By SHELLEY TOPP
Agleaming 1914 Ford Model Twas one of
the star attractionsatthe Rangiora
RSA’sVintage Car and TractorRally.
The annualcarshow fundraiser was
held last Saturday, beginning in the
Rangiora RSA car park,then movingto
the Loburn Reserve.
At the end of the show, the cars were
takenonatour through the Charles
UphamRetirement Village during the
returntrip to Rangiora, to the enjoyment
of residents.
The Model Tisowned by Bill
Woodhouse,ofRangiora, who bought the
restored vintage beauty 12 months ago.
Duringlast year’slockdown, he built a
miniatureversion for hissixyearold
grandson, Braxton. Bill also owns a1929
Ford Model A.
A1937 Lanz Bulldogtractor, ownedby
Phil Kerr,ofWest Melton, alsoattracted
alot of attention.
Car show organiser Ros Steans said 67
carsand 14 vintage tractors took part.
Entries wereslightly down on last year,
which she thoughtmightbebecause of
the long Waitangi Day weekend.
The Rangiora Pottery Group also took
part, providing the catering at the
reserveasafundraiser. Members also
had someoftheirpottery work on sale.
The group's tutor, Michael Michaels,
gavepotterymaking demonstrations
during the day.
Social media can raise perceptions that
some North Canterbury communities are
hotspots for crime.
But Inspector PeterCooper, the Rural
Canterbury area police commander, says
crimerates in the Waimakariri and
Hurunui districts are among the lowest
in the country.
Mr Cooper, respondingtosocial media
claims of risingcrime in parts of North
Canterbury, says theyare notborneout
by statistics.
The Rural Canterbury policing area
covers the Waimakariri,Hurunui,
Selwyn and BanksPeninsula districts,
with atotal population of 154,000people.
‘‘We don’t liveinadangerous
community. It’sagreat placetobring up
kids,’’ says Mr Cooper,who has lived in
Rangiora for more than20years.
‘‘Social media cancontributetothe
perception and fearofcrime and we
don’tignore that.People’s perceptions
are very realand they needtofeel safe in
their communities.’’
But Facebookisnot acrimerecording
mechanism whichthe police followup
on, he says.
‘‘Police can only deal with real
information. If the communitylets us
know what’sgoing on, we can respond.’’
Much of the crime reported on social
mediarelates to cars being stolenor
broken into.Most were parked on the
street with itemsleft in them, he noted.

Angelique Hyde, alongtime

nonstop to cover the fire, with
thehelp of friends.
Thecommunity was on
tenterhooks when the fire
broke out. They feared it would
spread or drop toxic wasteon
homes, crops, vineyards and
vegetable gardens, or affect the
contents of rainwatertanks.
No water or foamwas used
on the fire because of concerns
forthe local watersupply. Fire

groundwater samples have

hoped to have them back by

Bush awelcome home for rare mistletoes
Tiromoana Bush, alongside the Kate
Valley landfill, is providing the precise
conditions required for the growth of
three unusual native mistletoes, an
expert on the reserve says.
The mistletoes are among
more than 200 species of
native plants growing in the
bush.
What makes these
mistletoes so extraordinary is
that, unlike most plants, they
cannot germinate on the
ground.
Instead, they need their
seeds to be spread by birds to
the correct host tree where
their ‘‘roots’’, called
haustoria, grow into the
branches and extract all the water and
nutrients they need to survive from their
host species.
Under threat ... White mistletoe is
considered at risk and is considered to be
declining nationally.
David Norton
They are picky about the trees they
choose to live on.
Professor David Norton, from the
University of Canterbury’s School of
Forestry and author of The Tiromoana
Bush Restoration Management
Plan, says it is pretty special to
have three mistletoe species in
Tiromoana Bush, considering
the exacting conditions
required for their growth.
“So many factors have to
come together to enable our
rare native mistletoes to
survive,’’ he says.
“Birds are required to
spread their seeds, and
deposit them accurately on to
specific native hosts for them
to establish and grow. For example,
dwarf mistletoe only grows on kanuka,
making it incredibly rare, yet a
significant number are growing in
Tiromoana Bush.”
The three species of mistletoe are the
dwarf mistletoe (Korthalsella
salicornioides)which occurs only on
kanuka, white mistletoe or tapia (Tupeia
Antarctic), which occurs on fivefinger,
and green mistletoe or pikirangi
(Ileostylus micranthus), found on
mingimingi, matagouri and afew other
hosts.
Professor Norton says dwarf mistletoe
is the rarest of the three, nationally.
It appears to be anaturally uncommon
and biologically sparse species, and is
considered critically endangered.
It is ranked Nationally Critical, the
highest threat level in New Zealand,
because of concerns its main host

species, kanuka, might be affected by
myrtle rust.
White mistletoe is ranked as At Risk
Declining nationally, and is also sparse
in many areas of New Zealand.
Green mistletoe is widely distributed
nationally and the most common species
in the bush.
Tiromoana Bush and the native forest
restoration project are owned and
funded by Transwaste Canterbury,
which owns and operates Kate Valley,
near Waipara.
The bush is open free of charge to the
public to experience aregenerating

