An injection of sight for Daphne 

Rangiora woman, Daphne Rogers,has had 

over 100 injections in her eyesoverthe 

past 11 years. 

The91yearoldhas wet Macular 

Degeneration(MD), in both eyes. One eye 

is classed as legally blind,the other has 

reasonable vision as aresult of ongoing 

treatment. 

Shewas diagnosedwith Macular 

Degeneration,afterayear in which she 

lost her husband,lost her home to the 2011 

earthquakes, and had to relocate her life 

andpossessions from the Red Zone in 

Avonside to Rangiora. 

Daphne’s fatherlost his vision from 

what was then called ‘wetness behind the 

eye’. At the time there was no treatment 

available. Daphne’s two sisters also 

developed MD, but luckily it didn’t affect 

herbrothers. 

“One of my sisters decided not to have 

thetreatment because of the thoughtofthe 

injections,and for otherreasonsand, 

sadly, within ashort time,she losther 

vision and her independence.” 

Daphne firstnoticed symptoms of MD 

when she was looking at her venetian 

blinds and noticed they looked ‘wavy’. She 

immediatelycalled her optometrist, and 

wasreferred to an ophthalmologist, who 

shesaw the next morning. 

Theophthalmologist told Daphne she 

would needaseries ofAvastininjections 

into her eyestosave her sight from 

deteriorating.Daphne went homehaving 

hadher first ever eye injection. 

“I didn’t like havingthe injections, but I 

knew it was importantnot to delay,soIjust 

gotonwith it. They didn’t really hurt, it 

wasjustthe thought of it. 

‘‘Ihave done yogasince 1966,(and still 

holds yogaclasses in her community) so I 

Daphne Rogers 

wouldgointo deep relaxed state when 

they put me in the chair to have the 

injection, andthathelped hugely. 

‘‘Thenurses got used to me doingthis, 

but one day anew youngnursecameinto 

the room and called for helpbecause she 

couldn’trouse me. She got suchafright.’’ 

Afterhavingthe injectionsataprivate 

clinic for quite afew months,Daphnewas 

referredtothe publichealthsystem and, 

last month had endured 108 injections 

over 11 years. 

MD has impacted her lifetoadegree, 

but Daphne has avery positive attitude 

and doesn’t let it affect her emotionally. 

She is aware of beingcareful not to 

misjudge curbsand doesn’t have any mats 

on the floor to trip on. 

She is extremelyindependent and still 

drives herself locally. Daphnehas always 

been an excellentseamstressand has up 

until recently, beenable to do finework. 

Recently Daphnenoticed the visionin 

her only ‘good’ eye was deteriorating, 

which was quite frightening. She then had 

cataract surgery, and to her surprise she 

could see the amazing colours of her 

homemade cushionsand was especially 

happy when she saw the colour of her 

brother’s browneyes again. 

Havingthe injections has becomepart 

of her life, and they are are now six weeks 

apart as sheishavingEyleainstead of 

Avastin to maintain her vision. 

Both medications are funded.Daphne 

uses the St John shuttle to get to and from 

her appointments at the hospital, helping 

her feel safe and secure, and makingit 

easierfor her to maintainthe treatment 

schedule. 

“Thereislife with Macular 

Degeneration. Treatment hasenabledme 

to keepgoing and to be independent for 

longer. My advice to anyonewho has 

symptoms is to see aspecialist as soon as 

possible and to continue the treatment. 

Peopleneed to be moreaware of Macular 

Degeneration.”

New role for associate pastor 

By DAVID HILL 

The recentlockdown offeredAndrew 

Thornborrowthe chance to become 

familiarwithhis newcommunity. 

The newRangioraBaptist Church 

associatepastor moved his familyfrom 

Masterton to Pegasus in August to takeup 

his new role, whichincludescoordinatingthe 

Rangiora Youth 

Community Trust and overseeing 247 

youthworkersinlocal highschools. 

‘‘I started twodaysbeforelockdown,so 

it madeitdifficult to gettoknowpeople, 

but it wasgood to spend timegetting 

settledinand familiarising ourselves 

with thenew community. 

‘‘It was good to discover thebeach, 

because in theWairarapaitwas along 

drivetoget to the beach.’’ 

Andrew was bornand bred in atiny 

town just outofGisborne, before moving 

to Auckland where he worked briefly as a 

youthpastor, ‘‘butthat feels likealife 

time ago’’. 

