Howl of aProtest abeginning 

By ROBYN BRISTOW AND 

SHELLEY TOPP 

The convoys of tractors, utes, and trucks, 

along with hundreds of dogs that rolled 

in to North Canterbury town’s last 

Friday in support of AHowl of aProtest, 

is just the beginning of acampaign to 

drive change, says an organiser. 

Hurunui’s Jamie McFadden says if the 

Government does not acknowledge by 

August 16, that the regulatory system 

down on the farm is unsustainable and 

unworkable, then further action will 

follow. 

‘‘We need change. We have reached 

the point where the regulatory system is 

unsustainable,’’ says Mr McFadden, the 

chair of the Rural Advocacy Network 

which has aligned itself with the 

Groundswell movement, which has its 

roots in Southland. 

‘‘The Freshwater legislation is 

unworkable, Significant Natural Areas 

(SNAs) regulations are unworkable, and 

the Government will never be able to 

force them on the people of Hurunui 

again. Neither the council (Hurunui 

District Council), or the community will 

tolerate that,’’ says Mr McFadden. 

‘‘These regulations all fall under the 

Resource Management Act (RMA), the 

whole of which needs reviewed,’’ he 

says. 

The Government has indicated a 

review of the RMA, and it needs to 

address farmers concerns about the 

unrealistic regulations being imposed 

on them. 

People on the ground, putting in the 

hard yards and who had solutions, 

needed to be consulted to find workable 

ways of achieving the outcomes the 

Government, and farmers, wanted to 

achieve. 

In the meantime the cost of trying to 

meet regulations was getting ‘‘all out of 

whack’’ financially, and emotionally, 

and the turn out last Friday showed the 

rural community was fed up, said Mr 

McFadden.

Mr McFadden says the Governmentneeds 

to go back to the drawingboard over the 

RMA, and find out ‘‘whatisworking on the 

ground, and what isn’t’’. 

Meanwhile he is keen to establish a 

Groundswell movementinCanterbury 

with coordinatorscovering thekey 

geographical areas. 

Convoys of tractors rolled into Kaikoura, 

Cheviot, Culverden,Amberley and 

Rangiora last Friday, alongwith utes, 

vans,trucks, contracting equipment and 

dogs,gridlocking towns duetothe sheer 

volume of vehicles.They stoodshouldertoshoulder 

with their urban cousins, 

whiletrafficheld up by the convoys tooted, 

drivers wavedand people lining the 

streets yelledsupport. Even preschoolers 

and retired folkstood in support. 

In Rangioraabout 350 tractors and utes 

rolled through the central business district 

(CBD)causingtraffic jams in HighStand 

Ashley St and attractinggroupsof 

onlookers four and five deep in places. 

About1000 protesters, many with their 

farm dogs,headed to the front lawn 

outside the Waimakariri District Council 

service centre for speeches by farmer, 

Dave Winter, of Clarkville,and 

Waimakariri District Deputy Mayor 

Neville Atkinson. 

An organiser of Rangiora’s protest, Craig 

McAllister,ofCust, said the size of the 

protest and the support the organisers had 

received wasoverwhelming. 

‘‘We didn’t know whattoexpect, but it 

showsthe concern everyone has. We have 

made alot of changes but we keepgetting 

bombarded with more,’’hesaid. 

‘‘A littlerecognition for what we have 

done would go along way.’’ 

Mr Winter, when asked to MC Rangiora's 

Howl of aProtestsaid he was surehewas 

‘‘thesacrificial lamb’’ ratherthan ‘‘the 

chosen one’',but was happy to speak at the 

protest. 

‘‘It is our futureweare trying to secure,’’ 

he said. 

From theback of aute Mr Winter 

queried why everyone,young and old, was 

there. ‘‘Becausewehave all had agutsful,’’ 

he said. 

He ended his speech withastatement 

from Groundswell NZ outlining the 

concernsabout ‘‘the unworkable 

environmental policies’’ the protest was 

focused on and ‘‘the workable solutions’’ 

Groundswell NZ was keen to promote. 

The protest hadbeen organised in ‘‘a 

spirit of cooperation, nonconfrontation 

and no intentional disruption,’’ he said. 

‘‘We encourage people attending the 

Howl to support localbusinessesand 

engage with peopleinapositive way.’’ 

Mr Atkinsontold the protestershehad 

not seensomany farmers in town on a 

Friday before and the council supported 

what theywere doing. 

‘‘This is your day.Weare with you and 

we willhelp you where we can,’’ he said.

protesters met at the Rangiora A&P 

Showgrounds where retired veterinarian 

Dave Martin, of Ashley, andMatt Kerr, a 

lifestyle blockowner and helicopter pilot 

of Swannanoa, saidthey joined the protest 

becausethey were ‘‘brassedoff’’with all 

the regulations which were‘`punitive and 

impractical’’. 

They wanted to see more consultation. 

‘‘Farmers need morevoice and the 

Government needstolisten.’’ 

In Amberley hundredsoftractors, utes, 

along withtrucks, contracting equipment, 

and people and theirdogs turnedout. 

Jessie Moffatt, aged 15, astudent whose 

parentsfarm at Okuku, spoke,reminding 

the huge crowd thatfood did not come 

from thebackroom of the supermarket. 

‘‘It starts in the paddocks.Itstarts on the 

farm withthe farmers producing aproduct 

they can be proud of.Noone in the world 

cares morefor theirproperty, produce, 

animalsand environmentthan farmers,’’ 

she said. 

‘‘The governmentgoes on about how we 

need to start planting moretrees, yet want 

us to fence off our waterways with wooden 

posts. See the issuethere?’’ 

The costofputting up fences was going 

to be hundredsand thousands, money 

farmerswould have to find from ‘‘our own 

hardearnedmoney less all the taxes’’. 

‘‘By putting up thesefencesthe 

governmentthinks that they are savingthe 

environment, but really it is goingtocause 

awhole load of even worse issuessuch as 

flooding, pest infestation,deforestation,’’ 

Jessie said. 

