as it tore throughOkuku lateinthe
afternoon.
It threw largepines in the air and
dumped them,stripped apine shelter belt,
flattened poplars,tore roofing iron from
sheds and tipped over animal shelters.
As it disappeared, large hailstones fell,
breaking windows and shredding
vegetable and flowergardens.
Doug Paterson, who lives on Browns
Road, Okuku, was clearing scrub last
Wednesday withhis 160horsepower
tractorwhen the tornado hit.
‘‘I was in theeye of it.The tractorrocked
from side to side. Iwas hanging on to the
steeringwheelasIthought it might tip
over.Itripped off the bonnetand Iput the
grab of the tractor down to pin the bonnet
on the groundand stabilise thetractor.
Doug said the tornado’sfunnel was
abouttwo to threemetres wide.Itwas a
grey colour and 20 metres away fromhim.
It wentfrom being southeastto
northerly as it suckedinthe air and then
began circling withinminutes. ‘‘As it
passed it went from grey to black; really
black,’’ he said.
It rippedgrassout of the ground, and
sucked up trees acouple of 100 metres
either side of him.

public walk in the town
centre, visited the

the Kaikoura Memorial
Hall and then travelled

nice guy and he was
genuinely interested in
the birds.

successful day and it got
the Hutton’s shearwater
birds some publicity on
the international stage.’’

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor
Council comes together
The last monthhas been particularly
pleasingand satisfying as Ihave beenable
to join in celebrations to record many great
milestoneswith the community.
High school prizegivings have been
enjoyabletoattend. It’smarvelloustosee
our youngpeople being celebrated for
theirachievements.Also, attending
Loburn School’s 150thanniversary
celebrationwas an honour and privilege.
Iwas humbled to speak at Kaiapoi RSA’s
commemorationofArmistice Day.Two
yearsago Iwas fortunatetoattend the
100thanniversary of theBattle of
PasschendaeleinBelgium, which made
the commemorationmore relevantfor me.
This was aresult of the council’s
twinning relationship withthe province of
Zonnebeke, wheremembers of CCompany
from Kaiapoi and DCompanyfrom
Rangiora formedpart of the Canterbury
regiment which foughtinthe area.
Several local men lost theirlives at
Passchendaeleand it was appropriate
then,asitwas earlier this month, to
acknowledge theirsacrifice.
As well as communitycelebrations,I
attendedthe Local Government New
Zealand mayoral forums, which was a
chance to meet mayors fromaround the
country and withGovernment ministers to
discuss araft of issues, such as water
reform, climatechange, roading and
transport.

Cause of coastal blaze remains unknown
By SHELLEY TOPP
The cause of arecentfire in
the TuhaitaraCoastal Park
remains unknown.
The fire was initially
believed to be causedbya
lightning strike, but North
Canterbury deputy principal
rural fire officer Dale
Wilhelm has ruledthat out.
‘‘The causeofthe fireis
unknown, but it was not
related to the thunder storm
in Christchurchasthe storm
didn’treachthat far north.’’
Firefighters were alerted
by a111 call at 2.55pm on
Mondaylast week and fire
crews remainedatthe park
until 8.30pm.Acrew also
returned to the park the next
day and found two small
hotspots that were
extinguished.
It occurred in sand dunes
about 300m southofthe
WoodendBeach Rd entrance
to the beach.
‘‘Access for firefighters was
limitedtousing the beach,
which made fighting the fire
more difficult. The incoming
tide was of concern as it
furtherreduced the access to
the site,’’Dale said.
‘‘The Woodendbrigade and
WaikukuVolunteer Rural
Fire Force were the initial
crews to arrive.They were
then backed up by Pines
Beach Volunteer Rural Fire
Forcetohelp with fourwheeldriveaccessonthe
beach.’’
Ahelicopter was initially
used to surveythe site to learn
the sizeofthe fire and what
assets were underthreat. It
was then set up with a
monsoon bucket and used to
knockdown the fire, makingit
safe for firefighters to enter
the forest to extinguish it.
Greg Byrnes, general
manager of Te Kohakao
TuhaitaraTrust, which
manages the park,said they
were grateful to the fire
crews.
‘‘From the moment Fire
and Emergencywere on site
they had plans in place to

the peoplewho put their
community first. Most of the
firefighterswere volunteers
who rushed from work, school
pickups,and home to get this
fire undercontrol,’’ Greg said.
There is ayearround fire
ban in the park. However,
Greg said it was important to
remainvigilant and to call

