Major sewer works<br />
to replace scheme<br />

Resource consent breaches, growth, and<br />
financial sustainability are themain drivers<br />
behind anew sewer line beinglaid to the<br />

Governmentstimulus funding is helpingto<br />
pay for the upgrade, which is expected to cost<br />
about$2.8 million.<br />
In all,itwill hook 38 LoburnLea properties<br />
into the eastern districtssewer schemein<br />

It is expected that the work willbe<br />

The Waimakariri District Council said that<br />

Call for<br />
strategy<br />
revamp<br />
By DAVIDHILL<br />
The Woodend and Pegasus area<br />
needsanew strategy, says<br />
ShonaPowell.<br />
The WoodendSefton<br />
Community Boardchairwoman<br />
says the Woodend Pegasus<br />
Strategy,writtenin2<strong>01</strong>3, is out<br />
of date.<br />
‘‘Thearea has changed alot<br />
since2<strong>01</strong>3 and when we look at<br />
the strategy, alot of it has<br />
already been achieved.<br />
‘‘It’s in the Long Term Plan,<br />
but it’s afew years out (2023/24)<br />
and we wouldlike it brought<br />
forward.’’<br />
Both Woodend and Pegasus<br />
have populations around 3500,<br />
whileWaikuku has more than<br />
1800 residents. New subdivisionssuch<br />
as Ravenswood<br />
and WoodlandsEstate are<br />
selling fast.<br />
The area’spopulation is<br />
expectedtopass 12,000 over the<br />
next 30 years.<br />
‘‘In the first two months of the<br />
year,79consents fornew houses<br />
were issued for Woodend and<br />
Pegasus,and that’shalf of the<br />
districtwide consents,’’Ms<br />
Powell says.<br />
Safety improvementsin<br />
Woodend, youth facilities,<br />
GladstonePark developments,<br />
community facilitiesand the<br />
Woodend Bypassremain<br />
priorities for the area.<br />
‘‘There’salack of youth<br />
facilities. Thereisfunding<br />
available so we need to start<br />
working on that.We’ve tried to<br />
encouragelocalyouth to get<br />
involved, but it’s hard.’’<br />
The RangioraWoodend<br />
shared pathway is also set to be<br />
extendedfrom Chinnerys Road<br />
to School Road, which will<br />
improve safety for Woodend<br />
School children.<br />
The recentinstallation of the<br />
signalised crossing on Main<br />
<strong>North</strong>RdinWoodend has made<br />
adifferencefor school children<br />
and the elderly,but it is only<br />
‘‘stage one’’inthe town’s safety<br />
improvements, Ms Powellsays.<br />
Bulb sales to aid Rangiora Rotary school initiative<br />
Primary school students across <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> will be readytolearn each<br />
day thanks to aproject launched by the<br />
Rangiora RotaryClub.<br />
Project director Dorothy Stewartsays<br />
thousands of springbulbs are being sold,<br />
with fundsraised helping studentsstart<br />
school each day with the necessities.<br />
The scheme, whichhas been running<br />
for someyears, is being expanded, and all<br />
rates bills decrease.<br />
The council said the existing scheme was<br />
small and struggled to achieve the required<br />
quality fordischargedwaste. It would require<br />
ongoing spending to try to improve its<br />
performance, it said.<br />
‘‘Typically, the one way in whichrates can<br />
be lowered on small schemes is if growth<br />
occurs. This distributes the cost acrossawider<br />
pool of residents.’’<br />
The gravitywastewatersystem will be<br />
extended from the scheme boundary about<br />
1.8km along Dixon Road, and ConesRoad up<br />
to the north side of the Ashley River Bridge.<br />
Apump station will be built to pumpthe<br />
piped waste across the bridge, where it will<br />
connect into the Rangiora system in Ashley<br />
Street.<br />
It will be treatedatthe Rangiora<br />
wastewater treatment plant.<br />
The existingLoburnLea plant willbe<br />
decommissioned and the land eventually sold<br />
as aresidentialsection.<br />
There will be speed reductions and<br />
disruptions, with traffic managementinplace<br />
in the area,particularlyonConesRoad and<br />

