‘‘The DeepFreeze blokes

As soon as Mike set eyes on the

Millions in budget for Lineside Rd
By DAVID HILL
Safety improvements are in the pipeline
for Rangiora’s Lineside Road.
Abudget of $16.64 million was set
aside in the draft 2021/31 Canterbury
Regional Land Transport Plan earlier
this year for Lineside Road, which
provides the State Highway 71 link
between Rangiora and SH1.
Aspokesperson for the New Zealand
Transport Agency’s ‘‘Road to Zero’’
safety team says, while it is still subject
to approval as part of the National Land
Transport and Regional Land Transport
planning processes, the proposed
project is centred around road safety.
‘‘The project is asafety system
transformation project, which means it
could include median barriers, side
barriers, safer intersections, and turnaround
points, to reduce the seriousness
of outcomes when crashes occur.’’
The project is still at the feasibility
stage and is scheduled to be completed
early next year.
Other Waimakariri projects in the
draft 2021/31 Canterbury Regional Land
Transport Plan include $11m towards
the proposed upgrade of Skew Bridge at
Silverstream, Kaiapoi, and $6.4m for
extra scoping work on State Highway 1
from the Ashley River to Belfast.
The Woodend Bypass is included as an
‘‘on the horizon’’ project, with the draft
plan noting that traffic volumes are
expected to double over the next 30
years because of arise in longdistance
traffic such as freight vehicles, and
residential developments.
Afourlane bypass is considered the
best option to improve capacity and
efficiency of traffic flow, improve road
safety, accessibility and liveability of
Woodend residents, and improve
connectivity for residents and
businesses in Woodend, Pegasus,
Kaiapoi and other local communities.
Waimakariri District Council chief
executive Jim Harland says the council
will continue to push for the Woodend
Bypass to move up the priority list.
‘‘The Woodend Bypass just hasn’t
profiled high enough compared to
projects in other parts of New Zealand,
but traffic flow is increasing so we just
need to keep the agency aware of it.
‘‘The government has allocated $14
billion to the National Land Transport
Fund over the next three years, which is
the highest it’s ever been, but there are
more competing projects and more
roads to be maintained.’’
Safety improvements have been made
around Woodend, with changes to speed
limits and the installation of crossing
signals outside Woodend School.
Further improvements are scheduled to
be announced soon, Mr Harland says.

Residents to help with trees
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Pockets of foresttobeestablishedin
Kaiapoi’s red zonewill get helpfrom a
groupofresidents from Rangiora’s
Charles Upham Retirement Village.
They will join volunteers in spring to
help plantand tend new natives on
Kaiapoi’s east side. Severalresidents
visited the red zone recently,where the
mini forestwill be nurtured.
The plantings are based on the work of
Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, who
has planted morethan 1000 forests in
Japan, Malaysia and elsewhere.

He had becomeacar enthusiast over
the years, and set about restoring the
Pontiac to its formerglory.
‘‘Walter Kinley rang me one day and
said he had something to show me,’’
Mike recalls.
Walterhad restored it but
immediately sold it to Christchurch car

Son Reuben Lilly was in cahoots with
the car yard, and when they knew Mike
was on his way in to look at the car, it
was taken off the lot. Staff had astory
concoctedtoexplain why it wasn’t there.
Reuben just had to have the vehicle he
had cruised around in as ayoung fellow.
He went before his dad, had alook, and
bought it for more than $40,000.

New chief ... Jim Harland is enjoying his new role as Waimakariri District Council chief executive.
PHOTO: DAVID HILL
Council culture impresses boss
By DAVID HILL
Jim Harland has enjoyed along and
varied career before taking on his
latest challenge.
The new Waimakariri District
Council chief executive stepped into
Jim Palmer’s shoes on March 31 after a
career in local government, tourism,
the private sector, and more recently
as the New Zealand Transport
Agency’s South Island relationships
director for 10 years.
Mr Harland comes from arural and
urban background. He was born in
Wairoa and spent holidays on the
family farm on the North Island’s east
coast. He moved to New York when he
was 10, living 30km north of
Manhattan.
His family later moved to
Christchurch, where Mr Harland
completed his schooling at
Christchurch Boys’ High School. He
then studied geography and town
planning at university.
After working in tourism and the
private sector, Mr Harland returned to
university to complete amasters
degree in planning.
He worked for the North Shore City
Council as its director of strategy and
policy, and then director of policy and
planning, before joining the Dunedin
City Council in 2000 as chief executive.
After 11 years in Dunedin, Mr
Harland joined the transport agency in
arole that allowed him to establish
relationships with councils throughout
the South Island, including
Waimakariri.
‘‘Because (NZTA) coinvests 52
percent into local roads, we have
strong relationships with councils, and
Isat on the regional transport
committees.
‘‘In terms of councils in the South
Island, I’ve worked with all of them
and Ican say there’s avery committed
workforce and areal commitment to
focus on what’s good for the customer.’’
Mr Harland was particularly
impressed with the culture at the
Waimakariri District Council and the
strength of its relationship with Ngai
Tuahuriri.
‘‘The councillors have all got arole
with portfolios and they rotate the
committee chair roles, so they’re all
engaged and there seems to be good
respect between the councillors.’’
His new role affords plenty of
challenges, with the projected
population growth in the Greater
Christchurch area, an ageing
population in Waimakariri, and the
impacts of climate change.
‘‘Work is being done with our
partners and there’s greater pressure
to avoid natural hazards in the face of
climate change and the need to reduce
our carbon footprint,’’ he says.
Part of the solution is more effective
public transport, safer options for
cycling and walking, and denser
suburbs, he says.
‘‘We have been working closely with
Environment Canterbury and the
Christchurch and Selwyn councils,
with the Christchurch 2050 vision being
worked on at the moment to determine
where that growth will go and the form
it will take.
‘‘So there will be abit of work in this
space and we are working with central
government.’’
Roading initiatives such as the
Woodend Bypass are very much apart
of the mix in managing future growth,
Mr Harland says.

