Relaxingthe rulesaroundthe<br />

growingofcannabis plantscould<br />

create 20,000 jobsnationally<br />

within five years, industry<br />

backers say.<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> is at the heart of<br />

the country’s fledgling cannabis<br />

industry throughthe growing of<br />

the lesspotent variety, hemp.<br />

However, it is hamperedbythe<br />

current law which still classifies<br />

thisindustrial varietyofthe<br />

cannabisplant as aharmful drug.<br />

However, hemp contains onlya<br />

fraction of the psychoactive<br />

substances found in marijuana.<br />

Brad Lake, aco­founder of<br />

SouthIslandhemp producer The<br />

Brothers Green, says avote to<br />

legalise cannabis in this<br />

September’s referendum will<br />

likely see an easing of<br />

restrictionsaround the growing<br />

of cannabis and its hemp cousin,<br />

as new legislation willbe<br />

required to change the cannabis<br />

laws.<br />

Suchamove couldcreate<br />

20,000 jobswithin five years,with<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>farmers leading the<br />

way,MrLake says.<br />

With tens of thousands of<br />

people expected to be<br />

unemployedbythe end of the<br />

year becauseofCovid­19,now is<br />

the time for change, he says.<br />

“The opportunities are just<br />

phenomenal, particularly for<br />

young people who can really<br />

grasp the potential.<br />

“It’s young people we are<br />

puttingatrisk if we don’tget in<br />

behindthem and get some<br />

reformaroundcannabis.”<br />

Under the existing legal<br />

framework,MrLake says afullspectrum<br />

Vandals enter ward<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Avalued map was torn in two<br />

and windows and doors<br />

broken by vandals in the<br />

Chisholm Ward of the former<br />

Queen Mary Hospital<br />

recently.<br />

The hand­drawn layout of<br />

the Chisholm ward was<br />

wrenched from its frame,<br />

which was also wrecked,<br />

after agroup of young people<br />

entered the building and<br />

caused about $2500 of<br />

damage.<br />

The drawing is not as old as<br />

first believed, probably being<br />

drawn in the 1960s or 70s.<br />

Fortunately, acopy is held<br />

securely in the Hurunui<br />

District Council’s archives.<br />

A19­year­old Rangiora<br />

resident, who was part of the<br />

group, has been arrested for<br />

entering the ward. He will be<br />

given achance to pay for the<br />

damage, or could face<br />

prosecution.<br />

The alarm sounded after<br />

the group broke into the<br />

vacant hospital ward, which<br />

resulted in police arresting<br />

one offender. The others fled<br />

before police arrived.<br />

However, recently<br />

installed security cameras<br />

served their purpose and<br />

Hanmer Security have clear<br />

footage of all the offenders.<br />

During the past six months<br />

there have been three breakins<br />

at the former Queen Mary<br />

Cannabis could generate 20,000 jobs<br />

From Page 1<br />

“It’s so simple to makeand it’s just aplant<br />

oil. We could be producing this in<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>, but we’re not allowed to use<br />

that part of the plant.”<br />

The state of Colorado, in the United<br />

States, whichhas asimilar population to<br />

New Zealand and legalisedcannabis six<br />

years ago, now has acannabis industry<br />

employing 35,000 people.<br />

Last year,the state government<br />

collected $320 million intaxes, Mr Lake<br />

said.<br />

“But in New Zealand, we don’t collect<br />

any tax from cannabis and we have the<br />

expense of resourcing the policeto<br />

enforce the law.<br />

“By turning it into ahealth issuerather<br />

than acrime, you can control the quality,<br />

Damage ... The Chisholm Ward at the former Queen Mary<br />

Hospital site in Hanmer Springs is the latest target of vandalism.<br />

PHOTO: FILE<br />

Hospital, resulting in 12<br />

smashed windows.<br />

Ayear ago agroup of<br />

offenders were prosecuted<br />

after they caused $7000<br />

worth of damage by kicking<br />

in four rimu doors in the<br />

Soldiers’ Block.<br />

Hanmer Security general<br />

manager Marc Tansey says<br />

the constant break­ins and<br />

vandalism are frustrating<br />

and heartbreaking.<br />

“Leave this place alone<br />

and show it some respect.<br />

‘‘There’s such history<br />

the use and who is at risk.”<br />

Last year, 100 hectares of farmland<br />

near Culverden wasconverted to hemp,<br />

whileMid­<strong>Canterbury</strong> companies<br />

Carrfieldsand Midlands are bothgrowing<br />

more than500ha, all supplying The<br />

Brothers Green.<br />

Being adeep­rooted plant, hemp can<br />

access mineralsinthe soil which other<br />

plants cannot reach,making it ahighly<br />

regenerative crop. It creates adiversity of<br />

productsfor farmers and an additional<br />

incomesource, Mr Lake says.<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> is the best place to grow<br />

hempas“we are just so blessed with<br />

water and irrigation”, and there is<br />

support for the fledgling industry at<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> and Lincoln universities, he<br />

