Dining out ... Jean Laming with three of the guests at The Fools Dinner.

Lamenting the loss of Christchurch villas
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The Fool’s Dinner is giving visitors to the
HurunuiLibraryinAmberley, plenty to
dineout on.
Thirteen oil paintings of guestsand the
hostofadinner party,hanging on theeast
walloflibrary, are curiously funny.
But the story behindthe exhibitionand
whatpromptedlocal artistJean Laming
to paint them,isanythingbut.
Irritated by whatshe saw as ‘‘developer
greed’’in ridding theChristchurch
landscape of beautifulold homes and
spacious sprawlingurban gardens,she
was promptedtoput paint brush to
canvastotellher story.
EachcaricatureatThe Fools Dinner has
astory, starting withthe real estate agent
who has thrown theparty for acollection
of society —some withbeautiful old
homes,the Man of theCloth,who keeps his
friendthe developer informed of dying
parishioner’savailableproperty,while
the Lady SmokingaCigarette isn’tgoingto
sell, but the foodand wine made it
worthwhile going to the dinner.
Jean, whofor thepast fouryears has
beenanAmberley resident,and ‘‘loves’’
the rural village, became angry at the
desecrationofbeautifulold homes when
she lived in Christchurch severalyears
go.
She chose to liveinastreet surrounded
by lovelyold villasand ‘‘incredible’’
gardens. Butmany were now gone,
bulldozedbypropertydevelopers, and
replaced by ‘‘four horrendous’’
townhouses on oneoccasion.
‘‘It is kind of sad,’’ saysJean.
Jean began painting when shewas
‘‘very small’’.
At 14 shewon the Tauranga Art Society
prize,twice,The Auckland StarArt Prize,
as wellasseveral otherawards.
Thethen Curatorofthe Auckland
Gallery, Eric Westbrook,suggested she
should go to studyinthe United Kingdom.
ButJean got sidetracked and spent some
years in Australia,meeting Sam
Fulbrook, thewinner of the prestigious
Archibald and WynnePrizes.
He became hermentoruntil she finally
leftfor England.
She boughtahouse in Spain where she
lived formanyyears, andtravelled
extensivelypaintingmural commissions
in the United Kingdom,Geneva,New
York,Spain, Iran, Australia,and New
Zealand.
Shehas hadmanysoloexhibitions in
Spain,the United States,Italy, New
Zealandand Australia, and participated
in joint exhibitionsinthe United
Kingdom.
Her recentworks includemurals in
Kaikoura,where shelivedbeforemoving
south to Amberley.

Boutique gin captures Kaikoura
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Agin distillery, tucked awayinthe
foothills of Mt Fyffe,iscapturing the
spiritofthe Kaikoura region.
Woolshed and Shearwater Gin,are
tantalisingtastebuds with locally
foraged botanics from the slopes of Mt
Fyffe,the Kaikoura mountain range,
and the coastline.
Justine Schroder’ssmall batch
artisan gin has not only captured the
imagination of the many people now
buyingitonline, but was also
recognisedatthe New Zealand Spirits
AwardsinAuckland lastweekend.
Justine who launches her gin today
(Thursday, July 1), in Kaikoura, won the
Long story short New ZealandEmerging
Product award.
She really only attended the awards
to network, as her gin she distills in a
littleworkshopontheir Mt Fyffe farm,
had barely gone on the market.
‘‘It was amazingtowin. There were52
entries,’’ says Justine.
She begansearching for something to
turn her handto, having given up her
job as amidwife after her children
arrived.
‘‘I couldn’tdooncall work becauseof
the kids, and Ihad been searching for
thingsfarmers can do to diversifyonthe
farm,’’ she says.
‘‘I lovetodrink gin,and the New
Zealand gin industryisreally cranking.
‘‘I am just anewbee,but Iwant to
produce aboutique gin so people can
enjoy aglass with some organic tonic,
and garnishes,’’she says.
She uses botanics sourced from the
slopesoflocalsmountain and the area,
creating two distinct blends.
Supporting local and sustainability
are two of the key ingredients in the
venture
Woolshed is aLondon dry stylegin
where Juniper is ‘‘the hero’’.
Justine says she got her inspiration

from the farm, pairing earthy nutty
tones foundinkanuka,fresh mint and
floral elderflowers, withcoriander and
angelicaroots, giving it abold smooth
flavour.
Shearwater gin is the opposite
sensation.
Justine pairs rosehipand blue borage
flowers fromthe highcountry with
native seaweed (Karengu) whichis
foundonthe Kaikoura coastline.
The blend is oceanic, fresh, fruity,
lightand crisp.
Both gins can be purchased through
the Mt Fyffe Distillery website, by

