Ben follows track legends
By SHELLEY TOPP
Mandeville teenager Ben
Whalley is following in the
footsteps of some legendary
Kiwi sporting heroes, becoming
the youngest person to win the
New Zealand Speedway Solo
Bike Championship.
He won the title at Moore
Park Speedway in West Melton
on February 6, displacing an
idol, fourtime champion
Bradley WilsonDean.
Ben, at just 18, emulated the
New Zealand titles won by
speedway legends Ivan Mauger,
Ronnie Moore and Barry
Briggs, all of whom went on to
become world champions and
household names.
Ben has already followed up
his championship win with a
second placing at last week’s
Burt Munro Challenge in
Invercargill.
Ben became interested in
solo bike racing after his father,
Neil Whalley, died suddenly 10
years ago.
He has worked hard under
the mentorship of his maternal
grandfather, Ivan Harris, a
keen solo bike enthusiast, to
claim the championship at such
ayoung age.
Ben loves the speed, thrill
and tactical aspect of solo bike
racing.
Ivan is proud of what his
grandson has achieved and also
his ability to stay calm under
pressure and listen and learn
from mentors who have helped
him along the way.
Ben has two sleek methanolpowered
racing solo bikes
which can reach speeds of up to
100kmh, but have no brakes.
‘‘You race at full throttle the
whole time,’’ he says. ‘‘After the
chequered flag you just button
off the throttle and they slow
down pretty quick.’’
Each finely tuned bike is
custommade to the riders’
requirements and cannot be
bought readymade off the
showroom floor.

NCEA art bound for exhibition
By SHELLEY TOPP
Covid19 has been the gift that keeps
giving for Amberley teenager Lana
Bonnett.
Lana, aged 18, made Covid19 the
subject of her NCEA level3 sculpture
portfolio during her final year at
Rangiora High School last year.
She first learnt about the virus in
January last year but never dreamt it
would become aglobal pandemic.
However, as the virus spread, it
provided Lana with arich vein of ideas
for her portfolio.
Her work earned an ‘‘excellence in
visual art’’ grading, the highest
achievement possible, from the New
Zealand Qualifications Authority
(NZQA).
Then, late last month she was invited
to submit her portfolio for this year’s
NZQA Top Art Exhibition.
Lana is pleased her portfolio has been
received so well, and excited to have her
work included in the exhibition with 59
other students who also achieved an
‘‘excellence in visual art’’ (design,
painting, photography, printmaking and
sculpture) grading at level 3in2020.
The exhibition will tour later this
year.
The invitation surprised Lana, who is
grateful for the support from Rangiora
High School art teacher Jan Robertson.
‘‘She is my favourite teacher ever.
Anything Ineeded she was always there
to help.’’
Jan says she enjoyed teaching the
talented teenager.
‘‘Lana is an empathetic, motivated
young woman who responded so well to
suggestions, and her maturity meant you
could chat to her, critique her work and
offer suggestions and she would then
respond to this,’’ Jan says.
‘‘She rightly deserved the grades she
received in these subjects as they are
demanding subjects which require a
high level of self discipline and
commitment.
‘‘I know she will do well in whatever

she does and Iwish her all the best for
her studies over the next few years.’’
Lana says she has always had amind
for art and decided to study it at school.
She plans to be an architect and
headed to Wellington last Saturday to
begin studying for aBachelor of
Architectural Studies at Victoria
University. After she completes the
threeyear degree, she is hoping to
continue her studies for aMasters at the
prestigious Delft University of
Technology in The Netherlands.
‘‘That will depend on whether Covid
19 is still around,’’ she says.
Lana is keen to study at Delft because
it is rated as one of the world’s top two
universities for architectural studies
and she has family there, as her mother,
Rianne, is from The Netherlands.
Quality effort... Part of Lana’sart portfolio.

KAIKŌURA VIEWS
MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE
Let’ssupport each other
I’ve enjoyed working with our new chief
executive, Will Doughty, over the last
coupleofweeks.
Will has agood understanding of the
issuesfacing us and has quicklygot up
to speed with council projects.
I’ve been mightilyimpressed so far
and Iamlooking forward to working
with him and the rest of the council
team.
In the first stageofthe Government’s
three watersreform programme, the
council will be spending $1.88 millionof
Crown funds to repair and upgrade
water supplysystemsinthe district over
the next 18 months.
Several projects are in the pipeline
(excuse the pun). Physical workshave
already startedtoreconfigurethe
suburban water scheme to connectto
the urbanwater supply network.
This will improve the water qualityto
suburban residents and enable us to
removethe boilwater noticethat has
been in place since the earthquakes.
Repairs to haulroutes on the
Kaikoura Flatsare well under way.
While theremay be someshort-term
inconvenience, the worksare agood
outcome and have been completely
fundedbythe New Zealand Transport
Agency as part of its commitment to
remediate the roads in the district after
the 2016 earthquake.
As well as projects on the ground, the
council team is working on all the
background planning and paperwork
requiredfor the Long-Term Plan (LTP),
covering2021 to 2031.
This includes planning the budgets
for the next 10 years and a30-year
infrastructure strategy lookingathow
we manage our assets, to ensure they
meet the needsofour community now,
and what we might need for the future.
At thisstage, formal consultation on
the LTP is scheduled for late May/June.
Ihave beentalking to afew of you on
the streets. It feels like everyone is
doing what they can to reassess and
adapt their businesses to life in
Kaikourawithoutinternational tourists.
While there are someactions that
people can take, Ithinkmany of us are
also waiting to see what is going to
happen, and where that willleave us as
acommunity.
Iknow these are tough times, so Iurge
you to support each other and buy local
wheneveryou can.

