Angst over 

big water 

shake-up 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Massive changes in the 

management of waterdelivery, 

treatmentand disposal, likely 

to affect every ratepayer, will 

be laid out in March. 

They are part of ahuge 

shakeup by the Government, 

which says comprehensive, 

systemwide reform is needed 

fordrinking,wastewater and 

stormwater. 

The ThreeWaters Reforms 

to be announced next month 

are likely to be the most 

significant shakeup for local 

government since the 1986 

amalgamations. 

Councils are likelytolose 

controlofthese core services to 

anew corporateentity. 

Concerns havebeen aired by 

community representatives 

around the country that the 

body, with no elected 

personnel, will have no 

accountabilitytoratepayers. 

The reforms could alsosee 

compulsory chlorination of 

drinking water. 

It willleave North 

Canterbury councilspondering 

their future, andwondering 

what might be next in line for 

Government reform. 

There are67different 

councilswhichown and 

operate mostofthe country’s 

drinking water,wastewater 

andstormwater services. 

The government says local 

authorities face urgent 

challenges in providing these 

services, including funding, 

meetingsafety standardsand 

environmental expectations,as 

wellasresiliencetonatural 

hazards, climatechange, and 

supporting growth. 

It is likely the announcement 

nextmonth will see water 

services brought into asmall 

number of entities encompassingmultipleregions. 

The exactsize, shape and 

design of theseentities is still 

being workedthrough. 

Private and communityrun 

water supplies could also find 

themselves capturedbythe 

reforms. 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black 

and chiefexecutive Hamish 

Dobbie are concerned their 

residents and ratepayersknow 

little aboutwhat the reforms 

mean. 

Theyfear the rural voice may 

be lost, as big cities and urban 

populations takethe lion’s 

share of the limelight and 

funding,once the changes kick 

in. 

‘‘Wedon’t want to be 

scaremongering, but we want 

there to be adeveloping 

awarenesssopeople can make 

informed decisions. It is not all 

about local government. It is 

about water and people.’’

Big artwork relocated 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

Nathan Pohio’s giant artwork, 

Raise the anchor, unfurl the 

sails, set course to the centre of 

an ever setting sun! has been 

temporarily removed from the 

Waimakariri District Council 

chambers. 

It has been installed in the 

Chamber Gallery, in the 

Rangiora Library, where more 

members of the public will be 

able to see the widely 

acclaimed work. 

It was commissioned by the 

Waimakariri Art Collection 

Trust specifically for the 

council chambers and was 

initially installed there in July 

2019. 

The shortterm move to the 

Chamber Gallery has been 

done to allow repair work to be 

completed at the council’s 

service centre in Rangiora. 

The artwork is a 

reproduction of a1905 

Canterbury Times photograph 

recording the British governorgeneral, 

Lord Plunket, and his 

wife, Lady Plunket, meeting 

with Tuahuriri kaumatua at 

Tuahiwi. 

The reproduction is the 

fourth version of the artwork, 

which are all in permanent 

collections. 

The work will will remain on 

show in the Chamber Gallery 

until March 5.

The coursetookshape overthe past year,and 

was finished during afrantic couple of months 

leading into the event. 

‘‘We weredoing hugehours to get the track 

sorted, and to organise the event. 

‘‘There was alot more involved than I 

thought there would be,’’ Liam says. 

It all went according to plan on the day,due 

mainly to his parentsallowing him to use half 

theirpaddocks to build the course, he says. 

Sponsors swung in behind the event, 

helping withthe groundwork and 

infrastructure, and through donations to help 

run the event and providingtrophies. 

Liam says the eventwill be backnext year, 

with afew minor changesand alarger 

grandstand so people can seethe action. 

He says ahighlight was adoublebackflip by

the many hours put in makingthe jumps. 

Prizewinnerswere: BestoverallBMX rider,

Worry over water reforms 

From Page 1 

Mrs Black says the water unit might 

simply change the colour of their 

shirts and move down the corridor 

to work under anew authority. But 

there could also be more 

substantial changes. 

The governing authority would 

likely be citybased, and those with 

issues in the far flung Hurunui 

rural district might be avoice in 

the wilderness. 

Mr Dobbie says he does not fear a 

loss of jobs, as schemes still have to 

be run. However, he questions 

whether the current level of 

service will remain, and at what 

cost. 

‘‘Will it be better?’’ he asks. 

Mrs Black says there is ahuge 

amount of trust between 

landowners and the council’s water 

staff. They knew to shut gates, and 

about washing their vehicles 

before entering properties to stop 

the spread of pests such as Chilean 

Surplus gear

NorthCanterbury Ridingfor the 

Disabled (NCRDA)has helda 

successfulsaleofsurplushorse 

equipment. 

ChairwomanLin Bisman said 

the February13sale at its 

Millton Ave base in Rangiora 

raised $557. 

‘‘There were no prices on 

anything and, as you can 

imagine, some people were 

incredibly generous paying 

more thanthey needed to for 

things that were really worth 

very little, and others got an 

absolute bargain for acoupleof 

dollars.Swingsand roundabouts, 

but we were delighted 

with the result and it cleared a 

lot of our surplus gearout.'' 

Its next fundraiserwill be its 

annual horse trek on March 7. 

‘‘Theride will takeinthe 

stunning Mt Lowry homestead 

and the Okuku River,and will be 

led by renowned horseman 

Lyndon Morris.’’

include morning and afternoon

needle grass. 

She says this trust could be 

watered down if staff were not 

local. She also fears any problems 

in remote areas might be put on the 

back burner while water staff deal 

with acity issue affecting more 

people. 

This had the potential to leave 

farmers and stock in desperate 

situations. 

March will clarify the structure 

of the governing body, based on the 

Scottish model of water delivery 

and disposal. 

New Zealand could be divided 

into about five regions, loosely 

based on the present Super Rugby 

franchises. 

