Relaxingthe rulesaroundthe
growingofcannabis plantscould
create 20,000 jobsnationally
within five years, industry
backers say.
Canterbury is at the heart of
the country’s fledgling cannabis
industry throughthe growing of
the lesspotent variety, hemp.
However, it is hamperedbythe
current law which still classifies
thisindustrial varietyofthe
cannabisplant as aharmful drug.
However, hemp contains onlya
fraction of the psychoactive
substances found in marijuana.
Brad Lake, acofounder of
SouthIslandhemp producer The
Brothers Green, says avote to
legalise cannabis in this
September’s referendum will
likely see an easing of
restrictionsaround the growing
of cannabis and its hemp cousin,
as new legislation willbe
required to change the cannabis
laws.
Suchamove couldcreate
20,000 jobswithin five years,with
Canterburyfarmers leading the
way,MrLake says.
With tens of thousands of
people expected to be
unemployedbythe end of the
year becauseofCovid19,now is
the time for change, he says.
“The opportunities are just
phenomenal, particularly for
young people who can really
grasp the potential.
“It’s young people we are
puttingatrisk if we don’tget in
behindthem and get some
reformaroundcannabis.”
Under the existing legal
framework,MrLake says afullspectrum
hemp oil, CBD
(cannabidiol) is imported from
Canadaasaprescription
medicine for treating arthritis,
skin conditions and anxiety, with
patients payingapremium.

Vandals enter ward
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Avalued map was torn in two
and windows and doors
broken by vandals in the
Chisholm Ward of the former
Queen Mary Hospital
recently.
The handdrawn layout of
the Chisholm ward was
wrenched from its frame,
which was also wrecked,
after agroup of young people
entered the building and
caused about $2500 of
damage.
The drawing is not as old as
first believed, probably being
drawn in the 1960s or 70s.
Fortunately, acopy is held
securely in the Hurunui
District Council’s archives.
A19yearold Rangiora
resident, who was part of the
group, has been arrested for
entering the ward. He will be
given achance to pay for the
damage, or could face
prosecution.
The alarm sounded after
the group broke into the
vacant hospital ward, which
resulted in police arresting
one offender. The others fled
before police arrived.
However, recently
installed security cameras
served their purpose and
Hanmer Security have clear
footage of all the offenders.
During the past six months
there have been three breakins
at the former Queen Mary
Cannabis could generate 20,000 jobs

“It’s so simple to makeand it’s just aplant

Canterbury, but we’re not allowed to use
that part of the plant.”
The state of Colorado, in the United
States, whichhas asimilar population to
New Zealand and legalisedcannabis six
years ago, now has acannabis industry
employing 35,000 people.
Last year,the state government
collected $320 million intaxes, Mr Lake
said.
“But in New Zealand, we don’t collect
any tax from cannabis and we have the
expense of resourcing the policeto
enforce the law.
“By turning it into ahealth issuerather
than acrime, you can control the quality,

smashed windows.
Ayear ago agroup of
offenders were prosecuted
after they caused $7000
worth of damage by kicking
in four rimu doors in the
Soldiers’ Block.
Hanmer Security general
manager Marc Tansey says
the constant breakins and
vandalism are frustrating
and heartbreaking.
“Leave this place alone
and show it some respect.
‘‘There’s such history
the use and who is at risk.”
Last year, 100 hectares of farmland
near Culverden wasconverted to hemp,
whileMidCanterbury companies
Carrfieldsand Midlands are bothgrowing
more than500ha, all supplying The
Brothers Green.
Being adeeprooted plant, hemp can
access mineralsinthe soil which other
plants cannot reach,making it ahighly
regenerative crop. It creates adiversity of
productsfor farmers and an additional
incomesource, Mr Lake says.
Canterbury is the best place to grow
hempas“we are just so blessed with
water and irrigation”, and there is
support for the fledgling industry at
Canterbury and Lincoln universities, he
says.
“Weare working with the universities

here,” Mr Tansey said.
The Hurunui District
Council’s chief strategy and
community officer, Judith
Batchelor, said the doors,
worth $1000 each, are yet to
be replaced and the
damaged areas are currently
boarded up.
“The grounds of the
Hospital are still
maintained, but the
unoccupied buildings have
sadly been atarget,” she
said. “It’s mindless
vandalism.”

decisions.”
Mr Lakesays he cannot think of another
plant “that could create so many
opportunities”ashemp: anything from
food, fibre, oil, medication andeven a
natural alternative to plastic. There is a
growing export market, he says.
Growing hemp could also help
Canterbury farms become carbon neutral,
he says.
Research indicates dairy farmers who
convert 10 percent of their farm into
hempcould reduce carbon emissions by
at least 50%.
“So, if you converted 20% of your farm,
you could effectively becomecarbon
neutral, and what does that do for our

