Following thedeathsof their
spouses, friends noticedhow lonely
ThelmaandBrianwereand
persuaded themto put theirpersonal
detailson the datingwebsitein

Both wereinitially reluctant, but
eventuallydecided to try the modern
way of dating.

Distress, frustration over tyre fire
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The latesttyre fire near Amberley has
left landowner WarrenHislop and
his longtimesupporter Angelique
Hyde distraught.
‘‘It’s soul destroying,’’Angelique
says.‘‘Heisdistraught, Iam
distraught. Thiswill destroy us and it
is not of our doing.’’
She was at work withadigger at the
RacecourseRoad site on Tuesday,
with the authority of Environment
Canterbury, preparing the site before
dirt,then clay is piled on the tyre
remains to smother the fire.
‘‘This is goingtocost amillion
dollars, plus.How is one person
supposed to come up with that sortof
moneywithout goingbankrupt?
‘‘We didn’t do this. We didn’t do any
of it, but we cop the lot.’’
Despite the cost she is committed to
cleaning up the mess left behind by
the fire in the pileofabout160,000
tyres. ‘‘I said we woulddoit, and we
will.’’
She is angry the fire occurred just
weeksbefore gettingrid of the tyres.
ECan northernzone manager
Andrew Arps says the tyres are now a
pile of ash and wire, and the smoke
mostly grey.Two or three pockets

Police are investigating afire in
Rangiora’sLilybrook Reserve
last Sunday.
Kaiapoibased Constable Mark
Stewart said at this stage it was
not known how it started.
However, the police were
following acouple of lines of
inquiry.
The fire began about5.40pm. It
damaged asmall sectionofbush
and sent plumes of blacksmoke
abovethe reserve, on the corner
of Percival and Victoria streets.
Two fire enginesfrom the
Rangiora brigade putitout
within 15 minutes.
Brigade chief fireofficer
Hamish Peter said two engines
were sent to the fire because of
the homes nearby. Early
notification from the public was
crucial in getting it undercontrol
so quickly.
The cause is unknown at this
stage, he said.
‘‘It is borderingonsuspicious.
Ican’t confirm that, but there is
no reason for afire to have
started in areservelike this.’’

was usedtoprotect the water table.
Fire breaks werecut around the fire.
He is also gutted afterspending
hourshelping findasolution, which
involved sending the tyres to Golden
Bay Cement WorksatWhangarei, for
use in its furnaces. The final step,
funding, was just weeksaway. While
this workwas now futile for these
tyres, he is optimistic it will benefit
others in the SouthIsland.
ThereisamachineinChristchurch
that can chip the tyres, for transport
northtothe cement works.The chips
hold aconsistently high temperature
in the furnaces, whichalso burns the
toxins.
‘‘They can burn up to 7500 tyresa
day, and couldbuild up to 15,000
depending on how much volume they
needed to produceatthe works.’’
Meanwhile,ECan is addressing
community concernsraised at a
meeting last Saturday night, where
winemakers,lifestyle block owners,
and residents aired their frustration.
The tyres should have been removed
yearsago, they said. Testingwill
determine the effects.

Bruce’senthusiasm never waned

FireBrigadedress uniform
one last time on Saturday
night.
The humble 83yearold,
who servedthe brigade and
the district for 57 years,woreit
to his farewell.
His service,alongwiththat
of Jim Forbes,who has served
25 years with thebrigade, was
celebrated at aspecial

Bruce, whoseattendance
recordisinthe high 90

group in NewZealandwho
havereceived adouble gold

local brigade.
He officiallyretiredlastJuly
after Covid19protocols
prematurely sidelined him, as
nooneover 70 was allowed on
active duty. But thebrigade,
which he joined in 1963,was
determined to acknowledge
his service.

