Dog bylaw
to carry
extra bite
By NEIL CLARKSON
Dog owners are required to maintain
control of their animals around horses
under arevamp of the Waimakariri
District Council's Dog Control Bylaw.
The bylaw, passed by the council on
Tuesday, also bans the exercising of
dogs in public places from amoving
vehicle.
Both issues were raised by residents
with Crs Wendy Doody and Sandra
Stewart, and former councillor John
Meyer, who held ahearing in mid
August to receive public submissions.
The bylaw, which comes into force on
December 16, now states: ‘‘Dogs that
are not able to be kept under effective
voice control around horses shall be
placed on alead when in the vicinity of
ahorse.’’

Anger over shooting of Hobo
By ROBYN BRISTOW
An Amberley pet owner faces abill of
about $4000 over the shooting of Hobo, a
young tortoiseshell cat.
Hobo arrived at her Bank Street home
around midnight last Wednesday,
limping and dragging her left front leg.
She is now in danger of losing her leg
after atrip to the North Canterbury
Veterinarian Clinic in Amberley.
Imaging showed she had alead pellet
in her shoulder and two broken bones.
It is likely the bill for surgery to
remove the lead and set the bones could
reach $4000, particularly with aftercare.
When the North Canterbury News went
to print, it was still not known if Hobo’s
leg could be saved.
Barb Demmock says she is angry that
anyone would take apot shot at Hobo
with apellet gun.
‘‘She has been deliberately shot.
Someone has been out to get her.’’
While Hobo was known to venture
away from home, it was only in Dock
Creek, as she was too frightened to try to
cross the road, Barb says. This is
evidenced by the rats she brings home.
The incident has been reported to the
Amberley police in the hope that, if the
person who shot the cat can be found,
they can foot the bill for her surgery and
care.

Council adopts new dog control bylaw
From Page 1
Horserider Robin Marshall,
who exercises her horses
most days on the hills just
northofRangiora, welcomes
the change.
‘‘I guess it couldhavegone
further, but it would appear to
very much place the onus on
owners to maintain effective
control of their dogs around
horses.’’
Robinsays the gravel roads
on the hills above Ashleyare
increasingly popular with
recreational users —horse
riders,mountainbikers,
runners and walkers,
including those exercising
was prettyspecial. And that is always the
aim, says outgoing PTA chairwoman Alex
McNabb.
‘‘It'samassive job, organising, planning,
and assemblingthe grotto every year. In
2017, it ended up in the toohardbasket;
theirdogs.
Most dog owners do the
right thing, and ensure their
animal is under control when
horses approach, she says.
However, some simply don't
have meaningfulcontrol of
theirdogs.
It has led to someheated
exchanges,she says.
‘‘Onewoman told me that
her dog was fine around
horses as it ran towards me. It
neverseemed to occur to her
that some horses get very
nervous when dogs run at
them,orstartmoving around
theirlegs.’’
Robinsays she understands
that all recreational users are
out to enjoy the countryside.
It's simply amatter of people
showing reasonable respect
for other users.
‘‘My understandingisthat
the bylaw has always
required dogs to be kept
undercontinuousand
effective control at all times
in public places. The fact that
the councilhas added the
horseclause recognises the
very real safety risk for riders
if the dog is not under
control.’’
Robinsays she also
welcomes the ban on running
dogs frombehind vehicles.‘‘It
happens all the time up here.
The other day someone drove
andthis year's event took five days to set
up,with astruggle to find enough
volunteers to get it off the ground.
‘‘But it's agreat earner for the PTA, with
every dollar going back to the school.And
it's all aboutthe children.They loveit!''

