After hours facility still on target 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Rangiora’safter hours facility should 

begintotake shape in January. 

The facility will provide sevenday 

urgent carefrom8am to 10pm,and will 

also house other services, including a 

pharmacyand radiology services,’ 

Aconcept design was presented to a 

public meeting in Rangiora lastweek by 

new Canterbury District HealthBoard 

(CDHB) chiefexecutive, Peter Bramley. 

Dr Bramley said the board was 

committed to providingthe facility as he 

gave an overview of healthservicesinthe 

Waimakariri. 

Health services willinclude 

maintainingbeds at Oxford Hospital,and 

resourcing the hospitaltoprovidecare for 

people closetohome. 

Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey, who 

organised the meeting, saysthe afterhours 

concept plan is ‘‘quite stunning’’. 

He says SouthLink Health has 

confirmed it plans to startconstruction in 

January. 

‘‘Unfortunately it comes at the expense 

of the Rangiora Hospitalbeing 

demolished,’’ he says. 

Dr Peter Bramley 

Dr Bramley also committedtoa 

paramedic servicefor the Waimakariri 

area. 

‘‘It is important livinginan area likethe 

Waimakariridistrict, that you have access 

to public service education or health 

services, that are comparabletopeople 

living in major urban areas,’’ says Mr 

Doocey. ‘‘Peopleshould not be penalised 

for living in rural areas.’’ 

The CDHB is keen to engage further 

with Waimakariri residents following the 

oldstyle, robust town hallmeeting, at 

whicharound200 peopleturnedout at last 

Thursday,despite the rain. 

Mr Doocey saysresidents and CDHB 

representativeswere excited about the 

levelofcommunity engagement the 

meeting provided,and whichraised not 

only concerns, but some greatideas. 

‘‘I’mthrilled that this has sparked an 

ongoing conversation the CDHB will be 

having directly withour community about 

creating wraparound services for our 

residents. 

‘‘They’ve taken the concerns that were 

raised and willbecoming back with some 

ideasthat theywill workshop directly with 

us as acommunity, and that is very 

exciting,’’ Mr Doocey says. 

‘‘This putsour residents at the heart of 

our health services. 

‘‘Many of those who attended are 

working in our communityhealth and 

agedcare sectorsinWaimakariri, and 

they were abletobring someoftheir 

concernsabout incommunity care and to 

feed those concerns through,’’ says Mr 

Doocey. 

Swimming brings happiness 


Swimming is provingtobejustthe tonic 

for ChristinePatterson. 

Christine,who has been battling 

depression for over adecade,has taken 

the plunge,and is back in the pool, which 

is proving to be agreat place to find 

solace. 

Recently she swam100 lengths of 

Rangiora’sDudley Park pool. 

Her effortswere not just for her own 

wellbeing however, but to help raise 

fundsfor aSalvation Army project, 

Embrace Fiji,aretreat for women. 

‘‘Formepersonally, through helping 

theseladies in Fiji, Ihave been helped in 

return,’’ says Christine. 

Her decision to get back in the pool has 

been life changing. 

She can now do every day jobs like 

grocery shopping, and enjoys being back 

in the garden. 

Her problems began with paininher 

feet Plantar fasciitis. 

With the pain beingsohorrific, feet 

bandaged, unabletoswim, unable to walk, 

unable to continueher lifeguard work,and 

unable to be aswim instructor,orwork at 

an elderly personshome, Louisebecame 

isolated. 

The February 2011 Christchurch 

earthquake alsotook its toll. 

‘‘With the sale of our house, and unable 

to begin our new build, it must have been 

all too muchand depressionset in. 

Once the bandages wereoff, she couldn’t

The North Canterbury News, June 24, 2021

Kaiapoi’s proposed aqua play park could 

be openbylate October. 

Watertest resultstoensurepublic 

safety, which delayed the resource 

consent process for the project due to a 

lack of rain, are now under way. 

In apresentation to Monday evening’s 

KaiapoiTuahiwiCommunity Board 

meeting, WHoW Charitable Trust trustees 

JasonMill and Tony Joseph said water 

testingresultsfollowing the May 31 flood 

eventhad come back better than expected. 

The proposed site is alake in Kaiapoi’s 

NCF Reserve, tuckedinbehindCourtenay 

Drive, in theformer residential red zone. 

The Waimakariri District Council hopes 

to begin public consultation on the project 

next week. 

Mr Millsaid the trust’s ecologist 

completed daily watertests in the days 

immediately following the flood eventand 

was pleasantly surprised at the results. 

‘‘We havecompleted watertests, depth 

testsand riparian edge tests,and we’ve 

done moretests following the flood. That 

was considered aone in ahundredyear 

floodevent and we’re not at critical levels, 

so that’s agood sign. 

‘‘We wereabit worried about the impact 

of aflush event, but it came backafterfour 

days (of testing)atbetter than it was.’’ 

Should the projectgoahead,the trust 

anticipates the aquapark would close for 

aweek,following amajorrain event, to 

allowtime for testing to ensurepublic 

safety. 

Following advicefrom Environment 

Canterbury staff, WHoW aims to do 45 

watertests, at the trust’s expense. It has 

completed aquarter of them. 

‘‘We don’t needtodoall 45 tests, but we 

want to be as diligent as possible,’’MrMill 

said. 

As part of it’s social outcomes, the trust 

is looking to engage with 88 low decile 

schools, with the pupils assistingthe 

ecologist with the testing. 

‘‘It’s providing education and 

opportunities forthe kids. We teach them 

awee bit about water ecology, bird

Seven North Canterbury schools, 

including Tuahiwi School havebeen 

invited to be part of the initiative, with the 

intention of providing the pupils with a 

free swimfor theirefforts.The trust is also 

keen to advanceits conversationswith 

Ngai Tuahuririinabid to support 

mahinga kai in the area, and already has a 

trustee fromTuahiwi. 

