Workshop to tackle social isolation<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Social connectedness remains<br />
achallenge for many in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

Waimakariri District<br />
Council community<br />
development adviser<br />
Madeleine Burdon,who chairs<br />
the group,says asocially<br />
inclusivesociety is where<br />
people feelvalued, their<br />

their basicneedsare met,‘‘so<br />
thatthey can live in dignity’’.<br />
The groupwas established in<br />

‘‘The challenges and<br />
barrierscreating social<br />
isolation have notchanged<br />
much in 12 years—indeed,<br />
some new concernshave<br />
emerged, including rapid<br />
populationgrowth.<br />
‘‘We are championing what’s<br />
already out there and<br />
exploring new opportunities to<br />
address isolation, and we’re<br />
keen to hearwhat people are<br />
doing.’’<br />
She says social isolation can<br />
be caused by severalfactors<br />
and not justbymoving to anew<br />
community, or due to getting<br />
olderorlosing mobility.<br />
‘‘It could be achange in life<br />
situation. It could be someone<br />
who has retiredorlost their<br />
job, or you’velost yourspouse.’’<br />

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

The council’s manager of<br />
finance and business support,<br />
JeffMillward, says the QV<br />
rating valuationsdon’t<br />
increase how much the<br />
council collectsfor rates,but<br />
can affect the distribution of<br />
rates.<br />
‘‘Rates are one source of<br />
council income,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Revaluation doesn’t<br />
increase the amount council<br />
collectsfrom rates, but it helps<br />
workout everyone’s share.’’<br />
Also, the revaluation only<br />

impact on rates setbyfixed<br />

‘‘Rating levels dependon<br />
funding decisions made by the<br />

‘‘Wewon’t know until the<br />

the new property values will<br />
affect individualrates,’’ Mr<br />

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

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

Parnassus, paid $10,000 to a<br />
surveyor to prove part of the<br />

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

Why birds of afeather<br />
cause havoc together<br />
By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />
It’s starling season and nestbuilding<br />
is well under way.<br />
Of course, it’s not just<br />
starlings getting creative with<br />
straw, but because they tend<br />
to build in enclosed spaces —<br />
from ceilings where they can<br />
get in under the tin to engine<br />
housings —they are the birds<br />
that tend to pose the greatest<br />
fire risk.<br />
Cust fire chief Peter<br />
Clements says it is<br />
particularly important to<br />
check all engine bays for bird<br />
nests if avehicle hasn’t been<br />
run for awhile.<br />
Tractors are at big risk in<br />
this regard.<br />
‘‘Birds are aproblem every<br />
year at this time, but they<br />
seem to be particularly bad<br />
this year,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Most farmers are aware of<br />
the issue and we tend to leave<br />
bonnets open on our tractors,<br />
as that means it’s too light for<br />
the birds to nest.<br />
‘‘In fact, some farmers take<br />
their tractor bonnets off<br />
altogether over spring.’’<br />
Another potential problem<br />
centres around nests built<br />
around outside lights on a<br />
veranda or deck, and around<br />
chimneys —especially if the<br />
weather remains abit cool.<br />
Barbecues can be ahazard,<br />
too, if nesting material has<br />
fallen in around the burners.<br />
Nests in letterboxes are not<br />

Highway<br />
upgrade<br />
completed<br />
Ahighrisk stretch of highway<br />
between Waipara and<br />
Waikari has had its $3.5<br />
millionupgrade completed.<br />
Between 2008 and 2018 one<br />
persondied and 12 were<br />
seriously hurt in crashes on<br />
this part of State Highway 7.<br />
The improvements were<br />
completed last month and it<br />
is hopedthe work willmake<br />
the road safer for motorists,<br />
The New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency’s director<br />
of regional relationships, Jim<br />
Harland, says the stretch is<br />
part of akey freight route<br />
between Picton and<br />
Christchurch.<br />
‘‘It gets busy with local<br />
people and travellers,<br />
particularlyaround holiday<br />
time, as it leads to the turnoff<br />
to Hanmer Springs,through<br />
to the West Coast and also<br />
Nelson andPicton.<br />
‘‘Safety barriers havebeen<br />
added on the highway to help<br />
prevent runoffroad crashes<br />
and rumble strips have been<br />
installed to wakeup drivers<br />
asleep at the steering wheel.’’<br />
Sealed shoulders in frontof<br />
new safety barriers will give<br />
drivers who lose control more<br />
room to recover. Improved<br />
signagehas been installed,<br />
and betterroad markings<br />
make it easier for driver to<br />
see at night and in the wet.<br />

