quietesttime forinternational<br />
travellers.<br />
Mr Abbot says work is being done<br />
at thepools complex on the impact<br />
of restrictions aroundgatherings of<br />
more than 500 people.<br />
He says thereare few times when<br />
thereare morethan 500 people at<br />
the complex at one time.<br />
‘‘Butweare working on aplan to<br />
manage that.’’<br />
Thereisalso ahuge focus on<br />
hygiene, with cleaning<br />
regimes stepped up.<br />
‘‘We are working<br />
through that to make<br />
sure all hygiene is<br />
higherthan it normally<br />
is, so we can providea<br />

environment,’’ he says.<br />
Mr Abbotsays it has<br />
been confirmed that<br />

Crunch looms over virus controls<br />
From Page 1<br />
‘‘Everything has been going<br />
good. Better than what we<br />
thought. But Ithink it will<br />
change, we’re just not sure<br />
how yet. It’s certainly not<br />
business as usual.’’<br />
Arecord 13 cruiseship<br />
visits were scheduled this<br />
season and, while one visit<br />
was cancelled early in the<br />
season due to the weather,<br />
just one remaining visit has<br />
had to be cancelled because<br />
of the new cruise ship ban.<br />
‘‘We have had<br />
cancellations in terms of<br />
accommodation, but most of<br />
the operators have been able<br />
to fill cancellations, so far,’’<br />
Mr Ormsby says.<br />
‘‘We just have to wait and<br />
see what’s in front of us.’’<br />
He says the experiences<br />
following the global financial<br />
crisis in 2008 and the 2016<br />
earthquake found that while<br />
overseas tourist numbers fell,<br />
domestic visitors increased<br />
significantly.<br />
‘‘There’s alot of New<br />
Zealanders who haven’t seen<br />
their own country, so they<br />
don’t know how beautiful it<br />
is.’’<br />
Meanwhile, community<br />
leaders are grappling with<br />
how to support those affected<br />
by the tourism downturn and<br />
farmers already suffering<br />
from the drought.<br />
Mother nature also had a<br />
say early on Monday, with a<br />
5.1magnitude quake near<br />
Culverden.<br />
Hurunui Mayor Marie<br />
Black said gatherings were<br />
held to help lift people’s<br />
spirits during the last<br />
drought and during recovery<br />
Postponed ... The popular Rangiora Festival of Colour is among agrowing list of events affected by<br />
restrictionsongatheringsimposed to limit the risk of spreading the Covid<strong>19</strong>virus. Pictured at last year’s<br />

from the November 2016<br />
quake. Guest speakers were<br />
brought in and field days and<br />
farmer meetings were held.<br />
This, she says, is adifferent<br />
beast, because it precludes<br />
giving people the opportunity<br />
to join in events of 500 or<br />
more.<br />
‘‘It is really sad that the<br />
Hawarden Show has had to<br />
be cancelled.<br />
‘‘It is the fellowship at the<br />
show that is just as important<br />
as the competitive side.<br />
People enjoy chatting, having<br />
alaugh, and having aday of<br />
relaxation,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘But we have to do some<br />
different thinking, and the<br />
council will be talking about<br />
how it can support people<br />
through this latest adverse<br />
event.<br />
‘‘We must all follow the<br />
Ministry of Health<br />
guidelines. We are all living<br />
in the moment,’’ she says.<br />
Mrs Black says the<br />
difficulty for people is not<br />
knowing how long there will<br />
be border controls and rules<br />
around mass gatherings.<br />
‘‘Nothing is defined at this<br />
stage.’’<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan<br />
Gordon says residents are<br />
understandably concerned<br />
about the virus.<br />
‘‘We urge everyone to<br />
remain calm, look after<br />
yourself and your families,<br />
and to take any necessary<br />
precautions when required.<br />
‘‘We can all help to ‘keep it<br />
out’, and ‘stamp it out’ and<br />
‘slow it down’.<br />
‘‘The council is staying uptodate<br />
on the situation and,<br />
like all of us, is listening to,<br />
and ready to react to,<br />
announcements coming from<br />
the Ministry of Health,” he<br />
says.<br />

