Mixed
reaction
to school
proposal
By DAVID HILL
Anew North Canterbury high school is
unlikely to make it on to the drawing board
anytime soon.
The possibility of factoring in anew high
school in the town centre at Ravenswood
was suggested by MP Matt Doocey in
response to the region’s strong growth
(North Canterbury News,January 14).
In his regular column, Mr Doocey said
continuing growth in the eastern portion of
the electorate posed the question of whether
anew high school should be factored into
the Ravenswood town centre strategy.
However, the idea has yet to gain traction.
The Ministry of Education, responding to
Mr Doocey’s comments, said the
Waimakariri district was able to handle a
growing secondary school student
population.
Sector enablement and support acting
deputy secretary Jann Marshall says the five
secondary education providers in the
Waimakariri district are ‘‘wellplaced to
accommodate their student population’’.
The schools include Kaiapoi and
Rangiora high schools, Oxford Area School,
Rangiora New Life School and acampus of
One School Global on Lehmans Rd,
Rangiora.
Both Rangiora and Kaiapoi high schools
have capacity to accommodate increased
school rolls to allow for anticipated growth
in the eastern district, Ms Marshall says.

show organiser Craig Stare feared
Covid19 would stall thisyear’s event
when entries were opened.
But the global pandemic seemed a
distant concern last weekend as huge
crowds packedinto Rangiora’s A&P
Showgrounds for the twoday annual
event.
‘‘We beatCovidthis year, but next
year who knows,’’Craigsaid.‘‘Saturday
was abig day, not arecord crowd,and
Sunday was abit down, but overall it
was as goodasyou could expectunder
the circumstances.’’
About1300 cars of all shapes, sizes
and condition were parked around the
grounds.
They camefrom all over New
Zealand, including Ruakaka in the Far
North to Stewart Islandinthe Deep
South.
Saturday’spopularRetro Rockabilly
Pageant attractedalarge, enthusiastic
crowd, but the hottest placetobefor
many was the burnout pad. The crowd
was10deep in placesaround the pad
on Saturday.
Theshow’s star was Martin and

called Uncertain T, parkedinits own

‘‘best creation’’ at the showbecausehe

but his brother, Jason, and Jason’s
partner, Shelley Clark, brought it north
for the show.
Jasonsaid Muscle Car Madness was
afamilyoriented showwith many
childrenattending, but most vehicles
were not allowed to be touched.
‘‘Kids love to touchand feel things,’’
he said. ‘‘SoShane decided to builda

By DAVID HILL
Jim Palmer’s lastWaimakaririDistrict
Council Long TermPlan hasproven to be
the mostchallenging.
The outgoing chiefexecutive, speaking
at Tuesday’s openingdeliberationsonthe
planatthe Rangiora Town Hall, said
there wereuncertaintiesfacing all
communities in New Zealand,
particularlyurban areas.
‘‘It’ssomething we willhavetoconsider
in our plan.
‘‘Theremay evenbeanimpact when
the nextproperty values aredone.
‘‘There’s already somesoftening in the
value of farmproperties, butit’stoo early
to predict how this is going to play out.’’
The council’sfinance andbusiness
supportmanager, JeffMillward,saidthe
draft 2021/31Long TermPlan(LTP) had
beendifficulttowrite,amidthe
uncertaintyfacing the region.
‘‘This is probablythe mostuncertain
Long TermPlanwe’vedone,’’hesaid.
‘‘There’s climate change,uncertainty
aroundwater policy, Covid, andifwego
into anotherlockdown it will change
things again.’’
Thepair proposedanaverage rates rise
acrossthe district of 3.9percent ayearfor
thenexttwo years,upfrom the1.5%rise
of 2020/21,but down on previousyears.
Therise reflects inflation, anda1%rise
to cover earthquake loan repayments.
‘‘Looking at othercouncils, I’m not
seeinganything as low as this,’’Mr
Millward said.
‘‘Theyearof1.5%from Covid is having
an impact,and this (3.9%)doesn’t include
theoptin option for kerbside waste
collection.’’
Based on data fromStatisticsNew
Zealand, the Waimakariridistrict
population, as at June30, 2020,was 64,700.
It is expected to riseto78,400 in 2031
and hit100,000 by 2051.
Growth of 13,700 representsaround
4800new houses overthe nextdecade, Mr
Millward said.
To allowfor thisgrowth, the council

