An interesting turn of events
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The poleman is on amission. Don
Scott,ofNorth Canterbury, is
keen to find out the age of his
huge Britishmade Newbold
Machine Tool Company lathe.
Don has owned thelathefor 20
years.Hehas usedittoturn
horse jumprails.
When he was maderedundant
from his job afew years back, he
modified it to enable him to
manufacturelarger poles for
building construction.
Now it is aonepass lathe that
can remove 100mmofwood off a
log up to 5.2m long.
Don has always believed his
lathe was 120 years old. But in
recentweeks awoman who
visited to pickupsome jump rails
said it was mucholder than that.
Don immediately asked how on
Earth she knew.
‘‘It’swritten on that leg,’’she
replied.
To Don’s astonishment,
painted on one of the legswas
1856, and the word‘‘Lyttleton’’.
This meansitisatleast164
years old, and counting.
‘‘I’veowneditfor 20 yearsand
never noticed that at all. Nor has
anyoneelse (in my defence).So,
yes, Iwas gobsmacked.’’
He has visited the
Christchurch libraryonaquest to
discover what ship it mighthave
arrived on,who imported it, and
anything else aboutit.
He has so far comeupemptyhanded.
‘‘I really wouldlove to know
what it wasbrought here to do. I
was told it was to buildlog cabins,
but I’ve neverseen old log cabins
with turned poles or photos
which would suggest thatuse.
‘‘I can’t imagine how it could
have been steampowered, but I
also can’t thinkofany other way
it was powered.’’

jump rails to ensure theyare of
good quality and strength.
‘‘I experimented with pine,but
the firmakes afar superior rail.’’
His rails have since been sold
all over New Zealand. He has had
inquiries from as far away as
Britain.
Don knows exactly what kind
of tree transforms intoaquality
rail.
His pineconstruction poles,
whichare treated after turning,
are also sought after,especially
among builders or homeowners
seeking aneat, uniformproduct.

Council boss to leave in March
By DAVID HILL
Waimakariri District Council chief
executive Jim Palmer is leaving his role
next March, after 17 years.
‘‘I’m fortunate to leave the council in a
strong position, with acommitted and
skilled team of colleagues and council
members who will continue to lead the
organisation and continue building our
excellent community,’’ he said.
The Waimakariri is ahighgrowth
district, which emerged from the
Canterbury earthquakes as one of the
most popular residential destinations in
the region.
Significant growth is forecast to
continue.
The council was recently awarded a
second AA rating under the Local
Government Excellence Programme —
one of two councils out of 33 nationwide
to achieve the honour.
Last year, Standard and Poors
confirmed the council would maintain
its AA/A1+ credit rating.
‘‘This move is something Ihave been
talking about for awhile now,’’ Mr
Palmer said.
‘‘It will provide afresh start for me and
the council. This has been an exciting
❛Jim is areal leader and well
regarded throughout the
country.❜
—Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon
and highly rewarding position, and I’m
pleased to be handing over such a
capable organisation with agood
outlook.’’
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon says
Mr Palmer will be missed.
‘‘Jim is areal leader and well regarded
throughout the country.
‘‘Through the earthquakes he
demonstrated exceptional leadership
which helped our district recover and,
following that, supported Kaikoura in
recovering from its own earthquake.
‘‘He is also having asignificant input
into the Covid19 response and recovery.
‘‘On top of this, he’s outstanding at the
businessasusual aspects of running a
large organisation.’’
The council will appoint an external
recruiter by September to help select the
new chief executive.
Jim Palmer ... Leaving in March.

