Flood fund
in the
spotlight
The Government’s package of $500,000 to help
floodstricken farmers in Canterburyis
inadequate,says Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon.
He has asked the Governmenttoconsiderafar
more substantial packagetohelp those in ‘‘real’’
need acrossthe Canterbury region.
Mr Gordon met withacting Ministerfor
Emergency Management KrisFaafoi last week to
express concerns on behalf of property ownersin
the district followingthe flood event.
He told Mr Faafoi when damagetoproperty in
the Waimakariri District was put alongside
damage in the Ashburtonand Selwyn Districts,
the sum announcedtohelp peopleget back on
theirfeet, was not sufficient.
He also pointed out the package didn’t provide
anything for lifestyle block owners affected by the
floods, of which there are many in the
Waimakariri District.
‘‘Sincethe flooding Ihave talked with farmers
and residents of Lees Valley, residentsofaffected
flooding areasofOkuku and surrounding areas,
and have agood understanding of theissues they
face trying to get back on theirfeet,’’MrGordon
says.
In LeesValley thereare significant areasof
fencing where the insurance cover is minimal,
comparedtothe loss.
‘‘I have been made awareofone casewhere the
fencing alonewouldlikely absorbthe total
$500,000 package.’’
Thereare some lifestyle propertiesinthe
Okukuarea facingsimilarhardship having lost
fencing and other assets which wereswept away
by floodwaters.
‘‘Insurance coverisminimal compared to the
loss,especiallywhen it comes to fencing, andthey
face considerable cost puttingitback,’’MrGordon
says.
Therehas also been landloss whererivers had
changed courseand gonethrough properties. Mr
Gordon says it is too early to know thelasting
effect of this, but the Earthquake Commissionand
insurance companies were unlikely to respond
and help peopleinthese circumstances.
‘‘Peopleare worried about their future andhow
they can afford to getback intothe sameposition
they were before the floods.’’

Hurunui’sheritage restored
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Hurunui’s heritage is in safe hands.
Alovingly restored home near
Culverden, and aforestry lookout
atop arocky bluff in the Hurunui
Hills, carried off trophies at the
Canterbury Heritage Awards last
week.
Dave and Jo McKenzie from
Montrose Station, Culverden, were
joint winners in the Domestic Saved
and Restored category, while the
Hawarden Waikari Lions were joint
winners in the public Realm Saved
and Restored category.
Each received aNeil Dawson
trophy. Mr Dawson is aprominent
New Zealand sculptor who has
exhibited internationally, and
crafted many fine commissioned
works. The Lookout was equal first
with the Christchurch Arts Centre.
Hurunui Mayor, Marie Black, who
helped drive the project, says this
showed ‘‘just how amazing’’ the
award was.
The Domestic Saved and Restored
Award is reward for several years of
planning and careful negotiation of
red tape by the McKenzies to rebuild
their 1913 Montrose Station
homestead, near Culverden, after the
devastation of the 2016, 7.8
magnitude earthquake centred on
Waiau.
It wrecked havoc in North
Canterbury, Kaikoura and beyond,
and destroyed parts of the homestead
designed by architect Cecil Wood at a
time when he was considered the
leading domestic architect in
Canterbury. The family and their
three children have only been back in
their home ayear, with the
intervening time spent making
decisions around the rebuild, how to
manage it and meeting the Historic
Places Trust’s criteria for the
Category 2building.

Fireworks decision ‘responsible’
By SHELLEY TOPP
AWaimakariri District councillor is
heartened by The Warehouse’s decision
to stop selling fireworks.
‘‘It is the right move,’’ Paul Williams
says.
He now wants to see fireworks
restricted to public displays because of
the potential of fireworks to cause fires
to homes and properties, and cause
distress, pain and even death to animals.
In 2018 Waimakariri District Council
staff were asked to investigate whether
it was possible to ban, or at least limit,
the sale of fireworks in Waimakariri and
only have public fireworks displays,
after Cr Williams raised the issue.
‘‘I am pleased that The Warehouse is
acting in aresponsible way by now not
selling this product,’’ he said.
‘‘Other retailers now need to follow
this action.’'
‘‘I found that the council could not
implement abylaw,’’ he says.
Paul Williams
Cr Williams says while most families
act responsibly with their fireworks,
others don’t.
‘‘I had ratepayers relaying stories of
sky rockets being let off from moving
cars aimed at houses.
‘‘My father was avolunteer fireman
and Ialso saw the strain this put on our
already very busy fire service.’'
Cr Williams says he has support from
the SPCA and other groups to stop the
sale of fireworks to the public.
‘‘However Isupport public displays
that are displayed in asafe way in which
people can get the information required
to keep their pets safe and the fire
service can have asay on the
conditions.’’
The Warehouse chief product officer
Tania Benyon said when making the
announcement about the decision to end
the sale of fireworks, that it came after
feedback from customers.
‘‘While many are supportive of public
fireworks displays to mark special
events across the year, Guy Fawkes has
become less of an occasion, and there
are clear concerns about people letting
off fireworks at home.
‘‘In line with that response we no
longer feel fireworks have aplace on our
shelves.’'
Home and lookout preserve Hurunui history
From Page 1
‘‘All plans had to go throughthem(the
Historic Places Trust), for approval
which added another six months to
rebuild.
‘‘Meanwhile we lived in the90
square metre shearers quarters,
compared to our 600 square metre
house,’’ saysJo.
Someparts of the home were
repaired, some demolished and then
rebuilt.
The architects for the project,
Wilson andHill, ensured much of the
original timberand brick construction
was retained, with many original
features skilfully reintegrated.
Jo saysitisahuge thrill to be back in
their home.
The Hawarden Waikari LionsClub
led project restoringthe Balmoral
Forestry Lookouthas helped preserve
arare example of afire lookoutinNew

