Mystery 

surrounds 

boom 

Avote of confidence in Kaikoura 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Mystery surroundsaloudboom heardin 

the LoburnOkuku area on Sunday. 

It shook houses, rattled windows and 

doors, and sent catsand dogs into aspin. 

It also sent emergency services on a 

fruitlesssearch. 

One Okuku resident said their house 

shuddered, andthe windows andtheir 

porchroofing ironrattled,asthe cat fled. 

‘‘I thoughtshe had knockedthe wood 

pile overonthe porch,but therewas 

nothing out of place,’’ Letitia Schroeder 

said. 

PrincipalRural Fire Officer Bruce 

Janes, who lives in Barkers Road, 

Loburn,saidhealso heard the boom, 

whichsent him running to his woodshed 

thinking somethingheavy had hit it. 

However, everything was intact. 

‘‘It wasn’tsomeone setting spray cans 

on fire. Iknow what thatsoundslike.’’ 

Firefighters werecalled out to Swamp 

Road,Loburn,at10.13am, with people 

reportingthere might have been an 

incident in theAshley riverbed. 

‘‘Firemen returned home mystified, 

and none the wiser,’’ Mr Janessaid. 

Many took to Facebook, with one 

residentsaying it feltlike ahuge thump 

against the house.Another reported it 

shaking theirhouse,whileanother said 

‘‘it nearly blew my windows out’’. 

It appeared to havecome from the 

riverend of Swamp Road. 

Thoughtshave now turnedtoitbeing a 

possible meteorexplosion. Being 

daylight, it may not havebeen seen. 

Oxford Observatory volunteer James 

Moffat saidseveral meteors wereseen 

over the weekend, as it is the seasonfor 

meteor showers. Afew wereseen from 

the observatory on Fridayevening.

lackofinternational tourists 

visiting thetown because of

The project, which could be 

runningbyspring next year, 

willcreate up to 25 jobsand a 

$4 million economic benefitto 

the region over fiveyears, he 

said.

she says. 

However, much neededto 

be worked through before it

Progress on 

safety plans 

By DAVIDHILL 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon is 

pleased to see progress being made 

with proposed road safety 

improvements in Woodend. 

Mr Gordon met with New Zealand 

Transport Agency chief executive 

Nicole Rosie while in Wellington 

recently during alocal government 

meeting. 

He said Waimakariri’s transport 

woes ‘‘got agood hearing’’. 

‘‘I raised with her our district’s 

transport priorities with getting the 

Woodend Bypass on the government 

programme, the proposed safety 

improvements in Woodend, the Skew 

Bridge upgrade and the Southbrook 

alignment.’’ 

The agency announced this month it 

planned to begin work on installing 

traffic signals on State Highway 1 

outside Woodend School later this 

year, aiming to have it ready for the 

start of the 2021 school year. 

An agency spokesperson confirmed 

the design was being completed and 

the community will be updated soon. 

Speed limit concerns around 

Tuahiwi were also raised, Mr Gordon 

said. 

‘‘It was agreed NZTA will work with 

us to find aworkable solution.’’ 

While there was no commitment on 

the major projects, Mr Gordon says he 

will continue to lobby on behalf of the 

council through the regional transport 

committee. 

‘‘Southbrook has significant traffic 

volumes and safety concerns with 

schoolchildren, so we need to be 

identifying solutions.’’

Rangiora Racecourse. Council staff have 

fielded many, too. 

Ialso understand there is apetition 

objecting to the application. 

Iwanttomake it clear thatthe councilis 

not proposing this application. The 

applicant is Taggart EarthmovingLimited 

as aprivate company. 

Anumber of peoplethink thatthe 

council shouldbeable to directlydecline 

receivinganapplication suchasthis from 

the outset. We cannot. 

The council is required to accept a 

resourceconsent application which is 

completed correctly and meets the legal 

requirementsofthe Resource Management 

Act 1991 (RMA). We are legally bound 

to follow thisprocess. 

The council doesnot have the abilityto 

make adecision to approve or decline a 

resourceconsent application before an 

assessmentofthe application is 

undertaken in accordance with the act. 

The reasonistoensurethat applications 

are fairlyassessed in accordancewith the 

legislative requirementswithinthe RMA. 

One of the first processing steps is a 

checkonwhether thereissufficient 

information to understand the proposed 

activity and the potential or actualadverse 

environmental effects that may result. 

Untilthe consentauthority—inthis 

case the council—issatisfied thatithas 

all the informationneeded to understand 

thesematters, it is unable to decide how 

the application will be processed.

