As much as she would have liked to have been at the protests, she knows that in the long-term her thesis is contributing to the cause, and that is turning around a one-way track to environmen- tal disaster. “The trajectory we are on at the moment will take us to civilisa- tion collapse, and that’s likely to be pretty ugly – famine and war and shortages of everything that we need,” she said.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Tuesday, October 8, the 281st day of 2019. There are 84 days left in the year.
Today’s highlight in history: On Oct. 8, 1998, the House triggered an open-ended impeachment inquiry against President Bill Clinton in a momentous 258-176 vote; 31 Democrats joined majority Republicans in opening the way for nationally televised impeachment hearings. On this date: In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, and in several communities in Michigan. In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. In 1941, Stan Graham began his killing spree on the West Coast. A dairy farmer, Graham killed seven people in Kōwhitirangi on the South Island’s West Coast. In 1982, all labour organisations in Poland, including Solidarity, were banned. In 1985, the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro killed American passenger Leon Klinghoffer, who was in a wheelchair, and threw his body overboard. In 1997, scientists reported the Mars Pathfinder had yielded what could be the strongest evidence responsible for decades of sexual people. rights activist Rev.

14 Ashburton Guardian Tuesday, October 8, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Models that feel like home By Tanya Zoe Robinson Ashburton Museum shburton Museum’s latest exhibition is one that will Ano doubt be close to the hearts of many locals. It’s titled Ashburton: Feels Like Home and includes all kinds of quirky and iconic items and images that are a reminder of why this place is special to so many people. Among the exhibition are models of both the clock tower and an imagined city centre of the future. Both these models are interesting in their own right. The model of the clock tower is a remarkably good rendition, handmade by John Corbitt in 2003. Being a scale model, it gives a really good sense of the size, structure and detail of this distinctive architectural feature located in the centre of Ashbur- ton. Also featured in the exhibition is original film footage of the clock tower under construction, showing a scaffold surround and how sections were lifted into place. Looking rather risky to today’s viewers, is seeing men working on the construction scrambling up and around the scaffolding, with apparently little or no fall Above – A model that shows Ashburton in the year 2000 as protection. imagined by the Ashburton Borough Council planning staff If you can’t make it into the in 1964. museum to see the real thing, a Left – One of a set of 25 photos of the clock tower taken at video has also been posted to the the time of the county centenary.

The real clock and tower The real clock face dates back to 1904, when it was housed in the tower of the old Ashburton Post Office, erected in 1901. Due to new earthquake regula- tions, during the mid-20th cen- tury the old tower was removed and the clock put into storage, until being restored in the 1970s by the Ashburton Lions Club. Ralph Crum was instrumental to this project, with members as- sisting at Crum’s home workshop every Monday night for a year. The museum holds a record of the many hours they logged on this project. The timing of the restoration worked well, as the newly- restored clock became a centre- piece for the county centennial in 1976.

■■CROQUET A top day for some doubles
Croquet players from around wider Canterbury converged on Ashburton’s Waireka Cro- quet Club on Sunday for the club’s annual Jeff Marshall Drawn Doubles Tournament. The tournament attracted 44 entries from as far away as Christchurch, Timaru and Ger- aldine, along with a large num- ber of players from Ashburton’s two clubs, Waireka and Allen- ton. And some of those local play- ers fared well. Block one was taken out by Bill Allnutt and Carol Bryan with 28 hoops, while the equal runners-up with 27 hoops each were the pairings of Allison Bartlett and Olive Crossen, and Shelagh Field and Christina Miller. In block two, the winners were Bob Plenty and Joan- na Logan with 27 hoops, and again, there were joint run- ners-up. Finishing in second with 25 hoops were Bev Blair and Geor- gina Black, and Brian Goodwin and Chris O’Sullivan.