The Rangiora Youth Community Trust 

coordinates the local247 youthworker 

programmes, which is jointly funded 

between the school, alocal church and 

the trust. 

Whilethe 247youth workersare based 

in Rangiora HighSchool and Rangiora 

New Life School,Andrewsays therehave 

been approaches from localprimary 

schools as to whether theinitiative canbe 

extended to them. 

‘‘They arefinding that the need for 

pastoral careisbecomingmoreobvious. 

There’sdefinitelyaneed out theresowe 

are working through aprocess. 

‘‘Whether there’s something we can do 

with theirschoolunderthe 247umbrella 

or similarissomethingweare working 

through.’’ 

The 247 YouthWorkTrust is a 

Christian based initiative,first 

established in Christchurch andhas 

Andrew Thornborrow 

spreadthroughout New Zealand. 

‘‘It’snormally ahighschoolinitiative, 

but thereare someintermediate schools 

thathave it,’’Andrew says. 

‘‘The waythe model is setupisthatthe 

intentionisthe youthworker spends10 

hours aweekinthe school, butprimary 

schoolsdon’t really have that sortof

hours acrossdifferent schools.’’ 

Rangiora High School hasfouryouth 

workersand Rangiora NewLife School 

has two. 

The trust doesthe administration for 

the youth workers, ensuringthey are paid 

andproviding supervision. 

‘‘Andmaking surethey areOK, because 

they spending alot of time makingsure 

young people areOK, so part of my roleis 

providingpastoralcare,’’Andrew says. 

Whilethe 247initiative is

competition at that level. 

Last Saturday its opening 

match was against the Te 

Kura Hagley Park Tennis 

Club premier grade players 

at its Sewell Street courts in 

Kaiapoi. 

‘‘They are ayoung team 

who were near the top of last 

season's Christchurch 

Division One Ladies grade 

and were invited to join the 

Premier Ladies as a 

challenge to grow their game 

and the game in North 

Canterbury. 

‘‘Playing against better 

players improves 

performance, learning 

experience and provides a 

good challenge,’’ she said. 

Although the Kaiapoi 

players lost all of their six 

games during the day they 

acquitted themselves well. 

They learnt alot from their 

first experience competing at 

the premier grade level, and 

are looking forward to the

Chair, Waimakariri Age-friendly 

Advisory Group 

Many changes afoot 

It is really easytofocus all our 

attentiononthe Three Waters Reform 

to the detriment of otherpending 

changes. 

The governmentisproposing the 

Natural and Built Environment Act, 

together with the Climate 

Adaptation Act and the Strategic 

Planning Act to be adirect 

replacement of the Resource 

ManagementAct. 

Currentlylocal authorities have 

oversightofthe scope andcontentof 

individual district plans, they are 

able to question and probe on 

planning frameworks and gain an 

appreciation of how the legislation 

will work, who it will affectand 

whether the outcomes soughtare 

achievable and fit for purpose. 

As withthe proposed Three Waters 

Reform the RMA reform is also 

seeking to introducenew systems 

that will remove local voice. 

In my opinion it is criticalthis 

decision making at least staysinthe 

handsofelected members to retain a 

structure based on representative 

democracy. 

To denyelected members the 

opportunity and deny their 

obligationstocontribute, does 

appear like abackwardstep. 

“The casefor reformofthe health 

systemisclear”aheadline title in 

the 2018 governmentcommissioned 

paper. 

It is aimed at strengthening our 

healthsystem. 

The reform is to refocus the role of 

the Ministry of Health and to create 

anew organisationcalled HealthNZ, 

createanew Maori Healthauthority 

and establish anew publichealth 

agency. 

In practice it is desirable that 

everyone will be able to accessa 

wider range of supporttostay well 

in the communitywith services 

designed to wrap around people’s 

needs,itisimportant that we keepa 

close eye on this reformtoensure 

that thevoiceofruralisnot lost. 

In closing Iwould like to thank all 

who haveparticipatedinthe 

vaccines roll out. 

This strategy will enable us to 

reverttothe freedomswevalue and 

hopefully the opportunitytotravel 

to loved ones at Christmas. 

It has been aprivilege to work 

closely with the PractiseManagers 

acrossthe district to see how we can 

strengthen our collective position. 