Farming was alifestyle,requiring long 

hours. It was the country’s largest industry 

and New Zealandwas built on agriculture. 

‘‘I am appalled to witnessthis 

governmentslam farmers for climate 

change issues withunrealistic taxes and 

unworkable working and environmental 

regulations. 

‘‘I,along withGroundswell NZ, and all 

farmers,have the right to stand up for our 

way of life to stopthe government’s 

unrealisticideals.’’ 

‘‘We worksodamn hard and what do we 

get in return? Yet another tax and yet 

more unrealistic laws,’’ Jessie said. 

Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey, who 

joined the Rangioraprotest, says the 

Government’s environmental regulations 

were the latest kick in the teeth for the 

ruralsector. 

‘‘I was proud to standwith our local 

farmers today —they are an integral part 

of our community’’ he said. 

‘‘Itwas greattosee so many residents 

out in supportofthem too. It is clear this 

is an important issue and peopleacross 

the board are justifiablyangry about.” 

Mr Doocey, the National Party’s first 

mental health spokesperson, says the 

farming community had beenhit time and 

again, and worked hard to adjust to 

constantly changing rulesand regulations. 

The impacts on theirwellbeing fromthe 

uncertainty and stress was documented, 

and more change wouldinevitably create 

even more anxiety.

Opportunity knocks in Kaikoura 

By DAVID HILL 

The Kaikoura Community Op Shop 

Trust is doing what it does best —raising 

funds for its community. 

The op shop volunteers have set agoal 

of raising nearly $120,000 to support 

emergency services in Kaikoura as part 

of its ‘‘volunteers for volunteers’’ 

project. 

Earlier this month the volunteers 

came together for their annual midwinter 

afternoon tea to present the 

Kaikoura Search and Rescue team with 

aLeica Calonox Sight Thermal Night 

Vision Camera worth $7100, in the first 

part of its latest fundraising target. 

‘‘As one of our volunteers told the 

Search and Rescue guys, ‘that’s nothing, 

it’s only aweek and ahalf of sales in our 

shop’,’’ op shop coordinator Lynda 

Scott says. 

The op shop trust is well on the way to 

raising the rest of the nearly $120,000 

target, to buy a$47,500 monitor / 

defibrillator for the Canterbury West 

Coast Air Rescue Trust’s Kaikoura 

service and $65,000 for anew van for the 

Kaikoura Volunteer Fire Brigade. 

‘‘We are so proud that we can help 

these amazing volunteer organisations 

that are on call 24/7 and provide such a 

wonderful service to the Kaikoura 

community,’’ Lynda says. 

‘‘We believe our volunteer’s efforts 

will reflect the great respect we have for 

other volunteer organisations. 

‘‘The trust expects these goals will be 

achieved by the end of this year.’’ 

The op shop was first opened in 2014 

to help the community to raise funds for 

Community effort ... Kaikoura Community Op Shop volunteers Wendy Beaven (left),

the Kaikoura Hospital, raising $140,000. 

It was so successful, the trust decided 

to keep going to raise funds for other 

causes. 

Since then $100,000 has been raised 

for Kaikoura St John, $45,000 for the 

hospital’s deck garden, $100,000 for the 

Kaikoura Community Pool and $300,000 

for the Mayfair Theatre (across two 

projects). 

Afurther $25,000 was given to the 

Kaikoura High School for its junior 

playground and the trust has also raised 

funds for the roof replacement and fit 

out of the op shop, which is in the old 

Cuddon Building on Beach Road, and 

owned by the Kaikoura District Council. 

Lynda says the op shop is run entirely 

by volunteers, with 53 volunteers in all, 

and is open Monday to Friday 10am to 

4pm and Saturdays from 10.30am to 2pm. 

‘‘It’s totally voluntary and our 

overheads are low, so all the funds go 

back into the community.’’ 

Roading projects on track despite flood 

By DAVIDHILL 

The recentflood event has caused some 

delays to roading projects aroundthe 

Waimakariri district, but work is 

continuing apace, council staff say. 

Several projects in Southbrook, 

Woodend and Kaiapoiare either 

completed, nearing completion or getting 

underway. 

In Southbrook, upgrade work on Flaxton 

Road and the installation of the

whichislikely to be in the spring. 

Staffare working on the design of traffic 

lights and will begin engaging with 

affected residents soononproposalsfor 

safety improvements on SouthbrookRoad 

in the vicinityofSouthbrook and Rangiora 

New Life schools. 

The council has money budgeted in the 

2021/31 Long TermPlan for designwork in 

the 2021/22financial yearand for 

constructionwork next year, which is 

subjecttoWaka Kotahi New Zealand 

TransportAgency (NZTA) funding 

approval. 

East and west Rangiora bypasseswere 

proposed in the LTP and are still in the 

pipeline,withsomeplanningunder way. 

The easternlink route is being protected 

by applying for adesignation on the 

underlying land as partofthe proposed 

District Plan, which will be consulted on 

later in the year. 

The council is also looking into 

protecting acorridorfor anorthwestern 

link between RiverRoad and Lehmans 

Road. 

Staff anticipatethat bothofthese 

projects will be constructed overthe next 

10 to 15 years. 

In Woodend, the Rangiora /Woodend 

cycle way extension was completedon 

July 5and opened for public use. 

In Kaiapoi,the commutercycleway was 

due to have be completed at the end of 

June, but has beendelayed with work 

close to completion. 

It is expected to be open to the public by 

the end of July. 

The proposed Kaiapoi recreational 

cycleway willbeconsidered as part of the 

wider CycleNetwork Plan for the district, 

withcouncil staff due to engage with the 

public laterinthe year. 

Construction work on Kaiapoi’s‘‘shovel 

ready’’ projectgot under way lastmonth in 

Sneyd Street, withworkdue to begin on 

Beach Road next week. 

Extensive potholing, minor works and 

property purchases as partofthis project 

havebeen completed.

Chapman Place. 

The ‘‘shovel ready’’ project is expected 

to be completed by the end of next year.