Council backs
plan for more
housing land
By DAVID HILL
The Waimakariri District
Council is backing aproposed
change to the Canterbury
RegionalPolicy Statement,
whichwill allow more
residentialland to be released
in Rangiora and Kaiapoi.
Councillorsvoted at last
week’s council meeting to make
asubmission supporting
EnvironmentCanterbury’s
proposed change to chapter six
of the RegionalPolicy
Statement.
The proposed change will
allowfor rezoningfor new
housing developments in
Rolleston, Rangiora and
Kaiapoi to support projected
populationgrowth over the
next 30 years.
The Waimakariri district’s
populationisprojected to grow
from 64,700 (as at June 30, 2020)
to 78,400 in 2031, andhit
100,000 by 2051.
Growth at that levelmeans
around 4800 new houses need
to be built over the nextdecade
and more than 12,000 new
houses by 2051.
The change is likely to lead to
higher housing density in the
Waimakariridistrict, whichthe
council tentativelyagreedtoas
part of the Our Space 20182048:
Greater Christchurch Settlement
Pattern document in 2018, chief
executive Jim Palmersaid.
‘‘Through the Our Space
document we did sign up to
higherdensities, from 10
householdsper hectare to 12
householdsper hectare. We
just didn’tspecify how that
would work.’’
Development planning
manager Trevor Ellis said the
prospect of higherdensity
housing is something which is
being constantly grappled with
as the populationgrows. ‘‘We
are under continual pressure
aroundaway of thinking and of
providinghigher density
housing. At the momentit’s
mainlyaround affordability,
but it’s also coming with the
Climate ChangeCommission’s
recommendations.
‘‘We do have different zones.
We have different residential
zones and ruralzones and we
have recommendedminimums
which offer choice.
‘‘But developersmay choose
to do somethingdifferent, by
offeringlarger lots or multiunits
on one section,
depending on what theythink
will sell.’’
The proposed change was
notified on January 16 and
submissions close on Monday.

Massive tyre blaze was
aconfronting sight
It would remiss of me not to
acknowledge the community of
Amberley, and beyond, in regard to the
recent tyre fire.
Iwas informed of the fire at 3.20pm
on the Friday and was on site by 4pm.
It was confronting to witness, and I
appreciate the concern of those close
by, for what they were experiencing.
Iwould like to pay tribute to the
firefighters from near and far who
placed themselves in the ‘‘line of fire’’
to protect property.
What Iobserved were the fire teams
working in unison under extreme heat
and difficult conditions.
Iappreciate that those who live and
work near the site have concerns in
regard to their own wellbeing, and that
of their animals.
Given that asolution was about to be
realised for the tyre removal, it is now
critical that you are aware of the
remediation details.
To provide an opportunity for
feedback, apublic meeting was hosted
at short notice on Saturday, January 30,
and asubsequent meeting will be held
on Thursday, February 11, at 6pm at the
Tin Shed in Amberley.
Itrust many of you will follow the
regular updates on the Hurunui
District Council website that are
received from Environment
Canterbury and the Canterbury District
Health Board.
Iattended the Canterbury Mayoral
Forum on February 5, where we met
with the chairs from each runanga
across Canterbury.
This was an opportunity to begin to
build, or further develop our
relationship with Ngai Tahu.

Around the electorate with
STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA
Path to acleaner future
It was no surprise to anyone that the
Climate Change Commission’s recent
report found that we are not meeting our
emissions targets.
As Ipredicted, the commission has
recommended that the government
introduce araft of new policies.
Iwrote before the release that it is
imperative that the Government does
not meddle with the freedoms of New
Zealanders and finds solutions to
achieving net zero carbon emissions
using effective and rational policy.
Fortunately, the commission’s report
shows that with acarbon price of just $35
per tonne, we will be 85 percent of the
way to net zero by 2050, and with a
carbon price of $50 we get all the way to
net zero, including agriculture, for longlived
emissions.
The carbon price today is already at
$38 per tonne, so it is not an
insurmountable goal and shows the
effectiveness of the Emissions Trading
Scheme.
There is no need to pursue atop down
approach to reducing emissions as many
studies have shown it to be needlessly
costly and ineffective.
Some may be prepared to pay the cost
to run asevenseat sports utility vehicle
for their large family; others will trade
them in for asmaller electric vehicle.

strengthening
Some will invest in solar water
heating, while others will continue with
their Infinity hot water system. But there
is no need to ban things, or introduce
fees or rebates. The appropriate carbon
price will lead to everyday decisions to
lower emissions in response to cost.
There are always going to be ways to
lower emissions effectively that have not
occurred to the commission, and that is
why the Emissions Trading Scheme
should be left to do its work in the
background, rather than to expect Big
Brother to tell us what to do.
For example, it may well be more
efficient to heat water in some homes
with an existing gas system rather than
electricity, which may be generated by a
gas power plant with up to 12% losses
through the distribution network.
This is all about being practical and
finding the best solution, rather than
seeking ideological nirvana, that in the
end will always lead to an insecure
power supply and other such problems.
The agenda for the government has
now become quite clear, based on the
commission’s statistics. Use acommonsense
approach, use the Emissions
Trading Scheme so that people can
make their own decisions, and don’t
meddle with people’s freedoms. It’s as
simple as that.