Thank you to allthe staff across 

the district who have worked 

tirelessly to supportthe role out. 

It is truly appreciated. 

Many helpful aids 

to keep us mobile 

I’m notvery mobile at themomentand 

my doctor recommended Igeta 

Mobility ParkingPermit for thecar. 

It arrived in the mail recently. I’m not 

sure howmuchIwilluse it, depending 

on whereIamand whereIneed to go. 

Butweare privileged in New Zealand 

to have such thingsavailable. 

We have amemberofthe 

Waimakariri Access Group (WAG) on 

ourAgefriendly Advisory Group. 

Iwenttotheirannual general 

meetingrecently wheremembers of the 

Waimakariri Counciland various 

District Boardsalso attended. 

We appreciatetheir support. 

Afriend hasinjuredher leg and 

needs to go tohospital appointments. 

Sheisnew to Waimakariri,andIwas 

pleased to be abletotellher about the

Iheardaninterviewonthe radio 

recently about agroup called Access 

Alliance which is lobbyingGovernment 

to pass the Accessibilityfor New 

Zealanders Acttocover all persons with 

disabilities, whether their disability is 

considered physical, sensory,cognitive, 

communicationormental health 

related and willinclude visible, 

invisible,permanentorepisodic 

conditions. 

This is the same definition used by 

the UnitedNations Convention on the 

RightsofPersonswithDisabilities.

TheEscooter trial, approved before 

the lastround of lockdowns, beginson 

November 1, forsix months. 

Agefriendlydoesnot supportthis 

and Iencouragepeople to report any 

incidents to theWaimakaririDistrict 

Council. 

On theday of the Vaxathon, Iheard on 

TV accessibility forpeoplewithany sort 

of disability had not beenconsidered. 

That is not goodnews. 

There is still alot of awareness to be 

raisedaround accessibility. 

Road Safety 

DearEditor, 

“Roadsafety in Woodend urgent” 

(North Canterbury News,October 14). 

Funny that—it wasurgent back in 

the 60s. 

Thenew SaltwaterCreek bridgewas 

rebuilt to alignwith the new Ashley 

bridge on the motorway extension from 

Pineacres on. 

It is worthnoting thatthe bypass of 

both Waipara and Leithfield townships 

were completed by 1972, but the 

Amberley bypasswas “canned”. 

Imaginethose two townstodaywith 

the massiveincrease in traffic 

rumblingthough dayand night!

The new facility at 5SeddonSt, 

where theCheviot TownHall once 

stood, was officially opened last 

Wednesday by HurunuiMayor 

Marie Black. 

MrsBlacksaid thenew shed was 

avaluable asset forthe

NZ MenzShedpresidentTrevor

They started with 10 members 

whowere initially offeredthe use 

of theCheviotAreaSchool 

woodwork room. 

‘‘We wereveryquickly 

undertakingprojects for local 

community groups,’’ Bruce said. 

‘‘However,the limitationsof 

having to operate outsideschool 

hours led thegrouptoconsider 

getting it’s ownpremises.’’ 

Themembershiphas grown to 

17 and that is expected to increase 

nowthat the new building has 

7 

been opened. 

‘‘We havebeenoverwhelmedby 

people’sgenerosity in the 

community,’’Bruce said. ‘‘We 

have hadcashdonations, widows

at recentmeetingshas generallybeen good, 

he wants to remindpeopleabout how 

important it is to stick to the rules. 

‘‘We cannot have people not complying 

with the rules and run therisk of being 

audited by the police or MPI (Ministry of 

Primary Industries), and being closed 

down,’’ he says. 

The Governmentannounced an easingof 

restrictions in Aucklandand tweaks to 

AlertLevel2restrictions for the rest of the 

country earlier this month. 

Aspokesperson for the New Zealand 

TrottingClub,whichisscheduled to host 

the New Zealand TrottingCup on Tuesday, 

November 9, at Addington Raceway in 

Christchurch, and the Kaikoura Cup on 

Monday, November 1, says the tweaks do 

not change muchfor the club as Canterbury 

wouldhave to be at AlertLevel 1toget the 

go ahead foratraditionalCup day. The 

tweaks do allow for crowds of more than 

100 people at hospitality venues,but all 

guests havetobeseated, waited on and 

socially distanced. 

Watching out for children 

With children back at school this week, 

motorists are being reminded to take 

extra care. 