Vandals have destroyed a
small commemorative tree
planted by Cust/West
Eyreton Garden Club
members.
The flowering dogwood
tree, donated by Cust’s
Querky Style and Roses, was
planted in the Jack Graham
Reserve in the Cust
Community Centre grounds
last October to mark the
club’s 70th anniversary.
Club committee member
Anna White, of Oxford, said
the tree had been snapped
off and the top half
discarded.
‘‘It is very disappointing
for this to happen. We had
such alovely day during the
planting ceremony.’’
The tree was vandalised
early in the New Year and
was reported to the
council’s Greenspace team.
It will replace the tree later
this year.
The council’s parks and
community assets officer,
Greg Barnard, said it was
disappointing to lose the
tree. ‘‘It was in aperfect spot
and areally nice tree.’’

the tree last October.

NikkiKohalmisays this
week’s fire at Pines
Beachshows just how
brutal Mother Nature
can be.
Nikki, who lives
across the road from
wherethe fire started,
watchedflamesleap
over aroad and intoa

‘‘They just jumpedthe
road.Itwas scary. Once
the fire was in the
paddock,itwas ‘woof’
and it was off —all the
way to the beach.’’
Nikkiwas alerted to
the fire by afriend who
saw smokeatPines
Beach, and called her as
he travelled along the
motorway.
‘‘I was watching a
movieand could smell
smoke. WhenIwent
outside and looked
aroundour big hedge,
there it (the fire) was,
right there.’’
‘‘It was huge, and
there werepeople
everywhere. Then the
fire enginesarrived,’’
says Nikki,who initially
thoughtahouse overthe
road was on fire.She
later realiseditwas a
shed.
‘‘Icould see the
flamesand ahelicopter
flyingover. Iamso
grateful no houseswere
in the path of the fire.’’
Nikki was evacuated
‘‘pretty quickly’’, and
wasnot allowed home
until 10pmonMonday.
Shewas ‘‘dumbfounded’’
over what to
pack, and nervous about
what she mightfind
when she returned to
her Kain Street house.
‘‘I got the dog and dog
food,mywedding
photos, and afew cans
of L&P. Ididn’t know
what to take or what to
do.
‘‘Mother Nature is
harsh. Iwas toldIhad to
leave, so in the end Ijust
took the dog, Roxy.’’
She warned her
sister, Veronica, who
liveswith her, not to
come home, but when
she got to the park down
the roadshe was there.
The pair lookedonas
helicopters and Fire
and Emergency New

the blazethat spread
through 20 hectaresof
vegetation.
‘‘Heads up to the
police, the fireservice
andthe Pines Beach
community. Theywere
brilliant, and calm,’’
Nikki says.
By Tuesday morning
thefire had been
contained but not
controlled.
Principal Rural Fire
Officer Bruce Janes said

