Locals 

dig in 

over 

quarry 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Residents opposed to aproposal to 

quarry the Rangiora Racecourse have 

no intention of shying away from 

making their feelings known, despite 

submissions closing this week. 

Atotal of 172 submissions were 

received by the Waimakariri District 

Council and Environment Canterbury 

by last Friday. 

But ameeting of residents on 

Monday night to discuss their 

submissions and refine them suggests 

there could be aflood of additional 

ones by the cutoff time of 5pm on 

Friday. 

John Mather, who has facilitated 

several meetings of residents, says 

there will be no let up during the 

hiatus between submissions closing 

and the hearing of the quarry proposal 

by Taggart Earthmoving Ltd. 

‘‘There is awillingness to keep the 

awareness about the proposal high, 

and to keep the momentum going,’’ he 

says. ‘‘This is avery democratic 

process about people having asay, 

rather than experts arguing (the 

consent) in the Environment Court, 

although it may come to that. 

‘‘The best approach is to allow 

people to have avoice, and people are 

going to find out what heartfelt 

thoughts Rangiora residents have 

about the quarry,’’ Mr Mather says.

By SHELLEY TOPP

the large crowd attending 

the annual street party in 

Rangiora last Friday night. 

High Street was closed to 

traffic for the evening, and 

there were many stalls 

selling arange of products. 

It was arelaxed, fun 

atmosphere, with an array of 

street performers, 

children’s entertainment, 

live music from 

Christchurch covers band 

Danger Baby,and Father 

Christmas in attendance. 

Rangiora’s Steve 

Hamilton, who was watching 

Lyttelton contortionist Skye 

Broberg’s performance, said 

it was ‘‘an amazing show’’. 

His daughter Zara, aged 6, 

was excited to be chosen by 

Skye as her assistant for part 

of the show. 

‘‘We love this stuff. These 

kind of community events 

are awesome,’’ he said. 

‘‘It is one of the reasons we 

came to live here. Rangiora 

is such agreat community 

for families.’’ The show

Hopes high for Toot for Tucker 

By DAVID HILL 

North Canterbury’s food 

banks are looking forward to 

receiving aboost from 

Tuesday’s Toot for Tucker. 

Organiser Bev Wright says 

the volunteers are ready to go 

and now they need food to 

collect when Toot for Tucker 

hits the streets of Oxford, 

Rangiora, Woodend, Kaiapoi 

and Amberley between 6pm 

and 7pm on Tuesday. 

Food banks that have been 

busy supporting families 

struggling in the wake of 

Covid19 are hoping for a 

boost to help them get 

through the Christmas 

period. 

‘‘What we really need is 

food for the food banks, not 

just for Christmas but for the 

months that come after it. 

‘‘Times can get tough when 

people go back to work after 

Christmas and the kids go 

back to school, and especially 

for those who have found 

themselves out of work.’’ 

When finances are tight, 

food is usually the first thing 

people cut back on, Bev says. 

‘‘We are catering for the 

whole community and there’s 

always times when people 

find it abit tough. 

‘‘Budgets are pretty tough 

PLUMBING -new builds, bathroom, kitchen & 

laundry alterations, maintenance 

LOG FIRES - installs, assessments, permits 

PUMPS AND WATER TANKS

BACK FLOWS - new installs and testing

for many families. You have 

to keep your car on the road 

and keep it insured, so you 

can find work, so it means the 

only real flexibility in the 

budget for most people is 

food or Christmas presents.’’ 

Bev says all food collected 

on the night will stay in North 

Canterbury.

Region takes on aChristmas flavour 

By DAVID HILL 

Christmas trees and all the trimmings are 

adding festive cheer outside the Rangiora 

service centre and the Ruataniwha Kaiapoi 

Civic Centre. 

The Waimakariri District Council is doing its 

bit to raise Christmas spirits after achallenging 

year, with alarge Christmas tree installed 

outside the Rangiora service centre last week. 

Kaiapoi’s contribution was delayed until 

Saturday to avoid disruption to weekday traffic. 

Christmas flags are also going up in Rangiora, 

Kaiapoi and Oxford, while little Christmas 

trees have been put up on the Williams Street 

bridge in Kaiapoi. 

Summer flags that usually go up in early 

January will arrive alittle later than usual as a 

new flag system is being introduced, and the 

changeover has caused ashort delay. 

The everpopular North Canterbury News 

Christmas Tree Festival will relocate to the 

Rangiora Town Hall this year, where up to 40 

trees will be on display throughout the ground 

floor from December 5to18. 

Tree viewing is between 10am and 6pm each

Mixed views on Ravenswood town-centre plan 

Thinking big ... Ravenswood Developments Ltd wants to substantially increase the retail space available in its new subdivision, which would effectively create anew town centre. 

Pictured is the New World supermarket under construction. 

IMAGE: SUPPLIED 

By DAVID HILL 

Aproposal to create anew town 

centre zone at Ravenswood has 

been met with amixed 

reaction. 

