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

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

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

andKaikoura
Personal journey ignites passion<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Following her family’s legacy led to a<br />
Queen’s Birthday Honour for Kaikoura’s<br />
Gina Solomon.<br />
Ms Solomon was made aMember of<br />
the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM)<br />
for services to conservation and<br />
governance.<br />
‘‘I was pretty blown away by it. You<br />
don’t expect those things to happen and<br />
then it does.<br />
‘‘I’ve been involved in anumber of<br />
different committees over the years in<br />
that conservation and environment<br />
space and I’ve had some wonderful<br />
opportunities to go to some great places<br />
and meet some great people.’’<br />
Growing up at Oaro, south of<br />
Kaikoura, she gained apassion for<br />
conservation, following afamily legacy.<br />
‘‘My father fished with my grandfather<br />
and that’s where my grandmother’s<br />
people are from, so it’s been apersonal<br />
journey of trying to carryon their good<br />
work to ensure it continues to feed us.<br />
‘‘I don’t fish myself, but it’s about<br />
looking after that place for the next<br />
generation and the one after that.’’<br />
After living and working in<br />
Wellington, Ms Solomon returned home<br />
to Kaikoura in 1993 and was keen to<br />
reconnect with her iwi.<br />
She was appointed secretary of the<br />
local Kaikoura runanga and began<br />
tagging along with her mother, Darcia<br />
Solomon, to various hui, including the<br />
Nelson Marlborough Conservation<br />
Board.<br />
Her mother had replaced her uncle as<br />
the Ngai Tahu representative on the<br />
Queen’s Birthday honour ... Gina<br />
Solomon was surprised to be awarded an<br />
MNZM.<br />
PHOTO: SUPPLIED<br />
conservation board ‘‘and she wanted me<br />
to take her place one day’’.<br />
‘‘I tagged along with her to various hui<br />
over the years and Iended up being her<br />
driver and then Igot thrown in the deep<br />
end, so Idid my best to try to swim.<br />
‘‘I’ve been very lucky at having good<br />
people around me, including close<br />
family and friends who have given me<br />
advice so it’s not just recognition for me.<br />
‘‘You don’t really do anything without<br />
the people who stand with you.’’<br />
Ms Solomon has served 14 years on the<br />
conservation board and as chairperson<br />
since 20<strong>17</strong>, but will step down later this<br />
month.<br />
She continues to be involved in Te<br />
Korowai oTeTai oMarokura as<br />
secretary and administrator and is a<br />
Kaikoura Marine Guardian.<br />
Te Korowai was instrumental in<br />
advocating for the establishment of<br />
Kaikoura’s marine protection<br />
legislation, while the guardians were<br />
established to monitor the marine<br />
reserve.<br />
Her passion for conservation has also<br />
led to involvement in the QEII National<br />
Trust Board, the Nature Heritage Fund,<br />
the Molesworth Steering Committee, the<br />
Forestry Ministerial Advisory Group,<br />
the Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable<br />
Trust and the Kaikoura Zone<br />
Committee.<br />
‘‘I really enjoyed my time on the QEII<br />
trust. Ihad the opportunity to share my<br />
iwi values. Being the only Maori on the<br />
trust board at the time, it was important<br />
to share that.<br />
‘‘I got to go all round New Zealand and<br />
see what people are doing. Iwent to<br />
some special places and Igot to hold a<br />
kiwi and agiant weta and had all sorts of<br />
wonderful experiences that you don’t<br />
always get to see. I’ve been very, very<br />
lucky.’’<br />

was one of sheer amazement that he was<br />
stillsmiling at the end of his challenge.<br />
‘‘We would liketothank hismum and<br />
the rest of his support crew for the role<br />

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

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

earthquakes have been HUGE! Now, withasuccessful Council $40million<br />
InfrastructureRebuild project behindusit’stimetolookatthe future.<br />
The Earthquake Rebuild has effectively renewed or replaced key<br />
assets that were at the end of their expected life or otherwise<br />
compromised. There is no major expenditure required on<br />
Council owned infrastructure assets (more info on<br />

needed for at least ten years.<br />

10% to 4%. We know our community still faces economic<br />
uncertainty so we are working with a'no frills' budget. TheCouncil<br />
is focusing on delivering affordable, fit-for-purpose services and<br />
infrastructure upgrades that servethe community now and in the<br />
future.<br />
Using what we know about our infrastructure, and taking on board<br />
what our community is tellingus, we have identified anumber of<br />
priority areas that we want to focus on. If all of theproposals<br />
in the LTP go ahead, it would mean an annual average rates<br />
increase over ten years of 3.4%. (5.2% this year)<br />