District shakes off Covid turmoil<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>April</strong> 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />
3<br />
Waimakariri retailers appear<br />
to have defied gravity in<br />
withstanding the economic<br />
impact of Covid19.<br />
While the lockdown 12<br />
months ago brought the region<br />
to astandstill forseveral<br />
weeks, eftposspending in the<br />
Waimakariri districtincreased<br />
by 1.3 percentin2020<br />
compared with the year before,<br />
according to Marketview.<br />
This resultdefiedthe<br />
national picture, with the<br />
eftpos spend across New<br />
Zealandfallingby7.4% in the<br />
same period.<br />
‘‘This represents agreat<br />
result for Waimakariri,’’<br />
Waimakariri DistrictCouncil<br />
recovery manager Simon Hart<br />
says. ‘‘We saw areally good<br />
bounceback afterthe<br />
lockdown.’’<br />
While Waimakariri spending<br />
dived duringthe lockdown, it<br />
trackedahead of the 2<strong>01</strong>9<br />
spend for the rest of the yearto<br />
deliverthe annualspending<br />
increase.<br />
Food, liquorand pharmacy<br />
spending led the way with a<br />
14.3% jump on the previous<br />
year, while hospitalityand<br />
accommodation felt the full<br />
brunt of Covid19, withan<br />
11.6% slump.<br />
‘‘I thinkifyou talkto<br />
retailers they would say,‘yes, it<br />
was adifficult year, butweare<br />
doing better now,’’ Mr Hart<br />
says.<br />
‘‘A lot of credithas to go to<br />
local businesses and our<br />
commercial sector for being as<br />
resilient as they havebeen,<br />
and forbeinginnovative.<br />
‘‘All of our townshavebeen<br />
reallybusy through the<br />
balance of theyear under Alert<br />

The good resultalsoshowed<br />
that the community responded<br />
positivelytothe ‘‘buy local’’<br />
message as the country came<br />
out of lockdown.<br />
Whileoverallretail spending<br />
is up and the official<br />
unemploymentrate is lower<br />
than 12 months ago, Mr Hart<br />
says several businessesare<br />
finding it tough.<br />
The unemployment figures<br />
do not reflect job losses in<br />
casual employment, students,<br />
thosewho have partners<br />
working,orthosewho have<br />
entered retraining.<br />
Mr Hart hasabusy few years<br />
ahead in his regular role as the<br />
council’s business and centres<br />
manager, with projects being<br />
implementedinboth the<br />
Kaiapoi and Rangiora town<br />
centre plans as partofthis<br />
year’sLong Term Plan.<br />
TheWoodend Area Strategy<br />
andthe OxfordTown Centre<br />
Plan are also up for review.<br />
‘‘Therehas been alot of<br />
activity in Woodend, Pegasus<br />
andRavenswood,sowewill be<br />
consideringthat activity, how<br />
we can support that ongoing<br />
growth, and the linkages<br />
betweenthe towns.’’<br />
The councilwill also be<br />
developing aLocal Economic<br />
Development Strategy in<br />
conjunction withEnterprise<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
‘‘Thelast strategy was<br />
developednot long after the<br />
earthquakesand the projects<br />
were accelerated to support<br />
the recovery,’’ Mr Hart says.<br />
‘‘We havebeen meeting with<br />
the stakeholders involved on a<br />
regular basis to understand the<br />
spending data and how Covid<br />
is impactingonthis, and to see<br />
how the councilcan support<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
The New Zealand Western Riding<br />
Federation’s South Island<br />
Championship Show was held at the<br />
Mandeville Sports Club Centre last<br />
weekend.<br />
The show was hosted by the<br />
Christchurch Western Riding<br />
Association at its Mandeville<br />
headquarters and marked the end of the<br />
South Island season which runs from<br />
October to the end of March.<br />
Thirtytwo horse and rider<br />
combinations from around the country<br />
took part in the show, including stallion<br />
Dunit Magnum Style, an American<br />
quarter horse bred in Canada and<br />
imported to New Zealand by ownerrider<br />
Angel Marsh, of Wellington.<br />
Show secretary Catherine Sellin, who<br />
is also the federation’s South Island<br />
vicepresident, said most competitors<br />
came from the South Island.<br />
People were attracted to the sport<br />
because of the challenge, she said.<br />
‘‘There are really high expectations of<br />
horse performance and horsemanship.<br />
You have to be precise,’’ she says.<br />
However, the cowboystyle dress code,<br />
which was less formal than other equine<br />
disciplines, also appealed to many, with<br />
riders favouring widebrimmed cowboy<br />
hats, jeans with belts and westernstyle<br />
buckles, cowboy boots, spurs and<br />
colourful shirts with bling.<br />

Summer fun ... The aqua play park proposed for the NCF Reserve in Kaiapoi will be similar<br />
to the Kiwi Water Park facility near Cromwell, in Central Otago.<br />

