Off-the-grid ambitions 

Big plans ...

Frustration at the time it takesto 

turn bare landinto serviced 

sectionshas prompted Garry 

Robertsontolaunch aradical 

new approach to resolving New 

Zealand’shousing crisis. 

He is using hispartly 

developed OceanRidge 

subdivisioninKaikoura as atest 

bed to launch a300section 

housing development thatwill be 

completely off the grid. All its 

services will be run fromwithin 

the development instead of by 

the Kaikoura DistrictCouncil. 

The scale of the proposal to 

produce sustainable, good 

quality, fitforpurpose 

mainstreamhousingisbelieved 

to be aNew Zealand first,ifnot a 

worldfirst for an initiative of this 

scale. 

‘‘Allthis can be achievedby 

removingthe needtowait as long 

as fiveto15years for rezoning 

and servicing.’’ 

Garryisbehind the deliveryof 

around 15,000 sections to New 

Zealanders in his lifetime, 

making him one of thecountry’s 

most prolific land aggregators. 

He has the backing of the 

Kaikoura council and the 

support of LincolnUniversity. 

He says councils andother 

authorities take ridiculous 

lengths of time and put 

ridiculously high compliance 

hurdles in front of developers 

trying to deliver sections to 

prospective homeowners. 

All of these outdated systems 

and processes,hesays,are 

fuellingthe current housing 

crisis. 

His extensive experience 

shows that, in Auckland,these 

delays can add as much as 30 

percent (or typicallyaround 

$200,000) to the cost of asection. 

‘‘The current systemisbroken 

and simply doesn’t work anymore 

or we wouldn’t be in the mess we 

currentlyare housingwise.’’ 

‘‘This timecosts tens, if not 

hundreds of millions, in legal, 

holding, finance and planning 

costs across the country each 

year.’’ 

Theend result of his socalled 

TEAL Initiative would be a 

completely changedpricing 

model forhomesdue to more 

timely development. 

He believes further costefficiencieswill 

be achieved by 

using smart technologies suchas 

windpower generation, and 

fresh and wastewater systems. 

Garry’s vision for Kaikoura is 

that OceanRidgewillbecome a 

researchlaboratory and testing 

ground for sustainable urban 

designtechnology, attracting 

researchersand innovatorsfrom 

aroundthe world to the region so 

they can refine their product to 

the pointwhere it can easily be 

incorporated intomainstream 

residential and commercial 

developments. 

He has been refining this 

concept for manyyears and says 

the pennyfinally droppedwhen 

he learned about Bill and 

Melinda Gates’support for the 

omni processor –adevice that 

converts sewageinto clean, 

drinkable water in minutes, 

while producing energy to 

incinerate the remaining waste 

solids.

‘Iwas after achallenge’ 

By RACHEL MACDONALD 

KorbynNewman onceconsidered horses 

to be abit intimidating. But they provided 

awelcome chance to get out of the 

classroom. 

Today,heislearning the ropesasa 

harness racingdriver,havingspentthe 

last four years workingwith horses. 

Growing up in WestEyreton, Korbyn 

went to the localprimaryschool,movedto 

OxfordArea Schoolfor his intermediate 

years,then attended St Bede’sin 

Christchurchfor highschool. 

‘‘I didn’t like school;Idon’t really like 

being indoors,’’ he says. 

‘‘So, when the opportunitycameuptodo 

one day aweek of work experience, I 

signedupwith harnessracing trainer 

Benny Hill. 

‘‘I knewnothing about horses; they were 

just big and abit scary, but they werea 

chancetoget out of the schoolroom. That 

was about four years ago.’’ 

Since then, Benny and his staffhave 

taughtKorbyn everything he needed to 

start as adriver, he says. 

‘‘I justlove it. Iwas afterachallenge, 

and that’s what Igot. Ibeganhelping out 

aroundthe place, and then got moved up 

to working horses,’’hesays. 

‘‘I’d been there afew months beforeIgot 

into asulky, and then that feelingof 

driving kickedin. It’s bloodygood fun!’’ 

He is now in his second season in the 

sulky.These days,hegets two to four 

drivesaweek, and travelsasfar as he 

needs to, to fit in withtrainers who need 

him. 

‘‘I go for whateverIcan getinthe junior

‘‘WhileNew Zealanddoesn’t need this 

level of processing, we know the 

technology existsand we can adapt 

variations of it to suit,’’ he says. 

Garry is talking with Lincoln 

University’s Professor David Simmons, of 

the Faculty of Environment,Society and 

Design, aboutapotentialagreement with 

Lincoln Universityunder which Garry 

will personally fund an initial research 

hub at Ocean Ridge. 

Lincoln University has amore than 

30yearrelationship with Kaikoura 

through tourism benchmarkingand 

certification on sustainability metrics. 