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

The winter season will take<br />
centre stage in aconcert in<br />
Rangiora next week.<br />
The popular Rangiora<br />
Community Choir will<br />
perform awinter solstice<br />
concert in the Rangiora<br />

<strong>June</strong> 27, to celebrate winter<br />
and Matariki (the Maori New<br />

and cold, moon and stars, the<br />
New Year, appropriate<br />
carols and more.<br />
``There is amixture of<br />
wellknown and lesserknown<br />
material,’’ said the<br />
choir’s musical director,<br />
Merle Brown.<br />
``A variety of styles<br />
ranging from show music,<br />
swing style, traditional<br />
choral, carols, to a<br />
challenging modern<br />
rhythmic work will be<br />
performed.''<br />
The Covid19 lockdown<br />
disrupted the choir’s plans<br />
for 2020, but the members<br />
performed an informal<br />
concert for ‘‘Family and<br />
Friends’’ last December.<br />
``This replaced our usual<br />
Christmas Concert,’’ Merle<br />
said.<br />
``We also performed for<br />
rest homes and acommunity<br />
service group.''<br />
This year the choir has also<br />
performed another ‘‘Friends<br />
and Family’’ concert<br />
comprising Easter music.<br />
``Our ‘Friends and Family’<br />
concerts have been well<br />
supported and thoroughly<br />
enjoyed,’’ Merle said.<br />
The choir will also perform<br />
aChristmas concert this year<br />
at the end of November.<br />
Since the choir resumed<br />
after lockdown it has<br />
experienced steady growth<br />
and now comprises agroup of<br />
thirtyplus singers.<br />
``We are afriendly,<br />
welcoming group of all ages<br />
who enjoy our singing and<br />
socialising,’’ Merle said.<br />
``Our choir includes at<br />
least six members over<br />
eighty, which proves how<br />
good singing is for health and<br />
wellbeing, physically and<br />
socially.’’<br />
New members are always<br />
welcome, especially men<br />
able to sing tenor or bass.<br />
``Please support our<br />
concert and if you are a<br />
singer come and join us in<br />
August after the choir has<br />
taken awinter break,’’ Merle<br />
said.<br />
The concert starts at 2pm<br />
and is suitable for all ages.<br />
Tickets can be purchased<br />
at the church door before the<br />
concert and cost $8.00 for<br />

more communityfriendly.<br />

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

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

Legislation denying interest<br />
deductibility for residential rentals is a<br />
hot topic for many, as is the brightline test<br />
being extended to 10 years, whichtargets<br />
gains on buying and selling property, other<br />
than the main home, within 10 years.<br />
Add to that the ring fencingofrental<br />
lossesfrom April1,whichmeans rental<br />
lossescan notbeoffset againstother<br />
taxable income.<br />
Interest deductions on residential<br />
investmentpropertyacquired on or after<br />
27 March <strong>2021</strong> will not be allowedfrom1<br />
October <strong>2021</strong>. Interest on loans for<br />
properties acquired before March27, <strong>2021</strong><br />
can stillbeclaimed as an expense.<br />
However, the amountable to be claimed<br />
will be reduced over the nextfour income<br />
years until it is completelyphased out.<br />
This meansinthe 2025–2026 and later<br />
incomeyears, no claims can be made on<br />
interest expenses as deductions against<br />

Checking the future ... Landlords have plenty to digest with new legislation.<br />
change. Theywill still be able to claim<br />
interest as an expense.<br />
The brightlinepropertyrule does not<br />
apply to properties acquired before<br />
October 1, 2015. But if aproperty is sold<br />
thathas been owned for lessthan 10 years<br />
the sellermay have to pay incometax.<br />
The brightline property rule also<br />
applies to New Zealand tax residents who<br />
buy overseas residentialproperties.<br />