Personal journey ignites passion
By DAVID HILL
Following her family’s legacy led to a
Queen’s Birthday Honour for Kaikoura’s
Gina Solomon.
Ms Solomon was made aMember of
the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM)
for services to conservation and
governance.
‘‘I was pretty blown away by it. You
don’t expect those things to happen and
then it does.
‘‘I’ve been involved in anumber of
different committees over the years in
that conservation and environment
space and I’ve had some wonderful
opportunities to go to some great places
and meet some great people.’’
Growing up at Oaro, south of
Kaikoura, she gained apassion for
conservation, following afamily legacy.
‘‘My father fished with my grandfather
and that’s where my grandmother’s
people are from, so it’s been apersonal
journey of trying to carryon their good
work to ensure it continues to feed us.
‘‘I don’t fish myself, but it’s about
looking after that place for the next
generation and the one after that.’’
After living and working in
Wellington, Ms Solomon returned home
to Kaikoura in 1993 and was keen to
reconnect with her iwi.
She was appointed secretary of the
local Kaikoura runanga and began
tagging along with her mother, Darcia
Solomon, to various hui, including the
Nelson Marlborough Conservation
Board.
Her mother had replaced her uncle as
the Ngai Tahu representative on the
Queen’s Birthday honour ... Gina
Solomon was surprised to be awarded an
MNZM.

conservation board ‘‘and she wanted me
to take her place one day’’.
‘‘I tagged along with her to various hui
over the years and Iended up being her
driver and then Igot thrown in the deep
end, so Idid my best to try to swim.
‘‘I’ve been very lucky at having good
people around me, including close
family and friends who have given me
advice so it’s not just recognition for me.
‘‘You don’t really do anything without
the people who stand with you.’’
Ms Solomon has served 14 years on the
conservation board and as chairperson
since 2017, but will step down later this
month.
She continues to be involved in Te
Korowai oTeTai oMarokura as
secretary and administrator and is a
Kaikoura Marine Guardian.
Te Korowai was instrumental in
advocating for the establishment of
Kaikoura’s marine protection
legislation, while the guardians were
established to monitor the marine
reserve.
Her passion for conservation has also
led to involvement in the QEII National
Trust Board, the Nature Heritage Fund,
the Molesworth Steering Committee, the
Forestry Ministerial Advisory Group,
the Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable
Trust and the Kaikoura Zone
Committee.
‘‘I really enjoyed my time on the QEII
trust. Ihad the opportunity to share my
iwi values. Being the only Maori on the
trust board at the time, it was important
to share that.
‘‘I got to go all round New Zealand and
see what people are doing. Iwent to
some special places and Igot to hold a
kiwi and agiant weta and had all sorts of
wonderful experiences that you don’t
always get to see. I’ve been very, very
lucky.’’

By SHELLEY TOPP
BayleysRangiora real estate agentGeorge
Black was backatwork withblistered feet
last Mondayafter raising more than
$20,000for theNorthCanterbury Rural
SupportTrust.
George ran 100 kilometres,from The
Peaks, in Hawarden, to Christchurch,in
his gumbootsonThursdaylast week to
supportthe trust’s work.
‘‘I grew up on aNorth Canterbury farm
and understand that farming can be
extremely toughattimes,’’ he said. ‘‘The
suiciderate for farmers is 1.5 times the
New Zealand average so theyneed all the
supportwecan give them.’’
The run took George 12 hours and 15
minutestocomplete.
‘‘I am stokedabout the money we raised
which was more than double what Ihoped
for. Iamreallygrateful to all the people
who supported me and madedonations,’’
he said. ‘‘I had alot of support and it
worked out really well.’’
The North Canterbury Rural Support
TrustchairGayle Litchfield said she was
in awe of whatGeorgehad achieved for
the trust.
‘‘What aremarkable young man he is.
We were at the finish line along with his
colleagues to cheer him in and the feeling
was one of sheer amazement that he was
stillsmiling at the end of his challenge.
‘‘We would liketothank hismum and
the rest of his support crew for the role
they playedtoo. Iamsure he would agree
he would not have beenable to do it
without them.’’ The money raisedwill go
towards helpingthe trustprovide
additionalwellbeing support to the
farming community.
George established aGivealittle page
before the run for peopletomake
donations to the fundraiser and by last
Monday he had raised $20,300.The tallyis

