Years on,
love still
triumphs
By RACHEL MACDONALD
It is a60yearlove affair that
has spanned threecountries
and an impressive collection of
Triumph motorcycles.
And it was celebrated in style
last week, when Peter and
JanetCornelius markedtheir
diamond wedding anniversary
in Rangiora.
Theirdaughter, Sue,who
stayed in England when they
emigrated to New Zealand in
1993,describes them as
‘‘amazing people’’.
‘‘Mumwas born in Adelaide.
Her mother was English, but
went to Australia after livingin
India. Dad was born here,in
Plymouth,’’she says.
In fact, Peter still hasvivid
memories of beingtaken to
schoolwith his gasmask over
his shoulderinWorld War 2,
beforehewas evacuated
altogether.Air raids later
demolished his home.
‘‘Dad joinedthe RAF and
ended up in South Australia in
1957, as an electrical engineer
on the teamdeveloping the
British atomic bomb.
‘‘While he was there, he went
out withthe lads, as you do, and
they met agroup of nurses. One
of those was mum,’’ Sue says.
Peter continues: ‘‘When they
asked for volunteers, Ihad no
idea what it was for,but Iknew
my granddad had enjoyed
Australia when he was
seconded there from the Royal
Marines, so it seemed agood
idea at the time.’’

Rhodo business changes hands
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Marina and Craig Shearer
were told RhodoDirect would
neverwork fromtheirproperty
near Waiau. Other growers told
them rhododendrons were out

Twenty years on,the couple
have sold their flourishing
business that has taken on a
life of its own,and 10,000
rhododendrons are being
relocated to WestMelton
wherenew owners Lisa and
Stephen Williams are excited
aboutcontinuing the
RhodoDirectjourney.
Lisa and Stephen are keen
gardeners with abroad
knowledge in horticulture and
agriculture.
Marina saysRhodoDirect
has growntoo big for them,and
because 90 percentofits
business is outside of the
Hurunui district, it needs to
move closer to freight firms in
Christchurch, withbulk freight
carriers refusingtogotothe

‘‘We end up with huge freight

He went back to England, but found
himself returning DownUnder to look

England, the pair were secretly
engaged, but nothingcould be said

‘‘Mumsaved and saved. Her parents

So, whenPetertook early
retirement from IBM, they packed up

make Rangiora their home.
Janetattributes their shared

‘‘It’s about cooperation between

interested in, separately and

Peteragrees wholeheartedly.
‘‘We’d go on these bigbike outings

And the belief the shallowrootedplantsneed

Alittle muscle car magic
By SHELLEY TOPP
Muscle Car Madness roared into
Rangiora last week,with many
participants arrivingonTuesday
for theannualweekendevent.
It was the 30thanniversary of the
popular motor show and organiser
CraigStare,ofRolleston, said it was
the biggestyet.
‘‘Close on 1000 cars came fromall
over New Zealand forthe whole
eventand another 800 cars arrived
on Saturday.’’
The event,which began with only
44 cars on display30years ago,has
grownbeyond his wildest
expectations.
He initially thought the event
wouldlast ayear or two, but it has
been growing eversince, with the
Rangiora Showgroundsvenue
‘‘burstingatthe seams’’ to cope.
‘‘We had 2500people camping
here this year, 750 morethan last
year,’’ he said.
New amenities installed to cope
with the influxwere popular, but
Craigdoesn’t want the eventtogrow
much bigger. ‘‘Wemay have to
impose limitsifitdoes.’’
He says it is difficult to estimate
how muchmoney Muscle Car
Madness bringstothe district
annually, but he believes it could be
as muchas$3 million to $4m.
Craighas made manyfriends
during his 30 years organisingthe
event, whichdrawsvisitors from all
around New Zealand and overseas.
‘‘So manypeopleenjoy the event
because it is so totally different to
anything else in New Zealand.
‘‘It is like one big family.’’
Even overseasvisitors such as
Colorado musicians Mad Dog Mike
and Mark Verschoor, who are
membersofthe Hillbilly Hellcats,
who performed at the event for the
second time, say it is one of their
favourite motorshows. ‘‘It’s where
we havethe most fun.’’

