Covid-19 hits community events 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

AND DAVID HILL 

Covid19 has scuttledmany North 

Canterbury eventsand thrown others into 

turmoil. 

The Waikari Hospital centennial, North 

Canterbury Wearable Arts show,the 

KaikouraWhale Run, the Kaiapoi Spring 

Festival and Kaikoura Hop haveall been 

affected. 

For asecondtime, adisheartened 

committee organising the Waikari Hospital 

centennial, has had its plans to celebrate 

the hospital’s 100thbirthday thrown into 

disarray. 

It has now decided to cancelany formal 

celebration, and is optingtolook at an 

afternoonteam whenalert levels allow. 

Initially thecommittee had planned the 

centenary for September lastyear, 100 

years to the day when the hospital’s 

opening ceremony was held. 

Covid19 intervened with an autumn 

outbreak,sothey pushed the celebrations 

out ayear. Butthis year’s celebrations have 

suffered thesame fate and plans to hold 

hospital tours,plant acommemorative 

tree, enjoy acatered lunch, cut acentennial 

cake and enjoy adisplay of memorabilia 

this Saturday, September4,have again 

been thwarted. 

Aplay had also been specially written for 

the occasion by Denise Dent, aformer 

teacher at Hurunui College. It was to be 

performed by localactorsand contained 

both historical interest and goodhumour. 

The committee is now looking at holding 

an afternoon tea when alert levels permit.

The much anticipated North Canterbury 

Wearable Arts has postponedits showon 

Saturday in the Rangiora Town Hall,until 

further notice. 

But the organisers of the show are 

encouraging people nottoget despondent. 

Instead they urge them to getcreative,let 

their imagination run wild, and get their 

entries in, becausenow they have extra 

time to come up with an entry.

sponsorship coordinator, LindsaySnell

say the event is open to all ages acrossfive 

categories, and can provide afamilyfriendly 

project to do while waiting for 

CovidAlertlevels to drop, and children go 

back to school. 

‘‘Younger students can go crazy with 

agricultural and farming themes. The more 

mature studentscan get darkand 

mysterious withdreams and nightmares, or 

produce somethingtotally unique for the 

open category. 

‘‘Adultscan have fun withgeometrics or 

see where theircreativity takes them for 

the opencategory,’’ they say.Anew Light it 

Up class hadalso been planned forfamilies 

or teamsofadults. 

The show would havemarked the startof 

apartnership with McAlpines Mitre 10 

MEGA Rangiora as principal sponsor of the 

event, whilethe OxfordFarmers Market’s

Post-lockdown in the spotlight 

By DAVID HILL 

Planning remains in place, should the 

Waimakariri district's economy need a 

boost following the latest Covid19 

lockdown. 

Waimakariri District Council 

recovery manager Simon Hart says last 

year's Covid19 recovery plan remains 

in place, but given the way the region 

bounced back last year it may not be 

required. 

Last year's postlockdown bounce 

saw Waimakariri's retail spend get 

back on track quickly and end the year 

well ahead of 2019 levels. 

‘‘We do have arecovery plan that 

still sits in the background with 27 

candidate projects which could be 

called on to stimulate the local 

economy, but I'm not picking that it's 

going to be needed at this stage.’’ 

Under Alert Level 4the council was 

in the response phase under the 

leadership of emergency management 

adviser Brennan Wiremu. 

‘‘We've been monitoring it pretty 

closely through Civil Defence and 

working alongside our local agencies 

to assess whether there's any need in 

the community,’’ Mr Hart says. 

Council staff assessed whether there 

were any isolation issues with people 

Iconic Kaikoura events postponed 

From Page 1 

Two iconic Kaikoura events have 

beenpostponed due to Covid19 

uncertainty. 

The Kaikoura Hop will now be held 

fromNovember 24 to 28,while the 

Whale Runhas been postponed until 

March. 

Lastyear's Kaikoura Hop went 

ahead under Alert Level2,but 

organiserDoug O'Callahan saysthat 

was aone off. 

‘‘We'vegot to be practical. We lost 

money last year running it under level 

2, so we need to do it under level 1. 

‘‘I think moving it to November is 

going to be the best thing for Kaikoura, 

so we are going to put apositivespin 

on it.’’ 

While the timing willnot suit 

everybody, Mr O'Callahan is confident 

there willbebenefits with the move. 

‘‘There's lotsofadvantagesand 

disadvantages with the timing. At that 

timeofthe year we should get better 

weather and more daylight hours 

which willallowfor moreactivities. 

‘‘Wehad to push it out farenough 

awaytoensure we didn't have to do 

another rolloverorcancelit.’’ 

For now, Mr O'Callahan is in ‘‘crash 

mode’’ as he back tracksonthe event 

planning.

Mr Hart says social recovery 

planning put in place by the council's 

community team, working alongside 

local social service agencies, following 

last year's lockdown had paid off. 

‘‘The sense is there's no great 

immediate need that can't be managed 

by our existing structures. It means

feeling asenseofdeja vu, afterlast 

year'sWhaleRun was cancelled due to 

the region being under Alert Level 2.

again this year has createdsome 

anxiety, but rather than cancel the 

event for the second year running, 

The Widest Music Variety 

Tune in nowtolistenon104.9 North Canterbury 

and103.7 Hanmer Springs andKaikoura 

most people are coping for the time 

being.’’ 

While the immediate focus was on 

wellbeing and public safety, Mr Hart is 

keeping awatching brief on any 

possible economic fallout from the 

latest lockdown. 

‘‘There will be some economic 

activity concerns, but for now it 

remains alittle unclear because it's 

still quite early. 