Mr Dobbie says there have 

already been rumblings from one 

large metropolitan area that says it 

won’t embrace the reforms. 

At first councils could opt in. 

Now, they have to opt out. 

‘‘The big boys need to be in it to 

make it work,’’ he says.

Louise waited years for diagnosis 

Louise Davy is determined not to let arare disease limit 

howshe livesher life. She shares her story with Robyn 

Bristow ahead of Rare Disease DayonSunday. 

Rangiora’sLouise Davy was 

told her health problems were 

all in her head by aGP. 

For more thanthree decades 

she battled debilitating 

migraines, dizziness,nausea, 

and had difficulties with 

balance. 

At 37, after her brother paid 

for her to see aneurologist, she 

was diagnosedwith Episodic 

Ataxia Type 2, acondition that 

impairs movement. 

People experience episodes 

of poor coordination and or 

balance (ataxia), which can last 

several hours.They can have 

difficulty speaking,double 

vision, ringing in theirears, 

muscle tremors, and 

temporaryparalysis. 

Episodes can be triggered by 

external factors such as stress, 

medication, fever, physical 

exertion, caffeine, and alcohol. 

It is believed to affectone in 

100,000 people worldwide. 

Louise is amember of the 

Muscular Dystrophy 

Association of New Zealand’s 

Canterbury branch, and has 

been told by the Neuromuscular 

Disease Registrythat 

she is the only Kiwi registered 

withthe condition. 

Louise, ateacher at 

Southbrook School, is speaking 

out about her rare disease,as 

she feels she needs to advocate 

for those with hidden diseases, 

and to stop peoplefrom 

judging thembecausethey are 

not aware of whatthey are 

living with. This includes using 

disabledpeople’s car parks. 

Louise clearlyremembersas 

an 8yearold feelingdizzy and 

thinking she was going to be 

sick. By 12 she was 

misdiagnosedwith migraines. 

Medicationdidn’t help. 

‘‘I had blurry vision, Iwas 

vomiting, unable to walk 

straight. It was likeIwas 

drunk.But migraine 

medicationdidn’thelp. The 

only thing that helpedwas 

sleep, and letting the body 

repair itself.’’ 

By the time she reached high 

school she washavingthree 

days off aweek on average 

becauseshe was so sick. 

As ayoung solo motherwith 

two childrenshe became quite 

introverted, and continuedto 

fight increasing episodes. She 

gave up on doctors, and when 

she returned to teaching she 

had areliever on standby, 

along withher mum, who 

would comeand pick her up 

and takeher home whenan 

episodehappened. 

AGPrefused to refer her to 

aneurological specialist 

throughthe public system 

becauseitwas supposedly 

wasting aspecialist’s time. 

Instead, he suggestedshe 

needed apsychiatrist. 

Eventually helpcame, 

thankstoher brother, whopaid 

for her to visit aneurologist. A 

run around the park requested 

by him during her consultation 

brought on the symptoms, and 

from there Louise’s life took a 

turn for the better. 

Medication helped her 

episodic ataxia, alongwith 

adviceonhow to avoid stress— 

the main trigger of her disease.

the medication, believing the 

disease was too rarefor Louise 

to have it. 

‘‘My mum was my biggest 

supporter. She could see it 

wasn’t in my head. She 

believed in me,’’ Louise says. 

Today, her children, Ben and 

Jo, and her now husband, Pete, 

are her greatest support,along 

with an international 

Facebookgroup. 

‘‘Initially, Iasked lots of 

questionsbut now I’m helping 

other people. I’m making sure 

that otherpeople don’tfeel as

Concerns over quarry'seffects on wells 


There is potential for groundwatertobe 

contaminated from the proposed quarry 

at Rangioraracecourse, opponents were 

told at ameeting thisweek. 

Residents attendingaStop the Quarry 

meeting on Tuesdaynight learned the 

proposed quarry was within the 

Drinking Water ProtectionZonesfor 

Rangiora. 

The zones protect severallocal wells, 

and bores. The bores supply Rangiora’s 

backup and emergencywater supplies. 

JohnMather, who has facilitated 

several meetings of residents, said the 

paper, presented to the opponents, 

outlinedthe significanceofthe 

protection zones. 

The Taggart application to ECan and 

the Waimakariri District Council for the 

quarry at the racecourse had a 

‘‘worrying lackofcompliance’’ with 

guidelines on disposal of class 5 

material which wouldbeused to fill 

areas excavated for gravel, it said. 

‘‘The excavated areathen effectively 

becomesalandfill, as the excavated 

area is backfilled withclass 5material 

sourcedfrom elsewhere,’’ the paper 

said. 

It raisedconcerns aboutthe backfill 

containing unidentifiedcontaminated 

material which could leach into 

groundwater,with a‘‘consequentialrisk 

of contaminationofnearbybores and 

the backup/emergency watersupplies

Momentum builds 

for dark sky project 


Adark sky projectinKaikoura,if 

successful, could provide aprecious 

winter boost to tourism operators. 

It will also be alegacy to the work of 

the North Canterbury Transport 

InfrastructureRecovery team(NCTIR). 

AKaikoura Dark Sky Reserve 

Working Grouphas takenoverfrom 

NCTIRtolead aproject establishinga 

dark sky reserve above Kaikoura, 

bringing to life the vision of its project 

manager, Tony Gallagher. 

About50people attended a 

presentation on the concept recently, 

wherework already done on thereserve 

was outlined along with what regulatory 

toolsmight be needed to protectthe 

nightsky from light pollution. 

Working groupleader Nicky 

McArthur said the presentation was 

aimedatgetting community support, 

finding funding options, and looking at 

what tools might be neededtohelp 

darken the skiesbystemming the flow 

of light from the town. 

She saysastrotourism opportunities 

wouldbehigh during the winter, which 

is traditionally theoff seasonfor 

tourism in Kaikoura. 

