QV registered valuer Kris Rodgers
told the North Canterbury News that
smaller lifestyle blocks, including
thosedeemedrural residential,had
seen thebiggest increases.
Less movement was seen in larger
lifestyleblocks,4hectares and
above, although there werepockets
with greater value increases.
Bareland blocks,especially
smaller ones, around Mandeville

Workshop to tackle social isolation
By DAVID HILL
Social connectedness remains
achallenge for many in North
Canterbury.
Asocial inclusion workshop
is beingheld at the
Ruataniwha KaiapoiCivic
Centre next Thursday,asthe
Waimakariri district’s social
inclusion initiatives group
lookstobreakdown barriers.
Waimakariri District
Council community
development adviser
Madeleine Burdon,who chairs
the group,says asocially
inclusivesociety is where
people feelvalued, their
differences are respected, and
their basicneedsare met,‘‘so
thatthey can live in dignity’’.
The groupwas established in
2007underthe umbrella of
Social Services Waimakariri,
but is now resourced by the
council’s community team.
‘‘The challenges and
barrierscreating social
isolation have notchanged
much in 12 years—indeed,
some new concernshave
emerged, including rapid
populationgrowth.
‘‘We are championing what’s
already out there and
exploring new opportunities to
address isolation, and we’re
keen to hearwhat people are
doing.’’
She says social isolation can
be caused by severalfactors
and not justbymoving to anew
community, or due to getting
olderorlosing mobility.
‘‘It could be achange in life
situation. It could be someone
who has retiredorlost their
job, or you’velost yourspouse.’’
The socialinclusion
workshop will be held upstairs
in the centre on Thursday,
October 31, from 9am to 12pm.

Some big movers in property revaluations
From Page 1
Turning to business premises,
Mr Rodgers said the
commercial and industrial
sector had experienced steady
growth since 2016, driven by
the effects of population
growth and construction.
‘‘With the developmentof
new retail space, precincts
and industrial developments,
Waimakariri business areas
are now competing with and
attracting customers from
surrounding areas, including
Christchurch.
‘‘Thebusiness sector was
one of the largest movers with
commercial increasing14% on
capital value and 1.9% on land
value, while industrial
property increased 8.1% on
capital value and decreased
1% on landvalue.’’
Mr Rodgers notedthat, in
the rural sector, farmerswere
experiencing regulatory
pressuresfrom government
and financial institutions,
resulting in afallinsales
activity across the district.
‘‘There has been asmall
decrease in valueacross dairy
properties,whilstpastoraland
arablehave remained at
similar value levels to 2016,
with pastoral properties in
some localitiesexperiencing a
small increase.’’
Notices of rating valuation
are being posted out to owners
now, with 26,628properties
acrossthe district having been
revalued.
Ratingvaluations are
carried out on all properties in
New Zealand, usuallyonce
every three years, to
specifically helplocal
councilsset rates for the
following three years.
Such valuesare just one of
several factors councils use to
set rates. An increased rating
valuation does not necessarily
mean aproperty owner will
pay more rates.
Ownerswhoseproperties
have increased above the
district average will likelypay
more, while thosewhose
valuationchange is belowthe
average may well pay less.
Council rates will not be
updatedbasedonthe new
valuations untilJuly 1, 2020.
Theupdatedrating
valuations should reflect the
likelysellingprice of a
property at the effective
revaluation date, which was
August 1, 2019,but did not
include chattels.
Thefigures from QV show
thetotal rateable value of the
26,628 propertieswithin the
district is now $17,252,147,000,
with the land value of those
propertiesnow valued at
$7,883,667,000.
The updated rating
valuations are independently
auditedbythe Office of the
Valuer General, and need to
meet rigorous quality
standards before the new
ratingvaluations are certified.

The council’s manager of
finance and business support,
JeffMillward, says the QV
rating valuationsdon’t
increase how much the
council collectsfor rates,but
can affect the distribution of
rates.
‘‘Rates are one source of
council income,’’ he says.
‘‘Revaluation doesn’t
increase the amount council
collectsfrom rates, but it helps
workout everyone’s share.’’
Also, the revaluation only
affected ratesbasedona
property’s value.Ithad no
impact on rates setbyfixed
charges, land area, or targeted
rates such as kerbside
collection services.
‘‘Rating levels dependon
funding decisions made by the
council.
‘‘Wewon’t know until the
start of the next rates yearhow
the new property values will
affect individualrates,’’ Mr
Millwardsaid.

ECan appeal condemned
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Environment Canterbury
defied logic when it appealed
aHigh Court decision on
defining riverbeds, Hurunui
farmers say.
The appeal was dismissed
by the Court of Appeal earlier
this month.
The farmers say the appeal,
and ECan’s determination to
set riverbed lines based on
1­in­50 year floods, has cost
them, and ratepayers who
footed the bill for the appeal,
thousands of dollars.
The High Court had earlier
determined that ECan’s
argument over river widths,
accepted by the District
Court in aprosecution case
against Dunsandel dairy
farmer Mike Dewhirst, was
wrong. ECan’s position was
based on looking at the river’s
fullest flow and searching for
asuitable bank.
The chairman of the
Hurunui­based Rural
Advocacy Network, Jamie
McFadden says the essential
issue was not about
protecting braided rivers as
ECan purported. It was about
using aflawed and unfair
process based on
hypothetical 1­in­50 year
floods to map riverbeds.
‘‘This decision (the appeal)
should be celebrated by all
those who value commonsense
and fair process,’’ he
says.
Mr McFadden says he
cannot understand why
ECan, at significant cost to
ratepayers, pursued acourt
case that would have seen
land used for houses, roads,
and townships, as well as
areas farmed for 100 years,
deemed riverbed.
‘‘A number of farmers have
been subjected to considerable
cost —$5000 to $15,000
—and aWaiau farmer
prosecuted and branded a
criminal because of ECan’s
flawed, and now proven
illegal, riverbed lines
policy,’’ he says.
He wonders if ECan will
show any empathy for the
‘‘appalling injustice it has
inflicted on these
landowners’’.
Dave Holland, who farms
near the Hurunui River, says
the riverbed lines appeared
to be nothing short of aland

