Fears as river blaze raged
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Kelvin and Kerryn Clark were on
tenterhooks on Sunday as awindfanned
fire raged along the Hurunui River,
forcing the precautionary evacuation of
the Hurunui rivermouth bach
community.
The Rangiora couple could do little
but wait for reports on the fire, which
began after an old burn flared up,
pushed along by astrong nor’wester.
Kerryn said it was unnerving waiting
for news in Rangiora, but they were
relieved when word reached them that
people staying in their bach near the
mouth had made it out safely.
Their holiday home was safe.
Six helicopters, urban and rural
volunteer fire brigades, and a20tonne
digger tackled the blaze that raced down
the north bank of the Hurunui River and
through three farms.
It was eventually stopped about 12
hours after it started, having burnt
within 2km of the settlement.
Principal Rural Fire Officer for
Canterbury Bruce Janes said quelling
the fire was agreat collaborative effort,
with the urban brigades from Waipara
and Cheviot looking after assets and
home protection, while the rural
brigades worked in the riverbed.
The three farmers involved were also
very helpful to firefighters.
The fire was reported about 6am,
starting where afarmer had undertaken
aburn afew days earlier.
‘‘It was so windy it started 20 fires,
which were separated by green grass
from pastures, which was the saving
grace,’’ Mr Janes said.

‘‘It was the bestlineup we haveever

However, after rescheduling four
timesbecauseofCovid 19 restrictions,
extreme weather warnings and an
unplanned clash with school holidays,
attendance was down on last year.
‘‘It was disappointing to seethe
numbers down, but the feedback from
thosewho did come has been
awesome.’’

Brackenfields complex for sale
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The Brackenfields shopping
precinct in Amberley is for
sale.
The property, ownedbya
syndicateoflocal investors,
went on the marketthis week.
The shopping centre—the
land and buildings only—
includes a3564squaremetre
Countdown Supermarket and
retail stores. It is for sale by
deadlineprivatetreaty, with
offers due by November 5
unless sold prior.
Tim Rookes, the managing
director of real estate firm
CBRE Christchurch, says there
is 5790sqm of lettable area on a
27,021sqm sitewhich fronts on
to Carters Road (State
Highway 1), withaccess alsooff
Amberley Beach Road.
He says demandfor
supermarketanchored
investments is at an alltime
highinthe Covid era, given
thatthey are tenantsthat
provide an essentialservice.
‘‘CBRE has beeninstructed
to sell the landand buildingsas
atenanted investment,’’ he
says.
‘‘Weare not aware of any
tenant movement within the
centre.’’
Mr Rookessays the climate
for commercialsales is pretty
tough.
However,therehad been
unprecedented resultsinthe
commercialsales spacethis
year.
This was notwithstanding
the arrival of Covid19, with
recordsalesinChristchurch,
numerous inquiriesonone
property asset worth more
than $5m, and morethan 212
qualified parties enquiring
about the TerraceDowns golf
resort, which soldrecently.
‘‘We are seeingareal spike
in owneroccupierenquiry,
fuelled by low interest rates
and the likelihood of negative
interest.
‘‘We have also seen the
introduction of the ‘essential
service’ tag, which is seen as
valuable as agovernment
tenant.’’
Thisapplied to Brackenfields,
with Countdownasthe
anchor tenant. ‘‘As such,
expectBrackenfields to attract
goodnational interestas
supermarketanchored
investments are seldom
available for purchase.’’
The centre openedinMay
2014, with acore group of about
halfadozen retail outlets
joining Countdown.
However, asmall numberof
other tenants have quit, and
someretail spaces havenever
beentenanted in the past6 1 ⁄2

The centre has plentiful

AformerRangiora High
School pupil’s contribution to
restoringChristchurch’s Avon
Riverwas remembered
during awalk on Sunday.
Evan Smith, who died last
August, was born in 1951 and
raised in Kaiapoi. He was
instrumental in efforts to turn
the Christchurch red zone
around the banks of the Avon
Riverinto apark.
Participants in the annual
GreatOtakaro AvonRiver
Walk stopped at aformer culdesac
off River Road in
Richmond, where Mr Smith
and his familylived for many
yearsuntilitwas redzoned,
to hear from membersofthe
Avon Otakaro Network
(AvON), which he cofounded.
‘‘I think of this as the ‘Evan
zone’and he’sleft his mark
everywhere really,’’ AvON
secretarytreasurer Sarah
Butterfield says.
‘‘As you come aroundthe

The bach community was
evacuated by the Hurunui
District Council Civil
Defence team because of the
high risk of the fire running
down terraces directly into
the village.
Aspecialist dangerous
tree team was on site on
Monday, felling burnt trees
afantastic example of how
Evan collaborated withlots of
people.
Walk leaderMark Gibson,
who cofounded AvON with
Mr Smith, recalled the latter’s
efforts to save redzone trees.
‘‘Early on Evan realised
they were bringingthe
bulldozers in and just
and keeping awary eye on
any flaresups as the high
winds returned.
Mr Janes urges anyone
with old burns to check
them. There is no legal
requirement, but it made
good sense, he said.
An ongoing series of
northwest winds is lifting
the fire risk across the
region.

