metres. It lifted part of the roof<br />

knocked down trees.<br />

Then thehail struck. Doug<br />

said he thoughtthe windows of<br />

the tractor were goingtobreak<br />

as it pelteddown.<br />

‘‘It hit hard.Itbroke four<br />

windows in acottage we have<br />

up the road.Ten minutes later<br />

it was bluesky,’’ he says.<br />

‘The adrenaline was running<br />

pretty high for awhile.<br />

‘‘It was very scary and<br />

something you don’toftensee.I<br />

was pretty much in the eye of<br />

the storm. Idon’t need to go to<br />

America to go storm chasing<br />

now,’’ he said.<br />

Amanda Smithwho lives in<br />

Riverside Road,Okuku, saw a<br />

wall of cloud which then<br />

started swirling.<br />

Therewas lightning hitting<br />

the ground all around their<br />

family home.<br />

‘‘When we saw the bright<br />

greenish blue swirling outside<br />

our windows we knew there<br />

was goingtobeatornado.My<br />

partner rushed to the shed and<br />

got the car ready for aquick<br />

escape.<br />

‘‘We wereterrifiedand very<br />

worried thatitwas going to<br />

touchdown right on top of us,’’<br />

says Amanda. Fortunatelythey<br />

escaped any damage,but she<br />

said on Foothills Road,which<br />

out as the tornadotravelled<br />

worriedfor the safetyofmy<br />

Marae, took part in a<br />

public walk in the town<br />

Future is Bright expo in<br />

the Kaikoura Memorial<br />

Hall and then travelled<br />

to the Hutton’s<br />

Shearwater site on the<br />

Kaikoura Peninsula.<br />

The visit was achance<br />

for the Prince to check on<br />

the district’s progress in<br />

recovering from the 2016<br />

earthquake and to thank<br />

local organisations for<br />

supporting British<br />

tourists stranded there<br />

in the immediate<br />

aftermath.<br />

‘‘He seemed to be a<br />

nice guy and he was<br />

genuinely interested in<br />

the birds.<br />

‘‘It was avery<br />

successful day and it got<br />

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor<br />

Council comes together<br />

The last monthhas been particularly<br />

pleasingand satisfying as Ihave beenable<br />

to join in celebrations to record many great<br />

milestoneswith the community.<br />

High school prize­givings have been<br />

enjoyabletoattend. It’smarvelloustosee<br />

our youngpeople being celebrated for<br />

theirachievements.Also, attending<br />

Loburn School’s 150thanniversary<br />

celebrationwas an honour and privilege.<br />

Iwas humbled to speak at Kaiapoi RSA’s<br />

commemorationofArmistice Day.Two<br />

yearsago Iwas fortunatetoattend the<br />

100thanniversary of theBattle of<br />

PasschendaeleinBelgium, which made<br />

the commemorationmore relevantfor me.<br />

This was aresult of the council’s<br />

twinning relationship withthe province of<br />

Zonnebeke, wheremembers of CCompany<br />

from Kaiapoi and DCompanyfrom<br />

Rangiora formedpart of the <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

regiment which foughtinthe area.<br />

Several local men lost theirlives at<br />

Passchendaeleand it was appropriate<br />

then,asitwas earlier this month, to<br />

acknowledge theirsacrifice.<br />

As well as communitycelebrations,I<br />

attendedthe Local Government New<br />

Zealand mayoral forums, which was a<br />

chance to meet mayors fromaround the<br />

country and withGovernment ministers to<br />

discuss araft of issues, such as water<br />

reform, climatechange, roading and<br />

transport.<br />

Cause of coastal blaze remains unknown<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