Flyride consentstalls
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The brakeshave been put on developing
aflyride in Hanmer Springs —for now.
The HanmerSprings ThermalPools
and Spa has askedthe Hurunui District
Council for its application for aresource
consent to install and run the flyride to
be suspended until further notice.
It is proposed for the western face of
the Conical Hill Reserve.
Poolsgeneral manager GraemeAbbot
says detailed planning has shown some
poleswill havetobemoved because of
the topography.
‘‘That side of thehill is undulating.
Some of the poles need to be increased
in height, and more pines need to be cut
down than initially thought.’’
This,hesaid, is consideredabig
change whichcame to lightafterthe
consent application was lodged.
‘‘Theinformation on the consent was
not as accurate as we would like, so we
have put it on holduntil we haveall the
detail,’’ he says.
Once all the information is gathered,it
will be taken back to the community and
council officers, before the process
starts again.
Mr Abbot says the pause willnot put
the projectbehind or affectits funding.
The proposed flyride consists of a
cabletracksystem on seven poles. The
ride is providedintrolleyssuspended
from the cable track.The flyride
changes direction at each pole. Thereis
aplatform at the start and finish.
It is being fundedby$2.123m from the
government’s infrastructure funding
scheme and$123,000from the
Provincial GrowthFund.
Trying to overcome the red tape in
order to holditinHagley Park provedtoo
daunting, Mr Duggan said. Bringing the
salute to Rangiora received the support
of the local council and police.
Neighbours will be doorknocked to
make themawareofthe event, with the
salute timed for 3pm. Pamphlets will be
delivered to ensure noone is taken by
surprise.
The charge in the rounds has been
reducedtoensure the shotsare not too
loud, Mr Duggansays.
There will be 21 roundsfired, withan
extra sevenbeingconsidered.
Enthusiasts will get the chance to take
part by sponsoringaroundfor $100, and

6.30pm in the Rangiora Town Hallmain

Ivalue how important it is for our
residents to be abletobring their
questions directly to the board and it is
greatthat the new chief executive Peter
Bramley has accepted my invitation to
attend this publicmeeting.
Peterwill update us on progress on
building our sevenday, afterhours
facility, andwill be on hand to answer
questions from those attending.
At my last publicmeetingonhealth,
residents Sandi andDavidMcLean
presentedthe community’s petition to the

successfully resulted in acommitment by
the board to provide this community
service. Bringyour questions, and let’s

Theimpact for these residents, and for

After Westpac Bank rangmetotell me

MinisterGrant Robertson,requesting
that Kaiapoibeincludedasapilot

announced last year.
In the hubs, different banks are colocated
in one shoptokeep costsdown.
It’s away of ensuring banking services
arestillavailable in smalltowns as we
seeeverincreasing numbers of branches
being closed in rural areas.
Ibelieve Kaiapoi would be an
appropriate location to trial one of these
hubs.

The Rangiora Racecourse quarry
hearing has been adjourned afterthe
hearing of evidence.
The hearing of resourceconsents
before two independent commissioners
on behalf of Environment Canterbury
and the Waimakariri District Council
was adjourned late last Monday.
It followed five days of evidence from
the applicantTaggart Earthmoving Ltd,
EnvironmentCanterbury, the
Waimakariri District Council, experts
and submitters.
Commission chairman Paul Rogers
said on May 11 that the applicanthad 15
working days to exerciseits right of
reply.
The commissioners denied hearing
any further evidence from the applicant,
saying the application had been ‘‘live’’
for aconsiderable time.
‘‘Requesting further information
wouldhave the effect of further
elongatinganalready long process.
‘‘Allparticipants would need to
commit further timeand resources.’’
Whilecounciland hearing costscould
be recovered from the applicant,
submitters couldnot do so. Already,
submitters have expendedsubstantial
resources on the process, he said.
Submitters willhave achance to

SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
14 North Canterbury News, May 20, 2021
Open evening achance to chat with teachers
By DAVID HILL
Kaiapoi High School is looking
forward to hosting an open
night again.
Principal Bruce Kearney
says it will be good to welcome
prospective parents to the
school on Tuesday next week,
after last year’s open night was
cancelled because of Covid19.
‘‘It’s awesome to be able to do
the open night again. However,
it was also really nice not doing
them,’’ he says.
‘‘We had our largest cohort of
year 9s ever this year and we
didn’t have the open night, so it
really makes no difference for
us.
‘‘When we thought about it,
we came to the conclusion that
the students have been here for
school productions and other
events, but many of our new
parents would never have
stepped foot on our school
grounds or not been here since
the rebuild, so we are really
doing it for the parents.’’
Mr Kearney said the year 8
parents from contributing
schools were surveyed and
around 70 percent preferred
the event being held in the
evening, rather than during the
day when the school is in
session.
‘‘An open day during the day
is like going to the zoo. You get
to see the school in action, but
our parents wouldn’t get the
chance to engage and talk with
our teachers.’’
The school’s PTA will also be
doing asausage sizzle on the
night, allowing prospective
parents to chat with other
parents about their
experiences.
‘‘High schools are very
different from primary schools.
There is an expectation from
students that their parents drop
them off at the gate and don’t
come in unless you have a
Porsche.
‘‘The open night gives
everybody in the family the
ability to see our school. It’s
probably more for the parents,
if they haven’t been here
before, to see the school where
they are sending their young
people,’’ Mr Kearney says.
The open night is just one
step in the journey to prepare
year 8pupils for their
transition to high school.
The first step was adeputy
principal, two head students
and two year 9pupils visiting
each of the contributing schools
to talk to year 8s about going to
high school.
Later in the year, Mr Kearney
will visit each of the
contributing schools with two
head students for an evening
meeting with parents over
coffee and cake.
‘‘This is an opportunity for
parents to ask all of those curly
questions like bullying, drugs,
uniform, BYOD (bring your own
devices). Everything is on the
table and that’s my favourite
part of the process.
‘‘They key thing with bullying
is if you go to an open night and
someone says ‘there’s no
bullying’, walk away and go to
New facility ... Kaiapoi High School principal Bruce Kearney, right, spoke at the unveiling of the school’s
new gymnasium in 2019. The school has undergone asubstantial rebuild in recent years, with agrowing roll
likely to trigger the second stage of its redevelopment soon.

another school.
‘‘With 953 students you are
going to have some bullying, so
it’s not about the bullying, it’s
how you deal with it.’’
The next stage is Kaiapoi
High School teachers visiting
the contributing schools to talk
to parents, pupils and their
teacher ‘‘to find out how the
student learns’’.
The year 8pupils will then
visit the school for an
experience day before the end
of the school year.
Next year, the new year 9
parents are invited to awine
and cheese evening to meet the
teachers.
This year, arecord 270 year 9
pupils started at Kaiapoi High
School, lifting the school roll
past 950, which should be
enough to trigger the second
stage in the school’s
redevelopment plan.
The school has capacity for
1100, but it will not be long until
the roll passes 1000, Mr

Open-day sessions
sure to be popular
By DAVID HILL
Rangiora High School is looking
forward to hosting families at the
school, after last year’s open days
were cancelled because of Covid19.
The school will host three days of
open days beginning on Friday, May
27, and continuing the following
Monday and Tuesday.
Deputy principal Scott Wright says
there are normally between 350 and
370 year 9pupils starting at the school
each year, so he expects abusy few
days.
‘‘We will probably get around 320
appointments across the different
time slots and they will probably bring
two, three or four family members.
‘‘We have to do abooking system
because otherwise we would have too
many at once, and we need to allocate
the right number of year 13 guides for
each group.’’
Family groups will be welcomed by
three members of the Transition Lead
Team in the hall, before heading off on
atour around the school with student
guides. ‘‘We invite them back to the
hall for any questions at the end.’’
The guided tours offer prospective
students and their families the chance
to view the classes in action, view
displays of student work, and provide
the opportunity to chat and ask
questions.
While last year’s open days were
cancelled because of Covid19, Mr
Wright says the feedback from this
year’s year 9students is that they
would have liked the chance to view
the school to ease the transition.
‘‘And it’s always good for parents to
see the school. It’s like putting aface
to names. Alot of parents came here as
students and Ilike meeting them
because my own kids come here too,
and it’s agreat place.’’
Rangiora High School has aroll of
nearly 1700, making it the largest in
North Canterbury.
‘‘The great advantage of being abig
school is you can offer awide range of
subjects and extra curricular
activities, sports and cultural events,’’
Mr Wright says.
‘‘For example, we have 82 students
participating in Show Quest this week,
which is ahuge opportunity, and
whether it’s music, farming, metal
work, canoe polo, or chess club,
there’s always someone here with a
plan to run with it, or we can usually
find someone if there is student
interest in something new.’’

High School open day session online

School offers flexible
visiting arrangements
By DAVID HILL
Flexibility is the key as Oxford Area
School goes through student
recruitment.
While the school is not running open
days as such, enquiries from
prospective parents are welcome, acting
principal Sharyn Varcoe says.
‘‘We are not running open days as such
this year, but we have an open invitation
for prospective parents and students to
make abooking to come and view the
school.
‘‘They can come when the school is
operational if that works for them and
chat with our head students or they can
come in after school. We are keeping it
very flexible. We are very conscious
parents are busy people.’’
Being ayear 113 school, Oxford Area
School has areal mix when it comes to
prospective students, including new
entrants which can start at any time of
the year, year 8s from contributing
schools, and families who move to the
area, Ms Varcoe says.
‘‘Most of our year 8s at school follow
into year 9, so they already know the
school, but we do have our contributing
schools and there is movement within
the district.
‘‘We are certainly seeing more and
more students starting in year 9with us,
which is really exciting to see.
‘‘We are sitting at 55 year9 pupils this
year, which is small compared to some
schools, but it’s large for us.
‘‘We had ayear 11 pupil enrol at the
school this year, having moved down
from the North Island,’’ she said.
Around onethird of this year’s year 9s
are new to the school.
Ms Varcoe says the school is enjoying
abusy time, as pupils and staff gear up
for the school production of The Snow
White Variety Show,which will be
performed in the Oxford Town Hall from
May 26 to 29.
Year 1to3pupils recently visited
Orana Park as park of their animal
movement studies, while year 3and year
7/8 girls recently learned self defence.
Other events in coming weeks will
include the school cross country.
The school council is running aPink
Shirt Day tomorrow (Friday) and is
holding aGumboot Day on Friday, May
28.
‘‘It involves the whole school and is
studentrun by the school council, so it is
an awesome leadership opportunity,’’
Ms Varcoe says.
The new year 9/10 ‘‘connected
learning’’ programme is also working
well, she says, with agroup of pupils
about to take awater quality field trip.
Pupils on the ‘‘Earth to the Moon’’
connected course will have afield trip
later this term, which will involve an
evening at the school’s observatory.
While English and maths continue to
be taught as normal, the new ‘‘connected
learning’’ courses are centred around
project learning, in which pupils can
follow their passions.