Rail safety
explained
The Hurunui District Council has
partnered with localagencies and
schoolcommunities near railway
crossings to promote track safety.
The council is working with Kiwi
Rail, TrackSAFE, the police,Fire and
EmergencyNew Zealand and St John
on the initiative.
Council road safety coordinator
Dean Eades says the interactive
education sessions, which coincided
with the firstcouple of daysback in the
classroom, enjoyedagreat turnout.
Studentsand caregivers learned
aboutsafe walkingand driving
behaviouraround railway crossings
and railway lines.
Coincidentally,during one of the
sessions, afreighttrain rolled by.
“It proves apoint thatyou need to be
awareatall times around railway
tracks,” Dean says.
People could stay safe by remembering
afew important tips, he said.
Dean sayslargetrains travel at
various speeds depending on whether
they are in an urban or ruralsetting.
“Don’t underestimate their poweror
speed. Trains can take along timeto
stop,whateverspeed they’regoing,
sometimes taking hundreds of metres
in some cases, depending on their
length.”
Levelcrossings are there for a
reason, he says, and takingshortcutsis
neveragood idea.
“Lookand listen in both directions
and remember to wait until all warning
signsand bells havestoppedbefore
crossing –there may be asecond train.”
Dean is lookingforwardtofurther

Anew speed limitof60kmh is to
be imposed on Main North Road,

improve road safety.
Councillorsvoted to approve
the newlimit at last week’s
Waimakariri District Council

The new limit appliestoMain
NorthRoad from Kaiapoi to the
old WaimakaririRiver road
bridge.
It will also applyonDoubledays
Road,NeevesRoad,Wrights

Tram Road,from GreigsRoad to

Roading and transport manager

town entrance, which was
opposed by 51%.
But Ms McBride said a
submission from the police
recommended imposing a60kmh
limitalong the entire route.
The Christchurch City Council
recently imposedaspeed change
to the last section of Marshland
Road,from 70kmh to 60kmh,
meaning the entireroute from
Kaiapoi to Queen Elizabeth Drive
in Christchurch will now be
60kmh.
Apetition backedby
WaimakaririMPMatt Dooceyhas
been launched to oppose the new
Marshland Road limit.
Deputy MayorNeville Atkinson
backed the new limit, as the area
was becoming increasingly built
up with industry.
The new cycleway wasalso too
close to Main NorthRoadasit
approached Kaiapoi formotorists
to safely pass at 80kmh, he said.
‘‘The environmentrequires
taking the speed down and it’s
close to the cycleway and
walkway, the bus stop and traffic
lights.
‘‘We need to drop it to
something sensibleand Ithink
60kmh is sensible.’’
While they backedthe changes,
Crs PaulWilliams and Kirstyn
Barnettexpressed reservations.
‘‘I’m concerned about
constantly reducing speed limits
as it doesn’t seemtobereducing
the road toll. Ithinkit’s more
about educationratherthan the
speed limit,’’ Cr Williams said.
Cr Barnettsaid there needed to
be consistency.
‘‘The RangioraWoodend Road
is 80kmh, but there’s lots of
intersections including the five
roads intersection which pose
dangers.’’
The operating speedsonthese
roads will be surveyedwithin six
months of implementation,Ms
McBridesaid.

Road strategy aims
to cut congestion
By DAVID HILL
The WaimakaririDistrict Council is
continuing to investinroads as it looks
to reduce congestioncreatedbya
growing population.
The construction of bypasses for east
and west Rangioraisproposedaspart
of the council’s 2021/31Long Term
Plan (LTP).
The bypasses will support effortsto
reducetrafficcongestion in
Southbrook, which is thoughtto
experience more than 26,000 vehicle
movementsaday.
Other effortstoreduceSouthbrook
congestioninclude abid to the New
Zealand Transport Agency(NZTA)for
aset of traffic lights whereTorlesse
and Coronation streetsintersect with
SouthbrookRd.
Council staff have also been
developing proposals with the
RangioraAshley Community Board
and the Southbrookand Rangiora New
Life schools and the Kindercare
Learning Centretoimprove road
safety.
The proposed Skewbridge Road
bridgeupgrade has been pushedout to
later in the 10year LTP period, with
the council hopeful it will receive
NZTA funding,Mayor Dan Gordon
says.
The Skew bridge upgrade is
estimated to cost $12 million.
‘‘We continue to lobbyfor Skew
bridgeand the Woodendbypass, and
the reality is, if we can get NZTA on
board with the bridge replacement we
can bring it forward.
‘‘But sometimes that’sthe choice we
have to make. Does the ratepayer fully
fund it or do we wait for NZTA?
‘‘With Skew bridgeit’s asignificant
sum of money, so our priority is for
NZTA to supportit.’’
Work to upgradeFlaxton Road
throughthe Southbrookindustrial
area, and the construction of a
roundabout at the intersection of
Flaxtonand Fernside roads, beganlast
month.
Senior engineering adviser Don
Young says the projects will address
the many safety issuesaswell as cater
for the increasing amount of traffic
using Flaxton, Fernsideand Townsend
Roads to access westRangiora.
The work involves new kerbs,
parkingbays, footpaths and the
roundabout.This is creating delays
becauseofthe trafficvolumes, and the
councilencourages drivers to think
about using alternativeroutessuch as
Lineside Road.
FlaxtonRoad is closed to
northbound trafficbetween Fernside
Road and Kingsford SmithDrive.
Trafficisbeing diverted via
Townsend Road and South Belt, witha
temporary 30kmh speed limit in place.
Work will be completed in stages
until May,while the final asphalt
sealingisexpected to be completed
later in the year.