Should the trust be successful in 

obtaining aconsent, Mr Millisoptimistic 

the aqua playpark is on tracktoopen in 

late October and would operate for five 

months beforebeing packedaway over 

winter. It is basedonasuccessful concept 

employed at Lake Dunstan in Central 

Otagolast summer, and is intendedasa 

transitional projectfor threeyears while 

the trust works on the proposed aqua

Mr Millsaid the trust has completed a

Greater Christchurch areaand has begun 

work on its full feasibility study. 

Racecourse quarry decision due early July 


Adecision on applicationsbyTaggart 

EarthmovingLtd, to quarry gravel at the 

Rangiora Racecourse,should be known 

early next month. 

The hearing was closed on Friday, 

June 18, after the independent 

commissioners hearing the applications, 

received Taggart’s right of reply to 

submissions. 

The panel chair, Paul Rogers, says the 

parties can expect adecision‘‘on or 

about Friday,July 9’’. 

Submitterswho contactedthe North 

CanterburyNews believe Taggart’s right 

of reply minimisesconcerns raised at the 

hearing by residents, and experts. 

Theyalso feel the legal submissions 

madeonbehalf of Taggart Earthmoving 

Ltd,completely ignore many 

submissions and those who spoke at the 

hearing, apart from expertwitnesses. 

Taggart Earthmoving Ltd is proposing 

aquarrycovering 14.5hectares, with two 

hectares disturbed at atime. 

It seeks threeconsents fromECan and 

alanduse consent from the Waimakariri 

District Council, which would be active 

for 15 years. 

The proposal attracted404 

submissions, with 390 opposing it. 

Evidence was given on the first day of 

the hearing which began earlyMay, that 

the quarrywouldassist Taggart 

Earthmoving Ltd in meetingthe demand 

for aggregateinthe Waimakariridistrict 

withoutthe need for any crushing or 

screening on site. 

The hearingofthe resource consents 

was before two independent 

commissioners —chairman Mr Rogers 

and John Iseli, both of Christchurch—on 

behalf of Environment Canterbury and 

the WaimakaririDistrict Council.

Reaching out to the young 

Ayouth mentoring initiative in the

people to take part in the programme. 

Hurunui District Council’s Youth 

Development coordinator, Rebecca 

Pugh says youth between the ages of 12 

and 18 are being sought to join the 

Hurunui Youth programme. 

Early last year, aresearch project, 

focusing on Hurunui youth was 

developed by three women working in 

Youth Wellbeing Michelle Cole of 

Meaningful Health Hurunui, Sarah 

Wylie and Dr Jane Spittlehouse of the 

Collaborative Trust for Research and 

Training in Youth Development. 

They found youth mentoring in the 

district would be apositive 

experience for our local teens, leading 

to the launch of the youth mentoring 

initiative. 

“The research shows many benefits 

of amentoring partnership, such as 

improved relationship skills, increase 

in selfworth and increased sense of 

wellbeing. 

‘‘We want this for our young people 

in Hurunui,” said Rebecca. 

Rebeccas is thrilled to have 14 

mentors come forward, and is now on 

the hunt for young people to join the 

programme. 

“We would love to hear from any 

youth or their whanau who are 

interested in this awesome 

opportunity and to see if this initiative 

is the right fit for them.”

OPINION 


Around the electorate with 

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA 

Final report leaves 

many questions 

The Climate ChangeCommission has 

released its final report, and although it 

does take astep back from the Draft 

Report, it still leaves many unanswered 

questions as to how New Zealand will 

reach the netzero emissions target. 

The Commissionproposed policies 

such as subsidiesonelectricvehicles 

and taxes on some internalcombustion 

engines,which the Government 

announced last week despitepromising 

no new taxes. 

This policy will not lower emissions, 

and it mayeven drive them up, given 

that ute sales have gone through the 

roof. Unfortunately it will cost 

hardworking Kiwis, especiallythose for 

whom there are no practical EV options, 

suchasfarmers and tradies. 

We live in afree country, and we do 

not want the Nanny State tellinguswhat 

we can or can’t drive. It was galling to 

hear the PrimeMinister say that alarge 

number of ute buyers are not usingthem 

for “legitimate use”, it showsjust how 

out of touchshe is. 

We could be heading down aslippery 

slope here, the Government want to tax 

our cars now, but what’s next? 

Will we be restricted on what sized 

refrigerator we can buy? 

This is why we shouldlet the 

Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), do 

the heavy liftinghere. 

The Climate Change Commissionin 

their report said that the ETS will get us 

to net zero by 2050 with acost of $50 per 

tonne, which is very reasonable, the 

danger here is that these poorlythought 

out policies may mean we do not get 

there at all or we do at acost thatwill 

impoverish us. The ETS willallow us to 

reach our 2050 netzero emissions target 

through the least cost way. 

But most importantly it givespeople 

the choice on how they shouldreduce 

their emissions, rather than the 

Government controlling it through 

taxes. 

We need to back the marketdriven 

solution,not costly policies that put our 

country further in debt. 

KAIKŌURA VIEWS 

MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE 

People and events 

return to Kaikoura 

It was good to seesomany people 

coming to Kaikoura over the Queen’s 

Birthday weekend recently. 

The Kaikoura Bike Trails and 

Kaikoura Cold Water Classic surfing 

events were major drawcards. 

Big ups to the community who put the 

time in to make these events happen. 

Iwas really pleased to seeGina 

Solomon on the Queen’s Birthday 

honour list. 

This achievement recognises all the 

work that she has done to protect the 

environment in Kaikoura, as well as her 

commitment to conservation on a 

national level. 

Long TermPlan community hui have 

gone ahead in town, Goose Bay and 

Kekerengu. 

In general, Iwould say that we have 

had the best response to LTP meetings 

that Ihave been involved with. 

While noone ishappy with any rates 

increase and everyone has adifferent 

viewpoint, thereisarealunderstanding 

of the issues facing local government 

and most people are agreeing with the 

key proposalsthe council wants to focus 

on over the next 10 years. 

I’d really like people to makea 

submission if they agree that we should 

improve the roads andfootpaths, start 

an urban rubbish collection, support 

Destination Kaikoura and review our 

outdated District Plan. 