says.<br />

“Weare working with the universities<br />

here,” Mr Tansey said.<br />

The Hurunui District<br />

Council’s chief strategy and<br />

community officer, Judith<br />

Batchelor, said the doors,<br />

worth $1000 each, are yet to<br />

be replaced and the<br />

damaged areas are currently<br />

boarded up.<br />

“The grounds of the<br />

Hospital are still<br />

maintained, but the<br />

unoccupied buildings have<br />

sadly been atarget,” she<br />

said. “It’s mindless<br />

vandalism.”<br />

to get some hard data and credible<br />

numbers for farmers to makethose<br />

decisions.”<br />

Mr Lakesays he cannot think of another<br />

plant “that could create so many<br />

opportunities”ashemp: anything from<br />

food, fibre, oil, medication andeven a<br />

natural alternative to plastic. There is a<br />

growing export market, he says.<br />

Growing hemp could also help<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> farms become carbon neutral,<br />

he says.<br />

Research indicates dairy farmers who<br />

convert 10 percent of their farm into<br />

hempcould reduce carbon emissions by<br />

at least 50%.<br />

“So, if you converted 20% of your farm,<br />

you could effectively becomecarbon<br />

neutral, and what does that do for our<br />

brandand gettingthe publiconboard?’’<br />

Mayor to<br />

take cut<br />

in pay<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The mayor’s salary, Covid­19 recovery<br />