He hadnodesire to move up
the ranks.Hejustwanted to

his fellowbrigade members,
and enjoy their company.
‘‘I didn’t play sport so it (the
brigade)was my interest,’’ he
says.
His practical,easy manner
helped many, withone recruit

Brucehas enjoyed the

nothing like returningfroma

Mayor praises prudent nature of plan
By DAVID HILL
The Waimakariri District Council’s draft
Long Term Plan (LTP) offersaprudent
and responsible budget,Mayor Dan
Gordon says.
Councillors, who considered the LTP
last week, settled on aproposed 3.95
percent average rates rise, slightly higher
than the 3.9% signalled by council staff.
‘‘I’mreally pleasedwith where we
endedupand Ithinkwhat we are
presenting over this 10yearperiodisa
prudent and responsiblebudget,’’ Mr
Gordon says.
The council’sStandard and Poor’s
credit ratingannounced this week shows
the district has retained its credit ratingof
AA/A1+ ‘‘with astable outlook’’.
It has giventhe council confidence it is
heading in the rightdirection, Mr Gordon
says.‘‘There is ahigher degreeof
confidence in New Zealand, so we are very
fortunatecomparedtoothercountries.’’
The budget for the 2021/22financial year
includes funding for land purchasesin
Pegasusand Ravenswood, andanew
grittedfootpathinTuahiwi.
Councillors agreed to set aside $1.8
milliontopurchase landinPegasus this
year and earmarked$2.7m fora
community centre in 202425.
Afurther $1.8m was budgeted to buy
land for aproposed community facility in
Ravenswood, likely to include alibrary.
The facility, earmarked for 2029, hasa
price tag of $4.8m.
While refurbishment and strengthening
work is continuing in the Rangiora Civic
Precinct, planned extensions to the
building and to the Trevor InchMemorial
Libraryhave beenpostponed to 2028.
In the meantime, work is being done to
upgradesome elements, including
flooring, layout, heating and ventilation.
‘‘Butinthe current climate with
uncertainty around Covid19 and the
threewaters reform, we didn’t think it was
an appropriate time to plan anew building
or extension.’’
More Rangiora parking is proposed for
the Blake Street car park,Durham Street,
Kerr Street, and at an undecided location,
to provide around500 extracarparks over
the next decade.
Kaiapoi is also settobenefit, with
$435,000 set aside in 2021/22for the
proposed Kaiapoi Hub to be developed in
the formerred zone, southofthe river.
Afurther $200,000 hasbeen set aside for
the 2023/24 financial yeartoassist the
Sefton Community Halldevelopment.
Councillors will meet again on February
23 to adopt the draft 2021/31LTP, before it
goesout for consultation in March.

Quay ideas
The Kaikoura District Council is
seeking ideas from the community for
how Wakatu Quay can be developed.
The council received $9.88million
last year from the Provincial Growth
Fund to redevelop the quay and a
further $1m for afeasibility study for
development of South Bay’s harbour.
The Kaikoura Marine Development
Project has now reached the design
concept phase, with feedback closing
on Friday, February 12.
The governance group overseeing
the project aims to create adevelopment
which celebrates the cultural
history and unique identity of the site.
It is also keen to provide
opportunities for economic growth and
community gathering spaces.
The quay was built in the early 1900s
for £7762. It served mostly as ahub for
commercial fishingrelated activities.
By 2016 it housed acommunityrun
aquarium and paua processing plant.
Over the years the buildings
deteriorated. The council hopes to
release project designs by midyear,
with construction to start in ayear.

