The WaimakaririZone Committee<br />

chairpersonwas responding to<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s (ECan)<br />

latestgroundwaterquality survey,<br />

which found E.coliand nitrate<br />

contamination in someprivatewells.<br />

‘‘I thinkraising publicawareness is a<br />

goodthing. We havesuch abig number<br />

of lifestyle blocksinour districtwith<br />

privatewells, so we needtobe<br />

engaging withthose peopletoget their<br />

wells tested,’’ Mr Blackwellsaid.<br />

The presenceofnitrate<br />

contamination has been attributed,in<br />

part, to theinflux of dairy farming on<br />

lightersoils over the last 20 years,he<br />

said.<br />

‘‘Tobefair,10years ago nobody<br />

really knewabout nitrate<br />

contamination in drinking water.<br />

to invest back to its community if it<br />

makes aprofit from its annual Hurunui<br />

The scholarship is aimed at helping<br />

the successful applicant with fees<br />

It is open to home schooled students,<br />

local high school students, and those<br />

who may live in the district, but attend a<br />

high school or boarding school outside<br />

the district.<br />

Applications, which must include a<br />

brief letter, and two references with<br />

contact details, can be emailed to<br />

and assess changes in water quality<br />

overtime,ECan groundwater science<br />

managerCarl Hansonsaid.<br />

‘‘The resultsinthe latest reportare<br />

vulnerabletocontamination, including<br />

E. coli and nitrate.’’<br />

37 wells (11 percent),while samples<br />

from20wells (6%)had nitrate<br />

‘‘Thecurrent message from ECan is<br />

that if your water is anywhere under<br />

that extremelyhigh contamination<br />

it’s safetodrink,’’ Greenpeacesenior<br />

‘‘Thefactthat we’ve had such<br />

Waimakariri’s new park and ride bus<br />

service has carried more than 30,000<br />

passengers into Christchurch in its first<br />

six months.<br />

The 91 and 92 Waimakariri direct bus<br />

services from Kaiapoi and Rangiora to<br />

central Christchurch began operating in<br />

January as ajoint initiative between the<br />

Waimakariri District Council,<br />

Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>, Waka Kotahi<br />

New Zealand Transport Agency and the<br />

Christchurch City Council in abid to<br />

reduce congestion in the city.<br />

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon has<br />

been using the service to commute to<br />

meetings in the city and has been<br />

pleased with the support.<br />

‘‘I’m akeen user myself and it’s<br />

fantastic to be able to skip the traffic<br />

when heading in and out of Christchurch<br />

during peak times<br />

‘‘This service is agreat asset to our<br />

community and everyone who gets on<br />

board helps reduce our carbon<br />

emissions by taking an extra car off the<br />

road.’’<br />

Waimakariri District Council road<br />

safety co­ordinator Kathy Graham says<br />

the park and ride service has given<br />

commuters more choice.<br />

‘‘While not taking the car to work isn’t<br />

possible for everyone, it’s great that<br />

there is more choice for those that can<br />

consider alternatives, even if it’s just<br />

once or twice aweek.<br />

‘‘We also know there’s people who are<br />

cycling to the park and ride and using<br />

the lock up bike cages before jumping on<br />

the bus, or parking their vehicle and<br />

then cycling the remainder of the<br />

journey.’’<br />

Both services have four morning trips<br />

to town every weekday and five return<br />

Express service ... The Rangiora 91 bus service picks up passengers on one of its morning<br />

trips in the afternoon, making use of the<br />

T2 lanes on the Christchurch <strong>North</strong>ern<br />

Corridor to ensure afast trip into town.<br />

‘‘It’s really encouraging to see people<br />

utilising the services. Thanks to all that<br />

have supported these new services.<br />

We’ll continue to promote them in the<br />

coming months to encourage more<br />

people to give public transport ago,’’<br />

Metro spokesperson Thomas<br />

McNaughton says.<br />

Between 40 and 100 car parks are<br />

available at each of the park and ride<br />

facilities in Rangiora and Kaiapoi,<br />

which are maintained by the<br />

Waimakariri District Council.<br />

Lighting, security cameras, and secure<br />

bike storage cases are in place at each<br />

facility and there is free Wi­Fi available<br />

as part of the service.<br />

The Rangiora service departs from<br />

River Road, White Street and South Belt<br />

facilities, while Kaiapoi users can get on<br />

at the Charles Street and Wrights Road<br />

sites.<br />

The Wrights Road facility has recently<br />

been upgraded, with abus turnaround<br />

and pedestrian pick up point added<br />

beside the existing car park.<br />

The project partners will conduct a<br />

review of the services after afull year<br />

has passed, including timetables.<br />

Kaikoura’slong term plan approved<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

