The children wrote about what they thought would happen when Mrs McGinty woke up in the morning and saw a seedling growing.

It is an area dominated by agriculture, with a mixture of cropping and grazing, both irrigated and non-irrigated. This report presents the results from a number investigations conducted in 2004 to create a snapshot of nitrate concentrations in groundwater across the Ashburton-Hinds plain. It then examines data that have been collected since 2004 to update the conclusions drawn from the 2004 data. In 2004, nitrate nitrogen concentrations were measured in groundwater samples from 121 wells on the Ashburton-Hinds plain. The concentrations ranged from less than 0.1 milligram per litre (mg/L) to more than 22 mg/L. The highest concentrations were measured in the Tinwald area, within an area approximately 3 km wide and 11 km long where concentrations were commonly greater than the maximum acceptable value (MAV) of 11.3 mg/L set by the Ministry of Health.

  • As the Nzski CEO James Coddington Looked out Over the Spectacular Vista Afforded by the Remarkables
    NZSki “Life As It Ought To Be” As the NZSki CEO James Coddington looked out over the spectacular vista afforded by the Remarkables mountain range - taking in the New Zealand tourist hub of Queenstown - he contemplated the future for his company. “We’re at a tipping point,” he suggested, “things could go either way. We’ve been gradually building momentum over the last few years. But we have to keep moving forward. We certainly have room to cope with more skiers, but if all we do is get more skiers on the mountains we will actually reduce the customer experience from what it is now. That will mean less skiers in the future, a weakened brand, and the undoing of a lot of good work over the last few years.” Figure 1: New Zealand’s Ski Areas NZSki operated 3 skifields – Coronet Peak and the Remarkables in Queenstown and Mount Hutt in Canterbury. Recent growth since Coddington’s appointment in 2007 has been spectacular. The 2009 season was the most successful season on record. As a company, skier/rider numbers were up 29% over 2008 and revenue was up 22% - despite the economic recession. “When I began we were getting 180,000 – 200,000 people a year on Coronet Peak, but now we’re at 330,000. The biggest single day in 2007 saw around 4000 people, but this year we had 7777 people in one day. With our old infrastructure we simply couldn’t have coped – but the completely rebuilt base building, and completion of the snowmaking system and our investments in lift and pass technology have paid huge dividends in protecting the experience.

  • 1 a Pattern of Mysterious Events and Places
    1 A Pattern of Mysterious Events and Places At first it wasn’t easy to imagine a time when I hadn’t existed, but from the talk of my parents that time of dreaming took on a pattern of mysterious events and places. ‘Beginnings and Endings’ In the week before Bill Pearson’s death, his long-time partner Donald Stenhouse initiated a discussion about the handling of his ashes. Bill’s mind was lucid, but cancer’s final stages had induced extreme lethargy, and for a long time his response was a thoughtful silence. So Donald spoke first, proposing to take some of the ashes to the ancestral place Bill had come to identify with most strongly, the ruined village of Doire-nam-fuaran – ‘The Grove of the Spring’ – in the Scottish Highlands. Bill answered with a smile and nod, seeming, Donald thought, both appreciative and contented by this solution. But a moment later he spoke for the first time, adding quietly but firmly, ‘And Greymouth Technical High School.’1 Bill Pearson’s memories of his loved mother, Ellen Pearson, explain this unusual association of places. Her father, John McLean, dreamed of a better life and departed Doire-nam-fuaran for New Zealand in the 1860s to find it. He settled in South Canterbury and bequeathed to his small corner of the Canterbury Plains an obscure reminder of his Highland origins – the place name ‘Dorie’. Some seventy years later, while Ellen lay gravely ill in Greymouth Hospital, her son was 1 no fretful sleeper a pattern of mysterious events and places rewarded for a year of unparalleled academic success by being named dux of his empowered the Canterbury Association to dispose of millions of acres of land high school.

A big thank you to the continued support of our resort partners Cardrona and NZSki who managed to operate which allowed our teams to continue training – to the envy of the rest of the world. The other resorts also ran Junior Interfield and National Points level races and this all contributed to us running a reasonable race season for the NZ athletes and coaches. One of the biggest lessons we learnt was how important it is to be ready and willing to adapt to change within an uncharted and fast-moving environment. However, despite the challenges of today, we are preparing for the opportunities of tomorrow as we navigate our pathway, delivering our services and work through this Olympic cycle.