Church restoration begins
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Cracked and battered,StPaul’s Anglican
Church at Glenmark has sat emptyand
forlorn for adecade.
The church,which has served the
communitysince 1905, was redstickered
afterthe 2010 Canterbury earthquakes.
Burglars, vandals, weather,rats and
pigeonshave taken theirtoll, with the
church left vulnerablewith cracks to a
wall,damagetothe bell tower and an
entranceway fallingaway fromthe
building.Now, its restoration hasbegun.
Threeworking bees paved the wayfor
RPC Construction to moveinand take over
the site. The first saw vegetation cleared
around the building. At the second, all
screws were removed from pews,while a
thirdgot the furniture intostorage.
The windowswere removed 18 months
ago and are now with an expertrestorer.
The 1906 Normanand Beardorgan,
from England, is alsoonthe move. It rose
skyward on the south wall whichwas badly
damaged in the quakes. It is the firsttime
it has had to leave the south transept.
It is headedfor Timarutobeoverhauled
by the South IslandOrgan Co. Asound can
stillbecoaxed from the organ, whichfor
many years was consideredthe best in the
southern hemisphere, and one of the
largest in acountry church.
All hands on deck ... The heavy reredos, an ornamental screen covering the wall at the
back of the altar, is finally extracted.
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED
It remainedingreat order thanksto
frequent visits from atunerfrom Timaru.
The chairman of the Friendsofthe
Glenmark Church, Andy Munro, said there
wasafair bit of heavy lifting involved in
stripping the interior, with acouple of the
longer pews having to be cut in two.
Attentionisnow beingturned to finding
theremainder of the funds to completethe
church restoration. While there is no
definitive figure stillneedingtoberaised,
he hopes it canbekept to around $200,000
to $300,000.
Thekitty currentlystands at $1.65
million,asubstantialportion of which
came from the New Zealand Lottery
Grants Board.
‘‘It is ahuge relieftoget the project
started,’’ Mr Munro says.‘‘There are not
too many brick buildingsleft after the
earthquakes. Alot were demolished.’’
St Paul’s was consecrated in 1907 with
thebuilding, organ,churchfurniture and
bells costing about £8000. Theywere agift
to the parish by MrsTownendinmemory
of her father, Mr George Henry Moore,
whoestablishedGlenmark Estate.
Tuneup ... The 1906 Norman and Beard
organ is off for restoration.
Open: Thurs -Sun 10am -4pm Closed Mon -Wed &public holidays www.artsinoxford.com

Town eyes visitor opportunities
By DAVID HILL
Kaiapoi businesses
anticipate abusy year, after
an uncertain 2020.
The Kaiapoi Promotions
Association (KPA) hopes to
cash in this year on the river
town’s growing popularity as
adestination for
Christchurch and Selwyn
residents.
With the recent opening of
the Christchurch Northern
Corridor cycleway and the
freedoms being enjoyed
under alert level 1, KPA
business manager Martyn
Cook is keen to press on with
projects delayed by Covid19.
The Destination Kaiapoi
Collective, ajoint initiative
between KPA and local
businesses to promote the
town, was ‘‘stalled through
Covid’’ but will have a
renewed energy this year, Mr
Cook says.
‘‘It’s still an important
initiative because, despite
the local economy surviving
well through the Covid crisis,
there’s alot of data
suggesting it won’t continue.
‘‘It’s an initiative to put
something in place to help
our businesses to be seen,
particularly in
Christchurch.’’
KPA plans to continue
working alongside
Enterprise North Canterbury
to implement the new
Waimakariri Visitor Strategy
and to push for funding for
the proposed Wheels to
Day trippers ... Kaiapoi’s popularity as adestination is likely to grow this year, with more visitors from
Christchurch and Selwyn.
PHOTO: DESTINATION KAIAPOI
Waipara cycleway project.
Conversations have also
begun with Environment
Canterbury to reinstate
mountainbike tracks around
Kaiapoi, which could bring a
new group of visitors to town,
alongside the new northern
corridor cycleway.
‘‘We see cyclists all over the
place now, so there are plenty
of opportunities for this to
grow to support our
businesses,’’ Mr Cook says.
KPA will be watching the
Waimakariri District
Council’s Long Term Plan
process with interest,
particularly conversations
around the future of the
Hilton Street site used for the
Kaiapoi Christmas Carnival.
‘‘The council is looking at
proposals for that site and it
has stipulated that it wants a
village green or market space
as part of that proposal.
‘‘Once we know what space
we’ve got, we can fill it the
best way we can.’’
The KPA is also looking at
adding an event for Kaiapoi,
with the prospect of a
buskers’ festival in April.
‘‘We’re looking at acutdown
version of the old
Christchurch Buskers’
Festival, featuring local
Canterbury street
performers, which people
will be familiar with from the
Santa parades and other
community events.
‘‘All Together Kaiapoi does
an awesome job at running
events, so we are looking at
how we can augment those
events and, in particular, the
big ones.’’
Mr Cook sees the Kaiapoi
River Carnival, abuskers
festival and the Kaiapoi
Christmas Carnival as
potentially being three iconic
events for the river town, with
many smaller events in
between.

MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE
Nervousness over
the year ahead
Welcome to 2021 everyone. Ihope you
had ahappy holiday season and enjoyed
time with friends and family over
Christmas.
It was great to see the influx of tourists
over the Christmas period.
While there is asense of nervousness
on how the rest of the year will play out,
the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs coordinator,
Sean Madden, has been
working with local businesses,
identifying potential apprenticeships
and employment opportunities for
community members whose jobs have
been affected by Covid19.
Sean is currently working with 90
clients. Forty casual jobs and 16 fulltime
jobs have been filled since the funding
was announced in August 2020.
This is agreat result and Iurge anyone
looking for work to get in touch with
Sean through Te Hao Matauranga.
The Kaikoura District Council,
runanga, Department of Conservation,
Environment Canterbury, and
neighbouring councils have been
working together to investigate
possibilities for the next stage of the
Jobs for Nature funding.
This joint approach considers the
issues and opportunities facing the
greater region, from the Hurunui to
Marlborough.
There is an awful lot of work going on
behind the scenes at the council.
The team is busy working on the Long
Term Plan, District Plan and Waste
Management and Minimisation Plan.
This is ahuge amount of work, even for
alarge council, but especially for one as
small as ours.
While there are several unknowns for
our district, including the proposed
water reforms and Covid19, one of the
advantages of our small team is the
ability to adapt and respond to changing
circumstances, as shown by our reaction
and successful rebuild after the
earthquakes.
Chief executive Angela Oosthuizen
will have her last day on Friday and I
would like to extend my sincere thanks
for all that she and her team have done
to get the district where it is today, after
some huge hurdles.
These are uncertain times and while it
is not easy for many businesses out
there, Ihope you find some time to relax
and connect with friends while the
weather is good.
The need for the `magic fertiliser'
DearEditor,
Hurunui MayorMarie Blackraises
the subject of wasting water by making
the pertinentpoint that 98 percent of
our alpinefed flow goes straight outto
sea.
Fromababe in arms it seemsmylife
has revolved around water —the lack of
it.
My father came to Waipara in 1935
and his dream of harnessing thatwater
thatcould so easily be stored in Lake
Sumner cameasalegacy. So I’m hoping
thatwhen I’m gone the fire won’t go out.
Iknow fromontheground
experience that it is what Iterm the
magic fertiliser —all else is adream
without it.
My experimentalcroppinginthe
1970s proved it. Who can imagine 33
tonnes of tomatoes offtwo acres? And
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
broad beansfor Watties plus manyother
very successfultrial crops?The local
wine production thatpays Treasury
around$20 million ayear?
I’ve been toldbywitnesses that the
late Sir Max Smith had abig file on
harnessingLake Sumner.Ifear he
added it to abonfire (which Ifilmed) out
of sheer frustration withbureaucracy.
The wholesouthern Hurunui area has
available the very bestwater sourcethat
naturecan supply for towns, electricity
and irrigation—all by gravity.
It is way past time that MainPower got
on board instead of tilting at windmills.