Ice life. .. Kaiapoi photographer and filmmaker Anthony Powell in Antarctica, the subject of his multiaward winning film Antarctica: A
Year on Ice which will be screened at the Rangiora Town Hall cinemas this August.

Frozen continent, raw and pristine
By SHELLEY TOPP
AKaiapoi photographer and film
maker’s multiawardwinning
documentary Antarctica: AYear on Ice,
is to be screened in Rangiora.
Anthony Powell's film had its world
premiere at the New Zealand
International Film Festival in
Christchurch during July 2013.
But renewed interest in it, and
interest from school principals, means it
will screen in Rangiora later this year.
Anthony made his first trip to
Antarctica in 1997 and has now spent
about 10 years, off and on, on the Earth’s
southernmost continent.
‘‘It took afew years of experimenting
with cameras to get things that would
actually work in the cold of winter, then
afew more to build up the footage,’’ he
said.
‘‘I had not seen anything that Ithought
really captured the experience from the
point of view of the everyday worker, or
what it is like to spend the winter there
isolated from the rest of the world, so
once Ihad most of the scenery shots, I
concentrated on filming that story for a
couple of years.’’
Curiosity, and asense of adventure,
made him want to visit the frozen
continent.
‘‘I wanted to shake things up abit from
my usual job.’’
Originally he worked as
telecommunications worker, looking
after the phone, radios, satellite gear
and other electronics. ‘‘Now Iwork as a
fulltime documentarian, filmmaker,
photographer, and multimedia
creator.’’
The cleanness, untouched by humans,
is the thing he finds most extraordinary
about Antarctica.
‘‘Anywhere else in the world, even in
national parks, way off the beaten track,
you still see signs of human activity,’’ he
said.
‘‘Once you get away from the bases in
Antarctica it is still raw and pristine.’’
Anthony has seen ashift in culture
towards putting alot more effort into
making sure Antarctica remains as
clean, and as untouched as possible.
‘‘But also the effects of climate change
are becoming more and more apparent,’’
he says.
The owner of Rangiora Town Hall
Cinemas, Jeremy Stewart, is offering a
discounted ticket price for school
groups to the film on Monday, August 30,
Tuesday August 31 and Wednesday
September 1, all starting at 10am.
Anthony will do aQ&A session after
the film at each screening.

By SHELLEYTOPP
An interdenominational
service is being plannedto
celebratethe 150th

The plans have been kept
simpledue to concerns
about ``another Covid19
level 2situation,orworse,’’
says the AshleyCommunity
ChurchchairJeneane
Hobby.
``We will justhost an
interdenominational
service, with afew
reflectionsfrom members
of the community to cover

Paul Askin, aformer

Charles Ffrench
Pemberton,one of the

memberofour local
community who recalls
worshipping in the final
Anglican years, and Julia
Witbrock will speak about
the Eastern Orthodox
tenancy (30 years from 1982
2012),’’Jeneane says.There
is also likely to be someone
talking aboutthe periodof
salvageand restoration
during the early 1970s.
It’s also hoped Lesley

Funding nets results
Funding from Fonterra is supporting the
protection and enhancement of one of the
lastremaining coastal bush scarp wetlands
in the South Island.
The Hailes family farm just north of
Kaikoura boasts uninterruptedviewsofthe
SeawardKaikoura Ranges on one side, and
on the other, vast ocean.
Castyour eyesdownwardand nestled at
the bottomoftheirdriveway is one of
Canterbury’s best examples of acoastal
bushscarp wetland, and one of the last
remaining in the South Island.
The farm is home to the Hapuku Scarp
wetland, totaling more than10hectares.
It is the largestremaining freshwater
palustrine wetland (fed by rain,
groundwater,orsurface water) in the area
and hosts someofNew Zealand’s
southernmost tawa and black maire trees.
Neighbour Richard Howard sharesthe
wetland and wasalso quick to recognise its
significance, fencinghis part of the wetland
manyyears ago.
Bothlandowners havebeen proactive in
protecting the wetlands and overland flows
intothe wetland,fencing off several
overland flow paths and critical source
areas. Asignificantcontribution from the
Fonterra Sustainable Catchment Fund has
ensuredthe wetland is protected from
stock.
Thishas enabled theHailes, who
specialise in dairy,deer and tourism, to
increase fence setbacks(the distance
between the waterwayand the fence) to the
wetland, and upgrade fencing on the scarp
to make it more resilient to floodsand
heavy rain.
Bernard Hailes saysthe funding from
Fonterra has enabled them to completely
fence the last long stretch of their wetland,
helpingtoprotect the natural taonga.
‘‘The fencing means the natural beautyof
the wetland will be fullyprotectedand it

