Lamenting the loss of Christchurch villas<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

The Fool’s Dinner is giving visitors to the<br />

HurunuiLibraryinAmberley, plenty to<br />

dineout on.<br />

Thirteen oil paintings of guestsand the<br />

hostofadinner party,hanging on theeast<br />

walloflibrary, are curiously funny.<br />

But the story behindthe exhibitionand<br />

whatpromptedlocal artistJean Laming<br />

to paint them,isanythingbut.<br />

Irritated by whatshe saw as ‘‘developer<br />

greed’’in ridding theChristchurch<br />

landscape of beautifulold homes and<br />

spacious sprawlingurban gardens,she<br />

was promptedtoput paint brush to<br />

canvastotellher story.<br />

EachcaricatureatThe Fools Dinner has<br />

astory, starting withthe real estate agent<br />

who has thrown theparty for acollection<br />

of society —some withbeautiful old<br />

homes,the Man of theCloth,who keeps his<br />

friendthe developer informed of dying<br />

parishioner’savailableproperty,while<br />

the Lady SmokingaCigarette isn’tgoingto<br />

sell, but the foodand wine made it<br />

worthwhile going to the dinner.<br />

Jean, whofor thepast fouryears has<br />

beenanAmberley resident,and ‘‘loves’’<br />

the rural village, became angry at the<br />

desecrationofbeautifulold homes when<br />

she lived in Christchurch severalyears<br />

go.<br />

She chose to liveinastreet surrounded<br />

by lovelyold villasand ‘‘incredible’’<br />

gardens. Butmany were now gone,<br />

bulldozedbypropertydevelopers, and<br />

replaced by ‘‘four horrendous’’<br />

townhouses on oneoccasion.<br />

‘‘It is kind of sad,’’ saysJean.<br />

Jean began painting when shewas<br />

‘‘very small’’.<br />

At 14 shewon the Tauranga Art Society<br />

prize,twice,The Auckland StarArt Prize,<br />

as wellasseveral otherawards.<br />

Thethen Curatorofthe Auckland<br />

Gallery, Eric Westbrook,suggested she<br />

should go to studyinthe United Kingdom.<br />

ButJean got sidetracked and spent some<br />

years in Australia,meeting Sam<br />

Fulbrook, thewinner of the prestigious<br />

Archibald and WynnePrizes.<br />

He became hermentoruntil she finally<br />

leftfor England.<br />

She boughtahouse in Spain where she<br />

lived formanyyears, andtravelled<br />

Boutique gin captures Kaikoura<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Agin distillery, tucked awayinthe<br />

