Daffodils helping grow awareness<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Huge yellow wooden daffodils are<br />
helping grow the profileofCancer<br />
Society <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Crafted by Amberley MenzShed<br />
members, the daffodils, along witha<br />
bunch of smaller ones, were to have<br />
bloomed during the annualDaffodil<br />
Day street appeal fundraiser in August.<br />
It was hoped they wouldenhance the<br />
presence of collectors, brighten the day<br />
for people out and about, and providea<br />
funtalking point.<br />
But DaffodilDay had to be cancelled<br />
because of the Covid19 lockdown<br />
restrictions.<br />
The large daffodils will now haveto<br />
waituntilnext yeartobloom, whenthey<br />
willbeused by the six <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> volunteer Cancer Support<br />
groups during the 2022 Daffodil Day<br />
street collections.<br />
There are also planstouse them at<br />
other local Cancer Societyevents and<br />
promotions.<br />
The smaller variety will, however,<br />
lendtheir support to the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> centre, providing avalued<br />
source of income.<br />
Theyare being sold for $25 eachand<br />
are available at the centre’shome at<br />
143 Percival Street, Rangiora.<br />
While Covid19 has taken its toll on<br />
the project, it has failedtodampen<br />
spirits.<br />
Those involvedsay the effortsofthe<br />
MenzShed members,and the society,<br />
which embraced the project, has<br />
provided a‘‘winwin for everyone’’.<br />
Cancer Society <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s<br />
fundraisingand events manager,<br />
TiffanyWafer, saysthe organisationis<br />
extremely grateful for the support from<br />
fantastic local community groups like<br />
the MenzShed Amberley, in raising the<br />
profileand awareness of the Cancer<br />
Society<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> and its work<br />
and support in the community.<br />
Amberley MenzShed member and<br />
daffodil project manager Chris<br />
Constable says working on the project<br />
was beneficial to the MenzShed<br />
members, the Cancer Society and the<br />
cancerpatients the societysupported.<br />
‘‘It was awinwin for everyone and a<br />
very enjoyableprojecttowork on,’’ he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘We have been delightedtobe<br />
working with the CancerSociety on this<br />
project, as we see it as athoroughly<br />
worthwhile activity for both themand<br />
us.<br />
‘‘Theyneed the publicity and<br />

Plaque to honour WW1 service<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The Rangiora War MemorialCenotaph<br />
will be the firstinNew Zealand’s historyto<br />
honourthe war serviceofanimals,<br />
alongsidethe listed menand womenthat<br />
served.<br />
Agraniteplaque will take prideof<br />
placeonthe rearface of the Cenotaph in<br />
central Rangiora, and will be unveiled by<br />
Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon, on<br />
November 19 at aspecialservice.<br />
The unveilingwill followaparade from<br />
the Rangiora RSA of dignitaries, including<br />
RSA president Ian Thompson, supporters<br />
and animals.<br />
The plaque carries the logo designed by<br />
local Okuku artist, Stephanie<br />
Skjoldebrand,in2015 for the Birch Hill<br />
Station WWI Memorial Ride. It hasbeen<br />
crafted by Decra Art, in Christchurch, and<br />
is the result of tireless workbya<br />
passionate group of animal loversto<br />
honourand remember the serviceof<br />
animals, none of which received any<br />
recognition for the important part they<br />
playedinthe WWI 1914 to 1918.<br />
Skjoldebrand’s logohas alreadyfound<br />
its way to the Pozieres memorial in the<br />
Somme Valley in France, in an<br />
internationaldisplaytohonour the WWI<br />
service animals.<br />
It willnow takeits rightful place on the<br />
Rangiora cenotaph, thanks to $1460 being<br />
raisedfrom the local community during a<br />
Birch HillStation Remember the War<br />
Horse Ride in 2018, and the hardwork of<br />
Thereza Rosanowski, Okuku,Ann Wilson,<br />
Cust, and Clare Hammond, Mt Thomas.<br />
It honours the 10,000 New Zealand<br />
horses, alongwith donkeys, mules and<br />
camels, and around2000 dogs,cats,<br />
canaries and pigeons.Dogs served as<br />
mascots, sniffed outbombs and found<br />
injured soldiers, cats caught ratsinthe<br />
trenches, canarieswent into tunnels to<br />
identify the presence of gas and the<br />
pigeons flew through gunfire or mustard<br />
gas taking lifesavingmessages.<br />
‘‘These animalswere alsothe soldiers’<br />
best friend on their darkest days. They did<br />
not really receiveacknowledgement until<br />
recentyears,’’says Thereza.<br />
She says theirloyalty was<br />
unquestionable, their human partnership<br />