and sustainability dominated<br />

discussions during last weekend’s<br />

Waimakariri District Councilmeeting.<br />

Councillorsvoted 6­4 against accepting<br />

acouncil report explaining that a<br />

RemunerationAuthority decision would<br />

see Mayor Dan Gordon’s salary cut by<br />

nearly $7000 to $130,625for the next six<br />

months because of Covid­19. This<br />

equates to a10percent reduction.<br />

But the outcome was never in doubt, as<br />

the authority had already decreed that<br />

all elected membersreceiving asalary of<br />

more than$100,000 were to receive acut,<br />

underlegislationpassed in May.<br />

Mr Gordon voted in support of his own<br />

pay cut,but Deputy MayorNeville<br />

Atkinson, Crs Al Blackie, Philip<br />

Redmond and Joan Ward spokeout<br />

against it.<br />

‘‘I believeit’s the wrong thing to do to<br />

someone whenyou are leading the<br />

community in acrisis,’’ Cr Atkinsonsaid.<br />

Cr Redmond added:‘‘I think most<br />

people are working harder to get us<br />

through this crisis ...Ithink it’s<br />

unfortunate thatyou are taking one for<br />

Cr Blackie saidifthe mayor had to take<br />

Repurposed hardwood poles,<br />

beams, and bridge timber are<br />

providingthe foundations for a<br />

successfulbusiness formed by<br />

Kaiapoi’s Martin Thompson.<br />

LMA Timber (Low<br />

Maintenance Architectural<br />

Timber) was born in May 2018,<br />

and teamedupwith Kennedy<br />

Timbers in Brisbane, which<br />

takes75percent of all reclaimed<br />

timber in Queensland, including<br />

about200,000 power poles.<br />

They also reclaim old wharf<br />

beams, timbers from warehousing<br />

and bridges,and turn<br />

them into beams and trusses,<br />

decking,joinery, flooring, posts<br />

and landscaping timber.<br />

Mr Thompson, who grew up in<br />

Oxford, saidhewantedtofind a<br />

product that would help reduce<br />

waste, was sustainable, durable<br />

and low maintenance.<br />

Kennedy Timbers was able to<br />

provide the quantity he needed,<br />

and todaymany of the timbers<br />

feature in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

homes.<br />

The history of each pole used<br />

in construction is known, with<br />

each having ametal tagthat<br />

datesthe pole and tags its<br />

original location.<br />

Mr Thompson says one<br />

project thatisdear to him is the<br />

Save the Jetty projectfor the<br />

Governors Bay Jetty.<br />

‘‘We are looking to source<br />

around 100 reclaimed power<br />

polesand double treat them to<br />

Marine Grade standard to use as<br />

the piles.’’<br />

An eye to the future<br />

The Hurunui District Council has started<br />

developingthe long­termplans that<br />

encompassthe next 10 years,from2021to<br />

2031.<br />

Along­term plan is a10­yearstrategic<br />

planning document and coversall<br />

functions, fromfinancialplanningto<br />

social service provision —libraries,<br />

housing and community facilities.<br />

Councillorshave identified the key issues<br />

for the district anddiscussed at length the<br />

big issues andpriorities. Thereare strong<br />

cross­oversand linkagesbetweenall the<br />

issues identified —infrastructure and<br />

funding, risk andresilience, cultural,<br />

environmental,socialand economic.<br />

LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

One has to admire the<br />

imagination of the overworked<br />

creative minds at our<br />

Waimakariri District Council<br />

who work out all these<br />

wonderful­sounding titles for<br />

positions of seemingly inflated<br />

importance. Such roles create<br />

nothing but expense for the<br />

long­suffering ratepayer, in my<br />

view.<br />

The latest crop took the cake:<br />

Those attending afunction at a<br />

supermarket had the longwinded<br />

titles of social services<br />

Waimakariri co­ordinator,<br />

council community<br />

development facilitator and<br />

community team manager.<br />

Dare Isay that grandiose<br />

titles may entitle these positions<br />

to grandiose salaries?<br />

My mind boggles.<br />

Yours,<br />

What is happening to our democracy?<br />

Farmers who believe in democracy and<br />

fairness, and feel thatmoves to lessen our<br />

environmental footprint need to be<br />

tempered withwhat is practical and<br />

affordable, will be shaking their heads at<br />

the recentaction of the Government.<br />

You could accurately say they have<br />

thrown democracy out thewindowwith the<br />

freshwater.<br />

In the face of amajority of 17,000<br />

submissions pointing out major pitfalls in<br />

its original EssentialFreshwater package<br />

last year, some of the proposals that would<br />

have been most destructive of farmer<br />

livelihoods werewound back abit.<br />

The challenges of<br />

the digital divide<br />

By JOANNE GUMBRELL, chair of the<br />

Age­friendly Waimakariri Advisory Group<br />

Someofwhat is happeningtoday<br />

reminds me of Customer First, the name<br />

of aproject Iworked onfor alocal<br />

authority in Britain.<br />

Thename speaksfor itself.<br />

Thecustomer was at the centre of our<br />

services. We asked them what they<br />

wanted, rather thantell them what we<br />

would givethem.<br />

In line with council key priorities,the<br />

WaimakaririAge­friendly Advisory<br />

Group, at its last meeting, shared what<br />

we knew about gaps for older folk,<br />

particularlyduringlockdown.<br />

As wellasloneliness,there isthe<br />

digital divide.<br />

Noteveryonehas acomputer,orany<br />

deviceatall. Some people don’t want to<br />

useone,evenifgivenone andtaughthow<br />

to useit. Librarystaff have met with<br />

interested parties, including SeniorNet<br />

and theCitizensAdvice Bureau, to<br />

explore ways to help our olderresidents.<br />

Banking is difficult forsome folk now,<br />

with everything being done digitally.<br />

Gone are the days when we could take<br />

our bills to the bankand someone would<br />

pay them for us.<br />

Doing everything online may be the<br />

❛You could accurately say they<br />

Now these Cabinet decisionsare being<br />

written into regulations.<br />

Federated Farmers is working behind<br />

the scenes to try to ensurethe sharp edges<br />

of the rules that willmost hurt farmer<br />

livelihoods are smoothed,but we’re not<br />

allowed to sharedetails of the processwith<br />

❛Not everyone has a<br />

computer, or any device at all.❜<br />

best way for alot ofpeople,especially<br />

younger ones born intothe computer<br />

world. But it is much harder for some<br />

older people.<br />

Many older people worry about their<br />

money and getting their bills paid.Will<br />

thepowerbecut off? Whatwillhappen<br />

to my insurance? Asking for help is not<br />

easy, either. Some think they might be<br />

seen as afailure.<br />

Covid­19 changed the order ofmany<br />

things.The huge volunteer force of older<br />

people has dwindled.<br />

The advisorygroupwonders if perhaps<br />

younger individuals made redundant<br />

could take on some of these roles while<br />

looking for employment. There are many<br />

plusses for intergenerational<br />

interaction, which is disappearing as the<br />

world gets busier and housing is<br />

categorised into age groups.<br />

There are also older folk living<br />

isolated lives in the community. Do you<br />

know anyone in your street? Have you<br />

made new friends? Chat with an oldie.<br />

We appreciate it and it can be fun.<br />

stuck with the latter anyway.<br />

Now we findout that the Government<br />

inserted clauses in the Resource<br />

Management Act amendment legislation<br />

after the final select committee stage to<br />

makeclimate change aconsideration in<br />

resource consent hearings.<br />

Thiswas despite assurancesthat the<br />

amendment bill wouldstick to narrowly<br />

focused issues ahead of the pending and<br />

well­signalled overhaul of the Resource<br />

Management Act.This quite underhand<br />

way of bypassingdue processdenied the<br />

public,stakeholders, councils, and<br />

resource users any chance forasay.<br />

There was no opportunitytosubmit,<br />

providehearing evidence, or considerany<br />

cost­benefit or regulatory impact analysis.<br />

Fromagovernment that claimstobe<br />

openand transparent, theyhave been<br />

anythingbut with the agriculturalsector.<br />

Their actions havecaused further<br />

uncertainty in theprimarysector at atime<br />

whenthe nationcan ill­afford it.<br />

Petition opposes<br />

quarry proposal<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Apetition opposing aquarry at the<br />