foothills of Mt Fyffe,iscapturing the<br />

spiritofthe Kaikoura region.<br />

Woolshed and Shearwater Gin,are<br />

tantalisingtastebuds with locally<br />

foraged botanics from the slopes of Mt<br />

Fyffe,the Kaikoura mountain range,<br />

and the coastline.<br />

Justine Schroder’ssmall batch<br />

artisan gin has not only captured the<br />

imagination of the many people now<br />

buyingitonline, but was also<br />

recognisedatthe New Zealand Spirits<br />

AwardsinAuckland lastweekend.<br />

Justine who launches her gin today<br />

(Thursday, <strong>July</strong> 1), in Kaikoura, won the<br />

Long story short New ZealandEmerging<br />

Product award.<br />

She really only attended the awards<br />

to network, as her gin she distills in a<br />

littleworkshopontheir Mt Fyffe farm,<br />

had barely gone on the market.<br />

‘‘It was amazingtowin. There were52<br />

entries,’’ says Justine.<br />

She begansearching for something to<br />

turn her handto, having given up her<br />

job as amidwife after her children<br />

arrived.<br />

‘‘I couldn’tdooncall work becauseof<br />

the kids, and Ihad been searching for<br />

thingsfarmers can do to diversifyonthe<br />

farm,’’ she says.<br />

‘‘I lovetodrink gin,and the New<br />

Zealand gin industryisreally cranking.<br />

‘‘I am just anewbee,but Iwant to<br />

produce aboutique gin so people can<br />

enjoy aglass with some organic tonic,<br />

and garnishes,’’she says.<br />

She uses botanics sourced from the<br />

slopesoflocalsmountain and the area,<br />

creating two distinct blends.<br />

Supporting local and sustainability<br />

are two of the key ingredients in the<br />

venture<br />

Woolshed is aLondon dry stylegin<br />

where Juniper is ‘‘the hero’’.<br />

Justine says she got her inspiration<br />

tones foundinkanuka,fresh mint and<br />

floral elderflowers, withcoriander and<br />

Shearwater gin is the opposite<br />

sensation.<br />

Justine pairs rosehipand blue borage<br />

flowers fromthe highcountry with<br />

native seaweed (Karengu) whichis<br />

foundonthe Kaikoura coastline.<br />

The blend is oceanic, fresh, fruity,<br />

Hurunui council confirms 8.49% rate rise<br />

A$1million shortfall in fundingfrom<br />

Waka Kotahi/New Zealand Transport<br />

Authority, has seen the Hurunui District<br />

Council committing to further debt to<br />

maintainits roading network at the<br />

current level.<br />

The councilapproved funding the<br />

shortfallinits Long Term Plan (LTP), for<br />

<strong>2021</strong>­2031, after last minute receipt of the<br />

indicative fundingproposal from the<br />

agency.<br />

Chiefexecutive Hamish Dobbie says the<br />

roading infrastructure is vitalasameans<br />

to support the connectedness of rural<br />

communities and the national economy.<br />

‘‘Yes,council was disappointed in the<br />

amount of funding available, but we<br />

remain committed to maintaining the<br />

roadingnetwork to the best condition that<br />

finances allow.”<br />

The LTP document, Finding the Fair<br />

Way was finalised at an extraordinary<br />

meeting yesterday (June 30). It follows<br />

consultationacross the district, and<br />

consideration of submissions.<br />

Mr Dobbie says the key elements in the<br />

LTP are closely aligned to key council<br />

infrastructure—three waters and the<br />

transport network.<br />

He says it also reflects public services<br />

the council delivers, particularlyinthe<br />

areas of waste managementand social<br />

housing.<br />

As aresult, the averagerate increase<br />

will rise to 8.49%for the <strong>2021</strong>/2022 year. A<br />

4.99% rate increase is proposed for the<br />

2022/2023 and 2023/2024 years.<br />

“While council acceptsthe 8.49% rate<br />

increase is challenging, it is of the view it<br />

is prudent at this time, to minimise<br />

operational debt, given the uncertainly<br />

that faces Local Government nationally.”<br />

For the final seven years of the LTP, the<br />

proposedrate increase is 2% per annum.<br />

‘‘This plan will ensure that the rating<br />

effectsofCovid­19 are adequately dealt<br />

with and that the roadingdebt is<br />

eliminated by the end of June 2024,’’ says<br />

Mr Dobbie.<br />

While council accepts the 8.49% rate<br />

increase is challenging, it is of the view<br />

that it is prudent at this time,tominimise<br />

operationaldebt given the uncertainly<br />

that faces Local Government nationally.”<br />

Vaping in the spotlight at RHS<br />

Vaping ... Rangiora High School students and staff join forces to<br />

fight vaping.<br />

PHOTO:ABIGAIL CHESSUM<br />

By ABIGAIL CHESSUM<br />

Awar on vaping is being waged<br />

at Rangiora HighSchool.<br />

It is being led by several<br />

students and teachers at the<br />

school due to their growing<br />

concern about the recent<br />

vaping trend hittingthe New<br />

Zealand high school scene.<br />

They are also concerned<br />

aboutthe openingofavape<br />

shopabout 750 metresfrom the<br />

school.<br />

Shemya Jones­Bloomfield<br />

and Kirriana Sutton, two Year<br />

12 students,have put posters<br />

around the school, advertising<br />

the negative effectsofvaping<br />

they feel many studentsneed<br />

to know.<br />

They are not only targeting<br />

the issue because it is<br />

becoming awider New<br />

Zealand one, but also because<br />

they want to spread awareness<br />

to young students.<br />

‘‘We saw howimportant it<br />

wouldbetospreadawareness<br />

around it becausewefeel alot<br />

of the younger kids,especially<br />

here at Rangiora High School,<br />

see what the older kids are<br />

doingand theycopy them.”<br />

said Shemya.<br />

Rangiora High teachers and<br />

staffare supportingthe efforts,<br />

pulling out all the stops to<br />

combat vaping, including<br />

tightening up on out of class<br />

passes, checking up regularly<br />

on where vapingoccurs,<br />

educating studentsthrough<br />

assemblies and using ministry<br />

providedsignage.<br />

PrincipalKaren Stewart<br />

says it is illegal to vape on<br />

school sites, due to achange in<br />

legislation lastyear, so there<br />

were consequences.<br />

‘‘Vaping is out thereinthe<br />

community. It’sinthe movies,<br />

you see it on TV, so therefore<br />

we’ve got asection of our<br />

community thatthinkvaping is<br />

the thingtodo,’’ she says.<br />

In 2<strong>01</strong>9 asurvey showedthat<br />

an estimated12percentof<br />

Year 10 students, aged 14 to 15<br />

years, vape on acasual basis, at<br />

least monthly, and about3%of<br />

Year 10 studentsvape daily.<br />

Vaping,unlike smoking, can<br />

be flavoured whichgives it<br />

furtherappeal to students. The<br />

good taste in vapes can mask<br />

it’s negative effects, and only<br />

makes themmore addictive.<br />

‘‘I thinkother young people<br />

think they’re ok because<br />

they’reusing vapejuices,<br />

which taste good, therefore<br />

make themthink they’re safe,’’<br />

says Mrs Stewart.<br />

Studieshave shown vaping<br />

has as many negative effects as<br />

smoking.<br />

Chemicals suchaspropylene<br />

glycol and flavourings are<br />

inhaledthrough vape, as well<br />

as Vitamin Eacetate, a<br />

thickening agent, whichcan<br />

potentially damage the lungs.<br />

Nicotine is acommon<br />

substance in most vapes.<br />

Concernisgrowing and it is<br />

recommendedyoung people<br />

need to treat vaping as a<br />

harmful substance. As more<br />

peoplebecomeaddicted to<br />

vaping, there is less of achance<br />

of removingthe trend in<br />

youths. ‘‘Just don’t do it’’<br />

Shemyasays.‘‘Just don’t.You<br />

don’t look cool when you follow<br />

what everyone else is doing.’’<br />

New business bringing memories to life<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Anew business callediRemember is<br />