Bonanza at pools
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Business is boomingatthe Hanmer
Springs Thermal Poolsand Spa. It has
enjoyed arecord ChristmasJanuary
season.
The pools had its highestever number
of consumers in the 37 days from
Christmas to the end of January, general
manager GraemeAbbot said.
This represented 2percent growth
over the sameperiod last year—and
‘‘last yearwas out biggestyear’’.
‘‘We are rapt.Very happy and
somewhatrelieved.’’
The pools generateda$1,865,142
surplus for the six months to December
31, instead of the budgeted $1m deficit.
However, it had to be viewedinthe
context of budgetinginthe middle of the
Covid19 lockdown.
The surplus had to be tempered with
reduced hours for alarge part of the
time,which reducedoperating and staff
costs. At the same time, repairsand
renewals were cut back.
‘‘I am delighted the assumptions we
made at that timeproved to be
incorrect.’’ People came backindroves
to the poolsafter lockdown, he said.
This generated growth in numbers
and revenue. ‘‘We thought therewould
be areluctance by people to travel, and
to sit next to eachother. But our
Christchurch market cameback from
day one afterlockdown, and the North
Island hasyielded big numbers since
November.’’
He says SouthIsland road trips have
been popular with NorthIslanders.
Mr Abbot says he expectsgood
numbers overWaitangiweekend.

Year off to busy start
With school goingback, my wifeand Iare
excited for our youngestchild starting
school this year.
It’s amazingtothink of our childrenat
school. Where has all that timegone? I
know there willbeplenty of parents like
us looking forward to the openingof
school.
On Friday, Iwent to Woodendtohave
alook at the new signalisedcrossing at
Woodend School.
Iwas delighted to see it built and
operational in time for the new school
year.
Our residents foughthard for this,
holding the New Zealand Transport
Agency to account at my public meeting
last year, and many parents will be
relieved thattheir child’swalk to school
is now alot safer.
It’s been abusy start to the year.
Many wouldhave seen my petition to
reverse the speed limitsonMarshland
Road.I’ve been overwhelmed by the
thousands of responses fromfrustrated
people. You can read more on thisat
national.org.nz/reinstatespeedlimitonmarshlandroad.
Ihave also started adiscussion with
our communities around the potential for
anew highschool for Waimakariri. With
the Ravenswoodtown centre plan going
out for community consultation, it poses
thequestion of whetherland shouldbe
protected now, to allow for anew high
school as ourpopulation continues to
grow. I’ve had alot of feedback on this, so
please let me know yourviews.
Some of you may be awareofanissue

faced a$500 bill to get home by taxiafter

me knowifyou weren’t offered ataxi chit.
Mediareportsofincreased antisocial
behaviour in our communities are
concerning.While it’s reassuring to hear
from the policethat Waimakaririhas a
lowcrime rate when considered against
national statistics,Ithinkit’s fairtosay