Stance on overhead wires disappointing 

Dear Editor, 

It was disappointingtolearn that 

MainPowerhas no plans to place 

undergroundany remaining overhead 

wiring in Kaiapoi in the foreseeable 

future becauseofcosts and other 

factors. 

Iunderstand the reasoning behind 

this decision. 

However, with more than 95% of 

Kaiapoi now with undergroundwiring, 

putting any remaining overheadwiring 

undergroundwould honour the likes of 

Doug Cowan and Murray Ruddenklau, 

who had the visionand foresightto 

beginthe processofputting Kaiapoi’s 

overhead wiring underground in 1973. 

Woulditnot be amagnanimous 

gesture for MainPowertocompletethe 

process begun by these gentlemenby 

2023,the 50th anniversary of when 

conversion of overheadwiring to 

underground wiringstarted. 

This would rid Kaiapoi of any 

unsightlyremaining overhead wiring in 

the process. 

Yours, 

John Moody

Creative approach to 

law-making slated 

By KIM REILLY, Federated Farmers’ 

South Island regional policy manager 

Making goodregulationsrelieson 

following sound, robust and proper lawmaking 

processes. 

The government’s recent approach to 

abill to amend theResource 

Management Act (RMA) instead fell 

somewhere between dancing aroundthe 

lineofproper process, andboldly 

jumping beyond it. 

Ihavealready raisedconcerns about 

the lackofpublicinput into important 

aspectsofthe bill, particularlywhere 

matterswent beyond its intended scope. 

Thoseconcerns onlyintensifiedasthe 

bill workeditsway throughthe 

parliamentary process. 

All majorpolitical parties agreethat 

the RMAneedscomprehensive review 

and reform.Infact, as early as 2018, the 

Government agreedtoatwostage 

reform process. 

Stage1wasto be anarrowscopedbill 

on mattersthatdid notadd significant 

complexityorcosts. Stage 2was to be a 

comprehensive reformofthe entire 

resource managementsystem. 

To facilitate Stage 2reform,the 

governmentset up aworkinggroup, 

whose final report is duebackto 

government this month. 

It was agreed thatStage 2was where 

complexissues,such as the interaction 

betweenthe RMA and climate change 

policy, weretobe considered. 

The government’s own background 

documents made it clearsuch matters 

required significant consultation witha 

range of stakeholders to understand 

viewsand practical implications on the 

ground. 

As climate change wasnot included 

within the bill when it was released for 

submissions, submitters didnot knowto 

submit on it, provideevidence,orraiseit 

during selectcommittee hearings. 

However, ahundred or so individuals 

did submit, sayingthat climatechange 

shouldhavebeen partofthe bill. 

The select committee’s responseto 

thisfeedbackshould have been that 

Cabinet had agreed it wastoo important 

to be considered as part of thenarrow 

bill,and that it would be addressed 

throughthe comprehensiveStage2 

reform. 

Instead, the select committee addedit 

on to the bill after submissionsand 

hearingshadfinished,withno 

opportunity forother submitters or 

councils to provide views or evidence. 

Of evenmore concern, is thatfurther 

significantchanges were madetothe bill

❛The government’s recent 

approach to abill to amend the 

Resource Management Act fell 

somewhere between dancing

process, and boldly jumping 

beyond it.❜ 

via whatisknownasSupplementary 

Order Papers (SOPs),presented to the 

Housethe daythe billwas passed(June 

24,2020). 

Thesesignificantlastminute 

additions includedprovision for 

regulations to be made aroundfarm 

plans,and fertiliser monitoringand 

reporting. 

Neither of thesematters just 

‘‘appeared’’ on the Government’s radar 

in June 2020. They wereclearly 

considered well beforethistime,but the 

decisionwas made to circumvent good 

process. 

Government papersfromJuly 2019 

discussed howthe governmentcould 

turn the existingframeworkofindustryledfarmplans 

into ariskbased 

regulatory regime withmandatory, 

enforceable farmplans, and 

infringementoffences. 

It wasnotedthat while including such 

mattersinthe billitself would allowthe 

public to properlysubmit, that this 

important process risked delayingthe 

bill. 

Ultimately, it wasdecided to instead 

addthese matters to the billvia aSOPat 

theend of the process after public 

submissions, to avoid delayingthe bill’s 

passing. 

To be clear,the concept of mandatory, 

enforceablefarmplans, which were 

open to infringement offences whennot 

met, werenot discussed withfarmers, or 

thesector, at anypart of the billprocess, 

or the separate Actionfor Healthy 

Waterwaysfreshwaterreform process. 