Town plans: ‘Good
things take time’
By DAVID HILL
Uncertainty aroundCovid19 has
prompted theWaimakaririDistrict
Council to monitor howitimplementsits

Councillorslast week voted to adopt the
Rangiora Town CentreStrategy andto
establishaworkinggroup to oversee the
implementationofthe Rangiora and
Kaiapoitowncentre plans, and to address
any impactsfrom Covid19.
The latestKaiapoi TownCentre
Strategy was adoptedinDecember2018.
Crs Joan Ward, KirstynBarnettand
NevilleAtkinson, RangioraAshley
Community Board chairmanJim Gerard
and KaiapoiTuahiwiCommunity Board
chairwoman Chris Greengrasswere
appointed to the working group.
Cr Ward,who is thecouncil’stown

workinggroup, saysshe is excited about
the projects proposedfor thetwo towns.
‘‘Both Rangiora’sand Kaiapoi’s
promotionsgroups aregoing fullsteam
ahead and Enterprise North Canterbury
has been doinganamazingjob in assisting
businesses through Covid19.
‘‘Weare alllooking forward to seeing
lots of new projects andwejust need to
getthemall under waysowecan create
jobs and look after our people.
‘‘My biggestproblemisIwant themall
to happen now, butgoodthings take time.’’
Oneofthe challenges facing thedistrict
is ensuringthere is enough
accommodation to support projects such
as StadiumWaimakariri, theproposed
aquasportspark in Kaiapoi and
promotingthe district as avisitor
destination.
‘‘Thestadium is exiting anditwill bring

women’s FootballWorldCup coming to
NewZealand, wouldn’titbegreat to have
ateampractising in the Waimakariri?
‘‘Butweneed theaccommodation.’’

theRangiora strategy.
‘‘Oursubmissionsupportedall of the
areas theywanted to enhance...butwe
do agree with someofthe submitters who
said theparkingstrategy needs to be
enhanced andsome longterm parking
optionsneed to be considered.
‘‘Overall it soundsquite exciting andit
givesussome key areas to focus on,’’ he
said.
Mayor to
take cut
in pay
By DAVID HILL
The mayor’s salary, Covid19 recovery
and sustainability dominated
discussions during last weekend’s
Waimakariri District Councilmeeting.
Councillorsvoted 64 against accepting
acouncil report explaining that a
RemunerationAuthority decision would
see Mayor Dan Gordon’s salary cut by
nearly $7000 to $130,625for the next six
months because of Covid19. This
equates to a10percent reduction.
But the outcome was never in doubt, as
the authority had already decreed that
all elected membersreceiving asalary of
more than$100,000 were to receive acut,
underlegislationpassed in May.
Mr Gordon voted in support of his own
pay cut,but Deputy MayorNeville
Atkinson, Crs Al Blackie, Philip
Redmond and Joan Ward spokeout
against it.
‘‘I believeit’s the wrong thing to do to
someone whenyou are leading the
community in acrisis,’’ Cr Atkinsonsaid.
Cr Redmond added:‘‘I think most
people are working harder to get us
through this crisis ...Ithink it’s
unfortunate thatyou are taking one for
the team, Dan.’’
Cr Blackie saidifthe mayor had to take
apay cut, all elected members should
take one of the samepercentage.
Business and town centresmanager

efforts to develop aCovid19recovery
plan,noting agood response fromthe
‘‘Share an Idea’’campaign, which ended
on July3.‘‘Our sitehad 553 total visits

‘‘A lot of the ideas were around events,

that we need to look at thingswhich

Mr Hartsaid 29% of respondents saw
the wellbeing of residents as thetop

with 25% identifying development sector

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
One has to admire the
imagination of the overworked
creative minds at our
Waimakariri District Council
who work out all these
wonderfulsounding titles for
positions of seemingly inflated
importance. Such roles create
nothing but expense for the
longsuffering ratepayer, in my
view.
The latest crop took the cake:
Those attending afunction at a
supermarket had the longwinded
titles of social services
Waimakariri coordinator,
council community
development facilitator and
community team manager.
Dare Isay that grandiose
titles may entitle these positions
to grandiose salaries?
My mind boggles.
Yours,
C.R. Read

What is happening to our democracy?
By DANIELMAXWELL, FederatedFarmers
North Canterbury Meat and Woolchairman
Farmers who believe in democracy and
fairness, and feel thatmoves to lessen our
environmental footprint need to be
tempered withwhat is practical and
affordable, will be shaking their heads at
the recentaction of the Government.
You could accurately say they have
thrown democracy out thewindowwith the
freshwater.
In the face of amajority of 17,000
submissions pointing out major pitfalls in
its original EssentialFreshwater package
last year, some of the proposals that would
have been most destructive of farmer
livelihoods werewound back abit.
But plentyinthe Cabinet’sfinal
decisions are still ineffective or
unworkable, suchasthe requirement to resow
awinter crop paddock within30days,
and no winter cropping on aslope greater
than 10 degrees, among many others.

