Ashburton Guardian, Thursday, November 3, 2022

Mohammed Khursheed Jahangir’s frustration is clear. His Asian restaurant, Miyabi Top in Town, has been shut for the past three weeks because all four chefs have left after they exploited a loophole in the Government’s skilled worker residency visa programme. And now his popular Ashburton business could collapse for good.

Hoops juggling radio, council

But longtime broadcaster hints at career change

He’s conscious of airing an opinion on something on air that may impact his eligibility to vote on it at the council table due to pre-determination or using his position to push an agenda.

tween radio gigs for a few years, and really enjoyed it, too.

“I see it as maybe an option to work in nicely with the council, and I might be able to have breakfast with family for the first time in many years.”

He’s a seasoned broadcaster, but knows he has to watch what he says more than ever.

That’s because Phill Hooper, the morning voice on the airwaves in Mid Canterbury for over 20 years, is now a councillor to boot.

Councillor Hooper, as well as being Hoops on Hokonui, is well aware of the risks of the dual roles.

“As far as the radio thing goes, it’s the same old same old, but with more care around council topics,” Hooper said. “I’ve built my show on being as local as I can and, of course, the council is a huge part of that.”

Hooper aims to be a voice on the Ashburton District Council, but not their voice on the airwaves.

His weekly on-air chats with Mayor Neil Brown and chief executive Hamish Riach will continue.

“As I’ve done in the past, I’ll ask the questions and let them do the answering.”

There will be some adjustment to be made, but he won’t be Hoops on air forever.

“The ball’s up in the air at the moment, and just currently weighing up my options with timing and lifestyle changes,” he said.

Hooper said he was sitting his real estate papers again as he considered a possible move away from breakfast radio.

“I’ve loved the job for so many years, but there comes a time when you don’t feel valued,’’ he said.

“I used to sell real estate in be-

As for settling into the role of councillor Hooper, he said it’s still early days, but he’s enjoying it even more than he thought he would.

“What has probably kept me fired up in radio for the past few years has been the ability to help people.

“I see the council as the next level and being part of some real change, and that’s exciting.”

Dorie’s heartfelt appreciation

“It is there for anyone in need, at any time,’’ Barns said.

And Barns knows how vital it is for the Dorie community to have its own defibrillator, which nationally have proven to be life savers.

Barns is right when she said every minute counts because in 2021, about 2000 New Zealanders suffered a cardiac arrest in the community, with only 11 per cent surviving.

It’s a tiny remote Mid Canterbury school, with a history dating back to 1888, and the donation of a defibrillator could be a community lifesaver.

That’s the view from Dorie School’s deputy principal Annette Barns after the generous donation to the community of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to increase out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates.

Dorie community members, Ted and Sue Rollinson, donated the defibrillator that will stay at the school, which is situated near the mouth of the Rakaia River and 35km from Ashburton Hospital.

Defibrillators send an electric shock into the heart to reset it and get it pumping at a natural rhythm, and they can be used on both adults and infants.

Getting one in Dorie dramatically improves accessibility if someone suffered a cardiac arrest and could not make it to hospital in time.

“The nearest defib to the Dorie community was either Rakaia or Pendarves,’’ Barns said.

“Every minute counts when it’s needed. Also, visitors frequent the beach nearby. It would be the closest for anyone experiencing a cardiac event.’’

And don’t worry about the Dorie defibrillator’s accessibility outside of school hours. It is mounted in a key protected lock box, available 24 hours a day.

“You can see it from the road,’’ Barns said.

“You call 111 and say where you are. They will give you the access code to the cabinet where the defibrillator is.’’

The defibrillator gift was also important for Dorie School pupil Jonty Watson, who underwent a heart operation that saved his life when he was only days old and will need further surgery in time.

“Jonty feels he is safer at school with the defib onsite,’’ Barns said.

Tuning in: Phill Hooper is set to juggle his new councillor gig and his radio broadcasting role.

Chef shortage forces closure

Cooking on your resume?

Do you have any specialist Asian chef skills?

An Ashburton restaurant owner is blaming a failed workers’ visa residency programme that’s forced him to close the business’s doors.

Miyabi Top in Town owner Mohammed Khursheed Jahangir has been forced to shut his Asian fusion restaurant for the past three weeks while he desperately searches for a full complement of chefs.