The cause of arecentfire in<br />

the TuhaitaraCoastal Park<br />

remains unknown.<br />

The fire was initially<br />

believed to be causedbya<br />

lightning strike, but <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> deputy principal<br />

rural fire officer Dale<br />

Wilhelm has ruledthat out.<br />

‘‘The causeofthe fireis<br />

unknown, but it was not<br />

related to the thunder storm<br />

in Christchurchasthe storm<br />

didn’treachthat far north.’’<br />

Firefighters were alerted<br />

by a111 call at 2.55pm on<br />

Mondaylast week and fire<br />

crews remainedatthe park<br />

until 8.30pm.Acrew also<br />

returned to the park the next<br />

day and found two small<br />

hotspots that were<br />

extinguished.<br />

It occurred in sand dunes<br />

about 300m southofthe<br />

WoodendBeach Rd entrance<br />

to the beach.<br />

‘‘Access for firefighters was<br />

limitedtousing the beach,<br />

which made fighting the fire<br />

more difficult. The incoming<br />

tide was of concern as it<br />

furtherreduced the access to<br />

the site,’’Dale said.<br />

‘‘The Woodendbrigade and<br />

WaikukuVolunteer Rural<br />

Fire Force were the initial<br />

crews to arrive.They were<br />

then backed up by Pines<br />

Beach Volunteer Rural Fire<br />

Forcetohelp with fourwheel­driveaccessonthe<br />

beach.’’<br />

Ahelicopter was initially<br />

used to surveythe site to learn<br />

the sizeofthe fire and what<br />

assets were underthreat. It<br />

was then set up with a<br />

monsoon bucket and used to<br />

knockdown the fire, makingit<br />

safe for firefighters to enter<br />

the forest to extinguish it.<br />

Greg Byrnes, general<br />

manager of Te Kohakao<br />

TuhaitaraTrust, which<br />

manages the park,said they<br />

were grateful to the fire<br />

crews.<br />

‘‘From the moment Fire<br />

and Emergencywere on site<br />

they had plans in place to<br />

5:43am<br />

6:07pm<br />

Good<br />

contain and fightthe fire,how<br />

to get watertothe site and air<br />

support at the scenewithin 10<br />

minutes. We are so grateful to<br />

the peoplewho put their<br />

community first. Most of the<br />

firefighterswere volunteers<br />

who rushed from work, school<br />

pick­ups,and home to get this<br />

fire undercontrol,’’ Greg said.<br />

There is ayear­round fire<br />

ban in the park. However,<br />

Greg said it was important to<br />

remainvigilant and to call<br />

emergencyservices<br />

immediatelyifsmoke was<br />

seen in the park area.<br />

as agroup, can address them locally.<br />

At the very locallevel(around the<br />

council chamber), councillors areworking<br />

well together. The portfolio structure is<br />

bedding in and our planning days looking<br />

at local issues areprogressing well. We’re<br />

awareofthe issues thatare coming and<br />

our need to address these appropriately.<br />

Isee my role as onewhereI,aswell as<br />

my fellow councillors,represent the views<br />

of the community and to do so Ibelieve it’s<br />

important that Ispend my time in and with<br />

the communitytoo.<br />

Iaminthe process of scheduling regular<br />

drop­in clinics for each area and will<br />

advise details in duecourse.<br />

Therehave also been several other local<br />

events I’ve attended.<br />

Ahighlight wasmeeting Prince Charles<br />

and the Duchess of Cornwall during their<br />

visittothe Tuahiwi Marae. In the<br />

conversation Ihad with them Iextended<br />

Over the nextfew weeks we have several<br />

Highway work<br />

will cost $3m<br />

A$3million realignment<br />

project to stop the Lewis<br />

River from cutting into State<br />

Highway 7, west of the<br />

HanmerSprings turnoff, has<br />

begun.<br />

New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency portfolio manager<br />

