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 />

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 />

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 />

New Zealand average so theyneed all the<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 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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

has been published by Bateman Books<br />

and is on sale at bookstores for $39.99.<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 />

Methodist Church on Sunday,<br />

<strong>June</strong> 27, to celebrate winter<br />

and Matariki (the Maori New<br />

Year), with songsabout snow<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 />

adults, with free admission<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 />

City choir heads to Cheviot<br />

The Knox Singers'first public<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 />

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 />

Interest deductions on residential<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 />

excellent accounting service over the<br />

years. Both Ben and Tsarina are very<br />

approachable and provide us with useful<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 />

The date aproperty is acquired<br />

determines whether the bright­line period<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 />

were more bulls on offer than registered<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 />

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 />

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 />

late in the matchbefore<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 />

Following its injurytime<br />

the game as an opportunity to<br />

do so.<br />

in the play­off for 9th place,<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 />

enterpriseofthe Oxford<br />

backline was to prove too good.<br />

Oxford was first to score,<br />

when RhetMoore ran an inside<br />

line to makeanoverlap.<br />

West Meltonresponded<br />

before Oxford’s impressive<br />

number eight Jesse Houston<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 />

Advisory Council and local Ride Forever trainers.<br />

Each year events are held to encourage uptake of<br />

Ride Forever training and promote safer riding.<br />

This year Kickstart <strong>Canterbury</strong> are linking inwith<br />

Men’sHealth Week, recognising that motorcycle<br />

riding has many benefits other than transport.<br />

Being in the right physical and mental health when<br />

riding is key to keeping safe onthe roads.<br />

Kickstart’s “Highway to Well” events are free and<br />

will have guest speakers and motorcycle safety and<br />

health information. There will also be multiple spot<br />

prizes and free nibbles throughout the evening.<br />

The event provides agreat opportunity to come<br />

together and connect with likeminded riders, and<br />

to listen to topics on motorcycle safety and riding<br />

tips, mental health and wellbeing.<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 />

finishing second in the<br />

race.<br />

Greg said it was agreat<br />

family occassion with Ben<br />

driving the winner but also<br />

great to achieve the win<br />

with Muscle Mountain, the<br />

winner of 11 races and<br />

$167,000 while still only<br />

four, because ‘‘he is the best<br />

trotter we have in the stable<br />