Dismayoverloss of river trees
By SHELLEY TOPP
The felling of 500 trees in the
Ashley Rakahuri Regional
Park has left some visitors to
the area shocked and
disappointed.
The trees, which had
surrounded apicturesque
walkway near the West Belt
entrance to the park in
Rangiora, were felled by
Environment Canterbury
(ECan) last week during the
completion of work to protect
Rangiora and Kaiapoi from
the threat of river flooding.
However, park users say
the affected area was a
special part of the park, used
by many to walk, run, cycle,
exercise their dogs, and just
relax. Because of this, the
community should have been
consulted before the decision
was made to remove the
trees.
Alison Clay, aregular
visitor to the park with her
dog, Jafa, says she is
saddened to see the
‘‘beautiful walkway
massacred’’.
‘‘For what? How does it
stop flooding?’’
Cyclist Bernadette
Canavan, who is another
regular park visitor with her
dog, Nugget, was also
disappointed that so many
trees had been felled.
‘‘I felt very saddened when
Isaw the trees. This was my
favourite place to ride my
bike and now all that beauty
has been destroyed.’’
ECan regional lead in river
engineering Shaun
McCracken says the felled
trees were between the
primary and secondary
stopbanks. ‘‘In the event of a
breach of the primary
stopbank, the flood flow is
channelled back into the
river by the secondary bank.
‘‘The problem with trees in
this particular area is that
they slow the water down and
restrict its passage through
this critical zone and back
into the river downstream of
the rail bridge.
‘‘Modelling of flood flows
through this area indicated
that, with the trees in place,
overflows into Rangiora were
likely.
‘‘This is arisk we are
unwilling to accept.’’
However, aMinistry for the
Environment report
published in 2008 concluded
that ‘‘flood damage during
major New Zealand floods is
rarely caused by floods
exceeding design protection
levels on stopbanks on
rivers’’.
‘‘It is more often caused by
unpredictable breaches of a
weak point in astopbank
when the river is below bankfull
stage; or overflow of
backedup tributaries on to
land behind stopbanks when
the river is close to bankfull;
or spillage across floodways
...’’
It states: ‘‘These risks do
not change even when
afforestation is factored in.’’

School opens in ayear to remember
By DAVID HILL
NorthCanterbury’s newestprimaryschool
took amoment to celebrate on Friday,
afterachallenging first six months.
Te Matauru Primary School was
officially opened last Friday, with
Waimakariri MayorDan Gordon, local MP
Matt Doocey and neighbouring school
principals attending.
In aprerecorded message, Education
Minister Chris Hipkins said it was a
special day as the first new primary school
to open in the region (aside from Pegasus
Bay School) in 52 years.
‘‘This is areally challenging timefor
youngpeople, but it’s even more
challenging whenyour school opened just
six weeks beforethe lockdown.’’
Mr Hipkinssaid having warm,modern
school buildingswas important, ‘‘but what
happens inside those buildingsiseven
more important’’.
Principal Danny Nichollssaid he was
pleased be able to markthe official
opening, after the lockdown threw ‘‘a
really big curveball’’sosoon after the
school opened for pupils in February.
‘‘The challengefor us wasthe same as
for the other schools,but we didn’t have
that background of knowing the families.
But it broughtuscloser together, so we felt
astrong trust from the community.’’
Planning for the new school began in
2014, with the establishment Board of
Trusteesappointed in 2018.
Establishment board chairman Peter
Simpson saidthere weretimes when the
new board ‘‘hadtobestrong,tobebrave
and to have heart’’ duringthe long
planning process.
‘‘To the tamariki (children), it was
excitingtosee you finally walk in on that
first day. No matterwhat you go on to do
from now, know that you madehistory.’’
Mr Simpson thankedNgai Tuahuririfor
the school’s name and narrative, with Te
Matauru meaning ‘‘eyes to the west’’ which
describes the school’s positioning towards
Mt Grey. The school’s narrativeor
whakatauki, Ekea Ka TaumataKiTeUru,
means “look to the peaks of the alps and
ascendtogreat heights”.

New stadium ayear away
Stadium Waimakariri remains on track
to open next year.
With just ayear to go, Waimakariri
Mayor Dan Gordon and councillors
toured the site last week alongside staff
from the North Canterbury Sport and
Recreation Trust, which will manage
the facility.
‘‘It’s great to be able to have this
sneak peek,’’ Mr Gordon said. ‘‘I think
our residents are going to be very
pleased. Our contractors are doing a
great job, progress is on track, and it’s
going to be aterrific asset for our
community.’’
Local sporting clubs have been
eagerly awaiting the new multiuse
facility as the district’s population and
participation numbers swell.
Basketball is one of the district’s
highparticipation sports and is
challenged by alack of space.
North Canterbury Basketball
Association chairman Gordon Wong
says the stadium will bring welcome
relief. ‘‘Having the stadium will add
untold benefit to the community, lessen
financial strains for participants and
volunteers, and enable organisations
like ours to have apermanent hub.’’
Trust community engagement
manager Caroline Whittaker is keen to
see some big tournaments in the
bookings schedule.
‘‘We want to see wide use of this
fantastic facility by its residents in all
forms, from fitness centre members, to
interest groups and sporting clubs.
‘‘We’ll be working alongside
organisations to create key events in
the calendar, which will add areal
drawcard to our region.’’
The stadium will provide social
benefits by having awide range of
activities at the venue, she says.
‘‘The combination of onsite staff
from the sports clubs to the fitness gym,
health and wellbeing clinics, our centre
management, and of course the people
from our communities will create a
great buzz within the stadium.’’
Despite asmall delay because of the
Covid19 lockdown, the stadium is on
track to open in late July 2021.