The submission form is online. It is 

easy to fill out. Youjust check the boxes 

and there is also space to tell us why you 

chose thisoption, and other comments 

you have on our plan for the next 10 

years. 

The Three Waters Reform shows the 

government is keen on establishing a 

small number of large newwater 

entities, instead of local councils, which 

would deliver water services to 

households and businesses. 

The next stage in theThree Waters 

Reform willbeannounced in afew 

weeks, as soon as we know more, we’ll 

pass the information on to you. 

Take care andifyou can, take some 

time to make asubmission to our LTP. 

Your submission will let us know we 

are on the right track andwill help us to 

make our final decision. 

Dear Editor, 

SinceIamstanding for 

councillor in the West ward 

of the Hurunui District 

Council it wouldbean 

opportune time to explain 

the difference between 

having ‘money’ and having 

‘wealth’. 

Moneyallows you to buy 

product, anew car,overseas 

trip etc.Ifyou don’t haveit. 

Bad luck. 

Wealth on the other hand 

relates to whatour culture 

offers its citizens. 

Examples often quoted are 

drinkablewater, swimmable 

rivers, quality education, 

roadsthat don’tneed 

constant repair,an 

environment that’sa 

pleasure to livein, and all 

sorts of things that are 

availablenomater what 

yoursocioeconomic status 

is. 

Perhaps it is easier to 

explain what wealth isn’t or 

signs or symptoms of losing 

wealth MORE taxes, crime, 

welfare, pollution, 

pornography, bureaucracy, 

or LESSresponsibility and 

productivity. 

The essentialcriteria 

councilsmust fulfil is to 

provide basic infrastructure 

for the residents to build 

wealth upon, and to use 

ratepayers taxes efficiently 

to the maximum benefits of 

everyone withinthe district. 

Yours, 

Richard ERoe BsC, DC,

Bridge to Bridge 

By SHELLEY TOPP

Stripped clean ... Looking west along the Ashley/Rakahuri River which is now clear of 

weeds and vegetation following the recent flood. 


Endangeredbirds 

benefit from flood 


The populations of endangered 

braided river birdscould increase 

thanks to the recent floodinthe 

Ashley/Rakahuri River. 

The forceofthe water has stripped 

all the weeds fromthe riverbed, 

leaving gravelislands,wherebirds 

like to nest, free of cover for predators. 

Birdssuch as the wrybill,blackfronted 

tern, and banded dotterel, 

require baregravel to nest on. 

The Ashley/Rakahuri Rivercare 

Group(ARRG)has found acorrelation 

between bird numbers and the amount 

of bare gravel. 

Afterseveralyears of no large 

floods, the beds of smallerfoothills 

fed rivers such as the Ashley, Opihi, 

and Orarihave been overwhelmed by 

weeds. 

Groupmember Grant Davey says 

wherethere weredeep braidchannels 

thereisnow high islands,and vice 

versa. 

All signsofrecent riverextraction 

has also beenerased, and the fairway 

widened, in some cases by 50 metres or 

more,hesays. 

“Almost the entire gravel bed of the 

riverseems to have been liftedupand 

movedbyflood watersresulting in a 

complete change in its morphology.’’ 

Mr Davey saysthe islands are where 

the birds prefertonest, and are safest 

from predators. Norway rats and stoats 

swim to the islands, but other 

predators such as hedgehogs and cats 

are much less likely to do so. 

David Owen, Environment 

Canterbury’s principal biodiversity 

adviser, braided rivers, says, the 

floods have presented the opportunity 

to try to keep the river relativelyweedfree. 

‘‘Left unchecked, the weeds will 

inevitably return.” 

ARRG, with regional council 

funding, had been about to 

mechanically clear 64 hectares of 

weedy islands.ARRG is now working 

on astrategy to stop the weeds growing 

again. 

The floods did hit the grouphard, 

however. It lost 100 predator traps, out 

of 400, during the floods. They were set 

along the bermofthe river and around 

the estuary, mostly tied to trees or in 

scrub, and were swept awayinthe 

raging torrent. 

AGivealittle page has been set up to 

raise funds to buy more trapsbefore 

the breeding season startsin 

September. To date over $1800 has 

beenraised.Traps cost about $50 to 

$70 each. 

Overthe past 16 years,ARRG has 

protectedan18km stretch of the river 

withtraps to eliminatepredators, 

allowing the braided river birdsto 

breedand raise chicks safely. 

Theirwork has helped the birds to 

hold their own on the Ashley and even 

increaseslightly, comparedwith 

gradual to catastrophic decline 

(dependingonthe species)on 

unprotectedrivers.Tohelp go to:

The Widest Music Variety 

The inaugural WaimakaririBridge To 

Bridge Ultra Marathon60km event 

winner Andrew Wanklyn had asharp 

reminder about New Zealand winters on 

Saturday. 

The Christchurch man had been 

workinginthe Australianmine industry, 

based at Western Australia’sShark Bay, 

but returned home afew days ago, and 

despite beingrugged up for his 

endurance run on Saturday,hewas still 

cold at the finish. 

‘‘It was 30 degrees in Shark Bay, when 

Ileft,’’hesaid. Andrew finishedthe 

60km in fivehours, nine minutesand 33 

seconds and saiditwas the longestrace 

he had ever competed in. 

The firstrunnerhome in the Bridge to 

Bridge 15kmrun, was Jakob 

Cunningham, of Oamaru, who ran the 

distancein19minutes and 28 seconds. 

His stepfather, Mark Esselink, of 

Oamaru won the 30km event, finishing 

the distancein2hours10minutes and 55 

seconds. 

The UltraMarathon included four 

events —the 60km Ultra Marathon 

starting at the WaimakaririGolf Club, 

the 30kmevent from Downs Rd, the 15km 

event, starting at HarrsRd, and the 5km, 

starting at WaimakaririRiver Park. All 

finishedinRaven Quay in Kaiapoi. 