Students acknowledge
central role of treaty
By DAVID HILL
Waitangi Day was achance for Kaiapoi
High School’snew headstudents to
introducethemselves to theircommunity
and speak about the importance of New
Zealand’s national day.
Charlie Wicksand Hunter Henley come
from different culturalbackgrounds but
both saidWaitangi Day was importantto
theirfamilies. The pair addressed those
who gathered in Kaiapoi to mark the day.
Charlie said her whanau came together
each year to markWaitangiDay and had
learned about thesignificance of the day
whileattending TuahiwiSchool.
‘‘Growingup, Iwas fortunate to attend a
bilingualprimary school whichensured its
students learned about whathappenedon
February 6, 1840. When Ireached high
school, in Year 9insocial studiesI
realised most kids didn’teven know why
todaywas even calledWaitangi.
‘‘It is crucialthat our tamariki and our
whanau are awareofwhat Waitangi Day
commemorates and acknowledges.
‘‘We celebrate todaybyremembering
and acknowledgingthe signing of the
treaty just over 180 years ago.’’
The treaty was signedbyQueen
Victoria’srepresentative,Governor
William Hobson, and Maori chiefs at
Waitangi.
‘‘Waitangi Dayisn’tjust aholiday. It’s a
day when we celebrate our country’s rich

from our past,valuing our indigenous
peopleand our multi-cultural diversity.’’
Hunter, who talked of his Pakeha and
Japanese heritage,gave an emotional
address in which he spoke about his late
father, born on Waitangi Day.
‘‘While Iwas writing this speech, mum
told me that my dad thought he was born
on this day for apurpose, to help bring
peopletogether,which is whatthe treaty
has done.’’
Hunteradmittedhehad alot to learn
about Waitangi Day. ‘‘I’membarrassed to
admit Iamone of those kidsCharlie has
mentioned in her speech, who hasn’t been
taughtmuch aboutWaitangi Day, which I
regretand Iamslowly rectifying.’’
But he was familiar with some of
Kaiapoi’shistory as agathering place for
Ngai Tahu,and its role in trade.
Local firms show resilience in aCovid-affected year
By DAVID HILL
There are plenty of positives
for North Canterbury’s
economy, despite the ongoing
uncertainty of Covid-19.
Enterprise North Canterbury
(ENC) business
development manager Miles
Dalton says most local
businesses are in agood space,
despite the challenges of the
past year.
‘‘I do think North
Canterbury has done so much
better than other regions
because we are not reliant on
tourism and we’ve come
through the earthquakes, so
most businesses have
processes in place to get
through.

achieved during an uncertain
12 months, he says.
‘‘Covid will definitely come
into it.
‘‘Everyone has astory to tell
from 2020. The awards are a
celebration, so this one will
essentially be about
celebrating surviving 2020.’’
Over the past 12 months, Mr
Dalton has fielded more than
100 enquiries from people
interested in setting up a
business.
At present he is working
with 27 projects which are

Afree business start-up

While priority is given to
those affected by Covid-19, out
of work or on abenefit, anyone
who is interested in starting up
abusiness can apply or contact
Mr Dalton to discuss their
business idea.
‘‘The application form asks
‘what do you have in mind?
What do you know and don’t
know?’ to ensure that people
have seriously thought about
it.
‘‘It’s not enough to start a
business if you’re not getting
what you personally want to
achieve out of it.