ProfessorSimmons saysitisanexciting

offeredtoprovide student inputand 

scientific inputtomeasure, manage and 

reportonthe development’s pathway to 

sustainability.

I’llput my name up for anyone who needs 

someone in the sulky.’’ 

And the wins are mounting. Last 

Thursday, for example, he described a 

tight race that started out fast. The horse 

has pace, but likestofinish fast. ‘‘Wehung 

District Council’s longterm interest in 

beingleaders in sustainability and to 

bring urban settlement alongside the 

existing tourism platform. 

‘‘It should be worldleading, best 

practice.” 

Garry is entirely selffunding the 

initiative and has the support of the 

financially challenged Kaikoura council, 

whichislooking at innovative approaches 

to revitalisethe town. 

The councilisstreamlining processes 

to help solve the region’s housing crisis, 

triggered by the 2016earthquakeand the 

globalfinancial crisis, among other 

factors. 

Mayor Craig Mackle says the initiative 

is “pretty bloodyawesome”.Hebelieves 

the project will be agood thingfor 

Kaikoura. 

‘‘It’s green, innovative and everything 

you could ask for.” 

He says that Garryisnot asking for 

anything more than supportfrom the 

back until the others were getting tired, 

then it was the right time to go wide and 

take the otherson, and we got the win.’’ 

His wordsfor other youngpeople 

considering such acareer?‘‘It’s hard work, 

but great fun, and it’srewarding. If you put 

in the hours, thoserewardswill come.’’ 

councilatthis stage, and the councilis 

happy to say that it is behind him. 

Garry believes the development is a 

first in New Zealand,whereacouncil is 

leading the waybyagreeing to work 

openly and transparently, sharing 

resources and technology with him to 

explorethe use of sustainable initiatives. 

The ultimate goal is to be the first town 

in the world running entirely off the grid, 

and Garry says that believing in this endgoal,and 

havingthe council’s support, 

puts him well overhalf way to achieving 

it. 

The 130hectare Ocean Ridge 

subdivision is already fully zoned and 

consented.About70traditional lots have 

beensold or are already built on. 

By the time the remaining300 or so lots 

are developed, includingthe commercial 

and retail areas, Ocean Ridge will 

account for around aquarter of 

Kaikoura’srating base in terms of 

revenue.

Withering end to summer 

FarmersinNorthCanterbury have plenty 

of drought experience and can take credit 

for beinginreasonableshapeasdry 

conditionsbite, the chairmanofthe 

HurunuiAdverse Events committee, 

Winton Dalley, says. 

Mr Dalleywas commenting as weeksof 

hot and dry weather, bringing high levels 

of evapotranspiration, affect the region. 

He saysifanything was learnt from the 

20142017 droughts,itwas the need to 

make decisionsearlyonwhat farmers 

could control. 

‘‘It’s good practice to have plans and 

deadlinesinplace to destock, send stock 

out to graze,and buy in supplementswhile 

they are available at an affordableprice,’’ 

he says. 

The committee is monitoringhow 

farmersare coping in the dry conditions, 

and remindsthem of the wealthof 

experience and information available to 

help them throughthe dry spell. 

‘‘Seeking advice and support from your 

rural professionalsisawisemove, 

whetheritisfinancial, stock health, stock 

disposal or advising on supplementary 

feed and green feed crops. 

‘‘They haveawealthofknowledge to 

assist your decisionmaking. 

‘‘Remember, too, looking out foryour 

neighbour is of paramountimportance.’’ 

On top of normal demandfor freezing 

worksspace, in otherparts of the country 

thereare reportsoflongerdelays due to 

the coronavirus slowing exportdemand. 

‘‘So bookinginearly is amust.’’ 

Mr Dalley saysthere was goodspring 

growth and generally agood production 

season, becoming dry as normal from 

December on. 

‘‘While we usually expectthe autumn 

rainstokick in from next month and set us 

up for winter, we will be in an 

uncomfortable position if the rains don’t 

come this year, andfarmers needto 

prepare for that eventuality.’’ 

RuralSupport Trust chairman Andy 

Munrosays the trust has not yet received 

any requests for help. 

‘‘Butwehave been madeawarethat 

morale was slipping in certainareas and 

we are monitoring the situation regularly. 

‘‘We would encourage farmerstocontact 

us if they want afree and confidential chat 

to one of our team,’’ Mr Munro says. 

Cheviot has missed most of the rain 

lately and some springs are drying up. 

Cheviotbased Dan Maxwell, the meat 

and wool chairman for North Canterbury 

Federated Farmers, says farmers are 

beingproactive and making decisions 

regularly, as needed. 

‘‘It’svitalthat farmers are decisiveover 

the next monthifno substantial rain 

arrives.Alwayshave adate set, and if it 

doesn’t rain thenimplementtheir action 

plan. A10K hit to the budget can soonturn 

into a15K hit if conditions continueto 

deteriorate.’’ 

