Angst over<br />
big water<br />
shake-up<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Massive changes in the<br />
management of waterdelivery,<br />
treatmentand disposal, likely<br />
to affect every ratepayer, will<br />
be laid out in March.<br />
They are part of ahuge<br />
shakeup by the Government,<br />
which says comprehensive,<br />
systemwide reform is needed<br />
fordrinking,wastewater and<br />
stormwater.<br />
The ThreeWaters Reforms<br />
to be announced next month<br />
are likely to be the most<br />
significant shakeup for local<br />
government since the 1986<br />
amalgamations.<br />
Councils are likelytolose<br />
controlofthese core services to<br />
anew corporateentity.<br />
Concerns havebeen aired by<br />
community representatives<br />
around the country that the<br />
body, with no elected<br />
personnel, will have no<br />
accountabilitytoratepayers.<br />
The reforms could alsosee<br />
compulsory chlorination of<br />
drinking water.<br />
It willleave <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> councilspondering<br />
their future, andwondering<br />
what might be next in line for<br />
Government reform.<br />
There are67different<br />
councilswhichown and<br />
operate mostofthe country’s<br />
drinking water,wastewater<br />
andstormwater services.<br />
The government says local<br />
authorities face urgent<br />
challenges in providing these<br />
services, including funding,<br />
meetingsafety standardsand<br />
environmental expectations,as<br />
wellasresiliencetonatural<br />
hazards, climatechange, and<br />
supporting growth.<br />
It is likely the announcement<br />
nextmonth will see water<br />
services brought into asmall<br />
number of entities encompassingmultipleregions.<br />
The exactsize, shape and<br />
design of theseentities is still<br />
being workedthrough.<br />
Private and communityrun<br />
water supplies could also find<br />
themselves capturedbythe<br />
reforms.<br />
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black<br />
and chiefexecutive Hamish<br />
Dobbie are concerned their<br />
residents and ratepayersknow<br />
little aboutwhat the reforms<br />
mean.<br />
Theyfear the rural voice may<br />
be lost, as big cities and urban<br />
populations takethe lion’s<br />
share of the limelight and<br />
funding,once the changes kick<br />
in.<br />
‘‘Wedon’t want to be<br />
scaremongering, but we want<br />
there to be adeveloping<br />
awarenesssopeople can make<br />
informed decisions. It is not all<br />
about local government. It is<br />
about water and people.’’<br />

Big artwork relocated<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Nathan Pohio’s giant artwork,<br />
Raise the anchor, unfurl the<br />
sails, set course to the centre of<br />
an ever setting sun! has been<br />
temporarily removed from the<br />
Waimakariri District Council<br />
chambers.<br />
It has been installed in the<br />
Chamber Gallery, in the<br />
Rangiora Library, where more<br />
members of the public will be<br />
able to see the widely<br />
acclaimed work.<br />
It was commissioned by the<br />
Waimakariri Art Collection<br />
Trust specifically for the<br />
council chambers and was<br />
initially installed there in July<br />
2019.<br />
The shortterm move to the<br />
Chamber Gallery has been<br />
done to allow repair work to be<br />
completed at the council’s<br />
service centre in Rangiora.<br />
The artwork is a<br />
reproduction of a1905<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Times photograph<br />
recording the British governorgeneral,<br />
Lord Plunket, and his<br />
wife, Lady Plunket, meeting<br />
with Tuahuriri kaumatua at<br />
Tuahiwi.<br />
The reproduction is the<br />
fourth version of the artwork,<br />
which are all in permanent<br />
collections.<br />
The work will will remain on<br />
show in the Chamber Gallery<br />
until March 5.<br />

The coursetookshape overthe past year,and<br />
was finished during afrantic couple of months<br />
leading into the event.<br />
‘‘We weredoing hugehours to get the track<br />
sorted, and to organise the event.<br />
‘‘There was alot more involved than I<br />
thought there would be,’’ Liam says.<br />
It all went according to plan on the day,due<br />
mainly to his parentsallowing him to use half<br />
theirpaddocks to build the course, he says.<br />
Sponsors swung in behind the event,<br />
helping withthe groundwork and<br />
infrastructure, and through donations to help<br />
run the event and providingtrophies.<br />
Liam says the eventwill be backnext year,<br />
with afew minor changesand alarger<br />
grandstand so people can seethe action.<br />
He says ahighlight was adoublebackflip by<br />
one rider,which he landedsafely,justifying<br />
the many hours put in makingthe jumps.<br />
Prizewinnerswere: BestoverallBMX rider,<br />

