OUR VIEW Wearing masks in public too little too late

et the feeling Kiwis are running out of patience Gwith this Covid-19 busi- ness? Yes, we know we’re in the midst of a pandemic and we’re committed to getting the bug out of Godzone, but it feels like we’re all running a bit low on patience, tolerance and it feels like every day is ground hog day.

SEALES WINSLOW A helping hand for cystic fibrosis
By Heather Mackenzie
Handing over money to a charity is a great feeling, add in personal connections, and the giving goes to the next level. Local business, Seales Winslow are good at giv- ing, every time they meet their quarterly health and safety key performance indicators (KPI) they give $500 to a charity to celebrate. Operations support Kathryn Barr was especial- ly touched when the guys at their weekly tool box meeting chose cystic fibrosis this time round. Barr said her son Ryan Hamilton, who was first diagnosed with the disease at birth, fought cou- rageously until his body finally gave out just after his 21st birthday, eight years ago. “It is so good to be able to give something back to them after all their help,” she said. Barr was not the only one to be moved by the staff choice, South Island regional manager and national operations manager Tyler Stuthridge, who is also based out at Hinds, was Hamilton’s best friend. “We are very very happy to do it,” said Stuthridge, who went on to add that the compa- ny-wide initiative is a great way to keep health and safety compliance at the front of their staff’s minds. “It helps to drive a safe culture here and when the staff have a connection to the charity, it drives them too.” Melissa Skene, Canterbury Cystic Fibrosis chair, said she was thrilled to accept the money on be- half of the charity. There are a lot of people out there needing help at the moment so Skene said the money will go towards welfare based costs. “We have many families who find the financial burden of getting to hospital appointments or Melissa Skene, Canterbury Cystic Fibrosis chair (middle), was thrilled to accept a $500 donation from the staff at Seales Winslow Hinds this covering food costs, so we will be able to help out week.

A farm on the edge of Mid Canterbury appears to have stumbled upon the mag- ic formula for growing the highest value wagyu cattle in the country, on grass. This season, Evan and Clare Chapman of Rockburn Farming, in Geraldine, have routinely produced huge 800kg-plus wagyu steers, and impressive marble scores, off their property near Geraldine. First Light – the co-operative of farm- ers that the Chapmans belong to – pro- cessed the biggest animal the business has seen in recent memory, at a whop- ping 946kg. Now, First Light is auctioning for char- ity one of the whole, marble score 7+ ribeyes the Chapmans have produced, with all proceeds going to KidsCan. The ribeye comes from a sibling to the wagyu steer that delivered First Light’s World Steak Award gold medal win in 2019. First Light managing director Gerard Hickey said the Chapmans – whose farm celebrated its centenary in January – were clearly doing something right. “This isn’t a one-off. In the last month, Rockburn has sent us some of the highest yielding animals we can remember. This is the wagyu beef dreams are made of – beautiful meat, incredible intra-muscu- lar marbling, and a generous pay-day for the Chapmans, who have made it hap- pen for us.” First Light’s farming model offers a Hickey estimates the beef, weighing best grass-fed meat that delivers on flavour Light developed a unique value chain model guaranteed per-kilogram contract on about 6.8kg, would have sold to a United and succulence without any shortcuts, un- to produce and deliver grass-fed meats di- each animal, so that farmers are able to States restaurant for a minimum $500. natural substances or interventions of indus- rectly from the farm to the person who pre- forecast payments 12 months in advance “We call these sorts of steaks ‘unicorns’ trialised production.

NETBALL Crunch time on court
By Adam Burns
If Hampstead’s place at the top of the heap remains unequiv- ocal, a question mark hangs over who their nearest chal- lengers are. As the championship round reaches the midway point, the outcome of tomorrow night’s premier 1 fixtures will go a long way to painting the finals picture. Arguably the match of the round will be the third and final pairing on court, when Celtic A takes on Methven. Celtic probably still has the inside running for “best of the rest” despite not commanding the competition like it has in previous seasons. However Methven has enough potency in their arse- nal to unsettle in what should be a closely-fought encounter. Celtic claimed an eight point win in the sides’ earlier season meeting, in what was a high- ly defensive-orientated affair, and it will be no surprise if it is just as tough going, with cru- cial competition points on the line. The return bout between College A and United will also be a fascinating toss-of-the- coin duel. All square on four champi- onship points, United and Col- lege played out a 26-all draw during the first phase of the competition. College have to brush them- selves off quickly after being taken apart by Hampstead last week, while United are coming off a six-goal defeat to Celtic A. Hampstead and Celtic B are first on court where the unbeaten frontrunners will be heavily favoured to add to their points tally, despite Celtic proving worthy premier 1 op- position after two games in the number one grade. An extension to Alert Level 2 restrictions means it is another week of topflight netball with no spectators. Methven take on Celtic A in an all-important premier 1 clash tomorrow night.