Rangiora Racecourse is gaining<br />

momentum.<br />

When the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> went<br />

to print, 1700 people had signed the<br />

Change.org petition within two days of it<br />

being set up by Tracey Dimmock­Rump.<br />

She aims to get 2500 signatures in<br />

opposition to aresource consent<br />

application to quarry 700,000 cubic<br />

metres of material over a15­year period<br />

inside the track at the racecourse and in<br />

an outer area to the northeast.<br />

She plans on presenting the petition to<br />

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon.<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> reported<br />

on <strong>July</strong> 2that aresource consent had<br />

been lodged with the Waimakariri<br />

District Council and that several West<br />

Belt residents were angry about the<br />

proposal. Their concerns centre around<br />

its impact on their lives, property values<br />

and retirement plans.<br />

Council regulation manager Nick<br />

Harrison said the consent was in its<br />

infancy and staff were seeking more<br />

information from Taggart Earthmoving<br />

Ltd on its application.<br />

The petition says aquarry will affect<br />

everyone living in Arlington and West<br />

Rangiora.<br />

It asserts all houses, businesses,<br />

preschools and parks will be affected by<br />

dust and silt from the quarry. ‘‘The dust<br />

THE <strong>2020</strong> GENERAL ELECTION<br />

AND REFERENDUMS<br />

alone will and could cause respiratory<br />

issues for locals, let alone the preschool<br />

practically bordering the quarry site.<br />

‘‘It will coat roofs, gardens, cars and<br />

roads and is going to make adrink at the<br />

Five Stags in summer, outside, anogo!’’<br />

The petition says increased heavy<br />

traffic on River Road will affect all<br />

locals who walk their dogs to the river,<br />

ride bikes, walk the Rakahuri track or go<br />

to the river for aswim.<br />

‘‘It will also make the intersection at<br />

the top of West Belt and River Road alot<br />

more dangerous to navigate with the<br />

increased truck activity.’’<br />

The petition outlines the proposal,<br />

which says the quarry will be limited to<br />

work around horse training and events.<br />

‘‘Who would want to be near it once the<br />

ground is opened and exposed? It also<br />

states they will cart gravel for 15 years,<br />

but it will be restricting the motor<br />

scraper to 30% activity per day and they<br />

could start at early as 7am Monday to<br />

Saturday.<br />

‘‘So, guess what, the noise will become<br />

afactor too! Awater cart will be used for<br />

dust suppression —sure, that’ll work<br />

just great on ahowling nor’wester!’’ Ms<br />

Dimmock­Rump says in her summary of<br />

the proposal.<br />

People signing the petition have<br />

voiced concerns about the impact on<br />

people’s health, the environment,<br />

people’s property rights, devaluation of<br />

properties and the dust nuisance.<br />

Afleece of colour ... Shirley Peddie’s champion fleece from aHawarden A&P Show.<br />

Acolourful woolly tale<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>Blackand<br />

