By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Mystery surroundsaloudboom heardin<br />
the LoburnOkuku area on Sunday.<br />
It shook houses, rattled windows and<br />
doors, and sent catsand dogs into aspin.<br />
It also sent emergency services on a<br />
fruitlesssearch.<br />
One Okuku resident said their house<br />
shuddered, andthe windows andtheir<br />
porchroofing ironrattled,asthe cat fled.<br />
‘‘I thoughtshe had knockedthe wood<br />
pile overonthe porch,but therewas<br />
nothing out of place,’’ Letitia Schroeder<br />
said.<br />
PrincipalRural Fire Officer Bruce<br />
Janes, who lives in Barkers Road,<br />
Loburn,saidhealso heard the boom,<br />
whichsent him running to his woodshed<br />
thinking somethingheavy had hit it.<br />
However, everything was intact.<br />
‘‘It wasn’tsomeone setting spray cans<br />
on fire. Iknow what thatsoundslike.’’<br />
Firefighters werecalled out to Swamp<br />
Road,Loburn,at10.13am, with people<br />
reportingthere might have been an<br />
incident in theAshley riverbed.<br />
‘‘Firemen returned home mystified,<br />
and none the wiser,’’ Mr Janessaid.<br />
Many took to Facebook, with one<br />
residentsaying it feltlike ahuge thump<br />
against the house.Another reported it<br />
shaking theirhouse,whileanother said<br />
‘‘it nearly blew my windows out’’.<br />
It appeared to havecome from the<br />
riverend of Swamp Road.<br />
Thoughtshave now turnedtoitbeing a<br />
possible meteorexplosion. Being<br />
daylight, it may not havebeen seen.<br />
Oxford Observatory volunteer James<br />
Moffat saidseveral meteors wereseen<br />
over the weekend, as it is the seasonfor<br />
meteor showers. Afew wereseen from<br />
the observatory on Fridayevening.<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Abird’seye viewofthe<br />

a$2.1 million cashinjection.<br />
The funding,announcedlast<br />
Friday by theundersecretary<br />

Tabuteau,will help build aflylineonConical<br />
Hill.Itwill<br />
carry people on an 850metre<br />

Conical Hillforest.<br />
Mr Tabuteau said the<br />
funding—$2million from the<br />
infrastructure fundand<br />
$123,000fromthe Provincial<br />
Growth Fund—is aimed at<br />
reducingthe impact of the<br />
lackofinternational tourists<br />
visiting thetown because of<br />
Covid19.<br />
The project, which could be<br />
runningbyspring next year,<br />
willcreate up to 25 jobsand a<br />
$4 million economic benefitto<br />
the region over fiveyears, he<br />
said.<br />
HurunuiMayor Marie Black<br />
saysthe injection of funds<br />
shows the value of havinga<br />
point of differenceinthe<br />

the town’s thermalpools<br />

she says.<br />
However, much neededto<br />
be worked through before it<br />
becameareality. The funding<br />
willallowthe council to<br />
progress theidea with<br />
confidence.<br />
Pools general manager<br />
Graeme Abbot saysthe flyline<br />
has the potential to becomea<br />

“This has beenadreamof<br />

Themissing swing was itself a<br />
replacementfor one stolenfrom<br />

Greenspace manager Grant<br />
MacLeodsays the thefts are<br />
senseless. ‘‘This behaviournot<br />

‘‘It’s frustrating to haveto<br />

Hotel avote for future of tourism<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The SudimaHotelis<br />
beingdescribed as a<br />
beacon of hope for the<br />
Kaikouraeconomy.<br />
Jade Kirk, the chief<br />
executive of Kirk<br />
Roberts Consulting, the<br />
firm responsiblefor the<br />
building’s design,<br />
engineeringand project<br />
management, says<br />
lenders have given their<br />
full support to the<br />
project.<br />
The Sudimahotel<br />
chainislooking forward<br />
to managing the facility,<br />
he says.<br />
Mr Kirksays the<br />
project showsthat<br />
confidence and<br />
investment in the<br />
tourist sectorisstill<br />
strong.<br />
KaikouraMayor Craig<br />
Mackle, alongwith<br />
leading tourism<br />
operators, business<br />
leadersand iwi, will be<br />
given aguided tour of<br />
the new $35m hotelthis<br />
Friday.<br />
The fourlevel<br />
complexwill be<br />
Kaikoura’s first 4.5star<br />
hotel whenitopens in<br />
September nextyear.<br />
‘‘Kaikoura has alot of<br />
excitingtimes ahead.<br />
This town is atourism<br />
jewel in New Zealand’s<br />
crown,’’ he says.<br />
Construction of the<br />
structure will be<br />
completed shortly and<br />
theinternalfitoutwill<br />
then begin.<br />
The6000 square<br />
metre floor plan has<br />
been designed to<br />
maximise the views and<br />
many of the raw<br />
materials usedhave<br />
been chosen for their<br />
link to Kaikoura’s<br />
history and landscape.<br />
‘‘We’vegot alot of<br />
exposed concrete that<br />
Committed ... The Sudima Kaikoura is scheduled to<br />
open in September next year.<br />