Will Doughty is relieved to get his first<br />

Long Term Plan out of the way.<br />

The Kaikoura District Council chief<br />

executive stepped into his newrole in<br />

February, and beganthe processof<br />

developing the <strong>2021</strong>/31 LongTerm Plan,<br />

whichhas been adopted, after being<br />

audited by Audit New Zealand.<br />

‘‘Formecoming in and starting in<br />

February it was afast learning curve in<br />

picking it up. It’s beenagood process<br />

and the councillors have acknowledged<br />

the effort put in by thestaff.<br />

‘‘Nowabout the deliveryand doing<br />

what we say we are going to do.’’<br />

Therewere 71 submissions received<br />

whichraised273 individual points.<br />

‘‘The majorityofsubmissions<br />

supported the fivemain options we<br />

consulted on across the different<br />

categories, so we were able to adopt the<br />

draft with our preferred options.’’<br />

The biggestchange was in the roading,<br />

where the councilwas unable to secure<br />

funding from WakaKotahi NZ Transport<br />

Agency.<br />

Councillors voted to absorb the<br />

funding shortfall through loan funding<br />

and reduceoperational expenditure to<br />

90 percent of what was originally<br />

budgeted.<br />

‘‘It is important that we get on and do<br />

the work,otherwisewewillget ourselves<br />

into moreofahole.’’<br />

Aworking group will be established to<br />

plan roadingand footpath renewal<br />

priorities. Apart from roading and<br />

footpaths, the council is not facing any<br />

major capital expenditure overthe next<br />

decade, due largely to the $38 million<br />

earthquakerebuild,which was<br />

completedlast yearfollowing the 2016<br />

earthquake.<br />

Nth Canty well represented at Olympics<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> rowing great Athol<br />

Earl says he was amazed to see New<br />

Zealand’s latest Olympic rowing<br />

success.<br />

The 1972 Olympic Games men’s<br />

rowing eight gold medallist admitted he<br />

didn’t expect this year’s men’s eight to<br />

win gold.<br />

‘‘It was bizarre. Ithought they would<br />

get bronze or maybe silver. It was mind<br />

blowing and the women did bloody well<br />

­silver is very good.<br />

‘‘I’m on such ahigh today Idon’t know<br />

how Iwill sleep tonight,’’ he said on<br />

Friday.<br />

This year’s New Zealand rowing<br />

squad won gold medals in the men’s<br />

eight, women’s pair and women’s single<br />

scull events, and silver medals in the<br />

women’s eight and women’s double scull<br />

events.<br />

Mr Earl, who also won Olympic bronze<br />

with the 1976 men’s eight, says any<br />

medal is ahuge achievement.<br />

‘‘I know when we won the bronze, it<br />

was four years after the gold so Iwas<br />

gutted at the time, but now I’m quite<br />

proud of it.’’<br />

Alot has changed since his rowing<br />

days, as there is amore professional<br />

environment for today’s rowers with<br />

four regional performance centres<br />

feeding into anational programme<br />

based at Lake Karapiro in the Waikato.<br />

‘‘We were amateurs. They don’t make<br />

big money, like the All Blacks, but it pays<br />

for the food and the flat rent,’’ Mr Earl<br />

says.<br />

‘‘They have agood programme now<br />

where they feed them in from the<br />

juniors and the under­23s, so they can<br />

see agood career path and the under­<br />

23s train with the elite rowers so they<br />

can see what they need to do.’’<br />

Four local rowers followed in Mr<br />

Earl’s footsteps by competing at the<br />

Tokyo Olympics.<br />

Sam Bosworth, who grew up at<br />

Waipara, is the coxwain in the gold<br />

medal winning men’s eight, while Ella<br />

Greenslade, who is originally from<br />

Waikari, is amember of the silver medal<br />

winning women’s eight.<br />

Oxford’s Olivia Loe and Eve<br />

Macfarlane, from Parnassus, also<br />

competed in the women’s quadruple<br />

sculls, with the boat missing out on the A<br />

final.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> was represented in<br />

other sports, with Oxford’s Tim Price<br />

and his wife Jonelle competing in the<br />

New Zealand equestrian three­day<br />

eventing team.<br />

In the mountain biking, Woodend born<br />

and raised Anton Cooper placed sixth in<br />

the elite men’s race in his first Olympics,<br />

finishing just 12 seconds behind the<br />

medallists.<br />

Rangiora High School’s 2019 deputy<br />

head girl Gabi Rennie was amember of<br />

the Football Ferns women’s football<br />

team, coming on as areplacement to<br />

score agoal against Australia in her<br />

international debut.<br />

‘‘We are very proud of Gabi and her<br />

achievements. She is awonderful role<br />

model for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s young<br />

people,’’ Rangiora High School<br />

principal Karen Stewart says.<br />

Joining Gabi at the Games were her<br />

brother Liam and fellow ex­Rangiora<br />

High School student Casey Higby<br />

attending as camera operators for New<br />

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA<br />

Consultation needed<br />

There is no doubt that the Maori<br />

language has asignificant place in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Ilike using Maori place names and I<br />