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

Incoming mayor aims to lead on regional transport<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Climate change and regional<br />
transportare the prioritiesfor<br />
Waimakariri’s new mayor.<br />
As he prepares to be swornin<br />
tomorrow afternoon, Mayorelect<br />
Dan Gordon is proposing anew<br />
climate change and<br />
sustainability portfolio, while the<br />
roadingportfolio will be split into<br />
localroading and regional<br />
transport.<br />
Mr Gordon plans to take the<br />
lead on regionaltransport.<br />
‘‘I want to support the local<br />
issues and the wider regional<br />
issues likethe (Woodend)bypass<br />
and NZTA (New Zealand<br />
TransportAgency) investment<br />
into addressingtraffic congestion<br />
and the motorway.<br />
‘‘We have alot of big projects<br />
that we need investmentinand<br />
that includes passenger<br />
transport.’’<br />
Mr Gordon says it will be a<br />
goodfit, as it is recommended<br />
thatthe mayor sits on the Greater<br />
Christchurch Public Transport<br />
Committee and theRegional<br />
Transport Committee, and<br />
former mayor David Ayers<br />
served on both.<br />
He says climate change is a<br />
growing concern which requires<br />
someleadership.<br />
‘‘It’s certainly an issuewhich<br />
we needtokeep oureyes on and<br />
there’s work being done by<br />
council staff in this space,soit’s<br />
important for council to provide<br />
someleadershipand keep on top<br />
of that.’’<br />
Mr Gordon had abusy first<br />
week, after theprovisional<br />
resultswere announced on<br />
<strong>October</strong>12, moving intothe<br />
mayor’s office the following<br />
Monday and meetingwith all 10<br />
newly elected councillors<br />
individuallyduring the week.<br />
‘‘I’ve had somereallygood<br />
discussions and we’vetalked<br />
about what each of their interests<br />
are.<br />
‘‘We’ve got threenew<br />
Dan Gordon ...<br />
The new mayor<br />
had abusy first<br />
week.<br />
councillors, one in each ward,<br />
and theyare all going to do agood<br />
job in the roles Iwill give them.’’<br />
Oncesworn in tomorrow, the<br />
councillors willselectadeputy<br />
mayor and vote on Mr Gordon’s<br />
portfolio recommendations.<br />
Mr Gordonsays he has met<br />
with Kevin Felstead,following<br />
theelection resultwhich saw the<br />
former deputymayor losehis<br />
seat aroundthe council table.<br />
‘‘I’m sad for Kevin because he’s<br />
beenalongterm colleague and a<br />
friend.’’<br />
He has alsomet with Mr Ayers<br />
duringhis first week and says he<br />
is ‘‘very thankful for his advice’’.<br />
He also met the new members<br />
across the district’s four<br />
communityboards.<br />
‘‘Wedid an inductionduring<br />
the week. They are an impressive<br />
bunch and there’s alot of<br />
youngerboard members and<br />
there’s more women on the<br />
council.’’<br />