Progressing ... Construction of the structure will be completed shortly and the<br />

got timbercladding and<br />
cedarwrapping around<br />
the hotel inside andout,<br />
whichreflects<br />
Kaikoura’s hills and<br />
countryside.’’<br />
Once opened, the<br />
Sudima Kaikoura will<br />
feature 118 rooms plusa<br />
bar, restaurant and<br />
conference facility. The<br />
highprofile site at 114<br />
The Esplanade offers<br />
viewsofthe sea and<br />
mountains, and also<br />
includes aheatedpool<br />
and gymnasium.<br />
‘‘It’s avery elegant<br />
hotel and the views are<br />
absolutelyspectacular<br />
from every room,’’ Mr<br />
Kirk says.<br />
“The building’s<br />
architectural formand<br />
scale is startingtoshine<br />
throughnow.<br />
‘‘It’s been designed so<br />
that everyroom has<br />
reallygood lightand<br />
views of the sea,<br />
mountains or both.It’s<br />
quite stunning.<br />
‘‘From every single<br />
partofthe building you<br />
see views, even in the<br />
corridors, so the<br />
stunningKaikoura<br />
landscape is always<br />
present insidethe<br />
building.”<br />
Mr Kirk saysthe<br />
individual hotelroom<br />
sizesare another point<br />
of difference. A<br />
standard studioat<br />
Sudima Kaikoura will<br />
be 30 to 33 square<br />
metres comparedwith<br />
an industry averageof<br />
22 to 26 sq m.<br />
“The roomsare quite<br />
unique in termsofhow<br />
they’re laid out.<br />
‘‘After thesetbacks of<br />
the 2016earthquake,<br />
followed by Covid19,<br />
Kaikouraisready to<br />
launch its tourism<br />
comeback,’’ Mr Kirk<br />
says.‘‘Having high<br />
qualityfacilitieslike<br />
Sudima Kaikoura will<br />
help lure more Kiwis–<br />
and eventually<br />
international tourists –<br />
back into town.’’<br />
Funding will allow day spa to be reconsidered<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
New life has been breathed<br />
intoplans for aluxury<br />
Europeaninspired day spa in<br />
the formerQueenMary<br />
Hospital groundsatHanmer<br />

First mooted in late 2015, the<br />
conceptwas awarded funding<br />
fromthe Provincial Growth<br />
Fundlast week duringavisit<br />
by the undersecretary for<br />
regional economic development,<br />
Fletcher Tabuteau.<br />
The $997,000includes money<br />

HurunuiDistrict Council.<br />
Pools general manager<br />
Graeme Abbotsays the funding<br />
will helpreignite the luxury<br />
spa in the Chisholm block, but<br />
investors would still be needed<br />
for the project, estimated to<br />
cost about $15mfive years ago.<br />
The ideahad been backed by<br />
the community, whichiskeen<br />
to see the former Queen Mary<br />
Hospital buildingsused rather<br />
than sit empty.<br />
Mr Abbotsaid in 2015 aspa<br />

Progress on<br />
safety plans<br />
By DAVIDHILL<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon is<br />
pleased to see progress being made<br />
with proposed road safety<br />
improvements in Woodend.<br />
Mr Gordon met with New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency chief executive<br />
Nicole Rosie while in Wellington<br />
recently during alocal government<br />
meeting.<br />
He said Waimakariri’s transport<br />
woes ‘‘got agood hearing’’.<br />
‘‘I raised with her our district’s<br />
transport priorities with getting the<br />
Woodend Bypass on the government<br />
programme, the proposed safety<br />
improvements in Woodend, the Skew<br />
Bridge upgrade and the Southbrook<br />
alignment.’’<br />
The agency announced this month it<br />
planned to begin work on installing<br />
traffic signals on State Highway 1<br />
outside Woodend School later this<br />
year, aiming to have it ready for the<br />
start of the 2<strong>02</strong>1 school year.<br />
An agency spokesperson confirmed<br />
the design was being completed and<br />
the community will be updated soon.<br />
Speed limit concerns around<br />
Tuahiwi were also raised, Mr Gordon<br />
said.<br />
‘‘It was agreed NZTA will work with<br />
us to find aworkable solution.’’<br />
While there was no commitment on<br />
the major projects, Mr Gordon says he<br />
will continue to lobby on behalf of the<br />
council through the regional transport<br />
committee.<br />
‘‘Southbrook has significant traffic<br />
volumes and safety concerns with<br />
schoolchildren, so we need to be<br />
identifying solutions.’’<br />