Awoolly adventure unfolds
Local author Jennifer
Somervell, who is behind the
awardwinning TalesFrom
the Farm series, launched
her sixth bookinOxford on
Saturday.
More than 80 people
attended, including Peter
Carrell, the Anglican Bishop
of Christchurch, who
described ABaarilliant
Adventure,as‘‘a brilliant retelling
of the famous story of
the shepherds’ visit to
Bethlehem’’.
The book is not atale from
the farm likeJennifer’s
other books, but atale from
Israel, inspiredbyavisitby
Jennifer to that nation in
2011.
‘‘I imagined the angel
appearing to shepherds and
their sheepinthe fields
outside Bethlehem, and I
thought, ‘what happened to
the sheep? Wouldn’t they
followtheir shepherds?’ ’’
Adramatic adventure
results, as threesheep,
Rumbly, Tumbly and Woolly,
stumble after their
shepherds in the dark.
In keepingwith the
nativitysheepthemeofthe
book, the mostpopular guest
for the 30 or so children at
the launch was Sooty, a
South Suffolk crossbred
lamb.
Children were entertained
by sheepmaking, stardecorating,
colouringin
activities,and facepainting
animals from the book.
Jennifer waited seven
years for the rightillustrator.

‘‘I needed an illustrator
who could capture emotion
and facial expression,
including in sheep.’’
She met her Southland
illustrator, Zerika van
Jaarsveld, in early 2019 at
the Oxford Baptist Church.
‘‘Fromthe momentIsaw
her first pictures,Iknew the
book would be special. They
were outstanding.’’
Thoughthe story is
imaginative,itisset in an
accurate historic setting.
“I didn’twant white faces
and Romney lambs. We
neededthe right breed of
sheep —fattailed —and
clothing and footwear that
could havebeen worn 2000
years ago by Middle Eastern
shepherds.”
Help was sought from a
scholar in Israel to clarify
pictures.
Jennifer’s husband, Ken
Fletcher, researched the
nonfiction end section,
explaining the real nativity
history, and the close
relationship betweensheep
and shepherds of the time.
“There are layers in this
book. On one level it can be
read as adramatic storyof
rescue.But it alsospeaks of
the good shepherd and what
that means.”

Early polling places an hour away for some
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Voters keen to castanearly vote this week
in the generalelection face an hourlong
journey each way if theylive in some
partsofthe Hurunui district.
Voting facilitiesinthe district are not
available untilthis Saturday, meaning a
trip to Rangiora or Kaikoura for those
needing to votebeforethen.
Bill Blain, from Greta Valley, is
incredulous there are no voting booths in
the Hurunuidistrict, which is in the
Kaikouraelectorate,for residents to vote
beforeSaturday. He believes it is an
oversight and lacks common sense.
Mr Blainhas brought thematter to the
attention of the Electoral Commission
and MinisterofJustice AndrewLittle, but
is resigned to the fact his wife will haveto
traveltofindapolling booth before she
heads away ‘‘intothe bush’’before
facilitiestovote earlyopen on Saturday
throughoutthe district.
Maps availableonline on the Electoral
Commission’s website show an
abundance of earlyvoting booths, but they
confirm that Saturday is the earliest
peoplecan vote withinthe Hurunui.
In Rangiora, there are facilitiesinthe
shoppingcomplex nearthe Warehouse to
castanearly vote todayright up until
Friday, October16. Opening timesvary.
In Kaiapoi, early votescan be cast at
the Kaiapoi Cooperating Parish each day
until Friday next week,but hoursvary.
Voters heading north to Kaikoura can
voteevery day until October16, but,once
again, voters needtocheckthe map for
times the booth is open.
Additionalbooths will be available in
all three towns, but at the weekend only.

scientific presentation from
Jacobs was onlypart of the
story, and the council needed
to hear from local experts to
build afull picture of the
changingcoastal environment.
The Jacobs reportsays
Amberley Beach,Motunau and
GoreBay settlementsare most
at risk fromcoastal erosion
hazards because of the
proximity of the settlements
to the shoreline.
The most atrisk critical
infrastructure from coastal
erosion was assessedasthe
coastal segments of roadat
Amberley Beach(GolfLinks
Road),Conway Flat (Conway

(ClaverleyRoad).
Sections of all these roads,
plus sections of Cathedral

Gore Bay,are projectedtobe
affected by erosion within30
years.
Properties and houses at