Oxford Bird Rescue now acharitable trust 

In care ... One of the raptors being cared for by the owners of the Oxford Bird Rescue 

Charitable Trust, Scott and Tracey Bowman. 

PHOTO:SUPPLIED 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

OxfordBird Rescue has become a 

charitable trust and its new statusis 

expected to help with running costs. 

All donations to the centre willnow 

be tax deductible with donors getting33 

percent of their donation back. 

The charitable trust status also 

enables the centretoaccessgrantsthat 

were previously unavailable to them. 

Beforethe trustwas established 

OxfordBird Rescue’s owners, Scott and 

TraceyBowman, mainly fundedthe 

shelter with theirown money. 

Afew Givealittle campaignsfor 

specific requirements,fundsfrom the 

sale of the centre’s annual bird 

calendar and donations had also 

helped. 

Scott said they had tried to convert 

the centre to acharitable trust several 

times,but withoutthe help of alawyer 

it had proved too difficult. 

However that changedafter lawyer 

StevenMoe, of Christchurch’s Parry 

Field Lawyers, was shown the Oxford 

Bird Rescue's Facebook pagebyhis 

owlloving daughter. 

‘‘He reached out to us and offered his 

and the firm'sservices to create our 

charitable trust pro bono,’’ Scott said. 

‘‘The cost of establishingacharitable 

trust can be anywhere from $3000to 

$5000 so thiswas an extremely generous 

offer and without them it would have 

taken along time to savethat money.’’ 

The centreisrun under aspecific 

Department of Conservation 

rehabilitation permit that allows Scott 

and Tracey to care for native and 

endemic wildlife for up to three 

months. 

‘‘The end goal is to always to release 

these birds back into the wild. Where 

possible we try to put them backinto 

their home territory and try to get the 

rescuers to do the release so theycan 

see the resultoftheir kindnessand 

efforts.’’ 

The centreisnow caringfor 11 

harrier hawks, one falcon,six little owls 

and one morepork. 

‘‘Winter always sees an influx of 

harrier hawkswith theirnatural 

hunting prey like hares and rabbits 

scarceand hardertocatch,’’ Scott said. 

The harrier hawksrely alot moreon 

carrion (decaying fleshofanimals) on 

highways during winter whichputs 

them directly in harm’sway. 

‘‘Manyharriers are killedorseverely 

injured by vehiclestrike,’’Scott said. 

‘‘We are always keen to see people 

move carrionoff the road whenever it is 

safe to do so as thisgives hawksasafe 

meal out of harm's way.’’ 

Scottand Tracey have alsonoticed 

more hawks sufferingfrom lead 

poisoning after eating shot carrion. 

The lead from the shotgun pellets or 

bullets ends up being ingested by the 

hawksand then contaminates their 

bloodcausing clenched talons, seizures 

and eventually death. 

‘‘Birds come to us from members of 

the public, vet clinics, other bird 

rescues and we also do the 

rehabilitation for both the Christchurch 

and Dunedin wildlife hospitals,’’ Scott 

said. 

‘‘Vetlife New Zealandoperate a 

wildlife fund for us without which what 

we do would be almost impossible. 

Vetlife Oxford have anumber of avian 

experienced vets and do the bulk of our 

vet work but we have built up 

relationships with anumber of othervet 

clinics thattake in birds and do 

assessments to determine what is wrong 

and whether the injuries are fixable.’’

ahead of thelaunch in Parliament of 

theZeroSuicideAotearoareport. 

I’veoftensaidthat oneofthe biggest 

driversfor my gettingintopolitics wasa 

desire to make realchange forbetter 

mentalhealth outcomes, and Iwas 

unashamedly emotionalwhen Ispoke 

in Parliament aheadofthe report’s 

launchbythe CrossPartyMental 

Health andAddiction Wellbeing Group. 

Iadvocated foracrossparty 

approach to mental health becauseI 

believe mental healthshouldstand 

above politics. 

There’s no reason why we can’t have 

thelowestsuicide ratesinthe world 

andanessential factortothatwillbe 

political will. 

AsNational’sfirstMentalHealth 

spokesperson andfirstSuicide 

Preventionspokesperson, andan 

executive member of thecrossparty 

group, the Zero Aotearoa report gives 

me hope we canstartthe changethat’s 

needed. 

Waimakariri residentshavethrough 

theirrates investedover$100million 

over thepast20years in upgrading our 

waterinfrastructure. 

It’snosurprise, then, that our 

communitiesare concerned about the 

future of the management ofthose 

assetsunder thegovernment’swater 

managementreforms. 

While somecouncilscould welcome 

amalgamation of water management 

under acentralisedentity, others,like 

Waimakariri, mightsee fewerbenefits 

in footing thebill forpoorerperforming 

councils. 

While there isacase forchange in 

howwemanageour water across the 

country, Ibelievethe risk is too high 

under thisproposed model thatthe 

voice of districts like Waimakariri will 

be lost.Our council needs to opposethis 

modelpublicly andunequivocally by 

optingout. 

I’murging our roading authoritiesto 

pick up the pace in implementing safety 

works on Lineside Road. 

Manywillbeawareofanother 

serious crash attheintersectionwith 

Mulcocks Road. Last year,Iwas 

reassured that appropriate actionwas 

beingtaken. 

Residentswould be fairinthinking 

this sounds liketheWoodendBypass, 

wherethatcommunity satthrough 

repetitive safety consultationsandstill 

no bypasswas delivered. 

It’s concerning to hear councils 

across NewZealand areshort $420 

million offunding fromNZTAto 

maintain roads, whileNZTAitself is 

short$340milliontomaintainstate 

highways —creating a$760million hole 

in fundingfromthegovernment. 

These shortfallsarelikely to impact 

ourlocal roads. Despite Cantabrians 

payingtheir Road User Charges, we are 

missing outonvital roading 

infrastructure whileAucklanders 

celebrate the announcement of a$785 

nicetohavecycling bridge. 