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor<br />
Feedback on quarry plan<br />
Ihave fieldedmany enquiries aroundthe<br />
proposal for aquarry inside the trackat<br />
Rangiora Racecourse. Council staff have<br />
fielded many, too.<br />
Ialso understand there is apetition<br />
objecting to the application.<br />
Iwanttomake it clear thatthe councilis<br />
not proposing this application. The<br />
applicant is Taggart EarthmovingLimited<br />
as aprivate company.<br />
Anumber of peoplethink thatthe<br />
council shouldbeable to directlydecline<br />
receivinganapplication suchasthis from<br />
the outset. We cannot.<br />
The council is required to accept a<br />
resourceconsent application which is<br />
completed correctly and meets the legal<br />
requirementsofthe Resource Management<br />
Act 1991 (RMA). We are legally bound<br />
to follow thisprocess.<br />
The council doesnot have the abilityto<br />
make adecision to approve or decline a<br />
resourceconsent application before an<br />
assessmentofthe application is<br />
undertaken in accordance with the act.<br />
The reasonistoensurethat applications<br />
are fairlyassessed in accordancewith the<br />
legislative requirementswithinthe RMA.<br />
One of the first processing steps is a<br />
checkonwhether thereissufficient<br />
information to understand the proposed<br />
activity and the potential or actualadverse<br />
environmental effects that may result.<br />
Untilthe consentauthority—inthis<br />
case the council—issatisfied thatithas<br />
all the informationneeded to understand<br />
thesematters, it is unable to decide how<br />
the application will be processed.<br />

Once council staff receiveafull andfinal<br />

Stance on overhead wires disappointing<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
It was disappointingtolearn that<br />
MainPowerhas no plans to place<br />
undergroundany remaining overhead<br />
wiring in Kaiapoi in the foreseeable<br />
future becauseofcosts and other<br />
factors.<br />
Iunderstand the reasoning behind<br />
this decision.<br />
However, with more than 95% of<br />
Kaiapoi now with undergroundwiring,<br />
putting any remaining overheadwiring<br />
undergroundwould honour the likes of<br />
Doug Cowan and Murray Ruddenklau,<br />
who had the visionand foresightto<br />
beginthe processofputting Kaiapoi’s<br />
overhead wiring underground in 1973.<br />
Woulditnot be amagnanimous<br />
gesture for MainPowertocompletethe<br />
process begun by these gentlemenby<br />
2<strong>02</strong>3,the 50th anniversary of when<br />
conversion of overheadwiring to<br />
underground wiringstarted.<br />
This would rid Kaiapoi of any<br />
unsightlyremaining overhead wiring in<br />
the process.<br />
Yours,<br />
John Moody<br />

Creative approach to<br />
law-making slated<br />
By KIM REILLY, Federated Farmers’<br />
South Island regional policy manager<br />
Making goodregulationsrelieson<br />
following sound, robust and proper lawmaking<br />
processes.<br />
The government’s recent approach to<br />
abill to amend theResource<br />
Management Act (RMA) instead fell<br />
somewhere between dancing aroundthe<br />
lineofproper process, andboldly<br />
jumping beyond it.<br />
Ihavealready raisedconcerns about<br />
the lackofpublicinput into important<br />
aspectsofthe bill, particularlywhere<br />
matterswent beyond its intended scope.<br />
Thoseconcerns onlyintensifiedasthe<br />
bill workeditsway throughthe<br />
parliamentary process.<br />
All majorpolitical parties agreethat<br />
the RMAneedscomprehensive review<br />
and reform.Infact, as early as 2018, the<br />
Government agreedtoatwostage<br />
reform process.<br />
Stage1wasto be anarrowscopedbill<br />
on mattersthatdid notadd significant<br />
complexityorcosts. Stage 2was to be a<br />
comprehensive reformofthe entire<br />
resource managementsystem.<br />
To facilitate Stage 2reform,the<br />
governmentset up aworkinggroup,<br />
whose final report is duebackto<br />
government this month.<br />
It was agreed thatStage 2was where<br />
complexissues,such as the interaction<br />
betweenthe RMA and climate change<br />
policy, weretobe considered.<br />
The government’s own background<br />
documents made it clearsuch matters<br />
required significant consultation witha<br />
range of stakeholders to understand<br />
viewsand practical implications on the<br />
ground.<br />
As climate change wasnot included<br />
within the bill when it was released for<br />
submissions, submitters didnot knowto<br />
submit on it, provideevidence,orraiseit<br />
during selectcommittee hearings.<br />
However, ahundred or so individuals<br />
did submit, sayingthat climatechange<br />
shouldhavebeen partofthe bill.<br />
The select committee’s responseto<br />
thisfeedbackshould have been that<br />
Cabinet had agreed it wastoo important<br />
to be considered as part of thenarrow<br />
bill,and that it would be addressed<br />
throughthe comprehensiveStage2<br />
reform.<br />
Instead, the select committee addedit<br />
on to the bill after submissionsand<br />
hearingshadfinished,withno<br />
opportunity forother submitters or<br />
councils to provide views or evidence.<br />
Of evenmore concern, is thatfurther<br />
significantchanges were madetothe bill<br />