The nextstepwill be aseries
of dropin sessions in

The council emphasised that
one size willnot fit all, and any

The finalstages willinvolve
identifying andassessing a

An eye to the coast
The Hurunui District council has been
engaging in recent weekswith our
coastal communities to listenand work
together to understand the potential
consequences of our changing coastal
environment.
The council, like others across New
Zealand, has arangeofresponsibilities
set out in legislation that requires it to
look 100 years into the future.
It is therefore critical thatwework
together to understand the issues and
develop aplan that provides certainty
and direction for future decisions.
It is important thatthose wholive in
the coastal environment share their
knowledge as this will be valuable in
directionsetting.
Jacobs Consultancy has identified
what coastal hazards may or maynot be
an issue in 30, 50 and 100 years from
now.
Further opportunities for public
consultation will be confirmed during
November and it has been agreed that a
series of dropin sessions willbe
hosted. Communication can also be
provided online at hurunui.govt.nz/
find/coastalconversations or by
contacting the team by email on
coastal@hurunui.govt.nz.
Iwould like to acknowledge the work

Candidates voice
support for NGOs
By DAVID HILL
Candidates at an election forum last
week say they are committed to
supporting social services in North
Canterbury.
The online forum, organised by
Social Services Waimakariri, was
different from most local forums as it
focused on the provision of social
services in rural areas rather than
being specific to the local electorate.
Candidates from several political
parties were invited to provide a
candidate, but just three logged in,
with Matt Doocey representing
National, Dan Rosewarne
representing Labour, and Gerrie
Ligtenberg stepping in for the Green
Party.
All three candidates agreed that
nongovernmental organisations
(NGOs), which fulfill government
contracts in their local areas, were
underfunded and saw aneed for more
social workers to be employed in rural
communities.
Mr Rosewarne says recent research
shows NGOs are funded for just twothirds
of their actual costs.
‘‘This has given the Labour Party
some figures to work with, but Covid
19 has added ahuge layer of
complexity.’’
Labour was committed to increasing
funding to NGOs to meet their costs
and to reduce the ‘‘pay parity gap’’
between NGO staff and state sector
employees, Mr Rosewarne said.
Mr Doocey questioned whether it
was possible for central government to
fully fund NGOs.
‘‘There’s aslight irony that it is
going to be more difficult financially,
sustainably for NGOs, but there’s
going to be increased need and Ithink
it’s incumbent on the government of
the day to understand about how they
can resource the NGO sector as afirst
line of defence.
‘‘Because we know that if you can
get to people earlier before they
develop either an entrenched
behaviour or asense of crisis, then you
can keep them out of statutory
services.’’
Ms Ligtenberg said it was time for
NGOs to be properly funded for their
contracted services.
‘‘The Green Party believes that
where there is awill there’s away. It’s
very easy to say that you are unable to
pay for everything, but that’s actually
not true.’’
Covid19 is an opportunity to do
something different, but it also
exposed inflexibilities in existing
systems and exacerbated preexisting
issues, the retired nurse said.
‘‘It (the social sector) needs to be
fully funded and it needs to be
necessary that there is pay equity.
‘‘You cannot say that you want a
highly experienced nurse or social
worker and then say they are worth
less than someone who is working in a
hospital.
‘‘And this is only atemporary cost,
because if you create an inclusive
society by having services available
from early childhood and people have
adequate incomes, you will save alot
of cost in the health service by
preventing people becoming sick.’’

He says thereare three main
foodbanks, at Waikari, Waipara and

Hanmer Springs and Waiau,had grown
out of acommunity response during the
Covid19 lock down.
Mr Hornblow is working with
Waimakariri organisations in abid to get
acohesiveapproach to food gathering
and storage.
However, more needs to be done in the
area of food forests and working with
supermarkets to secure aconsistent
supply of food.
‘‘We are now working on acollective

food security.
‘‘It’s not around supportingfood banks,

NZ First Kaikoura Candidate
Jamie is aMarlborough District Councilor
with over 10 years’ governance in local
government. Jamie has worked across
all facets of Council and as aqualified
Hearings Commissioner, has experience
with Environment Planning and the
RMA. Prior to Council and still apassion
for Jamie today, ishis involvement in
Horticulture. He is well known from his
time at local markets and for his family’s
long involvement in farming and fruit
growing in the region. Jamie completed
his Business and Management Diploma at
NMIT. His wife Sally, ahairdresser, and
their four children aged 11 -20, have been
actively involved in local markets and
festivals. Youwill often find them at local
sporting events and day to day schooling
activities.
Being ahard worker, good listener,
communicator and an active member of
the community -Jamie know the issues.
There are many major infrastructure
projects in the Kaikoura Electorate that
need Government support including
the Picton Ferry Terminal upgrades,
The Whale Trail along the East coast of
Kaikoura, Irrigation Schemes and future
water storage proposals, road and rail.
The Provincial Growth Fund will play
acritical role in our Region; Hanmer
Springs recently received $3.1m towards
domestic tourism to improve the thermal
pools and Kaikoura received $10.88m
for the Wakatu Quay and South Bay
Developments which are important for
employment and growth.
Covid-19 has presented major challenges
for our local economy. There are many
affected sectors such as hospitality,
tourism, accommodation, retail,
construction and the small to medium
sized businesses within that. Primary
sectors such as viticulture, seafood,
aquaculture, farming and forestry will be
critical for our recovery. Afocus must be
on stopping business closure, job losses
and providing support to our communities
around mental health. Parts of the
Kaikoura electorate are reliant on tourism
activities and it will be vital to showcase
our region as the gateway to the South
Island. There are major opportunities
with offshore aquaculture -the resilience
and growth of primary industries can
be ensured with favourable government
policies and the right investments into key
strategic assets.