bringing memoriesofthe dead back to life<br />

usingaquickresponse (QR) code.<br />

The business is the brainchildof<br />

Kaiapoi’s Ben O'Reilly, Paul King, his<br />

employeratGraceworks Recycling, in<br />

Flaxton, near Rangiora, software engineer<br />

Dan Rosenbrock, of Halswell, plus Paul’s<br />

nephew Sam McKay, whoisafilm student<br />

at theVictoria UniversityofWellington.<br />

Ben approached Paul about creating a<br />

QR code, similartothe Covid­19 tracer<br />

code,toaccess amemorial page for<br />

deceasedloved ones at cemeteries and<br />

othermemorial sites.<br />

Ben suggested establishing anew<br />

business together. They brought Dan and<br />

Sam on board and began workingon<br />

establishingthe iRememberwebsiteearly<br />

last year. ‘‘Everyonehas an equal input<br />

into this project,’’Ben says.<br />

Once the memorial marker QR code has<br />

been placed at amemorial site, anyone<br />

with asmartphone can scan the codeand<br />

view photos, videos and images of the<br />

person.The iRememberservice comes<br />

with three subscription options, monthly,<br />

yearly or lifetime. Subscriptions can be<br />

cancelled at anytime with no continuing<br />

contracts or obligations.<br />

Ben saysthe initiativewas createdto<br />

share the legaciesand help preserve<br />

memories of their lovedones.<br />

‘‘Everyonehas ahistory, astory to tell, a<br />

lesson to teach, alife they have lived, a<br />

legacy,’’ Ben says. The motivation for the<br />

business came from the death of his<br />

brother, Jamie O’Reilly who died in acar<br />

crashin2008.‘‘He was cremated and his<br />

asheswere scattered to the wind,’’ Ben<br />

says.‘‘My familybuilt amemorial chairfor<br />

Jamie, but it doesn’tshow what an<br />

amazing person he was. It doesn’t allow<br />

me and my familytohear his voice or see<br />

his face again to sharethe memories we<br />

haveofhim or for Jamie’s story to be<br />

preservedfor my children or their<br />

grandchildren.’’ AQRcode memorial<br />

marker has now been createdfor Jamie’s<br />

memorialchair to access hismemorial<br />

page on the iRemember website.<br />

has arole to play here,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />

‘‘We’reahigh growth district and need<br />

As National’s MentalHealth<br />

MP whoisfrequently approached by<br />

residents telling me they wanttosee<br />

action and not rhetoric in the mentalhealth<br />

promises, verylittle hasbeenspent<br />

on in­patientmental­health<br />

In fact, promisedspending has<br />

resulted in only five extra acute<br />

Response to floods<br />

Waimakariri celebrated international<br />

volunteer week duringthe past week.<br />

As acommunity we couldn’t function<br />

without fantasticvolunteers who<br />

generously give their time in support of<br />

great causes.Inthe last 12 months<br />

council’s community team estimate over<br />

one million hours have been freely given.<br />

Ahuge thank you to all who generously<br />

give of your time to support our<br />

community.<br />

Flooding<br />

The flood eventafew weeks ago has<br />

transitioned from emergency to arecovery<br />

response.<br />

Council staff are managing 30 work<br />

streams, aroundrestoring road access,<br />

fixing storm waterinfrastructure and<br />

providing support to affected landowners.<br />

It is estimated the cost to our districtwill<br />

be around $3 million.<br />

We hope asignificantportion of this will<br />

be recoverable throughthe Government,<br />

especially in the area of roading. We are<br />

continuing to work with landowners to<br />

understand their issues and how best we<br />

can support them and connectthem to the<br />

right service.<br />

We appreciated the support of the<br />

Government, and Minister Kris Faafoi who<br />

visited the welfare centres and the<br />

Emergency OperationsCentre to reach out<br />

and offer support. Two weeks ago Iagain<br />

met with Minister Faafoi to stress thatthe<br />

uninsured cost and hardship now faced by<br />

our communitiesand landowners who<br />

have been adversely affected by this<br />

floodingevent is significant. The<br />

Government’s reliefpackage for<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> of $500,000 was simply<br />