Traffic concerns voiced
By DAVID HILL
Residents of Buckleys Road in
Southbrook fear for their safety
because of impatient motorists.
Apetition signed by 34 of the 40
households in the street was presented
to last week’s Waimakariri District
Council meeting
It calls on the council to take action in
the face of increased traffic volumes
and speed.
Buckleys Road runs parallel to
Southbrook Road between Coronation
Street and South Belt, and is bearing
the impact of increased traffic
congestion in Southbrook.
‘‘I really can’t stress strongly enough
the depth of feeling of residents,’’
resident Maryanne Rouse told
councillors during adelegation to last
week’s council meeting.
‘‘After the installation of traffic lights
at South Belt/Southbrook Road and
PAK’nSAVE/Southbrook Road
intersections, the ‘cutthrough’ route of
Buckleys Road has increased
significantly.
‘‘As long term residents, we have
watched the speed levels increase,
particularly in the evening, and we
want the relevant authorities to
acknowledge that there are issues that
should be addressed.’’
She believes some motorists are
travelling at more than 80kmh.
Mrs Rouse and her neighbours, Grant
and Marg McAlpine, took apetition to
their fellow residents in November and
found all of the respondents were
concerned about the speed of vehicles,
as well as the safety of children and
pedestrians.
Mayor Dan Gordon asked council
staff to prepare areport on traffic in
Buckleys Road and Coronation Street.
The report would consider options
for slowing traffic, such as judder bars.

Abusiness year like no other
The 2020/21 financial yearhas proven to be
an unusual one for localaccountants.
Prosser QuirkeLtd director Geoff White
says an accountant’syear ‘‘normally runs
the same’’ from April to March,but Covid
19 changed thingscompletely.
The lockdown changedaccountants’
workloads, with some clientsneedinghelp
with refinancing and factoring in wage
subsidies in theirfinancial planning.
It meant the normal workload has been
pushed back. Now the race is on to
completetax returns before March 31.
‘‘While it’shard to take positives out of a
pandemic,overall North Canterbury as a
‘subeconomy’isactually probably one of
the safer regionsbecause we don’t rely
heavilyontourism.
‘‘Butthere are stillpeople struggling.
We’vehad clients in the tourism industry
who are now completely closed.
‘‘At the sametime we have building
companies who are the busiest they’ve
ever been, and in retail there’s extra
moneybeing spent locally.’’
The lockdown also had positives.It
allowed families to spendmore time
together and gave business ownerstime
for reflection. ‘‘It allowed business people
to sit back, ratherthan being so involved in
their business day in and day out,and look
at whatthey weredoing.’’
Getting back to relative normality has
allowed ProsserQuirkeLtd to getback to
supporting its localcommunity.
‘‘It was pretty hard on the community for
awhile,with no sport or community
events. But I’m pleased and proud of how
resilient our businesses have been.’’
Prosser QuirkeLtd recentlysigned on as
agold sponsor for the new MainPower
Stadium in Coldstream Road, Rangiora,
and the threedirectorsare all active in
supporting localcommunity organisations.
‘‘It’sanopportunity to support the
community. It’s really hard to support all
of ourclientsdirectly, outsideofour
normalrelationship. But if we do things
like that which supportthe community in
abroader sense it’sthe best way to do that.
‘‘Withthe stadium,ifitbrings 1000
peopleinto the community, that supports
our businesses and allows them to thrive.’’

Servant of the arts steps back
By SHELLEY TOPP
Rangiora’sBrianHoultis
scaling down his involvement
with the Waimakariri
CommunityArts Council
(WCAC) after more than 30
years.
He resigned as chairman
last December but will
continueasavolunteer on the
committee.
Fernside’sMirandaHales,
alongtime volunteer on the
arts council,has replaced
Brianaschair and will
continueascurator of the
exhibition programme.
Brianbeganvolunteering
for thearts council in 1987
when it was called the Ashley
Community Arts Council.
Initially,hehelped
Christopher Marshall
organiseclassical music
concertsinthe district, but
eventually established the art
exhibition programme.
He was also instrumental in
establishing the Waimakariri
Art Collection Trustin1995
and last year received the
newlyestablished Mayor’s
Awardfor exceptional service
to the Waimakariri
community.
Before joining the arts
council, Brian was aselfemployed
chemical engineer,
but afterhis parents died
within two years of each other
he sought achange of
direction.
Aboutthis time, Brian’s
Stalwart ... Brian Hoult has provided decades of support to the localarts community.
wife,Judith,ateacher,
returned to university. She
subsequently graduatedwith
an art historydegree,with
honours, and later got ajob at
Christchurch’s McDougall Art
Gallery as its first education
officer for schools. Brian later
joined Judith at the gallery,
training and working as a
guidefor 12 years.
‘‘This was significant
because it exposed me to the
art world,’’ he said. It also
gave him an insight intohow
art galleries function and how
exhibitionswere staged.
The experiencemade him
realise thatalthough there
weremany talented artists in
Waimakariri, the arts council
was not showcasing their
work. He wanted to change
thatsohebegan searching for
apermanent space for
regularexhibitions.
He thought abuilding in
PercivalStreet,which was
usedascouncil chambers
until 1966 and thenbecame

partofthe Rangiora Library,
would be suitable, but it was
earmarked fordemolition.
The council, ledbythen
mayor JaniceSkurr, voted to
incorporate it in the new
Trevor InchMemorial
Libraryasanart exhibition
space. The new library
openedinDecember 1996
and the arts council heldits
first artshow, Connections,in
the Chamber Gallery afew
weeks later. It has since
hosted 232 exhibitions.