The Waimakariri District 

Council has expressed 

concerns at the proposals in the 

private plan change request 

submitted by Ravenswood 

Developments Ltd, which was 

notified this month. 

But WoodendSefton 

Community Board chairwoman 

Shona Powell suspects the 

development is inevitable, 

although the board has yet to 

discuss the proposal. 

‘‘Personally, Isee that it 

certainly has pros and cons, but 

the way Ilook at it, where is the 

retail going to go if it doesn’t go 

here? Rangiora is pushing out 

in all directions and it runs the 

risk of becoming disjointed, 

while development opportunities 

in Kaiapoi are 

limited.’’ 

The biggest challenge with 

developing anew town centre 

at Ravenswood is access, 

because of traffic volumes on 

State Highway 1, Ms Powell 

says. ‘‘It’s going to happen 

anyway, but the big question is 

how do people get there safely? 

‘‘The only safe way to get into 

Ravenswood is by private car. 

There’s no bus and no safe 

access for walkers and 

cyclists.’’ 

With the retail developments 

in the area set to grow, she 

believes now is the time to look 

at creating aWoodend/Pegasus 

promotions group to support 

local businesses. 

At present, Woodend and 

Pegasus come under the 

Kaiapoi Promotions 

Association. 

‘‘There are alot of homebased 

businesses in the area 

and Ithink people are 

surprised at just how many 

businesses there are —it’s not 

just retail.’’ 

Ms Powell says the board will 

be meeting this week to discuss 

whether to make asubmission 

before the initial consultation 

period ends on December 4. 

The council’s development 

planning manager, Trevor 

Ellis, says council staff had 

planned to review the zoning as 

part of the District Plan review, 

with aview to opening up more 

commercial space. 

‘‘The council has for some 

time been looking at the zoning 

in the area and looking at 

where the key activity centres 

should be and Ravenswood is 

looking to drive that forward. 

‘‘The proposal enables more 

commercial floor space which 

is good for the district in 

potentially creating more jobs 

and more commercial activity.’’ 

Ravenswood’s proposal is for 

12.8 hectares to be rezoned as 

business zone 1(town centre 

zone), which would include 

35,000 square metres of retail 

floor space. 

But the council has concerns 

with the overall proposal and 

will be making asubmission. 

Concerns include ‘‘the extent 

of the floor space’’ and the 

potential impact on other 

centres, Mr Ellis says. 

‘‘The submission will be 

around the scale of the 

commercial centre and seeking 

amore accurate plan and 

clearer objectives.’’ 

There will be afurther 

submission period in the New 

Year, where interested parties 

can review submissions before 

public hearings in front of an 

independent commissioner.

KAIKŌURA VIEWS 

MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE 

Fine service acknowledged 

Last week we announcedthe appointment 

of our new chief executive, WillDoughty. 

As we welcome Will to the role, Iwant to 

acknowledge everything that outgoing 

chiefexecutive Angela Oosthuizen has 

achieved. 

Angela arrived in the job to find apartly 

builtCivic Centre withbudget issues, and 

oversaw its completion. 

Then the quake completely changed the 

lay of the land, literally! 

This is not ajob thatmany would want or 

understand,but she has led the council 

staffand communitythroughthe response 

and recovery phase successfully. 

During Angela’s time as chiefexecutive, 

a$38.6 million infrastructure rebuild has 

been delivered on budget, she has built a 

strong, capableteam of staff,and is leaving 

council in amuch stronger financial 

position than imagined. 

Iknow that Angelaworked countless 

hoursabove and beyond what was asked of 

her, including nightsand weekends. As a 

result we are in agood position to move 

forward. 

Council chief executives takealot of 

flak,mostly incorrect and sometimes 

personal and unfair. 

Iknow that Kaikoura can rise above that 

and is a‘‘bigger’’ community, so I’d like to 

extend abig thank you to Angela for all 

that she has done bothfor the district and 

the people living there.

Ileft the meeting thinking thatif 

farmers are to haveany chance of 

avoiding being ‘‘run over’’ they needto 

mirrortrade unions in other industries. 

Hallmarksofsuccess aresixfold: 

Singularity of focus, clearmessaging, 

strength in numbers, assure resolute 

leadership, absenceoffactions, and 

solidarity. 

Let’s do it. Whatstopsus? Apathy, 

fear, yes but probably not. Rather, our 

verystrengths renderuspowerlessand 

ripefor takeover. Thesestrengths are 

fierce individualism, independenceand 

selfreliance. Indeed,thesequalitiescan 

onlyensure that we willbedivided and 

ruled.Together, these veryattributes 

are our substantial weakness. 

Teamwork is our ace card. The 

obituary of two of the three pigs would 

havelamentedthe lack of teamwork too 

late. 

As for the gingerbread man, his trust 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

and cooperative nature —his strengths 

—led to his demise. If he was alive 

today,and in asense perhapsheis, he 

would be impressed by clever dynamics 

and perhapssubtle sophistry. 

