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 />

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 />

As National’s MentalHealth<br />
spokesperson, and as a<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
MP whoisfrequently approached by<br />
residents telling me they wanttosee<br />
action and not rhetoric in the mentalhealth<br />
space, Ibelieveitisakey part<br />
of my roletohold the governmentto<br />

Lastweek,Iascertainedfrom the<br />
Health Ministerthat despite<br />
promises, verylittle hasbeenspent<br />
on inpatientmentalhealth<br />
facilities.<br />
In fact, promisedspending has<br />
resulted in only five extra acute<br />
mentalhealthbeds.<br />
Iwas disappointed by the<br />
minister’s responsetopressurefrom<br />
the mediaattention thatcame from<br />
my questions,which was to saythat a<br />
review of thespendingcouldbe<br />
announced. Thisisnot goodenough<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 />
The 1930s carriages are now cared for<br />
more than ever thanks to the efforts of<br />
the passionate crew.<br />
The engineering team also meet at the<br />
depot on Tuesdays, and activities range<br />
from locomotive maintenance to the<br />
completion of rolling stock mechanical<br />
inspections, along with maintenance<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 />

“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 />
sponsored 25 metre lengths of the<br />
Dudley Park pool.<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 />
retreat.<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 />
number of residents being calleduponto<br />
parentfor thesecond time.<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 />
involvedbecause we havetodealwith it as<br />
aparent and as agrandparent, because<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 />

By DAVID HILL<br />
Food is bringingthe community<br />

held in the Waikari HallonMonday<br />
evening.<br />
‘‘We’vebeen getting 12 or 13 people<br />
each time, whichispretty good and<br />
it’s different people turning up each<br />
time.<br />
‘‘We’vehad five different<br />
nationalities coming alongsofar, so<br />
it’s quite nicetoget them out and to<br />
talk about whatwehave in common.<br />
‘‘We’veset up acommunity care<br />
groupinthe Hawarden /Waikari area<br />
and it’s about how do we get people<br />
out and about. It’s really about<br />
connection.’’<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 />

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 />
travel, we certainly<br />

soils,biodiversity, all of<br />

and we’re not always<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 />
asizeable margin, Oxford<br />
found away to clawback the<br />
margin.Itgrabbed the few<br />
chancesitwas presented with.<br />
Halfback Matt Roberts and<br />
hooker DannyBrooker were<br />
bothrewarded for their<br />
diligence with opportunistic<br />
tries. Jesse Houston was a<br />
standout in awellbeatenpack.<br />

Saracens needed the full 80<br />
minutes to secure the points<br />
against avaliant Ohokaside.It<br />
wasfittingfor Saracens to win<br />
on club day, and alsocelebrate<br />
newcenturion Ricky Allin’s<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 />
Theturning pointfor the<br />
home side came late in the<br />
game. With Ohoka up 1815,<br />
Saracens second intercept try<br />

Two consecutive tries against a<br />
tiring Ohokadefence, handing<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 />
goal against Southern United. Thomas van der Heiden is in support.<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 />