Worry over water reforms<br />
From Page 1<br />
Mrs Black says the water unit might<br />
simply change the colour of their<br />
shirts and move down the corridor<br />
to work under anew authority. But<br />
there could also be more<br />
substantial changes.<br />
The governing authority would<br />
likely be citybased, and those with<br />
issues in the far flung Hurunui<br />
rural district might be avoice in<br />
the wilderness.<br />
Mr Dobbie says he does not fear a<br />
loss of jobs, as schemes still have to<br />
be run. However, he questions<br />
whether the current level of<br />
service will remain, and at what<br />
cost.<br />
‘‘Will it be better?’’ he asks.<br />
Mrs Black says there is ahuge<br />
amount of trust between<br />
landowners and the council’s water<br />
staff. They knew to shut gates, and<br />
about washing their vehicles<br />
before entering properties to stop<br />
the spread of pests such as Chilean<br />
Surplus gear<br />
sold by RDA<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> Ridingfor the<br />
Disabled (NCRDA)has helda<br />
successfulsaleofsurplushorse<br />
equipment.<br />
ChairwomanLin Bisman said<br />
the <strong>February</strong>13sale at its<br />
Millton Ave base in Rangiora<br />
raised $557.<br />
‘‘There were no prices on<br />
anything and, as you can<br />
imagine, some people were<br />
incredibly generous paying<br />
more thanthey needed to for<br />
things that were really worth<br />
very little, and others got an<br />
absolute bargain for acoupleof<br />
dollars.Swingsand roundabouts,<br />
but we were delighted<br />
with the result and it cleared a<br />
lot of our surplus gearout.''<br />
Its next fundraiserwill be its<br />
annual horse trek on March 7.<br />
‘‘Theride will takeinthe<br />
stunning Mt Lowry homestead<br />
and the Okuku River,and will be<br />
led by renowned horseman<br />
Lyndon Morris.’’<br />
Tickets, which cost $50 and<br />
include morning and afternoon<br />
tea, can be bought at Rangiora<br />
Equestrian Supplies,in<br />
LinesideRoad, or by goingtothe<br />
NCRDAFacebook pagefor<br />
more details.<br />
NCRDAisalso planning an<br />
opshop style sale at its basein<br />
midApril, focusingonpreloved<br />
clothing,with food also on offer.<br />
RDA volunteers are sought.<br />
needle grass.<br />
She says this trust could be<br />
watered down if staff were not<br />
local. She also fears any problems<br />
in remote areas might be put on the<br />
back burner while water staff deal<br />
with acity issue affecting more<br />
people.<br />
This had the potential to leave<br />
farmers and stock in desperate<br />
situations.<br />
March will clarify the structure<br />
of the governing body, based on the<br />
Scottish model of water delivery<br />
and disposal.<br />
New Zealand could be divided<br />
into about five regions, loosely<br />
based on the present Super Rugby<br />
franchises.<br />
Mr Dobbie says there have<br />
already been rumblings from one<br />
large metropolitan area that says it<br />
won’t embrace the reforms.<br />
At first councils could opt in.<br />
Now, they have to opt out.<br />
‘‘The big boys need to be in it to<br />
make it work,’’ he says.<br />

Louise waited years for diagnosis<br />
Louise Davy is determined not to let arare disease limit<br />
howshe livesher life. She shares her story with Robyn<br />
Bristow ahead of Rare Disease DayonSunday.<br />
Rangiora’sLouise Davy was<br />
told her health problems were<br />
all in her head by aGP.<br />
For more thanthree decades<br />
she battled debilitating<br />
migraines, dizziness,nausea,<br />
and had difficulties with<br />
balance.<br />
At 37, after her brother paid<br />
for her to see aneurologist, she<br />
was diagnosedwith Episodic<br />
Ataxia Type 2, acondition that<br />
impairs movement.<br />
People experience episodes<br />
of poor coordination and or<br />
balance (ataxia), which can last<br />
several hours.They can have<br />
difficulty speaking,double<br />
vision, ringing in theirears,<br />
muscle tremors, and<br />
temporaryparalysis.<br />
Episodes can be triggered by<br />
external factors such as stress,<br />
medication, fever, physical<br />
exertion, caffeine, and alcohol.<br />
It is believed to affectone in<br />
100,000 people worldwide.<br />
Louise is amember of the<br />
Muscular Dystrophy<br />
Association of New Zealand’s<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> branch, and has<br />
been told by the Neuromuscular<br />
Disease Registrythat<br />
she is the only Kiwi registered<br />
withthe condition.<br />
Louise, ateacher at<br />
Southbrook School, is speaking<br />
out about her rare disease,as<br />
she feels she needs to advocate<br />
for those with hidden diseases,<br />
and to stop peoplefrom<br />
judging thembecausethey are<br />
not aware of whatthey are<br />
living with. This includes using<br />
disabledpeople’s car parks.<br />
Louise clearlyremembersas<br />
an 8yearold feelingdizzy and<br />
thinking she was going to be<br />
sick. By 12 she was<br />
misdiagnosedwith migraines.<br />
Medicationdidn’t help.<br />
‘‘I had blurry vision, Iwas<br />
vomiting, unable to walk<br />
straight. It was likeIwas<br />
drunk.But migraine<br />
medicationdidn’thelp. The<br />
only thing that helpedwas<br />
sleep, and letting the body<br />
repair itself.’’<br />
By the time she reached high<br />
school she washavingthree<br />
days off aweek on average<br />
becauseshe was so sick.<br />
As ayoung solo motherwith<br />
two childrenshe became quite<br />
introverted, and continuedto<br />
fight increasing episodes. She<br />
gave up on doctors, and when<br />
she returned to teaching she<br />
had areliever on standby,<br />
along withher mum, who<br />
would comeand pick her up<br />
and takeher home whenan<br />
episodehappened.<br />
AGPrefused to refer her to<br />
aneurological specialist<br />
throughthe public system<br />
becauseitwas supposedly<br />
wasting aspecialist’s time.<br />
Instead, he suggestedshe<br />
needed apsychiatrist.<br />
Eventually helpcame,<br />
thankstoher brother, whopaid<br />
for her to visit aneurologist. A<br />
run around the park requested<br />
by him during her consultation<br />
brought on the symptoms, and<br />
from there Louise’s life took a<br />
turn for the better.<br />
Medication helped her<br />
episodic ataxia, alongwith<br />
adviceonhow to avoid stress—<br />
the main trigger of her disease.<br />
She changed GPs whenhe<br />
Rare condition ... Louise Davy struggled to get an accurate<br />
diagnosis for her illness.<br />
PHOTO: ROBYNBRISTOW<br />
refused to renewher scriptfor<br />
the medication, believing the<br />
disease was too rarefor Louise<br />
to have it.<br />
‘‘My mum was my biggest<br />
supporter. She could see it<br />
wasn’t in my head. She<br />
believed in me,’’ Louise says.<br />
Today, her children, Ben and<br />
Jo, and her now husband, Pete,<br />
are her greatest support,along<br />
with an international<br />
Facebookgroup.<br />
‘‘Initially, Iasked lots of<br />
questionsbut now I’m helping<br />
other people. I’m making sure<br />
that otherpeople don’tfeel as<br />
alone as Idid in the<br />
beginning,’’ Louise says.<br />
Louise has taught for 21<br />
years.She is studyingtoward a<br />
Mastersdegreein<br />
ContemporaryEducation.She<br />
has climbed Mount Vesuvius,<br />
and seven yearsago married<br />
Pete. ‘‘I am normal, Ijust<br />