He would be adept at giving the 

benefit of the doubt.Hewould be second 

to noneatturning the other cheekand 

takingrefuge in naivety. 

And as to the wooden horse?He/she 

would be lavishly dining on oats, chaff, 

and fresh lucerne—all products

Praise for sandpit 

Dear Editor, 

What agreat decision by Te Matauru 

Primary Schooltoopt for agiant 

sandpit, also for use by older students 

(NorthCanterbury News,November 12). 

Asandpitallows opportunities for a 

large number of students to learn 

together and to play without rules and 

limitation. This is one of the cheapest 

resources to provide for creativity, 

engagement,cooperation, problem 

solving and awide varietyofplay 

choices. This is wherethe Key 

Competencies of the New Zealand 

Curriculum and inclusion can be seen in 

actionduring every breaktime. 

Many schools withlarge or multiple 

sandpits have added hoses, ropes, 

pulleys, buckets, funnels and ramps for 

experimentation.Students oftenlike to 

bring toys and objects from home which 

also addstotheir learning through 

sharing and managing theirpossessions. 

Well done Rachele Poole and Te 

Matauru School. 

Yours, 

Dr Llyween Couper

The Kaikoura District 

Council has namedWill 

Doughty as its new chief 

executive.

Colette and children Olivia 

and Josh have been living 

in the districtfor just over 

three years. 

He originally cameto 

Kaikoura for his role as the 

council’s rebuild director 

after the earthquake, and 

subsequently as the 

environment and key 

deliverables managerwith 

the NorthCanterbury

experience acrossawide 

range of projects, 

delivering majorwork 

programmes for the

completely changed things. 

The councilinfrastructure 

rebuild was a 

$38.6 million projectthat is 

tracking on budget and 

nearingcompletion. 

“This is ahuge 

achievement for asmall 

council. As CEO, Angela 

has created astrong and

under her leadership we 

are in amuch better 

financial positionthan

Chargers to

Electric Vehiclechargerswill soon 

be poppingupacrossthe 

Waimakariridistrict. 

The WaimakaririDistrict Council 

has signed an initial agreementwith 

Meridian to support the installation 

of chargers in car parksinRangiora. 

“Getting anetworkofcharging 

infrastructure in key locations is a 

great result for Waimakariri,” says 

Cr Niki Mealings, the council’s 

climate change portfolio holder. 

“This initiative is just asmall part 

of the council’s ongoingcommitment 

to sustainability and reducing 

emissions in response to climate 

change.” 

In December last year, the council 

committed to supporting the uptake 

of electric vehicles in the districtby 

making space available for charging 

infrastructure in councilowned car 

parks. 

Councillors, afterconsidering two 

formal proposals, ultimately 

accepted astaffrecommendation to 

work with Meridian,which has 

extensive experience with electric 

vehicles and associated 

infrastructure. 

The first chargers willbeinstalled 

in the car park behindRangiora 

Libraryand willallow four vehicles 

to charge simultaneously. 

Once those are established, there 

are plans for installing more 

charging stations at Woodend, 

Kaiapoiand Oxford. 

The dualsocketed22kW AC 

charging stations can deliver up to 

120km of travelper hour of charging, 

depending on the vehicle make and

MANDEVILLE CRAFT FESTIVAL 

Festival set for record crowd 

The Mandeville Craft Festival has 

firmly established itself on the North 

Canterbury events calendar. 

The cruisy day out for families, 

complete with arelaxed community 

vibe, has grown into more than just a 

major fundraiser for the Ohoka Rugby 

Club. 

It is now amuch vaunted retail 

experience, where visitors can enjoy 

live music, entertainment, colour and a 

country atmosphere at the picturesque 

Mandeville Sports Centre. 

Organiser Dee Bigelow believes this 

year’s event on Sunday, December 6, 

will see the largest crowd yet turn out 

to enjoy the 130 stalls, including ahuge 

array of tempting food stalls offering 

everything from Mexican, barbecue and 

gourmet burgers, to Sushi, hot potatoes, 

dumplings and salads. 

Then there are sweet treats to follow, 

including pancakes, waffles, and ice 

creams, along with hot and cold drinks, 

juices, smoothies, and abar. 

Dee has now been at the helm for five 

years, ensuring acontinuation of the 

work of all the people in the rugby club 

who have served on the committee over 

the years. 

She has helped build asound platform 

for the festival to flourish and believes 

this year will help build momentum 

toward next year’s 10th anniversary 

celebrations. 

Dee loves the challenge of providing 

exciting and tempting stalls for people to 

treat themselves, or buy gifts for others. 

“There will be stalls you have visited 

before and love, and you can discover 

new favourites,” she says. 

“I love it. Ilove the feedback, and love 

to see people enjoying what’s on offer,” 

she says. 

She is also excited to have three 

musicians this year. Acrowd favourite, 

Sharon Miller returns. 

