Paper moves to new office<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s best­read newspaper<br />

marked amilestone on Tuesday.<br />

The <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong><strong>News</strong> has<br />

consolidated its Rangiora and Amberley<br />

offices underone roof, in anew buildingat<br />

14 Ashley Street, Rangiora, beside the<br />

mainoffice of Luisetti Seeds.<br />

The paperwillcontinue to provide<br />

extensivecoverage of theregion,from the<br />

Waimakariri River to Kekerengu,north of<br />

Kaikoura.<br />

It will be more efficient withits nine<br />

staff workingfrom one location.<br />

They will maintain stronglinks withthe<br />

Waimakariri,Hurunui and Kaikoura<br />

districts, continuing to travel throughout<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> grewout of<br />

the merger of the Hurunui<strong>News</strong> and the<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>,both bought by<br />

AlliedPress in 2006 and 2013 respectively.<br />

It was astrategic movetogive readers<br />

and advertisers increased reach in a<br />

strongweekly publication.<br />

AlliedPress, whichowns the Otago Daily<br />

Times,has astable of community papers.<br />

The Hurunui<strong>News</strong> began lifeasthe<br />

Hurunui District<strong>News</strong> in 1991.<br />

BarryCropp, a22­year­old from<br />

Amberley,felt that thetime had come for<br />

the Hurunui districttohave its own<br />

newspaper. The first copy said it was<br />

published to keepreaders informed of<br />

localhappenings.<br />

Initially, the paper was delivered<br />

fortnightly from Leithfieldthroughto<br />

Cheviot,including Amberley, Waipara,<br />

Hawarden,Waikari,Culverden,Waiau,<br />

Rotherham and HanmerSprings.<br />

Its original officewas in Pound Street,<br />

Amberley, behind the Post Office. It was<br />

printed by the Westport <strong>News</strong> and laterby<br />

GuardianPrintinAshburton.<br />

Barry sold the paper to Johnand Lynne<br />

Winsloe in 1993,with issue No.48the first<br />

under the new owners.<br />

Johnhad previously been the<br />

postmasteratAmberleybut had a<br />

newspaper background.<br />

Theyintroduced anew masthead in<br />

1994, removing districtfrom the title and<br />

delivering intothe Waimakariri,aswellas<br />

covering the wholeofthe Hurunui.<br />

Viewing places were at a<br />

premium for Kaiapoi’s<br />

Santa Parade last Saturday.<br />

Alarge crowd, five and six<br />

deep in places, began<br />

packing into Williams Street<br />

an hour before the popular<br />

annual event.<br />

The parade featured an<br />

eclectic mix of floats,<br />

including decorated trucks,<br />

traction engines, fire trucks<br />

and three­wheeled<br />

motorbikes, plus popular<br />

film characters from Star<br />

Wars, Frozen,and the everpopular<br />

Minions.<br />

Alongside the floats were<br />

talented street performers.<br />

But the biggest cheer came<br />

at the end of the parade for<br />

Santa, atop his sleigh with<br />

his elves at his side.<br />

Zealand’slargest privately<br />

ownedand operated hotel<br />

groups, is buying Hanmer<br />

Springs’ heritage hotel. It will<br />

re­open on <strong>December</strong> 21.<br />

The complex, formerly the<br />

Hanmer Springs Heritage<br />

Hotel, is in the heart of the<br />

villageand will be called the<br />

Hanmer Springs Hotel.<br />

It will be fully refurbished<br />

next year to transform it into a<br />

branded hotel.<br />

CPG Hotels Group<br />

operations director Ronnie<br />

Ronalde says the company is<br />

delightedtobring backabout<br />

40 jobs to the village.<br />

Paper consolidates into one office in Rangiora<br />

From Page 1<br />

At the start of 1998 the Winsloes sold<br />

the Hurunui <strong>News</strong> to Bevan and Rosalie<br />

Archer, with their first edition being<br />

March 2, 1998. Bevan had been made<br />

“This recent acquisition<br />

means we are abletobreathe<br />

new lifeintothe property.<br />

Hanmer Springs is abeautiful<br />

location surrounded by<br />

mountains, and with its famous<br />

thermal hot springs,mountain<br />

biking and hiking.<br />

‘‘Weare excited to be adding<br />

to the destination’s appealfor<br />

bothlocal, and eventually<br />

international, visitors.<br />

“We haveafantastic chef<br />

coming on boardwho will work<br />

withour CPG Hotels Group<br />

executivechef Jinu Abraham<br />

to offeralocally sourcedmenu<br />

—hearty foodwithJinu’sown<br />

unique twist.”<br />

Fable, aboutiquebrand, was<br />

unveiled by CPG Hotels in July.<br />

It represents amove away from<br />

large­scale establishments,<br />

offeringall guests “full­service<br />

luxury” and tailor­made,<br />

personalised experiences.<br />

The salestartsanew chapter<br />

for the hotel,which was built in<br />

1879 as an 18­room wooden<br />

lodge.<br />

Since then, it was used as a<br />

hospital duringWorld War 1.<br />

It has seen the addition of a<br />

Spanish­style concrete<br />

building and thebell towerin<br />

1932.<br />

In 1958,the original lodge<br />

was damaged by fire.<br />

“The current owners are<br />

delighted to be selling this<br />

iconichoteltoCPGroup as<br />

they knowour plansare to<br />

reopenand start restoringand<br />

refurbishingthe hotel to a<br />

redundant from Air New Zealand the<br />

previous year. The couple ran it until<br />

Allied Press bought it in 2006, followed<br />

by the Rangiora­based <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> seven years later.<br />