Hurunui council confirms 8.49% rate rise
A$1million shortfall in fundingfrom
Waka Kotahi/New Zealand Transport
Authority, has seen the Hurunui District
Council committing to further debt to
maintainits roading network at the
current level.
The councilapproved funding the
shortfallinits Long Term Plan (LTP), for
20212031, after last minute receipt of the
indicative fundingproposal from the
agency.
Chiefexecutive Hamish Dobbie says the
roading infrastructure is vitalasameans
to support the connectedness of rural
communities and the national economy.
‘‘Yes,council was disappointed in the
amount of funding available, but we
remain committed to maintaining the
roadingnetwork to the best condition that
finances allow.”
The LTP document, Finding the Fair
Way was finalised at an extraordinary
meeting yesterday (June 30). It follows
consultationacross the district, and
consideration of submissions.
Mr Dobbie says the key elements in the
LTP are closely aligned to key council
infrastructure—three waters and the
transport network.
He says it also reflects public services
the council delivers, particularlyinthe
areas of waste managementand social
housing.
As aresult, the averagerate increase
will rise to 8.49%for the 2021/2022 year. A
4.99% rate increase is proposed for the
2022/2023 and 2023/2024 years.
“While council acceptsthe 8.49% rate
increase is challenging, it is of the view it
is prudent at this time, to minimise
operational debt, given the uncertainly
that faces Local Government nationally.”
For the final seven years of the LTP, the
proposedrate increase is 2% per annum.
‘‘This plan will ensure that the rating
effectsofCovid19 are adequately dealt
with and that the roadingdebt is
eliminated by the end of June 2024,’’ says
Mr Dobbie.
While council accepts the 8.49% rate
increase is challenging, it is of the view
that it is prudent at this time,tominimise
operationaldebt given the uncertainly
that faces Local Government nationally.”

Vaping in the spotlight at RHS
Vaping ... Rangiora High School students and staff join forces to
fight vaping.
PHOTO:ABIGAIL CHESSUM
By ABIGAIL CHESSUM
Awar on vaping is being waged
at Rangiora HighSchool.
It is being led by several
students and teachers at the
school due to their growing
concern about the recent
vaping trend hittingthe New
Zealand high school scene.
They are also concerned
aboutthe openingofavape
shopabout 750 metresfrom the
school.
Shemya JonesBloomfield
and Kirriana Sutton, two Year
12 students,have put posters
around the school, advertising
the negative effectsofvaping
they feel many studentsneed
to know.
They are not only targeting
the issue because it is
becoming awider New
Zealand one, but also because
they want to spread awareness
to young students.
‘‘We saw howimportant it
wouldbetospreadawareness
around it becausewefeel alot
of the younger kids,especially
here at Rangiora High School,
see what the older kids are
doingand theycopy them.”
said Shemya.
Rangiora High teachers and
staffare supportingthe efforts,
pulling out all the stops to
combat vaping, including
tightening up on out of class
passes, checking up regularly
on where vapingoccurs,
educating studentsthrough
assemblies and using ministry
providedsignage.
PrincipalKaren Stewart
says it is illegal to vape on
school sites, due to achange in
legislation lastyear, so there
were consequences.
‘‘Vaping is out thereinthe
community. It’sinthe movies,
you see it on TV, so therefore
we’ve got asection of our
community thatthinkvaping is
the thingtodo,’’ she says.
In 2019 asurvey showedthat
an estimated12percentof
Year 10 students, aged 14 to 15
years, vape on acasual basis, at
least monthly, and about3%of
Year 10 studentsvape daily.
Vaping,unlike smoking, can
be flavoured whichgives it
furtherappeal to students. The
good taste in vapes can mask
it’s negative effects, and only
makes themmore addictive.
‘‘I thinkother young people
think they’re ok because
they’reusing vapejuices,
which taste good, therefore
make themthink they’re safe,’’
says Mrs Stewart.
Studieshave shown vaping
has as many negative effects as
smoking.
Chemicals suchaspropylene
glycol and flavourings are
inhaledthrough vape, as well
as Vitamin Eacetate, a
thickening agent, whichcan
potentially damage the lungs.
Nicotine is acommon
substance in most vapes.
Concernisgrowing and it is
recommendedyoung people
need to treat vaping as a
harmful substance. As more
peoplebecomeaddicted to
vaping, there is less of achance
of removingthe trend in
youths. ‘‘Just don’t do it’’
Shemyasays.‘‘Just don’t.You
don’t look cool when you follow
what everyone else is doing.’’
New business bringing memories to life
By SHELLEY TOPP
Anew business callediRemember is
bringing memoriesofthe dead back to life
usingaquickresponse (QR) code.
The business is the brainchildof
Kaiapoi’s Ben O'Reilly, Paul King, his
employeratGraceworks Recycling, in
Flaxton, near Rangiora, software engineer
Dan Rosenbrock, of Halswell, plus Paul’s
nephew Sam McKay, whoisafilm student
at theVictoria UniversityofWellington.
Ben approached Paul about creating a
QR code, similartothe Covid19 tracer
code,toaccess amemorial page for
deceasedloved ones at cemeteries and
othermemorial sites.
Ben suggested establishing anew
business together. They brought Dan and
Sam on board and began workingon
establishingthe iRememberwebsiteearly
last year. ‘‘Everyonehas an equal input
into this project,’’Ben says.
Once the memorial marker QR code has
been placed at amemorial site, anyone
with asmartphone can scan the codeand
view photos, videos and images of the
person.The iRememberservice comes
with three subscription options, monthly,
yearly or lifetime. Subscriptions can be
cancelled at anytime with no continuing
contracts or obligations.
Ben saysthe initiativewas createdto
share the legaciesand help preserve
memories of their lovedones.
‘‘Everyonehas ahistory, astory to tell, a
lesson to teach, alife they have lived, a
legacy,’’ Ben says. The motivation for the
business came from the death of his
brother, Jamie O’Reilly who died in acar
crashin2008.‘‘He was cremated and his
asheswere scattered to the wind,’’ Ben
says.‘‘My familybuilt amemorial chairfor
Jamie, but it doesn’tshow what an
amazing person he was. It doesn’t allow
me and my familytohear his voice or see
his face again to sharethe memories we
haveofhim or for Jamie’s story to be
preservedfor my children or their
grandchildren.’’ AQRcode memorial
marker has now been createdfor Jamie’s
memorialchair to access hismemorial
page on the iRemember website.