This would boostthe local economy 

and highlight thecultural significance 

of Matariki and Maorilore. 

‘‘Kaikoura has the opportunity to 

make the mostofdark sky tourism, with 

aunique story of mountains to thesea, 

and to the sky,’’she says. 

Apreapplicationhas already been 

lodged withthe InternationalDarkSky 

Association (IDA), and movesare afoot 

to prepareamain application. 

Nicky says the concept has been given 

aboost by NCTIR, whichfunded three 

monitors.Resultshave already shown 

there is ‘‘some outstanding darkness’’. 

The councilsupports the projectin 

principle, and there is growing support 

in the community. 

The Royal Astronomical Societyof 

New Zealand, the University of 

Canterbury and the IDA are alsobehind 

the project. 

Nicky saysthere is an urgency to push 

on with the projectand lobby the 

council to considerregulations on 

lightingwhen subdivision plans and 

building activity arelodged with the 

local authority. 

She says the dark sky concept goes 

beyondthe enjoyment that humans 

would get fromareserve. 

‘‘Nocturnal species are threatened by 

light pollution and many arefacing 

extinction. Losing our mothsand 

insects fromthe bottomofthe food web 

is havinghuge impacts worldwide,’’ 

Nicky says. 

The presentation, hosted by the 

working party and the Kaikoura 

Museum, started with ashort slide show 

from the evolving working group of 

Nicky,DrLarry Field and Will Doughty, 

who is Kaikoura’s new chief executive. 

Guest speakers included Kyra Xavia, 

aresearcher, writer, and dark sky 

advocate basedinDunedin; andJohn 

Hearnshaw, aNew Zealand astronomer 

and Emeritus Professor of Astronomy at 

the University of Canterbury. 

Nicky says adark sky reservedoes not 

mean ‘‘we are going to be in the dark’’.

How to ‘have avoice’ 

By DAVID HILL 

NorthCanterbury’s youth are 

set to converge on Kaiapoi for a 

weekend of learning howto 

make an impact. 

The Hurunui Youth Council 

is hosting an initiative called 

The Social Experiment,a 

programme whichencourages 

youngpeople to ‘‘have avoice’’, 

Hurunui District Council youth 

development officer Ward 

Sherman says. 

‘‘This is agreat opportunity 

for local youth to gainnew 

skills and make new friends, 

and it’s open to Waimakariri 

and Kaikoura youth as well, 

whichisagoodexample of 

differentNorth Canterbury 

areas working together,’’ Ward 

says. 

‘‘The programme teaches 

youth thatthey have avoice 

withintheir communityand 

helps them developthe tools 

they needtobeheard.’’ 

The Social Experiment was 

developed in New Zealand to 

offer trainingtopeopleofall 

ages to empower them to make 

adifference. 

‘‘The teamare very 

passionate, knowledgeable and 

skilled —afact that’s apparent 

from the results they have 

achieved in the past,’’ Ward 

says. 

The event is being held at 

Blue Skies in Kaiapoi this 

Saturday and Sunday. 

Adventure course on offer 

The Rangiora Lions Club is 

offering aNorth Canterbury 

person the chance to take 

part in alifechanging 

outdoor adventure course. 

Berwick Outdoor 

Adventure courses are held at 

Berwick Lodge, 45km south of 

Dunedin, and have been run 

for 28 years. 

They offer confidencebuilding 

team activities to 

help people push their limits, 

and expand their personal 

and professional goals. 

Activities include abseiling, 

kayaking, first aid, mountain 

biking and group challenges. 

Participants need to be 

reasonably fit, aged over 18 

and be able to travel to 

Dunedin to attend on May 7to 

May 15. 

Club president Tini Lawry 

says the course can be lifechanging. 

‘‘We want to 

encourage alocal person who 

may have faced afew challenges 

in 2020 to step out of 

their comfort zone,” she says. 

Applicants must live in 

North Canterbury and can 

apply by writing abiography 

(maximum 500 words) about 

themselves, detailing how the 

experience would benefit 

them, and send it to

close on March 10. 

Befriend a 

tree,give 

it adrink 


Waimakariri residents are being 

encouraged to water trees on the 

berms outside their properties 

during hot, dry weather. 

Although the Waimakariri District 

Council does watering rounds 

during the summer, it is asking 

residents to help by also watering 

the trees. 

‘‘If you have astreet tree outside 

your house we would love it if you 

could give it adrink,’’ council parks 

community assets officer Greg 

Barnard says. 

‘‘Any water you can give the trees 

will help them get through the hot, 

dry summer. 

‘‘A bucket of water every three or 

four days will make all the 

difference,’’ he says. 

It is particularly important to keep 

young trees well irrigated while they 

are still getting established. 

‘‘Once established, trees provide 

added value to nearby properties 

and are an important part of urban 

life,’’ he says. 

This is because they are 

aesthetically pleasing, purify the air 

by absorbing carbon dioxide and 

releasing oxygen back into the 

environment, provide shade and 

sound barriers, help create 

ecosystems to provide habitat for 

birds and insects, reduce runoff, and 

absorb pollutants.

Could cameras ease 

community concerns? 

By this time of year manyofour New 

Year’s resolutions are starting to drop 

off as they compete with other demands 

on our timeand energy. 

I’m determined to run afull marathon, 

my first, in 2021 and Iwould appreciate 

tips from the runners out there. My 

motivationistohave atangible goal to 

encouragemetoget back in shape.You 

will be able to follow my training over 

the year on Facebook. 

Ihad to return to Wellington urgently 

as our countryfaced the latest Covid19 

threat.We’reall relieved to returnto 

alertlevel1,but it’s areminder to not be 

complacent. Ijoined my fellowMPs in 

Parliament to look at how we can 

support businesses affected by Covid19 

resurgences. 

