Mid Canterbury is for business! MidCanOpenforBiz.nz open From principal to comedian

Tinwald School principal Peter Livingstone has 220 pairs of eyes watching him when he gives announcements at his school assem- blies. This number of captive audience members more than doubles when he performs in Vari- ety Theatre Ashburton shows at the 500-seat Ashburton Trust Event Centre. But nothing has ever been so daunting in his whole life as what it was on one night in July last year, when he faced a room full of 40 people at Arabica Licenced Café in Methven. Livingstone had enrolled as one of six locals for the stand-up comedy open mic night Tak- ing the Piste, organised by comedian and pro- ducer Bec Sandys. He had signed up after reading an article in the Guardian, about Sandys looking for locals to enrol. “I thought surely everyone is going to give this a go. Surely there’s all these want-to-be comedians who think they can cut it,” he said. He was wrong about that, there wasn’t a huge number, something which surprised him considering the burning desire he had harboured for quite some time. He said he had always admired successful stand-up comedians, and been in awe of their ability to entertain with just themselves on stage, and no supporting actors or script. “That’s what the challenge is in this, that’s why I wanted to do it, because I wanted to push myself, my stuff, my originality, how well would it be received, how good is it?” When it came to the big night, he was quite daunted. This was despite his school and theatre experience, following growing up in a church family where he would do Sunday readings and sing in the choir. Of the six performing at Taking the Piste, he was up third, and found the nerves almost un- bearable. “I was absolutely crapping myself, I shook so much.” His material of a race-call, with the theme of someone relaying being put into a situation they are not familiar with, ended up being a winner and he had the small Arabica audience in stitches.

■■TRAGEDY Investigation into fatal accident continues

Investigations are ongoing into a fatal accident on Thursday night near Chertsey which claimed the life of two Ashburton locals. Emergency services were called to the scene of a three-vehi- cle crash near Wilkinsons Road around 7pm on Thursday night. Initial reports suggest that a southbound vehicle crossed the centreline and crashed into a car before then crashing into another which was following behind the first.

OUR VIEW

Matt Markham EDITOR When respect and privacy trumps news

tragic situation is never an easy one to deal with. For Aus, it’s a case of wanting to get as much information out into the public arena to keep as many people informed as is possible in the circumstances. I was asked yesterday morn- ing why we don’t report names of people involved in fatal accidents until they’ve been re- leased by police, even when we know, without any uncertainty, who those people are. Logic suggests we probably should. By the time police release a name, it’s usually well and truly public knowledge. And therefore, not really newsworthy – and so perhaps a little redun- dant in a news sense. YOUR VIEW But there’s an element of re- spect that deserves to be shown in times like that.

■■RUGBY Southern hold off plucky Hampstead

By Adam Burns [email protected] Southern were forced to work but ultimately did enough to regis- ter their second Watters Cup win over a spirited Hampstead at the weekend. The 33-19 win in Hinds on Sat- urday was built off a flying start by the hosts and a dominant scrum which had Hampstead perilously backpedalling, especially in the first half. However to the visitors’ credit, the side refused to go away and showed plenty of enterprise with ball in hand as they began to eat into Southern’s lead, having conceded 19 unanswered points within the first quarter of the game. Southern’s commanding onset in the end proved to be the differ- ence in an encounter where both teams can take encouragement. After bringing some edge to the physical battle a week ear- lier against Celtic, Hampstead’s pack looked set for a brutal reality check early on, as scrum time was presented as a harrowing mis- match. Southern secured an early lead within the opening five min- utes after lock Luke Bonnington crashed over as the home team seamlessly worked the close channels. Five minutes later and halfback Hamish McKenzie had snaffled a five pointer following an assertive lineout drive and a flurry of pick- and-goes on the Hampstead line. Things looked bleak at this stage for Hampstead, unable to get their hands on the ball and an engine room being overpowered. A penalty or a tighthead became an inevitability at scrum time for the visitors, and following anoth- er scrum which pinned Hamp- Southern first five Ethan Reith crashes over near the posts to seal a 33-19 win over Hampstead at the Hinds Domain. stead back onto their haunches, PHOTO ROBYN HOOD 270620-RH-005 number 8 Alexander McKenzie extended Southern’s lead when ble tackles to cruise in under the front of a huge crowd. ven were lucky not to have some- fore Manasa Bari, who was par- he dived over from close quarters. posts to bring the ledger back to Much had been touted about one in the bin for repeat offences. ticularly strong with the ball in With Southern ticking along 19-14.