something we regard as normal. It’s
important we lookout for ourneighbours,

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor
Many challenges in
balancing spending
The start of the year has come and gone,
and the council and Ihave beenbusy
setting priorities and the work
programme for thecomingyears.
Last week, the councilfinalised its
draft10year budget, or draft Long Term
Plan (LTP), whichwill be releasedfor
public consultation in March.
The LTP is the council’s key strategic
document and sets out projects and
priorities, as wellashow much it will
cost and howitwill be funded.
Over the next 10 years the councilis
focused on making sure we keep up with
growth, Covid19 economic recovery,
climate change/sustainability, and the
impact of the Government’s three waters
review.
We willspecifically be asking for
feedbackon:
New community facilitiesfor Pegasus
and north Woodend (Ravenswood);
The timing of upgrades to the
Rangiora Library and wider civic area;
and
Parking in Rangiora, includingacarpark
building.
The big challengefacing our districtis
balancingagrowing population—we
expect to have about78,000 residents in
10 yearsand possibly up to 100,000 by
2050 —whilemaking surewehave a
healthy environment,resilient
infrastructure, and remainanattractive
placefor businessesand new residents.
We’realso conscious thatthis LTP
takesplaceatatime of economic
uncertainty, and with possible changes
to how services such as wastewater and
drinkingwaterare managed.
For thesereasons, we have had to
carefullybalance whatthe community
can afford and the impacts on
households, withoutdelayingbuilding
core community facilities.
The proposed ratesincrease,ifthe
draftLTP is supported,is3.95 percent in
the first year before movingto4.2% for
the followingyears.
From whatIunderstand we willhave
one of the lowestproposed rate
increasesacrossthe country.But we will
continuetolook at ways that the council
can be efficient and makesavings.
The council has abusy programme
with projects such as the new stadium
scheduledtobecompleted aroundJuly,
roadingprojects includingFlaxton
Roadupgrades, and anew roundabout
at Fernside/FlaxtonRoad.
We will continue to lobbyGovernment
and the NewZealand Transport Agency
for the Woodend bypassand a
replacement Skewbridge.
Planning is under way for both an east
and west bypass of Rangiora, and we are
investigatingoptions to address traffic
congestion in Southbrook, which carries
about 26,000 vehicle movementsaday.
Apriority this year sees asafer
crossing for Southbrook School
students.
Withstimulus funding announced last
year, we havebeen working with
communities acrossthe districtto
identify $8 millionofwaterand
wastewaterupgrades.
The council also received $9m to
upgrade flood protection and mitigation
projects for Kaiapoi, conditional on the
samecontributionfrom the council.
The $18m project is well underway.
It is greattosee the new lightsand an
operational pedestrian crossing in
Woodend.Ithas been along time
coming. It is pleasing that there is now a
safecrossing for school students.
Thishas been aproject that has come
about through effectiveadvocacy with
the transport agency.
The community and Woodend School
can take huge creditfor this.
We now need the agency to confirma
timetablefor the remaining roading
improvements through Woodend.
We will continue to keep pushing for
this, along with further TramRoad
safety improvements.
Lastweek,credit ratingagency
Standard and Poor’s confirmed its AA
longtermand A1+ shortterm credit
rating with astableoutlookfor the
council.This reflects the prudent
financialmanagement of the council.
The draft LTP will open for feedback
fromearly March.Wewant to hear your
thoughtsand welcome feedback.

School's back -think safety
Young ones are back to their daily school commute. Road
Safety Coordinator, Dean Eades said remember the
golden rule ’20 Keither way’ -drop your speed to 20km/h
when going past aschool bus. Look out for ‘safe route to
school’ signs dotted around -well used options for school
commuters. Kiwirail will be hosting education sessions for
schools about safe behaviour this week. Always stop at a
train track and look. Hurunui District Council works closely
with its local schools, Waka Kotahi New Zealand
Transport Agency (NZTA), police, Kiwirail, NZ Trucking
Association, AA New Zealand, ACC, plus more, to create
safer driving environments and effective public messaging
-all in the name of keeping our community safe.
Speed educationapproach
Areminder that the Speed Limits Bylaw 2020 came into
play on Tuesday. You will notice some adjusted speed
signs dotted around the Hurunui district. Amessage from
local police; ‘For the first couple of weeks there will be a
grace period where we stop and educate, rather than
prosecute, to change local behaviour.’ Thank you in
advance to everyone for their cooperation.
MTFJ in fullswing
Abig thanks to the local businesses who have recruited
from the Mayoral Taskforce For Jobs (MTFJ) pool of youth