It’s important we limit the economic 

and socialimpacts of the pandemic 

whilekeeping communities safe. 

Legislation suchasthe Covid 

ResurgenceSupport Paymentbill adds 

another layerofreassurancefor 

employees and business owners as we 

prepare for further changes in alert 

levels in our fight against thepandemic. 

In my last column,Iwroteabout an 

increase in concernsthat our 

communities are seeing more antisocial 

behaviour. Ibelieve that a 

communityled initiative that is making 

Hurunui communities feel safer could 

help Waimakariri residents. 

From ameetingwith local police, I 

came away with information about 

communityled camera technology 

across Hurunui District thathas helped 

reduce antisocial behaviour and 

increasecommunitysafety. 

Imet with Hurunui Mayor Marie 

Blacktohear more and was impressed 

by how communities, businessesand a 

software provider worked together to 

covereven the most isolated areas. 

In theWaimakariri, we are fortunate 

to have our bridges to thenorth and 

south, making idealvantagepoints for 

communityled camera technology. 

Mariegave me several examples of 

whereHurunui’s camerashad resulted 

in the swift returnofstolen items.This 

is acommunity conversation Ithink 

many residents would be interested in 

joining. I’d love to hear yourthoughts. 

This weekIjoined my fellow 

Canterbury MPs in standing together on 

the 10th anniversaryofthe 2011 

earthquakes to pay tribute to those who 

lost their lives, andtohonour our 

emergencyservicesand private citizens 

who helped others. They will be forever 

in our hearts and minds. 

Waimakariri 

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor 

Resilienceonshow 

Thisweek we remember 10 yearsonfrom 

the February Christchurch earthquakes 

thatsadly claimed 185 livesand injured 

manymore. 

Ihad the honour to represent our 

community at the memorialserviceand 

lay awreath in remembrance. 

Lastyear we also recognised10years on 

fromWaimakariri’sown Septemberquake 

and at the time reflected on how far we 

havecome as acommunity. 

While earthquake anniversariesare 

solemn occasions, the majorityofevents 

I’vehad thepleasure of being invited to 

lately havebeen marking milestones, 

rebuilds,orare otherwise atestimony to 

resilience. 

On SundayIofficially reopenedthe 

Kaiapoi Gray RavenScout building. It is 

hometothe oldestscoutgroup in New 

Zealand, established 112 years ago. 

It is wonderful to see this building 

reborn after the earthquake anditis 

lookingfantastic. Well done to all the team, 

but aparticularacknowledgement to 

Group Leader Chris Thompsonfor his 

leadership and the generosityand support 

of so many that have helped get the 

building fit to be reopened. 

The weekend also recognised another 

significant milestone for the Sutherland 

family, which celebrated 100 yearsin 

business. 

Sutherland Timber and KaiapoiITM are 

businesseswell known in Waimakariri. 

CongratulationstoMurray, Annie, Jonnie, 

Davie and Amy on achievingthis milestone 

and for yoursignificantcontribution to our 

local economy and community. 

Hinemoa KaiapoiHockey Club also 

celebrated 125 years afew weeksago. It is 

the oldesthockey club in New Zealand. I 

really enjoyed attending the club’s 

celebrations. It’s great to see the club still 

going strong. 

On WaitangiDay we opened the new 

softball diamonds at Norman Kirk Park. 

The development of this, andthe wider 

park, are crucial to theregenerationof 

Kaiapoi. It is exciting to see the new park 

almost complete and it is hoped the 

community can enjoy allthe new facilities, 

fromthe BMX track to the dog park,tothe 

new diamonds. 

Kaiapoi Softball Club is an important 

partofthe local sporting community. With 

180 members, thislevel of support is 

impressive. 

As part of the openingIhad theprivilege 

to throw the first ball. Thankfully, it went 

in the right directionand apparently I 

threw astrike on the inside curve! (I am 

still trying to decipher what this means). 

We are fortunatetohave strong sports 

teams and arange of sportingevents in 

which to participate or enjoyasa 

spectator. Thankstoall involved for their 

commitment to sport in Waimakariri and 

North Canterbury. 

As always, Iwelcome contact from 

anyone who needs assistance or has an 

issue they may want to discuss. Email 

mayor@wmk.govt.nz or phone 

(021) 906437. I'm here to help. 

Brand hailed as an exciting development 

The first food and beverage 

provenance brand in North 

Canterbury has been officially 

launched by Enterprise North 

Canterbury (ENC). 

Made North Canterbury has 

its own website, 

madenorthcanterbury.co.nz, 

which showcases the region as 

apremium food and beverage 

destination for visitors, 

producers and investors. 

Website visitors can browse 

local food and beverage 

producers, find out about 

North Canterbury’s food and 

beverage history, and discover 

upcoming food and beverage 

events in the region. 

Made North Canterbury 

members will also use the 

website as aportal where they 

can log in to access resources. 

The brand, which has been 

in development since late 

2020, was created after astudy 

found North Canterbury food 

and beverage producers 

wanted aunifying brand that 

would offer opportunities in 

marketing, promotion and 

collaboration. 

ENC food and beverage 

business development 

manager Alissa Wilson says 

input so far from local 

producers has been fantastic. 

“We’ve had so much interest 

from our local food and 

beverage producers wanting to 

get involved. We already have 

over 40 members.’’ 

The brand can already be 

seen on display at many 

eateries and retailers 

throughout North Canterbury. 

Upcoming initiatives 

include a‘‘Makers’ Market’’ at 

the upcoming North 

Canterbury Wine &Food 

Festival on March 7, and a 

tourism incubator workshop 

with Visit Waimakariri and 

ChristchurchNZ, focused on 

the development of new food 

tourism experiences, 

culminating in atourism trail. 

“The development of this 

brand is very exciting for both 

producers and consumers,” 

Alissa says.

