It is the Papanui HighSchool

her exhibition.
She has resurrected them
from theirburialboxesof

Hanmer plan change gets nod
By ROBYN BRISTOW
A12.97 hectare block of land
on the east side of Argelins
Road in Hanmer Springs
could soon be opened up to
houses, aretirement village
and preschool.
Morford Properties has
successfully applied for a
plan change to allow the land
to be included within the
town’s boundary and be
rezoned from rural to
residential 1H.
The plan change was
publicly notified in
September last year,
attracting eight submissions.
Ahearing for the privately
requested plan change was
held on March 20 this year
before independent
commissioner Dean Chrystal,
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black
and Cr Geoff Shier.
The hearing panel
recommended approving it
with afew adjustments, and
its recommendations were
approved by the Hurunui
District Council last week.
The site proposal includes
provision for up to 90
residential lots, mostly
around 500 square metres,
with larger lots along the
western boundary.
Aretirement village of
eight townhouses, 22 villas,
20 serviced apartments and
20 care beds is also planned.
Submitters raised issues of
loss of the rural, open
outlook, density, the
geotechnical risk, the risk of
flooding, property
devaluation, landscaping and
storm and wastewater
management.
Some were also concerned
the Pitch NPutt golf facility
could be lost to the
development.
However, council planner
Kelsey Bewley, in areport on
the plan change, said the
Pitch NPutt issue was a
private one, not aresource
management issue.
‘‘Therefore the loss of the
Pitch NPutt cannot be
considered as part of the plan
change assessment.’’

Youth hit badly by
Covid-19 job losses
By DAVID HILL
Youngpeople are being
disproportionately affected by Covid­19
job losses.
How to engage young peopleinthe
recoverywas just one of the questions
askedatthe Waimakariri Jobs Summit
held at the Rangiora RSAonFriday,
organised by Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey
and Dean Percy, managingdirectorof
creative agency The Mark.
Whilenational scenarios predict
unemploymentcould hit 9percent,youth
unemployment‘‘could trackashigh as
25%’’, Mr Doocey warned.
‘‘We are already seeingyoung people
disproportionately affected,’’ Enterprise
NorthCanterbury business development
manager Miles Daltonagreed.
Workshopparticipants wondered if
therewere opportunities for ‘‘tech
apprenticeships’’ to engage youngpeople,
whileconcerns were expressed at the time
and expense involved with on­the­job
training, especially in uncertain times.
Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson, who
runs the Kaiapoi Community Care and
Employment Trust, says socialenterprises
and not­for­profit organisations can play a
valuable roleinworking alongsidefirms to
‘‘produce work­readypeople’’.
Keynote speaker, National MP and
former merchantbankerAndrewBayly,
said he initially thoughtCovid­19 ‘‘would
be a12to18­monthscenario’’.
‘‘I’ve got to sayinthe last couple of days
I’ve actually changed my mind. I’ve
become alot gloomier.’’
Developments globally tended to
indicate Covid­19 could lead to afour to
five­year recession and it could be longer,
Mr Baylysaid. But New Zealand was in a
good positioncompared to other countries
because of its relatively low debt levels of
20% of grossdomestic product, whichwas
set to doubleinjust threemonths and
doubleagaininthe next four years.
By comparison the UnitedStates’ debt
level was 107% of GDP beforeCovid­19,
while European countriesaveraged67%.
‘‘The wagesubsidy has got us through
the lockdown, but when that comes off
there will be some difficulties and Ithink
we will see somebusinesses failing.’’
Agriculture wasplaying avital rolein
keeping New Zealand working,but more
neededtobedone to help recovery, Mr
Bayly said.‘‘We needtodothe large­scale
infrastructure projects, but we need to do
large­scale integrated developments, for
example house­building,becausethat’s
what employs people.
‘‘We need to welcome international
students, but they willhave to stay here.
They won’t be able to flitback and forth.
And we needthe technologytoenable
more people to work from home.Ithink we
should be thinking thatthis willgoon
longerthan we planned at the outset.’’
New Zealand has already reached‘‘peak
cow’’,but therewere opportunities in
other producesuch as avocadosand
kiwifruit,and the red meat sector is more
profitable thanithas been in years.
Mr Baylysaidhewas impressed with the
optimismshown by Waimakariri
businesses.
Mr Doocey said aresearcher had been
engaged to contact businessesfor
interviewsand he planstoengage with
local youth to get ayouth perspective.
Findings willbeshared withthe local
business sector, he said.

