An interesting turn of events<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

The poleman is on amission. Don<br />

Scott,of<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>, is<br />

keen to find out the age of his<br />

huge British­made Newbold<br />

Machine Tool Company lathe.<br />

Don has owned thelathefor 20<br />

years.Hehas usedittoturn<br />

horse jumprails.<br />

When he was maderedundant<br />

from his job afew years back, he<br />

modified it to enable him to<br />

manufacturelarger poles for<br />

building construction.<br />

Now it is aone­pass lathe that<br />

can remove 100mmofwood off a<br />

log up to 5.2m long.<br />

Don has always believed his<br />

lathe was 120 years old. But in<br />

recentweeks awoman who<br />

visited to pickupsome jump rails<br />

said it was mucholder than that.<br />

Don immediately asked how on<br />

Earth she knew.<br />

‘‘It’swritten on that leg,’’she<br />

replied.<br />

To Don’s astonishment,<br />

painted on one of the legswas<br />

1856, and the word‘‘Lyttleton’’.<br />

This meansitisatleast164<br />

years old, and counting.<br />

‘‘I’veowneditfor 20 yearsand<br />

never noticed that at all. Nor has<br />

anyoneelse (in my defence).So,<br />

yes, Iwas gobsmacked.’’<br />

He has visited the<br />

Christchurch libraryonaquest to<br />

discover what ship it mighthave<br />

arrived on,who imported it, and<br />

anything else aboutit.<br />

He has so far comeupemptyhanded.<br />

‘‘I really wouldlove to know<br />

what it wasbrought here to do. I<br />

was told it was to buildlog cabins,<br />

but I’ve neverseen old log cabins<br />

with turned poles or photos<br />

which would suggest thatuse.<br />

‘‘I can’t imagine how it could<br />

have been steam­powered, but I<br />

also can’t thinkofany other way<br />

it was powered.’’<br />

Don uses Douglas fir for his<br />

jump rails to ensure theyare of<br />

good quality and strength.<br />

‘‘I experimented with pine,but<br />

the firmakes afar superior rail.’’<br />

His rails have since been sold<br />

all over New Zealand. He has had<br />

inquiries from as far away as<br />

Britain.<br />

Don knows exactly what kind<br />

of tree transforms intoaquality<br />

rail.<br />

His pineconstruction poles,<br />

whichare treated after turning,<br />

are also sought after,especially<br />

among builders or homeowners<br />

Council boss to leave in March<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Waimakariri District Council chief<br />

executive Jim Palmer is leaving his role<br />

next March, after 17 years.<br />

‘‘I’m fortunate to leave the council in a<br />

strong position, with acommitted and<br />

skilled team of colleagues and council<br />

members who will continue to lead the<br />

organisation and continue building our<br />

excellent community,’’ he said.<br />

The Waimakariri is ahigh­growth<br />

district, which emerged from the<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> earthquakes as one of the<br />

most popular residential destinations in<br />

the region.<br />

Significant growth is forecast to<br />

continue.<br />

The council was recently awarded a<br />

second AA rating under the Local<br />

Government Excellence Programme —<br />

one of two councils out of 33 nationwide<br />

to achieve the honour.<br />

Last year, Standard and Poors<br />

confirmed the council would maintain<br />

its AA/A­1+ credit rating.<br />

‘‘This move is something Ihave been<br />

talking about for awhile now,’’ Mr<br />

Palmer said.<br />

‘‘It will provide afresh start for me and<br />

the council. This has been an exciting<br />

❛Jim is areal leader and well<br />

regarded throughout the<br />

country.❜<br />

—Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon<br />

and highly rewarding position, and I’m<br />

pleased to be handing over such a<br />

capable organisation with agood<br />

outlook.’’<br />

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon says<br />

Mr Palmer will be missed.<br />

‘‘Jim is areal leader and well regarded<br />

throughout the country.<br />

‘‘Through the earthquakes he<br />

demonstrated exceptional leadership<br />

which helped our district recover and,<br />

following that, supported Kaikoura in<br />

recovering from its own earthquake.<br />

‘‘He is also having asignificant input<br />

into the Covid­19 response and recovery.<br />

‘‘On top of this, he’s outstanding at the<br />

business­as­usual aspects of running a<br />

large organisation.’’<br />

The council will appoint an external<br />

recruiter by September to help select the<br />

new chief executive.<br />

Dismayoverloss of river trees<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