The eventwas was organised by Carol 

and John MooreofCJM’S Events and was 

born from the Waimakariri Bridge to 

Bridge MountainBike Race,which was 

held in even more winteryweather on 

Sunday, using the same routes. 

`‘‘Saturday was afantastic day, perfect 

for running,’’ Carolsaid. ‘‘`Sundaywas a 

little bit damp, actuallyquite wet at 

times, but the ridersloved it (judging by) 

the smiles on everyone’s face as they 

crossed the finish line. Ithink it brought

Satisfaction from helping others 

VOLUNTEER WEEK 

By LOUISE LEITCH 

Volunteering is away of life 

for Norman Maindonald. 

He has dedicated more than 

40 years of service to the 

community in Christchurch, 

and more recently, North 

Canterbury. 

The Rangiora resident, who 

volunteers with Community 

Wellbeing North Canterbury 

Trust as aRestorative Justice 

panellist, says volunteering 

gives him asatisfaction that 

nothing else does. 

Aselfprofessed jack of all 

trades, masterofnone, 

Norman held variousjobs in 

Christchurch, including arole 

as manager at Smiths City, 

before becoming South Island 

sales representative for 

Masport. 

‘‘I was happily married, with 

two children. Ihad agreat job 

but Iwas too comfortable, says 

Norman. 

‘‘My prayer was, if Ican do 

something more productive, 

let me know.’’ 

Normanbelieves his prayer 

was answeredwhen aserious 

car accident in 1984 left him 

with afracturedskull and 

unable to resume his job. Once 

he had recovered sufficiently 

he poured himself into prison 

ministry,avoluntary role he 

had begun while employed 

fulltime. 

When Norman began 

working with men at Rolleston 

Prison, some 41 years ago, his 

wife Shirley, while supportive 

of her husband’s decision, 

Volunteer week .. . Norman Maindonald says he gets 

‘‘tremendous satisfaction’’ from volunteering. 

PHOTO: COMMUNITY WELLBEING NORTHCANTERBURY TRUST 

stated categorically thatshe 

did not want to be involved. 

‘‘But three years later, she 

was more involved in the 

ministry than Iwas,’’ says 

Norman. 

The couple took prison 

inmates into their home for 

what was known as 72 hour 

parole, part of aprogramme to 

help prisoners nearing their 

time for release to transition 

successfully back into society. 

‘‘They were often men from 

the North Island without any 

whanau locally to support 

them, says Norman. We would 

feed them, talk with them. 

Shirley and Imust have had 

dozens of prisoners through 

our home.’’ 

Norman grew up in Kurow, 

NorthOtago and describes his 

parents as straight up and 

down good people. 

‘‘I was brought up to abide 

by the rules because Ihad 

parents who cared for me, 

loved me, but not everyone’s 

so fortunate,’’ says Norman. 

‘‘I get tremendous 

satisfaction from helping 

someone who has been in a 

heap of trouble to turn their 

life around and have hope for 

the future.’’ 

It was Norman’s work with 

offenders that in 2003, led 

Deirdre Ryan, now manager of 

Community WellbeingNorth 

Canterbury Trust, to invite 

Norman to join apilot 

Community projects benefit 

Twentysix community 

projects have been 

supported by the Kaikoura 

District Council totalling 

$55,000 over the last year. 

The Creative 

Communities scheme has 

contributed $22,000,while 

the CommunityInitiative 

Fund added$15,000 and the 

Sports New Zealand Rural 

Travel Fund has provided 

$13,380 forthe community. 

‘‘It’s great to see the range 

of different projects that 

have received funding,from 

art classes and sports 

equipment through to the 

development of amarine 

mammal app,’’ community 

services manager Susi 

Haberstock says. 

‘‘These initiatives 

highlight the skilland 

energy withinour 

community.’’ 

The Creative 

Communities fund 

supported the 48 Hours in 

Kaikouraphoto exhibition, 

art classes for adults and 

tamariki,the Kaikoura Arts 

Trailwebsitetopromote 

artists in the district and 

Zoetrope drawing classes in 

schools. 

Funding has alsobeen 

made available for two 

murals, an art book, an 

exhibition, the Kaikoura 

Talent Quest, the Kaikoura 

Children’s Choir, 

Inspiration Container Lego 

exhibition and Re(start) Art 

workshops. 

Art class ... Rosvita Haas teaches an art class to local 

school children, funded by the Creative Communities fund. 

The council’s Community 

Initiative Fund supported a 

magician’s performance in 

the Kaikoura Hospital Rest 

Home, asummer holiday 

reading programme, the 

Great Kaikoura Whale 

Count andTinkertime,a 

monthly activity programme 

for over65s. 

The fundhas also 

supported the development 

of arange of Maori 

resources to be utilised 

acrossarange of projects 

including performance and 

the development of a

The George Low Trust 

Fund has been running for 

more than 40 yearsto

youth, and it has funded 

hockey equipment at 

Kaikoura High School, 

swim equipmentfor the 

Kaikoura AquaticCentre, 

which is under 

construction, the Kaikoura 

NetballCentre’s junior 

umpire programme and the 

Korora schoolholiday 

programme. 

The council 

acknowledges the efforts of 

volunteers who sit on the 

community grant boards 

and go through the 

applications. 

Restorative Justice service, 

that was being developed in 

North Canterbury by Safer 

Communities Council with the 

help of Rangiora Police. 

Afounding Restorative 

Justice North Canterbury 

panellist, Norman is now 

approaching 18 years as a 

volunteer with what was 

named the Turnaround 

Programme, now known as the 

North Canterbury Police 

Diversions Panel. 

Restorative Justice North 

Canterbury, run by 

CommunityWellbeing North 

Canterbury Trust, provides an 

opportunity for victims to talk 

to offenders and say how their 

lives have been affected by the 

offenders’ actions. 

Participation is voluntary, in a 

facilitated conversation 

between offenderand victim. 

‘‘Victims can be reluctantto 

take part in arestorative 

justice conference initially,’’ 

says Norman, ‘‘but afterwards 

they often say it was the best 

thing that could have 

happened.’’ 

