Business 

outlook 

gloomy 

Awinter wonderland 

takes shape 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Business closures and redundanciesare 

looming in North Canterbury as the 

impact of Covid19 hitsthe region. 

The latestNorth CanterburyBusiness 

Opinion Survey by Enterprise North 

Canterbury (ENC)also shows adrop in 

business confidence. 

The survey, conducted during alert 

level2in May, included 154 businesses 

from the Waimakariri and Hurunui 

districts. Six percent said they faced the 

possibility of closure in the next six 

months, while 1% had already shut. 

Atotal of 74% saidthey expectedthe 

general business situation in the country 

to deteriorate over the nextsix months. 

ENC business support manager Miles 

Dalton says the survey doesn’t paint a 

positive picture, with most businesses 

struggling. 

‘‘We knewthat would be the case as 

we’vewatched Covid19 affect 

businesses acrossthe globe overrecent 

months and no regionhas been 

untouched. But we are seeing some 

positives coming through, too,”hesays. 

“For example, 20% of surveyed 

businesses have seenanincrease in 

profit, recruitment levels remain steady 

and local businesseshave reported that 

it has become markedly easiertosource 

new unskilled and semiskilled staff(net 

gainsof28% and 23% respectively),and 

slightlyeasier to source skilled 

employees (net +6%).’’ 

‘‘What we can say, however,isthatthe 

NorthCanterbury regionisbetterplaced 

longer term to weather the impact of this 

crisis due to our economy’s lower levelof 

reliance on international tourism.’’ 

Mr Dalton says ENC will continue to 

work hard to support businessesasthey 

face challenges fromCovid19.

Great start ... Mack the dog checks out avery appealing base at Mt Lyford. 


One more good dump of snow and Mt 

Lyford will open for the ski season. 

Hamish Simpson, who manages the 

North Canterbury field, says there is 

already agood covering and he is 

hopeful snow forecast this week will be 

the icing on the cake. ‘‘Snowdependent, 

we could open at the 

beginning of July.’’ 

This would be in time for the school 

holidays later in the month. However, 

it could open sooner if this week’s 

snow made the slopes viable for skiing. 

Mr Simpson says preseason 

preparations are nearly finished, and 

staff recruitment is done, which had 

taken abit of time because of the 

Covid19 lockdown. 

Skihire gear had been upgraded, 

with around 120 sets of skis available 

for hire. The popular tubing luge using 

hardbottomed tubes, alongside the

learners slope, was all set to go, along 

with the lifts and tows to take 

experienced skiers up the mountain. 

The Lake Stella mountain huts, 

managed by Tim Simpson, are already 

proving popular. The four huts were 

busy with guests last Saturday night 

and there were several who stayed 

again on Sunday night. ‘‘People are 

wanting to get out and about and enjoy 

the mountain atmosphere after 

lockdown,’’ says Hamish.

Fears over legalising cannabis 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

ARangiora man seriously injured in a 

road crash caused by an alcohol and 

cannabisimpaired driver believes the 

drug should not be legalised. 

Trevor Whitesuffered abroken sternum 

and other serious injuries in the crash 

caused when theother driver‘‘in a 

borrowed car, decided to overtake on a 

blindcorner, in fog’’. 

The resulting collision wroteoff both 

cars,damaged another, and puttwo 

people in hospital. 

‘‘I wasone of these,saved fromdeathfor 

another day,’’ he says. 

Trevor says he is ‘‘disturbedand upset’’ 

by the New Zealand Drug Foundation’s 

recent high profile,‘‘soft push’’advertising 

campaign to support legalisingcannabis in 

the September 19 CannabisControl 

Referendum to be heldinconjunction 

with the GeneralElection. 

‘‘It is not ahealth issue, nor doesthe law 

have the abilitytomake things safe,’’he 

says.A2017 research report by the 

University of Waikato’s School of 

Psychology for the New Zealand Transport 

Agency linkedcannabis to an increased 

risk of performing unsafe driving actions. 

This,itwas found, dramaticallyincreased 

in drivers who had also consumed alcohol. 

Research by the New Zealand 

Automobile Association (AA) concurs with 

this finding. 

‘‘A littleknown danger with cannabis is 

that the impairment effects skyrocket if it 

is combined withalcohol or other drugs,’’ 

says Dylan Thomsen, the AA’sprincipal 

communications adviser for motoring 

affairs. 

‘‘Even asmall amountofalcohol, plus 

cannabis, equalsextreme risk on the 

roads. 

‘‘TheAAhas called drugged drivinga 

silent killer on our roads because, for a 

long time, it flew underthe public radar, 

despite drugs beinginvolved in manyfatal 

crashes.’’ 

Trevor believes driverimpairment 

through cannabis use willprove to be less 

controllablethan alcohol. 