Wayward wheeler to speak 


Epic paraplegic traveller Eamon 

Wood, also known as The Wayward 

Wheeler, is aguest speaker at the 

Kaiapoi Library next month. 

The Christchurch author of A 

Backpack, aChair and aBeard will 

speak about his wheelchair travels 

backpacking around the South Island 

of New Zealand, Britain, the United 

States and the fjords and lakes of 

Europe. 

At 28, Eamon had afull life working 

as an engineer and in sport as an elite 

athlete who had represented New 

Zealand at wheelchair tennis and 

basketball. 

But he wanted to push himself 

further to achieve more from life. 

He travelled solo during his New 

Zealand and overseas adventures, 

often slept rough and at times his 

journey was mentally and physically 

exhausting, but for him that was the 

best part. 

Eamon has been aparaplegic since 

he was aged 4and has found exercise 

to be agreat antidote for depression. 

He loves to push himself mentally 

and physically. He has learnt that, 

with this positive mindset, his 

wheelchair is no hindrance to 

whatever he wants to do. 

Eamon will be at the library next 

Thursday, March 4, from 5pm to 

6.30pm to give his talk and promote his 

book.

Pool parties ahit 

It has been an endless summer for the 

community pools in Hurunui. 

It is the fourth summer that the 

Hurunui District Council has hosted a 

series of pool parties at school and 

community swimming pools around the 

district. 

Council community team leader Rhea 

Duffy said pool parties were all about 

hours of fun, music, games, and a 

sausage sizzle —all in the name of 

keeping the boredom at bay towards the 

end of the school holidays. 

“And it gives council staff the 

opportunity to connect with different 

members of our community in arelaxed 

environment –and not at ameeting 

around atable.” 

In total, 11 pool parties were held, 

with Waikari and Omihi hosting them for 

the first time. 

Pool parties are thirsty and hungry 

work, with more than 950 sausages 

consumed, more than 50 loaves of bread 

eaten, five litres of tomato sauce needed, 

and numerous fruit and vege sticks 

enjoyed. 

Amberley and Rotherham had the 

highest attendance rates, followed 

closely by Hawarden. 

Community feedback was hugely 

positive, with those in the district 

grateful for some extra summer fun for 

young people.

Shows part of the McLean DNA 

By DAVID HILL 

Waiaufarmers Don and Annie McLean 

are looking forward to serving as copresidents 

at the 105thAmuri A&P Show 

at the Rotherham Showgrounds on 

Saturday, March 6. 

Don has beenassociated with A&P 

showshis entirelife. 

“It’salwaysbeen an importantpart of 

family lifeand it’s agreat way for the 

community to come together and catch up 

with each other,’’ he says. 

Asecond generationshowpresident, 

Don followsinthe footsteps of his father, 

Stuart, whowas Amuri show president in 

the 1980s. 

Stuart and Jan McLean,who are now in 

their80s, havehad alongassociation with 

the show. 

Stuart is planning to compete in the dog 

trials again this year, while Jan continues 

with her love of entering displays in the 

floral section. 

Don and Annie’s threechildren, Ben, 

Tom and Millie,are carrying on the family 

enthusiasmfor the show and will all be on 

hand to helpand participate, including a 

little familyrivalry in thepet dog section. 

Ben farms in PortLevy,onBanks 

Peninsula, and Tom farms in Gisborne, 

while Millieisavaluer in Christchurch. 

The McLean family farm is 10kmfrom 

Waiau. It runs3000 ewes, plus 

replacements andyoungstock,which are 

finished under irrigation. 

The flock has aWaireriRomney base 

and has alambingpercentageofabout 

145%. 

“It works well. The Waireri Romneyisa 

very easycareanimal, they’regood sheep 

and the fertility is very good,” Don says. 

‘‘They’re avery robust sheep and they 

seem to keepthemselves in good condition 

and reartheir lambs very well.’’ 

AngusHerefordcross cows are also run 

on the property and mated with Angus 

bulls, while Charolais bulls have recently 

been introduced as terminal sires. 

Annie also works in the area as areal 

estate agentwith Harcourts Hanmer 

Springs, having previously worked in 

health administrationand as an 

earthquake support navigator. 

The Amuri show district takesinanarea 

with diverse communities, Donsays. 

‘‘Culverden and Rotherhamhave more 

dairy farming and HanmerSprings has the 

tourismand outdooradventure, whereas 

Waiau is your more traditionalsheep 

farmingarea. 

‘‘Waiauwas hugelyimpactedbythe 2016 

earthquake and that was also agreat 

example of the community pulling 

together and watching out for eachother.’’ 

This year’s show will feature awool 

showcase organised by Cheviot farmer 

LyndaDicksonand apetting zoo. 

“There is often talk about therural/ 

urbandivide and at the Amuri show we 

are very aware of that,soit’s an 

opportunity to make it an enjoyable and 

educational day for the people who aren’t 

closely involved in the rural way of life,” 

Don says. 

‘‘We’ve been going for 105 years and the 

showisgetting stronger and stronger. 

‘‘It’s quite abig day now and the 

showgrounds are packedwith people and 

theyall have agreatday out.’’ 

The McLeans wish to thanksecretary 

Kim Balcombe and treasurer Meg 

Macfarlanefor the show work they 

undertake. 

Theyalso wish to acknowledge the 

supportofthe sponsors, tradespeople, 

judges, marshalls, stewards, section heads 

and volunteers, including Duncan 

Macfarlane, who keeps the showgrounds 

in pristinecondition. 

There is an amazingcommitteethat 

draws on yearsofexperience coupledwith 

fresh ideas and new enthusiasm,Don says.

Wool’sversatility to be showcased 

By DAVID HILL 

Wool willfeatureatthe Amuri A&P Show 

next month. 

Cheviotfarmer Lynda Dickson will be 

taking her wool showcase to the 

Rotherham Showgrounds on Saturday, 

March6. 