grab by ECan.
‘‘It is pretty odd when
riverbed lines encompass
towns and buildings. Ican’t
see how you can suddenly
call private property
riverbed, and then restrict
farming with no talk of
compensation or even
consultation,’’ he says.
He struck problems when
he applied for consent to
extend his irrigation to a
small area of land near the
river. ECan said it was
riverbed,
‘‘The whole thing has been
awaste of money and time.
They are trying to land­grab
and control what is
happening. To all of asudden
call it riverbed was plainly
not right,’’ he says.
Mr Holland says ECan’s
riverbed determination
defied logic, had cost people
quite alot of money, and it
appeared the regional
council was running its own
agenda without the thought of
bringing farmers along with
it.
Paul Hood, who farms at
Parnassus, paid $10,000 to a
surveyor to prove part of the
freehold land he had bought
alongside the Waiau River,

was his land. ECan raised
concerns at the 11th hour,
after he sought consent to do
river protection work on his
property, bounding the
Waiau River.
‘‘I was told Icouldn’t farm
the land because it was
riverbed. It was not until I
threatened to take ECan to
court, and pointed out their
ruling would affect every
farmer along the river from
Parnassus to Hanmer
Springs, that they came
around and in the end backed
down.’’
It was decided to call his
property an island, and the
consent was issued.
He says he should have
challenged it being called an
island, but he had just bought
the farm and had acow shed
on it.
He said he had spent a
considerable amount of
money and did not want to
put anything at risk for his
shareholders.
‘‘I accepted it and moved
on.’’
Nadeine Dommisse,
ECan’s chief operating
officer, says there are no
plans to appeal the Dewhirst
decision.
42 Charles St
Kaiapoi
03 375 4442
She says the key reason
ECan appealed the decision
was to clarify the definition
of riverbed under the
Resource Management Act
(RMA).
‘‘This decision now
provides clarity for
landowners, communities
and river users on apoint of
law that has wide­reaching
implications and is central to
ECan’s work in protecting the
region’s much­valued
braided rivers.
‘‘The RMA definition of
‘bed’ is ‘the space of land
which the waters of the river
cover at its fullest flow
without overtopping its
banks’.
‘‘In our braided rivers,
which do not have clearly
defined banks, the definition
is difficult to apply.’’
Ms Dommisse encourages
anyone considering works
that may be in the bed of a
waterway to discuss it with
officers before doing any
work to ensure a‘‘fuller
understanding of the
potential issues’’.
‘‘Doing so should help
avoid any disputes over
whether they are working in a
riverbed or not,’’ she says.

Why birds of afeather
cause havoc together
By RACHEL MACDONALD
It’s starling season and nestbuilding
is well under way.
Of course, it’s not just
starlings getting creative with
straw, but because they tend
to build in enclosed spaces —
from ceilings where they can
get in under the tin to engine
housings —they are the birds
that tend to pose the greatest
fire risk.
Cust fire chief Peter
Clements says it is
particularly important to
check all engine bays for bird
nests if avehicle hasn’t been
run for awhile.
Tractors are at big risk in
this regard.
‘‘Birds are aproblem every
year at this time, but they
seem to be particularly bad
this year,’’ he says.
‘‘Most farmers are aware of
the issue and we tend to leave
bonnets open on our tractors,
as that means it’s too light for
the birds to nest.
‘‘In fact, some farmers take
their tractor bonnets off
altogether over spring.’’
Another potential problem
centres around nests built
around outside lights on a
veranda or deck, and around
chimneys —especially if the
weather remains abit cool.
Barbecues can be ahazard,
too, if nesting material has
fallen in around the burners.
Nests in letterboxes are not
so much afire risk, but still
not ideal. That’s when abit of
tape across the slot in front
can come in handy.
Persistent ... Within aday of
this barbecue being tidied up,
the birds were already back and
busy.
Highway
upgrade
completed
Ahigh­risk stretch of highway
between Waipara and
Waikari has had its $3.5
millionupgrade completed.
Between 2008 and 2018 one
persondied and 12 were
seriously hurt in crashes on
this part of State Highway 7.
The improvements were
completed last month and it
is hopedthe work willmake
the road safer for motorists,
The New Zealand
Transport Agency’s director
of regional relationships, Jim
Harland, says the stretch is
part of akey freight route
between Picton and
Christchurch.
‘‘It gets busy with local
people and travellers,
particularlyaround holiday
time, as it leads to the turnoff
to Hanmer Springs,through
to the West Coast and also
Nelson andPicton.
‘‘Safety barriers havebeen
added on the highway to help
prevent run­offroad crashes
and rumble strips have been
installed to wake­up drivers
asleep at the steering wheel.’’
Sealed shoulders in frontof
new safety barriers will give
drivers who lose control more
room to recover. Improved
signagehas been installed,
and betterroad markings
make it easier for driver to
see at night and in the wet.