Tony Finch, from DairyNZ,says 

Kaikoura farmers are reporting similar 

impacts from the dry weather, with 

dryland farmers saying conditions are as 

bad as they canremember. Even those 

with the advantagesoflimited irrigation 

are experiencing challenges to keep up 

with livestock demands. 

Farmers havebeen forcedtomake 

systemchangestomanage. However,if 

there is no rain by March they willneed to 

considerdryingoff options. 

Despite that, overall farmingspirits 

remaingood, reflecting the promising milk 

price.

or their families are coping are urged to

Small, well-thought-out garden triumphs 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

The winner of the Supreme 

Garden Award in thisyear’s 

KaiapoiGarden Awards is a 

small, ‘‘wellthoughtout garden’’ 

owned by Sarah Henderson. 

Twenty fourgardens were 

enteredinthis year’s 

competition, and choosing the 

winners proveddifficultfor the 

judges, Joan Whillans, aretired 

florist who hasbeen gardening 

‘‘almost my entire life’’, and 

landscapearchitect John Archer. 

‘‘It was verydifficulttosay one 

gardenwas better than the 

others,’’Joan said. However, 

Sarah’s Meadow Streetgarden 

got the final nod because it was 

‘‘a lovelygardendesigned to 

match the house,which is a 

cottage with averanda’’,Joan 

said. ‘‘It is planted with old roses 

and is avery calmgarden. It is 

not abig section, but it was all 

just beautifully done.’’ 

The awards wereorganised 

this year by community group 

Altogether Kaiapoi, formerly 

known as You Me We Us, and was 

establishedafter the Canterbury 

earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. 

One of the Altogether Kaiapoi 

members, KaiapoiTuahiwi 

CommunityBoard chairwoman 

Chris Greengrass,said the group 

decided to change its name in 

recognition that ‘‘wehave moved 

on from the earthquakes’’. 

Chris said there were some 

beautiful gardens entered. 

‘‘Peopleput such alot of effort 

into them.’’ Although Kaiapoi is 

calledthe River Town, Garden 

Town is a‘‘close second.’’

Many had watched me grow up. Manyno 

doubtwondered howIwouldturn out. I’m 

sure if you had asked them (orme) where 

Iwas headedwhenIwas young,noone 

wouldhave said I’d end up as mayor. 

Beinginthis rolenow is daily proofthat, 

with the forgiveness and support of the 

Kaikouracommunity, anything is possible. 

There’s alot of talk aboutthe council 

beingoverstaffed. While it is truewehave 

more staff than before the earthquake, in 

my opinion it’salso true that, for now,we 

need them. In the threeyears since the 

earthquake, the council has secured about 

$60 million of external funding. 

That includes $37.5mfor our sewerage, 

watersystemsand roads rebuild; around 

$3m for community facilities, includingthe 

memorial hall, pooland scout hall; $11m 

for redevelopment of WakatuQuay; and, 

pending approval through the annualplan 

process, around $12m for anew bridge 

over the Clarence River.

Lack of common sense riles 

Dear Editor, 

As my lifeonthis planet winds down, 

my sense of frustrations builds. 

That frustrationisabout what could 

have been,asI’ve bornewitnesstoa 

country with so much promisefor future 

generations becoming boggeddown in a 

politically motivated bureaucratic 

swampofendless committees and 

talkfests. 

I’m wondering about responsibility and 

the lack of commonsensedecisions. 

Within our remotegeographic border 

we are so lucky. So how come we have 

fallen so far off the perch of OECDworld 

rankings over thepast 40 years? 

Iwas part of arapidly developing 

country for the first 40 years,while the 

last 40 havebeen like beingonasinking 

ship —withoutacaptain. 

Whichbrings me back to water, the 

shortage of whichisvirtually daily news, 

and which seasonally has always been the 

lot of this district since it was settled. 

Just in my shortlifetime, the country’s 

populationhas climbedfromaround1.5 

million and is now approaching5million, 

apply for their own funding, offeredfree 

services to helpwith personal rebuilds or 

wellbeing, processed morethan $100m of 

building consents, dealt with triple the 

volumeofinvoicesand billsasprequake, 

and won national awards for both 

communications and economic recovery. 

Over the sameperiod, satisfaction with 

council services hasincreased. 

That is not to saywe’ll alwaysneed them 

(and some finish later this year), or that 

they always get everything right, but,touse 

afarming phrase, youdon’t kick the 

harvestersout of the paddock whenthe 

hay is on the ground. 

Just as people mayhave had (or still 

have) doubts aboutmeasmayor,people 

may have their doubts about our council. 

Iwas voted in as mayor because my 

community had seen me grow and change 

and becauseIknew the council had ajob 

to do and couldn’tlose its stride. 