LONG TERM PLAN (LTP) 2021 -2031

Thisisthe Council’s first LTP plan since2015. The years following the
earthquakes have been HUGE! Now, withasuccessful Council $40million
InfrastructureRebuild project behindusit’stimetolookatthe future.
The Earthquake Rebuild has effectively renewed or replaced key
assets that were at the end of their expected life or otherwise
compromised. There is no major expenditure required on
Council owned infrastructure assets (more info on
assets below) over the next 20-30 years (other than
roads) and no major growth-related projects
needed for at least ten years.
Last year becauseofCOVID-19 we reduced the rates increase from
10% to 4%. We know our community still faces economic
uncertainty so we are working with a'no frills' budget. TheCouncil
is focusing on delivering affordable, fit-for-purpose services and
infrastructure upgrades that servethe community now and in the
future.
Using what we know about our infrastructure, and taking on board
what our community is tellingus, we have identified anumber of
priority areas that we want to focus on. If all of theproposals
in the LTP go ahead, it would mean an annual average rates
increase over ten years of 3.4%. (5.2% this year)

Spend $4.997 million on road reseals and renewals
to address abacklog - mostly inrural areas.

Bite-sizedslicesoffarming life in NC
By DAVID HILL
Five North Canterbury rural businesses
feature in anew book.
Launched at the West Eyreton Hall on
Friday evening, Waimakariribased
rural journalist Tim Fulton’s new book,
Kiwi Farmers’ Guide to Life,features 25
‘‘bitesized’’ chapters telling the stories
of New Zealand farmers and their
families.
‘‘I was able to cover all sorts of
farming operation types and people
from all over the country,’’ Tim says.
‘‘I’ve set it out to make it chunky, with
bitesized chapters, so it’s something
you can pick up and just dip into the
chapters.’’
He began the project last year, on the
eve of lockdown, which caused an
immediate rethink.
‘‘I was just about to get going and then
we had lockdown, so Iended up doing a
lot of phone calls and emails to farmers
around the country, and when I
eventually got to go and see them, it was
like Iwas bolting in and getting what
information Icould, knowing Imay only
get to visit them once.’’
Five North Canterbury families made
it into the book, including Tim’s
neighbours Alan and Margo Vliet
Vlieland of West Eyreton.
The couple migrated to New Zealand
from the Netherlands in the 1990s and
have gone on to breed Clydesdale horses
and compete in ploughing matches with
the Clydesdales.
Margo fell in love with the Clydesdale
after seeing them at the Canterbury A&P
Show, with Alan later training as an
equine dentist in the United States.
Chapter one is Andy Fox of Foxdown
at Scargill, in the Hurunui district.
‘‘It’s the classic tale of an intergenerational
dry land family farm,’’ Tim
says.
‘‘Andy is areal contributor in his
community and he’s areally interesting
guy. He has his own museum of vintage
cars and classic cars, and one car had its
origins in the Al Capone era in the 1930s.
‘‘And he has tales of how people have
farmed over the years.’’
Tracey Topp grew up in asheep
farming family at Cust and now runs
Cosy Toes at Rotherham selling Merino
clothing and created the We Love NZ
Wool social media campaign.
The Brothers Green features in a
chapter, telling of family ties to the
Culverden area and the story behind
establishing the hemp growing and
retail business.
Leighton and Jane Croft are sheep and
beef farmers at Omihi, north of Waipara,
and have hosted the Omihi Trailbike
fundraiser for their local school on the
farm.
‘‘These were people Ithought Iknew,
but now Iknow them aheck of alot
better,’’ Tim says.
Kiwi Farmers’ Guide to Life: Rural
tales from the heartland by Tim Fulton
has been published by Bateman Books
and is on sale at bookstores for $39.99.

thirtyplus singers.
``We are afriendly,

``Our choir includes at

wellbeing, physically and
socially.’’
New members are always
welcome, especially men
able to sing tenor or bass.
``Please support our
concert and if you are a
singer come and join us in
August after the choir has