Concerns over elder abuse<br />
By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />
Elder abuseisalive and well in<br />
the Hurunui and Waimakariri,<br />
says Simon Templeton, chief<br />
executive of Age Concern<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
In fact,hesays it is unlikely<br />
there is any extended familyin<br />
the region,regardless of<br />
ethnicity or socioeconomic<br />
status,where it is not present.<br />
‘‘Whether it’sphysical,<br />
financial, or psychological<br />
abuse, this kindoffamily<br />
violence affects around10<br />
percentofolder people every<br />
year,’’hesays.<br />
‘‘Waimakariri alone has<br />
more than 11,500 residents<br />
aged older than 65, so that’s<br />
more than 1000 people<br />
annually likelytobesuffering<br />
some form of abuse.’’<br />
He saysthe main driverisa<br />
lack of respect for the elderly<br />
in today’s mainstreamculture.<br />
Adding insult to injury, 75<br />
percentofperpetratorsare<br />
usuallyfamily members.<br />
‘‘It’s this family connection<br />
that makes elderabuse such a<br />
complexproblem. Of course,<br />
the olderperson wants the<br />
abuse to stop, but they<br />
generally also wanttokeep<br />
relationships intact.<br />
‘‘It can be very difficult to<br />
find an outcome that delivers<br />
on both fronts.’’<br />
The mostcommon form of<br />
abuse his team is called upon<br />
Elderabuse ... ‘‘This kindoffamily violence affects around 10 percent of olderpeople every year.’’<br />
to deal with is psychological.<br />
‘‘We see it all the time, as do<br />
doctors and lawyers. So often, a<br />
relativewill talkfor an older<br />
person or try to make decisions<br />
for them, or evenrefuseto<br />
leavethe room during a<br />
consultation.<br />
‘‘We’re not talking about<br />
olderpeoplesuffering from<br />
dementia here. Their rights<br />
are securedwithinalegal<br />
frameworkput in place when<br />
they were of sound mind.<br />
‘‘We’retalking aboutfamily<br />
or acquaintances tryingtotake<br />
control fromsomeone<br />
perfectly able to speak and act<br />
for themselves.’’<br />
He says those manipulating<br />
the elderly like this seem to<br />
basetheiractions on some<br />
kindofarbitrary bestbefore<br />
date.<br />
‘‘It’s asign of how ageist we<br />
are,whichisgoing to become<br />
evenmore of aproblem in our<br />
rapidly ageingcommunity.You<br />

wouldn’ttreat a50yearold<br />
like this; why is it okay to do it<br />
to afit, healthy 80yearold?’’<br />
he says.<br />
‘‘There’s going to have to be a<br />
changeinattitudeasthe<br />
demographic changes. Unlike<br />
the generation before them,<br />
the babyboomers won’t stand<br />
for it. They’ll make areal noise,<br />
which will ramp up ourwork<br />
and we’re only managingto<br />
touch the tip of the iceberg as<br />
it is.’’<br />