Colin MacKay says the river is<br />

cutting into the highway at<br />

Sylvia Flats, near the Boyle<br />

River. Eventually, it will<br />

undermine it, threatening the<br />

route.<br />

‘‘We need to realign this<br />

roadtoensure it is safely<br />

awayfrom the river and<br />

ensure this key state highway<br />

linking the east and west<br />

coasts and Nelson/<br />

Marlborough remains<br />

resilient and reliable for the<br />

future.’’<br />

The work, which began this<br />

weekwith earthworks,will<br />

continue until May 2020.<br />

Road users will have to<br />

slow down near the work site<br />

while crews, trucks and<br />

machinery are on the<br />

highway, Monday to Saturday<br />

from 7am to 7pm.<br />

The agency has been<br />

workingwith the Department<br />

of Conservation since the<br />

project was proposed as the<br />

areaispart of public<br />

conservation lands.Resource<br />

consents have been required<br />

for all work.<br />

The 700 metres of road<br />

beingrealigned is 3km past<br />

the Boyle River, on the west<br />

side of the Hanmer Springs<br />

turnoff and Island Hills.<br />

SH7 is akey freight and<br />

tourist route. It runsthrough<br />

the Lewis Pass National<br />

Reserve.<br />

In the event of SH1 via<br />

Kaikoura being closed, the<br />

Lewis Pass is the only<br />

highway link between Picton<br />

and the rest of the South<br />

Island.<br />

In coming months, road<br />

users on SH7 may notice<br />

crews:<br />

Shifting felled trees and<br />

vegetation. All beech tree<br />

removal is being done with<br />

guidance from the<br />

and to ensure nesting native<br />

birds are not affected. All of<br />

the felled trees will be<br />

stockpiled, either to be<br />

mulched or to be placed over<br />

the old road alignment at the<br />

completion of the project to<br />

The new three­level building<br />

being built on Rangiora’s old<br />

Red Lion Hotel corner site is<br />

scheduled for completion<br />

during the first quarter of<br />

next year.<br />

The building, on the corner<br />

of High and Ivory streets, will<br />

have retail space on the<br />

ground floor and apartments<br />

on the other two floors.<br />

The building’s structure is<br />

made of timber, which<br />

developer John Baigent, of<br />

Christchurch Property<br />

Projects, believes ‘‘may be a<br />

first for abuilding of this size<br />

in Rangiora’’.<br />

The decision to use timber<br />

for the structure —agrowing<br />

trend in multi­storey<br />

construction worldwide —<br />

was originally based on<br />

building time.<br />

‘‘No propping time is<br />

required, compared with<br />

concrete floors,’’ John<br />

explains. ‘‘The weight of the<br />

building is less, therefore<br />

foundations can be sized<br />

accordingly.<br />

‘‘Also, the bulk of the<br />

building is apartments so we<br />

wanted an ecological point of<br />

difference,’’ he said.<br />

‘‘The timber itself is crosslaminated<br />

timber panels that<br />

are 150 millimetres thick.<br />

These are made up of five<br />

layers of spruce/pine and the<br />

panels were sourced from a<br />

supplier in Austria.<br />

‘‘We did this because the<br />

delivery times were much<br />

better than the ones indicated<br />

by alocal supplier.’’<br />

The new building is part of<br />

athree­phase Christchurch<br />

Property Projects<br />

development and includes<br />

the new building next­door<br />

for Burger King, which<br />

opened in August, and a700<br />

square metre Cone St<br />

development which includes<br />

retail and parking space.<br />

‘‘Completion of the High<br />

Street building is expected<br />

late in the first quarter of<br />

next year, with the Cone<br />

Street building (and the<br />

whole project) completed by<br />

the middle of next year.<br />

‘‘We could have gone<br />

higher (with the three­level<br />

building) but chose not to.<br />