New top taxation rate<br />
Tax changesthatkicked in on April 1<br />
this year,see anyincome over $180,000<br />
taxed at anew top rate of 39 percent.<br />
Before April, New Zealand's tax<br />
thresholds saw any incomeover<br />
$70,000 taxed at 33 percent. Those<br />
earning above that amountnow, will<br />
only be taxed at 39 percent for dollars<br />
earned over $180,000. The rate only<br />
applies to individuals. So acouple<br />
could be earning $240,000 ayear with<br />
each personearning $120,000, but<br />
wouldn't be affected by the new rate.<br />
Finance MinisterGrant Robertson<br />
saidthe hike was neededtokeepalid<br />
on NewZealand'sdebtinthe wake of<br />
the Covid19 pandemic,while also<br />
maintaining investment in core public<br />
services like education and health. It's<br />
expected to generate about $550<br />
million of revenue each year.The tax<br />

Bull prices disappoint<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s recent drought has<br />
taken its toll,with prices down at the first<br />
bull sales in the region.<br />
Pricesatthe annualRichon /Beechwood<br />
/Woodburnonfarm saleatBalcairn, near<br />
Amberley, and the Grassmere /Riverlands<br />
J/Capethorne sale heldnear Cheviot last<br />
Thursday were welldownonrecentyears.<br />
RichonHerefordstud owner Rob Stokes<br />
says the combination of an uncertain<br />
marketand the recentdroughtappear to<br />
have had an impact.<br />
‘‘I can’tnail exactly what it is, but we just<br />
didn’thave the underbidders on the day.<br />
Everyone’s bulls have come throughthe<br />
drought prettywell, but you just never<br />
know withbull sales.’’<br />
‘‘It was goodlast year, but the calf market<br />
was also strong. Whereasit’s adifferent<br />
marketthis year withabit of uncertainty.<br />
Sheep are doingall right, but beef needs to<br />
pick up.’’<br />
The top price for aRichonbull on the day<br />
was just $6000,with ‘‘a few passes’’, while<br />
the Burrows family’s Beechwood Hereford<br />
stud topped the sale with $10,000.<br />
Richonand Beechwood were forced to<br />
withdraw their Herefordcows from the<br />
sale after the recentflood event damaged<br />
roads and bridges, restricting accesstothe<br />
Stokesfamily’s LeesValley property,near<br />
Oxford.<br />
Selling was just as tough up the road at<br />
Domett, near Cheviot,with Grassmere<br />
Herefords selling 11 of its 16 Hereford bulls<br />
for an averagepriceof$6545.<br />
The Jeffries family toppedthe sale with<br />
Livestock firms join forces<br />
Livestockbroking firms Hazlett and Peter<br />
Walsh &Associates(PW&A) are joining<br />
forces to become abroader, South Islandwide<br />
operation.<br />
Hazlett will acquire all of PW&A’s<br />
operations on July 1, except for Peter<br />
Walsh &AssociatesFinance (PWAF),<br />
which Peter Walsh will retain.<br />
All PW&A team members have been<br />
offered positions and, other than everyone<br />
wearing the Hazlett shirts, things are<br />
expectedtorun as they are with no<br />
disruption.<br />
The billing systems used by both<br />
companies will remain as they are, and<br />
clients will continue to deal with the same<br />
people they are dealing with now.<br />
PW&A wasestablished nearly 20 years<br />
ago and has grown to provide services to<br />
South Island farmers.<br />
Succession planning by Peter and<br />
Karen Walsh,and the PW&A Board,<br />
identified Hazlettasbeingthe company<br />
which is closest in culture and best placed<br />
to build on what the team has achieved<br />
over the years.<br />
Hazlett chairman Graham Brown says<br />
his company and PW&A already know<br />
each otherwell, having jointlydeveloped<br />
and operatedthe Coalgate Saleyards.<br />
‘‘Peter has jokinglydescribed us as<br />