amemorial page and establishan

Winter offers treats
In winter,thereisalways interesting
things to do in Waimakariri.
My familyand Ienjoyed visiting
Oxfordatnight thisweekend to look
at the winter lights, as businesses
and homes tookpartinthis years
WinterLights competition.
On Sunday,weenjoyedviewing the
wakaatthe KaiapoiMarina as part of
the Matarikicelebrations in
Waimakariri.
Our stunningriver madea
wonderful backdrop forthe beautiful
waka, whichprovided agreat
learningopportunity forthe kids.
As National’s MentalHealth
spokesperson, and as aCanterbury
MP whoisfrequently approached by
residents telling me they wanttosee
action and not rhetoric in the mentalhealth
space, Ibelieveitisakey part
of my roletohold the governmentto
accountthroughquestioning
ministersinParliament.
Lastweek,Iascertainedfrom the
Health Ministerthat despite
promises, verylittle hasbeenspent
on inpatientmentalhealth
facilities.
In fact, promisedspending has
resulted in only five extra acute
mentalhealthbeds.
Iwas disappointed by the
minister’s responsetopressurefrom
the mediaattention thatcame from
my questions,which was to saythat a
review of thespendingcouldbe
announced. Thisisnot goodenough
for New Zealanders strugglingtoget
help.
What asuccessfulmeetingwehad
in theRangiora TownHallwith the
Canterbury District HealthBoards
newchiefexecutive,Peter Bramley.
ThefeedbackIgot from the CDHB
wasthatthey reallyappreciated this
model of communityengagementand
will be working closely withour
residents around the issues that
were raised.
It is great to be able to update
everyone thatwecan expect
construction of our newafterhours
facilitytostart in January.
It wasalsoreassuring to be
reminded at themeetingthat a
paramedic is availableeveryevening
to visit and assesspeople in their
homes.
This is something we have
especiallyfor our Waimakaririarea,
anditisagreat service.
Ihad to resistthe temptation to
take my carfor ablastaround the
WoodfordGlenSpeedway circuitin
Kaiapoithis week, when Idroppedin
as partofmyregular visits to our
communitygroups,businessesand
notforprofits to checkinwiththem
as their localMP.
Iwas verysurprised to learn how
many local employees and small,
localvendors the speedway supports
during the season.
An army of volunteers has also
helpedkeep thetrackgoingfor over
45 years through theirpassion and
dedication.

As acommunity we couldn’t function
without fantasticvolunteers who
generously give their time in support of
great causes.Inthe last 12 months
council’s community team estimate over
one million hours have been freely given.
Ahuge thank you to all who generously
give of your time to support our
community.
Flooding
The flood eventafew weeks ago has
transitioned from emergency to arecovery
response.
Council staff are managing 30 work
streams, aroundrestoring road access,
fixing storm waterinfrastructure and
providing support to affected landowners.
It is estimated the cost to our districtwill
be around $3 million.
We hope asignificantportion of this will
be recoverable throughthe Government,
especially in the area of roading. We are
continuing to work with landowners to
understand their issues and how best we
can support them and connectthem to the
right service.
We appreciated the support of the
Government, and Minister Kris Faafoi who
visited the welfare centres and the
Emergency OperationsCentre to reach out
and offer support. Two weeks ago Iagain
met with Minister Faafoi to stress thatthe
uninsured cost and hardship now faced by
our communitiesand landowners who
have been adversely affected by this
floodingevent is significant. The
Government’s reliefpackage for
Canterbury of $500,000 was simply
inadequate.Infact it would barely cover

Future flooding in storms will only get worse -farmer
By JOHN MCCASKEY
The Hurunui area escaped lightly in the
recent rainstorms.
The lower branchesofour creeks,
streams and rivers onlycaused abit of
inconvenience withwashoutsand slips.
However, thankstofour decadesof
neglect, and the Resource Management
Act, the predictions of thoseofuswho
grew up with actual on the ground
experienceway back in the 80s and 90s,
backed up by governmentfinanced
catchment/drainage boards, wereignored.
Now we can onlysit back and say ‘‘told
you so’’.
Whathappened was no “act of God’’. It
was purely and simply the result of
government neglect/responsibility,
handed to bureaucratswith little
collective life experience.
Now all New Zealand is paying the
price, and with awarmingclimate
spawning moreunreliable storm periods,
it can only get worse.
Every time Itake aroam aroundthe
backroads, some Ihaven’t travelledfor
30+ years,Iam horrifiedbywhat Isee.
Streamsand creeks chokedwith yearsof
accumulated debris —willows, old mans
beard —all ahaven for the exploding
weeds/vermin.
What hitsmehardest is where have all
the sheepgone, and the farming families
that keptthe country clean. Ihave seen
hillsides of forestry,nofirebreaks, slash
waiting to slide off into the catchment
areas,volunteer wilding escapees from
forests establishingthemselveson
roadsides —and some nassella tussocks —
miles from Waipara.
There is lots of official bleating from
those on high about the state of natures
affairs. It is apity they can’t do anything
more practical than blame the farmers.
How longsince you heard the skylarks
singing, and saw the wax eyes and finches
flitting around.Isaw alonely fantailthe
otherday whereonce theywere very
common. All but gone thanks to the
government sponsoredenvironmental
neglectofthe “commons”.Upuntil our
caretaking responsibilities were usurped
by the RMA that was part of what we did
—every day —look after the land. A
downpournow couldstartanavalanche of
rubbishbecause the ground is saturated
for the first time in adecade. Willows are
already eroded waiting to go, and alogjam
situation could eventuate —then boom,
down she comes —noWaiparabridges.
The alarming pity is popularitypolitics
rule,regardless of party, so don’t expect
any improvement in the near future.