Sharon is familiar to many as a 

presenter at Compass FM. She will 

also multi-task on the day as she has a 

regular stall, Art of Aroma. 

Acoustic duo, The WaxBirds, from 

Oxford, will play arange of easy 

listening songs, alongside their own 

material. They will donate 20 percent of 

merchandise and album sales to various 

New Zealand Wildlife conservation 

efforts. 

Mandeville’s Ellen Rose has arrived 

back in New Zealand and quarantined in 

time to play at the festival. She has been 

in the United Kingdom for the past few 

years working as amusician playing at 

restaurants, pubs, events and weddings, 

and is “coming home”, having gone 

to Pony Club at the Mandeville Sports 

Centre for years. 

Willoughby’s Creative from Rangiora 

will provide ahands-on experience for 

festival-goers with fibre and they will be 

joined by several other activity-based 

stallholders this year as Dee looks to 

Crowd favourite, Sharon Miller is back again this year to entertain the crowds. 

develop this area. 

Dee begins organising the event in 

March, with the rugby club joining her 

later in the year. 

She says the event is apassion because 

it helps the community and provides a 

platform for local crafts people sell their 

products. 

“It is acruisy day, atanawesome 

location. There is lots of off street 

parking and it is only $5 to get in.” 

This year Tall Poppy Real Estate 

North Canterbury and Enterprise North 

Canterbury are supporting the event. 

Event proceeds will go toward a 

proposed LED lights upgrade, jerseys 

and other gear for junior and senior 

teams.

including Maukatere, Floating Mountain, 

which was published in 2016. 

There is also asubstantial number of 

new poems, many of them touching on 

her life at Amberley Beach. 

‘‘It’s as close as I’ll ever get to writing 

an autobiography,’’ she says. 

Bernadette wonders where on earth 

the ‘‘wilful’’ sonnets in the final pages of 

the book have come from. 

‘‘It was such fun writing them. It was as 

if Ihad kicked down the stable doors and 

taken to the hills.’’ 

Afeature of Fancy Dancing is artwork 

by Christchurch artist Robyn Webster. 

In 2015, Bernadette collaborated with 

Robyn on Matakaea, Shag Point.

Day Bros Painting &Plastering - 

quality handling for aquality finish 

Day Bros Painters and Plasterers has been 

serving the North Canterburycommunity for 

more than 30 years. 

The family business was established by 

brothers Graham and Kevin Day back in the 

1980s, with Graham’s son Brett joining the 

business as ateenager. 

Company directors Brett and Jemma took 

over in 2005 and now employ nine loyal staff, 

including two apprentices, who live locally. 

“Wehave managed to retain our staff through 

Covid-19 and we are thankful to our loyal clients 

that we have been able to do that,” Jemma says. 

“Wewere able to go back to work at Alert 

Level 3and we followed all government 

guidelines whilst doing our best to support our 

staff through averydifficult time. 

“Wetakehealth and safely veryseriously for 

our guys and making sure they have the right 

qualifications.” 

The couple works in closely with general 

manager Davitt Joslen, who has been with the 

company for two years, and since the lockdown 

have added aprofessional plasterer,Sam van 

Hulten,tothe team. 

“Painting is the last thing that gets done in a 

house, but if the plastering hasn’t been done 

right it can ruin the finish, so having control 

over the plastering helps us with our quality 

control,” Brett says. 

Day Bros takes on jobs between Christchurch 

and Kaikoura and has done anumber of 

insurance and earthquake work in recent years 

in the northernpart of the region. 

“Brett has worked closely with clients and 

insurance companies to make sure clients are 

getting what they are entitled to,” Jemma says. 

This experience has allowed Brett to see a 

gap in the market in helping clients to manage 

the overall project, whether that is kitchen or 

bathroom make-overs, repair or maintenance 

work and building work. 

“A lot of clients don’t know where to start, 

so we can sit down with them and talk them 

through it,” Brett says. 

“Weoffer the full package and take the hassle 

out of aproject and we deal with other tradies 

and contractors so we can arrange 

for the work to getdone on 

time.” 

Major painting projects 

completed in recent 

years include the 

historic Highfield 

Woolshed at 

Outdoor 

Waiau, the Waiau 

Community Pool 

and churches 

at Waiau and 

Waikari. 

Living 

When it comes 

to hazardous 

substances, the 

Day Bros team 

works in with 

other contractors 

who they can call on 

for removal of asbestos 

and methamphetamine 

contamination. 

Making amark ...The historic Highfield Woolshed restoration at Waiau is one 

of many projects Day Bros Painters and Plasters has worked on since the 

November 2016 earthquake. Photo: Supplied 

Many landlords 

are not aware 

that pre-checks 

are required 

for insurance 

purposes for any 

future claims for 

methamphetamine 

contamination, Brett 

says. 

Day Bros takes on both 

commercial and residential 

work and can 

also do airless 

spraying, water blastering, roof 

work and floor work, and offers arange of 

paint colour options to clients from all the top 

paint brands. 