Roading issues aired in capital<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Waimakariri’stransport<br />
concerns have been aired in<br />
Wellington.<br />
Mayor Dan Gordonled a<br />
local delegation to meet<br />
with Transport Minister<br />
Phil Twyford last week at<br />
the Beehive to discuss<br />
transport projects such as<br />
the proposed Woodend<br />
Bypass, road safety<br />
concerns in Woodendand<br />
the Skew Bridge upgrade.<br />
Mr Gordon was joined by<br />
chief executive Jim Palmer<br />
and utilities and roading<br />
manager Gerard Cleary.<br />
The trio took with them<br />
letters from the Hurunui<br />
District Council,<br />
Ravenswood businesses,<br />
the Pegasus and Woodend<br />
Residents’Associations and<br />
the WoodendSefton<br />
Community Board in<br />
support of the Woodend<br />
projects.<br />
The proposed Woodend<br />
Bypasshas been in the<br />
pipeline for several years<br />
and Mr Gordonsays the<br />
council has backed the<br />
project since2001.<br />
“Thetransport minister<br />
understood the frustrations<br />
of the community and said<br />
he had received alot letters<br />
from people in Woodend,’’<br />
Mr Gordonsaid.<br />
‘‘While the minister did<br />
not give any commitment to<br />
the timing of the bypass’s<br />
construction, he did<br />
undertake to follow up with<br />
❛The transport<br />
minister understood<br />
the frustrations.❜<br />
—DanGordon<br />
NZTA(the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency) about<br />
this and also aboutmaking<br />
the road through Woodend<br />
safer in the short term.<br />
“The council cannot<br />
dictate how andwhere the<br />
government spends money<br />
on transport infrastructure,<br />
but this meetingwas away<br />
of makingsure the needs<br />
and aspirations of the<br />
community are<br />
acknowledged and known<br />
by the minister.”<br />
There have been safety<br />
concerns around Skew<br />
Bridge atSilverstream,in<br />
west Kaiapoi, for sometime.<br />
Aproposal to upgrade or<br />
replace the bridge has been<br />
put forward as part of a<br />
wider project to improve<br />
the western Rangiora<br />
alignment from Townsend<br />
and Fernside roads in<br />
Rangiora to the motorway<br />
and take pressure off<br />
Southbrookand Lineside<br />
Rd.<br />
The cost of upgrading<br />
Skew Bridgecould cost as<br />
much as $12 million, which<br />
would be amajor burdenon<br />
ratepayers if transport<br />
agency funding was not<br />
available.<br />

the area.’’<br />
From the Rangiora base,<br />
the Riley cars ventured to<br />
Halswell, Lincoln,<br />
Lyttelton, Amberley,<br />
Oxford, the Waimakariri<br />

visiting car museums and<br />
sheds across the region.<br />
Mr Calder says British<br />
Riley motor cars spanneda<br />
70year period starting at<br />
‘‘the dawnofmotoring’’.<br />
‘‘Theywere very<br />
successful in motorsport<br />
and were known for being<br />
very rugged and strong, and<br />
tendedtohold together in<br />
all conditions.’’<br />
He said the oldest car in<br />
the rally was from <strong>19</strong>28,<br />
with the newest from <strong>19</strong>67.<br />
Both were driven by their<br />