All thesemajoradditionstothe bill 

were foundtoonlypartially meet 

government’s qualityassurance criteria, 

duetothe lackof publicinputor 

consultationoneach. 

Fundamental changes to ourresource 

management system aretoo importantto 

rush and get wrong. 

Beingcreativeis an admirabletrait in 

most aspectsofKiwiingenuity. It is not, 

however,when it comestoadhering to 

NewZealand’sdemocratic lawmaking 

processes.

EARLY CHILDHOOD 


Education: So much more than teaching 

By KATINA BEAUCHAMP 

Education: noun.Aprocess of 

teaching, training and learning, 

especially in school, collegesor 

universities,toimprove 

knowledge and developskills. 

(Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries) 

Tellingly, this definition does 

not eveninclude early childhood 

education (ECE).However, as 

has been made abundantly clear 

during the lockdown, there is so 

much moretoeducation than 

teaching, training, and learning. 

During the weeks teachers, 

parents, and children were at 

home,the education sector, 

particularly ECE, wasrecognised 

as the essential part of society 

that it is. 

When earlychildhoodcentres 

had to close in the face of Covid 

19, this had adramatic flowon 

effect on families. 

The most often talkedabout 

effect was that manyfamilies had 

to reconfigure their lives and 

integrate parenting, entertaining, 

and teachingtheiryoung 

children, often whileworking 

from home at the sametime. 

However, how to occupy 

youngsters represents onlypart 

of the story. 

Childrenhad to come to terms 

with disrupted routines, being 

away from their friends and their 

social environment, as well as 

theirteachers. 

This leftmany teachers 

worried and,despite the logistics 

of physical separation, they 

managed to maintaincontact 

with children and parents. 

Centres and teachers did their 

besttoreach out andconnect 

withthe centrewhanau.There 

are many stories of how early 

childhood teachers ensured they 

keptintouchwith their tamariki 

via Zoom,social media or other 

ways, to continuewith learning 

but also to let children and 

families know they werenot so 

isolatedastobealone (He Panui 

Kohungahunga,2020). Some 

teachers held virtual storytimes, 

others conducted music sessions, 

posted photosand videos. 

The simpleact of seeing 

familiar facesand hearing each 

other’s voicescan make all the 

difference duringdifficult times. 

Thishelped not only to bridge 

overtimesofboredombut, more 

importantly, kept the dialogue 

going and generate afeeling that 

the communitywas still there 

and provided support. 

There was alsoconcern for 

those children and parents who 

relyonspecific support. 

Amongst the various roles ECE 

has in New Zealand society, early 

childhood centres are seen as a 

safeplace of respite fromstress 

at home. 

The knowledge thatthere are 

childrenwho require additional 

support, even rely on the centre 

for food, and would have to go 

without this support structure 

provided by centres, weighed 

heavily on many teachers. 

It has neverbeen clearer than 

throughout these difficult times: 

Kaiako (teachers) in ECE are so 

muchmore than babysitters, and 

thereissomuch more to 

education than learning. 

Being an early childhood 

Adaptability needed ... Many families had to reconfigure their lives 

and integrate parenting, entertaining, and teaching their young children 

into their work lives during the Covid19 lockdown.

teachingprofessionals are 

trainedtoapply aholistic view 

and to understand children as an 

integral partoftheirfamilyand 

wider community. Teaching and 

learningworksbest if it involves 

parentsand caregivers. 

However, there is more to this 

interconnectedness than 

teaching and learning. 

Te Whariki,our early 

childhoodcurriculum,expects 

kaiakotogobeyondworking with 

the community, i.e. to understand 

and be part of thecommunity, to 

establishreciprocal 

relationships with families and 

whanau. 

ECE teachers literally do not 

work in isolation at their centres; 

they are part of the parent 

community and often the local 

community as well,and as such 

the sense of belongingworks both 

ways. 

At its best it culminates in 

peoplereaching out and taking

Oxford men’sshed set to expand 

By DAVID HILL 

TheOxford’s men’s shed is 

readytoexpand. 

The OxfordOhoka 

Community Board recently 

backedplans for the McIver’s 

OxfordCommunityMen’s Shed 

to build a10metre extensionon 

itsbuildingatthePearson Park 

oval. 

Men’sshedchairman Raymon 

Charlessaystheextension will 

create ametalworkshop. 