He had employed four speciality chefs from overseas, but they had all left within a few months of each other because of a visa residency loophole.

The Miyabi Top in Town Ashburton chefs had only been working at the restaurant for just under one year before they left.

“Once they got their residency, they all went elsewhere,” said Jahangir, who said the one-off residency offer by the Government had actually made the staffing situation worse.

The programme was designed to encourage skilled chefs to come to New Zealand by providing ease of entry and residency.

But Jahangir said once the chefs had gained residency, which took a few months to be approved, they then went elsewhere in the country and one overseas for further opportunities.

A similar programme, dubbed vindaloo visas, was also adopted in Britain to attract skilled Asian chefs into the country to keep curry houses and the likes open.

Jahangir has since advertised overseas and had some responses, but now he’s stuck in the long line for visa approval as a worker shortage in many industries

post-Covid really bites, but especially hospitality.

Other Ashburton businesses have also had to close due or reduce hours because of staff shortages, with the CBD restaurant and bar Fine Lion closing one day every few weeks to give stretched staff a break.

Owner Matt Fine put his staff shortage, and lack of applicants for jobs, down to a lack of employment security post Covid.

Jahangir’s situation seems even more dire, which is why he desperately wants visa changes made to ensure those who are bought in from overseas have to

stay at their first employer for a minimum amount of time. While he searches for chefs, Jahangir will try and keep the business operational as long as possible by using the Christchurch sister restaurant staff to help keep the Ashburton Miyabi Top in Town afloat.

Miyabi Top in Town Ashburton is looking for Japanese and Chinese chefs, as well as some front-of-house staff.

He hopes the Ashburton restaurant will be open again for Christmas as he waits for job checks to be completed by Immigration New Zealand.

But the longer the delay, the more he is scared for the business’ future.

“If I declare bankruptcy, how do I show my face in front of my family?,” he said.

Jahangir has been forced to sell some of his property back in India just to help keep the business going, but he wonders every day whether it is worth it.

“I don’t know how long I can keep it afloat not being open.”

The restaurant has only been open for a year, suffering closures and reduced business from Covid-19 lockdowns. It had good turnover during the summer months, something Jahangir hopes can be repeated in the next few months.

“If we can open again for Christmas, that would be good. We are usually quite busy around then.”

Ready for policing challenge

Janine Bowden says it will be a challenge’ when she steps into the Ashburton senior sergeant policing role.

Bowden, who has spent the past 21 years policing in Mid Canterbury, and initially in the criminal investigation branch (CIB), will deputise for Leigh Jenkins from next week.

“

I have relieved in the past, so it is relatively familiar to me. But three months is still a long time, especially through the busy holiday season.

Jenkins, Mid Canterbury’s top cop, will head to Timaru where he will be the Aoraki region’s acting detective senior sergeant for the next three months.

Jenkins’ move south opens up an opportunity for Bowden.

“I have relieved in the past, so it is relatively familiar to me,’’ she said.

“But three months is still a long

time, especially through the busy holiday season.

“It will be a challenge. Policing is always evolving and processes and systems (are always) changing so there’s a lot to learn, and I look forward to that.’’

Bowden is certainly no stranger to Mid Canterbury, having grown

up here and been recruited into the force after finishing study at Canterbury University.

In all, she’s had 30 years’ police service and spent the first nine in Auckland, working both in uniform and in the CIB, where she qualified as a detective.

For the past eight years, she’s

been working back in uniform after being promoted to sergeant. And she’s enjoyed the variety and challenges that rural policing offers.

“No two days are the same,’’ she said.

“You never really know what you’re going to be doing from

Diesel fuel thefts still an issue

Diesel thefts continue to be an issue, with another four reported across the district in the past week.

With the current service station prices, diesel is a sought-after commodity. The recent offending suggests that is the case, with diesel being stolen in rural areas from farm machinery, such as irrigators and storage tanks.

Deterrents such as CCTV cameras and CCTV signage are helpful.

If possible, move any storage tanks or trailers close to high trafficked areas.

Another consideration is to limit the amount of diesel stored in isolated tanks.

I accept it is an inconvenience to refuel, but it will limit the losses should your property be targeted.

Please remain vigilant and note any suspicious activity, or registration plates of vehicles in the area, or around the irrigators and other diesel tanks.

She also gave the big thumbs up to the enthusiasm and strength of emerging new staff and encourages any locals to consider joining the police as a career option.