Ashley fury ... Afire volunteer keeps akeen eye on the Ashley/Rakahuri River from the Cones Road Bridge, as flood waters continued<br />
to rise during the May 31 flood. The severity of flood damage to some properties meant the question of ‘‘retreat scenarios’’ was pondered.<br />
Retreating afuture possibility<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
‘‘Retreat scenarios’, where land is<br />
damaged so much it is deemed<br />
uneconomic to restore, may need to be<br />
considered in future disaster<br />
recoveries.<br />
Waimakariri District Council<br />
recovery manager Simon Hart says<br />
council staff engaged with government<br />
agencies and the insurance industry,<br />
following the May 31 flood event to help<br />
determine whether some properties<br />
were economically viable to be<br />
repaired.<br />
A‘‘retreat scenario’’ is where<br />
properties with land damage are<br />
deemed uneconomical to restore, such<br />
as the residential red zone following the<br />
2010 and 2011 earthquakes in Kaiapoi.<br />
‘‘It’s amassive issue. The discussion of<br />
‘retreat scenarios’ is anational level<br />
conversation and Ithink it will be<br />
something councils will need to<br />
consider in the future,’’ Mr Hart says.<br />
‘‘As the discussion evolves, things will<br />
become clearer how this might work in<br />
the future, but for now we have to do the<br />
best valuation we can and make<br />
decisions on acasebycase basis<br />
alongside communities and the<br />
appropriate agencies.’’<br />
Legislation such as the Climate<br />
Change Adaptation Act and the revised<br />
Resource Management Act should<br />
provide some clarity in time, he says.<br />
‘‘It’s adifficult conversation to have.<br />
Someone who has just had their home<br />
flooded is faced with the anxiety of ‘is<br />
someone going to come along and tell me<br />
Ican’t live here any more’.’’<br />
When these issues arose after the May<br />
31 flood event the council sought advice<br />
from Land Information New Zealand,<br />
the Department of Conservation, the<br />
Department of Internal Affairs, the<br />
Insurance Council and the Ministry for<br />
the Environment.<br />
‘‘The indication we got was that this<br />
event wasn’t considered to be significant<br />
enough to trigger that and the insurance<br />
companies said there would still be<br />
insurance available following this<br />
event,’’ Mr Hart says.<br />
The prospect of climate change and<br />
sea level rise means ‘‘retreat scenarios’’<br />
may be triggered in future events. But<br />
Mr Hart says the experience of red<br />
zoning in Kaiapoi after the earthquakes<br />
shows these are complex decisions and<br />
‘‘the impact on people should not be<br />
understated’’.<br />
‘‘As Simon Markham stated from the<br />
Kaiapoi experience, the focus has to be<br />
the people.<br />
‘‘What is in the best interests of the<br />
people who reside in those locations?<br />
That has to be the starting point.<br />
‘‘It’s such asignificant thing to move a<br />
community who have been through a<br />
significant event. It’s one thing to say<br />
‘we’ve got afinancial package’, but<br />
people have neighbours and support<br />
networks, workplaces and routines and<br />
all those other things that are part of<br />
people’s lives.’’<br />
The experience of the earthquakes<br />
and the May 31 flood event has shown<br />
that while the event itself may not cause<br />
significant harm to people, ‘‘the harm<br />
can happen during the recovery’’ to<br />
mental wellbeing due to the ongoing<br />
dealings with agencies and insurance,<br />
Mr Hart says. ‘‘It needs to be aholistic<br />
approach and not just the handing over<br />
of acheque to rebuild ahouse.’’<br />

Rewriting disaster management in Waimak<br />
5<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Multiple natural disasters in recent<br />
yearsmay cause arethinkofhow the<br />
WaimakaririDistrict Council<br />
managesdisasterrecovery.<br />
Afterleading the council’s May 31<br />
floodrecovery efforts,and responding<br />
to Covid19 lockdownsand storm<br />
events, recovery managerSimon Hart<br />
has proposed the council rewrite its<br />
recovery plan,whichwas written in<br />
2002.<br />
The review would also consider<br />
lessonsfrom the district’s recovery<br />
from the 2010 and 2011earthquakes,<br />
when strategy and engagement<br />
manager Simon Markham was<br />
recovery manager.<br />
‘‘Theplan we have is fundamentally<br />
OK, it covers all the normal aspects of<br />
recovery and it was referred to<br />
initially afterthe earthquakesand<br />
afterthe floodevent.<br />
‘‘It refers to CivilDefence recovery<br />
options and it takes you through how<br />
to set up variousstructures.<br />
‘‘Butwehavelearned alot and<br />
gathered amountain of material in<br />
recovery documentsover the last 10<br />
years.’’<br />
The earthquakeexperience<br />
provided lessonsonscaleand<br />
duration, which proved to be greater<br />
than anticipated, and gave the council<br />
the opportunity to thinkabout ‘‘how<br />
recovery happens’’.<br />
The Covid19 experience, on top of<br />
the earthquake recovery, has raised<br />
the importance of considering how<br />
people areimpacted, what agencies<br />
are likely to be involved and ‘‘how do<br />
we look aftersocialwellbeing?’’, Mr<br />
Hart says.<br />
‘‘We stillhave adepthofknowledge<br />
with Simon Markhamand other senior<br />
managers who worked through the<br />
earthquakerecovery, so while that<br />
knowledge is still herewewant to<br />
capture those learnings.<br />
‘‘If Simon Markham and Iaren’t<br />
aroundwhen the nextbig event<br />
happens, we want to leave something<br />
for the next recoverymanager so<br />
they’re not having to trawlthrough<br />
mountains of documents to findwhat<br />
they need.<br />
‘‘SimonMarkham has created<br />
documents which havebeen<br />
implemented aroundthe worldfrom<br />
the experience of the earthquake<br />
recovery in Kaiapoi, so we willlook to<br />
includethat in the recoveryplan,<br />
rather thanjust having aset of<br />
documents.’’<br />
The reviewwouldalso consider the<br />
National Emergency Management<br />
Agency’s ‘‘director’sguidelines’’,<br />
which incorporate government<br />
legislation.<br />
Mr Hartsays the important thing for<br />
arecoverymanager to rememberis<br />
‘‘that the nature of recovery is<br />
continually evolving’’.<br />
‘‘What you write up in the firstweek<br />
as your priorities are likelytobe<br />
significantly different by weeks four<br />
and five.<br />
‘‘What wassignificantinweek one<br />
may be resolved very quickly, but then<br />
there’sthings like wellbeing,<br />
underground infrastructure and rural<br />
lifestyleblocks (as in the flood), which<br />
may not be immediateemergency<br />
situations, but become more<br />
important as the recoveryprogresses.<br />
‘‘Your underlying arrangements and<br />
the actualtasks will be continually<br />
evolving, so you needtohave a<br />
recovery plan which is agile.’’<br />
Under the recoverymanager, the<br />
counciltypically callsonother<br />
‘‘pillars of recovery’’ or expertise as<br />
needed,such as economic,community<br />
Simon Hart<br />
and social, rural sector, infrastructure<br />
and natural environmentsrecovery.<br />
For economic recovery expertise,<br />