‘‘But the economists are starting to 

get their heads around what concerns 

there might be.’’ 

Mr Hart is confident lessons learnt 

in last year's lockdown will help local 

businesses come through. 

‘‘A lot of people have learned alot of 

things in both the private and public 

sectors and we saw some amazing 

transformations from businesses being 

able to trade online and keep 

operating under Covid restrictions, so 

Iimagine those businesses will be 

going back to those playbooks.’’ 

For now Enterprise North 

Canterbury is working with local 

employers to offer advice around what 

support is available, including wage 

subsidies.

allowed more businesses to trade,

Hurunui attractive to visitors 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Lockdown has been asetback for 

Hurunui Tourism. but it is not all bad 

news. 

In ayear of challenges and hurdles 

for the tourismindustry, Hurunui 

Tourism has claimed the top spot for 

spend,setting businessesupfor success 

post lockdown. 

The regionaltourism operator 

recorded an increase of 28.6 percent on 

electronic cardspend, making Hurunui 

New Zealand’s leading region for the 

year ending June 2021. 

Visit Hurunui spokesman Shane 

Adcocksays the strong spendwill 

hopefully meanlocal operators are in a 

far better position to facethe next 

phase of the country’s fightagainst 

Holiday ruled out to make face masks 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

When JanneClare’s 7dayaweek business 

was ruled‘‘nonessential’’during last 

year’s Covid19 lockdown she considered 

taking aholiday. 

‘‘To begin withIdid think Ishould use 

the time in lockdown to have aholiday,’’ 

she said. 

But instead of that the ownerofJannz 

CraftShop, in Oxford’s Main Street, 

decided to do something to helpothers by 

making reusable, biodegradable face 

masksand the sidelineisnow an 

important part of her business. 

Initially Janne had searched online to 

find aface maskshe could buy just for 

herself. 

She found plenty to choose from, but 

none of them impressed her. 

‘‘They had too many layers,the qualityof 

the fabric and lining were not greatand 

many were using gauze as alining which is 

dangerousasyou can breathe in gauze 

fibres,’’Janne says. 

She decided to make her own mask 

usingher sewing machineand materials 

available in her craftshop and eventually 

decided to sell them through her business. 

Making the masks was achallenge,but, 

as a‘‘nonessentialbusiness’’, getting 

Government approval to sell them 

provided an even bigger hurdle to clear. 

‘‘I hadtoget accreditation fromthe 

Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI)and 

the Ministry of Business,Innovation and 

Employment (MBIE) to change this(non 

essential business) status so Icould sell 

the masks,’’ she says. ‘‘Thisinvolvedalot 

of emails,phone calls and research.’’ 

Although face masks have been 

declared mandatory during the current 

Covid19 lockdownrestrictions, during last 

year’s lockdown Government officials told 

Jannemasks did not provide protection 

against the virus so they werenot 

considered to be an essential item she

‘‘Our tourismoperatorshave worked 

tirelessly this past year to ensureour 

region remains attractive to domestic 

visitors and these figures prove they 

havecracked it. 

‘‘ Despite the current lockdown, 

which Iknow has beenahuge blow for 

operators,Iamconfident our region 

will pull through and be ready to host 

visitorswith that unparalleled North 

Canterbury hospitalityonce more, Mr 

Adcock says. 

Visitorsare beingdriven to the region 

across arange of channels, with traffic 

to the Hurunui Tourism websiteup96 

percent at the same time last year. 

The spending datashows the high 

value of tourismfor the region, Mr 

Adcock says.

‘‘So Idid more research and changed 

the thinking from ‘it won’tstop you getting 

the virus’ to ‘itwill stopyou –the wearer– 

spreading your bugstoothers’.’’ 

Eventually she was given Government 

approval to sell her masks with 

accreditation from MPI and MBIE. 

Janne provides apamphlet with each 

mask outlining how to carefor it and how 

long the maskcan be used. 

Each mask comeswith acustommade

enables the wearer to adjustitfor a

it is reassuring to see that Cantabrians 

and those visiting from out of town are 

supporting us in these ventures.’’ 

Spending in the region has continued 

to increase overthe pastyear.

Taking Covid in their stride 

By DAVID HILL 

There are positive signs local 

businesses can bounce back 

quicklyfrom the latest 

lockdown. 

North Canterbury businesses 

have largely been taking the 

latest Covid19lockdown in 

their stride, says Enterprise 

North Canterbury (ENC) 

business developmentmanager 

Miles Dalton. 

‘‘The general feeling is that 

businesses are much better 

prepared this time around, and 

alreadyknow whatfinancial 

supportisavailable from the 

Government,’’hesays. 

‘‘Last timewewere all thrown 

into an unprecedented 

situationand businesseswere 

understandablystruggling to 

make senseofitall on the fly. 

‘‘This time, mostbusinesses 

know what’s available, how to 

apply and how to manage their 

business and staff, whether 

they are required to close or 

are operating as an essential 

supplier.’’ 

Supportagencies, such as 

ENC, arealso better prepared 

this time around, Mr Dalton 

says. 

‘‘Across the board, the 

applicationprocesses, 

eligibility criteria and support

Simple steps to learn te reo 

NEWS 


Well prepared

Last year 30 million people 

worldwide began learning anew 

language during the Covid19 

global pandemic lockdown 

restrictions. 