Visit by Chinese students postponed
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The brakes have been put on avisit to
the Hurunui district by 21 Chinese
students following the coronavirus
outbreak.
The students were due to land at
Christchurch Airport this Sunday.
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black says the
visit has been postponed, not cancelled.
‘‘I feel relieved that commonsense is
the winner. The timing is just not
right.’’
The trip follows the forging of asister
relationship in 2016 with the Changping
district in Beijing and the Hurunui
District Council.
Mrs Black said the decision to
postpone the trip was made by the
director of education in China.
She said the itinerary included time
at the Amberley, Waipara, Hurunui
College and Amuri Area schools, avisit
to asheep and beef farm to look at fibre
and food production, to Gore Bay for
fish and chips on the beach, to St James
Conservation Park to star gaze, and
stopovers at adairy farm, and flower
and vegetable gardens.
‘‘It was designed to be alearning
experience, not aholiday, and to give
the students an insight into food
production,’’ Mrs Blacks says.

‘‘I was 18 at thetime,doing my

result in a$6billion fall in our gross
domesticproduct (GDP) by 2050and
significantlyreduce our competitiveness.
Thesechanges have the potential to
reduce theGDP of Marlborough by 3.2
percent by 2050, meaning fewer jobs and
revenue for the community.
The Minister for the Environment does
not seemtounderstand that fencing to
keep stockout of waterwaysiscostlier on
hill country. There are also extra costsfor
establishing otherwatersupplies.
This lack of understandingclearly
stems fromthe Government’s cynical
consultationprocess for its freshwater
proposals, whichlacked proper process
andfailed to engagethe farming sector.
Thegovernment should heed these
warningsprovided by Beef and Lamband
reassess its estimates to ensure theyhave
notgrossly underestimated costs. They
also need to justify that theyare not
asking farmers to do more thanwhat is
neededtomanage risks.
These proposals will put shackles on
theability of farmerstoinnovate and will
heap costsonasector already facing
historically low confidence.
Beef and sheepfarmersshouldn’t be
adversely affectedwith highcosts of
fencing off thousands of kilometres of
landfor little environmental benefit.
We all want better freshwateroutcomes
but we have to back farmersto
farmtheir way to betteroutcomes, as they
havebeen doing. Farmersmust see a
pathtoimprovewhile beingprofitable.
Our rural communitiesand economic
wealth as acountrydepends on it.
Vigilance is essential
February is typically dry, and Iask that
you all take extraprecautions against
fire.
We are witnessing firsthand the
impactofdry conditionsinAustralia. We
must all be vigilant and keep the risk to a
minimum.
Water reliability is critical at present.
Community informationcan be found on
the Hurunui District Council website.
There are regularupdates to keep
residents informed overpossible
restrictions that may applytowater
sources.
How dishearteningitwas to hear that
our preciouspounamu was ripped from
its plinth in the grounds of the Hanmer
Springs Pool and Spa, followed by delight
over the newsthat it had beenretrieved.
Iamgrateful for the excellent police
work, but am also thankful that over the
past few years our local Lionsgroups
have partnered withpolice to install
securitycameras.
This collaboration has certainly
provided aworthy asset that helpskeep
our community safe.
The council is hosting pool parties,
with the datesadvertised on its Facebook
page.They are also awonderful way to
engage with the local council as
representatives from the community
team will be present.