Trust wants to operate<br />
Kaiapoi aqua play park<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Kaiapoi could have anew inflatable<br />
aqua play park later in the year if a<br />
proposal from the WHoW Charitable<br />
Trust is approved.<br />
The KaiapoiTuahiwi Community<br />
Board has agreed to allow the proposal<br />
to go out for public engagement to<br />
establish atemporary aqua play park at<br />
the lake within Kaiapoi’s NCF Reserve,<br />
tucked in behind Courtenay Drive in the<br />
former residential red zone.<br />
WHoW deputy chairman Jason Mill<br />
says the trust hopes to have it operating<br />
on October 1ifthe play park is approved.<br />
‘‘The feedback we’ve had from the<br />
council is that we should know by mid<br />
<strong>April</strong>.<br />
‘‘We need to order it and pay for it by<br />
May 15 so we can get it here in time.’’<br />
The aqua play park would be a<br />
temporary project while the trust<br />
completes afull feasibility study for an<br />
aqua sports facility as aKaiapoi<br />
regeneration project.<br />
An initial prefeasibility study<br />
conducted last year indicated such a<br />
facility could be commercially viable.<br />
The trust has been engaging with the<br />
Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga to support<br />
longterm mahinga kai initiatives in the<br />
area, and it plans to engage local school<br />
children to help with water quality<br />
testing.<br />
The lake is an old stormwater pond,<br />
but if looked after could provide a<br />
valuable community resource, Mr Mill<br />
says. ‘‘It’s apiece of water that needs<br />
some work.<br />
‘‘There’s abit of weed in there, but we<br />
are very keen to instigate some more<br />
work to ensure it is safe to use.<br />
‘‘There’s apicnic area and adog park,<br />
so it will make agreat space for<br />
families.’’<br />
Initial tests indicate that the water<br />
quality in the lake would be suitable. But<br />
the Waimakariri District Council will<br />
require more testing and discussions<br />
with Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> before<br />
making afinal decision.<br />
The trust plans to use large storage<br />
containers on the site as akiosk,<br />
changing rooms and toilet facilities.<br />
The aqua play equipment is inflatable,<br />
so it can be deflated each night and<br />
locked away in one of the storage<br />
containers.<br />
It would operate for six months of the<br />
year, with the containers and all<br />
equipment removed from the site during<br />
the offseason.<br />
KaiapoiTuahiwi Community Board<br />
chairwoman Chris Greengrass<br />
welcomed the proposal.<br />
‘‘Any new proposal is welcome for<br />
Kaiapoi which will bring visitors to the<br />
town for the right reasons, and I’m very<br />
encouraged by the positive comments<br />
I’m hearing and seeing.<br />
‘‘The aqua play park will be aunique<br />
experience for residents and visitors<br />
alike, and will bring another dimension<br />
to what Kaiapoi already offers. Another<br />
reason to spend the day here.’’<br />

Boost for Oxford observatory<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Oxford Area School’s observatory has<br />
received afunding boostfrom the local<br />
community.<br />
The Oxford PromotionsAction<br />
Committee (OPAC) has got in<br />
behind the observatory,<br />
helping with the costs of<br />
installing its new 12inch<br />
telescope and creating<br />
outside pier mountsfor the<br />
10inch telescope.<br />
Principal Mike Hart says<br />
OPAC wantstosee people<br />
coming into the community,<br />
and they see the potential of<br />
the observatory.<br />
‘‘People can come in for a<br />
coffee or ameal and then go the<br />
observatory.<br />
‘‘We have something whichisreally<br />
awesome and unique, and with the new<br />
motorway, getting to Oxfordisawhole lot<br />
quicker.’’<br />
Strategy review<br />

community?<br />
Towards an Inclusive Environment is<br />

find out how the strategy is working, agefriendlycommunity<br />
facilitator<br />
Madeleine Burdon says.<br />
‘‘We are really looking forward to<br />
receiving feedbackasitwill give us a<br />
clear picture of how the council is doing<br />
and where we can improve.’’<br />
The feedback deadline is 5pm on<br />
Friday,<strong>April</strong> 30. The findings,tobe<br />
reported to the council and community,<br />

Mike Hart<br />
Mr Hart saysthe new telescope has<br />
beeninstalled and the committee has<br />
had lessons on how to operate it, so are<br />
all set for the end of daylight saving.<br />
‘‘It’s all automated once it’s calibrated<br />
to the stars,soit’s much easier to use<br />
thanthe 10inch telescope.<br />
We should be able to use the<br />
observatory alot more.’’<br />
The old 10inch telescope<br />
willbekept inside the<br />
observatory,but can be<br />
wheeledoutside to be<br />
mounted in ordertocaterfor<br />
larger groups.<br />
‘‘Westillhave our eyesset<br />
on buying a16inch telescope<br />
and,ifweachievethat,we<br />
willhave three telescopes, so<br />
we will be abletocater for even more<br />
people,’’ Mr Hart says.<br />
Thisterm the school is offering an<br />
Earth to Mooncourse for year 9and 10<br />
students, supported by the observatory<br />
committee.<br />