Upgrade now more pressing
By DAVID HILL
Planstorefurbish Rangiora’smain
council building have taken on greater
urgency after an engineering
assessment.
Apreliminary scopeofwork
assessment suggests partsofthe
Rangiora service centremay meet only
40 percent of the new building standard.
“The building’s ratingislower than
previously believeddue to achange in
an engineeringassessmentofthe
ductile strength of the steelmesh
reinforcing in the concrete floor in part
of the building upstairs,”Waimakariri
District Council chief executiveJim
Palmer says. It had previously been
thought the building met 67% of the
standard,ormore.
“Based on the information we have to
date,strengthening work is required to
reduce therisk of apartial collapseof
the floor in the event of alarge
earthquake.’’
As aprecaution, adecision has been
madetotemporarily limit staff and
public access to affected parts.
All services and functions will
continue to operate as closetonormalas
possible, with the public still ableto
access public areas while thecouncil
awaitsamore detailed report.
An upgrade hasbeen in the pipeline
for some time,with plans scaled back as
the council sought savings becauseof
Covid­19, with the spend now expected
to be 30% of the original budget.
Strategy and engagement manager
Simon Markham says planned work will
include upgrading theheating and
ventilation. ‘‘Itwon’trequire us to be
entirely out of the building, but there
willbedisruption.’’
The council will continue to employ
flexibleworking arrangements for staff.
Further work on the Rangiora service
centre will be considered in next year’s
LongTerm Plan,with aRangiora
Libraryextensionalso proposed.

New technology in the supermarket aisles
5
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Technology beat good old
fashioned slog in ashop­off at
PAK’nSAVE Rangiora on
Tuesday morning.
Two North Canterbury News
readers who won adraw took to
the aisles using identical
shopping lists —one armed
with the new SHOP’nGo device,
while the other shopped
conventionally.
Rangiora’s Carolyn Lane,
who used the new device,
completed her shop several
minutes ahead of Barry
Lennox, from Kaiapoi.
All concentration .. . Barry
Lennox studies his shopping list
during the shop­off.
Carolyn says the biggest timesaver
with the device was at the
checkout because her shop had
already been tallied and she
packed it in her trolley as she
shopped.
All she had to do was pay.
Meanwhile, Barry had to
wheel through acheckout, put
his groceries on the counter to
be scanned, and then pack
them.
Their efforts earned each of
them a$200 PAK’nSAVE
voucher, while many others will
also benefit from their efforts.
Owner­operators James and
Catherine Flanagan gifted the
competition groceries to food
banks.
People involved in anew
collaborative approach to
ensure enough food is getting to
food banks were on­hand to
accept the groceries.
Tessa Sturley, community
team manager at the
Waimakariri District Council,
says the collaborative approach
was born out of the Covid­19
lockdown to ensure asupply of
food was available to those in
the community who needed it.
It is led by Nicki Carter,
social services Waimakariri
facilitator, and Rachel
Thornton, the community
development facilitator for the
council.
Mr Flanagan says the
SHOP’nGO device went live on
Monday this week, and was
already proving popular, with
many registering to use it for
their grocery shop.

Common sense needed
over fresh water policy
By CAM HENDERSON, president of
North Canterbury Federated Farmers
Everyonewantsimprovements to the
quality of water in ourstreams, rivers

there is disagreementabout how to
achieve it, howfast it needsto happen,
and at what cost.
Federated Farmers is encouraged
by signs of growing recognition that
targetedaction on issues particular to

When the Government first released
its EssentialFreshwater proposals last

Theproposals were tochange.