❛The government’s recent<br />
approach to abill to amend the<br />
Resource Management Act fell<br />
somewhere between dancing<br />
around the line of proper<br />
process, and boldly jumping<br />
beyond it.❜<br />
via whatisknownasSupplementary<br />
Order Papers (SOPs),presented to the<br />
Housethe daythe billwas passed(June<br />
24,2<strong>02</strong>0).<br />
Thesesignificantlastminute<br />
additions includedprovision for<br />
regulations to be made aroundfarm<br />
plans,and fertiliser monitoringand<br />
reporting.<br />
Neither of thesematters just<br />
‘‘appeared’’ on the Government’s radar<br />
in June 2<strong>02</strong>0. They wereclearly<br />
considered well beforethistime,but the<br />
decisionwas made to circumvent good<br />
process.<br />
Government papersfrom<strong>July</strong> 2019<br />
discussed howthe governmentcould<br />
turn the existingframeworkofindustryledfarmplans<br />
into ariskbased<br />
regulatory regime withmandatory,<br />
enforceable farmplans, and<br />
infringementoffences.<br />
It wasnotedthat while including such<br />
mattersinthe billitself would allowthe<br />
public to properlysubmit, that this<br />
important process risked delayingthe<br />
bill.<br />
Ultimately, it wasdecided to instead<br />
addthese matters to the billvia aSOPat<br />
theend of the process after public<br />
submissions, to avoid delayingthe bill’s<br />
passing.<br />
To be clear,the concept of mandatory,<br />
enforceablefarmplans, which were<br />
open to infringement offences whennot<br />
met, werenot discussed withfarmers, or<br />
thesector, at anypart of the billprocess,<br />
or the separate Actionfor Healthy<br />
Waterwaysfreshwaterreform process.<br />
All thesemajoradditionstothe bill<br />
were foundtoonlypartially meet<br />
government’s qualityassurance criteria,<br />
duetothe lackof publicinputor<br />
consultationoneach.<br />
Fundamental changes to ourresource<br />
management system aretoo importantto<br />
rush and get wrong.<br />
Beingcreativeis an admirabletrait in<br />
most aspectsofKiwiingenuity. It is not,<br />
however,when it comestoadhering to<br />
NewZealand’sdemocratic lawmaking<br />
processes.<br />

Education: So much more than teaching<br />
By KATINA BEAUCHAMP<br />
Education: noun.Aprocess of<br />
teaching, training and learning,<br />
especially in school, collegesor<br />
universities,toimprove<br />
knowledge and developskills.<br />
(Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries)<br />
Tellingly, this definition does<br />
not eveninclude early childhood<br />
education (ECE).However, as<br />
has been made abundantly clear<br />
during the lockdown, there is so<br />
much moretoeducation than<br />
teaching, training, and learning.<br />
During the weeks teachers,<br />
parents, and children were at<br />
home,the education sector,<br />
particularly ECE, wasrecognised<br />
as the essential part of society<br />
that it is.<br />
When earlychildhoodcentres<br />
had to close in the face of Covid<br />
19, this had adramatic flowon<br />
effect on families.<br />
The most often talkedabout<br />
effect was that manyfamilies had<br />
to reconfigure their lives and<br />
integrate parenting, entertaining,<br />
and teachingtheiryoung<br />
children, often whileworking<br />
from home at the sametime.<br />
However, how to occupy<br />
youngsters represents onlypart<br />
of the story.<br />
Childrenhad to come to terms<br />
with disrupted routines, being<br />
away from their friends and their<br />
social environment, as well as<br />
theirteachers.<br />
This leftmany teachers<br />
worried and,despite the logistics<br />
of physical separation, they<br />
managed to maintaincontact<br />
with children and parents.<br />
Centres and teachers did their<br />
besttoreach out andconnect<br />
withthe centrewhanau.There<br />
are many stories of how early<br />
childhood teachers ensured they<br />
keptintouchwith their tamariki<br />
via Zoom,social media or other<br />
ways, to continuewith learning<br />
but also to let children and<br />
families know they werenot so<br />
isolatedastobealone (He Panui<br />
Kohungahunga,2<strong>02</strong>0). Some<br />
teachers held virtual storytimes,<br />
others conducted music sessions,<br />
posted photosand videos.<br />
The simpleact of seeing<br />
familiar facesand hearing each<br />
other’s voicescan make all the<br />
difference duringdifficult times.<br />
Thishelped not only to bridge<br />
overtimesofboredombut, more<br />
importantly, kept the dialogue<br />
going and generate afeeling that<br />
the communitywas still there<br />
and provided support.<br />
There was alsoconcern for<br />
those children and parents who<br />
relyonspecific support.<br />
Amongst the various roles ECE<br />
has in New Zealand society, early<br />
childhood centres are seen as a<br />
safeplace of respite fromstress<br />
at home.<br />
The knowledge thatthere are<br />
childrenwho require additional<br />
support, even rely on the centre<br />
for food, and would have to go<br />
without this support structure<br />
provided by centres, weighed<br />
heavily on many teachers.<br />
It has neverbeen clearer than<br />
throughout these difficult times:<br />
Kaiako (teachers) in ECE are so<br />
muchmore than babysitters, and<br />
thereissomuch more to<br />
education than learning.<br />
Being an early childhood<br />
Adaptability needed ... Many families had to reconfigure their lives<br />
and integrate parenting, entertaining, and teaching their young children<br />
into their work lives during the Covid19 lockdown.<br />