Ramblers step up
to support cause
By SHELLEY TOPP
The SouthernCochlear Implant
Programme hasreceived a$2500 donation
thankstothosewho entered this year’s
AshleyRiver Ramble.
Rangiora’sannual ramble, organised by
the Rangiora LionsClub, was cancelled
with just 12 hours’ noticeearlier thisyear
because of Covid19 restrictions.
The programme, which provides
cochlear implant technologyand support
to those withsevere or profound hearing
loss, was the nominated charity.
Participants were told the event could
not be rescheduled, and were offered two
options —arefund, or the donation of
their ticket pricetothe programme.
Most chosetodonate,and the Rangiora
Lions Club was able to source extra funds
through aspecialLions Mint grant
provided for Covidaffected events to
make up the $2500 donation.
AshleyRiver Ramblecoordinator
Kirstyn Barnett saidshe was blown away
by the generosity. “After the
disappointment of the cancellation, our
team was delighted that we couldstill
contribute to such agreatprogramme.
‘‘Itisheartening to live in this
community,wherepeople genuinely care
and want to help others,” she said.
Programmechief executive Neil Heslop
saidthe significant and unexpected
contribution was much appreciated.
“Thecharitable sector has been greatly
impacted by Covid19, as fundraising
efforts have been impeded by reduced
incomes and cancelled events,’’ he said.
He said the programme was grateful to
those who chose to support it, regardless
of the cancelled fun run.
‘‘The fundsraisedwill helpusto
continue providing cochlear implants to
those in need —reconnectingNew
Zealanders to the world of sound.”
RangioraLionsClub president Tini
Lawry said she was proud of herteam for
achieving the result,despitethe
challenges. “The fact that all these
supporters donatedtheirentry fee was a
signthat we had indeed chosen avery
worthwhile recipient of this annual
event’s proceeds and Rangiora Lions
didn’t hesitate to lookfor ways to make up
for the potential gate takings on the day.”

dark and mysterious, with
dreams and nightmares, or
produce something totally
unique for the open category.
Adults can have fun with
geometrics, or see where their
creativity takes them for the
open category.

families —oradult teams —to
shine brightly in the Light it Up
category.

Buoyant ... Oxford businesses are said to be ticking along nicely, with weekends especially busy.
Weekends busy in
buoyant Oxford
By DAVID HILL
Oxford is abusy littletown,says OxfordbasedWaimakaririDistrict
councillor
WendyDoody.
She saysrecent weeks have seenmany
visitors venture out to the town, especially
during the weekends.
‘‘Sundaysare verybusy.Everybody
seemstobecomingout of the woodwork.
People like to come up and go and have
something to eat and drinkand shop
around, whichissuper. The businesses
seem to be ticking along nicely and the
food ones are doingwell.’’
Traffic volumes have created some
concernsaround speed and pedestrian
safety, especially for children crossing
Main Street on their way to school.
The Waimakariri District Council has
received asubmissionfrom alocal group
calling for reduced speed limits.
‘‘It’s not an easy thingtodobecause
there’s aprocesstowork through, but it’s
something the council needs to look at,’’Cr
Doodysays.
To help the process, Cr Doody hasspent
afew mornings on Main Streettoobserve
the traffic and check on the safety of
children walking to school.
‘‘I asked the childrenifthey were
comfortablecrossing the road and they
were,but oneofthe fathers did say there
was aproblem withsunstrike, whichcan
be really serious,’’ she says.
Cr Doody hasbeen usingacounter to get
asnapshot of speedsonMain Street and
has found,for the times she has been
observing, the average speedhas been
47kmh so far.
‘‘I will be goingbackand doing another
coupleofdays to get somemore
information,and particularly on aFriday
afternoon outside the supermarket,
because it’s manicaroundthere.
‘‘I wouldlike to see some residents take
aturn just to standthere for halfanhour
and make surethe children are safe.
‘‘Onceyou are standing there with ahiviz
vest on, they stop and takenotice.’’
She planstohand the dataover to
council staff to help them to makea
recommendationtothe OxfordOhoka
CommunityBoard, and to councillors.
The Ashley Gorge AdvisoryBoardhas
made asubmission to the council for an
electriccooker to be placed in the reserve,
as an alternative to lighting fires. Half the
required fundshave already beenraised.
‘‘Theyask for very little. They are ahard
working group,sohopefully we can
support them,’’ Cr Doody says.
The board has already developed
several tracks, and work is underway on a
new 5km trail up to the ridge line.
Acounter on site found that, from
NovembertoMarch, nearly6000people
walkedthe tracks.

