He was in Ashburton on Friday talking to members of the Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust about the need for increased support for the rural sector when it came to mental health, particularly around suicide prevention. Ministry of Health suicide figures for the period from 2003 to 2015 showed that the urban rate had decreased by 7 per cent per 100,000 people while rural numbers had risen 17 per cent, Doocey said. Every number represented a person who Tania Scott had chosen to take their own life but when the number who had attempted 20,000, planned, By Jaime Pitt-MacKay 50,000 or thought about suicide, 120,000 were [email protected] added the numbers were staggering, he said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Monday, November 25, the 329th day of 2019. There are 36 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On November 25, 1986, the Iran-Contra affair erupted as President Ronald Reagan and Attorney General Edwin Meese revealed that profits from secret arms sales to Iran had been diverted to Nicaraguan rebels. On this date: In 1903, by winning the light- heavyweight championship, Timaru boxer Bob Fitzsimmons became the first man to have won world professional boxing titles in three weight divisions. In 1915, a new version of the Ku Klux Klan, targeting blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants, was founded by William Joseph Simmons. In 1947, movie studio executives meeting in New York agreed to blacklist the Hollywood Ten who’d been cited for contempt of Congress the day before. In 1963, the body of President John F. Kennedy was laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery; his widow, Jacqueline, lighted an “eternal flame” at the gravesite. In 1980, Sugar Ray Leonard regained the World Boxing Council welterweight championship when Roberto Duran abruptly quit in the eighth round at the Louisiana Superdome.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED Hundreds of people took the Longbeach Estate for the annual Longbeach Coastal Challenge yesterday. The annual fundraiser, which yesterday was being held for the 13th time since it’s inception has raised more than $230,000 for various groups and organisations. Featuring mountain biking, walking and running for all skill levels, the challenge is a highlight each year for many locals and those from further afield. Full results and a wrap of the event will appear in tomorrow’s edition of the Guardian.
