Paid roles will strengthen ambulance service
From Page 1
Asecond paramedic will be employed in
Culverden, andanotherparamedic and

Mr Gillman said he hadlooked at the
workload of all centres and found doublecrewing
of ambulances at peaktimes,
particularlyatweekends when people
wereplaying sport and doing adventurous
activities, wasdifficult.
He saysthe paramedics at Culverden
and Kaikoura work9am to 5pm on
weekdays, whileAmberley crews areall
volunteers.
Volunteers had providedgreat service,
but having extra, paid staff in Amberley
would easethe workload on them.
Mr Gillman says thereisastrong

Schools in expansion mode
By DAVID HILL
Roll growth is creating some
challenges for North
Canterbury schools.
Amuri Area School and
Leithfield School are
awaiting new teaching
spaces, while work is
progressing at Swannanoa
and Kaiapoi Borough
schools.
Culverden’s Amuri Area
School is bulging at the
seams, beginning the new
school year with 365 pupils,
principal James Griggs says.
The school is awaiting the
Ministry of Education’s plans
for the redevelopment of its
senior campus, including six
new teaching spaces.
‘‘We started the year with
365 students, which we would
normally finish the year with.
The school is built for around
300 students, so we’ve been
needing the new roll growth
teaching spaces for five
years,’’ Mr Griggs says.
The six teaching spaces
would futureproof the school,
as well as replace some old
classrooms, while the
remaining senior campus
buildings are expected to be
refurbished.
Meantime, it has been
converting teacher offices
into small classrooms to
make do.
‘‘If you’ve got one science
lab and you need two, it’s
hard to deliver the programmes
you want to. It will
be fantastic when it’s done

and will set us up well for the
future.’’
Leithfield School is busy
with the concept planning
stage as it awaits anew fourteaching­space
block,
principal Sharon Marsh says.
Two old classrooms are
also set to be demolished.
‘‘Because we are sited on a
terrace, there is some
geotechnical work that has
had to be done around site
suitability.’’
Kaiapoi Borough School’s
new technology block is on
track to open in May, which
will be welcome news for the
10 contributing schools which
use it.
Swannanoa School’s roll
growth has created some
extra challenges as it
prepares to celebrate its
150th anniversary during
Labour Weekend, principal
Brian Price says.
‘‘When we celebrated our
125th there were 40 students
and now we’ve got 340 —and
we’ve even reduced our zone
to support schools around us.
It just shows the growth in
our area.’’

provide some more teaching
spaces. But it pushed the
school’s power capacity to its
limit, so over the summer
trenches were dug for new
cabling.
The school has used its
government school
investment package funding
to create adrop­off and
loading zone on the school
grounds as it prepares to
accommodate afourth school
bus.
‘‘We’re changing the whole
entrance which gets the
buses off Tram Rd, which gets
busy, and the playground is
being moved over to the new
buildings,’’ Mr Price says.

Quarry backers bound
by confidentiality deal
By SHELLEY TOPP
Aconfidentiality agreement,signed in
2015,prevents proponentsofthe Rangiora
Racecoursequarry fromspeaking
publicly aboutit.
Canterbury Jockey Club chairman
Gordon Fulton, who farmsatWest
Eyreton, said last week thathecouldnot
comment on the proposal because of the
confidentiality agreement between the
parties involved —the jockeyclub and the
Rangiora Harness Racing Club, ownersof
the racecourse,and TaggartEarthmoving
Ltd.
The agreement was signed by
representatives of both clubs and Taggart
Earthmoving before the quarry proposal
was firstput to the Waimakariri District
Council for resource consentapproval.
The proposal became public knowledge
when the North CanterburyNews ran a
storylast July. Since then, public
opposition to the proposal has mounted.
No Rangiora Quarrygroup member
John Mathersaidhewas not surprised a
confidentiality dealhad been signed.
‘‘I suspecteditand Ithink it is
absolutely abhorrent thatpeoplehave had
no chance to do due diligencewhen
purchasing or building homes in thatnew
Hearing planned ... The map
accompanying the quarry application.
Arlingtonsubdivision when,for all that
time,aquarry nearbywas being planned
in secret.’’
The quarryproposal has attracted 404
submissions, with 390 opposing it, and a
public consent hearing is plannedfor
laterthis year, with adate and venue yet
to be decided.
Mr Mather said the No Rangiora Quarry
grouphad askedEnvironment Canterbury
(ECan) to make the submissions public
before thehearing.
An ECan spokesman said aLocal
GovernmentOfficialInformation and
Meetings Act request would have to be
lodged for that to happen, because
personal information wouldhave to be
redacted from submissions before being
made public. That would take about20
working days from when the request was
lodged. However, asummary of the
submissions would be available 15 days
before thehearings.