Concern over region'shousing shortage<br />
By JOANNE GUMBRELL,chairwomanofthe<br />
Waimakariri Agefriendly Advisory Group<br />
The WaimakaririAgefriendly Advisory<br />
Group has beenupdated by its housing<br />
subgroup, which is focusedonthe<br />
shortage of suitable housing in the<br />
district as our population continues to<br />
rise, particularlyinthe olderage group.<br />
Nearlyaquarter of New Zealanders<br />
will be over the age of 65 by 2034,<br />
accordingtoStatistics New Zealand<br />
figures.<br />
Thirtypercent of peopleinthe<br />
Waimakariridistrict will be over 65 by<br />
2028.<br />
We just need to look in our local<br />
paperstosee what is goingoninthe<br />
community.<br />
The council has awhole page towards<br />
the backofarecent issue of the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong><strong>News</strong> on its DraftLong<br />
TermPlan. The plan is now openfor<br />
comment, withsubmissions closingon<br />
<strong>April</strong> 12.<br />
Specifically,the council wants<br />
feedback on three things: New<br />
community facilities for Pegasus and<br />
Ravenswood, upgrades to the Rangiora<br />
Library and civic area, and parking in<br />
Rangiora.<br />
As residents, we havethe right to<br />
makesubmissions on anything.<br />
We are seeingthis currently with the<br />

Climate Commission needs<br />
to provide economic analysis<br />
Climate Change is fast becoming atopical<br />
issue amongmany in thefarming<br />
community.<br />
Alargenumber of farmers Ihavespoken<br />
to saytheyareopentotransitional change,<br />
so long as their lifestyle is not greatly<br />
affected too quickly.<br />
The Climate Commission was created<br />
followingbipartisan support acrossthe<br />
52nd parliament.<br />
The National Party wanted to commit<br />
New Zealand to thetarget ofnetzero<br />
emissionsby2050. Hence,thecommission<br />
was createdtoprovide parliament with<br />
independent and sound<br />
recommendations.<br />
Sincethe commission releaseditsdraft<br />
report, theNational Partyhas been<br />
underwhelmed.<br />
Theentire point ofthe commission was<br />
to provideuswithpolicy<br />
recommendationsto enableusto reach<br />
ourtargets,but with sufficienteconomic<br />
analysisalongside them.<br />
We have yet to see sufficient economic<br />
modelling or costsassociatedwiththe<br />
policiesithas recommended.<br />
Farmers need to see thisinformation.<br />
Theyneedtounderstand whatisgoingon,<br />
andhow government policy will affect<br />
them.<br />
National leader Judith Collins has said<br />
You might like to meet with friends<br />
and neighboursand put asubmission<br />
together on the Long TermPlan, while<br />
enjoying asocial gettogether at the<br />
same time.<br />
Our Mayor Dan Gordon assures us<br />
that people are at the centreof<br />
everything thatthe council does. We<br />
are listened to.<br />

❛We have yet to see sufficient<br />

associated with the policies it<br />
has recommended.❜<br />
openly that, in orderfor theparty to<br />
support the commission’sreport, we need<br />
tosee thecostings.<br />
We have awonderful, marketdriven<br />
vehicle that is abletodeliveranetzero<br />
target called theEmissions Trading<br />
Scheme (ETS).<br />
In fact, the commission’s own report<br />
suggests that the Emissions Trading<br />
Scheme can deliver usnetzeroemissions<br />
in 2050 through acarbon price of $50.<br />
It therefore begs the question, why do we<br />
need these nannystatepoliciestodictate<br />
whatwecanand can’t dowhen the<br />
EmissionsTradingSchemecandeliver the<br />
resultsweneed?<br />
Farmers need the commissiontofront<br />
up withtheir numbers. It needs to tellus<br />
the advantages and disadvantages of each<br />
policy they give.<br />
This will allowMPstounderstandthe<br />

Planting day at<br />
coastal park<br />
Volunteers are welcome at a<br />
community planting day being held in<br />
Waimakariri’s Tuhaitara Coastal Park<br />
on Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 17, to continue<br />
restoring the park’s native wetland and<br />
coastal ecosystems.<br />
The meeting point will be in Tiritiri<br />
Moana Drive, in Pegasus. The day will<br />
run from 10am to 1pm.<br />
The Te Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust<br />
will supply spades, and the trees for<br />
planting.<br />
It will also provide drinking water<br />
but to minimise the use of singleuse<br />
plastic, volunteers are asked to bring<br />
their own reusable water bottle.<br />
Volunteers should also take work<br />
gloves, sun screen, ahat and clothing<br />
suited to the weather.<br />

