2 Ashburton Guardian Wednesday, October 9, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Teamwork key to successful marriage

By Susan Sandys [email protected] Romance was in the air when David and Pat Waller met in 1952. Today aged 86 and 87 respectively, the Ashburton couple reminisce about that evening when they went to a dance at the town’s Radiant Hall with friends, and ended up waltzing the night away. Whether it was love at first sight, Da- vid is not sure. “But we did get attached to one another, and today she’s still there,” he said. Dancing ended up being something they did together throughout their life, following being married at St Stephen’s Anglican Church in Ashburton on Oc- tober 9, 1954. Today as they celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary, they can look back on a happy marriage. They have two daughters, four grandchildren and four great grandchildren. David said “meeting halfway” was behind the successful relationship, while Pat said it was “working togeth- e r”. “You can’t have it all one way, so you just work together, just a bit of teamwork,” David added.

For more than four decades I’ve lived here in Ashburton, raising a family and running a successful business.

I bring extensive financial and governance experience to the Council table, asking the hard questions to get the basics right. I'll focus on:

Keeping a lid on rates: Every decision comes with a cost that comes straight from your pocket. Council has an obligation to spend your money wisely.

Quality infrastructure: Prudent investment in the critical infrastructure Ashburton needs and avoiding another council blowout.

Responsible governance: Tackling the big challenges and opportunities our district faces rather than wasting time on nonsensical issues.

There’s kookiness and magic on the other side of that boundary. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Inspiration always has a novel element, maybe a twist, or an expectation far exceeded. No one gets inspired by what they’ve already seen. You bring originality and newness to what you do today. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Do whatever you can to get consensus in the group, even if it’s on the most basic tenet of reality.