Volunteers keep trains on track
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Thanks to 300 to 400 hours of voluntary
work done onsite each week, the Weka
Pass Railway charitable society
continues to build up ahead of steam.
From Monday to Sunday, there is
always work happening at Waipara, the
Glenmark and Waikari Stations, and
behind the scenes.
Monday is earmarked for businesses,
schools and tour group charters to visit,
with shiftworkers and semiretired
volunteers looking after the visitors.
Tuesday is one of the busiest days of
the week at the depot as the carriage
restoration team, apassionate group of
carpenters, painters and anyone else
enthusiastic enough to lend ahand,
gather.
The 1930s carriages are now cared for
more than ever thanks to the efforts of
the passionate crew.
The engineering team also meet at the
depot on Tuesdays, and activities range
from locomotive maintenance to the
completion of rolling stock mechanical
inspections, along with maintenance
and even gardening.
The track gang arrive on aWednesday
comprising about half adozen
committed volunteers who work rain or
shine to help keep the 1881 built stretch
of permanent way in safe working order.
They work on arange of tasks from
sleeper replacement and ballasting to
maintaining the bridge and 62 culverts.
The executive committee of the
charitable society meets on Thursday
nights, at least once amonth to make
decisions about the operations, projects,
marketing and financing of the society's
current and future undertakings.
Friday is typically quiet though
volunteers often turn up. It is not
uncommon for charters to be booked for
Friday nights, particularly in spring and

early summer.
Some volunteers, particularly the
younger crew and out of towners, choose
to stay at the railway for the weekend to
volunteer, socialise and watch the trains
roll by at night. There are always plenty
of beds in the bunk car accommodation
carriage.
Saturday is the main work day at the
Waipara depot, beginning with DEloco
shunting vehicles around to get them in
the appropriate positions.
Tasks can vary from brake overhauls,
to installing heaters in carriages, and
repainting wagons or locomotives.
Sunday is operation day. If steam
hauled, the driver, fireman and loco
trainee will be on the job by 6.30am to
light the fire. By 9am, the rest of the
crew arrives, with the train departing at
11.30am, arriving at the Waikari Station
at about 12.30pm, before returning to
Glenmark.
Asecond round trip runs at 2pm,
returning to Glenmark at 3.45pm.
By 5pm, the engine crew head home,
exhausted, and always with awhite
smile, contrasting against afilthy face.

WASTE DISPOSAL LEVY: Due to increasing waste costs
from 1 July, including the waste disposal levy (a central
government charge) which is rising from $10 to $20 per tonne,
the cost of our refuse bags are increasing from $3.00 to $3.30
each. Gate fees for waste via Amberley Transfer Station has
increased from $255/tonne to $268/tonne. Revised rates at
our other Transfer Stations also apply.
DOG REGISTRATIONS DUE: Have you received your dog
registration forms? If not, please ring Council on 03 3148 816.
EARTHQUAKE PRONE BUILDINGS: Anew national system
for managing earthquake-prone buildings which came into
effect on 1July 2017 has meant that HDC is now required to
identify potential earthquake-prone buildings. The three profile
categories are: anunreinforced masonry building; apre-1976
building three or more storeys or 12 metres, or greater in
height above the lowest ground level; or apre-1935 buildings,
one or two storeys.
Balmoral Fire Lookout awinner
Acommunity effort to restore the Balmoral Fire Lookout has
been recognised at the recent Canterbury Heritage Awards.
It received joint first place alongside The Arts Centre Te
Matatiki Toi Ora, inthe ‘Public Realm Saved and Restored’
category this month.
Hawarden Waikari Lions Club members have dedicated
numerous hours tothe restoration ofthe Lookout, which was
built in 1940 to accommodate astaff member employed to
keep watch and report on any fire risks in the Balmoral Forest.
Due towildfires instate forests becoming extremely common,
12 of these lookouts were built throughout Canterbury from
1922 onward, of which only four remain.
Fun
fact!
Aword fromyour Mayor, Marie Black
The past month has served us agenerous dose of challenging
weather, culminating in agiant leap from seriously dry to very wet
conditions.
June 2021 will be infamously remembered for its back to back
significant rain events, with some unusually mild days in-between.
Across Canterbury were great displays of community spirit both
rurally and in the urban areas, people helping each other to move
stock and get belongings above the line of the encroaching water.
The Government has released some funds to assist landowners in
their recovery from the floods, the criteria for dispersal yet to be
determined.
Many of us had our ‘boots filled’ with wisdom last week when the
All Black’s mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka spoke to apacked
hall at Glenmark Rugby Club. He stated that “Clear thinking is
KING” and discussed the importance of balance to boost your
energy, focus, creativity, productivity, and one’s happiness. These
components are essential as we all grapple with conditions within
our lives outside of our control.
Iamvery pleased to be receiving afurther round of funding for the
Mayor's Taskforce For Jobs programme. This influential scheme
has seen 50 young people from Hurunui into sustainable
employment over the past twelve months. It is agreat credit to the
young people, their employers and HDC who have worked in
collaboration to ensure this success. Ilook forward to ensuring
continued strong outcomes for the year ahead.
We are almost there with the sign off of our Long Term Plan
‘Finding The Fair Way’ –this is asubstantial body of work in the
life of Council planning and preparation for the next 10 years.
Without your input it is adocument without voice, and Iamgrateful
for those who have taken the time to provide feedback on the
proposal.
Recently Ihave had the privilege to be part ofmany volunteer
awards nights, for both Fire Brigades and St John. Ithank you all
for this contribution to our fantastic district - being called a
volunteer is a precious title and one that is to be admired-
“Volunteers don't get paid -not because you are worthless, but
because you are priceless.”
Kia kaha and thankyou.
"The importance of balance to
boost your energy, focus,
creativity, productivity, and
one’s happiness......."
In 20/21 from Hurunui -more than 600 tonnes of glass has been crushed and used in roading, more than 170 tonnes ofscrap
metal has been recycled, more than 450 tonnes of paper, card, plastic bottles and cans have been recycled via EcoCentral in
Christchurch, and more than 150 tonnes of green waste has been converted into mulch. Clean paper, card, plastics (1,2 and

