Railway loses some puff 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

The lockdown hastaken its toll on the 

Weka PassRailway. 

It is low on volunteers and has alot of 

work to do before gettingupenough steam 

to fully resume passenger tripsonthe 

Waipara to Waikari line. 

Chairman NeilBurt says the workload is 

mounting and the battle is on to catchup 

on abacklog of maintenance put on hold 

when volunteersbecame detachedfrom 

their‘‘toys’’ duringlockdown. 

“There is alot that happens behindthe 

scenes to operate our trains. We got put on 

pause,and we now needtocatchup,’’ he 

says. 

This meansfuture excursions, for now, 

will be down to two carriages,pulledbya 

dieselengine. 

The railway’s rolling stock manager, 

Harry Mathwin, sayscertification has 

expired on some carriages and 

locomotivesused to run its regular trains. 

“We can and will run atwocarriage 

train,and we lookforwardtoincreasing 

the sizeofthe train as carriagesare 

inspected and certified.” 

One of the railway’s 1931built carriages 

needs work on one of the bogie floats. 

Harry saysitisanawkwardjob, requiring 

volunteerstowork from an inspectionpit 

underneath the tracksinthe railway 

workshop at Waipara. 

The railway’s work wagon,used to run 

track and lineside maintenance trainson 

Wednesdays, is due for asimilarrepair. 

The wagon carries critical maintenance 

tools and has acrew rest area. Losing it 

from service is complicatingthe weekly 

track working bees. 

Recertifyingthe 1909built steam 

locomotive will be much more difficult, 

requiring thoroughinspections of many 

safetycritical components, and afinal 

signoff from athirdparty inspector from 

the North Island. Thismeans trains will 

likelyremain dieselhauledfor some time 

when full operations do resume. 

The charitable society carriesabout 

15,000passengers. 

It has been operated entirely by 

enthusiastic volunteers since 1983. 

Collectively, between 100 and 200

volunteer hours are spentonsite each 

week. “Ourvolunteers are like one big 

family,” Neil says. “We all enjoyatripout 

of the cityonce or twiceaweek to work on 

the trains. 

“We rely totally on public support to 

keep operating and volunteersare our 

backbone”. 

He urges anyone thinkingoftaking a

ECan lifts its rates take by 4pc 


Environment Canterbury is increasing its 

total rates revenue by 4percent for the year 

starting July 1. It has also adopted its 2020/21 

Annual Plan. 

The 4% rates increase is lower than the 

9.8% previously mooted in the draft plan. 

Savings have been made using cash 

reserves and reducing reserve cash buildup 

for flood protection and general 

activities. 

This could mean having to borrow to cover 

the cost of unforeseen events, such as 

floods. 

Lower inflation estimates postCovid have 

also helped reduce the increase. 

The 4% refers to the increase in the total 

amount received in rates from 2019/20. It 

includes 2.3% for inflation, an additional 

0.8% for public transport service 

improvements, and provision for spending 

on priority work programmes for the coastal 

environment plan (0.5%), climate 

engagement (0.15%) and atree planting and 

regeneration initiative (0.25%). 

Individual ratepayers pay different rates 

depending on the size and location of their 

property. 

The rates increase is equivalent to about 

$6 ayear for an urban Christchurch 

property valued at $580,000, and $22 ayear

Householders in urban properties in

district will see areduction in their rates. 

Deputy chairman Peter Scott chaired the 

council meeting, and noted the need to 

recognise the impact of Covid19 on the 

region, as agreat deal had changed between 

the time the council signed off the draft plan 

for engagement in February, and its 

adoption last week. 

‘‘We are acting decisively now to invest in 

the future, but we are also tempering the 

rate of change in some areas to 

accommodate the postCovid recovery that 

the region needs,’’ Mr Scott said. 

‘‘There has been robust debate around the 

council table over the last couple of months 

about how much we can continue to press 

forward with our longerterm initiatives, 

against taking into account the 

unprecedented postCovid economic 

climate. 

‘‘We have reached the position we have in 

large part based on the feedback we had on 

the draft plan, and more importantly during 

the hearings that we held (online) during 

the Covid period, when we heard about what 

we should continue to push with urgency, 

and what has changed externally that 

impacts the ability of the community to 

pay.’’

National promises bypass 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

The National Party has 

promised to build the Belfast 

to Pegasusmotorway, 

including the Woodend State 

Highway 1bypass, if elected 

in September. 

The party’s transport 

spokesman, Chris Bishop, and 

Waimakariri’s NationalMP 

Matt Doocey madethe 

announcement at ameeting 

in Woodend’s OwenStalker 

Park last Friday. 

The new motorway will 

begininBelfast,joining with 

the Western Belfast bypass 

and the Northern Corridor 

motorways and go through to 

Pegasus,bypassing Woodend. 

‘‘Under National,the 

bypass will be apriority,’’ Mr 

Bishop said.‘‘It is avery 

important commitmentwe 

are makingasaparty to this 

region and the people of 

Woodend in particular. 

‘‘This new roadwill help 

drivejobs and growth in 

NorthCanterbury, and help 

our economy recoverfrom 

Covid19.” 

‘‘Northern Christchurch is 

experiencingstrong growth,’’ 

he said. ‘‘The Belfast to 

Pegasus motorway is acritical 

project to support that

Woodend Community 

Association presidentMark 

Paterson, whoisalso a 

WoodendSefton Community 

Boardmemberand chairman 

of the Make StateHighway 1 

Safercommittee, said the 

commitment was agreat 

result for the community. 

‘‘TheWoodend community 

has beenwaiting 40 years for 

asolution to the town’s traffic 

problems. 

‘‘We justhope now that the 

National Partywill followup 

on their promise to build the 

bypass,ifthey become 

government, andifthey don’t 

win the election they will 

continuepushing the next 

governmenttogoaheadwith 

the project. Idon’t see it as a 

political thing. It just makes 

sensetoget it done.’’ 

Acommunity rallywas held 

in Woodend last February in 

support of the bypass afterthe 

Governmentannounced a$12 

billion infrastructure 

investment programme. 

At lastweek’s gathering,Mr 

Doocey said the projectwas 

long overdue but ‘‘today the 

people at Woodendand the 

widerWaimakariri community 

can feel listenedto’’.

Volunteers lifeblood of service 

By DAVID HILL 

Whenever there is afire, 

accident or emergency, 

volunteers are often first to 

answer the call. 

In smaller communities, 

those first responders are the 

local volunteer fire brigade. 

North Canterbury’s Fire 

and Emergency New Zealand 

(FENZ) leaders say the 

region is well served by fire 

volunteers, but some 

brigades could always do 

with more, especially those 

who can be oncall during 

weekdays. 