Ihave no doubt that as we review 

council financesand services, we’ll find 

ways to save money and reduceour staff 

costs but,for now, I’m proud of the team, 

how they have grown and changed,and of 

the workthey’re doing. 

andfor at least 40 years, no new 

infrastructure has either been planned or 

built regarding domestic/hydro or 

irrigation for the cominggenerations. 

We’ve gone fromanation that 

anticipated, planned and built for growth, 

to one that is reactivetoevents —always 

toolate. 

Ihave been heartened that, since my 

recentmissives to this publication, so 

many, including some fromcouncil, 

appeartosupport my views on 

harnessing Lake Sumner,soastorelease 

thetremendous economicand social 

potential of this ‘‘miniCalifornia’’. 

Some clearheadedthinking from 

MainPower to joininwould be helpful, 

instead of its present penchantfor tilting 

at very expensive, temporary and 

inefficient windmills. 

If there is anyone out there whomight 

know if the very large filesonharnessing 

LakeSumnerbythe late Sir Max Smith 

exist, please let me know. 

Yours, 

JohnMcCaskey, 

Waipara 

Waimakariri council needs 

to examine its core activities 

Dear Editor, 

Iread with considerable disquiet 

the Waimakariri District Council’s 

intention to implement, at the behest 

of the World Health Organisation, a 

new Age Friendly Plan. 

On the surface, the proposal to take 

cognisance of agerelated need into 

district planning is laudable. 

However, when one drills down 

deeper, the downstream 

consequences are disturbing. 

Elsewhere, the council reports that 

it has already approved two years of 

funding for wages to employ asupport 

person for this project. 

One has only to study current 

council staffing to assume that this 

wage will lead to another permanent 

paid position. 

Madeleine Burdon is quoted as 

saying that things are happening 

organically already in the community. 

Ipresume that what is happening 

organically is outside the council 

domain at the moment and that filling 

in the gaps will become part of the 

council employee’s job description. 

I’m sure that Madeleine had the best 

of intentions when she brought her 

suggestion forward, but Ichallenge 

the mayor and councillors to 

undertake indepth scrutiny of 

proposals requiring allocation of 

ratepayers funds. 

Ihave no doubt the appointed 

advisory group will produce very good 

suggestions to inform the council 

planning and, for me, that is as far as 

this should go. 

Our community does not need the 

expense of aCabinet minister’s time, 

nor the WHO, to be effective. 

In the same publication, the council 

is reported as saying that it hopes to 

hold the annual rates increase to 

4percent. 

Idonot have to be amathematician 

to calculate that an annual 4% rate 

rise will lift my rates another 

thousand dollars in eight years. 

Isuggest that the council steps back 

and takes along, hard look at its core 

activities and show good faith to its 

ratepayers by not adding communityled 

activities into the council brief. 

Yours, 

Anne Barnes, 

Rangiora 

Safety works needed 

Dear Editor, 

RegardingDavidJones’s letterinlast 

week’s edition of the North Canterbury 

News,Icouldn’t agree more that State 

Highway 1upgrades are needed now 

more thanever, withdaily vehicle 

movements throughthe Woodendarea 

expectedtoreach20,000 this year. 

This is somethingIhavecalled for and 

it’s why Ihavehighlighted the safety 

improvements on SH1, betweenKaiapoi 

and the Ashley Bridge, as amatter of 

urgency in my community email 

campaign to Transport Minister Phil 

Twyford. Residents who feel thesame 

way can send an email to the Transport 

Minister directly through my website 

campaign by going online to 

buildthebypass.co.nz. 

Yours,

MP for Waimakariri 

Abuse from dog walkers 

Dear Editor, 

Iamconcerned about thesafetyof 

bicycle riders and walkers on the 

Rakahuri Track. 

Recently,asIwas riding alongthe 

track, Ihad to toleratethe abuse of 

people walking theirdogs on the 

mountainbike track. 

Ialways slowdown and let people 

know that Iamthere,asmore often than 

not they also have dogs offlead with 

them and Idon’t want to get knocked off 

my bike by adog runningout in frontof 

me. 

Iunderstand thatparts of the track 

are sharedwith walkers and there are 

also parts designated for 

mountainbikes. 

Thereare dog parksinRangiora, 

as wellasdesignated walking 

tracks whichpeoplecould be using 

instead of the bike trackstowalk their 

dogs. 

It is 50 percent their responsibilityto 

keep themselves safe on abiking track. 

The North CanterburyCycle Clubhas 

put time,effortand money to makethese 

tracks happen for cyclists. 

We don’t bike in their dog parks ... 

Yours, 

Natasha Richardson

Climate change 

challenges ahead 

By ROY MYERS 

Resilient Hurunui, agroup looking at 

positive responses to climatic and 

environmental change and challenges, 

hosted Dr Anita Wreford from Lincoln 

University's’ Agribusiness Research 

Unit last Thursday in Amberley. 