Embrace Fiji given aboost
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Young entrepreneurs ... Sophie and Christina are hoping their
magazine, titled Aeipath, will be successful.
Business competition
Anationalcompetitionis
unearthing somebudding
young entrepreneurs at
Rangiora High School.
Year 13 Rangiora High
Schoolbusiness studentsare
competinginthe Young
Entrepreneurs Scheme,a
yearlong national
competition aimedatthem
starting up business.
So far students in the class
have invented self drying
bags, biodegradablehand
sanitiser pods and even
educationaltoiletpaper.
Christina Malcolm and
SophieKiddey are developing
an onlinemagazine, Aeipath,
suitable for findingupcoming
New Zealand local musicians.
‘‘As ahuge supporter of New
Zealandmusic, Iconstantly
struggle with finding new
artists as all the local tunes
are so washedout by
internationalcelebrities,’’
says Sophie who has grownup
playing her own music.
The magazine willfeaturea
new artisteach week, so that
finding new local musicis
simpler thanever.
Sophie’s inspiration behind
the magazine is her personal
passion for New Zealand
music.
“I havesomany talented
friends that I’vemet through
being involved with the local
music scene, and they struggle
to get anyone to hear their art.
Aeipath is designed to fix
that.”
Swimming is proving to be just
the tonic for Christine Patterson.
Christine, who has been
battling depression for over a
decade, has taken the plunge,
and is back in the pool, which is
proving to be agreat place to find
solace.
Recently she swam 100 lengths
of Rangiora’s Dudley Park pool.
Her efforts were not just for
her own wellbeing however, but
to help raise funds for a
Salvation Army project, Embrace
Fiji,aretreat for women.
‘‘For me personally, through
helping these ladies in Fiji, I
have 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 pain
in her feet Plantar fasciitis.
With the pain being so horrific,
feet bandaged, unable to swim,
unable to walk, unable to
continue her lifeguard work, and
unable to be aswim instructor, or
work at an elderly persons home,
Christine became isolated.
The February 2011
Christchurch earthquake also
took its toll.
‘‘With the sale of our house,
and unable to begin our new
build, it must have been all too
much and depression set in.
Once the bandages were off,
she couldn’t bring herself to get
back into the pool.
But hearing about Embrace
Fiji,Christine made it her goal to

least one Fijian lady go to the
retreat, by swimming 100,
sponsored 25 metre lengths of the
Dudley Park pool.
Once back in the water,
Christine found she was
‘‘surprisingly happy’’. Each
Tuesday for three weeks she
swam, culminating in tackling
the 100 lengths. Her efforts are
helping 20 women attend the
retreat.
Embrace Fiji is the Salvation
Army New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga
and Samoa Women's Ministries
Territorial Project for 2021. ‘‘I
would like to say ahuge thank
you to folk in Rangiora, and
beyond, for your generosity in
sponsoring this swim, to support
the ladies in Fiji.’’
People can still donate to the
cause with forms available from
the Salvation Army office in

Support is available for those who are
‘‘parenting again’’.
Agrandparentsraising grandchildren

Community Wellbeing North Canterbury
Trust twoyearsago to support agrowing

Sharon Ward, whoisraising two

need for aseparate grandparents’ support

‘‘Ifind it so amazing.It’s the onlygroup

Marie Simpson, one of Community

when grandparents step in it is generally
following trauma,whichcreates added
challenges and canleadtobehavioural
issues.
‘‘Grandparentshavetheirmokointheir

everyone’s situation is different.’’
Because it is generally considered a
temporaryarrangement,many
grandparents are limited in what support
they are eligible for, Marie says.
‘‘When it comestofinancial support, it
depends on what court ordersare in place.
Sometimestemporary arrangements can
last years,but if they don’t havefull

Grandparents face different challenges

Work needed to reduce risks
By DAVID HILL
Anew study hopes to reduce the risk of
falls.
AUniversity of Otago study involving
North Canterbury residents hopes to
better understand ‘‘street conditions’’
and their ‘‘relationship with falling
outdoors’’.
Senior lecturer Dr Angela Curl says
falling over and the fear of falling can
raise anxiety about walking outside,
limiting out of home activities.
‘‘We know the condition of footpaths
and urban environments impact how
comfortable people feel walking, how
much they walk and [leads to] afear of
falling.’’
She says 44 people participated in a
study across 12 workshops, with four
workshops held in Kaiapoi and
Rangiora.
Participants ranged in age from 32 to 92
years, with the average age being 69.
‘‘We did recruit through Age Concern
and mainly targeted older adults, but we
didn’t restrict who could attend. There
was quite arange of people in terms of
mobility issues,’’ Dr Curl says.
‘‘Most people were very active and,
despite concern about falling and often
feeling unsafe, they did get out and walk
alot.
‘‘For some people this means driving to
areserve, or getting out of town, but not
everybody can do this so we need to
ensure neighbourhood streets are safe
from risk of falls.’’
Once people have afall it can reduce
selfconfidence, Dr Curl says.
‘‘Sometimes people who had been very
committed walkers, start walking less
and might go out in the car even just
down to the local shops.
‘‘In one case someone had stopped
taking neighbours’ dogs and children for
walks, showing the impact on connection
Stronger ...
Improving your strength and balance will help reduce the risk of afall.