Taking the year
one step at atime
The Kaiapoifun run last weekendwas a
great first step in my goal of running my
first marathonthis year.
Congratulations to All Together
Kaiapoi for awell­organisedeventthat
showcased Kaiapoi’s beautiful river on a
sunny Kaiapoi morning.
Iamsharing my progress on my
Facebook page, and Iwelcome any tips
from runners in our community.
The Three Waters Reform Bill will
have ahuge impact on how we manage
our drinking water, stormwater and
wastewater in Waimakariri.
The bill is currently going through
parliament’s Health Select Committee, of
which Iamamember.
The bill proposes changes to how
drinking water, wastewater and
stormwater will be delivered and
regulated,and proposes moving
responsibilityfor these away from our
local councils.
Iwas able to talk directlytothe Local
Government Minister to make sure our
Waimakariri view is heard,especially
aroundour concerns that our voice could
be lost as cities such as Christchurch take
the lion’s share of funding and get greater
priority.

Let'stalk about the future
The draft Long Term Plan (LTP)isout for
your feedback.
This is yourcouncil’s key strategic
document which details our priorities for
the next 10 years and looksathow these
are proposed to be funded.
Each LTP is acareful balancing act
between whatthe district needs, what our
residents want, and whatwecan afford.
Over the next 10 years the councilis
focused on making sure we keep up with
growth, Covid­19 recovery, climatechange/
sustainability, and the impactofthe Three
Waters Reviewbeing imposed on us by the
government.Inthis LTP we’re specifically
asking for feedback on:
New community facilitiesfor Pegasus
and north Woodend (Ravenswood);
Upgrades to the Rangiora Libraryand
widercivic area;
ParkinginRangiora, includingacarpark
building.
If there’s somethingyou think the
council should or shouldn’t be providing,
deferring, or bringing forward, now is the
time to tell us.
If the draft LTP is supported, the proposedrates
increase is 3.95 percent in the
firstyear and 4.2% for the following years.
You can give us feedback in person, by
posting in asubmission formorfillingin
the online questionnaire. All detailsare
online at waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk or
you can visit alibrary or service centre for
help.Submissions close on April 12.
Environment Canterbury is proposing a
provided. Everyone who takes
part will need to paint at least
one stone with amarket theme
for the market to keep to run
treasure hunts at future
markets. Any otherstonescan be
painted to takehome.
Marketmanager Nicky
Brooker says the stalls offer
great value for staples suchas
veges,eggs,and meat. People
knew where their producewas
comingfrom, and it was
seasonally fresh and nutritious.
‘‘The Canterbury earthquakes
were aperfect example of how
resilient alocalfood system can
be in times of crisis,’’ Nicky says.

24.5% or 18% rate increase in its upcoming
LTP. Councillors and Iare concerned how
ECan proposes to fundits programme of
work, which is the main reasonthe
increase is so significant.
Like mostbusinesses and organisations,
the Waimakariri District Council debtfunds
its projects. It’slike anormalloan;
you borrow up­front and repayover time.
This ensures intergenerational equity —
after all, the nextgenerationbenefits.
ECan’sproposal is to entirelyratepayer
fund its programme of work up­front. The
24.5% increase would completelyfund its
entirework programme. The alternative is
simple: To borrow for thework and smooth
any increases intoacceptableamounts for
ratepayers.
The council does not supporthow ECan
is proposing to fund its LTP andwewill be
strongly expressingour concerns.
At the moment borrowing is the right
move. Interest rates are remarkably low,
and work can be undertaken without
significantly burdening households
already struggling during Covid­19.
ECan’sdraft LongTerm Plan is
available online for submissions. Make
sure you visit haveyoursay.ecan.govt.nz
and let them know your thoughtsonthis
rates increase. Ihope ECan willlisten to
submitters.