Fire restrictions move closer
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The potentialfor an extreme
fire riskisgrowing across
North Canterbury afterthe
regionbaskedinagreat
springand early summer.
North Canterbury principal
rural fire officer Bruce Janes
says while it is nice and green
at the moment,arestricted
fire season could be just a
coupleofweeks away.
‘‘Overall, the fire risk at the
momentisprobably
moderate.
‘‘But it is escalating quickly.
The indices are climbing and
Ithink we will see restrictions
within aweek or two.’’
Mr Janes says the decision
over restrictions will be based
on science. In the meantime,
aircraft willtake to the air if
there are any reports of
smoke to get aquick
assessment of any
requirement to get firetrucks
and people to the site.
He urges anyone who has
had afire in the past three
months or so to checkifitis
still smouldering ,
particularlywith the forecast
nor’westwinds in the next few
days.
Mr Janessays there has
been massive growth and if
the region dries out, afire
couldspread quicklywith the
amount of fuelaround.
Little rain fell on the east
coastofthe SouthIsland in
the latest roundofrough
weather, but the
accompanying nor’wester
dried out any long grass and
vegetationthroughout the
district.
‘‘We will just havetowait
and see what Mother Nature
brings,’’ Mr Janes says.
Longtime Waipara
resident John McCaskey is
worried about the growing
fire riskinNorth Canterbury.
He believes the district’s
3
roadsides need urgent
attention.
‘‘The New Zealand
Transport Agency has mowed
some of the roadsides but
appear to havecalled an early
Christmas or run out of
money,’’ he says.
‘‘Also,northwest of
Waiparaand Amberley, we
now have some significant
forestry, someofwhich has
been harvested,leaving a
timebomb of fire fuel,’’ Mr
McCaskey says.
The slash could also prove a
probleminheavy rain if it was
swept away intostreams and
bridges, he says.

Tearing up the roads ... Burntout tyres were left at the scene, still on their rims.
Boy racers damage road
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Boys racersrippedupbitumen,
urinated in aresident’s garden, broke
bottles, and left wheels and litter
behindafter an earlymorningvisit to
the Mandeville area lastSunday.
Their anticsaround JacksonsRoad
and Tram Road left nearby residents
feeling threatened. Some feared that
the reckless behaviour of the group
was going to end in tragedy.
The group turned up around 2.45am
and performed burnoutsonJacksons
Road, ripping up the tarseal, while
black skidmarks were also left behind
on Tram Road.
Once the tyresofatleastone car
were shreddedand on fire, two of the
wheelswere takenoff and left behind
along with glass and bottles.
‘‘You could hear themfixing cars
and both wheels coming off. They come
prepared. They don’t worry about
changing tyresany more,’’aresident
said.
Burningrubber couldbesmelt
inside nearby houses, and one resident
said at leasttwo girlshad used their
garden as atoilet and couldbeseen
runningfrom the property.
‘‘It is just ridiculous. It is not safe.
Someoneisgoingtoget killed,’’ the
resident said.
The group was not just kids.
‘‘Therewere olderpeople there;
they were well organised, and probably
call themselves car enthusiasts.’’
Previously, when agroup of boy
racers had turnedupthe area, it was
later learnedthey had come from
Cashmere. ‘‘They haven’t been back for
awhile.’’
Photos were takenofthe earlier
group and residents had complained to
the policepreviously.

Filipinos build lives
Last weekIhad the pleasure of
meeting with Filipino students at
Amuri Area School with List MP Paulo
Garcia.
The 40 Filipino students make up a
significant proportionofthe schoolroll
of 347.
Paulo is New Zealand’s first Filipino
MP and it was greatfor him to make
contact with this part of the North
Canterbury community, as he also did
recently in Marlborough.
Most of the childrenstill spoke
Tagalog, the national language of the
Philippines, while for others it had
faded over the years.
What they all share as families are
the huge sacrifices theyhave made,
including separating from each other
for many months, to createabetterlife
here.
The Filipino community has become
an important part of the Amuri area;
local businesses, and the dairy
industry, are reliant on them to staff
their farms, cafes and more.
The children told us that in the