Experienced Podiatrist;

www.northcanterburypodiatry.co.nz
As aselfconfessed ‘‘shoe nerd’’, it was
not surprising that Erin Marsden chose
podiatry for acareer.
Erin has been apodiatrist since 2005,
and in January last year she opened her
own business in Rangiora, North
Canterbury Podiatry. She also has a
clinic in Oxford.
In Rangiora, Erin has rooms upstairs
in the Gables Arcade, where there is a
lift for clients, and she is open on
Tuesdays (including early evening),
Thursdays and Fridays.
In Oxford, she works from the new
Business Hub at 4Rata Street, and is
available every Monday, Wednesday,
and alternate Monday evenings.
Erin was born Kalbarri, north of Perth,
in Australia. She moved to New Zealand
in May 2010 to alifestyle block at Burnt
Hill, near Oxford, with her Kiwi husband
Dan, who was born in Christchurch.
The couple have two young daughters.
Before opening her business, Erin
worked for other podiatrists in
Riccarton.
She is ACC and War Veteranregistered,
as well as Pegasus Health
and Waitaha Primary Health Careregistered
for eligible people with
diabetes.
Erin says the Waimakariri district has
been short of podiatrists for many years
and, since establishing her business, she
has been kept ‘‘pleasantly busy but not
so busy that most people cannot get an
appointment within aweek’’.
She is grateful for the support she has
received since establishing her business
and believes the central location and
parking accessibility of both her clinics
in Oxford and Rangiora are abig help to
clients.
Erin says the best part of her job is
when a‘‘simple fix’’ can create such big
change in keeping people moving.
‘‘That is very rewarding,’’ she says.
Erin also says that for most types of

Crane ruled out for
last stages of canopy
Work on the 110metre
rockfall canopy between
Peketa and the Parititahi
Tunnels, south of
Kaikoura, is expected to
finish in midJune.
Because of the shape of
the hillside, a44metre
zone in the north section
sits higher, and this
height, combined with the
weight of the mesh,
means the loader crane
cannot be used to help
install the mesh.
Instead, an abseiling
team will drape and
tension it manually,
slowing the pace of the
installation.
The existing timetable
for the opening and
closing of the road, with
the exception of Queen’s
Birthday weekend, will
continue, with daytime
delays and set times to
clear traffic.
However, work is still
expected to wrap up in
midJune, subject to
weather.
The 30minute daytime
delays (Monday to Friday,
9am to 5pm) will continue
until midJune, with the
addition of three set
times where the queues
will be cleared
throughout the day to
allow the community to
plan their journeys.
These times will be:
10:30am: Northbound
queue cleared first, then
south;
12:30pm: Northbound
queue cleared first, then
south;
3:30pm: Southbound
queue cleared first, then
north.
Demanding work ... The
project is expected to be
finished in midJune.
Uphill battle ... The work
requires an abseiling team.
Painstaking task ... Some
of the mesh installation will
have to be done without the
assistance of acrane.

They’re ascream
... The Addams
Family took
centre stage in
the Kaiapoi High
School
auditorium in the
school’s latest
production.
PHOTO: FILE
Yes folks, Wednesday is
approaching Thursday
By DAVIDHILL
Deep in the heart of New York’s Central
Park lives an almost normal American
family.
But, as Wednesday Addams —Leane
Visser’s character in Kaiapoi High
School's production of The Addams
Family —observes, what is normal
anyway?
Directed by acclaimed North
Canterbury director Paul Johnson, the
hilarious musical comedy’s portrayal of
20thcentury American family life,
dragged kicking and screaming into the
21st century, had the audience roaring
with laughter from the opening note.
The familiar theme song was joined by
ahand appearing through the curtains
in the role of ‘‘Thing’’.
The curtains were eventually pulled
back to reveal the Addams family in all
their splendour, in the family graveyard
—and the Addams family ancestors even
rose from their graves to sing and dance
and to help guide the story.
Gomez and Morticia Addams, played
by Lachie SmithTaumata and Ruby
Collier respecitvely, seem the perfect
couple, while Wednesday is handy with a
crossbow and enjoys bringing something
home for dinner.
The couple's son, Pugsley, played by
Lee Pockson, loves to blow things up,
while Uncle Fester, played by Gigi
REVIEW
Jones, seems your average eccentric
uncle. Grandma Addams (Rhian
Campbell) appears to be your kindly
grandmother and Lurch (Wolf Pene) the
butler, well, he’s just Lurch.
All seems kind of normal, but then
their lives are disrupted when
Wednesday announces afriend and his
parents are coming for dinner.
Morticia dismisses it as puppy love,
while Gomez realises, “Wednesday is
growing up so fast, before we know it,
she’ll be Thursday”.
Wednesday confides in her father that
she is already engaged to Lucas Bieneke,
played by Josh Smith, but don’t tell mum
until after dinner or she’ll ruin it with all
her questions and judgment.
The Bienekes, it transpires, come from
Ohio. For Gomez, this creates amoral
dilemma, because there are two things
he would never do —lie to his daughter
and lie to his wife.
As for poor Pugsley, who will torture
him now?
Well done to the cast, who were ideally
suited to their respective parts, and left
the audience in raptures with their
constant and welltimed gags.
Once again, Kaiapoi High School has
pulled off an outstanding stage show.

Initiatives to get winter grazing right
Farmers preparing to graze livestock on
fodder crops this winter are encouraged
to use anew checklist and other
practical resources available from
various sector organisations.
The farming sector is focused on
improving winter grazing and
eliminating practices that affect the
environment and animal welfare.
Anew wintering checklist and winter
grazing plans designed to help farmers
make practical written plans for winter
are now available from industry bodies
DairyNZ, Beef and Lamb New Zealand
(BLNZ) and Federated Farmers.