The felling of 500 trees in the<br />

Ashley Rakahuri Regional<br />

Park has left some visitors to<br />

the area shocked and<br />

disappointed.<br />

The trees, which had<br />

surrounded apicturesque<br />

walkway near the West Belt<br />

entrance to the park in<br />

Rangiora, were felled by<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

(ECan) last week during the<br />

completion of work to protect<br />

Rangiora and Kaiapoi from<br />

the threat of river flooding.<br />

However, park users say<br />

the affected area was a<br />

special part of the park, used<br />

by many to walk, run, cycle,<br />

exercise their dogs, and just<br />

relax. Because of this, the<br />

community should have been<br />

consulted before the decision<br />

was made to remove the<br />

trees.<br />

Alison Clay, aregular<br />

visitor to the park with her<br />

dog, Jafa, says she is<br />

saddened to see the<br />

‘‘beautiful walkway<br />

massacred’’.<br />

‘‘For what? How does it<br />

stop flooding?’’<br />

Cyclist Bernadette<br />

Canavan, who is another<br />

regular park visitor with her<br />

dog, Nugget, was also<br />

disappointed that so many<br />

trees had been felled.<br />

‘‘I felt very saddened when<br />

Isaw the trees. This was my<br />

favourite place to ride my<br />

bike and now all that beauty<br />

has been destroyed.’’<br />

ECan regional lead in river<br />

engineering Shaun<br />

McCracken says the felled<br />

trees were between the<br />

primary and secondary<br />

stopbanks. ‘‘In the event of a<br />

breach of the primary<br />

stopbank, the flood flow is<br />

channelled back into the<br />

river by the secondary bank.<br />

‘‘The problem with trees in<br />

this particular area is that<br />

they slow the water down and<br />

restrict its passage through<br />

this critical zone and back<br />

into the river downstream of<br />

the rail bridge.<br />

‘‘Modelling of flood flows<br />

through this area indicated<br />

that, with the trees in place,<br />

overflows into Rangiora were<br />

likely.<br />

‘‘This is arisk we are<br />

unwilling to accept.’’<br />

However, aMinistry for the<br />

Environment report<br />

published in 2008 concluded<br />

that ‘‘flood damage during<br />

major New Zealand floods is<br />

rarely caused by floods<br />

exceeding design protection<br />

levels on stopbanks on<br />

rivers’’.<br />

‘‘It is more often caused by<br />

unpredictable breaches of a<br />

weak point in astopbank<br />

when the river is below bankfull<br />

stage; or overflow of<br />

backed­up tributaries on to<br />

land behind stopbanks when<br />

the river is close to bank­full;<br />

or spillage across floodways<br />

...’’<br />

It states: ‘‘These risks do<br />

not change even when<br />

afforestation is factored in.’’<br />

School opens in ayear to remember<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>’s newestprimaryschool<br />

took amoment to celebrate on Friday,<br />

afterachallenging first six months.<br />

Te Matauru Primary School was<br />

officially opened last Friday, with<br />

Waimakariri MayorDan Gordon, local MP<br />

Matt Doocey and neighbouring school<br />

principals attending.<br />

In apre­recorded message, Education<br />

Minister Chris Hipkins said it was a<br />

special day as the first new primary school<br />

to open in the region (aside from Pegasus<br />

Bay School) in 52 years.<br />

‘‘This is areally challenging timefor<br />

youngpeople, but it’s even more<br />

challenging whenyour school opened just<br />

six weeks beforethe lockdown.’’<br />

Mr Hipkinssaid having warm,modern<br />

school buildingswas important, ‘‘but what<br />

happens inside those buildingsiseven<br />

more important’’.<br />

Principal Danny Nichollssaid he was<br />

pleased be able to markthe official<br />

opening, after the lockdown threw ‘‘a<br />

really big curveball’’sosoon after the<br />

school opened for pupils in February.<br />

‘‘The challengefor us wasthe same as<br />

for the other schools,but we didn’t have<br />

that background of knowing the families.<br />

But it broughtuscloser together, so we felt<br />

astrong trust from the community.’’<br />

Planning for the new school began in<br />

2014, with the establishment Board of<br />

Trusteesappointed in 2018.<br />

Establishment board chairman Peter<br />

Simpson saidthere weretimes when the<br />

new board ‘‘hadtobestrong,tobebrave<br />

and to have heart’’ duringthe long<br />

planning process.<br />

‘‘To the tamariki (children), it was<br />

excitingtosee you finally walk in on that<br />

first day. No matterwhat you go on to do<br />

from now, know that you madehistory.’’<br />

Mr Simpson thankedNgai Tuahuririfor<br />

the school’s name and narrative, with Te<br />

Matauru meaning ‘‘eyes to the west’’ which<br />

describes the school’s positioning towards<br />

Mt Grey. The school’s narrativeor<br />

whakatauki, Ekea Ka TaumataKiTeUru,<br />

means “look to the peaks of the alps and<br />

ascendtogreat heights”.<br />

New stadium ayear away<br />

Stadium Waimakariri remains on track<br />

to open next year.<br />

With just ayear to go, Waimakariri<br />

Mayor Dan Gordon and councillors<br />

toured the site last week alongside staff<br />

from the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Sport and<br />

Recreation Trust, which will manage<br />

the facility.<br />

‘‘It’s great to be able to have this<br />

sneak peek,’’ Mr Gordon said. ‘‘I think<br />

our residents are going to be very<br />

pleased. Our contractors are doing a<br />

great job, progress is on track, and it’s<br />

going to be aterrific asset for our<br />

community.’’<br />

Local sporting clubs have been<br />

eagerly awaiting the new multi­use<br />

facility as the district’s population and<br />

participation numbers swell.<br />

Basketball is one of the district’s<br />

high­participation sports and is<br />

challenged by alack of space.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Basketball<br />

