A further 22 sites in the district registered between 5.65 to 11.3mg/l while only three were below 1mg/L.
The 10-year trend analysis shows that nitrate concentrations continue to increase in groundwater across the region, Hanson said.
“Through those experiences I can empathise with families who are struggling and tell them there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”Kingsford explains the health system is the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. She wants to reach families in need while they’re still at the top.
“Life can be hard, parenting can be hard. It’s not all sunshine and roses. But you don’t have to do it alone,” she added.
“In other parts of the Hinds/Hekeao area, concentrations have increased considerably over the past 20 years as a result of changes in farming and irrigation practices.”
On Monday night, when the street lights stopped working, the whole of Mid Canterbury went dark.
According to Adamson, there was a fault with the automated control system that gives the signal for the streetlights to turn on.

“Nitrate concentrations in groundwater beneath the Canterbury Plains in the Ashburton zone continue to be high relative to many other parts of Canterbury,” he said.
“It also gives children a chance to express how they feel and to equip them with the tools they need when they’re not feeling okay.”“Children are often not heard in the way they want to be.”

Waka Kotahi’s response to the business case will determine the next steps for Council.

It was a typical Mid Canterbury morning, the first day of spring – but as thousands of locals went about their usual morning tasks eight years ago to day, none knew just what the day would bring. None that is, except oneAndindividual.asRussell Tully walked into the Ashburton Work and In come office that fateful morning he shifted the landscape of this town, and the district changed forever. Perhaps that gives a man who deserves no credit, too much. But the cold truth is he did, just for all the wrong reasons.
They say time is supposed to heal all wounds, but if you take a drive past the former site of the Work and Income office on the corner of Cass and Moore streets it’s hard not to be drawn back to the darkness of that morning, that afternoon

Our town forever enveloped in such a dark day in New Zealand’s history.Thecountry came knocking on our doorstep. They wanted in, they wanted our stories and while at the time it was nice to have so much support. it’s waned in the years that have followed, yet the scars, for so many are still raw.And so, it’s up to us to remem ber today in the best way we can. And that should be by remem bering the smiling faces of Peggy Noble and Sue Cleveland.
This newspaper is subject to the New Zealand Media Coun cil.
It’s a hard emotion to shake.
It’s okay to be angry, to feel sad or frustrated at how things eventuated. But it’s equally as important that the over-riding factor in all of the memories from that day is of those two outstand ing people.
Two loving locals who went to work on September 1, 2014, but sadly, didn’t come home.
His actions since that day eight years ago have certainly shown he’s a man of little remorse for whatAndunfolded.so,we,as Mid Cantabri ans, should forget about him. He should become an irrelevant part of our history. Significant always, but most certainly irrelevant.

Missed paper
Those feelings and memories will never escape us. Some, sadly, more than others, and in ways which many of us will never be made to imagine. But it’s impor tant we focus our memories and our recollections on the impor tant aspects of that day.

Using a posy of rose hips Barbara provid ed an interesting demonstration, initially sketching the details and then painting with watercolours. The end result in such a short period of time was impressive and showed Barbara’s skills honed by many years of painting. During the demonstra tion many interesting facts were offered regarding the artist’s preferred choice of paper, paint, artist brushes, pencil type, framing choices and her approaches to creating a painting in varying climatic conditions. She commented that there are certain plants she prefers to paint, others she would rather not. Her prefer ence is to paint with the plants in front of her. We are appreciative of her artistic talent and being so willing to share her skill with a group like ours.

Mid Canterbury, as the Hanan Shield winners, will have a target on their back from both South Canterbury and North Otago but there’s expectation that Selwyn would put forward a strong side too, creating a really intriguing battle of the neighbouring centres.
A big effort from Mid Canterbury Netball over the past month has ensured that this year’s senior representative season wasn’t just a flash in the pan campaign.

As it turned out Selwyn were thinking along the same lines as well, so after some contact with them it was decided we would press forward and try and get it off the ground.”Initially it was hoped that the tournament could be a twoday event if enough teams were interested, but with just four

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Don’t tell all you know or show all you have. A glimpse is more interesting than a reveal, which should be saved until the very last moment for the audience who has earned it. And for the rest – never.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You are used to obeying the driving force of your ambition. It benefits you to change it up. Give that ambition a rest and it will be there when you come back to it. Settle into a process. Let that be enough.
CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): There’s safety and security in feeling you belong and are more or less like the others in the group. However, the ways you are different will not set you apart; they will instead be cause for fascination.
LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): Your talent for persuasion and negotiation gets stronger every time you use it. You’re still learning what buttons to push. This changes with every deal, and your intuition on the matter gets keener with practice.
VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): The word “yes” – being just what you wanted to hear – will make you smile. This affirmation is cause for relief, relaxation and celebration. It’s also a signal. The real work begins.