Losing Shirleyseven years 

ago, after 50 years of marriage, 

has been difficult, but Norman 

remainsaspassionate about 

helping peopleasthe day he 

began his voluntary service. 

‘‘Life isn’t about being abig 

shot. Being the wealthiest, 

most influential person 

around doesn’t mean athing, 

that’s just egotism’’, says 

Norman. 

‘‘We’re here to help others 

and if Ican do something to 

genuinely help someone else, 

why wouldn't I?’’.

Passion for baking bread 


Two Rangiora apprentice 

bakers are bucking the 

nationaltrend of attracting 

youngpeople into the 

baking profession. 

The earlystarts put many 

youngpeople offtraining to 

become bakers. 

However, Johnny 

Murchison (20) and Nicole 

Young(19), who bothwork 

at the awardwinning 

Percival Street Bakeryin 

Rangiora are both 

passionate about their 

career choice, despitethe 

earlystarts. 

Both Johnny and Nicole 

admitgetting to work early 

is tough,particularlyfor 

Nicolewho is anatural 

night owl, but they say 

seeinghow much customers 

enjoy the bread and other 

food they make more than 

compensates. 

Wayne Rewi, the head 

baker at Percival Street 

Bakery, says bakingbread is 

his passionand he is lucky 

to havetwo such talented 

apprentices working with 

him. 

‘‘It is hardtoattract 

young,enthusiastic people 

into the bakingprofession, 

but both Johnny and Nicole 

are alsopassionate about 

bakingand bread making, so 

we are fortunatetohave 

Kaikoura 

eerily quiet 

‘‘Reality is startingtokick in,’’ says 

Kaikoura Mayor Craig Mackle. 

As winter setsinand with no 

international tourists for 15 months, 

the towniseerily quiet. 

‘‘Hopefully it will pick up abit 

nextmonth with the school 

holidays.Last winterwas pretty 

amazing,’’ Mr Mackle says. 

‘‘I think it comes downtoadapting 

to the new environment and some 

businesses havedone really well, 

but you’ve got other businesses who 

are dependent on touristsand they 

can’t adapt so easily.’’ 

The North Canterbury Transport 

InfrastructureRecovery alliance’s 

finalproject, at Peketaand the 

Parititahi Tunnels, south of 

Kaikoura, is coming to end. 

But there is causefor optimism,as 

Kaikoura’sMayor’s Taskforce for 

Jobshas exceeded its targets. More 

than 50 people were placed in jobs 

in its first six monthsand funding 

has been secured for another year. 

‘‘There’s been ahell of alot of 

people put into work and they’ve 

evendirected peoplewheretogo, 

evenifthey fall outsidethe criteria, 

so they’re stillhelpingthem which 

is good to see.’’ 

Statistics from the Ministry of 

Social Developmentshows there 

were66Kaikoura residents on a 

Jobseeker’s Benefit at the end of 

May.This is the same number as 

May 2020.InMay, 2019 therewere 

27. ‘‘Unemployment is about half 

whatitcould have been and 

hopefully we will get that lower too, 

butyou’ve got to have the work to be 

able to offerthe employment,’’ Mr 

Mackle says.

Johnny is in charge of 

caring for the bakery’s four 

bread starters, which all 

havenames.They include 

the oldest, Boris, which 

turns 10 in November. 

Nicole,who is gluten free, 

specialises in makingthe 

bakery’s large range of 

glutenfreeproducts. 

Wayne saysthere is 

somethingspecial about 

baking bread. 

‘‘There is justsomething 

about it. It is not the same 

every day.Little thingssuch 

as temperature play abig

justanyone can pick it up, 

you have to wanttolearn it.’’

Speed limits to be reviewed 

Speed continues to be ahot topic in the 

Oxford area. 

Earlier this month the OxfordOhoka 

Community Board signed off areport 

seeking to consult with the community on 

proposed speed limit reviews on roads in 

and around the board’s area. 

Top of the list is Oxford’s Main Street, 

with several residents keen to see the 

speed limit reduced to 40kph. 

‘‘It’s been ahot topic in Oxford for 

quite awhile,’’ board chairperson Doug 

Nicholl says. 

‘‘We’ve been given the proposed new 

speed limits and there’s afew other 

roads we thought should be included. 

‘‘We’re asking for a40kph speed limit 

on Main Street (Oxford) as residents have 

been asking us to do something about it. 

Whether we get what we want is a 

different story.’’ 

Roads under review include the north 

and west Oxford Town entrances, at 

Ohoka township and Mill Road from 

Ohoka to Kaiapoi. 

Significant population growth and the 

expansion of urban areas over recent 

years means the existing speed limits in 

some areas are no longer appropriate, 

council staff said in areport to this 

month’s board meeting. 

Staff propose reducing the speed limit 

through Ohoka from 70kph to 60kph and 

down to 80kph on the eastern end of Mill 

Road. 

The board considered the 

recommendations made by staff and 

included additional locations in 

response to concerns raised about speed. 

Speed bumps ... The Waimakariri District 

Council will review speed limits in Oxford 

and Ohoka. 

PHOTO: FILE 

These will now be considered in a 

report to the council next month and the 

public will be invited to give feedback 

during September and October. 

‘‘We want to do everything we can to 

make our roads safer, and making sure 

speed limits are suitable helps to reduce 

the risk of serious injury or worse,’’ Mr 

Nicholl says. 

‘‘There is always high interest in speed 

limits and the public consultation is an 

opportunity for people to let us know 

what they think and have their say.’’ 

Cemetery policy unveiled 

By DAVIDHILL 

Waimakariri’s newcemeterypolicy is 

expected to tidy up ‘‘afew grey 

areas’’. 

The WaimakaririDistrictCouncil 

adoptedanew cemetery policy at its 

meeting earlier this month, 

introducingnew rulesaround the 

prepurchaseofgravesites. 

The newpolicy allowsresidentsto 

prepurchaseone plotfor their 

exclusive use, butalsorequires the 

council to review it every 10 years. 

‘‘It’s alot more complicatedthan 

people think,’’Deputy Mayor Neville 

Atkinson says. 