The push to legalise cannabis is also at 

odds with the Government’s longterm goal 

of reducing smoking prevalence and 

tobacco availability to minimal levels, 

Trevor says.

Businesses struggle following lockdown 

From Page 1 

Meanwhile,Waimakariri MP 

Matt Doocey saysfor many 

Waimakariri businesses there 

is an air of desperation and 

fear of theunknown. But there 

is also asense of optimism and 

confidence in the future. 

He says thosethat have 

survived the lockdown are 

now reaching out to their 

community for support to help 

them pull through. 

Some had fallen victim to 

the lockdown, or closed for 

otherreasons; others were 

teetering on the brink due to 

the border closure, such as 

travelagencies, he says. 

The MP’steam called 

businesses, community groups 

and local residents throughout 

the lockdown to offer help. 

‘‘We wanted to checkinwith 

them and seehow theywere 

and let them know what help 

was available,’’ he says. 

There was good feedback 

about the wagesubsidy. ‘‘It 

was awelcome relief. But 

many were concerned there 

was littlesupportfor them in 

the senseofhelping with 

cashflow,’’hesays. 

Motelsstillhad fixedcosts, 

with one needing $15,000 a 

month to make ends meet. 

‘‘Thesebusinesses are quite 

concerned about their ability 

to pay their fixedcosts,and 

there werereal concerns 

about the relationship 

betweentenantsand 

landlords in some cases.’’ 

However,therewere also 

good stories about landlords 

looking aftertenants, and both 

looking aftereach other. 

Lessons from the Canterbury 

earthquakes and how 

communities supported each 

other, are againtothe fore,he 

says.

evenhad suppliers ringingup

Still on agenda ... The Hurunui District Council continues to eye opportunities for developing the Soldiers’ Block in Hanmer 

Springs. 

Next steps for block approved 


The Hurunui District Council will 

continue with abusiness case to 

develop the Soldiers’ Block at the 

former Queen Mary Hospital in 

Hanmer Springs into amultiuse 

facility. 

The council approved the next steps 

for the block at its council meeting last 

week, including refining the financial 

modelling. 

The multiple uses proposed for the 

Soldiers’ Block include acommercial 

and creative shared hub, acommunity 

space for hire, awar experience, a 

cafe, afunction space with a 

commercial kitchen, amovie theatre, 

and temporary worker accommodation 

with amanager’s flat. 

The council is aiming for aproject 

that strikes the right balance between 

economic return and community use, 

and which does not create afinancial 

burden on the district’s ratepayers. 

It will now turn its focus to demand 

projections, operating costs and 

whether astaged development would 

be preferred, with the cost being met 

within existing budgets. 

The council’s chief strategy and 

community officer, Judith Batchelor,

says the council has been exploring a 

range of options to fund the capital 

development of the project, including 

infrastructure ‘‘shovelready’’ 

Funding, the Provincial Growth Fund, 

and Lotteries Commission funding. 

“From discussions with funding 

agencies, it has been made clear that 

projects that are shovelready are 

being given priority.’’ 

She says to get shovelready, the 

project needs the financial modelling 

refined, the layout confirmed and 

secure community or council funding 

in place for the nongrant portion of 

the development costs.

Oak stump crafted into table 


Asmallpart of astand of oakseast of 

Rangiora, felled on private property to make 

theRangioraWoodend cycleway safer, live 

on. 

Nick Gyde, whose woodworking skillswere 

reignited when gifted alarge oak stumpfrom 

theproperty, hasturned acouple of slabsinto 

astunning table. 

Nick had been pondering whetherhe 

would be cheeky enough to ask if he could 

buysome of the timberfrom the trees. 

He was humbledwhen theownerswere 

‘‘lovely enough’’ to give him agiant oak stump 

further down theproperty. 

‘‘Iwas then faced withtwo options. Get a 

sawmillerout and see if they could transport 

it away and cutitup, or do a‘hack and slash’ 

jobmyselfwith dad’schainsaw.’’ 

He chosethe latter,and set to work on 

cuttingslabs, destroying his father’s 

chainsaw in the process. 

Butafter aweek he had managed to salvage 

eight slabs, two metreslong, fromthe stump, 

that had been sitting for six months. 

‘‘Itwas aheck of aprocess.Iworked flat out 

to cut and slab it on site,’’hesays. 

Friends and familyhelped transport the 

slabs to his parents’lifestyle property at 

Okuku,where Nickbuilt astoragefacility to 

drythem and ashed to workin. 

Eight months later, he began work. 

‘‘It was the first time Ihad workedona 

table. It was all doneusinghand tools 

becauseIdon’t ownany big tools, aside from 

an orbitalsander.’’ 

Sixweekslater his masterpiece was 

finished. 

‘‘Therewas alot of learning thatwent into 

it.There were somedozey partsand weaker 

parts that Ihad to remove and use resin. 

