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 

of fashion. 

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 

Waiauproperty. 

‘‘We end up with huge freight

Waiau,’’ Marina says. ‘‘So our

He went back to England, but found 

himself returning DownUnder to look 

up Janet. When he gotback to 

England, the pair were secretly 

engaged, but nothingcould be said 

untilhehad written to her father to 

ask for permissiontomarry. 

‘‘Mumsaved and saved. Her parents 

said she could go to England by boat, 

as longasshe had the return fare in 

the bankathome, in case things didn’t 

work out,’’ Sue says. ‘‘The rest is 

history.’’ 

The couplelived in acaravan

with theirdog. Then, Peter leftthe air 

forceand joined IBM, training staff in 

fixing the big mainframecomputers.

‘‘It’s about cooperation between

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 


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.

Pool plan

ArefurbishedAmberley pool 

couldbeopen by November. 

Consultation on putting a 

steellinerinthe existing 

pool,and roofing and 

cladding it, is striking achord 

with residents keentosee an 

affordable, uptodate 

complex. 

The concept plan follows 

several yearsofdebate 

around replacing the ageing 

pool in DouglasRoad. 

Aproposal for acompletely 

new indoor, heated,poolhas 

fallen by the wayside,along 

with a2018 proposal for an 

outdoor heated pool. 

At arecent meetingin 

Amberley,nooneopposed 

upgrading the existing pool. 

Whilethere is someconcern 

it is going to be 25 yardslong 

and not 25 metres,and at this 

pointitwon’t be heated, all 

seemed happy to support 

giving the old pool afacelift. 

Abudget of $1.5 millionhas 

been set asidebythe council 

for refurbishment to get 

underway as soon as a 

decision is made.

Hornblow says alot of hard 

workshas gone into finding a 

solution. 

‘‘TheConcept Plan is an 

awesome opportunitytoget

VIEWS 


Around the electorate with 

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA 

Worries heightened 

If the freshwaterproposals weren’t 

already akick in the guts to rural New 

Zealand, areportbyBeef and LambNew 

Zealand on potential costs for beef and 

sheepfarmerstomeet proposed freshwaterstandards 

has worsened concerns. 

Estimates by the Ministry for the 

Environmentconcluded it would cost 

farmers around $150,000 per farmover 10 

yearstomeet these standards. 

Alarmingly, ruralconsultancyfirm 

BakerAg has given afigure of $2.4 million 

to $3.4m per farm. 

This is on top of Dairy NZ’s study 

revealingthat these proposalscould 

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. 

Your opinion and comment is always 

welcome.Ifyou wish to make an 

appointment to see me, contact 

jo.retallick@hurunui.govt.nz. 

Hurunui TourismorEventful Hurunui 

websitesare agreat way to keep abreast 

of local activitiesonoffer, such as 

Amberley’s Markham Street Summer 

Festival, the Hurunui Race and Galaday, 

as well as the weekly Amberley Farmers 

Market, with arange of exceptional local 

produce on offer. 

This last week has seen the end of an 

era. Trish and Tim Coleman have been 

ambassadorsfor hospitality and retail 

business within our community,both 

making asignificant contribution over 

many years. 

Isalute you both and thank you for your 

commitmenttomaking our district a 

greatplace to live, work and play. 

“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

SILVERSTREAM HEALTH HUB 


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

Tournament centrepiece ... Hanmer Springs Golf Club patron Bev Pool holds the W.C. 

Simes Cup, which has arich history. 


Golftournament 

steeped inhistory 


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 

competition, kegs would be set up and 

loud voices could be heard with 

laughter overwhat happened on the 

course, as yarns were told and retold. 

There was agreat camaraderie among 

competitors. 

It had something to do with the fact 

the war was not longover and everybody 

could relax again. 

In 1953, the W.C. Simes Cup was won 

by two localmen, D. Stavert and H. 

Anderson, due to the lack of available 

women players. 

In 2013 the tournament changed to 27 

holes, followedbyamealand asocial 

evening. 

The popularity of the contest has 

continued over the years, with 2020 

shapinguptobenodifferent.

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 

real life and figmentsofhis

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.

The Chums received a

‘‘I don’t knowhow it (the

But Idon’t see that it would 

stop people coming into 

the town.’’ 

Mr Chumsays the bakery

‘‘People comefrom

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

Fair dinkum tales 

of earlier sales 

By DAVID HILL 

Among the buyersatlast Friday’s 

Hawarden Ewe Fairwere old farmers 

feeling nostalgic aboutfairsofthe past. 

John Sidey, of Waikari,has been coming 

to the local ewe fair since he was aboy in 

1953, while Waipara farmerKeith Berry’s 

association with the Hawarden event 

dates back 40 years. 

Mr Sidey saysthere wereewe fairs at

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.’’

Mr Sidey’s family are wellknown 

Corriedalesheepbreeders,with 

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.

THE NATIONS PREPARING FOR 

ARMAGEDDON -ARE YOU? 

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.