Highway work
will cost $3m
A$3million realignment
project to stop the Lewis
River from cutting into State
Highway 7, west of the
HanmerSprings turnoff, has
begun.
New Zealand Transport
Agency portfolio manager
Colin MacKay says the river is
cutting into the highway at
Sylvia Flats, near the Boyle
River. Eventually, it will
undermine it, threatening the
route.
‘‘We need to realign this
roadtoensure it is safely
awayfrom the river and
ensure this key state highway
linking the east and west
coasts and Nelson/
Marlborough remains
resilient and reliable for the
future.’’
The work, which began this
weekwith earthworks,will
continue until May 2020.
Road users will have to
slow down near the work site
while crews, trucks and
machinery are on the
highway, Monday to Saturday
from 7am to 7pm.
The agency has been
workingwith the Department
of Conservation since the
project was proposed as the
areaispart of public
conservation lands.Resource
consents have been required
for all work.
The 700 metres of road
beingrealigned is 3km past
the Boyle River, on the west
side of the Hanmer Springs
turnoff and Island Hills.
SH7 is akey freight and
tourist route. It runsthrough
the Lewis Pass National
Reserve.
In the event of SH1 via
Kaikoura being closed, the
Lewis Pass is the only
highway link between Picton
and the rest of the South
Island.
In coming months, road
users on SH7 may notice
crews:
Shifting felled trees and
vegetation. All beech tree
removal is being done with
guidance from the
Department of Conservation
and to ensure nesting native
birds are not affected. All of
the felled trees will be
stockpiled, either to be
mulched or to be placed over
the old road alignment at the
completion of the project to
reestablishalocal habitat
and vegetation area.
Takingaway about 70,000
cubic metres of soil and rocks
—more than 8000 truckloads.
Workingonearthworks for
much of the summer, constructing
the new alignment.
Surfacing the new road, if
weather permits, this
summer/autumn. If the
weather is wet, sealing may
be completed in the summer
of 2020/21.

The new threelevel building
being built on Rangiora’s old
Red Lion Hotel corner site is
scheduled for completion
during the first quarter of
next year.
The building, on the corner
of High and Ivory streets, will
have retail space on the
ground floor and apartments
on the other two floors.
The building’s structure is
made of timber, which
developer John Baigent, of
Christchurch Property
Projects, believes ‘‘may be a
first for abuilding of this size
in Rangiora’’.
The decision to use timber
for the structure —agrowing
trend in multistorey
construction worldwide —
was originally based on
building time.
‘‘No propping time is
required, compared with
concrete floors,’’ John
explains. ‘‘The weight of the
building is less, therefore
foundations can be sized
accordingly.
‘‘Also, the bulk of the
building is apartments so we
wanted an ecological point of
difference,’’ he said.
‘‘The timber itself is crosslaminated
timber panels that
are 150 millimetres thick.
These are made up of five
layers of spruce/pine and the
panels were sourced from a
supplier in Austria.
‘‘We did this because the
delivery times were much
better than the ones indicated
by alocal supplier.’’
The new building is part of
athreephase Christchurch
Property Projects
development and includes
the new building nextdoor
for Burger King, which
opened in August, and a700
square metre Cone St
development which includes
retail and parking space.
‘‘Completion of the High
Street building is expected
late in the first quarter of
next year, with the Cone
Street building (and the
whole project) completed by
the middle of next year.
‘‘We could have gone
higher (with the threelevel
building) but chose not to.
You have to make sure there
is ademand for what you are
building,’’ he said.
‘‘We have had lots of
inquiries.’’