Youth council wants to
change skate park vibe
Ayouthled project at Rangiora’s Dudley
Park has been given the green light.
The RangioraAshley Community
Board has given its approval for concept
plans to create amore communityfriendly
space alongside the Dudley Park
skate park.
The project has been led by the
Waimakariri Youth Council, which has
been working alongside the council’s
greenspace to look at how the park can be
made more inclusive for more people.
‘‘The youth council has done afantastic
job bringing everyone’s ideas together
and the new features will create agreat
area for all to enjoy,’’ board chairperson
Jim Gerard says.
The idea was proposed by the youth
council in response to reports of antisocial
behaviour.
The Waimakariri District Council set
aside $20,000 from its 2019/20 annual
plan.
The board’s approval of the plan allows
the youth council to seek external
funding to fund its $40,000 budget.
The first feature to be installed will be
an ‘activation platform’, with plans to
install mounded seating, children’s play
equipment, apicnic table and a
volleyball net.
Once the project is completed, staff
will work with the youth council to carry
out surveys to see if the additional
features are successful in making amore
youth and communityfriendly space.
Council staff are keen to see which
features are successful so that they can
be utilised in other public spaces across
the district.

New exhibition saving
art from rubbish skip
By SHELLEYTOPP
Anew exhibitioninRangiora’sChamber
Gallery is saving‘incredible’ art from
the rubbish skip.
The Uncovering HiddenTalent
exhibition, in Rangiora’s Chamber
Gallery, showcases the work of
Canterbury secondary schools’ Year
1113 senior visualartists.
The work is part of afree initiative
launched in 2018 by the Creator’s Room,
to connectsenior visual artists in
Canterbury secondary schools with the
community of collectors.
One of the instigatorsofthe Creator’s
Room, Sophie Paterson, of
Christchurch, who established the
onlinegallery with Charlotte Sherratt,
of Ashburton, said incredible art work
was created at secondary schoollevel,
but more often than not thosestudentart
foliosended up either in adeep, dark
corneroftheir parents’ garage or in the
schoolrubbish skip.
‘‘We wanted to provide options for
these students to showcase their work,’’
Sophiesaid.
‘‘We provide upfront financial
support, through the purchase and
professioal framingofthe original
artworks and fundthe reproductionof
their limitededition prints,’’ she said.
‘‘The artworksare then made
available to the collectors throughour
gallery online and annual exhibition,
with acommission of all sales going
directly to the artists.’’
The initiative overcomes anumber of
obstacles facing students endeavouring
to publiclyshowcase their artwork.
‘‘Our secondary school art students
often lack confidence, resources and
funding to createand present theirwork
on aprofessional level and have limited
ways of marketing themselves and
connecting with the widerarts
community,’’Sophiesaid.
The Creator’s Room also awards an
annualscholarship of $3000 to one of the
students taking part in the initiative,
once they leavethe school environment,
to help support the development of their
artistic career.
The scholarship winner is selected by
an independent judging panel
consisting of practising artists and art
experts.
Two former scholarship winners,
Emma Patmore and Jack Williams have
artwork in this exhibition.
The UncoveringHidden Talent
exhibition opened on Sunday and ends
on July 8.

Rewritten will be performed in the
Rangiora Town Hall from July 14 to 17.
Show director Paul Johnsonhas added
his own twisttoascriptwritten by school
directorDale HartleyBrown more thana
decade ago.
‘‘When Ifirst wrote it more than 10 years
ago Irememberthinking about whatthe
characters weretryingtosay and being
conscious of makingsure it was
appropriate formystudents to say on stage.
‘‘Andthen this time, while there’s
nothing particularly rude, therewas alot of
things the guys aresaying to the girls and
that the girlswere wishingfor that just
aren’t quite right anymoreand Iwantmy
girlstobeconfident. So Ithink it’sreally
interestingjust how muchthingshave
changed,even in the last 10 years.’’
Whilethe lineshavechanged,Dale says
the story stays truetothe original
characters.
The wellknowncharacters include the
fairyking Oberon (playedbyDaniel Lees)

Bull prices disappoint
North Canterbury’s recent drought has
taken its toll,with prices down at the first
bull sales in the region.
Pricesatthe annualRichon /Beechwood
/Woodburnonfarm saleatBalcairn, near
Amberley, and the Grassmere /Riverlands
J/Capethorne sale heldnear Cheviot last
Thursday were welldownonrecentyears.
RichonHerefordstud owner Rob Stokes
says the combination of an uncertain
marketand the recentdroughtappear to
have had an impact.
‘‘I can’tnail exactly what it is, but we just
didn’thave the underbidders on the day.
Everyone’s bulls have come throughthe
drought prettywell, but you just never
know withbull sales.’’
‘‘It was goodlast year, but the calf market
was also strong. Whereasit’s adifferent
marketthis year withabit of uncertainty.
Sheep are doingall right, but beef needs to
pick up.’’
The top price for aRichonbull on the day
was just $6000,with ‘‘a few passes’’, while
the Burrows family’s Beechwood Hereford
stud topped the sale with $10,000.
Richonand Beechwood were forced to
withdraw their Herefordcows from the
sale after the recentflood event damaged
roads and bridges, restricting accesstothe
Stokesfamily’s LeesValley property,near
Oxford.
Selling was just as tough up the road at
Domett, near Cheviot,with Grassmere
Herefords selling 11 of its 16 Hereford bulls
for an averagepriceof$6545.
The Jeffries family toppedthe sale with
Livestock firms join forces
Livestockbroking firms Hazlett and Peter
Walsh &Associates(PW&A) are joining
forces to become abroader, South Islandwide