The merger resulted in the paper,<br />

5­star luxury level under our<br />

new Fable brand,”MrRonalde<br />

says.<br />

Across ninehectares,there<br />

are 54 rooms,16ofwhich are<br />

garden villas.<br />

The hotel has been closed to<br />

guests since Marchand its<br />

JLL Hotels agent Nick<br />

Thompson, who managedthe<br />

sale, says he is pleased to have<br />

helped keepthe assetinNew<br />

Council urged to take tough stance on vaping<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The CancerSociety wants the<br />

Waimakariri District Counciltoget<br />

toughonvaping.<br />

Apresentation from thesociety to last<br />

week’s council meeting praisedlocal<br />

efforts toward makingthe district<br />

smokefree.<br />

But it wantscouncillors to update its<br />

policies to discourage vaping.<br />

Cancer Society healthpromotion<br />

manager MartinWitt saidwhile it was<br />

generallyaccepted that vaping was less<br />

harmful than smoking, it was not<br />

considered asafe product.<br />

‘‘Both the Cancer Societyand the<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> District HealthBoard are<br />

continuing to be cautious aboutvaping.’’<br />

Vaping should be usedonly by smokers<br />

as ameans to quit smoking and should<br />

not be used by non­smokersoryoung<br />

people, Mr Witt said.<br />

‘‘Vaping has awholecocktailof<br />

different chemicals and while it appears<br />

to be less harmful thansmoking, it hasn’t<br />

been around for long enough to<br />

understand thelong­term effects.<br />

‘‘But there is sufficient evidence to<br />

cause doubt.’’<br />

Waimakariri has the second­lowest<br />

rate of smokers in the South Island,with<br />

around11percentofresidents lighting<br />

up, comparedtothe national rate of 13%.<br />

Mayor Dan Gordon asked for council<br />

staff to prepare areport for councillors<br />

to consider revising thecouncil’s<br />

smokefree policy.<br />

Councillors backed acall from Ngai<br />

Tuahuririrunanga residentstolowerthe<br />

speed limit through the Tuahiwi village<br />

to 40kmh.<br />

Tuahiwi resident DeirdreCarrol told<br />

councillors of her concernsfor the safety<br />

of local schoolchildren caused by<br />

speeding motorists.<br />

She calledonthe council to install<br />

paths and cycleways,and improvevillage<br />

lighting.<br />

Mr Gordon askedcouncil staff to<br />

report back to councillorsonproposals<br />

for paths, cycleways and lighting in<br />

fortnightly to weekly.<br />

Welcome home, Susan and Ben<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

AKaiapoi mother and son were pleased<br />

to move into anew, warm home on<br />

Friday.<br />

Susan Bush and her son Ben Stade,<br />

aged 18, were handed the keys by<br />

Housing Minister Megan Woods to their<br />

two­bedroom unit, one of five new units<br />

built by Kainga Ora (formerly Housing<br />

New Zealand) in Williams Street.<br />

‘‘We looked at it last week and it was<br />

amazing. I’m very excited,’’ Susan said<br />

ahead of the minister’s arrival.<br />

For the last 20 years, Susan has been<br />

living in anearby Housing New Zealand<br />

home which was damaged in the<br />

earthquakes. It was overdue for an<br />

upgrade.<br />

The old house was cold and damp,<br />

which affected Ben’s asthma, she said.<br />

Ben said it was ‘‘awesome’’ to have the<br />

minister come to open their new home.<br />

‘‘But Ithink my mates will give me a<br />

hard time about it next week.’’<br />

Kainga Ora area manager Fraser<br />

Benson said the five one and twobedrooms<br />

were built on asite previously<br />

occupied by athree­bedroom house.<br />

‘‘Traditionally, these (Housing New<br />

Zealand homes) were three bedrooms<br />

and abig yard. This was a1948 property.<br />

‘‘We are finding there is no longer the<br />

demand for three­bedroom homes. In<br />

Christchurch and Waimakariri, around<br />

60 percent are looking for aonebedroom<br />

unit and 20% require two<br />

bedrooms.’’<br />

Most clients are single people or<br />

couples, often elderly, though there are<br />

several families seeking two­bedroom<br />

units.<br />

‘‘There’s astill amajor shortage in<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>. We’re building around 200<br />

to 250 new units ayear and there’s 185<br />

under construction at the moment.’’<br />

Afurther 15 one and two­bedroom<br />

units were being built in Kaiapoi and<br />

are scheduled to open in April.<br />

Dr Woods said about 30 local<br />

tradespeople were employed during<br />

construction of the new units on<br />

Williams Street.<br />

Awesome occasion ... Housing Minister Megan Woods, left, hands over the keys to<br />

Susan Bush and her son, 18­year­old Ben Stade, at their new home in the newly completed<br />