ECan considers options to
open up land for housing
By ROBYN BRISTOW
More land for housing in Rangiora and
Kaiapoi is under the spotlight.
Environment Canterbury is
considering rezoning more land for
housing in the two North Canterbury
towns, and also Rolleston, to help
meet future demand.
Growth scenarios for the region
show there is unlikely to be enough
land for housing in the Waimakariri
and Selwyn districts in the medium
and long term —10to30years.
ECan proposes achange to Chapter
6ofthe Canterbury Regional Policy
Statement that will enable councils to
develop plans and consult with
communities on additional land for
housing, through district planning
processes.
The targeted change will identify
future development areas for urban
housing in Rangiora, Kaiapoi and
Rolleston, and provide guidance for
councils when rezoning land.
It was notified on January 16 as part
of astreamlined planning process,
with the public able to have asay up
until 5pm on Monday, February 15.
ECan’s director strategy and
planning, Katherine Trought, says the
monthlong submission process gives
everyone an opportunity to look at the
proposed change and have asay about
the future of housing development in
greater Christchurch.
“Once the submission period is over,
we will carefully consider all the
comments we receive and deliver a
report to the Minister for the
Growth pains ... There is unlikelytobe
enough land for housing in the Waimakariri
and Selwyn districts in the mediumtolong
term.
Environment that will show how the
submissions have been considered
and any recommended changes.”
To make awritten submission, view
the proposed change, and find further
information about the planning
process, go to ECan’s Have Your Say
page on its website.
New JP clinic in Kaiapoi
Kaiapoi is set to offer anew weekend
justice of the peace service.
The Kaiapoi Library will host a
weekly JP clinic from this Saturday,
January 30, from 10am to 12pm,
alongside its weekly Tuesday clinic.
Kaiapoi justice of the peace Neill
Price says the clinic will be open to
anybody from North Canterbury and
will take the pressure off local JPs.
‘‘It’s surprising how many enquiries
we get at night and at weekends, so we
are going to make it available with the
very good cooperation of the staff at
the library.’’
Kaiapoi has at least 15 justices of the
peace who are qualified to perform a
variety of tasks, including witnessing
signatures on documents, certifying
copies of original documents,
confirming identities and taking oaths,
declarations, affidavits and
affirmations, Mr Price says.
Other duties include filling out
dissolution of marriage documents and
assisting with foreign documents.
Being ajustice of the peace is
voluntary, with prospective JPs filling
out anomination form from their local
MP’s office, then going through an
interview process before training is
provided.
If successful, JPs are then sworn in by
adistrict court judge and issued with a
ministerial manual, stamps and abible,
Mr Price says.

Ewe sale exceeds all expectations
By SANDRA TAYLOR

Top rams sold for$4000while
fullshedding twotooth ewes
made up to $375 at the
inaugural Mt Cass Station
Wiltshireram and ewe salelast
week.
Buyers fromaround the
countrycompeted strongly for
the 3444 Wiltshires on offer,
reflectingthe growing interest
in the lowinput, shedding
sheep.
Alongside the Mt Cassrams,
lambs, twotooth and annual
draft ewes on offer were twotooth
ewes fromHartsCreek
farm at Leeston and twotooth
ewes and lambsfrom Waitui
Holdings in the Marlborough
Sounds.
All lines soldstrongly, with
the average pricefor fullshedding
Mt Cass twotooth
ewes being$347.
The station’s ewe lambs
averaged $210, with the top
lines making$270. Annual
draft ewes averaged $230.
Mt Cass’s 48 rams all sold
with an average price of $1670.
The Mt Cass shareholders
said they could not be happier
with their firstsaleofMtCass
Wiltshire genetics.
“Stock are being trucked to
new homes from Kerikeri in
Northland to North Otago, and
we are delighted with three
significant volume sales into
the NorthIsland.’’
They saidthe sale wasa
culmination of more than 12
years’ workdeveloping asheep
suitable for the needs of the Mt
Cass organic programme.
Great prices ... Mt Cass twotooth Wiltshire ewes sold for $375 each. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
‘‘Ourteam is buzzingwith
the support and interestshown
in our firstsale.”
Mt Cass covers 1800 hectares
of hill countrynear Waipara.
The Wiltshires, with their
inherent internal parasite
resistance and resilience,
come into theirown in the
farm’s lowinput, organic
system.
The sheep do not need
shearing, dagging or crutching,
and they do not get flystrike.
Thisresults in significant
savings in shearing,labour and
agrichemical costs.
Mt Cass started its Wiltshire
studtomeet agrowing demand
for the genetics, and the shareholders
saythere has been
growing interestinWiltshires
fromfarmers frustrated by
ongoing depressed wool prices
and the work associated with
woolproduction.
The progressiontoanoshearflock
is quiterapid and,
withinacouple of generations,
crutching, dippingand
flystrike is eliminated. Within
three to four generations, so
too is shearing.
While theydonot produce
wool, the Wiltshireare good
meat producers, and Mt Cass
weans 135145percent off the
hill country.
About 40% of the Mt Cass
lamb crop is sold prime pre
Christmas at a16.5kg to 17.5kg
carcass weight.