Waimakariri 

Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor 

Assets community owned 

Last week Iattended the Local 

Government New Zealand Conference in 

Blenheimwith Councillors Philip 

Redmond and Paul Williams and CEO Jim 

Harland. 

The Government’s Three Waters 

Reformsdominated the conference — 

especially its announcement of a$2.5 

billion funding package. The share for 

Waimakariri was $22m conditional on 

opting into the reform programme. This 

announcement was disappointing. 

Our waterrelated assets are owned by 

the community and have avalue of $602 

million. Over the last 20 years we’ve 

invested over $100minwater 

infrastructure. So it’s not aparticularly 

equitableoffer. 

Also disappointing was the lack of a 

detailed response to the questions the 

sector, on the claimed efficiencies by the 

Government on 3Waters Reform, made. 

Despite the added incentiveof$22m we 

still do not believe the Government has put 

astrongcase for reform for our 

community. It is clear from conferencewe 

are not on our own. 

Our position remains, basedonthe 

limited information presentedsofar, we 

do not join the Government’s reform 

programme at this point. We are not 

convincedthere are benefits for the 

Waimakariri community and we need to 

consult with you before reachingaformal 

decision. 

The Government now wants to know our 

council’sposition by the end of September. 

Previously we had been told December. 

We now need to presentthe best 

information we can obtain in the coming 

months. 

We will be in touch in the coming weeks 

and holding community meetings for you 

to find out more information and get back 

to us with your thoughts. It is important for 

the councillors and myself to hear from 

you (after all the 3Waters assets belong to 

you!) before we makeaformal decision 

and advise the Government of our 

decision. 

While in Blenheimfor the conference,I 

attended the Howl of aProtest by 

Groundswelland stood sidebyside with 

otherCanterbury Mayors in supportofour 

farmers and rural community. 

Ihear there were large crowds in 

Rangiora and Kaiapoi and our council was 

well representedbyDeputy Mayor Neville 

Atkinson and other councillors who 

welcomedall who attended and passed on 

the support of the council. 

Farmers are the backboneofour 

economy. Their message to the 

governmentistoslow the reform 

programme down –from the National 

PolicyStatement on Freshwater,RMA 

Reform, SNA’s, to Ute Tax and 3Waters 

Reform. 

We back this message and made our 

viewsclear to Government Ministers. 

Hopefullyitgets through. Fundamentally I 

don’tthink any one is opposed to 

discussing new ideas and ways of doing 

things. Rushed reformwithout adequate 

time to consider the consequencesand 

without listeningtothose affected, is in no 

one’sinterest. 

The resource consent application for 

Taggarts Earthmovingtoconstruct a 

quarry at the Rangiora Racecourse has 

been declined. The decision from 

commissioners is in line with the 

recommendation from the external 

planning officerfor both ECanand the 

Waimakariri District Council who also 

recommended the consent be declined. 

The community clearly expressed their 

thoughts and I’m sure are breathing asigh 

of relief. Ultimately,whetherTaggarts 

appeal the decision is amatter for them 

and Rangiora Racecoursebut Iwould 

strongly urge both partiestocarefully 

consider the community opinion that has 

been clearly expressed in opposition. 

Dear Editor, 

On Friday, July 16, my heart sang as I 

listened in to radio talkback hearing 

hundreds of tractors, utes, tradies, hunters 

and dogs howling their protest throughout 

cities and towns of New Zealand against 

the tyranny and avalanche of unmandated 

law changes this government is forcing 

upon us all. 

Idon’t know any farmers; have been on a 

farm only afew times in my whole life, and 

though acity dweller, Ihold their heart 

beat close to me. 

Farmers are my brother and sister and I’m

Fund enables new tourist link 

Kaikoura is to receive nearly $2 million 

for the government’s Tourism 

Infrastructure Fund. 

The Kaikoura District Council has 

welcomed the announcement from 

Tourism Minister Stuart Nash that it 

will receive $1.9 million to develop a 

link pathway from the Kaikoura iSite 

along the Esplanade and Fyffe Quay to 

the seal colony at Point Kean. 

‘‘A pathway connecting key points of 

interest in Kaikoura has been 

considered by the community over a 

number of years,’’ chief executive Will 

Doughty says. 

‘‘Now, with this level of financial 

support from central government we 

can make this happen.’’ 

The link pathway will connect 

drawcards such as the Kaikoura 

Museum, iSite, Memorial Gardens, 

Dolphin Encounter, Mayfair Theatre, 

the Sudima Hotel and proposed 

redevelopment of the old pool site at 

Gooches Beach. 

The pathway will continue past 

Wakatu Quay, the historic Fyffe House, 

Jimmy Armers Beach and the seal 

colony at Point Kean. 

It will also create aconnection to 

West End from the many 

accommodation providers, which are 

also situated along the proposed 

pathway. 

It is hoped the link pathway will 

enhance the Kaikoura foreshore for our 

community and visitors. 

The pathway will make it safer to 

access Point Kean and lessen short car 

trips in the district, reducing the 

community’s climate change impact. 

‘‘The link pathway will benefit our 

local community and be another 

Linking together ... Anew track will link the Kaikoura town centre to the seal colony 

at Point Kean. 


drawcard for Kaikoura,’’ Mayor Craig 

Mackle says. 

‘‘At the moment people drive between 

attractions along the Esplanade, but 

this pathway will encourage more 

people to get out of their cars and spend 

more time here. 

‘‘Once we get people out of their cars, 

they can really enjoy what Kaikoura has 

to offer.’’ 

The link pathway funding will also 

upgrade the existing underutilised 

walking track from the Esplanade up to 

the Kaikoura Lookout, which has a 

360degree panoramic view of both 

sides of the Kaikoura Peninsula. 

‘‘We are very grateful to Minister 

Nash for following through on his 

commitments made back in March, 

supporting Kaikoura as one of the five 

districts most impacted by Covid19 

border closures,’’ Mr Mackle says. 

