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 />

Volunteers sought<br />

charity, andisrun as anonprofit<br />
organisation staffed by<br />
volunteers.<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 />
the team, Dan.’’<br />
Cr Blackie saidifthe mayor had to take<br />
apay cut, all elected members should<br />
take one of the samepercentage.<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 />

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 />
But plentyinthe Cabinet’sfinal<br />
decisions are still ineffective or<br />
unworkable, suchasthe requirement to resow<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 />
have thrown democracy out<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 />

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 />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The Anglican Church HallatAmberley<br />
will take on adecidedlywoolly<br />
appearancelaterthis month.<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 />
and Romney fleeces for sale.<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 />
Her flock is the resultofdecadesof<br />
breeding,takingover the flockfrom her<br />
mother.<br />
Janiceboughther first black sheep at<br />
Addington as ayoung girl, attracting<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 />
The pairknow whatthey wantasfar as<br />
wool goes, and select ramsand hoggetsto<br />
provide that.<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 />

Conservation incentives proposed<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Waimakariri District<br />
Council is considering offering<br />
landowners incentives to help<br />
protect biodiversity as part of<br />
its District Plan Review.<br />
Councillorslastweek<br />
approved in principal a<br />
proposal to offer aresource<br />
consent pathway for ‘‘bonus<br />
lots’’ and additionalhousingon<br />
ruralzoned land to offsetthe<br />
costsofprotecting indigenous<br />
biodiversity.<br />
Staffwill now draft achapter<br />
as partofthe council’s District<br />
Plan review.<br />
‘‘Council staff have been<br />
investigating how to best<br />
manage the ongoing declineof<br />
indigenousbiodiversity<br />
through the District Plan<br />
review process,’’ Mayor Dan<br />
Gordon says.<br />
‘‘Thecouncilapproved the<br />
development of achapter in<br />
the upcoming draft District<br />
Plan to provide incentives for<br />
protecting areas of biodiversity<br />
by allowingsubdivisionand<br />
development incentives, as<br />
well as ‘bonus lots’and<br />
‘transferable development<br />
rights’.<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 />
Conservation plan ... Native bush on afarm. Landowners could be offered incentives to protect<br />
biodiversity under aWaimakariri District Council proposal.<br />
PHOTO: SUPPLIED<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 />
have theirsay, Mr Gordon says.<br />

Morethan1000 square metresof<br />

out of the springfedstream.<br />
Two additionalsprings and five<br />

AKaikoura fencer, landownerand local<br />

‘‘There aresome springs in there,<br />

Innovative design ... An artist’s<br />
impression of what major works between<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 />
it is alifestyle change. You are<br />
movingout into an environment<br />
you’renot familiar with<br />
and you are movingfamilies<br />
and you can feelthat senseof<br />
isolation,but if you talkto<br />
peoplewho have done it, they<br />
say it’s the best thingthey’ve<br />
ever done.’’<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 />
GlenmarkCheviotterritoryand<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 />
Scorers: Oxford 30 (Matthew<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 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 />