“He waka eke noa –weare all in this
boat together”
Our future rests on going with the flow
Residents of thelower
(southern) Hurunui, what is
yourmajorlongtermconcern?
Apotableguaranteed supply
of domestic water?
The southern hemispherehas
amaritimeclimate, influenced
by airflow fromthe oceans.All
theevaporation is circulating
fromthe west, hitting the
Southern Alps, whereitis
forced to dump water, fallingas
heavyrain or snow,every
season.
Given we have thisbuiltin
water factory, why is it that we
allow it to go to waste while
putting up with water
restrictions in many townships,
includingAmberley?
As Iwrite this,the
thermometerreads 30degrees
Celsius. You will note that
willows and poplars are already
water stressed.
NorthCanterbury’s futureprosperity comesdown to one central issue,suggests
John McCaskey: The savvy managementour waterresources.
Today, thousands of hectares
of pine forest will be joining the
weedwillows, and transpire
millions of litres of water that
once ran down the Waipara
Riverand WekaStream —both
nowaslowasIhaveeverseen
them.
Alot of thefault liesinthe
demise of the catchment and
conservation boards, which
have been confined to the scrap
heap,along withmorethan 100
yearsofrecordsand
institutional knowledge.
Drillingmorewells, and
deeper ones, is afool’serrand,
especiallywhenthey penetrate
belowsealevel, as is takingrunoftheriver
waterwhen only
70km fromAmberley there is
LakeSumner—amountainfed,
unpollutedlake, the damming of
which has been talked about for
three generations as North
Canterbury’s source of liquid
gold.
Idid an exercisebased on one
24 hour spillover into Lake
Sumner. If dammed,the lake
would have risen4metres on
January 17,which,usingthe
existingGlenmarkIrrigation
schemeparameters, wouldhave
beenenough to irrigate 18,900
hectares forawhole year,while
generatingelectricity and
supplyingdomestic water.
TherailwaytoGreymouth was
to be builtpastthe south sideof
LakeSumnerin1880 by useof
pickand shovel and horse and
cart. Sowhy,withthe powerful
machinery of today, aren’t we
bringing water from Lake
Sumner down all thevalleys
through enormous pipes to
towns and farms? It could be
usedbythe viticulturaland
horticultural industries, while
alsogeneratingpower.
Whywould anyone in their
right mind consider wind
power?
Ihave spent timeina
windmillconstruction areain
Scotlandand noted hundredsof
theseinHolland, Denmark, and
Germany, where topography
makes hydro impracticable.
Wind turbines are mechanical
beasts that wear out, catch fire
and play merryhell with the
ecology.
So whyisMainPower,of
whichweare shareholders,
proposing to build 22 wind
turbines across the skyscape of
Mt Cass?
Will they raise the
productivity of our part of North
Canterburysouth of the
Hurunui River? No. Will our
powerbecheaper?No.
So whatisthe answer? My
father is longgone. I’ll be gone
before it happens —but the
futureofthis areaiswater.
Allclimate predictionspoint
to rain in thewest,and
increasingly dry conditionsin
theeast.
Simply put, this meansthat
theSouthern Alpsand its
watershedisour collective
future.
So whyisMainPower tilting at
themills?

SILVERSTREAM HEALTH HUB
The North Canterbury News, January 30, 2020
9
Friendly service ... Pharmacy technician Sophie Light,
left, and pharmacist Elena Rimbovska.
Welcoming ... Silverstream Medical Centre offers a
comprehensive health service for patientsatall stagesoflife.
Wide skill base ... Physiotherapist Teresa Hoult demonstrates
handsontreatment on colleagueBrittany Peacock.
Hub offers diverse health services
Awide range of health and
wellness services in a
convenient onestop location
caters not only for residents of
the Silverstream subdivision
where it is located, but also for
people in Kaiapoi and
surrounding areas, including
Christchurch’s northern
suburbs.
At the heart of this ‘‘health
hub’’ is the Silverstream
Medical Centre, which provides
comprehensive health services
for patients at all stages of life.
The skilled team of four
doctors comprises Dr Amrit
Riat, who has recently joined
the practice from Britain, Dr
Don Ponnamperuma, Dr
George Dehn and Dr Beth
Shore.
Dr Riat brings with her a
wide range of experience and
knowledge, while Dr Shore also
holds adiploma in child health
so particularly enjoys working
with children and families.
With two female doctors,
women’s health is afocus for
the centre.
They offer full women’s
health checks at $80 for the
45minute appointment, as well
as family planning and
contraception.
Dr Dehn and Dr
Ponnamperuma both have a
special interest in
musculoskeletal medicine and
are experienced in treating the
aches and pains that can affect
muscles, bones and joints as we
age, or through injuries
sustained at work or playing
sport.
The Silverstream Medical
Centre, established in
September 2018, is fresh, bright
and welcoming, with a
comfortable waiting area, while
the friendly doctors, nurses and
administration staff ensure
everyone feels at ease.
The centre welcomes new
patients, with doctor visits free
for under14s. Prescriptions
can be requested and
appointments booked through
its website.
Adjacent to the medical
centre is the Silverstream
Kaiapoi Pharmacy, offering a
full range of pharmaceutical
services.
Pharmacists Elena
Rimbovska and Georgia
McLean, who own and operate
the pharmacy, see their role as
one of the “puzzle pieces” in
the integrated health care of
customers.
Working in conjunction with
the customer’s doctor, they
focus on optimising medicines
for maximum benefit, by
advising customers on the best
way and best times to take
them.
For those who take multiple
medications, or who don’t feel
like they are getting the most
from their medication, afree
medicine review with a
pharmacist can be especially
helpful, Elena says.
“Managing medicines can be
quite overwhelming so we
encourage patients or family
members to talk to us if they
have any issues or questions,
and make the most of their local
pharmacy.”
Listening to patients’
concerns is important for the
pharmacists, and as experts in
medicine they are able to
provide afull counselling
service, with aprivate
consultation room available.
They also provide wound
care and dressing, and will
recommend other
professionals if more
specialised treatment is
required.
Both pharmacists say
supplements are now being
incorporated as part of a
healthy lifestyle, with more
people taking them.
“It’s great to see that people
are becoming interested in
natural health to prevent
health conditions, and age
well,” Elena says.
Total Health Physio &
Podiatry, located on the other
side of the medical centre,
specialises in manual, handson
physiotherapy and exercise
rehabilitation for clients of all
ages.
There are three seniorlevel
qualified physiotherapists on
the staff –Teresa Hoult,
Brigette Higinbottom and
Brittany Peacock.
“Having three
physiotherapists means we
have adiverse skill base,”
Teresa says.
Joint mobilisation and soft
tissue massage are applied to
help patients return to full
fitness after surgery or injury,
with exercisebased
rehabilitation an important
part of the process.
Treatment is tailored to suit
the individual patient’s needs
and sessions last for afull halfhour,
allowing the physiotherapist
to spend time with the
patient, which Teresa believes
is very important.
“Close working relationships
with the Silverstream Medical
Centre and the pharmacy, plus
specialists, means we can
ensure client management is
maximised,” she says.
Acupuncture treatment is
also available.
Podiatry services are offered
at the clinic every Monday and
Wednesday by qualified
podiatrist Corrie Hoult.
He provides general foot
care, including minor surgery,
and also makes orthotics, which
are specifically tailored to
individual needs.
Triton Audiology services are
available on Thursdays at the
clinic, with the audiologist and
ear nurse alternating
fortnightly. Free hearing tests
and ear wax removal is
provided by Triton.
Total Health Physio &
Podiatry also runs Pilates
classes, which are proving very
popular, Teresa says.
Pilates enhances core
strength and flexibility,
improving general wellbeing,
as well as being auseful tool for
injury rehabilitation and
prevention.
All three health facilities are
located at 42 Silverstream
Boulevard, with ample parking
allowing easy access to all the
medical services.

