ESTHER ASHBY-COVENTRY

Every Monday in Timaru people in the palliative phase of their lives get together for a ‘‘Cottage Day’’, where they can take their minds off their illnesses and mix with others in the same situation. Held at the Therapeutic Centre at Hospice South Canterbury, vol- unteer practitioners offer attendees free Reiki and reflexology sessions. Sometimes a local beauty clinic also offers to do womens’ nails as well. The Cottage Days were estab- lished in 2013 to offer therapies for free to people who were suffering from a terminal illness. Hospice family support coun- sellor and Reiki practitioner Viv Macfarlane said Reiki was used widely for calming and healing.

Will potential planning changes afect the reliability of your groundwater consent?

Environment Canterbury is hosting two community meetings to share information about the efects of shallow groundwater takes on river ows (stream depletion) in the Opihi and Temuka catchments and Levels and Seadown Plains Area. In these catchments the method to calculate the rate of stream depletion could change from a 30 day pumping test to a 150 day test, as is it is in most parts of Canterbury. As part of the Healthy Catchments Project, the Orari – Temuka – Opihi – Pareora (OTOP) Zone Committee support Environment Canterbury exploring the likely impacts of this change, and will work with the community this year to identify some potential solutions. If you have a shallow groundwater take (approximately 40m or less), come along to nd out: • What stream depletion is and what the current rules mean • What the 150 day assessment is and what is assessed under this rule • What the likely implications will be if the 150 day pumping rule is applied Your questions will be welcome and there will be refreshments to follow. For more information contact Community Lead- Alexia Foster-Bohm at [email protected]