am an enthusiastic student of te reo. I<br />

take regular classes, as is my individual<br />

choice, but Imight add my ability does<br />

not match my enthusiasm.<br />

However, Iamwell aware that not<br />

everyone shares my enthusiasm for<br />

learning languages nor sees the role of te<br />

reo exactly as Ido.<br />

In the past few months, there has been<br />

an increasing spotlight placed on<br />

significant changes to how our<br />

Government enacts the Crown<br />

responsibility to uphold the Treaty of<br />

Waitangi. While there are those who<br />

vehemently support the notion of cogovernance<br />

and, of course, those who<br />

oppose it, it is my opinion that most New<br />

Zealanders fall into athird group. This<br />

group are more concerned with the lack<br />

of transparency from the Government in<br />

implementing co­governance policies<br />

without consultation or engagement<br />

with the whole of New Zealand.<br />

National Party Leader Judith Collins<br />

has been labelled aracist by the Maori<br />

Party for bringing this conversation to<br />

the table, and inviting Kiwis to have<br />

their say on these matters.<br />

My view is that asking legitimate<br />

questions about the future of our country<br />

is not racist.<br />

Parliamentarians are voted in by the<br />

people and work for the people. If we sit<br />

back, don’t ask questions, and let the<br />

Government advance what are pretty<br />

radical changes, without advocating for<br />

adequate consultation, then we are not<br />

doing our jobs properly.<br />

There is aparticular change that,<br />

while seemingly nominal, has sparked<br />

some controversy; the de facto changing<br />

of New Zealand’s name to Aotearoa New<br />

Zealand by the Government and in the<br />

media.<br />

Now, Iamnot seeking to make a<br />

judgement call about whether we should<br />

change our name or not. That is neither<br />

here nor there. Iamsimply giving voice<br />

to the argument that perhaps before the<br />

shift began to be put in motion, New<br />

Zealanders themselves should have<br />

been consulted.<br />

It is presumptuous and disrespectful<br />

to make adecision of such cultural<br />

importance for the country without<br />

engaging all who live there.<br />

Sir John Key had the courage to stand<br />

by his convictions and let New<br />

Zealanders decide whether we should<br />

change our flag.<br />

No matter where you stood on the<br />

issue, you still had the opportunity to<br />

have asay. Sir John lost that debate<br />

when New Zealand voted to retain the<br />

existing flag and he accepted this<br />

verdict.<br />

Arguably changing the name of the<br />

country is even more significant than<br />

changing the flag, and it is my belief that<br />

the right thing for the Labour<br />

Government to do is to advance an open<br />

conversation on this.<br />

For some people, for example those<br />

who have represented or fought for New<br />

Zealand, there is avery strong connect<br />

with our existing name.<br />

For others, the te reo name Aotearoa<br />

holds greater significance.<br />

As Isee it, there is no right or wrong<br />

perspective. However, it is wrong for a<br />

public service and Government to<br />

decide away forward with no regard for<br />

how New Zealanders think or feel about<br />

it.<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Last weekend Iwas at Briscoes, Rangiora, shoppingfor items to send to afriend in<br />

Westport whosecarer lost everything in the recent floods.<br />

Walking around people exchanged pleasantries while shopping. One such ladytook<br />

notice of what Iwas doing.<br />

She asked me if Ihad afew minutes to wait and she’d be right back. She returned with<br />

kitchen linens she wanted to contribute to my purchases.<br />

Iwas literally blown away at her generosity and kindness, so I’d like to acknowledge<br />

Jeanette who workswith Nurse Maudefor being such agreatKiwi.<br />

I’ll never forget her smiling face and concern for another person unknowntoher.<br />