Scargill Pavilionnearfinished
We're into 2021 and HDC is full swing with its earthquake
strengthening and renovation work. Scargill Pavilion, (pictured
above) is just about finished, with abit of new decking and
earthworks to go. The entire building has been strengthened
and renovated, and there has been a50sqm extension. The
work on the Waiau Hall will be completed in about six weeks.
Hanmer Memorial Hall is next on the list after that. Many
thanks to Waghorn Builders for the great work.
"Your Council is interested in hearing
your views on how you envisage your
water assets being governed in the
future. We look forward to consulting
you before any decisions are made on
this matter."
Awordfrom your CEO, Hamish Dobbie
The recent tyre fire at Racecourse Road highlighted once again
the reliance of our communities on water. Thanks to good
planning and communications within FENZ and Environment
Canterbury, no water or retardants were used directly on the
fire to reduce the potential impacts on both private and public
drinking water supplies. All drinking water supplies are
significant to those who use them, and in the dry areas of North
Canterbury where water can be scarce, these supplies are
even more significant. The government is proposing that water
assets transfer from local government to newly formed crown
entities, claiming this will be more efficient than local councils
and will have the ability to borrow more to fund the upgrades
that the government believes will be required inthe future to
meet the tougher compliance standards it is proposing to set.
Further, the government is of the view that costs can be
socialised between more populous metropolitan centres and
those rural areas with more dispersed populations, providing
greater consistency in the costs of three waters services
nationally. This socialising of costs may look attractive to some
in our area, particularly when we look at the future cost of
drinking water. The cost benefit picture does not look to be as
clear or compelling for waste water and storm water though, as
the future costs for these waters contain many more unknowns
than is the case for drinking water. In order to transfer these
services from local government, central government is
contemplating changes to the Local Government Act to remove
the necessity for mandatory community consultation on this
issue. You will be able to have your say on any potential
changes to the act through the normal central government
process. More importantly, your Council is interested in hearing
your views on how you envisage your water assets being
governed in the future. We look forward to consulting you
before any decisions are made on this matter.

Sun and fun fills village family day
The heat was on during the
Charles Upham village
family fun day in Rangiora.
The temperature rose
well into the 30s, with many
finding acool spot around
the lawn or in the central
courtyard.
The theme was fairies
and fairytales, though
there were afew pirates
spotted among the young
dressup set.
There were tunes
blasting on the village
speakers, including
Monkey Man by The
Specials and Hot Potato by
The Wiggles.
Everyone let their hair
down, though hats were
also the order the day.
The crowd was also sun
smart, and plenty of cool
drinks were handed out.
Village staff and their
families joined the fun and
handed out popcorn, candy
floss, fairy bread and hot
chips.
For the young, there
were attractions such as a
bouncy castle, snakes and
ladders and pony rides.
Village concierge Lizz
Read dazzled the children
with her fairy outfit and
activities coordinator
Mealofa Faimalo drew out
the biggest of bubbles with
his magic wand.
Assistant to the manager
Amy Amtman and clinical
manager Madelyn
Premacio were the dance
crew and barbecue host.