‘‘Some businesses can start
up and then grow organically,
but others will need alot of
capital and you need to make
sure you can pay it back, and
that it’s actually going to pay

There are several options
for setting up abusiness,
depending on what
prospective business owners
want to achieve.
The options include
charitable trusts, social
enterprises or commercial
enterprises.

or low interest loans may be

Scout den repaired, ready for use
By DAVID HILL
The Kaiapoi Gray Raven Scout Den has
been reborn adecade after it suffered
serious earthquake damage.
The scout den suffered in the 2010 and
2011 Canterbury earthquakes, with one
wall slumping by 40 millimetres. The
building was deemed unsafe.
For the last decade the Kaiapoi keas,
cubs and scouts, as well as the Gray
Raven venturers, have been using rooms
at Blue Skies, but New Zealand’s oldest
scout troop will finally have its own
scout den again next month.
‘‘It’s now astateoftheart building

and it’s probably the most modern scout
den in the southern hemisphere,’’ group
leader Chris Thompson says.
The repair was along time coming, as
the scout group waited for decisions
from insurance, Scouting New Zealand
and the Waimakariri District Council.
‘‘It was in 2019 when everything finally
fell into place and we got acouple of
builders on board, and then Covid
slowed things down,’’ Mr Thompson
says.
But with the support of Scouting New
Zealand and the community, the repairs
have finally been completed.

founder, Robert BadenPowell.
The group will be joined by the other
Waimakariri scout groups for the
occasion.
‘‘The official opening will be from
11am to 12pm and then it will progress
into aFounder’s Day event and the
public can have alook around the den,’’
Mr Thompson says.
New Zealand’s first scout troop was
established in Kaiapoi in 1908, and
descendants of Kaiapoi’s first scout
leader, Ted Mallasch, will be attending.
Christchurch family historian Kevin
White has been invited to speak about
his book David Cossgrove ALifetime of

schoolmaster who became New
Zealand’s first scout commissioner.
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon, a
former cub, and former cub leader and
KaiapoiTuahiwi Community Board
chairwoman Chris Greengrass will be
attending, along with representatives
from Scouting New Zealand.
Mr Thompson says the scout den will
cater for about 50 children and young
people each week, including seven to
eight keas, 15 cubs and 12 scouts.
There are about 15 members in the
Gray Raven venturer unit, which serves
the Waimakariri district, with the older
venturers looking at forming anew rover
scout group.
The scout den will be available for
hire by the community when not being
used by the scouts.

Timber firm chalks up 100 years
By DAVID HILL
Kaiapoi’s Sutherland familyiscelebrating
100 years in business.
Sutherland Timber wasestablishedin
Southlandafterbeing conceived by two
brothers corresponding during World
War 1.
The business remainsinthe same
family, withMurray Sutherland having
handed over the reins to the fifth
generation.
Eldest son Jonnieisnow managing
director, with second son Davie running
the Kaiapoi ITM timber yard and daughter
Amy Sherwinlooking after the marketing.
Sutherland Timber became
incorporated in 1920, but anniversary
celebrations were delayed because of
Covid19, Amy says.
‘‘It’s pretty exciting times.We
acknowledged it as afamily last year, but
now it’s time to celebrate it withour staff.
‘‘It’s apretty special story how it started,
with two brothers writing to each other
whiletheywere in the war, and they
started to plantostart something when
they came back.’’
Whileone of the brothers was killedin
action, Murray’s grandfather returned
home safely and persuadedhis father to
bankrollthe establishment of asawmillat
Tuatapere.
After12years, the sawmill was relocated
to the Caitlins on the Otago coast, with the
focusbeing on native timberproduction.
The business relocated to Cheviot after
WorldWar 2, with the focusmoving to
Pinusradiata timber. It later movedto
Kaiapoi in 1956, when Murraywas a
toddler.
Afterashort stintaway fromhome,
Murray returned to Kaiapoi withhis wife,
Annie, 38 years ago to take over the
running of the business.
‘‘I’ve been here 38 years and in that time
we’veexpanded into the exportmarketin
the 1990s with furniture gradetimbers,
and our logs are all locally sourced from
Ashley Forest and Hanmer State Forest.’’
In recent years, SutherlandTimberhas
established strong marketswith Douglas
fir.
Murray continues to be activeinthe
business, with eldest sonJonnie as
managing director.‘‘You’ve got to have
one personsteering the ship,’’Murray
says.
‘‘Butit’s very much ateam effort,’’
Jonnie adds. ‘‘I’ve been aroundthe place
sinceIwas akid and I’ve alwayshad a
passion for the timber andthe engineering
that goes with it.’’
Family business... JonnieSutherland, left,is
continuing the family tradition at Sutherland
Timber with his brother,Davie Sutherland, and
sister Amy Sherwin.