Innovative
mower used
By SHELLEY TOPP
Arobot is being usedtoclear gorse,
blackberry bushes and otherunwanted
vegetation at Waimakariri’s Tuhaitara
Coastal Park.
The Italianmade mower, ownedby
Deltaand based at the infrastructure
specialist firm’s Rangiora branch in
NewnhamStreet, is operated by staff
member Joe Fraser.
The dieselpowered mower drives a
full hydraulicsystemand has a
13functionremote control unit.
The machine is capable of operatingat
60degree anglesinall directions, and
can be guidedfrom 100 metresaway.
The mower has also been used to
maintainthe grounds aroundthe historic
Kaiapoi Pa site.
‘‘It completed atrial at Tuhaitara
CoastalPark last November and
everyone was so impressed with what it
coulddothatitisnow beingput to
regular use at thislocation,’’ aDelta
spokesman said.
‘‘It is robustand very hardworking. We
are proud to be working smarter and
utilising new technologytoincrease safe
and efficient work practices.’’
Tuhaitara Coastal Park’sgeneral
manager Greg Byrnes said the park staff
maintained the Kaiapoi Pa on behalf of
the pa’s trustees and it was there where
they first saw the mower in use last year.
‘‘An area we wouldlikely have taken a
week to clearofblackberry and rank
grasswith scrub bars was completedin
around fourhours,’’ he said. ‘‘We could
not use atractor due to the sloping
nature of the terrain.’’ It was the skill of
Mr Fraserthat made the use of the
mowersosuccessful, he added.

Overseas students
await open borders
By DAVID HILL
Waimakariri schools expect an influx of
international students oncethe borders
reopen.
Whilemanystudents returned home
when NewZealandwentinto lockdown
lastyear,others optedtostay. Now, the
regionisbeingviewed as asafe
destination.
Oxford Area School has just one
international student at present, but
principal Mike Hart says there are many
in the pipeline.
Rangiora High School has eight
international students on campus, with
more than 60 waiting to come.
Kaiapoi High School has just two
foreign students, but international
manager Kristie Dutton anticipates
there couldbesignificant growth for
Canterburyschoolsinthe international
student market once theborders
reopen.
‘‘We’ve had lots of interestcoming
fromoverseas, withenquiries from Asia
and Germany for both longterm and
shortterm students.
‘‘Iamexpecting an influx once our
borders open as NewZealandand the
Governmenthavedone so well.’’
Meanwhile, communications are
continuing withagentsandprospective
students online, Kristie says.
Kaiapoi’s two overseas students are
fromJapan.Theyare in NewZealand on
threeyear programmes.
With the border being closed, the
students have been unable to return
home to visit theirfamilies,spending
thesummer in New Zealand.
‘‘While they obviously misstheir
families,botharehappy andwell
❛We’ve got 60odd students
waiting to come, mostly from
Germany and Japan, but we’ve
got no idea when we can let
them in or what quarantinewill
be required.❜
—Melissa Heyrick
adjusted withexcellent support from
hostfamilies, localfriends andthe
school,’’Kristie says.
Rangiora HighSchool’sinternational
director, Melissa Heyrick, says the eight
students on campus are allonlongterm
stays.Theyare from Korea, Dubai,
Thailand, Japan and Germany.
‘‘It’s quite normal forusforour
studentstostaylocally overthe summer,
butit’s quitechallengingfor them
knowingtheycan’t go home.
‘‘We’vegot 60odd students waitingto
come, mostly from Germany and Japan,
but we’ve got no ideawhenwecanlet
themin or whatquarantine will be
required.’’
For now, Melissa is running the
international department by herself,but
expectstobe able to increase staffing
again once the students return.
Before Covid19, international
education was considered one of New
Zealand’s biggest export earners.
As well as payingfees to their host
school, homestay families receive a
weekly sum to cover expenses, and
students and theirfamilies will often
spendmoney in the local community, as
wellasholidaying around New Zealand.