Project under way ... An artist’s impression of the six­metre high canopy which will
redirect falling rocks away from the road and road users.
Rock project begins
Work to install permanent rockfall
protection on State Highway 1
between Peketa and the Parititahi
tunnels, south of Kaikoura, began last
Monday.
The work is expected to be
completed by Christmas.
It will cause delays for motorists of
up to 35 minutes on weekdays between
9am and 5pm during the first month of
work.
Kaikoura Mayor Craig Mackle says it
will be great to get the work done.
‘‘There will be considerable
disturbance but it is avery small price
to pay for the outcome.’’
In April last year amotorist was
lucky to escape serious injury when
four large rocks fell on his vehicle
from the rock face near the tunnels.
Other rock­protection measures
have already been installed in the
area, including adraped mesh fence
and barriers.
Recovery push in Kaikoura
The Kaikoura District Council has joined
forces with Te Runanga oKaikoura to
lead the district’s Covid­19 recovery.
MayorCraig Mackle says the
partnership has beenevolving since
October,asthe councillooked to the
future as part of its ongoingearthquake
recoveryefforts.
The partnership is known as the
KaikouraEconomicRecovery
GovernanceGroup (KERGG).
‘‘It’s about honouring our treaty
partnership and it has beendeveloping
rapidly sinceOctober, so it seemedonly
natural to evolve into aCovid­19 recovery
IMAGE: SUPPLIED
Colin Knaggs, the North Canterbury
Transport Infrastructure Recovery
(NCTIR) alliance manager, said:
‘‘With more than 70 recorded rockfall
incidents in the area since the 2016
earthquake, apermanent solution is
needed to protect road users now and
in the future.”
The canopy design will use rock
protection netting made of hightensile
galvanised steel to allow light
through. It is the first of its kind to be
installed in the southern hemisphere.
‘‘It was chosen in preference to
other ways of protecting road users,
for example, atunnel, which would
have cut off the sea views,’’ he says.
The canopy was designed by NCTIR
staff in consultation with European
designers.
The first stage of the work will
include rock scaling and milling the
existing rock by NCTIR staff to make
the area safe for workers below.
Overseas students remain
International student numbersremain
strong in the Waimakariri, despite Covid­
19 restrictions.
Rangiora High School has 30 internationalstudents
enrolled and programme
director Melissa Heyrick says there
continues to be plenty of interest, with
New Zealand seen as ‘‘a safe haven’’.
All of the students are long­termstays,
with all short­term group visits for this
year postponed.
‘‘I don’t think we will be seeingany of the
groups this year, but we are already planning
for next year,’’ she said. ‘‘Overall, our
numbers are down slightly, but it’senough
to keep us busy and we have such alovely
group.’’
The students are from the likes of
Germany, China,Japan,Thailand and
Austria, and thereare plenty of enquiries.
RangioraNew Life School international

eight internationalstudents.
‘‘For us it’s not too bad at the moment.

Cone sales help charity
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Seven­year­old best friends
Scarlet Morgan and Indie
Stevens have become two of the
youngest contributors to Kaiapoi
Community Support’s food bank.
The Year 3students from St
Patrick’s School, Kaiapoi,
collected pine cones and sold
them at their front gates.
Selling 15 bags in all, Scarlet
and Indie used the cash to buy
items to give to the food bank.
The idea came about through a
school project called The Trinity
Quest.
Students perform challenges
during the school year relating to
giving, community, academic
excellence, the arts and physical
activity, with themes associated
with caring, co­operation and
helping others.
When the girls delivered the
food to Kaiapoi Community
Support, they were given atour
of the food bank by its coordinator,
Louise Griffiths, and
helped unload the goods into the
pantry.
“The best part was choosing
yummy stuff,” Indie told Louise.
The food bank is one of the free
community services run by the
Community Wellbeing North
Canterbury Trust.
New World Kaiapoi is
currently running adrive on
behalf of the food bank until the
end of July.
“Donations of canned goods,
pantry staples and, in Indie’s
words, alittle something yummy,
are much appreciated,” Louise
says.

