-term climate accounting gain, with no beneficial behaviour change resulting, and rural communities being blanketed in increasingly fireprone pine trees. While pleased that the commission’s report makes it clear that all sectors of our society – not just farming – have a part to play in reducing greenhouse gases, Feds believes the recommended path ahead squanders an opportunity for New Zealand to champion a better, scientifically-sound metric for accounting for the warming impact of short-lived (mainly methane) and long-lived (mainly carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide) gases. The advice and recommendations in the draft report show acute awareness of perceived international expectations yet go to great lengths not to demonstrate genuine global leadership regardless of there being strong scientific reasons for doing so. The Government listened to the science and adopted a split gas approach for domestic targets. While the targets set for methane are unscientifically harsh, setting a separate target

took genuine international leadership. We are disappointed there remains no split gas emissions budgets and disappointed that the commission has not recommended that New Zealand adopt a split gas Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The unusual nature of NZ’s emissions profile has resulted in our climate policy having a greater focus on agricultural emissions than most developed nations. The Paris Agreement allows some flexibility when setting NCDs. This is an opportunity to demonstrate global climate leadership and we are disappointed that, despite making many compelling arguments for doing so, the draft report does not recommend that the New Zealand government adopt the most fit-for-purpose GHG metrics or split-gas targets.

Luxon’s religious views risk turning off voters By Jane Patterson

aking a page right out of the John Key playbook, rookie National MP Chris Luxon has addressed his religious beliefs head on. He took the opportunity provided by his maiden speech to declare it had become “acceptable to stereotype those who have a Christian faith in public life as being ‘extreme’ ... my Christian faith [has] anchored me, given my life purpose and shaped my values, and it puts me in the context of something bigger than myself”. Described as a “Christian fundamentalist”, Luxon knows as well as anyone that could be a vulnerability if he follows the path of future leadership. He’s pre-emptively setting the narrative: religious beliefs don’t necessarily mean extreme political positions, that Christianity can be altruistic. Christianity in politics, of course, is nothing new; his own National Party now has a definite seam of Christian conservatism with MPs of strong faith holding some of the party’s safest seats noticeably more so than during the days of John Key. Even the successor of the openly agnostic and eminently pragmatic Key, committed Catholic Bill English trod a careful line while prime minister, between exerting his own personal beliefs and governing for an electorate that doesn’t always

Chris Luxon embrace religion impinging on executive decisions. The commitment to religious values in National shone through last term in particular because Parliament had hefty and long-running conscience issues voluntary euthanasia an obvious one. These are, of course, issues where MPs are expected to draw on their personal beliefs; the legislative debates and public hearings just provided a platform for views expressed forcefully, often intertwined with matters of faith and religion. The decimation of the caucus in 2020 has also concentrated the influence of the male, Christian conservative MPs in those blue-ribbon seats, predominantly in Auckland, with

other colleagues removed from electorates that fell to Labour or stripped off the list. In fact, Luxon’s statements his faith “is not in itself a political agenda”, “no religion should dictate to the state” and “no politician should use the political platform they have to force their beliefs on others”, echo English’s own commitments when he took over as leader and PM - just made in more deliberate and strategic fashion. It’s in keeping with the convention of the separation of church and state, but having attended rallies in the United States by the likes of Republican Ted Cruz myself and where being Christian is almost a pre-requisite to being president, New

Zealand politics clearly have a much more secular bent. There is absolutely a Christian constituency out there for a party that could pull together strong credible leadership and a manifesto based on Christian values, while acknowledging modern day New Zealand. However, former National MP Alfred Ngaro decided it wasn’t a goer to set up a new party after testing the water in 2019. Christian based parties in the past haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory but have come close to getting into Parliament. The Christian Coalition, led by Graham Capill and Graeme Lee, fell just short in 1996 with 4.3 percent support at its peak, but the party then splintered. A major blow to Christian politics was the sex scandal after Capill was jailed for nine years in 2005 after pleading guilty to abusing three young girls. The following decade the Conservative Party was born, led by Colin Craig. He financially backed the party and raised its profile; at its most successful it gained 3.97 percent of the party vote in 2014 but failed to win any seats. The end of those political aspirations was also marked by court action - several cases of defamation and cross claims over many years The major parties also court Christian conservative voters; Labour has a religious base particularly through its Pasifika supporters which can sometimes