OPINION<br />
6 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> 28, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Around the electorate with<br />
STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA<br />
Electoral law review<br />
Labour Minister KrisFaafoi’s decision<br />
earlier this month to commissionareview<br />
of electoral law is franklyabsurd for two<br />
reasons.<br />
The first is that New Zealand is<br />
currently battling through restrictions,<br />
businesses throughout thecountry are<br />
beingstarvedofincome, people are locked<br />
up in their homes, the immigration system<br />
is amess and the New Zealand economyis<br />
losing $1 billion aweek.<br />
But despite this, the Minister is more<br />
interested in electoral law changes than<br />
the pressing issues at hand.<br />
Secondly, the Justice Select Committee<br />
in Parliament,whichhas opposition<br />
members on it, is already undertaking an<br />
inquiry into the 2020 General Election<br />
alongwith the 2019local body elections.<br />
So the question is, why would Minister<br />
Faafoi want to spend more taxpayerfunds<br />
on asecond review? What is the real<br />
reason this was suddenly announced?<br />
It’s adistraction. When the Government<br />
is in trouble it diverts attention any way it<br />
can.<br />
In Minister Faafoi’s review, it promises<br />
‘crossparty engagement and participation’<br />
but it really needs to promiseNew<br />
Zealanders therewill be no law changes<br />
without agreement fromotherpartiesin<br />
Parliament. Istrongly believe that the<br />
votingage shouldbekept at 18. Thatis<br />
when most peoplebecomeindependent,<br />
finishschool, move out of homeand go to<br />
university or seek fulltimeemployment.<br />
It makes logicalsense then,tohave the<br />
votingage at apoint where peoplemake<br />
this transition.But regardless of what I<br />
think,any changestothe voting age,term<br />
limits, or even the MMP threshold, should<br />
all go to referendum.<br />
The Government has ahabitofdoing<br />
thingsbystealth, like the He Puapua<br />
reportand Three Waters, but they won’t<br />
get away withthis. Our democracyisfar<br />
too important for any single political party<br />
with aParliamentary majority to be<br />
tinkering with.Infact, whatshould be of<br />
concern forNew Zealanders, is that the<br />
current Government is abletorush<br />
through legislation underthe guiseof<br />
urgency using theirsheer weight of<br />
numbers without due consideration.<br />
This can onlylead to bad outcomes and<br />
reinforcesthe old adage that ‘power tends<br />
to corrupt, and absolutepower corrupts<br />
absolutely’. This applies no matter the<br />
political persuasion.<br />
Iamcertainly opentodiscussing change<br />
to electorallaw, and in fact,welcome any<br />
engagementonthe issue.<br />

Vaccination the key<br />
Getting aroundthe districtIcan feel the<br />
tension.<br />
And it’sall Covid uncertainty.<br />
Deltaiscomingand we all knowit.<br />
And as Iwrite this for the papers<br />
deadline, aBlenheim case is<br />
announced.<br />
The Governmentistelling us moreof<br />
what theyare going to do, and the key is<br />
gettingvaccinated.<br />
The 90% target is not goingtobeeasy.<br />
And it needs to be aminimum, not the<br />
finalgoal.<br />
Kaikouramade greatprogress –thank<br />
you to the Health Centreteam and all<br />
thosesupporting them.<br />
Now its even more importanttoget as<br />
many of the rest across the line.<br />
Iget it that it’sachoice.<br />
But it’s achoice that has serious<br />
consequences.<br />
The main danger is Covid’s impact on<br />
people’s health, andthe pressure that<br />
will put on local and regional health<br />
services.<br />
And the lateststatistics show Delta’s<br />
not justfor the elderly,it’s also affecting<br />
20 to 40yearolds and children.<br />
Covidisimpacting on our businesses<br />
and jobs.<br />
Getting around, people are worried.<br />
It’sbeen tough as we havenot had<br />
visitorsafter lockdown like we did last<br />
year —many were fromAuckland.<br />
Now we are close to summer season<br />
and if we canget to 90%, our local<br />
businesseswill needtooperate vaccine<br />
certificates.<br />
Thoseofyou who have not got the jabs<br />
yet because you been busy, please make<br />
it top priority.<br />
And for thosewho have been<br />
hesitating pleaseget advice from the<br />
likesofthe medical centre people.<br />
The restrictions that will apply to the<br />
unvaccinated are becomingmuch<br />
clearer.<br />
Localevents are affected.<br />
The Trotting Club had to make ahard<br />
call.Good luck to The Hop whichis<br />
trying to run arestricted version<br />
complying withevent restrictions.<br />
Let visitors know about Crayfest over<br />
the next couple of weeks.Ispotted a<br />
couple of dishes that I’ve got my eye on.<br />
Maybecelebrate your vax with anight<br />
out. Let’s do our part. And let’ssupport<br />
each other.<br />