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

Finishing touches added<br />
It’s all hands on deck at the CustCraft<br />
Group, as members race to finish their<br />
works before its next big fundraiser and<br />
craft display.<br />
This year will be the group’s third event.<br />
The first raised money for the Cust<br />
Museum and the secondhelped the Oxford<br />
Cancer SupportGroup.<br />
This year’s chosen charitiesare Riding<br />
for the Disabled and Rachel’s House Trust,<br />
in Rangiora, established to support young<br />
parents.<br />
Interest in handicrafts such as thosethat<br />
will be on show next month is alive and<br />
well in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>,says group<br />
member Ricki Sullivan, of Okuku.<br />
She says the group’s membership is on<br />
the rise as younger people discover the<br />
satisfaction that comes from creating<br />
beautifulthings using oldfashioned skills.<br />
Its growing congregation includes those<br />
passionate about crossstitch, quilting,<br />
crocheting, knitting, embroidery, sewing,<br />
scrapbooking and cardmaking.<br />
Currently numbering around 40, they<br />
meet on the firstand third Tuesdays each<br />
Fundraiser<br />
... An<br />
array of<br />
handicraft<br />
creations<br />
will feature<br />
in the<br />
upcoming<br />
display.<br />
month, from 10am to 3pm, filling the Cust<br />
Community Centrewith a‘‘reallycool<br />
vibe’’.<br />
‘‘We’re pretty much agroup without<br />
rules—wejust all get on. The exciting<br />
thingisthat we see new people turning up<br />
prettymuch every fortnight,’’ Ricki says.<br />
‘‘We’re all busy women, but we love<br />
handicrafts,and sharing our projects and<br />
ideas. Sometimes, we book the community<br />
bus and go out to look at what other groups<br />
are doing; other times, we might arrange<br />
for guests to come along to talk to us.’’<br />
In choosing where the proceeds from its<br />
fundraising goes, the grouplooks for<br />
charities that receive littleornosupport<br />
from the government. ‘‘Those are the kinds<br />
of opportunitieswherethe community can<br />
reallystep in to help.’’<br />
This year’s Cust Craft Group fundraiser<br />
is scheduled for November 3, in the<br />
village’s St James Church and hall. There<br />
will be asales table,and six raffles.<br />
For those of acrafty inclination,<br />
however, the main drawcard will be the<br />
widerange of handiwork on show.<br />
As well as focusing on the eye health and frame styling needs of the community,<br />
the team at Specsavers Rangiora also like tocelebrate milestones with customers.<br />
On Sunday 1September, the store celebrated its third birthday and the team<br />
provided customers with giveaways and delicious cupcakes along with their<br />
outstanding level ofservice. During the store’s birthday month, the team gave<br />
one lucky customer the chance to win the value of their purchase back.<br />
Local Rangiora resident, Sarah, was delighted tolearn she had won. “I love my<br />
new frames and the updated style in both my clear pair and sunglasses”.<br />
The team at Specsavers Rangiora cares about the health of all the eyes in<br />
Rangiora and welcomes locals to book acomprehensive eye test with one<br />
of their fully qualified optometrists. Every eye test includes an advanced 3D<br />
eye scan that helps the optometrists detect serious eye diseases including<br />
glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinal changes that might beassociated<br />
with diabetes.<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

The buildings include halls, historic<br />
buildings, commercial premises, council<br />

They have been identified using anew<br />
nationalsystem based on publicsafety.<br />
The counciliskeen to talk to affected<br />

Some councilbuildings are already on a<br />

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

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

Kaiapoi’s soldiers who served in WW1.<br />
Amongthose who returned was Mr Price’s<br />
fatherinlaw, Private A.E. Sheppard.<br />
‘‘My fatherinlaw servedatGallipoli and<br />
lateratthe Somme,where he was<br />
repatriated home.’’<br />
Mr Price saysthe nurses who servedin<br />
WW1 should not be forgotten either,<br />
particularly10New Zealand nurses who<br />
lost theirlives during the sinking of the<br />
Marquette troop ship on <strong>October</strong> 23, 1915.<br />
There was one local nurse on board,<br />

survived the sinking.<br />
SisterChristmasserved in the 21st<br />

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

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

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

Fonterra lifts milk price forecast<br />
Dairyfarmers will be buoyedbyFonterra’s<br />
improvedmilk price.<br />
The dairy cooperative has released its<br />
<strong>2019</strong>/20 forecast farmgate milk price, with<br />
the range up 30 cents,tobetween $6.55 and<br />
$7.55per kilogramofmilk solids.<br />
The advance rate Fonterra pays its<br />
farmer/owners will be set off the midpoint<br />
of $7.05 per kgMS.<br />
Fonterrachairman John Monaghan says<br />
the cooperative had been achievinggood<br />
prices for its milk so far thisseason.<br />
‘‘Demand for whole milk powderhas<br />
been firm, and for the full seasonwe’re<br />
expecting it to be abovelast year.<br />
‘‘Global whole milk powder production<br />
is down year to date and is expected to<br />
continuetodecrease for the remainder of<br />

