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.’’ 

Don uses Douglas fir for his

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.

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.’’ 

August round of events funding opens 


The Waimakariri Event Fund has opened 

for the Augustround, with local event 

organisers encouraged to apply for up to 

$5000. 

The contestable fund is providedbythe 

Waimakariri District Council, managed 

by Enterprise North Canterbury(ENC) 

and administered by Visit Waimakariri. 

It aims to support new events,which 

afterthreeyears of seed fundingshould 

be selfsustaining. 

Applications open for Marchand 

August each year,with atotalannual 

funding poolof$30,000. However, funding 

has increased for this latest round. 

ENC chiefexecutive HeatherWarwick 

says it has beenincreasedto$50,000 

becauseofunallocatedfunding last year. 

‘‘We are seekingapplications this year 

for new events and also fromthe existing 

events that were not able to run in 2020 

due to Covid19. 

‘‘We want to see these events remain 

and be reinvigorated for our residents 

and visitors.” 

Applicants can receive up to $5000togo 

toward the cost of event coordination or 

promotion. Funding is at the discretionof 

the funding panel. It is allocated to 

support events that show economic or 

community benefit to the district. 

Visit Waimakariri events and 

promotion administrator Lucy Harvey 

sayssupporting events andattracting 

people to the region through vibrantlocal 

events is more important than ever 

because so many were cancelledor 

postponed during lockdown. 

Businesses are also startingtograpple

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 


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,

the promotion of legalising the drug. 

The unsubstantiated claims of huge 

job opportunities and incredible tax 

benefits without any mention of the 

potential physical, mental, social and 

economic harm to New Zealand society 

was extremely disappointing. 

Inote that no mention was made of 

the link between cannabis use and 

progression to Pand other hard drugs. 

The government and many social and 

medical agencies have spent many 

years and countless millions trying to 

reduce the huge harm caused by

numerous; impaired driving causing 

many injuries and deaths, serious 

health issues including heart disease 

and lung cancer, family violence and 

criminal activities to fund dependence. 

Asubstantial part of our hardearned 

tax goes towards tidying up the mess, 

with ahuge burden on our hospitals 

and police and emergency services. 

And now, here we are in 2020, 

actually considering legalising another 

recreational drug. We must be mad!

Seat honours memory of Des 


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.

founding member of the local 

Memorialseat ... Rita

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. 

West Ward by-elections 

You should have received your voting documents by now – 

if you haven’t received them give Naomi acall or pop into 

the Council (Amberley Office) to do a Special Vote. 

Documents need to be in the post by this Friday to ensure 

they are received by noon on Friday the 14th If you miss 

the postal deadline these can be dropped back to the 

Amberley Council Office or any of our West Ward libraries - 

Hanmer Springs, Amuri or Hawarden. This weekend

Fly linefor Hanmer Springs 

A fly line will be an exciting new feature at Conical Hill, 

currently in the early stages of planning. It is due to open by 

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 ride will take nine minutes, and create plenty of jobs for 

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 

"WE'RE REALLY 

LOOKING FORWARD 

TO THE REST OF 

2020, WITH PLENTY 

OF PROJECTS 

HAPPENING." 

Aword from your 

CEO, Hamish Dobbie. 

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, 

and we are looking forward to delivering the 2020-21 

Annual Plan and developing the Long Term Plan, 2021-31. 

Also, in August wewill bemaking adecision onGovernment 

stimulus funding for water and waste water systems.

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 

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

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

Pandemic effects ... Logging operations have had avolatile year. 


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.

“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.

“Connectingwith others who feltthe

farming is right now.” 

Speakers from Otago, 

Hawarden and Kaikoura 

delivered presentations 

focusingonpersonal

“The eventhelped demystify the

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.

community… 

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 

driving over the bridge, but we assure residents 

that we are working to get the repairs completed 

as quickly as possible. 

Vandals Wreck Victoria Park Toilets 

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 

Send Solve app or call us on 0800 965 468.

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.