bounceback in retail spend<br />
followinglockdown, this time the<br />
bouncewas not as high due to<br />
ongoing Alert Level2restrictions,<br />
Mr Hart says.<br />
Retail spend ... Innovation, resilience and people supporting local, has<br />
kept the spend in the Waimakariri district on apart with the past two years.<br />
‘‘The levels in Delta have<br />
changed. Last year alot of people<br />
wentout and spent moneyonhome<br />
improvements, buyinganew car or<br />
going on anational holiday rather<br />
thangoing overseas.But Idon’t<br />
think we are seeingthe same post<br />
lockdownspikethis time,Ithink<br />
people arejust settlingback into<br />
their routines.’’<br />
The Waimakariri District<br />
Council has aCovid19 recovery<br />
plan, whichwas prepared<br />
following lastyear’s lockdown, but<br />
it has not been needed, Mr Hart<br />
says. ‘‘We were lookingatitand<br />
having conversationstosee if we<br />
needed to run that again, but the<br />
lockdownwas alot shorter and we<br />
got the sense from our<br />
conversations withEnterprise<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> that there didn’t<br />
PHOTO: FILE<br />
seemtobeaneed for any major<br />
recoveryeffortsfrom this end.’’<br />
While the localeconomy<br />
remains resilient, there is still<br />
uncertainty with severalmajor<br />
events includingthe Rangiora<br />
Showbeing cancelled. How the<br />
nextfew months playout will<br />
determine whether the recovery<br />
endures, Mr Hartsays.<br />
‘‘After Christmas we will<br />
probably get more of asense of<br />
how the country has responded,’’<br />
he says. ‘‘There is still alot of<br />
uncertainty, but Ithink New<br />
Zealanders are pretty good in that<br />
we would rather look aftereach<br />
other rather than excessively go<br />
out there and reclaimthe<br />
freedoms we had. But it will be<br />
interesting to see what the new<br />
normal lookslike.’’<br />
Petition gets<br />
broad backing<br />
Ambulance officers and<br />
frontline police are among<br />
those who have put their<br />
name to apetition calling<br />
for helpaddressingarise<br />
in mental healthcallouts.<br />
More than 800 people<br />
have signed apetition, set<br />
up by Waimakariri MP<br />
Matt Doocey and Rangiora<br />
resident Matt Hennessey,<br />
which calls on the<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> District Health<br />
Board (CDHB)toestablish<br />
acoresponse team.<br />
‘‘What is validating is<br />
seeing the broadspectrum<br />
of people backing this<br />
initiative,’’ Mr Doocey<br />
says.<br />
‘‘We’ve got emergency<br />
responders tellingusthis<br />
is desperatelyneeded for<br />
them, but we’ve also got<br />
familymembers, and<br />
peoplewith their own<br />
mentalhealth struggles,<br />
sayingthis could save<br />
lives.’’<br />
Mr Hennessey initially<br />
approached Mr Doocey<br />
abouthow the police could<br />
be better supported to deal<br />
with emergency callouts<br />
wherementalhealth<br />
issues were afactor.<br />
Subsequent meetings<br />
with Rural Area<br />
CommanderInspector<br />
PeterCooper revealed20<br />
per cent of <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
police callouts are for<br />
people in mentalhealth<br />
crisis, up almost one third<br />
between 2018and 2020.<br />
‘‘In<strong>Canterbury</strong> thereis<br />
growing concernthat<br />
police, who are not trained<br />
in psychology, are being<br />
heavily relied upon to<br />
providefrontline mental<br />
health support.’’<br />
Amental health coresponse<br />
servicewould see<br />
amentalhealth<br />
professional joining<br />
emergency respondersto<br />
attend to mental health<br />
emergency calls.<br />
Mr Hennessey says this<br />
would provide better<br />
support for people in<br />
distress,and ensure<br />
frontline responders were<br />
making best use of people,<br />
skills and resources.<br />
AtrialinWellington,<br />
launched in Marchlast<br />
yearand subsequently<br />
extended, proved the case<br />
for acoresponseteam<br />
approach.<br />
Police did agreatjob, but<br />
it was vitally important the<br />
mostvulnerable,intimes<br />
of crisis, got the best help<br />
frommentalhealth<br />
professionals, Mr Doocey<br />
says.<br />