SUPPORTED BY

Working machinery a
big drawcard for event
By MICHAELA MCLEOD
It gives me greatpleasureto
welcome you all to the 2021
South Island Agricultural Field
Days (SIAFD)from March 24 to
26.
This will be our fourth event
at our permanent homein
Kirwee.
The last year has seenusin
unprecedented times withthe
globalpandemic. Thankfully,
agriculture has been recognised
as the shining light that we all
know it to be.
Planning an event with the
threatoflooming lockdowns has
been challenging, but the
organising committee has
remained determined that the
event will go ahead in some
capacity, as ameans of
celebrating the industry that
has remainedreliable and
unwavering throughout the
difficult times the country has
faced.
We also take this time to
celebrate the 70th year of the
South Island Agricultural Field
Days.
It had modestbeginningsand
now boasts the largest working
machinery display of any field
days in the country.
This is something that really
sets us apartfrom other field
days and is awonderful
drawcard for intending
purchasers to be abletosee a
large range of equipment in
NZ is going through apost-covid land development boom,
with more and more farmers and landowners realizing
the potential of their land. Understanding the Resource
Management Act as it applies to your land, navigating local
district plan restrictions and guides, and determining the
best options for unleashing the potential locked can mean
that many rural landowners put development off, orwait for a
farm sale for the next owner to realise the capital investment
potential.
Work with aspecialist land
development consultant
action, as well as many of our
exhibitors choosingSIAFD as
the launching pad for theirnew
equipment or products and
services.
Iwouldlike to take this
chance to thank our many
supporters,who have helpedus
realiseour vision for this year.
We thank the local community
too —the Selwyn District and
Kirwee in particular, have been
very welcoming and we hope
that they enjoy the wider
business that our event brings to
the region.
Lastly,Iwould liketothank
the 2021 SIAFD organising
committee and their families.
This group of volunteers
comprises some of the hardestworkingpeopleIhave
encountered in my time and the
event simply wouldnot happen
withouttheir valuable input and
support.

True sustainability restsonthree main
pillars that include not just the
environment, but also economic health
and the social licencetocontinue
farming.
An unbalanced emphasis on any one
of these threewill inevitably mean the
other two are put under pressure.
With the current
heightened awareness of
environmental issues,itis
easy to lose perspective on
the balance in the big
picture, without which
nothing is truly sustainable.
When the fundamentalsof
animalhealth and
production efficiency are in
focus,environmental
measures can also improve
by default.
This means thatalthough
environmental footprints do not just
take careofthemselves,they are given
ahelping handasfarmingoutcomes
improve —something farmers strive to
achieve every day.
Takingalife­cycle analysis approach
to carbon foot­printing provides the
mechanism that quantifies this
balance, wrapping some numbers
aroundthe whole systemthat allows
farming to tell its story in away that
finds approval with many groups.
The Alltech E­CO 2
environmental
programmeemploysananimalcentredapproach
underpinned by
animal health and welfare, and it is
sensitive to the profitability of the
farmingenterprise.
Following these principles,itis

generations the “sociallicenceto

SOUTH ISLAND AGRICULTURAL FIELD DAYS
22 The North Canterbury News, March 18, 2021
Chance for rural women to shine
The entertaining farm­focused Country
Women Competition heads to the South
Island Agricultural Field Days next
week, after an engaging response to the
inaugural event at last year’s Amuri
A&P Show.
The Kirwee­based event, held from
March 24 to 26, features one of the
biggest and most interactive
demonstration areas in the country.
This means bringing together some of
the region’s most talented rural women
to display their capabilities. It is abig
coup for field days chairwoman
Michaela McLeod.
‘‘The South Island Agricultural Field
Days has long been known for the place
to see harvesters, seeders, balers and
some of the newest agricultural
technology in action,’’ she says.
‘‘But to be able to highlight the skills
and capabilities of the women, who are
often the backbone of the agricultural
industry, is aspecial addition to the
field days this year.’’
The competition was initially
designed by Bex Green, the volunteer
regional leader for the Dairy Women’s
Network in North Canterbury. It
revolves around aseries of challenges
that give rural women achance to
prove their mettle and demonstrate
their talent in the farming sector.
‘‘I wanted to see women step up and
step out, and be brave in the farming
world,’’ she said.
‘‘And the response we had to the
(competition) was incredible, with 20
women toughing it out last year.’’
After seeing some incredible skills,
tactical thinking and entertaining
endeavours, Fran Gunn, of North
Canterbury, was the inaugural Dairy
Women’s Network Country Woman of
the Year.
This year, volunteer regional leader

Jordain Adams is at the helm for the
Dairy Women’s Network Canterbury
team and is looking forward to seeing
the calibre of competition this year at
the field days.
She said participants could expect
similar challenges to last year, such as
throwing darts, milking afake cow,
throwing agumboot, chopping wood,
backing atrailer on aquad bike and
carrying hay bales.
‘‘We’re so excited to be running this
competition again,’’ Ms Adams said.
‘‘Get ready for three days of tough
competition, bigger prizes, and
opportunities for rural women to get
out there, have fun and show the rest of
New Zealand how to get it done.’’
Providing opportunities for women
to demonstrate their value in the rural
sector is the purpose of the Dairy
Women’s Network.
Through workshops, regional events,
competitions and conferences, it brings
women together from around the
country for shared learning and
connection, and supports them to
achieve personal and professional
goals.
Registrations to enter the Country
Women Competition can be made