inadequate.Infact it would barely cover<br />

Future flooding in storms will only get worse -farmer<br />

By JOHN MCCASKEY<br />

The Hurunui area escaped lightly in the<br />

recent rainstorms.<br />

The lower branchesofour creeks,<br />

streams and rivers onlycaused abit of<br />

inconvenience withwashoutsand slips.<br />

However, thankstofour decadesof<br />

neglect, and the Resource Management<br />

Act, the predictions of thoseofuswho<br />

grew up with actual on the ground<br />

experienceway back in the 80s and 90s,<br />

backed up by governmentfinanced<br />

catchment/drainage boards, wereignored.<br />

Now we can onlysit back and say ‘‘told<br />

you so’’.<br />

Whathappened was no “act of God’’. It<br />

was purely and simply the result of<br />

government neglect/responsibility,<br />

handed to bureaucratswith little<br />

collective life experience.<br />

Now all New Zealand is paying the<br />

price, and with awarmingclimate<br />

spawning moreunreliable storm periods,<br />

it can only get worse.<br />

Every time Itake aroam aroundthe<br />

backroads, some Ihaven’t travelledfor<br />

30+ years,Iam horrifiedbywhat Isee.<br />

Streamsand creeks chokedwith yearsof<br />

accumulated debris —willows, old mans<br />

beard —all ahaven for the exploding<br />

weeds/vermin.<br />

What hitsmehardest is where have all<br />

the sheepgone, and the farming families<br />

that keptthe country clean. Ihave seen<br />

hillsides of forestry,nofirebreaks, slash<br />

waiting to slide off into the catchment<br />

areas,volunteer wilding escapees from<br />

forests establishingthemselveson<br />

roadsides —and some nassella tussocks —<br />

miles from Waipara.<br />

There is lots of official bleating from<br />

those on high about the state of natures<br />

affairs. It is apity they can’t do anything<br />

more practical than blame the farmers.<br />

How longsince you heard the skylarks<br />

singing, and saw the wax eyes and finches<br />

flitting around.Isaw alonely fantailthe<br />

otherday whereonce theywere very<br />

common. All but gone thanks to the<br />

government sponsoredenvironmental<br />

neglectofthe “commons”.Upuntil our<br />

caretaking responsibilities were usurped<br />

by the RMA that was part of what we did<br />

—every day —look after the land. A<br />

downpournow couldstartanavalanche of<br />

rubbishbecause the ground is saturated<br />

for the first time in adecade. Willows are<br />

already eroded waiting to go, and alogjam<br />

situation could eventuate —then boom,<br />

down she comes —noWaiparabridges.<br />

The alarming pity is popularitypolitics<br />

rule,regardless of party, so don’t expect<br />

any improvement in the near future.<br />

Volunteers keep trains on track<br />

By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />

Thanks to 300 to 400 hours of voluntary<br />

work done on­site each week, the Weka<br />

Pass Railway charitable society<br />

continues to build up ahead of steam.<br />

From Monday to Sunday, there is<br />

always work happening at Waipara, the<br />

Glenmark and Waikari Stations, and<br />

behind the scenes.<br />

Monday is earmarked for businesses,<br />

schools and tour group charters to visit,<br />

with shift­workers and semi­retired<br />

volunteers looking after the visitors.<br />

Tuesday is one of the busiest days of<br />

the week at the depot as the carriage<br />

restoration team, apassionate group of<br />

carpenters, painters and anyone else<br />

enthusiastic enough to lend ahand,<br />

gather.<br />

In the article ‘‘Cemetery policy unveiled’’<br />

in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong> on June 24 it<br />

was incorrectly stated that the new policy<br />

includeda10­yearly review of prepurchased<br />

plots. While the 10 year<br />

review was raised by staff, it was not<br />

adopted by the council asitwas<br />

considered administratively costly and<br />

was not consulted on. The error is<br />

regretted.<br />

effect on 1<strong>July</strong> 2<strong>01</strong>7 has meant that HDC is now required to<br />

identify potential earthquake-prone buildings. The three profile<br />

categories are: anunreinforced masonry building; apre-1976<br />

building three or more storeys or 12 metres, or greater in<br />

height above the lowest ground level; or apre-1935 buildings,<br />

one or two storeys.<br />

Balmoral Fire Lookout awinner<br />

Acommunity effort to restore the Balmoral Fire Lookout has<br />

been recognised at the recent <strong>Canterbury</strong> Heritage Awards.<br />

It received joint first place alongside The Arts Centre Te<br />

Matatiki Toi Ora, inthe ‘Public Realm Saved and Restored’<br />

category this month.<br />

Hawarden Waikari Lions Club members have dedicated<br />

numerous hours tothe restoration ofthe Lookout, which was<br />

built in 1940 to accommodate astaff member employed to<br />

keep watch and report on any fire risks in the Balmoral Forest.<br />

Due towildfires instate forests becoming extremely common,<br />

12 of these lookouts were built throughout <strong>Canterbury</strong> from<br />

1922 onward, of which only four remain.<br />

Fun<br />

fact!<br />

Aword fromyour Mayor, Marie Black<br />

The past month has served us agenerous dose of challenging<br />

weather, culminating in agiant leap from seriously dry to very wet<br />

conditions.<br />

June <strong>2021</strong> will be infamously remembered for its back to back<br />

significant rain events, with some unusually mild days in-between.<br />

Across <strong>Canterbury</strong> were great displays of community spirit both<br />

rurally and in the urban areas, people helping each other to move<br />

stock and get belongings above the line of the encroaching water.<br />

The Government has released some funds to assist landowners in<br />

their recovery from the floods, the criteria for dispersal yet to be<br />

determined.<br />

Many of us had our ‘boots filled’ with wisdom last week when the<br />

All Black’s mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka spoke to apacked<br />

hall at Glenmark Rugby Club. He stated that “Clear thinking is<br />

KING” and discussed the importance of balance to boost your<br />

energy, focus, creativity, productivity, and one’s happiness. These<br />

components are essential as we all grapple with conditions within<br />

our lives outside of our control.<br />

Iamvery pleased to be receiving afurther round of funding for the<br />

Mayor's Taskforce For Jobs programme. This influential scheme<br />

has seen 50 young people from Hurunui into sustainable<br />

employment over the past twelve months. It is agreat credit to the<br />

young people, their employers and HDC who have worked in<br />

collaboration to ensure this success. Ilook forward to ensuring<br />

continued strong outcomes for the year ahead.<br />

We are almost there with the sign off of our Long Term Plan<br />

‘Finding The Fair Way’ –this is asubstantial body of work in the<br />

life of Council planning and preparation for the next 10 years.<br />

Without your input it is adocument without voice, and Iamgrateful<br />

for those who have taken the time to provide feedback on the<br />

proposal.<br />

Recently Ihave had the privilege to be part ofmany volunteer<br />

awards nights, for both Fire Brigades and St John. Ithank you all<br />

for this contribution to our fantastic district - being called a<br />

volunteer is a precious title and one that is to be admired-<br />

“Volunteers don't get paid -not because you are worthless, but<br />

because you are priceless.”<br />

Kia kaha and thankyou.<br />

"The importance of balance to<br />

boost your energy, focus,<br />

creativity, productivity, and<br />

one’s happiness......."<br />

In 20/21 from Hurunui -more than 600 tonnes of glass has been crushed and used in roading, more than 170 tonnes ofscrap<br />

metal has been recycled, more than 450 tonnes of paper, card, plastic bottles and cans have been recycled via EcoCentral in<br />

Christchurch, and more than 150 tonnes of green waste has been converted into mulch. Clean paper, card, plastics (1,2 and<br />