Festival atrue family occasion
Amberley’s Markham Street
hosts its second huge street
party on Saturday, February
13.
The family friendly
Summer Festival of the
Hurunui will run from 1pm to
7pm, providing fun,
entertainment, food, and the
chance to indulge in alot of
retail therapy.
Markham Street is the
oldest street in Amberley,
and was originally the heart
of the town.
It will be closed to traffic,
and about 60 stalls will line
the pavement for people to
enjoy.
AmberleyNZ spokeswoman
Claire Inkson says the
inaugural festival was
extremely popular last year.
This year the committee is
encouraging people to make
aday of it in Amberley.
Claire says the weekly
Farmers Market outside the
Hurunui District Council on
the main highway is
extending its hours, and
there are plenty of cafes and
shops for people to enjoy
before the festival begins at
1pm.
There will be live music,
including Assembly Required,
Willie McArthur and Epicenta.
The shops and cafes on
Markham Street will be open,
and people will be able to
enjoy craft beers, local wine,
and the market stalls.
There will be plenty of tasty
food on offer, with some
amazing food trucks
attending, including Base
Pizza from Christchurch.
Achildren’s area, run by
the Hurunui Youth Council,
will provide plenty of fun and
games for the young folk
attending, and the local fire
brigade will have its trucks
on display. St John will also
have astall.
Claire says many stallholders
from last year sent

messages of support for the
festival, expressing how
friendly it was and asking to
be involved again.
‘‘Feedback was so
positive,’’ she said.
The best part of last year
was seeing so many people
enjoying themselves, and
having so many volunteers
pitching in to help make the
day asuccess.
‘‘It is easy to look at the
news and see so much
negativity, but when we hold
events like this, all of the
community spirit and
kindness just flows, and it’s
that smalltown spirit that I
love. Amberley has it in
bucketloads.’’
The AmberleyNZ
committee had always
wanted to get afestival
running, and now has the
blueprint to allow it to
become annual event, which
includes getting an
application in early to allow
the road to be closed.

Work continues on rockfall protection
The North Canterbury
Transport Infrastructure
Recovery (NCTIR) Alliance is
winding down itswork
around Kaikoura, more than
four years afterthe November
2016 earthquake.
Asmall NCTIR teamgot
back on the road in early
January to continue work on
the final majorproject,a
rockfallprotectioncanopy
and drapedmesh fence just
southofPeketa.
The State Highway 1night
closures associated with this
rockfallwork are continuing
from Sunday to Thursday
underthe same timetable
(visit nzta.govt.nz/p2c formore
information).
Work on the rockfall
protectionprojecthas
progressed over summer.
Crew havebeen undertaking
shotcreting work, using
sprayableconcrete, to
stabilise and strengthen an
existing shotcrete layer,
whichwill sit beneath the
canopy structure.
Smallamountsofshotcrete
were also sprayed around the
base of the plinths where the
canopy postswill sit.
All of the 14 upslope
anchors have been drilled
and will now undergo two
weeksofsafety testing.
Downslope anchors are still
undergoing drilling and
grouting.
Over the next month,
helicopters willbring in more
mesh for the draped mesh
fence, and concrete barrier
installation will begin north
of the canopy site.
Asmall but dedicated team
is overseeing the
demobilisation and removal
of the NCTIRVillage, which
has beensold to Smith Crane
&Construction Ltd after a
tender process in December.
Removal of the 96 buildings
beganinmidJanuary and
was due for completionbythe
middle of this month.
Matt Shepherd, who heads
the NCTIR villageremoval
project, says,inMay 2017, the
buildingshad to be trucked in
through theInland Rd.
He notes it is somethingof
an achievement for the
NCTIRteam that someofthe
unitsare now able to return to
Christchurch via SH1.
‘‘Because NCTIRhas
standardised the heightand
widthofthe road tunnels
during the earthquake repair
works, it is now possible to
send these units back on
specialisedlow loader
trailers. ‘‘It’sabig win.’’
Once all of the buildings
have been removed, the land
will be reinstated.

can help you.
Roadsare being resealed around the
Waimakariri district.
The Waimakariri District Council is in
the midst of its summer road resurfacing
programme, with contractorsout and
aboutatOxford recently to chipseal
several roads.
They included Bay Road betweenMain
Street and Wilsons Road,Oxford Road
west of Cust between Steffens Road and
Starvation Hill Road,High Street between
Harewood Rd and MainStreet, Kowhai
Street, Park Ave and Commercial Rd,
between Depot Roadand Bath Street.
Sealing continued last week in Bay Road
and KowhaiStreet in Oxford.
This weekcrews will turntheir attention
to asectionofWilliams Streetnorth of
Magnolia Boulevard in Kaiapoi, Swindells
Road and Kiwi Ave in Waikuku, and
HighfieldLane in Rangiora.
The area is swept within48hours of
sealing, but asmall amount of ongoingchip
loss can be expected over the next three to
six months.
Council staff warn that driving too fast
on freshlysealed roads can cause the chips
to scatter, damaging carsand the road
surface.
Drivingtoo slow may result in the
vehicle sinking into thenew seal,and
bitumen and chips stickingtowheels.
Heavyuse of brakes in anewlysealed
area can resultindamage to vehicles and
the road surface too.
Motorists are advisedtoget ready by
slowing downtothe posted temporary
speedlimit before reaching the new chip
seal.
They should leave space to allow an
extracar’slengthdistance to develop
between their car and the vehicle in front.
Motorists are urged to drivesteadily at
the temporary speedlimit and pay
attention to the signage —30kmh is an
appropriate speed on new seal.
Drivers should avoidridingtheir brakes
and avoid getting so close to the car in front
that they havetobrakesuddenly. Brakes
should be tapped lightly, but only if the
driver has to.
Motorists are urged to be patientand are
askednot to pick up speeduntil afterthey
have left the road works zone.
The strategies willreducethe likelihood
of damage to paintwork and windscreens.
Vehicles travelling at the temporary
speedlimit help pressthe new chipinto
the seal.
This is an ongoing programme and local
motorists are encouraged to keepupto
date by following the Waimakariri District
Council’s page on Facebook.