The challenges of

By JOANNE GUMBRELL, chair of the
Agefriendly Waimakariri Advisory Group
Someofwhat is happeningtoday
reminds me of Customer First, the name
of aproject Iworked onfor alocal
authority in Britain.
Thename speaksfor itself.
Thecustomer was at the centre of our
services. We asked them what they
wanted, rather thantell them what we

In line with council key priorities,the
WaimakaririAgefriendly Advisory

we knew about gaps for older folk,
particularlyduringlockdown.

interested parties, including SeniorNet
and theCitizensAdvice Bureau, to
explore ways to help our olderresidents.
Banking is difficult forsome folk now,
with everything being done digitally.
Gone are the days when we could take
our bills to the bankand someone would
pay them for us.

best way for alot ofpeople,especially
younger ones born intothe computer
world. But it is much harder for some
older people.
Many older people worry about their
money and getting their bills paid.Will
thepowerbecut off? Whatwillhappen
to my insurance? Asking for help is not
easy, either. Some think they might be
seen as afailure.
Covid19 changed the order ofmany
things.The huge volunteer force of older
people has dwindled.
The advisorygroupwonders if perhaps
younger individuals made redundant
could take on some of these roles while
looking for employment. There are many
plusses for intergenerational
interaction, which is disappearing as the
world gets busier and housing is
categorised into age groups.
There are also older folk living
isolated lives in the community. Do you

made new friends? Chat with an oldie.
We appreciate it and it can be fun.
stuck with the latter anyway.
Now we findout that the Government
inserted clauses in the Resource
Management Act amendment legislation
after the final select committee stage to
makeclimate change aconsideration in
resource consent hearings.
Thiswas despite assurancesthat the
amendment bill wouldstick to narrowly
focused issues ahead of the pending and
wellsignalled overhaul of the Resource
Management Act.This quite underhand
way of bypassingdue processdenied the
public,stakeholders, councils, and
resource users any chance forasay.
There was no opportunitytosubmit,
providehearing evidence, or considerany
costbenefit or regulatory impact analysis.
Fromagovernment that claimstobe

Petition opposes
quarry proposal
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Apetition opposing aquarry at the
Rangiora Racecourse is gaining
momentum.
When the North Canterbury News went
to print, 1700 people had signed the
Change.org petition within two days of it
being set up by Tracey DimmockRump.
She aims to get 2500 signatures in
opposition to aresource consent
application to quarry 700,000 cubic
metres of material over a15year period
inside the track at the racecourse and in
an outer area to the northeast.
She plans on presenting the petition to
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon.
The North Canterbury News reported
on July 2that aresource consent had
been lodged with the Waimakariri
District Council and that several West
Belt residents were angry about the
proposal. Their concerns centre around
its impact on their lives, property values
and retirement plans.
Council regulation manager Nick
Harrison said the consent was in its
infancy and staff were seeking more
information from Taggart Earthmoving
Ltd on its application.
The petition says aquarry will affect
everyone living in Arlington and West
Rangiora.
It asserts all houses, businesses,
preschools and parks will be affected by
dust and silt from the quarry. ‘‘The dust
THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION
AND REFERENDUMS
alone will and could cause respiratory
issues for locals, let alone the preschool
practically bordering the quarry site.
‘‘It will coat roofs, gardens, cars and
roads and is going to make adrink at the
Five Stags in summer, outside, anogo!’’
The petition says increased heavy
traffic on River Road will affect all
locals who walk their dogs to the river,
ride bikes, walk the Rakahuri track or go
to the river for aswim.
‘‘It will also make the intersection at
the top of West Belt and River Road alot
more dangerous to navigate with the
increased truck activity.’’
The petition outlines the proposal,
which says the quarry will be limited to
work around horse training and events.
‘‘Who would want to be near it once the
ground is opened and exposed? It also
states they will cart gravel for 15 years,
but it will be restricting the motor
scraper to 30% activity per day and they
could start at early as 7am Monday to
Saturday.
‘‘So, guess what, the noise will become
afactor too! Awater cart will be used for
dust suppression —sure, that’ll work
just great on ahowling nor’wester!’’ Ms
DimmockRump says in her summary of
the proposal.
People signing the petition have
voiced concerns about the impact on
people’s health, the environment,
people’s property rights, devaluation of
properties and the dust nuisance.
Afleece of colour ... Shirley Peddie’s champion fleece from aHawarden A&P Show.
Acolourful woolly tale
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The Anglican Church HallatAmberley