Around 50 peopleturnedout to the 

discussion, the first in amonthly series 

planned by the group. 

Hurunui MayorMarie Black, several 

councillors,Environment 

Canterbury councillor 

GrantEdge, and people 

from both theHurunui 

and Waimakariri districts 

attended. 

Dr Wreford is the lead 

author on the Intergovernmental 

Panel on 

Climate Change (IPCC) 

Special Report and the 

AustralasiaChapter of the 

6th IPCC Assessment 

Report. She is also part of 

ateam conducting the 

New Zealand climaterisk 

assessment. 

She spoke about theprocesses of the 

IPCC,aninternationalbody of scientists 

whichproduces regularreportson 

climate change. It can be commissioned 

by governmentstoproduce reports 

around particular subjects. 

She focused on arecent reportfrom 

the IPCC on climatechange and the 

land.She says landisanessential part 

of the solution to adapting to climate 

change, its systemsand structure 

affecting both food and water supply. 

It was wherewelived and supported 

Dr Anita Wreford 

the ecosystemsonwhich life depended. 

Dr Wrefordsaid the challenge was 

adapting to the impacts of climate 

change, with land under increasing 

human pressure. But the landcould not 

do it all,she said. 

She said New Zealand was uniquein 

havingahigh levelofagricultural 

emissions comparedtothe rest of the 

world —48percent.Ireland was closest 

with 38%, with the average about 10%. 

New Zealandwas therefore being 

watched as an example 

for dealing with 

emissions from 

agriculture. 

She said there was a 

goodbody of research 

now available in New 

Zealand, but therewere 

challenges in planning 

for uncertain future 

paths, withresearchers 

now modellingvarious 

approaches so that 

efforts hadthe best 

outcomes for both the 

environmentand 

farmers. 

Quoting acolleague, Dr Andy 

Reisinger, Dr Wreford saidthere 

neededtobeincentives, tools and rules 

because things don’t happen by 

themselves. Change needs policies. 

Avideo of the talk is on the Resilient 

Hurunui Facebookpage. Resilient 

Hurunui’s next talk willbeonMarch 19 

at the Amberley library.DrNicholas 

Princewill talkabouthis backgroundin

returned to plinth 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Aprecious pounamu artwork stolen 

from its plinth at the Hanmer Springs 

Thermal Pools and Spa grounds has 

finally come home. 

The waterdroplet sculpture was 

stolen early in the year by an offender 

caught on the complex’s security 

cameras. 

The piece, which stands about 50 

centimetres high, was carved in 2017 

by Ngai Tahu master carver Fayne 

Robinson, along with his nephew 

Caleb Robinson. It was hewn from one 

of the largest greenstone boulders 

ever found in the South Island. It 

symbolises the pool’s famous thermal 

waters. 

Following abig effort, the pounamu 

was recovered five days later, on 

January 15, by Canterbury Police at a 

Christchurch property. 

The pounamu was then returned to 

Ngai Tahu’s Christchurch 

headquarters and blessed. 

Mr Robinson polished the pounamu 

and readied it for its return to Hanmer 

Springs. 

On Monday morning the pounamu 

was returned to its plinth. 

He said he was surprised it came 

home. 

‘‘I certainly did think it was gone for 

good. My immediate thought was, 

‘well, they can’t sell it as asculpture, 

but they can cut it up and sell it in 

pieces’. 

‘‘To get it back in five days, it was a 

very quick response and shows the 

system works. 

‘‘Now that it’s home, Ithink it will be 

there for along time.’’ 

Pools general manager Graeme 

Abbot said: ‘‘We were devastated 

when it was stolen. 

‘‘It means agreat deal to us at the 

complex, given its acknowledgement 

of, and ties to, our rich history and the 

fact Ngai Tahu used to stop and bathe 

in the springs as they travelled across 

the South Island.’’ 

Mr Abbot said the outpouring of 

support from the community had been 

overwhelming, following news of the 

theft. 

‘‘I would like to say ahuge thankyou 

to all those who showed us support 

and especially the police in finding 

this precious taonga.’’

Brothers harness up for new venture 


Rangiora’sDawe Contracting 

was aleading purchaser at New 

Zealand Bloodstock 

Standardbred’s recentNew 

Zealand National Standardbred 

Yearling Sale, spending $227,000 

to buy five filliesand acolt. 

Dawe Contracting is owned by 

brothers Ronand Kevin Dawe 

and their father Ray,who is now 

retired. 

The brothers are establishing a 

new trainingestablishment on50 

hectares of land formerly owned 

by saddler Don Clarke at 

Fernside, with Phil Burrows as 

theirprivate trainer. 