Around the electorate with
STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA
Best wishes to new mayor
Iwould firstly like to congratulate
Marie Black, the new mayor of the
Hurunui District.
Marie will draw on the experience
gained from her two previous terms as
deputy mayor as she makes the
transition to the mayoralty.
Iwish Marie all the best as she settles
into her new role.
On adifferent topic, Irecently went
to the Wetlands and Streams Field Day
in Culverden on The Triangle farm.
This Hurunui Biodiversity Group
event was well­attended and the work
that has been done on this farm to
enhance its environment is to be
applauded.
Sharemilker Nigel Gardiner has put
in agreat deal of effort on stream and
wetland enhancement and riparian
planting, and it was valuable to be able
to see this first­hand and learn more
about this farm­based project.
Farmers do feel like they are under
attack at the moment, and it seems that
the loudest voices have the least
understanding of the investment in
environmental projects that so many
farmers are undertaking.
The latest freshwater proposals are
an example of this, as they heap
pressures on to asector that is already
at historically low levels of confidence.
Farmers like those at The Triangle,
who are putting ahuge effort and
resources into some very exciting
environmental initiatives, which are
seeing real results, are being
overlooked.
So is the fact that aLand, Air, Water
Aotearoa (LAWA) analysis of national
river quality trends from 2008 to 2017
showed that, for eight out of the nine
water quality indicators on which it
reported, more monitored sites were
improving than degrading.
National signed an accord with the
dairy industry that saw farmers fence
off 98 percent of their waterways —a
major achievement by our farmers —
alongside spending more than $1
billion in environmental investment
over the last five years.
The work these farmers are doing to
enhance their —and our —
environment need to be recognised,
acknowledged and, above all,
supported.
Getting down to business

Incoming mayor aims to lead on regional transport
By DAVID HILL

Waimakariri’s new mayor.
As he prepares to be sworn­in
tomorrow afternoon, Mayor­elect
Dan Gordon is proposing anew
climate change and
sustainability portfolio, while the
roadingportfolio will be split into
localroading and regional
transport.
Mr Gordon plans to take the
lead on regionaltransport.
‘‘I want to support the local
issues and the wider regional
issues likethe (Woodend)bypass
and NZTA (New Zealand
TransportAgency) investment
into addressingtraffic congestion
and the motorway.
‘‘We have alot of big projects
that we need investmentinand
that includes passenger
transport.’’
Mr Gordon says it will be a
goodfit, as it is recommended
thatthe mayor sits on the Greater
Christchurch Public Transport
Committee and theRegional
Transport Committee, and
former mayor David Ayers
served on both.
He says climate change is a
growing concern which requires
someleadership.
‘‘It’s certainly an issuewhich
we needtokeep oureyes on and
there’s work being done by
council staff in this space,soit’s
important for council to provide
someleadershipand keep on top
of that.’’
Mr Gordon had abusy first

resultswere announced on
October12, moving intothe
mayor’s office the following
Monday and meetingwith all 10
newly elected councillors
individuallyduring the week.
‘‘I’ve had somereallygood
discussions and we’vetalked
about what each of their interests
are.
‘‘We’ve got threenew

and theyare all going to do agood
job in the roles Iwill give them.’’
Oncesworn in tomorrow, the
councillors willselectadeputy
mayor and vote on Mr Gordon’s
portfolio recommendations.
Mr Gordonsays he has met
with Kevin Felstead,following
theelection resultwhich saw the
former deputymayor losehis
seat aroundthe council table.
‘‘I’m sad for Kevin because he’s
beenalong­term colleague and a
friend.’’
He has alsomet with Mr Ayers
duringhis first week and says he
is ‘‘very thankful for his advice’’.
He also met the new members
across the district’s four
communityboards.
‘‘Wedid an inductionduring
the week. They are an impressive
bunch and there’s alot of
youngerboard members and
there’s more women on the
council.’’
Mr Gordonbelievesheisthe

history. He will celebrate his 44th

Imported pair hailed
for their calm nature
By SHELLEY TOPP
ANew Zealand­born Australian
stockman is establishing an Australian
heritage stock horse stud farm in
Fernside.
John Bolstad spent 30 years working as
astockman on cattle stations in
Australia where he learnt the value of
heritage stock horses.
‘‘They are aunique breed with acalm
nature, he says. ‘‘They are incredibly
versatile, reasonably new to New
Zealand, and can be used for farm work,
polo, polocrosse, dressage, eventing,
pony club events and recreational
riding.
‘‘Their temperament is absolutely
impeccable,’’ he says.
John returned to New Zealand in
January after being given the choice of a
‘‘lengthy jail sentence or being
deported’’ for owning an unlicensed
firearm.
The .22 rifle was part of alicensed
collection and not registering it was a
simple oversight, he says. ‘‘OK, Ishould
have had it licensed. It was ablunder on
my part.’’
He moved to Balcairn first, then to a
small farm in Fernside and decided to
import two heritage stock horse
stallions, Stranraer Response HSH and
Bolstad Super Smooth HSH, to establish
his stud farm.
He has already had interest in the
stallions and is hoping they will attract a
wide range of mares.
‘‘Both my stallions are well behaved
and easy to handle and both have thrown
the same traits in their progeny.’’
People interested in checking out the
stallions can do so on John’s Bolstad
Stock Horses Facebook page.