‘‘Iknew what Iwanted to do, but had never 

done it before. Ifoundpeoplearound 

Christchurch who had used resin. 

‘‘It was avery interestingexperience. A 

couple of times things endedinfailures and 

Ihad to cut them out, and startagain.’’ 

Nickused twoslabs to makethe piece — 

one cut in half for legs,and one for the top. 

The slabswere 80mm thick and he ended up 

getting an engineer to help attach the legs 

withsteel brackets hiddentostrengthen 

them. 

‘‘I am going to keep it,’’ Nick says of the 

finishedpiece. ‘‘It is the firstpiece thissizeI 

haveever made. ‘‘Itisabsolutely stunning,’’ 

he says. 

The remainingslabs are beingleft to dry, 

and Nicksays he will be looking to make a 

couple moreresindining roomtables 

because he loveshow his firstattempt turned 

out. 

He wouldlike to makeone for his parents 

as athankyou. 

‘‘They were sick of the dustIwas creating. 

It was everywhere,’’ he says. 

Nickhas also craftedwalking sticks, one of 

which has gone to his grandmother. 

He workswith whatever he finds on walks 

in the bush fromfelled trees and from 

windblowntimber. 

Labour of love ... Nick Gyde stains his oak table. 

Nick says the only drawbacktocrafting 

anything big is he no longer has access to his 

parent’s garage because it’s now filledup 

with his father’s gear. 

‘‘I might havetobuildasecond shed.’’ 

Crafted ... Nick also makes walking sticks.

Popular 

market 

set to 

return 

By DAVID HILL 

Rangiora’s Blake St 

market will return this 

Sunday. 

With the move to alert 

level 1, the popular 

Rangiora Sunday 

Market in the Blake St 

car park will return as a 

monthly attraction 

during the winter, 

market founder Arthur 

Linnell says. 

‘‘Since the move to 

level 1was announced 

I’ve been flooded with 

people wanting 

information about stalls. 

‘‘I’ve had alot of 

enquiries from visitors 

to the market, messages 

and phone calls asking 

when are we going to 

reopen, so Ithink we will 

get agood response.’’ 

Arthur says the market 

will become fortnightly 

again in spring. 

The Rangiora Sunday 

Market is afundraiser 

for the North Canterbury 

Model Railway Club, as 

it looks for more 

permanent clubrooms. 

At present, the club is 

based in abuilding next 

to the Blake St car park, 

but the longterm future 

is uncertain as the 

Waimakariri District 

Council is developing 

plans to construct a 

parking building on the 

site. 

‘‘The market and our 

clubrooms have some 

certainty for the next six 

months, but we just take 

each month as it comes,’’ 

Arthur says. 

He says the Thomas 

and Friends train layout 

will be available in the 

clubrooms during the 

market from 9am to 2pm. 

He is also hoping to 

have Thomas and 

Friends back for 

KidsFest during the July 

school holidays, with the 

venue to be advised.

Jobs summit planned 

As our community faces further job 

lossesorreduced incomes as aresult of 

Covid19, it will be important to work 

together to support business confidence 

in the WaimakaririDistrict. 

According to arecent article in this 

newspaper, the numberofpeople 

receiving Jobseeker support has 

increasedbyalmost 300, risingfrom 557 

at the end of March to 847 at the end of 

April. 

It is vital to our community’srecovery 

that we support local businesses, which 

provide jobs and incomes for our 

community. 

The challenges we face presentan 

opportunity to get arange of business 

peopletogether to ask one question: at a 

time of economic downturn, how do we 

keep peopleinjobs and grow new jobs? 

The WaimakaririJob Summit, which I 

am organisinginJuly,will aim to provide 

answers on how we achievethis. 

The summitwill harness the ideas of 

our business community, looking at 

fundamentals such as infrastructure, 

spending and improved regulations, and

Recent musings by Jamie 

McFadden in last week’s North 

Canterbury News are 

important to all who have a 

stream, creek or river within 

or close to their boundaries. 

Most of what Ihave read in 

recent times appears to 

involve inventing rules and 

regulations by people who 

have very little, if any, real life 

experience of living with 

waterways. 

Ihave done so in one place 

for more than 80 years. 

The Weka Creek has been 

my bath in drought times and I 

have had to swim it hanging on 

to ahorse simply to get to the 

other side of the farm. It was 

running too high for atractor. 

That experience, if you like, 

is much like that of asailor —

The north branch of the 

Weka starts just south of 

Waikari and, until it enters my 

property, is constrained in the 

Weka Pass through limestonebased 

formations where flood 

erosion is minimal. Then it 

reaches the old seabottom,

The most notable change in

2km up from earlier periods.

Eye to the future ... Rangiora High School staff and pupils learned alot from lockdown.

Lockdown an online 

learning showcase 

By DAVID HILL 

The Covid19 lockdown has provided 

plenty of learning opportunities at 

Rangiora High School. 