The Rangiora Volunteer 

Fire Brigade ran asuccessful 

recruitment drive this year 

and now has awaiting list, 

chief fire officer Hamish 

Peter says. 

‘‘That’s why we did the 

recruitment campaign. We 

are still in the early stages, 

but it’s really heartening to 

see. 

‘‘We’ve still got to go 

through police checks and 

training, but through the 

support of the media and the 

public we’ve attracted some 

very high calibre people.’’ 

FENZ North Canterbury 

principal fire officer Bruce 

Janes says most of his rural 

brigades have about 20 

volunteers, while his 

MarlboroughKaikoura 

counterpart John Foley says 

some of his brigades have 

found anovel way of ensuring 

they are covered. 

‘‘One of the issues we are 

facing is alot of our brigade 

members, if they’re working, 

it takes them away during the 

day,’’ Mr Foley says. 

‘‘Often, it’s the women 

staffing the brigades while 

the children are at school and 

covering the base until the 

men come home and there’s a 

few female chiefs appearing 

around the country now.’’ 

The training and support 

for volunteers is quite 

extensive, meaning 

employers can benefit from 

having highly skilled 

employees, Mr Peter says. 

‘‘We are not only training 

our people to be good at 

what they do, but also 

exposing them to anumber of 

things which can transfer to 

their working life and home 

life.’’ 

Employers make abig 

contribution in supporting 

the volunteers, Mr Janes says. 

‘‘Kirwee Garage has three 

volunteers, so whenever the 

alarm goes off the garage 

closes, so we have to be 

mindful of that.’’ 

Families also make a 

sacrifice whenever 

volunteers respond to acall, 

Mr Foley says. ‘‘We wish to 

thank our volunteers and 

their families. When the 

siren goes the whole family 

wakes up and not just the 

firefighter, so they all make a 

sacrifice.’’ 

Volunteer firefighters 

respond not only to fires, but 

to vehicle crashes, medical 

emergencies, hazardous

OPINION 


Building for the future 

With Matariki,the Maori New Year, to 

be celebrated thisyear on July13, it 

makes me considerthe times in which 

we live. 

In challenging and unsettling times 

like these,Iwonder if we can be 

inspired by our Maori ancestors when, 

in the bleakest of seasons, they focused 

on restoration and strengthening 

connections with one another. 

Members of our wonderful 

community team at the HurunuiDistrict 

Council have spent the pastfew weeks 

strengthening manyconnectionsvia the 

conferencing app Zoom to check in and 

understandhow theycan support and 

work collaboratively with communities 

to helpwith theirrecovery. 

The team will playacrucial 

leadership role in advocacy and 

support for businessesand 

communities. 

Each year we develop in partnership 

with our district an annualplan guided 

by the overarching longterm plan. 

This year our engagement was 

somewhat hobbled by Covid19 and the

However, Iamgratefultocommunity 

members who attended our engagement 

sessions and also to individuals who 

provided written feedback. 

We weretruly heartened by the depth 

of understandingand support, or 

positive feedback, for councillors to 

consider. 

Being able to settleonanincrease of 

3.74% and continue to provide ahigh 

level of service for core activities, as 

well as reinstate some grants, is avery 

measured result in theseuncertain 

times. 

Currently, the council is seeking 

expressions of interestfor the 2020 

CommunityService Awards,plus the 

Environmentand Heritage awards, 

with the ceremony to be hosted later in 

the year.Iask that you look aroundyour 

communities to find deserving people to 

nominate, or projects that fit the 

criteria. 

Communitymembers are alsoinvited 

to provide feedback on the council 

speed limitsbylaw and register, along 

with the Hanmer Springs design 

standards review. Both consultation 

documents are on the council website,

Iampleased to announcethe 

appointment of Hamish Dobbie to the 

role of chief executive for afurther 

term. 

Iknow that you will join me in 

congratulating him on this appointment 

and Ilook forward to workingwith 

Hamish,the staff,councillors and all 

the Hurunui community to make our 

district safer, strongerand more 

connected than before. 

Rates rise pegged to 3.74pc 

Rates will increase by an average of 

3.74 percent in the Hurunui District for 

the 20202021 financial year. 

The council has pared back its initial 

proposal of a5%increase to take into 

account the hardship resulting from 

Covid19 restrictions on residents and 

businesses. 

It will formally adopt its annual plan 

today, after approving the draft at last 

week’s meeting after considering 

community feedback. 

The council decided to use extra 

savings from external interest costs to 

lower the increase, allowing it to fund 

some awards and grants it had initially 

excluded. 

These are a$10,000 award for 

secondary school achievers, $5200 for 

the Hanmer Springs Heritage Trust 

and $40,000 for the Hurunui Trails 

Trust. 

Costsaving measures include 

$455,000 from wages, maintenance, 

consultants, grants and awards. 

Repayment of $1 million in debt has 

been deferred, along with some capital 

spending. 

Mayor Marie Black says the changes 

to the annual plan were made after 

careful consideration. 

“Councillors considered all feedback 

in good faith and reached asensible 

position,” she said. 

The final decisions, she says, reflect 

the community and the important 

work of the district’s volunteers and 

youth.

Environment Canterbury Councillor 

Efforts to reverse years 

of water degradation 

Six months ago,who would have 

guessed the situation in whichwenow 

find ourselves? 

It is pleasing to see that, despite the 

lockdown, work to improve our 

freshwater has continued. 

Threesignificantpieces of work are 

particularly relevant to Canterbury. 

The Government recently announced 

highlevelpolicy for freshwater reform. 

Whilethis provides more certainty,the 

devilwillbeinthe detail. 

Policies will be written intothe 

National Policy Statement for 

Freshwater management (NPSFW), 

therewill be directives in the National 

Environmental Standards (NES),and 

therewill be several changes to the 

Resource Management Act (RMA). 

EnvironmentCanterbury believesthe 

region is well placedinseveral policy 

areas. 

Our plans must be consistentwith the 

NPSFW, so any gapsidentifiedwill 

require aplan change. 

The NES and RMA will have statutory 

force. 

SignificantNES provisionswhich are 

more stringent than currently required 

in Canterbury relatetowinter grazing 

consent thresholds,mandatory farm 

plansonpastoral or arable properties 

larger than 20 ha, and anitrogen cap of 

190/kgs/ha of syntheticnitrogen for 

pastoral farms. 

Many Canterbury farmers are already 

well placed to meet thestock exclusion 

policy. The council continues to focus on 

compliance with plansand consents. 

Achieving the more stringentNPSFW 

nitrogen toxicity bottom line of 2.4mg/l 

nitrogen will be challenginginsome of 

our lowland waterways. 

More scientific research is needed 

and we know that historicnitrogen will 

continuetoappear for many decades. 