As the daysget warmer we can expect 

to see more children walking and biking 

to school, Waimakariri District Council 

road safety coordinator Kathy Graham 

says. 

‘‘If you do drive your children to 

school, consider parking further away 

from the school gate and walk,’’ she says. 

‘‘This will help reduce congestion 

making it safer for everyone. 

‘‘Double parking is abig concern 

during pickup and dropoff times and 

puts children at risk by creating more 

hazards for them to negotiate.’’ 

She encourages motorists to reduce 

their speed around schoolsand allow 

plenty of space whenthey see children 

walking or cycling. 

‘‘Kids can’t always judge the speed and 

distance of approaching cars, so slow 

down and expect the unexpected.’’ 

She reminds motorists that the speed 

limit when passing astationary school 

bus is 20kph, regardless of the direction 

you are passing.

Food demand amystery 

By DAVID HILL 

Aspike in demand at Hurunui’s foodbanks 

during lockdown remains amystery. 

The district’s three food banks in 

Waipara, Waikari and Amberley, saw a 

largespike in demand, jumping from140 

to 150 foodboxes amonthto220 during 

August, Hurunui District Council 

community activator Roger Hornblow 

says. 

In comparison Waimakariri’s food banks 

experienced only asmall increasein 

demand. 

‘‘I’mataloss to explain it,’’ Mr Hornblow 

says.‘‘We talked about it at ourFood 

Secure North Canterburymeeting and we 

couldn’tcome up withanexplanation. 

‘‘When kids aren’t at school and it’s abit 

cold outside of coursethey’re going to eat 

amore, butthat’s goingtobethe same in 

Rangiora and Kaiapoi and thosefood 

banksdidn’t experience the same spike.’’ 

Duringlast year’s lockdown, most food 

banks across the regionexperienceda 

spike in demand as part of the Hurunui 

and Waimakariri District Councils’ Civil 

Defence responses. 

Figures from last year’s lockdown 

indicate more than70percent of the 

Hurunui district’s workforceare essential 

workers, due largelytothe rural sector. 

The growing demand in Hurunui has 

sparked the need for afood storage facility 

in Amberley, to complement Satisfy Food 

Rescue’s base in Kaiapoi. 

Food Secure NorthCanterbury is also 

working with the Kaiapoi Food Forest to 

develop food forests in Hanmer Springs 

and Amberley to support the wider 

community. 

‘‘The shiningstar in all of this is Satisfy, 

they’ve been outstanding,’’ saysMr 

Hornblow. 

Post lockdown data fromHurunui’s food 

banks suggest demand has eased.

Adriel fosters quality

Aunique little home in Amberleyis 

providingplenty for its residents to do as 

Covid19 Alert Level 2restrictions curb 

outings. 

Adriel Houseand Rest Home owner 

Mischeal McCormick says Covid19 

restrictions havebeen challengingfor 

everyone,but at Adriel activities have 

kept everyone busy and engaged. 

Adriel is aSparkofLifeCentre of 

Excellence,which focuses on the quality 

of the connection between carers and 

residents, and theirfamilies. 

It also fosters kindness, compassion, 

empathy, and respect. 

Home craftshave beenthe focus at the 

home overrecentweeks, with produce 

from the home’s gardensand trees being 

put to gooduse, along with wood brought 

in by the staff. 

One group of residents has been 

making quincejelly,blackcurrant jam 

andmarmalade, whileanother hasbeen 

busy baking. 

Meanwhile another grouphave been 

enjoying making food balls for birds, 

whichare hung fromtrees, and crafting 

tool boxes. 

Powertools were not on the agenda of 

residents. 

They preferredtouse good old 

fashioned elbowgrease,sandpaper,and 

hammer and nails ratherthan noisy 

moderndaypower tools. 

Mischeal says afew weeks was spent 

on the tool boxes, sanding and 

varnishing them, with the homes 

maintenance man PhilArmstrong 

lending support and encouragement. 

She says the activitiesprompted many 

to talk about their favouriterecipes and 

haveconversations about their jam, 

baking and woodcraftskills from days 

goneby. 

‘‘That is the essence of SparkofLife — 

to stimulate conversation and memory,’’ 

she says. 

Covid19 restrictions havealso curbed

the bountyoftheir efforts in the kitchen 

and workshop. 