Coloured SheepBreeders Association will<br />

hold its 22nd annual sale on Friday,<strong>July</strong> 31<br />

in the hall.<br />

Whilemembership has shrunk over the<br />

years, there willstillbe200 fleeces, from<br />

five members,upfor sale.<br />

Stalwarts Shirley Peddie,from Waikari,<br />

and JaniceWinter, from Kaiapoi,say<br />

crowds flock to buy fleeces to spin, card<br />

and knit.<br />

‘‘We breed for the spinning sideofthe<br />

wool.There are amazingcoloursfor sale,’’<br />

Shirley said. ‘‘We know whatpeople want<br />

and it is all this season’s freshwool.<br />

‘‘We are really very, very fussy,with our<br />

wool and theway we presenteach skirted<br />

fleece in an individual box at the sale.’’<br />

Shirley willhave around70Corriedale<br />

She says the sale is really the onlyoutlet<br />

for her wool, as beinginWaikarilimited<br />

the opportunities for her to sell it<br />

elsewhere to spinners and crafts people.<br />

Selling to awool buyer did notyield a<br />

realistic price. ‘‘If Ican’t sellthe wool<br />

there is no point in having the sheep.’’<br />

sideway glancesfrom those wondering<br />

why she had bought them. Her appetite<br />

was whetted and, today, she still enjoys<br />

black and coloured sheep, as well as<br />

selling and showing their fleeces.<br />

In with<br />

the<br />

New!<br />

Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken<br />

the opportunity to open their latest store incentral<br />

Christchurch –and it is certainly different from anything<br />

Christchurch shoppers have seen before.<br />

Target Furniture has had along-term presence in<br />

Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented<br />

the shopping experience for customers with this new<br />

concept store.<br />

The large, open store has gone and been replaced with<br />

ashowroom that encourages customers to explore and<br />

discover more asthey stroll through rooms that have<br />

been created to showcase the furniture. Target has<br />

partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours<br />

that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and<br />

these are incorporated into the displays.<br />

“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational<br />

and ahighlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says<br />

Rob.<br />

“The new store isaresult of significant local and<br />

international research, aconsiderable amount of recent<br />

experimentation in existing stores and feedback from<br />

customers,” says company director Rob Bielby.<br />

Technology is another innovative feature ofthe new<br />

store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of<br />

the signage is now digital, creating amore personalised<br />

message for customers and telling more about the<br />

Target story and the services they offer.<br />

Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR<br />

(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan<br />

the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to<br />

detailed information on the furniture, including sizes,<br />

materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the<br />

range.<br />

Brochures are also available with details of the different<br />

furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital,<br />

Rob says, while staff are always onhand to answer<br />

questions and offer advice.<br />

There isalso adigital kiosk equipped with computers<br />

where customers can log onto the Target website and<br />

view the 2500-plus products online, with images also<br />

displayed on Facebook and Instagram.<br />

“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer<br />

–digital and instore. Our point of difference is the<br />

experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping<br />

preferences –from totally digital to totally bricks and<br />

mortar.”

Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer<br />

experience, Rob adds.<br />

“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are<br />

committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our<br />

goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within<br />

10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland<br />

distribution centre.”<br />

Target Furniture islocated on the ground-floor level of the<br />

Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and<br />

Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the<br />

vicinity.<br />

“This encourages customers to the area as they have more<br />

options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do<br />

have achoice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi<br />

homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to<br />

add adash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm<br />

and aleg.<br />

“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture<br />

retail landscape making fashionable, practical and<br />

affordable furniture available to everyone in ashopping<br />

environment that surprises and delights.”<br />

Target Moorhouse is the first of the new-generation stores<br />

and the concept will be rolled out to all existing stores and<br />

new stores that are planned.<br />

High country track<br />

reopens in October<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Covid­19 andthe closing of the borders has<br />