AMBERLEY LIONS SURFCASTING COMPETITION
10 The North Canterbury News, January 28, 2021
Big fish prove elusive in fishing contest
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Fishytales and camaraderie were in
abundance at the Amberley Lions
Surfcasting Competition on Sunday.
Atotal of 250 fishers registered, 41 of
them children. It was the second largest
number of registrations in the event’s
28year history. Unfortunately not many
fish came to the party during the contest at
Amberley Beach, organised by the
Amberley and District Lions Club.
Fishing was poor compared to last year,
but it didn’t deter fishers wholined the
beachfor 3.2km to lure the longest fish,
and snare the $1000 top senior prize.
In the end, that honour went to Ben
McGill with a980mm stingray. Felix
Anderson won the junior title with a
653mmdogfish.
Alan Rhodes, of Rangiora, who usually
goes net fishing in the estuary, decided to
enterfor fun. ‘‘But,Ithink Iamjust
feeding the crabs,’’ he said. ‘‘I havecaught
areal collection of them.’’
Dean Lamport of Christchurch last
enteredback in the 90s.Heboughtnew
gear,but it did notseem to help.
The Walkerfamily, 17 in in total,had a
greatday at the beach, with two of them
fishing while the kids enjoyed the surf.

End of an era ... Workers dismantle signage from Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey’s
electorate office at 156B Williams Street to make way for the opening of anew office
close to the Kaiapoi Marina.

Old MPs’ office has
many stories to tell
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Amove to anew Kaiapoi premises
has Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey
taking awalk back in time.
Kaiapoi residents have been
coming through the shop front of
156B Williams Street for help from
their local MP since Mike Moore
first set up the office in 1996.
But Mr Doocey is breaking with
tradition and moving to anew office
closer to the river.
He says the move to the heart of
Kaiapoi is part of achange to reflect
the river town’s exciting and vibrant
new spaces.
Over the years, 156B has housed
four members of Parliament, who
settled into the space with very little
change, except for achange in party
affiliation.
‘‘The baton has been passed from
Mike Moore to Clayton Cosgrove to
Kate Wilkinson, and Imoved in after
being elected in 2014.’’
Mr Doocey said, when packing
began, the team became aware of an
old sticker on the shared power
board that is still labelled for Mike
Moore.
‘‘An old press cutting dated
October 16, 1996, announces the
start of the very first threeyear MP
lease, to cover the parliamentary
term.’’
Mr Doocey says he is looking
forward to welcoming residents to
his new office.
‘‘While we wait for the fitout to be
completed, residents can continue
calling (03) 327 0514 for assistance,”
he says.

board still refers to formerMPMikeMoore.

Big plans for sports hub
An updated clubhouse,
recreational tracks and
extensive landscaping are part of
an ambitious 20year strategic
plan for the Mandeville Sports
Club’s 80hectare home.
Club chairwoman Anne
Prattley says the reserve is an
integral part of the growing
community and provides quality
sport and recreation facilities for
the Waimakariri District.
It caters for 13 sports and
leisure clubs, and hosts some of
North Canterbury’s biggest
annual community events.
Despite this, many people still
didn’t know it existed.
‘‘We need to let people know
we are here, what clubs we have,
and that we provide awelcoming
space for the community to
enjoy,’’ she says.
The strategic plan has been
compiled by NTM Consulting
with the support of Sport
Canterbury, the Rata
Foundation, the Waimakariri
District Council and the clubs
based at the grounds.
The club hopes it will help the
reserve, which is owned by the