Spending across region
gets post-Covid bump
By DAVID HILL
North Canterbury retailers are
riding awave of post­lockdown
spending.
Figures released by the
Ministry of Business
Innovation and Employment
(MBIE) shows, in the first four
weeks after lockdown, retail
spending in Kaikoura was 15.1
percent ahead of the same time
last year.
The retail spend was up 5%
in Waimakariri and 3% in
Hurunui.
Kaikoura Mayor Craig
Mackle said the boost was
largely driven by weekend
visitors. ‘‘It’s been going pretty
well actually. Even last weekend
was busy. It’s definitely up
at the moment and most people
are pretty happy.
‘‘It’s surprisingly busy for
this time of year and long may
it continue.’’
The boom in New Zealand’s
provincial towns is in stark
contrast to the cities, with
Christchurch just 1.1% ahead
of last year, while Auckland
and Wellington are among the
four districts where retail
spending is down, as many
commuters continue to work
from home, the ministry says.
Waimakariri District Council
strategy and engagement
manager Simon Markham
believes the growth in retail
spending can be attributed to
several things, including locals
working from home instead of
commuting into Christchurch,
money saved during the
lockdown, anew impetus on
shopping local, and shoppers
wanting to avoid the malls.
The Covid­19 experience
could provide solutions as
councils and businesses look to
be more sustainable in tackling
climate change, he says.
‘‘Post­Covid, we are seeing
life patterns change, with more
people working from home,
which has wider benefits for
our district with more people
being local during the day, so
they are spending money in
their town centre rather than
where they would be working.
‘‘There could be environmental
benefits as well as
economic benefits from people
working from home or having
more flexible start times and
work hours, which would also
reduce traffic congestion.’’
The council has been
working on developing a
sustainability strategy, with a
report due to be presented to
this week’s council meeting.
While Covid­19 has delayed
the development of the
strategy, it has also shown what
is possible, Mr Markham says.
The report will review the
council’s vehicle fleet, waste
treatment plant and energy
savings with aview to ‘‘doing
that smarter’’.

Waimakariri set
to bounce back
By DAVID HILL
Waimakariri is well­placed to
bounce back from Covid­19, says
Enterprise North Canterbury (ENC)
business development manager
MilesDalton.
Speaking at last week’s
Waimakariri Jobs Summit, Mr
Dalton said ENC was working to get
24 ‘‘exciting projects’’ off theground,
and abetter­than­expected business
opinion survey has given the region
reason for optimism.
‘‘It’s bad, but notasbad as we
thought,’’ he said,after the recent
NorthCanterbury Business Opinion
Survey.
‘‘We’ve takenaknock, but we are
better placed than most other parts
of the country. We’ve been through
four disasters now —threeearthquakes
and now aplague —and we
come into our own whenbad things
happen.’’
ENC has received two months
worthofenquiries in just twoweeks
from prospective new businesses.
‘‘We havehad quite alot of people
coming in withsome really good
projects whichthey have obviously
put alot of thought into.
‘‘We are awareof19new
businesses starting up in North
Canterbury sinceMarchand we’ve
had 17 interviews with prospective
new businesses.’’
The business survey found93
percent of businesses had areduced
income duringlockdown, with 55%
having areducedprofitfor the last
six months,but 20% had higher
profits. ‘‘We are seeingthat jump
now thatlockdown has finished and
retail and hospitality seemtobe
pretty busy right now. As to how long
thatwill last, that’sanotherquestion.
‘‘Onthe whole, businessesare
hanging in there.Everyonetook abig
hit from the lockdown and many had
to take out loans,but mostbusinesses
are prettyoptimistic about surviving.
‘‘The weakness of Waimakariri has
suddenlybecome our strength in that
we weren’t reliant on international
tourismand we are seen as asafe
haven. We’vebeen approached by
international investors looking at
setting up some fairly substantial
operations.’’
Large projects includedLime
Living (an apartment development
proposed for Silverstream), the
proposed aquasportspark in
Kaiapoi, alargeTaiwanese pet food
factory, the Waimakariri Sports
Stadium, Ravenswood New World, a
chocolate factory, various hemp
projects, manuka oil and the
proposed star trail, Mr Daltonsays.
‘‘One of the things I’ve often
thought is that New Zealand needsto
diversify away from peak cow, and
hempand cannabis are coming in as
an option.
‘‘Hemp for food andfibre and
medicinal cannabis are very strong
and thesepeople have their overseas
markets already locked in.
‘‘And we’re stillworking towards
the observatory and star trail,’’ he
said, adding thatthere is less
urgency because of the loss of
international tourists.’’