Ambassadors help campers<br />
Ambassadors are helping freedom<br />
campers to stay on track in the Cheviot<br />
area of Hurunui district.<br />
Two ambassadors havebeen employed,<br />
Nukuroa and Heidi TirikateneNash,<br />
who share a20houraweek position<br />
funded by the Ministry of Business<br />
Employment and Innovation (MBIE).<br />
Hurunui District Council’s compliance<br />
team leader,AndrewBrown, saysthe<br />
programme is goingwell.<br />
Behaviour of freedom campers has<br />
improvedand complaints havebeen<br />
reduced in Cheviot’s popular coastal<br />
locations of GoreBay, Nape Nape and<br />
nearby hot spotswhere the ambassadors<br />
have been workingover summer.<br />
Previously, freedom camping concerns<br />
were dealt with by districtcouncil<br />
officerswho had to drivelong distances to<br />
tackle complaints in the area.<br />
Ambassadors now provide the service,<br />
visiting when freedom campersare<br />
setting up forthe night, giving themthe<br />
opportunity to educatecampers on their<br />
responsibilities, share theirlove forthe<br />
area,and inform campers on what their<br />
options are, while savingratepayer<br />
dollars.<br />
When required,they enforce the<br />
council’s bylaws if acamper has setup<br />
wherefreedomcamping is prohibited.<br />
Nukuroa says their experiences have<br />
been largely positive,with overseas<br />
visitors happy to comply with bylaws.<br />
“Manyvisitors are really thankfultobe<br />
in the country and want to be good<br />
kaitiaki (guardians) and responsible<br />
travellers,” Nukuroa says.<br />
As tangata whenua, visitorshave<br />
appreciated the culturalinteraction with<br />
Nukuroa and many special connections<br />
have beenmade.<br />
“We’re mindfulthat we are partofa<br />
visitor’s travel experience in Hurunui so<br />
we try to get them onboard to work with<br />
us,and for themtohave enjoyed meeting<br />
us.<br />
‘‘We’vehad people say they haveleft<br />
theWest Coast and Queenstowntoreturn<br />
to the Hurunuiasitwas such agreat<br />
travel experience.”<br />
As ambassadors, Nukuroa and Heidi<br />
direct alot of business intothe<br />
community by sendingpeople to nearby<br />
camping grounds, or to the allocated<br />
freedom camping sites. They always give<br />
peopleoptionsfor movingon, whichhas<br />
been successful.<br />
“There are always people who wantto<br />
tryiton, and it’s surprisinghow well<br />
informedand howprecise the questions<br />
arefrom campers who wishtointerpret<br />
thefreedom campingbylaws in their<br />
favour.<br />
‘‘Most of the concerns are with New<br />
Zealanderswho have less tolerance to<br />
compliance,’’ Nukuroasays.<br />
Driving programme planned<br />
Mentordrivers are neededfor anew<br />
communitybased programme in the<br />
Waimakariri district.<br />
The SalvationArmy is launchingafree<br />
community drivermentor programme in<br />
Rangiora today to assist drivers in getting<br />
their restricted and full driver’s licences.<br />
Regional coordinatorJuliaGraham<br />
says the programme hasbeen<br />
running in Christchurch since<br />
2014, with 760 drivers<br />
advancing through the<br />
initiative.<br />
It is being extendedtothe<br />
West Coast,Timaru, Ashburton<br />
and the Waimakariri thanksto<br />
support from the Salvation<br />
Army, the government’s<br />
Provincial Growth Fund, the<br />
policeand StadiumCars.<br />
‘‘We really need mentors for this<br />
programme. They need to have had afull<br />
licence for at least two years, aclean<br />
drivers’ licence and to be patient; and they<br />
will go through apolice check.’’<br />
Julia was involved in setting up the<br />
OxfordUDriveprogramme to help young<br />
peopletogain their restricted licence.<br />
‘‘The new programme is different<br />
because it’s not just for teenagersbut for<br />
Julia Graham<br />
anybodywho’s got any barriers.It’s alsofor<br />
people on parole, single mums on a<br />
benefit, peoplewith disabilities or who<br />
struggle with mental health. Anxiety is a<br />
big one.’’<br />
Julia says she already has six people on<br />
the waiting list before the launch.<br />
Two sponsoredcars are being provided<br />
for the programme.<br />
The cars will be automatic.<br />
Drivers who sit the restricted<br />
licencedriving testare only<br />
licensed to drive automatics,<br />
but oncethey obtaintheir full<br />
licencethey will be able to<br />
drive both manual and<br />
automatic cars,Julia says.<br />
She says concerns havebeen<br />
raisedbydrivingschoolsthat<br />
theymay lose business.<br />
‘‘It’s not competingwith driving schools<br />
becauseweare helping thosewho can’t<br />
afford to pay for lessons. It’s about making<br />
driverssafer. If we can get all those people<br />
on our programme then we are goingtoget<br />
safer drivers on ourroads and that’swhere<br />
we are lookingtowork withthe police.’’<br />

