Winter at the Ashley Church

Jeneane Hobby from Ashley Community Church Incorporated

The winter flowering cherry near the gate is the best I've ever seen it and seems to shimmer with the low sun these days. If anyone would like to gather some oak leaves for composting or making their own leaf mold there are plenty of oak leaves to go around. Do please keep vehicles off the grass inside the grounds though.

Poll: Should learning about climate change be part of the school curriculum?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

I am on the home stretch with regard to my vision of New Zealand women having the best access to information and support all through their ovarian cancer diagnosis. The New Zealand Gynaecological Cancer Foundation have appointed me as an Ambassador for them. This is an honour I never saw coming! They have also agreed to stand behind my book project which addresses the significant health issue of ovarian cancer in all its forms. To achieve my aim I really need support from the public. I will be the only Kiwi attending this event and the value of this networking can not be underestimated. An extra $1000 will mean I can travel debt free. Please check out 5% Going Teal on Facebook and givealittle.co.nz... I will also be the South Island representative for the Foundation at this stage. Local girl made good. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. When I return I will have a speaking schedule so if you would like more information I am happy to visit your workplace or group. Arohanui, Catharine.

PS: Bears can be viewed for purchase at Quilters Quarters, Carpet Court Rangiora and Woodend Medical Centre. They are one of my fundraisers.

Ambitious proposals for a memorial to the March 15 terror attack response include a large ornamental water feature, a playground and a conference centre.

The New Zealand Federation of Islamic Associations has drawn up concept plans for a memorial to "capture the legacy of how New Zealanders all came together as one" after the shootings at two Christchurch mosques.

The architecture firm behind the concept plans, Apa Architects in Rotorua, estimated the project would cost between $10 million and $15m to build.

I was thinking of the kind that farmers put over the top of their hay while it is in the paddock-they look really thick and waterproof, not like the tarps you get in Mitre 10, etc. It is roughly about 30ft long by 8ft wide. Any help would be much appreciated.