and community.’’
She says 40 percent of participants had
fallen in the last 12 months, with 70% of
those having fallen more than once,
while the other 60% ‘‘expressed ahigh
level of concern about falling’’.
The research team has used data from
St John Ambulance as well as
participants to identify where falls have
occurred.
An audit tool has been developed, with
2500 locations audited.
Almost all of the locations had at least
one obstruction, such as poles, signs,
overhanging vegetation, manholes or
grates and litter bins. Participants also
commented on bus stops, uneven ground,
rough surfaces, chairs and tables outside,
changing levels across driveways and
cars parked on the footpath.
Dr Curl says there is more data
analysis to be completed and the
research team will continue to
disseminate data at workshops.
‘‘There are things individuals can do
such as the ‘steady as you go’ falls
prevention classes that work on balance
and stability, but there is aneed for more
consideration of the needs of the ageing
population in the design of our towns and
cities.’’
She encourages people to report any
potential hazards by using
SnapSendSolve.

Aqua park
consultation
Community consultationonthe
proposed aqua play park in Kaiapoi
is open untilJuly 14.
The Waimakariri District Council
has received aproposal from the
WHoW CharitableTrust to install a
temporary aquaplay park within
NCF Reserve in Kaiapoi.
The playpark would be primarily
made up of floating bouncycastles
and inflatable pontoons on
Courtenay Lake, with supporting
features including apoint of sale
container, coffeeand small food, a
storage shed,picnic tables, a
spectator area,lifeguardstand and
toiletfacilities.
Around1554 square metres of the
lake would be used for the park,
which would operatefor up to six
monthsofthe year duringthe peak
summermonths and school
holidays.
Duringthe offseason, the
inflatables and all other temporary
buildings would be removed.
The trust wouldneed to meetall
resource consentrequirements for
the activity to go ahead.
Water qualitytesting is being
undertakenbyWHoW, following
Environment Canterbury
guidelinesand the Trust is also
working with ECantolook at any
potential impacts the projectmay
have on wildlife in the reserve.
The council says this type of
facility couldenhancethe

AgriKids ready for action
By DAVID HILL
North Loburn School’s Karetu
Kids don’t have to look far for
inspiration ahead of tomorrow’s
(Friday, July 2) national AgriKids
final in Christchurch.
The school has had along
tradition in the annual AgriKids
competition’s 10 year history,
having competed in several
AgriKids finals including the
Gumboot Gang being national
runnersup at Feilding in 2017.
This year’s Karetu Kids team
comprises Regan Herlihy (12),
John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury
(13), who are all competing for the
first time.
Regan’s older brother and
sister have competed in past
AgriKids competitions, while
John’s dad is apast Young
Farmers Club member, so there is
no shortage of advise for the team.
All three are rural kids, with
John hailing from asheep and
deer farm, Cate comes from a
lifestyle block with goats, while
Regan lives on afarm and his dad
is ashearer.
‘‘I think we are pretty well
covered because we have arange
of knowledge between us,’’ Cate
says.
The team has had afew morning
and after school sessions to help
them prepare and has been
making good use of the ‘‘hints’’
provided to the finalists last week
of the things they may be tested
on, John says.
‘‘We’ve thought about what the
hints might be telling us,’’ Cate
says.
‘‘And we’ve learnt about Young
Karetu Kids ... North Loburn School’s team of Regan Herlihy (12, left),
John Lundy (12) and Cate Ambury (13) is excited about competing in the
national AgriKids final tomorrow.

Farmers and where they came
from,’’ Ryan adds.
In the last few days before the
final the team was due to have a
session on ATVs in preparation
for the Honda module and
planned to brush up on their
general knowledge.
Being in the national final
means two days off school, with
teams participating in an opening
ceremony in Christchurch this
afternoon.
The AgriKids modules will be
held at New Zealand Young
Farmers’ headquarters at
Innovation Park in Templeton
tomorrow between 7.30am and
3.30pm, alongside the FMG Young
Farmer of the Year and Junior
Young Farmer practical
competitions.
Teams will compete in various
modules, arace and awritten test.
Karetu Kids will be lining up
against two teams from Waikari
School and 18 other teams from
around the country.
The AgriKids winners will be
announced at afunction in the
Christchurch Town Hall
tomorrow evening.

West Eyreton community displays its wheels
By DAVID HILL
The West Eyreton community
brought their wheels to school
last week to ‘‘ignite’’ student
passion for learning.
Around 20 different types of
vehicles rolled into West
Eyreton School on Wednesday,
June 23, as part of an Ignite
learning programme, where
senior pupils have been
learning about different forms of
transport.
Teacher Sarah Wardle said
she was pleased with the
community support, which saw a
range of agricultural, work,
recreational and vintage
vehicles on display.
‘‘We’ve got different types of
transport and machinery from
around the district. We’ve got
farming and contracting
machinery, vintage cars, racing

owner Izzy de Roo (12).

enjoyed driving her Shetland pony,
Rowan (21), around school.
‘‘He loves the attention,’’ she
said.
Shetland ponies like Rowan
were once used in coalmining

A1928 Oakland car attracted
plenty of attention, with owner
Graeme Read, of West Eyreton,
only too happy to support his
grandchildren, who attend the
school.
‘‘Some of the children are
pretty amazed that this car is
older than they’re
grandparents.’’