‘‘It’s very important, especially the way 

the wool industry is at the moment,’’ show 


‘‘The more information that getsout into 

the public arenathe better to promote the 

benefits of woolversussynthetics, with 

wool being the moresustainable.’’ 

Mrs Dickson has developedher wool 

showcase in partnership with the North 

CanterburyVeterinaryClinic.Ithas 

featured at the Cheviot A&P Show in recent 

years and at the Amberley A&P Show last 

October. 

‘‘One of the mainreasons for doing this is 

to get peoplethinking about the adverse 

effect synthetic products are havingonour 

environmentand how wooland other 

naturalfibres, that are biodegradableand 

renewable,can replace synthetics and 

plastics or oilbasedproducts. 

‘‘It’s been areally cool project to do 

becausewhen you approach peoplethey 

are really enthusiastic,’’ Mrs Dickson says. 

The display willfeature thediversityof 

wool products suchasinthe home, clothing 

and anumber of other practical uses. 

‘‘There’s awide range of uses so we 

encourage people to come along and have 

alook at what you can do with wool,’’ she 

says. 

‘‘Wool is really starting to makea 

comeback and it’s biodegradable, so it 

breaks down quite quickly, unlikeother 

products, making it agood alternative to 

plastics, and we will have adisplayofthat.’’

growing it every year,’’ Mrs Dicksonsays. 

‘‘And it breaks downatthe end of itslife

Sisters deliver recipe for success 

By DAVID HILL 

The ‘‘Two Raw Sisters’’ are looking 

forward to returning to the Amuri A&P 

Show on Saturday, March 6. 

Like so many Cantabrians, 

Christchurch siblings Rosa and Margo 

Flanagan had their plans thrown into 

turmoil by Covid19 after performing 

their cooking demonstration at last 

year’s Amuri A&P Show. 

The pair were due to fly out to 

Melbourne and to the United States in 

March last year, but instead retreated to 

their parents’ kitchen to produce online 

workshops. 

Over the next two months, the sisters 

have afull schedule of A&P shows to 

visit, should New Zealand remain at 

alert level 1. 

‘‘It was great. We love doing these sort 

of shows,’’ says Margo, recalling last 

year’s visit to the Rotherham 

Showgrounds. 

‘‘It was quite funny returning to mum 

and dad’s last year, because it was 

where we started. 

‘‘We kept ourselves busy testing out 

recipes and everyone was really good 

and really responsive to the online stuff. 

‘‘We enjoyed the online workshops, 

but we are looking forward to seeing 

people rather than looking at the screen, 

which is abit boring sometimes.’’ 

Since performing at last year’s Amuri 

A&P Show, the sisters have published 

their second book, All Eaters Welcome, 

and they are already working on their 

third book. 

‘‘The plantbased movement is 

definitely becoming more of athing, but 

we want to reach out to all eaters,’’ 

Margo says. 

‘‘It’s about starting your meals with 

vegetables and then you can add meat if 

you want. 

All eaters welcome ... The 

Raw Sisters, from left, Rosa 

and Margo Flanagan, will be 

back at the Amuri A&P Show. 

PHOTO: FILE 

‘‘Our recipes explore fun and exiting 

ways to use those pantry staples and to 

show people how delicious plants can 

be.’’ 

The sisters will be giving a 

demonstration at 2pm at the show with 

two recipes: Apear, ginger and peanut 

butter bircher and abroccoli, 

buckwheat and sesame salad. 

‘‘They are perfect for taking to work or 

for when you are entertaining,’’ Margo 

says. 

‘‘And we will be looking at substituting 

ingredients. People often come to a 

recipe and get stressed out about it 

because they can’t find all the 

ingredients, so it’s about being flexible 

—one recipe can become 20 recipes.’’

“Every singleone in the North

the underdogbecause we are 

missing acoupleoftop guys, but 

we havesome amazingteam 

players whohave the abilityto 

lift their performance up anotch 

when they are partofateam.” 

New Zealand reps AdamLowe

Stunt-ridingadrawcard 

By DAVID HILL 

AChristchurchbased trick rider is sure 

to thrill the crowd at lunchtime during 

the Amuri A&P Show on March 6. 

Sonia Duncan, who has appeared in 

blockbuster movies as astunt double, 

will ride in the main ring after 

president Don McLean’s address at 

about 12.30pm. 

Sonia took up trick riding more than 

25 years ago, when at the age of 29 she 

was getting bored with simply riding 

her horses. She saw anewspaper 

advertisement which said: ‘‘Stunt 

riders wanted —have you got what it 

takes?’’ 

‘‘I decided to give it ago. Iwent along, 

got trained up and became part of a 

Wild West live show.’’ 

Sonia went on to work as astunt 

double for Hollywood actor Liv Tyler in 

Peter Jackson’s movie trilogy, The Lord 

of the Rings. 

Working days while on the set started 

early, with wardrobe and makeup. 

Then there would be the ‘‘hurry up and 

wait’’ phase. 

‘‘We would be told to hurry to the set. 

Once there, we would wait. Sometimes 

we would wait all day and not shoot a 

scene,’’ Sonia says. 

Being astunt double horse rider 

requires patience, she says. 

‘‘It was pretty basic stuff, cantering on 

the horse, stopping on cue and jumping 

off in along dress.’’ 

Stunt horses need to be taught to 

canter in astraight line and not to stop 

until asked. 

Over time the horse gets used to the 

rider hanging off either side while 

cantering. 

‘‘Just working with the horses all the 

time and getting them to run in a 

straight line is the key,’’ Sonia says. 

Impressive skills ... Sonia Duncan’s riding skills will be on 

display.

Club offers awarm, welcoming atmosphere 


Nearly 30 years ago the Darnley 

Clubbegan providing quality 

daycare for elderly folk. 

It initiallybegan in the Kaiapoi 

Working Men’s Club one day a 

week. 