opened up an opportunity for peopletosee<br />

adiverse rangeof<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

landscapes and vegetation.<br />

The formerHurunui High Country<br />

Trackhas beenre­opened as the Island<br />

HillsStation Track thankstothe efforts of<br />

ShaunMonk, along­time friendofthe<br />

station’s owners, Dan and Mandy Shand.<br />

Shaun, who has spent alifetimeoffering<br />

backcountryand bush adventures all over<br />

New Zealand, suddenly found the overseas<br />

clientelehetargeted had dried up with the<br />

Covid­19 response.<br />

He knew he hadtochange direction<br />

quickly, so approached the Shandstosee if<br />

he could re­open the trackthey had closed<br />

abouteight yearsago, when station life<br />

became too busy because of otherprojects<br />

and family.<br />

‘‘We had ahoney business in Waipara<br />

whichgrew quite abit, andthen there<br />

were children and we weredoing afew<br />

otherthingswhich became very timeconsuming,<br />

so we closed the track,’’ Dan<br />

says.<br />

However, when Shaun, who had been<br />

targeting the Australianand other<br />

overseasmarkets for father­and­son bush<br />

and hunting adventures,approached them<br />

to re­openthe track, theybacked the idea.<br />

Dan says Shaun and agroup of<br />

volunteers begancutting tracksand<br />

improved the two and three­dayoptions<br />

whichmeander through the high country<br />

farmland and privatenative forest<br />

reserves.<br />

Accommodation is provided along the<br />

way.<br />

Shaun’s wide knowledge on wildlife,<br />

plants, conservation, bushcraft, mountain<br />

safety and New Zealand’s unique history<br />

are an added extra whilewalking the trails<br />

or relaxing around the campfire.<br />

Adventurous children and dogs,who<br />

must meetstrictcriteria, arewelcome.<br />

The walks startjust 20 minutes inland<br />

from the historic Hurunui Hotelonthe<br />

way to HanmerSprings.<br />

The self­guided privatetrail covers<br />

30km and can be managed over two or<br />

threedays.<br />

Although high in themountains, the<br />

placement of the track makes it suitable<br />

for anyone with areasonable level of<br />

fitness andwalking ability.<br />

The three­day walk is the most popular,<br />

with two­day options for those withless<br />

time and alittle more fitness.<br />

The track is limitedto10people each<br />

day who are guaranteed abed each night.<br />

Adetailed pamphlet of information is<br />

provided about the surrounding wildlife,<br />

stories about IslandHills, and amap<br />

showing points of interest.<br />

The journeybegins at the cookhouse,<br />

wherehikers are met by the dutytrack<br />

ranger for abriefing. They are then taken<br />

by four­wheeldrive to the start of the track.<br />

Packsare transportedtothe next<br />

accommodation, although day packsare<br />

needed forlunches, water and extra<br />

‘‘This is beingdeveloped as a<br />

pathway to encourage and<br />

provide incentives for<br />

landowners to protect<br />

biodiverse areas.’’<br />

Asurvey of landowners with<br />

listed significant natural areas<br />

foundthat most would respond<br />

well to incentives, but there<br />

were different views about<br />

what incentives would appeal.<br />

Somelandowners believed<br />

their natural areas were well<br />

looked after, capable of<br />

‘‘looking afteritself’’ or was<br />

‘‘too overgrowntobeworth<br />

doing any additional<br />

maintenance’’,astaff report<br />

says.<br />

The council soughtfeedback<br />

on transferabledevelopment<br />

rights andsubdivision<br />

incentives, which are<br />

commonly usedby<strong>North</strong><br />

Island councils,but around 80<br />

percent of respondents had no<br />

knowledge of these options.<br />

Asubdivisionincentive<br />

would allowfor the<br />

development of a‘‘bonus lot’’<br />

in exchange for protecting a<br />

natural areainperpetuity,<br />

while transferable development<br />

rights allowed a<br />

landowner to sell the rightto<br />

subdivide in an open market.<br />

Some landownerswere<br />

opposed to theseincentives,<br />

citingconcern overadverse<br />

effects to rural character.<br />

Otherswere open to the idea<br />

of subdivision incentives and<br />

some wanted more<br />

information.<br />

The survey findings found<br />

that ‘‘monitoring requirements<br />

associated with subdivision<br />

incentives didnot put landowners<br />

off’’, the reportsaid.<br />

One landowner indicated<br />

some positive feedback would<br />

provide the biggestincentive,<br />

whileanother alreadyhad<br />

land under aQE2 covenant.<br />

Extrapest traps,funding for<br />

fencing and waiving consent<br />

fees were also suggested by<br />

landowners as incentives.<br />

Respondents also asked for<br />

more support with planting.<br />

The proposal still needs to go<br />

through theDistrict Plan<br />

process,sothere will be<br />

opportunities forresidentsto<br />

Peketa and the Paratitahi Tunnels will look<br />

like when complete. The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Transport Infrastructure Recovery alliance<br />

aims to finish its Kaikoura work by the end<br />

of the year.<br />

Final push on projects<br />

Work to strengthen Kaikoura’s roading<br />

network remains on tracktobecompleted<br />

by the end of theyear.<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Transport<br />