After years ofrenovations and living
in cold damp rentals, Sarah and Nick
Hoffman’s dream was tohave ahome in
which to watch their future family grow up
in.
They both agreed that when the day came
to build their dream home, itwould be
done properly.
Almost all the companies they went to
presented them with abook of plans as
aplace tostart. They were told “these
are our plans, this is our spec, so if you
makes changes, then there isachange in
the fee’’ or “once you make changes after
this point, then we have to charge you a
modification fee’’.
Feeling frustrated and unhappy with
what they were being offered, Sarah
went searching for acompany they felt
comfortable with. She discovered Build7 Christchurch.
Sarah and Nick meet with construction manager Jamie Cowan and were
presented with ablank sheet ofpaper and asked to write down their
wish list for their dream home.
He asked them tolist things they really wanted "that will make the home
work for you and your family both now and into the future’’.
Jokingly Nick asked where the plan book was. Jamie replied Build7 did
not use them, "as we never build the same design twice’’.
On presentation of the first concept anestimate, Sarah and Nick
were pleasantly surprised with just how different Build7’s home
was compared to the others that were offered. It was clear Build7
had listened, understood and translated their wants into abeautiful,
architecturally, designed home.
With the design close, itwas time to start thinking about construction. Sarah and Nick had heard stories from friends
and family about the stress of building, and that being on site consistently each week was the only way to make sure
that things were being done right.
To add anextra complication, Sarah was now pregnant with the couple’s first child, and the due date was expected to
be exactly onthe scheduled complete date. Stress levels were high for both ofthem. Nick told Build7 they had to be in
the home before their son was born. Jamie took it in his stride.
There were things during the build that did not goright. The difference
was Jamie knew about them before Nick and Sarah did, event hough
they were onsite every week. When Jamie told them about the issues,
he also told them he had asolution which hefelt would suit them both.
To his word, they moved intotheir new home on schedule. Charlie was
born aweek later.
After reflecting on the exciting and fun building process, coupled with
the extra pressure ofpregnancy, Sarah and Nick knew they had found
something special with Build7.
During Covid-19, Nick’s job asanairline pilot was injeopardy. The family faced alot of uncertainty about whether he
would retain his job. One day they received aphone call from Jamie, who asked if they would like to come on board as
sales partners inBuild7 for the North Canterbury region.
Nick and Sarah never dreamed they would have been able tobuild anarchitecturally designed home with their budget
and enjoy the process. They wanted others to experience what they had in building their new home.
So Nick and Sarah are now helping bring dreams to life for clients inNorth Canterbury.
If you are looking for honesty, transparency, and something that you can truly be proud of living in, come and talk to
Nick and Sarah today.

Call for better funding
By DAVID HILL
Advocateshave called for more funding for
social servicesinNorthCanterbury as the
country goes to the polls.
Affordable and healthy housing, poverty,
funding for mental health services, climate
action and investment in Maori family
education,income,healthand housing are
election prioritiesfor North Canterbury’s
social service agencies.
Barnados rural social worker Sandy
Honeybonesays rural areassuch as the
Waimakariri and Hurunui are particularly
disadvantaged when it comes to accessing
central governmentfunded services.
‘‘Barnados always has lengthy delays for
services in NorthCanterbury as we have
available funding for onlyone fulltime
social worker.Yet in the Waimakariri and
Hurunui areaswehave seen multiple
setbacks which have impacted wellbeing.
‘‘We would like to see afuturewhere
everychild growing up in this country has
what theyneed to thrive, so we believe we
need to put children at the core of the
election.’’
Waimakariri AgeFriendly Advisory
Groupchairwoman Joanne Gumbrellsees
climate changeasthe biggest election
issue.
‘‘We older people despairfor the lives of
the youngergeneration and the world they
will inherit.
‘‘We fearfor our grandchildren and their
descendants, and mental health has
become abig issue.
‘‘From all of theseemergesthe fact that
the number one issue is climate change.
Everything else willbetrivial unless the
worldattendstothat nowand New
Zealand must playits part.’’
Joanne says Waimakaririhas an ageing
populationbut many olderpeopledonot
have access to adequate, affordable,
secure and warm housing.
‘‘Retirement villages are therefor those
who can afford it, while rentals are often
expensiveand/or substandard, and with
no support systems shouldweneed them.
‘‘We older people want to be heard, we
want to live well, we want to participate,
continuetolearnand to use our skills.
‘‘We wanttofeel safe when we walk
alongour streets. No cycles and scooters in
town centres please.’’
She alsocalls for fair pay for all health
and care workers.