teacher is arole that extends<br />
beyond acentre’sdoors.Earlyyears<br />
teachingprofessionals are<br />
trainedtoapply aholistic view<br />
and to understand children as an<br />
integral partoftheirfamilyand<br />
wider community. Teaching and<br />
learningworksbest if it involves<br />
parentsand caregivers.<br />
However, there is more to this<br />
interconnectedness than<br />
teaching and learning.<br />
Te Whariki,our early<br />
childhoodcurriculum,expects<br />
kaiakotogobeyondworking with<br />
the community, i.e. to understand<br />
and be part of thecommunity, to<br />
establishreciprocal<br />
relationships with families and<br />
whanau.<br />
ECE teachers literally do not<br />
work in isolation at their centres;<br />
they are part of the parent<br />
community and often the local<br />
community as well,and as such<br />
the sense of belongingworks both<br />
ways.<br />
At its best it culminates in<br />
peoplereaching out and taking<br />
care of eachotherindifficult<br />
times.<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />
TheOxford’s men’s shed is<br />
readytoexpand.<br />
The OxfordOhoka<br />
Community Board recently<br />
backedplans for the McIver’s<br />
OxfordCommunityMen’s Shed<br />
to build a10metre extensionon<br />
itsbuildingatthePearson Park<br />
oval.<br />
Men’sshedchairman Raymon<br />
Charlessaystheextension will<br />
create ametalworkshop.<br />
‘‘Thebuildingconsent is going<br />
through at the moment. It will<br />
complement the existing shop,<br />
which is for woodwork and a<br />
little bit of metal.’’<br />
The project is expected to cost<br />
$25,000 to $30,000, withthe<br />
men’s shedhaving raised onethirdofthe<br />
cost already. It will<br />
nowseekacommunity grant.<br />
To boost itscoffers, asales<br />
area hasbeenestablished at the<br />
shed where the volunteerssell<br />
their wares, and therewillbea<br />
men’s shed stallbackatthe<br />
Oxford Farmers’Marketin the<br />
warmer spring weather.<br />
Last year, the men’s shed<br />
made abatterypowered toy<br />
which was raffled off just before<br />
Christmas, and asimilar project<br />
is in the pipeline this year,Mr<br />
Charlessays.<br />
Sale itemsincludechopping<br />
boards, trays and birdfeeders,<br />
which have been made by shed<br />
members and make ideal gifts.<br />
The men’s shed has more than<br />
40 members and regularly works<br />
on communityprojects,<br />
including making picnic tables.<br />
The shed is open on Tuesdays<br />
❛The evenings are<br />
popular, but we find<br />
the older chaps<br />
struggle with the cold<br />
nights in the winter.❜<br />
—Raymon Charles<br />
from 7pm to 9pm, Thursdays<br />
from 10am to 12pm and 7pm to<br />
9pm, and Saturdays from 10am<br />
to 2pm.<br />
The Tuesday evening session<br />
is open to women and the<br />
evening and Saturday sessions<br />
tend to be the most popular, as<br />
severalmembers work during<br />
the day, MrCharlessays.<br />
‘‘We aretoyingwiththe ideaof<br />
openingwithanother daytime<br />
session during the week.<br />
‘‘The evenings are popular,<br />
but we find the older chaps<br />

the winter.’’<br />
Mr Charles says the strength of<br />
the men’sshedsissupporting<br />
oldermen who may otherwise<br />
becomeisolated in their<br />
retirementyears.<br />
‘‘Youcomealong and start a<br />