‘‘Thebuildingconsent is going 

through at the moment. It will 

complement the existing shop, 

which is for woodwork and a 

little bit of metal.’’ 

The project is expected to cost 

$25,000 to $30,000, withthe 

men’s shedhaving raised onethirdofthe 

cost already. It will 

nowseekacommunity grant. 

To boost itscoffers, asales 

area hasbeenestablished at the 

shed where the volunteerssell 

their wares, and therewillbea 

men’s shed stallbackatthe 

Oxford Farmers’Marketin the 

warmer spring weather. 

Last year, the men’s shed 

made abatterypowered toy 

which was raffled off just before 

Christmas, and asimilar project 

is in the pipeline this year,Mr 

Charlessays. 

Sale itemsincludechopping 

boards, trays and birdfeeders, 

which have been made by shed 

members and make ideal gifts. 

The men’s shed has more than 

40 members and regularly works 

on communityprojects, 

including making picnic tables. 

The shed is open on Tuesdays 

❛The evenings are 

popular, but we find 

the older chaps 

struggle with the cold 

nights in the winter.❜ 

—Raymon Charles 

from 7pm to 9pm, Thursdays 

from 10am to 12pm and 7pm to 

9pm, and Saturdays from 10am 

to 2pm. 

The Tuesday evening session 

is open to women and the 

evening and Saturday sessions 

tend to be the most popular, as 

severalmembers work during 

the day, MrCharlessays. 

‘‘We aretoyingwiththe ideaof 

openingwithanother daytime 

session during the week. 

‘‘The evenings are popular, 

but we find the older chaps 

struggle with the coldnights in 

the winter.’’ 

Mr Charles says the strength of 

the men’sshedsissupporting 

oldermen who may otherwise 

becomeisolated in their

Telescope 

due soon 

The OxfordArea School 

Observatory’s view of the cosmos is 

about to get bigger. 

Anew computerised 12inch 

telescope has been ordered to 

complement the existing 10inch 

telescope. The observatory’s 

volunteers can’t wait. 

VolunteerErik Vermaat says the 

new telescope will give the 

observatory more flexibility as well 

as aclearer view of the heavens. 

‘‘We’ve alwaysbeen thinking 

about a16inchtelescope,but 

we’vehad to revise our funding 

expectations. But the 12inch has 

very good optics and it’s 

computerised, so it will be much 

easier to point the telescope. 

‘‘We will have it soon, which is 

fantastic news as the whole team 

will be able to operateitand we’re 

not just dependent on one person.’’ 

While the observatory had alate 

start to the seasonbecause of the 

lockdown, it has held two 

successful open nights so far, with 

others planned for August14and 

September 18. 

Anew booking system has been 

introduced this year, with two onehoursessions 

at 7pm and 8pm 

offered each open night, with 

numbers limited to 15 asession. 

Night classes are also resuming 

next week. 

Open nights can be added or 

cancelleddepending on the 

weather. This is updated on the

Oxford is enjoying apostlockdown 

retail boom. 

Retailers are feeling the love as the 

North Canterbury town has become a 

destination again after Covid19 

restrictions were eased. 

Jannz Craft Shop owner Janne Clare 

says the town is ‘‘buzzing’’, especially 

during weekends, with visitors coming 

from Amberley, Nelson, Blenheim, 

Rolleston, Ashburton, Hokitika and 

Christchurch. 

‘‘It’s absolutely an awesome time. The 

‘shop local’ message is working and we 

are getting alot of outoftowners. 

‘‘Oxford is very much adestination at 

the moment and we are feeling well 

supported.’’ 

Arts in Oxford is running an ‘‘Open 

House Project’’ until September 13, with 

seven North Canterbury artists in 

residence. Word is getting out, local 

artist Jo Ernsten says. 

‘‘We’ve had tonnes of visitors. It’s 

really good. Alot of people from all over 

Canterbury are coming to see what the 

buzz is about after seeing it on 

Facebook.’’ 

She says the project means people can 

pop in and talk to the artists and see 

what they are doing. 

‘‘We had one elderly woman who came 

and sat down to do her knitting and talk 

to us. It’s all about connecting.’’

Gillard says there has been ‘‘incredible 

support from the whole community’’. 

‘‘People are making adefinite effort to

normally go overseas are holidaying 

locally and people are driving around 

and spending in little shops. 

‘‘We still don’t know what the future

But I’m standing here and moving

‘‘It’s been going really well. I’ve had a

Farmers gear up for calving 

By DAVID HILL 

NorthCanterbury farmers are hopingfor 

some normality as calving begins. 