Pandemic disrupts
machinery imports
By DAVID HILL
Covid­19 is causing delays with
agriculturalmachinery imports.
Tractorand Machinery Association
(TAMA) president Kyle Baxter warned
memberstoexpect delays in global
manufacturing, as wellasshipping delays
this year.
TAMA memberswere reporting demand
for tractors and equipment steadily
building across the country,ascustomers
began to secure their machinery for
spring/summer 2021.
‘‘However, the pandemic is continuing
to disrupt theoverseas supplychain
across Europe, America and Asia,’’ he
said.
‘‘WhileNew ZealandTAMA members
aredoingeverythingthey cantoensure
machines arriveontime for the season
ahead, there willbepotentialdelaysin
globalmanufacturing and international
shipping routes that could be felt during
thefirsthalf of the year.’’
Mr Baxtersaid memberswho
manufactured within New Zealand were
reportingstrongorders for their
equipment from customers for this year.
‘‘This is very good news and anothersign
that our primary industry is still feeling
buoyant among the global turmoil,’’ Mr
Baxtersaid.
Covid­19has also had an impactonthis
month’s SouthIslandAgricultural Field
Days, as many of the large agricultural
machinerycompanies have been unable
to get new gear into the country in time to
demonstrate themachines.
‘‘Thereseems to have been abit of a
hold on the boats, so therewill be alot of
machines on display whichfarmers have
alreadybeen usingonfarms,’’field days
committee memberAndrewStewart said.
Meanwhile,the harvest season is in full
swingand Federated Farmers is urging
motorists and theoperators of agricultural
machinery to show each othersome care
and understanding.
‘‘Noteveryone has appreciated the
recent sweltering temperatures, but for
arable farmers in the middle of harvesting,
the golden weather is both abonus and a
race to get cropsinbefore Mother Nature
switches moods,’’federation vicepresident
and transport spokeswoman
KarenWilliams said.
New Zealand’s $2.1billion arable
industry is asignificant exportearner and
employer. During harvest, combine harvesters,largetractorstowing
implements
and other over­size agricultural vehicles
oftenneed to use public roadstomove
between different parts of the farm.
‘‘They’rebulky and of necessity —and
by law —move at lower speedsthan other
motorists,’’ Ms Williams said.
‘‘Farmers areaskingotherdrivers to
show abit of patience and commonsense.
‘‘If atractor or harvesterdoes pull over
to the edge of the road, take your
opportunity to pass if you can do so safely.
‘‘Most of them will be moving no faster
than 30kmh to 40kmh or so, so it’snot
essential to have the same several
hundred metres of clearroad ahead
needed when overtaking muchfastermoving
vehicles.’’
Refusing to passcouldresult in along
line­up of vehicles and that was when
some drivers’ patience frayedand they
mightdosomethingrisky, she said.
Federated Farmers also urges farm
vehicle operatorstoremember traffic
flows, as wellastheir responsibilities in
termsofprotruding implements/ headers
and, where required, to use beacons and
hazard panels.