Insteadsales tablesinAdrielHouse,

for visitors to buy the goods when they

The funds raised go to Dementia Care 

International. Adrielalso offers daycare 

for residents to give carers some respite,

Crayfest runs from October 29 to 

November 14, capturing Marlborough 

Anniversary weekend and Christchurch

‘‘The aim of Crayfest is to make 

crayfish accessible to everyone, 

celebrate crayfish seasonality and to 

encourage sustainability through 

enjoying ataste of crayfish and sharing a 

cray among friends and family,’’ Future 

Kaikoura chairperson Mel Skinner says. 

‘‘It is also agreat way to support a 

variety of businesses throughout 

Kaikoura. 

‘‘This year we have some incredible 

dishes being created along with some 

amazing events, activities and packages.’’ 

The response from businesses has 

been ‘‘incredible’’, with nearly 30 

businesses involved with new ones 

coming on board each day, she says. 

‘‘Dishes are being created, beers are 

brewing, accommodation plumping 

pillows, charter fishers preparing pots, 

helicopters on standby, musicians 

jamming and bubbles on ice. 

‘‘We even have Atawera Art doing 

crayfish tattoos. Its going to be amazing.’’ 

Renowned Lyttelton chef Giulio Sturla,

team at Simes Kitchen on Beach Road. 

Giulio was named chef of the year in 

2018, previously ran Roots in Lyttelton,

supporttoconstruct anew bridge 

across the Waiau Toa /Clarence River, 

about 500 metres downstream from the 

former GlenAlton bridge, whichwas 

destroyedinthe November2016 

earthquake. 

Atechnical peer review presented to 

arecent council meeting confirmed the 

preferred location remainsthe best 

option and made some 

recommendations for wider river 

protection workswhich could address 

concerns raised by Te Runanga o 

Kaikoura. 

‘‘Ithas taken awee while, but we’re 

working closely withthe runanga to 

findasolution,’’ Mayor Craig Mackle 

says. 

‘‘It’s been passedfrom our end, but 

it’sjust amatterofworking together to 

get the bestoutcome.’’ 

Waiau Toa /Clarence River has 

cultural significance for Te Runanga o 

Kaikoura as the riveroflife. 

WakaKotahi New ZealandTransport

Parklike surrounds ... Anative tree planting programme at Kaikoura’s New Zealand 

Motor Home and Caravan Association Park is creating aparklike place for members 

to stay and attracting more native birds to the area. 


Park-like surrounds at new 

Kaikoura caravan park 


Aplanting programme at the New 

Zealand Motor Home and Caravan 

Association (NZMCA) park in Kaikoura 

is attracting more native birds to the 

area. 

The ‘‘boundary planting’’ at the park, 

aformer lifestyle block, is an extension 

to the native garden which already 

existed at the property before it was 

purchased by the NZMCA. 

The planting is creating aparklike 

environment for members holidaying 

at the park, with tui, bellbirds and 

quail regular visitors. 

The NZMCA’s Marlborough branch 

chair, Ian Simmonds said the Kaikoura 

park was opened in December 2019 

and the native planting programme is a 

work in progress ‘‘to enhance what was 

already there.’’ 

The park is one of 47 NZMCA owned 

or leased parks around New Zealand 

for its more than 105,000 members to 

use. 

Ian said the first park was purchased 

during the 1950s with the aim of 

providing NZMCA members with 

affordable holiday options. 

‘‘We have alot of fun.’’ 

Traditionally members have 

consisted mainly of retired people. 

‘‘Some of the parks are just 

paddocks, but we are seeing an 

increase in young families becoming 

members.’’ 

With this in mind the association is 

now including children’s playgrounds 

at some of their parks. 

Members pay aoneoff joining fee of 

$150 plus an annual subscription fee of 

$90 and they must display their red 

wings membership stickers and 

registration tags on their vehicles. 

All members must also have selfcontained 

vehicles. 

‘‘You can’t become amember unless 

your vehicle meets environmental selfcontained 

standards,’’ Ian said. ‘‘We 

don't want to spoil the environment for 

others.’’

Dangerous dumping ... Decramastic roof tiles containing asbestos have been 

dumped at local transfer stations. 


Concern over asbestos tiles 

Aspate of people dumping decramastic 

roofing tiles at the Oxfordand 

Southbrook Transfer Stations is causing 

headaches forstaff,aspositive asbestos 

testsmake for costlycleanupbills. 