Infrastructure Recovery(NCTIR)alliance<br />

is set to officially wrapupits construction<br />

works,whichbegan afterthe November<br />

20<strong>16</strong> earthquake,onDecember 15.<br />

Project director Tony Gallaghersays the<br />

work has comealong way sincethe<br />

earthquake.<br />

‘‘By 2017wehad reopened vital<br />

transport connections, with freight trains<br />

returning in September, and State<br />

Highway 1reopened by December.<br />

‘‘Since then, our teams have been<br />

working to strengthen the corridor for<br />

futuregenerations,’’ Mr Gallagher says.<br />

Last month,NCTIR hit six million work<br />

hours on the project, withmore than 9000<br />

peopleinvolved since work began.<br />

‘‘Thisrepresents ahuge amount of<br />

human effort and we want to makeevery<br />

hour count by creatingsomethingweare<br />

proud of, and that the Kaikoura<br />

community can be proud of forthe next<br />

100 years.’’<br />

Two large projects remaintobe<br />

completed, including apermanent<br />

rockfallprotection canopy to be installed<br />

southofPeketaand stabilisation works<br />

near the SouthBay Racecourse.<br />

‘‘It’s abusy time, and we appreciate<br />

people’spatience and ongoing supportas<br />

we reach the home stretch. The<br />

countdown is on to December 15,’’Mr<br />

Gallagher says.<br />

NCTIRhas started work to reconstruct<br />

and realign asection of SH1 above the<br />

racecourse, where an earthquakedamaged<br />

retaining wall has slumped.<br />

The realignment work willrun between<br />

the intersections of South Bay Paradeand<br />

Killarney St, with the roadbeingmoved<br />

over by the width of one laneinsome<br />

sections.<br />

Safety improvements alongthis stretch<br />

will include anew left­turning bay into<br />

SouthBay Parade, afootpath/cyclewayon<br />

the southbound side of the highway,<br />

widening the road embankments and side<br />

protection.<br />

Initially,the team will cut outthe old<br />

embankmentand rebuild it wider.Then a<br />

two metrehigh temporary retainingwall,<br />

known as apreload, will be builtalongside<br />

the top of the northbound lane.<br />

This preload spans 240 metresand the<br />

weightofit willallow the land to settlein<br />

preparation for theconstruction of anew<br />

lane.<br />

The preload is expected to be removed<br />

in September, when finalroading can<br />

begin.<br />

New rockfall protectionisbeing<br />

installed around arockfall­prone corner<br />

south of Kaikoura to improve thelongterm<br />

safety between Peketa and the<br />

Paratitahi Tunnels.<br />

More than 70 rockfall incidents have<br />

been recorded in this area sincethe 20<strong>16</strong><br />

earthquake, with the mostrecent beingin<br />

February.<br />

It resulted in thehighway being closed<br />

to trafficovernight.<br />

The agreed solution for this 325­metre<br />

section of roadconsists of three parts,<br />

including asix metre high canopyto<br />

redirect fallingrock to asafe zone away<br />

from the road,meshing and one­metre­tall<br />

barriers.<br />

Apassion for regenerative<br />

being held tomorrow (Friday).<br />

The idea came after Sky<br />

attended aregenerative<br />

agriculture conference at<br />

Lincoln University in March.<br />

‘‘I thought, why not bring<br />

these people to Kaikoura?<br />

‘‘I have no hidden agenda.<br />

It’s just me sharing my passion<br />

for regenerative agriculture<br />

and about how we can<br />

implement it on­farm.<br />

‘‘I have worked in the<br />

industry and I’ve heard all the<br />

concerns from farmers and I<br />

thought ‘we can’t just keep<br />

going on like this’.’’<br />

She established aFacebook<br />

page, Agregenz —<br />

Regenerative Agriculture NZ,<br />

and started aconversation.<br />

‘‘I thought that it would be a<br />

field day with half adozen<br />

farmers turning up, but there<br />

seems to be an appetite for<br />

what we are talking about.<br />

‘‘We’ve probably only got 10<br />

people from Kaikoura coming<br />

and the rest are coming from<br />

all over, which is good, but it’s<br />

pretty exciting to be able to<br />

offer something like this for<br />

Kaikoura. It’s about getting<br />

people together to have a<br />

conversation.’’<br />

<strong>North</strong> Island farmer Peter<br />

Barrett, of Linnburn Station,<br />

an exponent of regenerative<br />

agriculture, appeared on<br />

Country Calendar in April and<br />

Sky believes this helped spark<br />

some interest.<br />

The event kicks off with<br />

registration at 10.15am.<br />

It has support from the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> Rural Support<br />

Trust and industry groups, she<br />

says.<br />

Farmer looks to diversification<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Rural sectordiversityisthe<br />

key to supporting<strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>’s Covid­19<br />

recovery, says Cameron<br />

Henderson.<br />

Speaking afterthe recent<br />

Waimakariri Jobs Summit, the<br />

Federated Farmers<strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>president said he<br />

was thrilled to hearthe<br />

speakers talking up the<br />

contribution of the ruralsector<br />

in challengingtimes, with new<br />

opportunities such as growing<br />

hemp and manuka oil.<br />

‘‘It was really interestingto<br />

hear some verypositive<br />

comments about the<br />

importance of agriculture.<br />

‘‘I thinkfarmersare looking<br />

for new opportunities. They<br />

see thatalot of whatthey are<br />

doing at the momentprobably<br />

does have alimited lifeand it’s<br />

agood business measure to<br />

diversify.’’<br />

There was alot of interest<br />

among farmers in growing<br />

hemp and cannabis, and Mr<br />

Hendersonsaidhewould be<br />

watching thisyear’s cannabis<br />

referendum with interest.<br />

Cameron Henderson ... Farmers are looking for new opportunities, he says.<br />

‘‘It grows reallywell in<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>. Ithink the growing<br />

ability’s not the challenge. It’s<br />

goingtobehow much we can<br />

sell and who’s going to do it.<br />

‘‘I’mnot saying whichway I<br />

wouldvote, but as with all<br />

agricultureinNew Zealand,<br />

it’s the export marketthat<br />

makesthe difference, so<br />

regardless of what happens in<br />

New Zealand there is a<br />

growing market overseas,<br />

particularlyinmedicinal and<br />

non­drug products,and the<br />

fibre content.’’<br />

Cannabis as arotation crop<br />

could complementany farming<br />

practice, Mr Hendersonsays.<br />

The ruralsectorwas facing<br />

challenges with overseas<br />

migrant labour not as readily<br />

available, but he was<br />

heartenedbythe interest<br />

among skilled New Zealanders<br />

looking for acareer change.<br />

‘‘It is internal migration and<br />

24 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>July</strong> <strong>16</strong>, <strong>2020</strong><br />