Toys libraries offer
affordable option
Toy libraries are alowcost way for
families to access the latest toys.
There are active toy libraries all
over North Canterbury that are run by
volunteers. They allow families to
borrow toys without the big expense.
The Kaiapoi Toy Library is open on
Saturdays from 10.30am to 12.30pm
and offers two levels of membership,
depending on whether parents have
time to help with library duties.
Toy hire is free once families have
paid their annual subscription,
committee member Erin Harvie says.
‘‘We’re alittle bit unusual because
we don’t charge an additional fee for
toy hire, which makes it abit easier for
families.
‘‘And we are open during the school
holidays, except over the Christmas
period.’’
The Kaiapoi Toy Library also has a
bouncy castle, and party packs are
available for hire to help with
children’s birthday parties.

Major development ... An artist’s impression of The Sterling village at Silverstream,
Kaiapoi. Construction is expected to start this year.
IMAGE: SUPPLIED
Kaiapoi village to be
built in seven stages
Landuse consent has been granted to
Lime Living Ltd to establish and operate
aretirement village in Silverstream,
Kaiapoi.
The Sterling Village will be built in
seven stages, starting this year, with the
first residents expected in the second
half of the year.
The first stage will incorporate 18
villas and atemporary community
centre, along with the main reserve and
green spaces.
When complete, The Sterling will
spread over seven hectares, and offer 76
independent living villas, 267
apartments, 48 residential care beds,
and 36 memory care beds.
The existing Silverstream amenities
such as the cafe, hairdresser and
medical centre are all just ashort walk
away.
Lime Living Ltd is the parent company
responsible for managing its delivery.
It was established by Alan Edwards,
Fred Rahme and Jack Lin, who have
backgrounds in aged care, urban
planning and residential development.
Mr Rahme, aLime Living director,
says they are not just creating a
retirement village.
‘‘Through our architectural detailing
and bespoke design, we will create a
fivestar village that raises the bar on
aged care in New Zealand.’’
Mr Lin, also acompany director, says
their first principle is to create avillage
connected to awider community, that is
safe and secure, and where residents
always have avoice —‘‘a village where
we would be happy for our mums to
live”.
Collaborating with internationally
renowned architecture firm Marchese
Partners means The Sterling will push
the boundaries in terms of quality and
design.
Marchese Partners has more than 15
years of experience creating awardwinning,
landmark agedcare facilities
throughout Australia, Asia and Britain.
The Sterling will promote community,
connection and choice. This emphasis
will ensure every resident lives as
independently as they choose, to select
services and care when needed, but
always being independent in making
those decisions for themselves.
Mr Edwards, who is Sterling chairman
and executive director, says they will
ensure every resident is central to the
decisionmaking about what care is
required and when it is required, so
people can live with the level of
independence they desire.

youngpeople, we couldn’t see our
friends.’’
Mr Watts, abusy ruralcontractor, says
her thing,really,’’ Mr Burrows
said.
‘‘I’m astickler for the Dorset
Downs really,but they’ve all
got their attributes.
‘‘The Southdowns, we sella
lot of them for hogget mating
and they’re going really well.
‘‘We’vegot asheep conveyor
business and alot of placeswe
go to use Suffolks.’’
The Suffolk stud has been
establishedfor 13monthold
daughter Holly.
Stud sheep are in Mr
Burrow’s blood, as his father
Tom Burrows, the New
Zealand Sheepbreeders’
Association president, has
been breeding sheep since the
1970sand his greatuncle Tug
Burrows wasawellknown
Corriedale breeder.
Mr Burrows said he was
pleased to be back to showing
sheepand catching up with
farmers, afterseveral shows
were cancelledlast year
because of Covid19.
‘‘We’ve got ayear to catch up
on now and have alook at
everyone else’ssheep.
‘‘We wereathome lookingat
our sheepthe wholetime,’’he
said.
SheepconvenorDave
he looksforward to attending club events.
‘‘I’m seven daysoncall, all day every
day, so YoungFarmersissomething I
make an efforttoget along to.
‘‘There’s people Iwant to see and the
job isn’t that importantthatIcan’t have
time to myself.’’
The clubhad its first meetingfor the
year earlierthis month and hopes to get
back to hosting ayoung farmers’ ball,
havingsome trips away and supporting
local community events.
Members were keen to get backto
hosting monthly‘‘funtivities’’,beginning
with anight at the races last week.
‘‘Hopefully we will do aWest Coast trip
and aNorthIslandtrip for the National
Fieldays, if it doesn’t get cancelled,’’ Mr
Watts says.