You have to make sure there<br />

is ademand for what you are<br />

building,’’ he said.<br />

The WaimakaririDistrictCouncil’s red<br />

zonerecovery hasreceived international<br />

recognition.<br />

The council’s draft Waimakariri<br />

Residential Red Zone Recovery Plan was<br />

recently named overall winner in the <strong>2019</strong><br />

Commonwealth AssociationofPlanners<br />

(CAP) Awards for Outstanding Planning<br />

Achievementinthe Commonwealth.<br />

It is the second consecutive year New<br />

Zealand planners have won at the awards,<br />

which acknowledge the crucial role the<br />

industry holds in developing sustainable<br />

and resilient communities.<br />

The awards attracted entries from<br />

throughout theCommonwealth, including<br />

Ghana, Canada,Australia, Sierra Leone,<br />

British Virgin Islands, Dominica, St Lucia,<br />

Malaysia,Sri Lanka and Tanzania.<br />

Three of the final 10 shortlistedprojects<br />

werebyNew Zealand planners.<br />

Waimakariri’s winning project focused<br />

on regeneratingthe district’sworstaffected<br />

areas in Kaiapoiand The Pines<br />

and Kairaki Beach communities following<br />

the 2010 and 2011 <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

earthquakes. The quakes resulted in<br />

nearly 100 hectares of residential land<br />

being red­zoned andmore than 1000<br />

homes demolished.<br />

Extensivecommunity consultationwas<br />

coretothe plan’s development, resulting<br />

in strong public interest and participation.<br />

People of all generations, cultures and<br />

lifestylesvoiced their support, whilealso<br />

putting forwardnew ideasand alternative<br />

land­use options.<br />

Judges were impressed by the urgency<br />

of the response, and praised the council<br />

for its ‘‘timely recoveryand resilience plan<br />

thatresponds to complex landuse and<br />

technical requirements, the needs of<br />

❛Our planners continue to set<br />

the bar —not just nationally,<br />

butalso on the world stage.❜<br />

multiple stakeholders,and an exhausted<br />

and polarisedpublic in arelativelyshort<br />

time frame’’.<br />

They also noted it couldbeused as an<br />

example for other Commonwealth<br />

countries dealing with disasterrecovery.<br />

New ZealandPlanning Institute chief<br />

executive David Curtis saysthe accolade<br />

confirms New Zealandplanners are<br />

among the best in the world.<br />

‘‘Our plannerscontinue to set the bar —<br />

not justnationally,but also on the world<br />

stage,’’ David says.<br />

‘‘The planning profession in New<br />

Zealand is held up as bestpracticeand we<br />

are proud to see it continue to receive<br />

internationalrecognition.’’<br />

Waimakariri District Councilstrategy<br />

and engagement manager Simon<br />

Markham says the award reflects not only<br />

the technical planning work that took<br />

place following the earthquakes.<br />

It also acknowledges the efforts made by<br />

planners to genuinely collaboratewith the<br />

community in determiningthe future<br />

pattern of land uses in an area devastated<br />

by disaster.<br />

‘‘We are thrilled to be recognisedbyCAP<br />

and that theyhave acknowledged both the<br />

planning that took place, but importantly<br />

the ongoing regeneration of Waimakariri’s<br />

worst­affected communities led by the<br />

council over recent years.’’<br />

Lisa makes her mark across Tasman<br />

By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>’s Lisa Verheul<br />

can ride. In the saddle, she is<br />

light­handed, fast and accurate,<br />

and her new competition results<br />

from Australia are testamentto<br />

that.<br />

She was lucky enoughtospend<br />

six weeks earlierthis year with<br />

southern NewSouth Wales<br />

Western ridinglegendPhil Webb<br />

and his wife, Dawn.<br />

She has now justgot home<br />

from another stintwith the<br />

couple, where she competed in<br />