says Sophie who has grownup<br />

playing her own music.<br />

The magazine willfeaturea<br />

finding new local musicis<br />

simpler thanever.<br />

Sophie’s inspiration behind<br />

the magazine is her personal<br />

passion for New Zealand<br />

music.<br />

“I havesomany talented<br />

friends that I’vemet through<br />

being involved with the local<br />

music scene, and they struggle<br />

to get anyone to hear their art.<br />

Aeipath is designed to fix<br />

that.”<br />

Swimming is proving to be just<br />

the tonic for Christine Patterson.<br />

Christine, who has been<br />

battling depression for over a<br />

decade, has taken the plunge,<br />

and is back in the pool, which is<br />

proving to be agreat place to find<br />

solace.<br />

Recently she swam 100 lengths<br />

of Rangiora’s Dudley Park pool.<br />

Her efforts were not just for<br />

her own wellbeing however, but<br />

to help raise funds for a<br />

Salvation Army project, Embrace<br />

Fiji,aretreat for women.<br />

‘‘For me personally, through<br />

helping these ladies in Fiji, I<br />

have been helped in return,’’ says<br />

Christine.<br />

Her decision to get back in the<br />

pool has been life changing.<br />

She can now do every day jobs<br />

like grocery shopping, and enjoys<br />

being back in the garden.<br />

Her problems began with pain<br />

in her feet ­Plantar fasciitis.<br />

With the pain being so horrific,<br />

feet bandaged, unable to swim,<br />

unable to walk, unable to<br />

continue her lifeguard work, and<br />

unable to be aswim instructor, or<br />

work at an elderly persons home,<br />

Christine became isolated.<br />

The February 2<strong>01</strong>1<br />

Christchurch earthquake also<br />

took its toll.<br />

‘‘With the sale of our house,<br />

and unable to begin our new<br />

build, it must have been all too<br />

much and depression set in.<br />

Once the bandages were off,<br />

she couldn’t bring herself to get<br />

back into the pool.<br />

But hearing about Embrace<br />

Fiji,Christine made it her goal to<br />

least one Fijian lady go to the<br />

retreat, by swimming 100,<br />

Once back in the water,<br />

Christine found she was<br />

‘‘surprisingly happy’’. Each<br />

Tuesday for three weeks she<br />

swam, culminating in tackling<br />

the 100 lengths. Her efforts are<br />

helping 20 women attend the<br />

Support offered for grandparents<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Support is available for those who are<br />

‘‘parenting again’’.<br />

Agrandparentsraising grandchildren<br />

support group wasestablished by the<br />

Community Wellbeing <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Trust twoyearsago to support agrowing<br />

Sharon Ward, whoisraising two<br />

grandchildren, wasattendingaparents’<br />

support group through Mana Ake,along<br />

with another grandparentand saw the<br />

need for aseparate grandparents’ support<br />

group.<br />

‘‘Ifind it so amazing.It’s the onlygroup<br />

available forus, but it’snot onlythe<br />

support you get outof, it’sthe opportunity<br />

to talk to peopleinthe same situationyou<br />

Marie Simpson, one of Community<br />

Wellbeing’s MakaAke counsellors, says<br />

when grandparents step in it is generally<br />

following trauma,whichcreates added<br />

challenges and canleadtobehavioural<br />

issues.<br />

‘‘Grandparentshavetheirmokointheir<br />

care forarange of reasons,soit’s about<br />

providingasafeand lovinghome,but<br />

everyone’s situation is different.’’<br />

Because it is generally considered a<br />

temporaryarrangement,many<br />

grandparents are limited in what support<br />

they are eligible for, Marie says.<br />

‘‘When it comestofinancial support, it<br />

depends on what court ordersare in place.<br />

Sometimestemporary arrangements can<br />

last years,but if they don’t havefull<br />

custodythey may not be eligiblefor<br />

support.’’<br />

Grandparents face different challenges<br />

to otherparents, Sharon says.<br />

‘‘There’s awholelot of emotions<br />

Work needed to reduce risks<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Anew study hopes to reduce the risk of<br />

falls.<br />

AUniversity of Otago study involving<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> residents hopes to<br />