Hazlett will acquire all of PW&A’s
operations on July 1, except for Peter
Walsh &AssociatesFinance (PWAF),
which Peter Walsh will retain.
All PW&A team members have been
offered positions and, other than everyone
wearing the Hazlett shirts, things are
expectedtorun as they are with no
disruption.
The billing systems used by both
companies will remain as they are, and
clients will continue to deal with the same
people they are dealing with now.
PW&A wasestablished nearly 20 years
ago and has grown to provide services to
South Island farmers.
Succession planning by Peter and
Karen Walsh,and the PW&A Board,
identified Hazlettasbeingthe company
which is closest in culture and best placed
to build on what the team has achieved
over the years.
Hazlett chairman Graham Brown says
his company and PW&A already know
each otherwell, having jointlydeveloped
and operatedthe Coalgate Saleyards.

shared focus on people and acommitment
to do the best for our clients makesthis
development more of awinwin than any
sort of truce,’’ Grahamsays.
‘‘The two companies have mutual
respect for each other, we are both familyowned,
we already work well together and
we are going to build on that for our
clients who will enjoy the benefitsof
working with acompany which operates
throughout the South Island and into the
NorthIsland and whichprovides
insurance, agrisupplies, funding and
procurement services, as well as livestock

PW&A was established in 2002 by

Baptism of fire for new leader
By DAVID HILL
Caroline Amyeshas had an eventful
first month in her new roleasafarming
leader.
TheFederated Farmers North
Canterburypresident is hoping her trip
to NationalFieldays at MysteryWeek
this week will give her the chance to
‘‘refocus’’ after her ‘‘baptismoffire’’ in
respondingtothe recent flood event.
‘‘It’s beenaninterestingfirst month.
The Federated Farmers team has been
awesome in the support they’ve
provided and we’ve been working
closely with the MidCanterbury and
SouthCanterbury provincial presidents,
so there’s been plentyofsupport.’’
Like Ms Amyes, South Canterbury
president Greg Andersonwas only
elected last month.
Despite the challenges of her first
month, she has no regrets.
‘‘These things never happenatthe
most convenient time,but (immediate
past president)Cam [Henderson] and
the restofthe exechave beenawesome.
If the wholeexec had changedatonce it
wouldhave beenadifferent story.
‘‘I really like helpingpeople and
providingsupport, so I’ve just been
trying to do that and Ihope it’s
beneficial.’’
Whilepeopletend to run on
adrenalineinresponding to a
significantnaturalevent, the recovery
phasecan be more taxing on people, she
says.
‘‘Farmers are really good at reaching
out and supporting each other. These
events happen and thenitkind of falls
out of the newscycle,but these guys are
on theirfarms whichare still not fully
functioningand they’re having to deal
with it everyday.’’
Ms Amyes is particularly concerned
for drylandfarmers in NorthCanterbury
BayBlenders
who havebeen dealing with the long
drought and now have had winter crops
destroyed and fences wrecked, which
can takea‘‘massive toll’’ on finances,
relationships and mental health.
‘‘I want people to have the confidence
to reach out to me for help and support.
Even if Idon’thave the expertise, Ican
put them on to someone else.’’

Varied career leads to NZPork
By DAVID HILL
Maitland Manning has made
the switch from sheep and
cowstopigs.
After avariedcareer, which
has included roles with
DairyNZ and Beef +Lamb
New Zealand (BLNZ), Mr
Manning joinedNZPork as
nationalindustrysupport
manager based in
Christchurch last month.
Mr Manninggrew up on a
sheep, beef, cropping and
Clydesdalefarm in the
Wairarapa, completing a
science degree at the
University of Canterbury.
Since then he has workedin
project management roles for
DairyNZ and the former Crop
&Food Research(now Plant
&Food) and was aresearch
manager at BLNZ.
‘‘I’ve done alittle bit of
everything.The only thingsI
haven’t done are poultryand
arable,’’ he says.
‘‘While Iknow all farms are
different, Ihave an
appreciationthat there are
common threads. And
everyone who works at the
levyfunded organisations is
passionate about what they do
and want to do the best for
their levy payers.’’
Thatvariety of experiences
should put Mr Manningin
goodstead for his new role,
which will see him work
closely with New Zealand’s 93
commercial pig farms to
support them with advice on
immigration, migrant labour,