KaiapoiITM was established in 2003,
with secondson Davietaking charge.
In recent years,SutherlandTimber has
embarked on amill upgrade to keep it

‘‘We process mostthings on site and we
have 75 people employed in Kaiapoi.
‘‘It’s agreat industry to be apart of.
There’ssomeamazing people in our
industry and the lifeexperiences you get
along the way, you can’t replacethem.’’
Amy says Sutherland Timber is looking
to the future.
‘‘I love the fact thatit’srenewable and

“It’s an indescribable feeling to knowthatyourchild canhearyou”
When Renee Cain learned her son
was born profoundly deaf she was in
shock. It was 2016, and little Jackson
was only days old when hewas given
ahearing test that all new babies
receive, but his results weren’twhat
they’d hoped for.
Renee says it took quite awhile for
the news tosink in, and it was heartwrenching
when it did.
“We tried hearing aids and we
thought hecould hear things, like
doors banging, but they weren’t
working at all,” says Renee, who lives
in Rangiora.
With alot of support and information,
Renee decided that cochlear implants
were the right option for Jackson and
their family. Acochlear implant is a
surgically-implanted electronic device
that restores hearing for those with
profound hearing loss.
At six-months-old
Jackson underwent
surgery to have the
implants fitted.
The surgery was
arranged by
the Southern
Cochlear
Implant
Programme
(SCIP) in
Christchurch.
Renee
remembers when
her little boy could
finally hear her voice.
“His face lit up and
he had abig smile when I
spoke. It brought tears to my eyes,”
she says.
“It’s anindescribable
feeling to know that
your child can hear
you. When he heard
sounds for the first
time he had alook
of amazement on
his face.”
Jackson, now
four, will start
at Southbrook
School in
Rangiora later this
year.
“I never knew about
cochlear implants
until Iwas in this
situation,” says Renee.
“It’s amazing what technology can do.”
Established in 2003, SCIP is one of
two cochlear implant providers in
New Zealand.
The not-for-profit organisation
currently provides care to more than
950 adults and children throughout
the South Island and as far north as
Taupo. Its offices in Christchurch
and Wellington are complimented by
regular visiting clinics throughout the
catchment area.
SCIP performs all cochlear implant
assessments, arranges surgery,
activates the cochlear implant,
administers adjustments and provides
post-implant rehabilitation services.
RangioraLions Club Chooses SCIP forRamble
Following aspeaker from SCIP coming
to talk to members the Rangiora Lions
Club decided to nominate SCIP as the
cause for the Ashley River Ramble
2021.
This is the 5th year of the Ramble,
with previous recipients including Koru
Care, Diabetes NZ and the Ashley-
Rakahuri Rivercare group. The event
evolved out of the Lions Club Rangiora
-Kaiapoi Fun Run, and provides a
relaxed family friendly event with great
scenery ofthe river which is home to
some of NZ’s rarest birds.
ARR coordinator Kirstyn Barnett
says the event is all about enjoying the
outdoors with family and friends.
“Every time Igotothe Ashley-
Rakahuri river Isee something new.
We are so lucky to have this national
treasure in our backyard, so easily
accessible for cyclists and walkers.”
She is delighted that the funds raised
from the event will go towards helping
local people enjoy abetter quality of
life.

Miranda replacedBrian Hoult,who
resignedaschairman last December.
‘‘Brian did asuperb job for manyyears,’’
she said.
Miranda’s own involvementwiththe
council has also beenlengthy —‘‘about27
years’’.
She wanted to joinalocal organisation
that revolved aroundthe visual and
creative arts,and the artscouncilprovided
that opportunity.
Although Mirandahas no formal arts
background,she comesfrom acreative
family where art was an importantpart of
her life from an early age.
‘‘I used to draw constantlyand Iamnow
part of alocal creative arts class which
explores arange of mediums, whichI
love.’’
She has alsohad experience working as
avolunteer guide at the Christchurch Art

Rawaah aprecious family member
By SHELLEY TOPP
WhenEnglish coupleAmanda
ScottRichards and her husband,
Jeremy Richards, moved to New
Zealand in 2008,they paid £20,000
to bring ‘‘a special equinefriend’’
withthem.
‘‘Atthat time £20,000 converted
to $60,000 in New Zealand
currency andwas the deposit for a
house,’’ Amandasays.
It was ahuge cost for the young
couple but Rawaah, a
thoroughbredwho oncesold for
£750,000 as ayearling but was later
purchased by Amanda for only
£1000 afterhefailed to win arace,
‘‘isincrediblyspecial for so many
reasons’’, she says.
Before coming to New Zealand
the couple, who now live in West
Eyreton, ran an equestrianand
horse trekking business in West
Sussex, where Amanda says she
learnt alot workingwith Rawaah.
‘‘I am pretty sure he thinks he is
aperson in ahorse’sbody,’’she
says. And it is not justbecausehe
acquired ataste for gingernuts
after he began sharing Amanda’s
biscuits duringher tea breaks. ‘‘He
has beenanamazing teacher,’’she
says.
WhenAmandafirst gotRawaah