better understand ‘‘street conditions’’<br />

and their ‘‘relationship with falling<br />

outdoors’’.<br />

Senior lecturer Dr Angela Curl says<br />

falling over and the fear of falling can<br />

raise anxiety about walking outside,<br />

limiting out of home activities.<br />

‘‘We know the condition of footpaths<br />

and urban environments impact how<br />

comfortable people feel walking, how<br />

much they walk and [leads to] afear of<br />

falling.’’<br />

She says 44 people participated in a<br />

study across 12 workshops, with four<br />

workshops held in Kaiapoi and<br />

Rangiora.<br />

Participants ranged in age from 32 to 92<br />

years, with the average age being 69.<br />

‘‘We did recruit through Age Concern<br />

and mainly targeted older adults, but we<br />

didn’t restrict who could attend. There<br />

was quite arange of people in terms of<br />

mobility issues,’’ Dr Curl says.<br />

‘‘Most people were very active and,<br />

despite concern about falling and often<br />

feeling unsafe, they did get out and walk<br />

alot.<br />

‘‘For some people this means driving to<br />

areserve, or getting out of town, but not<br />

everybody can do this so we need to<br />

ensure neighbourhood streets are safe<br />

from risk of falls.’’<br />

Once people have afall it can reduce<br />

self­confidence, Dr Curl says.<br />

‘‘Sometimes people who had been very<br />

committed walkers, start walking less<br />

and might go out in the car even just<br />

down to the local shops.<br />

‘‘In one case someone had stopped<br />

taking neighbours’ dogs and children for<br />

walks, showing the impact on connection<br />

Stronger ...<br />

Improving your strength and balance will help reduce the risk of afall.<br />

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES<br />

and community.’’<br />

She says 40 percent of participants had<br />

fallen in the last 12 months, with 70% of<br />

those having fallen more than once,<br />

while the other 60% ‘‘expressed ahigh<br />

level of concern about falling’’.<br />

The research team has used data from<br />

St John Ambulance as well as<br />

participants to identify where falls have<br />

occurred.<br />

An audit tool has been developed, with<br />

2500 locations audited.<br />

Almost all of the locations had at least<br />

one obstruction, such as poles, signs,<br />

overhanging vegetation, manholes or<br />

grates and litter bins. Participants also<br />

commented on bus stops, uneven ground,<br />

rough surfaces, chairs and tables outside,<br />

changing levels across driveways and<br />

cars parked on the footpath.<br />

Dr Curl says there is more data<br />

analysis to be completed and the<br />

research team will continue to<br />

disseminate data at workshops.<br />

‘‘There are things individuals can do<br />

such as the ‘steady as you go’ falls<br />

prevention classes that work on balance<br />

and stability, but there is aneed for more<br />

consideration of the needs of the ageing<br />

population in the design of our towns and<br />

cities.’’<br />

She encourages people to report any<br />

potential hazards by using<br />

SnapSendSolve.<br />

AgriKids ready for action<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

<strong>North</strong> Loburn School’s Karetu<br />

Kids don’t have to look far for<br />

inspiration ahead of tomorrow’s<br />

(Friday, <strong>July</strong> 2) national AgriKids<br />

final in Christchurch.<br />

The school has had along<br />

tradition in the annual AgriKids<br />

competition’s 10 year history,<br />

having competed in several<br />

AgriKids finals including the<br />

Gumboot Gang being national<br />

runners­up at Feilding in 2<strong>01</strong>7.<br />

This year’s Karetu Kids team<br />

comprises Regan Herlihy (12),<br />

John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury<br />

(13), who are all competing for the<br />

first time.<br />

Regan’s older brother and<br />

sister have competed in past<br />

AgriKids competitions, while<br />

John’s dad is apast Young<br />

Farmers Club member, so there is<br />

no shortage of advise for the team.<br />

All three are rural kids, with<br />

John hailing from asheep and<br />

deer farm, Cate comes from a<br />

lifestyle block with goats, while<br />

Regan lives on afarm and his dad<br />

is ashearer.<br />

‘‘I think we are pretty well<br />

covered because we have arange<br />

of knowledge between us,’’ Cate<br />

says.<br />

The team has had afew morning<br />

and after school sessions to help<br />

them prepare and has been<br />

making good use of the ‘‘hints’’<br />

provided to the finalists last week<br />

of the things they may be tested<br />

on, John says.<br />

‘‘We’ve thought about what the<br />

hints might be telling us,’’ Cate<br />

says.<br />

‘‘And we’ve learnt about Young<br />

Karetu Kids ... <strong>North</strong> Loburn School’s team of Regan Herlihy (12, left),<br />

John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury (13) is excited about competing in the<br />

national AgriKids final tomorrow.<br />

Farmers and where they came<br />

from,’’ Ryan adds.<br />

In the last few days before the<br />

final the team was due to have a<br />

session on ATVs in preparation<br />

for the Honda module and<br />

planned to brush up on their<br />

general knowledge.<br />

Being in the national final<br />

means two days off school, with<br />

teams participating in an opening<br />

ceremony in Christchurch this<br />

afternoon.<br />

The AgriKids modules will be<br />

held at New Zealand Young<br />

Farmers’ headquarters at<br />

Innovation Park in Templeton<br />

tomorrow between 7.30am and<br />

3.30pm, alongside the FMG Young<br />

Farmer of the Year and Junior<br />

Young Farmer practical<br />

competitions.<br />

Teams will compete in various<br />

modules, arace and awritten test.<br />

Karetu Kids will be lining up<br />

against two teams from Waikari<br />

School and 18 other teams from<br />

around the country.<br />

The AgriKids winners will be<br />

announced at afunction in the<br />

Christchurch Town Hall<br />

West Eyreton community displays its wheels<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

The West Eyreton community<br />

brought their wheels to school<br />

last week to ‘‘ignite’’ student<br />

passion for learning.<br />

Around 20 different types of<br />

vehicles rolled into West<br />

Eyreton School on Wednesday,<br />

June 23, as part of an Ignite<br />

learning programme, where<br />

senior pupils have been<br />

learning about different forms of<br />

transport.<br />

Teacher Sarah Wardle said<br />

she was pleased with the<br />

community support, which saw a<br />

range of agricultural, work,<br />

recreational and vintage<br />

vehicles on display.<br />

‘‘We’ve got different types of<br />

transport and machinery from<br />

around the district. We’ve got<br />

farming and contracting<br />

machinery, vintage cars, racing<br />

‘‘Older than granddad’’ ... Head students Jack Topless (12, left), Jack<br />

Meyer (12), Finehiki Uhatafe (12) and Matilda Harland (12) in front of a<br />

1928 Oakland, which was restored by West Eyreton School granddad<br />

Graeme Read at avehicle display day at West Eyreton School last week.<br />

Raw power ... Head students Matilda Harland (12) and Jack Meyer (12)<br />

imagine taking this truck for aspin.<br />

cars and trucks, tractors and tiny<br />

go­karts and anything in<br />

between.<br />

‘‘People have been very keen<br />

to come along and support the<br />

school, which is amazing.’’<br />

The slowest form of transport<br />

was aShetland pony, Rowan<br />

(21), and cart driven by his<br />

owner Izzy de Roo (12).<br />

Old style ... Izzy de Roo (12)<br />

enjoyed driving her Shetland pony,<br />

Rowan (21), around school.<br />

‘‘He loves the attention,’’ she<br />

said.<br />

Shetland ponies like Rowan<br />

were once used in coalmining<br />

more than acentury ago.<br />

A1928 Oakland car attracted<br />

plenty of attention, with owner<br />

Graeme Read, of West Eyreton,<br />

only too happy to support his<br />

grandchildren, who attend the<br />

school.<br />

‘‘Some of the children are<br />

pretty amazed that this car is<br />

older than they’re<br />

grandparents.’’<br />

Off­roader ... Head student Finehiki Uhatafe (12, left) enjoys being in<br />

the driver’s seat, while fellow head student Jack Topless (12) admires her<br />

Strong buyer interest in Kaikoura bulls<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Acommercial Angus bull<br />