In New Zealand, the Ministry 

of Education figures showed 

record enrolments for te reo 

lessons in schools last year and 

twice as many students on 

waiting lists to learn the 

language. Desray Lithgow, a 

teacher at Oxford’s View Hill 

School, who is also studying Te 

Putaketanga oteReo at 

Christchurch’s Te Wananga O 

Aotearoa, and holds community 

te reo classes at the Oxford Art 

Gallery, says interest in learning 

te reo is also growing in the wider 

community. 

For those people who want to 

test their languagelearning 

skills in alowkey way during 

lockdown Desray recommends 

peppering sentences with te reo. 

‘‘Pop in the words that you 

know. Ra instead of day, for 

example. Get comfortable with it, 

then add another kupu/word,’’ 

she says. 

‘‘My dad is a70plus yearold 

pakeha, he lives in the North 

Island, and Ifind it delightful 

that he pops in kupu, not forced, 

not complicated, just the odd 

word here and there. 

‘‘He has been doing it for years 

and has built up quite abit of 

knowledge, so it has become 

natural,’’ she says. 

‘‘Peppering your sentences 

also gets you speaking some te 

reo and takes the pressure off 

needing to know sentence

structure and tenses etc.’’ 

When learning anew language 

keeping things simple to start 

with is the key, Desray says. 

‘‘As an adult you have a 

sophisticated language that you 

use but when you learn te reo or 

any second language, remember 

that you need to enter at an 

infant level.’’ 

Desray recommends making 

good use of the online Maori 

Dictionary to find new words in 

te reo for everyday use. 

But she cautions that words 

may have many meanings so it is 

important to read through each 

to ensure you understand exactly 

what you are saying. 

Easy listening radio station 

Tahu FM (which is 90.5FM 

Christchurch or 90.7FM 

Kaikoura and nationwide on 

Channel 423 Sky). 

Desray also recommends the 

free 20week Te Wananga o 

Raukawa University online te 

reo course. ‘‘It is amazing but the 

demand is huge. You are either 

fast or you are last,’’ she says.

MattDoocey 

MP forWaimakariri 

Authorised by MattDoocey,Level1ConwayLane,188 High Street,Rangiora. 

Be careful, keep safe 

Thank you Waimakariri, we didit 

again. 

As we look to the easing of level 

restrictions,itisimportant we all 

continuetobecarefulsowedon’tlose 

the gains we’vemade in keeping our 

communities safe. 

Level 4was abusytimefor my team 

and Iasweset up to work remotely 

fromday one, responding to phone calls 

and emailsfromour residents who 

reached outfor help. 

As local MP, I’mabletoescalate 

concerns up to ahigh level,which can 

often helpingetting an issue moving 

again. 

At thestartoflockdown, Ireceived 

manycallsfromolder residents, and 

someessential workers, who found they 

had been senttothe back of the 

vaccinationqueue when theirjabswere 

cancelled. 

Iagree thatthis is unfair, and it is 

something Ihavebeen highlighting: to 

get on top of Delta,wehave to ensure 

our peopleinthe regions like 

Waimakariri areable to accesstheir 

vaccinations. 

As Chief Whip,ithas beenhelpfulfor 

me to drive theseissues thatI’m seeing 

on theground up to Caucus level,and 

I’vebeenarranging meetings via Zoom 

so we can continue to challengethe 

government on its strategies in 

confronting Covid19. 

My Caucus and Iweredevastated 

whenthe government ruled out thereconveningofthe 

Epidemic Response 

Committee under safeprotocols. 

The committeehad buyin fromevery 

party butLabour. If the government is 

makingthe right decisions around 

Covid19, then it should welcome 

openingtheseuptoscrutiny. 

We owe it to New Zealanders who are 

makingsacrificestokeep us safe. 

Manyofour small businesses in 

Waimakaririare doing it tough as a 

resultofhaving to close during 

lockdown. 

During the 2020 lockdown,weowed a 

debtofgratitudetoour small 

businessesinWaimakaririwhichkept 

local residentsinjobs and which 

supported our recovery. 

As National’s MentalHealth 

spokesperson, Ihavecalledonthe 

government to partner with 

BusinessNZand regional Chambers of 

Commerce to deliveraprogramme to 

provide mentalhealth support to our 

small business owners. 

Small businesses don’thavethe same 

access to EmployeeAssistance 

Programmes suchasmentalhealth 

support, so I'mcallingonthe 

government to urgently fund support 

for small businesses wheremental 

health issueshavebeenidentified. 

Lastly,with thelockdown,many of 

our community eventswerecancelled 

to keepour residentssafe. 

Someoftheseevents wereto 

celebrate important milestones, both 

for our community organisationsas 

wellasfor individual volunteers,to 

recognise andacknowledge their 

contributions. 

To all those volunteers and 

community organisationswho had to 

cancel or postpone your events, we say 

thank you and Ilookforward to being 

abletoattend and celebrate with youas 

soonasweare able to meetsafely.

We have got through thisbefore and 

will do so again. 

Ihave spent my time in video

Hospital centennial 

DearEditor, 

It is very sadand very frustratingfor allthe hardworking committeemembers and others 

involved to have to canceltheWaikariHospitalCentennial for the second time because 

of Covid. Could away be foundtostill celebratethecentennial? 

Iwouldliketosuggestthe creationofaWaikari Hospital Centennial fund to be 

administeredbythe FriendsofWaikariHospital and used by them to benefit the hospital 

—perhaps for aspecialised piece of medical equipment. 

Iamprepared to donate my registrationfee of $35 to theFriends for thispurpose,and 

Iknowthere areafew people who might also be prepared to do the same, so that some 

recognition can be given to mark the greathistoryofthis hospital. 

