2 Ashburton Guardian Tuesday, August 6, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Mount Hutt College band prepares for fundraiser

Big music is a big focus at Mount Hutt College, and students can not wait to demonstrate their passion at a public performance this Friday, and then at their first-ever big festival later this month. Pupils are flocking to free lessons in flute, clarinet, saxophone and brass, immersing themselves in the grand and symphonic world of concert mu- sic. More instruments are needed to keep up with the demand, and money to buy these will be raised at the con- cert. Music teacher Matthew Wood said rehearsals were going well as the Mount Hutt College Concert Band prepared for the concert, and auction, in the school’s hall at 7pm. Band members would then be on their way to the Christchurch Wind Festival 2019 held on August 24 and 25, no small achievement after the group’s creation at just the start of Term 2. “It’s taken most of that time to get everyone learning and a bit more de- veloped on their instruments,” Wood said.

6 Ashburton Guardian Tuesday, August 6, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Funny pair deliver serious message

WorkSafe is rolling out a sequel to its Safe Guy campaign, using humour to deliver a serious message to Mid Canter- bury workplaces and others around the country. Some 63 people were fatally injured in New Zealand workplaces last year and almost 30,000 suffered injuries that meant they needed more than a week off work. The rate of serious injury for Maori workers is higher than for the total population and almost 90 per cent of work- place fatalities are men. Also of concern to WorkSafe is that each year 10 times more people die from long-term health issues caused by work. WorkSafe says the campaign encourages workers to do the easiest thing to improve health and safety, to speak up. This year the 2018 Safe Guy D’Angelo Martin will be ac- companied in the sequel by social media up-and-comer Montel Tivoli to form a duo of Safe Guys. Together, the duo play out different scenarios in a series of videos that will be used to spread messages about work- place health and safety. WorkSafe Strategy and Performance Manager Jude Urlich says that research off the back of last year’s campaign found that people could really relate to the characters played out by the Safe Guy and that those surveyed said they were more likely to speak up about health and safety matters af- ter viewing the campaign. “This year’s campaign looks at two workmates and how they interact in the workplace. The Safe Guys play out a number of scenes that most people can relate to. “We are using humour to share what is actually a really serious message – that too many New Zealand workers are being hurt at work – especially young Maori men. When it comes to looking after your workmates you’ve got to speak up – and it really doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you do it”. The campaign will feature on videos, posters, billboards and radio adverts over the next three months.

MARKET REPORT

By Guy Trafford

When it comes to dairy farming one of the biggest enigmas is India. The biggest producer of milk globally grossing slightly over 22 per cent of total world production (twice that of the USA), India has around 3.6 million dairy farmers milking around 300 million cows. Most farms have only one to two cows with the odd larger farm pushing up the average. However, India’s largest dairy farm has 3000 cows and would be familiar to anyone H who has been to a housed system.

By Erin Tasker [email protected] Hundreds of runners and walkers, and those keen to do a bit of both, converged on Lake Hood on Sunday for the third annual South Island Half Marathon. Competitors came from around New Zealand and as far away as Australia and France to take part in the day’s events, and they were met by cool but clear and calm conditions which were near-perfect for racing. The 21km half marathon feature event was, as usu- al, the most popular and it was won by Jared Millar in a time of 1.18.23 hours, ahead of second placed Na- than Hey in 1.21.20 hours, and third placed Damien Cook in 1.21.59 hours. Methven multisporter Julia Grant was the first wom- an home in 1.24.40 hours, which was good enough for 11th overall, while Sonya Cameron was the second woman home followed by last year’s fastest woman Tracy Abbott. The hybrid event for those who wanted to cover the 21km by both running and walking was won by Mat- thew Jordan in a time of 1.57.18 hours, followed by Harley Willis and Adrian Willis. A number of walkers also took on the 21km, and Daryl Nish was the fastest home in 2.28.31 hours, fol- lowed by Sharyn Davey in 2.32.59 hours, and Darryn Harris in 2.35.33 hours. A 7km event was also raced and it was won by Mi- chael Wrigley in 28.39 minutes for the runners, fol- lowed by Vanessa Lord in second, in a time of 29.15 minutes. The 7km walk was won by Jane Thomson in 53.42 minutes, with Aynsley Wilkinson second and Derek Wilkinson third. A 3km kidz dash was also raced, and that was won by Ethan Cox in a time of 6.01 minutes, with Sophie Lampe – a Hinds School student who finished sec- ond in the Canterbury schools’ cross country a cou- ple of months ago – second in 6.03 minutes.