The yearlings are already 

beingbrokeninand willform the 

starting point for the stable’s new 

racing team. 

Phil previously trained for Ron 

for manyyears from aproperty in 

McIntosh’s Rd in Fernside, 

before retiring from public 

traininginAprillast year to work 

for Robert andJohn Dunn at 

theirWoodendBeach stable. 

Whilethere, he continued to 

trainacoupleofhorses for Ron. 

Ron’sMcIntosh’s Rd property 

has now been sold and he is 

concentratingondeveloping the 

new trainingestablishment at 

125 MertonRd, which will have 

new stables and a900m training 

track. It is only 1.2kmfrom 

Rangiora Raceway. 

Phil willbegin training at the 

new property when the 

redevelopment is completed at 

the end of April. 

GavinSmith, who has driven 

many winners for Ron andPhil 

over the years, and has recently 

become aDawe Contractingsponsoreddriver,will 

be the 

preferred driverfor the new 

stable’shorses. 

DaweContracting also 

sponsors the mobilebarrierat 

the Rangiora HarnessRacing 

Club’s meetings and arace at the 

Amberley Trotting Club’sannual 

WaitangiDay meeting. 

DaweContracting’s$227,000 

sales outlayand the new training 

property represent abig 

investment,and is avote of 

confidenceinharness racingin 

North Canterbury, but Ron says it 

is more about his loveofharness 

racing. 

‘‘I enjoy going to the races, 

having agoodday out,winning a 

racenow and again, and meeting 

lovely people.It’s agood hobby.’’ 

He has bred,owned and raced 

harness horses for about 10 

years, and has had alot of fun in 

thattime. 

There havebeen many 

winners, including the hugely 

talentedMach’s Gladiator, who 

won 12 races and more than 

$100,000 in stake money,and 

morerecentlyhis halfsister, 

WildExcuse, a4yearold mare 

thatPhil has trainedtofive race 

victoriesand two secondsfrom 

only11starts to date. 

Three of Dawe Contracting’s 

sales fillies were purchased on 

the first day of the sale, at 

Karaka, in South Auckland, on 

February17, with the othertwo 

fillies and the coltpurchased at 

the Sale of Pacers on the second 

day at Christchurch on 

Wednesday last week. 

Ron decided to concentrate on 

buying fillies for the new racing 

team because ‘‘Phil has such a 

good record with fillies’’. 

‘‘He is good with colts, too,and 

we might concentrateonbuying 

them at next year’s sale,’’hesays. 

Of the six yearlings bought by 

Dawe Contracting at thesale, 

four are by champion stallion 

Bettor’s Delight. The three fillies 

from Karaka,EburyStreet, 

Devotion Delight, and Divine 

Delight, are all daughters of 

Bettor’s Delight,whilethe colt, 

from Christchurch, Walls For 

Clues,isason of Bettor’s Delight. 

Of the other two fillies, 

purchased at Christchurch, 

Millwood Indieisby 

Captaintreacherous, whose son, 

Im Cushty, topped the Karaka 

sale, selling for$250,000to 

Australians Emilio and Mary 

Rosati, and the other filly, 

Heavenly Perfection, is by Rock 

NRoll Heaven,whoseprogeny 

was also in demand at the sale.

What’s changing? 

In response to regulatory changes, MainPower is adjustingthe balance between ‘fixed’ and‘variable’ 

lines charges.Your electricity bill is madeupofseveral components,one ofwhichisthe cost of 

deliveringelectricitytoyour property viaMainPower’s network, aprocess knownasdistribution. 

The distribution cost accounts foraround 27%ofyourtotalelectricitybilland is madeupofa 

combinationoffixedand variablecosts. MainPower’sdistribution charges need to betterreflect the 

actual cost of delivering electricitytocustomers. As MainPower’s costs are largelyfixedand not 

relatedtothe quantity of electricity consumed (e.g. our ongoingmaintenance programme, costsof 

transmissionpassed on fromTranspower), MainPower is adjusting the balancebetween the fixed 

and variable components.Effectively,from 1April2020,the fixed portionwillform alarger portion of 

your distributioncharge. 

Whatabout therebate? 

From 1April 2020,the monthlyrebate paid to Qualifying Customerswillbeappliedasapercentage 

discount off thefixedcharge.Therebate will continue to be paidasadiscountonthe power bill 

thatyou receive from yourretailer (though someretailerschoosenot to showthis discount on their 

invoices). Once acustomer is connectedtothe MainPower network,theyare aQualifying Customer. 

Customersconnected to the former Kaiapoi Electricity network will have adiscountappliedtotheir

At 1April 2020,the Qualifying Customer rebate and Kaiapoi Electricity discountwill be

Couple at helm for show 

By DAVID HILL 

Community stalwarts Mike 

and Elspeth Loughnan have 

stepped up to lead this year’s 

Mt Beautiful Cheviot A&P 

Show. 