RUGBY Second half blitz sinks Combined
By Adam Burns
A second half surge by Shirley Boys’ helped overpower Mid Canterbury Combined during their UC Championship clash in Ashburton at the weekend. The Christchurch school ran out 43-7 winners after scoring 26 unanswered points in the second spell, as their big boys proceeded to dominate the physical battle. “We ended up again letting the floodgates open to a very big and hard-hitting team,” head coach Shane Enright said in his post- match assessment. Combined, backing up from an impressive performance against St Andrews a week earlier, were competitive in several areas, par- ticularly at scrum time. The team scrambled well on defence in the first half, and were immersed at the breakdown as they were able to operate with plenty of front foot ball. However the home team strug- gled to go with Shirley as the game wore on, as the visitors found another gear to run in seven tries in the game, which was again played behind closed doors. Again the team’s playing stocks were tested with Alex Barnaby, Sam Ree and Cade Whittaker un- available for selection due to in- jury. Shirley drew first blood after seven minutes, when halfback Sam Nicholls scored in the corner following a breakout from about halfway. Mid Canterbury Combined’s Alex Roderick crashes over for the side’s only try against Shirley Boys’ High.

FOOTBALL

A chance to make further advance- ments on the table has gone beg- ging for Mid Canterbury United af- ter falling to Parklands. A late goal by Luke Martin was not enough for the Mid Cantabrians, HIGH FLYER going down 2-1 at the Ashburton Domain on Saturday. The Christchurch club claimed a 1-0 halftime lead courtesy of an ac- curate Kane Kilbride strike in added time. Parklands’ Miles Gruschow added to the tally in the 65th minute, be- fore Martin got one back four min- utes from time. The hosts had their chances but could not add to the one goal scored by their player/coach. United were striving for their third win on the trot; instead the defeat sends the club back down to seventh spot on the Mainland Can- terbury Championship League lad- der, with a tough road trip awaiting them this weekend. The club face top-of-the-table Halswell in Christchurch on Satur- day. Despite the disappointment at senior level, there were plenty of reasons for the club to celebrate. The reserves clinched their first win of the season off the back of a stunning four-goal performance from Ben Sutton. The 4-2 win lifts United off the bottom of the CCL Reserves table. United were also 4-2 winners at division 4 level, as the side bounced back from their first loss of the sea- son the week before with victory at Middleton Park. The side rediscovered their at- tacking clout with a double from Nic Ross, while Ben Chute and midfield taskmaster Jaime Pitt-MacKay also chipped in with a goal apiece.

Ashburton Altrusa Club Report Our monthly Business Meeting focused on Finance, Budgeting and Planning for the coming Altrusa year. We had another successful Days for Girls project where we made 230 machine-sewn packs for fem- inine products. This is part of a New Zealand-wide venture, so we must adhere to strict instructions regarding accu- racy of the packs. The national supervisor tells us we have surpassed our record for the number made, and with top qual- ity adhered to. A satisfying day. An Orientation morning tea was held for our latest member. There are 12 Magic Mums for our special day for them on the September 5. Our Accent, from the International Committee, re- minded us about ‘compassion for others’. We will run the annual Canterbury IFF Day (Infor- mation, Fun and Fellowship) on August 15. Ashburton Combined Friendship Club Ashburton Combined Friendship Club meeting Au- gust 2020 Club member Roberta Goodger spoke of her idyl- lic childhood on rural Otago Peninsula, attending a one-room school but later bussing to Anderson’s Bay. Nursing training was in Christchurch before mar- rying and raising her three children. She returned to work as a technician in the ECG department at Christchurch Hospital and eventually became its manager. Roberta had a strong interest in music, dance, and community organisations, most notably the New Brighton Pier Trust. They retired to Bannockburn where vineyards and wineries were developing. Her husband started a retirement job and progressed to managing vineyards. Roberta did community work with COGS before she and her husband retired again, moving to Ashburton to be close to family.