‘‘Weare not the cheapest around, but we 

can offer advice on different aspects of awork 

project if are stuck for ideas and Brett can sit 

down and help you with you colour selections,’’ 

Jemma says. 

Day Bros is amember of Master Painters 

New Zealand and the team goes out of its way 

to ensure they leave awork site clean and tidy. 

‘‘Wepride ourselves on that,’’ Brett adds. 

‘‘And we take special care of people’s property 

and especially their gardens.”

permanent crossing. 


incredible discoveries 

The Mill Waikuku 

Making it safer for Woodend School 

students to cross State Highway 1isa 

step closer. 

Work on installing traffic signals 

outside the school began this week. 

The original crossing point has been 

withdrawn and atemporary one put in 

place until the traffic signals are operational 

ahead of the new school year. 

Representatives from the New 

Zealand Transport Agency and Fulton 

Hogan talked to the children about the 

work on Monday. 

Waimakariri District Mayor Dan 

Gordon and school principal Adrienne 

Simpson were also there to celebrate 

the start of the work and try out the 

temporary crossing. 

Speeds through the area will be 

reduced to 30kmh during the work. 

Motorists are urged to take extra care 

and follow the signs. 

The work comes after lobbying from 

the Woodend community for aroad 

bypass, which has yet to be approved. 

The agency has meanwhile agreed to 

safety improvements for pupils and 

other users when crossing SH1. 

Mr Gordon said the signals were a 

great start in making the Woodend, 

Ravenswood and Pegasus communities 

safer.

Special honour ... North Canterbury Musicals life member Edy Lawrey has been awarded 

aMusical Theatre New Zealand Merit Award to honour her outstanding achievement and 

contribution to musical theatre. 


Edy’scontribution to 

musical theatre noted 


North Canterbury Musicals life member 

Edy Lawrey has been awarded the 

prestigious Musical Theatre New 

Zealand (MTNZ) Merit Award. 

The national award was introduced in 

1993 to honour outstanding achievement 

and contribution to musical theatre. 

North Canterbury Musicals secretary 

Angela Peverill says Edy is atreasured 

member. 

‘‘We are very appreciative of the time 

she has given and continues to give to 

our society.’’ 

Edy began her association with the 

North Canterbury Musical Society 

(NCMS), as it was known then, with her 

husband, Graeme Lawrey, in 1986. 

‘‘Graeme was in the NCMS production 

of Fiddler on the Roof that year,’’ Edy 

says. Graeme died four months ago. He 

had also been alife member of the 

NCMS and aMerit Award recipient. 

He was instrumental in establishing 

Rangiora’s Northbrook Studios 

performing arts buildings where North 

Canterbury Musicals is based. He 

negotiated with the council for the land 

to establish Northbrook Studios and 

organised the transportation of the 

former tech block buildings from 

Rangiora High School to the Northbrook 

Road site in 1988. 

‘‘That is his legacy,’’ Edy says. 

The couple shared acommon interest 

in music and the theatre. They met at the 

Oamaru Operatic and Musical Society. 

They were married for nearly 50 years 

and their four children, including NCMS 

committee member and life member 

Leanne O’Mahony, all share their 

interest in music and the theatre. 

Edy’s role has been as apianist, either 

as arepetiteur or as an orchestra 

member (or both). 

‘‘I have played piano for 25 shows and 

concerts over the years,’’ she says. 

Edy also served eight years as a 

committee member and was the 

treasurer for two of those years. 

She has also done frontofhouse 

ushering for many annual productions, 

as did Graeme. 

Edy has also been the pianist for the 

weekly rehearsals of North Canterbury 

Musicals’ singers group, as well as their 

performances, for more than 10 years. 

She loves the joy that the music and 

harmonies give her and revels in the 

camaraderie of the group. 

‘‘They are avery friendly, social group 

of people,’’ she says, which has been a 

great help to her since Graeme’s death. 

Her favourite show is Les Miserables. 

‘‘The music is very uplifting,’’ she says. 

Edy was born in The Netherlands and 

came to New Zealand with her family 

when she was five. 

She inherited her love of music from 

her mother, Anneke Buutveld, ‘‘a 

proficient pianist’’, and her maternal 

grandfather, Eduard van Vianen, a 

professional violinist. 

Emma Blackwell named Dux 

Head girl Emma Blackwell has been named 

Kaiapoi High School Dux for 2020. 

The resultwas announcedatthe school’s 

recent prizegiving. 

It was abig night for Emma,who won the TE 

French Prize forDux, the Robertson Cup for 

general helpfulness, the SchoolSpirit Award

Reserve to be developed 

Architect recognised for house renovation 

Rangiora architectural designer Jason 

Higham, from Higham Architecture, is 

back in the winner’s circle. 

He has been awarded ahighly 

commended in the Designer 

Renovation category of the 2020 Trends 

International Design Awards (TIDA). 

Jason had earlier been shortedlisted 

as aNew Zealand finalist for a 

Redwood alterations project. 