Concerns over quarry'seffects on wells<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
There is potential for groundwatertobe<br />
contaminated from the proposed quarry<br />
at Rangioraracecourse, opponents were<br />
told at ameeting thisweek.<br />
Residents attendingaStop the Quarry<br />
meeting on Tuesdaynight learned the<br />
proposed quarry was within the<br />
Drinking Water ProtectionZonesfor<br />
Rangiora.<br />
The zones protect severallocal wells,<br />
and bores. The bores supply Rangiora’s<br />
backup and emergencywater supplies.<br />
JohnMather, who has facilitated<br />
several meetings of residents, said the<br />
paper, presented to the opponents,<br />
outlinedthe significanceofthe<br />
protection zones.<br />
The Taggart application to ECan and<br />
the Waimakariri District Council for the<br />
quarry at the racecourse had a<br />
‘‘worrying lackofcompliance’’ with<br />
guidelines on disposal of class 5<br />
material which wouldbeused to fill<br />
areas excavated for gravel, it said.<br />
‘‘The excavated areathen effectively<br />
becomesalandfill, as the excavated<br />
area is backfilled withclass 5material<br />
sourcedfrom elsewhere,’’ the paper<br />
said.<br />
It raisedconcerns aboutthe backfill<br />
containing unidentifiedcontaminated<br />
material which could leach into<br />
groundwater,with a‘‘consequentialrisk<br />
of contaminationofnearbybores and<br />
the backup/emergency watersupplies<br />
for Rangiora’’.<br />
Opponents are concerned at the large<br />
amount of imported material that would<br />
be required, some of whichcould<br />
potentially be contaminated.<br />

Momentum builds<br />
for dark sky project<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Adark sky projectinKaikoura,if<br />
successful, could provide aprecious<br />
winter boost to tourism operators.<br />
It will also be alegacy to the work of<br />
the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Transport<br />
InfrastructureRecovery team(NCTIR).<br />
AKaikoura Dark Sky Reserve<br />
Working Grouphas takenoverfrom<br />
NCTIRtolead aproject establishinga<br />
dark sky reserve above Kaikoura,<br />
bringing to life the vision of its project<br />
manager, Tony Gallagher.<br />
About50people attended a<br />
presentation on the concept recently,<br />
wherework already done on thereserve<br />
was outlined along with what regulatory<br />
toolsmight be needed to protectthe<br />
nightsky from light pollution.<br />
Working groupleader Nicky<br />
McArthur said the presentation was<br />
aimedatgetting community support,<br />
finding funding options, and looking at<br />
what tools might be neededtohelp<br />
darken the skiesbystemming the flow<br />
of light from the town.<br />
She saysastrotourism opportunities<br />
wouldbehigh during the winter, which<br />
is traditionally theoff seasonfor<br />
tourism in Kaikoura.<br />
This would boostthe local economy<br />
and highlight thecultural significance<br />
of Matariki and Maorilore.<br />
‘‘Kaikoura has the opportunity to<br />
make the mostofdark sky tourism, with<br />
aunique story of mountains to thesea,<br />
and to the sky,’’she says.<br />
Apreapplicationhas already been<br />
lodged withthe InternationalDarkSky<br />
Association (IDA), and movesare afoot<br />
to prepareamain application.<br />
Nicky says the concept has been given<br />
aboost by NCTIR, whichfunded three<br />
monitors.Resultshave already shown<br />
there is ‘‘some outstanding darkness’’.<br />
The councilsupports the projectin<br />
principle, and there is growing support<br />
in the community.<br />
The Royal Astronomical Societyof<br />
New Zealand, the University of<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> and the IDA are alsobehind<br />
the project.<br />
Nicky saysthere is an urgency to push<br />
on with the projectand lobby the<br />
council to considerregulations on<br />
lightingwhen subdivision plans and<br />
building activity arelodged with the<br />
local authority.<br />
She says the dark sky concept goes<br />
beyondthe enjoyment that humans<br />
would get fromareserve.<br />
‘‘Nocturnal species are threatened by<br />
light pollution and many arefacing<br />
extinction. Losing our mothsand<br />
insects fromthe bottomofthe food web<br />
is havinghuge impacts worldwide,’’<br />
Nicky says.<br />
The presentation, hosted by the<br />
working party and the Kaikoura<br />
Museum, started with ashort slide show<br />
from the evolving working group of<br />
Nicky,DrLarry Field and Will Doughty,<br />
who is Kaikoura’s new chief executive.<br />
Guest speakers included Kyra Xavia,<br />
aresearcher, writer, and dark sky<br />
advocate basedinDunedin; andJohn<br />
Hearnshaw, aNew Zealand astronomer<br />
and Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at<br />
the University of <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Nicky says adark sky reservedoes not<br />
mean ‘‘we are going to be in the dark’’.<br />
Anyoneinterested in the concept is<br />
asked to jointhe journey.<br />

Befriend a<br />
tree,give<br />
it adrink<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Waimakariri residents are being<br />
encouraged to water trees on the<br />
berms outside their properties<br />
during hot, dry weather.<br />
Although the Waimakariri District<br />
Council does watering rounds<br />
during the summer, it is asking<br />
residents to help by also watering<br />
the trees.<br />
‘‘If you have astreet tree outside<br />
your house we would love it if you<br />
could give it adrink,’’ council parks<br />
community assets officer Greg<br />
Barnard says.<br />
‘‘Any water you can give the trees<br />
will help them get through the hot,<br />
dry summer.<br />
‘‘A bucket of water every three or<br />
four days will make all the<br />
difference,’’ he says.<br />
It is particularly important to keep<br />
young trees well irrigated while they<br />
are still getting established.<br />
‘‘Once established, trees provide<br />
added value to nearby properties<br />
and are an important part of urban<br />
life,’’ he says.<br />
This is because they are<br />
aesthetically pleasing, purify the air<br />
by absorbing carbon dioxide and<br />
releasing oxygen back into the<br />
environment, provide shade and<br />
sound barriers, help create<br />
ecosystems to provide habitat for<br />
birds and insects, reduce runoff, and<br />
absorb pollutants.<br />