Kainga Ora housing units on Williams Street, Kaiapoi.<br />

‘‘The government has committed to<br />

funding new builds not just because we<br />

need new houses, but because it creates<br />

jobs and keeps local tradies in work.’’<br />

It also provides certainty for local<br />

builders who are able to take on<br />

apprentices, with support from the<br />

government’s apprenticeship support<br />

programme.<br />

More than <strong>10</strong>0 new apprentices have<br />

been taken on to work on Kainga Ora<br />

builds in the Auckland and Greater<br />

Christchurch areas, and ‘‘it’s just<br />

starting to take off here’’, Dr Woods said.<br />

Why do planners upset farmers?<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Intergenerational farmers are rural<br />

survivors, but they do not haveabig voice<br />

in environmentalmanagement,<br />

according to Lynda Murchison.<br />

They farm in accordancewith what<br />

theirgrandfathers did. Theydon’t<br />

embrace much of the new technology<br />

available to farmers, but theirland is in<br />

good heart, she says.<br />

‘‘They must be doingsomething right.’’<br />

Ms Murchison has been awardedaPhD<br />

for her thesisthat explores the conflicts<br />

between long­time farmers and<br />

environmentalplanning processes.<br />

It has been recommended for<br />

publication in eight journals.<br />

She says if everyplanner, government<br />

minister and scientist stopped to listen to<br />

farmers, ‘‘wewould not havehalf the<br />

environmentalissues we have’’.<br />

‘‘These peopleknow how to farm and<br />

they care about the impact of farming on<br />

the land. Theyhave adjusted and evolved<br />

theirfarming practicestotake careofthe<br />

land.<br />

‘‘It is such apiece of goldsitting there,<br />

beingignored.’’<br />

She said she did not start out to to write<br />

aplanning thesis.‘‘It started as astory<br />

about farmers and how they knew their<br />

land. But it ended up aplanning thesis<br />

because Ihad been aplanner for 25<br />

years.’’<br />

Ms Murchison farms in partnership<br />

withher husband, JockMurchison, in the<br />

WekaPass in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>. She has<br />

worked in resource management for<br />

around 25 yearsin<strong>Canterbury</strong>, in roles<br />

withdistrictand regional councils,<br />

including the Selwyn council and<br />

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

Morerecently, she has worked with the<br />

iwi authority,TeRunanga ONgai Tahu.<br />

She runs an environmental planning<br />

consultancy business and lectures parttime<br />

in resource and environmental<br />

management at the University of<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>. She is aHurunuidistrict<br />

councillor and the immediate past<br />

presidentof<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Federated Farmers.<br />

Ms Murchison said she couldnever<br />

understandwhy farmersgot so uptight<br />

about some of the work planners did.<br />

‘‘I wanted to try to find out what it was<br />

we do as planners that grinds their gears<br />

so much and why theyneverlistened,’’<br />

she says.<br />

She also wantedtounderstand why<br />

planners continued mapping wetlands<br />

and SignificantNatural Areas across<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> when farmershad shown<br />

theywere preparedtovoluntarily<br />

establish covenants on theirfarms<br />

throughthe QEII Trust to protect areas.<br />

Ms Murchison talked to 52 farming<br />

families in <strong>Canterbury</strong> and read the<br />

farming life stories of another 30 for her<br />

thesis.<br />

Farmers talked about the conflict over<br />

Lynda Murchison ... ‘‘I wanted to try to find out what it was we do as planners that grinds<br />

