Wind farm to be built<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Construction of the <strong>22</strong>turbine<br />
Mt Cass Wind Farm, consented<br />
eightyears ago, is scheduled to<br />
startlate thisyear.<br />
MainPowerexpects the wind<br />
farm,which will be the largest in<br />
the South Island, to be finished<br />
in 18 months.<br />
The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> lines<br />
company earlierput the cost of<br />
the farmatabout $200 million.<br />
The turbines will stretch<br />
alonga7.5 kilometre ridge on Mt<br />
Cass,about5km east of Waipara<br />
township. The Kate Valley<br />
landfillisnearby.<br />
It will generate 93 megawatts<br />
when at fullcapacity—enough<br />
for 40,000 homes.<br />
MainPowerchiefexecutive<br />
Andy Lester says the projectis<br />
exciting for the company and<br />
community.‘‘As well as longterm<br />
economic benefits for our<br />
shareholders,consumers and<br />
community, the project includes<br />
$6m of environmental initiatives,<br />
including a127hectare<br />
conservation managementarea<br />
and a7km extension to the<br />
existing Mt CassWalkway.’’<br />

Class is all boys<br />
By SHELLEYTOPP<br />
Omihi Primary School’s Year<br />
03 junior class is all male,<br />
the first time this has<br />
occurred at the school.<br />
There are 12 boys in the<br />
class at the school, in<br />
Waipara, where most of the<br />
34 pupils are male, with only<br />
12 girls enrolled.<br />
The junior class teacher<br />
Penny Vincent says she<br />
enjoys having aclass of boys.<br />
‘‘It’s aspecial point in my<br />
teaching career. We spend<br />
lots of our day learning<br />
through movement and I<br />
have now learnt alot about<br />
tractors and know how to<br />
spell lots of tricky dinosaur<br />
names.’’<br />
School principal Maree<br />
Lucas says most pupils come<br />
from the immediate area.<br />
‘‘The boys love our local<br />
environment, farms, getting<br />
outdoors and anything to do<br />
with tractors. It has meant<br />
that Penny can really tailor<br />
her teaching to suit the boys’<br />
needs.’’<br />
That may change later this<br />
year. ‘‘We have three girls<br />
starting in the middle of the<br />
year in this class, which is<br />
exciting and will add anew<br />
dynamic again,’’ Maree says.<br />

Farmers hurting from<br />
drought should seek help<br />
The autumn drought in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
is concerningand continues to be a<br />
problem, as they have in previous years.<br />
WithChristchurch notching up the<br />
driest March in 12 years, the warm<br />
temperatures are startingtorattle many<br />
in the community.<br />
Farmersin <strong>Canterbury</strong> are well aware<br />
that if we don’t get goodautumnrainfall<br />
it will be adifficult winter, with feed in<br />
shortsupply.<br />
Somehave already had to buy<br />
significantamountsoffeed to get through<br />
this far, as wellasdestocking,byeither<br />
sending their animals to other farmsor<br />
sending them to the meat works<br />
prematurely.<br />
Withthe climate agencyNiwa<br />
predictingthat <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> will<br />
experiencelower thannormal rainfall<br />
from <strong>April</strong> to June, farmers are certainly<br />
keeping aworried eye on the weather<br />
forecasts.<br />
Thatsaid, in my experience, Niwa’s<br />
seasonal outlooks have atrack recordof<br />
beingaboutasaccurate as predicting a<br />
coin toss.<br />

KAIKŌURA VIEWS<br />
MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE<br />
Shaping the next 10 years<br />
Kaikoura District Council’s LongTerm<br />
Plan (LTP) for <strong>2021</strong>–2031 is coming<br />
together.<br />
The draft consultation document will<br />
be adopted by the council this week to<br />
be sent to audit.<br />
Once approved, it will be out for<br />
public consultation in late May or June.<br />
Iammore than happy with what we<br />
are looking at over the next 10 years.<br />
If we stick to the plan outlined in the<br />
LTP and invest in our roads, footpaths,<br />
and the shorterterm District Plan, then<br />
we’re looking fairly sweet for the next<br />
10 years at least.<br />
We have essential infrastructure in<br />
place to support apopulation of 10,000<br />
so we don’t need to invest in big growthrelated<br />
projects, and because of all the<br />
work done since the earthquake we<br />
shouldn’t need any major renewal work<br />
until the 2060s.<br />
This is great news for the community,<br />
and Iwould like to personally thank<br />
everyone at the council for their mighty<br />
efforts.<br />
This is areal turnaround over the last<br />
18 months, considering what we have<br />
been through with the earthquake and<br />
Covid19, and the comments that as a<br />
council we were unsustainable.<br />