Association chairman Gordon Wong<br />

says the stadium will bring welcome<br />

relief. ‘‘Having the stadium will add<br />

untold benefit to the community, lessen<br />

financial strains for participants and<br />

volunteers, and enable organisations<br />

like ours to have apermanent hub.’’<br />

Trust community engagement<br />

manager Caroline Whittaker is keen to<br />

see some big tournaments in the<br />

bookings schedule.<br />

‘‘We want to see wide use of this<br />

fantastic facility by its residents in all<br />

forms, from fitness centre members, to<br />

interest groups and sporting clubs.<br />

‘‘We’ll be working alongside<br />

organisations to create key events in<br />

the calendar, which will add areal<br />

drawcard to our region.’’<br />

The stadium will provide social<br />

benefits by having awide range of<br />

activities at the venue, she says.<br />

‘‘The combination of on­site staff<br />

from the sports clubs to the fitness gym,<br />

health and wellbeing clinics, our centre<br />

management, and of course the people<br />

from our communities will create a<br />

great buzz within the stadium.’’<br />

Despite asmall delay because of the<br />

Covid­19 lockdown, the stadium is on<br />

track to open in late July 2021.<br />

government.<br />

Historically, the Hurunui District<br />

Council has punched well above its<br />

weight in respect to service delivery.<br />

We pride ourselves on the values that<br />

encompass the wellbeing of local<br />

government.<br />

However, in <strong>August</strong>, the government<br />

will bring in more exemptions for work<br />

that does not require abuilding consent.<br />

This work includes sleepouts that do not<br />

have any sanitary fixtures or kitchen,<br />

ground­floor verandas up to 30 square<br />

metres, carports up to 40 square metres,<br />

and hay barns up to 110 square metres<br />

provided they are not above ahigh wind<br />

zone.<br />

This provides people with the option<br />

not to apply for aconsent, but it does<br />

mean more stringent requirements that<br />

require engineers or licensed building<br />

practitioners.<br />

My advice is to speak with our friendly<br />

building team to assess your individual<br />

situation to ensure you achieve the best<br />

outcome. The bottom line is the code<br />

must be met regardless of aconsent or<br />

not.<br />

<strong>August</strong> is also atime when our council<br />

is required to decide on whether to<br />

progress and accept agovernment<br />

“stimulus package” associated with the<br />

proposed Three Waters reform.<br />

Following Havelock <strong>North</strong>’s water<br />

contamination, as well as over the last<br />

three years, the government has been<br />

considering solutions facing the<br />

regulation and delivery of the three<br />

waters services —that is, drinking<br />

water, waste and storm water.<br />

This has seen the development of new<br />

legislation and the creation of the new<br />

water services regulator, Taumata<br />

Arowai.<br />

Your elected members are keeping<br />

well abreast of the process, with the<br />

decision pending to “opt­in” and sign a<br />

non­binding memorandum of<br />

understanding to receive the first of the<br />

stimulus packages. However, on going to<br />

print, Iamunaware of the financial<br />

grant allocation that we will receive,<br />

which will be allocated to pipe upgrades<br />

and improvement to services.<br />

Early in 2021, we will be working<br />

through aspecial consultation process<br />

to engage with you and consider your<br />

opinion to commit to the second tranche<br />

of this proposal, by <strong>August</strong> 2021.<br />

Should we continue, we will be<br />

expected to hand over the water delivery<br />

component to aCrown entity.<br />

This is asignificant decision, one that<br />

we will work with you on to achieve, as<br />

the repercussion of this will be the loss<br />

of influence over acritical asset.<br />

During the week Ihad the opportunity<br />

to meet with all of our staff who deliver<br />

water services, with achance for aquick<br />

thank­you. They are always there for<br />

you, so akind word of thanks was<br />

appreciated.<br />

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR<br />

Medicinal cannabis is already allowed under existing law<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

For some who may vote for the<br />

legalisation of cannabis for the<br />

reason of medication, this is already<br />

legalised.<br />

On reading the pamphlet sent by the<br />

Electoral Commission, Inotice this fact<br />

is written in white print on ayellow<br />

back ground, which could be quite hard<br />

to read for some.<br />

Here is what is written: ‘‘What's not<br />

included? The proposed bill does not<br />

cover medicinal cannabis, hemp,<br />

driving while impaired, or workplace<br />

health and safety issues. These are<br />

The unsubstantiated claims of huge<br />

potential physical, mental, social and<br />

economic harm to New Zealand society<br />

was extremely disappointing.<br />

Inote that no mention was made of<br />

progression to Pand other hard drugs.<br />

criminal activities to fund dependence.<br />

Asubstantial part of our hard­earned<br />

tax goes towards tidying up the mess,<br />

with ahuge burden on our hospitals<br />

And now, here we are in <strong>2020</strong>,<br />

actually considering legalising another<br />

recreational drug. We must be mad!<br />

The festival grewout of the<br />

impact of the November 2016<br />

benefiting businesses and<br />

Seat honours memory of Des<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Amemorial seat for the late Des<br />