Girls' Night Out asellout
By SHELLEY TOPP
AChristmas shopping night
fundraiser organised by
Rangiora’s Sarah McMinn
was asellout success.
Tickets to AGirls’ Night Out
sold out before the event and
shoppers were queuing at the
door 30 minutes before
opening time at 7.30pm last
Thursday.
The event was held at the
Rangiora A&P Showgrounds
function centre to raise funds
for the Rangiora Health Hub.
It encouraged people to shop
locally and gave women a
night out.
Funds raised on the night
will be used to buy partner
beds for the health hub.
Each bed costs about $2000,
Sarah says, and it is likely
there will be enough money

Delight over graduation
It was very specialtoattend agraduation
ceremony in the Christchurch Town Hall
on November20, where AmuriArea
School students were rewarded after their
individualinvolvement in an experience
and extension programme.
The programme is backedbyLincoln
and Canterbury universities.
The Children’sUniversity Canterbury
Partnership offerseducational
experiences for children and recognises
theirachievements through the award of
formal certificates and graduation.
The model has astrongemphasis on
experienceasasignificant learning tool,
and must link in someway to auniversity
course.
It was great to seethe delight of the
children, their parentsand teachers as
they paraded in full graduation regalia —
robe,coloursand mortar board.
In the Omihi Hall on November 25, the
boardofEventful Hurunui hosted a
workshopwith aTaurangasocial media
managementexpert,Brent Ireland, from
Collab Digital.
The learning opportunity focused on
social mediaand how it may assist
businesses and individuals.
Awell known media guru, Leo Burnett,
said:“Make it simple, make it memorable,
make it inviting to lookatand make it fun
to read.’’
With social media becoming such a
powerfuland costeffective way of
marketing,the seminarwas about
upskilling in this fastmoving space.
Businesses and eventsare encouraged
to register on the Eventful Hurunui
website by emailing
info@eventfulhurunui.co.nz. This free
platform is designed to become the “goto”
resourcefor events in the Hurunui.
The openingofthe AmuriEstate
wedding and conferencevenue gives us
another fine asset in the Hurunui District.
The venue needs to be seentobe
believed. Its breathtakingviewsofthe
Southern Alps and close proximityto
Hanmer Springs makesitisanidyllic
setting for awedding or conference.
The council has adopted the annual
report for the yearendedJune 30, 2019.
The council continues to focus on
affordability and prudent financial
management, and this has held us in good
steadtodeal with the adverse events that
Mother Nature has thrown our way.
We remain confident that the recovery of
the HurunuiDistrictfrom the 2016
HurunuiKaikoura earthquake remains on
track.
`We just need to get SH1 sorted out'
By DAVID HILL
ShonaPowell expectsabusy
threeyears ahead for the
WoodendSefton Community
Board.
Populationgrowth, roading and
public transport remain the
biggest issues facing the
Woodend, Pegasus and Waikuku
areasfor the boardthat was
elected in October.
‘‘We justneed to get State
Highway 1sorted out and get
everything in place to supportthe
growth,’’ saysShona, who has
been reappointed chairwoman.
‘‘With Ravenswood coming
along andthe supermarket
opening next year, it will create a
wholenew community.’’
She saysthe boardhas
welcomed new board member
Mark Paterson,who also chairs
the WoodendCommunity
Association, and the two council
appointees have changed, withCr
Philip Redmondand Cr Sandra
Stewart joining.
‘‘It’s really business as usual.
We had set the directionwe
wanted to head before the
election and it hasn’treally
changed.And the mayor (Dan
Gordon) has identified roading is
an issuehewould like to pursue
as well, which we are very,very
pleasedabout.’’
Shonasays one of the priorities
for thenew term will be improving
connections between the different
communities.
‘‘We wanttomake sure there’s a
community feel between them,
particularly Woodend,
Ravenswoodand Pegasus.
‘‘Thechallenge is to connect
new residents with their new
community, and it’s achallenge
that many communities in the
Waimakariri are finding.
‘‘Residents commuting into
Christchurch often see the city as
the place theyconnect with,but
that’s changing.’’
She saysthe boardhas made 15
submissions so far in 2019,
includingtothe Transport Agency
on roadsafety,toEnvironment
Canterbury on the bus service
reviews, and to the Waimakariri
District Council on the annual
plan and proposed bylaws.
‘‘It’s been abusy yearfor
making submissions, but that’s
just one of the ways we represent
the community in giving it avoice
and we takefull advantage of it.’’
She welcomesnews of
improvedpublic transport
connections for Woodend with
Kaiapoi and Rangiora.