Our financial strategy shows our<br />
level of borrowing is lower than before<br />
the earthquake, and our overall<br />
financial position shows the council is<br />
in abetter place than it has been for<br />
some time.<br />
But we know Covid19 is affecting the<br />
community, so our daytoday budget is<br />
nofrills, and the proposed average<br />
rates increase over 10 years is 3.2%.<br />
Next year’s increase represents an<br />
average rates rise of 5.2%, but this will<br />
depend on the property you own.<br />
As well as investing in roads,<br />
footpaths and reviewing our very dated<br />
District Plan, we also have aproposal<br />
to begin rubbish collections in town,<br />
and we will be asking commercial<br />
ratepayers about their support for<br />
Destination Kaikoura.<br />
Alot of the work proposed addresses<br />
some of the main concerns raised in our<br />
recent residents’ satisfaction survey<br />
and general community feedback.<br />
We’re holding huis in town, Oaro and<br />
at Kekerengu in early June. So, tell us<br />
what you think.<br />
It’s your chance to see what we are<br />
planning for the next 10 years. Let us<br />
know if you agree, disagree or have<br />
different ideas.<br />
District buoyed by growth<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Growth is continuing in the<br />
southern endofthe Hurunui<br />
District.<br />
Council chief executive<br />
Hamish Dobbie saysAmberley<br />
is showing particularly strong<br />
growth, and there are few<br />
sparesectionsatWaikuku and<br />
Leithfield.<br />
‘‘We are seeing steady<br />
growth across the district,<br />
consistent with projections.’’<br />
Economically,the district is<br />
also holding its own.<br />
‘‘We heldupthroughthe<br />
earlytomiddle part of the<br />
Covid19 pandemic really well.<br />
But now we’re potentially<br />
starting to see some head<br />
wind,’’ he says.<br />
Dry conditions and the onset<br />
of winter could put the brakes<br />
on theagricultural economy.<br />
Mayor MarieBlacksays it is<br />
verydry, and it appearsthe<br />
districtcould be heading into<br />
winter without any substantial<br />
autumn rain.<br />
‘‘Getting winter crops to<br />
growisn’t withoutsome<br />
despair for our ruralfamilies.<br />
If we don’t get rain soonitwill<br />
be too late.<br />
‘‘Fortunately, there are good<br />
stores of winter feed such as<br />
hay and baleage,’’ she says.<br />
The goal posts keep shifting<br />
for an announcement on water<br />
reforms, Mrs Black says.<br />
The timelinefor an<br />
announcement by the<br />
Government was <strong>April</strong>.Itnow<br />
seems it mightbeAugust,with<br />
proposals taken out to<br />
communities by the endofthe<br />
year.<br />

would ensure consistency<br />
throughout New Zealand in<br />
drinking water regulations, the<br />

It was born out of conversations<br />
which began in 2018<br />
after about 200 young people<br />
turneduptoenrol at the<br />

HOWAMARVELHEALTH SCAN IS<br />
DESIGNEDFINDOUT THEHIDDEN<br />
CAUSE OF HEALTH PROBLEMS<br />
Gettingtothe root causeofany<br />
disease, especiallychronic diseases,<br />
requires examiningthe entire body<br />
becauseall theorgans andsystems<br />
areinterconnectedand work<br />
together.<br />
To illustrate, chronic diseases<br />
of thedigestive systemmay not<br />
necessarilystemfrom thestomach<br />
andintestines. Theymay arise<br />
from damagesinthe immune<br />
systemthatpromotes thegrowth<br />
of microbes whichinturncause<br />
inflammation anddiseasesofthe gut. A<br />
restriction of blood flowtothe stomach<br />
andintestinesdue to atherosclerosis<br />
couldalsoleadtogut problems.<br />
And then, thereare environmental<br />
factors that also causechronic digestive<br />
issues. Sensitivitytocertain foodsor<br />
even food additiveswhichare chemicals<br />
addedtoprocessedfoodsmay also<br />
causedigestive symptoms such as<br />
chronic stomach pain, bloating or even<br />
constipation.EvenNutrientdeficiencies<br />
such as lack of magnesium canbethe<br />
sole causeofchronic constipation.The<br />
mainstream healthcare systemgenerally<br />
assumesthatasymptom originatesfrom<br />
theassociatedorgan or region of the<br />
body, but this is notalwaysthe case.<br />