KAIKŌURA VIEWS<br />

MAYOR CRAIG MACKLE<br />

Lack of information<br />

on water reforms<br />

The Three Waters Reformisthe thing<br />

that’sonmymind at the moment.<br />

We don’t yet have the information<br />

that we need to consult withour<br />

community and makeaninformed<br />

decision on what’s best for the people<br />

of Kaikoura.<br />

Kaikoura District Council has<br />

invested heavily in its water<br />

infrastructure, and we are actually in<br />

abetterplace than many other<br />

councils throughout New Zealand.<br />

Beforethe earthquake we<br />

increased the capacity of our water<br />

and wastewater,and then, becauseof<br />

damagesustained in the 2016<br />

earthquake we replaced or renewed<br />

most of our water infrastructure.<br />

Our Infrastructure Strategy invests<br />

$27.2 million over the next 30 years<br />

for growth and enhancement of our<br />

water infrastructure.<br />

So, Iamsurprised to see that the<br />

Government is indicating that we<br />

need to spend $280 million over the<br />

next 30 years, that’s aspendof$9.3<br />

million each year ­onour water<br />

infrastructure which is valued at $57<br />

million. For me, the numbers just<br />

don’t add up.<br />

The rest of New Zealand (and<br />

Ihave questions abouthow these<br />

new authorities will be funded and<br />

whatwill be the impact on our<br />

ratepayers.<br />

The government has afinancial<br />

support package on the tablebut that<br />

is just noise until we can answer some<br />

questions on what it meansfor our<br />

community.<br />

How can we be surethat the three<br />

waters will not be privatised in the<br />

future and how willthe voiceofour<br />

community and Te Runanga o<br />

Kaikoura be considered. We also<br />

needtoknow whatnew water<br />

regulationswill be put in place as<br />

partofthe reforms.<br />

The Governmenthas allowed the<br />

nexteight weeks for us to receive<br />

moreinformation, question and fully<br />

understandthe proposal before they<br />

consider the next steps and outline<br />

the processand timelines for reform.<br />

We have beentold that councilscan<br />

still decide to opt out of the Three<br />

Waters Reform. I’ll be working<br />

closely with the CEO and senior<br />

managers to find out more and then<br />

we’ll talk with you before reachinga<br />

extended into their careers.<br />

Sarah and James toured with Chamber<br />

Music New Zealandduring 1996 while<br />

Justine and Sarah wentontowork<br />

closely together as founding members of<br />

the NZTrio. James’ fascinationwith the<br />

freedom and energy of baroque music<br />

took him overseasand where he worked<br />

with many of Europe’s top baroque<br />

orchestras and ensembles.<br />

The concern programmedraws on the<br />

varied expertise of each of the chamber<br />

musiciansand features James’s baroque<br />

practiceand Sarah and Justine’s shared<br />

HURUNUITHEATRE GROUP ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />

Showtime ... The cast hard at work for this year’s production.<br />

Hurunui Theatre Group presents<br />

coming to Waipara<br />

The HurunuiTheatre Group is back<br />

with acomic vengeance.<br />

The theatre group was unable to<br />

stage ashow last year, for the first<br />

time in 27 years, due to Covid­19.<br />

But it is hard at work rehearsing<br />

Spamalot in the Waipara Hall, to<br />

ensure this year’s offering will make<br />

up for its no show last year.<br />

So if you were looking for ashow<br />

with maximum laughs, it’s hard to top<br />

this parody of King Arthur’s questfor<br />

the holy grail.<br />

Diverting from the traditional<br />

versionofthe legend, Spamalot’s<br />

shenanigans include dancing girls,<br />

waking the dead and killer rabbits,<br />

while outside there is “plague with a<br />

50% chance of pestilence and famine”.<br />

Throughoutthe show Arthur, with<br />

his sidekick Patsy, recruit knights to<br />

join him on his quest, including Sir<br />

Robin, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad and<br />

Sir Bedevere.<br />

They encounter such characters as<br />

the Lady of the Lake, Prince Herbert,<br />

the Black Knight, Not Dead Fred, and<br />

the Knights who say Ni.<br />

The cast, amixture of newbies and<br />

regulars, are proceeding well with<br />

rehearsals, also producing alot of<br />

laughs and are somewhat strangely on<br />

schedule,sothe mad panic of the last<br />

two weeks leading up to opening may<br />

yet be avoided.<br />

Spamalot is directed by Dave<br />

Nicholls, with Liz Grigg the musical<br />

director.<br />

Marilyn Johnsonreturns to thefold<br />

playing various instrumentson<br />

keyboard,tojoin long­time<br />

accomplished pianist Anthony<br />

Kingston and introducing Phil<br />

Biddlecombe on drums, to give the<br />

show its full musicalflavour.<br />

So, for alate winter pick­me­up,get<br />

along to the Waipara Hall, be<br />

thoroughly entertained and partake of<br />

the traditionalhalf time supper<br />

provided as alocal schoolfundraiser<br />

(included in the ticket), and cash bar<br />

Building value: $12 million<br />

Fun fact:<br />

