Tractor’srevival acommunity affair<br />
By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />
It takesavillage to raise a<br />
tractor. At least that’s the<br />
experienceofAlex Mitchell<br />
and his recently refurbished<br />
<strong>19</strong>51David Brown<br />
Cropmaster.<br />
David Brownsaren’t<br />
particularly rare. There were<br />
manyaroundinthe ’50s, says<br />
Alex, but he really wantedone<br />
withadouble seat,sothat he<br />
and his wife Karen could ride<br />
side by side on atractorbuilt<br />
for two.<br />
‘‘The twoseater models<br />
aren’tsocommon.They were<br />
made so the driver could have<br />
someone sitting beside them<br />
to helpoperate the plough,for<br />
example,’’ Alex says.<br />
With the Cropmaster<br />
delivered and taking pride of<br />
place in the garage, it became<br />
apparentthe body was tired<br />
and the engine needed an<br />
overhaul,although it didn’t<br />
takemuch to start it. However,<br />
the machine had issues.<br />
‘‘There was waterinthe oil,<br />
dirtinthe fuelsystem,and the<br />
water pump didn’tjust leak, it<br />
gushed,’’ Alex says.<br />
‘‘I turnedtothe expertise of<br />
knowledgeable locals with<br />
different skills, who helped get<br />
it tidied up, andlookingand<br />
going like it doestoday.’’<br />
The bodywork was pulled<br />
off and the huntgot under way<br />
for replacement parts.<br />
‘‘I foundanother<br />
Cropmaster in Nelson,and<br />
one of the guystook atruck<br />
and trailerupthere and<br />
brought it down,’’ Alex says.<br />
‘‘But whenitgot here, it<br />
turnedout it was adifferent<br />
model.Ithad ashorter<br />
chassis,sonone of the tinwork<br />
fitted, which was disappointing.And<br />
the steering<br />
wheel,whichIwas also after,<br />
turnedout to be off acar.’’<br />

Candidate spending released<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The six biggest spenders vying for the<br />
mayoralty or aseat at the Waimakariri<br />
District Council’s table had mixed<br />
fortunes.<br />
The council released details on<br />
Tuesday of donations received by<br />
candidates and their expenses from this<br />
year’s local government election.<br />
Top spender Dan Gordon spent<br />
$37,295.85 on his successful bid for the<br />
mayoralty, of which $20,985 was donated<br />
in support of his campaign.<br />
There was aspending limit of $40,000<br />
for mayoral candidates in the district,<br />
and $20,000 for candidates seeking a<br />
council seat.<br />
Unsuccessful mayoral contender<br />
Oliver Sanderson spent $<strong>19</strong>.809.26,<br />
while Robbie Brine spent $17,005 also in<br />
an unsuccessful bid for the top job, but<br />
he did win aseat at the council table in<br />
the RangioraAshley ward.<br />
Two candidates, Wendy Doody<br />
(OxfordOhoka ward) and Paul Williams<br />
(RangioraAshley ward), spent just over<br />
$10,000 each on failed mayoralty bids,<br />
but both were successful in being reelected<br />
as councillors.<br />
Phillip Redmond (KaiapoiWoodend<br />
ward), spent $9226 in his successful bid<br />
for aseat at the council.<br />
Neville Atkinson, who has been<br />
elected deputy mayor, spent ameagre<br />
$399.14, to retain his council seat.<br />
Six candidates did not spend acent.<br />
Two gained aseat on acommunity<br />
board, one failed to get elected to<br />
council, and three failed to gain a<br />
community board seat.<br />
In the Hurunui District, where the<br />
limit for expenditure in the mayoralty<br />
race was $14,000, elected mayor Marie<br />
Black spent $10,000.30 on signage,<br />

seats around the council table and<br />
Hanmer Springs Community Board did<br />
not spend anything on their campaigns,<br />
while the few that did spent well under<br />
the limit of $3500 in the south and east<br />

Wind farm aims to be running by late 2021<br />
From Page 1<br />
‘‘It will also assist in<br />
meeting the future energy<br />
requirements of our<br />
customers and play an<br />
important role in New<br />
Zealand’s journey towards<br />
resilience and the reduction<br />
of greenhouse carbon<br />
dioxide emissions.’’<br />
Preconstruction work<br />
includes final civil and<br />
electrical design work, as<br />
well as planning for the<br />
predatorfree areas of<br />
native shrub and forest<br />
included in the 127 hectares<br />
of land to be protected as<br />
part of the project.<br />
Mr Lester says MainPower<br />
will be working with all<br />
stakeholders in the coming<br />
months, including<br />
landowners, local<br />
community, iwi and the<br />
Department of Conservation<br />
to finalise the<br />
environmental and<br />
construction management<br />
plans.<br />
The chairman of<br />
MainPower’s board, Tony<br />
King, says the project is<br />
exciting for MainPower,<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
‘‘The MainPower Trust,<br />
board and executive team<br />
have been working on this<br />
for nearly two decades and<br />
we are delighted to<br />
announce this positive<br />
investment decision,’’ he<br />
says. Offtake arrangements<br />
are expected to be finalised<br />
by July 2020. An offtake<br />
agreement is an<br />
arrangement between a<br />
producer and abuyer for the<br />
sale of the produced goods<br />
—inthis case, power.<br />
Tired old tractor restored to former glory<br />
From Page 1<br />
However, its wheels, tyres, gauges,<br />
switches and seats were useful.<br />
The rest was onsold and has been<br />
transformed into auseable tractor, so<br />
in trying to save the first Cropmaster,<br />
two have now been rescued, Alex says.<br />
‘‘A friend down the road helped<br />
straighten and paintthe old body<br />
panels, seeing as the new ones wouldn’t<br />
fit.<br />
‘‘And Vapor Blast <strong>Canterbury</strong>, in<br />
Summerhill, cleaned up the fuel system<br />
and some of the brasswork to better<br />
than new.’’<br />
The tractor’s first outing was to the<br />
Rangiora Show in October.<br />
Alex is now hoping to have agroup of<br />
David Brown tractors from Cust —<br />
there are several enthusiastic owners<br />
in the village —head up to the Oxford<br />
A&P Show in April next year to make a<br />
day of it.<br />