With calving startingthis week on most 

dairyfarms in the region,Federated 

Farmers North Canterbury dairy 

chairman KarlDean says the new season 

is tracking welldespitethe challenges of 

the lockdown, Mycoplasma bovis and last 

season’s dry conditions. 

Lastyear’scold winter 

resulted in alate start to 

calving,but this season’s 

mildconditions mean 

farmers are in good 

spirits despite the 

winter rain. 

‘‘Wewill be starting 

calving in late July and 

Karl Dean 

early August and 

everyone seems to be on 

track. Ithinkmost 

people have tightened up calvings and the 

payout was up, so peoplewill have 

investedabit to try to make the most of it 

this year. 

‘‘I think everybodywould have likedthe 

rain abit soonerinthe year,but with the 

mild winter so far, the grass is growing 

faster than normal and the soil 

temperature is warmer than average.’’ 

Cam Henderson ... ‘‘As employers, you have to be loyal to your employees.’’ 

Federated Farmers NorthCanterbury 

president Cameron Henderson saysafter 

last year’sslowstart, calving has started 

earlyonhis Oxford farm. While wet and 

muddy conditions are making fora 

challengingwinter,MrHenderson hopes 

it will set farmers up for agoodsummer. 

‘‘We’vehad regular rain over the last few 

weeks and the aquifers are starting to fill 

up again. 

‘‘It’s muddy, but otherwisethe 

conditionsare pretty reasonable. If we get 

an easy winter,wetend to end up paying 

the priceinthe summer.’’ 

PHOTOS: FILE 

Mr Dean says the biggest challengefor 

farmers heading into the new season is 

securing experiencedworkersfor the next 

few months. 

‘‘There are fewer migrant workers 

around now and thosewho went homeare 

having trouble gettingback into the 

country.’’ 

In some cases,possessionsare still in a 

houseonthe farm. 

‘‘As employers, you have to be loyal to 

your employees. Thefarmer can’t just go 

and take on anew employee. You can’t 

just go and empty out the house.’’ 

Feds to mark 75th anniversary in October 

The celebrations are backonfor 

Federated Farmers North Canterbury. 

The provincial group will now mark its 

75th anniversary on Friday, October 16, at 

Waipara, after the event was postponed in 

May because of the lockdown. 

PresidentCameronHenderson says the 

eventwill be held at the Waipara Springs 

Winery and will includethe province’s 

annual meeting. 

‘‘Hopefully, the election will be over by 

then. Compared to the lastelection, when 

we were in the spotlight, it’sgood thatthe 

focus isn’t on farming.’’ 

Cannabis and hemphave been ahot 

topic in the leadup to the referendum, 

withmuch attention on the risksof 

smoking cannabis. 

‘‘People seemed to be focused on the 

smoking of cannabis,but there’s alot of 

development thatcould go into that space 

under the right conditions. 

‘‘There’s so many thingsthat can be 

madeout of it,’’ Mr Henderson says.

Farmers 

coping well 

Asurvey of North Canterbury’s droughtstrickenfarmers 

has foundmost are 

coping well. 

The North CanterburyRural Support 

Trust conducted atelephone survey of 

more than 500 farmers to gauge how 

communities were coping,and to 

improveawareness of industryand 

government supportpackages. 

Summerweather hadcreated dry 

conditions.Significant rainfall came in 

May and June, but it was not enough to 

rechargegroundwater. This left many 

respondents nervous about the prospect 

of heavysnow and scarcefeed supplies. 

Significant July rains meant some 

ponds were filling,but more rain was 

needed to ensure afull recharge of the 

soil profile and to boostspring growth. 

Lessons have been learned from past 

droughts, with farming systemsnow 

more aligned to the area’s climate. 

Decisions todestock were made early 

and many had good feed supplies,which 

are now being fed out. 

But the survey foundthat even well 

organised feedplanners would be tight 

for feed come the spring. 

Thosewith irrigationreported much 

healthier feedlevels,leaving some to 

wonder whether water storagehad been 

alost opportunity.

Ashley stays in semi-final hunt 

RUGBY 

By LINDSAY KERR and PETER WILLIAMS 

Ashley keptits hopes of asemifinal berth 

aliveafteraspirited 2619 winagainst 

Hurunui in the latest round of North 

Canterbury rugbylastSaturday. 

The game, played at Ashley’s impressive 

home ground, liveduptoits billing, with 

both sides playingpositive rugby. 

Ashley scored first in the opening 

quarter and never relinquishedthe lead. 