OPINION
6 The North Canterbury News, August 6, 2020
Challenges lie ahead
Upcoming changes have the potential to
alter the integrity and purpose of local
government.
Historically, the Hurunui District
Council has punched well above its
weight in respect to service delivery.
We pride ourselves on the values that
encompass the wellbeing of local
government.
However, in August, the government
will bring in more exemptions for work
that does not require abuilding consent.
This work includes sleepouts that do not
have any sanitary fixtures or kitchen,
groundfloor verandas up to 30 square
metres, carports up to 40 square metres,
and hay barns up to 110 square metres
provided they are not above ahigh wind
zone.
This provides people with the option
not to apply for aconsent, but it does
mean more stringent requirements that
require engineers or licensed building
practitioners.
My advice is to speak with our friendly
building team to assess your individual
situation to ensure you achieve the best
outcome. The bottom line is the code
must be met regardless of aconsent or
not.
August is also atime when our council
is required to decide on whether to
progress and accept agovernment
“stimulus package” associated with the
proposed Three Waters reform.
Following Havelock North’s water
contamination, as well as over the last
three years, the government has been
considering solutions facing the
regulation and delivery of the three
waters services —that is, drinking
water, waste and storm water.
This has seen the development of new
legislation and the creation of the new
water services regulator, Taumata
Arowai.
Your elected members are keeping
well abreast of the process, with the
decision pending to “optin” and sign a
nonbinding memorandum of
understanding to receive the first of the
stimulus packages. However, on going to
print, Iamunaware of the financial
grant allocation that we will receive,
which will be allocated to pipe upgrades
and improvement to services.
Early in 2021, we will be working
through aspecial consultation process
to engage with you and consider your
opinion to commit to the second tranche
of this proposal, by August 2021.
Should we continue, we will be
expected to hand over the water delivery
component to aCrown entity.
This is asignificant decision, one that
we will work with you on to achieve, as
the repercussion of this will be the loss
of influence over acritical asset.
During the week Ihad the opportunity
to meet with all of our staff who deliver
water services, with achance for aquick
thankyou. They are always there for
you, so akind word of thanks was
appreciated.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Medicinal cannabis is already allowed under existing law
Dear Editor,
For some who may vote for the
legalisation of cannabis for the
reason of medication, this is already
legalised.
On reading the pamphlet sent by the
Electoral Commission, Inotice this fact
is written in white print on ayellow
back ground, which could be quite hard
to read for some.
Here is what is written: ‘‘What's not
included? The proposed bill does not
cover medicinal cannabis, hemp,

Seat honours memory of Des
By SHELLEY TOPP
Amemorial seat for the late Des
Moore has been installed at the
Rangiora grounds of the North
Canterbury Riding for the
Disabled Association (RDA).
Des, who died last December,
was an energetic, inspirational
visionary who dreamt of
establishing the North
Canterbury branch of the RDA.
He worked tirelessly to achieve
that goal and became the
association’s founding president
and alife member along the way.
The memorial seat for Des was
unveiled by his widow, Rita, and
their sons and daughters during
afunction held at the
association’s grounds last
Sunday afternoon.
‘‘Des’s life was about service to
others and service above self,’’
Rita said.
‘‘His dream was to have an
RDA in North Canterbury and,
with the help of all you people,
and many hours of hard work, his
dream became real and true.
‘‘This is evident in the facilities
that we can see here today.’’
He died having fulfilled his
dream, leaving the association in
capable hands, so that the riding
programme could continue to
help people with disabilities
experience the enjoyment and
benefits derived from horse
riding.

committee, said her journey
began with the organisation after
Des put an advertisement in a
local newspaper asking for likeminded
people interested in
establishing alocal RDA. People
were invited to attend ameeting
he had organised.
‘‘The rest is history.’’
Des was determined, she said,
and this is the reason the
association exists today, with its
own beautiful grounds and its
own facilities.
‘‘He was an extraordinary,
selfless giver of himself,
dedicated to enriching the life of
those living with difficulties, and
Rita supported him every step of
the way, becoming our topnotch
secretary.’’