Council has created
new facilities in the
former residential
red zone, including

Overseasawardfor
revamp of redzone
The WaimakaririDistrictCouncil’s red
zonerecovery hasreceived international
recognition.
The council’s draft Waimakariri
Residential Red Zone Recovery Plan was
recently named overall winner in the 2019
Commonwealth AssociationofPlanners
(CAP) Awards for Outstanding Planning
Achievementinthe Commonwealth.
It is the second consecutive year New
Zealand planners have won at the awards,
which acknowledge the crucial role the
industry holds in developing sustainable
and resilient communities.
The awards attracted entries from
throughout theCommonwealth, including
Ghana, Canada,Australia, Sierra Leone,
British Virgin Islands, Dominica, St Lucia,
Malaysia,Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
Three of the final 10 shortlistedprojects
werebyNew Zealand planners.
Waimakariri’s winning project focused
on regeneratingthe district’sworstaffected
areas in Kaiapoiand The Pines
and Kairaki Beach communities following
the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury
earthquakes. The quakes resulted in
nearly 100 hectares of residential land
being redzoned andmore than 1000
homes demolished.
Extensivecommunity consultationwas
coretothe plan’s development, resulting
in strong public interest and participation.
People of all generations, cultures and
lifestylesvoiced their support, whilealso
putting forwardnew ideasand alternative
landuse options.
Judges were impressed by the urgency
of the response, and praised the council
for its ‘‘timely recoveryand resilience plan
thatresponds to complex landuse and
technical requirements, the needs of
❛Our planners continue to set
the bar —not just nationally,
butalso on the world stage.❜
—NZPlanning Institute CEO David Curtis
multiple stakeholders,and an exhausted
and polarisedpublic in arelativelyshort
time frame’’.
They also noted it couldbeused as an
example for other Commonwealth
countries dealing with disasterrecovery.
New ZealandPlanning Institute chief
executive David Curtis saysthe accolade
confirms New Zealandplanners are
among the best in the world.
‘‘Our plannerscontinue to set the bar —
not justnationally,but also on the world
stage,’’ David says.
‘‘The planning profession in New
Zealand is held up as bestpracticeand we
are proud to see it continue to receive
internationalrecognition.’’
Waimakariri District Councilstrategy
and engagement manager Simon
Markham says the award reflects not only
the technical planning work that took
place following the earthquakes.
It also acknowledges the efforts made by
planners to genuinely collaboratewith the
community in determiningthe future
pattern of land uses in an area devastated
by disaster.
‘‘We are thrilled to be recognisedbyCAP
and that theyhave acknowledged both the
planning that took place, but importantly
the ongoing regeneration of Waimakariri’s
worstaffected communities led by the
council over recent years.’’

Lisa makes her mark across Tasman
By RACHEL MACDONALD
NorthCanterbury’s Lisa Verheul
can ride. In the saddle, she is
lighthanded, fast and accurate,
and her new competition results
from Australia are testamentto
that.
She was lucky enoughtospend
six weeks earlierthis year with
southern NewSouth Wales
Western ridinglegendPhil Webb
and his wife, Dawn.
She has now justgot home
from another stintwith the
couple, where she competed in
her firsttwo AustralianNational
Rein Cow HorseAssociation
showsonafouryearoldmare
belonging to Phil and Dawn,
called Miss Pink.The paircame
away with two first places and a
second, and ahunger for more.
‘‘These are practical farm
skills basedonthe traditional
working partnership between
horseand rider,’’ explains Lisa,
who runsLisa Vee Performance
Horses. ‘‘However, the art of cowhorseriding
diedout in New
Zealand and Australia in the late
‘70s and early ‘80s. It'snow
making something of acomeback,
both in the US —whereit
originated—and in Australia.’’
Phil explains further.
‘‘When you're bringingina
herd of 9000cattle on amassive
station in the Northern
Territories, and then you haveto
cut certain animalsout for the
vet, for example,you'vereally got
to know what you're doing.You
need ahorse and riderwho can
get the job done, and that'swhere
the reincow horsecompetition
classes come from.’’
In Lisa's first show, in centralwest
New SouthWales’ Guerie,
she came up against38other
competitors. Neither she nor the
younghorse had competed in
rein cow horse classes before.
‘‘First,you ride adry pattern,
whichiskind of the Western
version of dressage. It's aset
series of manoeuvres designed to
show the horse's versatility and
speed,'' she says.
‘‘Then, theyintroduceacow
and you havetouse the horse to
control it, taking it down the
fencelineand turning it right and
left.It's very fast ...and things
can alsogowrong for the rider
very fast.''
‘‘Sheworked so hardfor those
results,''Phil says.
‘‘Every day,we'd go through all
the possiblescenariosand how
you would ridetomeet them. It
takessupergood controland an
absolute understanding of your
horse, in whatcan be avery
dangerous discipline. These
horses needtohave so much —
they need the temperament,the
ability and the cowsense.
‘‘Andthe rider needs to be able
to watch and predict animal
response patterns accurately
enough to keepthemselves, and
the animals, safe.’’
The dream is nowtobring cow
horsereining to the SouthIsland,
and to that end Phil and Dawn
spentlast weekend holding a
soldout clinic at her base in
Okuku.
‘‘I'dlove to get the sport offthe
ground in Canterbury,but you
need the clinicianstoeducate
the riders,and that's what this
weekendwas allabout,’’Lisa
says.
‘‘Theriding spots sold out fast,
and we also had lots of people
watching from the railings. If the
interest continues to build like
this,itwould be great to bring
trainers over from the US to hold
clinics too.’’
And what did Philand Dawn
think?
‘‘This has beenour first timein
the South Island andit's been an
unbelievableexperience. We'll
be back.’’
As for Lisa, she is going to focus
on her ownhorsesand breeding
business through the summer,
and despite the nerves and
performanceanxiety on the day,
is looking to compete overthe
ditch again nextyear.And
maybe, sometime in the future,
she willbereadytotake on the
competition in the US.