cause it to teeter uncomfortably between that and its strong liberal wing. Remember Judith Collins praying in the election campaign and asserting her Christian faith? However, the risk is if a leader of a mainstream party like National is seen as too extreme, too willing to allow their personal beliefs to dominate their political decisions, there’s a danger of turning off the large rump of middle ground voters some traditional National voters. They’re the voters that deliver the victories needed to take, or keep, power. Luxon is playing the long game with rote lines whenever he’s asked about future ambitions: he’s a recent arrival, he’s learning the ropes, he’s just going to do the best job he can within the caucus. Presenting a soft and compassionate face is crucial to the nurturing of his brand and he’s chosen to start the process in a direct way. In Key’s day it was called ‘inoculation’ - get it out, face it head on and make sure it doesn’t become an issue in the future. He did it with the superannuation age and Labour’s Jacinda Ardern has done it with capital gains tax. Personal beliefs are a different matter, they shouldn’t be cauterised for the sake of political expediency. The trick for Luxon will be to convince the public there’s no threat, that he’d be a leader for all, not just the religious right.

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Good news! Elaborate problems will not need elaborate solutions. Simple solutions applied repeatedly to multiple layers will do. Progress will be made with one effective measure repeated hundreds of times. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): You don’t expect people to read your mind, but it would be nice if they would at least tune into the tone you’re using or retain a few words of what you say. Oblivious people may just need to be awakened. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Your identity is not a cultural narrative. You may enact aspects of a type; try them on like a costume. They’re not your real clothes. No single person entirely fits a stereotype, though many fill out aspects of it. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Who doesn’t love a bouncy ball? You smack it on the ground and you’re never quite sure what kind of chase will come next. The equivalent of a bouncy ball will be hiding inside one of your tasks of the day. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Being first on the scene will give you multiple advantages. The silence before the action will be magical. Then it’s like the opening credits of a movie, rich in foreshadowing what’s to come. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The things that go right don’t have nearly the scientific value as the ones that go wrong. That’s where the excitement, fun and learning come from. There’s nothing that cannot be embraced in this whole day. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You can own the day and still move through negative emotions. Negativity isn’t a bane to overcome; rather, it’s part of life to process and use. Shade gives the picture dimension. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): It will be impossible to dedicate yourself to solving a problem without accidentally solving something for yourself in the process. Everything you give will also be a gift to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Loving people can still blame one another for less-than-ideal outcomes. Though it’s true that some of the problems are no fault of your own; it doesn’t change what needs to be done about it now. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): If you knew your whole purpose in an endeavour was to lay a launching pad for the next person’s rocket, would you still put in the work? Of course, you would, just as your predecessor did for you. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You see what’s around you and glimpses of something a little farther – enough to tease you into journeying on. Pack fortifications. The distance is more distant than it looks. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): If it feels like you’re stuck in a spot, it’s because you are. Also, there are about ten easy ways to get out of this and hundreds of more hard ways. You’re one phone call away from freedom.

Edible plant protein venture gets $20m boost Canterbury-based Leaft Foods is embarking on a $20 million research and development programme that could put New Zealand on the map as a leading leaf protein concentrate producer. Through its Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures fund, the Ministry for Primary Industries is contributing $8 million to the five-year programme, along with Leaft Foods’ $12m, to develop technology that extracts edible protein from New Zealand grown green leafy crops. Leaft Foods’ technology will be used to produce high-quality protein in the form of gels or powders that can be used in a range of foods in the fast-growing global market for plant proteins. The plant-based protein start-up will also produce an animal feed that is optimised for ruminant nutrition and has the potential to lower nitrogen losses and emissions on-farm.