their gears so much and why they never listened.’’<br />

planning processessuch as mapping of<br />

Significant Natural Areas, and the<br />

freshwater debate.<br />

‘‘We look to sciencetofind solutions<br />

sometimes for problems,and ignore the<br />

knowledge of people who have livedwith<br />

the land for generations.’’<br />

Ms Murchison believes like­minded<br />

people,such as those wanting to protect<br />

the land and waterways, including<br />

planners and farmers, shouldwork<br />

together to protect the land,its<br />

biodiversity, and freshwater.<br />

She is supporting this approach in the<br />

Hurunuidistrict, where environmental<br />

issues are ‘‘quitemanageable’’.<br />

‘‘We haveahuge number of family<br />

farms in the Hurunui, and long­time<br />

2339217<br />

residents who have invested in the<br />

district. We can run apilot in the<br />

Hurunui by putting like­minded people<br />

together and draw up arecipe for how we<br />

mightdothingsdifferently, with afocus<br />

on success on the ground, rather than the<br />

rightwords on awee bit of paper,’’she<br />

says.<br />

Too often, people who were locked in a<br />

process complicated that process, and<br />

sometimes planners madealot of<br />

assumptions, someofwhich were not<br />

valid.<br />

Her thesis is titled, Conflict Between<br />

Intergenerational FamilyFarmers and<br />

Environmental Planning Processes: An<br />

‘‘Economic versus Environment’’<br />

Around the electorate with<br />

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA<br />

Climate policies must<br />

be workable, effective<br />

The Government has finally gone and<br />

declared a‘‘climate emergency’’.<br />

For aGovernment that has delivered<br />

little over the past three years, this will<br />

almost certainly be another example of<br />

virtue signalling. Symbolic gestures,<br />

however, won’t cut it when it comes to<br />

climate change.<br />

They have since asserted that this<br />

declaration will be more than virtue<br />

signalling.<br />

This leads me to ask the question: If<br />

we are in fact in aclimate emergency,<br />

why did Jacinda Ardern mention the<br />

word ‘‘climate’’only six times in her<br />

4500+ word Speech from the Throne?<br />

And, secondly, why did the<br />

Government bid to declare aclimate<br />

emergency get pushed back aday so it<br />

could prioritise passing tax legislation?<br />

Declaring aclimate emergency<br />

implies that climate change is their top<br />

priority, but clearly it isn’t.<br />

It is also reasonable for agovernment<br />

to release an effective plan to reduce<br />

emissions in apractical, sensible way.<br />

National will support any government<br />

policy that does just this. Only effective<br />

policies can help keep temperature<br />

increases to 1.5 degrees, as required by<br />

the Paris Agreement, and deliver net<br />

zero emissions by 2050.<br />

Threats to local governance lie ahead, councillor says<br />

The Editor,<br />

Well, what ayear <strong>2020</strong> has<br />

been. We never imagined a<br />

pandemic and the changes to<br />

our lives it would bring.<br />

The council continued to<br />

provide essential services and<br />

we all became familiar with<br />

Zoom meetings.<br />

The highlights of <strong>2020</strong> for me<br />

include the AA rating awarded<br />

to the council by the Local<br />

Government Excellence<br />

programme.<br />

The Waimakariri District<br />

Council is one of two councils<br />

to achieve this rating and the<br />

only one to have achieved it<br />

twice. This is areflection of<br />

We simply cannot afford to sink<br />

investments into ineffective policies.<br />

New Zealand will run out of money long<br />

before we reach our targets if we commit<br />

to policies that don’t work. Our policies<br />

must lower emissions, or be dropped.<br />

It is therefore questionable why the<br />

Government has now released its<br />

Carbon Neutral Government<br />

Programme.<br />

Asimilar programme was introduced<br />

by Helen Clark in 2007, which the next<br />

National Government had to scrap<br />

because it simply wasn’t realistic to<br />

achieve the goals she had set.<br />

It was underfunded and would have<br />

been far too costly to run.<br />

Iwill most certainly now be holding<br />

the Government to account as National’s<br />

spokesperson for Climate Change to<br />

ensure that its new programme has been<br />

tested, will continue to be tested, and<br />

drives down emissions effectively and<br />

cheaply.<br />

The task before us is monumental. Net<br />

zero emissions in 30 years is hugely<br />

ambitious, especially for acountry that<br />

earns half of its export income from the<br />

primary sector.<br />

But National believes the goal is<br />

achievable if we are prepared to think<br />

openly and seriously about the problem.<br />

LETTER TO THE EDITOR<br />

good governance and<br />

dedicated staff.<br />

Secondly, the council<br />

retained its Standard and<br />

Poors AA rating in a<br />

challenging climate. This<br />

greatly reduces the cost of<br />

council borrowing, which<br />

ultimately benefits ratepayers.<br />

However, there are threats<br />

on the horizon.<br />

Central government, in my<br />

view, is looking to take ‘‘local’’<br />

out of local government. Two<br />

examples are the Three Waters<br />

Reforms where the council<br />

would lose control of this core<br />

service to anew corporate<br />

entity with no elected<br />

representatives or<br />

accountability to ratepayers<br />

(and the compulsory<br />

chlorination of drinking water<br />

by July 1, 2021), and alikely<br />

increase in costs.<br />

The second example is<br />

overriding our District Plan by<br />

removing parking<br />

requirements.<br />

To compensate, any new<br />

public parking will be paid by<br />

ratepayers, not developers.<br />

The logic seems to be that by<br />

creating congestion, other<br />

modes of transport will be<br />

utilised.<br />

Idon’t think this model suits<br />

our scattered rural district<br />

with limited public transport.<br />

These and other changes will<br />

have aprofound effect on local<br />

government viability, the<br />

services provided, and<br />

accountability.<br />

In 2021 the council will<br />

consult on its Long Term Plan.<br />

There will be aneed to balance<br />

growth demands with<br />

affordable rates.<br />

Last year’s increase was<br />

reduced to 1.5 percent, but that<br />

Atime to be grateful<br />

With Christmas and the festive season<br />

fast approaching, Iwant to<br />

acknowledge and reflect on the year.<br />

Christmas provides us with the time<br />

to be mindful and appreciate those<br />

people around us who offer guidance<br />

and support.<br />

Iwant to begin with the team of<br />

Hurunui district councillors.<br />

As adistrict we have arange of<br />

capable and competent decisionmakers<br />

who have contributed through<br />

their various roles within the council.<br />

They are committed and devoted to<br />

our district and Iappreciate the time<br />

they take to prepare and promote good<br />

outcomes.<br />

Iamalso grateful for all the staff who<br />

work and serve our community through<br />

their employment with the council.<br />

It is important that we acknowledge<br />