their own blood supply, they rely on trans
fer of fluid from the surrounding tissue to
keep them healthy and hydrated and over
the years as discs get thinner with age, they
lose the ability to take on fluid (just like
squeezing a sponge) and they start to
de-hydrate.
De-Hydrated discs are less flexible, they are
harder, more prone to injury, they interfere
with nerve roots creating pain and
ultimately the de-hydration causes degen
eration. The Teeter Inversion table slowly
and gently brings the hydration back into
the discs, plumping them up. It separates
the nerve roots far more effectively and
returns quality of life
Muscles: Alot of pain is muscular, when
muscles are stressed they become tight
which restricts the flow of blood and lymph
through the muscles so toxins build up,
Co2 and Lactic Acid. Traction opens up the
muscles, Rhythmic Traction, is a gentle
rocking motion that stimulates circulation
and encourages blood flow through the
muscles, which clears the lactic acid into
your lymph system where it stimulates
lymph flow and deals with it. Most people
with serious neck issues see a large
improvement after only one treatment.
Then try aTeeter
WHY INVERSION?
Because in most cases it works! Inversion Therapyisthe oldest recorded
medical curefor backissues,first recorded by Hippocrates in 400 BC,
otherwise knownasspinal traction. Traction wasused by modern
hospitals formanyyears howeverbecauseitisaslow processand ties
up hospital beds formanyweeks,they recently stopped using the
treatment.
Inversion Therapyisgentleand relaxing if done properly and has many
other benefits apartfromrelievingback pain, it helps realignthe spine
and pelvic area, loosens up tightmuscles,increases oxygen to the brain,
stimulatescirculation and the lymphatic system and has manyother
benefits.
Inversion NZ have been teaching people howtouse this treatmentfor
over twelveyears, it is an amazing process with most people getting off
the Teeter pain free forthe first time in years or with their pain substantially
reduced.The relief usually lasts around 30 minutes to three hours
and as the pain returns youuse the machine again, afterusing this
method of treatment, in afew weeks the relief increases,which is the
discs starting to retain morefluid,muscles starting to loosen up and the
body coming back into alignment. In our experiencemost people are
pain free in around three months,then the Teeter is used daily to
maintain the health of the body.
WHY TEETER?
Thebiggest issue with inversion tables is thereisnosafetystandards
thatneed to be met.Because of this,other brands use mild steel for
100% of the metal involved.Mildsteel is greatfor static loads,inother
wordsthings thatdon’t move such as chairs,tables etc, howeverwith
Inversion Therapythereisconsiderable movementand this movement
causes mild steel to flex. Because it alwaysflexes in the same placeit
eventually causes metal fatigue and can result in failure.
AllTeeters aremanufactured forextreme safety. Heattreatedhigh
tensile steel has been used in all areas subjectedtostress.High tensile
steel is far stronger and most importantly does not flex. This means
Teeters arethe strongest and safest tables on the market today.
Posture: Poor posture is one of the
major cases of pain and is amajor contributor
to the deterioration of the body with
age.Adifferenceinleg length causes most
of the hip and knee issues, asthey continue
to place uneven loads on the joints;
similar to the wheels out of alignment on
your car.
Trying to correct posture is extremely
difficult due to muscle memory, as it
constantly pulls the muscles back to where
they were. At alevel of 40 degrees or more
on the Teeter, the muscle groups open up
and eventually come back into alignment,
using the table daily, does not allow the
muscle memory to pull them back out of
alignment and slowly the muscles start to
lose their memory and go with the flow,
allowing the body to come back into
correct posture. Then using the table once a
day will ensureitiskeptthere.
This is pure logic, if amachine is out of
alignment it does not last long, the only
difference between the body and a
machine is that the body is constantly
repairing itself, however if the wear and
tear on the body is greater than the body’s
ability to repair itself, it is aslow decline.
The Teeter slowly brings the body out of its
decline and allows the body to repair itself,
resulting in afar healthier life.
If you are serious about investing in your
health and really sorting your issues out,
come see us at one of our local roadshows,
youhavenothing to lose and chancesare,a
lot to gain.