Strong buyer interest in Kaikoura bulls
By DAVID HILL
Acommercial Angus bull
produced abit of surprise at a
Kaikoura bull sale last week.
Angus bull Woodbank 9110
sold for $16,000, outstripping the
prices paid for stud Angus bulls
at the combined Matariki
Hereford /Woodbank Angus onfarm
bull sale held in the
Clarence Valley, north of
Kaikoura, on June 22.
‘‘It’s what happens when
commercial guys see something
they like,’’ Woodbank Angus coowner
Ben Murray said.
‘‘People are prepared to pay
for quality genetics and the
results they’re getting are pretty
good.’’
Angus bulls were primarily
bred as maternal sires, to
produce cows to build up an
Angus herd.
‘‘You’re breeding for the
females you keep in your herd.
Everyone wants good females to
keep in their herd for aperiod of
time.’’
Three Angus stud bulls sold
for $15,000, while 54 of the 58
Angus bulls offered for sale were
sold for an average of $9204,
which was afitting way to mark
the stud’s 85th anniversary.
‘‘We were very happy with how
it all went, we sold 54 bulls
which was absolutely brilliant,’’
Mr Murray said.
‘‘We were very well supported
from Marlborough and North
Canterbury. It’s always good to
keep them (the bulls) in the
district and to see the buyers
keep coming back.’’
Other buyers travelled from as

far afield as Gisborne and
Wairoa in the North Island and
from Southland and South Otago
in the south, he said.
The Woodbank Angus stud was
founded in 1936 by Mr Murray’s
grandfather, while the
Woodbank farm was established
by his greatgrandfather in 1900.
The farm was later subdivided
after World War 2, with
Mr Murray’s greatuncle
establishing the Matariki
Hereford stud.
‘‘We’ve got an awesome
relationship with Matariki and it
suits our clients well, as alot of
guys like to chop and change
between the breeds, so it works
for both of us,’’ he said.
Today Mr Murray runs the 450
cow Angus stud with his father
Johnny, while his son Tom is the
latest generation on the farm.
The Matariki Hereford stud
had asuccessful day selling 58 of
the 59 Hereford bulls offered for
sale for an average price of
$8448, with the day’s top price
being $20,000 paid for Matariki
Memphis in lot 46 by Koanui
Polled Herefords of Havelock
North. Two Hereford stud bulls
also sold for $18,000.

Resilience message
for changing world
By DAVID HILL
Looking to the future and
resilience were the focus
of afarmers’ conference
held in Christchurch last
week.
Around100 farmers
attended Beef +Lamb
New Zealand’s annual
FarmSmart conference at
Addington Raceway,
where Canterburybased
board directors Nicky
Hyslopand Kate Acland
discussed the
organisation’s
referendum and northern
South Island farmers’
council chairperson
FraserAverykicked
thingsoff by talking about
resilience.
‘‘The key message is we
are in areferendum year,
so we really encourage
farmers to get out and
vote. It’s justsoimportant
that we have their
mandate,’’ Mrs Hyslop
said.
Areferendum is held
every six yearstogive
farmers achancetohave
their say on the futureof
the levyfunded
organisation, with voting
closing on July9.
Achanging world, the
environment, trade,
recruitingyoungpeople,
research and
development,genetics
and influencing
governmentpolicy were
prioritiesfor BLNZ going
forward, Mrs Hyslop said.
‘‘As farmers we
understandthe bow wave
of issues thatare coming
forward and the change
ahead of us, so that’sone
of our goals is to make
sure in terms of policy that
we influence wherever we
can sensible outcomes.
We knowthat’s really
frustratingfarmers at the
moment.
‘‘It’snot the direction of
travel, we certainly
support good water
quality, lookingafter our
soils,biodiversity, all of
those really important
thingsand mitigating
climate change,we

of thatsolution, but we
want to see sensible policy
and we’re not always
seeingthat.’’
The recent flood event
on the back of the long
running drought had abig
impactonfarmers in the
regionand new board
memberMrs Acland’s
property was in the midst
of the flooding.
‘‘We’ve had close to half
our annualrainfall in one
weekend, but it’s
something we faceas
farmers and one of the
themestoday is about
resilience and dealing
with these events and
remaining strongand
resilient in the face of it,’’
Mrs Aclandsaid.
In his opening address,
Mr Averynoted the
Aclands had received
more rain in five days than
his farm receivedin18
months, whichhighlights
the need for resilience.
Resilience beganwith
‘‘understanding ourselves
how we manage
ourselves and the people
aroundus’’,hesaid.

‘‘Life happens. How we
deal with it is what define
us.
‘‘Some people tellme
that rightnow is the most
challenging time they’ve
ever seeninfarming,but
for me I’ve never seen
more opportunities. So it’s
all about mindset.’’
Mr Avery also noted the
growing
acknowledgement of the
roles women have always
played in the rural sector,
which was echoed by
Canterbury’s two BLNZ
board directors.
‘‘I think throughoutthe
countryyou’ll find
farmingisapartnership,
so it’s not unusual to have
women really strongly
involved,’’ Mrs Acland
said.
‘‘And Ithinkit’s just that
now we are seeing so
much more
acknowledgement and
confidencefrom women to
come forward. But they’ve
always been an important
part of farming
partnerships,’’ Mrs Hyslop
added.