Scooter training run<br />
Waimakaririresidents are being<br />
invited to take apink scooter for aspin<br />
this weekend.<br />
To mark the start of asix month trial<br />
of commercial hire escooters in the<br />
district, Flamingo Scooters is offering<br />
community training days this weekend<br />
for anyone wishes to learnhow to use<br />
the scooters or simply enjoyafree<br />
ride.<br />
Training dayswill be held in the<br />
council’s Rangiora service centrecar<br />
park on Saturdayfrom10am to 1pm<br />
and in Charles Street parkand ride<br />
site, next the Kaiapoi New World on<br />
Sundayfrom 10amto1pm.<br />
The trial will run from November<br />
until April next year,with escooters<br />
available for hire in Rangiora,<br />
Kaiapoi, Woodendand Pegasus.<br />
The escooters will be abletotravel<br />
most places withinthe natural town<br />
boundaries and betweenRangiora,<br />
Kaiapoi and Woodend usingthe<br />
Passchendaele Memorial Path and the<br />
RangioraWoodend Path.<br />
WaimakaririDistrictCouncil<br />
business and centres advisor Vanessa<br />
Thompson says the trial will allowthe<br />
council to explorethe impact of<br />
commercial hire escooters on public<br />
spacesand to see if there is aplace for<br />
this technology as an alternative<br />
transport solution.<br />
‘‘One potential benefit is that the<br />
successful uptake of escooters<br />
alongside other alternative transport<br />
options, could help alleviate pressure<br />
on town centrecar parking and reduce<br />
transport emissions,’’ she says.<br />
The SelwynDistrictCouncil held a<br />
similar trial in 2019which was deemed<br />
asuccess, with22,000 escooter trips<br />
taken throughoutthe trial’s duration<br />
and permitswere issued to bothLava<br />
and Lime to continue operating<br />
commercial hire escooters.<br />
In the pink ... Training runs are on offer this<br />
weekend on aFlamingo Scooter. PHOTO:FILE<br />

with localaccessibility, youthand<br />

with the inclusionofspeed<br />
restrictions and nogo zones in busy<br />

Book printing flaw awindfall<br />
Aminor printing flaw in abook run has<br />
provided alucky windfall for schools in<br />
Samoa, Fiji and Tonga.<br />
The flaw in Just Imagine: ADrawing<br />
BookFor Children,byWoodendartist and<br />
children’s book author, Joanne McDougall,<br />
meant the bookscouldnot be sold and<br />
weredestined for the landfill. But instead<br />
of that Joannecame up withamuch better<br />
idea.<br />
‘‘A bit of fluff on aprinting plate meant<br />
there was aminor flaw,and rather than<br />
dumping perfectly functional books in the<br />
landfill, Caxton Pressallowedmetoget rid<br />
of them,’’ she says. ‘‘Four hundred and fifty<br />
copieshave goneuptothe Pacific Islands,<br />
to be giventoschools or needy children,<br />
thanks to Rotary International.’’The books<br />
wereloaded intoRotary International<br />
containers destined for Samoa, Fijiand<br />
Tonga.<br />
‘‘Rotary International fill containers<br />
withmedical and educational supplies<br />
and transport them to places in need,’’<br />
Joanna says.‘‘Itisreally cool. Various local<br />
church groups and charities do muchthe<br />
samething on asmaller scale, thoughtheir<br />
focus is generally more local.There is a<br />
hugenetwork of people and organisations<br />
working behind the scenes to help people<br />

Support for rehomed greyhounds<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Acountrystyle high tea hosted by an<br />
adopted greyhound and his new forever<br />
family is being planned to raise funds<br />
for Greyhounds As Pets (GAP).<br />
The November fundraiser is the idea<br />
of West Eyreton’s Amanda Scott<br />
Richards.<br />
Her son Enzo (9) did his own<br />
fundraising for two years to raise the<br />
$380 he needed to adopt agreyhound,<br />
now called Zinzan, from GAP earlier<br />
this year.<br />
GAP marketing team leader Emelia<br />
Lake is thrilled with the initiative to<br />
raise funds for GAP’s national<br />
rehoming programme.<br />
``It is really amazing that Amanda<br />
has stepped up and offered to do this<br />
for GAP.<br />
‘‘Our amazing adoptees never cease<br />
to surprise us with their ongoing<br />
support and kindness.''<br />
The casual country style high tea is<br />
planned for November 21 between<br />
11am and 3pm in the West Eyreton Hall.<br />
The tea will feature arange of homebaked<br />
sweet and savoury treats, served<br />
with tea or coffee.<br />
There will also be live music and<br />
raffles, plus the chance to take part in a<br />
silent auction to purchase agreyhound<br />
painting by Swannanoa artist Ros Beck,<br />
who is also agreyhound owner and has<br />
donated one of her paintings for the<br />
fundraiser.<br />
The auction will be run via the GAP<br />
Facebook page for one week.<br />
It will start on Saturday, November<br />
13, and end aweek later, says Emelia.<br />
An email will be sent out to everyone<br />
who has purchased aticket to the high<br />
tea before the auction goes live to invite<br />
them to bid and also let them know that<br />
Best friends ... Enzo ScottRichards (9), of West Eyreton, and his sister Poppy (7), play<br />

