By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Atornado whipped up during last week’s 

southerlystorm ripped the bonnetfrom a 

largetractor and rockeditfrom sidetoside 

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.

OxfordArea School pupils got 

asurprise last week, with the 

noise of two Royal New 

Zealand Navy helicopters 

hovering abovethe school. 

The visit was arrangedby 

LieutenantLuke Godsell, an 

old boy of the school, with the 

choppers stopping off for a 

break on the school’s front 

field. 

The two helicoptersare 

valued at $5 millioneach. 

Their pilots and crews were 

travelling back to the North 

Island after completingsome 

navigational work in the 

SouthIsland. 

Year 1to10pupils watched 

as the two powerful machines 

circled the school and then 

landed, principalMike Hart 

said. 

‘‘Every student then had the 

opportunity to hop intothe 

stationary helicopters 

following class presentations 

about the helicopters and 

what it takes to becomea 

pilot.’’

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. 

This was agreat leadin to amore local 

Cause of coastal blaze remains unknown 


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 

5:43am 

6:07pm 

Good 

contain and fightthe fire,how 

to get watertothe site and air 

support at the scenewithin 10 

minutes. We are so grateful 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 

emergencyservices 

immediatelyifsmoke was 

seen in the park area.

fire, check out the North

the respectivemayorsand chiefexecutives 

from Christchurch, Selwyn and Hurunui, 

whichtakes these discussions fromahigh 

leveland starts turning thought to how we, 

as agroup, can address them locally. 

At the very locallevel(around the 

council chamber), councillors areworking 

well together. The portfolio structure is 

bedding in and our planning days looking 

at local issues areprogressing well. We’re 

awareofthe issues thatare coming and 

our need to address these appropriately. 

Isee my role as onewhereI,aswell as 

my fellow councillors,represent the views 

of the community and to do so Ibelieve it’s 

important that Ispend my time in and with 

the communitytoo. 

Iaminthe process of scheduling regular 

dropin clinics for each area and will 

advise details in duecourse. 

Therehave also been several other local 

events I’ve attended. 

Ahighlight wasmeeting Prince Charles 

and the Duchess of Cornwall during their 

visittothe Tuahiwi Marae. In the 

conversation Ihad with them Iextended 

my thanks to them both for making the 

time to visit.Ifoundthem genuinely 

interested in our area. Ishould like to 

acknowledge the invitationextended by Te 

Ngai TuahuririRunangatoattend. 

Over the nextfew weeks we have several 

Christmas parades and other community 

events. Ihope to see you there.

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.’’

Recreation ... The 

Waimakariri District 

Council has created 

new facilities in the 

former residential 

red zone, including 

aBMX track. 

PHOTO:SUPPLIED 

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. 

In control ... Lisa Verheul 

competes in Australia. She hopes 

to promote the art of cowhorse 

riding in New Zealand. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

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.

KAIAPOI SANTA PARADE AND CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL 


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.

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 


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.

Spring lamb field day 

By DAVID HILL 

Getting the mostout of spring lambs will 

be the focus of afield day at Hawarden 

next week. 

Beef and Lamb New Zealand willbe 

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 

lamb growthrates on variousforage 

types, when the lambs weredrenched 

with effectivedrenches comparedto 

lambsonthe sameforagesthat were 

infected withhigh numbersofparasite

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.

The Hurunui District Landcare Group invites farmers and 

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. 

One only has to look at another 

agriculturedependentcountry, Ireland, 

where its OneBillion Treespolicyequivalent

Key policies around environment are flawed -McFadden 

From Page 38 

The irony is that,under the 

current Governmentpolicies, 

farmsthat havelost all native

carbon credits to plant trees 

(including pines),while those 

proactiveinprotecting native 

forest get nothing. 

It is anational disgracethat

We believeitismuch more

trying to establish alot of new

Either way, amore coordinated