Telescope<br />
due soon<br />
The OxfordArea School<br />
Observatory’s view of the cosmos is<br />
about to get bigger.<br />
Anew computerised 12inch<br />
telescope has been ordered to<br />
complement the existing 10inch<br />
telescope. The observatory’s<br />
volunteers can’t wait.<br />
VolunteerErik Vermaat says the<br />
new telescope will give the<br />
observatory more flexibility as well<br />
as aclearer view of the heavens.<br />
‘‘We’ve alwaysbeen thinking<br />
about a16inchtelescope,but<br />
we’vehad to revise our funding<br />
expectations. But the 12inch has<br />
very good optics and it’s<br />
computerised, so it will be much<br />
easier to point the telescope.<br />
‘‘We will have it soon, which is<br />
fantastic news as the whole team<br />
will be able to operateitand we’re<br />
not just dependent on one person.’’<br />
While the observatory had alate<br />
start to the seasonbecause of the<br />
lockdown, it has held two<br />
successful open nights so far, with<br />
others planned for August14and<br />
September 18.<br />
Anew booking system has been<br />
introduced this year, with two onehoursessions<br />
at 7pm and 8pm<br />
offered each open night, with<br />
numbers limited to 15 asession.<br />
Night classes are also resuming<br />
next week.<br />
Open nights can be added or<br />
cancelleddepending on the<br />
weather. This is updated on the<br />
Oxford Observatory Facebook<br />
page.Tomake abooking for anight<br />

Oxford is enjoying apostlockdown<br />
retail boom.<br />
Retailers are feeling the love as the<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> town has become a<br />
destination again after Covid19<br />
restrictions were eased.<br />
Jannz Craft Shop owner Janne Clare<br />
says the town is ‘‘buzzing’’, especially<br />
during weekends, with visitors coming<br />
from Amberley, Nelson, Blenheim,<br />
Rolleston, Ashburton, Hokitika and<br />
Christchurch.<br />
‘‘It’s absolutely an awesome time. The<br />
‘shop local’ message is working and we<br />
are getting alot of outoftowners.<br />
‘‘Oxford is very much adestination at<br />
the moment and we are feeling well<br />
supported.’’<br />
Arts in Oxford is running an ‘‘Open<br />
House Project’’ until September 13, with<br />
seven <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> artists in<br />
residence. Word is getting out, local<br />
artist Jo Ernsten says.<br />
‘‘We’ve had tonnes of visitors. It’s<br />
really good. Alot of people from all over<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> are coming to see what the<br />
buzz is about after seeing it on<br />
Facebook.’’<br />
She says the project means people can<br />
pop in and talk to the artists and see<br />
what they are doing.<br />
‘‘We had one elderly woman who came<br />
and sat down to do her knitting and talk<br />
to us. It’s all about connecting.’’<br />

Gillard says there has been ‘‘incredible<br />
support from the whole community’’.<br />
‘‘People are making adefinite effort to<br />
shop small and shop local. There has<br />
been abig mind shift. People who would<br />
normally go overseas are holidaying<br />
locally and people are driving around<br />
and spending in little shops.<br />
‘‘We still don’t know what the future<br />
holds or whether this is the new normal.<br />
But I’m standing here and moving<br />
forward.’’<br />
Nzulu store owner Shirley White says<br />
she has had visitors from as far afield as<br />
Dunedin and online customers in<br />
Sydney and Melbourne.<br />
‘‘It’s been going really well. I’ve had a<br />
steady flow of visitors, with alot of locals<br />
and people from Rangiora and Ohoka<br />
coming in, so it’s really positive.<br />
‘‘I think the community as awhole has<br />
observed the fact that local businesses<br />
need their support and Oxford is<br />
becoming adestination again.’’<br />
Shirley says Oxford is ‘‘a beautiful<br />
place’’ with the scenery, walking tracks,<br />
museum and the farmers’ market being<br />
among the attractions.<br />