The North CanterburyBlackand
Coloured SheepBreeders Association will
hold its 22nd annual sale on Friday,July 31
in the hall.
Whilemembership has shrunk over the

five members,upfor sale.
Stalwarts Shirley Peddie,from Waikari,
and JaniceWinter, from Kaiapoi,say
crowds flock to buy fleeces to spin, card
and knit.
‘‘We breed for the spinning sideofthe
wool.There are amazingcoloursfor sale,’’
Shirley said. ‘‘We know whatpeople want
and it is all this season’s freshwool.
‘‘We are really very, very fussy,with our
wool and theway we presenteach skirted
fleece in an individual box at the sale.’’
Shirley willhave around70Corriedale

She says the sale is really the onlyoutlet
for her wool, as beinginWaikarilimited
the opportunities for her to sell it
elsewhere to spinners and crafts people.
Selling to awool buyer did notyield a
realistic price. ‘‘If Ican’t sellthe wool
there is no point in having the sheep.’’
Her flock is the resultofdecadesof
breeding,takingover the flockfrom her
mother.
Janiceboughther first black sheep at
Addington as ayoung girl, attracting
sideway glancesfrom those wondering
why she had bought them. Her appetite

In with
the
New!
Well-known furniture retailer Target Furniture has taken
the opportunity to open their latest store incentral
Christchurch –and it is certainly different from anything
Christchurch shoppers have seen before.
Target Furniture has had along-term presence in
Christchurch and has now relocated and reinvented
the shopping experience for customers with this new
concept store.
The large, open store has gone and been replaced with
ashowroom that encourages customers to explore and
discover more asthey stroll through rooms that have
been created to showcase the furniture. Target has
partnered with Resene to illustrate the types of colours
that are proving popular in New Zealand homes, and
these are incorporated into the displays.
“Furniture shopping should be fun, easy, inspirational
and ahighlight of the customer’s shopping year,” says
Rob.
“The new store isaresult of significant local and
international research, aconsiderable amount of recent
experimentation in existing stores and feedback from
customers,” says company director Rob Bielby.
Technology is another innovative feature ofthe new
store. Unlike traditional ticketing and signage, most of
the signage is now digital, creating amore personalised
message for customers and telling more about the
Target story and the services they offer.
Target is one of the first major retailers to use QR
(Quick Response) labels. This allows customers to scan
the ticket on their phone to get immediate access to
detailed information on the furniture, including sizes,
materials, guarantees, availability, and other items in the
range.
Brochures are also available with details of the different
furniture ranges for customers not wanting to go digital,
Rob says, while staff are always onhand to answer
questions and offer advice.
There isalso adigital kiosk equipped with computers
where customers can log onto the Target website and
view the 2500-plus products online, with images also
displayed on Facebook and Instagram.
“We aim to highlight all the shopping options we offer
–digital and instore. Our point of difference is the
experience and we cater for all our customers’ shopping
preferences –from totally digital to totally bricks and
mortar.”
Prompt delivery is an important part of the customer
experience, Rob adds.
“We have invested in our own fleet of trucks and are
committed to regular weekly deliveries in Christchurch. Our
goal is to have furniture delivered into Christchurch within
10 days of being ordered, if it is available in our Auckland
distribution centre.”
Target Furniture islocated on the ground-floor level of the
Spotlight building on the corner of Moorhouse Avenue and
Durham Street, with several other furniture outlets in the
vicinity.
“This encourages customers to the area as they have more
options to look at,” Rob says, “and while customers do
have achoice, we believe we know how to buy for Kiwi
homes, and offer furniture that gives people the chance to
add adash of luxury to their home without it costing an arm
and aleg.
“Target is determined to shake up the traditional furniture
retail landscape making fashionable, practical and
affordable furniture available to everyone in ashopping
environment that surprises and delights.”
Target Moorhouse is the first of the new-generation stores
and the concept will be rolled out to all existing stores and
new stores that are planned.