Fluid Kaiapoi side in convincing win<br />

By LINDSAY KERR and<br />

PETER WILLIAMS<br />

Kaiapoi maintainedits season’s<br />

momentumwith another<br />

convincing 44­10win overa<br />

plucky Ashley side in the latest<br />

round of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

premier rugby.<br />

Both teams had apositive<br />

mindset and afluent,freeflowing<br />

match ensued.<br />

Kaiapoi was dominant in all<br />

aspectsexcept goal­kicking.<br />

Despite trying acouple of goalkickers,<br />

it was not untilthe side<br />

scored its seventhtry thatone<br />

was converted.<br />

Ashley,onthe other hand,<br />

courtesyofKorbyn Gray, kicked<br />

an early penalty andconverted<br />

the only try Ashleyscored.<br />

Kaiapoi’s backs again looked<br />

dangerous as aunit. They were<br />

wellserved by Codey Grimes at<br />

halfback, whileDante Love and<br />

Rob Samson both continued<br />

their rich vein of form and Shak<br />

Bassi on the wing madethe most<br />

of arare starting opportunity.<br />

The Kaiapoi backs are getting<br />

their chancesbecause the<br />

forwards are providingthem<br />

witharegular supplyofquality<br />

ball. The tight fiveall played<br />

their part, with Nacanieli<br />

Namata in particularquite<br />

outstanding.<br />

Anotherfeature of the team’s<br />

playisthat its players are<br />

constantlymakingthemselves<br />

available in support of the ball<br />

carrier,enabling acontinuity<br />

of play to be achieved. Jarrod<br />

Smith was arguablybestinthis<br />

respect.<br />

Credit to Ohoka<br />

Ohoka travelled deepinto<br />

emerged with considerable<br />

creditafter sending ashockwave<br />

through the campofits more<br />

fancied rivals camp, holdingthe<br />

side to a17­alldraw.<br />

However, despite its spirited<br />

effortagainst the defending<br />

champions, Ohoka still finds<br />

itselfinadifficult position on the<br />

competition tablewith only three<br />

weekendsofround­robin<br />

competitionremaining.<br />

This was aclashinwhich<br />

Glenmark gained mostofthe ball<br />

and territory, but struggled to<br />

finishmany promising<br />

movements.<br />

Ohoka produced achampion<br />

effortondefenceand made the<br />

most of its scoringchances.<br />

The sides were locked 10­all at<br />

half­time and, nearing full­time,<br />

it was 17­all. Then,along range<br />

Comeback win<br />

Oxford camefrom 13­21 behind<br />

to beat Hurunui 30­27 in ahardfought<br />

but disruptive game at<br />

Culverden.<br />

Hurunui’s momentum was not<br />

helpedwhen it lost centre<br />

HunterJohnsonwith a<br />

dislocated hip. He was not moved<br />

and was taken to hospitalby<br />

rescuehelicopter.<br />

While Hurunuilooked the<br />

betterside in the opening<br />

exchanges, Oxfordwas amore<br />

committedunit in the second<br />

spell,scoring three tries in that<br />

time.<br />

With time beckoning, there was<br />

confusion in the Hurunui ranks.<br />

Its players thoughtthat apenalty<br />

had won the side the game, only<br />

to findthey were stillfour points<br />

behind.<br />

The accurate boot of Angus<br />

Mitchell and Dan Brooker, who<br />

scored two tries, headed the<br />

Oxford comeback.Inhis first<br />

start, Tom Chamberlain had a<br />

useful gameatlock.<br />

Joyless weekend for Rangiora<br />

HOCKEY<br />

Rangiora’s senior hockey<br />

teams did not fare well over<br />

the weekend, with several<br />

playersaway during the<br />

school holidays.<br />

The Rangiora Hurunui<br />

mid­week women were the<br />

only team to claim full points<br />

with awin against Harewood<br />

—the side’s first win of the<br />

season.<br />

The ever­improving<br />

Rangiora CBK Division 1men<br />

did well to restrict second­onthe­table<br />

Carlton Redcliffs to<br />

a2­all draw.<br />

But that was all the points<br />

that Rangiora Hockey Club<br />

teams could muster.<br />

Despite abrace of goals to<br />

Macy Neale, the Rangiora<br />

CBK Division 1women could<br />

not edge Carlton Redcliffs in<br />

atense and close battle,<br />

finishing down by one.<br />

The Division 2and 3<br />

women’s teams also lost, but<br />

weren't helped by new<br />

playersbeing called into the<br />

teams because of holiday<br />

absences.<br />

The Rangiora Allsorts midweek<br />

men were their own<br />

worst enemies in alacklustre<br />

performance against the<br />

Hornby Rebels.Few chances<br />

were forthcoming for<br />

Rangiora, and when they did<br />

the goals went begging.<br />

Kiwi Sticks and Mini Sticks<br />

junior hockey starts this<br />

weekend, with six­a­side<br />

games at the Dudley Park turf<br />

and the Kaiapoi High School<br />

turf.<br />

Ball tussle ... Krystalena Roberts, in green and gold, in action for the Rangiora Division 2Women’s team.<br />

RangioraHockey Club has<br />

several boys’ andgirls’ teams<br />

in both of these competitions.<br />

The club also has agroup of<br />

young umpiresstarting this<br />

weekendinthese grades.<br />

It is probably the greatest<br />

number of new umpiresthe<br />

club has seen for several<br />

years.<br />

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)<br />

THE FALLEN ANGEL MYTH<br />

Most religions teach of afallen angel or ‘evil one’, who<br />

desires to cause man to take an opposing course to what<br />

God’s word reveals. Is this atrueand reliable belief?<br />

The Bible states in Hebrews 2:14 -For as much then as<br />

the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also<br />

himself likewise took part ofthe same, that through death<br />

he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is,<br />

the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were<br />

all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not<br />

on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed<br />

of Abraham.<br />

Taking this as atrue statement, that God is not aliar, then<br />

whatever the ‘devil’ is it was destroyed two thousand years<br />

ago. This is averyinteresting subject as it impacts how we<br />

view the message of hope from the Bible.<br />