Artistic endeavour ... Laura Hewetson, left, and Mel Eaton shared avision for an arts collective in North Canterbury.
Shared vision leads to arts collective
By SHELLEY TOPP
Two North Canterbury women
have established anew arts
collective.
It is the brainchild of
Waipara’s Laura Hewetson and
Mel Eaton, of Woodend.
The idea arose when Laura
and her family moved from
Wellington to North Canterbury
almost two years ago.
She put apost up on aNorth
Canterbury mums’ Facebook
group asking if anyone was
interested in running art classes
or having alittle art group.
Mel contacted her saying she
had wanted to do asimilar thing,
so they met for acoffee and
shared their vision and passion
for creative communities.
Mel had established asimilar
initiative in Qatar called
‘‘Inspiration Station’’ and, as an
experienced art teacher, she
had the know­how to create an
arts collective, while Laura’s
background as an artist working
at aperforming­arts centre in
Wellington provided complementary
skills for the initiative.
Since that first meeting, the
women have been sharing their
vision with other local creatives,
and the collective began to
slowly form.
Laura and Mel are in the
process of transforming NEST
into an incorporated society
with charitable status and
earlier this year the women
were given agrant through
Hurunui Creative Communities
to put on an event in Amberley
to ‘‘launch and introduce’’ the
collective to North Canterbury.
The Covid­19 pandemic

lockdown ‘‘put the brakes on
that, but as soon as we hit level
one it was pedal to the metal’’.
The collective’s first
exhibition and workshop is
scheduled to begin this
Saturday, running until July 26
at 16 Markham Street,
Amberley, from 10am until 3pm.
‘‘We have been blown away by
the incredible artists in the
region who have joined with us
and are showcasing their work
and running workshops,’’ the
women say. About 20 artists are
involved in the event.
Dog fee
incentive
Being aresponsible dog
owner in the Hurunui
District will mean cheaper
registration for owners.
Registrations are due
with afinal payment date
of August 1.
Those whose dogs meet
certain criteria will find it
cheaper.
Dogs who have never
roamed, are microchipped
and whose owners have
always paid the
registration fee on time
qualify for areduced fee of
$33. The standard fee is
$47 ayear.
Records show about
1000 dog owners may meet
the Responsible Dog
Owner criteria.
Compliance team leader
Andrew Brown says the
category is in the best
interests of owners, their
dogs, and the district.
“People who meet all of
the responsible dog owner
criteria are not only acting
in the best interests of
dogs, but also generally
require less time and
resource from the
council.”
He says it backs up the
Department of Internal
Affairs’ message that
safety around dogs is a
combination of good law,
good enforcement,
compliance by dog owners
and community support.

Before making the final decisiononwhat
type of fenceistobeinstalled, consider the
following:
1. Capitalcosts.
2. The labour cost to build.
3. Maintenance costs.
4. Stockholding ability. The fence should
be suitable for the stock it is to hold.Also,
considerwhat stock neighbours have when
constructing aboundary fence.
5. Required service lifeofthe fence.
Thereisno use buying materialsthatare
unlikelytogive the lifespan you require.
6. Flood or fire risk. There’s no use having
abattened fence in aflood­prone area.
7. Risks of soil slips or movements.
8. Climaterisk (e.g. coastal erosion).
9. Availability and skill of labour.
10. Availabilityofmaterials.
Afterall these considerations, you
should have adesign in mind that will
achieve the animal containment required,
suit the terrain, yourfarmingsystem,and
your budget, and it will last.
Wheretobuild
When deciding on placement, consider
the following:
1. Boundaries: Check the accurate
location of boundaries before erecting the
fence. Discuss plans with your neighbour.
2. Class of land: Where possible, fences
can be used to separate one class of land
from another, whether it be different soil
types, or aspect (sunny, shady, etc).
3. Easeofaccess: Afence line that can be
bulldozedwill cut transport and erection
costs, butmay leadtoerosion problems.
4. Avoid problem areas:Thesecan lead to
extramaterials and maintenance. Soft
soilsare troublesome for fence end
assemblies,cornersorangles. Rock can
make post installation very difficult.
Unstable streams maymeander and cut off
or underminefences.
With slopes,fencingstraightupand
down aslope will suffer less from snow
and boulders. If aslope must be crossed,
look for old terraces or achange of slope
whichmay breakthe slide of snow.
Gullies susceptible to floodswill require
acollapsible portionoffloodgates.
5. Avoid unnecessary dips or bends.
Nearly everydip will require atiedownor
foot.Likewise, bends will require bigger
postsorstrainer assemblies.
6. Makethe strainaslong as reasonably
possible. Good flat going may allow 1200m
strains but in roughground you may be
down to 100m.
7. Carefulsiting of gatewayscan make
stockmovement alot easier.
The lie and the shape of the land will
influenceyour decision. You may decide
on somehuman intervention and push in a
nice,even flatline withabulldozer on