Pair explain the benefits of milking sheep<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Milking sheep is asmall but<br />
growing industry.<br />
While there are just five<br />
sheepmilking farmers in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>, Sheep Milk New<br />
Zealand managing director<br />
Matt Jones says there are<br />
another five planning to make<br />
the switch next season.<br />
‘‘We are very new to sheep<br />
milking in New Zealand and it’s<br />
been happening around the<br />
world for hundreds of years, so<br />
we’ve got alot to learn.<br />
‘‘It is the best milk and Ican<br />
argue that all day long. It is far<br />
superior to any other milk<br />
product on the market and our<br />
environmental footprint is<br />
significantly less than other<br />
producers of milk.’’<br />
Sheep Milk New Zealand was<br />
established for processors,<br />
industry people and farmers to<br />
come together and share<br />
knowledge, he said.<br />
Mr Jones and Sheep Milk<br />
New Zealand group<br />
marketing manager Virna<br />
Smith were at the South Island<br />
Agricultural Field Days last<br />
month to promote milking<br />
sheep.<br />
After 10 years of breeding<br />
sheep and importing genetics<br />
from Europe to develop abreed<br />
to handle South Island<br />
conditions, Mr Jones and his<br />
wife, Tracy, began milking their<br />
600ewe East Friesian flock two<br />
years ago.<br />
While sheep produce fewer<br />
litres of milk than their bovine<br />
counterparts, they produce<br />
double the number of milk<br />
solids, and the payout of $14.20<br />
per kilogram of milk solids is<br />
attractive, he says.<br />
‘‘There’s alot of scope. We<br />
can double or triple the<br />
production that our animals are<br />
doing through genetic gain.<br />
‘‘We are milking sheep that<br />
❛It is far superior to<br />
any other milk product<br />
on the market and our<br />
environmental footprint<br />
is significantly less than<br />
other producers of<br />
milk.❜<br />
—Matt Jones<br />
have come from dams that have<br />
done 180kg of milk solids in a<br />
lactation, while cows in New<br />
Zealand are only double that<br />
and the price is significantly<br />
more than than our bovine<br />
friends.<br />
‘‘It’s about milk solids and<br />
your farming practices, and<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> farmers are good at<br />
it.’’<br />
The Jones family farm is run<br />
just like adairy farm, with<br />
twiceaday milkings.<br />
The main difference is it is<br />
run as ‘‘a hybrid system’’, with<br />
all lambs, including the males,<br />
reared on farm, being finished<br />
on automatic lamb feeders.<br />
Ms Smith says ewes are<br />
producing 12 litres of milk per<br />
sheep per day over a200day<br />
lactation.<br />
The milk is pasteurised and<br />
made into cheese and yoghurt,<br />
as well as Sheep Milk New<br />
Zealand’s Sabelle range of skin<br />
and bodycare products.<br />
‘‘If you are lactose intolerant,<br />
your body can handle sheep<br />
milk,’’ Ms Smith says.<br />
‘‘It takes about 30 minutes for<br />
sheep milk to process through<br />
your body, so if you have any<br />
allergies or intolerances it<br />
won’t affect you.<br />
‘‘From sheep you get the<br />
milk, we make the cheese, we<br />
can make yoghurt and we will<br />
be looking at infant formula<br />
Milking it ... <strong>Canterbury</strong> farmer Matt Jones milks 600 sheep.<br />
down the track; and we have<br />
our skin and body care range.’’<br />
Sheep are ‘‘softer’’ on the<br />
environment compared to other<br />
farming systems, making them a<br />
viable option for farmers to<br />
consider in meeting their<br />
environmental requirements,<br />
Ms Smith says.<br />
Healthy alternative ... Sheep<br />
Milk New Zealand group<br />
marketing manager Virna Smith<br />
says there are plenty of benefits<br />
from drinking sheep’s milk.<br />