Budget 2020 has seeninvestment of 

more than $700million to support the 

primary sectorand create employment 

with ontheground actionstoimprove 

freshwater outcomes.Thereare many 

opportunitiestoshare in thisand make 

environmental gains. 

Winter grazing of livestock on fodder 

cropsisacommon practice in 

Canterbury, and the potential for 

Eyes to the future ... Environment 

Canterbury believes the region is well 

placed in several policy areas as the 

government makes changes around fresh 

water, environmental standards and 

resource management.

adverseimpactsonfreshwater, soils and 

animal welfare is increased in bad 

weather. 

Industry groups havebeen proactive 

in educating and supporting farmers on 

best practice in this area. Environment 

Canterbury has worked with industry 

groups and,wherenecessary, will carry 

out compliance action. 

Recently,Bill Bayfield, our chief 

executive for nineyears, left to takeup 

the role of chief executive of the new 

drinkingwater regulator,Taumata 

Arowai. This is the first in apackageof 

governmentreforms to the regulatory 

system whichwill be extended to 

improve performance of wastewater 

and stormwater. 

The governmenthas committedto 

infrastructure upgrades thatprovide 

employment, safedrinking water and 

improvedfreshwater outcomes, 

particularly for our urban streams. 

No matter where we live, work or play, 

our activitieshave an impact on fresh 

water. It will takeall of us working 

together to turn around decadesof 

degradation and restorethe mauri(vital 

essence)ofour freshwater.

Landfill cell construction nears completion 

It has taken more than 18 

months, teams of 12 and a 

100tonne crane to build 

the latest cell in the Kate 

Valley Landfill. 

The cell will provide 

sufficient space at the 

Transwaste Canterbury 

Ltd owned landfill for 12 

to 18 months of waste. 

Transwaste chairman 

Gill Cox says cells are 

developed only as they 

are needed to ensure time 

and money is not spent 

creating storage before it 

is required. 

‘‘That approach has 

worked perfectly for the 

past 15 years, even with 

the extra demands of the 

earthquakes and the 

Covid19 crisis,’’ he says. 

Mr Cox says Transwaste 

has to be prepared for all 

situations so waste can be 

disposed of quickly and 

safely. 

The Kate Valley 

Landfill was consented in 

March 2004 and opened to 

receive the first delivery 

of waste 15 years ago, in 

June 2005. 

The development of the 

landfill, along with the 

general location and 

phasing of the cells, was 

planned from the day the 

facility was consented. 

Groundwork for the 

cells, including 

excavating soil and rocks, 

can be significant as 

Transwaste aims to 

achieve the maximum 

Carefully engineered ... The creation of each cell requires 

detailed engineering input. 

holding capacity for 

waste with the minimal 

amount of earthworks, Mr 

Cox says. 

‘‘We make the best use 

possible of all the 

materials stripped out to 

prepare the cell for 

receiving waste.’’ 

Topsoil is stockpiled to 

use on the final landfill 

surface, which is grassed. 

Hard rock is stored on 

site to line drains and for 

other structures. Other 

excavated soils are 

generally used to 

construct what are 

referred to as engineered 

fills that form the 

foundations of all cell 

development. 

‘‘Balancing the volumes 

of excavated soil to match 

the requirements of the 

engineered fills around 

the landfill is important 

to reduce costs and 

increase efficiencies,’’ Mr 

Cox says. 

Once the foundation 

work is completed, the 

crane, which reaches an 

astonishing 82 metres, is 

used to lay the liners, 

including a1mm highdensity 

polyethylene 

(HDPE) liner, ageosynthetic 

clay liner and a 

second HDPE liner. 

Then a500mm 

permeable gravel layer is 

laid to enable drainage of 

leachate (liquid from 

decomposing waste), 

and to protect the liner 

Careful planning ... The liner being laid in the next area of the Kate Valley Landfill being 

prepared to take the region’s waste.

from damage caused by 

sharp objects in the 

waste. 

Once the cell is filled, 

depending upon its size 

and location, it might be 

temporarily covered, so 

more waste can be added 

to it later, or capped and 

grassed. 

Once this new cell 

starts receiving waste, 

work usually gets under 

way preparing the next 

cell.

Documentary to screen 

Adocumentary celebrating New 

Zealand’s Arts on Tour programme will 

be screened at the Rangiora Town Hall 

Cinemas this weekend. 

The film, Central to the Soul,was 

picked up by the theatre’s director, 

Jeremy Stewart, after a 

recommendation by Ohoka music lover 

Christopher Marshall, who received a 

Queen’s Service Medal this month for 

his services to music. 

The 58minute film, which was 

released last year and screened at 

Christchurch’s Lumiere Cinema in 

October, is an intimate look at how Arts 

on Tour, which delivers live music, 

theatre and comedy to New Zealand’s 

small towns, has influenced the lives of 

people in rural Central Otago and the 

Queenstown Lakes District. 

The film will screen in Rangiora this 

Saturday from 4.45pm and on Sunday 

from 5pm. Tickets are available at the 

theatre.

By DAVID HILL 

The Waimakariri District Council has 

signed off on its latest annual plan, 

confirming an average rates rise of 

1.5 percent. 

The 2020/21 annual plan was approved 

at acouncil meeting on Tuesday last 

week, with councillors joining with chief 

executive Jim Palmer in praising staff 

for their efforts in completing the 

document two weeks ahead of the June 

30 deadline, amid the pressures of 

Covid19. 

‘‘This is areport that brings together 

nearly 12 months worth of work,’’ Mr 

Palmer said. 

‘‘We were taking submissions and 

forming aview and then we had Covid 

19. But, given the timing, it was good that 

we had the engagement under way 

before the lockdown and we were able to 

extend the timeframe and take a 

considered position.’’ 

Mr Palmer noted other councils had 

signalled they would not meet the June 

30 deadline as they struggled with the 

implications of Covid19. 

Mayor Dan Gordon said the council 

had taken ‘‘a pragmatic approach’’ in 

keeping the average rates rise down to 

1.5%, through rates smoothing and 

deferring some capital works projects to 

next year’s 2021/31 Long Term Plan 

(LTP). 

‘‘I’m pleased we didn’t indicate we 

would get to zero percent because 

there’s implications if you do that, as 

other councils are finding out.’’ 

But Mr Gordon said the real work 

would begin as the council moved on to 

the LTP. 

Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson said 

delaying projects was not ideal. 

‘‘Next year will be the time to sort 

things out and decide what we are going 

to do and when we are going to do it, but 

we need to make sure that it’s realistic.’’ 

Cr Kirstyn Barnett noted the inflation 

pressure the council worked with was 

estimated at more than 2%, making a 

1.5% rates rise agood result. 