produced abit of surprise at a<br />

Kaikoura bull sale last week.<br />

Angus bull Woodbank 9110<br />

sold for $16,000, outstripping the<br />

prices paid for stud Angus bulls<br />

at the combined Matariki<br />

Hereford /Woodbank Angus onfarm<br />

bull sale held in the<br />

Clarence Valley, north of<br />

Kaikoura, on June 22.<br />

‘‘It’s what happens when<br />

commercial guys see something<br />

they like,’’ Woodbank Angus coowner<br />

Ben Murray said.<br />

‘‘People are prepared to pay<br />

for quality genetics and the<br />

results they’re getting are pretty<br />

good.’’<br />

Angus bulls were primarily<br />

bred as maternal sires, to<br />

produce cows to build up an<br />

Angus herd.<br />

‘‘You’re breeding for the<br />

females you keep in your herd.<br />

Everyone wants good females to<br />

keep in their herd for aperiod of<br />

time.’’<br />

Three Angus stud bulls sold<br />

for $15,000, while 54 of the 58<br />

Angus bulls offered for sale were<br />

sold for an average of $9204,<br />

which was afitting way to mark<br />

the stud’s 85th anniversary.<br />

‘‘We were very happy with how<br />

it all went, we sold 54 bulls<br />

which was absolutely brilliant,’’<br />

Mr Murray said.<br />

‘‘We were very well supported<br />

from Marlborough and <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>. It’s always good to<br />

keep them (the bulls) in the<br />

district and to see the buyers<br />

keep coming back.’’<br />

Other buyers travelled from as<br />

Family affair ... Three generations of the Murray family ­Johnny (left),<br />

far afield as Gisborne and<br />

Wairoa in the <strong>North</strong> Island and<br />

from Southland and South Otago<br />

in the south, he said.<br />

The Woodbank Angus stud was<br />

founded in 1936 by Mr Murray’s<br />

grandfather, while the<br />

Woodbank farm was established<br />

by his great­grandfather in 1900.<br />

The farm was later subdivided<br />

after World War 2, with<br />

Mr Murray’s great­uncle<br />

establishing the Matariki<br />

Hereford stud.<br />

‘‘We’ve got an awesome<br />

relationship with Matariki and it<br />

suits our clients well, as alot of<br />

guys like to chop and change<br />

between the breeds, so it works<br />

for both of us,’’ he said.<br />

Today Mr Murray runs the 450<br />

cow Angus stud with his father<br />

Johnny, while his son Tom is the<br />

latest generation on the farm.<br />

The Matariki Hereford stud<br />

had asuccessful day selling 58 of<br />

the 59 Hereford bulls offered for<br />

sale for an average price of<br />

$8448, with the day’s top price<br />

being $20,000 paid for Matariki<br />

Memphis in lot 46 by Koanui<br />

Polled Herefords of Havelock<br />

<strong>North</strong>. Two Hereford stud bulls<br />

also sold for $18,000.<br />

Resilience message<br />

for changing world<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Looking to the future and<br />

resilience were the focus<br />

of afarmers’ conference<br />

held in Christchurch last<br />

week.<br />

Around100 farmers<br />

attended Beef +Lamb<br />

New Zealand’s annual<br />

FarmSmart conference at<br />

Addington Raceway,<br />

where <strong>Canterbury</strong>­based<br />

board directors Nicky<br />

Hyslopand Kate Acland<br />

discussed the<br />

organisation’s<br />

referendum and northern<br />

South Island farmers’<br />

council chairperson<br />

FraserAverykicked<br />

thingsoff by talking about<br />

resilience.<br />

‘‘The key message is we<br />

are in areferendum year,<br />

so we really encourage<br />

farmers to get out and<br />

vote. It’s justsoimportant<br />

that we have their<br />

mandate,’’ Mrs Hyslop<br />

said.<br />

Areferendum is held<br />

every six yearstogive<br />

farmers achancetohave<br />

their say on the futureof<br />

the levy­funded<br />

organisation, with voting<br />

closing on <strong>July</strong>9.<br />

Achanging world, the<br />

environment, trade,<br />

recruitingyoungpeople,<br />

research and<br />

development,genetics<br />

and influencing<br />

governmentpolicy were<br />

prioritiesfor BLNZ going<br />

forward, Mrs Hyslop said.<br />

‘‘As farmers we<br />

understandthe bow wave<br />

of issues thatare coming<br />

forward and the change<br />

ahead of us, so that’sone<br />

of our goals is to make<br />

sure in terms of policy that<br />

we influence wherever we<br />

can sensible outcomes.<br />

We knowthat’s really<br />

frustratingfarmers at the<br />

moment.<br />

‘‘It’snot the direction of<br />

The recent flood event<br />

on the back of the long<br />

running drought had abig<br />

impactonfarmers in the<br />

regionand new board<br />

memberMrs Acland’s<br />

property was in the midst<br />

of the flooding.<br />

‘‘We’ve had close to half<br />

our annualrainfall in one<br />

weekend, but it’s<br />

something we faceas<br />

farmers and one of the<br />

themestoday is about<br />

resilience and dealing<br />

with these events and<br />

remaining strongand<br />

resilient in the face of it,’’<br />

Mrs Aclandsaid.<br />

In his opening address,<br />

Mr Averynoted the<br />

Aclands had received<br />

more rain in five days than<br />

his farm receivedin18<br />

months, whichhighlights<br />

the need for resilience.<br />

Resilience beganwith<br />

‘‘understanding ourselves<br />

­how we manage<br />

ourselves and the people<br />

aroundus’’,hesaid.<br />

2272726<br />

2191656<br />

‘‘Life happens. How we<br />

deal with it is what define<br />

us.<br />

‘‘Some people tellme<br />

that rightnow is the most<br />

challenging time they’ve<br />

ever seeninfarming,but<br />

for me I’ve never seen<br />

more opportunities. So it’s<br />

all about mindset.’’<br />

Mr Avery also noted the<br />

growing<br />

acknowledgement of the<br />

roles women have always<br />

played in the rural sector,<br />

which was echoed by<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>’s two BLNZ<br />