Milestone marks Waiau’srebirth<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Acelebration of community<br />
and its response to nature have<br />
been captured in asculpture in<br />
Waiau’s Village Green.<br />
UpstandingSculpture took<br />
centrestage at the opening of<br />
the VillageGreen last Friday.<br />
It is the Waiau community’s<br />
response to the third<br />
anniversary of the 2016<br />
7.8magnitude earthquake,<br />
whichhad its epicentre close<br />
to the <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> town.<br />
Sculpted by Aucklandartist<br />
Rebecca Rose,the five<br />
uprights represent people<br />
bringing their uniquequalities<br />
and standing together.<br />
‘‘Therecycled hardwood<br />
refers to the bridges and links<br />
that have been and stillare<br />
vitaltoWaiau’sexistence,’’<br />
Rebecca said in adescription<br />
sent to Waiau Residents<br />
Association presidentSue<br />
Galletly, who led the opening<br />
ceremony.<br />
‘‘Thestainless steel inserts<br />
reflect the braided rivers of the<br />
region and their constantly<br />
changingpatterns.<br />
‘‘This sculpture is asymbol<br />
of humanity’s neverending<br />
dancewith its environment.’’<br />
Sue saidthe communityhad<br />
decided to put money toward<br />
an art work for the Village<br />
Greentoacknowledge the<br />
quakejourney, rather than<br />
hold another event<br />
commemoratingthe significant<br />
impact it had on the town, its<br />
people and the district.<br />
Two Waiau identities, Bruce<br />
Forbes and DaveLott,cut the<br />
ribbon on thesculpture.<br />
They are typicalofmany in<br />
the Waiau communitywho<br />
have donated their time,<br />
machineryand passion to<br />
projects.<br />
Others provided the final<br />
push to keepprojectsalive for<br />
thelocal committees,<br />
organisations and stalwartsin<br />
thecommunity who led them.<br />
Thecelebration on the green<br />
also included the Bruce Forest<br />
Pathway, which links the old<br />
jail to the historical corner of<br />
theVillage Green,its museum,<br />
thestoryboards, sculpture and<br />
theAmuri Historical Society’s<br />
newGig Shed, complete with<br />
gigs and harness.<br />
Thetown now sports anew<br />
playcentre and swimming pool,<br />
while its historic cob cottage is<br />
under repair and theMemorial<br />
Hall is getting aspruceup.<br />
Mrs Galletly toldthe<br />
gathering it was difficult to<br />
name all those involved in the<br />
renewalofWaiau, and the bevy<br />
of localorganisationsand<br />
individuals,along with some<br />
from outoftown who helped<br />
fund community initiatives.<br />
The physical buildings are<br />
there for everyone to see.But it<br />
has been the community’s<br />
heart and soul,and local<br />
contractors who justsought to<br />
cover their costs, or lowered<br />
their hourly rateaswellas<br />
donating their time to support<br />
projects, that have seen the<br />
town rise abovethe forces that<br />
left it reeling.<br />
Achoir from the Waiau<br />
School broughtChristmas<br />
cheer to the celebration with<br />

Hugh was headofrugby.’’<br />
Hugh,who is alsosportyand enjoys playing<br />
the piano and guitar, agreesthat Ohoka School<br />
was crucial in his development.<br />
‘‘Whether you were particularlygood at<br />
something or not, Ohokagave us opportunities<br />
and the courage to grabthem. Now, all thistime<br />
down the track, I’m really excited to know what’s<br />

Emily, who enjoys dancing, expectsittobe<br />
pretty full on. She is the thirdgeneration of her<br />
family to attendStAndrew’s,and has relatives<br />
who were also headofcollege, some of whom<br />
went through Ohoka School as well.<br />
‘‘There will be pointsnext year wherewe’ll be<br />
superbusy,jugglingsports, and cultural<br />