‘‘I’d like to thank the team at the 

council for developing such astrong 

application, we now have an amazing 

opportunity here to do something very 

special for the community and town.’’ 

The council will work closely with Te 

Runanga oKaikoura and key 

community groups over the coming 

months to develop the design. 

The aim will be to blend in with the 

natural landscape, treading lightly 

while showcasing the incredible 

environment. The project will be 

delivered over atwo year period.

Made NC marks milestone 

A‘‘chefs’ tour’’ is the latest 

achievements by Made North 

Canterbury since it kicked off one year 

ago. 

The tour took place on Monday (July 

19) and saw aselected number of 

Christchurch’s food and beverage 

industry professionals whisked around 

North Canterbury to meet the region’s 

producers on their own turf and 

showcase their produce. 

In the past 12 months, Made North 

Canterbury has launched on to the 

scene as New Zealand’s only unifying 

provenance brand and has established 

athriving collective of producers and 

supporters representing all things 

made, grown, caught and reared in the 

region. 

Aproject delivered by Enterprise 

North Canterbury (ENC), Made North 

Canterbury was made possible thanks 

to Ministry of Business, Innovation and 

Employment funding. 

The Made North Canterbury website 

was launched in February, bringing 

the brand’s compelling stories to the 

fore, raising awareness and appeal for 

North Canterbury products both 

regionally and nationally. 

The website directory and 

interactive map list Made North 

Canterbury members and supporters, 

which include producers, restaurants, 

cafes and retailers. 

The distinctive mark is now visible 

on anumber of supermarket shelves 

and member products, including the 

famous King’s Truffle Butter, produce 

from Pihi Farms and goods from Make 

it Raw. 

Producer collaborations to date 

include an exclusive North Canterbury 

wine list at Christchurch’s Mona Vale 

Restaurant and the inclusion of 

Alissa Wilson 

Athena olives and olive oil on the 

cellar door menu at Black Estate. 

Aunique beer dubbed ‘Skip to the 

End’ has also been created as afun 

collaboration between Derelict 

Brewery and Garry River Farm, using 

wild Siberian cherries in the specialty 

brew. 

ENC food and business development 

manager Alissa Wilson is thrilled with 

brand’s progress to date. 

‘‘So far we have very much achieved 

what we set out to achieve. 

‘‘We have engaged agrowing number 

of local producers and supporters and 

we hope to continue to grow this 

engagement along with the awareness 

of the Made North Canterbury brand 

and the incredible offerings from our 

region.’’ 

In addition to the ‘‘chefs’ tour’’ plans 

are in place for aMade North 

Canterbury taste trail, to be launched 

in February, where locals and visitors 

will have the chance to explore and 

taste what this thriving region has to 

offer.

Spring is in the air ... Early season lambs are expected to begin popping up around the 

region soon. 

PHOTOS: FILE 

New born lambs easy 

targets for dog attacks 

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty 

to Animals (SPCA) is urging dog owners, 

particularly those living near lifestyle 

blocks, to take extra care and keep track 

of their pets at all times, as early lambing 

season gets under way. 

Every year sheep and lambs are 

injured or killed by roaming dogs in 

attacks that are not only traumatic for 

animals and people involved, but are 

often completely avoidable through 

responsible dog ownership. 

With 175,000 lifestyle blocks 

nationwide and rural properties 

continuing to grow in popularity, SPCA 

scientific officer Dr Alison Vaughan says 

it’s important for dog owners – 

particularly those living in rural areas – 

to make sure their dog is secured and 

unable to roam. 

‘‘This is akey part of responsible pet 

ownership making sure you know where 

your animal is at all times and that you 

have them under control, whether that’s 

on aleash when out walking or in a 

fenced yard or inside your property,’’ 

says Dr Vaughan. 

Those with stock on lifestyle blocks, 

including sheep, lambs, goats and 

alpacas, should remain vigilant of 

roaming dogs and regularly check on 

their animals. 

Dogs running around ewes can cause 

extreme stress, which can trigger 

miscarriage in those that are pregnant 

or, for ewes who’ve already birthed 

lambs, can cause them to abandon or 

starve their lambs. 

‘‘By walking in areas where there are 

no dog restrictions and keeping your dog 

on aleash, you avoid the chance that your 

dog may cause stress to these animals or 

attack,’’ says Dr Vaughan. 

With several known attacks already 

this year, lambing season is atimely 

reminder for dog owners to be aware of

Control Act 1996. 

Owners of dogs caught harassing sheep 

are liable for ahefty fine, as well as 

compensation for any loss of stock. 

The Act also protects the right of 

farmers to shoot adog disturbing their 

stock in certain circumstances and gives 

courts the power to order destruction 

(euthanasia) of the dog. 

Some public walks through properties 

with farmed animals may also be 

temporarily closed during lambing 

season to protect these vulnerable 

animals. 

Owners should refer to their local 

council website for areas with dog 

restrictions.

ALLTECH: ADVERTISING FEATURE 

Calves cannot change 

agood or abad start 

Statistics showed us that 

approximately 62% of 

heifer calves die in the 

first three weeks of life. 

It is, therefore, crucial 

that our calf rearing 

programme offers these 

young animals the best 

beginning. 

Scours is the main 

reason for death in 

calves during those 21 

days, with 61% 

occurrence, followed by 

pneumonia with 25% of 

cases and the remaining 

14% attributed to other 

causes. 

The digestive system of 

anewborn animalis 

essentially sterile, but it 

quickly getsinvadedby 

billionsofbacteria,both 

friendly and harmful, 

from the environmentin 

which it is being reared. 

Any calf management 

programme should 

concentrate on 

optimising gut health, 

establishing the right 

rumen microbes, and 

minimising disease 

robbingchallenges. 

With the exclusion of 

antibiotics in many 

markets worldwide, the 

need for probiotic 

ingredients is increasing. 

AllLac® Paste from 

Alltech®Inc., is a 

probiotic that provides 

billionsoflive lactic acid 

bacteria which helps to 

colonise thegut with 

beneficial bacteria to 

help establish afull 

digestive function. This 

then makes it harder for 

any bad bacteria to get a 

foothold. 