‘‘This is awaitandsee budget, 

because we don’t know how Covid19 is 

going to impact on New Zealand and 

globally, and we don’t know what 

support there is going to be available 

from government, so we need to be 

agile.’’ 

Cr Philip Redmond described the 

annual plan as a‘‘balanced’’ budget, but 

he regarded 2021/22 with ‘‘some 

trepidation’’. 

Cr Joan Ward said there was ‘‘a big 

opportunity’’ with the recovery, as there 

were several major projects in the 

pipeline where the council could assist 

in protecting local jobs. 

Cr Paul Williams was the only 

councillor who voted against the annual 

plan. 

‘‘I don’t think we did enough out of 

gaining more efficiencies. Rates 

smoothing, which we have done, affects 

the following years. But we do have an 

advantage with the LTP coming up.’’

VOLUNTEERS WEEK, JUNE 2127 


It’sabout friendship and fun 

Mandy and her volunteer Olivia have 

been friends for six months. They 

thoroughly enjoy meeting and live 

close to each other. 

The pair often go out for breakfast at 

the weekend, go shopping and enjoy a 

coffee. During the week they often go 

for walks. 

During the lockdown, Olivia phoned 

Mandy regularly. She dropped off a 

box of goodies, including chocolates, 

at the front door and put up amessage 

with aheart on the front window of 

Mandy’s house so she could see Olivia 

was thinking of her and looking 

forward to seeing her again soon. 

IHC Volunteering North Canterbury 

is looking for more volunteers like 

Olivia to share experiences, 

friendship and fun. Volunteers can 

make ahuge difference to an adult 

with an intellectual disability, and the 

volunteer can also grow from the 

experience. 

To enquire, email diana.

The quiz that was ... Last year’s inaugural Rangiora High School Leos Club quiz night 

proved to be asuccess. 

PHOTO: KIRSTYN BARNETT 

It’snot aquiz night 

Rangiora’s young Lions are doing their 

bit to support the community, despite 

their quiz night being called off. 

The Rangiora High School Leos Club 

cancelled their planned quiz night on 

June 22 because of uncertainty around 

the Covid-19 lockdown, but realised 

there was still aneed. 

‘‘We’re trying to do something new. We 

were going to have aquiz night, but we 

have a‘Not aQuiz Night’ fundraiser,’’ 

Leos quiz leader Becca Barnett says. 

‘‘We decided to cancel because we 

didn’t know what was going to happen 

and when we came out of lockdown we 

found we didn’t have enough time to 

plan it. We didn’t want to do it any later 

because it gets into exams.’’ 

While the Leos plan to run another 

quiz night next year, Satisfy Food 

Rescue needs the support now, Becca 

says. ‘‘So we have set up aGivealittle 

page and we are asking people to donate 

what they would have spent on the night 

and we will pass it on to Satisfy Food 

Rescue.’’ 

Last year’s quiz night raised $3000 for 

Big Brothers Big Sisters of North 

Canterbury. Becca says it is hoped the 

total can be matched with the ‘‘Not a 

Quiz Night’’ appeal. ‘‘It was absolutely 

amazing. We were quite shocked. 

‘‘We’re aiming for $3000 again, but 

whatever we get will be very helpful.’’ 

The Rangiora High School Leos Club 

has nine active members and aims to 

support community events throughout 

the year, including helping the Rangiora 

Lions beach rubbish pickup from 

Pegasus to Woodend last year.

Satisfaction from 

doing some good 

When Don Lyon walked through the 

doors of Kaiapoi Community Support 13 

years ago, little did he know that he and 

his wife, Athalie, would become two of 

the centre’s longestserving volunteers. 

‘‘We’d just moved to Kaiapoi from 

Dunedin to begin our retirement,’’ Don 

says. ‘‘I went into KCS to find out more 

about local services and came out having 

signed up to be avolunteer driver,’’ he 

chuckles. Athalie soon joined Don, 

volunteering on reception and in the 

centre’s food bank. 

‘‘The food bank is abig part of what we 

do,’’ says Athalie, who also volunteers 

alongside Don with Meals on Wheels. 

‘‘We’re all handson restocking 

shelves, making up food parcels,’’ 

Athalie says. ‘‘It takes alot of courage to 

come in and ask for afood parcel. It’s not 

uncommon for someone to hug you, with 

tears in their eyes and say thank you. It’s 

very satisfying to feel like I’m doing 

some good. Ithink it’s safe to say that 

most of our volunteers feel that way.’’ 

Don, aformer engineer with the 

Ministry of Works, drives people to 

medical appointments and to pick up 

shopping. Alot of people have noone to 

help them as they get older, Don says. ‘‘I 

enjoy helping them get around. But it’s 

also about connection, chatting with 

people.’’ 

Athalie says it helps to be agood 

listener. ‘‘Listening, acup of tea and a 

hug can do alot to help someone who’s 

going through abad patch.’’ 

Athalie and Don are members of a30 

strong volunteer workforce with KCS, 

which is one of the services provided by 

the Community Wellbeing North 

Canterbury Trust. 

‘‘We couldn’t do half of what we do 

without our volunteers,’’ KCS coordinator 

Louise Griffiths says. 

‘‘We receive no government funding 

for our food bank or any of the other 

services we offer. It’s all down to 

fundraising, community donations and 

the loyalty and dedication of our 

volunteers. 

‘‘Volunteering isn’t for everyone but if 

it fits with your lifestyle it can be 

Many yearsofservice ... Don Lyon and his 

wife,Athalie, findvolunteeringwith Kaiapoi 

Community Support to be rewarding. 


tremendously rewarding,’’ Louise says. 

‘‘We’ve got volunteers who are retirees 

but it can also suit parents whose 

children have started school. 

Volunteering can also help you gain 

skills and experience for the job market, 

if that’s of interest to you.’’ 

Keeping busy makes life better, 

Athalie adds. 

‘‘It sounds like acliche, but that’s what 

I’ve found. I’m not someone to sit at 

home reading abook all day. Ilike to get 

out and do something in the community. 

‘‘Volunteering has put me in touch 

with what’s going on in our community 

and how people are doing,’’ says Athalie. 

‘‘The heartbreak some people go 

through; it’s been areal eyeopener to 

me.’’

Rats and hawks take toll on birds 


Ratsand hawks are the 

biggest killers of blackfronted 

terns and blackbilled 

gullchicksonthe Ashley 

River. 

The AshleyRakahuri 

Rivercaregroup studiedthe 

causes of deaths over the past 

summer. 

The group’s investigations 

determinedatleast 106 gull 

chicks were killed by Norway 

rats, and just under 100 young 

birds were takenbyharrier 

hawks. 