Government Act 2002 AmendmentBill<br />

Potentially, this couldresultinthe<br />

Nanda finds solace in helping others<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Helpingothersovercome tragedy has<br />
changed Nanda Rammers’life.<br />
The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>resident has<br />
turned her life around by supporting<br />
members of the Muslim community in<br />
the wake of the March 15 terrorist<br />
attacks in Christchurch, aftersuffering<br />
abreakdown herself earlier this year.<br />
Nandaarrivedin<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
from the Netherlands in 2001 with her<br />
husband and daughter, and ‘‘three<br />
suitcases and no keys’’.<br />
She trainedininterior design,<br />
started her own business in 2008 and<br />
beganteachingatthe Ara Instituteof<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> 2 1 ⁄2 years ago.<br />
One of her colleagues was in the<br />
Linwood mosque when the shooting<br />
occurred and he returned to Ara while<br />
it was still locked down. ‘‘I will never<br />
forget the look on his face.’’<br />
Nandawantedtohelp the widows,<br />
but her workloadwas takingits toll and<br />
she fellsick soonafter. ‘‘That was the<br />
turning pointinmylife.Istarted to do<br />
yogaand meditating.’’<br />
Whenshe eventually returned to<br />
workatAra, shebegan organising a<br />
‘‘pamper day for about 80 happy ladies’’<br />
at the campus marae in September.<br />
‘‘Wegot all sorts of people on board,<br />
fromthe health and beauty school at<br />
Ara and we got agrant from the<br />
Christchurch City Council for the food.<br />
‘‘Itwas an incredible day, with a<br />
happy focus and everybody was ableto<br />
connectagain.’’<br />
It was such asuccess thatasecond<br />
pamper day was organised lastmonth.<br />
She is now planning awellbeing dayfor<br />
the men.<br />
‘‘Traumawill staywith you forthe<br />
restofyour lifeifyou don’t address it.’’<br />
Nanda says she has madenew<br />
friends and established ‘‘a totally new<br />
network out of theexperience’’.<br />
One Muslim family evenadopted her<br />
as partoftheirfamily. ‘‘It has been<br />
extremelyrewarding. It puts thingsin<br />
yourown life in perspective.’’<br />
Being amigrant herself, Nanda says<br />
she can relatetothe challenges faced<br />
by the Muslimcommunity in adapting<br />
to anew country.<br />
‘‘I think it is quite abig thing.Iknow<br />
how hard it is to come into acountry<br />
and start again.<br />
‘‘You are coming into acountrythat<br />
you think of as western, but it’s not a<br />
Europeancountry.’’<br />
The Loburn resident says new<br />
migrantsface the challengeof<br />
adjusting to a‘‘new culture and<br />
mindset, to make yourselfathome and<br />
feelthat you belong here’’.<br />
For the Muslimcommunity, there is<br />
the added challengeofpreconceived<br />
views held by some.<br />
International VolunteerDay was<br />
celebrated on <strong>December</strong> 5and this<br />
year’s focuswas on promoting<br />
inclusion, diversityand nondiscrimination.<br />

Hunting and fishing continues to play a<br />
huge roleinJames Morris’s life.<br />
His wifeAnna also enjoysboth pursuits<br />
and the couple had theirfirst date 12 years<br />
ago on ahunting trip.<br />
Jamesalso proposed to Anna on a<br />
hunting trip.Now they have theirown<br />
hunting and fishing storeinRangiora, as<br />
the newowners of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Rivers to Ranges, formerlyHamills<br />
Fishing and Hunting Specialists at 98 High<br />
St. Negotiations to buy Hamills has takena<br />
couple of years, with Jamesand Anna<br />
taking overthe business in midOctober.<br />
‘‘I have beenworking on the family<br />
sheepfarm, Berriedale,which is local to<br />
Amberley,for the past 10 years,’’ James<br />
says.‘‘Unfortunately, unforeseen health<br />
problems in the family changedthe longterm<br />
plans,soweset about lookingfor<br />
another opportunity.’’<br />
That occurred whenJames was in<br />
Hastingsonahunt with friend and Rivers<br />
To Rangesshop owner Jeremy Hanaray.<br />
The two men talkedabout expanding<br />
Jeremy’s trademarked name of Riversto<br />
Ranges to theSouth Island.<br />
When Jamesreturned home, he<br />
discussed the idea with Anna.‘‘Shewas<br />
quiteexcitedaboutthe prospect of<br />
operatingour own business and things<br />
progressed from there,’’James says.<br />
Anna,James and their twoyearoldson<br />
Harrystill liveonthe familyfarm,20<br />
minutes’ drive from theirnew Rangiora<br />
business. ‘‘Harry is the fifth generation<br />
Morris on Berriedale,whichhas been in<br />
the family for over90years,’’ James says.<br />
‘‘He loves coming out hunting withus.’’<br />
Growing up on the farm, Jamesalways<br />
spentalot of timeoutdoors, but hunting<br />
and fishing was always his main focus.<br />
‘‘We had holidays in the Marlborough<br />
Sounds where my brothers and Icaught<br />
our dailydinners freshfrom the ocean,<br />
and Ishot my firstdeerwhen Iwas 12 years<br />
old.’’<br />
James has hunted nationwide, in<br />
Australia and Europe, but says nothing<br />
beatsbeinginthe <strong>Canterbury</strong> high<br />
country, especially above the bushline.<br />
‘‘We are lucky in <strong>Canterbury</strong> withthe<br />
opportunitieswehave to freely hunt and<br />
fish,’’ James says.<br />
He has huntedcommerciallyover the<br />
years and has been registered to supply<br />
animals to the pet foodindustry for more<br />
than 10 years. ‘‘I havesupplied <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Pet foods with rabbitsand hares as well as<br />
spending winters catching possumslocally<br />
for their fur and to help keep the area TB<br />
(tuberculosis) free.’’<br />
For the last12years he has also been<br />
writing abouthis hunting adventures in<br />
Rod and Rifle magazine, and in 2012 he<br />
published abook called Student Hunter,<br />
about his hunting exploits as aUniversity<br />
of <strong>Canterbury</strong> student.<br />
Anna and James intendtodevelop <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> RiverstoRanges into ashop<br />
that offers advice and servicetothe<br />
community. ‘‘We offergunsmithing, sightins<br />
of rifles and havestarted buying<br />
possumfur. We are humbled by the<br />
support we have received fromthe locals,<br />
and are really enjoying the socialaspect of<br />
our new venture, which is very different<br />
from farming.’’<br />