"As a Council, we are carefully<br />
evaluating this. We look forward to<br />
public consultation to better<br />
understand your views on these<br />
essential services. In the meantime,<br />
we will use this funding to upgrade<br />
many services, we have until the end<br />
of March 2022 to use this funding."<br />
Aword from your CEO, Hamish Dobbie<br />
There’s something in the water. This expression is relevant now more<br />
than ever, with central government proposing to amalgamate three<br />
waters (drinking, waste and storm water) services regionally, into newly<br />
formed super entities separate from local government – local<br />
government being entities like Hurunui District Council.<br />
Earlier this year the Hurunui district was allocated $7.5 million for three<br />
waters projects throughout our district, as part of the Government’s<br />
$761 million COVID-19 stimulus package, and a way to get the<br />
conversation rolling about this potential amalgamation. So far, we have<br />
identified 22 individual projects. To date we have used $1.1 million.<br />
Currently underway isthe installation of 2.4km of new waste water main<br />
from Teviotview Place to Hursley Terrace, Amberley. This larger<br />
diameter of the new main will increase the capacity in the township’s<br />
wastewater network to cater for future development. Other projects<br />
include the construction of new water reservoirs district wide to improve<br />
storage capacity. Groundwater investigations district wide aim to find<br />
potential new drinking water sources toprovide amore resilient water<br />
supply and cater for future demand. Anumber of watermain upgrades<br />
have been planned to replace aging infrastructure and increase<br />
capacity. Over the next few months you will see watermain upgrades in<br />
Amberley, Hanmer Springs, and Waiau.<br />
The rationale behind amalgamation is largely based on economies of<br />
scale associated with larger organisations, significantly increasing<br />
compliance (and costs) associated with the government's new water<br />
regulator (Taumata Aurowai) and socialisation of costs across<br />
population density.<br />
As aCouncil, we are carefully evaluating this. We look forward to public<br />
consultation to better understand your views on these essential<br />
services. In the meantime, we will use this funding toupgrade many<br />
services, we have until the end of March 2022 touse this funding.<br />

It’snoholds barred as wrestlers<br />
prepare for Kaiapoi fight night<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Wrestling fanswill get to live out their<br />
fantasies at the Kaiapoi Club on Saturday<br />
night.<br />
The KaiapoibasedUnified<br />
Championship Wrestling will bring back<br />
memories for those who remember 1980s<br />
wrestling starssuch as The Bushwhackers,<br />
Macho Man Randy Savage,and Hulk<br />
Hogan.<br />
Just likethe 1980s television show, WWF<br />
Superstars of Wrestling,the Kaiapoibased<br />
wrestlers have their own personas and<br />
back stories.And, of course, thereare good<br />
guys and badguys, saysChris Miles,of<br />
Kaiapoi.<br />
Chris is known as ‘‘The Bogan Jesus’’,<br />
who ‘‘turns water into bourbon’’, and his<br />
main rival is ‘‘Robbo the Aussie<br />
Dreamboat’’.<br />
‘‘Robbo’’, or Shaun London, is one of the<br />
‘‘bad guys’’ because, well, ‘‘who doesn’t<br />
hate adirty Aussie’’, Shaunsays.<br />
True to form, Robbo’strademark move<br />
is the ‘‘underarm bowl’’.<br />
‘‘It’sasmuch about the story as the<br />
wrestling.It’s Days Of Our Lives for men.<br />
It’s likewatching Shortland Street —<br />
somethinginitmakesyou want to keep<br />
comingback,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘There is banter and beverages.’’<br />
But safety is paramount, with wrestlers<br />
training for monthsbeforeentering the<br />
ring. ‘‘It hurts more than you realise. We<br />
might be putting on ashow, but Ican<br />
assureyou theimpact is very, very real,’’<br />
Shaun says.<br />
The semiprofessional wrestlers train<br />
two or three nights aweek for the fight<br />
nights, with about six to eightshows ayear<br />
held upstairs at the Kaiapoi Club.<br />
‘‘It’sanamazing wrestlingcrowd. Our<br />
oldestfan is in her 90s and we had ababy<br />
at the last show,’’ Shaun says.<br />
‘‘We make sure there’s no swearing, so<br />
kids can come.And noone is on steroids—<br />
we’re all naturalathletes,’’says Shaun,<br />
who playedbasketball to ahigh levelin<br />
Australia before moving to Christchurch.<br />
The wrestlers preferthe 1980s style of<br />
wrestling,which they grew up withon<br />
television, to the ‘‘ninjaflips’’ used by<br />
modernday professional wrestlers.<br />
While theirwrestling heroes made a<br />
fortune from their sport, Kaiapoi’s<br />
wrestlers have day jobs.Shaunhas a<br />
masters degreeinpsychologyand is a<br />
support worker for peoplewith<br />
disabilities, whileChrisisatradesman.<br />
‘‘We don’tmake alot of money (from<br />
wrestling), but it’sprofitable enough to go<br />
into the next show,’’ Chris says.<br />
Saturday night’s wrestling will hostthe<br />
company’s first women’smatch with<br />
‘‘Shay’’— Ayesha Still, of Christchurch —<br />
takingon<strong>North</strong>land wrestler ‘‘Grace<br />
Lightning’’.<br />
Fight night ... Referee ‘‘John Reginald’’, also known as John Barnden, of Christchurch,<br />
preps ‘‘Shay’’ (Ayesha Still, of Christchurch) on the finer points of wrestling ahead of her<br />
first big fight at the Kaiapoi Club on Saturday night.<br />