and value their contribution.<br />

This has been ayear of challenge.<br />

The uncertainty has largely been<br />

contained but Iammindful that it has<br />

created an enormous amount of stress.<br />

Thankfully, we have the ability to<br />

travel within our country, but this may<br />

not allow some families to be together<br />

over Christmas.<br />

Itrust you are able use alternative<br />

ways to connect with loved ones over<br />

this period, and that we all care for<br />

members of our district who may be<br />

more vulnerable through this time.<br />

Thank you to St John and Fire and<br />

Emergency service volunteers, who<br />

will be providing cover for our district<br />

over the holidays.<br />

Iappreciate your willingness to give<br />

yourself and bring your experience,<br />

skills and compassion, while asking for<br />

nothing in return other than the<br />

satisfaction of doing what’s right and<br />

good for our community.<br />

Iwould also like to acknowledge the<br />

police within the district. Their<br />

presence and devotion to keeping the<br />

community safe is respected and<br />

appreciated.<br />

Toot for Tucker was aresounding<br />

success in Amberley last week, thanks<br />

to many community volunteers.<br />

Iunderstand that all the food banks<br />

were grateful for the generosity shown.<br />

Thank you for helping to make<br />

Christmas atime for all to share.<br />

Christmas for me means family and<br />

togetherness.<br />

Iamlooking forward to spending<br />

time with family and enjoying the<br />

opportunity to be with grandchildren,<br />

sharing their joys.<br />

Dave and Iwish you all avery happy<br />

Christmas. We hope it brings you peace<br />

and laughter, and we all look forward to<br />

2021 with the promise for abetter<br />

tomorrow.<br />

level is not sustainable.<br />

On top of this we also have<br />

the District Plan review, which<br />

occurs every <strong>10</strong> years.<br />

Do not hesitate to contact me<br />

or your local community board<br />

if assistance is required with<br />

any matter.<br />

We are here to help.<br />

Finally, Iwould like to wish<br />

your readers aMerry<br />

Christmas, aHappy New Year<br />

and safe travels over the<br />

holidays.<br />

Salvation Army officer<br />

Gordon Daly,who has been<br />

‘‘It’s been abit of a<br />

muddly year, as it has been<br />

for mostpeople.The food<br />

bank was busy during<br />

lockdown and it’s been<br />

pretty steady since.<br />

‘‘We haven’t beenrun off<br />

our feet,but there’s stillan<br />

ongoingneed. Iwould say,<br />

overall,the demand has<br />

been about the same as last<br />

year,except for during<br />

lockdown when it was<br />

really tough for alot of<br />

people.’’<br />

Each year, more than 300<br />

families receive at least<br />

one food parcel from the<br />

Race marks opening of bike trails<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

New world class mountainbiking<br />

trails opened in<br />

Hanmer Springs at the<br />

weekend, after five years in<br />

the making.<br />

The new trails, in the<br />

Hanmer Forest Park, add to a<br />

network that caters to all ages<br />

and abilities.<br />

The new trails include the<br />

4km Tombstone trail, an<br />

advanced single­track that<br />

provides 185m of climbing to<br />

its highest point at 698m,<br />

followed by an exciting 240m<br />

descent with multiple twists,<br />

turns and drops.<br />

The lead track builder of<br />

the Tombstone trail, Steve<br />

Pearson, said it took five<br />

years to build atrail he<br />

described as truly special.<br />

‘‘The terrain is as good as it<br />

gets for mountain bike trails.<br />

It really is world class and<br />

compares to anything you’ll<br />

find in Europe or <strong>North</strong><br />

America.<br />

‘‘Tombstone also has some<br />

of the best views around,<br />

making it not just aride but a<br />

spectacular experience.’’<br />

The lead builder of the<br />

Southern Cross trail, Mark<br />

Inglis, says the trails will help<br />

attract avid mountain bikers<br />

to the alpine village.<br />

‘‘These new trails put on us<br />

on the national mountainbiking<br />

map. Where else can<br />

you be having acoffee and<br />

then afew pedal strokes later<br />

be on some of the best<br />

mountain bike trails?’’<br />

The trails were constructed<br />

mostly by hand, with<br />

volunteers completing 90<br />

percent of the work,<br />

including members of the<br />

Track Network Group and the<br />

Hanmer Springs Mountain<br />

Bike Club.<br />

‘‘Without the support of our<br />

local community, we wouldn’t<br />

have been able to create<br />

something to this scale,’’ Mr<br />

Inglis says.<br />

‘‘It’s atrue testament of<br />

teamwork and community<br />

spirit.’’<br />

The trails were officially<br />

opened at the inaugural<br />

Tombstone Mountain Bike<br />

Race last Sunday by two­time<br />

mountain bike world<br />

champion Anton Cooper.<br />

He says it is an exciting<br />

prospect having the new<br />

trails open in his own <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> backyard.<br />

‘‘New Zealand has some of<br />

the best trails in the world<br />

and all reports are saying<br />

these new trails are up there.<br />

They’re technical and<br />

exciting.<br />

‘‘The trails are really just<br />

the icing on the cake.<br />

Mountain biking is taking off<br />

around the world and, amidst<br />

apandemic, it’s awesome to<br />

see what the team in Hanmer<br />

has been able to do.’’<br />

He set the riders off in the<br />

race, which consisted of three<br />

different courses, with two<br />

incorporating the new<br />

advanced Tombstone track.<br />

The third was ashorter and<br />

less technical ride for bikers<br />

the Kowai Archives Society.<br />

It is listedasaCategory 2historic site<br />

underthe Historic Places Act and is<br />

identified as aheritage building in the<br />

Hurunui District Plan.<br />

The building in upper Sefton was<br />

badlydamaged in the 20<strong>10</strong> and 2011<br />

earthquakes. It has been strengthened<br />

and renovated with insurance fundsand<br />

aportionofaLottery environment and<br />

heritage grant received by the Hurunui<br />

District Council for earthquake repairs.<br />

The total project included repairs to<br />

all exterior and interiorplaster, anda<br />

new roof.Amajoreffort has ensured the<br />

ornate plaster ceiling remains afeature<br />

of the main room.<br />

Steelwork and bracing was fitted to<br />

the ceiling, bringing the building up to 34<br />

percent of the New Building Standard.<br />

Hurunui district councillor Michael<br />

Ward says restoration of the building will<br />

benefit the community. ‘‘Yet it still<br />

maintains its original charm,’’hesays.<br />

The planned work was on budget, with<br />

works delayed because ofCovid­19.<br />

The Kowai Archive Society was<br />

established in 1990 by members of the<br />

Sefton­KowaiCountryWomen’s<br />

Institute, to collect andpreserve<br />

Powerful ... Acelebratory morning tea was held by MainPower at its head office in Fernside last week for<br />

recipients of the electricity company’s Community Fund.<br />

PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Funding recipients gather<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