Recycling
Rough mulch is being sold at Amberley and Hanmer
transfer stations, and will be sold at Waiau and Culverden
soon. Great for weed suppression. And a reminder that
bokashi kits are also for sale, which help divert waste from
the landfill.
To encourage recycling of agricultural waste, Agrecovery
recycling drop off points are at the Cheviot, Culverden and
Waiau transfer stations and at Amberley PGG Wrightson.
Through these, triple rinsed and empty polyethylene
(HDPE) plastic agri-chemical containers are accepted for
recycling.

October 2021. HDC will receive $2.1 million from the
Government’s infrastructure funding scheme, ($2m) and
the Provincial Growth Fund, (approximately $100,000.)

the area with its construction and operation requirements.
Keep supporting ourlocal
foodbanks
It has been really interesting working with the foodbanks
and seeing first hand the great work they dointhe Hurunui.
As acommunity we expect there to be foodbanks and their
cupboards to be full. The reality is that they are sometimes
struggling too because the demand has nearly doubled. We
are constantly looking for community and organisational
support to ensure the service continues. If you can assist in
any way, please contact Roger Hornblow 033148166

As we head into the tail end of winter it's great to see the
days slowly lengthening. Always agood chance to tap into
new energy and think about what you want to achieve for
the rest ofthe year. Here at HDC we're doing just the same,

Amberley Domain was once home to amajor observatory measuring magnetic variations and storms
caused by the sun. In 1902, amagnetic observatory was established in Christchurch, and relocated to

Pandemic effects ... Logging operations have had avolatile year.
PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Effects of Covid-19 felt
The New Zealand forestry sector has
experienced avolatile run this year after
several yearsofrelative stability, says
ForestryManagementGroup director
CraigMcMiken.
He says the forestry industry was
affected by Covid19 earlier thanother
industries. It began with China’s decision
to extend its annualNew Year holiday by
aweek in January, significantly reducing
demand and price for logs andlumber
destined for the country,MrMcMiken says.
When New Zealand moved to Covid19
alertlevel3,harvesting and silviculture
operations stopped for five weeks.
‘‘Duringthis lockdown, Chinese
customersbecame concerned about
having enoughsupply,which resulted in
the largestincrease in price we have seen
sincethe 1993 price spike.’’
Whilethe lift was nicetohave, in
hindsight it was an overreaction, Mr
McMiken says. ‘‘Supply from New Zealand
and Europehas come back strong, and the
pricelift was shortlived. Generally
domesticprocessors currentlyhave strong
orders but thereisuncertainty looking
aheadatwhetherreduced demand will
eventuate later in the year.’’
His company is busy planting,and hopes
to plant 4000 hectares thisyear.
‘‘This is acombination of replanting
cutover and also new planting.’’
The EmissionsTrading SchemeReform
Bill passedinJune. The fixed priceoption
will be increased from $25 to $35 per New
Zealand unit (NZU).
Auctioning is scheduled to begin in
March2021,with a$20 floor price.
Mr McMikensays theserevisions
provide more longtermconfidenceinthe
priceofNZUs,whichislikelytosee
continued stronginterest in new planting
for sometime.

Wilding trees airlifted out
Wilding Douglas fir logs are being given a
whirlwind trip out of Arthurs Pass.
The trees are above Bruce Stream, in
the Bealey area, on public land
administered by the Department of
Conservation.
They are being cut down and flown out
by aRangiorabased helicopter firm.
The Ministry for Primary Industries has
contracted Southern Heli Lift, owned by
Darren and Lynda Davison, for the work.
Forest Management (FML), which is
part of the Forest Management Group
(FMG), carried out the harvesting
consultation, management marketing and
cartage of the logs.
The trees were planted by the NZ
Forest Service in the mid1960s for
erosion control. However, they have gone
on to cause wilding tree spread.
In its winter newsletter, FMG says there
is no road access into where the Douglas
firs were causing problems, and because
of the environmentally sensitive nature of
the area, road construction was not an
option.
The operation consists of manual tree
felling, trimming and cutting logs to
specific length to optimise the maximum
lift weight. The logs are then lifted, flown
down and dropped on to the riverbed,
avoiding power lines as logs are not
allowed to be lifted over them.
Logs are then carried down the dry
stream bed, crossing the stream over a
driftdeck (temporary bridge) and
dropped over aflood bank.
Here they are cut to millable length and
loaded on trucks for delivery to
customers.
The newsletter says the positive
outcome is that more than 90% of the logs
are sold to, and processed by, Canterbury
Sawmills, not to mention the revenue to
offset the cost of eradicating wilding
exotic trees in the high country.