Greyhounds as Pets (GAP) charity.<br />

if they win they can take the painting<br />
home on the day, as it will be displayed<br />
at the event.<br />
‘‘This will also open up bidding to<br />
other hound owners in <strong>Canterbury</strong>, and<br />
beyond, who are unable to attend the<br />
event, as we think this will give the<br />
painting the best chance to raise agreat<br />
amount of funds,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘It also means that we can share Ros's<br />
work with awider audience as Iwould<br />
say there may be afew hound owners<br />
who would be interested in purchasing<br />
her work if they don't win the auction.<br />
‘‘We have run lots of auctions on our<br />
Facebook page (https://www.facebook.<br />
com/GAPNZ) before and they are<br />
always asuccess.<br />
‘‘We are really looking forward to this<br />
one.’’<br />
The event will have two booking<br />
times, 11am and 1pm.<br />
Tickets are $25 per head, can be<br />
purchased at the GAP website<br />
greyhoundsaspets.org.nz and need to be<br />
bought in advance as only 100 will be<br />
sold and there will be no door sales on<br />
the day.<br />
The fundraiser is also an opportunity<br />
to celebrate GAP’s 15th birthday this<br />
year and the success the organisation<br />
has had since it was established,<br />
finding forever homes for more than<br />
3200 retired greyhounds.<br />

16 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> 28, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Award for local winery<br />
Waipara winery Muddy Water Wines<br />
has taken out the <strong>Canterbury</strong> region<br />
award in the <strong>Canterbury</strong> A&P<br />
Association’s annual wine<br />
competition.<br />
The winery’s Muddy Water<br />
Chardonnay 2018 was one of the<br />
regional winners in the Aotearoa<br />
Regional Wine Competition (formerly<br />
the New Zealand Aromatic Wine<br />
Competition).<br />
The annual competition is normally<br />
held in <strong>October</strong> ahead of the New<br />
Zealand Agricultural Show, which has<br />
been cancelled for the second year in a<br />
row.<br />
More than 240 of New Zealand’s best<br />
wines were judged by apanel of<br />
judges, chaired by Jim Harre of<br />
Waipara.<br />
Several changes were made to this<br />
year’s competition, including the<br />
requirement that at least 85 percent of<br />
the grapes are produced from asingle<br />
New Zealand region.<br />
‘‘The changes made to the show are<br />
reflective of the reemergence of the<br />
traditional concept of an A&P show, to<br />
showcase and highlight the best of<br />
produce,’’ Mr Harre says.<br />
‘‘Embracing this concept of a<br />
traditional A&P show, this year we<br />
invited all New Zealand regions to<br />
enter their wines and compete against<br />
each other with the criteria being, 85%<br />
of grapes need to come from aspecific<br />
region.<br />
‘‘We’re delighted at being able to<br />
showcase the different varieties each<br />
region excels in.’’<br />
Panel lead judge Terry Copeland<br />
says the diversity of wines, regions and<br />
styles is ‘‘a real testament to the depth<br />
of the New Zealand wine industry’’.<br />
Marlborough winery Spy Valley<br />
Wines took out the supreme champion<br />
wine in show ribbon with its Envoy<br />
Johnson Vineyard Riesling 2015.<br />
Mr Copeland described the<br />
champion wine as ‘‘a great example of<br />
arecognition of anew and emerging<br />
lighter alcohol style and bottle age<br />
when the majority of wines are<br />
consumed young’’.<br />
‘‘It shows areal maturity in our wine<br />
perception of when we should be<br />
drinking our wines.’’<br />

earlier this month.<br />
Clydesdales were meant to be afeature<br />
of the Ellesmere A&P Association’s 150th<br />
anniversary celebrations, until Covid19<br />
scuppered plans.<br />
Last year’s 150th show was cancelled<br />
due to Covid19 uncertainty, while this<br />
month’s second attempt ended up being<br />
an exhibitor only show spread over the<br />
three days to comply with Alert Level 2<br />
restrictions.<br />
Clydesdales were present at the<br />
original Ellesmere A&P Show in 1871,<br />
but it has several years since Clydesdale<br />
classes were competed for at the show,<br />
even though one of the association’s<br />
oldest cups was for Clydesdales.<br />
Clydesdale classes were judged on<br />

Asocial media campaign launched by<br />
DairyNZisstrongly encouraging rural<br />
communities, particularly farmers, to<br />

Covid19 vaccinations.<br />
New data releasedbythe University<br />
of Otago suggests vaccinations are<br />
around 10 percentlowerinrural areas,<br />
puttingour farms, rural communities<br />