Could cameras ease<br />
community concerns?<br />
By this time of year manyofour New<br />
Year’s resolutions are starting to drop<br />
off as they compete with other demands<br />
on our timeand energy.<br />
I’m determined to run afull marathon,<br />
my first, in <strong>2021</strong> and Iwould appreciate<br />
tips from the runners out there. My<br />
motivationistohave atangible goal to<br />
encouragemetoget back in shape.You<br />
will be able to follow my training over<br />
the year on Facebook.<br />
Ihad to return to Wellington urgently<br />
as our countryfaced the latest Covid19<br />
threat.We’reall relieved to returnto<br />
alertlevel1,but it’s areminder to not be<br />
complacent. Ijoined my fellowMPs in<br />
Parliament to look at how we can<br />
support businesses affected by Covid19<br />
resurgences.<br />
It’s important we limit the economic<br />
and socialimpacts of the pandemic<br />
whilekeeping communities safe.<br />
Legislation suchasthe Covid<br />
ResurgenceSupport Paymentbill adds<br />
another layerofreassurancefor<br />
employees and business owners as we<br />
prepare for further changes in alert<br />
levels in our fight against thepandemic.<br />
In my last column,Iwroteabout an<br />
increase in concernsthat our<br />
communities are seeing more antisocial<br />
behaviour. Ibelieve that a<br />
communityled initiative that is making<br />
Hurunui communities feel safer could<br />
help Waimakariri residents.<br />
From ameetingwith local police, I<br />
came away with information about<br />
communityled camera technology<br />
across Hurunui District thathas helped<br />
reduce antisocial behaviour and<br />
increasecommunitysafety.<br />
Imet with Hurunui Mayor Marie<br />
Blacktohear more and was impressed<br />
by how communities, businessesand a<br />
software provider worked together to<br />
covereven the most isolated areas.<br />
In theWaimakariri, we are fortunate<br />
to have our bridges to thenorth and<br />
south, making idealvantagepoints for<br />
communityled camera technology.<br />
Mariegave me several examples of<br />
whereHurunui’s camerashad resulted<br />
in the swift returnofstolen items.This<br />
is acommunity conversation Ithink<br />
many residents would be interested in<br />
joining. I’d love to hear yourthoughts.<br />
This weekIjoined my fellow<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> MPs in standing together on<br />
the 10th anniversaryofthe 2011<br />
earthquakes to pay tribute to those who<br />
lost their lives, andtohonour our<br />
emergencyservicesand private citizens<br />
who helped others. They will be forever<br />
in our hearts and minds.<br />
Waimakariri<br />
Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor<br />
Resilienceonshow<br />
Thisweek we remember 10 yearsonfrom<br />
the <strong>February</strong> Christchurch earthquakes<br />
thatsadly claimed 185 livesand injured<br />
manymore.<br />
Ihad the honour to represent our<br />
community at the memorialserviceand<br />
lay awreath in remembrance.<br />
Lastyear we also recognised10years on<br />
fromWaimakariri’sown Septemberquake<br />
and at the time reflected on how far we<br />
havecome as acommunity.<br />
While earthquake anniversariesare<br />
solemn occasions, the majorityofevents<br />
I’vehad thepleasure of being invited to<br />
lately havebeen marking milestones,<br />
rebuilds,orare otherwise atestimony to<br />
resilience.<br />
On SundayIofficially reopenedthe<br />
Kaiapoi Gray RavenScout building. It is<br />
hometothe oldestscoutgroup in New<br />
Zealand, established 112 years ago.<br />
It is wonderful to see this building<br />
reborn after the earthquake anditis<br />
lookingfantastic. Well done to all the team,<br />
but aparticularacknowledgement to<br />
Group Leader Chris Thompsonfor his<br />
leadership and the generosityand support<br />
of so many that have helped get the<br />
building fit to be reopened.<br />
The weekend also recognised another<br />
significant milestone for the Sutherland<br />
family, which celebrated 100 yearsin<br />
business.<br />
Sutherland Timber and KaiapoiITM are<br />
businesseswell known in Waimakariri.<br />
CongratulationstoMurray, Annie, Jonnie,<br />
Davie and Amy on achievingthis milestone<br />
and for yoursignificantcontribution to our<br />
local economy and community.<br />
Hinemoa KaiapoiHockey Club also<br />
celebrated 125 years afew weeksago. It is<br />
the oldesthockey club in New Zealand. I<br />
really enjoyed attending the club’s<br />
celebrations. It’s great to see the club still<br />
going strong.<br />
On WaitangiDay we opened the new<br />
softball diamonds at Norman Kirk Park.<br />
The development of this, andthe wider<br />
park, are crucial to theregenerationof<br />
Kaiapoi. It is exciting to see the new park<br />
almost complete and it is hoped the<br />
community can enjoy allthe new facilities,<br />
fromthe BMX track to the dog park,tothe<br />
new diamonds.<br />
Kaiapoi Softball Club is an important<br />
partofthe local sporting community. With<br />
180 members, thislevel of support is<br />
impressive.<br />
As part of the openingIhad theprivilege<br />
to throw the first ball. Thankfully, it went<br />
in the right directionand apparently I<br />
threw astrike on the inside curve! (I am<br />
still trying to decipher what this means).<br />
We are fortunatetohave strong sports<br />
teams and arange of sportingevents in<br />
which to participate or enjoyasa<br />