MYCOPLASMA BOVIS

Mid Canterbury farm cleared A grazing block in Mid Canterbury has been cleared of the cattle disease mycoplasma bovis after completing the decontamination process. The property, part of the spring M. bovis cluster in the district, can now return to normal operations, a Ministry for Primary Industries’ spokesperson said. More properties were expected to be cleaned and cleared ready to return to the business of farming over the coming weeks. All remaining 10 active confirmed properties are in Canterbury, with seven in the Ashburton district and three in the Selwyn district. Of the seven Mid Canterbury cases, all are part of the cluster first identified last August, apart from the Five Star Beef feedlot at Wakanui. Moving day for dairy farms was fast approaching and grazing movements and calving could create challenges for farmers in the M. bovis programme under a Notice of Direction, which restricted cattle movements. Drawing on past years’ experience, the programme will prioritise dairy farms and support blocks under NOD restrictions, the spokesperson said. “The aim will be to get these farms through the programme as quickly as possible before Moving Day or calving starts. “As the job of tracing cattle movements from and to infected properties continues, there will be new farms that will require testing under NOD restrictions. “Some of these will be dairy farms and support blocks close to their planned upcoming movements or calving. Bulk Tank Milk detect farms will also be identified

Changes are being made to the beef surveillance programme, with more testing for mycoplasma bovis in districts where there is a higher risk of the cattle disease. PHOTO SUPPLIED during this time.” While meeting disease eradication outcomes, minimising impacts on farmers and animals was a priority and extra support would be available over this time. In combination with programme partners, DairyNZ and Beef + Lamb NZ, information will be available for farmers outlining what they can do to lessen the risks of M. bovis in the lead-up to Moving Day. Meanwhile, changes were being made to the beef surveillance programme, with more testing for M. bovis in districts where there was a higher risk of the disease. The national beef cattle surveillance programme screens cattle for exposure to M. bovis on beef and drystock properties,

at meat processing plants and on feedlot entry. Previously, samples were taken during TB testing, which to date has worked well, however most TB testing now occurs in areas where M. bovis hasn’t been as common. From April 1, on-farm screening will transition to more focused, risk-based surveillance of beef and dry stock herds, where there has been higher prevalence of M. bovis. This means it will no longer be routinely coupled with TB testing and will now be scheduled alongside other routine management practices which cattle are yarded for. SVS vets and veterinary technicians will now book and schedule sample collection

at times when cattle are already being yarded. Taking samples for testing when cattle are yarded for other management procedures was an effective method that minimised disruption to farming activities. This meant farms can be sampled without the need to bring animals in just for M. bovis testing. A large number of farms of many production types will now be tested, across New Zealand, with sampling expanding to include additional herd types, such as dairy heifers, beef breeding animals and bulls. With the move to risk-based surveillance the number of herds to be tested will vary between regions, with surveillance more intense in regions and herd types where risks associated with acquiring M. bovis have historically been elevated. “With thousands of farms already sampled, the information collected from the operation of the national beef cattle surveillance continues to build confidence that M. bovis is not widespread in the beef sector. This programme continues to make a huge contribution to our progress towards eradicating M. bovis from New Zealand.” M. bovis was first detected in New Zealand in July 2017, after cattle in a South Canterbury dairy herd began displaying symptoms of a novel disease. Since then, 170,486 cattle have been culled and $194.9 million paid in compensation to farmers in a national bid to eradicate the disease. Nationally, 252 farms have been cleared of the disease.

Farmer confidence rises to highest level since 2018 The recent spike in prices for dairy commodities has seen farmer confidence surge to the highest level since early 2018. Rabobank’s latest quarterly rural confidence survey has net farmer confidence sitting in positive territory at +10 per cent, up from -23 per cent in the previous quarter. That was a significant recovery from March last year when the pandemic pushed confidence down to -44 per cent.

The survey found 29 per cent of farmers expected conditions in the agricultural economy to improve over the next year, while 19 per cent thought it would get worse. About half estimated conditions would stay the same. Rabobank New Zealand chief executive Todd Charteris said the dairy commodity prices were boosting farmer’s outlooks, but there was some good news for the sheep and beef industry as well.