Accommodation is in short supply as the
new summer season hots up in Kaikoura.
DestinationKaikoura’s Glenn Ormsby
says the town’stourism operators are
feeling positive as the region continuesto

‘‘In the last three weekends
accommodation has beensold out, with
the Royalvisit and events the two
previous weekends,’’ Mr Ormsbysaid last
week.
‘‘The feedback fromthe operators in
town is very promising and forward
bookings are very strong.’’
He encourages visitors planning to stay
overnight in Kaikourathis summer to get
in contact withthe iSite, if theydon’t
have abed booked, as accommodation is
tight after the earthquake.
Work is under way on construction of
the 120bed Sudima Hotel, which is due
to openinearly 2021,and it cannotcome
soon enough.
‘‘It willhave abeautiful view acrossthe
bay,’’MrOrmsbysays.
‘‘We have major coaching companies
from the United States and Australia
wanting to stop off with tour groupsin
Kaikoura, so once the hotel opens they
will be able to that and they will come in
winteraswell.’’
Arecord 13 cruise shipswere
scheduled to visitKaikourathis summer,
but two have been cancelled already due
to weather conditions.

By DAVID HILL
The new Woodend War Memorial will be
formally unveiled on Sunday.
Woodend Lions president Ian Lennie
says he is looking forward to handing
over the memorial to the community at
the end of atwoyear journey.
‘‘It’s all go. The memorial is almost
finished.
‘‘The flag pole is up and the council
just has one last tidyup to do before
Sunday.
‘‘It’s been atwoyear journey. It took a
while to get the funding in place and
then 10 months to get it built.’’
The Woodend Lions led the
fundraising project with nearly $60,000
raised, while the Waimakariri District
Council’s greenspace team projectmanaged
the construction of the
memorial.
Mr Lennie says the memorial, located
next to the Woodend Community Centre,
will carry around 30 names of soldiers
who lost their lives.
They have been taken from memorial
boards in the Woodend Community
Centre and in the Brick Mill Cafe in
Waikuku.
Unlike the memorial boards, the new
memorial will be accessible at all times.
Mr Lennie hopes it will become afocal
point on Anzac Day.
‘‘Right from the start we identified
that Woodend didn’t have awar
memorial and we wanted to create one
with aunique and modern design.’’
He says the project has been made
possible with the support of the
Rangiora and Kaiapoi RSAs, the council
and the wider community.
‘‘Whenever we’ve asked for support,
it’s been forthcoming. It’s been ajoy to
be involved in it.’’
The memorial will be unveiled during
ashort ceremony at 11am on Sunday,
with national RSA president BJ Clark,
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon and MP
Matt Doocey invited to attend.