The OxMan Triathlonseries already has a<br />
provisional date of <strong>December</strong> 13 for next year<br />
after huge community support for the inaugural<br />

‘‘Thatisthe plan,’’ said race organiser John<br />
<strong>News</strong>om. ‘‘The feedback has been amazing.<br />
Peopleloved it.’’<br />
The OxMan event was open to allcomers, with<br />
race options to suit all athletes.Itwas based at<br />
Geoff and Rochelle Spark’s farm in Eyrewell,<br />
near Oxford, with their irrigation lake taking<br />
centrestage. The couple competed in the event<br />
The ideabehind the OxMan was to get farmers<br />
involved in training to compete in it, as<br />
individualsorinteams,toprovide abreak from<br />
the pressures of farm life, and also raise funds<br />
for the rural wellbeing initiative, Farmstrong. It<br />
is believed at least $800was raised.<br />
There were 400 entries.<br />

Home crowd proves alure for Tim<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>’s Te Mania Angus Rodeo is<br />
special for cowboy Tim Costello.<br />
It is his local rodeo, and this year he<br />
will have his own bucking horses at the<br />
event for the first time, which makes it<br />
extra special.<br />
The rodeo is at the Mandeville Sports<br />
Centre, on Saturday, January 4, with the<br />
gates opening at 10.30am. The main<br />
events start at 11am with the bronc<br />
bareback riding,<br />
Tim, who hails from Hawarden in<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>, says being able to<br />
compete in front of ahome crowd is also<br />
great.<br />
‘‘There is usually some extra support<br />
cheering you on and makes you want to<br />
try extra hard,’’ he says.<br />
Tim, asaddle bronc rider, spent June<br />
and July in Canada competing in the<br />
Saskatchewanbased rodeo association,<br />
known as the Canadian Cowboys<br />
Association.<br />
He returned for three weeks in<br />
October to compete in the finals,<br />
finishing the season 5th in the standings.<br />
Earlier in the year Tim and fellow<br />
rodeo competitor William Jamison<br />
broke the mould of the traditional<br />
rodeo, organising afastpaced rodeo<br />
with invited riders at the Hawarden<br />
A&P Show. It was so successful it<br />
appears it will become afeature of other<br />
shows in the future.<br />
They were aiming at quality<br />
competitors and bucking stock, and a<br />
short show that kept the crowd<br />
entertained.<br />
They kept it to Roughstock events —<br />
Barrel racer ... Fourteenyearold Kaylee Hood in action.<br />
bareback, saddle bronc and bullriding.<br />
Meanwhile, 14yearold Kaylee Hood<br />
loves the challenge of barrel racing at<br />
rodeos and is looking forward to doing<br />
well on the circuit over the summer.<br />
Kaylee, from Rolleston College, will<br />
compete at the Mandeville event.<br />
She was amember of the New Zealand<br />
High School Rodeo team that competed<br />
in the transTasman competition in New<br />
Zealand in February and Australia in<br />
August.<br />
She says it’s agreat experience<br />
competing in Australia, particularly as<br />
riders have to get to know someone<br />
else’s horse quickly.<br />
‘‘Your mount is drawn out of ahat.<br />
You have to quickly change your riding<br />
style. Some go adifferent side first,<br />
others need to be pushed hard to keep<br />
them going, others you have to hold<br />
back,’’ she says.<br />
But she loves nothing better than<br />
competing on her own horse, Fraser.<br />
‘‘He is my favourite, Ihave had him for<br />
three to four years,’’ says Kaylee, who<br />
has placed consistently on him.<br />
Last year she finished fifth at the<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> rodeo.<br />
Rodeo pursuits are afamily affair,<br />
with mum having taken part in barrel<br />
racing and her dad, team roping —a<br />
sport that takes them to the <strong>North</strong> Island<br />
and to the deep south.<br />
While activities in the ring will<br />
provide much of the entertainment,<br />
there is plenty to keep everyone<br />
entertained and well fed outside.<br />
There will be alolly scramble, a<br />
bouncy castle, helicopter rides, food and<br />
bar facilities.<br />
Gate Prices: Adults $25, Children $10,<br />
Family $60. The Mandeville Sports<br />
Centre will be signposted from the<br />
motorway, north of Christchurch.<br />
In the saddle ... Tim Costello is looking<br />
forward to <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s Te Mania Angus<br />
Rodeo early next year.<br />