However, after two years using
the new natural horsemanship
methods she had learnt, the

was competing in dressage,

He also helped Amanda run

Sick leave
submission
Abill proposing to extend
sick leave entitlements
will be adoubleedged
swordfor rural
communities,Rural
WomenNew Zealand says.
The bill, introduced to
parliament last November,
wouldincrease annual
sick leave entitlements
from five to 10 days.
This month, Rural
WomenNew Zealand
askedparliament’s
Educationand Workforce
Select Committee to
reconcile the need to
understand how to support
improved health and
mental wellbeing in rural
communities withthe
challenges that a
mandatory 10 days of sick
leavewould bring to rural
businesses.
‘‘Whilst10days sick
leaveisgreat for
employees, it willalso be
challengingfor some rural
employers, and so it is
important forParliament
to consider both elements
to understand any adverse
effects on rural
communities if this is
made mandatory,’’its

said.

KAIKOURA A&P SHOW
North Canterbury News, February 18, 2021

Long-time exhibitor steps up as president
By DAVID HILL
Being closer to town has
allowed Colin Nimmo to
become more involved in the
Kaikoura A&P Show, but he
still enjoys the wide open
spaces.
This year’s show president
has had along connection as an
exhibitor, but his involvement
was restricted because of the
relative isolation of Muzzle
Station in the Clarence Valley,
where he and his wife, Tina,
farmed for 35 years.
“I’ve been involved in the
show on and off for anumber of
years, but we lived in the
Clarence Valley, so our main
involvement was as an
exhibitor. We usually have
sheep, wool and horses in the
show.”
The couple’s daughter and
soninlaw, Fiona and Guy
Redfern, took over the running
of Muzzle Station about seven
years ago, with the Nimmos
moving to the Kaikoura flats.
“We are closer to town, but
we still can’t see the
neighbours,” Mr Nimmo said.
The Muzzle Station farming
operation has two finishing
blocks on the Kaikoura Inland
Road, with the Nimmos
responsible for one of those
farms, “so it keeps us busy”.
The family runs 12,000 stock
units of Merino sheep and beef
cattle. It was all Herefords until
recently, with Anguscross cows
gradually being added to the
herd.
The Merino sheep were a

proven performer on New
Zealand’s most isolated high
country station, Mr Nimmo
said.
Most of the wool is supplied
on contract to the New Zealand
Merino Company.
“They suit our country and,
financially, they are the best
sheep for us to be in. Both the
wool and the meat have done
pretty well.
“The wool is still wanted and
Ithink anywhere where you can
run them, it’s definitely worth
it. But they are probably abit
limited in terms of the country
you can run them on.”
Conservation is important to
the Nimmos and Redferns.
“I think most people are
doing the best they can for the
land. It’s important to look after
the land, but any work around

conservation and waterways
has got to be worthwhile from
an economic point of view
rather than legislation.
“The bulk of the station has
been farmed pretty
conservatively because that’s
the best way to do it.”

KAIKOURA A&P SHOW
18 North Canterbury News, February 18, 2021
Local support for show buoys committee
By DAVID HILL
After the challenges of the past
year, the Kaikoura A&P
Association is hoping to get
back to grass roots.
As the association counts
down to its 108th annual show
at the South Bay Racecourse on
Saturday, February 27,
president Colin Nimmo said
the theme “back to grass roots”
seemed appropriate, given the
uncertain Covid19
environment.
“It’s what New Zealand is
getting back to in the current
environment. Ithink people
realise that producing food and
fibre is still very important in
New Zealand.
“A&P shows have always
been the gathering places and
it’s probably moved away from
that abit in recent times, but
hopefully we can continue to
inspire people to come
together.”
In line with the show theme,
the Kaikoura Museum will be
setting up adisplay of photos
from past shows in the main
marquee.
Show secretary Laura Page
said horse and sheep entries
were strong, while the
committee has been amazed by
the support from trade sites
and show sponsors.
Anticipating sponsorship
would be hard to obtain, given
that Kaikoura businesses are
affected by the absence of
overseas tourists, the
committee decided to organise
its own fundraising.
“Our president, Colin
Nimmo, decided to host a
fundraising trip to Quail Flat,
out the back of their farm
(Muzzle Station), and that was
awesome,” Ms Page said.
“But after being worried
about getting any sponsorship,
we have probably ended up
with the biggest sponsorship
year we’ve ever had.
“I think, despite the
challenges they are facing,
local businesses realise the
importance of our show,
because most of the riders,
exhibitors and trades come
from out of town, as well as all
the visitors.”
It makes achange from just
five years ago, when the
committee feared its 2017 show
would be the last because of a
lack of prospective committee
members and support.
The 2017 show was cancelled
because of the November 2016
earthquake, but the association
came back in 2018 and is now in
amuch stronger position.
Trade site bookings are
particularly strong, with
several new trade exhibitors
travelling from Christchurch,
Nelson and Blenheim.
“It comes back to there not
being many shows, so we’ve got
quite afew coming who have
heard that we’ve got quite a
cool wee show,” Ms Page said.
Horse entries were slow
coming in, but jumped from 60
entries to 185 in the last two
days.
“We’ve even had to turn
people away because we don’t