In the last week,two loads of 

decramastic tilescontainingasbestos 

have been dumped at each transfer 

station,with cleanup costsmountingto 

more than$12,500. This follows several 

similar incidents overthe last few 

months. 

‘‘Some roofing tiles contain asbestos, 

so whenthey get droppedoff we haveto 

isolate the areaswherethe tileswere 

dumped and send samples to atesting 

lab,’’ Waimakariri District Councilsolid 

wasteasset managerKittyWaghorn says. 

‘‘These ones came back positive, so a 

specialist removal company has hadto 

dispose of them safely and correctly.’’ 

The first pile were dropped in the 

scrapmetal area at the Oxford Transfer 

Station during aweekend recently,while 

the other was left in askip of building 

waste in the rubbish pit at the 

Southbrook ResourceRecovery Park. 

Areas need to be isolatedwhile 

samplesare tested, which means parts of 

the transfer stations need to be closedoff 

to the public until resultsare known and 

the tiles dealt with by specialists. 

‘‘Ifpeoplewant to removeroof tiles, 

theyneed to get them tested first,’’ Ms 

Waghorn says.‘‘If they containasbestos, 

theyneed to be removed by someone that 

knows how to safely remove and dispose 

of them.’’ 

She says if people go on to remove the 

tiles themselves, they could potentially 

risktheir own health as well of the health 

of theirfamily,and may spread asbestos 

fibres beyondthe property boundary. 

The Ministry of Healthsays asbestoscontaining 

materials in good condition 

willnot release asbestos fibres, and 

there is no danger unless fibresare 

released andinhaledinto lungs.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Second time lucky 

at tertiary study 

After an unhappyexperience studying 

engineeringatuniversity, 23-year-oldKylie 

Wilson says she was“seriouslyput off” 

tertiary educationtothe pointshe never 

thoughtshe’d go back to study. 

“I left unidue to thelackofsupport, 

intenseworkloadand inabilitytospecialise 

in theway Ithought Icould,” says Kylie. 

Fortunately, friends who’dstudied at Ara 

InstituteofCanterburyconvinced herthat 

she’dhaveacompletelydifferentexperience 

if she went there. “And they were absolutely 

right,”she says. “Tothisday,studyingatAra 

has been thebestdecisionI’vemade.” 

Kylie says she’s enjoying everything about 

beingatAra, whereshe’s studying two 

diplomas concurrently –one in quantity 

surveyingand theother in civilengineering. 

“I love thesmall classsizesand theability 

to reallyget to know your tutors andlearn 

more from them. The tutorsare awesome; 

they know youbynameand arealways 

willingtohelp, no matter whetheryou’re

interests. They’re also happytodiscuss 

their industry experience with youwhichis

don’tget from university.” 

Having notbeenabletospecialise as she’d 

wanted to at university, Kylie is making the 

most of herdoublediploma approach at

After alessthanideal university

others to studyatAra. “Just do it,” she 

says. “Mybiggest regret wastaking18

‘‘All of the short and medium

An initial budget of $18.3 

millionwas set in the 2018/28 

Long Term Plan (LTP), with $12.3 

millionspent as at June30this

immediately following the 

earthquakes. 

The revisedregeneration 

implementation budget was set

the next few years. 

While the earthquakes may 

have have happened more than 

10 years ago and most of the 

recovery and regenerationwork 

has been completed, several of 

the projects are long term and 

even multigenerational, Mr 

Roxborough says.

Roxburgh Dam. 

He spent many hours workingin 

freezing conditions as the dozers never 

had cabs back then. 

He travelled to Australia and 

operated bulldozers on water schemes 

and in opencast coal mines. 

On his return to New Zealand, Dave 

was offered the opportunity to buy an 

International TD9A from Trevor 

Taylor (a returned serviceman). 

The business was based in Waiau 

and this is where it has remained since 

1957. 

Dave’s son Billy also has dieselinhis 

blood and joined his Dad in business in 

1999. 

Today they have aworkforce of 15 

and operate an array of machines, 

includingbulldozers, diggers, trucks,

loaders and offer shingle supplies. 

The company does alarge variety of 

earthworks. 

‘‘We do alot of work for sheep and 

beef farmers including maintenance 

and track work and work in the hill 

country,’’ Billy Lott says. 