“Give it a go, as it’s a really rewarding career.”

Flood warning

A flood warning has been issued for Canterbury’s alpine fed rivers as intense rain and winds batter the West Coast.

Half a metre of rain was predicted to fall in little more than 24 hours on the West Coast in what MetService forecasters have said is a “major weather system”.

The heavy rainfall along the Southern Alps overnight is expected to continue this morning and high flows are expected in the Ashburton/Hakatere and Rakaia rivers today.

Environment Canterbury issued a warning yesterday for property owners adjacent to the rivers to prepare in case of any breakouts.

Recreational users and contractors in or near the riverbeds were also advised to monitor their own situation and remain wary of rising water levels.

Longtime Ashburton policewoman, Janine Bowden, is ready to take on the senior sergeant’s role for the next three months.

What a load of kangaroo balls

WEIRD GIFTS

When Ashburton’s Libby Fenwick fondled the kangaroo testicles, she knew her mother would en joy it just as much.

“She just finds the grossest things in life a bit funny,’’ Fen wick said, unconsciously strok ing the kangaroo scrotum, with attached keyring.

Fenwick, 23, knew the scrotum keyring, made from real kanga roo, was the perfect present for the woman who had everything. That’s why she immediately forked out some cash for that uniquely Australian gift when she was in Brisbane recently.

“I asked (in the shop) what is the most unusual gift you could get someone,’’ she said.

“They went: ‘oh, the kangaroo testicles are probably a good one to get’.

“I thought they were great.’’

Mum thinks so, too, with the rooballs now taking pride of place by her keyboard.

If you’re lucky, she’ll let you touch the ball sack, which was harvested and processed in ac cordance with Australian Na tional Parks and Wildlife Service

rules and regulations, according to the sticker on the back of the keychain. We’re also assured that no kangaroo was castrated for the creation of the scrotum keychain.

Kangaroo scrotums used in gift products come from roos that were culled humanely for meat

production and population con trol, according to strict Australian wildlife regulations.

“But I thought they would be bigger,’’ Fenwick said of her scrotum pressie, which did seem rather small given that large male kangaroos can be 2m tall and

weigh over 100kg.

“Kangaroos are massive. They are so jacked, but there must be lots of different types.’’

Big or small, getting kangaroo balls through customs was no easy feat. Well, Brisbane border control officials were happy with

She rightly declared her ani mal skin gift, with three officers questioning her before she was allowed to depart – kangaroo tes ties in her hot little hand.

“They (customs’ officials) were like, ‘what is going on? You have testicles in your bag’.

“It was really funny.’’

The only problem now for Fen wick is how does she top that gift the next time she is visiting across the ditch.

“Well, they have a kangaroo paw as a back scratcher. They (gift shop workers) said that goes well.

“But it’s like a full arm of a kan garoo. I was like: ‘I think that’s just a bit much’.’’

Gorgeous gardens on display

Mayfield Playcentre president and parent Sally Carr said she was really happy to see the tour back on the calendar.

“This event is our major fund raiser for the playcentre, with money raised going towards cov ering our running costs,” Carr said.

It was important to support the playcentre, which has been open since the early 1960s and had 30 children enrolled from 20 families, she said.

A rural playcentre is relying on a good turnout for an upcoming garden tour to help raise critical funds.

The Homegrown Garden Tour, hosted by Mayfield Playcentre, re turns on Saturday after Covid-19 restrictions forced the cancella tion of the two-yearly event.

The tour would include four lo cal gardens around the Mayfield area, with a market at one of the stops offering a variety of stalls, as well as food and drink.

“We can’t thank the owners of the gardens enough. We couldn’t have done it without them,” Carr said.

“While the playcentre is small, it provides a good place for peo ple in the community to connect, especially given sometimes rural families are isolated.”

They were hoping to sell 1000 tickets and raise about $25,000 for the playcentre.

“If we could get $25,000 it would be amazing and really help us sup port the playcentre and its fami lies.”

COUNCIL BRIEF

New Three Waters plan to consider

Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown says he and his councillors are keen for a discussion about how a regional water organisation could work for the district, as part of an alternate three waters reform proposed by the mayors of Auckland and Christchurch.

“The last council didn’t support the Three Waters reform and at the next council meeting I’ll be asking the new council their view, as I haven’t done this formally yet.