Regions best placed<br />
to drive economy<br />
By RACHEL MACDONALD<br />
Wellington needs to letgoof the reins<br />
and letthe country’ssmaller<br />
communities get on withdrivingtheir<br />
own economic development.<br />
Thatisthe thrustofareport,<br />
Powering Up theRegions,recently<br />
released by DavidWilson,directorof<br />
Economic Development NewZealand.<br />
Mr Wilson sits on an advisorypanel<br />
for the government’s $1 billion<br />
Provincial Growth Fund,but thatonly<br />
applies to six regionsnationwide.<br />
He saysthe time hascometolookat<br />
economic development forall regions,<br />
along withfundingtosupport earlystage<br />
startupsthat will add value to the<br />
area.<br />
Waimakariri MayorDan Gordon,who<br />
sits on theboard of Enterprise <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> (ENC), says thepaperneeds<br />
careful consideration, and its findings<br />
willbediscussedwithENC and the<br />
council’s staff andrepresentatives in<br />
due course.<br />
He saysitraises amix of matters for<br />
existing economic development<br />
agencies such as ENC, their respective<br />
councils and thegovernment to get<br />
their headsaround.<br />
The reportargues thatregional<br />
councils and economic agencies have<br />
the ongroundknowledge and contacts<br />
needed to getlocally relevant,<br />
profitable, and sustainablebusinesses<br />
off theground.<br />
Theyalready knowhow to getthings<br />
done, it says, buthave to navigate too<br />
muchred tapetoget funding from<br />
central government to makeithappen.<br />
Thatisgetting in theway of the<br />
government’s30year economic plan,<br />
which calls forasustainable,<br />
productive andinclusive economy, but<br />
doesn’tset out howtoget there.<br />
‘‘Wedon’t have apolicy or strategy<br />
probleminNew Zealand;wehave an<br />
implementation problem,’’ thereport<br />
says.<br />
It also suggests thecurrent approach<br />
to regional development is too<br />
centralised, witharesultant lack of<br />
trust between local councils andcentral<br />
government.<br />
It recommendsbuilding capacity and<br />
capability for regional economic<br />
development,which willtake abetter<br />
understanding of policyand practice at<br />
all levels.<br />
It addsthat theregions needgood<br />
economic development agencies, but<br />
councils oftenstruggle to fundthem,so<br />
theyare underresourcedand therefore<br />
workingatless than full capacity.<br />
‘‘Fromwhat Isee of Mr Wilson’s<br />
findings, there are many aspects<br />
reflected in the way <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
alreadygoes abouteconomic<br />
developmentpromotion, throughENC,<br />
thatwecan be proud of,’’ Mr Gordon<br />
says.<br />
He addsthat thereare undoubtedly<br />
thingsthe regionmightdobetter,but<br />
resource implications, as noted in the<br />
report, needtobetaken intoaccount.<br />

Cottage revamp a<br />
quake milestone<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The historicWaiauCobCottage, badly<br />
damagedinthe2016 earthquake, has been<br />
reborn.<br />
Descendants of the Fraser family,who<br />
livedinthe cottage for20 yearsfrom1867,<br />
wereonhandlastSaturday to officially<br />
open the cottage and admire its<br />
restoration.<br />
Eleven members of thefamily travelled<br />
southfromTaumaranui,Tauranga,<br />
Havelock<strong>North</strong>,Taupo, Auckland,<br />
Whangamata and Masterton for the<br />
ceremony.<br />
They joined around 60 people,including<br />
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black, local<br />
councillor Ross Barnes and council staff,<br />
to celebrate the milestone in Waiau’s<br />
recovery fromthe7.8magnitude quake.<br />
Grant Fraser, the firstborn grandchild<br />
of Hugh Fraser, said there was something<br />
special about Waiau.<br />
‘‘It is such an amazing community. Ihave<br />
neverlived here,butitfeels like home,”<br />
Grant said. “When Ivisitedthecobcottage<br />
in 2017 after the earthquake damage, I<br />
never could haveimagined theresult we<br />
seetoday.Weare so gratefulforthe<br />
commitment and support everyone has<br />
given.Itis amazing.<br />
“Whatawonderful day, with great food<br />
and good people.<br />
❛It is such an amazing<br />
community. Ihave never lived<br />
here, but it feels like home.❜<br />
—Grant Fraser<br />
‘‘We are so happy we made it down.”<br />
Grant said the familyunderstoodHugh<br />
settled in the cottage with11children.<br />
Three children died and were buried in<br />
theWaiau cemetery.<br />
After 20 years in Waiau, the Frasers<br />
moved to Gisborne.<br />
The project to restore the cottagewas<br />
made possible by funding from the Lottery<br />
Grants Board and the AmuriHistorical<br />
Society.<br />
MaryBowen’s work in archiving the<br />
history of the Fraser family was<br />
recognised, along with the cob cottage<br />
history by Cameron Scott, aFraser<br />
descendant. Tribute was also paidtothe<br />
support of the council,the work of the<br />
builder, Jim Gentle, andthe effortsofM.C.<br />
Jackson Plastering Ltd in faithfully<br />
restoring the walls of the cottage using a<br />
mix of straw, localdirtandcow dung.<br />
Mrs Black said thecommunity had been<br />
amazing in swinging behind Waiau’s<br />
recovery and helping ensure the<br />
restoration of the cottage.<br />
Master plan being prepared<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Oxford AreaSchoolhopes to have a<br />
master planfor itsproposedrebuild by<br />
the endofthe year.<br />
Therehas been much anticipation<br />
sincethe government announceda<br />
$10 million redevelopment of the school<br />
in September 2018 and principal Mike<br />
Hart admitsthat progress has been a<br />
little slowerthan he would like.<br />
‘‘Last year, as aschool,wewrote a<br />
briefofhow we currently use the school<br />
setting and how we mightuse it in the<br />
future.<br />
‘‘It’s about lookingat50years from<br />
now.<br />
‘‘We’re not just rebuilding the school<br />
for tomorrow,it’s for the future, so it’s<br />
important that we invest the time in the<br />
planning.<br />
‘‘We are just excited and really<br />
looking forward to seeing thefirstdraft<br />
and then working withthe architects to<br />
finalise it.’’<br />
Mr Hart saysvirtually the entire<br />
school will be redeveloped, aside from<br />
the new modern learning environment<br />
building whichwas opened in 2017.<br />
The school will receiveanextra<br />
$347,000 fromthe government’s schools<br />
packageannounced towards the end of<br />
lastyearand ‘‘wewillbelookingtouse<br />
thatinconjunctionwith the rebuild’’.<br />
Mr Hart saysthe school’s observatory<br />
is considered aclassroomand will be<br />
incorporated in the rebuild.<br />
‘‘Wewould likeittobeacentrepiece<br />
in the school.The biggest challengeis<br />
the line of sight and being abletosee the<br />
horizon.’’<br />
The new observatorywill likely<br />
incorporatealecturetheatretype<br />
space, whichcan be used as aclassroom<br />
during the day,with thetelescope room<br />
attached.