commitment to sport in Waimakariri and<br />

Wayward wheeler to speak<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Epic paraplegic traveller Eamon<br />
Wood, also known as The Wayward<br />
Wheeler, is aguest speaker at the<br />
Kaiapoi Library next month.<br />
The Christchurch author of A<br />
Backpack, aChair and aBeard will<br />
speak about his wheelchair travels<br />
backpacking around the South Island<br />
of New Zealand, Britain, the United<br />
States and the fjords and lakes of<br />
Europe.<br />
At 28, Eamon had afull life working<br />
as an engineer and in sport as an elite<br />
athlete who had represented New<br />
Zealand at wheelchair tennis and<br />
basketball.<br />
But he wanted to push himself<br />
further to achieve more from life.<br />
He travelled solo during his New<br />
Zealand and overseas adventures,<br />
often slept rough and at times his<br />
journey was mentally and physically<br />
exhausting, but for him that was the<br />
best part.<br />
Eamon has been aparaplegic since<br />
he was aged 4and has found exercise<br />
to be agreat antidote for depression.<br />
He loves to push himself mentally<br />
and physically. He has learnt that,<br />
with this positive mindset, his<br />
wheelchair is no hindrance to<br />
whatever he wants to do.<br />
Eamon will be at the library next<br />
Thursday, March 4, from 5pm to<br />
6.30pm to give his talk and promote his<br />
book.<br />

Pool parties ahit<br />
It has been an endless summer for the<br />
community pools in Hurunui.<br />
It is the fourth summer that the<br />
Hurunui District Council has hosted a<br />
series of pool parties at school and<br />
community swimming pools around the<br />
district.<br />
Council community team leader Rhea<br />
Duffy said pool parties were all about<br />
hours of fun, music, games, and a<br />
sausage sizzle —all in the name of<br />
keeping the boredom at bay towards the<br />
end of the school holidays.<br />
“And it gives council staff the<br />
opportunity to connect with different<br />
members of our community in arelaxed<br />
environment –and not at ameeting<br />
around atable.”<br />
In total, 11 pool parties were held,<br />
with Waikari and Omihi hosting them for<br />
the first time.<br />
Pool parties are thirsty and hungry<br />
work, with more than 950 sausages<br />
consumed, more than 50 loaves of bread<br />
eaten, five litres of tomato sauce needed,<br />
and numerous fruit and vege sticks<br />
enjoyed.<br />
Amberley and Rotherham had the<br />
highest attendance rates, followed<br />
closely by Hawarden.<br />
Community feedback was hugely<br />
positive, with those in the district<br />
grateful for some extra summer fun for<br />
young people.

at the 105thAmuri A&P Show<br />
at the Rotherham Showgrounds on<br />
Saturday, March 6.<br />
Don has beenassociated with A&P<br />
showshis entirelife.<br />
“It’salwaysbeen an importantpart of<br />
family lifeand it’s agreat way for the<br />
community to come together and catch up<br />
with each other,’’ he says.<br />
Asecond generationshowpresident,<br />
Don followsinthe footsteps of his father,<br />
Stuart, whowas Amuri show president in<br />
the 1980s.<br />
Stuart and Jan McLean,who are now in<br />
their80s, havehad alongassociation with<br />
the show.<br />
Stuart is planning to compete in the dog<br />
trials again this year, while Jan continues<br />
with her love of entering displays in the<br />
floral section.<br />
Don and Annie’s threechildren, Ben,<br />
Tom and Millie,are carrying on the family<br />
enthusiasmfor the show and will all be on<br />
hand to helpand participate, including a<br />
little familyrivalry in thepet dog section.<br />
Ben farms in PortLevy,onBanks<br />
Peninsula, and Tom farms in Gisborne,<br />
while Millieisavaluer in Christchurch.<br />
The McLean family farm is 10kmfrom<br />
Waiau. It runs3000 ewes, plus<br />
replacements andyoungstock,which are<br />
finished under irrigation.<br />
The flock has aWaireriRomney base<br />
and has alambingpercentageofabout<br />
145%.<br />
“It works well. The Waireri Romneyisa<br />
very easycareanimal, they’regood sheep<br />
and the fertility is very good,” Don says.<br />
‘‘They’re avery robust sheep and they<br />
seem to keepthemselves in good condition<br />
and reartheir lambs very well.’’<br />
AngusHerefordcross cows are also run<br />
on the property and mated with Angus<br />
bulls, while Charolais bulls have recently<br />
been introduced as terminal sires.<br />
Annie also works in the area as areal<br />
estate agentwith Harcourts Hanmer<br />
Springs, having previously worked in<br />
health administrationand as an<br />
earthquake support navigator.<br />
The Amuri show district takesinanarea<br />

‘‘Culverden and Rotherhamhave more<br />
dairy farming and HanmerSprings has the<br />
tourismand outdooradventure, whereas<br />
Waiau is your more traditionalsheep<br />
farmingarea.<br />
‘‘Waiauwas hugelyimpactedbythe 2016<br />
earthquake and that was also agreat<br />
example of the community pulling<br />
together and watching out for eachother.’’<br />
This year’s show will feature awool<br />
showcase organised by Cheviot farmer<br />
LyndaDicksonand apetting zoo.<br />
“There is often talk about therural/<br />
urbandivide and at the Amuri show we<br />
are very aware of that,soit’s an<br />
opportunity to make it an enjoyable and<br />
educational day for the people who aren’t<br />
closely involved in the rural way of life,”<br />
Don says.<br />
‘‘We’ve been going for 105 years and the<br />
showisgetting stronger and stronger.<br />
‘‘It’s quite abig day now and the<br />
showgrounds are packedwith people and<br />
theyall have agreatday out.’’<br />