Finishing touches added
It’s all hands on deck at the CustCraft
Group, as members race to finish their
works before its next big fundraiser and
craft display.
This year will be the group’s third event.
The first raised money for the Cust
Museum and the secondhelped the Oxford
Cancer SupportGroup.
This year’s chosen charitiesare Riding
for the Disabled and Rachel’s House Trust,
in Rangiora, established to support young
parents.
Interest in handicrafts such as thosethat
will be on show next month is alive and
well in North Canterbury,says group
member Ricki Sullivan, of Okuku.
She says the group’s membership is on
the rise as younger people discover the
satisfaction that comes from creating
beautifulthings using old­fashioned skills.
Its growing congregation includes those
passionate about cross­stitch, quilting,
crocheting, knitting, embroidery, sewing,
scrapbooking and card­making.
Currently numbering around 40, they

month, from 10am to 3pm, filling the Cust
Community Centrewith a‘‘reallycool
vibe’’.
‘‘We’re pretty much agroup without
rules—wejust all get on. The exciting
thingisthat we see new people turning up
prettymuch every fortnight,’’ Ricki says.
‘‘We’re all busy women, but we love
handicrafts,and sharing our projects and
ideas. Sometimes, we book the community
bus and go out to look at what other groups
are doing; other times, we might arrange
for guests to come along to talk to us.’’
In choosing where the proceeds from its
fundraising goes, the grouplooks for
charities that receive littleornosupport
from the government. ‘‘Those are the kinds
of opportunitieswherethe community can
reallystep in to help.’’
This year’s Cust Craft Group fundraiser
is scheduled for November 3, in the
village’s St James Church and hall. There
will be asales table,and six raffles.
For those of acrafty inclination,
however, the main drawcard will be the
widerange of handiwork on show.
As well as focusing on the eye health and frame styling needs of the community,
the team at Specsavers Rangiora also like tocelebrate milestones with customers.
On Sunday 1September, the store celebrated its third birthday and the team
provided customers with giveaways and delicious cupcakes along with their
outstanding level ofservice. During the store’s birthday month, the team gave
one lucky customer the chance to win the value of their purchase back.
Local Rangiora resident, Sarah, was delighted tolearn she had won. “I love my
new frames and the updated style in both my clear pair and sunglasses”.
The team at Specsavers Rangiora cares about the health of all the eyes in
Rangiora and welcomes locals to book acomprehensive eye test with one
of their fully qualified optometrists. Every eye test includes an advanced 3D
eye scan that helps the optometrists detect serious eye diseases including
glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinal changes that might beassociated
with diabetes.

Emily’sconfidence-builder
By ROBYN BRISTOW
North Canterbury’s Emily Sullivan has had
arapid rise in the world of pageants.
She is off to Mexico in January to appear
on the international stage —the second
time in just three years she has
represented New Zealand internationally.
Emily was crowned the regional Miss
Five Crowns New Zealand, in 2017, was the
Miss Five Crowns New Zealand Charity
Ambassador in 2018­2019, and, following
selection to travel to the Oceania Miss
World Supermodel production in Vietnam
last September, was recently awarded the
Miss Global New Zealand title.
She is now off to Mexico to compete for
the world title against around 55 other
contestants and is hard at work fundraising
to help her to contest the title.
Emily, an aspiring actress who studied at
the National Academy of Singing and
Dramatic Arts in Christchurch, says the
journey has been life­changing.
She says she has come along way from
being ayoung girl who lacked
confidence.
It was the charity work that attracted
Emily to getting afoothold in the contest,
and since then she says her confidence in
herself has grown. She is a‘‘huge
advocate’’ of women’s rights and says if you
are passionate about something, you have
to do it.
‘‘When Iwant something Ichase it with
all my heart,’’ says Emily, who is apersonal
consultant at Anytime Fitness in Rangiora.
The pageant involves modelling, charity
work, public engagements and
photography.
‘‘It is not all about who is the prettiest. It
is deeper than that. It’s about the person,’’
she says.
Emily says there is alot of hard work
involved and she has to fund herself. But
her love of New Zealand and putting it on
the map spurs her on.
National title ... Emily Sullivan was crowned Miss Global New Zealand.

KAIAPOI RSA CENTENARY
The North Canterbury News, October 24, 2019

First meeting in drill hall
By DAVID HILL
The Kaiapoi RSA is preparing
to mark 100 years of serving its
soldiers and theirfamilies.
The local group’s 75th
jubilee history,published in
1994,records that the Kaiapoi
RSA was formed as asubbranch
of the Christchurch
ReturnedSoldiers’ Association
on July 24, 1919, before
becoming incorporatedinits
own rightonOctober 28, 1919.
The Kaiapoi RSA’s minutes
record thatthe inaugural
meeting was held in the
Kaiapoi Defence Drill Hall at
8pm that day,with 50 returned
soldiers present.
Captain William Henry Stark
was elected the first chairman.
AucklandMuseum’s online
cenotaph recordsthat Captain
Starkwas born at Southbrook
on April 6, 1890, andlater
farmed in the Kaiapoi area
before being enlisted.
He embarked on the HMNZS
Pakeha,arriving in Plymouth,
England, in July1917.
He was sent to France in
September, where he joined
the third Canterbury Battalion
infantry regiment.
Laterattached to the fourth
FieldCompany Engineers, he
attainedthe rank of captain in
May 1918.
Captain Stark served as
Kaiapoi RSA president from
1919 to 1920, and againfrom
1940 to 1946.
The Kaiapoi RSA’s original
executive also included vicepresidentCaptain­Chaplain
W.
Ready, secretary S.J.
McPherson,treasurer E.G.
Gray,executive members T.R.
Gibson and H.D. Cooksley
(bothKaiapoi), J. Stokes
(Waikuku), R. Patterson (East
Eyreton),F.Sheppard
(Woodend) and T. Bowers
(Ohoka).
Theminutes record that, at
theinaugural meeting,
Christchurch RSA executive
members explained the aims
of the RSA and ‘‘that it was
imperative for the soldiers to
stick together’’.
TheChristchurch RSA was
thefirstRSA formed in New
Zealand, in 1916.
TheKaiapoi RSA’s second
president was Dr Maxwell
Ramsay, who lived from 1888 to
1937. He is remembered by a
sundial which has beenplaced
at the memorialreservein
Raven Quay, next to the
KaiapoiCenotaph.
ThefirstAnzac Day service
andparade was hosted by the
KaiapoiRSA in 1921
Over the years, the RSA held
its meetings at various venues,
including the Kaiapoi
Volunteer FireBrigade’s
social rooms,the KaiapoiCycle
Club’s rooms, the ‘‘old school
building’’,the drill hall,the
Orange Hall and the Borough
Hall.
In September1945 the
KaiapoiRSA purchasedthe
old Forresters’ Hall,which
served as its baseuntil it was
sold in 1990.
The RSA has had ‘‘a
longstanding friendship’’with
the Kaiapoi Workingmen’s
Club, which hasbeen its main
venue since the 1990s.
Membership has always
been strong, with85members
signed up by 1923.
The women’s section was
formed in 1941, with Mrs M.
Richards elected its first president.
Sheserveduntil 1954.