acentennial dinner, where a<br />
booklet on the history of the<br />
club will be launched.<br />
The club was formedin<strong>19</strong><strong>19</strong><br />

Steph shows true grit in her chosen passion<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Waipara local and dog triallist Steph<br />
Tweed has been named the Skellerup<br />
New Zealand Rural Sportswoman of the<br />
Year.<br />
Steph was awarded the honour at the<br />
<strong>2020</strong> Norwood NZ Rural Awards at the<br />
Awapuni Racecourse in Palmerston<br />
<strong>North</strong> last weekend.<br />
Steph became the first woman to win a<br />
New Zealand dog trial championship in<br />
June last year.<br />
She won the <strong>North</strong> Island and the New<br />
Zealand championship straight hunt<br />
with Grit, her blackandtan huntaway,<br />
whom she has had since he was apup.<br />
Steph, astock manager, was<br />
introduced to dog trials by her father<br />
when she was at school. She says once<br />
you get ataste of trialling, it’s<br />
impossible to stop.<br />
She told the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
after her win that she had always been<br />
mad keen on dogs. She says her dogs are<br />
the main reasons she is farming.<br />
Steph entered her first national dog<br />
trial competition in 2013, aged 21.<br />
Last year, after competing in dog trial<br />
competitions against her father, Steph<br />
went on to claim third place in the South<br />
Island championships at Hanmer<br />
Springs, before taking astab at the<br />
national title which she won, becoming<br />
the first woman in the 130 years of the<br />
sport to claim the title.<br />
On the first goround, Grit scored a<br />
whopping 97 points to win the <strong>North</strong><br />
Island leg of the championship. In his<br />
second run, he scored 95.5, with both<br />
scores being tallied to give her the<br />
overall honours in the straight hunt.<br />
Grit was bred by Steph’s father, the<br />
offspring of his bitch Gemma, atwotime<br />
South Island straight hunt champion.<br />
Grit, who is just over 5 1 ⁄2,had been an<br />
easy dog to train.<br />
Steph says the sheep and beef farm<br />
she manages at Waipara provides an<br />
ideal place to keep her dogs fit and in<br />
work.<br />
The judging panel for the awards is<br />
convened by Olympic rowing medallist<br />
Nathan Twaddle, and includes rural<br />
sports icon and president of Shearing<br />
Sports New Zealand Sir David Fagan,<br />
fencing legend Paul van Beers, MP for<br />
TaranakiKing Country Barbara<br />
Kuriger, founder and trustee of the Ford<br />
Ranger New Zealand Rural Games<br />
Steve Hollander, and agricultural<br />
journalists Craig ‘‘Wiggy’’ Wiggins and<br />
Tony Leggett.<br />
Nominations for the awards are made<br />
by rural sports associations from<br />
throughout New Zealand.<br />
Eatery in Greystone'snew-look cellar door<br />
Organic wine producer<br />
Greystone has opened anewlook<br />
cellar door and eatery at<br />
its vineyard in Waipara.<br />
The cellar door now boasts<br />
an eatery offering sharing<br />
plates made from locally<br />
grown, organic and foraged<br />
produce. It is headed by<br />
acclaimed chef and forager,<br />
Melany Wright.<br />
General manager, and<br />
founding viticulturist Nick<br />
Gill says Mel’s food aligns<br />
perfectly with the team’s<br />
ambition to provide an<br />
authentic <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
wine and food experience.<br />
‘‘We make wine that<br />
reflects our environment, so<br />
it made sense to develop a<br />
menu that captures both<br />
season and provenance.<br />
‘‘Mel is renowned among<br />
chefs in New Zealand for her<br />
foraging skills as well as her<br />
ability to tell astory of place<br />
through food. There’s<br />
something very special about<br />
being able to share <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> food and wine in<br />
this way,’’ he says.<br />
The refit of the cellar door<br />
was motivated by the new<br />
labels launched by the<br />
winery at the end of last year.<br />
Greystone is 100 percent<br />
certified organic.<br />
The Greystone Cellar Door<br />
and Kitchen is open daily<br />
from 10am5pm.<br />