Community digs deep
for Woodend hangi
By DAVID HILL
Adrienne Simpson was feeling proud
during Friday’s communityhangi and
culturalday.
The Woodend School principal was
thrilled with how the event went off, after
joining forceswith the Woodend
CommunityAssociation for the firsttime.
‘‘It’s wonderful. In the past we’ve only
had the hangi everysecondyear,but it’s
wonderful to have the support of the
community associationinraising funds
and sponsorship so we can have it as an
annual event.’’
She saidthe children spent the day
before doing ‘‘a rotationofactivities’’,
including learningMaori games, waiata,
making fry bread,flax weaving,digging the
pit for the hangi, andpeeling and
preparing vegetables.
Ateam led by ToniPitamaand assisted
by members of KaiapoiHigh School’s kapa
haka group prepared the hangi, which was
gratefully received by pupilsand
community members alike.
Woodend CommunityAssociation
president Mark Patersonsaid his
organisationwas pleased to be ableto
support the event.
‘‘The idea was that in the past the school
hasasked the families to donate goods, but
this year the community association used
itscontacts to seek funding, products and
time.
‘‘We want to try to get the community to
come into the school and see whatkids do
andwecan only grow it from here. It will
getbigger and better.’’
He saidaround $5000 was raised in
money, goods andtime to stagethe event.
‘‘The response we got from the community
wasamazing and it was actually quite easy
to put it together.’’
Pupils andvisitorswere entertained on
Friday with performancesfrom various
groups, including the Woodend School
choir and the school’sYear 78 jump jam
team, whichhas enjoyed recent success.
Ms Simpson says the jump jam team
wonthe Year 78 Xtreme category in the
South Island jumpjam championships last
month. Its squad is rankedsecond in New
Zealand.

CAR PARKING INMANDEVILLE
Motorists who visit Mandeville will have noticed
it’s oen hard to find acar park
People who use the area will know it’s not uncommon tosee cars parked
on the road verge and in the reserve during busy times.
To solve this problem the Council are looking at ways we can provide
more parks nearby.
Your input will inform the Council decision on what option is
supported and where car parking may be formalised in the future.
There are anumber of options we are looking at which include:
• A Reserves Act designation change to the adjacent reserve –from
a‘plantation reserve’ to a‘community reserve’. This would mean
we can tidy up the reserve (where people park now) and develop
recreation space here. It’s also asafe option as it’s beside the
shopping centre.
• Look at establishing parking on the reserve across McHughs Road.
This would also require alegal designation change from ‘plantation
reserve’ to ‘community reserve’. This option is seen as less attractive
as it would require shoppers to cross the busy stretch of road and is
further from the village.
• The third option is to work with developers to create acar park on
private land. This is needs further investigation and agreement, one
being that this will be acost toCouncil to either buy or lease land.
Visit waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk to see maps of the first
two proposals.

By DAVID HILL
Rangiora is gearing up for Santa’s
official return on Sunday.
Around 50 vendors have been lined
up for the Christmas Party in the Park

choosing the winner of the bestdecorated

‘‘The Rangiora Borough School has
won it for three years running. They’ve
got the people and they work on it for

By SHELLEY TOPP
The Kaiapoi Community
Garden is agreat place to
make friends and learn, the
woman who began it says.
Woodend’s Helen Roberts
started the garden in 2010
after being inspired by
another community garden.
‘‘All Idid was gather some
people with skills and let
them go,’’ she says. ‘‘Look
what has happened.
‘‘We have agreat trust
running the garden now, a
really nice group of people,
and it is areally good place to
come to. It’s ahappy place,’’
she says.
‘‘We are very proud of it
because it’s alot of fun. We
have made some great
friends here.’’
Achildren’s play area,
complete with sandpit and
wooden kitchen workspace
made by the Kaiapoi Menz
Shed, has recently been
installed in the garden, which
is in the Kaiapoi Borough
School’s playing field, next to
the railway line in Hilton St.
The garden also has anew
seedraising shed, made by
the Kaiapoi Menz Shed as
well, raised garden beds, a
‘‘bug Hilton’’, garden art, and
Flossie, the Kaiapoi Borough
School’s former dental clinic,
which was moved to the
garden for indoor workshops
during the colder months.
‘‘We held acompetition to
find aname for the building,’’
Helen explains. ‘‘‘Flossie was
the best one.’’