Stoats account for only a 

few losses,while feralcats 

and hedgehogs were not a 

problem as the birdswere on 

an island with good 

surrounding flows of water. 

Group member Grant Davey 

said, at its peak, there were 

more than100 ternsand 4000 

gulls —the biggest numbers 

since the group was formed in 

1999 —present in the river. 

It wasn’t difficult to find 

dead birds, whichwere 

mainly just feathers and 

bones. 

Despite anetworkof 

surrounding traps, Norway 

rats are alsothought to have 

taken the eggs frommore than 

half the ternnests, and 

probablyeaten several small 

chicks. 

Another source of bird 

deaths were nearby 

powerlines, which crossed the 

river not far abovethe colony. 

Twenty dead gulls were 

found dead under the wires, 

Predator losses ... Ajuvenile blackbilled gull inspects the remains of another young bird killed by 

Norway rats. 

PHOTO:GRANT DAVEY 

and one can only guess at how 

many others were injured, or 

takenaway by predators 

before they could be counted 

by groupmembers. 

Also found dead under 

powerlineswere two Royal 

spoonbills.“Thesebirds are 

not often seen up the river,” 

Mr Davey says, “so it was a 

great pitytosee them 

succumbinthis way.” 

No terns were located, 

probably becausethey fly 

lower and slower. 

Two dead pied stilts were 

found under the lines, and it 

is suspected that some 

wrybills are similarly killed, 

as they fly fast and higher, and 

quite oftenatnight. 

The groupintends to 

increase its predator control 

around colonies duringthe 

nextbreeding season, and to 

inspect under powerlines on a 

moreregularbasis.

Rosier look to 

jobless figures 

By DAVID HILL 

Waimakariri’s unemployment figures 

are not as bad as thought. 

Thereappears to be some confusion 

over jobseeker benefitstatistics in North 

Canterbury. Figures quoted in the North 

CanterburyNews on June 4, and also 

referenced in areport to the 

Waimakariri District Council’s June 2 

meeting, indicated Waimakariri 

residents on ajobseeker benefit had 

risenfrom 557 at the end of Marchto 

more than1200 in May. 

But figures recently released by the 

Ministry of Social Development(MSD) to 

end of May show the number for 

Waimakariri was 857, up 10 from the 847 

to the end of April. 

Rangiora service centremanagerTina 

Robinson suggests the confusion may 

have arisen from the fact the figure of 

1200 was for North Canterburyasa 

whole, including Hurunui and Kaikoura. 

She alsonotes there is avariation in the 

numbers throughout the month,with the 

officialfigures giving the totalsatthe 

month’s end. 

The numberofresidents on a 

jobseeker benefit to the end of May in 

Hurunui was 174 (up from 99 in March) 

and in Kaikoura was 66 (up from 29 in 

March). 

This gives atotal for NorthCanterbury 

to the end of May of 1097,which was 

more than double the figure of 498 to the 

end of May last year. 

The proportion of 18 to 64yearolds in 

the Canterburyregion receiving 

jobseeker support to the end of Maywas 

5percent, which is up 1.7% on May last 

year,and is thesecondlowest in the 

country.

Kaiapoi'shistory chronicled 


KaiapoiTuahiwi Community Board 

deputy chairwoman Jackie Watson has 

written and published anew book 

about Kaiapoi’s history. 

AShort History of Kaiapoi is an 

extended version of the commentary 

Jackie wrote for passengers cruising 

aboard the Kaiapoi River Queen and 

was the idea of one of the boat’s owners, 

Kaiapoi developer Jedd Pearce. 

Judith and Dennis Andressand lease 

the Kaiapoi River Queen from Jedd and 

her other owners, Tim Smith, Nick 

Harris, Geoff Mehrtens and Mark 

Revis. 

The pair organise sailing trips along 

the Kaiapoi River. 

Profits from the sales of Jackie’s book 

will go to All Together Kaiapoi’s 

Sculpture Fund to commission apiece 

for aproposed Kaiapoi Sculpture Park 

on redzoned land near the river. 

The area east of the Coast Guard 

North Canterbury building, to the end 

of Charles St between the stop bank and 

the street, is one area being considered 

for the park. 

‘‘It is apleasant area of trees and 

grass that would serve well as a 

sculpture park. 

‘‘Kaiapoi has afascinating history as 

both as an important centre for pre 

European Maori and the early settlers 

who arrived in the early 1800s,’’ Jackie 

says. 

The book has chapters ranging from 

preEuropean times to the various 

industries that made amark on 

Kaiapoi

River Queen. 

New playground a 

community effort 

Ahuge community effort from parents, 

contractors and businesses has helped 

build anew playground area at the 

Hanmer Springs School. 

The design and planning took about 

ayear, with aconcept plan, and living 

willow hut, drawn up by Emma from 

Woodland Escapes. 

This signalled the start of many 

other local Hurunui contractors, 

builders and businesses getting 

involved in the project to create an 

area with acreek, rocks, sandpit, 

tunnel and slide. 

Native plants, seats, pathways and a 

bridge add interest. 

Home and School helped fundraise 

for the project, which was interrupted 

by Covid19 lockdown restrictions. 

Finishing touches will now be left 

until spring. 

Deputy principal Michelle Saric 

says all the students love the 

playground. 

‘‘It has provided many happy hours 

of play. It is afantastic asset which has 

enhanced our school grounds. 

‘‘It has been ahuge project with lots 

of generous support from local 

contractors. 

‘‘So much was donated to us —in 

both labour, parts and equipment, 

which we really appreciate, as it has 

allowed us to do more with the money 

which was raised by Home and 

School,’’ Ms Saric says.

Work to finish this year 

Work to restore Kaikoura’s roading 

network is on track to be completed by 

the end of the year. 

The work to make transport networks 

around Kaikoura safer and more 

resilient after the 2016 earthquake is 

due to be completed on December 15, 

three years after State Highway 1was 

reopened. 

The New Zealand Transport Agency 

and KiwiRail established the North 

Canterbury Transport Infrastructure 

Recovery (NCTIR) alliance with four 

construction partners to undertake the 

recovery of the transport networks. 

The alliance has been working in 

Kaikoura since December 2016. 

In 2017, it reopened vital transport 

links, with the main north line opening 

in September and SH1 in December. 

Since then, the team has been working 

to strengthen them for future 

generations. 

Members have worked more than six 

million hours, with the final series of 

jobs now under way.

Agood base crucial 

to life of farm tracks 

Agood farmtrack is constructed in 

layers, DairyNZsays. 

Whencreating anew farm track, 

farmers are advised to form agood 

foundation or base layer, with asurface 

or wearing layerplaced on top. 

The baselayer provides the structural 

supportfor the surfacelayer.Ifitisweak, 

the surfacelayermay break up and 

collapse. 

