30 students helping back<br />

‘‘He’s verypassionate. You<br />

Ruby says playing Morticia<br />
is quitedifferent from playing<br />
one of the lads in Guysand<br />

‘‘I like that she is avery<br />
strong character. She loves<br />

Asecond paramedic will be employed in<br />
Culverden, andanotherparamedic and<br />
two emergencymedicalassistants will<br />

Mr Gillman said he hadlooked at the<br />
workload of all centres and found doublecrewing<br />
of ambulances at peaktimes,<br />
particularlyatweekends when people<br />
wereplaying sport and doing adventurous<br />
activities, wasdifficult.<br />
He saysthe paramedics at Culverden<br />
and Kaikoura work9am to 5pm on<br />
weekdays, whileAmberley crews areall<br />

Volunteers had providedgreat service,<br />
but having extra, paid staff in Amberley<br />
would easethe workload on them.<br />
Mr Gillman says thereisastrong<br />

‘‘That will change,and it is really<br />
exciting—but we still needour<br />

Schools in expansion mode<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Roll growth is creating some<br />
challenges for <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> schools.<br />
Amuri Area School and<br />
Leithfield School are<br />
awaiting new teaching<br />
spaces, while work is<br />
progressing at Swannanoa<br />
and Kaiapoi Borough<br />
schools.<br />
Culverden’s Amuri Area<br />
School is bulging at the<br />
seams, beginning the new<br />
school year with 365 pupils,<br />
principal James Griggs says.<br />
The school is awaiting the<br />
Ministry of Education’s plans<br />
for the redevelopment of its<br />
senior campus, including six<br />
new teaching spaces.<br />
‘‘We started the year with<br />
365 students, which we would<br />
normally finish the year with.<br />
The school is built for around<br />
300 students, so we’ve been<br />
needing the new roll growth<br />
teaching spaces for five<br />
years,’’ Mr Griggs says.<br />
The six teaching spaces<br />
would futureproof the school,<br />
as well as replace some old<br />
classrooms, while the<br />
remaining senior campus<br />
buildings are expected to be<br />
refurbished.<br />
Meantime, it has been<br />
converting teacher offices<br />
into small classrooms to<br />
make do.<br />
‘‘If you’ve got one science<br />
lab and you need two, it’s<br />
hard to deliver the programmes<br />
you want to. It will<br />
be fantastic when it’s done<br />
Expansion ... Schools are growing in the region.<br />
and will set us up well for the<br />
future.’’<br />
Leithfield School is busy<br />
with the concept planning<br />
stage as it awaits anew fourteachingspace<br />
block,<br />
principal Sharon Marsh says.<br />
Two old classrooms are<br />
also set to be demolished.<br />
‘‘Because we are sited on a<br />
terrace, there is some<br />
geotechnical work that has<br />
had to be done around site<br />
suitability.’’<br />
Kaiapoi Borough School’s<br />
new technology block is on<br />
track to open in May, which<br />
will be welcome news for the<br />
10 contributing schools which<br />
use it.<br />
Swannanoa School’s roll<br />
growth has created some<br />
extra challenges as it<br />
prepares to celebrate its<br />
150th anniversary during<br />
Labour Weekend, principal<br />
Brian Price says.<br />
‘‘When we celebrated our<br />
125th there were 40 students<br />
and now we’ve got 340 —and<br />
we’ve even reduced our zone<br />
to support schools around us.<br />
It just shows the growth in<br />
our area.’’<br />
A140 square metre<br />
relocatable building, which<br />
was used as atemporary<br />
earthquake building, has<br />
been transported from the<br />
University of <strong>Canterbury</strong> to<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

opportunitiesthat the programme<br />
identifies.<br />
Farmingischanging. In previous<br />
generations the “sociallicenceto<br />

Now, the industry needs to remind<br />
itself that reducingemissions is an<br />
opportunity to reevaluatefarm<br />
efficiency. Farmspecific life cycle<br />

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

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

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

Arthur Paterson, batting at No. 3, scored<br />
awell compiled 74 to lift Lincolntoa<br />
competitive 251 off its allotted 45 overs.<br />
In reply, Darfield was in trouble early<br />
thanks to somegreat newball bowling<br />
from Hugh Paterson and TaylorHolland.<br />
Alister Collins was the onlyDarfield<br />
batsman to get under way but,when<br />
dismissed for 60, Darfield’s hopes faded<br />
with him. Darfield was eventually bundled<br />
out for 210, handingLincolnits first oneday<br />
competition win of the season.<br />

Boylewas supported well by youngster Gus<br />

In reply, Sefton never got underway<br />
thanks to an outstanding newball spell by<br />

in Sefton’sinnings.<br />
Afighting knock fromLanceTaylor<br />

In reply, Weedons started brightly,with<br />
its opening batsman and talisman Todd<br />
Inness scoring 76 off 87 balls.<br />
But the Weedonsmiddle order couldn’t<br />

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

Eager youngsters ... Young Ohoka students listen to Ohoka junior club president Stephen de Villiers during<br />

Skills, drills and plenty of thrills<br />
Introducing more youngsters to<br />
the game of rugby is akey goal<br />
for Ohoka Rugby Club ahead of<br />
its <strong>2021</strong> rugby season.<br />
The club ran several<br />
workshops at primary schools<br />
in its local catchment area this<br />
week. They were designed to<br />
increase awareness of the club,<br />
as well as introduce new<br />
players to the game.<br />
Junior club captain Stephen<br />
de Villiers said the workshops,<br />
held at Fernside, Ohoka,<br />
Swannanoa and West Eyreton<br />
schools, were ahuge success.<br />
‘‘We had great feedback, not<br />
just from the kids who were<br />
involved, but from the teachers<br />
and principals as well.<br />
‘‘The workshops were not<br />
only about increasing the<br />
awareness of our club and<br />
growing our player numbers,<br />
but also an opportunity to<br />
strengthen ties with our feeder<br />
schools and our wider<br />
community.’’<br />
Swannanoa School principal<br />
Brian Price said the workshops<br />
were agreat initiative.<br />
‘‘This is what community is<br />
all about. The kids were<br />
absolutely buzzing. It’s agreat<br />
opportunity for schools as well<br />
as the club, and what agreat<br />
group of role models for the<br />
kids.’’<br />
The pupils enjoyed arange of<br />
fun rugby drills, as well as<br />
fitness and ball skills.<br />
Introducing some youngsters to<br />
rugby for the first time was a<br />
highlight for Mr de Villiers.<br />
‘‘We saw kids that had never<br />
played before, getting involved<br />
and really enjoying themselves.<br />
‘‘We had one little girl who<br />
had so much fun she was<br />
adamant that she was signing<br />
up for the season,’’ he said.<br />
Ohoka Rugby Club will hold<br />
its registration evening today<br />
(Thursday, <strong>March</strong> <strong>18</strong>) from 5pm.<br />