Another important 

factor to achieve the best 

possible start for heifer 

replacements is to 

maximise weight gain 

from day one. 

Actigen® (Alltech Inc.) 

is anatural alternativeto

where heifercalves fed

Vision behind exhibition 

Alongterm vision for an exhibition of 

artwork celebratingMatariki hasbeen 

realisedinKaiapoi’s Art on the Quay 

Gallery. 

The Nga Kakano oMatariki The Seeds 

of Matariki exhibition, is the 

collaborative work of the children and 

staff at Honeybeez Preschool and 

Nursery in Kaiapoi. The initial vision 

for the exhibition alsocame from one of 

the centre’s early childhood teachers, 

artist Steve Biggins, of Waikuku. 

‘‘The ideafor the art exhibition came 

about from conversations with fellow 

kaiako (teachers) about aproject that I 

did up in Whangarei, displaying art in a 

gallery from the preschool tamariki 

(children) Itaughtthere and how I 

would love to do it again,’’ Steve said. 

He contacted the Art on the Quay 

Gallery manager Jackie Watson 13 

months ago about space in the gallery 

for apossibleexhibition.‘‘The next free 

space just happened to be this month 

(July), coinciding with Matariki which 

was perfect for our centre with our 

strong focus on te reo and Maori 

culture.’’ 

Each teacher at the centre 

concentrated on one of the nine 

Matariki stars for the exhibition 

project, using interactive learning to 

encourage the children to create 

artwork from within that focus. 

For example,the teacher who focused 

on Waita, the star associated with food 

harvested from the sea and its link to 

kaimoana (seafood), gathered some 

mussels, cooked them with the tamariki, 

ate them with them, then used the shells 

in their artwork. 

Each of the teachers also used the art 

projects to educate the children, aged 

between 10 months and five years, about 

the Matariki stories, myths, legends and 

concepts. 

Steve said it was exciting for the 

tamariki and their whanau to have their 

art work displayed in apublic gallery. 

Not all of the 46 young artists who 

contributed to the exhibition attended 

the opening, on July 15, but the families 

who did were amazed at how different 

the artwork looked displayed in the 

gallery space and not just on the fridge 

at home. 

‘‘It is great to expose the tamariki to 

new ways of displayingtheir hard mahi 

(work) and giving them some 

acknowledgement for how creative they 

are,’’ he said.‘‘This is the firsttime a 

gallery space has been used to display 

their work, but it will not be the last 

time.’’

Waipara River ... The Waipara River was the focus of arecent meeting. 

Rivercare group formed 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Willows, weeds, flood prevention and 

communication, were just some of the 

issues raised at ameeting to weigh up 

forming aWaipara Catchment Rivercare 

group. 

Rima Herber, an ecologist, called the 

Waipara meeting, and received support 

to get agroup under way, facilitate it, and 

seek funds for resources and projects. 

‘‘As facilitator, my role will be to work 

in the interests of the Waipara 

Catchment Rivercare Group and to work 

to ensure any input from governing 

bodies is on the terms of the group. 

‘‘Catchment groups around the country 

have found that having afacilitator is 

crucial to their success,’’ she says. 

Around 25 people attended the 

meeting, with participants including 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black and 

Environment Canterbury (ECan) 

councillor Grant Edge. 

Rima says John Holmes, from the 

Hurunui District Landcare Group, who 

spoke at the meeting, said funds were 

available from the catchment group 

provided members of the Landcare 

group and associated members were 

involved. 

There was abig focus on willows in the 

river bed, with some saying they impeded 

the flow in the recent heavy rainfall, and 

caused significant flooding and damage 

PHOTO: FILE 

to landowners’ property. 

There was also concern at the amount 

of water willows sucked up during the 

summer heat with one estimate showing 

‘‘at least half acumec of the summer 

river flow is lost due to the huge numbers 

of willows’’. 

Rima says the group wants to know 

more about awillow programme being 

started by ECan in the river, such as how 

far down the river this will go, what 

methods of control are being used and 

what will happen to the biomass. 

She says there were also questions on 

why sheep were no longer being used for 

weed control in the river, and some 

landowners bordering the river, who 

were controlling willows and other 

weeds, wanted to know if what they were 

doing was permitted. 

Historical poor management and poor 

relationships with ECan and the 

Hurunui District Council, leading to lack 

of trust, damage to the environment and 

the wildlife by inappropriate vehicle use 

in the river bed, and riparian areas all 

came up for discussion. 

It was agreed Rima should be paid a 

parttime wage to ensure the group 

remained active and saw projects 

through. 

She says the next step will be to hold a 

formal meeting in late July to decide on 

the structure of the group and to start 

clarifying priorities.

The North Canterbury News, July 22, 2021 29 

Migrant visa rules relaxed 

Federated Farmers has welcomed the 

government decision to extend the 

essential skills visa for migrant staff 

working in the dairy sector. 

The government is increasing the 

duration of essential skills visas and 

streamlining the application process to 

make it easier for both employers and 

visa holders while the border remains 

closed. 

‘‘These valued staff are offering just 

what their visa says, essential skills to the 

New Zealand dairy industry,’’ Federated 

Farmers employment and immigration 

spokesperson Chris Lewis says. 

‘‘Since the original lockdown Feds and 

Dairy NZ have been in constant contact 

with the government explaining how 

important those valued staff on essential 

skills visas are to our industry. 

‘‘We need them helping with calving 

and putting cups on cows now more than 

ever with the border still closed and low 

domestic unemployment.’’ 

Maximum duration of essential skills 

visas for jobs paid below the median 

wage will increase from one year to 2 

years, while for those in jobs paid above 

the median wage the visa duration will 

remain at three years. 

The application process for renewing 

essential skills visas will also be 

simplified for workers remaining in their 

existing roles. 

‘‘Alongside the need for the current 

exception process for bringing new 

workers across the border, keeping hold 

of those good people already here 

working in our industry has been the 

other key part of the message from Feds 

and Dairy NZ,’’ Mr Lewis says. 