her firsttwo AustralianNational<br />

Rein Cow HorseAssociation<br />

showsonafour­year­oldmare<br />

belonging to Phil and Dawn,<br />

called Miss Pink.The paircame<br />

away with two first places and a<br />

second, and ahunger for more.<br />

‘‘These are practical farm<br />

skills basedonthe traditional<br />

working partnership between<br />

horseand rider,’’ explains Lisa,<br />

who runsLisa Vee Performance<br />

Horses. ‘‘However, the art of cowhorseriding<br />

diedout in New<br />

Zealand and Australia in the late<br />

‘70s and early ‘80s. It'snow<br />

making something of acomeback,<br />

both in the US —whereit<br />

originated—and in Australia.’’<br />

Phil explains further.<br />

‘‘When you're bringingina<br />

herd of 9000cattle on amassive<br />

station in the <strong>North</strong>ern<br />

Territories, and then you haveto<br />

cut certain animalsout for the<br />

vet, for example,you'vereally got<br />

to know what you're doing.You<br />

need ahorse and riderwho can<br />

get the job done, and that'swhere<br />

the reincow horsecompetition<br />

classes come from.’’<br />

In Lisa's first show, in centralwest<br />

New SouthWales’ Guerie,<br />

she came up against38other<br />

competitors. Neither she nor the<br />

younghorse had competed in<br />

rein cow horse classes before.<br />

‘‘First,you ride adry pattern,<br />

whichiskind of the Western<br />

version of dressage. It's aset<br />

series of manoeuvres designed to<br />

show the horse's versatility and<br />

speed,'' she says.<br />

‘‘Then, theyintroduceacow<br />

and you havetouse the horse to<br />

control it, taking it down the<br />

fencelineand turning it right and<br />

left.It's very fast ...and things<br />

can alsogowrong for the rider<br />

very fast.''<br />

‘‘Sheworked so hardfor those<br />

results,''Phil says.<br />

‘‘Every day,we'd go through all<br />

the possiblescenariosand how<br />

you would ridetomeet them. It<br />

takessuper­good controland an<br />

absolute understanding of your<br />

horse, in whatcan be avery<br />

dangerous discipline. These<br />

horses needtohave so much —<br />

they need the temperament,the<br />

ability and the cowsense.<br />

‘‘Andthe rider needs to be able<br />

to watch and predict animal<br />

response patterns accurately<br />

enough to keepthemselves, and<br />

the animals, safe.’’<br />

The dream is nowtobring cow<br />

horsereining to the SouthIsland,<br />

and to that end Phil and Dawn<br />

spentlast weekend holding a<br />

sold­out clinic at her base in<br />

Okuku.<br />

‘‘I'dlove to get the sport offthe<br />

ground in <strong>Canterbury</strong>,but you<br />

need the clinicianstoeducate<br />

the riders,and that's what this<br />

weekendwas allabout,’’Lisa<br />

says.<br />

‘‘Theriding spots sold out fast,<br />

and we also had lots of people<br />

watching from the railings. If the<br />

interest continues to build like<br />

this,itwould be great to bring<br />

trainers over from the US to hold<br />

clinics too.’’<br />

And what did Philand Dawn<br />

think?<br />

‘‘This has beenour first timein<br />

the South Island andit's been an<br />

unbelievableexperience. We'll<br />

be back.’’<br />

As for Lisa, she is going to focus<br />

on her ownhorsesand breeding<br />

business through the summer,<br />

and despite the nerves and<br />

performanceanxiety on the day,<br />

is looking to compete overthe<br />

ditch again nextyear.And<br />

maybe, sometime in the future,<br />

she willbereadytotake on the<br />

competition in the US.<br />

to promote the art of cow­horse<br />

KAIAPOI SANTA PARADE AND CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL<br />

26 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>November</strong> <strong>28</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />

Plenty of special guests for annual parade<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Santa Claus is not the only<br />