Tidying up
the garden?
LOVE YOUR LAND
Oversummer,asthe soilreally starts to
warm, it is allgointhe garden,withcrops
activelygrowing.
Manyspringplantedcropsare now
ready forharvest, such as potatoes,
broccoli, cabbage,lettuce, peasand broad
beans.
The vital ingredientover thenextfew
monthsiswater, as wellasmulchand
liquid fertiliserstokeepcrops thriving.
Potatoes: Everyone who hadtheircrops in
early should be enjoyingthe fruitsoftheir
effortsthis month, as most should be
ready to dig. Once theplantshave
finished floweringorwhenthe stems start
to turnyellowand wilttheyare ready to
harvest. Using agarden fork, start digging
deeplyfrom theoutsideofthe plantto
catch the outer crop. Hopefullyyou will
missforkingyour new spuds. Once
mature, thecrop willlastinthe soil for
manyweeks. Never store harvested
potatoes in the fridge. Instead, with new
potatoes, leave thesoil on themand cover
themwith adamp sack andkeep them
somewhere darkand cool.Main crop
potatoes willstillbeinthe ground.Mound
the soiluparound the baseofthe plants,
and water them deeply at least twice a
week.
Beetroot: As soon as beetslooklike they
are areasonablesizetoeat (tennis ball for
globe types or 57cm wide forcylindrical
ones),theycan be harvested. If the soil is
moist enough they shouldpullout easily.
If you have arow of beets, harvestthe crop
intermittently, leaving every secondor
third root in the ground.Wash andremove
the foliage andstore in thefridge.
Remember,those leaves are tasty too, so
throw theminto asalad.New seedlings or
seeds can be put in theground now too.
Radish: Nuggetsofpeppery goodness.
Oneofthe quickest crops to grow, they’re
areliablecampaignerfor the vegetable
garden.From sowingofseeds to picking
of bunches takes fourtosix weeks. Once
radishesget to size they are at theirbest.
Fresh,sweet juicypeas: Just one of the
joyfulcropsofthe early summergarden.
Pick thepods as soonasthey get to size;
this is whenthe peasare at their sweetest.
If you findany larger podsyou missed in
earlier harvests,pickthesetoo, as by
doingthisitencourages moreflowersand
then another harvest later.Peasare prone
to mildew.. You can avoid it by watering
thesoil.Itistoo latetoplantany more
peas now.
Broad beans: Lovethem or hatethem,
broadbeansshould be at their best for
Christmas Day if theywere plantedin
winter. Plants will keepflowering and

Patrol group needsto
upgrade its vehicle
By SHELLEY TOPP
The RangioraCommunity
Patrolvolunteers have a
new patrolvehicle on their
wish list for Christmas this
year.
The patrol received an
early Christmas present as
one of MainPower’s 2019
Community Fund
recipients, but moremoney
is neededtoreplace its old
SuzukiVitara, which has
110,000kmonthe odometer.
The RangioraCommunity
Patrolwas formed24years
ago as the Rangiora
Community Watch. It is part
of the CommunityPatrols of
New Zealand network and
had aname change recently
to align with that.
The patrols are organised
and run by volunteers in
their communities and
fundedwith grants,
sponsorships and
donations.
The volunteers work
closely with police as extra
“eyes and ears” to assist
them and other agencies to
build safer communities.
The patrols are
independent from the
policebut receiveregular
policeguidance, training
and tasking.
‘‘We drivearoundthe
Upgrade needed ... Rangiora Community Patrol volunteers Des
and Judy East with the patrol car they are hoping to replace with
anew one.

business and residential
areas on the lookoutfor
anything suspicious,’’
Rangiora Community Patrol
volunteer Des Eastsays.
The volunteers also patrol
areas police ask them to
monitor.
If volunteers find any
suspicious activity, they do
not intervene. ‘‘We hang
backand we advisethe
police and they take it from
there,’’ Des says.
The patrolalso needs
morevolunteer drivers,
passengers and camera
operators.
‘‘We must have two people
in the car in case we need a
witness,’’ Des says.
Having two volunteers in
the patrolvehicle also
enablesthe driver to
concentrate on driving and
the passenger to
concentrate on observing.
‘‘We normally only
requireone shift per month
from volunteers for about
three to four hours.’’
To become avolunteer
community patrol officer,
applicantsmust be aged
over 18 and pass apolice
check.