32 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />
Farmers take ahit from loss<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Fonterra’s announcement of a<br />
$605 million loss for the 2018/19<br />
financial year delivered ahuge<br />
hit to the company’s farmershareholders.<br />
However the loss, hard on the<br />
heels a$196m loss for the<br />
previous year, will not put<br />
farmers out of business, <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Federated Farmers<br />
president Cameron Henderson<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Their share value and<br />
dividend return have taken areal<br />
hit,’’ he says. ‘‘However, the<br />
share value is only an issue if<br />
farmers are looking to sell shares<br />
and most aren’t.<br />
‘‘The dividend will have a<br />
negative cashflow impact and<br />
will be where the most pain will<br />
be felt.<br />
‘‘Overall, though, the milk<br />
price is very healthy this year so<br />
the Fonterra loss won’t be<br />
putting farmers out of business.’’<br />
He also believes that Fonterra’s<br />
hefty losses do not make the<br />
company vulnerable to an<br />
overseas takeover bid, similar to<br />
the successful acquisition of<br />
Westland Milk by Chinese dairy<br />
giant Yili last August.<br />
‘‘Fonterra is afarmerowned<br />
cooperative so would require<br />
the approval of abuyout from its<br />
farmersuppliers, similar to<br />
Westland,’’ Cameron says.<br />
‘‘However, the financial<br />
situation of Fonterra and its<br />
farmers is very different to<br />
Westland so Idonot see any<br />
mood among shareholders to sell<br />
the coop.’’<br />
The losses at Fonterra are<br />
Huge hit ... Fonterra’s loss will deliver ahit to farmers.<br />
mostly related to its<br />
international investments losing<br />
value and having to be revalued<br />
lower.<br />
Although Cameron is not a<br />
Fonterra shareholder, he says<br />
critics have argued that the<br />
losses on foreign investments<br />
were aresult of apoor strategy<br />
and bad investment decisions<br />
astray from the core capabilities<br />
of the business.<br />
‘‘However the daytoday<br />
operating of the business is still<br />
very successful, so hopefully the<br />
losses are shortlived.’’<br />
Despite the losses, Cameron<br />
believes farmers still have<br />
confidence in Fonterra’s<br />
management, which has<br />
FILE PHOTO<br />
undergone significant change in<br />
recent years, with anew<br />
chairman, some new directors,<br />
and anew chief executive and<br />
leadership team appointed.<br />
‘‘The first step in fixing a<br />
problem is admitting you have<br />
one, which Fonterra has finally<br />
done in writing down the value of<br />
the business. The next step is<br />
finding anew strategy that plays<br />
to the strengths of the business.<br />
‘‘This strategy has been<br />
announced so now just needs<br />
some finetuning and good<br />
execution.<br />
‘‘The farmers Ihave talked to<br />
back the direction of the new<br />
strategy and the new CEO Miles<br />
Hurrell to deliver it.’’<br />
Michaela set to put<br />
stamp on field days<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Michaela McLeod is proudto<br />
be leading afamilyfriendly<br />
committee as preparations<br />
get under way for the 2021<br />
SouthIsland Agricultural<br />
FieldDays.<br />
The Darfieldbased<br />
businesswoman and mother<br />
of two is the organising<br />
committee’s first<br />
chairwoman.<br />
Michaela willpreside over<br />
the 2021 field days at the<br />
Kirwee site, near<br />
Christchurch.<br />
‘‘I have kindofwanted to<br />
do the role for some time, so<br />
I’ve beenlearningasmuch<br />
as Ican.<br />
‘‘I’mreally lookingforward<br />
to the challenge.’’<br />
She has aBachelor of<br />
AgriculturalScience with<br />
honours fromLincoln<br />
University and runs an<br />
independent agricultural<br />
research trials business with<br />
her husband, Ben.<br />
The couplehave two<br />
children, Joe, aged3and<br />
Harriet, aged8months.<br />
‘‘Joeistractor crazy and I<br />
thinkit’s quite goodfor kids<br />
to see you in arole other<br />
than being aparent, so Itake<br />
them to meetings and<br />
working bees.<br />
‘‘We are pretty familyfriendly.<br />
‘‘A lot of our members have<br />
youngfamilies and bring<br />
theirkids along to meetings<br />
and days at thesite.’’<br />
Whilemost members<br />
graduated from New<br />
Zealand YoungFarmers,<br />
Michaela followed aslightly<br />
different path.<br />
‘‘I was working for<br />
Seedforce and the engineer<br />
who was fixing thethingsI<br />
kept breakingwas on the<br />
organising committee, so he<br />
askedmeifIwould get<br />
involved.’’<br />
That was nine years ago<br />
and she has held various<br />
roles, including helpingout<br />
on the gate and car parking,<br />
organising the agriinnovation<br />
awards, catering,<br />
and running the lifestyle<br />
section.<br />
‘‘Sometimes you’vegot to<br />
take on the challengeand<br />
see how you go. The main<br />
thingishaving the support of<br />
the committee and we have a<br />
committee of 25 volunteers<br />
and they’re all such hard<br />
workers.They get stuck in<br />
and they allenjoy doing it.’’<br />
Michaela would like to see<br />
more women get involved.<br />
‘‘Theethos is on professional<br />
development through the<br />
planningand organisingof<br />
the event, so it’s such agreat<br />
opportunity.’’<br />
Michaela saysover the<br />
next few months she would<br />
like to investigatethe<br />
possibility of developing a<br />