to promote the art of cowhorse

Amberley’s heartwill sparkle on Thursday,December 5, as the town heralds inthe
festive season.
The town centre will be decked with bells and holly,and Chamberlain Park will glow with lights as the
town’s promotional group, AmberleyNZ, hosts its inaugural Christmas Festival to spread joy and festive cheer.
The festival starts at 4pm and runs till 8pm, with face painting and photo booths at the south end of town, and
Kell’s Kitchen helping set the scene for afun-filled night.
Claire Inkson, from AmberleyNZ, says that alongside the offerings from an eclectic mix of local business, there will
be up to 90 stalls providing food, crafts, arts and arange of gifts.
“Wehave an array of super cool and interesting thingshappening all around Amberley.
“Our town is going to sparkle. Markham street will host avariety of food trucks beside the Brew Moon, and shops will be open late,”
Claire says.
Arthur Burkes Hammer Hardware will have stalls in its car park area to provide awesome Christmas shopping, and Kiwiana-style
Santa photos in aKombi Vanwill be happening beside the Brew Moon Brewing Company.
The Brew Moon will have live music from 5pm to 9pm with the Epic Duo. There will be stalls and live music beside Envisage in
Brackenfields, and craftstalls opposite Me Now YouClothing, as well as awellbeing section of stall holders beside Sally Mac’s.
Buskers will entertain throughout the town. There will be carols and Christmas Cookie workshops.
The Hurunui Librarywill be open late with aWishing Tree, where visitors can drop off wrapped presents for those in need, as well as
enjoy Christmas storyreadings for children.
Claire says the synergy between the community and businesses is an important part ofthe festival. Each needs one another, and
AmberleyNZ, which was formed two years ago, has always aimed to bring them together at aChristmas festival to supporteach other
and have agreat night out.
“Wewanted to do something on alarge scale that would benefit businesses and the community and hopefully spread abit of festive
joy,” she says.
“Welove our town, and our community,and this is afabulous way to show how great things can happen when we work together and
collaborate. Small towns are experts at that.
“The whole of Amberley will be bustling. All the shops will be open until late, and our restaurants, including
our iconic Nor’Wester,will be open for dinner.It’s agreat opportunity to supportour small businesses, and
Shop Local.”
ALight up the Town competition, sponsored by Pams Pantry and Hurunui Engineering, promises to take
the festive cheer out into the community.There is a$100 hamper on offer for the best-lit-up residence, and
one for the best business entry.
This will be judged by Hurunui Mayor Marie Black later in December..
Claire says AmberleyNZ is grateful to the Amberley and Districts Lions Club for providing funding to help
light up Chamberlain Park.
Watch this space for AmberleyNZ’s next big event, aMarkham Street Festival, set for February1,2020.