health and safety, vocational
education and employment.
The role also involves
supporting the collaboration,
communicationand
education across the pork
industry ‘‘from paddock to
plate’’.
Mr Manning is looking
forward to gettingout to meet
farmers around the region
and learning abouttheir
challenges, so he can be a
voicefor them.
‘‘I’mstill gettingmyhead
around it, but there are alot
of uncertainties, so it’s about
how do we helpthem and
work with government to get
the best outcome.’’
One challenge facingthe
pork industry was competing
against importedmeat, which
was oftensubject to lower
environmental, animal
welfare and safety standards.
NZPork has called for
mandatory country of origin
labellingtoassistlocal
consumers.
‘‘We wantconsumers to
know they can make an
informed choice,’’ Mr
Manning says.
‘‘We are here to represent
our farmers and we are proud
of our farmers. We are being
held to ahigher standard and
at the end of the day it’supto
the consumer.
‘‘It’s the same across any
industry. Our farmersare
passionate about their
animals and they’re
passionate about their
product.’’
Sourcing qualitystaff has
always been achallenge,
made worse by Covid19
border restrictions, though on
asmaller scale comparedto
otherindustries.
Thereare positives and
challengesofworking for a
smaller industry body, Mr
Manning says.
‘‘In this role there’s93
farmsinstead of thousands of
farms. Ithinkit’s great
because you’ve got the
opportunity to get to know
people and their situations.
‘‘Butitdoes mean we’ve got
asmaller budgetsoyou’vegot
to be abit more nimble and
focused.’’
NZPork supportsan
industry which produces
637,280 pigsayear, withtwothirds
of the pigsprocessed in
the South Island.

largest pig producing region,
with Patoa Farms at Medbury,

Kaiapoi third in country rugby
RUGBY
BY LINDSAY KERR,
PETER WILLIAMS AND
DAYLE SUTHERLAND
Kaiapoi beat Prebbleton 208 in
the playoff for third and fourth
positions in the 2021 edition of
the Luisetti Seeds Combined
Country rugby competition.
This equalled Kaiapoi’s
previous best finishinthis
competitioninthe 2010 season.
Whilethiswas unfoldingat
Kaiapoi,Southbridge and hosts,
Southern werelocked in a
thriller 120kmfurthersouth at
Hinds.
Southbridge made the early
running but Southern gradually
closed the gap and eventually,
late in the second half, scored
what proved to be the winning
try to holdonfor a2218victory.
With the competition in
abeyancelast season courtesy
of Covid19, Southern had
shared the spoils with
GlenmarkCheviot in 2019,soit
can claim to be the most
consistent team of the lastfew
seasons.
Kaiapoi v
Prebbleton
At Kaiapoi, both teamschoseto
rest anumberoftheirregular
starters but there was no lack of
intensity.
Kaiapoi unveiled yet another
frontrower of truequality with
youngster Henry Bogitini
impressing in aconvincingspell
at looseheadprop.
This week it was his turnto
anchorastrong scrum which
kept Kaiapoi in the game
despite Prebbleton havinga
distinct territorial advantagein
the first half.
Despite that Kaiapoi scored
the first two tries of the match,
ten minuteseither side of halftime,
with lock Nacanieli
Namatainstrumental in both
tries.
In the first he offloaded to his
locking partner Connor Smith,
while he scored the second
himself after selling one of his
trademarkdummies.
At this point Kaiapoi had a
comfortable buffer and it was
late in the matchbefore

try.
Kaiapoi’s defensiveeffort was
particularly laudable and a
major factor in restricting
Prebbleton’s scoring.
Loose forwards JarrodSmith
and Jarred Gilmore took the
leadand, though short in
stature, neverstopped running
and never shirkedthe tackle,
serving their side superbly and
could takealot of credit forthe
Kaiapoi victory.

Saracens v
Springston
At Southbrook Park,Saracens’
strong season continued with a
4336 win overSpringstoninthe
5th place playoff game.
Following its injurytime
defeat in the quarter finals,
Saracenswas determined to put
theresult behind it and used
the game as an opportunity to
do so.
Saracens led 2912athalf

Oxford vWest
Melton
Oxford earnedsome silverware
in the playoff for 9th place,
winningthe CanterburyRugby
Supporters’ Club Trophy, with a
handy 4524 victory over
Ellesmere’s WestMelton.
West Melton was in thehunt
in the opening quarter, but the
enterpriseofthe Oxford
backline was to prove too good.
Oxford was first to score,
when RhetMoore ran an inside
line to makeanoverlap.
West Meltonresponded
before Oxford’s impressive