maybe even increasing opportunities in<br />
the tourism sector,’’ says Andrew Arps,<br />
ECan zone manager.<br />
Localfarmer, councillor and Kaikoura<br />
Water ZoneCommittee member Tony<br />
Blunt, hosted afield day on his property<br />
recently.<br />
Around 30 people attended,all<br />
interested in seeingthe SCAR project in<br />
action.<br />
‘‘Our SCAR plantings should<br />
significantly reduce soil loss to waterways<br />
from earthquake damage to the steep hilly<br />
parts of our property. Thepoles are<br />
beneficialinkeeping the hill on thehill,<br />
especiallywhen it comestoretaining<br />
valuable topsoil on these areas. The trees<br />
will helpgrow our soil carbon,increase<br />
the soilswater holding capacity,produce<br />
beneficialsoil biomassand furtherreduce<br />
the effects of drought,’’ Tony says.<br />
‘‘So far we have planted 600 poplar poles<br />
on 12 hectares of land, none of whichwill<br />
be retired. We aim to plant another 2030<br />
hectares as poles become available, and<br />
an additional 50 hectaresinnatives that<br />
will be retired.Wewill be abletoreceive<br />
carbon credits and still be able to graze it.<br />
‘‘On top of this, we will be able to<br />
coppice the trees and harvest more poles<br />
for future planting and thin them alittle<br />
for stock feed during adrought,’’ Tony<br />
says. ‘‘Through SCAR, we have saved over<br />
$7000 so far, bringing the cost down per<br />
pole and protector from around $16 to<br />
$4.40.<br />
Mr Arps is pleasedwith the progress of<br />
the project, but aims to raisemore<br />
awarenessfor how farmerscan seek<br />
assistance. ‘‘Whatweare finding is that<br />
farmers are wanting the opportunity to<br />
implement this programme over more<br />
than one year, whichisfantastic,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘We are hoping to spread the word<br />
about the range of benefits resulting from<br />
this programme, andreally want to ensure<br />
we reach farmers who are facing erosion<br />
challenges butaren’t sure whattodo.’’<br />
FarmersPaul and Ann Jarman<br />
run Essendon,a400hectare<br />
dairy farm at Greendale, in<br />
central <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
SupplyingWestland Milk<br />
Products, Essendon is milking<br />
860 crossbred cowsand<br />
includes afully selfcontained<br />
block for winteringand<br />
growing out young stock. About<br />
twothirdsofthe 400haisa<br />
milking platform.<br />
The Jarmans areconnected<br />
to Stage 2ofthe CentralPlains<br />
Water (CPW), ahighpressure,<br />
piped irrigation scheme<br />
covering much of central<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Sustainability and<br />
minimisingthe environmental<br />
footprint of the farm is thekey<br />
driver to decisionmaking<br />
regarding farm management<br />
practices. Essendon is<br />
monitoring some paddocks<br />
weeklytoget an accurate fix on<br />
moisture and irrigation<br />
requirements to minimise<br />
nitrate losses.<br />
Working withtheir contract<br />
milker, Paul and Ann are also<br />
using CRV Ambreedgeneticsto<br />