New forests must
meet local rules
Planting trees can have
positive benefitsifthey are
in the right environment.
Environment Canterbury
(ECan) advises
landowners to contact
theirlocal councilorthe
regional council before
planting,tomake sure the
land and plants are
suitable for plantingand to
ensurecompliance with
district and regional plans.
All new forestry planting
plans need to meet
legislativerequirements of
the Resource Management
Act 1991 (RMA), as well as
complying with regional
and district rules, ECan
says.
This includesplanting
under the Ministryfor
Primary Industries’ (MPI)
One Billion Trees
programme.
‘‘A successful One
Billion Trees funding
application does not
automatically mean the
planting under regional
and district rules can
commence straightaway,’’
ECan says. ‘‘The local and
regional council will be in
touch to inform them of the
application outcome and
any other relevant
guidance.’’
Approvalisneeded
before planting forestry
trees on land where there
is no existing plantation
forestry,harvesting has not
occurred within the last
five years, and does not
include vegetation
clearance from the land
before planting.
‘‘It is essential to ensure
any planting carried out in
Canterbury meets
legislative requirements so
the negative impact on the
environment from planting
is minimaltonone.’’
Negative effects can
include soil slip erosion,
and landscapeand
amenity effects such as
shading or modification of
natural features. There is
also the potential for
wilding conifers to spread
into vulnerableareas,
which can have adverse
effects on the landscape.
‘‘When establishing a
new plantation forest,
consideration of its
location and design is
needed to avoid longterm
environmental, safety and
operational issues,such as
the ability to safely harvest
the crop with limited
effects on neighbouring
properties,’’ ECansays.
Any breach of local and
regional afforestation
rules can result in
enforcement action.

Irrigation body to move
By DAVID HILL
Irrigation New Zealand is settomove its
headquarters from LincolntoWellington.
The lobby groupplans to appointanew
chiefexecutive in Wellington,asCovid19
forces arethink of its operations.
Existing chief executive Elizabeth Soal
will remaininthe roleuntilafter the
election, beforebecoming regional policy
and planning manager to work with
members andlocal authorities to offer
advocacy in the regions.
“As anation we are embarkingonthe
recoveryphase of Covid19 and the
dependability of irrigated production
systems willbecentral to this,’’
chairwoman KeriJohnston says.
“Yet, the general misunderstanding of
the benefitsand positive impacts of
irrigationpersist.’’
Irrigationhas avaluable role to playin
ensuring NewZealand has an
environmentally and economically
sustainable future,MsJohnston says.
“Irrigationisacritical component of a
vibrantand environmentally sustainable
agriculturaland horticultural economy,
andwewill workhard towardsensuring
that irrigation remains an integral part of
ahealthyand thriving Aotearoa New
Zealand.’’
Students to fill summer roles
Lincoln University studentsare set to
plug the gaps in the rural contracting
labour pool this summer.
With the rural sector strugglingtofill
vacancies because of alack of migrant
workers, the university is relaxing its
rules around compulsory practical work
requirements to include contracting.
Agribusiness lecturer Dan Smith says
large numbers of British and Irish
workers traveltoNew Zealandeach
summer, but their expected absence
over Covid19 could leave big gaps.
“Given the current global pandemic it
is unlikely these workers will have the
freedomto come here, which will place
alot of pressure on these businesses,
and this was puttingpressure on
contractors to fill their needs.”
Contractorwork could include hay
balingand silagemaking, as well as
spraying, muck spreading, shearing,
ploughing and other tractorwork.
“Allowing the students to count rural
contractingwork towards their practical
work requirement, we hope, will
alleviate some of the pressure on these
contractors.’’