HANMER SPRINGS
AMURI ESTATE
The North Canterbury News, January 30, 2020

Tournament centrepiece ... Hanmer Springs Golf Club patron Bev Pool holds the W.C.
Simes Cup, which has arich history.

Golftournament
steeped inhistory
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Agolf trophy played for in Hanmer
Springs since the 1930s will takecentre
stage on March 14, at what is believedto
be New Zealand’s oldest mixed
tournament.
The W.C. Simes Cup was donated for
the bestnett score on the day.
Alongside this, the BascandFamily
Cup (best gross), and Minson Salver will
also feature at the tournament, which
attracts players from Christchurch and
throughoutNorth Canterbury.
The Minson Salver, donated by the
local Minson family, is limited to a
winning team which has at leastone
HanmerSpringsGolf Club member in it.
The tournament is steepedinhistory.
In the 1930s the club hosted about 140
players who played two rounds.After
the formalities and agettogether,
players wouldmove on to the Lodge
Hotel,now The Heritage, to dance to
music provided by an orchestra. It was
followed by supper.
In the 1950s it was still ahuge
tournament, with entries from several
different clubs, with players well known
to eachother.
Many names populate the honours
board,from localstoNew Zealand
representatives, but there were many
who also came for the social side.
Its popularitywas due to it being one
of the few golf tournamentsthat allowed
husbands and wives to play together.
For the locals, there were never
enoughwomen to partner the men, with
Simes Cup partnerships tending to be
jealouslyguarded, at leastbythe
blokes.
Local childrenwould offer
themselves as caddies, often until they
began playinginthe tournament
themselves.
One local lad was lucky enough to be
awarded afive shilling bonus on top of
his five shillingfee and received afree
lunch,whichwas servedbythe nonplaying
womenfrom the Hanmer
Anglican Women’s Guild.
Followingthe seriousside of the