Today, it has grown to afivedayaweekoperation 

at its own 

premises in the Kaiapoi 

Community Centre,formerly 

known as the St Paul’s Centre. 

There is afulltime coordinator, 

parttime office 

worker and activitiesorganiser, a 

parttime personal carer, parttimecook, 

and two mini bus 

drivers, alongside 27 volunteers. 

The Kaiapoi Daycentre for 

Seniors Inc, known as the 

DarnleyClub, grew out of 

concern for older people, 

particularlythoseliving alone, 

who longed for company, 

fellowshipand good food. 

Anumberofolder people from 

Kaiapoi were going to aRangiora 

resthome for daycare. However, 

the facility could cope onlywith a 

set numberofpeople,and those 

wantingthe servicewas growing. 

DarnleyClub secretaryGill 

Rayner saysaworkinggroup set 

about setting up asimilar 

ventureinKaiapoi, finding a 

venue, and developing a 

programme. 

It opened on May 16, 1991. 

The club celebratesits 30th 

birthday in May this year. 

The club has 57 ‘‘friends’’ 

(clients),most of whom are 

funded by the Canterbury 

DistrictHealthBoard, with 

which the centrehas acontract. 

Up to 18 ‘‘friends’’ are catered 

for each day with the aim of 

providing somewhere for those 

living alonetogofor company, a 

place for those who have been ill 

to get supportand fellowship, 

and for familyand carers to have 

somewhere to leavetheir loved 

ones while theytake some time 

out. 

‘‘Our elderly folk are pickedup 

in ourown minibus each 

morningfrom Clarkville, the 

beach communities, Kaiapoi, 

Tuahiwiand Belfast, and are 

taken home at 3pm. 

‘‘Theyenjoyahomebaked 

morningtea and anutritious 

homecookedmidday meal, as 

well as afternoon tea.’’ 

Gill has beensecretary for 25 

years. ‘‘I am part of the furniture. 

Ilove it (theclub), and Ienjoyit,’’ 

she says. 

CoordinatorDawn Armitage 

says the elderly folk enjoy a 

relaxing day of companionship 

and laughter, in awarm and 

caringenvironment,takingpart 

in themany activities such as 

crafts, games, quizzes, 

physiotherapist exercises, 

outingsand entertainment. 

Dawn, who took overthe coordinator 

role fromChris 

Greengrass in 2014,says it is a 

wonderful place to work. 

‘‘It is areally warm,friendly 

place where we have alot of fun, 

and where thereisalot of 

friendshipand warmth, good 

food, fun activities, and outings.’’ 

Dawn says the clubisgreatfor

or for carers and family to geta

littlebit of respite. 

‘‘It means alot of thingstoa

Duringthe lockdown, when the 

club had to closeoperations, staff 

and volunteers kept in touch with 

members withregular phone 

calls,and made sure they had 

meals and no worries. 

‘‘It was just someonethere for 

them, that cared and could offer 

ahand of friendship.’’

Natural wonders ... The Waimakariri District Council is working on its policy around significant natural areas. 

Council examines its SNA policy 

By DAVID HILL 

Affectedlandownersare being 

encouraged to give theirviews on policy 

around significant natural areas(SNA). 

The Waimakariri District Council, as 

part of its ongoing District Plan Review, is 

contacting the owners of properties 

identified to have SNAs. 

SNAs are areas of vegetation thathave 

high biodiversity values and are important 

for preventing the extinction of rare 

species and ecosystems in the district. 

Councils are required to identify and 

protect such areas under the Resource 

ManagementAct. 

The processofidentifying SNAs on 

private land has proventobecontentious 

in some partsofNew Zealand, largely 

becauseofthe restrictionsonland use 

that can be associatedwith the 

classification. 

The full details of the rules and 

incentives around SNAs will be publicly 

available when the Proposed District Plan 

is notified later this year. 

The public will be invited to make 

submissions. 

However, the council hopes to enter into 

discussionswith landowners much 

earlier, development planning manager 

Trevor Ellis says. 

‘‘We appreciatethat many SNAsexist 

and continue to survive, thanks to the 

effortsofgenerations of locallandowners 

who have valuedand looked after them,’’ 

Mr Ellissays. 

‘‘We want to work collaboratively with 

landowners to workthrough their 

concerns and make sure the important 

ecological values of these areas are 

maintained.’’ 

Landownerswill be contacted in stages, 

starting withthose who already havean 

SNA listed in the existingDistrict Plan or 

anew SNA identified throughafieldvisit. 

Landownerswith other new SNAswill 

be contacted later in the year in order to 

PHOTO: FILE 

providemore time to work throughthe 

information, Mr Ellis says. 

‘‘It’s importanttousthat we get out there 

and talk to landowners facetoface. 

‘‘This willgive us the best chance to 

workthrough any concerns before the 

proposed DistrictPlan is released.’’ 

The proposed DistrictPlan willcontain 

rules abouthow an areaofland that 

contains an SNA can be developed and 

used. 

Thiswill include limits on indigenous 

vegetationclearance, while stillallowing 

for some maintenance activitiessuch as 

fence and trackupkeep. 

Mr Ellis says the council is alsolooking 

at ways it can provide incentivesto 

landowners who provide protection for 

their SNA. 

Landowners may also be eligible for the 

council’sBiodiversity Fund,whichcan 

providefunding to assist with the 

protection and restoration of identified 

SNAs.

Sefton chases down an imposing 

tally for an impressive home win 

An ultraaggressive Seftonchased down an 

imposing OxfordRangiora total in the latest 

roundofcountry cricket on Saturday. 

More than500 runswere scored at Sefton 

Domain as the home sidegot the points, 

whiletherewere also winsfor competition 

rivals LeestonSouthbridge,Weedonsand 

Cheviotinthe CRV AmbreedCountry 

Premier One Day 2020/21 competition. 