Fun season of junior
rugby lies ahead
About127 rugby teams from under6 to
under18 are expected to playinthe
NorthCanterbury juniorrugby
competition this season.
NorthCanterbury Rugby manager
CraigMullansays it is hopedplayer
numbers willreturn to thelevels seen
before lastyear’s Covid19 lockdown,
whichhad abig impact on numbers.
Game On is backagainin2021.
This initiative provides arange of
game modifications, which can include
smaller sides,rollingsubstitutions and
uncontested scrums.
Rugbymatcheswithinmost grades
may be played under the Game On
approach, whereateamhas 15 and/or
fewerplayers, or doesn’t have enough
frontrowers.
Mr Mullan says Game On means that
more rugby games kick off.
The approach aims to limitthe
number of defaultsinschool and club
rugbybecause of too few front rowers or
players.
‘‘Rugby players want to playthe game
they love, and GameOnmakes sure that
happens,’’ Mr Mullan says.
Agreement must be reachedwith
teamsand match officials before the
startofthe match.
RipRugby, agame for all juniorrugby
players,will continuethis season for
years6and 7, and 8and 9yearolds.
It is noncontactand easytoplay.
❛Rugby playerswant to play
the game they love, and
‘Game On’ makes sure that
happens.❜
—Craig Mullan
‘‘Best of all, it’s fun and excitingfor
everyone.
‘‘While the rulesare simple and the
game easy to learn, RipRugby promotes
excellent ball handling and running
skills and givesall players achanceto
participate in agamesimilar to rugby
7s,’’MrMullan says.
Thereisabig push by the North
Canterbury RugbySub Union to again
caterfor girls.
Girlscan play in mixed teams up until
the under13 grade.
This yearthereisalso the opportunity
to compete in the new under13 female
grade.
Mr Mullansays thisgrade could
possibly compete with teams outside of
the subunion area, but it willdependon
the number of teams registering, as to
the final makeup of the competition.
Thereisalso an under17 women’s
grade, and asenior women’s grade.
The JAB competition startsonMay 1.
High hopes ... Organisers hope that junior player numbers will recover to those seen
before last year’s lockdown to control Covid19.
NORTH CANTERBURY JAB REGISTRATIONS
The North Canterbury News, February 4, 2021
Junior format afun way to enjoy rugby
17
NorthCanterbury rugby clubs provide a
greatplatform to introduce players to the
sportand avenuefor people to meet
others from their district.
Budding youngrugby players, both girls
and boys, are now being invited to come
forward and register with their chosen
club for JAB rugby in North Canterbury.
Youngplayers are fostered through the
Junior AdvisoryBoard(JAB),which has
cleargoals and codes in place to ensure
youngplayers enjoythe gameinasafe
environment, while learningthe basic
skills required.
Childrenofall ages can join clubs and
experience countryrugby. It also provides
the opportunitytomeet others fromthe
localcommunity, especially for those new
to the area.
Country rugby has long provided the
recipe for people to enjoy not justthe
sport, but also country hospitality.
The whole family,including
grandparents, can come along and watch,
and are welcome to help behindthe
scenes with catering, washing gear, or just
supporting the young players.
Clubsare all run by volunteers who
pitchintohelp make sure everything runs
smoothlyand helpwith fundraising. Some
take up the whistletoassist with
refereeing,ensuring the games can go on.
Others offer theirskills as acoachso
youngplayers get agood grounding in the
rulesand regulations.
The sport,like most others, cannot
function without these volunteers. People
who can offer refereeing are becoming
particularly important.
Ahandbook is available through the
CanterburyRugby Football Union to guide
parentswhen their kidsstart to playrugby.
It setsout all the clubs available in
North Canterbury, contacts, grounds, and
the various rules surrounding age
grouping and weights, and the codes of
behaviour expected from spectators,
playersand coaches.
Thecode of behaviour for players
stipulates thatplayers takepart for
enjoyment, playhard but fair, abide by the
lawsofthe game, remain committed to
their team andattend all practicesand
matches, never argue withthe referee,
control their temperatall times, work
equally hard for themselves and the team,
be agood sport,and applaud good play
whetherbytheir team or their
opponents.
Spectators are also asked to show
respect for both teams, be positive to the
referee,acknowledge the efforts of the
referee,and let players play theirgame,
‘‘not your game’’.
‘‘Praiseefforts not results and set an
example for the players,’’ the code says.
Thecode of behaviour for coaches asks
them to positivelyreinforce the actions of
players, lead by example, and be honest
with themselvesand the players.
It alsostresses thatthey should create
an enjoyable environmentinwhichtoplay
thegame, develop teamrespectfor
referees, and give all players the
opportunity to participate.
Coaches should insistonfair play and
discipline, be reasonable with their
demands on players’time, energy and
enthusiasm, and encourage
sportsmanship.
Good times ... JAB rugby provides afunfilled experience for junior grades. The
Southbrook Sparkers had ahoot in the 2018 competition.

“The latest Situation andOutlook for

Forestry MinisterStuart Nashsays
forestry exportsare showinggood signsof

“Strong demandfor logsfrom China

“Exports are expected to increase by

‘‘Producers areworkingtokeepstaff

“However, thisshouldbeoffsetbyhigh

Wood fibre central to

New Zealand’s forestrysectoris
investing in biofuels.
Forestry NewZealand is moving
ahead with the next stage of research
into creating aNew Zealandbiofuels

director of sector investments,Jason

‘‘The Wood Fibre Futuresproject

‘‘Havingidentified the options,weare

businesscases for attracting
international investors to New

Mr Wilsonsays thereisconsiderable
interest in biofuels andbiomass energy
from organisationssuch as AirNew

