HANMER SPRINGS
Gavins Logging Senior A team
Hawarden hosted the finals day of netball for 2018 and
put on a warm sunny day. The Senior A team was play-
ing off for 3rd and 4th in the A grade competition against
Culverden Red. Hanmer took to the court with great
team spirit and were out for a fun game to end the sea-
son. From the starting whistle Hanmer asserted its
dominance with great flow throughout the court and
excellent feeding by Zoey Cuff and Sarah Currie into on
form shooters Kelly Rutherford and Bobby Childs. Ex-
cellent defence in the goal circle by Emily Shaw and Jaz
Cuff and some outstanding through court defence by
Kendall Bond ensured that Hanmer made many
turnovers. Some changes in positions in the third and
fourth quarters saw Jo Murphy and Kirsty Gavin take to
the court and the team continued to dominate and
grow on its strong lead. Great to see every member of
the team out there for our final game. Unfortunately a
broken finger in a rep game last Sunday meant that one
of our star shooters Melissa Buschl-Smith was relegat-
ed to the sideline for our final game but her encour-
agement and guiding of shooters and players on court
was heard from the sidelines. Player of the Day went to

their efforts. Final score 22-11.

and the bees would be free to buzz around without hurting
anyone. Paucton did, and he soon became a preeminent
figure of the French beekeeping set, selling his homemade
honey in the theatre’s gift shop alongside souvenir keychains
and recordings of “Carmen.” Although he packed up his
Opéra rooftop hives in 2013, he seems to have helped make
beekeeping on the roofs of Paris landmarks a bit of a thing.
Since then, Parisian beekeepers, or apiculteurs, have quietly
kept hundreds of hives on the rooftops of some of the most
famous buildings in Paris—often without the general public
knowing anything about it. The Opéra Garnier, the Musée
d’Orsay, the École Militaire, Notre Dame, the Grand Palais,
and the Institut de France are just a handful of major
monuments where area beekeepers raise their colonies.
Privately owned buildings, such as the famed jewellery store
Boucheron and La Tour d’Argent (the restaurant that claims to
have introduced the fork to the French), also allow beekeepers
to practice their métier, or job, on their roofs.                                PROPERTY VALUER