special guest in Kaiapoi next<br />

month.<br />

Ronald McDonald is set to<br />

make his first appearance at<br />

the Kaiapoi Carnival and Santa<br />

Parade on Saturday, December<br />

7.<br />

He will join old favourites<br />

including Darth Vader and the<br />

Disney princesses, ‘‘who will be<br />

alot more interactive at both<br />

the carnival and the market,<br />

and will be available to take<br />

photos’’, Kaiapoi Promotions<br />

Association project manager<br />

Martyn Cook says.<br />

He says the event will be at<br />

the same venue, with the same<br />

format as last year.<br />

‘‘This is my second year<br />

running the event and there’s<br />

no question last year was a<br />

success, but there’s always<br />

room for improvement.’’<br />

The day’s activities will get<br />

under way at 9am with the<br />

community street market,<br />

which is sponsored by the<br />

association, filling up fast.<br />

Community groups are<br />

advised to get in quickly if they<br />

want to have astall.<br />

The street will feature local<br />

community groups and<br />

businesses, giving local<br />

families and visitors the<br />

opportunity to see what they’re<br />

about. It will run until 12.30pm.<br />

The race will then be on the<br />

clear the main street before the<br />

Santa parade, which starts at<br />

1.30pm.<br />

The Lion Foundation<br />

Kaiapoi Carnival will then<br />

return for asecond year as a<br />

one­day event, based on former<br />

red­zoned land between Hilton<br />

Street, opposite the Kaiapoi<br />

Countdown Supermarket, and<br />

Raven Quay.<br />

The carnival starts at 10am,<br />

with live performances on the<br />

community stage from popular<br />

local band Assembly<br />

Required.<br />

‘‘There will be carnival stalls<br />

we haven’t seen in the district<br />

before.<br />

‘‘Tracy (Inwood) does an<br />

amazing job of tracking down<br />

these stallholders,’’ Mr Cook<br />

says.<br />

‘‘The carnival is packed,<br />

which is ameasure of the<br />

popularity of the event.’’<br />

There will also be afree<br />

family fun zone, sponsored by<br />

Misco Joinery, with activities<br />

for all ages, and a‘‘chill zone’’<br />

(outdoor living room).<br />

The ‘‘Show and Shine’’ car<br />

show, sponsored by Kaiapoi<br />

Alignment &Tyres, will allow<br />

people to show off their<br />

vehicles. To enter, donate agift<br />

under the Christmas tree at the<br />

carnival.<br />

The carnival runs until<br />

4.30pm. It is sure to be abig<br />

family day out as families gear<br />

up for the festive season.<br />

Mr Cook says he has been<br />

pleased with the response from<br />

the community in recent weeks<br />

as the event approaches.<br />

But finding sponsorship and<br />

fundraising has been<br />

‘‘exceptionally hard’’ this year,<br />

after the event made asmall<br />

Disney royalty ... The Disney princesses are always popular with the children. They will be returning for this<br />

year’s Kaiapoi Santa parade.<br />

surplus in 2018.<br />

He says the success of the<br />

event has assisted the<br />

association’s conversations<br />

with the Waimakariri District<br />

Council for remedial work to<br />

the carnival site to be included<br />

in next year’s annual plan.<br />

In heavy rain, the site is<br />

prone to flooding.<br />

‘‘We are hopeful that some<br />

improvement will be made to<br />

the land, so going forward the<br />

site will be much more usable<br />

in future for general use.’’<br />

ReflectionsCommunity Trust taking over<br />

in 2014.<br />

The lunch,held on Christmas Day at the<br />

KaiapoiRugby Club roomsinSmith<br />

Street, is an opportunity to provide for<br />

people who do not have anyone to share<br />

Christmas with, or anywhere to spend<br />

Christmas,co­ordinator Tiana Wills says.<br />

‘‘Ourtarget group are socially isolated<br />

people, elderly people who are on their<br />

own, families who struggle with their own<br />

family gatherings, and evenmigrant<br />

workers who now reside in ourcommunity<br />

to specifically assist with the rebuild, who<br />

may be on their own at Christmas.’’<br />

The venue and the services of the chef,<br />

Nelson Chingfrom Who’s theCaterer, are<br />

Tiana says the media build­up to<br />

Christmas Day often portraysfamilies and<br />

friends enjoying food and companionship,<br />

but may not show thosewho ‘‘feel more<br />

isolated than ever’’.<br />

‘‘There is still astigma associated with<br />

‘‘On Christmas Day, when other options<br />

are limited, the Waimakariri Community<br />

Chiefexecutive Andy Lester saysheis<br />

pleased with how the fundhas evolved.<br />

This year, funding rose $10,000to<br />

$30,000 duetothe popularity of the fund.<br />

Communitygroups willreceive$20,000,<br />

with the remaining $10,000 going to<br />

school projects.<br />

The money will be put towards awide<br />

rangeofcommunity activities. ``Whether<br />

the funding is goingtowards giving kids<br />

the chance to learnaboutthe<br />

environment, or supporting the region’s<br />

most vulnerable, the key thing is thatall<br />

of the recipients are doing greatthings for<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>.’’<br />