‘‘Wearenow putting out atender,
seeking an organisation with extensive

Thesebusinesscasesare expected to

Thepriority products include

suchas wood pellets.
‘‘Wehave ahuge amount of pinein

No record highs at ewe fair, but sales sound
By DAVID HILL
Bidding was strong at the Hawarden
Ewe Fair last Friday.
While ewe numbers were down and
there were no record bids, there was
some ‘‘pretty sound’’ selling throughout
the day, Peter Walsh &Associates
auctioneer Allister Orchard said.
The day’s top price was $234 for alineup
of twotooth ewes in pen two offered
by Christophersen Ltd, of Hawarden —
well short of prices in excess of $280
paid in recent years.
About 13,000 ewes went under the
In full cry ... Peter Walsh &Associates
auctioneer Allister Orchard accepts abid.
hammer this year, less than half the
numbers on sale at last year’s twoday
ewe fair.
‘‘I would have thought that the top end
of the twotooths may have made some
bigger money, but we more than made
up for it with the prices for mixedage
ewes,’’ Mr Orchard said.
‘‘I think with the mixedage and older
ewes, the buyers know they have higher
lambing percentages, so they’re looking
for proven performers.’’
Several pens of twotooth ewes sold
for around $200 each, while mixed age
ewes sold for $160 to $190, and annual
draft ewes fetched $160 to $180.
‘‘We had agood gallery of buyers right
through to the end, so most vendors
should be pretty happy with today’s
results,’’ Mr Orchard said.
The lower ewe numbers were put
down to uncertainty around Covid19,
farmers having plenty of feed, and the
fact that no capital lines of stock were
offered this year.
‘‘This season has certainly been one
out of the blocks, with plenty of feed
around which gives farmers abit more
confidence,’’ Mr Orchard said.
Several farmers would have gone
home without buying some ewes
because of the lower numbers, so it
should create plenty of interest for the
Sheffield Ewe Fair on Friday, February
12, Mr Orchard said.
While the catalogue is yet to be
confirmed, indications are there will be
more than 15,000 ewes offered at the
Sheffield Saleyards. That would be
down on last year, when the sale had to
be split between two saleyards.

Zak on attack was not enough
By LINDSAY KERR
The heroic efforts of
Darfield teenager Zak
Foulkescould not save
Canterbury Country
cricketfrom defeat in its
Hawke Cup defence
against Nelson at
MainPower Ovallast
weekend.
Country, in an often
predictably tense
encounter, had every
reason to feel confident,
having beaten its
opponents in the zone
preliminary match in
Nelson earlier in the
season.
Batting first, the
visitors wereinearly
trouble when the Country
bowling attack had them
at 4/57 before Nick Clark
and Jo O’Connor came
together and took full
advantage of five
droppedcatches and a
flattening pitch to add a
271runpartnership.
Both batsmen recorded
centuries before Clark
was dismissed.
Once the breakthrough
was made,the innings
quickly folded, with the
team total restricted to
365.
Foulkes finished with
six Nelson wickets for 88
runs.
With the state of the
pitch clearly favouring
CRICKET
batting, Country felt
confident the Nelson
total was achievable.
However, in afashion
similar to the
challengers, early
wickets came in quick
succession and, at 111 for
7, the target looked along
way off.
That was before
Foulkes cametothe
crease.
He joined Jo Williams
and the pair took the total
to 162 before Williams
departed. Sefton’s Fraser
Sheet then joined
Foulkes. They
methodicallywent about
adding 117 to the total,
and aglimmer of hope
began to appear. Sam
Chamberlain came in at
No. 11 afterSheet was
dismissed, and like the
bowlers before him went
about his job with a
degree of confidence.
The end came as a
surprise, with both
batsmen appearing
comfortable and their
target only 40 runs away.
Nelson batted again,
but any thoughts Country
had of dismissing them
cheaply did not eventuate
and, with only one wicket
falling, stumpswere
drawn and the cup
Form with bat and ball ... Zak Foulkes’ fine allaround
performance was unable to save the Canterbury Country
cricket team from aloss.