‘‘Unfortunately, the biggest push for<br />

Scotching carbon myths<br />
By TIM CRONSHAW<br />
Scientists now have proof that scotches<br />
the widely held belief that intensive<br />
dairy farming adds more carbon to stony<br />
soils.<br />
Afiveyear multiagency study led by<br />
Landcare Research is based at dairy and<br />
dryland units at Lincoln University’s<br />
Ashley Dene Research and Development<br />
Station.<br />
Climatesmart agriculture principal<br />
researcher Dr David Whitehead said<br />
they wanted to see if they could help<br />
farmers reduce nitrogen losses and<br />
secure carbon stocks on stony, shallow<br />
soils.<br />
‘‘The impression out there is that if you<br />
start with adryland site and irrigate it<br />
and supply fertiliser then you will build<br />
up soil carbon. Of course, the crop grows<br />
much better and there’s alot more<br />
animal feed available, but we found if<br />
you don’t manage it carefully with<br />
grazing and cutting and irrigation, we<br />
can lose soil carbon from those sites.’’<br />
Higher carbon levels helped to retain<br />
water and nutrients and made soils more<br />
resilient to extreme climate events,<br />
while absorbing carbon helped reduce<br />
the warming effect, he said.<br />
Studies included monitoring irrigated<br />
and nonirrigated lucerne crops.<br />
Large lysimeters —deep columns<br />
containing undisturbed soils and crops —<br />
were used to capture water and nutrients<br />
draining out of the bottom.<br />
Sophisticated technology measured<br />
the carbon exchange.<br />
Dr Scott Graham said they found all the<br />
additional plant growth was being fed to<br />
animals either on site or elsewhere at the<br />
farm.<br />
‘‘The big takeaway message was that<br />
the sites were losing soil carbon, not<br />
gaining, under irrigation. So where<br />
everybody’s perception is that irrigation<br />
would increase soil carbon because you<br />
go from this dry and dusty place to this<br />
nice green paddock, it’s not actually the<br />
case.’’<br />
The dryland system was plus or minus<br />
one tonne of soil carbon per hectare per<br />
year, whereas the irrigated site was<br />
losing one to three tonnes per hectare<br />
per year. That was aresult of more<br />
intensive harvesting.<br />
Dr Graham said there were also extra<br />
nitrogen losses with irrigated lucerne<br />
crops.<br />
On the dryland site about 7kg30kg of<br />
nitrogen was being lost per hectare each<br />
year, compared with irrigated losses of<br />
40kg100kg.<br />
Abenefit of lucerne being grazed on<br />
site was that the cows left some carbon<br />
behind in the crop, whereas more was<br />
removed in cutandcarry crops, Dr<br />
Graham said.<br />
However, animal excrement led to<br />
three times more nitrogen leaching when<br />
it was grazed, so this was atradeoff, he<br />
Digging deep ... Scientists John Hunt (left)<br />

Development Station.<br />

said.<br />
Lateseason irrigation was also found<br />
to produce more nitrogen and carbon<br />
losses when soils were wetter. Scientists<br />
suggest this could be reduced by<br />
irrigation management, especially in late<br />
summer, with better weather forecasting<br />
and moisture sensors.<br />
Dr Whitehead said farmers took the<br />
messages on board at aworkshop that<br />
growing irrigated lucerne on an intensive<br />
farm wasn’t the best use of the land.<br />
The lucerne crops were replaced last<br />
year with agrass combination of<br />
perennial ryegrass, Italian ryegrass, red<br />
and white clover and plantain.<br />
Another part of the study looked at<br />
different species mixes grown in smaller<br />
lysimeters with cow urine added to see<br />
how much came out at the bottom.<br />
Winteractive plants such as oats and<br />
Italian ryegrass absorbed nitrogen in the<br />
critical autumn and winter period.<br />
Fodder beet in animal diets was also<br />
found to reduce leaching.<br />
Dr Whitehead said acombination of<br />
these could be useful for reducing losses.<br />
Plantain was also found to make cows<br />
urinate more often, resulting in lower<br />
amounts of nitrogen returned to soils and<br />
reduced leaching. Scientists hope next to<br />
explore if improved grazing management<br />
and the use of widely spaced trees in<br />
rolling hill country on sheep and beef<br />
farms will build up soil carbon and<br />
reduce losses.<br />

It also reinforces agriculture needs<br />
research and development and extension<br />

‘‘The approachendorsesHeWaka Eke<br />

‘‘It’spositive to see the Government<br />
recognising the importance of He Waka<br />

DairyNZ is callingonthe Government<br />
to start reporting on the warming effect of<br />
the differentgases, as well as emissions,<br />
which it saysaligns with international<br />
climate change science and would<br />
improve decisionmaking by being<br />
grounded in evidence.<br />
‘‘Addressing climatechange requires<br />
an economywide shift. The document<br />