Covid19 has failed to stop Kaiapoi mums<br />
from supporting aspecial little girl.<br />
Last year’slockdown put adampener on<br />
the efforts of Kaiapoibased<br />
dance group Hot<br />
Mamas to raise fundsfor<br />
5yearold Amaria (Riri)<br />
Emery,who has arare<br />
developmental condition.<br />
Amariahas CDKL5<br />
deficiency,meaning her<br />
body is unable to produce<br />
the proteinresponsible<br />
for providing instructions<br />
for brain function and<br />
development.<br />
CDKL5 deficiency,<br />
which standsfor cyclindependent<br />
kinaselike 5,<br />
has symptoms that<br />
include uncontrollable<br />
epilepsy, andresults in a<br />
compromised immune<br />
systemwhich requires a<br />
specific keto diet, her<br />
mum, Stephanie Emery,<br />
says.<br />
The group had plannedtorun ahalfmarathon<br />
in Marlborough in May lastyear.<br />
It was cancelled, but they continued to<br />

Their effortswere not in vain as they<br />
managed to raisesome fundsthrough a<br />

Emery, aged 7, goes out for arun<br />
with her little sisterAmaria in the<br />
allterrain buggy.<br />
parents to buy an allterrain buggy.<br />
‘‘One good thing that happened is I<br />
managed to take her up Rapaki (last<br />
month)with the buggy we purchased<br />
duringlockdown withsomeofthe money<br />
we raised, so she could<br />
come running with us,’’<br />
Stephanie says.<br />
‘‘It was really good and<br />
she loved being out in the<br />
fresh air.’’<br />
The groupalso<br />

in November.<br />
Amaria’s dad James is<br />
runningthe Christchurch<br />
halfmarathon next<br />
weekend,not as a<br />
fundraiser but still in<br />
support of Amaria and all<br />
those withher condition.<br />
While the allterrain<br />
buggy has allowed Amaria<br />
more freedom, her<br />
prognosis is not so good.<br />
‘‘Amaria has<br />
unfortunatelygone<br />
downhill since lockdown,’’ Stephanie said<br />
from ChristchurchHospital lastweek.<br />
‘‘She has had some stomach issuesand<br />

degree in science from<br />
Massey University.<br />
‘‘Increasing global demand<br />
for safe, healthy and nutritious<br />
food that is produced to<br />
ahigh environmental and<br />
animal welfare standard<br />
makes me optimistic about<br />
the future of New Zealand<br />
dairy farming,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘I see myself fitting in as an<br />
innovator and early adopter<br />
of new farming techniques,<br />
systems and technology.’’<br />
Staffing shortages through<br />
calving and mating in his first<br />
season were challenging, he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘I’m proud Iput in 100<br />
percent effort during that<br />
period to get through it and<br />
2355873v1<br />
still achieve good results.<br />
‘‘During the harder times,<br />
I’m driven by wanting to<br />
provide the best care for the<br />
animals, as well as<br />
supporting my workmates.’’<br />
Mattes would like to see an<br />
improved lifestyle and more<br />
worktime flexibility for<br />

Rebecca named as finalist<br />
ACheviot farmer is one of<br />
two finalists in the Dairy<br />
Women’s Network’s<br />
second annual regional<br />
leader of the year award.<br />
Rebecca Green has<br />
been chosen alongside<br />
<strong>North</strong>land farmer Donna<br />
Griggs from among the<br />
network’s 70 regional<br />
leaders throughout the<br />
country.<br />
‘‘Our regional leaders<br />
are the faces of the Dairy<br />
Women’s Network and<br />
are the first point of<br />
contact for farmers<br />
around New Zealand,’’<br />
chief executive Jules<br />
Benton says.<br />
‘‘They put enormous<br />
amounts of effort and time<br />
into organising and<br />
hosting regional events to<br />
provide their<br />
communities with the<br />
knowledge to further<br />
benefit local farms and,<br />
ultimately, the wider<br />
industry.’’<br />
She says both finalists<br />
demonstrate afocus on<br />
the organisation’s value<br />
Rebecca Green<br />
of building connections.<br />
These can range from<br />
organising and hosting<br />
events to connect with<br />
regional members, to<br />
hosting discussion groups<br />
on their farms,<br />
involvement in school<br />
boards, and getting<br />
involved in regional<br />
branches of industry<br />
organisations, such as the<br />
Dairy Industry Awards<br />
and Federated Farmers.<br />
‘‘The award not only<br />
highlights the effort they<br />
put in to their roles as<br />
volunteer regional<br />
leaders, but the work they<br />
do behind the scenes for<br />
the good of the industry.<br />
‘‘Our two finalists are<br />
both excellent<br />
representatives of the<br />
Dairy Women’s Network<br />
and consciously<br />
incorporate our values<br />
into their work and daytoday<br />
lives.’’<br />
This year’s award is<br />
supported by FMG.<br />
The <strong>2021</strong> Dairy<br />
Women’s Network<br />
regional leader of the<br />
year will receive a<br />