The school has focused on exploring 

the future of education over the last two 

years, so the lockdown provided the 

opportunity to see it in action, associate 

principal Paul Donnelly says. 

‘‘We have learned alot from the online 

learning experience and that will help 

shape how we develop our learning in 

the future.’’ 

Since school reopened, parents have 

been surveyed and staff and pupils 

interviewed to gather data on their 

experiences, and this has been mostly 

positive, Mr Donnelly says. 

Principal Karen Stewart says the 

experiences varied depending on the 

individual, with some students thriving 

with the flexibility, while others 

struggled in the online 

learning environment. 

Mr Donnelly says it shows 

there is still an important 

role for schools. 

‘‘I think secondary 

education is totally evolving 

and becoming more 

responsive to the changing 

nature of learning and the 

changing workplace, and 

that’s one of the big lessons 

from the lockdown. 

‘‘During the lockdown 

students really missed the 

social and physical networking of facetoface 

contact with their peers and 

seeing their teachers. 

‘‘On reflection, it’s raised the desire 

through the profession to be adaptive 

and to recognise that there are other 

ways of teaching and recognising the 

strengths of aschool in having people 

together.’’ 

While Google Classroom was the 

primary learning tool, heavy use was

made of social media as pupils sought to 

connect with each other, but it was not as 

good as actually being at school, Ms 

Stewart says. 

Virtual assemblies and avirtual Anzac 

Day service were successfully held 

during the lockdown. 

Acasualty of the lockdown was the 

second annual careers expo, 

which was to be held this 

month. 

The expo was first held last 

year as an innovation to help 

young people transition from 

school to tertiary education 

and the workplace by engaging 

with prospective education 

providers and local employers. 

‘‘We have had to postpone 

the expo until next year,’’ Ms 

Stewart says. 

‘‘We made the call just before 

lockdown, but it will become 

even more critical in the new 

environment. We are not losing that 

opportunity and we will provide 

opportunities for our students in 

different ways next term.’’ 

While many jobs of the future are yet 

to be conceived, Mr Donnelly says 

schools have important roles to play in 

teaching young people life skills, to be 

problem solvers, adaptable, resilient 

and creative. 

and more debris and sediment, raising

The result? It will burst out andcarve

freehold land with it. 

This will not be an “Act of God”. It will 

be the price of negligence by the state.

Anniversary show planned 

By DAVID HILL 

The Hartley School of PerformingArts 

planstomark its 25th birthday in style 

during the SeptemberOctober school 

holidays. 

School directorDale HartleyBrown has 

optedfor afull school production of The 

Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe from 

September30toOctober 3, coinciding with 

the school’s25th anniversary. 

She madethe decisionafter the Covid19 

lockdown threwthe annualmidyear 

senior production in July into doubt. 

‘‘We didn’t know whether we wouldbe 

able to holditand, even if we did, there 

wouldbeareductioninnumbers, 

especially whenthe audience is often 

grandparents taking their grandchildren.’’ 

But Dale saysshe has had alot of 

support from the Waimakariri District 

Council in offering discountsand 

exemptions for use of the Rangiora Town 

Hall forevents. 

Duringthe lockdown,Dale says her 

tutorswereable to provide lessons online, 

but it was arelief to get back into the studio 

under alert level2. 

While the governmentwage subsidy 

helpedher to continue payingher tutors, 

the lockdownhas hit theschool’s revenue. 

‘‘It hasn’t been as bad as Ithought, but 

it’s hard to quantify what we’ve lost. 

‘‘The increase in studentsbetween 

terms one and threeisusually about 7to8 

percent, butinsteadwehave probably lost 

about 12%. But we won’t really knowuntil 

we get to termthree.’’ 

While the midyear productionhas been 

cancelled, the school is goingahead with 

its annual performing arts wintercamp in 

the secondweek of the July holidays. 

Dale also has aday of activities planned

From Peru with love 


The100 percent Peruvian Arabica

Three Llamas Gourmet Coffee 

House and Roastery. 

‘‘Our coffeeisdifferent from 

other coffees in New Zealand,’’ 

says Richard Jackman, owner of 

thecoffeehousewith his Peruvianborn 

wife, Cecilia. ‘‘Our coffee is 

singleorigin, coming fromone 

small region in northern Peru, 

whereasmost espresso coffee is a 

blend of coffeebeansfrom three or 

more countries.’’

‘‘Our coffeeisclassedas

‘‘This is the highestgrade of coffee 

availableand makes up just 5% of 

theworld’s total coffee production. 

‘‘In addition, thearea our coffee

to Woodend and established their

close relationship with their

Richard and Cecilia, who are

Now,intheir own business, they 

focus on developing and providing 

customers with high quality and 

highhealth coffee, using the skills 

fromtheirsciencedays. 