The couple, who only 

joined the committee after 

last year’s show, are taking on 

the roles of copresidents 

after years of service to the 

wider community in avariety 

of roles. 

‘‘We are very much 

newbies. I’ve avoided it for a 

long time, while doing other 

things in the community,’’ 

Mike says. ‘‘But we have two 

new vicepresidents and 

everyone’s new, but we’ve got 

good support and there’s a 

number of past presidents 

still involved.’’ 

They are also thankful for 

strong backing from the show 

committee in bringing the 

event to life. 

The Loughnans might be 

new to the committee, but 

they are familiar faces in 

Cheviot. 

Mike was arugby coach for 

23 years for the Glenmark 

and Cheviot clubs and the 

combined club, winning the 

Canterbury Country 

combined and North 

Canterbury competitions. He 

is aformer North Canterbury 

rep coach. 

The couple’s sons, Tim and 

Hugh, continue to play for the 

GlenmarkCheviot second 

division team. 

Elspeth has been ateacher 

at Cheviot Area School for 

more than 20 years, teaching 

primary school classes. 

They run a320hectare 

sheep and beef farm at Blythe 

Valley, south of the Hurunui 

River mouth in partnership 

with eldest son Tim and his 

partner, Jaymie, who works 

at Misco Joinery in Kaiapoi. 

Tim is the fifth generation 

on the farm, dating back to 

Elspeth’s greatgrandfather, 

Community stalwarts ... Mike and Elspeth Loughnan are copresidents of the Cheviot A&P Show. 


T.H. Wilkinson, who was one 

of the first ballotholders. 

The farming operation has 

changed in recent years, with 

around 2500 stock units, 

mainly trading sheep and 

cattle. It has been blended 

with tourism, including 

‘‘glamping’’, jetboat trips 

and farm tours. ‘‘It keeps us 

busy and it’s away of 

diversifying,’’ Mike says. 

This season has been a 

tough one with the dry 

conditions, he says. 

‘‘A bit more water would 

certainly help, but we are 

dryland farming. It really 

depends on what happens 

from now on, whether you 

call it adrought. 

‘‘It’s getting to be abit more 

than adry summer.’’ 

Mike was born and bred at 

Scargill, inland between 

Greta Valley and Hawarden. 

The couple’s daughter, 

Virginia, is the consents 

manager at Environment 

Canterbury, while youngest 

son Hugh, arecent graduate 

of Lincoln University, is an 

environmental planner.

of beautiful Cheviot

we’ve got lots of gold, silver and bronze 

sponsors which has enabled us to give

‘‘People are struggling after the 

earthquake and the drought, so it’s about 

getting them back to the show.’’ 

Appropriately, this year’s theme is

Gates opened to promote hemp 

By KATIE TODD 

AChristchurch grower of industrial 

hemp says red tape is stopping 

industries from making the most of what 

many regard as apotential wonder crop. 

Although it lacks the mindaltering 

power of its close cousin marijuana, 

hemp can only be grown and sold subject 

to Ministry of Health restrictions. 

Brad Lake, cofounder of 

Christchurch hemp food company, The 

Brothers Green, helped organise ahemp 

farm open day in Culverden on Sunday 

to showcase the farmers and businesses 

utilising the crop. In doing so, he hoped 

to demystify how it is grown and used. 

About 100 Christchurch residents 

were bused in to see the crop, which is 

about aweek away from being 

harvested. 

It will be taken down the road to one of 

the South Island’s first hemp processing 

plants. 

Soil consultant Rob Flynn told guests 

that hemp farmers were already 

benefiting hugely from the versatility 

and popularity of the crop. 

‘‘To me, hemp is just such auniversal 

plant. It has got so many properties and 

ecologically we’ve got to get away from 

the plastic and that’s what it sort of 

provides,’’ he said. 

Some of the end products it goes into 

were on show, from hemp bars and 

protein powders to shampoos and 

balms. 

Builder Antonie Fitzgerald spoke 

about using ‘‘hempcrete’’ as a 

sustainable, durable, fireresistant 

alternative to concrete, and creative 

director of the clothing brand Original 

Canvas, Eden Sloss, spoke about 

spinning hemp into breathable clothes. 

But Mr Lake said hemp hadn’t quite 

escaped its past as amember of the 

cannabis family, and that made life 

more difficult for growers and retailers. 

Under current rules, farmers need 

annual licences to grow hemp, and must 

follow strict rules about where it can be 

grown, security on the farm, recording 

the progress of the crop, and reporting 

missing or failed crops. 

Mr Lake said it would make more 

sense for the Ministry for Primary 

Industries to recognise hemp as an 

agricultural crop by taking on the 

licensing process and ideally, there 

wouldn’t be any restrictions at all. 