Covid19 hascreatedopportunities as well<br />
as challenges for dairy industry<br />
recruitment. AgriTrainingbusiness<br />
development manager Bryn Price,<br />
speaking at last week’s South Island<br />
AgriculturalField Days at Kirwee, said<br />
attracting young Kiwis to the industry has<br />
always been achallenge.<br />
Whileborderrestrictions had closedthe<br />
door on many migrant workers, Covid19<br />
uncertainty had opened the eyesoflocal<br />
workers who have not previously<br />
considered an agriculturalcareer.<br />
‘‘We mostly do the training and workin<br />
with recruitment companies,but in the<br />
last 12 months much of our work has been<br />
in offering snappy,shortcourses to retrain<br />
and redeploy peoplewho lost theirjobs.<br />
‘‘We’ve always struggled to get people<br />
and as an industry we’re still shortofstaff<br />
in <strong>Canterbury</strong>. Most of that willbedairying<br />
and arable. So we needmore people.’’<br />
WhileAgriTraining normally worked<br />
with school leavers, this year it has had<br />

‘‘We say to people that they all have<br />
transferable skills,’’MrPrice said.<br />
‘‘I had awomanwho was amanagerin<br />
hospitality who enquired and Isaid ‘you<br />
have staff management skills and you can<br />
do rosters and planyour time, so yes, you<br />
have to stepback for ayear or two,but you<br />
will move up prettyquickly’.<br />
‘‘We are getting people with avariety of<br />
skills who haven’t naturally come to us.’’<br />
Many schools tended not to promote<br />
agriculture as acareer option, which<br />
presentedachallenge to industry<br />
recruiters, Mr Pricesaid.<br />
‘‘We wanttoget into the schools so they<br />
are aware of the opportunities. Alot of<br />
youngpeople, especially boys, have alot of<br />
energy and don’t want to stayinthe<br />
classroom,soifyou canget them outonthe<br />
farm you can use that energy.’’<br />

Mycotoxins under<br />
the radar for many<br />
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary<br />
metabolites produced by fungi (moulds)<br />
that cause an undesirable effect<br />
(mycotoxicosis) when animalsare<br />
exposed.<br />
The occurrenceand concentrationsare<br />
variable by year, whichisexpected<br />
because of the annualvariation in weather<br />
conditions and plant stressors knownto<br />
affect mycotoxin formation.<br />
This season, being warm and humid, was<br />
particularly favourable for growing<br />
conditions for moulds, resulting in high<br />
mycotoxin levels on many farms.<br />
The primary classes of mycotoxins are<br />
aflatoxins, zearalenone, trichothecenes,<br />
fumonisins, ochratoxinA,and the ergot<br />
alkaloids.<br />
Ruminants appear relatively tolerant of<br />
the adverseeffects of mycotoxins, perhaps<br />
because of the ability of the rumen<br />
microflora to partiallydetoxify these<br />
agents.<br />
Ruminaldegradation of mycotoxins may<br />
have helped mask mycotoxin effects in<br />
dairy cows, which in recentyears have<br />
becomemore recognisedasproduction<br />
stresseshave increased,and as the<br />
industry has paid more attention to<br />
management.<br />
However,increasedrumenpassage<br />
rates of today’s high production dairy<br />
cattle can likely overwhelm the ability of<br />
the rumentocompletely denature the<br />
toxins.<br />
Mycotoxins, in large doses, can be the<br />
primary agent behind acute health or<br />
production problems in adairy herd.<br />
From the field tothe feedmill and your farm to<br />
our fork, ALLTECH MYCOTOXIN MANAGEMENT<br />
can help you safeguard the health of your<br />
animals, thequalityofyour feed andthe<br />
security of our food supply.<br />
Your animalsare your business.<br />
Protecting them is ours.<br />
www.knowmycotoxins.com<br />
However, more likely, mycotoxins are<br />
contributing to chronic problems,<br />
including ahigher incidenceofdisease,<br />
poor reproductive performance, or<br />
suboptimalmilk production. Ruminal<br />
degradation of mycotoxins helpsprotect<br />
the cow against acute toxicitybut may<br />
contribute to chronic problems associated<br />
with longterm consumption of low levels<br />
of mycotoxins.<br />
Mycotoxins affect dairy cows by<br />
reducing feed consumption, reducing<br />
nutrient use, alteringrumen fermentation,<br />
suppressing immunity, altering<br />
reproduction, irritatingtissues, and<br />
causing cellular death.<br />
They exert their effectsthrough several<br />
means:<br />
Reduced intakeorfeed refusal;<br />
Reduced nutrient absorption and<br />
impaired metabolism;<br />
Alteredendocrineand exocrine<br />
systems;<br />
Suppressed immune function;<br />
Alteredmicrobialgrowth.<br />
More than 80 animal trials conducted<br />
around the worldhave demonstrated that<br />
feeding the Alltech productMycosorb can<br />
be used as part of astrategy to address<br />
mycotoxinsinfeed.<br />
Mycosorb has beenproven to adsorb a<br />
wide range of mycotoxins quickly and<br />
effectively, providing anatural solution to<br />
address this issue.<br />