“Commodity prices for red meat products haven’t fared as well as dairy prices,” he said. “But demand from our key markets has held up much better than expected in the first quarter of the year, with Chinese demand in particular leading the charge as our major market continues its post-Covid-19 recovery.” Charteris said horticulture was not faring as well, with more growers expecting the performance of their own business

to worsen than those expecting it to improve. “Labour shortages have been flagged as a major concern by growers in recent quarters and the impact of these shortages has really started to bite over recent months as we’ve moved through the peak of the harvest season. “Rising input costs and the lingering impacts of Covid-19 are further factors weighing down confidence in the sector,” Charteris said. – RNZ

INDOOR BOWLS

Bowlers set for busy season By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

After losing most of their season last year due to Covid-19, the Ashburton Indoor Bowls Association is gearing up to make up for lost time, with a busy calendar of bowls in the coming months. Almost all bowls in the district was halted last year by the pandemic, with only a handful of events played and many of the major events competed for every year pushed to one side – but with no interruptions in 2021, there’s plenty for the playing community to sink their teeth into. The association released their season calendar on the weekend with the inclusion of some new formats for championship events, a full list of representative fixtures and a number of other tournaments which will be competed for during the year. Championships singles, pairs and triples will move to qualifying on a separate night with post section played either that weekend or the following Thursday, while fours events will remain as one-day events on the weekend. Ashburton holds six championships during the season – two singles, pairs, triples and two fours. Representative fixtures during the season include matches against Timaru, North Canterbury and Canterbury individually while they will also compete in the Triangular Trophy against South Canterbury and North Otago and the Quadrangular against South Canterbury, North Otago and Otago. Ashburton will also have a team to compete in the annual Paterson Trophy zone playoff in Westport in July where the district’s top eight bowlers take on teams from Marlborough, Nelson, Golden Bay and Motueka, Canterbury and the West Coast for the right to head to the National final of the Welch Trophy, which this year will be held in Hamilton. A number of players will be heading north in June to compete at the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Nationals in Blenheim. The season begins with three Thursday night tournaments this month, the Rakaia Triples on April 15 and the Methven Triples on April 22 – both of which are held at the McNally Street Stadium and the Ray Ellis Triples at the Ashburton MSA on April 29.

OPINION

The good and the bad of the rugby By Jamie Wall RNZ

ur national game didn’t do itself any favours last week, that’s for sure. In what was a wild few days, story after story broke, knocking each other out of the news cycle on a better than daily basis. Very little of it could be described as good, until against all the odds the Highlanders came out and somehow smashed the Crusaders in Christchurch on Friday night. Before then, the southern men had dropped six of their players for breaking team protocols, and then tried to simply put their team sheet out and expected no-one to notice. The Highlanders have a very well earned reputation for being a pack of amateurs when it comes to media relations, so this was the latest chapter in a long history of poor engagement – but even for them, this was exceptionally stupid. Within a day it was discovered what had really happened, with a house in suburban Dunedin being frequently used for parties by the players. On the surface, it’s not a huge deal really, which is why they should have just front-footed it

Connor Garden-Bachop on his way to scoring the match-winning try for the Highlanders on Friday night. PHOTO RNZ and told the truth. It’s certainly small fry compared to the ongoing Silver Lake saga, which involves almost half a billion dollars and is set to drag on for at least a couple more weeks. as the NZ Rugby Players Association has somehow managed to make NZ Rugby look like the good guys in this. NZR chief executive Mark Robinson faced the press on Thursday in a somewhat shambolic press conference that was

supposed to be about a new sponsor for the National Provincial Championship, giving away little other than a bit of a smirk when the NZRPA’s attempts to gain leverage over the situation were mentioned. Then word came through that Sam Cane had been injured and was set to miss six months with injury. On Friday Ardie Savea chimed in on Twitter with his thoughts on the way the Highlanders’

party boys had been dealt with in the press, which led to a back and forth battle with the journalists who had written the story. He is now in the running to be All Black captain due to Cane’s absence. If that comes to pass then his relationship with the media will probably need a bit of a reset. Savea is a good guy with good intentions, but what’s happened to get to this point is a serious lack of education provided to him by his employers around the role the media plays in promoting the game. There was a lot to like about the Highlanders’ performance later that night, in fact it’s impossible to say any of them had a bad game. Ethan de Groot was immense at prop, veteran Bryn Evans was gunning down players over a decade younger than him, Mitch Hunt kicked the lights out and the back three were outstanding. Special mention to Scott Gregory, the young Northland wing who had a very rough introduction to Super Rugby Aotearoa last season when the Blues made it their entire gameplan to force him into making mistakes, but he stood up with the tackle of the season on a flying Ethan Blackadder to deny him what looked