However, Hurunui stayed in contention 

throughoutand was stillinwinning 

contention in the finalquarter. 

Ashley lostakey figure in halfback 

BrentCameronwith an injury in the 

opening exchanges. His replacement, 

Luke Gold, did not let the side down. 

Afterasustained early attack,Naaria 

WilsonBairds crashed over in awall of 

jerseys to score Ashley’s firsttry. 

ScottBarberstretched this to 120 after 

13 minutes, following ablindsidemove. 

Hurunui got itselfinto the game in the 

second quarter and, after aswarm of 

attacks,Luke Shanks finally scored. 

Perhaps the outcome was sealed in 

Ashley’s favour in the opening momentsof 

the second half whenKorbynGray seized 

an intercept while Hurunuiwas hot on 

attack. Gray backed himself for 75 metres 

and, after convertinghis own try, Ashley 

had extendedits leadto195. 

Hurunui immediately returned to attack 

and Simon Northcote evaded many 

tacklersfrom 30 metres outtoscore. 

The seesaw nature of the gamecontinued 

and Ashley thenscored its thirdtry 

afteraseries of mauls on the Hurunui line, 

before Hurunui again returned in kind. 

Hurunui did mostofthe attacking in the 

finalexchanges, but asolid Ashleydefence 

held firm to protect its sevenpoint 

advantage.

corner. Patrick McCallum served notice 

that he was there to play, with asuperb 

sideline conversion,followed soonafter by 

apenalty goal to put Ohoka ahead 100. 

It was not until the 15th minute that 

Oxford workedits way on to attackand, 

after asustained buildup,fullback Angus 

Mitchelldived over for atry. Three 

minutes later, halfbackMattRoberts, who 

had an impressive allroundgame,crossed 

for the first of his two firsthalf tries. 

As halftime approached,McCallum 

scored an opportunist try which he 

converted for Ohokatoregain the lead,but 

it was shortlived as Mako Prescott 

immediately scored for Oxford. 

Bothteams tightenedtheirdefensive 

workinthe secondhalf, limitingeach 

side’s scoring to one try each. 

NickInch scored for Oxford while 

Taylor capped an industriouseffortfor 

Ohoka by scoring his secondtry. 

Oxford’s loose forward trio of Stew 

Dalzell,who always seemed to be on hand 

to make the vital tackle, Danny Brooker 

and Logan Telfer got through apower of 

workand kept their team going forward. 

Oxford’s backs alsoperformed 

honourably. It is ayoungbackline, but they 

showed they had improvedconsiderably 

on their form from earlier in the season.

simple things and before half timethe side 

had scoredthreetriesand led 187. 

Saracens fought back in the second half 

with two MarkSmith pushover tries, but 

any hopes of awin wereextinguished 

when Glenmark scored again.

Apublic backlash has forced the 

Christchurch CityCouncil to scrap plans 

to reintroduce glyphosate use, but the 

Waimakariri DistrictCouncilsays the 

herbicide,commonly known as 

Roundup,can be usedsafely. 

‘‘When used correctly we haveno 

concernsabout using it,’’ the council’s 

GreenSpace manager GrantMacLeod 

says.‘‘Wemake surethat in Waimakariri 

we use Roundup in the safest way we 

can, follow the manufacturer’s 

guidelines for its use,aswell as requiring 

contractorstouse PPE (personal 

protectiveequipment) and puttingup 

signage saying spraying is occurring 

when it is in use.’’ 

The GreenSpace team also uses weed 

eaters and handpicking methods. ‘‘We 

only use Roundup in areaswherewe 

have to, andtry and reduce use by applying 

mulchtoshrub bedstosuppress

Kaiapoi Community Board 

chairwoman Chris Greengrass recalls 

the concerns raised in 2016over council 

use of glyphosate to control weeds near 

the KaiapoiRiver and other waterways. 

‘‘Theboard,onawhole, did not support 

the use of chemical weed control. 

‘‘I don’t recall thistopicbeing brought 

to the tableagain for the board’s

because of casual conversationswith

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52) 

GOD -HIS NATURE 

What does the Bible declare about it’s author -God? 

Is he an angry, hard, exacting creator, oraloving 

merciful creator who tolerates all things? 

Numbers 14:18 states -‘TheLORD is longsuffering, 

and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and 

transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, 

visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children 

unto the third and fourth generation’. 

John 3:15 states -‘For God so loved the world that 

he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever 

believeth in him should not perish, but have 

everlasting life’.