Focus on regenerative farming
By DAVID HILL
Kaikoura’s first regenerative farming
event has been aroaringsuccess. More
than 90 farmers,vintners and industry
professionals across the South Island
attended the event in Kaikouralast month.
It was sponsored by the North
Canterbury Rural Support Trust, the
Organic Dairyand Pastoral Groupand the
Kaikoura PlainsRecovery Project.
Event organiser Sky Horton, who has
created the Agregenz online platform, was
astonishedbyhow much interest there
was in regenerative farming.
‘‘It quickly turned into an event with
more than 90 farmers interested,’’she
says.
“My ‘ahha’ momentwas while standing
in apaddockthat was being sprayed with
insecticide, having to run out of the
paddock so the chemicalsdidn’tharm us.
‘‘It just felt so wrong thatwewere
growing foodinanecosystem thatwewere
poisoning.’’
Sky started to investigateoptions for
farming without chemicals, which led her
to regenerative farming.

Glenmark-Cheviot in sublime form
RUGBY
By LINDSAY KERR and
DAYLE SUTHERLAND
Following a907 drubbing of
Woodend last Saturday,
GlenmarkCheviot hurdled
over Kaiapoi to finish in the
top spotinthe NorthCanterbury
seniorrugbycompetition.
Glenmark led 457 at halftime
and carried the momentum
intothe second half.
Woodend earnedrespect for
its effort andscored atry in the
opening exchanges, but the
classofacompleteGlenmark
unit in attackmode was too
much for the plucky home side.
The visitors posted 14 tries,
with JacobVincent scoring
three, and Ben Murray and
Cogs Harnett scoring two.
Alex Robsontook over
kicking duties from Brook
Retallick,converting10tries.
Points galore
Saracens grabbed third spot
afterapulsating 12trymatch
against closest rivalOxford,
winning 5340.
Played in front of abumper
crowdatOxford, Saracens
started the scoring in the 5th
minute when left winger Ollie
Bithray beatoff two defenders
to score the first of his three
tries. Onlymomentslater
RickyAllin kickedapenalty
and Saracens led 120.
Oxford finally got its hands
on the ball and by the
20minute mark had scored
two tries; the first,tocentre
Luke Navuwaii who used his
strength and pace to march
through the defence on the
rightflank. In the 12 minutes
before halftime,Saracens
stormed back,scoring four
more triesthroughthe backs
for a3312 lead.
Oxford scored aconverted
try in the opening minutes of
the second half before Bithray
collected his secondtry and
superboot Allinadded a
penalty to takeSaracens to a
seeminglymatchwinning
advantage of 4619.
However, Oxford was not
finished and in 10 minutes the
side scored three converted
triestotrail by only six points
with five minutes remaining.
Moving forward ... Matt Freeman on the roll for Saracens in its match against Oxford.
But Saracens had the final say
whenfront rower Pete Manahe
crashedover to score.
Scoreboard: Saracens53
(Ollie Bithray 3, Jesse Bowring,
Nikora Jarvis, PeteManahe
tries. Ricky Allin try, 6
conversions and 2penalties),
Oxford 40 (Luke Navuwaii 2,
Stu Feary,Mosese Fosita,
LiamStevenson, Moko
Prescott tries;AngusMitchell 5
conversions).
Lastweek,itwas reported
thatSaracens injured player
MarkSmith scored two
pushovertries in the side’s
gameagainstGlenmark. This
was not correct. The scorer was
Willie Kerr.
Kaiapoi wins
Kaiapoi did enough to
thwart atypical grittyHurunui
side, winning 2518. In doing so
it finished on top of the leader
board with GlenmarkCheviot,
but dropped to second in the
standingswith the combined
sideemergingwith abetter
points differential.
Hurunui had asolidfirst half
and went to the break with an
1110 advantage. The two
teams then scored atry apiece
and,with five minutestoplay,
werelocked at 18all.
Rob Samsonfinally broke
the deadlock, scoring for
Kaiapoi before Hurunui
stormed backinthe final
moments but came up short.
Scoreboard: Kaiapoi 25
(JacobHurring 2, Dante Love,
Rob Samson tries; Lance
Tayloraconversion and
penalty), Hurunui 18 (Sam
Boyne,SandfordHeard tries.
Matt Hickey aconversion and 2
penalties.)
Honours for Ashley
In amatch fittingfor afinal,
Ohoka and Ashleybattled it out
at Mandeville. WhileOhoka
had alate opportunity,Ashley
claimed linehonours.
Ashleyprovided the early
impetus and moved the ball
wide early. Followinga
penalty, the side was rewarded
with an earlytry in the corner
to theimpressive Ben Dunbar.
However,Ohokawasn’t to be
outdone and the sidewas soon
on the board with aconverted
try to MaxLines.
Ashley wasn’t to be undone,
either, and soon the pattern
emerged with both sides
seeking ascendancy.
Luke and Josh Duckmanton
for Ashley carriedstrongly, but
it was Ohoka thatstruckagain
with atry to Sam England.
Again, Ashleyresponded with
awellworkedtry to catch
Ohokaout wide with atry to
Anthony Tavendale.
Patrick McCallum, for
Ohoka, directed play from
pivotand, with apenaltyinhis
pocket, Ohoka led1712 at halftime.The
secondhalf was no
different, with stoicdefence
from Ashley’s NaariaWilson
PHOTO: LEONIE HANCOX
Bairds and Andrew
Olorenshaw, as well as Ohoka’s
industrious Tom Taylor.
It was Ohokathat faltered
first, withaplayer senttothe
sin bin. Ashleypounced, and a
further try to Dunbar gave the
northerners the upper hand.
WhilstOhokacameback
withaMcCallum penalty, it
was Ashley that struckagain
withatry to Scott Barber.
WithOhoka back to 15
players, Blain O’Loughlin
continued to test the Ashley
defence and it was awell
worked try to Jack Wedlake
thatput the homecrowd on the
edgeoftheir seats, with Ohoka
takingthe lead 2726 with 7
minutes left. However, likea
goodnorwester, Ashleydidn’t
let up and were soon awarded
apenalty, which Korbyn Gray
put over for a2927lead.
Despite alate Ohoka penalty
attempt, that is how the score
would stay.
Ben Dunbar was aworthy
recipient of Ashley’s Player of
the Day award, with the Ohoka
equivalent goingtoBlain
O’Loughlin.