Pines part of solution
By DAVID HILL
NorthCanterbury farm foresters would
like to see the benefits of pine trees
recognised in efforts to meet New
Zealand’sclimatechange targets.
Respondingtolast week’s Climate
Change Commission report, New
Zealand Farm Forestry Association
NorthCanterbury branchsecretary
Laurie Bennett says his branchis
concernedthat thepotential of radiata
pine has beenoverlooked.
The report setsnew emissionstargets
and makes recommendations, including
climatefriendly farmingpractices and
establishing more permanent forests,
predominantly natives.
‘‘Radiata pine provides afast growing
solutionasashortand mediumterm
carbon sink on land not suitable for
harvesting at acost far less than
establishing native forests fromscratch
on bare land,’’ he says.
As afastgrowing tree, pine trees
absorb carbon rapidly over 30 to 50
years, and pineplantations can grow on
andeventuallydecline to provide a
canopy to support the establishment of
native forests.
‘‘Native trees can take hundredsof
yearsuntilthey get to thelevelofcarbon
sink required,’’ Mr Bennett says. ‘‘But
growing radiata pine in the right place,
at the righttime,provides multiple
benefits. It provides robust money to our
grossdomestic product compared to
otherproducts and works well alongside
otherfarming practices.
‘‘As North Canterbury farmers are
increasingly finding, in the right
environment, sheep,beef and forestry
will do better per hectare thanjust
sheep and beef.’’
University of Canterbury forestry
Professor Euan Mason says there is a
misconception that forest carbon
storage is ‘‘impermanent’’.
‘‘What mattersisthe total area of New
Zealand in forest, not whether or not any
particular forest standblowsdown,
burnsorisharvested.
‘‘If we commit to increasing the total
national area of forest and to ensuring
that the verysmall areas thatblow or
burn down, or those areas thatmay be
harvested, willbereestablished, we can
enlargeavery stable, permanent carbon
store in forests.’’
Rather than relying on native
plantings,Professor Mason advocates
using the more ‘‘rapid sequestration
rates of exotics to fill gaps in our carbon
accounts’’.
Harvest season is in full swing and
Federated Farmers is urging motorists
and the operatorsofagricultural
machinery to show each othersome care
and understanding.
Federated Farmers’ transport
spokeswoman, KarenWilliams, says New
Zealand’s$2.1 billion arableindustry is
an important part of the country’s export
earnings, economyand employment.
During harvest,tractors towing
implementsand other big agricultural
vehicles oftenneed to use public roads.
‘‘They’re bulkyand of necessity —and
by law —move at lower speedsthan other
motorists,’’ Ms Williams says.
Competition
at field days
An Amuri A&P Show initiative is set to
feature at this year’s South Island
Agricultural Field days.
The Country Women Competition,
trialledbythe Dairy Women’s Network’s
North Canterburybranch at last year’s
Amuri show, has been added to the lineup
for the field days being held at Kirwee
from March24to26.
Having acompetition which allowsthe
region’stalented rural women todisplay
their capabilities is acoup, says
Michaela McLeod, the organising
committee’s firstchairwoman.
“The South Island AgriculturalField
Days has long been known for the place
to see harvesters,seeders, balers and
some of the newest agricultural
technology in action.But to be able to
highlight the skills and capabilities of the
women, whoare often the backbone of
the agricultural industry, is aspecial
additiontothe field days this year.’’
The event revolvesaround challenges
designedtogive rural women achanceto
prove their mettle and talent.
Prospective entrants are encouraged
to keep an eye on the Dairy Women’s
NetworkCanterbury page on Facebook.
‘‘Farmersare askingother driversto
show abit of patienceand common sense.
If atractor or harvester doespull over to
the edge of theroad, takeyour
opportunity to passifyou can do so safely.
‘‘Mostofthemwillbemoving no faster
than 3040kmh or so, so it’s not essential
to havethe same several hundred metres
of clear road ahead needed when
overtakingmuch faster moving vehicles.’’
Refusing to pass can result in along
lineup of vehicles and that’s when some
drivers’ patience frays and theydo
somethingrisky, Ms Williams says.
She also urges the operators of farm
vehicles to keeptrafficflows in mind.