Stud owner Greg Chamberlain says there<br />

buyers on the day.<br />
‘friendly competitors’.But Ithink our<br />
shared focus on people and acommitment<br />
to do the best for our clients makesthis<br />
development more of awinwin than any<br />
sort of truce,’’ Grahamsays.<br />
‘‘The two companies have mutual<br />
respect for each other, we are both familyowned,<br />
we already work well together and<br />
we are going to build on that for our<br />
clients who will enjoy the benefitsof<br />
working with acompany which operates<br />
throughout the South Island and into the<br />
<strong>North</strong>Island and whichprovides<br />
insurance, agrisupplies, funding and<br />
procurement services, as well as livestock<br />
broking.’’<br />
Hazlettwas launched in 2008 as a<br />
livestock broking service.Since then,it<br />
has extended its offering to provide<br />
insurance, agrisupplies and funding<br />
solutionstobusinesses of many types,<br />
while remainingdeeply rootedinthe<br />
rural sector.<br />
PW&A was established in 2002 by<br />
livestock brokers PeterWalsh and<br />
Hamish Lane. At the time, the pair’s<br />
experienceinthe livestock industry<br />
totalled more than four decades and their<br />
working style and reputation saw the<br />
company grow. It now has more than 30<br />

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

30 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>17</strong>, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Varied career leads to NZPork<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Maitland Manning has made<br />
the switch from sheep and<br />
cowstopigs.<br />
After avariedcareer, which<br />
has included roles with<br />
DairyNZ and Beef +Lamb<br />
New Zealand (BLNZ), Mr<br />
Manning joinedNZPork as<br />
nationalindustrysupport<br />
manager based in<br />
Christchurch last month.<br />
Mr Manninggrew up on a<br />
sheep, beef, cropping and<br />
Clydesdalefarm in the<br />
Wairarapa, completing a<br />
science degree at the<br />
University of <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Since then he has workedin<br />
project management roles for<br />
DairyNZ and the former Crop<br />
&Food Research(now Plant<br />
&Food) and was aresearch<br />
manager at BLNZ.<br />
‘‘I’ve done alittle bit of<br />
everything.The only thingsI<br />
haven’t done are poultryand<br />
arable,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘While Iknow all farms are<br />
different, Ihave an<br />
appreciationthat there are<br />
common threads. And<br />
everyone who works at the<br />
levyfunded organisations is<br />
passionate about what they do<br />
and want to do the best for<br />
their levy payers.’’<br />
Thatvariety of experiences<br />
should put Mr Manningin<br />
goodstead for his new role,<br />
which will see him work<br />
closely with New Zealand’s 93<br />
commercial pig farms to<br />
support them with advice on<br />
immigration, migrant labour,<br />
Bringing home the bacon ... Maitland Manning is enjoying his new<br />
role with NZPork.<br />

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

largest in the country.<br />

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

Kaiapoi’s defensiveeffort was<br />
particularly laudable and a<br />
major factor in restricting<br />
Prebbleton’s scoring.<br />
Loose forwards JarrodSmith<br />
and Jarred Gilmore took the<br />
leadand, though short in<br />
stature, neverstopped running<br />
and never shirkedthe tackle,<br />

winningthe <strong>Canterbury</strong>Rugby<br />
Supporters’ Club Trophy, with a<br />
handy 4524 victory over<br />
Ellesmere’s WestMelton.<br />
West Melton was in thehunt<br />
in the opening quarter, but the<br />

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

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

Kickstart <strong>Canterbury</strong> Presents Highway to Well<br />
Motorcyclists feature highly in our road crash<br />
statistics, particularly in the <strong>Canterbury</strong> area.<br />
While there are some great riding routes, wealso<br />
unfortunately have one of the highest death and<br />
serious injury rates in the country.<br />
Since 2015 sadly 44 motorcyclists have lost their<br />
lives on <strong>Canterbury</strong> roads with afurther 285<br />
seriously injured. For every one of those people it<br />
is an ongoing trauma for both families and loved<br />
ones le behind orrecovering from or adapting to<br />
the impact of serious injuries ontheir lives.<br />
Kickstart <strong>Canterbury</strong> is acollaborative effort<br />
involving Waimakariri and Selwyn District Councils,<br />
Christchurch City Council, ACC, Motorcycle Safety<br />

Ride Forever training and promote safer riding.<br />
This year Kickstart <strong>Canterbury</strong> are linking inwith<br />

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

$167,000 while still only<br />

trotter we have in the stable<br />