Although selling cups of coffee is 

abig part of the business, the beans 

are the biggestearner. They sell to

Aid for at-risk terns 

Numbers of the nationally 

endangered nativeblackfronted 

terns are dwindling, 

but the birds are getting an 

advantage in the ongoing 

battle against braided river 

predatorsonthe Clarence 

River/Waiau Toa. 

Aerial weed controland 

trapping every 100morso 

alongthe banks are helping 

increasethe nesting success 

of the terns. 

Both activities have 

lessened mammalian 

predatorsand weeds which 

threaten their habitat. 

Hedgehogs, stoats, 

weasels,cats, rats, mice, 

possumsand the southern 

blackbackedgull have all 

been targeted due to their 

hunger for eggs, chicks and 

occasionally adult birds. 

Blackbacked gulls are 

significantpredators of birds 

that dependonbraided 

rivers for breeding grounds 

and food, such as the tern. 

In 2016, the Kaikoura 

WaterZone Committee 

committed$250,000 of 

Immediate Steps biodiversity 

funding over five 

years to protect indigenous 

biodiversity in the catchment 

through weed controland 

pestmanagement. 

Kaikoura landmanagementand 

biodiversity officer 

Heath Melville saysabove 

averageflows in October 

createdmany naturalislands 

and cleared vegetation, 

which helped the birds. 

‘‘But, unfortunately,high 

flows followed,leading to 

islandsbeing flooded and 

only14chicks fledging this 

season, compared to 142 

chicks the season before.’’ 

The average number of 

chicks per nest on both 

managed and unmanaged 

blackfronted terncolonies 

has increased since the 

projectbegan. 

Management of the river is 

shared between 

EnvironmentCanterbury 

and the Marlborough District 

Council. 

additional$150,000 grant, and afurther 

proposal to top up funding has been 

submitted through the council for the 

Government’s ‘‘shovel ready’' project 

funding. 

Construction is due to start this spring, 

with an anticipated opening date in early 

2021. The vision remainstodeliver an 

aquatic centre that is fit for purpose, 

sustainableand futureproofed. 

The initial focus is on an outdoor 

facility, with alongterm stage2 project 

goal to enclose the centre. 

The building consent has been lodged. 

Detailed design work is complete and a 

lease has been signed for the new site in 

Scarborough Street. 

The site provides space for parking,

Bryonsteps up 

to help others 

By DAVID HILL 

Asking forhelp andgettingtheright 

supportare the biggest challenges for 

men struggling with mental health. 

Rangiora’s Bryon Cope has battled 

mental health issues his whole life and 

has devoted the last 15 years to helping 

others. 

‘‘Thenumberone thingthatcomes to 

mindistheinabilityfor mento askfor 

help.Alot ofmenwho I’veworkedwith 

havealimited vocabulary when it comes 

to feelings, so they may become angry. 

‘‘It’s OK to be angry; it’s what you do 

with it.There’s afineline between 

getting angryand appropriately 

expressing anger.’’ 

Bryon says finding someone to talkto 

is noteasyasfewpeople‘‘aretrained 

aroundlistening’’. 

A barrierfor men seeking help is a 

lackof menworking in themental 

healthsector,whichcan potentially lead 

to an expressionofanger beingtaken 

thewrong way. 

‘‘Theangercan becomethe issue, and 

notwhat theman is actuallythere for.’’ 

Earlier this year, Bryon spoke at the 

Mental HealthFoundation conference, 

with justfourmen amongagroupof35 

professionals coming to listen to his talk. 

‘‘Iasked themto think of asecretthat 

noone knows and tellit to someone in 

the room that you don’t know. 

‘‘None of themwanted to do it,soI 

said:‘that’s howitmaybeformen when 

they are askedtotalk when seeking 

help’. Howdo you talk aboutsomething 

that you don’t have avocabulary for?’’ 

He advises those seeking help should 

‘‘shop around’’ to findsomeone theycan 

developarapportwith. 

‘‘You never buy the firstpairofshoes 

youtry on in ashop.’’ 

After15years working in mental 

healthand addiction, Bryon 

experienced bullying and suffered a 

breakdown last year,spendingtimein 

hospital. Hecontemplatedtakinghis 

life. 

Before his breakdown,Bryon sought 

❛You can do all the right 

things and still get unwell. 

It’s amatter of picking up the 

warning signs before you hit 

the bottom of the bell 

curve.❜ 

—Bryon Cope 

help from key people whom he trusted. 

‘‘Ihadtoacknowledge my dietwas 

rightandIwas doingthe fivewinning 

ways to wellbeing,but somethingwas 

stillmissing.SoIwant to let people 

know. You can do all the right things and 

still get unwell. It’s amatterofpicking 

up thewarningsignsbefore you hitthe 

bottomofthebellcurve.’’ 