Higham Architecture has won more 

Plans afoot ... Amaster plan is being 

developing for Millton Memorial Park, which 

will see undeveloped areas transformed. 

Waimakariri residents will soon have an 

opportunity to share their feedback on 

the development of Millton Memorial 

Park, alongside River Road in Rangiora. 

The RangioraAshley Community 

Board approved consulting on adraft 

plan for the area earlier this month. 

Staff outlined the proposed features of 

the plan during the board’s November 

meeting, which includes an arboretum 

(an area devoted to specimen plantings 

of trees and shrubs), and expansion of 

the dog park with an agility area. 

Aspace has also been identified for 

the North Canterbury Model Railway 

Club to construct anew building to 

house the club’s displays. 

Apublic toilet is included in the plans, 

and is budgeted within the council’s 

Long Term Plan for 2024/25. 

Board chairman Jim Gerard says the 

board is looking forward to sharing the 

draft plan with the community and 

encourages residents to tell the board 

what they think, and provide ideas and 

feedback to help form the final master 

plan for the reserve. 

During adeputation to the board in 

June, Rangiora resident Trevor Wright 

expressed his vision for an arboretum. 

Staff are now looking into tree species 

that will thrive in the stony, freedraining 

soils of the area. 

The board has used funds from its 

General Landscaping Budget to help 

seed the reserve development and get it 

off the ground quicker. 

‘‘The board is very supportive of the 

reserve development that will also 

enhance the entrance into Rangiora for 

those crossing the Ashley Bridge,’’ Mr 

Gerard says. 

Feedback on the proposed plan will 

open later this month, and more 

information will be available on the 

council website.

How Marvel Health screening can 

reveal the causes of chronic tiredness 

The Whole-body health screening and 

monitoring performed atMarvel Health 

can reveal the underlying causes of 

chronic tiredness. 

Several health problems are associated 

with tiredness. 

Chronic inflammation of the gut is 

awell-known cause of chronic fatigue 

syndrome. Microbes such as Candida, 

as well as food allergies and food 

additive sensitivities, are some of the 

causes of chronic inflammation of the 

gut which impacts food digestion and 

nutrient absorption leading tonutrient 

deficiencies. 

Some nutrients such asIron, Vitamin 

B12, Chromium and Selenium are crucial 

for generating energy inthe body. 

Iron and Vitamin B12 are needed to 

produce haemoglobin, the red pigment 

in blood that carries oxygen to tissues. 

Oxygen is also essential for generating 

energy, and areduced oxygen supply to 

the tissues can cause chronic tiredness. 

Diseases that impact breathing, such as 

asthma and chronic allergies, can cause 

chronic tiredness. 

Hormonal imbalances such as 

reduced thyroid function and adrenal 

insufficiencies are recognised causes of 

tiredness and chronic fatigue syndrome. 

The Marvel Health Scan examines all 

the organs and tissues in the body and 

uses advanced 

algorithms to 

determine the likely 

diseases that may 

be present. 

It screens the body for some of 

the underlying causes ofchronic 

inflammation and chronic tiredness, 

including harmful microbes (bacteria, 

fungi, worms), food allergies and nutrient 

deficiencies. Itcan determine the rate of 

inflammation and degeneration ofthe 

thyroid and adrenal glands and other 

organs, toreveal their state ofhealth and 

level ofactivity. 

The scan performs adetailed 

examination of the whole body and 

generates acomprehensive and in-depth 

report of aperson’sstate of health. 

Our doctors and specialists study the 

report from the scan and guide you in 

ways to support the healing ofthe body.

Children and pets 

get chance to shine 

By DAVID HILL 

Canterbury children lined 

up for their annual show 

experience last week after 

an uncertain year. 

The cancellationofthe 

New Zealand Agricultural 

Show because of Covid19 

did not stoplocal children 

getting their annual taste of 

showing, with the 

Canterbury A&P 

Association’s children’s 

agricultural day going 

ahead recently. 

While therewere many 

pet lambs, afew chooks and 

apig on show, the pet calves 

were notablyabsent 

because of arecent reemergence 

of Mycoplasma 

bovis. 

Senior lambs judge 

JonathanCardenHoldstock 

said he was impressed by 

the stockskills of the 

children. 

Several childrenhad 

even researched the origins 

of their sheep breeds,he 

said. 

‘‘Thekids’ knowledge is

impressedwith the 

standard of entries.’’ 

While most of the 

prizewinners came from 

south of the Waimakariri 

River,Broomfield School’s 

Gus McLachlan, aged13, 

won champion pig with his 

pet, Pigasso. 

Chris stays as co-president 

Chris Herbert plans to show 

cattle with his sons for a 

change at next year's New 

Zealand Agricultural Show. 

The North Canterbury 

farmer has stayed on as 

Canterbury A&P Association 

copresident to support the 

association through a 

challenging 2020 after 

presiding over last year’s 

show and serving nearly 20 

years on the cattle 

committee. 