“We previously opposed Government’s reform of drinking water, stormwater and wastewater services as it stands at the moment, and we saw that it had divided local government around the country.

“This move by two of the mayors of the largest cities in New Zealand opposing those Three Waters reforms will hopefully get the appropriate attention of the Government.

“We are definitely up for a discussion on how a regional model could work for us and allow us to retain local ownership, and local control and input.”

The Government wants to move drinking water, stormwater and wastewater assets away from councils and instead manage them via four large water entities. Ashburton would be part of a largely South Island entity.

The city mayors’ proposal, released this week, would maintain crucial aspects of Government’s existing plan, including the new water regulator Taumata Arowai, while maintaining local ownership, control and accountability, and allowing for meaningful roles for mana whenua.

Regional Water Organisations (RWOs), which would be unable to be sold outside local authority ownership, would have access to investment capital through a new Water Infrastructure Fund administered by central government’s own Crown Infrastructure Partners.

Mayor Neil Brown said that over the years the Ashburton council had maintained

Growing our district with a strong, diverse workforce

I’ve been enjoying hearing feedback from the annual Ashburton A&P Show, held without covid restrictions last weekend for the first time in several years.

Council was represented in a number of marquees – our own site, plus staff had input into the Civil Defence site and the displays of different cultures in the show president’s marquee.

Our Welcoming Communities programme is an important part of our workstream; newcomers who feel welcome are able to fully participate in the economic, civic and social life of the community.

Building connections between locals and newcomers means everyone feels included and knows they belong.

The presidential marquee at the show featured displays from some of the many cultures now present in the Ashburton District, from Chile, Equador and Fiji, to the Philippines and Afghanistan.

The Filipino community has many members particularly working in our district’s agricultural sector, and their skills, experience and energy are hugely valued, as are all the newcomers who choose to make their home here.

As a refugee resettlement centre, Ashburton also welcomes families from Afghanistan and as their confidence grows, they too will join our workforce and community groups.

Younger visitors to the Council marquee at the show spent a lot of time building and rebuilding Lego robots, while others had a go on the crosscountry ski exercise machine brought along by staff from the EA Networks Centre. Our newly-elected councillors were out and about meeting people too.

Our Economic Development team runs these outings for Council and was pleased at the number of visitors who also took the time to take part in a survey to gather information about what they liked about living in Mid Canterbury and what could be improved; this sort of unfiltered data is

and built up three waters assets, which had a combined value of over $200 million.

“We believe we are in a good position for the future. Other councils may not be in the same position, but we all agree a consensus is needed to move forward in the three waters space.”

Ashburton is also one of the 30 member councils of Communities 4 Local Democracy, which is against the reforms in their current form.

Wastewater project ahead of schedule

Farm Road, between Middle Road and Racecourse Road, is closed until Sunday 13 November as contractors move early into the next stage of the North West Ashburton wastewater project.

Council Infrastructure Services Group Manager Neil McCann said contractors TruLine Civil were at least four weeks ahead of schedule, thanks to good weather and an extra work team.

“We will have wrapped up work on Carters Road by 10 November, which is well ahead of schedule, and will be working on Farm Road until 21 December.

“At this rate, contractors will be returning to work on Allens Road and the new pump station at the start of March and the whole project should be finished by the start of April. We’re really pleased with progress and this ultimately means less disruption for residents who live in the area.”

Farm Road residents who live on the section to be temporarily closed will continue to have access to their properties and be notified by the contractor of any restrictions. A detour will be available for public traffic.

Mr McCann said the contractors would move their machines to Farm Road over the next few days.

“We really appreciate everyone’s patience while the project is under way. We know it can be disruptive at times and we are continuously co-ordinating with all affected residents as the work moves around its different stages.”

always valuable.

Not far from the Council marquee, in the Safety Village, was the Civil Defence site, manned by Council staff.

The message to be prepared cannot be said too often and the display included a video showing what would likely happen in the event of a major earthquake in the Southern Alps. If you haven’t organised a grab bag (a bag with essentials to keep you alive for several days), then now’s the time to do so.

Our Civil Defence staff are often in the community speaking to clubs or groups, or going to shows, raising awareness of emergency preparedness and the need to get ready. It’s something we must plan for, while at the same time hoping we never have to use.