Increased automation at pump
stations, new sheds,replumbing, greater

Anew firstresponse unit
(FRU),the firstofits typein

Its purchase was made

The new Volkswagen
vehicle is designed
specifically for volunteer
teams,such as Cheviot.
Past and present members
of St Johngathered recently
for its dedication.

Young people raise their key election issues
By DAVID HILL
Mental wellbeing, access to transport,
climate changeand youth employment
are the leading issuesfor young people
goinginto theelection.
Waimakariri Youth Councilmembers
HollyDuff and Sasha Crawford
addressed election candidates lastweek
aboutissues facing young people.
Youthaged12to14number morethan
9000 in the Waimakariri district.
Hollysays Covid19 had taken atoll on
youthmental wellbeing and was
impacting on NCEA assessments,which
addedtoanxiety levels.
‘‘This is especially important with
Covid19 expectedtodoublemental
health issuesamongst youth.
‘‘[Mediareports have indicated]the
past decadesaw arapidand concerning
rise in youth mental distress and suicide
rates, and that the Covid19 effects are
likelytobeextensive and enduring.
‘‘Manyofmyfriendsare stressed, as
duringthe lockdown we had to rush
through assessments and so got lowerthanexpected
results.’’
Alackofaccesstotransport means
many young are missingout on ‘‘forming
connections withfellow youth’’,
employment opportunitiesand
participatinginsports, community and
council run events, Holly said.
Sasha saidthe youthcouncil had
identified youth employmentasakey
issue,with alack of work experience
opportunities and concerns around
healthand safety and youth pay rates.
‘‘Lastyear therewas ayouth employment
expo which was well attended. I
attended it and thought it was very worthwhile,
so good things are happening, but
there was asetback this year.’’
The youthcouncil’s survey in 2018
found thatyoung people ‘‘care alot about
the local environment and protecting it
forfuturegenerations,’’ shesaid.
Hawarden Youth Council member
Bradley White said wellbeing was a
challenging subject for youth, ‘‘letalone
being in arural area’’. Finding atrusted
individual to talk to was alwaysa
challenge, he said.
‘‘I’d liketosee more youthful
counsellors/youth workers come into the
industry who are able to have that
connectionwith youngpeople, but still
being withinthe sameage demographic
where it’s not awkwardtohave ayarn.’’
The pressure of expectations of NCEA
can take atoll, he said,with burnout a
major issue.

‘‘It will position us well for
the future and Iampleased
to have the opportunity to be
involved.’’
Mr Sturgeon will be
responsible for overseeing
the $9.8m development of
Wakatu Quay and the $1.1m
business case study for
South Bay Harbour. The two

the district, and Ilook

as the project develops,’’ she
says.
Wakatu Quay is currently

asbestos and is now working

Autotech Services has been lookingafter
cars in NorthCanterbury since 1993,
servicingeverything fromclassic cars to
the latest European models.
Receptionist Nicole Summerfield says
Autotech offers aspecialist service for
European cars, meaning localresidents do
not needtogointo Christchurch.
‘‘We haveall the diagnostic tools and we

having to go into Christchurch,and we can
usually access the parts cheaperthan the
dealers are selling them for.’’
The Autotech team includes specialist
European car mechanic Dan and
apprenticeMatt,who is being trainedon
all the intricacies of European models.
‘‘It’s Dan’s forte. He loves the European
cars and he ownsaEuropean car, so he’s
rightinto it,’’ Nicole says.
‘‘They are veryunique in the way they’re
made,but Dan has beendoing it for along
time.He’s got alot of experience and he
likesdealing with the people. He’s really
good at explainingitinlayman’s terms.’’
Dan trainedonEuropean cars and is
familiar with issuesfor different makes.
Computersystems on the cars can make
them more complicated than other makes,
such as Toyota, but the diagnostic gear at
Autotech can unlock mostmysteries.
‘‘It’sthe closest thing you get to the
factory equipment, so we can do pretty
much everything,’’ Dansays. ‘‘I like
everything about them(European cars).
They are justbetter.Better design, better
build and better quality, and they’re just
bettertodrive.
‘‘The thoughtprocess that’sgone into
designing themhas beentop notch.’’
Nicolesays the Covid19 situation means
there can be adelay in getting parts from
Europe. ‘‘It can take aminimum of two
weeks to getparts fromFrance, but we do

loaning them for that twoweek wait.