Acomprehensive winter grazing plan
is also available through the Ministry for
Primary Industries (MPI).
Plans are recommended to support
good management and farmers can use
either an industry or MPI plan.
DairyNZ farm performance general
manager Sharon Morrell encourages
farmers to make use of the new
resources, as it helps take the right steps
in continuing to lift winter grazing
standards.
‘‘Planning for winter and wet weather
now is important to deliver good
outcomes when adverse weather
arrives.
‘‘Farmers will begin moving stock on
to crops in the next few weeks, so now is
the critical time to ensure all plans are
in place for the months ahead.
‘‘We are all committed to lifting winter
grazing performance, and using a
wintering checklist and practical plan
helps farmers and graziers to do that.’’
The new wintering checklist helps
farmers assess whether they are
prepared for winter and highlight any
potential gaps.
The checklist is supported by other
new initiatives, such as webinars,
workshops and regular information
from industry bodies collaborating on
advice to farmers to ensure it is coordinated
and consistent.
The advice is in line with new
guidelines recently released by MPI.
‘‘We all want to see the sector perform
well this winter, with farmers and
graziers making good calls during each
phase, from planning through to wet
weather management,’’ BLNZ North
Island general manager Corina Jordan
says.
Being prepared for winter ... Planning for winter and wet weather now is important to
deliver good outcomes when adverse weather arrives.
In addition, DairyNZ’s new winter
grazing plan provides stepbystep
strategies for paddock setup and
grazing management for immediate
focus this winter.
This includes protecting critical
source areas and waterways, bale
placement, back fencing, and having a
wetweather contingency plan.
BLNZ will also be delivering aseries
of winter grazing workshops around the
country.
Ajoint BLNZ and DairyNZ webinar is
taking place this evening (Thursday)
between 7pm and 8pm to help farmers
understand the key risks when
undertaking winter grazing, and
management tools to help mitigate the
risks.
The sector has also recently launched
awintering hotline for any concerns or
complaints.
If anyone sees something that doesn’t
look right, they can call the wintering
hotline on 0800 FARMING.
The hotline is supported by Federated
Farmers, BLNZ and DairyNZ and calls
are confidential.

Agood base is crucial in building tracks
Agood track is constructed in
layers. Afoundationorbase layer

wearing layer is formed on top.
The base layer provides the
structural support for the surface
layer.Ifitisweak, the surface
layer may break up and collapse,
while water can penetrate into
the baselayer, forcing it to lose
its strengthand develop
potholes.
The surfacelayer has two

the structuralintegrity of the

Each layershouldbe

rollers. Loose, open layers have
much lessstrengththan wellconsolidated
ones.
Cow trafficdoes not provide an
adequate substitute for
mechanical compaction.
Topsoil and grassare not
suitable for use in the base layer
and shouldberemovedbefore
construction begins.
The base should be madeupof
layers, each up to 150mm deep.
Aftereach 150mm layerislaid,it
should be firmly compacted
before the next is added.
Possiblematerials for the base

If the material available does
not create asatisfactory
foundation, it is possibletouse a
‘‘geotextile’’— an industrial
fabric used in earthworksto
coverthe shaped base layer
before adding the surface layer.
Geotextiles allow watertopass

Wendy’strials bring her joy
By DAVID HILL
Oxford dog triallist Wendy Dalziel has
been working with dogs most of her life.
The Lees Valley shepherd is competing
in the Tux South Island and New Zealand
2021 dog trial championships in Southland
this week.
‘‘Dog trials are ahighlight on the event
calendar for me each year,’’ she says.
‘‘I have competed at different clubs all
over New Zealand and each one presents
its own challenges.’’
Wendy first got into dog trialling as a
youngster growing up in Waikari.
‘‘Graeme Low was judging on the long
head and said he couldn’t close the course
because he was waiting on me to get off the
school bus to have my run,’’ she recalls.
After time away in the North Island, she
returned to farming and shepherding in
2007, and soon found her way back on to the
competition circuit.
‘‘I trained up anew team and have
managed to qualify adog for the nationals
each year since.
‘‘Dog trialling is an enjoyable way to
challenge yourself and your dog away from
the pressures of the work environment.
‘‘I pride myself in qualifying aheading
dog and huntaway because, at home, with
general farm work, it is all about having a
balanced team.
‘‘The farm is essentially my training
ground. It keeps the dogs fit,
fundamentally refining their skills, and
mine.’’
Dog trialling is also asocial sport as ‘‘you
always learn something, bump into
someone you know, and Ithink it’s great to
see younger generations stepping up to
have ago’’.
‘‘Whether you are competing, judging,
bookkeeping or observing, everyone plays
their part and Iamgenuinely lucky to be
involved in all of those aspects.’’
At work... Oxford dog triallistWendyDalziel enjoys getting out with her dogs.