Waterfall tracksare finished, and can be<br />
enjoyedbyfamilies of all ages.<br />
The loop track has examples of matai,<br />
black beech, kanuka and broad leaf,with<br />
rest stops along the way.<br />
The waterfall track climbs through<br />
bush to aplainstooceanlookout before<br />
sidlinginto a15metre waterfall.Both<br />

Shelford has managed the fouryear<br />
development of Stage 1and Stage 2ofthe<br />
Ashley Gorge Tracks Project, says visitor<br />
numberstoAshley Gorge are increasing.<br />
The two new walksare proving so<br />
popularthat acounter is about to be<br />
installed by the Department of<br />

on usage.<br />
Akiosk, built by the Oxford Men's Shed,<br />
has avisitorsbook which shows<br />
hundreds of people fromall over the<br />
world are walking the tracks.<br />
The Oxford Men's Shed is building a<br />
bird hide on the Loop Track to allow<br />
people to observe native birds attracted<br />
to abird feederatclose quarters.<br />
Mr Burton says the community, DOC,<br />
and the WaimakaririDistrict Council<br />
have all pulled together to help produce<br />
the walks along with the help of the<br />
Rangiorabased Squadron 88 Air Cadets.<br />
‘‘We'vejust completed the last of about<br />
4000 volunteer hours of working bees by<br />
puttingin140 stepstomake the Waterfall<br />
Track accessible to most ages and<br />
abilities,’’MrBurton says.<br />
‘‘This is typicalofthe winwin results<br />

this where young peoplegain from the<br />
experienceofworking hard to produce<br />
something of real and lastingbenefit to<br />
their community and whichthey will<br />

has seenanoticeable drop in wasps, and<br />
an increase in birdsong.<br />
‘‘We have 60 traps out so far which<br />
have accounted for around 500 possums<br />
and agood number of stoats,rats and<br />
hedgehogs.’’<br />
Mr Burton says the students are also<br />
invaluable helpers in marking out the<br />
route for the nexttrack —the third stage<br />
of the project.<br />

Awonderland for wildlife<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
The <strong>North</strong>brook Wetlands<br />
Reserve is one of Rangiora’s<br />
mostpicturesque parklands.<br />
However, it wasn’t alwaysthis<br />
way.During the mid1800s it<br />
was the site of early European<br />
industry, with flax mills, a<br />
brewery, fellmongery and a<br />
tannery along the <strong>North</strong>brook<br />
Stream.<br />
In the <strong>19</strong>30sasewage system<br />
was established in the area and<br />
remainedthere for more than<br />
40 years.<br />
The Waimakariri District<br />
Councilowned reserveand<br />
stormwater treatmentarea is<br />
close to the Rangiora central<br />
businessdistrict, with access on<br />
Cotter Lane,off <strong>North</strong>brook<br />
Road.<br />
In recent years, restoration<br />
work has transformed the<br />
reserve into apeoplefriendly<br />
area which is home to awide<br />
range of wildlife, including<br />
paradiseshelducks,scaups,<br />
black swans, snails,insects,<br />
eels, kingfishers, bellbirds,<br />
fantailsand manyother birds.<br />
There is an easy 1.5km walk<br />
around the reserve, with places<br />
to sit or picnic alongthe way.<br />
Several informationboards<br />
outline the history of the area<br />
and the visitorrules.<br />
Dogs are not allowed in the<br />
reserve.‘‘As part of recreating a<br />
healthy stream environment, we<br />
hope to attract wetlandbirdlife<br />
back into the area.Soplease no<br />
dogs,’’ one of the noticeboards<br />
states.<br />
Feeding the ducks is also<br />
banned: ‘‘We wanttoencourage<br />
native wildlife to feed and breed<br />
here, not introduced mallard<br />
ducks.’’<br />
The reserve is aspecialplace<br />
to visit over the Christmas/New<br />
Year holidays, or any time,for a<br />
quiet stroll, apicnic,arun, or to<br />
observe the birdlife.<br />
If you are travelling there by<br />
car, don’t stay latebecause the<br />
gates are lockedatnight and<br />
there is a$50 charge to unlock<br />
themtoget your car out.<br />
Visitorstothe reserveare also<br />
toldvia asign that ‘‘60 percent<br />
of Rangiora’s stormwater enters<br />
the reserve via the <strong>North</strong>brook<br />
Stream and adrain. There is so<br />
muchlife heresoplease do not<br />
put toxicchemicals down the<br />
drain because thisiswhere they<br />
end up.’’<br />

Pets at risk<br />
at Christmas<br />
Animal ownersare being urged<br />
to be vigilant over what their<br />
pets eat thisChristmas.<br />
The SPCA saysowners should<br />
not share human foodwith their<br />
pets,and should think twice<br />
aboutleaving foodinplaces that<br />
mightbeeasily accessible to<br />
pets.<br />
‘‘Many common treatsand<br />
snacks we humansenjoy as part<br />
of our holiday celebration –<br />
including avocado, macadamia<br />
nuts,ham, grapes and raisins –<br />
can cause internal damageand,<br />
in serious cases, leadtodeath,’’<br />
SPCA chief executive Andrea<br />
Midgen says.<br />
‘‘It is important to know that<br />
ignoring your pets’pleading<br />
facesand smooches is actually<br />
in theirbest interest.’’<br />
Even pet owners who are<br />
careful aboutwhat theyfeed<br />
theirpet need to be awareabout<br />
the places theirpet mightfind a<br />
feast, such as in handbags, on<br />
tables, or in rubbish bags.<br />
Chocolate is particularly<br />
dangerous for dogsand cats<br />
because it can causeelevated<br />
heartrate, seizures vomiting<br />
and diarrhoea, but other festive<br />
foodsare also toxictopets.<br />
Theseincludefruitcake or<br />
Christmas pudding as the<br />
raisins (andgrapes) are toxicto<br />
the kidneysofcats and dogs.<br />
Alcohol, caffeine, macadamia<br />
nuts,onions, chives, pits and<br />