‘‘Most farmers around here have a 

Lott Block on their farms named after 

Dave. 

‘‘We also do alot of work alongside 

ECan, particularly around river 

protection. 

‘‘The majority of the original river 

protection around Waiau was put in 

voluntarily by Dave Lott and Waiau 

locals.’’ 

Dave has enjoyed working on many 

different farms throughout the 

Hurunui and always enjoys catching 

up with the farmersfor ayarn. 

His daily office scenery is forever 

changing and never are there two days 

the same. 

Driving bulldozershas and will 

always be his passion. 

The future of Lott Contracting looks 

promising with Dave’s grandchildren 

sharing his love of machinery. 

‘‘They are extremely lucky to have 

Dave as their role model, his work 

ethic is second to none and his love of 

his job is what has kept his own tracks 

turning for so long,’’ Billy says. 

Dave has no plans to slow down 

anytime soon.

North Canterbury News, October 21, 2021 

Sun wanted after cold spring 

By DAVID HILL 

North Canterbury farmers are looking 

for sunshine afteraslow start to spring. 

Federated Farmers North 

Canterbury sharemilkers 

spokesperson Theo Sneek, of Oxford, is 

looking forwardtosome sun afterthe 

colder weather and recentrain meant 

spring conditions arrivedthreeweeks 

later thannormal. 

‘‘Wehad agoodcalving seasonand 

we’ve had agoodrun with staff, we’ve 

got agood team so we are pretty happy. 

‘‘And we had enough feed on hand, 

but some farmers were struggling for 

feedwith everything beingtwo to three 

weeks laterthan normal.’’ 

Coming off the autumn drought, 

farmers have endured awet winter and 

earlyspring,meaning thereisplentyof 

moisture about, Mr Sneek says. 

‘‘I think it will be good for November 

withsome sunny weather.’’ 

Production has been down compared 

to last season, but there is plentyof 

time to pick it up with fine summer and 

autumn weather. 

Whilethere is ashortage of workers 

in the sector, Mr Sneek says he has had 

no trouble finding and retaining good 

staffbyensuring they are paidproperly 

for thehours they do. 

‘‘I think it is hard to find people, but 

there’sstill too many instanceswhere 

people don’t get paidright.’’ 


Canterbury meat and woolvicechairperson 

Stu Fraser, who farms 

beside the Hurunui River, says spring 

grass growth has beenslow,but 

lambing was gone well. 

‘‘Our lamb survival has been better 

thanaverageand now we’re just 

waitingonthings to catchup.’’ 


Canterbury presidentCaroline Amyes 

saysfarmers have reported a 

challengingstart to spring. 

‘‘Weare just starting to get some good 

growth now which is good. 

‘‘The windhas causedsame damage 

to infrastructureand irrigators,but 

Slow start ... Farmers are optimistic 

despite aslow start to spring. 

PHOTO: FILE 

fortunately therehas also beenplenty 

of rain so the irrigators haven’t missed 

out. 

‘‘Spring has been variable with 

growth rates lower than expected,but 

it seems to be coming out the other 

side.’’ 

On the positive side, milkprices are 

strong and meat prices are holding 

steady,she says. 

But fertiliser prices are high and 

costs of production are increasing due 

in part to delaysover imports. 

While Covid19 Alert Level 2has had 

minimalimpactonfarm,farmers are 

disappointed not to havethe usual 

spring A&P shows to attend, Ms Amyes 

says. 

‘‘It wouldhave beenreally good to 

have the Canterbury Show to helplift 

morale,but hopefully it will go ahead 

next year and people will support it 

becausewedon’twant that to 

disappear.’’

Young boxers taking it to the next level 

BOXING 

By JOHN COSGROVE 

For the first time, atrio of 

youngCanterbury boxers have 

started specialist training with 

High Performance Sport New 

Zealand. 

All three, however, are no 

strangerstothe pressures of 

nationallevel competition. 

DanielMeehan (18), from 

Smiling Tigers, Hameura 

Tainui (17), of Woolston, and 

Leon Gibson (17), of Waikuku, 

are all age group,nationaland 

Golden Glove champions. 

Nowthey have the 

opportunity of taking their 

sporting careers in new 

directions. 

Forthe next six months,they 

will be individually mentored 

by specialistsatthe HPSNZ 

centre near Jellie Park. 