Alternate Route Advised During
Skew Bridge Repairs
Residents who cross Skew Bridge, near
Silverstream ontheir commute between the
Waimakariri District and Christchurch, are
advised to use an alternative route from
Monday 17 August.
Engineers doing amaintenance assessment
recently identified there are some repairs required
to abeam under the bridge. Signage will be up
along the route in the next week giving regular
drivers of the road advanced warning.
While the bridge will remain open to traffic it will
be one-lane only with temporary two-way traffic
lights in place. This will cause delays –sousing the
alternative route is advised ifyou can.
The temporary traffic lights will be in place until
the work is completed, which will take around
four weeks.
Work is mainly needed underneath the bridge,
and requires concrete to cure which takes time.
Motorists might not see much happening while

Victoria Park visitors were incredibly disappointed
this week to discover the toilets have been
significantly vandalised.
This is the second incident ofthe and vandalism
to Waimakariri District Parks in the last two weeks
–afavourite playground item was last week stolen
from Gladstone Park in Woodend/Pegasus.
It is believed that the Victoria Park damage
happened onWednesday 30 July with fixtures and
fittings removed orsmashed up and bespoke vinyl
ripped from the walls.
There’s been an
importantchange…
Chris Brown, Manager, Community and Recreation
says, “These facilities in avery popular park were
recently refurbished to an excellent standard and
are highly used by the public. It’s amindless act
of vandalism that could cost thousands of dollars
to repair.”
The Council takes incidents like this very seriously
and will be following up with the authorities.
We ask that members of the public are vigilant
when using our parks and facilities and if they see
any suspicious behaviour or witness any incidents
they report these to Council through our Snap

Staff have seen it all in the
Waimakariri District Council’s
yellow recycling bins.
Everything from dog droppings
to batteries, light bulbs, old
clothing, small electrical items,
plant pots, egg cartons, lids and
soft plastics end up in the yellow
bin, creating extra work for staff
at the Southbrook Resource
Recovery Park.
Staff will be conducting yellow
bin audits soon over concerns
that residents have got into bad
habits since the lockdown.
Waste Management operations
manager Russell Gillies says
most people follow good habits.
‘‘What frustrates us the most is
the people who just don’t care or
take the effort. Ninetyeight
percent of people are really
good; it’s the 2% that just don’t
care and don’t think about what
happens to their rubbish.’’
The council’s solid waste
officer, Monese Ball, encourages
people who want to do the right
thing, but are unsure, to bring
their items to the resource
recovery park.