Field days draw bumper crowds<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Record crowds flocked to<br />
the South Island<br />
Agricultural Field Days last<br />
week.<br />
Nearly 25,000 people<br />
lined up to see the<br />
machinery demonstrations,<br />
primary industry trade sites,<br />
and interactive stalls on the<br />
first two days of the threeday<br />
event.<br />
‘‘We’ve had awonderful<br />
few days,’’ organising<br />
committee chairwoman<br />
Michaela McLeod said.<br />
The forecast of great<br />
weather on the final day<br />
pointed toward another<br />
bumper crowd.<br />
‘‘The feedback we’re<br />
getting is the exhibitors are<br />
really enjoying the positive<br />
engagement they’re having<br />
with the public, which is a<br />
great achievement for our<br />
organising committee which<br />
is largely made up of<br />
volunteers.’’<br />
Site holders reported<br />
good engagement with<br />
clients, with most just<br />
pleased to get out to see<br />
what was on offer.<br />
Lincoln University<br />
student engagement<br />
manager Jaime Shone said<br />
many prospective students<br />
had called in, while alumni<br />
had enjoyed popping by to<br />
catch up with the latest<br />
developments.<br />
The Silver Fern Farms<br />
site was popular, promoting<br />
its new burger range, while<br />
suppliers and shareholders<br />
were treated to lunch by<br />
Dunedin chef Greg Piner,<br />
New Zealand retail brand<br />
manager Elise Le Compte<br />
said.<br />
‘‘The burgers are going<br />

down atreat.’’<br />
Sarah Reed, of Culverden,<br />
who developed her own<br />
clothing line, The Grumpy<br />
Merino, during last year’s<br />
lockdown, was pleased to<br />
get out and talk to clients.<br />
She was promoting her<br />
new blanket range and<br />
knitting yarns which were<br />
fully traceable to sheep from<br />
the The Grampians station.<br />
‘‘It’s pretty important to us<br />
as afamily operation that we<br />
have the diversity which<br />
gets us all involved, so it’s<br />
not just the boys’ gig.’’<br />
Police Sergeant Richard<br />
van Asch, who breeds South<br />
Devon cattle, was out doing<br />
the rounds.<br />
The police joined forces<br />
with Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand, St John and<br />
the Malvern Community<br />
Patrol to present an<br />
emergency services site<br />
with the police tractor,<br />
provided by farm equipment<br />
supplier Norwood,<br />
attracting the most<br />
attention.<br />
‘‘The tractor always<br />
breaks the ice and<br />
invariably we hear about<br />
unreported crime,’’ Mr van<br />
Asch said.<br />
Police could respond only<br />
to reported crime, so the<br />
public were reminded to<br />
call 111 in an emergency, or<br />
call 105, or go online to<br />
105.police.govt.nz.<br />
The <strong>2021</strong> AgriInnovation<br />
Award went to Frizzell’s<br />
Smart Paddock Weigher,<br />
which allowed farmers to<br />
weigh young livestock in the<br />
paddock.<br />
Best site went to Alpine<br />
Buildings NZ, which took<br />
home the Hamish Reid<br />
Memorial Trophy, given in<br />
memory of the former field<br />
days organising committee<br />
chairman.<br />
The best big site went to<br />
Polaris, while Survus<br />
Consultants took home the<br />
best small site.<br />

Rangiora Toyota<br />
Sefton triumphs<br />
in cricket final<br />
Sefton won its first country<br />
cricket title in three years<br />
after its senior players<br />
stood up in key moments in<br />
ahardfought final against<br />
Darfield on Saturday.<br />
Rangiora’s showpiece<br />
MainPower Oval cricket<br />
ground hosted the final of<br />
the CRV Ambreed Country<br />
Premier One Day 2020/21<br />
competition.<br />
Ayoung and talented<br />
Darfield XI batted first on<br />
the firstclass ground, but<br />
the side was in early<br />
trouble at 33/2 after<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Country<br />
paceman Jed Roberts<br />
cheaply removed its<br />
openers, brothers Zak and<br />
Liam Foulkes.<br />
Ryan Hughes batted<br />
superbly to anchor the<br />
innings before he was<br />
stumped by Tim Harrison<br />
off the wily bowling of Nigel<br />
Granger for 64 off 80 balls.<br />
It was then another<br />
experienced and canny<br />
Sefton campaigner, Jeff<br />
Jones, who swung the match<br />
firmly in favour of the<br />
Seals.<br />
Jones ripped through the<br />
middle order, snaring four<br />
key wickets and helping<br />
restrict Darfield to 177,<br />
being all out in the 45th and<br />
final over.<br />
Chasing the mediocre<br />
total, Sefton’s run chase got<br />
off to abad start, losing<br />
Micah Campbell in the first<br />
over.<br />
Chris Warner (32 off 48)<br />
and Matt Laffey (56 off 106)<br />
knuckled down to repair<br />
the innings, putting on 70<br />

The festival was part of New<br />