Wool’sversatility to be showcased<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Wool willfeatureatthe Amuri A&P Show<br />
next month.<br />
Cheviotfarmer Lynda Dickson will be<br />
taking her wool showcase to the<br />
Rotherham Showgrounds on Saturday,<br />
March6.<br />
‘‘It’s very important, especially the way<br />
the wool industry is at the moment,’’ show<br />
president Don McLean says.<br />
‘‘The more information that getsout into<br />
the public arenathe better to promote the<br />
benefits of woolversussynthetics, with<br />
wool being the moresustainable.’’<br />
Mrs Dickson has developedher wool<br />
showcase in partnership with the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>VeterinaryClinic.Ithas<br />
featured at the Cheviot A&P Show in recent<br />
years and at the Amberley A&P Show last<br />
October.<br />
‘‘One of the mainreasons for doing this is<br />
to get peoplethinking about the adverse<br />
effect synthetic products are havingonour<br />
environmentand how wooland other<br />
naturalfibres, that are biodegradableand<br />
renewable,can replace synthetics and<br />
plastics or oilbasedproducts.<br />
‘‘It’s been areally cool project to do<br />
becausewhen you approach peoplethey<br />
are really enthusiastic,’’ Mrs Dickson says.<br />
The display willfeature thediversityof<br />
wool products suchasinthe home, clothing<br />
and anumber of other practical uses.<br />
‘‘There’s awide range of uses so we<br />
encourage people to come along and have<br />
alook at what you can do with wool,’’ she<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Wool is really starting to makea<br />
comeback and it’s biodegradable, so it<br />
breaks down quite quickly, unlikeother<br />
products, making it agood alternative to<br />
plastics, and we will have adisplayofthat.’’<br />

‘‘We just need to keep getting the word<br />
out there that it’s renewable and we keep<br />
growing it every year,’’ Mrs Dicksonsays.<br />
‘‘And it breaks downatthe end of itslife<br />
cycle,soyou can put yourpure wool<br />
product in the garden at the end of its life<br />
and it breaks down and puts nutrients back<br />

Sisters deliver recipe for success<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The ‘‘Two Raw Sisters’’ are looking<br />
forward to returning to the Amuri A&P<br />
Show on Saturday, March 6.<br />
Like so many Cantabrians,<br />
Christchurch siblings Rosa and Margo<br />
Flanagan had their plans thrown into<br />
turmoil by Covid19 after performing<br />
their cooking demonstration at last<br />
year’s Amuri A&P Show.<br />
The pair were due to fly out to<br />
Melbourne and to the United States in<br />
March last year, but instead retreated to<br />
their parents’ kitchen to produce online<br />
workshops.<br />
Over the next two months, the sisters<br />
have afull schedule of A&P shows to<br />
visit, should New Zealand remain at<br />
alert level 1.<br />
‘‘It was great. We love doing these sort<br />
of shows,’’ says Margo, recalling last<br />
year’s visit to the Rotherham<br />
Showgrounds.<br />
‘‘It was quite funny returning to mum<br />
and dad’s last year, because it was<br />
where we started.<br />
‘‘We kept ourselves busy testing out<br />
recipes and everyone was really good<br />
and really responsive to the online stuff.<br />
‘‘We enjoyed the online workshops,<br />
but we are looking forward to seeing<br />
people rather than looking at the screen,<br />
which is abit boring sometimes.’’<br />
Since performing at last year’s Amuri<br />
A&P Show, the sisters have published<br />
their second book, All Eaters Welcome,<br />
and they are already working on their<br />
third book.<br />
‘‘The plantbased movement is<br />
definitely becoming more of athing, but<br />
we want to reach out to all eaters,’’<br />
Margo says.<br />
‘‘It’s about starting your meals with<br />
vegetables and then you can add meat if<br />
you want.<br />
All eaters welcome ... The<br />
Raw Sisters, from left, Rosa<br />
and Margo Flanagan, will be<br />
back at the Amuri A&P Show.<br />
PHOTO: FILE<br />
‘‘Our recipes explore fun and exiting<br />
ways to use those pantry staples and to<br />
show people how delicious plants can<br />
be.’’<br />
The sisters will be giving a<br />
demonstration at 2pm at the show with<br />
two recipes: Apear, ginger and peanut<br />
butter bircher and abroccoli,<br />
buckwheat and sesame salad.<br />
‘‘They are perfect for taking to work or<br />
for when you are entertaining,’’ Margo<br />
says.<br />
‘‘And we will be looking at substituting<br />
ingredients. People often come to a<br />
recipe and get stressed out about it<br />
because they can’t find all the<br />
ingredients, so it’s about being flexible<br />
—one recipe can become 20 recipes.’’<br />

Waiau School has had abusy starttothe<br />
new school year.<br />
PrincipalCraigSedgwick says his staff<br />

“The children are superlucky to have a<br />
dedicated group of teachers and other<br />
adultsworking hard to provideexciting<br />
and engaging learning experiences.”<br />
Swimming in the new pool has played a<br />
big partintheir learning so far this year,<br />
he says. “We have abrilliant pool facility<br />
and some expert swimming instruction to<br />
help us achieve our swimmingrelated<br />
goals.<br />
“Wai Swim visitedusrain or shine for<br />
nearlytwo weeks and had small group<br />
sessions to develop confidence and<br />
technique.<br />
“Each afternoonhas beenspent in the<br />

resident swimming coach, Caroline<br />
Eastmond. The progress of our swimmers<br />
has been very impressive.”<br />
The Waiau School swimming sports<br />

“Everyone displayed fabulous<br />
sportsmanship and put in their best<br />
effort. We had very proudswimmersand<br />

Stunt-ridingadrawcard<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
AChristchurchbased trick rider is sure<br />
to thrill the crowd at lunchtime during<br />
the Amuri A&P Show on March 6.<br />
Sonia Duncan, who has appeared in<br />
blockbuster movies as astunt double,<br />
will ride in the main ring after<br />
president Don McLean’s address at<br />
about 12.30pm.<br />
Sonia took up trick riding more than<br />
25 years ago, when at the age of 29 she<br />
was getting bored with simply riding<br />
her horses. She saw anewspaper<br />
advertisement which said: ‘‘Stunt<br />
riders wanted —have you got what it<br />
takes?’’<br />
‘‘I decided to give it ago. Iwent along,<br />
got trained up and became part of a<br />
Wild West live show.’’<br />
Sonia went on to work as astunt<br />
double for Hollywood actor Liv Tyler in<br />
Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy, The Lord<br />
of the Rings.<br />
Working days while on the set started<br />
early, with wardrobe and makeup.<br />
Then there would be the ‘‘hurry up and<br />
wait’’ phase.<br />
‘‘We would be told to hurry to the set.<br />
Once there, we would wait. Sometimes<br />
we would wait all day and not shoot a<br />
scene,’’ Sonia says.<br />
Being astunt double horse rider<br />
requires patience, she says.<br />
‘‘It was pretty basic stuff, cantering on<br />
the horse, stopping on cue and jumping<br />
off in along dress.’’<br />
Stunt horses need to be taught to<br />
canter in astraight line and not to stop<br />
until asked.<br />