Corridor work impresses
By DAVID HILL
Dan Gordon is impressed by
progress on theChristchurch
Northern Corridor.
The WaimakaririMayorwas
joined by HurunuiMayor Marie
Black andWaimakariridistrict
and Christchurch city councillors
and council staffinaninspection
of developments on StateHighway
1north of Christchurch and into
the city.
‘‘I was reallyimpressedwith
their project management.It’sa
big project with new(flyover)
bridges andsubways,’’MrGordon
says. ‘‘For our district,it’s goingto
be agamechanger,particularly
with thecycleway.’’
The$290 million project,
scheduled forcompletion in

Bureau worried by
digital exclusion
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The Citizens Advice
Bureau in North
Canterbury is concerned
at adrive to get people to
access government
services online.
Chairwoman Margaret
Finnie says the bureau is
concerned that
government services are
being withdrawn from
communities.
The service wants local
parliamentary hopefuls
to commit to ensuring
public services remain
accessible to everyone.
‘‘People of all ages are
coming to us stressed and
frustrated about their
experiences of trying to
access government
services. It’s getting
harder to access human
support from government
agencies, but people’s
need for facetoface
services is as real as
ever,’’ she says.
‘‘While online services
are great for some people,
the drive towards onlineonly
is leaving some of the
most vulnerable members
of the community
behind.’’
Many individuals
sought support from the
bureau because they
needed access to facetoface
services, paperbased
resources, and
empathetic human
connection.
Earlier this year, a
report by the Citizens
Advice Bureau made it
clear the public sector
relied heavily on the
goodwill of the bureau
and volunteers to fill the
gap from the
government’s withdrawal
from facetoface and
paperbased service
delivery.
Election candidates are
being asked to support
the recommendations of
the report, particularly to
pledge support to leaving
noone behind through
ensuring steps are taken
to address the digital
exclusion.
The bureau also wants
public services accessible
to all through offline
channels, and for its
branches to be
compensated through
being properly funded to
meet the demands as a
result of government
services going online.
It is also asking the
public to get behind a
petition. Apaper copy is
available at the bureau in
Percival Street, Rangiora,
in the Trevor Inch
Memorial library.Phone

Ashowcase of inspiration
The Hurunui Garden Festival is acelebration
of inspirational gardens, coupled with the
hospitality of their owners, and the people of
the Hurunui district.
The festival which runs from Thursday,
October 29 to Sunday, November 1, will
showcase 17 gardens, two self-driven tours
off the beaten track, and garden-based
events to educate and entertain. The gardens
are open from 9am to 5pm each day.
The popularity of the annual event has
grown since being launched in 2018, and the
district is preparing to host abounty ofvisitors
keen to enjoy gardens from Amberley to Gore
Bay, and Hawarden to Hanmer Springs.
The committee hopes the festival will
provide the opportunity for visitors to enjoy
along weekend, and visit wineries in the
region and cafes, and enjoy the many other
attractions the district has to offer during their
stay.
Two self-driven tours, over well maintained
shingle roads, will run each day. The $95
cost includes entry to each garden, morning
tea, lunch, afternoon tea, or sweet treats and
refreshments.
Anew tour, Mysteries of the Waipara Gorge,
complete with iron sculptures, concretions
and moa bones, has been introduced, while
the Hidden Gems from the Lowry Hills to the
Sea, makes its return.
Garden entry tickets at $10 per garden, are
available online at
www.hurunuigardenfestival.com, until
October 18. After that date tickets can be
purchased on the day, atthe gate.
The 17 gardens, five of them new to the
event, feature in the programme. They are in
six geographically-based clusters making it
easy to plan visits to multiple gardens.
Each cluster has its own detailed map on
the website, or in the glossy guide that is
available, showing the exact locations of the
gardens, along with other useful information,
such as the location of public toilets, fuel
stations and food outlets.
Owners have been hard at work maintaining
their gardens, especially as Mother Nature
has sent gales and frosts to thwart their
preparation. However, the team has banded
together to give each other ahand toclear
fallen trees and any other damage, to ensure
the gardens are pristine.
Check the website and guides for
information about each garden and the list of
events (pages 26 to 28), that some gardens
are hosting, such as photographic and art
exhibitions, stalls, floral art, music and jazz
singing, and learning about natives and
planting.
All the information to help visitors to enjoy
the garden festival is available on the website
www.hurunuigardenfestival.com or email
info@hurunuigardenfestival.com.
NB: Four gardens will not open on
Thursday, October 29.