The next big happy event we will be attending is the annual evening to acknowledge apprentices who passed their trade exams, and they represent another group of workers we can all take pride in.

Traffic management will also be in place for the Allens Road stage between Carters Road and Middle Road, from 2 March 2023.

Community board gets down to business

More than 2000 native plants were put into the ground at the Methven Cemetery recently, as part of work by Council and the Methven Lions to beautify the area.

Several Sequoiadendron giganteum (Wellingtonia) trees were also planted along the eastern boundary. The cemetery has doubled in size as part of planned development, following big winds in 2021 that brought down trees on the boundary and sparked a renovation of the area.

Methven Community Board members were given an update of the work at their first meeting this week. But before getting down to business, the board elected Kelvin Holmes as chair, Richie Owen as deputy, and nominated Megan Fitzgerald to be its representative on the Mt Hutt Memorial Hall Board and Allan Lock to the Methven Reserve Board.

Mr Holmes said he was aiming for a good and productive three-year term.

As part of an Open Spaces report early in the agenda, the board was told that the cemetery looked a lot different today than 12 months ago after the wind event that decimated the eastern treeline.

New lawns had come through winter well and been rolled, and the 2000 natives were planted on the eastern boundary in a bund created from leftover rubble from the tree extraction. The Methven walkway has been reinstated alongside this edge of the cemetery.

Deputy mayor Liz McMillan said the big planting day had been a success and the area was looking good. A seat donated by a past resident had also been repositioned at the cemetery.

Council staff have suggested another tree planting day next winter, using the activity to promote Arbour Day.

The community board also dealt with three funding requests, rejecting one and partially granting two others; the board

has an annual $25,000 discretionary fund that it administers.

The board granted $1178.50 to Methven Touch Rugby for bibs, balls, cones and other equipment to help grow the game in the junior space. It also granted $2000 to the Methven Lions, who have taken over the maintenance of the bike skills park.

A request for $7540 from Mt Hutt College to support a team going to the touch nations in Rotorua was declined, as it did not meet the criteria for the funding. The board will support their application to other funders, like the New Zealand Community Trust.

In infrastructure updates, the board was told that ACL was connecting the first of two new reservoirs to the town’s drinking water scheme; a second new tank should be operational by February next year.

Negotiations are under way with contractors to carry out the remainder of the drinking water upgrade work, which includes a new membrane treatment plant and new pipelines to connect the Methven Springfield scheme.

Renewal of a sewer main between McDonald Street and Dolma Street,

PUBLIC NOTICES

through Mt Hutt College, is expected to be completed in the next week or so.

Some minor works are also being carried out at the town’s wastewater treatment plant, including adding a flowmeter, dissolved oxygen monitoring and renovation of the distribution channels in the infiltration basins. The changes will allow better monitoring of the site’s performance.

The board asked for clarification on the positioning of the planned gravel path alongside State Highway 77 to Opuke hot pools, wanting to know exactly where on the roadside it would be formed.

Within the community board’s boundary, 60 building consents were issued from January to September, compared to 41 in 2021; the value of the work for the year to date was $25,422,697 (compared to $8,778,890 in 2021). The busiest month was March, when 16 consents were issued.

The community board has retained its sixweek meeting cycle and will meet next on Monday 12 December, at 10.30am. The first meeting of the new year will be Monday 30 January.

Helping hand at Christmas

People attending the Christmas movie that is part of Council's Nights of Lights festival next month will be encouraged to bring an item for Ashburton's community foodbank.

Organisers are currently finalising screening rights for the movie on Saturday 17 December and it will be announced soon. People attending the movie will be able to bring along a food item that will be donated to the foodbank, which helps struggling households.

Nights of Lights gets under way on Friday 2 December, when the big Christmas tree on the East Street green will be lit up; the night in the CBD also includes entertainment. Buskers have been organised to spread some Christmas cheer on Friday 23 December and Saturday 24 December, as last-minute shoppers do the rounds.

When your money isn’t ‘clean’ enough to help those in dire need

Astory caught my attention yesterday and it baffled my mind for most of the day.

Unsurprisingly, it was a story involving horse racing – but before you go and sigh about Markham writing another few words about the racing industry, I’ll assure you this one isn’t the traditional kind.

