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

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
roundabout are now complete, but
contractorsare awaiting warmerweather
before laying the final asphalt surface,
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

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.

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.’’

Better mental-health
outcomes above politics
School holidays bringtheir challenges
to all parents, andmywifeand Iare no
different.
Ifyousee me trying to speak at,or
attending,acommunityevent, or
meeting residents, with mychildren
swinging off myarms, pleasebepatient
in realising thatIam probably on dad
duty.
Thank youtoeveryone who tuned in
forthe important Parliamentary debate
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

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

Alongside them the tradies, the hunters
and business owners telling our
government to back off with their
unworkable environmental and economic
regulations which are threatening not only
farmerslivelihoods, their futures, and
their land, but the very backbone of who
New Zealand is as anation. True

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.

be great to see this
celebration well supported by
our community.’’
The Kaikoura Museum and
Fyffe House are joining the
festivities with night tours,
the Mayfair Theatre is hosting
aWilly Wonka Tea Party to
coincide with the 50th

There will be prizes and it
promises to be afun event for
competitors and spectators
alike.
The iceskating rink will be
hosted in the Kaikoura
Memorial Hall if the weather

‘‘The family friendly event
will start relatively small, but
it is hoped to build the

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.

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.

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.

Any calf management
programme should
concentrate on
optimising gut health,
establishing the right
rumen microbes, and
minimising disease

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

In 1877, Kate Edger became thefirstwomantograduate

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.’’

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

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.

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
Saturday.
Finalpoints after the roundrobin:
Saracens 31,Kaiapoi 30,
Hurunui 19, Oxford 19, Ashley
17, GlenmarkCheviot16, Ohoka
10, Woodend 1.
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 deniedby
Kaiapoi.
Needing to beat the more
highlyrankedKaiapoi side to
ensure aplace in the semifinals,
Ashley came out firing.
Ashleywent at apointaminute
pace for the first 10
minutescourtesyofatry by
Naaria Wilson Bairds with
Korbyn Grayadding the
sidelineconversiontoan
earlier penalty kick.
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.

Run AwayWin
GlenmarkCheviot didn’tlet
recentresults deter it from
delivering acomprehensive
victory over Ohoka, 427at
Cheviot Domain.
The visitorswere never let
into the game with Glenmark
Cheviot showingthe greater
intentofthe two sides.
GlenmarkCheviot’s pack
generated structured defence
and the loose forward trioof
Matt McKellar,Jacob Vincent
and Johnny Slossensured
quality ball at the break down
and theeducated boot of Brook
Retallick was never far away.
Blindsideflanker Vincent
wasthe benefactor of quality
ball scoring two tries forthe
home side.
Ohoka’s Bernard Ryan
battled up front,whileskipper
Ryan McCallumran strongly for
the visitors.Ohoka did manage
to cross the line later in the
game with awell worked try to
fiveeight Patrick McCallum,
but it was unabletomatch the
class of the home side.
Scoreboard:Glenmark 42 (Jacob

Saracenstoo good
Saracens had no difficultyin
cementing its top spot in the
competition rankings with a
comfortable 603win over
Woodend.
Woodendhas struggled in the
back end of this season. It had to

“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,

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.
Aparticular mention we want togive is to the Waimakariri Arts Trust.

with local artists and business sponsors to produce the Kaiapoi Art Expo

local budding and experienced artists.
In addition, the Trust has initiated some great projects for local
communities, such as the Kaiapoi mural, artist studio visits in Art week,
“have ago” as part of the Art Expo, the School Art Expo as well as