to be a certain try. Unfortunately, the joy of the win was overshadowed by former Highlanders player Joe Wheeler doing his best Krusty the Clown impersonation, dropping a clanger of a ‘joke’ in the post-match interviews. The public reaction to his gaffe said an awful lot about Sky TV’s insistence on hiring former players maybe not being as great a policy as they think, and Wheeler’s not-quite-an-apology shows that the state of PR and media comms involved in rugby across the board probably needs a serious lift if the game is going to stay relevant. Then, after a week in which we got more rugby news than we’d normally have in a season, Super Rugby Aotearoa round five culminated at Eden Park with a pretty rubbish game between the Blues and Hurricanes. Ardie Savea attended the post match press conference, answered a few curly questions about refereeing and gave no opinion on the game the night before between the Highlanders and Crusaders. Not because he was trying to be difficult, mind you. Savea sheepishly admitted he hadn’t even watched it because he was out with friends instead.

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

Former Mid Cantabrian, Meg Cunneen, will be hoping for a warm homecoming when she lines up Mamma Sans at the Ashburton Racing Club meeting today. It will be just the second time since going out on her own training that Cunneen has raced a horse at her former home track, but on her best ability, there’s every chance of the trip back to the old home town could be a winning one. Mamma Sans gave Cunneen her first solo training win earlier this year, and has only raced once since that day. Cunneen is the daughter of well-known Mid Cantabrian, Paul – a former Mid Canterbury rugby representative and centurion – and there’s extra pressure with Mamma Sans as Paul is a co-breeder and the owner of the mare. After cutting her teeth with some of racing biggest names like Mike Moroney and Pam Gerard, Stephen Autridge and Jamie Richards in the North Island then Shane Kennedy and Anna Furlong in the south, Cunneen found her niche alongside legendary Riccarton trainer, the late Neil Ridley, where they compiled an impressive record of success before Ridley passed away last year. That pushed Cunneen into taking out a solo licence which in turn led to Mamma Sans rewarding her with victory at Kumara back in January. Mamma Sans will be ridden today by another local name, Jason Laking, in what is his comeback day of riding after a serious fall back in October on the Ashburton track shunted him to the sidelines. Laking was riding in the feature event of the day, a key lead-up to the Riccarton Cup

Milestone ahead Former Mid Canterbury trotter Tor-nado Valley has moved to within a whisker of becoming just the ninth trotter in the history of harness racing to earn $1 million in this part of the world. The former Terry McMillan-trained, bred and owned horse who now races in Australia for Andy and Kate Gath won his 38th race, taking his earnings to $990,297. If he reaches the $1m mark he will join an illustrious list of trotters; Lyell Creek, I Can Doosit, Sundons Gift, Speeding Spur, Take A Moment, Stent, Keystone Del and One Over Kenny.

Winning return Rakaia Dairy farmers, Mike and Sue McGuire, made a return to the winners’ circle at Motukarara on Monday when Rosie’s Son was victorious in the opening race on the programme. The loyal harness racing partners have enjoyed a lot of success over the years, but have been quiet in recent times – but turned that all behind them with Monday’s impressive victory. Rosie’s Son is the first foal of the McGuire’s former handy mare, Rosemma, who was trained by John Hay in Ashburton before she went to Australia, where she closed out her career with 10 wins and 22 minor placings before returning to New Zealand to be bred from. Bob Butt has taken over the training of Rosie’s Son, and also did the driving on Monday.

O’Reillys strike again Meg Cunneen and her first winner, Mamma Sans who races today at Ashburton. Carnival, when his mount, Zoltan, crashed to the track at the point of the home bend leaving him lying motionless in the middle of the track. There was serious initial concern for Laking’s well-being in the immediate aftermath of the fall, but the message soon spread around the Ashburton Racecourse that he was conscious and talking with medical staff. It would later be revealed that he had broken his collarbone, a number of ribs and bruised his lung, along with other bumps and bruises from the fall. “I remember turning for home and starting to boot up thinking they’d quicken the pace like they usually do, but they didn’t,” Laking said after the fall. “Then I heard the noise of my horse clipping heels and next thing I knew all I could see was the ground and that’s it, I don’t remember anything after that.” Laking has accepted five rides today on his return, including two for strike-rate Riccarton trainer Ross Beckett, who look strong each way chances on what is a really intriguing day of racing, with wide open fields the order of the day. A number of other local trainers will be out to make hay on their home track with Ashburton trainer, Tracey Hickey saddling up two bright prospects in Tarabeebee (Race 5) and Sure Is (Race 9).