Fanimals studio where they met the<br />

show’s presenters, Stacey Tremain and<br />

theirfavourite species and listways in<br />

whichthe publiccan protect them.<br />

Jess drewafantail (piwakawaka) and<br />

Josh drewaharrier hawk (kahu).<br />

Theirentries stood out to the Fanimals<br />

team,astheir sketches were detailedand<br />

intricate.<br />

‘‘It was cleartosee that alot of time<br />

had gone into creating outlines of the<br />

birdsand then colouring them in with<br />

lots of different shadesand pencil<br />

strokes,’’Jess Quiltersaid.‘‘Their ideas<br />

for protectingour native species were<br />

really well thoughtout too.’’<br />

Jess mentioned using cat collars and<br />

cat bells as akey way of keeping our<br />

native birds safe fromone of their key<br />

predators, and Josh wrote about the need<br />

to keep dogs on leads and to only take<br />

them to dog­approved areas.<br />

St John area committees merge<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Three St John area committees in<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>have mergedto<br />

form the new Waimakariri Area<br />

Committee.<br />

The new committeerolls<br />

together the Kaiapoi and Cust/<br />

Oxfordarea committees, together<br />

with the Rangiora committee,<br />

which encompassesAmberley.<br />

The Amberley Area Committee<br />

mergedwith Rangiora over 20<br />

years agoand became apart of<br />

the wider Rangiora St John<br />

community.<br />

‘‘The (merger)process has been<br />

drivenbythe areacommittee<br />

members,’’ St JohnWaimakariri<br />

Area executive officer Kimberley<br />

Barr says.<br />

It is still in the transitional<br />

stage,but is abig steptowards<br />

new ways of working. Kimberley<br />

says area committees are being<br />

encouraged nationally to explore<br />

waystostreamline services,<br />

improve efficiency and make<br />

better use of funding.<br />

Although the Rangiora,<br />

Amberley, Kaiapoi and Cust/<br />

Oxford Area Committees have<br />

always workedcollaboratively,it<br />

is hopedthe new committeewill<br />

deliver greater fluidity working as<br />

one big area.<br />

‘‘Wewill be in abetter position<br />

to support the widercommunity<br />

whenworkingtogether as one<br />

team,’’Kimberley says.<br />

Akey part of the new<br />

committee’srole is to ensure that<br />

eacharea retainsservices,<br />

utilities and donations.<br />

‘‘Nothing essentially will<br />

change for those keyareas.<br />

‘‘Weare still here to support the<br />

health and wellbeing of the<br />

community.The community is<br />

justbigger,’’ Kimberley explains.<br />

Spring lamb field day<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Getting the mostout of spring lambs will<br />

be the focus of afield day at Hawarden<br />

next week.<br />

Beef and Lamb New Zealand willbe<br />

hosting afieldday at Double Tops, the<br />

Hawardenproperty of Dugald, Mandy<br />

and AndrewRutherford next<br />

Wednesday from 1.30pm,focusedon<br />

spring lambs, facilitator Dr Tom Fraser<br />

said.<br />

‘‘With the current and projected lamb<br />

prices lookingextremelypromising, any<br />

managementpractices that can be<br />

incorporated into the farm system to<br />

increase the slaughter weight of lambs<br />

available for sale adds significantly to<br />

the farm profit.<br />

‘‘With weaningapproaching and<br />

pasture qualitydeclining,anything that<br />

can be done to improvestockhealth<br />

over this period is extremely<br />

important.’’<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> VeterinaryClinics<br />