have enough room in the
stables for them to stay
overnight,” she said.
Sheep entries were up from
25 last year to 65, with strong
support from local sheep
farmers, while shearing is back
at the show after the committee
was unable to find sheep to
shear last year.
“We’re very lucky to have Rob
Herbert join the committee. He
is alocal farmer and an exshearer
at the show and he’s
agreed to be shearing convenor
and he’s bringing the sheep,”
Ms Page said.
The novelty bicyclepowered
shearing is back and has been
moved to the bar tent, where it
will be held from 2.30pm, after
the grand parade, “to try to
keep people around for abit
longer”.

Fun times ... Goodnatured challenges, such as asack race, await Kaikoura’s budding young farmers.
Fun challenges for children
By DAVID HILL
Budding young farmers are set
to feature at this year’s
Kaikoura A&P Show.
The Harcourts Future
Farmers’ Competition is being
introduced this year to
encourage schoolaged
children to get involved in the

‘‘The idea is to have aseries
of challenges such as asack
race, an eggandspoon race,
gumboot throwing and bestdressed
farmer, which will be
added together to give the
competitor aseries of points,
designed to choose the best
future farmer,’’ secretary Laura
Page says.
The competition will be open
to local children across three
age groups: under 7years, 7to
9, and 10 to 12.
The event will run at 10am

themselves as Robin Hood,

Anaud in the Nelson region will
be back at the Kaikoura A&P
Show this year. Bullock Road
Bows proved popular at last
year’s show, giving participants
ataste of archery.

Mycotoxins ahidden
menace for horses
Is there ahiddenmenace in yourhorse
feed?
Horsescan be exposed to mycotoxinsby
eatingcontaminated feedingredients
suchasconcentrates(for example, grains
and proteinsupplements), hay and green
pasture.
The extent of mycotoxinexposure
depends on how much of the
contaminatedingredientisfed and the
mycotoxin concentration present in the
feed.
Any feed ingredientmay contain
multiplemycotoxins,whichcan become
moretoxic together than they would be
separately.
Mycotoxinsinhorses can cause awide
range of clinical signs, including
respiratory,gastronintestinal, neurologic
and reproductiveproblems.Obvious signs
may include tremors, fever, loss of
appetite,bloodyfaeces, and brownurine.
In extreme cases, it canleadtodeath.
Diagnosingmycotoxinexposure is abig
challenge.
Confirmation of adiagnosis usually
requires asample being tested by a
reliable,accredited laboratory.
The sample testedmay returnwith a
positive mycotoxin presence,but that
doesnot mean thewholebatchofhay or
feediscontaminated.
Mouldy feedshould be treated with
extremecare andpreferably notfed to
horses.
To minimise problems,itisbesttobuy
fromareputabledealer or producer.
The feedorhay should be stored so that
it is protectedfrommoisture andhas
space to allowair to circulate around the
product.
Thereisnoeasysolutionfor mycotoxin
prevention.
It has been said that mycotoxinsare
everywhere,and especiallywhenhumid,
hot, moist conditionsare present.
In research, some productshave been
showntoalleviatesomeofthe negative
effects of mycotoxinsinhorses.
It is common forpeople to add
mycotoxinbinders to their horse’s ration.
However,careshouldbetakento
choose abinderthathas research
published in relation to horses.
Binders aremore effectiveifapplied at
thetime of feedproduction, but they can
also be added to the horse’s dailyfeedby