Hamish takes plunge into art world
By SHELLEY TOPP
Two decades away from art,
working labouring jobs to ‘‘pay
the bills’’, has beeninspiring for
Amberley’s Hamish Reid.
The hiatus hasgiven him a
fresh perspective for his artwork
and the selftaught digital artist
openedhis firstsolo exhibition,
Qwerky Werks ,atthe Art on the
QuayGalleryinKaiapoi late last
week.
Hamish watchesalot of
YouTube videos to help in the
learning process. He alsostudied
art at Christchurch’s St Andrew’s
College and then did an art
course at the former
Christchurch Polytechnic.
But with limited opportunities
to earn money from his artwork
at the end of his polytechnic
course, Hamish looked
elsewhere to earnanincome.
‘‘The time awayhas beena
good thing,’’ he says.
However,hedidn’t alwaysfeel
that way. ‘‘Mylife was abit like
themovie GroundhogDay.Get
up,eight hours of slog, come
home, slump into my armchair,
watch the screenfor afew hours,
andthen go to bed. Rinse and
repeat. Very unsatisfying.’’
Eventually,hetooksome time
off for himself and hisfamily and
began drawingagain. He also
established hisown illustrations
business,PKME Innovations,
from his Amberley home.
‘‘Art is avery feastand famine
type of industry. You havetoput
yourselfout there to get a
response,’’ he explains.
In an effort to do that,he
createda2019 calendarcalled
Noah’s Lark for the 2018
Christmas market.
‘‘It is my take on whatmight
have happened on Noah’s Ark.’’
American cartoonist Gary
Larson,creator of The Far Side
cartoonseries,was an inspiration
for Noah’s Lark.
The calendar sold well, despite
limitedmarketing, and gave
Hamish the impetus to become
seriousabouthis artwork again.
His wife, Amanthea, and their
three children havesupported
his decisionand often provide
inspirationfor his art. ‘‘I bounce
ideas off them all of the time.’’
Hamish’s art is amixtureof

imagination. His work, Black and
White,began with something his
children said about panda cows.
The image shows nose to nose
communication between apanda
and ablack and white cow,with a
magpiesitting on the cow’s rump.
The panda and cow are on a
grassyknoll in front of an
aquamarine oceanbackdrop.
The image reflects Hamish’s
love of colour and pays homage to
black and white animals.
Art on the Quaygallery
manager Jackie Watson noted the
numberofred dots, confirming a
sale, on some of the works at the
show’slaunch. It wasan
indication of the quality of work,
she said. ‘‘Have agood lookatthe
work. It really is stunning.’’
The showends on March 4.

Growth planning apriority
By DAVID HILL
Planningfor growth remains apriorityfor
the Waimakariri DistrictCouncil in its
latest annual plan.
Revised projections estimate the district
populationwill grow to around74,500 by
2028,from around 63,000.
Speaking at the opening session of the
2020/21 annualplan deliberationsthis
week,finance and business support
manager Jeff Millwardsaid this
represented around 4950 new houses over
the 10yearperiod to 2028.
Basedonrecentgrowth, staff predict up
to 700 consents for new houses will be
issued over the nextyear. Giventhereare
26,000 rateable properties in the district,
this representsabout 2.7 percent growth.
Council staff are proposing a4%rates
increase averaged across the district,
which is below the 4.5% predicted last year
and 4.3%inthe 2018/28Long Term Plan.
It willcover localgovernment inflation
(2.2%),the earthquake recovery loan (1%)
and the sportsstadium loan (0.5%), while
new projects include meetingnew water
regulations,development, roading and
drainage projects, Mr Millwardsaid.
Rates increases will vary across the
district, with properties on the Oxford
Rural No. 1schemeset for a10.2% rise,
while Rangiora’srates are set to increase
4.2% and Kaiapoi by 3.3%. Garrymere
ratepayers will see asmall decrease.
Chief executive Jim Palmer said the
earthquakeshad made it difficultto
predict what is ‘‘businessasnormal’’.
He saidthe key is to ensure there is
capacity for future growth, butwhere to
placethose extra properties is achallenge.
Infrastructure needs to be provided to
meet that growth and there is alimitto
how far town boundariescan expand.
Mr Millward said totalexpenditure in
the 2020/21annualplan is estimated at
$109.9 million,anincrease of around7%,
with 64% to be covered by the rates
collection of $70.2m.
Roading projects make up the bulk of
the increaseinexpenses, which includes
New Zealand Transport Agency
subsidies.
Mr Palmer told councillorsthe budget
did notinclude the proposed Skewbridge
upgrade, estimated to cost $12 million,or
funding for the Burnside sewerupgrade.
Councillors wouldbeasked to consider
whether to waitfor agencyfundingfor the
bridge upgrade or ‘‘funditall ourselves’’.
Cultural experience ... Kaiapoi’s Waitangi Day commemorations recognise the different
cultures that make up the Waimakariri district.