The leader of one of New Zealand’s leading thoroughbred racing studs, Waikato Stud’s Mark Chittick approached Starship Foundation late last month as he wished to donate a considerable sum of money to the organisation if the stud’s horse, I Wish I Win was to be successful in an upcoming race in Sydney known as the Gold en Eagle.

The cool thing about the Golden Eagle is that connections of

horses in the race must nominate a charity to which a percentage of the winning stake would be paid.

This year that equated to around $570,000.

As it turned out, I Wish I Win didn’t have to wish, because it did win, and what should have been a healthy boost to the coffers of Starship Hospital could have played out.

But they turned down the offer before the race was even run. Their reason? They didn’t want

to take money associated with racing or gambling.

Now, I get we live in a PC world these days where things are noth ing like they used to be.

Organisations like the Lotteries Commission and Sky City Auckland are regular contributors to charities such as Starship, but a successful horse breeding oper ation who wants to give something back to a much-publicised struggling sector of our country is declined based on some, what I’ll call ill-advised, morals?

“Careful consideration is always given to Starship’s involvement in events and other initiatives where there is an intention to support it and its work. In this instance, we were unable to be the nominated charity due to these consider

ations,” a Starship Foundation representative said.

Our health sector is currently facing some serious problems, and the pleas are coming thick and fast from organisations such as Starship to help ensure that Kiwi children are able to access the best healthcare possible.

And here’s a sizeable donation that could have made a real dif ference being rejected.

It just doesn’t make sense.

Gambling is a problem here in New Zealand, there’s no hiding from that fact – but for as long as two flies have crawled up a wall there’s been a desire among many to have a wager.

It’s a double-edged sword, because so many organisations and sectors benefit directly

through the profits of money spent through the TAB or on pok ie machines, and in some cases it’s those contributions that keep them going.

This situation didn’t directly involve the gambling aspect. It wasn’t money earned through a bet down at the pub, but instead a generous donation scheme put in place by Australian racing, in which many of their major races see a sizeable amount of money won donated to charity.

Sadly though, in this case, an organisation which could have really benefited from more than half a million dollars elected to take a moral high ground instead and thus there’s a potential impact on the young people the foundation was created to help.

Allenton Bowling Club Report

It has been a very busy start to our Sum mer Season, with Championship games played regularly and some interesting results. We have teams playing in the Centre competitions mid-week and Saturdays. Men, women and Juniors all enjoying these competitions with very good results.

Some of the highlights so far are Gem ma and Nic Andrew getting to the quar ter-finals of the Centre Open mixed Pairs as both are second year bowlers. Jock O’Connor’s team playing at the un der 5s in Timaru, well done guys.

The ladies from the club winning the prestigious South Island Chartered Club Tournament. Forty-two teams from Stoke to Invercargill descended on Ash burton with all four local greens in use during the week. The breeze was often chilly, but the camaraderie was great, with Wednesday nights meal and music a time to catch with old friends. Living next door to Alice will never be the same again.

The teams were graded into four sec tions, on fourth day giving everyone a chance to win a section, so it was im pressive that the overall winners only lost one game in ten.

Huge Congratulations to Rosemary Ben nett, Sandra Holdom, Shirley Doig and Leonie Spargo all representing the Local MSA Chartered Club. Well done Ladies the cup is a beautie.!!

President Jeanette welcomed members, 2nd Vice District Governor Dereck War dell and his wife, four members from Hinds Lions Club and two new members. Past President Sue lit candles in remem brance of Lion Betty Watson who passed away recently and members stood for a minutes silence in remembrance. Lion Betty was a charter member of our club in 1987 and had been President, Secre tary, Treasurer, Bulletin editor and Club Historian during that time and had also held several Lion’s Cabinet positions over many years. In recognition of her dedication to Lions, Lion Betty had been awarded the Melvin Jones Award. Club members will remember Betty with gratitude, love and respect.

2VDG Dereck gave a brief outline of his involvement in Lions and on behalf of DG Jules, conveyed Jules goal of a growth target of at least one new member per club during the year, and acknowledged the value and importance of the ser vice activities of a Lions Club. He then inducted two new members, sponsored by Lion Annette.

Ashburton Golf Club

It was a beautiful day last Saturday and a good crowd came along to play in the stroke and putting round that Captain Tom had set up. It was also the last qual ifying round to get yourself into the RMF Silva cup finals series.