Saracens triumph in emphatic fashion
By LINDSAY KERR, PETER WILLIAMS
and DAYLE SUTHERLAND
Saracens’ 4220victoryover
GlenmarkCheviot in North
Canterbury rugbyonSaturday
not onlyconfirmed the side’s topofthetable
status,but alsohad
olderclub members suggesting
the winningmargin was arecord.
Meanwhile,Kaiapoiwithstood
aherculean effort from bottomofthetable
Woodend to keepits
second place on the ladder,
before emerging with a3629
victory.
Aftersix rounds, Saracens
leadsthe table with 27 points.
Kaiapoi is on 24, Glenmark
Cheviot18, Oxford14, Ohoka 14,
Hurunui 10, Ashley 8, and
Woodend 4.
Traditional strip
The Saracens clash against
GlenmarkCheviot wasplayed at
Cheviottocelebrate the Cheviot
club’s 125 years. The combined
team wore the traditional black
and white strip.
The opening quarter revealed
little of whatwas coming.
Both teams traded penalties
through Ricky Allin and Brook
Retallick,and with Glenmark
Cheviotonhot attack, atry
seemed imminent.
That was untilSaracens seized
on amistake and an ensuing
attack saw the ball transfer
between three pairsofhands
before centre Hadrian Jackson
dotted down.
The try boughtaboutachange
of face and momentum. The
home teamnever recovered,
whileSaracens grewin
confidence.
Before halftime, Saracens
continued to hammer the
defence.
With GlenmarkCheviot’s
inspirational captainBen
Anderson confinedtothe bin,
Saracens crossed twice, onlyto
be heldupbyadesperate
defence.
However, the boot of Allin
addedtothe scoreand Saracens
went to the break withahandy
226 advantage.
Any thought of aGlenmark
Cheviotresurgence never
occurred and Allin continued to
punish the side for anyerrors.
Apenaltywas followedbya
converted try and apushovertry.
The marginwith 20 minutes left
extended to 376.
With timerunning out,
GlenmarkCheviot finally
secured goodball and Anderson
was rumbled overthe line.
Fullback Toby Ashby scored
Saracens’ fourth try before
hooker Ben O’Carroll helpedthe
pain for GlenmarkCheviot,
scoring in thelast movement of
the game.
Heading the Saracens effort
was the performance of its
outsidebacks. NikoraJarvis,
Hadrian Jackson and Harry
Murray alwayslookedfor work
and showedconsiderableskill
and speed when givenhalf a
chance.
Scoreboard: Saracens 42 (Slade
Day, Josh Maynard, Hadrian
Jackson, Toby Ashbytries. Ricky
Allin6penaltiesand 2
conversions) beat Glenmark
Cheviot 20 (Ben Anderson, Ben
O’Carroll tries. Brook Retallick 2
penalties,2conversions).
Tightcontest
Woodend showedonce again it
is certainlynot in the Luisetti
SeedsDivision1competition to
make up thenumbers.
It came within awhiskerof
upsetting the highly rated
Kaiapoi side.
The scoreswere tied 29all
when the clock ticked over 80
minutes, and it was deep into
injury time whenthe Kaiapoi
forwards wererewarded when
replacementlock Brennan Kara
was propelledover the line for
the try that won the match.
It was obvious that Woodend
had come to play whenJordan
Swaine rackedup10points from
apenalty, atry and aconversion
—all in the first seven minutes.
Kaiapoi foughtback and
showed snippets of its undoubted
ability, scoring three firsthalf
tries, twoofthem to Crusaders
squadmember Josh McKay, who
recently announced he had
signed withthe Scottish club
Glasgow Warriors, and wouldbe
moving there after playing for
Canterbury in the Bunnings NPC.
As one of the Kaiapoi players
admitted after the match: “We
were our own worst enemy.’’
It was an errorridden
performance from Kaiapoi,
Off he goes ... Toby Ashby sets offfor atry for Saracensinits win overGlenmarkCheviot.
especially in the firsthalf, with
many loosepassesbeing thrown
and aconstant stream of
infringements helping to keep
Woodend in the game,asSwaine
showed the ability to land goals
from all over the park. He landed
5penalties in all.
The scoreswere 19all at half
time and it seemed Kaiapoi was
startingtogain the upper hand,
especially in setpieces.The
game was turnedonits ear in the
71st minute whenWoodend’s
firstfive Keynan Smithlatched
on to another poor Kaiapoipass
inside Woodend’s 22 metreline
and showed plenty of toe. He was
cut downbythe cover defence
near the tryline butmanaged to
get apass to ConnorSwaine, who
completed aspectacular try.
Brother Jordan’sconversion
gave Woodend a3point lead.
The thought of the Woodend
presidentclearingaspace forthe
DeansShield in its trophy
cabinet was enoughtoconvince
Kaiapoi captain JacobHurringto
opt for ashot at goal when the
side was awarded apenalty right
in frontwith time running out.
TaineJacobsLawson landed the
pressure kick to tie the scores,
and Kaiapoi still had time to
surgeback on attack andapply
the killer blow.
For Kaiapoi,skipper Hurring
was fullofendeavour and was
rewardedwith twotries,but most
present would acknowledge the
outstandingeffortofthe whole
Woodend team, which simply
refusedtolie down.
Mikey Rhys and captain Dan
Devlin led the way in the
forwards and Jordan Swaine was
an everpresentthreat.
Scoreboard: Kaiapoi36(McKay
(2),Hurring (2) Kara tries, Jacobs
Lawson 1penalty, 4conversions)
beatWoodend 29 (Jordan
Swaine,ConnorSwaine tries,
Jordan Swaine 5penaltiesand 2
conversions).
Hurunui prevails
Hurunui had the better of the
second half against Ashley and
camefrom behindtowin 2013.
Hurunui usedits benchwisely,
withimpact players who would
normally havestarted but had
beenforcedtosit it out because
of anopractice,nostart policy —
university graduations wereno
excuse.
Gus Waghorn was Hurunui’s
player of the day.
Ashley’s error rate in the
second half stifled its secondspell
performance.