They willlearn about 

preparation, fitness, mental 

conditioning and nutrition. 

HPSNZ regional manager 

Andrew Ellis says it is the first 

time they have invited athletes 

at this youth age level andlike 

their coaches, he believes it 

means alot for the sport here in 

Canterbury. 

‘‘It's partofthe pilotscheme 

for HPSNZ’s newregional 

model due in 2022 with its focus 

on developing talent in regional 

sports,’’ he says. 

Aimed at formalising the 

career pathwaysofyoung 

talented athletes, by helping 

them to progress towards elite 

and eventually country 

representation. 

‘‘We invite them, their 

families and coaches to a 

meeting where we learn all 

about what they are doing, what 

theyunderstand about the 

pathways open to themand the 

levels of performance theyare 

seeking,’’ Mr Ellis says. 

‘‘It’s aboutdiscovering their 

aspirations on andoff the field. 

‘‘We try to find someofthe 

rocks that need to be shifted at 

this stage in their careers. 

‘‘Everyoneisdifferent, so it is 

not about them sitting there 

having someone just telling 

them what to do, they must lead 

the project.’’ 

HPSNZisalso running a 

regional coaching pilotscheme 

at the same time, with 12 

emerging coaches fromprehigh 

performance 

environments learning how to 

build their coaching 

capabilities in alignment with 

their athletes. 

Woolston head coach Holly 

Sullivan says it is awonderful 

opportunity for young athletes 

inthe junior boxing 

programme. 

‘‘Thereisalot of talent in the 

grassrootssport here,but often 

it’s only the mainstream 

national levelsports that have 

access to HPSNZ,’’ she says. 

Ms Sullivan says it is eyeopeningasitgives 

her, as a 

coach, an insightinto the 

resources they have. 

Rising star ... Leon Gibson (17, centre), of Waikuku, is receiving specialist training from High Performance 

Sport New Zealand. 


‘‘We have somereal talent 

herebut we are lacking 

pathways guidance for our 

athletes. 

‘‘With support like this, it 

helps us as coaches and 

encourages the athletes that 

there is apathway forward and 

achancetohit someoftheir 

goals.’’ 

Smiling Tigers coach Mark 

Fuller says it will be an 

invaluable experience for the 

young men. 

‘‘Daniel has already had a 

few sessions with them and said 

he wasenjoying the 

opportunities offered. 

‘‘The specialist coaches there 

have all thatindepth 

knowledgewhich is justwhat 

these young lads need right now 

at this pointintheir careers,we 

still coach them to box but what 

they learn from their mentors 

helps themontheir future 

pathways in boxing,’’ he said.

Parking Strategy Plans for Future Growth 

The Council is planning forthe future of parking in the 

Waimakariri District with the dra District Parking 

Strategyreleasedthis week forcommunity feedback. 

The Strategy follows an informal parking survey 

completed earlier this year, which identified parking 

challenges from the community’s perspective. 

According to the 400 respondents, the top three 

issues were: anundersupply of carparks (49% of 

contributors), traffic flow/congestion onthe main 

streets in the town centres (39%), and limited town 

centre parking for all day workers (37%). 

The Council estimates that within the Rangiora 

Town Centre alone, an additional 800 carparks 

will be needed by2048. Vanessa Thompson, 

Business and Centres Advisor, says the dra 

doesn’t get into detailed planning about where and 

how parking will be provided, rather it provides 

strategic direction for parking management in the 

Waimakariri District. 

“It aims to strike ahealthy balance between a 

range of issues such as our growing population, 

community expectations, transport emission 

targets, alternative transport modes and costs to 

the ratepayer,” says Vanessa. 

The dra District Parking Strategy contains 18 

policies which each cover different aspects of 

parking such as the supply of new parks, parking 

enforcement, priced parking and signage. 

Vanessa says the Council is keen to hear feedback 

from the community on the concepts and ideas 

contained within the strategy.

In arecent parking survey, our community 

told uswhat they saw asthe key parking 

issues for Waimakariri. 

Respondents wanted ittobeeasier to find parks 

in town centres and have options for parking 

longer than two hours. They wanted parking 

to remain affordable, while also supporting 

alternative transport options that could reduce 

the need for private vehicles. 

We’ve now produced adra District Parking 

Strategy which plans for the future parking 

needs of our growing District and wewant