Kaiapoi remains top of the table
RUGBY
BY LINDSAY KERR,
PETER WILLIAMS, AND
DAYLE SUTHERLAND
Kaiapoi and Saracens have
consolidated their positions at
the topofthe Luisetti Seeds
NorthCanterbury premier
rugbycompetition, but the
battle for the remaining semi
finalplaces intensified last
Saturday, after the completion
of round four.
GlenmarkCheviot returned
to the winners circleafter
accounting for Hurunui, and
Ashley bounced back from a
heavydefeat by Saracens to
comfortablyhead off Woodend.
Points after four rounds:
Kaiapoi 19, Saracens 17,
Ashley 11, Hurunui 10, Oxford
9, GlenmarkCheviot 9, Ohoka
5, Woodend 1.
Kaiapoi too strong
Kaiapoi’s strength across the
park wasevident underlining
why its the topranked teamin
the Luisetti SeedsNorth
Canterbury rugbycompetition.
In an entertaining, freeflowing
match Kaiapoi
comfortablybeat Oxford 3922.
Its strongrunning backs
thrived on aconstant streamof
possession provided by the
hardworking and mobile
forward pack.
Its consistent scrum,a
feature all season, was amajor
strength,with the Oxfordpack
pushed back on afew
occasions, sometimesupto10
metres. Kaiapoi also gained
the ascendancy at lineout time.
Lock Nacanieli Namata,
playing in his 100th matchfor
Kaiapoi,revelledinhis work
helping gainlineout
possession and frequently
popping up in generalplay
with the ball in hand. Halfback,Codey
Grimes, skilfully
distributed aplethora of
quality ball to his backs.
LoganBell, seemed to make
adent in the line every time he
touched the ball, and Reuben
Tiweka and Jovilisi Toleqa
were aconstant threat.
If there was achink in
Kaiapoi’s armour,itwas its
goalkicking. the usually
reliable Taine JacobsLawson
had already sprayed three
penalty chances in the first 12
minutes and even achange of
kicker brought littlejoy. Only
two of their seventries were
converted.
But Oxford was resilient.As
in recent weeks, theytackled
their hearts out and whenever
Kaiapoi threatened to openup
asizeable margin, Oxford
found away to clawback the
margin.Itgrabbed the few
chancesitwas presented with.
Halfback Matt Roberts and
hooker DannyBrooker were
bothrewarded for their
diligence with opportunistic
tries. Jesse Houston was a
standout in awellbeatenpack.
Scoreboard: Kaiapoi 39

Successfor

Saracens needed the full 80
minutes to secure the points
against avaliant Ohokaside.It
wasfittingfor Saracens to win
on club day, and alsocelebrate
newcenturion Ricky Allin’s
100gamesand double
centurionBrentHancox’s200
games.
Ohoka however,was
determined to spoil the party
and took advantage of
possession and territorytogo
into the half 1510ahead.
Ohoka’s ZanePaterson and
Tobias Pulleygave the visitors
ball running options, leaving
the visitors confident heading
into the break. The old adage of
securingfirstpointsafter half
time couldn’t have been more
important. The home side
claimedthe advantage,scoring
wide to lockthe scoresat15all.
Theturning pointfor the
home side came late in the
game. With Ohoka up 1815,
Saracens second intercept try
handed themomentum over.
Two consecutive tries against a
tiring Ohokadefence, handing
the home sidea3818victory.

Ashley had little difficulty
beating Woodend,runningin
nine tries for a640demolition.
The scoreline was alittle
flattering withWoodend’s
tigerish defence at times
suggesting alesserside would
have conceded more points. A
last minute 80 metre Scott
Barber intercept try added to
theiragony.
Woodend did have its
moments on attackand after
trailing022 at halftime was
closetoscoring earlyinthe
second half, but came up short.
Ahat trick of triesfrom
Ashley’s front rower Josh

Mixed results for Rangiora hockey teams
HOCKEY
Rangiora Hockey Club's division 1men's
team took awhile to warm up in its home
game against University of Canterbury
Spartans, conceding agoal in the first
couple of minutes, then anotherbefore
the end of the firsthalf.
But it shored up its defence after halftime
and worked its way back into the
game, with several promising forays into
the UC circle.
Lachlan Miller scored awell crafted
individual goal and then John Single
netted one late in the game to even the
scoreline.
Rangiora division 1women also earned
some much neededpoints with a1all
draw against University of Canterbury
Huns.
In the Sunday Super League Men's
Championships the Rangiora Colts
comfortably accounted for University of
Canterbury Barbarians, but an understrength
Oddfellows team couldn't match
Avon.
In the women's championship
Rangiora Piwakawaka lost 4nil to
Waikirikiri, which wasactually a
considerable improvement on the 80
scoreline the last time these two teams
met.
In the midweekcompetition all
Rangiora teamshad good wins. Rangiora
Hurunui Hares downedMalvern 51 in
the women's division 1grade, turning
aroundaloss to this team in round 1.
Rangiora Allsorts also turned arounda
round 1loss to Avon with adominant
performance over the blue and golds in
the division 2men's clash. The final
scoreline was 53, but it could have been
even more had Jon Green not had two
goals disallowed.

In the juniorcompetition unbeaten
Rangiora Rabbits(Kwik Sticks girls’

top of the table clash with the also
unbeaten HSOB/Burnside Pixies. The
Rabbits got two goalsupinthe first half
only to seePixies hit back quickly to even
the score.
The Rabbits again took atwo goal lead
which Pixies cancelled with two more
goals of its own. In the end it tooka
couple of individual goals to Catherine