whichtoconstruct your fence.
It’s agood idea to limitthe number of
angles in yourfence if possible. This may
include taking intoaccount the numberof
rise and dip posts as well.
Will you go around aspur or over it? Will
you run acrossthe ditchoralongside it?
Will you fence off the boggy patch or fence
rightthrough it?
Selecting material:
Post length (how far will it go in the
ground?): Experiments with radiata pine
postshave shownthere is arelationship
between postdiameter and the necessary
depththe postisburiedinthe ground to
stop it overturning. In mediumclays,apost
set in the soil 10 timesits diameterormore
will usually fail by breaking.Insofter soils,
the 1:10ratiobecomes as large as 1:15, so
a90mm postset 900mminsoft soilwill fail
by overturning. In other words, to obtain a
strongerfence there is little to be gained by
usingalargerdiameter post, unlessitis
balanced by using apost which is longer
too. The only benefit of the larger diameter
is the increased facewidth pushing against
the soil. From then it can be seenthat the
extrastrength of the No.1A post(for
example) is wasted with a1.8m post.
Because of its extra width, aNo.1 halfroundpostofthe
same length in the same
ground would be stronger. Unfortunately,
longer posts are disproportionately more
expensive, so the standard1.8m­long post
is almostinvariably used.
Quickguide:
Medium claysoils:Bury at 10 times the

Help for erosion-prone land
Aprogramme aimedatsupporting
landowners witherosion­prone landhas
resulted in 2000 poplars being planted,
and about 200 hectares of nativebush
retired at Mt Guardian in the Hurunui
District.
The first year of the four­yearSoil
Conservationand Regeneration (SCAR)
programme has ended withfarmers
beinggiven advice, tools and skills to help
improve their farm systems and water
quality through reducing the amount of
sediment getting intowaterways because
of erosion.
SCAR is jointly funded by Environment
Canterbury (ECan) and the Ministry for
Primary Industries’ Hill Country Erosion
Fund.Itispart of anew wave of hill
country erosionprogrammes in the South
Island.
ECan staff work with landownersinthe
region,improvingtheirknowledgeofsoil
management, and share skills and
experiences.
In 2020­21, about 3000morepoplars
will be planted to help soil conservation,

and provide shelter,shade, fodder,

It is hoped to retire afurther100
hectares of native bush, engage with 40
new landowners and plant anurserywith
6500 new poplars and willows.
The programme alsoaims to complete
42 free land­use capability maps.
Afeatureofthe maps is that staff look
at soil, slope and rock type on properties,
the existing erosionand its severity, and
what is growing.They thenmap the
information for farmers, showingthe
capabilityofthe land, and devisea
programme of works to improve how the
farm system works, and allow for the
budgeting of resources to reduce erosion
over 10 years.
Assessmentsare also made on the best
soil conservation measures,such as
space planting or retiringunder­utilised
eroding land.
Building positive relationships
between landowners,ECan staff, local
contractorsand the community has
helpedthe success of the programme.

Waipara landownerRichard
Murchisonsays his poplar planting
regime in ablock whereerosion had the
potentialtobeaproblem wasboosted by
being able to apply for SCAR funding.
‘‘The benefits are two­fold.First,it
stops erosion and sediment into
waterways, and second,itprovides stock
shelter and shade.Itwas asmooth
processthroughout,”hesays.
Peter Fitzpatrick, of Cheviot, had
already beenplanting 100 to 150 polesa
yearfor more than 20 years. He saysit
madesensetoaccess the funding and
advice. “Thebenefits to thistype of
planting are many–preventingerosion,
shade in thesummerfor stock, and the
planting looks good.’’
ECanNorthern Zonedeliverymanager
Andrew Arps saysthe team hasfound the
community receptive to the package.
‘‘Putting in space planting and retiring
erosion­prone landimproves bothfarm
systems and environmental outcomes,
suchasreduced phosphorus in streams
and increased biodiversity.”
Tackling subsidence ... Poplars, once
established, will limit erosion.
Relief over firearm exemption
Federated Farmersisrelieved thatits
advocacy for farmers to be able to apply
for endorsements to use prohibited
firearms for pestcontrol has succeeded.
ASupplementary Order Paperhas
been introduced to the Arms Legislation
Bill that allowsagriculturaland forestry
businesses to apply forendorsements to
use prohibited firearms for pestcontrol
as part of their business operations.
However, therewill be strict vetting
and qualificationcriteria for farmersto
meet.
This includes demonstrating their
suitability and proving prohibited
firearms are needed to controlthe
economic and environmental damage of
problemspecies suchasferal pigs,feral
goats, deer, wallabies, rabbits, hares and
Canada geese.
The endorsements for landowners
will put them on the same footing as