Butterick said he was pleased
withthe response, after an
uncertainyear.
While entries were down
compared to lastJanuary,
there was no feature breed this
time, which tended to boost
entries.
‘‘Last year was one to forget,
so it’s just good to get back to
having some shows.’’
Southdown sheep entries
werestrong, whilethe black
and colouredsheepclasses
werewellsupported.
There werealso good
numbers of Poll Dorsets and
Suffolks, Mr Buttericksaid.
Anew social activity the club will trial
this year is trying out different businesses
forameal and acatchup.
Ayoung farmers’ ball was hosted by the
club two years ago,but had to be
cancelled lastyear becauseofCovid19,
Mr Watts said.
‘‘We’rehoping to run aball in April and
we want to get at least 100people. It’s a
fun night outand young farmers’ balls
used to happenall the time.’’
The PendarvesYFC in MidCanterbury
hosts an annual‘‘after harvestball’’, while
theDunsandel club has held one in
recentyears, ‘‘so hopefully we can havea
bitofaball season’’.
Theclub also plans to support community
eventssuch as the SwannanoaFair

Lincoln won the tossand elected to

rueing the decision when Arnav Deb
struck withhis secondball.
They were theninall sorts of
trouble at 34/6, when Deb, the

Abattling unbeaten 36 from 86
ballsfrom Hugh Patersonhelped
Lincoln to post108 before the side
was bowled out in the 42ndover.
The tiny total proved areal
challengefor Weedons, losing
wickets throughout its chase.
Akshan and Akshay Gulati bowled
tightly to combine for fourwickets,
whileEdgar Patersonchipped out
threemore, and when Weedons’
ninthwicketfell, it still needed11
runs for victory.
The cool head of Charlie Robson
steered Weedons home, with an
unbeaten knockof22off 43 ballsto
claimthe win in the 33rd over.

Ohoka was reeling at 97/6.
But KyleBrown, returning to topflight

Brown smashed an unbeaten 47
from just 43 balls to lift Ohoka over

By ROBYN BRISTOW
Matt Chisholm will discuss
the challenges of depression
at the Waiau Town Hall on
April 10.
The former television
personality, whose twopart
documentary Man Enough
aired last year, will share why
he set out on anationwide
campaign to smash the stigma
around mental health and
break the silence around
suicide.
Matt is sharing his insights
to help men become better
connected and to speak out
about their mental health.
He visited rugby clubs,
construction sites,
boardrooms, men’s
barbershops and boxing
gyms, and presents a
thoughtful investigation into
the health of modern Kiwi
men.
The event is being hosted
by the Community Response
Committee, which was
formed after the Covid19
lockdown last year.
The committee, which
operates under the umbrella
of the Amuri Community
Trust, has been fortunate to
receive further funding from
the Ministry of Social
Development to continue its
work connecting people in
communities in the Amuri
district, and to help with their
health awellbeing.

WHY CHRISTADELPHIANS
BELIEVE IN THE HOPE
OF ISRAEL
Jesus Christ of the New Testament was aJew
borninIsrael. The historical kingdom of God
was reigned over by King David, in Israel, but
through unfaithful descendants was overturned
until he (Jesus Christ) would come whose right
it is to reign as King. Arighteous King ruling
over the Earth guiding all in his Father’sways.