Two big upsets mark
latest cricket round
Adramaticlast round of CRV NZ
Canterbury Country Premier one­day
matches delivered two unforeseen upsets.
Winless and eighth­placedLincolnbeat
Darfield.
Lincoln battedfirst at Darfield Domain
against ahome side looking for awin to
lock itself into third place.
Country Rep all­rounder Joe Williams
set aniceplatform for the Lincolnside
with arun­a­ball 50.
Arthur Paterson, batting at No. 3, scored
awell compiled 74 to lift Lincolntoa
competitive 251 off its allotted 45 overs.
In reply, Darfield was in trouble early
thanks to somegreat new­ball bowling
from Hugh Paterson and TaylorHolland.
Alister Collins was the onlyDarfield
batsman to get under way but,when
dismissed for 60, Darfield’s hopes faded
with him. Darfield was eventually bundled
out for 210, handingLincolnits first oneday
competition win of the season.
Southbrook triumphs
At Southbrook Park,the ninth­placed
home sidewas hopefulofanupset against
second­placed Sefton.
Southbrookwon the tossand batted first,
whichmeant Canterbury batsman Jack
Boylewas given theopportunity to score
some moreclubruns for his side.
Boylescored an impressive 116 off 132
ballstolift Southbrooktoatotal of 231.
Boylewas supported well by youngster Gus
Mowat, who scored52off 45 ballstowards
the end of Southbrook’s innings.
In reply, Sefton never got underway
thanks to an outstanding new­ball spell by
fringe Canterbury Countryrep LuanBlom.
Blom removedthe in­form duo of
MackenzieSmith and Chris Warner early
in Sefton’sinnings.
Afighting knock fromLanceTaylor
brought Seftonback into the match.
Former Blackcap ShananStewart came on
and cleaned up the Seftonmiddle and
lowerorder, claiming threescalpstohelp
reduce Sefton to 177 all out.
Ohokavictorious
At Mandeville, Weedons needed to
trounce the homeside for achance of
making the semi­finals on net run rate.
Ohokabatted first and postedabig total
265/2off its allottedovers thanks largely to
acaptain’s knock from Daniel Lyons.
Lyonscompiled118 off 136 ballsand he
was well supported by Canterbury Country
rep keeper­batsman Will Hamilton with 98
off 101 balls.
In reply, Weedons started brightly,with
its opening batsman and talisman Todd
Inness scoring 76 off 87 balls.
But the Weedonsmiddle order couldn’t
create anysubstantial partnerships
through the middleoverswhich eventually
meantthe side was bowled out for 211 in
the 42ndover,ending its semi­final hopes.
At CheviotDomain, the home side beat
Oxford­Rangiora in adead rubber, while
Leeston­Southbridge had the bye.
The final points tally meansaNorth
Canterburyderby in one semi­final anda
Selwyn derbyinthe other.
Leeston­Southbridge, whichqualified

What’s happening in your
community…
Flaxton and Fernside Roads
The roundabout at the intersection of Flaxton and
Fernside Roads is now taking shape and traffic is
flowing in both directions again on Flaxton Road
with the removal of the one-way system and detour.
Things are really moving at the northern end
of Flaxton Road with new kerb and channel
constructed all the way from BP to Southbrook
Resource Recovery Park. MainPower have also
finished major work in the area which means
asphalt will be laid this week and we will open up
most of the new footpath to the public.
The traffic management will continue to change to
suit the construction, including cones being removed
and on-street parking being made available again
once works have been completed in areas.
Both areasofwork on theroundaboutand on
Flaxton Roaditselfshould becompletedbymid-May.
Rangiora Central Sewer
The Rangiora Central Sewer upgrade is
progressing well with Stage 5acompleted earlier
than planned thanks to additional resourcing
through Government’s Stimulus funding. The
upgrade isamulti-year project that replaces old
and deteriorated pipes with those of alarger
capacity toallow for future growth in Rangiora.
This doesn’t just apply to new subdivisions, but
also to newer developments within the town, and
to cater for higher sewer flows that the existing
pipes are unable to cope with. Some of the
original pipes were installed in the 1930s before
dishwashers existed, and before washing machines
were widespread, for instance.
It also protects the quality of water in nearby
streams byreducing the likelihood of overflows
during storm events or flooding. While the chance
of an overflow isalready relatively low, this work
will reduce it even further.
Thenextstagewill getunderwaylater thisyear and
theentire projectexpectedtobecompleted by 2028.

Oxford Road, betweentheintersectionsof

Skills, drills and plenty of thrills
Introducing more youngsters to
the game of rugby is akey goal
for Ohoka Rugby Club ahead of
its 2021 rugby season.
The club ran several
workshops at primary schools
in its local catchment area this
week. They were designed to
increase awareness of the club,
as well as introduce new
players to the game.
Junior club captain Stephen
de Villiers said the workshops,
held at Fernside, Ohoka,
Swannanoa and West Eyreton
schools, were ahuge success.
‘‘We had great feedback, not
just from the kids who were
involved, but from the teachers
and principals as well.
‘‘The workshops were not
only about increasing the
awareness of our club and
growing our player numbers,
but also an opportunity to
strengthen ties with our feeder
schools and our wider
community.’’
Swannanoa School principal
Brian Price said the workshops
were agreat initiative.
‘‘This is what community is
all about. The kids were
absolutely buzzing. It’s agreat
opportunity for schools as well
as the club, and what agreat
group of role models for the
kids.’’
The pupils enjoyed arange of
fun rugby drills, as well as
fitness and ball skills.
Introducing some youngsters to
rugby for the first time was a
highlight for Mr de Villiers.
‘‘We saw kids that had never
played before, getting involved
and really enjoying themselves.
‘‘We had one little girl who
had so much fun she was
adamant that she was signing
up for the season,’’ he said.
Ohoka Rugby Club will hold
its registration evening today

It will offer achance to meet
the coaches and to find out how