5.1magnitude earthquake near<br />
Culverden are creating<br />
uncertainty.<br />
‘‘The effects of the virus seem<br />
to be changing day to day, as we<br />
have seen with share markets<br />
and travel bans,’’ Mr Henderson<br />
says.<br />
‘‘The forestry sector and<br />
seafood sector seem to be feeling<br />
the greatest pain, followed<br />
closely by the meat sector.’’<br />
He says the dairy industry<br />
appears to be faring the best as<br />
markets seem to be more stable,<br />
and drought conditions have<br />
probably helped keep prices up.<br />
‘‘Luckily, our main market in<br />
China seems to be getting on top<br />
of the virus so it would be great to<br />
see areturn to normal trading<br />
happening soon.<br />
‘‘Things are dry, but most<br />
farmers seem to be surviving<br />
OK.’’<br />
Mr Munro says the Rural<br />
Support Trust is exploring ways<br />
Cameron Henderson ... ‘‘The effects of the virus seem to be changing day<br />
to day, as we have seen with share markets and travel bans.’’<br />
to help people stay connected<br />
now that large gatherings are<br />
being cancelled.<br />
‘‘I went to the Cheviot A&P<br />
Show at the weekend and it was a<br />
good event, and agood chance for<br />
people to catch up and have a<br />
chat.’’<br />
He says it is important for<br />
people to get out while they are<br />
able to and support local<br />
businesses and the wider<br />
community.<br />
‘‘It’s good that people are being<br />
proactive and postponing or<br />
cancelling overseas trips.<br />
‘‘I would encourage people to<br />
get along and support your local<br />
coffee shop and local businesses.<br />
It’s amatter of everybody being<br />
aware and thinking of others, and<br />
try to support each other.’’<br />
Mr Munro says there could be<br />
implications for large funerals<br />
and family gatherings, while<br />
school sports events may be in<br />
doubt.<br />
‘‘Hopefully we can get rain and<br />
at least that will take drought out<br />
of the equation.’’<br />
He reminds people that the<br />
trust is available to help by<br />
phoning 0800 787 254.<br />
‘‘Too often people think they<br />
are the only one in that situation,<br />
but as soon as they look out the<br />
door they realise everyone else is<br />
in the same boat.’’<br />