The latter was disappointing last time out at Riccarton, but had been in encouraging form prior to that. Today the six-year-old mare jumps into a race that looks well within her grasp with Gosen Jogoo to do the riding. Tarabeebee returns from a spell today with Jogoo also to ride. The smart mare hasn’t been since October last year, where she was a luckless seventh on her home track behind some handy types. Today she takes on a good field, but with a strong fresh up record and a good weight advantage over some of her more favoured rivals, she’s a definite blow out chance at a nice price. Today’s nine-race programme kicks off at 12.03pm. LOCALS IN ACTION Race 1: #5 Red Right Hand (Amanda Schwarz), #10 Klear The Deck (Amanda Schwarz) Race 3: # 2 Van Halem (Robyn Ayton) Race 5: #6 Granite Bridge (Robyn Ayton), #7 Tarabeebee (Tracey Hickey) Race 8: #2 Clooney (Bevan and Robyn Wilson), Vermont (Matt and Sarah Smith) Race 9: #4 Sure Is (Tracey Hickey), #8 Colorado Miss (Cheri Trembath).

Mid Canterbury harness racing family, the O’Reillys, kept their good run of form up on Monday at Motukarara when brothers Leo and Gerard both found their way into the winners’ circle. In recent months, few weeks have gone by where someone with the famous racing last name hasn’t tasted success. Leo produced a confident drive to win on Frosty Reception at a big price during the middle of the day for trainer Chris McDowell before Gerard made sure he wasn’t left out when Sally Lindenny won the penultimate race. Gerard’s daughter, and Leo’s niece, Sarah was in on the action over the last week too winning two races at Manawatu, where she has been travelling to drive for Michael House.

Morrison on form John Morrison’s stranglehold on the New Zealand junior drivers’ championship continued last week with another brace of victories to extend his season tally to 40. The former Ashburton College student picked up two winners at Wyndham on Thursday, saluting with warhorse Franco Huntington and then grabbing the Wyndham Cup with Memphis Tennessee. Morrison has a seven-win lead over Sarah O’Reilly on the junior drivers’ premiership and is shooting for his third consecutive title – a feat achieved by very few juniors.

Ashburton Celtic’s Sam Pearce makes a huge run down the grandstand sideline in Saturday’s big game against Timaru Celtic. The home town boys were well revved up for the club’s centennial match, but had to withstand a storming first quarter from the visitors. They did that, keeping their line intact with desperate defence, and then produced their own attacking prowess, scoring several spectacular long-range tries in

the process. The second half developed into a siege on the local line, with the Timaru side enjoying around 80 per cent of possession and territory, but again the defence was up to the task. Even when the visitors brought on some serious heavyweight front-row replacements which overpowered the local scrum several times, Celtic still repulsed every attack, to finish with a final score of 28-0.

On Friday night, Celtic’s weekend was kicked off in superb style when club president Darion Gray unveiled a plaque to commemorate the club’s centenary. Present to assist were Donald, Paul and Pat Summerfield, brothers in a family deeply involved in a multitude of roles in the Celtic club for many decades. At the centennial dinner on Saturday night, Donald Summerfield was honoured with life membership of the club, an extremely popular award.

‘Perfect’ weekend From the very start, right through to the finish – just absolutely perfect. And if Celtic Rugby Club president, Darion Gray, had the ability to change anything about her club’s centennial celebrations over Easter Weekend, what she would change was easy – nothing at all. From near-perfect weather through to a wonderful celebration of a club steeped in history, not only on the Mid Canterbury level, but also further afield, Gray could not have been any happier, or more proud of how the event went. “It was just perfect, I can’t find any fault,” she said. “You couldn’t change any of it for the world, it was that special.” After months of planning and hard work from a tireless crew of committee members and volunteers, the three-day event went off without a hitch, from the special centennial jersey auction, the women’s team exhibition match to the tug of war on Sunday, with more than 250 attending the Friday night celebrations and then more than 300 turning up for the Saturday night event, after a day of rugby at their Keenans Road base. With camaraderie, catching up with old friends and reminiscing on the old glory days high up on the priority list for anyone who attends such an event, for Gray there was one particular aspect that stood out. “I couldn’t believe how invested and