This year’s MainPower<br />

Community Fund recipients<br />

have been treated to morning tea<br />

by the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

community­owned lines<br />

company.<br />

The morning tea was held at<br />

the company’s head office in<br />

Fernside last week.<br />

All 67 groups that received a<br />

donation from the fund during<br />

the year were invited.<br />

MainPower chief executive<br />

Andy Lester said the company<br />

could not hold acelebratory<br />

event in April for recipients from<br />

the first funding round because<br />

of Covid­19.<br />

‘‘What ayear it has been,’’ he<br />

said.<br />

‘‘We play an essential role in<br />

keeping the region ticking, by<br />

providing asafe, secure supply of<br />

electricity to all our homes,<br />

schools and businesses.<br />

‘‘But we believe our<br />

responsibility extends beyond<br />

providing this, to being positive,<br />

contributing members of all the<br />

communities of <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>, and part of what we<br />

do in this area is to provide<br />

funding support to arange of<br />

initiatives, events and projects in<br />

the region.’’<br />

The community fund was<br />

established in 2015 and has<br />

grown from one annual<br />

funding round with $<strong>10</strong>,000<br />

available to two funding rounds<br />

this year, with atotal of $60,000<br />

available.<br />

‘‘In total we have supported<br />

around 150 groups and schools,<br />

which translates to alot of<br />

positives for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>,’’<br />

Mr Lester said.<br />

All of the fund recipients are<br />

decided by votes cast by <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> people.<br />

‘‘The great thing about the<br />

community fund for us is that it<br />

gives our community achance to<br />

have their say about where a<br />

good portion of our sponsorship<br />

funding is directed.<br />

‘‘Here today we have groups<br />

aimed at benefiting the region’s<br />

youth, supporting our natural<br />

environment and looking out for<br />

our community’s most<br />

vulnerable.<br />

‘‘On behalf of MainPower, I’d<br />

like to congratulate you all and<br />

acknowledge the efforts behind<br />

the work you do and the impact it<br />

has.’’<br />

Fenced off ... Kaikoura’s Wakatu Quay will be open for the summer, but some parts will<br />

remain off limits as work continues on the site.<br />

* #<br />

Quay to be reborn<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The publicwill get achance to visualise<br />

the potential of Kaikoura’s Wakatu Quay<br />

when the areaopens on Friday,<br />

<strong>December</strong> 11.<br />

The site willbeopen to the publicfor the<br />

firsttime since the demolition and<br />

removal of three derelict buildings.<br />

The demolition of the buildings is partof<br />

the $<strong>10</strong>.98 millionKaikoura Marine<br />

government’s Provincial Growth Fund.<br />

The site has beencleared to ground<br />

leveland the design conceptphaseis<br />

readytobegin.<br />

The project team willbeseeking ideas<br />

from the communityearlynext year for<br />

what could be built on the site. Feedback<br />

can be made via the Kaikoura District<br />

Council’s website and Facebook pages,<br />

project leader Chris Sturgeon says.<br />

Two areas still requireremedial work<br />

and will be fencedoff, withwork to be<br />

completedinthe New Year.<br />

Sturgeon says. ‘‘It’ssuch aspecial area<br />

with alot of cultural historyand aunique<br />

and be an assetfor our community.”<br />

Any new projects for the sitewill need to<br />

be economically viableand attract visitors<br />

to Kaikoura,hesays.<br />

‘‘At the sametimethis is an opportunity<br />

to create aspace for everyone to enjoy —<br />

Once initial feedback has been received,<br />

the council will seek expressionsof<br />

interest. There is not expected to be any<br />

construction on the site until towards the<br />

end of nextyear or earlyin2022.<br />

“We recognisedthat avisit to Wakatu<br />

Pair pedal in support of farmers<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Two <strong>North</strong> Island farmers’<br />

daughtersare riding the length<br />

of the country to support<br />

farmer mental health.<br />

Ashlee Paulsenand Minna<br />

Wilson cycled through <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> last weekontheir<br />