Building expenditure in the Hurunui is at record high,<br />

especially in Amberley and Hanmer Springs. In the past 12<br />

months, 57 houses were built in Amberley, with 31 built in<br />

the twelve months preceding that.<br />

Considering anew woodburner?: The building team gets<br />

about 100 applications for new woodburners each year<br />

which are prioritised and consented fast, often in 24hrs.<br />

"It is the intention of the Council<br />

to present these numbers to you<br />

and get your feedback on the right<br />

course of action ......."<br />

Central government reform of the local government sector<br />

continues apace, with the current workstreams including<br />

proposed reforms of three waters infrastructure, resource<br />

management and a programme looking at the future of local<br />

government, all being underway simultaneously.<br />

The three waters and resource management proposals both seek<br />

to streamline processes by centralising services and removing<br />

local government input.<br />

Whilst many of us can agree that the Resource Management Act<br />

needs to be overhauled, its replacement needs to provide checks<br />

and balances that ensure that any tradeoffs between<br />

environmental, economic, cultural and social wellbeing are<br />

properly considered. It is not clear that the current proposals from<br />

the government will achieve the desired outcome.<br />

The government believes it has made astrong economic case for<br />

the transfer of community owned water assets from local<br />

government control to four new central government entities which<br />

are completely separated from local influence. The government’s<br />

case is reliant on anumber of assumptions which, although they<br />

might work on anational scale, do not necessarily hold true for<br />

the Hurunui District.<br />

It is the intention of the Council to present these numbers to you<br />

and get your feedback on the right course of action.<br />

Removal of three waters services and resource management<br />

leaves local government in much depleted state and it is therefore<br />

sensible to have adiscussion about the future of its role. Initial<br />

meetings have been positive, but many in local government are<br />

wary of jobs being handed out by central government with funding<br />

expected to come from rates. Obviously this would not be a<br />

satisfactory outcome and the Council is casting acareful eye over<br />

all of the government’s proposals.<br />

The Hurunui Hotel which stands on the south bank of the Hurunui River was established in1860. The Hotel<br />

Tipapa transformed<br />

The Tipapa Woolshed in <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> was transformed as The Red<br />

Masked Gang Rides Again was staged by<br />

the Greta Valley School.<br />

The ruralatmosphere of Janeand<br />

Stewart Whiteside’s Tipapa Woolshed<br />

provided the ideal environment forthe<br />

play, set in the depths of the Motunau<br />

ranges.<br />

The Red Masked Gang had their<br />

headquarters under Kerry and Kim’s<br />

Fossil Café, where they met and<br />

discussed plans to save the locals from<br />

all sortsofsituations.<br />

One morning the gang received acall<br />

to helpout agroup of Grannies, living on<br />

the edge of the Motunau ranges, who<br />

were being terrorised by evil wolves.<br />

The play used three stages, set up<br />

around the audience in the Woolshed,<br />

which the storyteller moved between to<br />

keep everyone informed about was<br />

happening.<br />

Eachset was lit up using clever<br />

spotlighting, creating areal live drama<br />

experience for the young actors.<br />

Di Dixon, the set designercreated the<br />

forest, the Granny’s house and the Fossil<br />

Café underground headquarters,with<br />

the help of herable crew.<br />

‘‘They say it takes avillage to raisea<br />

child, well tonight we saw it takes a<br />

community to put on aplay,’’ principal,<br />

Anne Batt,said at the end of the<br />

production.<br />

She acknowledged the tremendous<br />

support from the parents and the wider<br />

community in making the production the<br />

huge success.<br />

Aenjoyable part was when the staff,<br />

with aparent roped in to swell the<br />

numbers, wandered in through the<br />

forest dressed as Giant babies, complete<br />

with nappies,bibs and dummies. The<br />

babies had escaped from the Cabbage<br />

Patch, where they sit aroundwaiting for<br />

acall up to boost the school roll.A<br />

squawking Stork, skidded her way in on<br />

ascooter to round up the truant babies.<br />

Playwright Anne Battsays there was a<br />

lot of ad libbing in this scene, andittook<br />

abit of effort to get the play back on<br />

track.<br />

Every child in the school had apart to<br />

play, with many of the indicators set<br />

from the National Curriculum for the<br />

Arts covered in putting on the<br />

production.<br />

Museum redevelopment<br />

Resource consent has been granted for the<br />

proposed$195 million redevelopment of<br />

the <strong>Canterbury</strong> Museum.<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> Museum TrustBoard chair<br />