Call for purpose-built space
By DAVID HILL
WOODEND
BAKERY
Pegasus residents are calling for a
purposebuilt community centre to meet
the needs of agrowing community.
While they appreciate the
Waimakariri District Council’s efforts in
securing rooms in the town’s shopping
centre in Tahuna Street, Pegasus
Residents Group members say the
facilities have limitations.
Vicepresident Rhonda Mather and
community connector Ronel Stephens
say the main room at the community
centre can seat up to 50 people, but the
group’s annual meetings attract more
than 100, meaning they need to be held
outside of Pegasus.
They would like afacility that caters to
all ages, including young people wanting
to play indoor ball sports.
The fastgrowing town is expected to
house up to 6000 people when complete.
‘‘We are very grateful for the council’s
help because this is good for our town,’’
Ronel says.
‘‘Historically, towns had churches, but
we don’t have that in Pegasus. So this is
almost like the modern church. This is
where the community comes together.’’
The council’s priority is to build a
community facility, including alibrary,
at the new subdivision of Ravenswood,
as it is more central to the Woodend,
Pegasus and Waikuku communities.
‘‘We support the council building a
facility in Ravenswood. It makes sense
to have alibrary there, but we will need
afacility here too,’’ Rhonda says.
‘‘This is aleased facility, so it’s not
ideal for the council either. They
generally own their community
facilities.’’
The main room was officially opened
as acommunity centre in August 2017
and was added to last year when the
council secured alease on office space
next door, making ameeting room,
consulting room, kitchen and reception
area available to the community.
‘‘We would like to see the office space
rented out as ahot desk space and it

could be ideal for consulting,’’ Ronel
says.
She says the residents group has
actively helped groups to become
established in the town and now those
groups are giving back, such as the
Pegasus Social Group, the Men’s Shed
and Woodend Women’s Institute, which
now meets in Pegasus.
The community centre is well used
during the week, including coffee and
chat sessions on Friday mornings, the
popular ‘‘Ronel’s community cuppa’’
held monthly on aWednesday, Saygo
fitness classes for the elderly, and ballet
lessons for youngsters.
Various local groups hold their
meetings at the centre and Ronel is
confident the facility will become an
attraction for outoftown groups —
‘‘once the word gets out’’.
The resident’s group also produces
welcome booklets providing adirectory
of businesses and services for the
Pegasus, Woodend and Waikuku areas,
which has been picked up by the
Ravenswood developers.
While the residents’ group runs the
facility, bookings are now made through
the council.

Ewe prices ease, as dry summer unfolds
By DAVID HILL
Astrong yardingattracted
buyers from nearand far to the
Hawarden Ewe Fair last Friday.
Morethan 18,000 mixedage
ewes and 30 rams went under
the hammer on ahot and dry
day, in front of astrong gallery
of buyers and spectators. Among
themwas Hurunui Mayor Marie
Black.
Buyers travelled from as far
afield as Marlborough, South
Canterbury and Central Otago.
‘‘I think thisisatypical event
where there is astrongyarding
and it shows thatthe sheep
industry is still acritical part of
our Hurunuidistrict,’’ Mrs
Black said.
The mayorsaid she came to
the fairasachild and regularly
attended with her husband.
‘‘Weare just having alook,so
not too serious.
‘‘With my husbandand I
farming, we always come for a
look because it’sagood social
day as much as anything.’’
Rural Livestock Canterbury
livestockmanager Donald
Cookesaid there was afull
clearance of sheep, withthe top
pens selling for more than $250,
comparable withprices at last
year's Hawarden Ewe Fair.
“In hindsight, it'snot abad
sale.PreChristmas,Iwould
have expected those ewestobe
worthanother $30 to $40.
“BackinDecember therewas
plenty of feed about and the
mutton price was strong.”
But therewere far more ewes
up for sale thanexpectedand
the dry summer conditions may
have created some uncertainty
in farmers' minds,MrCooke
said.
“I wouldsay the buyers will
feel they got realvaluefor
money. Some of those farmers
will haveculled older ewes for
in excess of $200preChristmas
and now they'rebuying younger
ewes sometimes for $50
cheaper.
“I would say some of the
vendors' reactionswould be
mixed.They might have come in
with higherexpectations and as
agentsIthinkwewere
predictinghigher.”
FormerMayor Winton Dalley
was backtohis regularduties,
helpinginthe kitchenatthe
Hawarden War Memorial Hall.
He said the volunteers
provided alate breakfast for
around 50 hungry stockagents,
auctioneers and transport
operators, and were expecting
around 200 people for lunch.