Stewey Dunlop took the chocolates with a solid nett 68 just pipping Seb McMil lan, Murray Wackrow and John Power on countback. These boys were all one shot clear of Jason Overend and one more shot back on net 70 were Guildford and Lefty. Top score for the putting was 27 putts and this was shared by Mitch Lye and Dylan Stoddart. Well done boys.

Captain Tom was in a generous mood and offered 5 bonus RMF Silva points to any player that managed to beat his score. All I will say is that he is lucky he didn’t offer $5 each for those who beat him or there would have been a run on the banks. Every man, lady and their dog managed to beat him, even guests who had just popped down for a hit on the range beat him. There was a stray heifer that had wandered on the course from the adjacent paddock who fancied her chances. Anyway, when the dust had settled we finished up with our top 30 qualifiers, and this Saturday we will only be looking at these scores for the RMF Silva Cup. 53 points got you in the top 30. Dave Morrison is the tail gunner and I am sure he will be looking to make a big move.

This Saturday is a combined pairs sta bleford but for cup points we will be looking at the individual scores. The top score out of the top 30 players will get 12 points second best score gets 9, third gets 8 and so on.

After the scores are added to the league table a “cut” is made again with only the top 20 going into the final. At present 59 points is 20th place so the boys below that need good rounds this Saturday.

A full set of rules is on the website, it may look that the top players are run ning away with it, but after next week the points mean nothing and anyone in the top 20 will have a decent chance of picking up a free club sub for next year thanks to our great friends at RMF Sil va. We will talk more on the finals series next week.

Catch you around the course. Good golf ing.

Ashburton Woodworkers

Hinds Women’s Institute

Think of October and we think of the Ashburton A&P Show, Labour Weekend, our Hinds WI meeting and more latterly Halloween.

President Valmai welcomed the mem bers to the social gathering and led the Ode and Aspirations. Then followed the minutes and other business notices and commitments. Write in your Diary for 2023 – Meals on Wheels in January, Founder’s Day at the Movies in Febru ary, the Mid-Canterbury Federation’s AGM in March and the National Federa tion’s AGM in Timaru in May. Next year is quickly filling up!

An enjoyable social afternoon involved members reciting a rhyme or favourite joke, showing something – perhaps a treasured item – and sharing its histo ry and lots of talk and laughter. Jenny shared her progress with the Show Bay development and Valmai her progress and vision with the Show Tray. Both entries involve a lot of work and head aches but well done and thanks from the group.

Our hostesses, Ruth and Lorraine, served a welcome cup of tea and deli ciously tempting food to conclude an enjoyable afternoon.

Next month we will make a Christmas decoration under the guidance of Val Goodridge –  and that is something to look forward to too.

Tinwald Garden Club

On a cold drizzly day, Thursday October 27, 11 members of the Tinwald Garden Club visited Violinos. Ruth Hall is known for her creative ability for making all her home, sheds, and garden into a musical wonderland.

In her old woolshed which part of it is converted to hold great antique piec es of furniture: a gaming table, music stand, ornate card table and sewing table all made in 1800s to early 1900s of beautiful rosewood. Then we were shown by Ruth harmonicas, gramo phones, musical jugs, and many other ornaments pertaining to music. Her passion extended to organs and pianos especially a Pianola which she informed us the Beatles had a play on in 1964. Un fortunately, some of these instruments had been damaged with water from the 2021 flood. It took many hours of painful work to restore these. Ruth turned on this Pianola and it was pleasing to hear. After a nice lunch from Age Concern, supplied by Trish Small, we were privi leged to listen to a concert by Ruth on the violin and her friend on the cello for half an hour of wonderful music enjoyed by us all. Her room for her concerts is played in a lovely chapel and also there is a pipe organ that belonged to her mother and was given pride of place. Much time was taken to assemble this organ for peak performance.

Ruth then showed us around her garden, including the many games to keep peo ple and children occupied and busy. We loved the musical themes in the garden however the weather started to deteri orate, our heads were also full of all her knowledge and the cold air sent us away happy. It was a shame that more mem ber missed this very interesting day.

The members are invited to a visit to a Peony Garden on Tuesday November 8.

Wakanui Women’s Institute

Members have offered to sell raffle tick ets for the Federation in October and November. Meals on Wheels duty in January 2023. A sub committee to start planning Wakanui WI. 90th celebrations will meet at Isabell’s home. The meeting was closed.