Moore has been installed at the<br />

Rangiora grounds of the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> Riding for the<br />

Disabled Association (RDA).<br />

Des, who died last December,<br />

was an energetic, inspirational<br />

visionary who dreamt of<br />

establishing the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> branch of the RDA.<br />

He worked tirelessly to achieve<br />

that goal and became the<br />

association’s founding president<br />

and alife member along the way.<br />

The memorial seat for Des was<br />

unveiled by his widow, Rita, and<br />

their sons and daughters during<br />

afunction held at the<br />

association’s grounds last<br />

Sunday afternoon.<br />

‘‘Des’s life was about service to<br />

others and service above self,’’<br />

Rita said.<br />

‘‘His dream was to have an<br />

RDA in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> and,<br />

with the help of all you people,<br />

and many hours of hard work, his<br />

dream became real and true.<br />

‘‘This is evident in the facilities<br />

that we can see here today.’’<br />

He died having fulfilled his<br />

dream, leaving the association in<br />

capable hands, so that the riding<br />

programme could continue to<br />

help people with disabilities<br />

experience the enjoyment and<br />

benefits derived from horse<br />

riding.<br />

founding member of the local<br />

committee, said her journey<br />

began with the organisation after<br />

Des put an advertisement in a<br />

local newspaper asking for likeminded<br />

people interested in<br />

establishing alocal RDA. People<br />

were invited to attend ameeting<br />

he had organised.<br />

‘‘The rest is history.’’<br />

Des was determined, she said,<br />

and this is the reason the<br />

association exists today, with its<br />

own beautiful grounds and its<br />

own facilities.<br />

‘‘He was an extraordinary,<br />

selfless giver of himself,<br />

dedicated to enriching the life of<br />

those living with difficulties, and<br />

Rita supported him every step of<br />

the way, becoming our top­notch<br />

secretary.’’<br />

Recycling<br />

Rough mulch is being sold at Amberley and Hanmer<br />

transfer stations, and will be sold at Waiau and Culverden<br />

soon. Great for weed suppression. And a reminder that<br />

bokashi kits are also for sale, which help divert waste from<br />

the landfill.<br />

To encourage recycling of agricultural waste, Agrecovery<br />

recycling drop off points are at the Cheviot, Culverden and<br />

Waiau transfer stations and at Amberley PGG Wrightson.<br />

Through these, triple rinsed and empty polyethylene<br />

(HDPE) plastic agri-chemical containers are accepted for<br />

recycling.<br />

West Ward by-elections<br />

You should have received your voting documents by now –<br />

if you haven’t received them give Naomi acall or pop into<br />

the Council (Amberley Office) to do a Special Vote.<br />

Documents need to be in the post by this Friday to ensure<br />

they are received by noon on Friday the 14th If you miss<br />

the postal deadline these can be dropped back to the<br />

Amberley Council Office or any of our West Ward libraries -<br />

Hanmer Springs, Amuri or Hawarden. This weekend<br />

Naomi, our council electoral officer, will be at the Hanmer<br />

Springs Library from 10am –2pm (both Saturday 8and<br />

Sunday 9 <strong>August</strong>)) for anyone that needs to make a<br />

Special Vote (particularly Non- resident ratepayers).<br />

Fly linefor Hanmer Springs<br />

A fly line will be an exciting new feature at Conical Hill,<br />

currently in the early stages of planning. It is due to open by<br />

October 2021. HDC will receive $2.1 million from the<br />

Government’s infrastructure funding scheme, ($2m) and<br />

the Provincial Growth Fund, (approximately $100,000.)<br />

The ride will take nine minutes, and create plenty of jobs for<br />

the area with its construction and operation requirements.<br />

Keep supporting ourlocal<br />

foodbanks<br />

It has been really interesting working with the foodbanks<br />

and seeing first hand the great work they dointhe Hurunui.<br />

As acommunity we expect there to be foodbanks and their<br />

cupboards to be full. The reality is that they are sometimes<br />

struggling too because the demand has nearly doubled. We<br />

are constantly looking for community and organisational<br />

support to ensure the service continues. If you can assist in<br />

any way, please contact Roger Hornblow 033148166<br />

Amberley Domain was once home to amajor observatory measuring magnetic variations and storms<br />

caused by the sun. In 1902, amagnetic observatory was established in Christchurch, and relocated to<br />