Competitive edge ... Megan Edwards is going places in Frisbee sports.<br />

Megan ahigh flyer<br />
in world of Frisbees<br />
By LINDSAY KERR<br />
As Megan Edwards neared the end of<br />
her local schooling at Rangiora High<br />
School in 2015, little did she know that<br />
her sporting world was about to<br />
dramatically change with an<br />
introduction by brother Scott into the<br />
world of Ultimate Frisbee.<br />
Her latest achievement will see her<br />
jet off to the world championships in<br />
the Netherlands next year as part of<br />
the New Zealand women’s open team.<br />
Megan's first introduction into her<br />
new sport was met with instant<br />
approval.<br />
Prior to that, her sporting pursuits<br />
had been adiet of the more traditional<br />
kind —tennis, football, netball and<br />
basketball.<br />
Ultimate Frisbee is aphysically<br />
demanding game for the fit and robust.<br />
It has 18 players per team, with<br />
about 25 teams registered nationally,<br />
involving around 500 people.<br />
Apart from the throwing of afrisbee<br />
among friends at picnics and outdoor<br />
social occasions, the thought of<br />
engaging in acompetitive situation<br />
that involved the Frisbee had never<br />
entered Megan's head.<br />
Success in the sport was almost<br />
immediate. She was selected for a<br />
New Zealand under20 side to play in<br />
the 2016 world junior championships<br />
in Poland.<br />
In the same year she won the<br />
Rangiora High senior tennis title and<br />
received an oak award from the school<br />
for her sporting achievements.<br />
The adventure to Poland netted a<br />
sixth place for the New Zealand side,<br />
along with avictory over Australia.<br />
Although then attending Massey<br />
University, Megan played for her<br />
victorious Christchurch club side, the<br />
Chicks, at the 2017 national<br />
championships.<br />
This victory entitled them to attend<br />
the 2018 world club championship in<br />
Cincinnati, atournament where they<br />
emerged with the team spirit award.<br />
Megan, for her part at the 2018 local<br />
mixed nationals, won the Female Most<br />
Valuable Player (MVP) Award.<br />
In 20<strong>19</strong>, she won the women's MVP at<br />
the mixed nationals and attended the<br />
under24 world championships in<br />
Heidelberg, Germany.<br />
The climax came after being<br />
selected for the New Zealand women’s<br />
open team to contest the world<br />
championships.<br />
Being aminor sport on the New<br />
Zealand scene, overseas competition<br />
is costly for competitors, who must<br />
largely front up with their own<br />
funds.<br />
Sustainability move praised<br />
Kaiapoi Preschool has been rewarded<br />
for rethinking how it looks after the<br />
environment.<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon was<br />
on hand to congratulate the preschool<br />
for being the first school or preschool to<br />
complete the first stage in its ‘‘rethink<br />
journey’’, offered by Eco Educate.<br />
‘‘I think it’s afantastic initiative. It’s<br />
really easy to do and it’s tailored to suit<br />
an individual school or early learning<br />
centre,’’ Mr Gordon said.<br />
‘‘It’s important that we all learn about<br />
sustainability. Ifind Ilearn alot from my<br />
nephew and niece, who come home and<br />
see what Uncle Dan isn’t doing and is<br />
now doing.’’<br />
Eco Educate rethink educator Lesley<br />
Ottey said it took eight years to develop<br />
the ‘‘rethink’’ initiative, so it was<br />
pleasing the see the first school/<br />
preschool achieve the first step.<br />
It was developed as an alternative to<br />
the Enviro schools programme, with<br />
schools able to decide how they want to<br />
progress.<br />
‘‘It’s ajourney of sustainability and<br />
rethinking,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘The centre decides how they want to<br />
do it. We didn’t want it to be aboxticking<br />
exercise.’’<br />
The initiative began as apilot project<br />
of 10 schools and preschools in the<br />
Waimakariri district, with another 14<br />
signalling they want to get involved.<br />
Kaiapoi Preschool received a<br />
certificate, seeds and abook to<br />
acknowledge its achievement.
STRAWBERRY FAIR, KAIAPOI<br />
30 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>December</strong> <strong>19</strong>, 20<strong>19</strong><br />
Sweet strawberries get their day in the sun<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Strawberry lovers<br />
packed into the Kaiapoi<br />
Food Forest last<br />
Saturday afternoon to<br />
feast on their favourite<br />
summer fruit at the<br />
inaugural Strawberry<br />
Fair.<br />
It was afamilyfriendly,<br />
strawberrythemed<br />
day, with picnics<br />
and dancing on the lawn<br />
to live music played by<br />
the Garden City Big<br />
Band.<br />
The fair also proved<br />
positive for stallholders<br />
selling strawberrythemed<br />
products, with all<br />
the fresh strawberries<br />
selling out and food<br />
retailers —selling baked<br />
goods such as cakes,<br />
scones and cupcakes —<br />
also emptying their<br />
stalls.<br />
The fair was also the<br />
first Zero Waste event in<br />
the Waimakariri District.<br />
‘‘The theme was<br />
perfect for the Kaiapoi<br />
Food Forest as we are<br />
showing how to grow food<br />
sustainably, so having a<br />
Zero Waste event was a<br />
perfect fit,’’ food forest<br />
trustee Brent Cairns<br />
said.<br />
‘‘We had Lesley Ottey<br />
from EcoEducate guide<br />
us how we could make<br />
the event work well and<br />
the retailers were right<br />
behind the idea.’’<br />