Yours, VScott,Hawarden

Amakeoverfor Carters Rd 

It has been more than adecade since Amberley’s main 

road upgrade was completed. Increased traffic levels has 

meant a more comprehensive Traffic Management plan 

has been imposed byWaka Kotahi/NZTA. 

The South Ward Committee has decided to remove the 

corokia hedging and replace with grass, to the existing 

riverstone edging and mown. The grasses along Carters 

Rd will be removed and replaced with lime chip or 

riverstone. 

Please email info@hurunui.govt.nz with your ideas.

Asnowystart to lastmonth 

At the beginning ofAugust we were living in astunning snow covered 

District. 

Although scenic, snow comes with its hazards. 

It was agreat team effort throughout the District to ensure everyone 

kept safe, whether this was keeping off the snow affected roads, 

clearing them, or looking out for neighbours and helping with stock. 

Thank you everyone, what awinter wonderland it was. 

Aword fromyour Mayor,MarieBlack 

"Hence this week we launched an 

informal conversation’ with everyone 

across the Hurunui District, inviting you 

to tell us about your initial thoughts on 

the Three Waters Reform Programme 

proposed by central government." 

We have spent some months now looking out from within our safe 

shores of New Zealand, grateful for the freedom. 

However, during our recent time in lockdown, we were lucky we could 

enjoy recreation from our doorsteps to some beautiful local spots. Our 

essential workers kept the cogs rolling, and I’m sure Ican speak on 

behalf of the entire District when Isay abig thank you. 

Ahuge thank you also to the District’s Health centres and volunteers 

who are carrying out avery efficient vaccine drive by. Iwas helping 

out on Saturday in Waikari and it was anabsolute pleasure to see 

such an effective system in place. 

We have all become rather creative in keeping ‘normal’ life rolling as 

much as we can. 

Hence, this week we launched an ‘informal conversation’ with 

everyone across the Hurunui District, inviting you to tell us about your 

initial thoughts on the Three Waters Reform Programme proposed by 

central government. 

Many of you have already contacted either myself, councillors and 

staff which I welcome, all helping to shape our thinking when we 

report back to central government on the proposal. 

Due to COVID-19 restrictions we have made creative means to 

communicate. We have an information page on the website along with 

aFacebook post this week, and information in print which all outlines 

how to get in touch; email, phone, and Zoom chats. 

Our final two Zoom chats are tomorrow, one during the day and one in 

the evening, where you can join in and share your thoughts –please 

ring in, email, or see our website for details. 

Once we return to ‘normality’ there may be some drop-in sessions too, 

and later in the year we will be carrying out aFormal Consultation 

process on the Reform proposal, much like how we did for LTP. 

Kia kaha, and thank you.

KaikōuraDistrict Council News 

Three Waters Reform Proposals 

The Government is proposing changes to theway NewZealand’s Three 

Waters(drinking-water, wastewaterand stormwater) services are delivered to 

thecommunity.The proposedchanges affect allcouncils acrossNew Zealand. 

KaikōuraDistrictCouncil will not be making anydecisions with regardtothe 

reforms without full consultation with ourcommunity. At this stage we are 

anticipating thiswilltake placelater in the year. 

Rightnow,wewanttobringtoyour attentionsomeofthe current information 

provided from central governmentwithregardtothe proposal and to seek 

your initialfeedback andviews. 

What We Know About The Proposals 

Currently most of these services in New Zealand aredelivered by 

67 local councils and are paid for by rates. Government is 

proposing thatresponsibility for providing these services is 

removed from local councilsand transferred to 4large multiregional 

entities. 

Under this proposal ThreeWaters servicesinthe Kaikoura District 

wouldbedelivered byanew entity that covers most ofthe South 

Island (covering the Ngāi Tahutakiwā),serving around 900,000 

people. 

Central government considers that such achangeisrequired 

becausesomecommunities currently face very substantial 

challenges to renew their infrastructure, provide and maintain 

ThreeWatersservices to the higherhealth and environmental 

standards that government believes peoplewant. 

TheThree Waters Reform proposal is based onabelief that 

havingmuch larger organisations deliver these serviceswill 

substantially improve efficiencyand resilience, enabling higher 

standards to beconsistently provided forrelatively little 

additional cost. 

The Questions WeHave SoFar... 

What exactly are the higher health and environmental standards for 

water that the government is proposing,and whatwouldamove to 

those standards mean at alocal level? 

How could local communities retain astrong say or influenceinrespect 

of how their water services are provided under asingle entity that 

coversnearly all of the South Island? 

How confident can we be that the new entity will achieve the 

suggested large cost efficiency improvements? 

If the new entity can’t achieve the suggested cost efficiency 

improvement, will people be willing to meetthe much highercosts 

required to achieve any higher health and environmental standards 

being proposed by government? 

What assurance is there that smaller communitieswon’t receive poorer 

service from an entity that may be strongly focussed on the larger 

towns? 

Where are the additional skilled personnel required for the new entity 

going to come from when there are already severe skills shortages in 

NZ? 

To what extent will particularcommunities be required to subsidise 

other communitiesthrough charges for water? 

Whatabsolute assurance is there that thenew large water entities 

would not be privatised at some time in the future, recognising that 

governments can change laws? 

How has the Department of InternalAffairs come up with such high 

estimated costs for growth and enhancementofour water 

infrastructure whensomuch of our Three Waters 

infrastructure has been renewedalready? 

Proposed Entity Boundaries 

Three Waters Assets and Services transferred from 

67 local councils to 4large multi-regional entities. 

We Want To Hear From You... What Do You Think? 