KAIAPOI SANTA PARADE AND CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL
26 North Canterbury News, November 28, 2019
Plenty of special guests for annual parade
By DAVID HILL
Santa Claus is not the only
special guest in Kaiapoi next
month.
Ronald McDonald is set to
make his first appearance at
the Kaiapoi Carnival and Santa
Parade on Saturday, December
7.
He will join old favourites
including Darth Vader and the
Disney princesses, ‘‘who will be
alot more interactive at both
the carnival and the market,
and will be available to take
photos’’, Kaiapoi Promotions
Association project manager
Martyn Cook says.
He says the event will be at
the same venue, with the same
format as last year.
‘‘This is my second year
running the event and there’s
no question last year was a
success, but there’s always
room for improvement.’’
The day’s activities will get
under way at 9am with the
community street market,
which is sponsored by the
association, filling up fast.
Community groups are
advised to get in quickly if they
want to have astall.
The street will feature local
community groups and
businesses, giving local
families and visitors the
opportunity to see what they’re
about. It will run until 12.30pm.
The race will then be on the
clear the main street before the
Santa parade, which starts at
1.30pm.
The Lion Foundation
Kaiapoi Carnival will then
return for asecond year as a
oneday event, based on former
redzoned land between Hilton
Street, opposite the Kaiapoi
Countdown Supermarket, and
Raven Quay.
The carnival starts at 10am,
with live performances on the
community stage from popular
local band Assembly
Required.
‘‘There will be carnival stalls
we haven’t seen in the district
before.
‘‘Tracy (Inwood) does an
amazing job of tracking down
these stallholders,’’ Mr Cook
says.
‘‘The carnival is packed,
which is ameasure of the
popularity of the event.’’
There will also be afree
family fun zone, sponsored by
Misco Joinery, with activities
for all ages, and a‘‘chill zone’’
(outdoor living room).
The ‘‘Show and Shine’’ car
show, sponsored by Kaiapoi
Alignment &Tyres, will allow
people to show off their
vehicles. To enter, donate agift
under the Christmas tree at the
carnival.
The carnival runs until
4.30pm. It is sure to be abig
family day out as families gear
up for the festive season.
Mr Cook says he has been
pleased with the response from
the community in recent weeks
as the event approaches.
But finding sponsorship and
fundraising has been
‘‘exceptionally hard’’ this year,
after the event made asmall
Disney royalty ... The Disney princesses are always popular with the children. They will be returning for this
year’s Kaiapoi Santa parade.

surplus in 2018.
He says the success of the
event has assisted the
association’s conversations
with the Waimakariri District
Council for remedial work to
the carnival site to be included
in next year’s annual plan.
In heavy rain, the site is
prone to flooding.
‘‘We are hopeful that some
improvement will be made to
the land, so going forward the
site will be much more usable
in future for general use.’’

Christmas Day cheer will return to
Kaiapoi next month.
Tickets are on sale for the annual
Waimakariri Community Christmas Lunch
at the Kaiapoi Rugby Club on December
25 from 11.30am.
Having previously been hostedbythe
Rangiora Anglican Church,the
Waimakariri CommunityChristmas Lunch
was reestablishedinKaiapoiin2010 as an
earthquake response.
For the first three years it was managed
by Kaiapoi Community Support,with
ReflectionsCommunity Trust taking over
in 2014.
The lunch,held on Christmas Day at the
KaiapoiRugby Club roomsinSmith
Street, is an opportunity to provide for
people who do not have anyone to share
Christmas with, or anywhere to spend
Christmas,coordinator Tiana Wills says.
‘‘Ourtarget group are socially isolated
people, elderly people who are on their
own, families who struggle with their own
family gatherings, and evenmigrant
workers who now reside in ourcommunity
to specifically assist with the rebuild, who
may be on their own at Christmas.’’
The venue and the services of the chef,
Nelson Chingfrom Who’s theCaterer, are
providedatno cost.
Tickets are on sale at the Waimakariri
iSite in Kaiapoi for $22 for adults, to cover
the cost of the food, with children aged 14
and underdining free, thanks to the
support of MainPower.
Doorswill open around 11.30am,with
lunchserved at 12, followed by dessert,
Christmas cakeand alolly scramble.
Santawill also be in attendance to hand
out presents to the children beforethe
eventends at 2.30pm.
‘‘On Christmas Day,neighbours have

gone away, social clubs have takena
break, coffeeshops and librariesare
closed,and publictransport is minimal,’’
Tiana says.
The event allows those attending to have
agood time, to share, make new friends, or
meet up with old friends.
‘‘As aresult, noone attending the lunch
will feellonely on this special day,’’ she
says.
‘‘Our team of volunteers will provide
food andfriendship in acheerful and
convivialatmosphere.’’
Tiana says the media buildup to
Christmas Day often portraysfamilies and
friends enjoying food and companionship,
but may not show thosewho ‘‘feel more
isolated than ever’’.
‘‘There is still astigma associated with
admittingtobeinglonely.
‘‘On Christmas Day, when other options
are limited, the Waimakariri Community
Christmas Lunch is achance to meet a
specific socialneed, opendoors and have
conversations which may offer the chance
to identify longerterm requirementsthat
can be met during the yearbyconnecting
these people to outside services.’’