By DAVID HILL
Annabelle and Georgie Stalkerare the
sixth generation on theirfamily’s
Waimakariri farm.
The girl’s father, Richard Stalker, is
joining dozens of otherlocalfarmersina
projectfunded by the Ministryfor Primary
Industries to assist the future of farming
under new regulations.
The initiativeispart of athreeyear,

The $700,000project receives 60 percent
support under the ministry’s sustainable
foodand fibrefuturesfund and is led by
the Waimakariri Landcare Trust,formerly
the Next GenerationFarmers.
Trust chairman and fifthgeneration
dairy farmer Sam SpencerBower says it is
an opportunity to investigate practical
solutions that balance farm profitability
and environmental sustainability.
‘‘Waimakaririfarmers facesignificant
water, environmental and sustainability
challenges,’’ he says.
‘‘Environmental stewardship is already
partofour daily operations. It is part of our
social licenceand responsibility as
caretakersofthe land.
‘‘Weare bringingthe farming sector
togethertoinvestigate and test new onfarmpracticesand
tools to help farmers
continue reducing environmental risk,
while still remaining profitable so they can

Farmer confidence and farmviability
playakey role in achievingenvironmental
improvement, he says.
‘‘There are lots of fancy ideas out there
but theyneed to be practicaland proven, to
givefarmers the confidence to invest in
them. We are seriousabout makinga

For Mr Stalker, adairy farmer,the

“It’s an indescribable feeling to know that your child can hear you”
When Renee Cain learned her son
was born profoundly deaf she was in
shock. It was 2016, and little Jackson
was only days old when he was given
a hearing test that all new babies
receive, but his results weren’t what
they’d hoped for.
Renee says it took quite a while for
the news to sink in, and it was heartwrenching
when it did.
“We tried hearing aids and we
thought he could hear things, like
doors banging, but they weren’t
working at all,” says Renee, who lives
in Rangiora.
With a lot of support and information,
Renee decided that cochlear implants
were the right option for Jackson and
their family. A cochlear implant is a
surgically-implanted electronic device
that restores hearing for those with

profound hearing loss.
At six-months-old
Jackson underwent
surgery to have the
implants fitted.
The surgery was
arranged by
the Southern
Cochlear
Implant
Programme
(SCIP) in
Christchurch.
Renee
remembers when
her little boy could
finally hear her voice.
“His face lit up and
he had a big smile when I
spoke. It brought tears to my eyes,”
she says.
Registration from 8am
“It’s an indescribable
feeling to know that
your child can hear
you. When he heard
sounds for the first
time he had a look
of amazement on
his face.”
Jackson, now
four, will start
at Southbrook
School in
Rangiora later this
year.
“I never knew about
cochlear implants
until I was in this
situation,” says Renee.
Following a speaker from SCIP coming
to talk to members the Rangiora Lions
Club decided to nominate SCIP as the
cause for the Ashley River Ramble
2021.
This is the 5th year of the Ramble,
with previous recipients including Koru
Care, Diabetes NZ and the Ashley-
Rakahuri Rivercare group. The event
evolved out of the Lions Club Rangiora
- Kaiapoi Fun Run, and provides a
relaxed family friendly event with great
scenery of the river which is home to

“It’s amazing what technology can do.”
Established in 2003, SCIP is one of
two cochlear implant providers in
New Zealand.
The not-for-profit organisation
currently provides care to more than
950 adults and children throughout
the South Island and as far north as
Taupo. Its offices in Christchurch
and Wellington are complimented by
regular visiting clinics throughout the
catchment area.
SCIP performs all cochlear implant
assessments, arranges surgery,
activates the cochlear implant,
administers adjustments and provides
post-implant rehabilitation services.

ARR coordinator Kirstyn Barnett
says the event is all about enjoying the
outdoors with family and friends.
“Every time I go to the Ashley-
Rakahuri river I see something new.
We are so lucky to have this national
treasure in our backyard, so easily
accessible for cyclists and walkers.”
She is delighted that the funds raised
from the event will go towards helping
local people enjoy a better quality of

Far more Cook Island nationals live
in New Zealand, with the 2013 census
identifying more than 60,000 as
resident in this country, about the same
population as the Waimakariri district.
The culture and language are similar
to Maori and the indigenous people are

Nukutere is also believed to be the

Bad Recycling Bill Continues to Climb
Fresh statistics show that extra costs from bad
recycling is still growing.
Since bin checks began in October last year, 253
truckloads of recycling have been sent to the
landfill at acost of $307,800.
“We’re seeing improvements on astreetbystreet
basis, but,overall contamination is still high andtrucks
of recycling are still heading to the landfill”,says Kitty
Waghorn,Council’sSolid WasteAssetManager.
Contamination ratesaresitting at almost 40percent
four weeks into thesecondround ofbin checks.
Eco Central who process most of Canterbury’s
recycling have anacceptance criteria of less than
10 percent contamination and trucks that exceed
that are diverted to the landfill.
Kitty said the Council will be getting tougher on
people who continue to ignore warnings to clean
up their recycling.
So far six households have had bins removed that
have continued to be filled with rubbish, two are
on the list for immediate removal, and another
eleven are on awatchlist to be regularly re-checked
because they have had three contaminations.
“The removal of bins from these properties means
we have abetter chance of being able to recycle.
The households were given several opportunities
to improve their recycling and bin removals are the
last resort".