Church first catered at the fair

whilethe Hawarden fair regularly
attractedaround 20,000ewes for aoneday
sale.
‘‘It was all abit different.Inthe early
days they used to have the bar which they
had alicence for,’’ he says.
‘‘Thelicense expired halfanhour after
the lastsale, but the hard cases would
advertise to auction adog to keepthe bar
running until 10pm.
‘‘Theother big change is thebulkofthe
sheepwere driven here by the farmers.’’
The Hawarden EweFair used to feature
predominantly Corriedale ewes,with
keen competition between localfamilies
such as the Forresters, McFaddens,
Wrights, Carrs, Matthews and Blakeleys.
Mr Berry says buyers would comefrom
‘‘near and far to buy quality sheep’’.
‘‘Many of the sheep wenttoMid
Canterbury, where theywere putto
Border Leicesterrams, and muchofthat
land probably has black and whites (dairy
cows)running around on it now.’’

workshops and have your say!

Mr Sidey’s family are wellknown

StrathblaneStud, which is now run by his
son Jim.
Being astud breeder, Mr Sidey says he
rarely sold ewes at the fair, coming mainly
for the social sideand to keep an eye on
whatwas happening in the local sheep
industry.
‘‘But therewould have been alot of
Sidey blood in the sheep at the sales,’’ Mr
Berry adds.
Mr Berry first moved into the area as a
school teacheratHawardenin1978,
before going farming on his own account
10 years later.

Clear message ... Asign likely to become more widespread if the indigenous biodiversity
policy comes in.

Indigenous biodiversity
policy likely to bite
By JAMIE MCFADDEN, chairman of
the Rural Advocacy Network
Just before Christmas,the Government
releasedfor consultationanew policy that
will have major cost implications for
councils, ratepayers and landowners.
The proposed National Policy Statement
for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB)
introduces new requirements to be
implemented by councils.
For many landowners,particularly hill
and high country farmers,this new policy
will have afar greaterimpactthan the
recent freshwater legislation.
Consistent withthe Government’s
approach to freshwater and climate
change, the moreyou have done to be good
environmental stewards, the more you will
be penalised underthis new law.
One of the more controversial partsof
the NPSIB is therequirementfor all
councils to undertake districtwide
ecological significance surveys. Anyone
who owns land can expect to be surveyed.
Currently, thisisvoluntary for councils
and many have notgone down this path
because of the hugecost, the conflict it
creates within their communities and the
lack of benefittobiodiversity outcomes.
New national significance criteriaunder
the NPSIB are much broader, meaning
most indigenous vegetation willbe
captured as Significant Natural Areas
(SNAs). Areas of exotic vegetation such as
pine,willows, gorseand pasture are likely
to be deemedSNA if it is habitat to an
important nativespecies.
Underthe NPSIB,most landowners will
have SNAs on their land and manyface
having most of their land designated SNA.
Stricterrules will apply to areasmapped
as SNAs,taonga or highly mobile species
habitat.Propertyvalues willbeaffected
for those withahigh proportionoftheir
land mappedSNA, without compensation.
For largedistricts by area, such as
Hurunui, Waimakariri and Kaikoura, the
obligations will be particularly onerous.
During the recent 2016Hurunui District
Plan review,extensive unchallenged
evidence showed the mapping and
regulating of SNAs on private landwas
counterproductive, hadturnedbiodiversity
into aliability and did not assist
or achieve protection. Evidence showed
that many SNAswould continue to
deteriorate or be lost if active management
was not carriedout.
As aresult,the hearingcommissioners
removed all SNA mapping from the
District Plan and, with no appeals, the new
plan (with no SNAs) became law.
Underthe proposed NPSIB, all councils
are required to survey their whole district
for not only SNAs but alsotaonga(Maori
treasures) and highly mobile species.
If landowners refuse access, councils
are required to desktop map and if need
be force access using the Resource
Management Act (RMA)powers of entry.
Because of the lack of confidentiality
and the misuse of private property
information, many landowners have
refused access for surveys. If the NPSIBas
written is forced on to councils, it will
bring major disruptiontocommunities.
The RMA and NPSIBfail to recognise:
That landownerattitudes towards the
natural environment have changed;
That the nativeforest clearance
incentivised under previous government
policies no longer occurs;
Thereasonanimpressive 2.8 million
hectaresofnative vegetation remains on
sheep and beef farmsisbecause of
sympatheticlandowners;
That maintaining thatindigenous
vegetation has, and continues to be, a
considerable costtolandowners; and
Forany biodiversitypoliciestobe
effective, landownersupportiscritical.
Biodiversity protection on private land
reliesonthe goodwill of landownersand
must be seenasanasset, not aliability.
Landownersmustfeel confident that their
positive environmental effortswill not
resultinmore bureaucraticinterference.
It must be removed from the regulatory
punitive framework of the NPSIB and
RMA.
Our solution is to point to the success of
the QEIITrustcovenantingsystem and the
formerCatchment Boardapproach.A
partnership basedontrust andgoodwill;
tailormade plans and rulesagreed to by
both parties;afocus on actions needed
ratherthan bureaucratic surveys;funding
towards and assistancewith management
of areas; confidentiality of private
property information and certainty for
both parties.The RMA andproposed
NPSIB provide none of these.
Over the nextyear, the Rural Advocacy
Network will be callingfor major changes
to our fragmented and ineffective
environmental laws.Wewant anational
advisory systemwith avision of developing
and nurturing the environmental ethosof
stewardship or kaitiakitangaacross all
landowners, ruraland urban, under one
holistic integrated planning framework.
Meantime, we are launching a
nationwidecampaign to telllandowners
about the NPSIB. We are calling for much
stronger supportfrom our industrygroups
in challenging the draconian,top down
approach this government continues to
take withenvironmentalpolicies.
Submissions close on March 14 and we
encourage landowners and those with an
interest in biodiversitytosubmit.
There are no publicmeetingsonthe
NPSIBand we have askedMinistry for the
Environmenttoreconsiderthisstance.
We have prepared acomprehensive
analysis of the implications of the NPSIB
and this can be obtained by emailing