‘‘We don’t want these people taking 

their good skills and work habits and 

exiting the country because of visa 

uncertainty, and this is an important step 

to help keep them here. 

‘‘We are doing what we can to attract 

Kiwis to the industry, but all provincial 

employers feel like they are fighting over 

the same scraps of the labour force pie at 

the moment.’’ 

The requirements for all employers 

and workers to move to the ‘‘Accredited 

Employer Work Visa’’, which was due to 

come into effect on November 1, will be 

delayed until the middle of next year. 

Migrant staff ... New rules are expected to 

make it easier to retain and recruit migrant 

staff. 

PHOTO: FILE 

‘‘Farmers and their workers have got 

enough to worry about at the moment 

without getting their heads around this 

new visa system,’’ Mr Lewis says. 

‘‘We just want to get on with the 

business of farming and anything that 

helps ease the current labour woes is a 

good step, so Federated Farmers would 

like to thank the government for listening 

to the concerns of our farmers on this 

one.’’

Hurunui locks in semi-final spot 

RUGBY 

By PETER WILLIAMS 

AND DAYLE SUTHERLAND 

The clash at Culverden last 

Saturdaybetween Hurunuiand 

Oxford was always going to be a 

vitalone in determiningwhich 

teamsmade it through to the 

semifinals. 

Saracensand Kaiapoihad 

already lockedinhome semifinals, 

but Oxford, Ashley and 

Hurunui were locked in athreeway 

battle for the remaining two 

semifinal placesinthe Luisetti 

SeedsNorth Canterbury rugby 

competition. 

With Oxford and Hurunui 

bothfinishing on 19 points, 

Hurunui takes the third ranking 

by virtueofhaving beaten 

Oxford in theirmost recent 

match. 

Saracenswill host Oxfordand 

Kaiapoi will hostHurunuion

Superb defence 

The field at Culverden was 

tackyafterrecentrain and 

outstandingdefence by both 

Hurunui and Oxford ensured 

the match was alowscoring 

one. 

Matt Roberts put Oxfordin 

frontwith an early penalty, but 

halfway through the first spell 

Hurunui wingerSam Grigg 

finished off agood movement 

with what proved to be the only 

try of thematch. 

Most of the game was played 

between the two 22 metre lines. 

The only pointsadded in the 

second halfwere four penalties 

–threebyHurunui’s Digby 

Heardand anotherbyRoberts 

for Oxford. 

DannyBrookerand young 

prop JeremyYorke excelled in 

the Oxford forwardpack, while 

Cale Dobby, WillPears and Tom 

Williams all carried wellina 

Hurunui forward effort 

stiffened by the insertion of 

Crusader Luke Romano at halftime. 

Romano’s value to the team 

was minimisedwhen he was 

sent to the sin bin for a 

dangeroustackle. 

Two centurions ... Referee Gavin Cate and Kaiapoi front rower 

Luka Tootoo marked important milestones at the weekend.

Ashley came out firing.

But from this point on 

Kaiapoi clawedback the 

ascendancy andbyhalftime 

wingers, Kimeon Reade and 

Reuben Tiwekahad both 

scored tries in the corner, one of 

whichwas converted by Taine 

JacobsLawson. 

Thefirst 10 minutes of the 

secondhalf was allKaiapoi. 

As the Ashleyerrorrate 

climbedinresponsetothe 

pressureKaiapoi was applying. 

The home team added three 

more tries to JarredGilmore, 

Tiweka and LoganBell.Two of 

these wereconverted by Jacobs 

Lawson and Kaiapoi had shot 

out to an unassailable3110 

lead. 

Kaiapoi’s benchwas not as 

effective as usual and it failed to 

add any morepoints. 

In the final two minutes 

Ashley scoredtwo consolation 

tries whichnot only restored 

some respectability to the 

scoreline, but also gained a 

bonus point. 

But it wasnot enoughtostop 

Hurunui fromleapfrogging 

Ashley on the points table, with 

the latternarrowlymiss out on a 

semifinal spot. 

Matt Couch was the pick of 

the Ashleyplayers while the 

Duckworth brothersboth toiled 

away industriously in the front 

row. 

For Kaiapoi, Tiweka 

continued his goldenrun of 

form, thistime fromthe wing 

position ratherthan his 

customary place at fullback and 

Codey Grimes hadanother 

strong game at halfback. 

Another feature of the match 

wasthat it was the 100th time 

that referee Gavin Cate had 

controlled adivision 1fixture 

and he did so with his usual 

efficiency. This mark was 

matched by hardworking 

Kaiapoi propLuka Tootoo, who 

also broughtuphis 100 games in 

this match.

HOCKEY 

RangioraHockey Club's CBK 

division one women's team 

continues to be hamstrung by 

itsinability to score goals. 

The team is playing some 

great hockey,but alack of goal 

scoring is frustratingall 

involved. 

Lastweekend theteamfaced 

adouble headerasthey caught 

up on agamethatwas rained 

outinlateMay. 

On Saturday it faced Marist, 

the only teamRangiora beat in 

round one. 

While Rangioradominated 

possession, it was unable to 

find the net, withMarist 

scoring twobreakout goals 

against the runofplay. 

On Sunday the women faced 

offagainst Southern United, 

the only teambelowitonthe 

table. 

This timethe team did score 

twogoals, and hadchances to 

score afew more, to come away 

withawell deserved win. 

Thedivision1Rangiora CBK 

men's teamalso played Marist 

in thelatest round of 

competition, hoping to repeat 

itsroundone victory over the 

green and whites. 

With three goalsapiece,the 

teams couldnot be separated 

at full time, withthis result 

makingitanear impossible 

taskfor them to climbinto the 

top four withjust ahandful of 

games left in regularseason. 

With it beingthe middle 

weekend of theschool holidays 

there werenogames in the 

junior,platinumorSunday

weekend, or inthe midweek 

women’scompetition on 

Tuesday. 