Bryonis no strangerto struggles with 

mental health, as ‘‘a lack of positive role 

models’’ led to him drinking and 

smoking dope from the age of 12, until 

making aconscioussuicide attempt at 

age29. 

‘‘I hadlots ofunconscious attempts 

likedrinkdriving,caraccidents andlots 

of risktaking behaviours.’’ 

His story appeared on season two of 

Nigel Latta’stelevisionseries, The Hard 

Stuff.Hehas alsospoken at twoWorld 

Suicide Symposiums in Christchurch. 

Bryon is on asickness benefitwhile he 

recovers from last year’s breakdown, but 

has started to volunteer with the 

DepressionSupport Network. 

‘‘I’m gettingstrongerevery day. It’s 

about doing the small things —small 

things matter. Routines are important. I 

make sure Ihavebreakfast every 

morning; Igosomewhere public so I’m 

not isolated. Idosudokuand Ijustneed 

to be gentle with myself.’’ 

He says recovering from abreakdown, 

is ‘‘like learningtowalkagain andit’s 

notgoingtohappen overnight’’. 

‘‘Justdon’tgiveup every time you 

bang yourheadorfall over. Andmake 

sure you seekthe help youneed.’’

announcement around 

building workthat can be

The new exemptions 

include larger buildings such 

as sleepouts with afootprint 

of up to 30 square metres and 

pole sheds and hay barns, but 

thesecome withspecial

If you don’t get it right, you 

couldend up tryingtosort out

Whilethese measures apply to 

businessesbeyond just SMEs, they provide 

substantialbenefitstothis sector. 

However, more support is neededto 

boostconfidence and helpSMEs get 

through thiscrisis. 

In particular, some SMEsare struggling 

to meet theirnonlabourrelated fixed 

costs, butare not abletotake on moredebt. 

Without further support fromthe 

government,some otherwise viable SMEs 

may be forced to close permanently. 

The governmenthas announced new 

measures to provide relief for businesses 

during the Covid19 pandemic: 

Greater flexibility for taxpayers in 

respect of statutorytax deadlines; 

Changes to the tax loss continuity rules; 

Atax loss carryback scheme; 

Further business consultancy support; 

Measures to support commercial 

tenants and landlords. 

Meanwhile,the localeconomic 

development agency, Enterprise North 

Canterbury (ENC), is reaching out to 

businesses to help them through the 

effects of Covid19. 

Its business supportteam is providing 

information to local businesses, checking

Tax changes support recovery 

New legislation introduced to 

Parliament earlier this month is aimed 

at supporting growth and helping 

businesses recover, Revenue Minister 

Stuart Nash says. 

The Taxation (Annual Rates for 

202021, Feasibility Expenditure, and 

Remedial Matters) Bill proposes that 

businesses get tax deductions for 

feasibility expenditure on new 

investments. 

‘‘We’ve already introduced research 

and development tax credits to support 

investment in research and 

development. 

‘‘This new proposal is the next step in 

giving businesses the confidence to 

invest in growth, even when some of 

their ideas don’t work out,’’ he says. 

Mr Nash says business owners say 

costs incurred in exploring anew asset 

or business model are often not tax 

deductible. This can deter them from 

investing in growth and innovation. 

‘‘The new legislation addresses these 

barriers to help unlock investment. 

‘‘Businesses would be able to claim a 

deduction spread over five years for 

feasibility expenditure incurred in 

investigating anew asset, process or 

business model even if it is subsequently 

abandoned,’’ he says. 

To reduce compliance costs, 

particularly for small and mediumsized 

businesses, qualifying expenditure of 

less than $10,000 would be immediately 

deductible in the current income year. 

‘‘This helps with business cashflow. 

‘‘We are supporting Kiwi companies to 

innovate and grow by making it easier to 

invest in new assets and business 

models. Current rules can be 

problematic. 

‘‘We are making the system fairer and 

keeping compliance costs low for 

businesses,’’ Mr Nash says. 

The bill also contains the following 

proposals that have previously been 

subject to public consultation: 

Scammers attempt to prey on taxpayers 

InlandRevenueiswarning people to be 

wary of scammers during the2020tax 

refund season. 

Taxrefundsare automatically 

processed andpaidbythe department 

up until theend ofJuly. It is atime 

scammersmay trytoscamtaxpayers. 

This year, the department will send 

about2.5 million automaticallyassessed 

taxrefund notices using bothcustomers’ 

myIR accounts andthroughthe post. 

These will be sentdaily in batches, 

Monday to Friday, until theend ofJuly. 

Scammersknowthisaswell andtarget 

this timeofthe tax year to try to rip 

people off. 

Many willtry to gain access to bank 

Changes afoot ... Anew bill before Parliament aims to support growth through tax 

changes. 