‘‘If we can go to farmers and say we 

can buy your leaf and flower, your fibre, 

your root and your seed, we can offer 

them avery competitive return and have 

ahuge diversity of income for farmers 

without any of the restrictions in place, 

that really do hinder not just the returns 

to farmers but also the output of the 

plant.’’ 

Guests at the event said they were 

optimistic that hemp is slowly beginning 

to shed its hippy stereotype, and prove

its worth in agriculture and other 

industries. 

Student Liam O’Brien said he was 

interested in the opportunities hemp 

could deliver in his field of study — 

sustainability and landscape 

architecture. 

‘‘At 24 years of age, Ibelieve hemp has 

areally big place in New Zealand. 

‘‘Through agriculture, tourism, 

through everything ...it really ticks all 

the boxes,’’ he said. 

Mr Lake said he was thrilled so many 

people took the chance to learn more 

about hemp by boarding the bus to 

Culverden. 

He hoped more people would 

continue to open up to the idea of just 

how versatile the plant is.

PROPERTY 

Best of both worlds -have it all 

32 Canterbury Street, Ashley 

Ashleyvillage is set just afew minutes north of Rangiora, alittle hamlet if you like, often driven pastwithout everventuring in, 

but it’s worth alook. Here the locals are happy tostroll down the streets and have achat, sit outside the pub on ahot night 

and catch up on the local news, and the children can attend adelightful and popular local school, known for its community 

involvement. 

This property was refurbished throughout in the last few years and is larger than it looks. It sports four bedrooms, plus an 

office, one family bathroom, with aseparate toilet. Thekitchen is the hub of the home and overlooksthe living area which has 

alarger than life log burner tucked into the corner.The homeisdouble glazed and hasgood storage in all therooms. 

The outside has been laid out to cater for this family’s needs and has aplay area for children while at the back of the property 

are some good woodsheds andachickencoop. All of this could be developed further to suit yourown needs. 

The garage is best described as asingle but there is adouble carport infront, and many would use the garage area for tools 

and perhaps abit of a‘man shed’. Unusual layout but quite practical. 

The vendors are on the move to an opportunity that has presented itself but will be sad to leave the village; they have enjoyed 

their stayhere.

Amazing Lifestyle awaits in Stunning Location 

157 Church Road, Waipara 

Absolutely delightful, elegant character home in excellent order comes with a 

proven history of income. The property provides an income stream without a 

lot of physical input from the owners, which makes it perfect for buyers who 

seek to kick back and enjoy life and the views in one of the most desirable 

areas in New Zealand. 

The spacious four-bedroom home has many of the character features of a 

home of this era that you would expect, including ahigh stud, wrap around 

verandah, formal lounge, country style kitchen that flows to informal living 

and then outside to sheltered entertaining areas. Twobathrooms and two 

toilets, separate laundry,good storage. Heating and cooling are well catered 

for, with two heat pumps, agas fire, alog burner and aceiling fan. Separate 

extra-large double garage that would allow for aseparate workshop. Aleanto 

provides cover for firewood and storage of bikes and mowers. 

The gardens complement the house with adistinct touch of class. There are 

areas to escape the wind and the heat while still being reasonably close to 

the house. 

There is 6.88 hectares of land, most of which is planted in Pinot Noir and 

Chardonnay. There are three waters sources so that dry spells can be dealt 

with. Afrost fan is strategically placed to deal with an untimely frost. The vines 

themselves are grafted root-stock and are well established. The vineyard has 

been meticulously cared for over the years and is presented in excellent order. 

This gem of aproperty comes with two sources of revenue. Aseparate self 

contained cottage brings in atidy weekly rent, but it has been avery good 

earner as aB&B. That activity could easily be resurrected as there is very 

good demand in this location being near the tourist route and enjoying the 

ambience of avineyard. The vineyard consistently produces high quality 

grapes from renowned terroir and there is high demand for the fruit. 

The present owners are able to generate areturn from the vineyard without a 

great deal of input themselves, by using contractors for the work. 

After more than 20 years of happy times and memories, it is time for the 

present owners to move on from their pride and joy, and they offer it for 

sale in the knowledge and satisfaction that they have created asuperb rural 

masterpiece for anew owner to appreciate and cherish. 

This is your chance to receive the baton and put your stamp on one of the 

best to become available in the highly regarded Waipara Golden Mile.

THE BREXIT MIRACLE 

ANDTHE RISE OF 

EUROPEAN BABYLON 

Britain has at last leftthe European Union. Aconfederacy 

of nations, headed by Russia (king of the north), the 

false prophet (Catholic church) and the beast (Europe) 

will assert itself for world domination. Britain will not be 

partofthis power.AsTarshish, she will involve the young 

lions (old British Empire countries) as the opposing 

power. World conditions are rapidly developing, fulfilling 

Bible prophecy that describes the last days.