helpreducethe farm’s nitrogen<br />
footprint. The companyhas<br />
research indicating LowN<br />
Sires genetics couldcut a<br />
farmer’s nitrate losses by 20<br />
percent over several<br />
generationsofbreeding.<br />
CRV Ambreed’s LowN Sires<br />
programme is based on<br />
breeding dairy cows with lower<br />
levels of milk urea, whichis<br />
expected to reduceurinary<br />
nitrogen.<br />
Paulsaid he was preparedto<br />
invest in the genetics, knowing<br />
the importanceofreducing<br />
their nitrogen footprint under<br />
planning regulations. He<br />
likened opting for LowNSires<br />
to Merinobreeding, the career<br />
he pursuedpassionatelybefore<br />
starting adairy conversion in<br />
2013.<br />
‘‘You get agood fineflockby<br />
measuring, testing and<br />
weighing.The same is true for<br />
yourapproachtothe dairy<br />
industry;you’vegot to have<br />
good, objective,performancebased<br />
selectionofsires.And<br />
that’s where the whole AI in<br />
New Zealand comes from.’’<br />
Theystarted using bulls from<br />
the LowN Sires programme<br />
two years ago,soon afteritwas<br />
launched. The firstyearling<br />
calves fromLowN Sires will be<br />
on the groundfor mating this<br />
yearand they areconfident it<br />
willhelp them to hittheir<br />
Paul and Ann Jarman<br />
targets for nitrogen reduction.<br />
‘‘It’s part of alongtime<br />
project to achieve what we<br />
want to achieve over what’s<br />
probably a20yearperiod.In<br />
the fullness of time, it could be<br />
quitehelpful,’’ Paul says.<br />
CRV Ambreed head<br />
geneticist Phil Beatson says a<br />
dairycow ate about 180kg of<br />
nitrogenayearasplant<br />
protein.About30kg endedup<br />
as milkand alittle bit to body<br />
maintenance andgrowth. Of<br />
the remainder, about 7580kg<br />
was excretedasurinary<br />
nitrogenand the restwas<br />
excretedasfaeces.<br />
On averagearound 20%<br />
(16kg) of this urinary nitrogen<br />
endedupbeing leached into<br />
groundwater.<br />
Importantly,asmallamount<br />
of the nitrogeninurineis<br />
converted to nitrous oxide—a<br />
longlasting greenhouse gas.<br />
Reducing urinary nitrogen was<br />
critical to reducing both<br />
leaching and greenhouse gas<br />
emissions, Mr Beatson says.<br />
As CPW shareholders,<br />
Essendon operates under a<br />
companyauditedfarm<br />
managementplan. The owners<br />
and their manager were<br />
pleasedtoreceive an Agrade<br />
firstup, with no<br />
recommendations.<br />
‘‘Now, with pivot technology<br />
on mostofthe farm, we can<br />
applythesesmall amounts<br />
little and often.Aslong as you<br />
haven’tgot water leaching<br />
through the soil profile, there’s<br />
avery good chance you haven’t<br />
got any nitrogenleaching<br />
through,’’Paul says.<br />
With irrigationplans under<br />
control,the remaining risk for<br />
nitrate leaching is in winter,<br />
when there’s higher rainfall.<br />
The farm had also been using<br />
plantaininits pasture and had<br />
a‘‘little and often’’ approach to<br />
fertiliser use,based on Lincoln<br />
University dairy farm results.<br />