Back country ... Island Hills Valley camp, which provides some of the accommodation

High country track
reopens in October
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Covid19 andthe closing of the borders has
opened up an opportunity for peopletosee
adiverse rangeofNorth Canterbury
landscapes and vegetation.
The formerHurunui High Country
Trackhas beenreopened as the Island
HillsStation Track thankstothe efforts of
ShaunMonk, alongtime friendofthe
station’s owners, Dan and Mandy Shand.
Shaun, who has spent alifetimeoffering
backcountryand bush adventures all over
New Zealand, suddenly found the overseas
clientelehetargeted had dried up with the
Covid19 response.
He knew he hadtochange direction
quickly, so approached the Shandstosee if
he could reopen the trackthey had closed
abouteight yearsago, when station life
became too busy because of otherprojects
and family.
‘‘We had ahoney business in Waipara
whichgrew quite abit, andthen there
were children and we weredoing afew
otherthingswhich became very timeconsuming,
so we closed the track,’’ Dan
says.
However, when Shaun, who had been
targeting the Australianand other
overseasmarkets for fatherandson bush
and hunting adventures,approached them
to reopenthe track, theybacked the idea.
Dan says Shaun and agroup of
volunteers begancutting tracksand
improved the two and threedayoptions
whichmeander through the high country
farmland and privatenative forest
reserves.
Accommodation is provided along the
way.
Shaun’s wide knowledge on wildlife,
plants, conservation, bushcraft, mountain
safety and New Zealand’s unique history
are an added extra whilewalking the trails
or relaxing around the campfire.
Adventurous children and dogs,who
must meetstrictcriteria, arewelcome.
The walks startjust 20 minutes inland
from the historic Hurunui Hotelonthe
way to HanmerSprings.
The selfguided privatetrail covers
30km and can be managed over two or
threedays.
Although high in themountains, the
placement of the track makes it suitable
for anyone with areasonable level of
fitness andwalking ability.
The threeday walk is the most popular,
with twoday options for those withless
time and alittle more fitness.
The track is limitedto10people each
day who are guaranteed abed each night.
Adetailed pamphlet of information is
provided about the surrounding wildlife,
stories about IslandHills, and amap
showing points of interest.
The journeybegins at the cookhouse,
wherehikers are met by the dutytrack
ranger for abriefing. They are then taken
by fourwheeldrive to the start of the track.
Packsare transportedtothe next
accommodation, although day packsare
needed forlunches, water and extra
clothing.
The track will openinOctober. To learn

Conservation incentives proposed
By DAVID HILL
The Waimakariri District
Council is considering offering
landowners incentives to help
protect biodiversity as part of
its District Plan Review.
Councillorslastweek
approved in principal a
proposal to offer aresource
consent pathway for ‘‘bonus
lots’’ and additionalhousingon
ruralzoned land to offsetthe
costsofprotecting indigenous
biodiversity.
Staffwill now draft achapter
as partofthe council’s District
Plan review.
‘‘Council staff have been
investigating how to best
manage the ongoing declineof
indigenousbiodiversity
through the District Plan
review process,’’ Mayor Dan
Gordon says.
‘‘Thecouncilapproved the
development of achapter in
the upcoming draft District
Plan to provide incentives for
protecting areas of biodiversity
by allowingsubdivisionand
development incentives, as
well as ‘bonus lots’and
‘transferable development
rights’.
‘‘This is beingdeveloped as a
pathway to encourage and
provide incentives for
landowners to protect
biodiverse areas.’’
Asurvey of landowners with
listed significant natural areas
foundthat most would respond
well to incentives, but there
were different views about
what incentives would appeal.

Somelandowners believed
their natural areas were well
looked after, capable of
‘‘looking afteritself’’ or was
‘‘too overgrowntobeworth
doing any additional
maintenance’’,astaff report
says.
The council soughtfeedback
on transferabledevelopment
rights andsubdivision
incentives, which are
commonly usedbyNorth
Island councils,but around 80
percent of respondents had no
knowledge of these options.
Asubdivisionincentive
would allowfor the
development of a‘‘bonus lot’’
in exchange for protecting a
natural areainperpetuity,
while transferable development
rights allowed a
landowner to sell the rightto
subdivide in an open market.
Some landownerswere
opposed to theseincentives,
citingconcern overadverse
effects to rural character.
Otherswere open to the idea
of subdivision incentives and
some wanted more
information.
The survey findings found
that ‘‘monitoring requirements
associated with subdivision
incentives didnot put landowners
off’’, the reportsaid.
One landowner indicated
some positive feedback would
provide the biggestincentive,
whileanother alreadyhad
land under aQE2 covenant.
Extrapest traps,funding for
fencing and waiving consent
fees were also suggested by
landowners as incentives.
Respondents also asked for
more support with planting.
The proposal still needs to go
through theDistrict Plan
process,sothere will be
opportunities forresidentsto
have theirsay, Mr Gordon says.