‘‘Ifyou buy aplot for yourchildren, 

it might not be used for 60 years and 

then we run the riskofrunningout of 

room in our cemeteries,but there’sa 

wholelot of empty plots. 

‘‘Thequestionwas asked:‘what if 

peoplewanted to go and buyalot of 

plotsand speculate on them’. So 

there’s gottobeasensible 

compromisetopeople owning plots.’’ 

Thenew rules shouldprevent the 

risk of speculation, with individuals 

only able to prepurchase oneplot for 

theirexclusive use. 

Singleplots canbereservedfor 10 

years and will be subject to arevalidationbefore 

the 10 years is up to 

determine if theplot is still required. 

Thenew policygives effect to the 

newcemetery strategy adopted by the 

council in October lastyear.

Santa is coming to town 

By DAVID HILL 

Kaiapoi and Rangiora stand 

readytoextendthe 

Christmas spirit to 

Christchurch. 

The two townslook set to 

benefit after the 

cancellation of the 

Christchurch Santa Parade 

for thesecondyear running. 

Kaiapoi Promotions 

Association (KPA) 

chairperson Martin 

Pinkham and his Rangiora 

Promotions counterpart 

Ross Ditmer saytheir 

organisationsare gearing 

up for an extra influx of 

visitors for their respective 

Santaparades. 

The river town is first out 

of the blocks on Saturday, 

December4,followed by 

Rangiora on Sunday, 

December12. 

‘‘Kaiapoi is more than 

happytostep up to fill the 

void,’’ Mr Pinkham says. 

‘‘We arewell underway 

with our planning and we 

are about to callfor 

registrations. 

‘‘We were very pleased 

with the turnout last year 

and we estimated that 25 

percent of the peoplewere 

from northChristchurch, so 

hopefully we will get more 

this year.’’ 

Therewere arecord 120 

floats entered in last year’s 

KaiapoiSanta Parade, up 

from80in 2019,and it was 

watched by up to 6000 

people. 

KPA is planning to stick to 

Christmas magic ... Santa Claus is coming to town in 

Kaiapoi and Rangiora this December.

the sameexpanded route it 

adopted last year,starting at 

1.30pm on the corner of 

Charles and Jones streets, 

near Kaiapoi New World, 

continuing south along 

Williams Street and 

finishing at HiltonStreet,in 

the reserveopposite 

Countdown. 

The KaiapoiSanta 

Parade willonce again be 

complemented by amain 

street marketinWilliams 

Street in the morningand 

the Christmascarnivalheld 

in the Hilton Street reserve 

throughoutthe day. 

WhileRangiora 

Promotions is yet to begin 

preparations, Mr Ditmer 

says his organisation willbe 

looking to replicate last 

year’ssuccessfulevent. 

‘‘It’sareal shamefor 

Christchurch as it’ssuch an 

iconicevent,’’ he says. 

‘‘For Rangiora 

Promotions, our catchment 

is North Canterbury, but if 

we can get people out from 

Christchurch to come and 

spend sometime here it’sa 

win for the townand it puts 

Rangiora on the map.’’ 

He says last year’s Santa 

paradewas Rangiora’s 

biggest and he expects to 

stick to the same route 

which was expanded last 

year to copewith the 

increased demand. 

Once again,the Rangiora 

Santa Paradewill be 

followed by Party in the 

Park in Victoria Park.

BERNARD WHIMP 

One of the things that 

attracted metothe 

Australian share market 

was that I’d watch these 

companies that at some point 

during ayear would end uptrading 

at twice the price they had traded 

at, atsome other time ofthe year 

and itseemed incredible (and full 

of possibilities) tomethat there 

could besomething like 100% 

variance in the value of amajor 

business over 12months orso. 

Youdon’t usually find this 

variance in any other asset 

class, but you can imagine how 

much money could bemade if, 

for instance, houses and farms 

changed hands at half their 

realistic value at some point of the 

year. 

In no time at all you’d get onto 

the idea ofbuying them attheir 

low point and selling at the high 

point and making afortune, 

you might well not bother to do 

anything else inlife, you’d be 

making lots ofmoney and having a 

good time. Well, that’s how Isee 

the share market. 

If you can find asmooth and 

repetitive way toturn $1into 

$2 and then doitonalarge 

scale (share markets offer this 

opportunity) then the chances are, 

you’re likely toprosper. 

Advertising Feature 

Of course, you’ve got to know 

what to buy, when to buy it 

and how much to pay for it. To 

be successful you have to be 

incredibly selective and capable of 

forming aview ofwhat acompany 

is worth. You’ve got toassemble 

acalm, analytical understanding 

where you’re unaffected by 

the market ‘noise’ that always 

surrounds companies and share 

prices. 

It never ceases to amaze methe 

cheap assets (company shares) 

to be had from share markets, 

companies that will be worth, 2, 3 

or 4times as much as you paid for 

them in afew short years. Nothing 

else I’ve ever come across offers 

such opportunity, so often, at such 

discounted prices. 

Then there’s the liquidity (that’s 

the ability to buy and sell these 

assets). The liquidity is fantastic, 

you’re not locked intoowning 

anything. If you like what you’ve 

bought you can add toitany day 

of the working week bytapping 

on akeyboard. If you decide you 

don’t like it, you can sell itaseasily 

as you bought it. Inthis business 

Ilike tosay that you never have 

aproblem because if you own 

something and your view changes, 

you just sell it all inthe morning, 

problem gone!

Traditionally ahedge fund 

usually referred to atype of

the investment firm believes

expression ‘hedge fund’ has

An important partofthe annual 

calendar is the transition period. 

This occurs from three weeks before 

calving to three weeks after calving,as 

the cowtransitionsfrom the dry period 

to the milking herd. 

The transition periodiskey for the 

health of adairyherd. 

During this time,cows can suffer 

metabolicdisorders suchasketosis, 

milk fever, fattyliver, as well as other 

health issueslike retained placenta and 

displaced abomasum. 