Amberley Domain in 1935 due tosome thought that Christchurch tramlines could affect the readings. At<br />

this time, it was one of only 12inthe world. SOURCE: Kete Hurunui<br />

Pandemic effects ... Logging operations have had avolatile year.<br />

PHOTO: SUPPLIED<br />

Effects of Covid-19 felt<br />

The New Zealand forestry sector has<br />

experienced avolatile run this year after<br />

several yearsofrelative stability, says<br />

ForestryManagementGroup director<br />

CraigMcMiken.<br />

He says the forestry industry was<br />

affected by Covid­19 earlier thanother<br />

industries. It began with China’s decision<br />

to extend its annualNew Year holiday by<br />

aweek in January, significantly reducing<br />

demand and price for logs andlumber<br />

destined for the country,MrMcMiken says.<br />

When New Zealand moved to Covid­19<br />

alertlevel3,harvesting and silviculture<br />

operations stopped for five weeks.<br />

‘‘Duringthis lockdown, Chinese<br />

customersbecame concerned about<br />

having enoughsupply,which resulted in<br />

the largestincrease in price we have seen<br />

sincethe 1993 price spike.’’<br />

Whilethe lift was nicetohave, in<br />

hindsight it was an overreaction, Mr<br />

McMiken says. ‘‘Supply from New Zealand<br />

and Europehas come back strong, and the<br />

pricelift was short­lived. Generally<br />

domesticprocessors currentlyhave strong<br />

orders but thereisuncertainty looking<br />

aheadatwhetherreduced demand will<br />

eventuate later in the year.’’<br />

His company is busy planting,and hopes<br />

to plant 4000 hectares thisyear.<br />

‘‘This is acombination of replanting<br />

cutover and also new planting.’’<br />

The EmissionsTrading SchemeReform<br />

Bill passedinJune. The fixed priceoption<br />

will be increased from $25 to $35 per New<br />

Zealand unit (NZU).<br />

Auctioning is scheduled to begin in<br />

March2021,with a$20 floor price.<br />

Mr McMikensays theserevisions<br />

provide more long­termconfidenceinthe<br />

priceofNZUs,whichislikelytosee<br />

continued stronginterest in new planting<br />

Wilding trees airlifted out<br />

Wilding Douglas fir logs are being given a<br />

whirlwind trip out of Arthurs Pass.<br />

The trees are above Bruce Stream, in<br />

the Bealey area, on public land<br />

administered by the Department of<br />

Conservation.<br />

They are being cut down and flown out<br />

by aRangiora­based helicopter firm.<br />

The Ministry for Primary Industries has<br />

contracted Southern Heli Lift, owned by<br />

Darren and Lynda Davison, for the work.<br />

Forest Management (FML), which is<br />

part of the Forest Management Group<br />

(FMG), carried out the harvesting<br />

consultation, management marketing and<br />

cartage of the logs.<br />

The trees were planted by the NZ<br />

Forest Service in the mid­1960s for<br />

erosion control. However, they have gone<br />

on to cause wilding tree spread.<br />

In its winter newsletter, FMG says there<br />

is no road access into where the Douglas<br />

firs were causing problems, and because<br />

of the environmentally sensitive nature of<br />

the area, road construction was not an<br />

option.<br />

The operation consists of manual tree<br />

felling, trimming and cutting logs to<br />

specific length to optimise the maximum<br />

lift weight. The logs are then lifted, flown<br />

down and dropped on to the riverbed,<br />

avoiding power lines as logs are not<br />

allowed to be lifted over them.<br />

Logs are then carried down the dry<br />

stream bed, crossing the stream over a<br />

driftdeck (temporary bridge) and<br />

dropped over aflood bank.<br />

Here they are cut to millable length and<br />

loaded on trucks for delivery to<br />

customers.<br />

The newsletter says the positive<br />

outcome is that more than 90% of the logs<br />

are sold to, and processed by, <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Sawmills, not to mention the revenue to<br />

offset the cost of eradicating wilding<br />

exotic trees in the high country.<br />

New forests must<br />

meet local rules<br />

Planting trees can have<br />

positive benefitsifthey are<br />

in the right environment.<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

(ECan) advises<br />

landowners to contact<br />

theirlocal councilorthe<br />

regional council before<br />

planting,tomake sure the<br />

land and plants are<br />

suitable for plantingand to<br />

ensurecompliance with<br />

district and regional plans.<br />

All new forestry planting<br />

plans need to meet<br />

legislativerequirements of<br />

the Resource Management<br />

Act 1991 (RMA), as well as<br />

complying with regional<br />

and district rules, ECan<br />

says.<br />

This includesplanting<br />

under the Ministryfor<br />

Primary Industries’ (MPI)<br />

One Billion Trees<br />

programme.<br />

‘‘A successful One<br />

Billion Trees funding<br />

application does not<br />

automatically mean the<br />

planting under regional<br />

and district rules can<br />

commence straightaway,’’<br />

ECan says. ‘‘The local and<br />

regional council will be in<br />

touch to inform them of the<br />

application outcome and<br />

any other relevant<br />

guidance.’’<br />

Approvalisneeded<br />

before planting forestry<br />

trees on land where there<br />

is no existing plantation<br />

forestry,harvesting has not<br />

occurred within the last<br />

five years, and does not<br />

include vegetation<br />

clearance from the land<br />

before planting.<br />

‘‘It is essential to ensure<br />

any planting carried out in<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> meets<br />