If water can penetrate into the base 

layer, it may loseits strength and develop 

potholes. 

The surfacelayer has two functions,to 

provide acomfortable surfacefor cowsto 

walkonand to shed water to protectthe 

structural integrity of the track. 

Eachlayershould be thoroughly 

mechanically compacted usingvibrating 

rollers. Loose, open layers have much 

lessstrength thanwellconsolidated 

ones. 

Cow traffic does not providean 

adequate substitute for mechanical 

compaction. 

Topsoil and grass are not suitable for 

use in the base layer and should be 

removed before construction begins. 

The baseshouldbemade up of layers, 

eachupto150mm deep. 

After each150mm layer is laid, it 

should be firmly compacted before the 

nextisadded. 

Whenselecting materials, farmers 

should consider whether the moist subsurfacesoil 

is asuitable material. 

The material dug out to make effluent 

ponds or removed fromthe table drains 

may be used, provided it is not topsoil. 

Gravels, pit metal or rotten rock should 

be used,but not river gravel, while soft 

clayisunsuitable for use in foundations 

unless stabilisedwith othermaterials. 

❛Ifwatercan penetrate into 

the base layer, it maylose its 

strength and develop 

potholes.❜ 

—Dairy NZ 

Hydratedlime, evenly spreadand 

uniformly incorporated to adepthof 

125mm, will allow softclays to become 

stable once compacted. 

Cement can be used as astabiliser in 

base layers. The usual recommendation 

is 1% to 4% of the total. 

If the material available does not 

create asatisfactory foundation, it is 

possible to use ageotextile —an 

industrial fabric used in earthworks, to 

cover the shaped base layer before 

adding the surface layer. 

Geotextiles allow water to pass 

through,but they holdsoil and rock in 

place and will prevent the surfacelayer 

from being pushed into the foundation 

layer, particularly by heavy traffic. 

The creationofasatisfactorytrack 

surface requirescompaction into ahard, 

smooth, wearresistant layer, with a 

minimum of particles that can cut or 

bruise feet. It should be 100mmto150mm 

deep. 

Topsoil and grass can provide asoft 

cushioned surfacefor cows to walk on, 

but are unable to withstandthe rigours of 

frequentuse. 

The surfacelayer is usually made from 

amixture of fine materials,such as sand, 

pumice, limestone, sandstone, 

woodchips, smallstones, and clay.

Pick the right plants 

Farm maintenance lists should include 

some planting, DairyNZ says. 

Providing shelter for stock from the 

weather is one of the most important 

forms of planting on farms. 

Grazing livestock are generally well 

adapted to the New Zealand climate, but 

there are times in the production cycle 

when even wellfed animals are 

vulnerable to cold, wet and windy 

weather. 

Carefully designed shelter plantings 

have the potential to provide many 

benefits to farms. 

These include improving livestock 

welfare and productivity, young stock 

survival and growth, increasing pasture 

productivity, improving irrigation 

efficiency, reducing wind erosion of 

topsoil, providing habitat for wildlife 

and creating amore diverse, pleasant 

environment. 

All animals want to be thermally 

comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold. 

Newborn calves are highly vulnerable 

while still wet and unsuckled because 

they have no internal resources. 

Heavily pregnant animals and shorn 

sheep can also rapidly become stressed 

if temperatures fall below critical limits. 

Shelter trees reduce wind speed and 

alleviate wind chill. Trees can also 

provide protection from rain and snow. 

Newborn calves can only survive for a 

short time in normal New Zealand 

conditions unless they are dried and 

suckled by their mothers. By reducing 

wind chill, shelter buys more time for 

newborn livestock to be mothered up. 

Dense shelter can reduce wind speed 

by up to 90 percent, resulting in abig 

difference in the temperature felt. 

But many trees available and sold in 

New Zealand can be harmful to 

companion animals and livestock, 

DairyNZ warns. 

Before planting, make sure the right 

trees are selected. Check with your vet 

for advice. 

Good site preparation is essential 

before beginning any tree planting. 

Livestock must be fenced out. Dairy 

farmers using electric fencing can keep 

belts narrow and lift the bottom wire of 

the fence once the trees are established 

to allow grazing underneath. 

Preplanting spraying of existing 

vegetation makes establishment easier. 

Make sure trees are wellplanted. Use 

individual shelters if pests such as 

rabbits are athreat. Maintenance can 

include release spraying and replacing 

dead trees, which can be required for 

several years.

Monitoring of 

grain is wise 

Farmers are advisedtomonitor grain 

regularly during storage. 

Aregularmonitoringand recording 

system, perhaps monthly, enables any 

changes in the temperature or moisture 

content of grain to be identified before a 

majorproblem develops. Appropriate 

action can then be taken, theFoundation 

for Arable Research says. 

Insect and pest populations and their 

damage are likely to be lessobvious in 

the early stages of storage, becoming 

more prevalentlater. 

It suggests farmersinspectstoresin 

the late afternoon, when insects are 

more active.Insects will accumulate 

near or on the grain surface. 

Temperatures in the storagefacility 

should be monitored, as anythingabove 

21degislikelytofavour insect activity 

and above 27deg will almostcertainly 

have active insects. 

This monitoring can be done through 

the useofatemperature probe.Sample 

at the same points each time, at the 

centre and the sidesofthe silo, just 

belowthe surface of the grain. 

Monitoring grainmoisture is another 

way to detect pests. An increase suggests 

insect activity or fungalgrowth. If 

temperature or moisturelevels increase, 

aerate it withcool,dry air. 

In asituation where there is an 

increaseintemperature and moisture, 

but no visible insects,there is a 

likelihood of mite or fungal infestation.

Kaikoura farmershavethrowntheir

The Murray family of Matariki

Prices hold up despite challenges 

By DIANNA MALCOLM, of MudMedia 

The takehome message from last week’s 

Te Mania Angus annual bull sale at 

Parnassus was its solid average. 

Te Mania, owned by the Wilding 

family, covers 1300 hectares about 32km 

south of the Kaikoura Peninsula, on the 

Conway Flat. 

It is the industry price barometer 

among an ongoing nationwide calendar 

of nearly 80 bull sales under way 

throughout the country. 

Last year, Te Mania was the South 

Island’s top grossing bull sale, tabling 

more than $1.4 million at the fall of the 

final hammer. 

This year’s challenges have included 

the Covid19 lockdown, drought in the 

North Island, and the reality that Te 

Mania was offering 10 more bulls. 

The family had braced for the June 17 

sale prices to be 1020 percent softer. 

While the top price was down $9000 to 

$47,000 (from last year’s high of $56,000), 

the sale average was tellingly only $904 

shy of 2019. 