Currently central government has indicated to councils that they will 

be given achoice as to whether or not they opt in or out of the Three 

Waters Reform. This is undoubtedly the biggest decision faced by NZ 

Councils and their communities in ageneration and could potentially 

have consequences that extend beyond just the delivery of three 

waters services. 

Whilst Kaikōura District Council is not yet at astage where we have to 

make this difficult decision, the Government has given councils until the 

end of September to provide some initial feedback on the proposed 

reform. Before we report back to central government, we want to hear 

from you. 

You can provide feedback online atwww.kaikoura.govt.nz/ourservices/three-waters-reform, 

email CEO@kaikoura.govt.nz or 

post to PO Box 6, Kaikōura, 7340. Feedback closes 5pm Sunday 

19th September. 

More details of the proposalare available on our website which also 

includes links to the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) reform 

information. You can also sign up to our newsletter to receive monthly 

updates. www.kaikoura.govt.nz 

What are your thoughts on... 

How important is it for the community to be able to have a 

say in respect of how their local services are provided? 

How important to you is the continued improvement of 

health and environmental standards in respect of Three 

Waters (drinking water, wastewater and stormwater 

services) relative to what is currently provided? 

How willing are you to pay more for any higher standards, 

either through rates or water charges? 

Are you comfortable with the possibility that by spreading 

costs for water services over avery large area that some 

communities may be substantially subsidising others? 

Are there other aspects of this proposal that are of concern 

to you and on which you would like further information to 

be provided?

It was adifferent kind of opening to 

the usual fanfare surrounding the 

opening of anew store. 

Head of Retail Operations at 

Foodstuffs South Island, Ross Martin, 

says there was no ribbon cutting, or 

crowds of shoppers watching on. 

‘‘But it was still amomentous 

occasion for all. The team has been 

working hard to get the store built and 

open for this awesome new community 

and we really didn’t want lockdown to 

stand in the way of that,’’ Mr Martin 

says. 

Foodstuffs and owner operators of 

the store, Justin and Melissa Blackler, 

have worked closely with the Ministry 

of Business Innovation and Enterprise 

at Alert Level 4, and everyone is really 

proud to be able to open on time and on 

schedule, he says. 

All New World stores are 100% 

locally owned and operated, with store 

owners and their teams having the 

flexibility to cater to the specific needs 

of their community. 

Justin and Melissa Blackler, who live 

in Kaiapoi, have moved minutes up the 

road from their previous store, 

Raeward Fresh Harewood. 

‘‘We are looking forward to getting 

behind this awesome new community 

and are excited to share with them 

what is on offer instore,’’ Justin says 

‘‘For us finally to bring this store to 

the community is pretty special and 

the feedback we have received to date 

has been outstanding.’’ 

The new supermarket employs about 

100 locals including instore butchers, 

bakers and deli experts. 

Justin and Melissa Blackler 

‘‘We are all looking forward to 

providing fresh food, great value and 

excellent customer service,’’ Justin 

says. 

The New World Ravenswood 

supermarket was built in just over 12 

months and features an instore cafe, a 

spacious fresh foods hall, an extensive 

craft beer and local wine selection, a 

zeroalcohol zone and an Eco Store 

refillery station. 

It will provide afullscale grocery 

offering for the Ravenswood 

community and also cater to the wider 

North Canterbury community with the 

ability to grow as families move into 

the residential developments in 

surrounding areas. 

New World Ravenswood is located at 

10 Bob Robertson Drive, Woodend 

7691 and will be open seven days a 

week from 7am to 9pm. 

Walkie Talkies receive grant 

The Walkie Talkies have a 

spring in their step. 

The Kaikoura Netball 

Centre’s walking netball 

club has been awarded an 

ANZ Netball Grant. 

ANZ invites netball 

clubs and teams 

nationwide to apply for a 

grant to help them advance 

their training and put their 

best foot forward on game 

day. 

Kaikoura Netball Centre 

umpire coordinator Toni 

Batey applied on behalf of 

the Walkie Talkies to help 

kit out the new walking 

netball team which 

includes training and 

match balls, bibs, spot 

markers and agear bag. 

Toni says gaining the 

grant has been a‘‘bit of a 

boost”. 

‘‘It relieves the 

fundraising pressure and 

effort needed to get the 

walkers off the ground,’’ 

she says. 

Walking netball is a 

recent rule change to the 

classic game that removes 

running and jumping, 

appealing to those unable 

to keep up with the fast 

pace in regular netball. 

Toni says she would love 

to be able to play the 

senior games, but 

physically she can’t. 

‘‘This group of ladies 

wouldn’t have been 

playing any netball ayear 

ago,’’ says Toni. 

‘‘We’ve tried to contact 

other centres near us to 

encourage them to make 

All ages ... Kaikoura’s Walkie Talkies netballers are taking 

it all in their stride.

up ateam. 

‘‘We did ademo game in 

Culverden and we all 

laughed so much. There’s 

good banter, and we’re all 

very supportive of the 

other players,’’ she says. 

Toni says club secretary 

Demelza Sweeny has been 

“instrumental” in getting 

the walking team off the 

ground and will be 

accompanying the team to 

the National Masters 

competition later this 

year. 

‘‘We’re working on our 

plays and honing our 

skills. 

‘‘We’ve got agroup of 

ladies who haven’t played 

together before as ateam, 

but we really gel,’’ says 

Toni. 

Walking netball is totally 

new and the Walkie Talkies 

hope there will be other 

teams formed to compete 

against. 