The Rangiora Hurunui Hares<br />
started their <strong>2021</strong> season in the Mid<br />
Week Women’s Division 1<br />
Competition with astrong win over<br />
Carlton Redcliffs at MainPower<br />
Turf in Rangiora.<br />
The team showed strong unity in<br />
its opening game, despite not being<br />
able to train together for much of<br />
the preseason because members<br />
are spread widely over <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>. Half the team trains in<br />
Culverden and the other half in<br />
Rangiora.<br />
Unfortunately, the Rangiora<br />
HurunuiHawks could not repeat<br />
the win first up in Division 3ofthe<br />
midweek competition, going down<br />
to HSOB Burnside.<br />
Rangiora’s Division 1men’s and<br />
women’s teams both played to 70<br />
scorelines, but it was only the men<br />
on the positive side of the ledger,<br />
beating HSOB Burnside.<br />
The Rangiora Colts earned their<br />
first points of the season with a<br />
hardfought win over University<br />
Apache in the Sunday Super<br />
League Championship,while the<br />
Rangiora 2women’s team suffered<br />
anarrow defeat to University<br />
Mayans in the SundaySuper<br />
League Premiership.<br />
Meanwhile, the Rangiora AMid<br />
Week Men dominated Southern<br />
United with a51 win, with Thomas<br />
Spall achieving ahattrick of goals.<br />
The Rangiora Allsorts Mid Week<br />
HOCKEY<br />

capitalise.The side was undone<br />

remarkable feat.<br />
Eddie ‘‘skipped’’ all the<br />
teams. Graham says that<br />
alone is incredible.<br />
Eddiealso won the Harry<br />
Denton Memorial Trophy<br />
for the most successful club<br />

Graham says it is fitting<br />
BOWLS<br />

conditions, the scoreline did not<br />
reflect the difference between<br />
the sides.NineteenofKaiapoi’s<br />
points came in generous periods<br />
of extratime in both halves.<br />
The game will alsobe<br />
remembered for the bizarre<br />
situation of bothteams locked<br />

Intoextra time,Kaiapoi broke<br />

The pitch at Loburn Domain<br />
provided players withthe perfect<br />
chance to showcase their talents.<br />
An entertaining matchresulted.<br />
While Ashley scored first,and<br />
at no stage allowedits rivals to<br />
get in front on the scoreboard,<br />
Woodendwas always athreat<br />
with its enterprising game plan,<br />
gainingaregular supply of ball,<br />
particularly from lineouts.<br />
Tom Stopforthand Andrew<br />
Proctorwere conspicuous on the<br />
burst in the Woodendpack,while<br />
Mikey Rhys showed the speedhe<br />
usuallydemonstrates on the wing<br />
with an eyecatching performance<br />
in the No. 6jersey.But the<br />
outstanding performer in the<br />
Woodendteamwas centre<br />
Jordan Swaine,himselfaformer<br />
Ashley player.<br />
He seemed to relish playing<br />
againstseveral former teammates<br />
and turnedinavirtuoso<br />
performance.Hemade some<br />
boneshaking tackles, was always<br />
athreatwith the ballinhand, and<br />
kicked goalsfrom all over the<br />
park, including two fromnear the<br />
halfwayline, while athird<br />
attemptfrom agreaterdistance<br />
bouncedback off the crossbar.<br />
He is arare talent.<br />
At halftime, Ashleyled 1813<br />
but in the third quarteritslowly<br />
asserted control on the back of a<br />
more cohesive team effort and a<br />
decidedly superior scrum.<br />
Jimmy Thiele turnedina<br />
playerofthedayperformance at<br />
lock and was stronglysupported<br />
by Ngaria WilsonBairds and<br />
Mike King.<br />
In the Ashley backline,<br />
halfback Blake Wellsby excelled,<br />
scoringtwo valuable tries,one of<br />
them when he caughtthe<br />
Woodenddefence nappingby<br />
taking aquicktap and darting<br />
over.<br />
Ashley eventually ran out the<br />
Going high ... Nick Inch clears the lineout ball for Oxford, playing in the redandblack strip.<br />
winners by 4324. This scoreline<br />
was inflated by two latetriesand<br />
does not reflectthe close contest.<br />

Saracens in close win<br />
CelebratingRichard<br />
Donaldson’s 100th game,Ohoka<br />
had good reason to front.<br />
However, it was Saracens that<br />
gainedthe earlymomentum with<br />
athreepoint lead.<br />
Ohoka soon learned the value<br />
of possession and aseries of<br />
strongcarries saw centre Blain<br />
O’Loughlincrossing the line.<br />
Saracens were equal to the<br />
task and were suitablyrewarded<br />
with atry to Matt Freeman.<br />
Apenalty to Ohokashortly<br />
after and both sides wenttothe<br />
break 10 apiece.<br />
Much likethe first half,the<br />
Saracens side was abletoput<br />
scoreboard pressure on the home<br />
side with atry to lock Jarimah<br />