Hidden treasures an important part of history
By DAVID HILL
Hiddentreasuresmay be buried on your
farm.
Heritage New Zealand (HNZ) was on
hand at the New Zealand Agricultural
Show last month to give farmers tips on
what to do if they findarchaeological
treasuresontheir farms.
Archaeologist GwenJackson says
historicalartefacts createdbefore1900
are of interest.
“UnderNew Zealand law, anything in
New Zealand that was createdby
humansand is evidence of the
occupation before 1900 is protectedas
archaeology and you have to have an
authority fromHeritage New Zealandif
you are going to impact that.”
She saysthere is awide rangeof
archaeology whichcould be found on
Canterbury farms, including Maori rock
art, the remains of pre1900 buildings
and rabbitproof fences.
Ms Jacksonsays thereare more than
700 known examples of Maori rock art
withinthe Ngai Tahu rohe, almost all of
it on privateland.
The Department of Conservation
recently completedarchaeological work
on Acheron Accommodation Houseat
Molesworth Station, in partnership with

HNZ, she says.
The cob cottage was built in 1863to
provide aplace to stayfor travellers
between Nelson and Canterbury. It was
badly damaged in the 2016 earthquake.
Duringrepairs,archaeological
investigations found the walls were
made of local tussock, clay, animal dung
and water. Woodenwedges, or ‘‘nailing
pegs’’, werebuilt intothe cob to nail
things to the walls, but whilethe pegs
supported the doorframes and skirting
boards,nopicture railswere ever put up.
The original house had no hallway,
with one being added later with newer
materials.
Evidence of whisky bottles, mutton
bones and achild’sskipping ropewere
found underthe floor.

Southbrook falls well
short in run chase
Apowerful LeestonSouthbridge outfit
flexed its muscles to toppleclosest

to the top of country cricket.
Atrio of Chamberlain brothers
conspired to defend amodest total and
overcome adisappointingSouthbrook
run chase by 60 runsonthe neutral
Mandeville ground at Ohokainthe
latest roundofthe CRV Ambreed
CountryPremier One Day Competition.
After being insertedatthe toss,
LeestonSouthbridgebattled hard
againstarelentless bowlingattack.
Canterbury Country representative
Harry Chamberlain (26runs off 45
balls),former Dutch internationalTim
Gruijters (33 off 43), and Rupert Young
(20 off 29), brother of fringe Central
Stags star Will Young, helped Leeston
Southbridgeeke out amodest 141 runs
before being bowledout in the 35th
over.
Paceman Sam Ermerins was the pick
of the Brook bowlers with fourwickets,
while Darryn Boyle’s enticing
outswingers snared three.
In reply, Southbrook was soon in
trouble, with former Black Caps and
Canterbury stalwart Shanan Stewart
unable to make the combined side pay
for an early drop,strangled downthe
leg side soon afterfor just 13.
Canterbury batsman Jack Boyle,
backingupfrom his sparkling92ina

Auckland Aces at Hagley Oval the
previous day, also fell cheaply, leaving
Southbrookreeling at 24/3.
Reckless shots, an unwillingness to
occupy the crease, and quality bowling
saw Southbrook bundled out for just 81
runs inside26overs. Harry
Chamberlain ripped out four wickets,
while Ben Chamberlain got two,and
Sam Chamberlainone.
The dominant win sees Leeston
Southbridgeoccupy the top spot.

‘‘I learned very early on in my

possiblefor others, does not always fit with
Bronwyn. She is agutsy,toughand focused
individual,’’ he says.
Nigelsays thatdoublemini competition
always involves strategy and you needto
be abletoadapt to what others are doing
and what you need to do.
‘‘We could haveattempted atougher