‘Anyone is welcome’
By DAVID HILL
New Rangiora vicar RevToby Behan
wants hisparish to be ‘‘welcoming and
inclusive’’.
While issuessuch as samesex marriage
havebeen divisive within the church,Toby
wants everyone to be welcome.
‘‘Anyone is welcome into thischurch. I
don’t think anyone is worsein
God’s eyes.Weall fallshort
andGod sees us all the same.
‘‘Churches can be quite cold
andAnglicans can be more
about formalism and the way
things aredone,but I’vebeen
pleasantly surprised by the
loveofGod in this parish.’’
It is 45yearold Toby’s first
appointment as avicar,after
coming to ministry in midlife
after acareerasaballet
dancer in his 20s,before
working for Telecom in acall
centre and then IT.
He is following in the footsteps of his
father, Rev WallyBehan, aretired
Anglican minister who served 19 years at
theLatimer Square parish. Hisbrother Jay
is alsoanAnglican minister in
Christchurch.
It was while attending worshipat
Latimer Square that Toby says he finally
answered the calltoministry.
‘‘I’ve been aChristian since
intermediate school. Over time Istarted
thinking about how Iwas contributingand
Ifelt acalling. There wasthe calling, butI
Rev Toby Behan
kindoffelt Iwasn’tgood enough and I
needed to getrid of that.’’
After training, he servedtwo years as a
curate at the Merivale/St AlbansAnglican
Parish in Christchurch before being
appointed to Rangiora in December.
Tobyhas moved to Rangiora with his
wifePrue, 17yearold daughterTwyla,
who is taking agap year after finishing
school, and 15yearold Toby,
who is in year11atMiddleton
Grange Schoolin
Christchurch.
‘‘The parish has been
incredibly welcoming. Prue
and Ihave felt really
privileged to be here. There
weregifts in the house when
we arrived and people had
comeand tidiedupthe
garden.’’
His new parishincludes
congregations at Loburn and
Fernside,aswell as Rangiora.
He seeshis role as being to
walkalongside people in their faith
journey.
‘‘I’m not here to dispense God’sgrace.
I’m not aspiritual vending machine. Ijust
wanttohelp the parish grow, as in growing
people individually in their relationship
withGod.’’
Tobysayshelooksforward to getting to
knowhis new community and enjoys being
just 15 minutes fromthe beach and the
mountains. He is alsoakeen golfer and
hopes to become more familiar with the
local courses.

Israel has just hosted an international meeting to
remember it is 75 years since the end of the Second
World war.The hope was that peace could be around the
corner.But what are the nations preparing for? Peace or
another thrust for domination? The Bible says that many
nations shall come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat to
challenge anew ruler in Jerusalem. Whose side will we
be on at that time. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