Farmers haveprotected awetlandnear
Kaikoura.
Morethan1000 square metresof
wetlandhas been fenced offalongLyell
Creek/Waikoau at the backofaMill Rd
property in Kaikoura, to help keep stock
out of the springfedstream.
Two additionalsprings and five
overland flow paths feedingintothe
streamhave also beenprotected.
AKaikoura fencer, landownerand local
farmers have worked with Environment
Canterbury (ECan)stafftoprotect and
enhancethe natural wetland.
Around$14,000 has beenspenttofence
the wetlandarea,funded from the
Kaikoura Zone Committee’s ‘‘ontheground
actionsfor freshwater’’fund.
ECanlandmanagementand
biodiversity adviser Heath Melville says
the fencingcreatesabufferaround the
existing wetland and willallow native
vegetation to colonise thearea.
‘‘There aresome springs in there,
supportingagoodpopulation of native
rushes,orwiwi. Giveittimeand keepon
top of the weeds, and it willdevelop into
an impressivewetland,” he says.
‘‘Excluding stock permanently willlimit
nutrient lossintothe stream, improving
water quality and freshwaterhabitat.’’
TheKaikoura Plains Recovery Project
reportfor the Lyell catchment,supplied
by the National InstituteofWater and
Atmospheric Research (Niwa)has given
ECan the ability to takeatargeted
approach,MrMelvillesays.
‘‘We’ve reduced nutrient loss from
another eightcriticalsource areas (wet
areas)bydoing thework on thiswetland,
which,along withother similar workin
thecatchment, willgreatly improve the
health of the stream.’’
James Boyd, who is one of three local
farmers leasing the landsurrounding the
wetland, has beenworkingwithECan
staffand thelandowner throughthe
process.
“Wefeel fortunate to get assistance on
theblock we lease,’’ he says.
‘‘HavingEnvironmentCanterbury and
local contractors helping us to fence more

makes it alot easier to managestock.
“The benefits to the environmentare at

Final push on projects
Work to strengthen Kaikoura’s roading
network remains on tracktobecompleted
by the end of theyear.
The North Canterbury Transport
Infrastructure Recovery(NCTIR)alliance
is set to officially wrapupits construction
works,whichbegan afterthe November
2016 earthquake,onDecember 15.
Project director Tony Gallaghersays the
work has comealong way sincethe
earthquake.
‘‘By 2017wehad reopened vital
transport connections, with freight trains
returning in September, and State
Highway 1reopened by December.
‘‘Since then, our teams have been
working to strengthen the corridor for
futuregenerations,’’ Mr Gallagher says.
Last month,NCTIR hit six million work
hours on the project, withmore than 9000
peopleinvolved since work began.
‘‘Thisrepresents ahuge amount of
human effort and we want to makeevery
hour count by creatingsomethingweare
proud of, and that the Kaikoura
community can be proud of forthe next
100 years.’’
Two large projects remaintobe
completed, including apermanent
rockfallprotection canopy to be installed
southofPeketaand stabilisation works
near the SouthBay Racecourse.
‘‘It’s abusy time, and we appreciate
people’spatience and ongoing supportas
we reach the home stretch. The
countdown is on to December 15,’’Mr
Gallagher says.
NCTIRhas started work to reconstruct
and realign asection of SH1 above the
racecourse, where an earthquakedamaged
retaining wall has slumped.
The realignment work willrun between
the intersections of South Bay Paradeand
Killarney St, with the roadbeingmoved
over by the width of one laneinsome
sections.
Safety improvements alongthis stretch
will include anew leftturning bay into
SouthBay Parade, afootpath/cyclewayon
the southbound side of the highway,
widening the road embankments and side
protection.
Initially,the team will cut outthe old
embankmentand rebuild it wider.Then a
two metrehigh temporary retainingwall,
known as apreload, will be builtalongside
the top of the northbound lane.
This preload spans 240 metresand the
weightofit willallow the land to settlein
preparation for theconstruction of anew
lane.
The preload is expected to be removed
in September, when finalroading can
begin.
New rockfall protectionisbeing
installed around arockfallprone corner
south of Kaikoura to improve thelongterm
safety between Peketa and the
Paratitahi Tunnels.
More than 70 rockfall incidents have
been recorded in this area sincethe 2016
earthquake, with the mostrecent beingin
February.
It resulted in thehighway being closed
to trafficovernight.
The agreed solution for this 325metre
section of roadconsists of three parts,
including asix metre high canopyto
redirect fallingrock to asafe zone away
from the road,meshing and onemetretall
barriers.