ANZ head of 

sponsorship, Sue 

McGregor, says ANZ is 

proud to be supporting 

netball from walking 

teams like the Walkie 

Talkies,right up to the 

ANZ Premiership and 

Silver Ferns. ‘‘We hope 

this grant helps keep the 

passion for netball alive in 

the community for many 

seasons to come.’’

New role for artist 

Local artist Mandy Palmer is 

enjoying supporting the 

community in anew role. 

Ms Palmer took over as 

TimeBank Waimakariri coordinator 

in July, after the 

previous coordinator, 

Waimakariri District Council 

community development 

facilitator Martin Pugh, 

encouraged her to apply. 

‘‘Martin’s great. He’s the one 

who sold the role to me and I 

decided it would be agreat 

way to be apart of the 

community.’’ 

She already has strong 

connections through the local 

art world, including being 

instrumental in establishing 

the Pegasus Bay Art Show and 

continues to chair the 

organising committee. 

This year’s art show is the 

fifth one and is due to this next 

month, with over 80 artists 

from throughout Canterbury 

as afundraiser for the school. 

She describes atimebank as 

acommunity of individuals 

and organisations, who share 

their time rather than paying 

for someone. 

‘‘The important thing to 

remember is that everybody’s 

time is equal it’s your time 

that’s of value.’’ 

People earn ‘‘time credits’’ 

by volunteering their time and 

they can use those at alater 

time or gift them to someone 

else. 

Since taking over the role, 

Ms Palmer has been touching 

base with the more 

established TimeBank 

Hurunui and the Lyttelton 

Time Bank to get some ideas 

Mandy Palmer 

to help TimeBank 

Waimakariri to grow. 

Established three years ago, 

TimeBank Waimakariri now 

has 109 members and is 

continuing to grow. 

‘‘The majority of members 

are aged 50plus, but we would 

definitely love to see more 

young people. We take people 

of any age and schools could 

even join,’’ Ms Palmer says. 

‘‘There’s so many different 

talents in the community. I 

just met with the Pegasus 

Woodend Women’s Institute 

and they want to share 

because several of their 

members knit and they’ve got 

noone to knit for.’’

Lifeline for Cancer Society 


CancerSociety New Zealandhas 

been given adigitallifeline after 

the charity had to cancel its 

Daffodil Day street collections. 

The collections were 

scheduled for August27and 28, 

but had to be cancelled because 

of the Covid19 level 4lockdown 

restrictions. 

CancerSociety North 

Canterbury fundraising and 

eventsmanager Tiffany Wafer 

says having to cancelthe Daffodil 

Day street collectionswas ahuge 

setback, but the digital daffodil 

app initiative would be amassive 

help. 

‘‘Itisgoing to make ahuge 

difference’’. 

In North Canterbury there are 

plans to reschedule many 

fundraising events. 

The ANZ Bank, which has been 

the main DaffodilDay supporter 

for 31 years, raising almost $20 

million in that time, matched 

Friday’s Daffodil Day donations 

made through its ANZ Digital 

Daffodilapp dollarfordollar up 

to $500,000. 

The bank was joined in its 

DaffodilDay onlineinitiative by 

asmall groupoftechnology 

entrepreneursand investors, 

who want to remain anonymous. 

Together they will donate $3 for 

every $1 donatedbythe public 

through the digital daffodil app 

with agoal of raising $1.5 million 

for the Cancer Society. 

CancerSociety brandand 

communications manager Deb 

McPherson said although the cut 

off for the ANZ Bank’s digital 

daffodil initiative was last 

Friday, donations and 

fundraising via its website www. 

daffodilday.org.nzisongoing 

with many schoolsindicating 

they intend to still do aDaffodil 

Day fundraiser onceschools 

reopen. 

Vaccination delays frustrating -MP 

Cantabrians are voicing 

frustration over Covid19 

vaccination delays, which will 

be further compounded if the 

rollout is scaledback, 

WaimakaririMPMatt Doocey 

says. 

Cantabrians have already 

been penalised in the Covid19 

vaccine rollout, the 

Canterbury District Health 

Board(CDHB) recordingsome 

of the lowestvaccination rates 

for priority groups, he says. 

Mr Dooceysays the 

Government’s failuretoto 

orderenoughvaccinations will 

likely slowthe process even 

more. 

‘‘I haveeven heardfrom a 

medical professional who is 

furious Canterbury is lagging 

behind other regions,’’ he says. 

‘‘While sheisvaccinated, 

neither her husband nor her 

elderly parents havehad their 

jabs yet, despite following all 

the guidelines.’’ 

Thosewho havecalledonMr 

Doocey for help include 

frontlineand essential 

workers, teachers and the 

elderly. 

‘‘I’mgetting calls from 

residentswho had bookings 

cancelled when we wentinto 

lockdown, and whenthey try to 

rebook they havetogotothe 

back of the queue.’’ 

Some were unabletorebook 

theirfirst jab before their 

scheduled second jab. Mr 

Doocey says the CDHB should 

have prioritisedcancelled 

bookingswhichresultedfrom 

the lockdown announcement. 

‘‘Last month Ihad elderly 

residentsreaching out to me to 

say,wewantthis vaccine, we 

needit, but we cantget it. 

‘‘Now here we are, in 

lockdown, with many of them 

facing another longand 

anxious wait. 

‘‘Lets face it, if the vaccine 

rollout had been effectively 

managedfrom the start, many 

of these now evenmore 

vulnerable residents would 

havehad their two vaccinations 

longago. 

‘‘I cannot speakhighly 

enough of the great workbeing 

carried out by our vaccinators, 

local pharmacists and GPs. 