Fund distributes $30,000
By SHELLY TOPP
Thirty North Canterbury schools and
charitable organisations have been
namedasrecipients of the 2019
MainPowerCommunity Fund.
The North Canterburyelectricity
distributor has been runningthe
contestable fund since 2015.
Chiefexecutive Andy Lester saysheis
pleased with how the fundhas evolved.
This year, funding rose $10,000to
$30,000 duetothe popularity of the fund.
Communitygroups willreceive$20,000,
with the remaining $10,000 going to
school projects.
The money will be put towards awide
rangeofcommunity activities. ``Whether
the funding is goingtowards giving kids
the chance to learnaboutthe
environment, or supporting the region’s
most vulnerable, the key thing is thatall
of the recipients are doing greatthings for
NorthCanterbury.’’
9, also included aVIP tour of the
Fanimals studio where they met the
show’s presenters, Stacey Tremain and
Jess Quilter.
Hundreds of entries were received for
the nationwidecompetition, which
invited schoolage children to sketch
theirfavourite species and listways in
whichthe publiccan protect them.
Jess drewafantail (piwakawaka) and
Josh drewaharrier hawk (kahu).
Theirentries stood out to the Fanimals
team,astheir sketches were detailedand
intricate.
‘‘It was cleartosee that alot of time
had gone into creating outlines of the
birdsand then colouring them in with
lots of different shadesand pencil
strokes,’’Jess Quiltersaid.‘‘Their ideas
for protectingour native species were
really well thoughtout too.’’
Jess mentioned using cat collars and
cat bells as akey way of keeping our
native birds safe fromone of their key
predators, and Josh wrote about the need
to keep dogs on leads and to only take
them to dogapproved areas.

St John area committees merge
By SHELLEY TOPP
Three St John area committees in
North Canterburyhave mergedto
form the new Waimakariri Area
Committee.
The new committeerolls
together the Kaiapoi and Cust/
Oxfordarea committees, together
with the Rangiora committee,
which encompassesAmberley.
The Amberley Area Committee
mergedwith Rangiora over 20
years agoand became apart of
the wider Rangiora St John
community.
‘‘The (merger)process has been
drivenbythe areacommittee
members,’’ St JohnWaimakariri
Area executive officer Kimberley
Barr says.
It is still in the transitional
stage,but is abig steptowards
new ways of working. Kimberley
says area committees are being
encouraged nationally to explore
waystostreamline services,
improve efficiency and make
better use of funding.
Although the Rangiora,
Amberley, Kaiapoi and Cust/
Oxford Area Committees have
always workedcollaboratively,it
is hopedthe new committeewill
deliver greater fluidity working as
one big area.
‘‘Wewill be in abetter position
to support the widercommunity
whenworkingtogether as one
team,’’Kimberley says.
Akey part of the new
committee’srole is to ensure that
eacharea retainsservices,
utilities and donations.
‘‘Nothing essentially will
change for those keyareas.
‘‘Weare still here to support the
health and wellbeing of the
community.The community is
justbigger,’’ Kimberley explains.

