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
By ROBYN BRISTOW
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

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

Her problems began with paininher

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.

keen to advanceits conversationswith
Ngai Tuahuririinabid to support

Should the trust be successful in
obtaining aconsent, Mr Millisoptimistic
the aqua playpark is on tracktoopen in

Racecourse quarry decision due early July
By ROBYN BRISTOW
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

Ayouth mentoring initiative in the

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

opportunity and to see if this initiative
is the right fit for them.”

OPINION
6 The North Canterbury News, June 24, 2021
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.

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.

Endangeredbirds
benefit from flood
By ROBYN BRISTOW
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

Shake up of quake-prone buildings
Anew nationalsystemfor
councils to manage
earthquakeprone buildings
comesinto effect on July 1.
Changes to theBuilding Act
also give councils the
opportunity to identify
buildings theysuspect might be
earthquake prone.
The system uses three profile
categories —anunreinforced
masonary building;apre1976
building, three or more storeys
or 12 metres or greater in
height above the lowest ground
level; or apre1935buildings,

Floods put stopbanks to the test
By SHELLEY TOPP
The importance of stopbanks was highlighted
duringthe recentNorth Canterburyregionwide

says.
‘‘Althoughthe bulk of therainfall in theregionwideflood

‘‘Overallweare reallypleased withhow the

‘‘Thisisanother reminder that our flood

‘‘Inthe Ashley River at thegorge, thiswas the

An assessor will start
inspectingfrom nextMonday
reviewing buildings thathave
met one or more of the three
criteria.
“We have carried out a
desktop study of over 1000
buildings which has helped us
identify what buildingsneed to
be looked at, but it will likely be
lessthan five percent of
properties affected across the
whole district once we have
carried out the inspections.”
Inspections will takeuptosix
months. Letterswillthen be

“This is all about providing a

‘‘Earthquake strengthening
work can vary in cost, from
$30,000toseveralmillion.”
There is no costtothe

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.

school children, funded by the Creative Communities fund.

magician’s performance in
the Kaikoura Hospital Rest
Home, asummer holiday

Great Kaikoura Whale
Count andTinkertime,a
monthly activity programme
for over65s.

and go through the
applications.

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
By SHELLEY TOPP
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.
them.’’
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
partinthe perfect loaf.Not
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.

Kaiapoi Promotions
Association (KPA)

up for an extra influx of
visitors for their respective
Santaparades.
The river town is first out

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

‘‘It’sareal shamefor

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.

health advice specific to your animals and

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
Saracens comfortably
accounted for Ashley 290.

Both sides started with
intent.
Ohokastruck first with a
penalty to Scott Allin. Kaiapoi
was able to regroupquickly
and pressure the Ohoka
defencewhich gaveKaiapoi its
firstconverted try to second

and asense of inevitability
creptacross the home crowd.
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
Bernard Ryan, Sam Powell
and Tom Taylor were
industrious. S

Played at the Loburn
Domain, wherethe large
crowd was also supporting
Ashley’s breast cancer appeal,
thefirst20minutes showed
littledifference between the
teams. With apenalty count
heavily favouring Saracens,
thehome teamspent much of
itstime defending.

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.