This year’s show was 

cancelled because of Covid 

19. 

Mr Herbert has agreed to 

stay as copresident to 

support incoming president 

Chris Harris. 

Over the last few years, Mr 

Herbert’s sons Louie, aged 

17, and Charlie, 15, have 

taken charge of the family’s 

blonde d’Aquitaine stud 

cattle at showtime while dad 

was busy with show duties. 

“I’m looking forward to 

just helping the boys with 

our cattle because the whole 

time the boys have been 

showing, I’ve been on the 

cattle committee and I 

haven’t been able to do it. 

“But Idon’t think you ever 

really step aside; you just 

move to one side. It’s a 

lifetime commitment,” he 

said, emphasising he would 

continue to be involved in 

some capacity. 

The Herberts have taken a 

year off showing while they 

complete an embryo 

programme through the 

herd, which is based at 

Omihi, north of Waipara. 

But the blonde 

d’Aquitaine cattle from the 

family farm will be back at 

the show next year, he said.

Dairy women are encouraged to 

nominate their role models in the 

industry before February for the 10th 

anniversary of the award.

who haven’t had the onfarm experience 

of previous recipients, but can 

show commitment to the industry 

through other avenues. 

‘‘One of our core values as an 

organisation is about seizing 

opportunities, and this year’s recipient, 

AshLeigh Campbell, demonstrates this 

in both her work and her attitude. 

‘‘We hope that her success will 

encourage other young women in the 

industry to nominate their peers, and 

remember that there is no age limit.’’

Weedons battle to win over Southbrook 

Teams ravaged by their stars being away 

on representative duty meant others had 

to perform in the latest round of country 

cricket at the weekend. 

Weedons got back on track with ahardfought 

win over Southbrook, while there 

were also victories for Cheviot, Sefton 

and Darfield in the CRV Ambreed 

Country Premier One Day 2020/21 

competition on Saturday. 

Arriving at ablustery Southbrook 

Park, Weedons won the toss and decided 

to bowl on atricky wicket. 

The home side struggled to gain much 

momentum throughout its first innings, 

getting contributions from batsmen 

throughout the order, but noone kicked 

on for abig score. 

They were bowled out in the 44th over 

for 138, with Sam Clarke returning the 

fine figures of 4/20 off his maximum nine 

overs. 

At the change of innings, Southbrook 

felt about 20 runs short and, after asolid 

start by Weedons openers Todd Inness 

(41 runs off 52 balls) and Jayden 

McIntyre (17 off 75), appeared in 

desperate trouble. 

But when Weedons lost four wickets in 

aquick cluster, Southbrook sniffed an 

outside chance of victory. The side kept 

chipping away and got anervous 

Weedons six down before afew lusty 

blows from Arnav Deb sealed the fourwicket 

win for the visitors. 

Dillon’s fivewicketbag 

At Lincoln Domain, the visiting 

Cheviot Magpies racked up 214/8 in its 

allotted 45 overs. 

Jack Hyde (46 off 67) and Ryan Ellis (55 

off 87) set the strong foundations before 

Scott Burnett whacked 42 off 27 balls to 

round off the innings. 

But it was 15yearold schoolboy 

Ronan Dillon, making his senior debut, 

who stole the day by taking afivewicket 

bag. 

Lincoln’s run chase was built around a 

century opening partnership between 

Hugh Paterson (80 off 108) and Cameron 

Powell (31 off 61). 

With the run rate climbing, keeperbatsman 

Liam Robinson made alate 

charge but it ultimately wasn’t enough, 

and Cheviot secured avaluable 14run 

win. 

Seftongrinds out win 

Sefton ground out atough 13run win 

over North Canterbury rivals Oxford 

Rangiora at Pearson Park on the back of 

quality batting by club stalwarts Tim 

Harrison and Nigel Granger. 

Batting in the unaccustomed position 

of No. 4, Harrison anchored the Sefton 

Seals’ innings of 207/7, making an unbeaten 

85, and combining with Granger 

in a125run sixth wicket partnership. 

Chasing 208 to win, OxfordRangiora 

fell 13 runs short, despite 67 from allrounder 

Lachie Stove. The Sefton 

bowlers combined well to dry up the 

runs and eke out the victory. 

Darfield victorious 

Adepleted LeestonSouthbridge, 

ravaged by players away on 

representative duties, was thumped by a 

ruthless Darfield. 

Inserted at Leeston Park, Liam 

Foulkes destroyed the makeshift 

LeestonSouthbridge batting order, 

claiming the remarkable figures of 6/14 

off nine overs. 

Chasing just 104 to win, Darfield 

completed the rout, knocking off the 

total inside 16 overs. 

Ohoka had the bye.

the course over three hours, 

with atag system after each lap 

to ensure the workload was 

shared.

Dean delivers road safety message 

Asafe road journey begins with 

good communication. 

Hurunui road safety coordinator 

Dean Eades is 

dedicating time to interacting 

with those who use the roads in 

the district. 

