It’s been missing in action for a year, but Children’s Day will be back on the Ashburton District’s event calendar in March, bigger and better than ever.

DISTRICT COURT Slap ‘a case of mistaken identity’

A 37-year-old woman has been ordered to pay reparations following an altercation at the Methven Rodeo back in October. Mylee Krystal Watene pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault in the Ashburton District Court on Monday. The court heard from the defendant’s lawyer that it was a case of “mistaken identity” which the defendant had accepted when referring to the incident on October 25. Earlier that particular day, it is alleged a man in the crowd fell on the defendant and touched her inappro- priately, the court heard. Later in the day, the woman allegedly approached an individual who she believed to have been the man in question where she slapped him across the left cheek in retaliation. It is alleged she then said “now we’re even”. Although there were no injuries, Judge Dominic Dra- vitzki advised the defendant should not have behaved in such a way. Ms Watene was ordered to pay $250 emotional harm reparations to the victim. Guilty plea to contravening a protection order

OUR VIEW Good sense ultimate summer safety measure

By Jonathan Leask

ummer is well and truly upon us. S It’s set to be hot and dry and that brings with it fire restrictions. It is something that has become part and parcel of the Kiwi summer. Clear skies and warm tempera- tures are what we want in summer. Unfortunately, it comes with inherent risk. What stuck out for me in the announcement of the fire restrictions coming in in Canterbury was the fact authorities had to remind the public that lighting fireworks at this time of year is dangerous. It opens up the old can of worms around public access to fireworks, but it’s a dilemma that needs to be solved.

By Jo Luxton LABOUR MP

here is no doubt about it, 2020 has been a year for Tthe history books. This time last year we never could have predicted what 2020 would have meant for us all, and how it would have changed our day-today lives. We couldn’t have predicted that for six weeks we would be glued to our TV for 1pm press conferences, that we would commemorate Anzac Day at our front gates, or that the Easter Bunny would have to be given special essential worker rights in order to deliver Easter treats. Through it all – a strict lock- down, border closures and QR scanning, Mid Cantabrians have shown our resilience. As a team of 37,000 we have pulled together, saved lives and now we are supporting our local economy by supporting our local businesses. Of course, in between the global pandemic, we had an Covid-19 raised its ugly head in 2020, with world-wide effects.

After suffering back-to-back losses in the previous weeks, the Mid Canterbury club responded at the Ashburton Domain with a vital 43-run win over Swannanoa in their ninth round clash. Allenton’s fifth win of the season was built around a seriously improved batting performance, despite a couple of players missing due to Hawke Cup commit- ments on the other side of the Domain. Batting first, the home side notched up their second highest total of the season in their 40 overs. It was followed by a confining display with the ball, as Swanna- noa were unable to find the same clout with the bat to threaten their opponent’s total. Allenton’s total of 242/5 was boosted by three half-century stands throughout the innings, indicating a more concerted effort by the team to bat for longer periods.