New rules governing purchase price 

allocation, where parties to the sale of 

two or more assets with different tax 

treatments allocate the sales price 

between the assets for tax purposes; 

New rules from the ongoing review of 

the taxation of land, particularly in 

relation to investment property and 

speculators. The changes will improve 

efficiency of the tax system and 

encourage productive use of land and 

properties; 

Allowing dairy and beef cattle farmers 

who have unexpected taxable income as 

aresult of their herd being culled (in 

pursuit of eradicating Mycoplasma bovis 

accountsand other personal details. 

Here is what thetax departmentwill 

and won’t do when sending out tax 

assessment notices: 

It will letpeopleknowifthey have a 

refund bysendinganincome tax 

assessment; 

It will only payfundsdirectlyinto the 

bankaccount it has on record andwill 

ask peopletolog into theirmyIR account 

fromird.govt.nz; 

It will askfor bankaccountdetailsif 

the departmentdoesn’t have them, but 

importantly, it willalwaysaskpeople to 

provide these in asecure way usingtheir 

myIRaccount or throughits callcentre.; 

Thedepartmentwillneverput adollar 

amount of arefund in an email or text 

message andwillnot askfor credit or 

debitcarddetailsinorder to pay a 

refund.Itwill also never askpeople to 

replytoanemail or textmessage to

Thedepartment will also neverspeak

Drought effects linger ... The region may be green, but that does not spell the end 

of the drought.

Recentrainfails to 

end Canty drought 

While useful rain has landed in North 

Canterbury in the last two months, it 

has not been sufficientortimely 

enoughfor afull recovery from drought 

heading into winter. 

The chairman of the Hurunui 

Adverse Events Committee, Winton 

Dalley, says the rain has movedthe 

district to a‘‘green drought’’, with feed 

coversat50to60percent of normal 

levelsonmany farms. 

He saysmany farmers have acted 

early and prepared by buying in feed, 

destocking and findinggrazing. 

‘‘Thisisone of the few benefits of 

past drought experiences,’’ he says. 

Mr Dalley urges those new to the 

district to not underestimate the value 

of local knowledge fromtheir fellow 

farmers, particularly if thereisadump 

of snow. 

‘‘If you are new to the district, get 

some advicenow from neighbours who 

have been in this situation in the past. 

‘‘An extreme snow event is atime 

when we see neighbours really pull 

together. There is still feedout there, 

so get it now for winter.’’ 

He says the AgriHQ Feed 

Noticeboard can help, and he advises 

that farmers use the freefeed planning 

and feed coordination services which 

are running this monthfor farmers all 

over the country. 

Meanwhile, farmers in dry partsof 

North Canterbury can expect aphone 

call to checkonhow they are doing as 

the region movesinto winter. 

North Canterbury Rural Support 

Trust coordinator Claire Ford says the 

calls are areminder to farmers that 

support is available. The phone 

campaign is alsogivingthe trust a 

chancetoget afeel for farmer 

wellbeing after along lockdownperiod 

in drought, she says. 

‘‘Generally,farmers seem to be doing 

well, withtheir main concernbeing 

how they will cope for feedifthey get 

ahard winter or abig dump of snow.’’ 

The Meat &Wool chairman of North 

Canterbury Federated Farmers, Dan 

Maxwell, says whilemost people will 

have aplan in place for snow, it would 

pay to think about how to cope with an 

extreme event. 

‘‘Givesome thought to where you can 

position your stock so they have 

sufficient shelterand access to feed 

supplements if possible, and have 

sufficient animal health supplies on 

hand to deal withany sleepy sickness 

that may arise’’ he says. 

Snow guidelinesreleased by Beef+ 

Lamb New Zealandhas useful 

management and feeding tips to help 

develop aplan. 

‘‘You can finditontheir websiteor 

give your local rep acall,’’ he says. 

The Ministry for Primary Industries 

also has advice on its website on 

looking after livestockaffectedby 

snow. 

Feed coordinatorshave been 

appointed to help connect farmers 

with available feed sources. Theyare 

coordinating offers and requests in 

each region, workingwith the primary 

sectorgroups and trusts. 

To use the service, farmersneed to

First division contest to launch 

RUGBY 

By LINDSAY KERR 

SuperRugby's reintroduction 

last weekend prompted 

considerable hype and 

anticipation. Closer to home, 

excitement is building at the 

prospect of rugby’s return in 

North Canterbury. 

The eight division1 teams 

all had hitouts last Saturday 

against sides from either 

Ellesmere or Metro. 

Perhaps the feeling of 

players, officials and 

spectators alike was summed 

up by an Ashley playerduring 

hisside’sgameagainst 

Lincoln,with hiscommentto 

hissubstitute as he ranoff — 

‘‘this is exciting!’’ 

Withthecombined country 

competition scrapped for 2020, 

the season will be aNorth 

Canterbury affaironly.Itwill 

kick off thisweekend. 