legislative requirements so<br />

the negative impact on the<br />

environment from planting<br />

is minimaltonone.’’<br />

Negative effects can<br />

include soil slip erosion,<br />

and landscapeand<br />

amenity effects such as<br />

shading or modification of<br />

natural features. There is<br />

also the potential for<br />

wilding conifers to spread<br />

into vulnerableareas,<br />

which can have adverse<br />

effects on the landscape.<br />

‘‘When establishing a<br />

new plantation forest,<br />

consideration of its<br />

location and design is<br />

needed to avoid long­term<br />

environmental, safety and<br />

operational issues,such as<br />

the ability to safely harvest<br />

the crop with limited<br />

effects on neighbouring<br />

properties,’’ ECansays.<br />

Any breach of local and<br />

regional afforestation<br />

rules can result in<br />

enforcement action.<br />

Irrigation body to move<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Irrigation New Zealand is settomove its<br />

headquarters from LincolntoWellington.<br />

The lobby groupplans to appointanew<br />

chiefexecutive in Wellington,asCovid­19<br />

forces arethink of its operations.<br />

Existing chief executive Elizabeth Soal<br />

will remaininthe roleuntilafter the<br />

election, beforebecoming regional policy<br />

and planning manager to work with<br />

members andlocal authorities to offer<br />

advocacy in the regions.<br />

“As anation we are embarkingonthe<br />

recoveryphase of Covid­19 and the<br />

dependability of irrigated production<br />

systems willbecentral to this,’’<br />

chairwoman KeriJohnston says.<br />

“Yet, the general misunderstanding of<br />

the benefitsand positive impacts of<br />

irrigationpersist.’’<br />

Irrigationhas avaluable role to playin<br />

ensuring NewZealand has an<br />

environmentally and economically<br />

sustainable future,MsJohnston says.<br />

“Irrigationisacritical component of a<br />

vibrantand environmentally sustainable<br />

agriculturaland horticultural economy,<br />

andwewill workhard towardsensuring<br />

that irrigation remains an integral part of<br />

ahealthyand thriving Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand.’’<br />

Students to fill summer roles<br />

Lincoln University studentsare set to<br />

plug the gaps in the rural contracting<br />

labour pool this summer.<br />

With the rural sector strugglingtofill<br />

vacancies because of alack of migrant<br />

workers, the university is relaxing its<br />

rules around compulsory practical work<br />

requirements to include contracting.<br />

Agribusiness lecturer Dan Smith says<br />

large numbers of British and Irish<br />

workers traveltoNew Zealandeach<br />

summer, but their expected absence<br />

over Covid­19 could leave big gaps.<br />

“Given the current global pandemic it<br />

is unlikely these workers will have the<br />

freedomto come here, which will place<br />

alot of pressure on these businesses,<br />

and this was puttingpressure on<br />

contractors to fill their needs.”<br />

Contractorwork could include hay<br />

balingand silage­making, as well as<br />

spraying, muck spreading, shearing,<br />

ploughing and other tractorwork.<br />

“Allowing the students to count rural<br />

contractingwork towards their practical<br />

work requirement, we hope, will<br />

alleviate some of the pressure on these<br />

contractors.’’<br />

Focus on regenerative farming<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Kaikoura’s first regenerative farming<br />

event has been aroaringsuccess. More<br />

than 90 farmers,vintners and industry<br />

professionals across the South Island<br />

attended the event in Kaikouralast month.<br />

It was sponsored by the <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> Rural Support Trust, the<br />

