ERIN TASKER

Lee Barraclough hasn’t jumped out of a plane for four months now, and he admits it’s killing him. Skydiving is how he makes a living but it’s also his sport, and right now he should be training hard ahead of a trip to Europe to compete alongside the world’s best sport skydivers. But a shoulder operation on January 25 to fix an injury he picked up com- peting in Europe last year still has the Ashburton man grounded. Instead of adding to his 8000 jumps and fine tuning his tech- nique, the Skydiving Kiwis foun- der is hitting the gym hard and hoping his body will be ready for the challenges ahead.

The Bowranda patio roof is constructed of powder coated aluminium and stainless steel xings to ensure it will withstand coastal conditions. Eliminates 99% of UV whilst maintaining ambient light. This is important as it provides protection from the sun without darkening the area, including the adjacent interior.

In Brief

STATS NZ VISIT The Ashburton District is currently hosting Statistics New Zealand staff as they prepare information for the 2018 Census. They’re checking 1.8 million addresses across the country to ensure their records are on track for the census, and residents in the Ashburton District are being advised not to be alarmed if they see staff members in their neighbourhood. Council community relations manager Vincie Billante said the staff would be wearing Statistics NZ uniforms and carrying identification.

CAR PARK CLOSURE The Ashburton District Council has closed the car park at the end of Hakatere Drive at the Hakatere Huts due to erosion. Drivers will no longer be able to park in the car park as a precaution, after coastal erosion occurred on the cliff edge 10 days ago. ’’Signage has been installed in the area advising the community to not park in the area, and we will also put a fence up to restrict vehicle access,’’ council roading manager Brian Fauth said. ’’The remainder of Hakatere Drive will remain open, and the community will still be able to visit the area, however we encourage people to be cautious and to not get too close Mi-Sex perform at the inaugural Selwyn Sounds festival in Lincoln earlier this year.

HELENA O'NEILL

A Lincoln High School student is one of six young people selected by the Royal Society Te Apa¯rangi to attend the Harry Messel International Science School in Sydney next month. Oliver Gwatkin, 18, will head to Sydney for the program on July 2. The International Science School (ISS2017) is a biennial event that celebrates and honours excellence in young people dis- playing a passion and aptitude for science, and aims to encourage students to pursue careers in science. It’s a two-week residential science camp which includes lectures by renowned scientists, hands- on scientific workshops and an active social program. ‘‘I was pretty shocked and excited when I found out,’’ the teenager from Springston said. The Royal Society Te Apa¯rangi covers ISS expenses and 70 per cent of travel costs. ‘‘The basic structure of the ISS is a lecture in the morning, followed by an experiment or tour, and then another lecture in the afternoon. Then there’s a different social event each evening.’’ Oliver is interested in astronomy, chemistry, and electronics. The year 13 student studies phys- ics, statistics, digital technology, English, and is taking a University of Canterbury first year maths paper. He hopes to study electrical engineering and science at the University of Canterbury next year. Oliver is the sole South Island student chosen, with the other five coming from Wellington Col- lege, Onslow College (Wellington), Trident High School (Whakatane), Kaipara College, and West- SPECIAL ern Springs College (West Auckland).