‘‘But I’m callingonthe 

Governmenttoclearupthis 

shambles before more people 

findthemselves either at the 

backofthe line, or havingtheir 

currentvaccination date 

delayed.’’

Food rescue service essential 

By DAVID HILL 

NorthCanterbury's food rescue 

service is continuing to operate 

during the lockdown to ensure local 

families don't go hungry. 

As an essential service, it is 

business as usualfor Satisfy Food 

Rescue in redistributing food to 

food banks throughout North 

Canterbury, distributioncoordinatorMichelle 

Campbell says. 

Volunteers are continuingto 

make noncontact collections of 

excess foodeach day fromlocal 

supermarkets and arereceiving 

bulk deliveries from the New 

Zealand Food Network. 

‘‘We havejust enough food to 

service the food banks and other 

organisationsweare supporting in 

lockdown, but we couldalwaysdo 

with more,” Ms Campbell says. 

Whilethere has beennoincrease 

in demandfrom foodbanks across 

the Waimakariri district, “there has 

been adefinitespikeinHurunui,’’ 

Ms Campbell says. 

Satisfy Food Rescue supplies 

threefood banks in the Hurunui 

district, withagrowth in demand 

beingexperienced at Culverden 

and Cheviot. 

In spite of the speed of this year's 

lockdown, Hurunui District Council 

community activator Roger 

Hornblow says food banks across 

the regionhave not faced the levels 

of demand experienced last year, so 

far. 

‘‘Satisfy Food Rescue are the

Campbell gives the thumbs up to supporters of the food rescue service.

absolute legends in all of this. 

‘‘There is aslight spikeatthe 

moment, but we are monitoringthe 

situation and thereisnothing out of 

the ordinary.’’ 

But the pressures on food banks 

may changethe longer the 

lockdown goes on and its ongoing 

impactishard to predict,Ms 

Campbell says. 

Some localorganisationshave 

already made some generous 

donations since the lockdown 

began, withMainPower Stadium

Happy Hens hasbeen providing 

eggs it would otherwise have been 

sellingatfarmers' markets, she 

says. 

‘‘Satisfy can help with noncontactcollections

Supporting local producers 

Enterprise North Canterbury has been 

supporting local producers to keep 

operating during lockdown. 

Using its Made North Canterbury 

provenance brand, Enterprise North 

Canterbury has been connecting 

consumers with local food and beverage 

businesses. 

‘‘Very soon after the lockdown was 

announced it became apparent that 

North Canterbury consumers were 

wanting to continue to support local 

producers,’’ Enterprise North 

Canterbury food and beverage business 

development manager Alissa Wilson 

says. 

‘‘We had enquiries as to which Made 

North Canterbury members were able to 

deliver during Level 4and we also had 

members contacting us to see if we could 

notify consumers that they were open for 

business.’’ 

Checking the Made North Canterbury 

member database, Ms Wilson found most 

were deemed essential food and 

beverage businesses by the Government 

and compiled an online database. 

The database features 39 local 

producers who can offer contactless 

delivery during lockdown, ranging from 

eggs, meat and dairy to pantry staples, 

honey, coffee, wine, beer and even gin. 

‘‘All of our members offer quality, 

fresh, locally produced items,’’ Ms 

Wilson says. 

‘‘By choosing to support them you are 

guaranteed atasty addition to your 

pantry or fridge and you're supporting a 

local business, whose profit will go back 

into the local economy, which is just what 

we all need right now.’’ 

Since lockdown, Ms Wilson has also 

been inundated with local producers 

keen to sign on as Made North 

Canterbury members. 

‘‘I think the value of becoming aMade 

North Canterbury member and being 

Alissa Wilson 

part of acommunity of likeminded 

businesses becomes very apparent at 

times like this. 

‘‘As well as helping to extensively 

promote our local producers, we work to 

connect our members to suppliers and to 

create relationships and collaborations 

within our member base. 

‘‘Outside of lockdown we also create 

and engage in large scale food and 

beverage events, giving our members an 

opportunity to get their name and 

products out to wider audiences.’’ 

The move to level 3means more local 

businesses will be able to operate, with 

restrictions. 

To find out more, contact Alissa Wilson 

on alissa@enterprisenc.co.nz

Canterbury members operating in 

lockdown can be found here: https:/

Many opportunities for lab technicians 

Over thepasttwo years,

“Our classsizes aresmall,our programmes

From homes to farm buildings and 

far beyond -BGBeaven do it all! 

Forthe past 43 years BGBeaven, a 

well-established Rotherham-based 

building company,has been providing 

building services throughout North 

Canterbury. 

Its expertise is sought from Amberley 

in the south to Kaikoura in the north, 

and everywhere in between. 

Today it employs 12 builders based 

in Kaikoura, Rotherham, Hanmer 

Springs and other North Canterbury 

centres. 

Barney and his wife Wendy are 

Kaikoura-based, where they are 

building their own home to eventually 

retire in. 

Barney Beaven began building 

woolsheds as a21-year-old. Today,he 

has replaced many with calf sheds as 

dairying has become more prolific in 

the region. 

However,the company’s work extends 

far beyond farmbuildings. 

It now provides everything from 

repairing weatherboards to building 

$2 million architecturally designed 

homes. 

BGBeaven continues to be in 

demand. It has several new homes 

on the go, with one in Culverden, and 

one in Amberley being built for people 

whom the company has built houses 

for before. 

The company continues to do EQC 

repairs on homes and buildings 

damaged in the 7.8 magnitude 

November 2016 quake, which had its 

epicentre in Waiau. 