board directors.<br />

‘‘I think throughoutthe<br />

countryyou’ll find<br />

farmingisapartnership,<br />

so it’s not unusual to have<br />

women really strongly<br />

involved,’’ Mrs Acland<br />

said.<br />

‘‘And Ithinkit’s just that<br />

now we are seeing so<br />

much more<br />

acknowledgement and<br />

confidencefrom women to<br />

come forward. But they’ve<br />

always been an important<br />

part of farming<br />

partnerships,’’ Mrs Hyslop<br />

added.<br />

Kaiapoi remains top of the table<br />

RUGBY<br />

BY LINDSAY KERR,<br />

PETER WILLIAMS, AND<br />

DAYLE SUTHERLAND<br />

Kaiapoi and Saracens have<br />

consolidated their positions at<br />

the topofthe Luisetti Seeds<br />

<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> premier<br />

rugbycompetition, but the<br />

battle for the remaining semi<br />

finalplaces intensified last<br />

Saturday, after the completion<br />

of round four.<br />

Glenmark­Cheviot returned<br />

to the winners circleafter<br />

accounting for Hurunui, and<br />

Ashley bounced back from a<br />

heavydefeat by Saracens to<br />

comfortablyhead off Woodend.<br />

Points after four rounds:<br />

Kaiapoi 19, Saracens 17,<br />

Ashley 11, Hurunui 10, Oxford<br />

9, Glenmark­Cheviot 9, Ohoka<br />

5, Woodend 1.<br />

Kaiapoi too strong<br />

Kaiapoi’s strength across the<br />

park wasevident underlining<br />

why its the top­ranked teamin<br />

the Luisetti Seeds<strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> rugbycompetition.<br />

In an entertaining, freeflowing<br />

match Kaiapoi<br />

comfortablybeat Oxford 39­22.<br />

Its strong­running backs<br />

thrived on aconstant streamof<br />

possession provided by the<br />

hard­working and mobile<br />

forward pack.<br />

Its consistent scrum,a<br />

feature all season, was amajor<br />

strength,with the Oxfordpack<br />

pushed back on afew<br />

occasions, sometimesupto10<br />

metres. Kaiapoi also gained<br />

the ascendancy at lineout time.<br />

Lock Nacanieli Namata,<br />

playing in his 100th matchfor<br />

Kaiapoi,revelledinhis work<br />

helping gainlineout<br />

possession and frequently<br />

popping up in generalplay<br />

with the ball in hand. Halfback,Codey<br />

Grimes, skilfully<br />

distributed aplethora of<br />

quality ball to his backs.<br />

LoganBell, seemed to make<br />

adent in the line every time he<br />

touched the ball, and Reuben<br />

Tiweka and Jovilisi Toleqa<br />

were aconstant threat.<br />

If there was achink in<br />

Kaiapoi’s armour,itwas its<br />

goal­kicking. the usually<br />

reliable Taine Jacobs­Lawson<br />

had already sprayed three<br />

penalty chances in the first 12<br />

minutes and even achange of<br />

kicker brought littlejoy. Only<br />

two of their seventries were<br />

converted.<br />

But Oxford was resilient.As<br />

in recent weeks, theytackled<br />

their hearts out and whenever<br />

Kaiapoi threatened to openup<br />

games.<br />

Ohoka however,was<br />

determined to spoil the party<br />

and took advantage of<br />

possession and territorytogo<br />

into the half 15­10ahead.<br />

Ohoka’s ZanePaterson and<br />

Tobias Pulleygave the visitors<br />

ball running options, leaving<br />

the visitors confident heading<br />

into the break. The old adage of<br />

securingfirstpointsafter half<br />

time couldn’t have been more<br />

important. The home side<br />

claimedthe advantage,scoring<br />

wide to lockthe scoresat15­all.<br />

home side came late in the<br />

game. With Ohoka up 18­15,<br />

Mixed results for Rangiora hockey teams<br />

HOCKEY<br />

Rangiora Hockey Club's division 1men's<br />

team took awhile to warm up in its home<br />

game against University of <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Spartans, conceding agoal in the first<br />

couple of minutes, then anotherbefore<br />

the end of the firsthalf.<br />

But it shored up its defence after halftime<br />

and worked its way back into the<br />

game, with several promising forays into<br />

the UC circle.<br />

Lachlan Miller scored awell crafted<br />

individual goal and then John Single<br />

netted one late in the game to even the<br />

scoreline.<br />

Rangiora division 1women also earned<br />

some much neededpoints with a1­all<br />

draw against University of <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

Huns.<br />

In the Sunday Super League Men's<br />

Championships the Rangiora Colts<br />

comfortably accounted for University of<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> Barbarians, but an understrength<br />

Oddfellows team couldn't match<br />

Avon.<br />

In the women's championship<br />

Rangiora Piwakawaka lost 4­nil to<br />

Waikirikiri, which wasactually a<br />

considerable improvement on the 8­0<br />

scoreline the last time these two teams<br />

met.<br />

In the mid­weekcompetition all<br />

Rangiora teamshad good wins. Rangiora<br />

Hurunui Hares downedMalvern 5­1 in<br />

the women's division 1grade, turning<br />

aroundaloss to this team in round 1.<br />

Rangiora Allsorts also turned arounda<br />

round 1loss to Avon with adominant<br />

performance over the blue and golds in<br />

the division 2men's clash. The final<br />

scoreline was 5­3, but it could have been<br />

even more had Jon Green not had two<br />

goals disallowed.<br />

The mid­week Amen's team kept up its<br />

Lining up ashot ... Sam Firth of the Rangiora Platinum Aboys’ team gets off ashot at<br />

unbeaten record,albeitwith ascratchy<br />

win over Southern United.<br />

In the juniorcompetition unbeaten<br />

Rangiora Rabbits(Kwik Sticks girls’<br />

grade) were put underpressure in the<br />

top of the table clash with the also<br />

unbeaten HSOB/Burnside Pixies. The<br />

Rabbits got two goalsupinthe first half<br />

only to seePixies hit back quickly to even<br />

the score.<br />

The Rabbits again took atwo goal lead<br />

which Pixies cancelled with two more<br />

goals of its own. In the end it tooka<br />

couple of individual goals to Catherine<br />

McKellow late in the game to separate<br />

the teamsand keep the Rabbits’<br />

unbeaten record intact.<br />