journey from Cape Reingato<br />

Blufftoraiseawareness of<br />

farmer suicide.<br />

‘‘We are both farmers’<br />

daughtersand we grew up on<br />

sheepand beeffarms in<br />

central HawkesBay, so we are<br />

awareabout ruralmental<br />

health, but it’s not talked<br />

about,’’Ashlee says.<br />

‘‘Butsince we’vebeen on the<br />

road so many peoplehave<br />

come forwardand sharedtheir<br />

stories.’’<br />

The pair, who have been<br />

closefriends since theywere<br />

toddlers, decided to take time<br />

out from their jobs.<br />

Ashlee is aregistered nurse<br />

at WaikatoHospital in<br />

Hamilton, whileMinna is a<br />

senior adviser in the Ministry<br />

of Health’s Covid­19<br />

Directorate in Wellington.<br />

‘‘We decided to bikearound<br />

the country and why not do it<br />

for agreat cause?’’ Ashlee said.<br />

‘‘I’ve been working on Covid<br />

sinceFebruary, doing <strong>10</strong> to 12<br />

hour days,sotoget this time<br />

away from work has been<br />

really good for our mental<br />

health,’’Minna says.<br />

The publicresponse has<br />

beenoverwhelmingly positive,<br />

aside from motorists at the top<br />

of the <strong>North</strong> Island who were<br />

lessthan friendly.<br />

‘‘Weare having alot of fun<br />

and meetinglots of people,’’<br />

Ashlee says.<br />

‘‘The people we’vemet in the<br />

South Island havebeen so<br />

friendly.’’<br />

One highlight was getting<br />

invited to speak to the children<br />

at Kaihere School, asmall<br />

rural school near Morrinsville.<br />

‘‘They made us lunch.<br />

‘‘It was so sweet and they<br />

were so lovely.’’<br />

While passing through <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>, the pair received a<br />

mayoralreception from<br />

Waimakariri Mayor Dan<br />

Gordon and called into<br />

Compass FM.<br />

Thepair havebeen backed<br />

by support crews, withAshlee’s<br />

parentsproviding support<br />

through the <strong>North</strong> Island and<br />

Minna’s parents following<br />

themthrough the South Island.<br />

Along the journey,the pair<br />

have beenraising funds for the<br />

charity Surfing for Farmers.<br />

‘‘It’s the perfectthing for<br />

farmers,’’ Ashlee says.<br />

‘‘They don’t havetotalk<br />

about their feelings. They just<br />

getout on the waves, have<br />

some fun, meet otherfarmers,<br />

andhave abarbecue.<br />

‘‘Community is the most<br />

important thing. Beingaround<br />

peopleand making<br />

connections.’’<br />

On the road ... Ashlee Paulsen, left, and Minna Wilson stop off in<br />

Environmentally friendly ... Kaikoura plains farmers have been working to reduce their environmental impact.<br />

Environmental efforts pay off<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Kaikoura farmers are doing their bit for<br />

their environment.<br />

The Kaikoura Plains Recovery Project<br />

team has been supporting landowners to<br />

reduce their impact on the environment<br />

as part of their recovery from the<br />

November 2016 earthquake.<br />

After the 2016 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

earthquake, astudy was undertaken to<br />

assess the damage, habitat, and health of<br />

streams in Kaikoura’s Lyell Creek/<br />

Staff and Management<br />

would like to wish you averyMerry<br />

Christmas and Happy New Year.<br />

56 St Leonards Rd, Culverden<br />

Ph 03 315 3033 -Fax 03 315 8413<br />

Waikoau catchment. ‘‘Critical source<br />

areas’’ were identified, including newly<br />

created springs, bank slumping, erosion<br />

and <strong>10</strong>4 overland flow paths.<br />

Project manager Jodie Hoggard says<br />

managing these areas can be relatively<br />

straightforward by starting small.<br />

“Getting in touch with your local<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> (ECan) office<br />