Welfare is crucial
By DAVID HILL
Welfare remainsabig part of what the
Kaiapoi RSA does to support its members.
KerryMcCabe, who shares welfare
duties withvice­president Jamie Morton,
says providing welfare to today’s returned
servicemen and servicewomen remains a
challenge.
‘‘People often think RSAs are about
glorifyingwar, but it’s not,’’ president Neill
Pricesays. ‘‘It’s about remembering, and
the welfare of our members; and welfare is
abig part of whatwedo. We are so
appreciative of the generosity of the
Kaiapoi community on Poppy Day.
‘‘That enables us to carry out welfare
work for returned and service veterans.’’
Mrs McCabe saysmost of today’s welfare
work involves supportingyoungersoldiers
returning fromwar zonessuch as
Afghanistanand Iraq,with many suffering
from post­traumatic stress injuries (PTSI).
‘‘Although it’sour centennial, we
shouldn’t losesightofour objective,which
is to lookafter our veterans and their
widows,’’ she says. ‘‘It’sabig part of what
we do and, more than ever, you have these
young guysreturning fromAfghanistan
and Iraq trying to return to daily life after
what they have seen and experienced.’’
Mr Morton does home visits in the
weekends to support the younger veterans,
as well as the old soldiers, while Mrs
McCabedoes advocacy work.
WeeklyRSA gatherings on Friday
evenings at the Kaiapoi Clubalso provide
an opportunity to check on members.
‘‘The mainthingis, we arealwaysthere
and we are only aphone callaway. And if
anyoneknows of someone who needs
support, you can get in contact,’’Mrs
McCabesays.
To contactthe Kaiapoi RSA’s welfare
section, phoneKerryMcCabe on (03)

Armistice Day to be marked
The end of WorldWar 1, 101years ago, will
be marked in Kaiapoi. The Kaiapoi RSA
will host its annual Armistice Day service
at the Kaiapoi Cenotaph on the 11th hour
of the 11th day of the 11thmonth, on
Monday, November11.
The annualservice marksthe official
end of WW1.
Kaiapoi RSA presidentNeill Pricesays
the local community is invited to attend.
‘‘We encourage the publicand local
organisationstocome along and we invite
them to bring someflowers or awreath to
placeonthe cenotaph.’’
He says the serviceisachancetohonour
Kaiapoi’s soldiers who served in WW1.
Amongthose who returned was Mr Price’s
father­in­law, Private A.E. Sheppard.
‘‘My father­in­law servedatGallipoli and
lateratthe Somme,where he was
repatriated home.’’
Mr Price saysthe nurses who servedin
WW1 should not be forgotten either,
particularly10New Zealand nurses who
lost theirlives during the sinking of the
Marquette troop ship on October 23, 1915.
There was one local nurse on board,
Mary LouiseChristmas,ofOhoka, who
survived the sinking.
SisterChristmasserved in the 21st
general hospital in Alexandriaand
received the Associate Royal Red Cross
medal for her efforts.
She laterreturned to Canterbury after
the war and worked at Christchurch
Hospital training nursing students.
Christmas Road at Ohoka was named after
her grandfather.
The Marquette was torpedoedbya
submarine in the Aegean Sea, with32New
Zealanders drowning.
Several of the 10 nurseshad trained at
Christchurch Hospital, which led to the
Nurses’ MemorialChapel being built.

She won her debut at Rangiora Raceway
on Sunday, May 26, in atrack­record time
and was equallyimpressivewinningher
next race, alsoatRangiora, on Sunday,
July 7.
Sky Vale’s performance earned her the
Rangiora Harness RacingClub’s Horse of

percent starters­to­winners ratiofor the
season.
Glenn,who works for Rangiora trainer
Mitchell Kerr in the mornings,bred the
AucklandReactormare and shares
ownership of her withhis partner Jodi
Kennedy. He also did all the early work
with the mare,qualifying her at Rangiora
andthen givingher along spell before her
first race start.
Sky Valetrialled well before her race
debut and was the favourite to win on her
HARNESS RACING
home track. Glennwas hopeful of astrong
run from her but she went way beyond
that, clearing out at the finish to win by
eight lengths. She then topped thatoff with
another win in her secondcareer start a
month later. ‘‘It was amazing. Ithoughtshe
would be competitivebut to win the way
she did on our hometrack was very special
and it was fantastic to get Horse of the
Year,’’ Glenn said.
Glenn alsobred Sky Vale’s dam’
Countess Vale, whosedam Suzy Vale was
bred by his parents Ian and Cara Gillard.
Ian was atrainer formany years in
Rangiora,preparing ahost of winners,
including Blue Vale, PacificVale, Lilly
Vale, NiftyNekey, Canasta Starand

Sky Vale,now aged 4, was given another
spell after her second win ‘‘to allow her to

Trotting showpiece to be on world stage
By DAVID HILL
The Kaikoura Cup has gone global.
The iconic Kaikoura Trotting Club’s
annual race meeting has caught the
attention of United States television
journalist and harness racing celebrity
Heather Vitale.
Vice­president Grant Anderson says
Heather has contacted the club to say
she will attend the two­day race meeting
at South Bay Racecourse, Kaikoura,
on Sunday and Monday, November 3and
4.