All of these can haveamassiveeffect 

on the subsequent performance of the 

cow for the rest of thelactation.Itis 

easytoset dry cowsaside and deem 

themunimportant untilthey become 

the “money makers”again. 

However, maintaining balanced 

rations andbestmanagement practices 

before calving are criticaltohow well 

the cow performsinthe first60days of 

lactation. 

It cannotbeemphasisedenough that 

a cow’s lactationdoes notbeginat 

calving,but starts at theend of the 

previous lactation. 

It is well to focusonslow body 

condition gaintoreachthe targeted 

weight at dry off time. Withinthree 

weeks of calving,acow’simmune 

systembecomes depressed. It is vital to 

maintain drymatter intake at this time. 

Nutrientrequirementsofthe foetus 

continuetoincrease three weeks 

prepartum, yet drymatterintake (DMI) 

decreasesby10to30percent. 

Maintaining feed intake priortocalving 

can impact feed intake after calving 

whenenergy demandsare high andthe 

amount of feedconsumed directly 

correlatestomilk production.

WINTER FARM MAINTENANCE 

Winter feed crops damaged 

Flooddamaged winter feed crops pose 

challenges for farmers this winter. 

Beef+Lamb New Zealand has joined 

forces withPGGWrightson Seed’s 

veterinary nutritionist Charlotte Westwood 

and extensionagronomist nutritionist 

Wayne Nichol to offersome advice. 

Farmers are encouraged to complete a 

feedbudget,prioritising waterdamaged 

crops, retransitioning stock back on to 

crops, andpaying extra attention to 

ongoing crop health, stock health, feed 

allocations,and personaland staff safety. 

Withupdated feed budgets, farmers can 

factor in potential losses of winter crops, 

damaged pasture and supplementary feed. 

‘‘Itpays to be ruthless. Waterdamaged 

supplementary feed may not be suitablefor 

feeding,’’ theysaid. 

‘‘Reassess crops for dry matter yield now, 

and again later in winter, as plants may be 

lostdue to disease or thecrop may stop 

growing due to alack of plantavailable 

nitrogen in the soil.’’ 

Review the extent of the damageona 

paddockbypaddock basis and assess 

infrastructure damage. 

Troughs may need cleaning if 

contaminated by floodwaters and may 

need‘‘footing material’’ if surrounding soil 

is verywet. 

Check if kale crops are stillstanding or 

beenwashed away, whether swede,turnip 

and fodder beet crops are still anchored 

and whether or not theyare covered in silt. 

Monitorcrops regularly over the coming 

weeks to assess plant survival, dry matter 

yield and thefeed budget. 

‘‘Damagetocropsfrom floodwaters 

depends on how longthe crop was under 

water. Longer than 48 hours means the 

cropisatrisk of soil oxygen depletion with 

reducedoxygen available to the roots, 

increasing the risk of plant loss,’’ they said. 

Mud andsilt thatcover bulb crops and 

kalestems may increase the risk of fungal 

and bacterialplant diseases. 

Feed budgets ... Winter feed is going to 

pose some challenges. 

PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP 

‘‘Stockare lesslikely to eat cropscovered 

in silt, so expect feedintakes to be lower. 

‘‘Considercontaminants thatmay be 

risky to stock and staff. Crops and 

supplementaryfeed could be contaminated 

with overflow from septic tanks,storeof 

agricultural chemicals or fertiliser.’’ 

Once paddocks are dry enough to access, 

restoring power and infrastructure is a 

priority. 

Cattle need to be breakfed on all winter 

feed, but wait until conditions underfoot 

are suitablefor grazing. 

‘‘Retransition stock back to winter crop, 

evenifstock was fully transitioned before 

the floods. Thisisespecially important for 

cattle grazing fodder beet,’’they said. 

There are several potential animal 

health risks to stockgrazing floodedcrop 

areas, includingclostridial disease,footrot 

and hoofdamage, contaminants in flood 

water, and copper deficiency. Excessive 

ingestionofmud and soil during and 

following flood events may result in longertermcopper 

deficiency.

Damage adds to woes 

By DAVID HILL 

North Canterbury farmers are taking 

stock of flood damage, as it adds to their 

winter maintenance workloads. 

Canterbury Rural Advisory Group 

chairperson Winton Dalley says the 

extent of the repair bill from the recent 

flood event will not be known for 

sometime, but the damage varies for 

different parts of the region. 

While MidCanterbury and Selwyn 

farmers appear to have born the brunt of 

the damage, farmers in the Ashley and 

Okuku River catchments were severely 

impacted and there are pockets of 

damage throughout North Canterbury. 

‘‘There’s more damage in Selwyn and 

MidCanterbury, but we don’t want to 

minimise the damage for North 

Canterbury, which was still severe in 

some areas. 

‘‘For those in North Canterbury who 

are affected, it’s just as bad as anywhere 

else.’’ 

The Canterbury Rural Advisory Group 

has prepared areport to the government 

which attempts to give some estimate of 

the likely costs to North Canterbury 

farmers in the hope more funding will be 

made available. 

‘‘There’s no dollars around what the 

cost will be yet. Insurance assessments 

are still being carried out and there’s an 

unknown around the uninsurable 

infrastructure and it’s unknown what 

government assistance could yet be 

provided,’’ Mr Dalley says. 

‘‘We can’t send the message that there 

is anything coming, but in past events 

there has been support available, so we 

are still talking to the government.’’ 

North Canterbury farms face repairs to 

fences, laneways, access roads, culverts, 

land washed away, gravel and silt over 

the top of land damage, and water 

damage to houses and farm buildings. 

There is also infrastructure damage to 

roads, bridges, culverts and other council 

infrastructure. 

In the Waimakariri district the worst 

affected areas including Lees Valley, 

Okuku, Loburn and some areas near the 

coast. 

‘‘Some of the farm damage is severe, 

particularly in the Lees Valley and 

around Okuku and Loburn there’s some 

devastated wee properties.’’ 

In the Hurunui district there are small 

pockets of infrastructure and farm 

damage, Mr Dalley says. 