Locallygrownstrawberriesand peas<br />
couldbemissing from theChristmas<br />
dinner menu.<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> growerCam Booker,<br />
who is preparing for the7th annualSefton<br />
Christmas Harvest Marketonhis farm<br />
near Rangiora,said Christmas<br />
strawberries, raspberries andpeas were<br />
in shortsupply.<br />
He says therewill be no homegrown<br />
strawberriesonthe Booker family<br />
Christmas dinner tablethis year.<br />
“It was coldand slow growing in the<br />
spring andnow it's hot anddry all of a<br />
sudden, but we were lucky to havemissed<br />
the hail,” he says.<br />
“We've gotnostrawberriesatthe<br />
moment.<br />
‘‘Thewarmweather broughtthem on<br />
earlyand then the birds have eaten them<br />
all.”<br />
The Bookers grow strawberriesall year<br />
roundand have wonrecognition in past<br />
Farmers'Market Awards.<br />
“Wedon't usuallyhave aheap of<br />
strawberriesatthistimeofthe year<br />
anyway, as we are generally at the low<br />
end of the production curve,but normally<br />
once we havestrawberries, we usually<br />
have themuntilJune or July.” His next<br />
crop of strawberriesisnotdue to ripen<br />
untillate January or early February.<br />
Mr Booker sayspeasripeningearly<br />
appear to be acommon problem for<br />
growers in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
“Onlyamonth ago we were thinking<br />
they weregoingtobelate,sothat'show<br />
quickly it's changed.”<br />
But thereare plenty of freshpotatoes<br />
and the early birds whoarrive at the<br />
harvestmarket between 8am and 9amwill<br />
get to dig theirown Christmasspuds fora<br />
$5 donationentryfee, whichgoes to the<br />
Sefton School PTA. Entry is agold coin<br />
donation after 9am.<br />
“We havequite afew (Sefton School)<br />
parents giving us ahandonthe daywith<br />
traffic coordinationand parking.”<br />
Mr Booker says, despite the challenges,<br />
just about everythingelsefor the<br />

Therewill be anythingfrom turkeys,<br />
ducks, hams,wine,cherries, freshbread,<br />

andI'm hopingthere willbesomepeas”.<br />
Aftersix yearsofrunning themarket on<br />
Christmas Eve, Mr Bookersaid he<br />

Weather achallenge<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Pricesare good, butthe latestseasonhas<br />
had its challenges for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
farmers.<br />
Federated Farmers<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
president Cameron Henderson says strong<br />
prices aregiving farmers plenty of<br />
confidence,but achillyspring and adry<br />
start to summer have set production back<br />
thisseason.<br />
“It's had some challenges.<br />
‘‘After awet and coldOctober which<br />
slowed growth down, we had anormal<br />
November until the wind in the last week<br />
of the month whichknocked afew people<br />
around.<br />
“It'sbeen atough two weeks since then<br />
and it willtake acoupleofweekstocatch<br />
up, but it couldbeworse.”<br />
But Mr Hendersonsays adecentamount<br />
of rain before Christmaswill put farmers<br />
back on track.<br />
Milk productionisdown compared to<br />
the same periodlast year, but there is still<br />
timetocatch up.<br />
And with Fonterra'smidrange farmgate<br />
milk priceforecast of $7.05 and low<br />
interest rates, it is “hardtocomplain, aside<br />
fromafew weather hiccups”.<br />
“Theeconomics of farming are pretty<br />
goodatthe moment,” he says.<br />
New regulations are stillcreating<br />
headachesand theclimatechange debate<br />
has “only really just started”, but at least<br />
Federated Farmersand other<br />
organisations are part of the conversation<br />
withthe government, Mr Hendersonsays.<br />
“We are certainly not going to get the<br />
perfect outcome, but hopefully we will get<br />
morereason and less politics.”<br />
He is optimistic <strong>Canterbury</strong>'s progressin<br />
the freshwater space,comparedtoother<br />
regions, will mean few changes for local<br />
farmerswhennew legislation is<br />
introduced.<br />
“Thefencing off of waterways and alot<br />
of the things thatare in theproposals,we<br />
are already doing and probably doing it<br />