Club offers awarm, welcoming atmosphere<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Nearly 30 years ago the Darnley<br />
Clubbegan providing quality<br />
daycare for elderly folk.<br />
It initiallybegan in the Kaiapoi<br />
Working Men’s Club one day a<br />
week.<br />
Today, it has grown to afivedayaweekoperation<br />
at its own<br />
premises in the Kaiapoi<br />
Community Centre,formerly<br />
known as the St Paul’s Centre.<br />
There is afulltime coordinator,<br />
parttime office<br />
worker and activitiesorganiser, a<br />
parttime personal carer, parttimecook,<br />
and two mini bus<br />
drivers, alongside 27 volunteers.<br />
The Kaiapoi Daycentre for<br />
Seniors Inc, known as the<br />
DarnleyClub, grew out of<br />
concern for older people,<br />
particularlythoseliving alone,<br />
who longed for company,<br />
fellowshipand good food.<br />
Anumberofolder people from<br />
Kaiapoi were going to aRangiora<br />
resthome for daycare. However,<br />
the facility could cope onlywith a<br />
set numberofpeople,and those<br />
wantingthe servicewas growing.<br />
DarnleyClub secretaryGill<br />
Rayner saysaworkinggroup set<br />
about setting up asimilar<br />
ventureinKaiapoi, finding a<br />
venue, and developing a<br />
programme.<br />
It opened on May 16, 1991.<br />
The club celebratesits 30th<br />
birthday in May this year.<br />
The club has 57 ‘‘friends’’<br />
(clients),most of whom are<br />
funded by the <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
DistrictHealthBoard, with<br />
which the centrehas acontract.<br />
Up to 18 ‘‘friends’’ are catered<br />
for each day with the aim of<br />
providing somewhere for those<br />
living alonetogofor company, a<br />
place for those who have been ill<br />
to get supportand fellowship,<br />
and for familyand carers to have<br />
somewhere to leavetheir loved<br />
ones while theytake some time<br />
out.<br />
‘‘Our elderly folk are pickedup<br />
in ourown minibus each<br />
morningfrom Clarkville, the<br />
beach communities, Kaiapoi,<br />
Tuahiwiand Belfast, and are<br />
taken home at 3pm.<br />
‘‘Theyenjoyahomebaked<br />
morningtea and anutritious<br />
homecookedmidday meal, as<br />
well as afternoon tea.’’<br />
Gill has beensecretary for 25<br />
years. ‘‘I am part of the furniture.<br />
Ilove it (theclub), and Ienjoyit,’’<br />
she says.<br />
CoordinatorDawn Armitage<br />
says the elderly folk enjoy a<br />
relaxing day of companionship<br />
and laughter, in awarm and<br />
caringenvironment,takingpart<br />
in themany activities such as<br />
crafts, games, quizzes,<br />
physiotherapist exercises,<br />
outingsand entertainment.<br />
Dawn, who took overthe coordinator<br />
role fromChris<br />
Greengrass in 2014,says it is a<br />
wonderful place to work.<br />
‘‘It is areally warm,friendly<br />
place where we have alot of fun,<br />
and where thereisalot of<br />
friendshipand warmth, good<br />
food, fun activities, and outings.’’<br />
Dawn says the clubisgreatfor<br />
those livingalone who do not see<br />
anybody fromone day to the next,<br />
or for carers and family to geta<br />
Companionship ... Members of the Darnley Club enjoy high tea.<br />
littlebit of respite.<br />
‘‘It means alot of thingstoa<br />
whole lot of people,’’ she says.<br />
Duringthe lockdown, when the<br />
club had to closeoperations, staff<br />
and volunteers kept in touch with<br />
members withregular phone<br />
calls,and made sure they had<br />
meals and no worries.<br />
‘‘It was just someonethere for<br />
them, that cared and could offer<br />
ahand of friendship.’’<br />
The club enjoys strong<br />
community support, and backing<br />
from everyone from politicians to<br />
volunteerswho sell theirtwo<br />
fundraising raffles, and lend a<br />