‘‘For most Hurunui farmers, the effects 

of the drought are still of concern given 

what is still ahead of us. 

‘‘The rain has been hugely beneficial, 

but it doesn’t take away the short term 

issue of feed supply. That will still be an 

issue right through to spring time. 

‘‘If we continue to have amild winter 

most farmers could get some growth, but 

if we have severe weather then the 

situation would become more 

concerning.’’ 

The Hurunui Adverse Events Group is 

continuing to monitor and respond to the 

ongoing effects of the drought.

Final awaits Waikari pupils 

By DAVID HILL 

Waikari School’s year 78 pupils never 

imagined they would be preparing for 

next week’s national AgriKids final in 

Christchurch. 

The small North Canterbury rural 

school had never competed in the annual 

competition before, ahead of the Tasman 

region contest held at the Sheffield A&P 

Show in March. 

The school has just eight year 78 

pupils, so ayear 6pupil was enlisted so 

the school could enter three teams of 

three. 

All three teams qualified for the final 

raceoff of seven teams at the regional 

contest, with Kool Keas placing second 

and Klassic Keas third to qualify for the 

national final alongside regional winners 

Karetu Kids, of North Loburn School. 

‘‘They work very well as teams. They’ve 

all got strengths, so it’s about working 

together and working out each other’s 

strengths and planning accordingly,’’ 

Waikari School years 48 teacher Debra 

Lydon says. 

‘‘The younger kids are all keen to get 

involved next year. They see it as 

something exciting for the older kids, so 

this is just the beginning.’’ 

The two teams are ‘‘getting really 

excited’’ ahead of the national final and 

look forward to wearing their new team 

uniforms, which have been prepared for 

the event thanks to local sponsorship. 

‘‘It’s going to be quite abig event. It’s 

hard to anticipate what it’s going to be 

like, because we haven’t been there 

before, but being close to home we will 

have lots of friends and family coming to 

support us,’’ Debra says. 

In preparation for the event, the 

Waikari teams have been learning about 

electric fences, weeds, types of wool, 

shearing tips, types of farm animals, 

different soil types, tying knots, different

Kaiapoi, Saracens win away 

RUGBY 

By LINDSAY KERR,PETER

It was normal duty for Kaiapoi 

and Saracens when play 

resumed in the North 

Canterbury LuisettiSeeds 

division one rugby competition 

on Saturday. 

Kaiapoihad to workhard to 

beat Ohoka2315, while

However, the home side 

certainlydidn’t sense this and 

displayed acourageous 

defensive effort in keeping 

Kaiapoi scoreless for the 

remaining half. 

Although down at the break 

73, momentum had shifted to 

the home side. Two 

consecutive triestoCodey 

Grimes and NacaniellNamata 

gave Kaiapoi much needed 

momentumat213. Ohoka 

clawed its way back closing the 

margin to 2115 through tries to 

wing,George Wiggins,and 

prop,TobiasPulley. Kaiapoi 

was rewardedwith apenalty 

on fulltime to close out the 

match2415. Its loose forward 

duo of Jared Smith and Jared 

Gilmore were momentous 

around the park, whileOhoka’s

Parking Strategy. 

ABOUT AN 

AQUA PLAY PARK 

With Waimakariri expected togrow from 65,000 

people toalmost 100,000 by 2048, we will need 

to carefully think about how we manage public 

car parking in the future. 

We’re encouraging people to share their 

thoughts and experiences with parking. Your 

feedback will help usunderstand how people are 

currently parking, what the community views as 

key issues and gather ideas on how wemight 

build, manage and fund an increased parking 

supply for the future. 

The parking survey is open for feedback until 

Sunday 4July and can be completed online at 

waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk

Contractors and Council staff assessed roads and 

infrastructure following the rain over the weekend. 

There was surface flooding across parts of the 

District and debris where flooding has receded on 

many roads. 

The rain has raised river levels through Lees Valley 

and contractors continue working to repair the 

slips and provide 4WD access to residents. The 

road remains closed.

Winning team ... Rangiora Hockey Club’s division one men’s team on the way to awin over their southern 

visitors. 


Mid Canterbury toppled 

HOCKEY 

Rangiora Hockey Club's division 

one men's team took home the 

points in ahard fought win against 

Mid Canterbury at MainPower 

Hockey Turf. 

Neither team was able to break a 

nilall deadlockuntil late in the 

third quarter when Tom Flavell 

found away through the southern 

visitor'sdefence. He then took 

advantage of alucky bounce to beat 

the keeper. 

Asecond goal from apenalty 

corner early in the last quarterto 

Lachlan Millergave Rangiora 

some breathing room. Mid 

Canterbury's reply goal was too 

little, too late. 

Heavy rain Sunday afternoon 

made for challenging conditions 

for Rangiora's Superleague 

Championshipteams. 

The Colts and Oddfellowswere 

almost swimming in their Knock 

Out Cup deadrubberagainst each 

other won easily by the Colts in 

the end but it was more about 

which team adapted to the 

conditions best. 

RangioraPiwakawaka were 50 

down against Southern United 

when they decided to abandon the 

game in the face of heavy rain and 

surface flooding. 

Meanwhile Rangiora Korimako 

couldn't find rhythm against a 

more physicalWaikirikiri Tuis, 

and despite improving through the 

game couldn't find the goal needed 

to boostits confidence. 

In the mid week competition the 

Rangiora Hurunui Hares secured 

a21 win,thanks to goalkeeper 

Eira BeverleyStone who had her 

best game of the seasontodeny 

Carlton Redcliffs an equaliser. 

The Rangiora HurunuiHawks 

dominated in its bottom of the 

table clash with SouthernUnited 

with five different players getting 

on the score card. 

The men's Ateam scored a 

lacklustrewin against bottomof 

the table Waikirikiri, while the 

RangioraAllsorts had chances 

against askilful HinemoaKaiapoi 

Kauri team but couldn't buy agoal 

in the end. Three goals in the last 

quarter by Kauri blew out what 

was until then arespectablescore.