Dean, who has recently taken 

up the role, is working with the 

police, New Zealand Transport 

Agency, the Road Transport 

Association, ACC, neighbouring 

councils, and community 

groups. 

‘‘It’s about working together to 

continually create safer roading 

environments throughout our 

district,’’ he says. 

Acommunityled road safety 

project, 1600K: Getting There 

Together, is one of the focuses of 

Dean’s work. 

Part of this project is the 

interactive map that the council 

uses as atool to stay familiar 

with community experiences on 

the networks. 

Snap Send Solve is another 

interactive connection between 

the council and the community 

which Dean is reminding people 

about. 

Residents can either 

download the Snap Send Solve 

app on to their smartphone or 

use the web page in their 

browser to capture and report 

issues with roads or roading 

infrastructure. 

‘‘If you see aproblem, you 

snap it and then send it off to 

council. We solve it, and get 

back to you with an update. He 

urges people to use it as much as 

possible to report potholes, 

wilding pines, road damage, 

Safety first ... Dean Eades is the new road safety coordinator in the Hurunui district. 

damaged bridge ends, or 

anything else. 

‘‘We love to hear about them, 

so we can fix them and make our 

roads as safe as possible.’’ 

Dean says the key to safer 

roads is communication and it 

works both ways —the council 

and its agencies providing 

messages, improvements and 

support, and the community 

providing feedback and local 

knowledge. 

‘‘I’m looking forward to the 

opportunity to see that what we 

do as council, in cooperation 

with our agencies, to ultimately 

create areally positive outcome 

on both our State Highways and 

our regional roads, where 

everyone can share it safely and 

happily.’’ 

Dean has afew tips for 

ensuring asafe and happy 

upcoming summer holiday 

season: 

Give yourself plenty of time 

for unexpected delays; 

NEWS 



Remember that the roads will 

be busy, so allow extra time; 

Stick to the speed limit, and 

remember simple road rules 

such as safe cornering, 

indicating, and using your 

headlights; 

For those who will be towing, 

make sure the trailer or caravan 

is hooked up properly and any 

load is safe. Stick to the speed 

limit, and pull over where 

possible; 

Take breaks on long journeys.

What’s happening in your 

community… 

Safety First for Community 

The Woodend-Seon Community Board 

recommended extending the Rangiora Woodend 

Path along School Road to the State Highway at 

their last meeting. 

This plan uses the existing road to accommodate 

the path and moves the traffic lanes slightly east. 

It provides the opportunity for plantings, separated 

with on-street parking bays, and kerbing that 

acts as abuffer between people on the path and 

vehicles. 

Shona Powell, Board Chair says, 

“This is another step in connecting paths to make 

it safer for pedestrians and cyclists to move 

between our communities. This will work well with 

the new signalised pedestrian crossing outside the 

school is in place, early next year." 

Makeover for Millton Memorial Park 

At the recent Rangiora Ashley Community Board 

meeting it was agreed to ask the public to share 

their feedback on the development of Millton 

Memorial Park. 

Adra plan was presented, which includes an 

arboretum (an area devoted to specimen plantings 

of trees and shrubs), and expansion ofthe dog 

park with an agility area. 

Aspace has also been identified for the North 

Canterbury Model Railway Club to construct anew 

building to house their displays. Apublic toilet 

is included in plans, and is budgeted within the 

Council’s Long Term Plan for year 2024/25. 

“We’re looking forward to sharing the dra Plan 

with the community and encourage residents to 

tell us what they think and give ustheir ideas and 

feedback to help form the final master plan for the 

reserve.” says Board Chair Jim Gerard. 

New Greenspace Projects for Kaiapoi- 

Tuahiwi 

The Kaiapoi-Tuahiwi Community Board approved 

arange of new Greenspace projects at their 

November meeting, including $25,000 to develop 

Tuahiwi Reserve. 

The funding will allow the community to undertake 

adecent size project within the reserve, and the 

Council will now talk with locals, Tuahiwi School 

and Ngāi Tūāhuriri about what they’d like to see 

happen. 

“This will be acommunity driven project” said 

Deputy Board Chair Jackie Watson. “Its success will 

depend on ideas coming from local residents.” 

Ideas already proposed include Pa Harakeke 

(an area of flax for weaving) and additional 

landscaping around the children’s play area at the 

front of the reserve. 

Getting Ready for Summer 

As the weather starts towarm up hopefully, you 

might be thinking about visiting your favourite 

swimming spots across the District. 

It’s good to know that our favourite rivers, 

streams and beaches are regularly monitored 

by Environment Canterbury. They have agreat 

website that is updated regularly through summer 

letting you know where is good to swim and which 

areas to avoid. 

As well as water quality information this site also 

lets you know about changing conditions and any 

health warnings the Medical Officer of Health 

issues over summer. You can check out where it is

It is owned by landscape contracting business

‘‘We thought it was too soon to show the garden,’’ 

Sallysaid. 

However, they werepersuaded to open the garden