Sisters dedicated to a
life involving horses
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Johanna Wylaars is out of bed at 5.30amon
school days.
The 14yearoldmucks out the horse
paddocksonthe family’s propertyin
Belfast, feeds her charges, and then heads
off to Marion College on the other side of
Christchurch.
When she getshome at 4pm, the Eyreton
Pony Club memberheads out to ride her
ponies, hoping to get in as muchtraining as
she can before it gets dark.
‘‘I sometimes get caughtinthe dark in
the winter,’’ she says.
Her hectic schedule and commitment is
matched by her 11yearold sister, Eva,
who is also proving to be an adept rider.
Johanna is preparing to head northto
the Horse of the Year Show at Hastings
next month. Good results at qualifying
showjumping grand prix events has put
Johanna and her pony, Wembleybrook
Tiffany, in the hunt for atop finish.
‘‘I am leading on points at the moment,
but it is really close at the top. Ihope to
amassmore at the Ponyofthe Year Grand
Prix,’’ Johanna says.
Last year the pair did not do as wellas
hoped, withTiffany being alittle
overexcited by the atmosphere and being
in the mainring.
‘‘I hope to go better thisyear,’’ Johanna
says.
Tiffany isn’t the easiest of ponies to
manage. She was bought unbroken as a
fiveyearold.
‘‘Shehas always been tricky to ride.She
is quitesensitive.’’
She hopes to do wellatHastings, but
‘‘anything can happen’’. Tiffany willbe
joined by Blossom, andLara on the
journey north,making abusy schedulefor
Johanna.
Eva willbetheretosupporther older
sister and help prepare the three mounts.
‘‘It is really neat at Horse of the Year
seeing all the differenttypes of riding like
games, showing and jumping,’’ she says.
The trip north is afamilyaffair. Mum
will be driving theirhorse truck, ahomeawayfromhome,
whileJohanna and Eva
will be looking after the ponies.
Dad, ‘‘whodoesn’t know much about
horses’’ willbegoing as well.
‘‘He’s our cook. He came lastyear and
made sure we had agood lunch and an
evening meal.You can’t really just grab a
few lollies to keep you going. It is pretty
draining.
‘‘It is important to eat well, and have
earlynights,when you are getting up early,
goingtoschool, and competingmost
weekends,’’ Johanna says.
Oldersister Elizabeth,who is studyingto
be avet, willhopefully be theretocheer
Johanna on.
Johanna says it is greatthat mum and
dad are so supportive. ‘‘But we have to
make sure we are on the ball, and doing
most of thework, doing our part and
making it happen.
‘‘It is pretty full on, and you don’t have
much of asociallife,’’Johanna says.
The girls’ mother, Pip Wylaars, who is
president of the EyretonPony Club, says
she does nothave to crack the whip too
much.‘‘Just sometimesweneed areset,’’
she says.
The family is on the road between 30 to
40 nights in the summer in their horse
truck. Theyhave had theirtruck for only a
year and have alreadyclocked14,000km in

Good summer lifts sheep farmers
By DAVID HILL
The sheep industry is in good
spirits in Canterbury after a
successful season of ewe fairs.
Canterbury stock agents,
speaking at the Sheffield Ewe
Fair last Friday, said local
farmers are in goodspirits
despite the challenges of the
last year.
Hazlett livestockgeneral
manager Ed Marfellsaid the
sheep industry was in agood
space.‘‘SinceChristmas
there’s beenregularrains
which has allowed the ewes to
pick up quickly after weaning,
and they presentedthemselves
well today.
‘‘Whenyou think the world’s
restaurantsare closed, Iwould
say the sheep industry has
done pretty well this summer.’’
Peter Walsh &Associates
auctioneer Allister Orchard
had predicted asimilar
outcome at Sheffield to the
Hawarden Ewe Fair on
January 29 and he proved to be
close to the mark.
While the yardingof10,000
was lower thanexpected,the
day’s top priceatSheffield was
$250 paid for apen of mixedaged
Suffolkewes, aheadofthe
$234 paid at Hawarden.
The toppriced Suffolk ewes,
offered by HillvueFarm
Partnership, of Rolleston, were
exceptional sheep,MrMarfell
said.
‘‘They were big ewes. One of
them jumped over the fence
and Ihad to get it back in. It
had afair bit of weightonit.’’
Overall, prices were pretty
consistent, with mixed age
ewes selling particularly well,
and there was afull clearance
at Sheffield, Rural Livestock
Canterbury livestockmanager
Donald Cooke said.
Good conditioned twotooth
andmixedageewes fetched in
excess of $180, asimilarresult
to Hawarden, he said.
‘‘It was agood result today
andthey’ve pretty much all
gone backontofarmsrather
than to be killed.’’
While the sales of older ewes
were exceptional, there
appeared to be lessinterest in
twotooth ewes, Mr Marfell
said.
‘‘It’s adifferent typeofbuyer.
Alot of guyswho buy 5yearold
ewes are going to be breeding
one season of lambsand then
kill it and the lamb, whereas
with the twotooths you tend to
get four or fiveyears out of
them.’’
Ageneral trend in recent
seasons, in both the North and
South Islands, has been the
numberofbreedingewessent
to thefreezing works, which
was reflected in the smaller
yarding, Mr Orchardsaid.
Stockagents now turntheir
attention to the calf sales next
monthand then the winter bull
sales, which start in May.