David Ayers says the consent is amajor<br />

milestoneinthe Museum’s project to<br />

protect its heritage buildings and bring its<br />

facilities into the 21st first century.<br />

The consentwas granted by<br />

Christchurch City Council last week, after<br />

ahearing on June 9and 10.<br />

“We’vebeen developing our<br />

redevelopment plans since May last year,<br />

whenweasked Cantabrians what they’d<br />

like tosee in aredeveloped Museum,” Mr<br />

Ayers says.<br />

‘‘ Now we can get on with full concept<br />

design of the buildings, whichweexpectto<br />

finishbythe end of the year.”<br />

The Museum already has well over half<br />

the money neededbut faces a$70 million<br />

shortfall.<br />

Mr Ayers says the Museum is in active<br />

discussions with possiblefundersand has<br />

developed abusiness case seeking funding<br />

from the Government.<br />

Rubbish bag cost rise<br />

The cost of arubbish bag in<br />

the Hurunui District has<br />

risen by 30c.<br />

They will now cost $3.30<br />

each, while the per tonne cost<br />

of waste disposal at the<br />

Amberley transfer station has<br />

risen from $255 to $268.<br />

The increases are due to a<br />

nationwide waste levy, set<br />

through the Waste<br />

Minimisation Act 2008,<br />

doubling from $10 per tonne<br />

to $20 per tonne.<br />

Hurunui District Council’s<br />

chief operations officer Dan<br />

Harris says the cost of the<br />

recycling bags has not<br />

changed, however, as away of<br />

incentivising recycling.<br />

“Also via the transfer<br />

stations, arange of items are<br />

accepted for recycling for<br />

free, providing the<br />

acceptance criteria is<br />

followed,” he says.<br />

Meanwhile athree year<br />

programme will see<br />

improvements and changes in<br />

how waste is dealt with in the<br />

district.<br />

Increased volumes of waste<br />

and recycling at Amberley,<br />

Cheviot and Hanmer Springs<br />

transfer stations has<br />

prompted the changes.<br />

Anew transfer station will<br />

be built in Cheviot to provide<br />

more space, improved<br />

facilities and better traffic<br />

flow, while sealing will be<br />

done at the Hanmer Springs<br />

transfer station, along with a<br />

sealed drop­off area for<br />

receiving green waste and<br />

selling mulch.<br />

At Amberley asecond<br />

weighbridge will be installed<br />

to improve traffic flow. A<br />

dedicated recycling area<br />

prior to the weighbridge will<br />

also be developed.<br />

gathering packed with<br />

workshops, guest speakers, a<br />

lunch with New Zealand<br />

to connect with other Youth<br />

‘‘It has been an<br />

inspirational and powerful<br />

community,” says Damien.<br />

“It was an amazing<br />

weekend; it has filled me with<br />

so much hope for the future.<br />

they had perspectives that<br />

you don’t always see in<br />

Hurunui.<br />

knowledge back to HYC,” says<br />

Millie.<br />

Hurunui District Council’s<br />

them use their knowledge to<br />

benefit the other youth of<br />

Hurunui.’’<br />

Artist supports Nepal<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

Rangiora artist Victoria Bennett is<br />

donating the proceeds of her latest<br />

exhibition to the Tansen Mission<br />

Hospital in Nepal.<br />

Victoria decided she wanted to help<br />

the hospital after learning the Nepalese<br />

people had been hit particularly hard by<br />

the Covid­19 pandemic.<br />

The latest World Health Organisation<br />

statistics show there has been 9,834<br />

deaths from Covid­19 in Nepal and there<br />

are 693,109 confirmed cases of the virus<br />

in the country.<br />

Nepal has also been seriously<br />

economically impacted by the pandemic,<br />

due in part to the severe downturn in<br />

tourism, and the United Nations<br />

International Children’s Emergency<br />

Fund (Unicef) figures show that seven<br />

million Nepalese children are now<br />

estimated to be living in poverty in the<br />

country, up from 1.3 million before the<br />

global pandemic.<br />

Victoria said she felt extremely lucky<br />

to be living in New Zealand. ‘‘We have so<br />

much,’’ she said.<br />

Her exhibition, Windhover,opened in<br />

the Rangiora Library’s Chamber Gallery<br />

last Sunday and ends on Thursday,<br />

September 2.<br />

It is atribute to the poetry of Gerard<br />

Manley Hopkins, an English Jesuit Priest<br />

who is considered to be one of the<br />

greatest Victorian­era poets.<br />

‘‘As an illustrator Ihave always wanted<br />

to pay tribute to the sonnets of Gerard<br />

Manley Hopkins, one of the greatest<br />

innovators of the English language and a<br />

man of strong personal faith,’’ she said.<br />

‘‘His poems deconstruct and recreate<br />

language in new and striking forms, and<br />

are the model for this series of paintings<br />

where whole pictures have been cut up<br />

and reassembled to form new images. My<br />

goal was to capture the intricate beauty<br />

of the sonnets,’’ she said.<br />

Waikuku rally siblings<br />

overcome challenges<br />

Robbie and Amy Stokes took out<br />

second­place at Rally Hawkes Bay<br />

during the fourth round of the New<br />

Zealand Rally Championship (NZRC).<br />

The Stokes siblings were thrilled to<br />

finally get aresult after mechanical<br />

issues meant they didn’t finish the first<br />

three rounds.<br />

The pair were dominant in their<br />

performance over the 156km of special<br />

stages, claiming second­place behind<br />

ex­World Rally Championship driver<br />

Hayden Paddon in all six stages.<br />

‘‘We were really pleased with our<br />

pace at Hawkes Bay. It was really good<br />

to see we were comfortably second all<br />

day and had agood margin to third<br />

place,’’ Mr Stokes says.<br />

The Stokes were 1minute 37 seconds<br />

faster than the next competitor, but<br />

were 3minutes 56 seconds behind Mr<br />

Paddon.<br />

‘‘We really want to keep trying to<br />

close that gap to Hayden. He is aworld<br />

class driver with so much experience<br />

on the world stage, so is areally good<br />

benchmark for us here in New<br />

Zealand.’’<br />

The Stokes Motorsport team, that is<br />

based between Waikuku, Nelson and<br />

Raglan, has worked tirelessly to make<br />

improvements to the car so it can cope<br />

with the pace of Robbie’s driving.<br />

‘‘We have some very clever people<br />

working on the car and it has finally<br />

paid off,’’ Ms Stokes says.<br />

‘‘The strain and stress it needs to<br />

handle is phenomenal so what our<br />

small team has created is truly<br />

amazing.’’<br />

TreasurerDerrick Walessays the shed<br />

has cost $70,000 to build,which has come<br />

from grants fromAIA Insurance and the<br />

Targeting domestic timber delivers results<br />

Adecision to develop Jimmy's Creek<br />

Forest, near Motunauin<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>,<br />