‘‘Wecare about these people. BG 

Beaven is now trusted and listened to 

by insurance companies,’’ 

Wendy says. 

BGBeaven can get 

plans drawn up 

for clients from 

reputable

Business as usual under Covid 

By DAVID HILL 

While it is largely business as usual for 

the region's farmers, Covid19 is having 

an impact on the rural sector. 

While the move to Alert Level 3isa 

step in the right direction, it is still 

lockdown and its impact will depend on 

how long it remains in place, Canterbury 

Rural Advisory Group chairperson 

Winton Dalley says. 

Covid19 is just the latest challenge to 

knock the sector, on top of drought and 

flooding. 

‘‘I'm not getting any reports of serious 

issues. The shearing sector is carrying on 

with social distancing and those who I've 

spoken to have systems in place,’’ Mr 

Dalley says. 

‘‘I'm not hearing of any issues in meat 

processing in Canterbury and I 

understand that as an essential service 

they have been given priority for Covid 

vaccinations. 

‘‘And I'm not aware of any supply chain 

issues yet. Most products are moving OK. 

Things will be abit slower, but there's no 

reports of any serious shortages.’’ 

Rural sector leaders are continuing to 

hold regular Zoom meetings to keep up to 

Winton Dalley 

date on the multiple challenges facing 

the rural sector. 

Level 4restrictions meant shearing 

gangs and freezing works operated at a 

reduced capacity and Level 3would 

make little difference, so aprolonged 

stay in lockdown will potentially lead to 

abacklog, Mr Dalley says. 

‘‘I wouldn't be surprised if we are in for 

tighter restrictions under Level 3than 

we were last time and we could be there 

for awhile yet. 

‘‘For farmers needing to destock and 

lambs contracted for the spring period, it 

will be impacted, so any slow down in 

those processes will cause some stress. 

‘‘We're also at the peak of calving, 

which means the bobby calf kill may be 

held up, so there's alot of potential 

issues.’’ 

Covid19 is causing some delays for 

international shipping, impacting on 

New Zealand's primary exports and the 

ability of farmers and contractors to 

import new machinery. 

Recruiting staff for the new season is 

also achallenge due to border 

restrictions and New Zealand's relatively 

high employment rate. 

After the autumn drought and flooding, 

farmers were holding out for some spring 

growth, Mr Dalley says. 

‘‘All we can do is plan for the worst and 

hope for the best and anything better 

than that is abonus.’’ 

The best farmers can do is look after 

themselves, their families and staff to get 

through the latest challenges. 

Shearing essential service in lockdown 

By DAVIDHILL 

Shearing has continued amid the 

lockdown. 

North Canterbury shearing 

contractor Mark Herlihy says the Alert 

Level 4lockdown could not have come 

at aworse time for local shearing gangs. 

‘‘We're into the last of our prelamb 

shears, so we're on apretty tight 

schedule. It's all hands on deck, but 

with the restrictions we've had to cut 

down on numbers in our teams’’ 

Under level 4, teams of two shearers 

and two shed hands have been 

operating in travelling bubbles and 

wearing masks, he says. 

‘‘Normally we would have double that 

number in ateam and get through the 

work alot quicker, so we are pretty 

lucky that the farmers are patient, but 

they understand there's restrictions’’ 

The restrictions mean farmers are 

putting up QR codes, hand sanitisers 

and masks and then staying out of the 

sheds. 

Some farmers prefer to do their own 

woolclassing, which is not possible 

under level 4restrictions, so some are 

choosing to postpone for acouple of 

weeks, Mr Herlihy says. 

It also means the shearing teams are 

taking their own food and missing out 

the usual farm homebaking, as some 

Essential service ... Mark Herlihy says shearers were better prepared after the 

experience of last year’s lockdown. 

farmers ‘‘go out of their way to spoil us’’. 

Level 3will make adifference, but 

there will still be restrictions, he says. 

‘‘The rules will come out through the 

contractors association, but it's just 

something we have to adapt to. 

‘‘It's the new normal. We've been here 

RURAL LIFE 


PHOTO: FILE 

before and to be fair, it's probably never 

going to be the way it was acouple of 

years ago.’’ 

But after last year's lockdown 

experience, Mr Herlihy says most 

shearing contractors would have been 

better prepared this time round

Household Junk Burdens Charity Shops 

Local charity shops are finding hordes of unusable 

household items and rubbish piling up outside their 

doorsteps, as people dump items from lockdown 

decluttering aer hours. 

Solid Waste Manager KittyWaghorn says it’salways 

been an issue, but lockdown has caused abig spike. 

“A lot of people do the rightthing, but there are some 

who think acharity shop is arubbishdump. It’s not ok 

to leaveunwantedhousehold goods and rubbishat 

charity shops or clothing bins. They shouldn’thaveto 

deal with that kindofthing”, says Kitty. 

People are urged to hold onto their rubbish for now 

until Transfer Stations can operate normally for 

dumping unwanted household rubbish. The ReSale 

Store will re-open for dropping off household items 

in good useable condition as soon as COVID-19 

Alert Levels allow. Updates will be posted on the 

Council’s Facebook page and website. 

Kitty said dumping materials took money away 

from the stores’ crucial funding for community 

initiatives. Stained mattresses, food, odd shoes, 

broken furniture and toys and general rubbish 

oen end up becoming acharity shop’s problem. 

Proposed Three Waters Reform 

There is still time to let us know what you think 

about the Government’s Proposed Three Waters 

Reform. The Council is encouraging residents to 

head online (waimakariri.govt.nz/letstalk) to learn