Diamonds are forever
Sports day ahit with pupils
By DAVID HILL
Kaiapoi can lay claimtohaving the best softball
diamondsinCanterbury.
Canterbury Softball Association board deputy
chairmanTony Hensen, speaking at the official
opening of new softball facilities at NormanKirk
Park in Kaiapoi’s former red zone, said he was
impressed withthe new development.
The Kaiapoi Softball Club, founded in 2004, is the
only softball club in North Canterbury.
Mr Hensen said the clubboasted the newest
women’s and men’s premier sidesinthe
Canterbury competitionand couldnow claim the
best softball facilitiesinCanterbury.
‘‘The first thing that’sobvious to me is it’s
extremely spacious. You’ve got an awfullot of room
here. It’sgreat to see. You’ve got something here to
be very proud of.
‘‘They’ve got enoughspace to host major
tournaments.You could have 10 diamonds playing
at once, so there’s no reason why you couldn’t host
anational tournament here.I’m sure Kaiapoi
would lovetosee that happen and Ican see the club
developing this into an internationalfacility.’’
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon threw the first
official pitch, beforethe Kaiapoi premierwomen’s
team tooktothe field againstPapanui forthe first
match on the maindiamond.
While the mayor admitted to beingnervous about
the pitch, he need not haveworried as he threwa
strikeonthe inside curve, according to theteam’s
catcher, Layla BaileyMcDowell, aformer Junior
White Soxplayer.
Mr Gordon said the councilhad spent$6million
developing Norman KirkPark, named after the
formerprime minister who also served as Kaiapoi
Mayor.The park has changingrooms,acar park, a
dog park and ashared pathway passing through.

Righting Rumours about the Proposed
Community Hub in Kaiapoi
Council is concerned to learn aleaflet containing
inaccurate information about the proposed
Kaiapoi community hub was distributed across
the community.
Community and Recreation Manager Chris Brown
says, “We’re really happy people are engaged with
this project and want to have asay. Iwant to
reiterate the proposal is still in the early stages
and we have anumber of planned touch points for
people to get involved.”
The proposed community hub site is on
regeneration land on the corners of Charters
Street and Courtenay Drive inKaiapoi. Community
hubs are flexible spaces that can be used for
different recreation, arts and hobby activities, and
social and cultural activities, similar to Northbrook
Studios in Rangiora.
Three local groups have expressed an interest
in locating at ahub -Kaiapoi Menz Shed, the
Kaiapoi Croquet Club, and Food Secure North
Canterbury. However, there would be additional
space available for community groups to use
through leases.
Directly affected residents have had an invite to an
info-session with the Community Board dropped
in their letterboxes, ahead of future and wider
engagement opportunities.
The Council want to address some of the issues
raised in the leaflet as well as questions by
residents onsocial media:
• The Council have not signed off on this project.
There is alot of work to do before acommunity
hub happens and it depends on community
support, adequate funding, resource consent and
the level of interest from community groups
• The project is at a‘concept level’ and Council
is exploring options for development. We
will beworking with the community as this
project develops
• Development stages include developing adra
master plan and guidelines for use. These will
be open to feedback from the community in the
next few months
• Council will also be seeking to allocate funding
through the dra 2021-2031 Long Term Plan
which is out for consultation in March-April 2021
• Aer these steps the project would need to go
through detailed design and resource consent.
Where do we want to be Waimakariri?
Council has finalised the dra 10 year budget –or
dra Long Term Plan –which goes out for public
engagement in March.
The Long Term Plan (LTP) is Council’s key strategic
document and sets out projects and priorities, as
well as how much it will cost and how itwill
be funded.
Over the next 10 years the Council is focused on
making sure we keep up with growth, Covid-19
economic recovery, climate change/sustainability,
and the impact of the Three Waters Review.
We’re specifically asking for feedback on:
• New community facilities for Pegasus and north
Woodend (Ravenswood)
• Upgrades to the Rangiora Library and wider
civic area
• Parking in Rangiora –including acar park building.
Mayor Dan Gordon says, “We’re conscious that
this LTPtakes place following Covid-19 lockdowns
and changes in Alert levels, at atime of economic
uncertainty, and with possible changes to how
services like reticulated wastewater and drinking
water are managed.
“For these reasons we’ve had to carefully balance
what the community can afford and the impacts
on households, without delaying building core
community facilities which encourage and foster
business and growth.”
The proposed rates increase if the dra LTPis
supported is 3.95 percent in the first year before
moving to 4.2 percent for the following years.
“There will be arange of events where you can
talk directly to acouncillor as well as ask questions
online. We want to hear your thoughts and
aspirations for the District.”
The dra LTPisopen for feedback between
4March and 12 April.

KAIAPOI CHRISTADELPHIANS
“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)
“GOOD NEWS”
What the Bible says about Israel.
“But regarding Israel, GOD said, ‘All day long Iopened my
arms to them but they were disobedient and rebellious’.
Iask then,(says Paul) has GOD rejected HIS own people,
the nation of Israel? Of course not! Imyself am an Israelite,
adescendant of Abraham.....”. Romans 10:21 –11:1.