OxfordRangiora batted first and made 

267/6in45overs, thankslargely to aswashbuckling 

innings fromLukeWaghorn. 

Waghorn clubbed Seftonfor 90 runsoff 47 

balls, including five sixes and seven fours. He 

was well supported by opener Calvin Scott 

(54 runsoff 87 balls),LachieStove(46 off 55) 

and Dave Fulton’sunbeaten 44 off 59. 

Chasing the highscore, Sefton got off to a 

perfect startwith McKenzie Smith (54 off 44) 

and Chris Warner(70 off 78)compilinga 

century opening stand. 

Canterbury seam bowler FraserSheat, 

batting at No. 4, then smashed 72 off 48 balls, 

combining withMatt Laffey, who made an 

unbeaten 64, in an unbroken 118run 

partnership to claim adominant eightwicket 

win with four overs to spare. 

Southbrook falters 

At Weedons Domain, Southbrook paceman 

Jono Green baggedfive wicketsashis side 

bowled out the homeside for just 171. 

Former Canterbury wicketkeeper Paul 

Ruggshowed he has still got the touch, topscoring 

with an unbeaten 35. 

Southbrook got off to asolid start in its 

chase, and was sitting prettywith former 

Black Cap Shanan Stewart and Jack Boyle, 

returningfrom Canterbury duties and along 

Super Smashcampaign, bothatthe crease. 

But when they fellrelatively cheaply, in 

quick succession, Southbrook’s hunt for just 

its second win of the season faltered, and 

eventually fell 15 runs short. 

Hamish D’Arcy did the mostdamage with 

the white ball, returning the fine figuresof 

5/37. 

Thumping 

Cheviot thumped Lincolnonhome soil on 

Saturday, thankstoabrilliant century from 

Ted Whelan. 

Whelan’stopscore of 136 off 124 ballslifted 

the Magpies to 288 against Lincoln, despite a 

sixwicket bag for Hugh Paterson. 

Paterson also shone with the bat,falling 

justshortofahalfcentury, as did his brother 

Arthur, but their teammates didn’t offer 

muchsupportand felltoa105run loss inside 

35 overs. 

Dominant display 

At Darfield Domain, the home sidecouldn’t 

takeadvantage of batting first, despite afine 

45 fromopener Liam Foulkes. 

Foulkesmade alonestand, with the only 

other meaningfulcontribution being 24 from 

CullenMoody. 

As theyhave done all season,all of 

LeestonSouthbridge’s bowlersperformed 

well, withDougald Munro’s tidy mediumpacers 

the pickofthe bunch, finishing with 

2/16off his nine overs. 

BraydenHill(32 off 62) and Harry 

Chamberlain(34 off 35), returning from a 

successfulstint with Canterbury A, set up the 

runchase,beforeTim Gruijtersand Sam 

Chamberlain finished the sevenwicketwin, 

with more than 15 oversremaining. 

Ohoka hadthe bye.

New Tsunami Evacuation Zones 

for Waimakariri 

Council has updated tsunami evacuation zones in 

response to modelling that showed flooding from 

atsunami could travel further inland than 

previously thought. 

The District now has three tsunami evacuation 

zones: red, orange and yellow, and the Council is 

encouraging residents to visit the website and 

learn more about the zones. The new tsunami 

evacuation zones will be reflected inLand 

Information Memorandums (LIMs). 

While the red evacuation zone has only seen minor 

changes, it’s the most likely to be affected by a 

tsunami. It covers estuaries, beaches and rivers 

which can experience strong currents and surges in 

the water from tsunamis of any size. 

The orange evacuation zone covers land that could 

be flooded during large tsunamis and already 

included the coastal settlements at The Pines 

Beach, Kairaki, Woodend Beach and Waikuku 

Beach. It has been revised to extend the length 

of the coast and further inland. 

The most notable change is the introduction of the 

yellow evacuation zone, which covers large parts 

of Kaiapoi and asection of Pegasus. This area is 

least likely to be affected, but could be flooded or 

isolated in avery large tsunami. 

"The modelling is based on worst-case scenarios which 

shows the yellowzone could potentially be flooded 

in avery large tsunami from adistant source,” says 

Emergency Management Advisor Brennan Wiremu. 

“These events are rare and we’d have atleast 

12 hours warning, so residents don’t need to be 

alarmed, however they should have aplan for what 

to do if they need to evacuate.” 

The Council is working with the affected 

communities and emergency services to develop 

new tsunami response strategies. 

Brennan says residents in the affected areas can 

expect to receive information in their mailbox 

about the tsunami zones shortly, which will be 

followed bydrop-in sessions and opportunities for 

people to ask questions.

evacuation zones at waimakariri.govt.nz/tsunami 

Algal Bloom in Lake Pegasus

Public Health unit has reissued ahealth warning 

aer potentially toxic blue-green algae (planktonic 

cyanobacteria) was again found in Lake Pegasus 

last week. 

People and animals, particularly dogs, should avoid 

Lake Pegasus until the health warning has been lied. 

Make sure it’s safe toswim in rivers and lakes by 

checking the water quality status and risk of toxic 

algae before you head out. To check, jump onto the 

LAWA website -this will give you the most recent 

water testing results for key recreational areas in

Kaiapoi Christadelphians 

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52) 

THE HOPE OF ISRAEL -HOPE 

OF TRUE BIBLEBELIEVERS 

What is our hope? Does it matter what we believe 

concerning it? The Bible, being God’s word expressing 

hope to mankind, reveals the REAL hope and not 

something that has evolved through man’s desires. 

Truth in the world can be as fake as anyone likes, but 

God and his promises are unchanging and have been 

instituted in Genesis. Learning of God, truth is critical to 

our understanding. 

If you are wondering about the meaning of life, this 

presentation brings hope clearing the way through 

cloudy religious teaching.