Matt claimstitle
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Localproduction saloon
driver Matt Sherlock has
been crowned New
Zealand champion.
Sherlock, aged24,
claimed the honouratthe
New Zealand Production
Saloon Championshipsin
Whanganui last month.
In doing so, the
Kaiapoibased driver
made history by
becoming the first person
in the class to take third,
second andfinally first
placeinthe
championships which
have been runningfor
four years.
He now gets to display
1NZ on his car for the
year.
‘‘I am stoked. Ihave the
wholetrifecta,’’ says
Sherlock, who won the
championshipbythe
barest of margins —one
point.
Sherlockheaded north
with his Mitsubishi FTO
alongwith acouple of
others from Woodford
Glen,striving to make the
top 20 to qualifyfor the
finals.
‘‘It was very hardwork,
and very competitive,’’
said Sherlock, whose two
brothers crewed.
‘‘We do it as afamily
sport. We all love the
enjoyment.’’
Sherlock givesalot of
credittohis sponsors,
who give him ‘‘massive
support’’.
The battle came down
to amammoth tussle
between BrentHackett
from Whanganui and
Sherlock, who ultimately
prevailed.

What’s happening in your
community…
Waitangi Day Events inKaiapoi
The weather is looking great for people who want
to get out and about this Waitangi Day weekend
with two events happening in Kaiapoi.
Starting at 10am join in the annual Waitangi Day
celebrations at Trousselot Park in Kaiapoi.
Chris Greengrass, Chair of All Together Kaiapoi
says, “This is your chance to take part in amass
haka led by Kaiapoi High School –you can learn
more on the day with the students and join in with
Tēnei te rūrū (Tahu Pōtiki). We would love to see
heaps of people there.”
With free entry and heaps of live entertainment
as well as market and food stalls, bouncy castles,
pony rides, face painting, flip out air tracks and
photo booth there is something for everyone.
And you can always pre-order the infamous Kaiapoi
High School Hangi from the Kaiapoi i-Site for $10 –
this isalways very popular and sells out every year
making itagreat fundraiser for the school.
If you’re more of asports fan you can pop down
to the opening of the soball diamonds at the
Norman Kirk Park from lunchtime onSaturday.
Duncan Roxborough, Implementation Project
Manager says, “This opening of the diamonds sees
the last big project delivered in the Norman Kirk
Park from Council’s District Regeneration Team.
It is great to see the community’s vision for this
area coming alive and being used by the Kaiapoi
Soball Club.”
Mayor Dan Gordon will officially open the
diamonds with aceremonial first pitch and the
public are welcome to come and watch the premier
games being played in the aernoon. And it’s a
great opportunity to learn more about soball and
maybe give itago.
Council Maintains aHigh Standard and
Poor’s Credit Rating
Credit rating agency Standard and Poor's has
confirmed its AA long-term and A-1+ short-term
credit rating with astable outlook for Waimakariri
District Council.
The AA rating equates the Council with New
Zealand’s national credit rating –the ‘sovereign
rating’. Standard and Poor’s does not rate any
individual Council higher than the sovereign rating.
Mayor Dan Gordon says the result speaks to the
prudent financial management ofthe Council.
“We have afantastic team who do agreat job
making sure our finances are exceptionally
managed and we appropriately balance our goals
and aspirations for the District while keeping debt
and affordability in check.”
The stable outlook is based on Standard and Poor’s
view that Council’s debt will significantly reduce
aer it completes its significant capital
work programme in 2022. The programme
includes delivering amulti-court indoor facility,
flood protection and mitigation projects for
Kaiapoi, creating park and ride facilities
district-wide, shovel-ready and stimulus funded
water infrastructure projects and western road
route upgrades.