Classy Kaiapoi pummels Saracens
By LINDSAY KERR and
PETER WILLIAMS
RUGBY
Kaiapoi’s players have inked
themselves in as virtually
certain semi­finalists, showing
the sort of talent that suggests
they could go all the way in the
2020 Luisetti Seeds North
Canterbury Rugby competition.
They thrashed alacklustre
Saracens team 45­7 at the
weekend.
Saracens never got into the
match, being comprehensively
outplayed in every facet.
Up front, Kaiapoi dominated
in the scrums and lineouts, as
well as at the breakdown.
In the backline, Kaiapoi
showed confidence that posed a
constant threat to its
opposition.
Saracens tried hard. Brett
Hancox, playing on the flank,
and Ollie Ashby at half­back
were two of Saracens’ better
players.
Kaiapoi put in atotal team
effort. It is almost unfair to
single out any individuals, but
Connor Smith at lock had a
gargantuan game and Rob
Samson at fullback showed his
class every time he got near the
ball.
Scorers: Kaiapoi 45 (Samson
(3), Ben Wicksteed, Luka
Tootoo, and Iowane
Koroitukana (2) tries; Taine
Jacobs­Lawson, Lance Taylor
(4) conversions.) Saracens 7
(Hadrian Jackson try, Ricky
Allin conversion).
Hard­fought win
Glenmark­Cheviot’s
unbeaten run continued, but it
did not come easily.
Last week, it battled to a
hard­fought win over Hurunui.
This time it was Ashley, which
led its more fancied rivals at
the break before losing 20­26.
Playing on its home ground
before apacked gallery, Ashley
threw everything at the visitors,
scoring first with apenalty goal
before half back Brett Cameron
scored atry, following amove
that started with an intercept.
Glenmark responded and,
after asolid build­up, Angus
Harrison scored in the corner.
Fifteen minutes the side took
the lead when Hayden
O’Donnell crashed over in a
wall of jerseys to score.
With half­time looming,
Korbyn Gray kicked Ashley
ahead 13­12 with his second
penalty.
The scene was set for the
final outcome in the opening
moments of the second half,
when Glenmark’s livewire
loosie Jacob Vincent scored a
try. This was converted by
super boot Brook Retallick.
Ashley continued to irritate
Touchdown ... Rob Samson scores for Kaiapoi against Saracens.
its opposition and attacked
with vigour. However, on two
occasions when in promising
attacking situations the side
was let down by lineout
inaccuracies.
Fifteen minutes from time,
Retallick seized on asloppy
Ashley pass and sprinted 40m to
take his team to a26­13 lead.
Ashley stayed in the contest
and after aspirited attack the
Ashley forwards rumbled over
the line, with Louis James the
try scorer.
Glenmark­Cheviot’s overall
accuracy was again the key to
its success. Lock Angus Foster
and prop Hayden O’Donnell
were standout performers in
the pack, while halfback Jordy
Gray organised the backs with
efficiency and enthusiasm.
While beaten, Ashley again
showed that the team of 2020 is
one that will improve with each
outing and should emerge as
serious semi­final contenders.
Scoreboard: Glenmark­
Cheviot; 26 (Angus Harrison,
Hayden O’Donnell, Jacob
Vincent tries; Brook Retallick a
try and three conversions.)
Ashley 20 (Brett Cameron,
Louis James tries; Korbyn Gray
2conversions, 2penalties.)

Comeback effort
Hurunui bounced back from
its loss to Glenmark to come
from well behind to head off a
visiting Ohoka side 28­25.
While the victory was sweet
for Hurunui, it was agony for
Ohoka, which led for most of the
game, only to lose by 3points.
Hurunui posted the first
points with apenalty before
Ohoka equalised. Both sides
traded tries before Tom Taylor
put Ohoka ahead 15­8 with a
converted try on half­time.