Organic Dairyand Pastoral Groupand the<br />

Kaikoura PlainsRecovery Project.<br />

Event organiser Sky Horton, who has<br />

created the Agregenz online platform, was<br />

astonishedbyhow much interest there<br />

was in regenerative farming.<br />

‘‘It quickly turned into an event with<br />

more than 90 farmers interested,’’she<br />

says.<br />

“My ‘ah­ha’ momentwas while standing<br />

in apaddockthat was being sprayed with<br />

insecticide, having to run out of the<br />

paddock so the chemicalsdidn’tharm us.<br />

‘‘It just felt so wrong thatwewere<br />

growing foodinanecosystem thatwewere<br />

poisoning.’’<br />

Sky started to investigateoptions for<br />

farming without chemicals, which led her<br />

to regenerative farming.<br />

Speakers from Otago,<br />

most importantly, resilience.<br />

“The eventhelped demystify the<br />

Glenmark-Cheviot in sublime form<br />

RUGBY<br />

By LINDSAY KERR and<br />

DAYLE SUTHERLAND<br />

Following a90­7 drubbing of<br />

Woodend last Saturday,<br />

Glenmark­Cheviot hurdled<br />

over Kaiapoi to finish in the<br />

top spotinthe <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

seniorrugbycompetition.<br />

Glenmark led 45­7 at halftime<br />

and carried the momentum<br />

intothe second half.<br />

Woodend earnedrespect for<br />

its effort andscored atry in the<br />

opening exchanges, but the<br />

classofacompleteGlenmark<br />

unit in attackmode was too<br />

much for the plucky home side.<br />

The visitors posted 14 tries,<br />

with JacobVincent scoring<br />

three, and Ben Murray and<br />

Cogs Harnett scoring two.<br />

Alex Robsontook over<br />

kicking duties from Brook<br />

Points galore<br />

Saracens grabbed third spot<br />

afterapulsating 12­trymatch<br />

against closest rivalOxford,<br />

winning 53­40.<br />

Played in front of abumper<br />

crowdatOxford, Saracens<br />

started the scoring in the 5th<br />

minute when left winger Ollie<br />

Bithray beatoff two defenders<br />

to score the first of his three<br />

tries. Onlymomentslater<br />

RickyAllin kickedapenalty<br />

and Saracens led 12­0.<br />

Oxford finally got its hands<br />

on the ball and by the<br />

20­minute mark had scored<br />

two tries; the first,tocentre<br />

Luke Navuwaii who used his<br />

strength and pace to march<br />

through the defence on the<br />

rightflank. In the 12 minutes<br />

before half­time,Saracens<br />

stormed back,scoring four<br />

more triesthroughthe backs<br />

for a33­12 lead.<br />

Oxford scored aconverted<br />

try in the opening minutes of<br />

the second half before Bithray<br />

collected his secondtry and<br />

superboot Allinadded a<br />

penalty to takeSaracens to a<br />

seeminglymatch­winning<br />

advantage of 46­19.<br />

However, Oxford was not<br />

finished and in 10 minutes the<br />

side scored three converted<br />

triestotrail by only six points<br />

with five minutes remaining.<br />

Moving forward ... Matt Freeman on the roll for Saracens in its match against Oxford.<br />