Eighty register for seminar on regenerative agriculture
By DAVID HILL
Apassion for regenerative
agriculture has led to a
Kaikoura woman organising a
seminar in her home town.
Sky Horton says she has been
blown away by the interest,

being held tomorrow (Friday).
The idea came after Sky
attended aregenerative
agriculture conference at
Lincoln University in March.
‘‘I thought, why not bring
these people to Kaikoura?
‘‘I have no hidden agenda.
It’s just me sharing my passion
for regenerative agriculture
and about how we can
implement it onfarm.
‘‘I have worked in the
industry and I’ve heard all the
concerns from farmers and I
thought ‘we can’t just keep
going on like this’.’’
She established aFacebook
page, Agregenz —
Regenerative Agriculture NZ,
and started aconversation.
‘‘I thought that it would be a
field day with half adozen
farmers turning up, but there
seems to be an appetite for
what we are talking about.
‘‘We’ve probably only got 10
people from Kaikoura coming
and the rest are coming from
all over, which is good, but it’s
pretty exciting to be able to
offer something like this for
Kaikoura. It’s about getting
people together to have a
conversation.’’
North Island farmer Peter
Barrett, of Linnburn Station,
an exponent of regenerative
agriculture, appeared on
Country Calendar in April and
Sky believes this helped spark
some interest.
The event kicks off with
registration at 10.15am.
It has support from the North
Canterbury Rural Support
Trust and industry groups, she
says.
Farmer looks to diversification
By DAVID HILL
Rural sectordiversityisthe
key to supportingNorth
Canterbury’s Covid19
recovery, says Cameron
Henderson.
Speaking afterthe recent
Waimakariri Jobs Summit, the
Federated FarmersNorth
Canterburypresident said he
was thrilled to hearthe
speakers talking up the
contribution of the ruralsector
in challengingtimes, with new
opportunities such as growing
hemp and manuka oil.
‘‘It was really interestingto
hear some verypositive
comments about the
importance of agriculture.
‘‘I thinkfarmersare looking
for new opportunities. They
see thatalot of whatthey are
doing at the momentprobably
does have alimited lifeand it’s
agood business measure to
diversify.’’
There was alot of interest
among farmers in growing
hemp and cannabis, and Mr
Hendersonsaidhewould be
watching thisyear’s cannabis
referendum with interest.
Cameron Henderson ... Farmers are looking for new opportunities, he says.
‘‘It grows reallywell in
Canterbury. Ithink the growing
ability’s not the challenge. It’s
goingtobehow much we can
sell and who’s going to do it.
‘‘I’mnot saying whichway I
wouldvote, but as with all
agricultureinNew Zealand,
it’s the export marketthat
makesthe difference, so
regardless of what happens in
New Zealand there is a
growing market overseas,
particularlyinmedicinal and
nondrug products,and the
fibre content.’’
Cannabis as arotation crop
could complementany farming
practice, Mr Hendersonsays.
The ruralsectorwas facing
challenges with overseas
migrant labour not as readily
available, but he was
heartenedbythe interest
among skilled New Zealanders
looking for acareer change.
‘‘It is internal migration and
it is alifestyle change. You are
movingout into an environment
you’renot familiar with
and you are movingfamilies
and you can feelthat senseof

Fluid Kaiapoi side in convincing win
By LINDSAY KERR and
PETER WILLIAMS
Kaiapoi maintainedits season’s
momentumwith another
convincing 4410win overa
plucky Ashley side in the latest
round of North Canterbury
premier rugby.
Both teams had apositive
mindset and afluent,freeflowing
match ensued.
Kaiapoi was dominant in all
aspectsexcept goalkicking.
Despite trying acouple of goalkickers,
it was not untilthe side
scored its seventhtry thatone
was converted.
Ashley,onthe other hand,
courtesyofKorbyn Gray, kicked
an early penalty andconverted
the only try Ashleyscored.
Kaiapoi’s backs again looked
dangerous as aunit. They were
wellserved by Codey Grimes at
halfback, whileDante Love and
Rob Samson both continued
their rich vein of form and Shak
Bassi on the wing madethe most
of arare starting opportunity.
The Kaiapoi backs are getting
their chancesbecause the
forwards are providingthem
witharegular supplyofquality
ball. The tight fiveall played
their part, with Nacanieli
Namata in particularquite
outstanding.
Anotherfeature of the team’s
playisthat its players are
constantlymakingthemselves
available in support of the ball
carrier,enabling acontinuity
of play to be achieved. Jarrod
Smith was arguablybestinthis
respect.
RUGBY
For Ashley, Reuben King stood
out for his wholeheartedeffort,
while NaariaWilsonBairds and
Matt Cookewere othersto