involved the younger members of our club got with the entire event, right from our colts and senior sides including our women’s team – they were right in behind it and got completely involved. “I think that was the thing I was most proud about over the course of the weekend, seeing that was very special.” Messages of congratulations flowed from all around the world over the course of last week and into the weekend which added some very special moments to the weekend. They came from former players, friends of the club and there were even some video messages captured from Jack Goodhue, Aaron Smith and Scott Robertson after the Crusaders and Highlanders match on Friday night. Covid-19 restrictions kept some people away from the event who would have otherwise attended, but one of Gray’s tasks this week is to package up and send away a number of copies of the special celebration book compiled for the centenary. Destinations on the list include Italy, America and Australia, which underlined just how far spread across the planet the Celtic story goes. After that though, it’s back to business. There’s a club to run, and a rugby season to look forward to. And everyone at Celtic is hoping that the centenary isn’t the only thing they get to celebrate this season.

Job well done. Celtic prop Keanu Huria gets the big stamp of approval from Eru Cooper-Tahuri and his team-mates for his efforts after finishing a powerful stint in Saturday’s game. PHOTO ADAM BURNS 030421-AB-028

The Celtic coaching crew of Dwayne Prendergast, Matt Winter (obscured) and Danny Hurley might be looking pensive, but they were extremely pleased with their charges’ performance in the big centennial match against Timaru Celtic.

A picture for the ages. At the Celtic centennial celebration photo session on Saturday morning, Nate Cockburn and Wally Grieve lined up together; the youngest and oldest members of the club.

I was only here for one-and-a-bit seasons 20 years ago, but I made so many life-long friends in the Celtic ranks, we still get together every year; that just hasn’t happened anywhere else - Aidan Rodley

Trytime! Elyh McKibbin finishes of a superb Celtic try on Saturday.

A day out for the younger Celts Easter Sunday at Celtic Park was a day for the younger brigade. The family day included JAB skills demonstrations and other activities for the kids, with the barbecue cranked up, and there was the obligatory tug of war in the clubrooms, which the younger pack so very nearly pulled off, until a late charge (with some very late assistance) from the wily ‘more mature’ contestants. Left: The Celtic kids lined up in the grandstand during Easter Sunday’s activities.

Ashburton County Lions

The March tea meeting of the Ashburton County Lions began with a visit to the local hospice. Members had the opportunity to look around the buildings, learn about the operations of the group and how we as a service club can do our part to support the great work Hospice Mid Canterbury. The Hospice is doing a fantastic job in helping anyone in Mid Canterbury who has a life limiting illness and they have a wide range of services and therapies available to them and their families to help make the difficult times a little easier. Following this visit members met back at the Ashburton Hotel for our meeting and dinner. Anne and Michelle from the Ashburton College then spoke to the club addressing the concept of period poverty and other issues facing many of the young women at the college. They thanked us for the support we have given in the past donating sanitary items and said that from June the government will be providing these items to high schools but there will still opportunities for us to continue our support in other ways. During the meeting it was moved that we would use the money raised at the Xmas Tree Festival to support following youth organisations, The Air Training Corp, Army Cadet Unit, Plunket, and Base Youth Café. The Air Training Corp and Army Cadets have given great support to the County Lions for many years at our annual ‘Toot for Tucker’. Names were taken for volunteers to help with the Red Puppy appeal and

MIDWEEK SPORT

P25

Kick-off looming By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

The dust has barely settled from the final cricket balls of the season being delivered, but competitive rugby steps into gear this weekend as competitions across Canterbury gets under way. Mid Canterbury’s five senior teams begin their quest to become Canterbury Country Combined champions for 2021 although centennial celebrators, Celtic, have been given a week to get over their big weekend with the bye to open the competition in Pool B.

Only Southern, who are also in Pool B, with Methven there as well, will play at home this weekend. They take on Waihora at the Hinds Domain in what should be a cracking match to kick-start the competition between two sides who frequently figure at the business end of the season. Methven have an away trip to begin their 125th celebration year against old foe, Prebbleton. In Pool A, Rakaia and Hampstead are flying the Mid Canterbury flag.