‘‘She has abig following in harness
racing in America and she has heard
about our event and wishes to come to
the Kaikoura Cup.
‘‘She’s probably seen the TV footage
and thought, ‘wow, that’s unbelievable, I
want to go’. So Ithink we will get
enormous coverage in America this
year.’’
Grant says the Kaikoura Cup already
has astrong following in Australia,
where it is screened on Sky One.
‘‘It’s aspecial day and we’ve had afew
Australian horses over the years
because they come over and want arun
before the New Zealand Cup.’’
Australian­owned horse Arden
Rooney won the Kaikoura Cup in 2014
and 2015.
Last year’s winner was Spankem,
which was trained by well­known
Canterbury­based trainers Mark Purdon
and Natalie Rasmussen.
This year’s race meeting will feature
six races on the Sunday, followed by 10
on the Monday, including two Group 2
races with $50,000 in prize money for the
winners.
The race meeting is just aweek before
the New Zealand Cup meeting at
Addington, Christchurch, on Tuesday,
November 12.
‘‘I think it will work out better for us
because there will be people who want
to give their horse aproper race before
the New Zealand Cup,’’ Grant says.
‘‘There’s nothing like race fitness.’’
This year there is arace meeting in
Methven on Friday, November 1, so the
Kaikoura Trotting Cup is offering extra
incentives to lure horses to Kaikoura for
Sunday’s races.
The first five placed horses will
receive prize money, while the
remaining horses will receive a$100
travel subsidy to assist with expenses to
attend on Sunday only.
‘‘Monday is such abig day and it won’t
be affected. But offering alittle bit extra
on Sunday just offers an extra incentive
to come to Kaikoura,’’ Grant says.
‘‘Everything costs money these days,
so anything we can do to try to increase
the numbers of horses, the better it is for
the club.’’
Entry is by gold coin on Sunday, with

Hazard policy reviewed
Kaikoura residents are beingencouraged
to havetheirsay on naturalhazards.
As partofits District Plan Review, the
Kaikoura District Council is reviewing its
natural hazards policy.
The November 2016 earthquake
created newhazards,highlighted existing
ones, andbrought to lightthe risks of
liquefaction, landslipsand fault lines.
Since theearthquake,geotech work has
helpedtoidentifydifferent zoneswithin
the district,such as where liquefaction
may affect largeareas, zones where it is
possible,and zones where it is unlikely.
Thisworkalso identified parts of the
districtatriskfromlandslipsand fault
lines.
Meanwhileincreasing weather
extremes means the community could
faceanincreased risk of flooding,which
can cause disruption to roading networks
and potentially isolate the townand
surrounding area.
The District Plan is thecouncil’s
planning rule book for buildingand
development. Thecouncil hasnew
scienceavailable on flooding,
liquefaction, landslipsand active faults.

•Dairy conversions •Stumping, root raking •Galleries
•Effluent ponds &water storage •Cowlanes &farm tracks
•Land Clearance &general earthworks
•Subdivisions &siteworks •Laser Level Accuracy
This willhelp in draftingnew rules for
thenatural hazards chapter of the District
Plan.
Through the District Plan,the council
andcommunity can determine where and
howfuture developmentisallowed,
outline community plans for natural
hazards such as floodsand earthquakes
and‘‘developthe kind of communitywe
want to leave ourchildren’’, acouncil

‘‘Sincethe 2016earthquake the council
hasbeen updating whatweknowabout

‘‘Nowweneed thecommunity’shelpto

Residentscan join the conversation and
help createthe futureKaikouraby

Theworkshops arebeingheldacross
thedistrict to discuss flooding,landslips,
liquefaction andactive faultlines, and
what these may mean forhomes,
businesses andbuildings.

Council’s website.
Opposition to urban policy
More of New Zealand’s natural treasures
could go under the bulldozerifthe
government adopts an urban development
policy as proposed, says Forest &Bird.
The proposed National Policy Statement
on Urban Developmentwould allow
councilstoignore environmental impacts
as they fast­track housing and business
developments, the group says.
The policy says councils must provide
for higher density development in areas of
high demand, but it is silentonthe need to
safeguard the environment from this
development, the organisation says.
It fears parts of the Resource
Management Act could be overridden by
the new urban development policy,
eroding environmentalprotections.
‘‘At the moment, regional and district
councilsmust protect important
indigenous species and their habitats, our
coasts and waterways, and outstanding
natural landscapes—that’s required
under the Resource Management Act,’’ it
says.
‘‘Some of those protections will be lost if
this new policy is adopted, because its
focusissolelyonenabling development.’’
Forest &Bird has made asubmission on
the proposed policy, calling for no
reduction in the protection of native
biodiversity and the naturalenvironment.
‘‘We want to make sure it’s not possible
for councils to allow developers to destroy
the habitats of rare nativebirds and bats,
for example.’’ Forest &Bird also opposes
part of the policyallowing greenfields to
be developed without consideration of the
environmental impacts.