with the New Zealand domestic market in<br />

mind has been rewarded with favourable<br />

pricing.<br />

The forest is managed by Glenn Moir, the<br />

director of Forest Management Limited<br />

(FML),which was formed in 1990 to provide<br />

forestownerswith expertise in<br />

establishing forests plus tending,<br />

harvestingand marketing the timber from<br />

them in <strong>Canterbury</strong>, the West Coast, Otago<br />

and Southland.<br />

FML was approachedbythe forest’s<br />

ownersin1997 to takeover the<br />

management of the trees, Mr Moir says.<br />

The owners of the forest, Lynn and David<br />

Stone,Ross Hyndman, and Mikeand Jan<br />

Hodgenhad purchased the blockfrom Dick<br />

CarmichaelatCoringa Farm, near<br />

Motunau.<br />

It hadtwo stands. A24hectare blockof<br />

17­year­old trees which had sporadic<br />

pruning and consisted of morethan 1200<br />

stems perhectare, plus 86hawhich had<br />

been planted in 1993and consisted of 81ha<br />

of radiatapine with the remainder in<br />

macrocarpa spread in small pockets<br />

throughoutthe block.<br />

‘‘Our first task was to thin­to­wastestand<br />

one,’’MrMoir says.<br />

``Due to its age there was ahigh risk of<br />

windthrowsothe decision was madetothin<br />

to ahigher rate per hectare.’’<br />

Duringthe next 10 yearsthe company<br />

prunedand thinned the younger trees to<br />

produce amixed clearwoodand structural<br />

forestdependent on soils and shelter.<br />

Stand one was harvested in 2012and<br />

producedhigh volumes of quality sawlogs<br />

and postwood forthe domestic market.<br />

Since thenithas been replanted and will<br />

have pruning and thinning completed this<br />

comingsummer.<br />

Harvesting of standtwo is now under way<br />

Logging doing the work which is expected<br />

to be completedlater this year.<br />

‘‘Thisforest has also been grown witha<br />

domestic market focus and is producinga<br />

full range of products from high­value<br />

prunedand peeler logs and minimal<br />

amounts of export and low­grade chip<br />

wood,’’ Mr Moir says.<br />

‘‘It is carrying over 600 tonnes per<br />

hectare and generating exceptional<br />

stumpage returns(average value per tonne<br />

acrossall the grades cut)tothe forest<br />

owners.’’<br />

The forestry industryhas been ridinga<br />

high in recenttimes with log prices<br />

reaching highs not seensince the early<br />

1990s,bothoverseas and in New Zealand.<br />

Mr Moir cautionsthat although that<br />

cannotcontinue, the longterm outlookfor<br />

forestry is bright.<br />

‘‘We are now seeingasmall increase in<br />

the estate againonthe back of highcarbon<br />

and timberprices,and the long­term<br />

outlook is very positive for our industry.<br />

‘‘Thiscombination of carbon and timber<br />

is givinggreat returnsback to growersand<br />

we are seeingmore <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

landowners comparing these returnsto<br />

standard farming practices and making the<br />

decision to plant moretrees on their farms.<br />

already fully bookedfor 2022 with another<br />

1800habeing converted back to ‘green<br />

gold’.’’<br />

Protecting biodiversity<br />

By SHELLEY TOPP<br />

ATrust, established to protect open<br />

spaces of ecological and cultural<br />

significance has created an increasing<br />

network of more than 4,700 protected<br />

areas in New Zealand.<br />

The Queen Elizabeth II National Trust<br />

was established in 1977 with the aim of<br />

establishing partnerships with private<br />

landowners to protect sites of<br />

significance on their land with<br />

covenants. Under the covenants the<br />

landowner continues to own and manage<br />

the protected land, while the covenant,<br />

and protection of it, remains even when<br />

the property is sold to anew owner.<br />

The trust team works closely with<br />

landowners to support them and form<br />

long­term, trusting and credible<br />

relationships to maintain the<br />

partnerships.<br />

The covenants the partnerships have<br />

established now protect more than<br />

180,000 hectares of private land, ranging<br />

from small backyard patches to huge<br />

areas of high country and they play avital<br />

role in supporting some of New Zealand’s<br />

rarest and most endangered biodiversity<br />

and ecosystems.<br />

With almost 70 percent of New Zealand<br />

land in private ownership, protecting<br />

biodiversity and heritage on this land is<br />

critical to reversing the decline of<br />

indigenous biodiversity and preserving<br />

our history.<br />

The independent charitable Trust is<br />

based in Wellington but has 27 regional<br />

representatives nationwide, including<br />

Miles Giller in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

Miles has been the QEII Trust’s<br />

representative for <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

since 2001 and is often accompanied on<br />

his field work by his wife Gillian.<br />

Miles has aparticular interest in the<br />

many native small­leaved shrubs that are<br />

characteristic of the eastern South<br />

Island area.<br />

These plants are also afeature in the<br />

couple’s large, ecologically­based native<br />

garden at their home, near Rangiora.<br />

More than 150 covenants have been<br />

established on private land in Miles’s<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> area since 1977,<br />

including one now part­owned by Miles<br />

and Gillian.<br />

‘‘The secret to protecting most<br />

remnants of native flora and fauna lies in<br />

maintaining good pest and weed<br />

control,’’ Miles says.<br />

The couple get alot of satisfaction from<br />

helping people achieve that on their land<br />

and having ashare in their own covenant<br />

provides the couple with an opportunity<br />

to put into practice what they promote.<br />

‘‘Seeing aflock of 25 kereru feeding in<br />

akahikatea tree last autumn was fitting<br />

reward for all the covenant part owners,’’<br />

Miles says.<br />

Farmconsultant Dave Ashby is adairy<br />

He says it was aperiod of growth and<br />

development for him, working with arange<br />

of differentpeopleand dealing with<br />

swathes of scientific and technical data.<br />

‘‘I remember getting ahuge binderof<br />

documentstoread up on over the summer<br />

break as my introduction to the zone<br />

committee. Once Istarted reading through<br />

it, Igot really interested in it and saw it as<br />

an opportunity to make apositive<br />

difference.<br />

‘‘The idea of local solutions to<br />

environmental issues formulated by the<br />

communitywas whatreally appealed to<br />

me. Working withpeople who holdarange<br />

of differing viewsand trying to come to a<br />

consensus on how we could makeapositive<br />

differencetothe environment was a<br />

learning curve.’’<br />

Through listening to eachother,<br />

committeemembers achieved ‘‘a lot in a<br />

Kaiapoi claims NC Division 1rugby title<br />

RUGBY<br />

By LINDSAY KERR<br />

Athree­yearwait endedfor<br />

Kaiapoi rugby last Saturday<br />

when its Division 1team edged<br />

out Saracens 19­16towin this<br />

season’s Luisetti Seeds<strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> senior grand final.<br />

