Learning how to help environment
REPORT & PHOTO: JULES CHIN Holding a sustainable shell in her hands at the Just One Thing (JOT) sustainability table is Waimarino Ainsley, 5, at the Plastic Free July Expo and Repair Cafe on Saturday. The free Waste Free Waitaki event at the Waitaki Community Recreation Centre was supported by the Waitaki Resource Recovery Trust and the Waitaki District Council. Trust manager and organiser Trish Hurley said the event was in its second year and the main goal was to reduce negative impacts on the environment. "We run the event to educate people and show them practical and fun ways on how to make the environment a lot better for the generations going forward," she said. Waimarino's aunt, Davina Eru, of Oamaru, said they liked learning new things at the expo. "I'm interested in the crop swaps and workshops for sustainable fashion. I want to join up and learn more," she said. Mrs Hurley said although the attendance was down on last year, this year there were more offerings, and more people signed up for future sustainability workshops. About 60 people attended the event, including Dunedin group Recycle a Device (RAD) and a cheesemaking workshop run by Lynda Ramsay. RAD held a full-day workshop that gave children and young adults an opportunity to recycle a device by learning how to diagnose any issues and fix them via a laptop. The expo stalls were dedicated to sustainable activities such as jewellery and cycle repair, carpentry, welding and sewing. The Repair Cafe was a chance for people to bring in their broken items, which ranged from toys to lawnmowers, and get help to fix them.

It's believed star player Jota, 26, has already had an initial diagnosis which suggests he faces several MONTHS on the sidelines. That would see the fans' favourite flair player ruled out of the Scottish Cup final against Aberdeen at Hampden next month. But there are fears Jota is facing a race against time to be fit for the start of next season. Advertisement The injury put a huge dampener on Celtic's title-winning weekend win over United on Saturday. Jota fell awkwardly in the first-half and was substituted after receiving treatment and limping off the pitch. He later joined in the post-match celebrations on crutches and protective knee brace after four-in-a-row was sealed with a 5-0 victory. Rodgers, the club's medical staff and supporters were all hoping for good news on Sunday. Advertisement But it's emerged Jota is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines. He's made 16 appearances since rejoining the club from French club Rennes in January, just 18 months after being sold to Saudi outfit Al Ittihad for £25million, scoring five goals. More to follow...