Audeau does best on Eiffelton roads

The Tinwald Cycling Club took to the roads of Eiffelton on Sunday to contest the LL Kirwan and Sons Ltd, AshburtonOnline graded scratch event around the Black bridge block.

With the National Inter Provin cial golf tournaments just around the corner, Aorangi golfers took to the greens on the weekend to compete in the South Island In ter Provincial events.

The men’s side trekked over the river to Hororata to take on four other sides from around the mainland, while the wom en ventured south to Otago, to play at the Taeiri Lakes course in Dunedin.

A tough weekend on the greens saw both sides finish fourth in their respective com petitions, but quality golf still unfolded from the clubs of the local players as they ready them selves for bigger targets next month.

The women had a tough weekend, losing all three of their

The side had to call in a late in jury replacement for local player Sharon Bradford, with Mary-Lou Watson jumping in the car to make the quick dash down the South Island to join the side.

The men looked to be right on song during their two-day event, starting with a comprehensive win over Tasman, but just went down narrowly to eventual champions Canterbury in the other fixture for the opening day.

Those results had them right in the hunt heading into the second day of the event on the beautiful Hororata Golf Course, but it wasn’t to be as they dipped out to both Otago and South land – with a number of really close individual matches going right down to the wire.

South Canterbury’s Marcus Tessier had a standout week end for the South Island side, winning all four of his matches,

The National Inter Provincials this year will be held in Tauran ga, starting early next month.

Meanwhile, the Aorangi Mas ters side are currently in Motue ka competing in the Fryberg Masters event.

An up and down start to the week has left them off the pace early, but a strong afternoon yes terday might have been enough to get them right back into con tention.

The side started their tourna ment against Taranaki on Mon day morning, losing 2-3 but bounced back to beat Hawkes Bay later on in the day.

They enjoyed a bye on Tues day morning before taking on Bay Of Plenty, who proved a little too strong for them, winning 4-1 in the afternoon.

The side was set to play both Tasman and then Manawatu Wanganui yesterday afternoon.

A and B grade competed over 57km, whilst C and D grade bat tled it out over 38km.

Thomas Audeau had the final say in A grade, getting up in a tight finish to beat second place getter Larry Neal. Audeau rode the dis tance in 86.55.

Cole Harris produced a great fresh-up ride to take third place, with Mitch Brookland in fourth.

B grade was also decided on the line with Shane Brookland taking the winner’s spoils in a photo fin ish with Marcel Smithers.

Ben Ward battled bravely to se cure third place with Ross Tem pleton leading the chasing bunch home to secure fourth place.

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): You’re open to seeing yourself how others see you. Their opinions aren’t necessarily more accurate, but the blend of several views creates the kind of clear picture that makes obvious your next success move.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): One impediment to learning is thinking you should know something already. Better to admit what you don’t know and gather experience than to unnecessarily stumble around in the dark.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Certainty causes you to take great risks and use powerful tactics to further the mission. But if there’s even a shadow of a doubt, as there will be today, watch and wait for more illumination on the matter.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): You’ll step into a role you haven’t played before – a natural fit. It’s new territory and yet oddly familiar, which allows for ease and grace in these early stages.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Brainstorm new friendship rules. With good social boundaries, you can avoid having another one of those conversations in which people feel better after sharing their feelings with you, but you feel worse.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The resolve has always been in you; it just hasn’t been brought out quite this powerfully before. Now exciting projects, ideas and plans give you a surge of transformational courage.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Maybe it seems like you’re acting out of character, but really, it’s just that certain people bring out rarely seen sides of you. The unpredictability of this fascinates even you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): You don’t have to say or do anything for people to feel your energy. You take care of your own heart, happiness and focus. You send out the sweet, attractive energy, and people respond in kind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll be inspired by the people you meet and the stories you hear. You may not realise the good you do for others just by giving your supportive attention and listening well.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): As gardeners know well, many seeds look alike. It’s early, and the ideas are folded in on themselves – pure, featureless potential. Put them in dirt to see what happens. You can always try again.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Conforming to certain culture norms is sometimes necessary to survive, fit in and influence others. But conforming all the time is soul-crushing. You feel a rebellion coming on.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): The bear who wants honey is willing to risk bee stings. You’re much cleverer, though, and will stand by watching until you figure out how honey can be had without a chance of getting stung.
