Some $37,000 surplus funds from the winding up of Wastebusters Trust will be donated to the Advance Ashburton Community Foundation. Wastebusters trustees will officially hand over the money tomorrow and the funds will then be used to support projects which promote waste mini- misation practices or protect and enhance the environment. Advance Ashburton executive officer Sandi Wood said the charitable foundation was delighted to receive the funds, which would be used to pay grants at regular intervals and would be a fitting reminder of Wastebusters and what it had achieved over its 25- year history.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Wednesday, July 31, the 212th day of 2019. There are 153 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 31, 1954, Pakistan’s K2 was conquered as two members of an Italian expedition, Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli, reached the summit. On this date: In 1715, a fleet of Spanish ships carrying gold, silver and jewellery sank during a hurricane off the east Florida coast; of some 2500 crew members, more than 1000 died. In 1777, during the Revolutionary War, the Marquis de Lafayette, a 19-year-old French nobleman, was made a major-general in the American Continental Army. In 1945, Pierre Laval, premier of the pro-Nazi Vichy government, surrendered to US authorities in Austria; he was turned over to France, which later tried and executed him. In 1961, IBM introduced its first Selectric typewriter with its distinctive “typeball”. In 1964, the American space probe Ranger 7 reached the moon, transmitting pictures back to Earth before impacting the lunar surface. In 1971, Apollo 15 crew members David Scott and James Irwin became the first astronauts to use a lunar rover on the surface of the moon. In 1991, President George H.W.

■■RUGBY LEAGUE Juniors get ready for their turn

By Erin Tasker [email protected] With the start of the Aoraki junior rugby league season just over three weeks away, the hunt for players is now well and truly on. The Ashburton Barbarians held a muster day last week, followed by a registration and training day on Monday this week, and they are now holding regular training sessions as they looked to field teams across the age groups – under-8s, under-10s and under-12s – in what is just their second season of delving into the world of junior league. Last season it was a roaring success, with good numbers and the Barbarians hosting a successful day of junior rugby league at their home base – Robilliard Park – and they are set to do it all again this season. The Aoraki junior competition will get under way in Timaru on August 24, and on August 31 players will again make their way to Ashburton. It is hoped the Ashburton junior club day will see around 250 to 300 kids taking to the park to play some league, with teams from around Canterbury likely to again take part. Aoraki’s junior competition will run through until September 28, and the Barbarians aren’t the only Mid Canterbury rugby league club hoping to play a part in it, with the Chertsey Oilers also putting the along with the Barbarians and two stage this weekend, and although Regan Broker from the Ashburton Barbarians seniors manage- call out for players for what will be teams from South Canterbury – the Barbarians will feature, their ment team, gives a few tips to the next generation of Barbarians their first ever junior teams. the Cowboys and the Outlaws. build up hasn’t been ideal. on Monday afternoon.

Imagine having to sit in the dark on a cold night, wrapped in a blanket for warmth because you couldn’t afford heating or power? Sadly, this is a reality for many Kiwi families living in poverty at the moment, as they struggle through a cold winter without even the basics to survive. They are often forced to choose between providing food, warmth and shelter for their family, knowing the profound impact that going without even one of these things will have on their health and well-being. Please support this ‘Lights On’ Winter Appeal and help keep families safe, warm and sheltered this winter.