Educate, entertain, inspire
The Hurunui Garden Festival was launched
in 2018 by agroup of keen local garden
owners to help the Hurunui district
recover form the impact of the devastating
earthquake of November 2016.
Many visitors turned out to the inaugural
event, making it along weekend so they
could enjoy the many attractions the district
has to offer, which this year will again
include the Hanmer Springs Fete onFriday,
October 30.
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black says the
festival offers the opportunity for aunique

run.
The Hero Photo competition invites people
and budding photographers who take photos
during the festival to submit selected high

organisers.
The photos will be used in all advertising

The 17 gardens, in six clusters, are just
one hour’s drive from Christchurch and

forward to greeting visitors, and sharing their
stories of how they created them.
There are garden events to educate,

Sisters aim to help
families with loss
By ROBYN BRISTOW
MiscarriageMatters NZ is
helping to show families that
theirexperience of losinga
baby to miscarriagematters.
NorthCanterbury sisters,
Aleisha Black and Corrine
Christian,started the charity
to supportfamilies and help
them find answers to
questions about miscarriage.
Aleisha explainsthat they
both became pregnant in 2018.
‘‘ButIwas the only one who
got to meetmybaby.
‘‘I am now mother to two
little boys aged 4and 2and
work parttime in acute little
gift shop in Amberley, Ruby
Six. Corrineisanoptometrist
at Rangiora Eye Carebut is on
maternityleave, caring for her
5monthold babygirl.
Both knew littleabout
miscarriage, but through their
personal experience and
subsequent research they
discoveredmany thingscan
be donetoimprove the
experience, which prompted
them to form Miscarriage
Matters NZ.
To celebrate its launchand
to mark International Baby
Loss AwarenessWeek,which
runs fromOctober 9to15,
Aleisha and Corrine will host
afun run at The Groynes
Reserve, Christchurch, on
Sunday, October 11.
Aleisha says their
organisation is supported by
volunteers, and local
businesses.
‘‘We have created awebsite
full of practical information
and advice, started a
Facebook page to be avoice
for miscarriage, and are
making and distributing care
packages in Canterbury.
‘‘We try to put homemade
love into our carepackages, so
we sew the calico bags
ourselves, andwemake seed
bombs and keepsakestoput
in them.
‘‘We know thatwecan’tgive
families backtheir babiesbut
we are trying to do everything
else that we can.’’
Aleishasays there are no
official records of the number
of miscarriages in New
Zealand, but in partnership
with Sands Canterbury, they
are supplying50care
packages to Christchurch
Hospital every month to keep
up with demand.
They are also starting to
supply care packages to
Canterburymidwives, as
many women who experience
miscarriagedonot require
hospitalisation.

Meetings go online in Covid era
By DAVID HILL
Federated Farmers is looking
to the future as it remembers
the past.
Afterachallenging year,the
NorthCanterbury provincial
executive has decided to hold
its 75th anniversaryannual
meeting online.
‘‘With the country bouncing
in and out of Covid restrictions,
we weren’ttoo sure whether it
was worthplanning something
onsite for our 75th jubilee, so
we thought it would be better
to keep it low key,’’ president
Cam Hendersonsaid.
‘‘I think it willbe
rememberedfor other reasons,
as it willbeour first AGM by
conference call and it’s in an
environment where the whole
worldhas changed.’’
Normally, AGMs are held
alongside an onfarm field day.
This year’s AGM was
originallyscheduled for May,
but was postponed in the hope
therewould be more certainty
laterinthe year.
It will nowbeheld from
5.30pm on Friday, October 16,
at theprovincialoffice in
Christchurch and will be
livestreamed.
‘‘We willlook at havinga
cake forthose who are onsite
Cam Henderson ... The Oxford farmer has racked up three years as provincial president.
and we may lookatdoing
somethingspecial to mark our
76thnext year,’’ he says.
The NorthCanterbury
provincialexecutive heldits
first meetingonline last week
and Mr Henderson wonders if
thiscould be the way of the
future.
‘‘The AGM events are good
for the regulars, but because
we are ageographically
diverse province,it’s not
always possible for some
memberstotake the whole day
offfarm, so we need to move
withthe times.
‘‘Evenfor executive
meetings,itcan be achallenge
for those further from
Christchurch if it takes them
1 1 ⁄2 hourstocome to
Christchurchfor a1 1 ⁄2hour
meetingand thenthey’vegot to
go homeagain, so it may be
easierfor members to get
involved online.’’
Freshwater regulations are a
hot topic, so Federated
Farmers national board
memberChrisAllen and
Environment Canterbury
councillor ClaireMcKay will
be guestspeakers.

