Thanks to all our stall holders and to the small team who have managed to juggle a huge range of tasks leading up to and during the Garage Sale and Market day. A big thank you to everyone who donated goods and thanks also for sponsorship from Ashley School, North Canterbury Engineering, and Marilyn and David Ayers.

At the end of the day the combined total, from site fees, garage sale and very generous donations came to over $800 and is just enough to cover our Insurance costs for this year. That means we can confidently offer the building for hire for weddings, funerals and other ceremonies, concerts and worship meetings!

Thousands of people turned out for this year's Northern A&P Rangiora Show last weekend.

Show secretary Lisa Dooling says final figures are yet to be determined, but this year's show takings are up on last year and feedback from visitors has been fantastic.

"Everything just ran really well. It was a good, fun day," she says.

Dooling says the past few months organising the show were "extremely busy", but she managed to fit in some time to knit and even entered an item in the show.

"I won first prize for a knitted hat. A friend of mine came up to me at the show and told me I'd won, so that was nice. I had planned on entering two things but just ran out of time."

Preliminary results have found water quality at a polluted North Canterbury stream may be improved by adding clean water.

Silverstream, a spring-fed lowland waterway near Kaiapoi, is the focus of ongoing efforts to improve water quality and reduce nitrate levels. In large quantities, nitrogen becomes a pollutant and can suck the life from rivers, make drinking water unsafe to drink, and reach levels toxic to life.

ECan senior hydrogeologist Zeb Etheridge says initial results from the first eight weeks of a three-year are promising and their method of adding clean water to the affect waterway could be a real win-win for the environment and the economy.