vet Ben Allott will be on handtodiscus<br />

options for minimising the effects of<br />

internalparasiteresistance, Dr Fraser<br />

says.<br />

‘‘Thedevelopment of drench<br />

resistance continues at an alarming<br />

pace,with tripleresistant parasitesin<br />

the <strong>North</strong> Island being diagnosedwith<br />

alarmingfrequency. South Island<br />

properties are unfortunately also<br />

following this trend.<br />

‘‘It is clear thatmany farms continue<br />

to take massive risks with poor<br />

quarantine programmesand many<br />

farmers don’tknow what drenches are<br />

effective or ineffective on their<br />

properties.’’<br />

Dr Frasersays Ben will presentthe<br />

results of anumber of faecalegg count<br />

reduction tests fromlast year in <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

He says localfarmers will speak about<br />

the challenges of drench resistance, the<br />

attemptsatslowing the development of<br />

further issues, and the consequences of<br />

interventions on theirbusiness and<br />

productivity.<br />

‘‘These farmer forums have been a<br />

highlight of pastfield days and this will<br />

be agreat opportunity to discuss with<br />

otherfarmers the management systems<br />

they have in place to achieve high<br />

production.<br />

‘‘They will discusstheirexperiences<br />

relating to drenchtesting,providing<br />

refugia andreducing reliance on longacting<br />

treatments.’’<br />

Therewill also be afarm tour,with an<br />

opportunity to discuss some pasture<br />

options to mitigate against the effects of<br />

internal parasites and drench<br />

resistance.<br />

Dr Fraserwill presentinformation<br />

Call for overhaul of key legislation<br />

The current messy legal framework around the management of our<br />

resources is amassive burden on people and the economy. Reform is<br />

essential, writes Rural Advocacy Network chairman Jamie McFadden.<br />

Whengovernment policy goeswrongitcan<br />

deliver disastrousconsequences.<br />

Suchisthe case with the government’s<br />

climate­change policies.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> is astronghold of<br />

agroforestry and there are many benefits<br />

to having exoticforestry integrated on<br />

farms.<br />

However,like the rural lobby group 50<br />

Shades of Green, we have major concerns<br />

about the government’s climate­change<br />

policies.<br />

If the current policydirection continues,<br />

we will see changes to ourlandscapes and<br />

rural communities of ascalenot seen<br />

since the landclearance subsidy days<br />

before 1980.<br />

their families to aseries of community workshops<br />

Come along and share your ideas for our community’s future.<br />

Why come along?<br />

To talk about apotential community project that will benefit our environment, our community and our farm<br />

businesses.<br />

Farmers in other catchments, up and down the country are also talking about how this opportunity can benefit<br />

their environment, communities and farm businesses.<br />

The One Billion Treesinitiative and<br />

These policies fail to takeinto account<br />

the morechallenging and costly<br />

establishment regimerequiredfor native<br />

plantingsversus pines.<br />

Weeds and pests poseasignificant<br />

threattonative vegetationand evennative<br />

reversion is not easy, as excludingstock<br />

often leadstoanexplosion of weeds such<br />

as broom, gorse and blackberry.<br />

Without significantfunding and<br />

resources, large­scale nativeplanting on<br />

hill country is impractical.<br />

Many farmers in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

plant poplar poles that deliver arange of<br />

benefits, including erosion control,stock<br />

shade and carbon sequestration.However,<br />

the illogicalOne Billion Trees criteria<br />

knock poplarsout as aviable funded<br />

optionand pines win again.<br />

Livestock farmers arefacing significant<br />

increasesincompliance costsand many<br />

are lookingatother options, including<br />

exiting farmingaltogether. Add in the<br />

revenue options of carbon farmingand the<br />

much easier compliance and reporting<br />

regime, andexotic forestry is increasingly<br />

attractive.<br />

Like the <strong>North</strong> Island hill country,<br />

farmers in <strong>Canterbury</strong> are being<br />

approached by forestryinterests looking<br />

for farms to buy.<br />

One only has to look at another<br />

agriculture­dependentcountry, Ireland,<br />