The sale averaged $10,056 for agross 

take of more than $1.3 million in front of 

atypically big crowd of beef producers 

from throughout the country. 

In all, 132 of the 142 head offered sold 

(with an extra four bulls sold privately in 

the paddock afterwards). 

The top price of $47,000 was paid by 

Tangihau Angus (Gisborne) for Lot 40, 

Te Mania 18450. 

The secondtop price of $40,000 was 

paid for lot 101, Te Mania 18449, by 

Umbrella Range Angus, from Waikaia in 

Southland. 

Jeremy Gunton, of Umbrella Range, 

said he loved the bull’s performance 

figures, pedigree and muscling. ‘‘He was 

the bull we came for,’’ Jeremy said. 

Umbrella Range was fresh off its own 

annual sale on May 25, which averaged 

Top dollar ... 

The top price 

was $47,000 

for Lot 40, Te 

Mania 18450. 

He was bought 

by Gisbornebased 

Tangihau 

Angus.

MUDMEDIA 

$10,186 for 24 bulls, including two 

carrying Te Mania bloodlines. 

One of the volume buyers, Ian Russell, 

from Northland, bought three head for 

an average of $5600. He was moving 

through the country in search of 20 bulls. 

He said the drawcard for Te Mania 

was that the bulls were commercially 

farmed, knew how to work, and weren’t 

too soft. 

Te Mania studmaster Will Wilding 

said, given the season, the stud was 

extremely happy with the result.

Goal time ... Rangiora Division 1women’s player Macy Neale, right, on her way to 

scoring the winning goal. 


Rangiora Division 3 

men off to good start 

HOCKEY 

For the first time in many years, 

Rangiora’s Division 3men’s hockey team 

has claimed backtoback wins to start a 

season undefeated. 

Two early goals against University 

Barbarians last Sunday set the side up 

for acomfortable 42 victory at 

MainPower turf. 

Both Rangiora Division 1teams 

started their campaigns over the 

weekend, with the women scoring early 

thanks to Macy Neale. The team was 

then able to hold on to that slim 

advantage for the rest of the game. 

Meanwhile, the Rangiora Division 1 

men were resolute against askilled 

Southern United team but couldn’t take 

their chances, eventually losing 20. 

The Rangiora Hurunui Midweek 

women’s team also lost 20 to its 

Southern United counterparts to kick off 

their season. 

In the first home derby of the season, 

Rangiora Allsorts Mid Week men took on 

local rivals HinemoaKaiapoi Kauri in 

an entertaining fixture where both 

teams had several chances to claim the 

match, but in the end Rangiora’s 

stronger defence earned the side a21 

victory. 

In the Platinum grade, both Rangiora’s 

women’s teams had comfortable wins 

over their opponents. However, the boys’ 

Ateam suffered its second defeat of the 

season. 

Kwik Sticks grade starts this weekend, 

with Rangiora fielding two girls and two 

boys teams in the grades, with games 

played at MainPower turf in Rangiora 

every Saturday.

From Page 30 

As always, Te Maniatransformed its sale 

into an event.Everyone was excited to exit 

lockdown, and they cameready to mingle. 

‘‘We justreally thankeveryone for 

coming, and especially our buyers,’’ Will 

said.‘‘We had eight studtransfers, so we 

were really happywith that.’’ 

Will said the family’s presale pick for 

the saletopper swungbetween the two 

toppriced bulls. 

The data on Lot 40 (top price)showed 

that he was perfectlybalanced and hard to 

faultphenotypically, he said. 

‘‘He is just areally easygoing, and wellputtogether 

bull.’’ 

Will said he was alsopleased to notethat 

buyers appeared to be taking intoaccount 

the data displayed on each bull. 

‘‘We’ve always believed in it, but it’s 

greatthat our clients are also putting their 

buying faith in it.’’ 

Within Te Mania’s total was its annual 

nod to charity. The proceeds from lot 99A 

($14,000) was shared between St John at 

Cheviot,and theCheviot Home and 

School. 

It was welcome news for the school, after 

its decision to cancel theParnassus

Defending champions step up 

By LINDSAY KERR and 

PETER WILLIAMS 

It was business as usual for 

defending champions 

GlenmarkCheviot when it 

started the 2020 North 

Canterbury rugby campaign 

on Saturday with adecisive 

4521 win against Oxford. 

The eagerly anticipated 

start to the season resulted in 

wins for all visiting sides, 

with Saracens, Hurunui and 

Kaiapoi also picking up 

victories. 

So often atitle contender, 

the game started badly for 

Oxford when the kickoff did 

not go the required distance 

and the side was immediately 

on the back foot. 

GlenmarkCheviot duly 

took control and within five 

minutes the scene was set 

when Alex Robson scored. 

Oxford then struck back 

and showed it had the 

ammunition, particularly in 

the forwards, to compete 

against its fancied rivals. 

Dan Brooker scored after a 

maul carried him over the 

line and the scores were 

locked at seven apiece. 

However, it was the 

accurate boot of Brook 

Retallick that quickly began 

to dictate the direction of the 

game. 

From defensive positions 

he was able to quickly turn 

the tide into an attacking one 

for his side. 

His accurate goal kicking 

was also afactor. 

Before halftime, the wellorganised 

visitors ran in 

three more converted tries, 

along with apenalty. to lead 

247 at halftime. 

Oxford looked abetter unit 

in the second half, but it was 

GlenmarkCheviot that 

scored first after agaping 

hole was found on the blind.

Oxford was next to score, 

having kept Glenmark 

scoreless for 15 minutes. This 

came from adefence 

situation, when Nick Inch 

seized an intercept 55m out. 

GlenmarkCheviot scored 

two more tries, with Oxford 

adding some respectability 

with its third try when fulltime 

beckoned. 

Along with Retallick,

Keane also made abig 

contribution to his side’s 

effort. 

He often ran on angles and 

was able to pierce gaps in the 

Oxford defence.

Hardfought win 

Saracens won the 

Rakahura Shield with ahardearned 

2218 win over Ashley. 

Ashley scored two tries to 

one, but the boot of Ricky 

Allin kept Saracens in the 

lead for the duration. 

Ashley had the better of the 

final exchanges and earned a 

deserved bonus point when 

the side scored its second try 

on fulltime. 

Brent Hancox, playing out 

of position on the side of the 

scrum, was Saracens’ player 

of the day, while front rower 

Josh Duckworth was Ashley’s.

Hurunui stormed into its 

season with anine try 5312 

rampage against Woodend. 

It took Woodend 10 minutes 

before it got ahand on the

Hurunui’s charge as the side 

went to a360 lead at halftime. 

Woodend got into the game 

in the second half, scoring 

two tries.

Big Kaiapoi win 

Kaiapoi and Ohoka 

ushered in the postCovid 

rugby season with an 

entertaining game. Kaiapoi 

won the clash 4817. 