Fonterrachairman John Monaghan says
the co­operative had been achievinggood
prices for its milk so far thisseason.
‘‘Demand for whole milk powderhas
been firm, and for the full seasonwe’re
expecting it to be abovelast year.

Chiefexecutive Miles Hurrell says there
are positive signals for the milk price.
‘‘It is still very earlyinthe season and a

‘‘There are anumber of factors we are

retained awide forecast milkprice range.
Thesefactors include global tradetensions
and political instability in someofour key

‘‘And, as is always the case, we cannot

Farmers take ahit from loss
By SHELLEY TOPP
Fonterra’s announcement of a
$605 million loss for the 2018/19
financial year delivered ahuge
hit to the company’s farmershareholders.
However the loss, hard on the
heels a$196m loss for the
previous year, will not put
farmers out of business, North
Canterbury Federated Farmers
president Cameron Henderson
says.
‘‘Their share value and
dividend return have taken areal
hit,’’ he says. ‘‘However, the
share value is only an issue if
farmers are looking to sell shares
and most aren’t.
‘‘The dividend will have a
negative cashflow impact and
will be where the most pain will
be felt.
‘‘Overall, though, the milk
price is very healthy this year so
the Fonterra loss won’t be
putting farmers out of business.’’
He also believes that Fonterra’s
hefty losses do not make the
company vulnerable to an
overseas takeover bid, similar to
the successful acquisition of
Westland Milk by Chinese dairy
giant Yili last August.
‘‘Fonterra is afarmer­owned
co­operative so would require
the approval of abuyout from its
farmer­suppliers, similar to
Westland,’’ Cameron says.
‘‘However, the financial
situation of Fonterra and its
farmers is very different to
Westland so Idonot see any
mood among shareholders to sell
the co­op.’’
The losses at Fonterra are
Huge hit ... Fonterra’s loss will deliver ahit to farmers.
mostly related to its
international investments losing
value and having to be revalued
lower.
Although Cameron is not a
Fonterra shareholder, he says
critics have argued that the
losses on foreign investments
were aresult of apoor strategy
and bad investment decisions
astray from the core capabilities
of the business.
‘‘However the day­to­day
operating of the business is still
very successful, so hopefully the
losses are short­lived.’’
Despite the losses, Cameron
believes farmers still have
confidence in Fonterra’s
management, which has
FILE PHOTO
undergone significant change in
recent years, with anew
chairman, some new directors,
and anew chief executive and
leadership team appointed.
‘‘The first step in fixing a
problem is admitting you have
one, which Fonterra has finally
done in writing down the value of
the business. The next step is
finding anew strategy that plays
to the strengths of the business.
‘‘This strategy has been
announced so now just needs
some fine­tuning and good
execution.
‘‘The farmers Ihave talked to
back the direction of the new
strategy and the new CEO Miles
Hurrell to deliver it.’’
Michaela set to put
stamp on field days
By DAVID HILL
Michaela McLeod is proudto
be leading afamily­friendly
committee as preparations
get under way for the 2021
SouthIsland Agricultural
FieldDays.
The Darfield­based
businesswoman and mother
of two is the organising
committee’s first
chairwoman.
Michaela willpreside over
the 2021 field days at the
Kirwee site, near
Christchurch.
‘‘I have kindofwanted to
do the role for some time, so
I’ve beenlearningasmuch
as Ican.
‘‘I’mreally lookingforward
to the challenge.’’
She has aBachelor of
AgriculturalScience with
honours fromLincoln
University and runs an
independent agricultural
research trials business with
her husband, Ben.
The couplehave two
children, Joe, aged3and
Harriet, aged8months.
‘‘Joeistractor crazy and I
thinkit’s quite goodfor kids
to see you in arole other
than being aparent, so Itake
them to meetings and
working bees.
‘‘We are pretty familyfriendly.
‘‘A lot of our members have
youngfamilies and bring
theirkids along to meetings
and days at thesite.’’
Whilemost members
graduated from New
Zealand YoungFarmers,
Michaela followed aslightly
different path.
‘‘I was working for
Seedforce and the engineer
who was fixing thethingsI
kept breakingwas on the
organising committee, so he
askedmeifIwould get
involved.’’
That was nine years ago
and she has held various
roles, including helpingout
on the gate and car parking,
organising the agriinnovation
awards, catering,
and running the lifestyle
section.
‘‘Sometimes you’vegot to
take on the challengeand
see how you go. The main
thingishaving the support of
the committee and we have a
committee of 25 volunteers
and they’re all such hard
workers.They get stuck in
and they allenjoy doing it.’’
Michaela would like to see
more women get involved.
‘‘Theethos is on professional
development through the
planningand organisingof
the event, so it’s such agreat
opportunity.’’
Michaela saysover the
next few months she would
like to investigatethe
possibility of developing a
fielddays app.