Afterwinning the local derby
against HinemoaKaiapoi Rata a
fortnight ago, the Rangiora
Hurunui Hares were excited to
take on unbeaten Avon Aces in
the MidWeek Open Division 1
competition.
An own goal early put the
Haresonthe back foot,but they
replied quickly with an
equaliser, thendominated for
long periods and were unlucky
not to score several times.
In the end the Hares had to
settle for a1all draw,which
knocked them bothoff the top of
the table, but withonly two
points separating the top five
teamsinthe competition every
pointcounts.
The Rangiora Hurunui Hawks
have got on the board, scoring a
21 upset win over Avon, aweek
afteratight 43 loss against UC
Aztecs.
The Hawkswill be hoping this
form continues against bottomof
the tableSouthern United, so it
can close the gap on 4th place in
the Division3competition.
Both Rangiora CBK Division 1
teamshad tough asks last
weekend againstHornby.
The men were solid against the
second placed team in their
division, but were unable to
manufacture agoal despite
creating good opportunities.
The women did manageto
scorethreegreat goals, but it
wasn't enoughasits opponents
ran in seven.

Premiership, Rangiora
Korimako look determined to
dominate the SSL
Championship.
Two quick goals in the first
quarter set them up for a
comfortable 41 win againstUC
Athenians, ateam that had
beaten Rangiora earlier in the
season.
Unfortunately Rangiora
Piwakawaka couldn't match that
result, goingdown to UC Incas
30,but the scoreline could have
beenalot worse withoutthe
heroic efforts of goalkeeper
Cassidy New, who saved 17 shots
on goal.
At 21 down and with only 10 fit
playersthe Rangiora Allsorts
had to dig deep in theirmidweek
men's clash against Marist
Mooses, with George Ridgen
scoring from apenalty stroke to
take alate lead.
Marist dropped its goal keeper
near the end in adesperatebid to
manufacture agoal, butinstead
it gavethe Allsorts an easy 4th
goal and an unassailable lead.
Meanwhile heavy fog at
MainPower Turf couldn't hold
back the midweek Amen's team
from demolishing Uni Romans
110.

Kickstart Canterbury Presents Highway to Well
Motorcyclists feature highly in our road crash
statistics, particularly in the Canterbury area.
While there are some great riding routes, wealso
unfortunately have one of the highest death and
serious injury rates in the country.
Since 2015 sadly 44 motorcyclists have lost their
lives on Canterbury roads with afurther 285
seriously injured. For every one of those people it
is an ongoing trauma for both families and loved
ones le behind orrecovering from or adapting to
the impact of serious injuries ontheir lives.
Kickstart Canterbury is acollaborative effort
involving Waimakariri and Selwyn District Councils,
Christchurch City Council, ACC, Motorcycle Safety
Advisory Council and local Ride Forever trainers.
Each year events are held to encourage uptake of
Ride Forever training and promote safer riding.
This year Kickstart Canterbury are linking inwith
Men’sHealth Week, recognising that motorcycle
riding has many benefits other than transport.
Being in the right physical and mental health when
riding is key to keeping safe onthe roads.
Kickstart’s “Highway to Well” events are free and
will have guest speakers and motorcycle safety and
health information. There will also be multiple spot
prizes and free nibbles throughout the evening.
The event provides agreat opportunity to come
together and connect with likeminded riders, and

tips, mental health and wellbeing.
Local Ride Forever trainerswill be there to chatto,
along with the CanterburyMen's Centre, Menz Medical,

Hammering home electric
An Amberleybased building
company is working towards
becoming carbon negative.
Murchison Homes,which has an
environmental focus, is adopting
an electric vehicle(EV) fleetasa
first stepinhelping removemore
carbondioxide from the
atmospherethan they emit.
ManagingdirectorMarty
Murchison says the company is
also moving toward using wool
insulation, renewable timbers
such as beechand pine, and ecofriendly
fibre cement.
Martysays the benefits of
swapping to EVs was compelling,
and believes in the not too distant
futurethe majority of New
Zealanders will be driving them.
‘‘We hope that by adopting an
EV fleet we can lead by example
and begin to effect real change,’’
he says.
Electric vehicles emitted 80
percent less carbonthan an
equivalent petrol vehicle, were
cheaper to run, and had lower
maintenance costs
Critics said batteries could not
be recycled, but they could be
used for solarback up, and
facilities overseas werenow
recycling the entire battery, and
making them intonew ones.
‘‘We will see these battery
recycling facilities in New
Zealandonce enough people swap
over,’’Marty says.
The range of the vehicles
needed to be calculated when
making the transition to EVs, he
says.
‘‘The Nissan Leafinthe
Murchison Homes fleet covers
220km while the Tesla Model 3
will travelupto660km, depending
on how heavy footed you are.’’