Natural wonders ... The Waimakariri District Council is working on its policy around significant natural areas.<br />
Council examines its SNA policy<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Affectedlandownersare being<br />
encouraged to give theirviews on policy<br />
around significant natural areas(SNA).<br />
The Waimakariri District Council, as<br />
part of its ongoing District Plan Review, is<br />
contacting the owners of properties<br />
identified to have SNAs.<br />
SNAs are areas of vegetation thathave<br />
high biodiversity values and are important<br />
for preventing the extinction of rare<br />
species and ecosystems in the district.<br />
Councils are required to identify and<br />
protect such areas under the Resource<br />
ManagementAct.<br />
The processofidentifying SNAs on<br />
private land has proventobecontentious<br />
in some partsofNew Zealand, largely<br />
becauseofthe restrictionsonland use<br />
that can be associatedwith the<br />
classification.<br />
The full details of the rules and<br />
incentives around SNAs will be publicly<br />
available when the Proposed District Plan<br />
is notified later this year.<br />
The public will be invited to make<br />
submissions.<br />
However, the council hopes to enter into<br />
discussionswith landowners much<br />
earlier, development planning manager<br />
Trevor Ellis says.<br />
‘‘We appreciatethat many SNAsexist<br />
and continue to survive, thanks to the<br />
effortsofgenerations of locallandowners<br />
who have valuedand looked after them,’’<br />
Mr Ellissays.<br />
‘‘We want to work collaboratively with<br />
landowners to workthrough their<br />
concerns and make sure the important<br />
ecological values of these areas are<br />
maintained.’’<br />
Landownerswill be contacted in stages,<br />
starting withthose who already havean<br />
SNA listed in the existingDistrict Plan or<br />
anew SNA identified throughafieldvisit.<br />
Landownerswith other new SNAswill<br />
be contacted later in the year in order to<br />
PHOTO: FILE<br />
providemore time to work throughthe<br />
information, Mr Ellis says.<br />
‘‘It’s importanttousthat we get out there<br />
and talk to landowners facetoface.<br />
‘‘This willgive us the best chance to<br />
workthrough any concerns before the<br />
proposed DistrictPlan is released.’’<br />
The proposed DistrictPlan willcontain<br />
rules abouthow an areaofland that<br />
contains an SNA can be developed and<br />
used.<br />
Thiswill include limits on indigenous<br />
vegetationclearance, while stillallowing<br />
for some maintenance activitiessuch as<br />
fence and trackupkeep.<br />
Mr Ellis says the council is alsolooking<br />
at ways it can provide incentivesto<br />
landowners who provide protection for<br />
their SNA.<br />
Landowners may also be eligible for the<br />
council’sBiodiversity Fund,whichcan<br />
providefunding to assist with the<br />
protection and restoration of identified<br />
SNAs.<br />

innings fromLukeWaghorn.<br />
Waghorn clubbed Seftonfor 90 runsoff 47<br />
balls, including five sixes and seven fours. He<br />
was well supported by opener Calvin Scott<br />
(54 runsoff 87 balls),LachieStove(46 off 55)<br />
and Dave Fulton’sunbeaten 44 off 59.<br />
Chasing the highscore, Sefton got off to a<br />
perfect startwith McKenzie Smith (54 off 44)<br />
and Chris Warner(70 off 78)compilinga<br />
century opening stand.<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> seam bowler FraserSheat,<br />
batting at No. 4, then smashed 72 off 48 balls,<br />
combining withMatt Laffey, who made an<br />
unbeaten 64, in an unbroken 118run<br />
partnership to claim adominant eightwicket<br />
win with four overs to spare.<br />
Southbrook falters<br />
At Weedons Domain, Southbrook paceman<br />
Jono Green baggedfive wicketsashis side<br />
bowled out the homeside for just 171.<br />
Former <strong>Canterbury</strong> wicketkeeper Paul<br />
Ruggshowed he has still got the touch, topscoring<br />
with an unbeaten 35.<br />
Southbrook got off to asolid start in its<br />
chase, and was sitting prettywith former<br />
Black Cap Shanan Stewart and Jack Boyle,<br />
returningfrom <strong>Canterbury</strong> duties and along<br />
Super Smashcampaign, bothatthe crease.<br />
But when they fellrelatively cheaply, in<br />
quick succession, Southbrook’s hunt for just<br />
its second win of the season faltered, and<br />
eventually fell 15 runs short.<br />
Hamish D’Arcy did the mostdamage with<br />
the white ball, returning the fine figuresof<br />

New Tsunami Evacuation Zones<br />
for Waimakariri<br />
Council has updated tsunami evacuation zones in<br />
response to modelling that showed flooding from<br />
atsunami could travel further inland than<br />
previously thought.<br />
The District now has three tsunami evacuation<br />
zones: red, orange and yellow, and the Council is<br />
encouraging residents to visit the website and<br />
learn more about the zones. The new tsunami<br />
evacuation zones will be reflected inLand<br />
Information Memorandums (LIMs).<br />
While the red evacuation zone has only seen minor<br />
changes, it’s the most likely to be affected by a<br />
tsunami. It covers estuaries, beaches and rivers<br />
which can experience strong currents and surges in<br />
the water from tsunamis of any size.<br />
The orange evacuation zone covers land that could<br />
be flooded during large tsunamis and already<br />
included the coastal settlements at The Pines<br />
Beach, Kairaki, Woodend Beach and Waikuku<br />
Beach. It has been revised to extend the length<br />
of the coast and further inland.<br />
The most notable change is the introduction of the<br />
yellow evacuation zone, which covers large parts<br />
of Kaiapoi and asection of Pegasus. This area is<br />
least likely to be affected, but could be flooded or<br />
isolated in avery large tsunami.<br />
"The modelling is based on worst-case scenarios which<br />
shows the yellowzone could potentially be flooded<br />
in avery large tsunami from adistant source,” says<br />
Emergency Management Advisor Brennan Wiremu.<br />
“These events are rare and we’d have atleast<br />
12 hours warning, so residents don’t need to be<br />
alarmed, however they should have aplan for what<br />
to do if they need to evacuate.”<br />
The Council is working with the affected<br />
communities and emergency services to develop<br />
new tsunami response strategies.<br />
Brennan says residents in the affected areas can<br />
expect to receive information in their mailbox<br />
about the tsunami zones shortly, which will be<br />
followed bydrop-in sessions and opportunities for<br />
people to ask questions.<br />

evacuation zones at waimakariri.govt.nz/tsunami<br />

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)<br />
THE HOPE OF ISRAEL -HOPE<br />
OF TRUE BIBLEBELIEVERS<br />
What is our hope? Does it matter what we believe<br />
concerning it? The Bible, being God’s word expressing<br />
hope to mankind, reveals the REAL hope and not<br />
something that has evolved through man’s desires.<br />
Truth in the world can be as fake as anyone likes, but<br />
God and his promises are unchanging and have been<br />
instituted in Genesis. Learning of God, truth is critical to<br />
our understanding.<br />
If you are wondering about the meaning of life, this<br />
presentation brings hope clearing the way through<br />
cloudy religious teaching.<br />