Farmers gear up for calving<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> farmers are hopingfor<br />
some normality as calving begins.<br />
With calving startingthis week on most<br />
dairyfarms in the region,Federated<br />
Farmers <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> dairy<br />
chairman KarlDean says the new season<br />
is tracking welldespitethe challenges of<br />
the lockdown, Mycoplasma bovis and last<br />
season’s dry conditions.<br />
Lastyear’scold winter<br />
resulted in alate start to<br />
calving,but this season’s<br />
mildconditions mean<br />
farmers are in good<br />
spirits despite the<br />
winter rain.<br />
‘‘Wewill be starting<br />
calving in late <strong>July</strong> and<br />
Karl Dean<br />
early August and<br />
everyone seems to be on<br />
track. Ithinkmost<br />
people have tightened up calvings and the<br />
payout was up, so peoplewill have<br />
investedabit to try to make the most of it<br />
this year.<br />
‘‘I think everybodywould have likedthe<br />
rain abit soonerinthe year,but with the<br />
mild winter so far, the grass is growing<br />
faster than normal and the soil<br />
temperature is warmer than average.’’<br />
Cam Henderson ... ‘‘As employers, you have to be loyal to your employees.’’<br />
Federated Farmers <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
president Cameron Henderson saysafter<br />
last year’sslowstart, calving has started<br />
earlyonhis Oxford farm. While wet and<br />
muddy conditions are making fora<br />
challengingwinter,MrHenderson hopes<br />
it will set farmers up for agoodsummer.<br />
‘‘We’vehad regular rain over the last few<br />
weeks and the aquifers are starting to fill<br />
up again.<br />
‘‘It’s muddy, but otherwisethe<br />
conditionsare pretty reasonable. If we get<br />
an easy winter,wetend to end up paying<br />
the priceinthe summer.’’<br />
PHOTOS: FILE<br />
Mr Dean says the biggest challengefor<br />
farmers heading into the new season is<br />
securing experiencedworkersfor the next<br />
few months.<br />
‘‘There are fewer migrant workers<br />
around now and thosewho went homeare<br />
having trouble gettingback into the<br />
country.’’<br />
In some cases,possessionsare still in a<br />
houseonthe farm.<br />
‘‘As employers, you have to be loyal to<br />
your employees. Thefarmer can’t just go<br />
and take on anew employee. You can’t<br />
just go and empty out the house.’’<br />
Feds to mark 75th anniversary in October<br />
The celebrations are backonfor<br />
Federated Farmers <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
The provincial group will now mark its<br />
75th anniversary on Friday, October 16, at<br />
Waipara, after the event was postponed in<br />
May because of the lockdown.<br />
PresidentCameronHenderson says the<br />
eventwill be held at the Waipara Springs<br />
Winery and will includethe province’s<br />
annual meeting.<br />
‘‘Hopefully, the election will be over by<br />
then. Compared to the lastelection, when<br />
we were in the spotlight, it’sgood thatthe<br />
focus isn’t on farming.’’<br />
Cannabis and hemphave been ahot<br />
topic in the leadup to the referendum,<br />
withmuch attention on the risksof<br />
smoking cannabis.<br />
‘‘People seemed to be focused on the<br />
smoking of cannabis,but there’s alot of<br />
development thatcould go into that space<br />
under the right conditions.<br />
‘‘There’s so many thingsthat can be<br />
madeout of it,’’ Mr Henderson says.<br />

Farmers<br />
coping well<br />
Asurvey of <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s droughtstrickenfarmers<br />
has foundmost are<br />
coping well.<br />
The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>Rural Support<br />
Trust conducted atelephone survey of<br />
more than 500 farmers to gauge how<br />
communities were coping,and to<br />
improveawareness of industryand<br />
government supportpackages.<br />
Summerweather hadcreated dry<br />
conditions.Significant rainfall came in<br />
May and June, but it was not enough to<br />
rechargegroundwater. This left many<br />
respondents nervous about the prospect<br />
of heavysnow and scarcefeed supplies.<br />
Significant <strong>July</strong> rains meant some<br />
ponds were filling,but more rain was<br />
needed to ensure afull recharge of the<br />
soil profile and to boostspring growth.<br />
Lessons have been learned from past<br />
droughts, with farming systemsnow<br />
more aligned to the area’s climate.<br />
Decisions todestock were made early<br />
and many had good feed supplies,which<br />
are now being fed out.<br />
But the survey foundthat even well<br />
organised feedplanners would be tight<br />
for feed come the spring.<br />
Thosewith irrigationreported much<br />
healthier feedlevels,leaving some to<br />
wonder whether water storagehad been<br />
alost opportunity.<br />