Kaiapoi dominated the 

opening stanzas and was 

rewarded with atry to 

captain Jacob Hurring after 

10 minutes. 

Ohoka bounced back and 

made the most of the running 

for the next 20 minutes, with 

asole penalty goal kicked by 

Patrick McCallum to show for 

the side’s endeavours. 

In the last five minutes of 

the half Kaiapoi took the 

game by the throat, with 

Kimeon Reade and the 

mercurial Dante Love both 

touching down to take 

Kaiapoi’s halftime lead out 

to 193. 

The first of two tries to Rob 

Samson stretched the side’s 

lead further straight after

Anderson 77. Bronze A: LSteele 76, L 

Scott 79, WMehrtens 79. Bronze B: 

halftime, but Ohoka then 

embarked on its best form of 

the match. 

Its lineout was working 

particularly well, and put 

Kaiapoi under pressure. 

Illdiscipline, which cost 

Kaiapoi dearly last season, 

started to reappear. 

When it was penalised hard 

on defence, several players 

started questioning the 

referee and Ohoka’s Ryan 

McCallum, sensing Kaiapoi 

was momentarily 

disorganised, took aquick tap 

and atry resulted. 

Afew minutes later Max 

Lines repeated the dose and, 

with Patrick McCallum 

converting both tries for 

Ohoka, Kaiapoi’s lead had 

been pruned to just nine 

points. 

To Kaiapoi’s credit it 

immediately applied the 

blowtorch, with Love, Reade 

and Samson all scoring their 

second tries of the match, 

with apenalty try being 

thrown in for good measure. 

The Kaiapoi backs turned 

on ascintillating display. 

Without doubt Dante Love 

was the star of the show, 

cutting through almost at will 

especially in the final 

quarter. 

Ryan Clark tackled his 

heart out and excelled up 

front for Kaiapoi. 

Two players new to the 

team this year excelled for 

Ohoka. 

Prop Bernie Ryan toiled 

and his accurate lineout 

throwing helped his jumpers 

immensely, while No. 10 

Patrick McCallum, returning 

to the club for which he 

played all his junior rugby, 

showed he will be abig asset. 

He directed play expertly 

from the pivot position and 

his goalkicking will be an 

added bonus.

Youth groups rebound 

By DAVID HILL 

Waimakariri’s youth are back 

in action. With manyevents 

cancelledbecause of the 

Covid19 lockdown, the 

WaiYouth events group is 

keen to get some local 

activitieshappening. 

‘‘We havekicked into gear 

with WaiYouth meetings. We 

had alot of ideas before the 

lockdown, but we’ve lost a 

couple of months so we’re 

keen to get things happening,’’ 

WaimakaririDistrict 

Council youth development 

facilitator SamRedmansays. 

The first event will be a 

‘‘silent rave’’ in the Rangiora 

Town Hall on July 18, with 

tickets now on sale. 

The popular ‘‘all night 

party’’ has beenpostponed 

untilSeptember, while the 

‘‘centrestage’’teen talent 

competition will be held in 

October.Activities to support 

youngpeople sitting exams 

will be planned in November 

in partnershipwith 

Waimakariri Libraries. 

A‘‘silent rave’’ is adance 

partywhere participants are 

provided withhead sets 

connectedtoasound system, 

Sam says. 

‘‘Everybody has fun, but it’s 

mostly silent because 

everyone has the music in 

theirheadphones. It’sabit of 

anovelty, because not 

everyone has experienced it 

before, but it’saninteresting 

idea because you can decide 

whether you want to listento 

the music and you can control 

the volume.’’ 

To speedthe planning 

process, WaiYouth has split 

intotwo groups, one group 

planning the ‘‘silent rave’’and 

the other startingwork on an 

‘‘all night party’’. 

The WaimakaririYouth 

Council continued to meetvia 

conferencingapp Zoom 

during the lockdown. It will 

holdits first facetoface 

meeting on Tuesday, Sam 

says. 

‘‘The video meetings were 

novel to begin with,but aftera 

couple of weeks everyone was 

overitand wanted to get back 

to that human interaction.’’ 

It will also be achancefor 

fivenew recruits, including 

Sam Redman 

... ‘‘We had a 

lot of ideas 

before the 

lockdown, but 

we’velost a 

couple of 

months so 

we’rekeen to 

get things 

happening.’’

Export time ... ARutbuster being loaded into acontainer by 

Rangiora Transport for shipping from Lyttelton to Melbourne, 

Australia. 


Rutbuster fills 

in irrigator ruts 

Talk to afarmer about his 

centrepivot irrigator and you 

will inevitably find yourself 

talking about the problems 

caused by wheel tracks or 

ruts, and irrigators getting 

stuck and breaking drive 

mechanisms, usually in the 

middle of the night. 

Wheel ruts have, until now, 

been an unavoidable 

consequence of operating a 

centrepivot irrigator. 

Because the wheels track 

along the same path on each 

and every revolution, the 

ground on this path becomes 

slightly depressed and, from 

that time, water collects in 

the depressions and it 

becomes arut. 

Over time, this rut becomes 

more of aproblem, putting a 

strain on the irrigator and 

making it more difficult to 

drive the wheels. 

This inevitably results in 

machinery failure and, as 

Murphy’s Law states, it’s 

usually at the most 

inconvenient moment. 

Filling the ruts is only part 

of the solution. It needs to be 

done well, with the ruts filled 

properly, safely and 

efficiently. 

North Canterburybased 

ICS Farm Machinery makes 

the ICS Rutbuster. This 

unique piece of machinery is 

locally designed and 

manufactured by the New 

Zealandowned and operated 

company. 

It provides asafe, efficient 

way of dealing with irrigation 

ruts in asingle pass. It needs 

only one operator, making it 

easier to fill ruts of virtually 

any depth. There is no 

grading of overflow, as 

required by other systems, 

and no need to compact after 

filling the rut. 

The Rutbuster is safe to 

operate as the tractor wheels 

straddle the rut rather than 

driving in it. The Rutbuster 

fills to the fence line, resulting 

in awellfilled tidy rut. 

It is solid and robust, 

designed for New Zealand 

and Australia’s tough 

conditions. 

They are built by ateam of 

dedicated Kiwis —more 

specifically, agroup 

comprising some of 

Canterbury’s most skilled 

engineers. 

The ICS Rutbuster’s 

popularity has seen the 

company expand sales 

overseas, with Rutbusters 

regularly leaving the country. 

The company is enjoying 

positive feedback from 

Australia, South America and 

Egypt. 

The Rutbuster comes with a 

12 month warranty, as well as 

customer choice of colour and 

modifications to suit, if 

required.