Mitchell opens season in blistering form
BlackCaps starallrounder
DarylMitchell enjoyed his first
tasteofCanterbury country
cricket on Saturday, but
couldn’t help his new club side
to awin in the first match of the
season.
Mitchell, who moved from
Northern Districts to Canterbury
to playdomestic cricket
this season, electedtoplayhis
club cricket for Lincoln.
The 29yearold has also made
himselfavailable for selection
for the Canterbury Country
representativeteam.
On Saturday, in the opening
roundofthe CRV Ambreed
Country Premier One Day
2020/21 cricket competition,
Mitchell madehis Lincoln
debutinblistering fashion,
scoring 90 runs off just 64 balls,
including eight sixes.
But it wasn’t enoughtoget his
side an early competition win,
as it fell to astronglooking
LeestonSouthbridge XI
coached by Toby Doyle.
Lincoln, thanks largely to
Mitchell, made 190 all out in 40
oversinits firstinnings at
Leeston Park.
Countrycaptain Harry
Chamberlain led hisside to the
comfortable eightwicket win,
leading fromthe front with an
unbeaten 81 off 77 balls.Hewas
well supported by fellow
Country batsman RupertYoung
(39 off42) and Canterbury Kings
player Will Williams, who was
not outon55runs.
Gunninform
Aformer Black Cap starred in
Southbrook’s 58run win over
Cheviot, but it was 15yearold
George Gunn who stole the show
CRICKET
with astunning bowling
performance.
Afterveteranopener Tony
Hancoxblastedaquickfire
halfcentury for Southbrook,
formerBlack Cap Shanan
Stewart addedhis own 50 as
Southbrook, playingathome,
made 182 on alow, slow pitch.
The Cheviot Magpies flew off
to agood start in replywith the
bat, beforeanother Southbrook
stalwart, Darryn Boyle,came to
the bowling crease.
Boyleremoved the top order
and finished with three wickets.
But 15yearold Gunn was the
star of theshow,coming on as
the fifthbowler and
immediately having an impact.
He ripped through the
Cheviot lineup, which went
from 92/3tobeall out in the 36th
over for 124.
Ryan Ellis,with 28 off 67 balls,
tried to stickitout, but wickets
tumbled around him.
Gunn finished with the
remarkable figures of five
wickets for nine runs.
Heartbreaker
Competitionnewcomers
Ohokalost aheartbreaker away
against SeftononSaturday.
Batting first, the SeftonSeals,
as they have done for many
seasons, got off to asolid start
through openerTim Harrison.
He anchored the innings with a
composed 51 runs off 114 balls,
with Matt Laffey chipping in
with 34 and Canterbury quick
bowlerFraser Sheat scoring 29
off 35 balls.
They were all out on the

opportunity to getonthe
competition leaderboard
straight away, withmany of its
batsmen guilty of getting out
after making starts.
The match had athrilling
finish,with experienced allrounder

What’s happening in your
community…
Council Submits $10m Water Infrastructure
List for Government Approval
The Council finalised a$10m+ list of projects
last week which will see residents benefit from
upgraded Three Waters infrastructure.
The funding ispart of astimulus package made
available to the Council in return for signing up to
the first stage of the Government’s Three Waters
(drinking water, wastewater and storm water)
Reform programme.
This funding will allow anumber of projects, which
were planned for future years, to start immediately
without needing any significant up-front capital
costs from rates.
In order to access this funding, the Council was
required to submit alist of projects which
could start quickly and be mostly completed
within ayear.
Earlier this week the Council nominated the
following 11 projects:
• Loburn Lea Wastewater Upgrade
• Fernside Wastewater Upgrade
• Poyntzs Road Water Source Upgrade
• Tuahiwi Water and Wastewater Upgrades
• Oxford Wastewater Upgrades
• West Eyreton and Summerhill Storage Upgrades
• Ohoka Storage Upgrade
• Three Waters Reform Investigations
• Headworks Asset Management Improvements
• Drainage and Waterways Manager
• Central Rangiora Wastewater Upgrade.
The total value of these projects is $10.3m,
$8.02m of which will be covered by central
Government funding. The remainder will be
made up through targeted rates, development
contributions and general rates.
If the funding is secured, the communities that will
benefit from the projects can expect to hear from
the Council in the coming weeks and months as
detailed design work is completed.
Generally, the funding presents asignificant
benefit to the district providing much needed
infrastructure upgrades while minimising any
rating impacts.
Council expects to hear back from Government
regarding the approval of the nominated projects
within the coming month.
Walking and Cycling Made Safer
in Woodend
Kids in Woodend will soon have asafer way to
get to school thanks toanew shared path that
will link the existing Rangiora Woodend Path to
Woodend School.
The project aims to create apath where children
and families can bike and walk, and also to help
encourage more people to leave their car at home.
Residents have raised concerns about vehicle
speeds in the area and the Council is working with
the school toimprove safety in the area.
The new section of path will continue from the
existing path along the western side of Rangiora
Woodend Road, before crossing into School Road.
It will link with Waka Kotahi, NZTransport Agency’s
planned signalised crossing point on State
Highway 1which will be ready for the new school
term in 2021.
Asection of Rangiora Woodend Road, near School
Road is also wide enough to look at options for
improving the layout of the road, such as adding
car parking onboth sides of the road and new
planting.
There are two options for locals to consider.
Feedback on the road layout is open until 22
October and drop-in sessions will allow directly
affected residents to talk through the proposals
with staff.