The victory was Kaiapoi’s first<br />

grand final title since its six point<br />

win over Oxfordin2010.<br />

Two agonising losses in the last<br />

two grandfinalsweighed on the<br />

minds of the Kaiapoi coaching<br />

staff Matt Newton and Simon<br />

Gunn, along withthe players who<br />

remained, as they prepared for<br />

the latest edition.<br />

This was compounded by the<br />

reality thatSaracens had beaten<br />

it twice thisseason.<br />

‘‘It was very heartening and<br />

was mademore so by the two<br />

lossestothem. Iamnot sure what<br />

the reaction might of have been<br />

had we lostagain,’’said Newton.<br />

‘‘Playingathome certainly<br />

helpedand with Saracens having<br />

beatenushere, that really<br />

helpedtostiffen our resolve and<br />

add an edge,’’ he said.<br />

Playedinfront of alarge crowd<br />

on their home ground,Kaiapoi<br />

was slowout of the starting<br />

blocks.<br />

It attacked first, but amissed<br />

handy penalty shot in the<br />

opening minutes appeared<br />

ominous, especially when<br />

Saracens full back HarryMurray<br />

ran 20 metres, throughtwo would<br />

be tacklers, to scorefive minutes<br />

later.<br />

In the meantime Kaiapoi<br />

kicker TaineJacob­Lawson<br />

found his confidence kicking a<br />

penalty. RickyAllinadded to<br />

Saracenstotal with apenalty,<br />

only for Jacob­Lawson tokick his<br />

second shot eight minutes before<br />

the break.<br />

In the moments before the<br />

break Kaiapoi began to apply<br />

pressureand if things had looked<br />

ominous for them earlyon, the<br />

table had started to turn.<br />

Allin extended Saracens’lead<br />

to 16­9 with two penalties in the<br />

opening minutes of the second<br />

half, but thatwas the end of its<br />

scoring.The momentum swung<br />

Kaiapoi’s wayand it hogged<br />

possession and territory for the<br />

remainder of the game.<br />

ASaracensscrum, thathad<br />

been dominant in recent<br />

encounters, began to falter<br />

leaving Kaiapoi to takecontrol.<br />

Mid way through the half,<br />

Kaiapoidrew level after its lock<br />

Nacanieli Namata made abarn<br />

­storming run, linkingupwith<br />

loosie Jarred Gilmore, who<br />

finished the job off with atry.<br />

Kaiapoi continuedtoapply<br />

pressure and camped in the<br />

Saracen’shalf for the majority of<br />

the remainder of the game.<br />

It hit the lead with another<br />

Jacobs­Lawsonpenalty 10<br />

minutes from the end and kept<br />

its nerve and discipline untilthe<br />

finalwhistle.<br />

Namata along with Gilmore<br />

and hookerRyan Clarkhad stand<br />

out gamesfor Kaiapoi, while half<br />

back Codey Grimescombined<br />

well withTaylor­Lawsonoutside<br />

him.<br />

Murray always looked<br />

dangerous with half agap on<br />

offerfor Saracens, but his<br />

opportunitiesgrew lessthe<br />

Scoreboard: Kaiapoi 19<br />

Jacob­Lawson 1conversion and 4<br />

penalties) beat Saracens 16<br />

(Harry Murray 1try, RickyAllin1<br />

The victory earned Kaiapoi<br />

the Alf Hunnibel Trophy. It was<br />

also Kaiapoi’s 13th<br />

championship titlesince joining<br />

the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

competition in 1965, having<br />

Title shared in Division 2final<br />

RUGBY<br />

By PETER WILLIAMS<br />

The very best of <strong>North</strong><br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong> rugby was on<br />

display at Kaiapoi Park on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Starting with two excellent<br />

exhibition games at under­12<br />

and under­13 level and<br />

finishing with two keenly<br />

contested finals at Division 2<br />

and Division 1level. There was<br />

plenty of support for all teams.<br />

Titleshared<br />

Anyone who was in Kaikoura<br />

on Saturday afternoon may<br />

have noticed the town was<br />

strangely quiet, as it seemed as<br />

though half the town was on the<br />

sideline at Kaiapoi (some<br />

arriving by helicopter) to<br />

support their Division 2side.<br />

The Division 2final was a<br />

pulsating one, ending in the title<br />

being shared.<br />

Played as acurtain raiser, It<br />

set the scene perfectlyfor the<br />

Division 1final, with avery<br />

closely­contested battle<br />

between the northern<br />

neighbours. Kaikoura had its<br />

nose in front 12­10 at half­time,<br />

and as the match entered injury<br />

time it had stretched its lead to<br />

29­22.<br />

But it was Glenmark­Cheviot<br />

which finished the stronger<br />

with club stalwart Andrew<br />

Zuppicich bullocking his way<br />

over next to the upright. Harry<br />

Fitzpatrickmade no mistake<br />

with the pressure kick, and with<br />

no provision for extra time in<br />

grand finals, the title was<br />

shared.<br />

Scoreboard:Kaikoura 29 (Stu<br />

History almost repeated itself<br />

in the match between Ashley<br />

and Glenmark­Cheviot. When<br />

these teams last met in the<br />

round­robin, Glenmark Cheviot<br />

built acommanding first half<br />

over the top of them in the<br />

second half and claim victory.<br />

On Saturday Glenmark­<br />

Cheviot led 19­7 at half­time.<br />

Ashleyagain showed its<br />

resilience to level at 19­all, but<br />

this time Glenmark­Cheviot had<br />

the last say when Brook<br />

Ashley put the seal on an<br />

excellent season, having<br />

already won the Combined<br />

Country Colts title, beating<br />

Glenmark­Cheviot convincingly.<br />

Winger Caleb Hazeldine<br />

impressedwith his speed while<br />

captain Nicholas Sim got<br />

through alot of work at lock.<br />

With players like those in this<br />

team about to come through to<br />

the open grades, it bodes very<br />

well for the future for the<br />

Ashley club.<br />

Stockwater Race Bylaw Under Review<br />

The Council is reviewing its 2019 Stockwater Race<br />

Bylawandisasking Waimakaririresidents and water<br />

race users for feedback on proposed changes.<br />

Stockwater portfolio holder Councillor Sandra Stewart<br />

says that she is really keen to hear from both<br />

residentsand stockwaterusers to makesurethe<br />

Council is on the right track.<br />

“We want to hear if any amendments are necessary<br />

before the final bylaw is adopted later this year.”<br />

“I’m particularly interested inrace users and<br />

residents’ views on the environmental benefits of<br />

the race network which through leakage, recharge<br />

our underground aquifers and dilute nitrate<br />

groundwater pollution” CrStewart said.<br />

“Whether these benefits should be funded through a<br />

district-wide environmental rate is proposed to be<br />

addressed in the future once the outcome ofthe<br />

Government’s Three Waters Reform is known.”<br />

“I look forward to hearing our community’s views<br />

on our approach to maintaining the water race<br />

system” she said.<br />

The races provide stockwater to 1,629 properties<br />

which pay an annual rate to cover management<br />

of the network. The races are almost 830km in<br />

length and cover over 42,000 hectares through the<br />

Waimakariri District.<br />

Thebylaw details the rulesprotectingthewater race<br />

network,and is an importanttooltohelp thecouncil<br />

and itscontractorsmake decisionswhile maintaining<br />

the supply of stockwater to users of the scheme.<br />

Councillors adopted the Stockwater Race Bylaw in<br />

2019 and undertook to carry out afurther review<br />

within two years, giving users and residents an<br />

opportunity for comment.<br />