With the home side up by 9<br />

two first podium placings in all of the<br />
2020<strong>2021</strong> jetsprint events.<br />
Gibbon has owned and built pleasure<br />
jet boats for himself since he was 12. He<br />
puts in long hours and his perseverance<br />
and dedication paid off with his<br />
championship win.<br />
Jetsprinting is more than ahobby for<br />
the owner and driver, who does most of<br />
the repairs, maintenance and<br />
development on the boat himself, while<br />
juggling family life with anational sales<br />
manager role for Pro Clima NZ Ltd.<br />
Candish, from Whanganui, owns her<br />
own jetsprint boat, which she drove and<br />
competed in before stepping into the<br />
navigation seat for the Novus Glass<br />
jetsprinting team.<br />
Donna and her husband, Nick, are<br />
instrumental in supporting the boat and<br />
team to perform on race day.<br />
Novus Glass is the main sponsor of the<br />
jetsprint boat, supporting Gibbon from<br />
the time he entered the sport seven<br />

years ago. This year, Novus Glass was<br />
the naming rights sponsor of the Wanaka<br />
Jetsprint track, which is the only track<br />
in the South Island.<br />
The event was held over Easter<br />
weekend, drawing nearly 8000<br />
spectators.<br />
“It would be fantastic to have more<br />
jetsprinting events in the South Island,<br />
where the sport originated, and to have<br />
more South Island racers,’’ Gibbon says.<br />
He plans to work on his <strong>2021</strong>20<strong>22</strong><br />
Group Ajetsprint campaign over the<br />
winter. He realises that, to keep ahead,<br />
he needs to keep refining and<br />
developing his jetsprint boat hull, jet<br />
unit and engine in the everelusive<br />
pursuit of more speed.

What’s happening in your<br />
community…<br />
Not Long Till Mainpower Stadium Opens<br />
It’s now just four months until MainPower Stadium<br />
opens its doors to the public.<br />
The main court area has seen adramatic<br />
transformation following the installation of<br />
acoustic panelling, hoops, scoreboards and the<br />
wooden floor for the four interior courts.<br />
Tiling, electrical and plumbing work is also well<br />
underway throughout the various offices, meeting<br />
rooms, bathrooms and gym areas. Outside, the<br />
exterior cladding is complete and timber soffits<br />
lined with beech are currently being installed.<br />
Construction of the eastern car park is also<br />
progressing well which will provide parking both<br />
for the Stadium and adjacent tennis courts.<br />
Attention now turns to the painting, interior fit-out<br />
and signage, with the contractor, Leighs, are on<br />
track to finish construction in July.<br />
MainPowerStadium willbemanaged by the<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Sport &RecreationTrust–who are<br />
already starting to receivebookingsfor thefacility.<br />
Changing Seasons<br />
It’s that time of year as we move into autumn<br />
and the oranges, reds and golds are creating a<br />
beautiful scene across the Waimakariri District.<br />
With the beauty, also comes the drop of leaves<br />
along footpaths and gutters of tree-lined streets.<br />
Street sweeping will ramp up in streets that have<br />
ahigh build-up of leaves and contractors may use<br />
blowers to get the verges and footpaths cleared of<br />
leaf fall when required.<br />
Residents can help out by removing leaves from<br />
outside their homes and putting them in their<br />
compost, green or red bin, and are encouraged to<br />
park vehicles off-street wherever possible during<br />
heavy leaf fall, so that the sweeper can access the<br />
leaves and do amore thorough job.<br />
During autumn, it’s impossible to maintain a<br />
leaf-free street as weather and wind can cause a<br />
mass drop. During windy conditions, leaves may<br />
build up again within hours of aclean. Streets will<br />
be monitored and additional sweeping rounds will<br />
be done where needed.<br />
Milk Carton Recycling toEnd<br />
Trees for <strong>Canterbury</strong> announced last week that a<br />
cardboard milk carton recycling scheme will end<br />
on 10 May, aer 30 years of using the cartons to<br />
grow over amillion native seedlings.<br />
The scheme is no longer financially viable for<br />
the group, as the collection bins oen get filled<br />
with rubbish or incorrect items, creating aheavy<br />
financial burden asthe lot has to go to the landfill.<br />
Collection bins at the Waimakariri Districts transfer<br />
stations will be removed on10May, and all milk<br />
cartons will need to go in the rubbish instead.<br />
As areminder Tetra Pak and other liquid cartons<br />
also go in the rubbish, as the lining that allows<br />
them to hold liquid is unable to be recycled the<br />
same way other cardboard items are.<br />