Cameron Henderson ... ‘‘The economics of<br />
farming are pretty good at the moment.’’<br />
better than whatthe nationalstandards<br />
are.<br />
“The best thing the government coulddo<br />
in <strong>Canterbury</strong> is leave us alone to get on<br />
with it.<br />
‘‘Farmers,local councilsand the wider<br />
community have put ahuge amount of<br />
effort in through the zone committees.<br />
“And it's not just councils telling us what<br />
to do, it's communities realising whatthey<br />
need to do and that includes farmers.”<br />
Mr Henderson is also the Waimakariri<br />
Zone Committeevicechairman.<br />
The zone committee is now turning its<br />
attention to local catchment plans, with<br />
localpeople collaborating at alocal<br />
catchment leveland going beyond the<br />
regulations, “andIthinkthere is alot of<br />
valuetobehad out of that”.<br />
“I can certainly see value in setting a<br />
nationalvision and astrategicdirection,<br />
but in terms of setting one strictgoal for<br />
the whole country, they are quickly<br />
learninghow difficultthat can be because<br />
of our diverse river systems.<br />
“Evenin<strong>Canterbury</strong> there is diversity<br />
between the large alpine,braided rivers<br />
and the catchmentsinthe lowland, springfed<br />
rivers, and we have ahuge diversityof<br />
soil types.”<br />

Sheep industry in good heart<br />
Recent ram fair pricesmight not reflect it,<br />
but the sheep industry is in agood space.<br />
Livestock industryrepresentatives<br />
spoken to by the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
say the industry is strong on the back of<br />
healthy lamb and mutton prices.<br />
RuralLivestock <strong>Canterbury</strong>livestock<br />
manager DonaldCooke says, aside from<br />
the woolprice,the industry is “in the best<br />
placeit's beeninalong time”.<br />
This season’s ram sales producedsome<br />
mixedresults, with goodrams sellingfor as<br />
little as $1000and several “beingpassed<br />
on”.<br />
“Whenyou considerfarmersare getting<br />
$150 to $180 for aprime lamb, the rams are<br />
pretty cheap,”MrCooke says. “Theold<br />
rule of thumb was 10 lambstoaram, but<br />
youcan pick up agoodram for $1000.”<br />
Several ramsfetched at least $2500at<br />
salesthroughout the region,while the<br />
Stevensonfamily, of Cheviot, paid arecord<br />
$17,500 “for atruly exceptional” Dorset<br />
Down ram, he says.<br />
Two rams sold for morethan $10,000 at<br />
last month's<strong>Canterbury</strong> A&P Association<br />
<br />
Staff and Management would like to wish you avery Merry Christmas<br />
and Happy New Year.<br />

<br />
ram fair, but onethird of the 200 rams put<br />
up for sale wereleft unsold.<br />
PGG Wrightson upperSouth Island<br />
genetics representative Simon Eddington<br />
attributed it to relatively low ewe numbers<br />
on farms followinglandusechanges over<br />
the last20years.<br />
Onfarm store lambsales are also<br />
producing mixed results, with the farmers<br />
who hostedsales earlyon“being wellrewarded”,<br />
Mr Cooke says.<br />
“The prime stock is sellingvery well, but<br />
we've seen abit of acorrection in the store<br />
lamb sales, with the dry conditions and the<br />
high river levels impactingonprices over<br />
the last couple of weeks.”<br />
Hazlett Rurallivestockgeneral manager<br />
Ed Marfell saysthe primelamb market is<br />
“riding abit of awave fromthe demandfor<br />
protein in Asia”.<br />
“Nothing lasts forever, so we have to<br />
make the most of it while we can andput<br />
abit away. And justenjoythe ride.”<br />
Mr Cookeanticipates the region's ewe<br />
fairs,beginning at Hawarden nextmonth,<br />
will be strong.<br />

eight wickets last weekend to<br />
keepintouch with the<br />
competition leadersinthe CRV<br />
Ambreed Country Premier One<br />
Day competition.<br />
Southbrook’s Sam Ermerins<br />
and Arafat Bhuiyan were<br />
imposing with the new ballonthe<br />
Southbrook Park pitch.They<br />
knocked off Weedons’ quality top<br />
order beforeDarrynBoylerattled<br />
throughthe middleorder.<br />
Limping to 132 all out in 40<br />
overs, it was nevergoing to be<br />
enough and Southbrook coasted<br />
home, largelythanks to an<br />
impressive unbeaten 93 by Matt<br />
Boyle, whose innings included 17<br />
fours and two sixes,and came off<br />
just65balls.<br />

It was the dominant inningsin<br />
LeestonSouthbridge’s<br />
accumulation of 184/9 in the<br />
side’s allotted 45 overs.<br />
Chamberlain, who enjoyed a<br />
500run offseason playingin<br />
Darwin, was again in the game<br />
with the ball, grabbingkey toporderwicketsand<br />
helping reduce<br />
Lincoln to 34/3 in its chase.<br />
Middleorder batsman Liam<br />

Afterhewas dismissed, thetail<br />

in the 15man New Zealand<br />

February, was ruthless in<br />
demolishing the Magpies’ attack.<br />
OxfordRangiora made an<br />
imposing 279/5 in its 45 overs and<br />
wouldprove too many for Cheviot<br />
to chase, despite agood knock<br />
from Ben Hartland.<br />
Jack Waghorn ripped through<br />
Cheviot’s middleorder,snaring<br />
sevenwickets to help complete<br />
the strong victory.<br />