hosting afieldday at Double Tops, the
Hawardenproperty of Dugald, Mandy
and AndrewRutherford next
Wednesday from 1.30pm,focusedon
spring lambs, facilitator Dr Tom Fraser
said.
‘‘With the current and projected lamb
prices lookingextremelypromising, any
managementpractices that can be
incorporated into the farm system to
increase the slaughter weight of lambs
available for sale adds significantly to
the farm profit.
‘‘With weaningapproaching and
pasture qualitydeclining,anything that
can be done to improvestockhealth
over this period is extremely
important.’’
NorthCanterbury VeterinaryClinics
vet Ben Allott will be on handtodiscus
options for minimising the effects of
internalparasiteresistance, Dr Fraser
says.
‘‘Thedevelopment of drench
resistance continues at an alarming
pace,with tripleresistant parasitesin
the North Island being diagnosedwith
alarmingfrequency. South Island
properties are unfortunately also
following this trend.
‘‘It is clear thatmany farms continue
to take massive risks with poor
quarantine programmesand many
farmers don’tknow what drenches are
effective or ineffective on their
properties.’’
Dr Frasersays Ben will presentthe
results of anumber of faecalegg count
reduction tests fromlast year in North
Canterbury.
He says localfarmers will speak about
the challenges of drench resistance, the
attemptsatslowing the development of
further issues, and the consequences of
interventions on theirbusiness and
productivity.
‘‘These farmer forums have been a
highlight of pastfield days and this will
be agreat opportunity to discuss with
otherfarmers the management systems
they have in place to achieve high
production.
‘‘They will discusstheirexperiences
relating to drenchtesting,providing
refugia andreducing reliance on longacting
treatments.’’
Therewill also be afarm tour,with an
opportunity to discuss some pasture
options to mitigate against the effects of
internal parasites and drench
resistance.
Dr Fraserwill presentinformation
from previous trial workonweaned

types, when the lambs weredrenched

Call for overhaul of key legislation
The current messy legal framework around the management of our
resources is amassive burden on people and the economy. Reform is
essential, writes Rural Advocacy Network chairman Jamie McFadden.
Whengovernment policy goeswrongitcan
deliver disastrousconsequences.
Suchisthe case with the government’s
climatechange policies.
North Canterbury is astronghold of
agroforestry and there are many benefits
to having exoticforestry integrated on
farms.
However,like the rural lobby group 50
Shades of Green, we have major concerns
about the government’s climatechange
policies.
If the current policydirection continues,
we will see changes to ourlandscapes and
rural communities of ascalenot seen
since the landclearance subsidy days
before 1980.

their families to aseries of community workshops
Come along and share your ideas for our community’s future.
Why come along?
To talk about apotential community project that will benefit our environment, our community and our farm
businesses.
Farmers in other catchments, up and down the country are also talking about how this opportunity can benefit
their environment, communities and farm businesses.
Cheviot:
Scargill:
The One Billion Treesinitiative and
Emissions TradingScheme (ETS) are
heavily weighted in favour of pines over
other trees,particularly natives.
These policies fail to takeinto account
the morechallenging and costly
establishment regimerequiredfor native
plantingsversus pines.
Weeds and pests poseasignificant
threattonative vegetationand evennative
reversion is not easy, as excludingstock
often leadstoanexplosion of weeds such
as broom, gorse and blackberry.
Without significantfunding and
resources, largescale nativeplanting on
hill country is impractical.
Many farmers in North Canterbury
plant poplar poles that deliver arange of
benefits, including erosion control,stock
shade and carbon sequestration.However,
the illogicalOne Billion Trees criteria
knock poplarsout as aviable funded
optionand pines win again.
Livestock farmers arefacing significant
increasesincompliance costsand many
are lookingatother options, including
exiting farmingaltogether. Add in the
revenue options of carbon farmingand the
much easier compliance and reporting
regime, andexotic forestry is increasingly
attractive.
Like the North Island hill country,
farmers in Canterbury are being
approached by forestryinterests looking
for farms to buy.

Key policies around environment are flawed -McFadden
From Page 38
The irony is that,under the
current Governmentpolicies,
farmsthat havelost all native
vegetation are paidsubsidiesand
carbon credits to plant trees
(including pines),while those
proactiveinprotecting native
forest get nothing.
It is anational disgracethat
farmers who haveprotected
native forest, delivering
biodiversity,freshwater, erosion,
landscape and carbon
sequestrationbenefitsover a
long time, receivenorecognition

regulation. We fear that the

These pests are having amajor

We believeitismuch more
effectivetodirect One Billion

existing nativeforest rather than
trying to establish alot of new
native plantings,particularly in
areas withweed and pest issues.
Either way, amore coordinated

is urgently required for weeds

The amount of duplication is a
massive burden on people and
our economy, and is ahigh
priority forreform.
From an individual farm and
catchmentscale, we point to the
success of the Catchment Board
model.One piece of
environmental legislation is
needed, under which every farm
or catchment of farms has access
to trainedadvisers who take a
holistic view to decisionmaking
incorporating environmental,
economic, social and cultural