Defending champion 

Glenmark willbelookingto 

repeat its 2019 success to help 

the clubfinallycelebrate 

somethinginits centennial 

celebration season. 

Also, in their thoughts will be 

an unbeaten record that dates 

backtoMay2018. 

MattKeaneand Ben Cassidy 

will againcoachtheside and 

manykeyplayers from last 

season are returning. This 

includes super boot Brook 

Retallick and captain Ben 

Anderson. 

However, the futures of 

Fijian stars Sake Aea and 

Sunia Kubu are in doubt. 

The 2019beatenfinalist 

Kaiapoi matured over the last 

season. Theirconfidence 

remains, particularly after two 

excellent preseason games. 

One was awin against 

Belfast in the annual battle of 

the bridge. Matt Newton, 

Simon Gunn and Frank Soli 

return to coach and much of 

the playingsquad is intact. 

Returning to theclubfrom 

theMetro competition is front 

rower Nathan Cassidy 

Richards, whilefirstfiveeighth 

LanceTaylorisback 

from overseasand Rob Samson 

returns froma2018 injury. 

Oxfordwillbecoached by 

formerclub prop BenGorst, 

andthetalentedStu Dalzell 

returns to cement the pack. 

After adisappointing 

countrywidecompetition last 

year,Oxford’sseason finished 

at semifinal time in the North 

Canterbury competition with a 

onepoint loss to Kaiapoi. 

Ohoka,the bigimprovers 

fromlast season,willbe 

looking for that trend to 

continue.Earning asemifinal 

spot last season against 

Glenmark, Ohoka come to 2020 

with good numbers and more 

competition for spots, 

particularly in the front row. 

Returning players include 

first five Patrick McCallum 

from Metro and halfback Sam 

England, back from injury. 

WayneHemmingson is 

coach with Dave Fulton, Dayle 

Sutherland and Terry 

O’Loughlinassisting. 

Saracens have alsohada 

good buildup to thedisrupted 

season, with confidencebuilding 

effortsagainst 

Springstonand WestMelton. 

Afterasolid performance in 

last season’s countrywide 

competition, the side’s season 

fellaway with aspate of 

injuriestokeyplayers not 

helping thecause. 

Oneoftheinjured, captain 

Josh Maynard, is again fit;and 

newcomer Connor Burns, from 

Canada, is expected to help 

bolsterthe front row. Troy 

Manaena isthe newcoach. 

Hurunui’sstrengths andits 

player poolcontinuesto rise. 

Thesidehas sixnewcomers. 

Hurunuiwill be coachedby 

theexperiencedtrio of Ben 

Frame, Bede Crean and 

Marcus Taylor. 

The standout player for 

NorthCanterburyduties, 

BrianAnderson, willagain 

leadthe pack, with Willie 

Jamieson and Hamish Earl 

also returning. 

Woodend’sreturn to firstdivisionrugbylast 

season was 

justified and, while the results 

at timeswere not what theside 

wanted, it finished witha 

confidentwin over Ashley. 

IanMcGillivray will again 

coach and Rangioraclub 

doublecenturionand Maori 

AllBlack John Abraham will 

joinhim. 

Ashley’s longtrip backfrom 

aseason away from division 1 

grows in momentum.This was 

confirmed by itsperformance 

againstEllesmere champions 

Lincolninapreseason game 

lastSaturday. 

Theclub’scommitmentto 

hold acoltssideinits framework 

in recentseasons is 

paying dividends, with several 

playersnow stepping up. 

Addedtothis, theside has Josh 

Duckworthreturning from 

Metrorugby.RuebinKing will 

captain the side and last 

season’s captain, Jimmy 

Thiele, is back after ashoulder 

injury.AlSim is thenew coach.

Kaiapoi Christadelphians 

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52) 

GOD’S PROMISES TO ABRAHAM 

The man Abraham is apivotal figure in the purpose of God. What 

do we know about him? He is first mentioned in Genesis 11 and 

12, called by God to leave Ur of the Chaldees (Mesapotamia) and 

head North West to the land of Canaan, where God proclaims 

he will give this land to his seed. Genesis 12:7 and 13:14-17. 

This required faith as he and his wife Sarah had no child. In 

time he has achild-Ishmael, born ofSarah’s maid, but this 

is not the promised seed. Sarah, too old to bear naturally is 

miraculously given conception and she bears Isaac-the seed 

promised to inherit the land. This refers to his descendants and 

in particular the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 3:16. Faithful 

followers are included as heirs of the promise in verse 29. 

The promises God makes to Abraham are essentially the 

gospel - Galatians 3:7-9 Therefore the gospel is not aNew 

Testament teaching alone. It is the whole purpose of God 

with Israel in the Old Testament, and the nations in the New 

Testament. God’s mercy always provides hope. TODAY isthe 

day of opportunity.
