We might love our pets, we might www.WatchPCNZ.org love a particular food or sport, or piece of music. This type of love is associated Parish Priest with pleasure, warm feelings – affection. No wonder then when it comes to the Fr John Adams : 021 264 8927 [email protected] question of loving particular people, people that we don’t find it easy to feel any Assistant Priests affection for, that the word love seems to much of a challenge for us. Fr Tien Cao : 021 181 4721 In the scriptures however the word love is less often associated with [email protected] affection but more often associated with a commitment, a commitment to Parish Secretary Sandra Mabazza ‘keep on loving’ regardless of the particular circumstances we find ourselves in. 03 313 6285 / 027 230 8536 It’s a commitment, indeed a stubborn unwavering commitment, to the well [email protected] Tuesday-Friday 9am-3pm being of the other. Think of the commitment of one spouse to the other even Pastoral Associates when one of them becomes ill or disabled – perhaps this comes closest to the Sr Gael Henry type of love Jesus asks of us in our gospel today. Put simply – Jesus asks to love [email protected] our neighbor – not to necessarily like our neighbor….

    Waimakariri District Flood Hazard Management Strategy Ashley River Floodplain Investigation Report No. R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 Tony Oliver June 2008 Report R08/23 ISBN 978-1-86937-804-2 58 Kilmore Street PO Box 345 Christchurch Phone (03) 365 3828 Fax (03) 365 3194 75 Church Street PO Box 550 Timaru Phone (03) 688 9069 Fax (03) 688 9067 Website: www.ecan.govt.nz Customer Services Phone 0800 324 636 Environment Canterbury Technical Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study of the Ashley River floodplain uses a combined one and two dimensional hydraulic computer model to estimate flood extent and depths on the Ashley River floodplain. Modelling has indicated the current capacity of the Ashley River stopbanked system is approximately equivalent to the 2% AEP (50 year return period) flood event. Breakouts however, could occur in more frequent events. Stopbank breaches and outflows onto the floodplain could potentially occur anywhere along the stopbanks. Breakout scenarios onto the floodplain have been modelled for the 1%, 0.5% and 0.2% AEP (i.e. 100, 200 and 500 year return period) events at the most likely breakout locations. The modelling indicates significant flooding to large areas of land between the Ashley and Waimakariri Rivers. Kaiapoi and adjacent areas are predicted to be flooded to depths over 1 metres in the 0.2% AEP (500 year return period) event. The impact of future urbanisation in Kaiapoi has also been modelled. It is hoped the floodplain maps and associated depths will assist land use planning within the area and provide information on minimum floor levels for new dwellings located on the floodplain, where appropriate.

  • Hail Damage to Exotic Forests in Canterbury A
    HAIL DAMAGE TO EXOTIC FORESTS IN CANTERBURY A. W. GRAYBURN Summary: A severe hail storm on the afternoon of Sunday, 23rd December, 1956, caused extensive damage to exotic forests and shelter belts along a definite path in the Mid and North Canterbury area. Most exotic conifers suffered in some way but one plantation of Pinus ponderosa now has a large number of dead or dying trees in it. In this article, there is a description of the storm and the type of damage that resulted. Introduction: Most textbooks on Forest Pathology make only passing reference to the effect of hail on forest trees e.g. Boyce (1948) and Baxter (1943). However, there is at least one instance where the choice of species has been influenced by the common occurrence of hail storms: Pinus radiata is no longer recommended for the hail storm belt of the Transvaal because of its susceptibility to hail damage and sub- sequent disease (Diplodea), (Legat, 1930). Damage by hail storms has also been described in the U.S.A., Canada, and Africa (Boyce, 1948; Riley, 1953; Thomas, 1956; Edwards, 1956; and Howard, 1956). Therefore it is of interest to report a hail storm that has done considerable damage to forest trees in New Zealand. The storm occurred on the afternoon of 23rd December, 1956, over a narrow belt stretching from Mount Somers to North Loburn, Canterbury, a distance of 60-70 miles. It was three weeks before the significant damage, particularly that in P. ponderosa and P. radiata became obvious. The Hail Storm: Kidson (1932) reported that most hail storms in New Zealand occurred in the spring and were associated with S.W.