But Saracens had the final say<br />

whenfront rower Pete Manahe<br />

crashedover to score.<br />

Scoreboard: Saracens53<br />

Lastweek,itwas reported<br />

thatSaracens injured player<br />

pushovertries in the side’s<br />

gameagainstGlenmark. This<br />

was not correct. The scorer was<br />

Willie Kerr.<br />

Kaiapoi wins<br />

Kaiapoi did enough to<br />

thwart atypical grittyHurunui<br />

side, winning 25­18. In doing so<br />

it finished on top of the leader<br />

board with Glenmark­Cheviot,<br />

but dropped to second in the<br />

standingswith the combined<br />

sideemergingwith abetter<br />

points differential.<br />

Hurunui had asolidfirst half<br />

and went to the break with an<br />

11­10 advantage. The two<br />

teams then scored atry apiece<br />

and,with five minutestoplay,<br />

werelocked at 18­all.<br />

Rob Samsonfinally broke<br />

the deadlock, scoring for<br />

Kaiapoi before Hurunui<br />

stormed backinthe final<br />

moments but came up short.<br />

Honours for Ashley<br />

In amatch fittingfor afinal,<br />

Ohoka and Ashleybattled it out<br />

at Mandeville. WhileOhoka<br />

had alate opportunity,Ashley<br />

claimed linehonours.<br />

Ashleyprovided the early<br />

impetus and moved the ball<br />

wide early. Followinga<br />

penalty, the side was rewarded<br />

with an earlytry in the corner<br />

to theimpressive Ben Dunbar.<br />

However,Ohokawasn’t to be<br />

outdone and the sidewas soon<br />

on the board with aconverted<br />

try to MaxLines.<br />

Ashley wasn’t to be undone,<br />

either, and soon the pattern<br />

emerged with both sides<br />

seeking ascendancy.<br />

Luke and Josh Duckmanton<br />

for Ashley carriedstrongly, but<br />

it was Ohoka thatstruckagain<br />

with atry to Sam England.<br />

Again, Ashleyresponded with<br />

awell­workedtry to catch<br />

Ohokaout wide with atry to<br />

Anthony Tavendale.<br />

Patrick McCallum, for<br />

Ohoka, directed play from<br />

pivotand, with apenaltyinhis<br />

secondhalf was no<br />

different, with stoicdefence<br />

from Ashley’s NaariaWilson­<br />

Bairds and Andrew<br />

Olorenshaw, as well as Ohoka’s<br />

industrious Tom Taylor.<br />

It was Ohokathat faltered<br />

first, withaplayer senttothe<br />

sin bin. Ashleypounced, and a<br />

further try to Dunbar gave the<br />

northerners the upper hand.<br />

WhilstOhokacameback<br />

withaMcCallum penalty, it<br />

was Ashley that struckagain<br />

withatry to Scott Barber.<br />

WithOhoka back to 15<br />

players, Blain O’Loughlin<br />

continued to test the Ashley<br />

defence and it was awell<br />

worked try to Jack Wedlake<br />

thatput the homecrowd on the<br />

edgeoftheir seats, with Ohoka<br />

takingthe lead 27­26 with 7<br />

minutes left. However, likea<br />

goodnorwester, Ashleydidn’t<br />

let up and were soon awarded<br />

apenalty, which Korbyn Gray<br />

put over for a29­27lead.<br />

Despite alate Ohoka penalty<br />

attempt, that is how the score<br />

would stay.<br />

Ben Dunbar was aworthy<br />

Thoughtful planning and contemporary design blend together seamlessly in this expansive 330m 2 easy-care residence, with four<br />

bedrooms providing accommodation and three spacious living areas offering plenty of indoor/outdoor versatility.The kitchen, complete<br />

with quality appliances and walk-in pantry,isareal highlight, while the two superbly appointedbathrooms reflect the care and attention<br />

to detail that went into the construction of this beautiful home. Intelligent heating options (including amulti-fuel burner,two heat pumps,<br />

heat transfer system, and double glazing) guarantee year-round comfort, while the crisp, neutral décor will accommodate any style of<br />

What’s happening in your<br />

community…<br />

Alternate Route Advised During<br />

Skew Bridge Repairs<br />

Residents who cross Skew Bridge, near<br />

Silverstream ontheir commute between the<br />

Waimakariri District and Christchurch, are<br />

advised to use an alternative route from<br />

Monday 17 <strong>August</strong>.<br />

Engineers doing amaintenance assessment<br />

recently identified there are some repairs required<br />

to abeam under the bridge. Signage will be up<br />

along the route in the next week giving regular<br />

drivers of the road advanced warning.<br />

While the bridge will remain open to traffic it will<br />

be one-lane only with temporary two-way traffic<br />

lights in place. This will cause delays –sousing the<br />

alternative route is advised ifyou can.<br />

The temporary traffic lights will be in place until<br />

the work is completed, which will take around<br />

four weeks.<br />

Work is mainly needed underneath the bridge,<br />

and requires concrete to cure which takes time.<br />

Motorists might not see much happening while<br />

driving over the bridge, but we assure residents<br />

that we are working to get the repairs completed<br />

as quickly as possible.<br />

Vandals Wreck Victoria Park Toilets<br />

Victoria Park visitors were incredibly disappointed<br />

this week to discover the toilets have been<br />

significantly vandalised.<br />

This is the second incident ofthe and vandalism<br />

to Waimakariri District Parks in the last two weeks<br />

–afavourite playground item was last week stolen<br />

from Gladstone Park in Woodend/Pegasus.<br />

It is believed that the Victoria Park damage<br />

happened onWednesday 30 July with fixtures and<br />

fittings removed orsmashed up and bespoke vinyl<br />

ripped from the walls.<br />

There’s been an<br />

importantchange…<br />

Chris Brown, Manager, Community and Recreation<br />

says, “These facilities in avery popular park were<br />

recently refurbished to an excellent standard and<br />

are highly used by the public. It’s amindless act<br />

of vandalism that could cost thousands of dollars<br />

to repair.”<br />

The Council takes incidents like this very seriously<br />

and will be following up with the authorities.<br />

We ask that members of the public are vigilant<br />

when using our parks and facilities and if they see<br />

any suspicious behaviour or witness any incidents<br />

they report these to Council through our Snap<br />

Send Solve app or call us on 0800 965 468.<br />

Staff have seen it all in the<br />

Waimakariri District Council’s<br />

yellow recycling bins.<br />

Everything from dog droppings<br />

to batteries, light bulbs, old<br />

clothing, small electrical items,<br />

plant pots, egg cartons, lids and<br />

soft plastics end up in the yellow<br />

bin, creating extra work for staff<br />

at the Southbrook Resource<br />

Recovery Park.<br />

Staff will be conducting yellow<br />

bin audits soon over concerns<br />

that residents have got into bad<br />

habits since the lockdown.<br />

Waste Management operations<br />

manager Russell Gillies says<br />

most people follow good habits.<br />

‘‘What frustrates us the most is<br />

the people who just don’t care or<br />

take the effort. Ninety­eight<br />

percent of people are really<br />

good; it’s the 2% that just don’t<br />

care and don’t think about what<br />

happens to their rubbish.’’<br />

The council’s solid waste<br />

officer, Monese Ball, encourages<br />

people who want to do the right<br />

thing, but are unsure, to bring<br />

their items to the resource<br />

recovery park.<br />

just got to watch people and tell<br />

them,’’ she says of supervising<br />

visitors to Southbrook.<br />

Only grade 1, 2and 5plastics,<br />

All glass bottles and jars can go<br />

It has bins for the likes of<br />