Both Rangiora Hurunui 

Hares and Hawks did play the 

Tuesday prior, withthe teams 

comingawaywithawinand a 

loss respectively. 

Amidweek men's 

competitionround wasalso 

completed on Monday night. 

Up against the unbeaten 

Marist Gooses theRangiora 

Allsorts (B team) battled hard 

tostill be in it at 30 by theend

Rangiora'smidweek open 

men's Ateam continuestolead 

the table afteracomfortable 

42 win over Avon Gold, but 

player injury and absence has

“The Key of knowledge...” (Luke 11:52) 

RUSSIAN MILITARY ACTION 

FORETOLD IN THE BIBLE? 

Are we concerned where the World is heading? 

Can we believe statements made by media to be 

the truth? The Bible is an ancient book ,writing 

of World events through the ages, presenting a 

sure word of prophecy. How can webesure of 

this? If aprophecyhas been fulfilled, we can have 

assurance that it will happen again as predicted. 

Compare the scattering of Israel and it’s return to 

it’s ancient land. Therefore we can expect that a 

power North of Israel will rise to sweep over the 

Middle East causing devastation, and involving 

the whole World in it’s endeavours. Today is the 

day of opportunity.

Kaiapoi-Tuahiwi |Rangiora-Ashley 

Oxford-Ohoka |

Introducing four artists who 

have entered every Kaiapoi Art 

Expo since its inception. 

Paul Smith 

An intuitive artist, Paul uses 

collage to create harmonious 

blends of colour and texture. 

He uses unusual materials such 

as tissue paper and amedium 

called gelli plate to create 

unique abstract artworks that 

grace homes throughout the 

country. 

Transparent washes of colour 

reveal images and patterns 

created by Paul with all manner 

of tools, even credit cards come 

in handy for scraping of colour, 

and adding atouch that may 

or may not meet his exacting 

 

In the last four weeks he created 

six works but four of them 

failed to meet his level of satisfaction 

and were destroyed. 

Of course, all is not lost as they 

can always be painted over at a 

later date. 

“I like to keep painting and 

keep my stocks up in case I 

get requests for apainting,” he 

says. 

“I’m always producing something. 

In winter my trips to the 

studio are pretty short as it’s in 

the garage and quite cold. 

“But even 10 minutes changing 

this bit there, adding that 

there is enough.” 

Paul likes change and resists 

the galleries who like to 

pigeonhole artists so they know 

what they are getting. 

“I don’t wanttoget stale, I’m 

constantly developing styles 

and techniques and changing,” 

he says. 

 

 

His work sells at Artbox gallery 

in Christchurch, the Culverden 

Gallery and at Arts in Oxford. 

Paul has aplea to artlovers; 

“Buy art from living artists, the 

dead don’t need the money.” 

Karin Werner 

of Loburn has won the People’s 

Choice Award previously for 

her equine paintings. Using 

watercolour, Karin has captured 

the magical moment of a 

new foal with its mother which 

certainly has the potential to be 

apopular pick for the People’s 

Choice Award. 

Karin’s love of horses and 

drawing have always been 

major themes in her life. 

“Starting on the wallpaper 

with crayon at an early age, 

I’ve since progressed to more 

suitable surfaces and materials, 

and now work mainly in oils, 

watercolours, pastels and pencils,” 

she says. 

“My subjects still include 

horses and my own chestnut 

mare has featured in quite a 

few paintings and has earned 

her keep as amodel. Ialso 

enjoy painting our awesome 

South Island landscapes. Portraits 

of pets and more recently 

people’s classic vehicles are 

other subjects Idepict representationally, 

but more imaginary 

and interpretive work, or 

designs also interest me.” 

Karin is mainly self-taught, 

but she has found life drawing 

classes and painting en plein air 

have improved her observation 

and painting skills. 

Amember of the Waimate, 

Ashburton and Rangiora Art 

Societies.

Elizabeth Ross 

started as aporcelain artist and 

 

detail required for that medium. 

It wasn’t until 2007 that 

she started painting on canvas 

transferring her well honed 

skills to anew medium. The 

resulting depictions of birds, 

 

meticulously executed. 

Many pieces of her porcelain 

art have found their way 

overseas and now her paintings 

too. In 2018 her landscape 

painting of Lake Mathesonwas 

acommission from avisiting 

American and it now hangs in 

the Ronald Reagan Memorial 

Hospital in LA. 

Locally her works sells in 

Culverden Gallery, Oxford and 

at Artarama. 

Painting is alife saver for 

Elizabeth who although con- 

 

 

spending her time creating art. 

Ruby Whitty 

grew up in England and trips to 

London’s Tate Gallery inspired 

her from age eight. 

Ruby too started in another 

medium, that of folk art which 

she enjoyed for many years, 

decorating wooden boxes of all 

shapes and purpose. Now she is 

making the unusual move from 

paint to pencil and some of the 

works for sale in the Expo will 

be pencil drawings. 

With family in California, 

Perth, Tasmania, and UK, she 

is often sent photos they would 

like her to turn into paintings. 

“They all have my work on 

their walls. On my last trip I 

took my art folder and said 

‘Help yourselves.’” 

Ruby sells her work on Trade 

Me and Facebook and the last 

six went to buyers in the North 

Island. 

She is self-taught and is 

known for her still life paintings, 

but recently moved to 

an abstract style focusing on 

pipes, industrial pipes of all 

sizes with amechanical look 

about them. One of her entries 

for the Expo, shown here, is 

Cornwall, apainting from a 

family photo. 

Like Elizabeth, painting is an 

escape for Ruby, who spends 

most of her time at home as 

she does not drive and her only 

trips from home are on her 

mobility scooter. 

She enjoys driving it around 

the former red zone nearby 

and along the stop banks of 

 

subject material to paint.

Corcoran French supports 

local North Canterbury artists 

and the work they create. 

Local artists matter 

in our community 

because they provide 

asense of creativity 

and an opportunity 

to look at the world 

around us from 

another perspective.