Scorers: Kaiapoi 44 (Bassi,

Credit to Ohoka
Ohoka travelled deepinto

emerged with considerable
creditafter sending ashockwave
through the campofits more
fancied rivals camp, holdingthe
side to a17alldraw.
However, despite its spirited
effortagainst the defending
champions, Ohoka still finds
itselfinadifficult position on the
competition tablewith only three
weekendsofroundrobin
competitionremaining.
This was aclashinwhich
Glenmark gained mostofthe ball
and territory, but struggled to
finishmany promising
movements.
Ohoka produced achampion
effortondefenceand made the
most of its scoringchances.
The sides were locked 10all at
halftime and, nearing fulltime,
it was 17all. Then,along range

Comeback win
Oxford camefrom 1321 behind
to beat Hurunui 3027 in ahardfought
but disruptive game at
Culverden.
Hurunui’s momentum was not
helpedwhen it lost centre
HunterJohnsonwith a
dislocated hip. He was not moved
and was taken to hospitalby
rescuehelicopter.
While Hurunuilooked the
betterside in the opening
exchanges, Oxfordwas amore
committedunit in the second
spell,scoring three tries in that
time.
With time beckoning, there was
confusion in the Hurunui ranks.
Its players thoughtthat apenalty
had won the side the game, only
to findthey were stillfour points
behind.
The accurate boot of Angus
Mitchell and Dan Brooker, who
scored two tries, headed the
Oxford comeback.Inhis first
start, Tom Chamberlain had a
useful gameatlock.
Scorers: Oxford 30 (Matthew

From Page 24
After being flogged the week
beforebyKaiapoi, Saracens
ran in 10 unanswered tries,
with the accurate bootof
Ricky Allinadding more pain
for Woodend.
With the scrap for afinals
berth heating up, and the
pointstable showing five
teams essentially fightingit
out for two places, the
Saracens’ winningmargin
helped its cause.
Added to this equation is
the fact that the two leading
sides haveyet to face off.

Joyless weekend for Rangiora
HOCKEY
Rangiora’s senior hockey
teams did not fare well over
the weekend, with several
playersaway during the
school holidays.
The Rangiora Hurunui
midweek women were the
only team to claim full points
with awin against Harewood
—the side’s first win of the
season.
The everimproving
Rangiora CBK Division 1men
did well to restrict secondonthetable
Carlton Redcliffs to
a2all draw.
But that was all the points
that Rangiora Hockey Club
teams could muster.
Despite abrace of goals to
Macy Neale, the Rangiora
CBK Division 1women could
not edge Carlton Redcliffs in
atense and close battle,
finishing down by one.
The Division 2and 3
women’s teams also lost, but
weren't helped by new
playersbeing called into the
teams because of holiday
absences.
The Rangiora Allsorts midweek
men were their own
worst enemies in alacklustre
performance against the
Hornby Rebels.Few chances
were forthcoming for
Rangiora, and when they did
the goals went begging.
Kiwi Sticks and Mini Sticks
junior hockey starts this
weekend, with sixaside
games at the Dudley Park turf
and the Kaiapoi High School
turf.
Ball tussle ... Krystalena Roberts, in green and gold, in action for the Rangiora Division 2Women’s team.
RangioraHockey Club has
several boys’ andgirls’ teams
in both of these competitions.
The club also has agroup of
young umpiresstarting this
weekendinthese grades.
It is probably the greatest
number of new umpiresthe
club has seen for several
years.

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)
THE FALLEN ANGEL MYTH
Most religions teach of afallen angel or ‘evil one’, who
desires to cause man to take an opposing course to what
God’s word reveals. Is this atrueand reliable belief?
The Bible states in Hebrews 2:14 -For as much then as
the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also
himself likewise took part ofthe same, that through death
he might destroy him who had the power of death, that is,
the devil; and deliver them who through fear of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not
on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed
of Abraham.
Taking this as atrue statement, that God is not aliar, then
whatever the ‘devil’ is it was destroyed two thousand years
ago. This is averyinteresting subject as it impacts how we
view the message of hope from the Bible.
