By Heather Mackenzie [email protected] The Ashburton Menzshed is one of the most multi-faceted organisations in Mid Canter- bury. They fix stuff, make stuff from recycled stuff and sometimes fix each other along the way. These innovative Ashburton characters are responsible for upwards of 192 volunteer hours per week helping the community. As described on the official website “Men- zshed is a place for men of all ages to get together in one large community space to share their skills, have a laugh and work in practical tasks together or as a group.” Ashburton club secretary Ian Knight said the shed was also about men’s health and wellbeing. “Just look around here, everybody is talk- ing flat stick.” Guest speakers are another way the shed approaches men’s health. Of particular interest was the talk on pros- tate cancer. “They told us all the nitty-gritty and didn’t leave anything out.” Opening in 2014 the Menzshed was origi- nally on a Methven Highway site. But it soon become apparent the costs associated with the rural property were too high, so an alternative venue was looked for. After several chance conversations, nego- tiations with Ashburton District and a shed being moved through the streets of Ashbur- ton, the group moved into their new prem- ises on William Street and held their official opening in October 2017 with 80 guests at- Menzshed president Jim Armstrong (left) looks on as visitor James Brunton (centre) from The Chris Ruth Centre shows tending. carer Sapphire Stanley (right) his sanding skills.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Tuesday, Feb. 18, the 49th day of 2020. There are 317 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On February 18, 1970, the Chicago Seven defendants were found not guilty of conspiring to incite riots at the 1968 Democratic national convention; five were convicted of violating the Anti-Riot Act of 1968 (those convictions were later reversed). On this date: In 1546, Martin Luther, leader of the Protestant Reformation in Germany, died in Eisleben. In 1564, artist Michelangelo died in Rome. In 1885, Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in the US for the first time (after being published in Britain and Canada). In 1930, photographic evidence of Pluto (now designated a “dwarf planet”) was discovered by Clyde W. Tombaugh at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. In 1943, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese leader, addressed members of the Senate and then the House, becoming the first Chinese national to address both houses of the US Congress. In 1957, Walter Bolton, a 68-year-old Wanganui farmer, became the last person executed in New Zealand. In 1982, Queen of Crime Ngaio Marsh died.

■■OPINION Water – an essential necessity By Elizabeth Soal NZME ater is hitting front page headlines across the Wcountry. Too much, not enough. It has become a major focus for cities and rural areas alike – our coun- try’s water woes. Water shortages are creeping into towns and cities in many parts of the country, as hot and dry conditions put severe pressure on water availability across New Zealand – not only for farmers but for everyday urban folk too. Anxious conversations about New Zealand’s vulnerability to bush fires are also gaining mo- mentum. In contrast to growing fears about drought, we have the terrible flooding in Southland, affecting many communities, landscapes and habitats. Headlines circling about lack of water or too much water – these reveal how vulnerable we are to extreme weather and how this affects freshwater availability and management. Or indeed, New Zealand’s lack of a strategy for this. As parts of Aotearoa suffer under prolonged drought con- ditions, with shortages affecting rural and urban communities alike, other areas face significant property damage and loss be- water states: “Climate policy and regional level. our research, planning and in- rocket in many areas. cause of massive floods – and still, planning must take an integrated This is entirely appropriate, vestment.