The North Canterbury News, October 24, 2019
SCAR funding to assist with falling land
33
Farmers in the Hurunui and Kaikoura
districts dealing with erosion­prone land
are eligiblefor funding to help assist them
in reducing movement of sediment down
hillsides and into waterways.
Co­funded by Environment Canterbury
and the Ministry for Primary Industries,
and working closelywith other groups
such as the Hurunui District Land Care
Group and the Post Quake Farminggroup
in Kaikoura, the SCARproject (Soil
Conservationand Regeneration) aims to
help farmers with erosion­prone land
carry out planting, retire hillsides in
native vegetation, refine mapping
resources and create strong working
relationships and shared learning spaces.
‘‘Stabilisingthe hillside and reverting
Targeting nitrogen

areas back to their natural stateprovides
arange of benefits for the surrounding
area and wider environment, such as the
ETS, carbon credits,enhancing stream
health, benefiting mahinga kai, increasing
bee habitat and biodiversitycorridors, and
maybe even increasing opportunities in
the tourism sector,’’ says Andrew Arps,
ECan zone manager.
Localfarmer, councillor and Kaikoura
Water ZoneCommittee member Tony
Blunt, hosted afield day on his property
recently.
Around 30 people attended,all
interested in seeingthe SCAR project in
action.
‘‘Our SCAR plantings should
significantly reduce soil loss to waterways
from earthquake damage to the steep hilly
parts of our property. Thepoles are
beneficialinkeeping the hill on thehill,
especiallywhen it comestoretaining
valuable topsoil on these areas. The trees
will helpgrow our soil carbon,increase
the soilswater holding capacity,produce
beneficialsoil biomassand furtherreduce
the effects of drought,’’ Tony says.
‘‘So far we have planted 600 poplar poles
on 12 hectares of land, none of whichwill
be retired. We aim to plant another 20­30
hectares as poles become available, and
an additional 50 hectaresinnatives that
will be retired.Wewill be abletoreceive
carbon credits and still be able to graze it.
‘‘On top of this, we will be able to
coppice the trees and harvest more poles
for future planting and thin them alittle
for stock feed during adrought,’’ Tony
says. ‘‘Through SCAR, we have saved over
$7000 so far, bringing the cost down per
pole and protector from around $16 to
$4.40.
Mr Arps is pleasedwith the progress of
the project, but aims to raisemore
awarenessfor how farmerscan seek
assistance. ‘‘Whatweare finding is that
farmers are wanting the opportunity to
implement this programme over more
than one year, whichisfantastic,’’ he says.
‘‘We are hoping to spread the word
about the range of benefits resulting from
this programme, andreally want to ensure
we reach farmers who are facing erosion
challenges butaren’t sure whattodo.’’
FarmersPaul and Ann Jarman
run Essendon,a400­hectare
dairy farm at Greendale, in
central Canterbury.
SupplyingWestland Milk
Products, Essendon is milking
860 cross­bred cowsand
includes afully self­contained
block for winteringand
growing out young stock. About
two­thirdsofthe 400haisa
milking platform.
The Jarmans areconnected
to Stage 2ofthe CentralPlains
Water (CPW), ahigh­pressure,
piped irrigation scheme
covering much of central
Canterbury.
Sustainability and
minimisingthe environmental
footprint of the farm is thekey
driver to decision­making
regarding farm management
practices. Essendon is
monitoring some paddocks
weeklytoget an accurate fix on
moisture and irrigation
requirements to minimise
nitrate losses.
Working withtheir contract
milker, Paul and Ann are also
using CRV Ambreedgeneticsto
helpreducethe farm’s nitrogen
footprint. The companyhas
research indicating LowN
Sires genetics couldcut a
farmer’s nitrate losses by 20
percent over several
generationsofbreeding.
CRV Ambreed’s LowN Sires
programme is based on
breeding dairy cows with lower
levels of milk urea, whichis
expected to reduceurinary
nitrogen.
Paulsaid he was preparedto
invest in the genetics, knowing
the importanceofreducing
their nitrogen footprint under
planning regulations. He
likened opting for LowNSires
to Merinobreeding, the career
he pursuedpassionatelybefore
starting adairy conversion in
2013.
‘‘You get agood fineflockby
measuring, testing and
weighing.The same is true for
yourapproachtothe dairy
industry;you’vegot to have
good, objective,performancebased
selectionofsires.And
that’s where the whole AI in
New Zealand comes from.’’
Theystarted using bulls from
the LowN Sires programme
two years ago,soon afteritwas
launched. The firstyearling
calves fromLowN Sires will be
on the groundfor mating this
yearand they areconfident it
willhelp them to hittheir
Paul and Ann Jarman
targets for nitrogen reduction.
‘‘It’s part of along­time
project to achieve what we
want to achieve over what’s
probably a20­yearperiod.In
the fullness of time, it could be
quitehelpful,’’ Paul says.
CRV Ambreed head
geneticist Phil Beatson says a
dairycow ate about 180kg of
nitrogenayearasplant
protein.About30kg endedup
as milkand alittle bit to body
maintenance andgrowth. Of
the remainder, about 75­80kg
was excretedasurinary
nitrogenand the restwas
excretedasfaeces.
On averagearound 20%
(16kg) of this urinary nitrogen
endedupbeing leached into
groundwater.
Importantly,asmallamount
of the nitrogeninurineis
converted to nitrous oxide—a
long­lasting greenhouse gas.
Reducing urinary nitrogen was
critical to reducing both
leaching and greenhouse gas
emissions, Mr Beatson says.
As CPW shareholders,
Essendon operates under a
company­auditedfarm
managementplan. The owners
and their manager were
pleasedtoreceive an Agrade
firstup, with no
recommendations.
‘‘Now, with pivot technology
on mostofthe farm, we can
applythesesmall amounts
little and often.Aslong as you
haven’tgot water leaching
through the soil profile, there’s
avery good chance you haven’t
got any nitrogenleaching
through,’’Paul says.
With irrigationplans under
control,the remaining risk for
nitrate leaching is in winter,
when there’s higher rainfall.
The farm had also been using
plantaininits pasture and had
a‘‘little and often’’ approach to
fertiliser use,based on Lincoln
University dairy farm results.