can be agood first step.<br />

‘‘There are lots of people there ready<br />

and willing to help you find good<br />

methods for protecting our precious wai<br />

(water).”<br />

Such areas can include pugged areas,<br />

raceways, stock crossings, and springs,<br />

which often form in low­lying parts of<br />

farms such as gullies.<br />

They carried contaminants such as<br />

nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment,<br />

which impacts the water clarity, quality,<br />

and freshwater biodiversity values.<br />

By managing critical source areas,<br />

sediment and nutrient loss can be<br />

reduced and water quality improved.<br />

It can also help farmers to meet good<br />

management practice and the conditions<br />

of their Farm Environment Plan.<br />

The project has worked, with ECan<br />

and local landowners showing on two<br />

demonstration sites how simple<br />

interventions such as fencing and<br />

PHOTO: SUPPLIED<br />

planting can reduce the impacts of<br />

sedimentation and erosion.<br />

One site was awetland area on asmall<br />

sheep and beef farm on the Kaikoura<br />

Flats. The work was undertaken on<br />

about 1800 square metres and flows into<br />

Warrens Creek.<br />

The first step was to remove stock and<br />

fence off the area to allow it to<br />

regenerate, Mrs Hoggard said.<br />

“By removing stock, we saw a<br />

significant growth of cutty grass (Carex<br />

geminata)which provides great filtering<br />

qualities, stabilises banks, enhances<br />

biodiversity and mahinga kai values,<br />

and increases habitat for native bird and<br />

animal species.”<br />

Willow control was also completed.<br />

The second site, Maghera farm, has<br />

more than 3500 square metres of<br />

waterways across <strong>10</strong> critical source<br />

areas, making it one of the most<br />

significant in the catchment.<br />

The dairy farm sits alongside 507<br />

metres of spring­fed stream flowing into<br />

Lyell Creek/ Waikoau.<br />

Acommunity planting day was<br />

organised by ECan and Fonterra, and<br />

more than 600 metres of fencing was<br />

completed, with 500 sedges, shrubs and<br />

trees planted to improve water quality<br />

and biodiversity values.<br />

Heat applied by Stove<br />

crucial to win at Oxford<br />

Ahalf­century and five­wicket haul by Oxford­<br />

Rangiora all­rounder LachieStove helped guide his<br />

side to a156­rundemolition of Cheviot in the latest<br />

roundofcountry cricket at the weekend.<br />

Stove’s stellar effortsecured Oxford­Rangiora a<br />

needed win in the CRV Ambreed Country Premier<br />

One Day <strong>2020</strong>/21competition on Saturday,which<br />

also saw top points forWeedons and Darfield.<br />

The struggle for playerscontinued for embattled<br />

Southbrook, whichwas forced to default for the<br />

second week running. In doing so, it handed the<br />

points, and aweekend off, to arch­rivalsSefton.<br />

Decision rued<br />

At Oxford’s PearsonPark, the visiting Cheviot<br />

Magpies may have rued the decision to bowlfirst,<br />

with the Oxford­RangioraXIrackingup211/9.<br />

Afteraggressive opener JakeWaghorngot Oxford­<br />

Rangiora off to aflyer with arun­a­ball39, it was<br />

Stove, batting at No. 4, who did the mostdamage.<br />

Stove, who joined Oxford­Rangiora this season<br />

from Weedons,took the attacktoadepleted Cheviot<br />

side,smashing66off 80 balls,including three sixes.<br />

With his tailup, Stove then took the new ball to rip<br />

through theCheviot top­order,takingaremarkable<br />

five­wicket bag in justfour overs.<br />

Mark Murphy’s wilyoff­spinners thenmopped up<br />

the sorry Cheviotinnings, which capitulated to be<br />

allout for 55 in just 18.5 overs.<br />

Darfield’s momentum<br />

At Lincoln Domain, the home team electedtobat<br />

firstagainst Darfield,and wouldhave been happy<br />

with its first­innings totalof211/6.<br />

LincolnopenerHugh Paterson batted masterfully<br />

and deservedacentury, falling just short on 97.<br />

The Darfield chase, after losing Liam Foulkes<br />

cheaply, got off to aflying start withNick Gilbert(23<br />

Comfortable win<br />

With competition leaders Leeston­Southbridge<br />

having the bye,second­placed Weedonskept up the<br />

pressure with afine 111­run victory over Ohoka.<br />

At Weedons Domain, the home sideracked up an<br />

imposing 274/7 in its first innings.<br />

Set up by aquick 65 by opener Brad Nightingale,<br />

Weedons got handy contributions throughoutthe<br />

order, with61byCharlie Robsonand an unbeaten<br />

45 off 38 ballsbyDevon Nightingale.<br />

In reply, Ohoka never really lookedlike<br />

challenging the big score, with too many batsmen<br />

guilty of getting out aftermakingstarts.<br />

Likeits batting effort, Weedonsworkedtogether<br />

as aunit to strangle Ohokaand eventually bowl the<br />

sideout for 163 in the 37thover to securea111­run<br />

What’s happening in your<br />

community…<br />

Only Final Touches Remain for Ivory Street<br />

The upgrade ofIvory Street is nearing completion.<br />

Road resurfacing is finished and next steps include<br />

installing traffic islands, road marking, and painting<br />

the islands and cycle lane.<br />

Anew pedestrian refuge island will be installed<br />

just north of the Collins Street intersection and<br />

three pedestrian islands will be reinstated at<br />

their previous locations at the Queen Street<br />

intersection, outside 58 Ivory Street and 45 Ivory<br />

Street.<br />

Senior Engineering Advisor Don Young says, “We<br />

really appreciate the work has been noisy and<br />

difficult for residents for some months now -<br />

specifically the recent night works. Unfortunately,<br />

night time was the only option for this work due to<br />

the busyness of the road.”<br />

Next week we will complete road marking with<br />

the painting of the islands and have acycle lane<br />

coming in early January.<br />

Installation of the traffic islands started on8<br />

<strong>December</strong> and continues for 2-3 nights, although<br />

this is weather dependant. The timing of works<br />

is from 3am to 7am on Ivory Street, and 3am to<br />

<strong>10</strong>am on Queen Street. The construction will be<br />

completed during this time to minimise disruption<br />

to traffic and local businesses.<br />

Ivory Street will be one lane during these hours,<br />

with stop/go traffic management and atemporary<br />

speed limit of 30km will also be in place.<br />

Queen Street will be closed from the Ivory Street<br />

intersection back to the KFC entrance during<br />

installation of the pedestrian refuge island.<br />

Feedback Sought on New Features for<br />

Millton Memorial Park<br />

The Council are asking the community to share<br />

feedback on adra Master Plan for Millton<br />

Memorial Park in Rangiora, as it looks to further<br />

The dra plan features anarboretum (a botanical<br />

garden devoted to trees), dog agility area, and<br />

an area for the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Model Railway<br />

Club to lease. Apath would link the reserve and<br />

dog park into the wider walking and cycling trails,<br />

especially those in the Ashley/Rakahuri Regional<br />

Park.<br />

“The dra plan gives an idea of what it could look<br />

like and the proposed location of the different<br />

features. We’re looking forward to getting<br />

feedback to see what people would like”, says<br />

Grant MacLeod, Council’s Greenspace Manager.<br />

Millton Memorial Park is areserve that currently<br />

includes the Rangiora Dog Park, Croquet and Table<br />

Bowls, Park &Ride and alarge area of leased<br />

grazing land. The area for the proposed upgrade is<br />

the remaining undeveloped part of the reserve.<br />

Feedback closes at 5pm, Friday 8January 2021.<br />

to the Rangiora-Ashley Community Board for<br />

consideration and final approval.<br />