Ashley stays in semi-final hunt<br />
RUGBY<br />
By LINDSAY KERR and PETER WILLIAMS<br />
Ashley keptits hopes of asemifinal berth<br />
aliveafteraspirited 2619 winagainst<br />
Hurunui in the latest round of <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> rugbylastSaturday.<br />
The game, played at Ashley’s impressive<br />
home ground, liveduptoits billing, with<br />
both sides playingpositive rugby.<br />
Ashley scored first in the opening<br />
quarter and never relinquishedthe lead.<br />
However, Hurunui stayed in contention<br />
throughoutand was stillinwinning<br />
contention in the finalquarter.<br />
Ashley lostakey figure in halfback<br />
BrentCameronwith an injury in the<br />
opening exchanges. His replacement,<br />
Luke Gold, did not let the side down.<br />
Afterasustained early attack,Naaria<br />
WilsonBairds crashed over in awall of<br />
jerseys to score Ashley’s firsttry.<br />
ScottBarberstretched this to 120 after<br />
13 minutes, following ablindsidemove.<br />
Hurunui got itselfinto the game in the<br />
second quarter and, after aswarm of<br />
attacks,Luke Shanks finally scored.<br />
Perhaps the outcome was sealed in<br />
Ashley’s favour in the opening momentsof<br />
the second half whenKorbynGray seized<br />
an intercept while Hurunuiwas hot on<br />
attack. Gray backed himself for 75 metres<br />
and, after convertinghis own try, Ashley<br />
had extendedits leadto195.<br />
Hurunui immediately returned to attack<br />
and Simon <strong>North</strong>cote evaded many<br />
tacklersfrom 30 metres outtoscore.<br />
The seesaw nature of the gamecontinued<br />
and Ashley thenscored its thirdtry<br />
afteraseries of mauls on the Hurunui line,<br />
before Hurunui again returned in kind.<br />
Hurunui did mostofthe attacking in the<br />
finalexchanges, but asolid Ashleydefence<br />
held firm to protect its sevenpoint<br />
advantage.<br />

that he was there to play, with asuperb<br />

It was not until the 15th minute that<br />
Oxford workedits way on to attackand,<br />
after asustained buildup,fullback Angus<br />
Mitchelldived over for atry. Three<br />
minutes later, halfbackMattRoberts, who<br />
had an impressive allroundgame,crossed<br />
for the first of his two firsthalf tries.<br />
As halftime approached,McCallum<br />
scored an opportunist try which he<br />
converted for Ohokatoregain the lead,but<br />
it was shortlived as Mako Prescott<br />
immediately scored for Oxford.<br />
Bothteams tightenedtheirdefensive<br />
workinthe secondhalf, limitingeach<br />
side’s scoring to one try each.<br />
NickInch scored for Oxford while<br />
Taylor capped an industriouseffortfor<br />
Ohoka by scoring his secondtry.<br />
Oxford’s loose forward trio of Stew<br />
Dalzell,who always seemed to be on hand<br />
to make the vital tackle, Danny Brooker<br />
and Logan Telfer got through apower of<br />
workand kept their team going forward.<br />
Oxford’s backs alsoperformed<br />
honourably. It is ayoungbackline, but they<br />
showed they had improvedconsiderably<br />
on their form from earlier in the season.<br />

Saracens fought back in the second half<br />
with two MarkSmith pushover tries, but<br />
any hopes of awin wereextinguished<br />

Weedkiller<br />
stance<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Apublic backlash has forced the<br />
Christchurch CityCouncil to scrap plans<br />
to reintroduce glyphosate use, but the<br />
Waimakariri DistrictCouncilsays the<br />
herbicide,commonly known as<br />
Roundup,can be usedsafely.<br />
‘‘When used correctly we haveno<br />
concernsabout using it,’’ the council’s<br />
GreenSpace manager GrantMacLeod<br />
says.‘‘Wemake surethat in Waimakariri<br />
we use Roundup in the safest way we<br />
can, follow the manufacturer’s<br />
guidelines for its use,aswell as requiring<br />
contractorstouse PPE (personal<br />
protectiveequipment) and puttingup<br />
signage saying spraying is occurring<br />
when it is in use.’’<br />
The GreenSpace team also uses weed<br />
eaters and handpicking methods. ‘‘We<br />
only use Roundup in areaswherewe<br />
have to, andtry and reduce use by applying<br />
mulchtoshrub bedstosuppress<br />
weeds. It is mostly used aroundhard surfacessuch<br />
as footpathsand pathways.’’<br />
Kaiapoi Community Board<br />
chairwoman Chris Greengrass recalls<br />
the concerns raised in 2016over council<br />
use of glyphosate to control weeds near<br />
the KaiapoiRiver and other waterways.<br />
‘‘Theboard,onawhole, did not support<br />
the use of chemical weed control.<br />
‘‘I don’t recall thistopicbeing brought<br />
to the tableagain for the board’s<br />
consideration but in my opinion, and<br />
because of casual conversationswith<br />
members of the community, most are<br />
concerned aboutthe wellbeing of both<br />
people and wildlife. In saying that, Ido<br />
believe council staff are very responsible<br />
and have high expectations from contractorsthat<br />
they willtake utmost care.’’<br />

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)<br />
GOD -HIS NATURE<br />
What does the Bible declare about it’s author -God?<br />
Is he an angry, hard, exacting creator, oraloving<br />
merciful creator who tolerates all things?<br />
Numbers 14:18 states -‘TheLORD is longsuffering,<br />
and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and<br />
transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty,<br />
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children<br />
unto the third and fourth generation’.<br />
John 3:15 states -‘For God so loved the world that<br />
he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever<br />
believeth in him should not perish, but have<br />
everlasting life’.<br />