Southbrook sees sniff
of avictory evaporate
Amasterclass in how to chasealow score
saw LeestonSouthbridge overcome a
scrappy Southbrook in the lastweekend’s
roundofcountry cricket.
Therewere wins for LeestonSouthbridge,
Ohoka, Cheviot and Oxford
Rangiora as the CRV Ambreed Country
Premier One Day 2020/21 competition
heatsup.
Southbrook, which hasn’twon sincethe
opening round,was putinto bat by the
home sideatLeeston Park on Saturday.
Youngwicketkeeper batsman Hayden
Thornley and SouthbrookmainstayTony
Hancox got the visitors off to aflying start,
bringing up the 50runopening
partnership in eightovers. But the freescoring
Hancox retiredwith ahamstring
injury afterscoring 21 off 25 balls.
Thornley brought up his halfcentury
before he fell with the score at 100/3.
LeestonSouthbridge’s fightback was
sparked by MainPower Oval head
groundsman Dave Evans,whose nagging
mediumpacers turned the match, picking
up three quick wickets.
The spin trioofDavid Neal,Tim
Gruijters and Will Macfarlane also
combined for five wickets and Southbrook
was out for just 150 in 37.5 overs.
Southbrook needed to strike earlyto
have any chance, and paceman Jono
Greendelivered. He rippedout opener
Rupert Young and Gruijters in the first
over,givingSouthbrook asniff of victory.
That hope was eroded by the composed
batting of Toby Doyle and Chris Beatson.
Unperturbedattaking 39 balls to get off
the mark, Doyle ground Southbrookout of
the match. He made an unbeaten 45 runs
off 117 balls, while Beatson compiled 66
not out from 98 balls,securing the eightwicketwin
with eightovers to spare.
Ohoka victorious
An unbeaten centurybyNew Zealand
under19 star Rhys Mariuhelped guide
Ohoka to a15run win overDarfield.
Mariu carried his bat through the first
innings, making 114 of Ohoka’s 253 runs,
wellsupported by WillHamilton (41 off46)
and Harry Fitzpatrick (46 off 66).
In reply, Darfieldwas sitting pretty at
92/1 in 19 overs, before fallingtobe117/5.
Ryan Hughes (38 off 40) and keeper
Alister Collins (48 off 45) gaveDarfielda
whiff of victory but fell 15 runsshort.
BigCheviotwin
At Weedons Domain, visiting Cheviot
thumped the home side by 115 runs.
AcenturypartnershipbetweenCheviot
openerTed Whelan (65 off 74) and George
Waddy (68 off 97) set up the commanding
first innings score of 251 in its 45 overs.
Weedons never threatened the big score,
to be all out for 136 in the 37th over.
Fivewicket win
At Pearson Park,OxfordRangiora

Lincoln,which managedjust 102.
CalvinScott led the chase, anchoringthe
innings with 35 off 61 balls.Sefton had the

Council Supports Move to Rid Waste of
‘Greenwashing’
Waimakariri District Council has voiced its support
for proposals for New Zealand to move away from
‘greenwashed’ and single-use plastics.
Greenwashing is the process of conveying afalse
impression or providing misleading information
about how acompany's products are more
environmentally sound.
The Ministry for the Environment late last year
asked the public how best to tackle problem
plastics and received more than 5000 submissions.
The first of the Government’s proposals would see
regulations imposed to phase out certain hard-torecycle
plastics.
These include PVC food and beverage packing,
polystyrene packaging, as well as oxo-degradable
plastics. These are plastics that are designed to
break down quickly when oxygen is present, creating
microplastics that pollute the environment.
“There is so much unrecyclable plastic packaging
making it to New Zealand shelves,” says Council’s
Solid Waste Asset Manager Kitty Waghorn.
“Many producers claim their packaging products
are biodegradable or compostable when in reality
they aren’t. They can’t be composted in most
commercial composting facilities in New Zealand.”
The second proposalidentifies sevensingle-use items
to phase out, including single-useplasticproduce
bags,tableware,non-compostable producestickers,
drinkstirrers, plasticcotton buds andstraws.
The proposed changes are expected to come into
force by January 2025 with some happening earlier,
depending on the type of packaging and item.
Woodend Celebrates aSafe
School Crossing
The ribbon was cut last week opening the longawaited
pedestrian crossing outside Woodend
School on State Highway 1.
Mayor Dan Gordon says, “It’s great to see this
in place just in time for school starting back. It’s
been along time coming and it is fantastic there
is finally asafe way across the State Highway for
school kids and wider Woodend.”
The Mayor was joined by student leaders from
Woodend School, School Principal Adrienne Simpson,
Jim Harland from Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency),
and representatives from Beca and Fulton Hogan who
worked on the project.
The lights andthe crossing are part of awider road
safety improvement projectalongthe State Highway.
He says effective advocacy with Waka Kotahi was
key to this project’s success.
“The community can take huge credit for this,
including the students and staff from the school.”
“We now need Waka Kotahi to confirm atimetable
for the remaining road improvements through
Woodend. These will build on the good work we’re
celebrating today and make walking and cycling a
more viable option for the community before they
hopefully commit to the Woodend Bypass.”
Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre Reopens
Scheduled maintenance at Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre
has been completed, meaning the full centre is
again open to the public.
Major maintenance takes place every two tothree
years and involves draining the pools, repairing
tiles and re-grouting. The work ensures the facility
will be in great shape for years to come.

and swim programmes can be found at

THEHOPE OF ISRAEL -
IS IT GOOD NEWS?
Anti-Semitism sits just under the surface of most institutions.
How does the Bible speak of Israel and it’s people? The Jews
have been in the forefront of God’s purpose with the Earth,
Abraham being their father, the promises given to him by God
impact upon the nations -for good or not. Understanding
the Old Testament gives us the foundation for understanding
the New Testament. ‘For Moses truly said unto the fathers,
Aprophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
brethren, like unto me: him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever
he shall say unto you. Ye are the children of the prophets, and
of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto
Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be
blessed. Acts 3:22, 25