Don’tcompromise<br />
your cow’sfertility<br />
Fertility is acomplex matterthat<br />
involves paying attention to body<br />
conditionscoring, heatdetection,<br />
genetics, AB technique,bull<br />
management,transition period, as well<br />
as cow health and nutrition.<br />
Thisappliesregardless of your<br />
farmingsystem.<br />
Getting cows off to thebestpossible<br />
start in early lactationiscriticalon<br />
every dairy farm. It is essentialtoensure<br />
thatthe nutrient intake of thecow is<br />
adequate to meether needs.Poor<br />
managementduring this important<br />
stage canleadtoreducedintakesand<br />
losses in body condition score (BCS),<br />
leading to fertility issues, which can<br />
haveasignificant impact on adairy<br />
farm’s bottom line.<br />
Alltech’sOnFarm Management<br />
Programme focuses on animal nutrition,<br />
particularly in threedifferentways,that<br />
willoptimize dairy cow fertility:<br />
1. Close the energygap<br />
In early lactation, cowswill inevitably<br />
be in anegativeenergy balance. This<br />
means they are notabletotakeinas<br />
muchenergy as they requirebecause<br />
their peakmilk yield occurs before their<br />
peakindry matterintake.Therefore,<br />
theywill lose acertain amountof<br />
condition. Managing cows appropriately<br />
can minimiseBCS loss during this<br />
period. Oneway to do this is by feeding<br />
adietthatwill encourage intake and<br />
provideadequateenergy.<br />
Often in early lactation, cows will<br />
benefit fromthe use of rumen protected<br />
fats thatcan encourage both fertilityand<br />
milk production when fed adequately.<br />
2. Maximiseimmunity and health<br />
Early lactation is typically aperiod of<br />
stress forthe cow,asthere are several<br />
physiological and nutritional changes<br />
duringthistime. It is criticaltoensure<br />
thatcows haveanoptimal immune<br />
status duringearly lactation to<br />
maximize fertility.<br />
Trace minerals, such as selenium,<br />
copper and zinc play akey rolein<br />
maintaining ahealthyimmune system;<br />
if there is adeficiencyineither, the<br />
possibility of anoestrus becomes more<br />
likely.<br />
Research hasproven that feeding<br />
Bioplex®and SelPlex®,anorganic<br />
formofminerals and selenium from<br />
Alltech, leadstothese minerals being<br />
betterabsorbed,stored andutilised by<br />
the animal.<br />
3. Lookafter therumen<br />
Do youwant<br />
more from less?<br />
• Betterabsorption, less<br />
excretion<br />
• Optimise animal health<br />
and performance<br />
• Aids fertility and profitability<br />

Therumenisthe engine that drives<br />
thecow. The keytogetting morefrom<br />
feed is to ensurethat the rumenis<br />
working as efficiently as possible.<br />
Therumenisnot designed forabrupt<br />
changes.<br />
If turned out abruptly,itis likelythat<br />
thecow’sintake will not be enoughto<br />
meet her energyrequirements.This will<br />
have anegativeimpact on herBCS.The<br />
increase in starch and sugarlevels in<br />

FARM FOCUS ADVERTORIAL<br />
24 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>October</strong> 28, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Putting Kiwi farmers in the driving seat<br />
Back in 1981, three Wairarapa<br />
farmers decided to create a<br />
system for farmers to improve<br />
the way they manage their<br />
farming business.<br />
At that time, recordkeeping<br />
was very much about looking<br />
back, using accounting<br />
methodology.<br />
The company founders<br />
wanted to be able to look ahead,<br />
to plan for the next season.<br />
This radical approach proved<br />
to be highly successful.<br />
Forty years later this<br />
business, now known as Farm<br />
Focus, is still going strong.<br />
Key to the company’s success,<br />
is that its specialised software<br />
meets farmers’ specific<br />
management accounting<br />
requirements, but also makes it<br />
easy to transfer transactions<br />
into taxfocused accounting<br />
systems used by accountants.<br />
Chief executive Brian Eccles<br />
has been involved with the<br />
company from the early days,<br />
and says that while software<br />
has changed massively over the<br />
40 years, the successful formula<br />
established all those years ago<br />
still holds true.<br />
Managing cashflow through<br />
great planning was important<br />
then and continues to be vital.<br />
‘‘Running afarm is full of<br />
uncertainty,’’ says Brian. ‘‘That<br />
can come from weather, pricing<br />
changes or awide range of on<br />
and off farm regulations.<br />
‘‘Plans help you manage<br />
adversity because you can<br />
quickly pivot when the plan<br />
isn’t quite working.’’<br />
Technology is constantly<br />
evolving and the company<br />
continues to invest in major<br />
upgrades to ensure the product<br />
is relevant in the modern<br />
world.<br />
It is currently supporting<br />
customers to move from its<br />
previous application,<br />
Cashmanager RURAL, to its<br />
new cloudbased application,<br />
Farm Focus.<br />
‘‘Not everyone loves change’’<br />
says Brian,‘‘but once customers<br />
begin to see the value of<br />
investing in the new they never<br />
look back.’’<br />
Customers moving across to<br />
the new platform, such as<br />
Hawkes Bay farmer Caroline<br />
Smith, notice the<br />
improvements.<br />
“Cashmanager RURAL was a<br />
great package in its day but<br />
farming practices and<br />
requirements have changed<br />
greatly over the years.<br />
‘‘Focus’s automated<br />
technology makes budgeting<br />
much easier which has<br />
definitely helped cut down time<br />
spent in the office.’’<br />
Caroline says the ability to<br />
Farm Focus ... Brian Eccles is keen to support kiwi farmers.<br />
budget three or four years<br />
ahead has been especially<br />
helpful during Covid and<br />
drought events.<br />
‘‘It’s way easier to look ahead.<br />
It has given us confidence in<br />
our planning and shows we can<br />
weather the storm’’<br />
Brian says that while the<br />
world is full of generic<br />
accounting systems designed<br />
for city businesses, asystem<br />
like Farm Focus, uniquely<br />
designed to meet the special<br />
needs of farmers, is extremely<br />
rare.<br />
‘‘What might be ideal for an<br />
accountant might be entirely<br />
unsuitable for afarmer.<br />
Software like ours that can<br />
drive improved management<br />
can increase revenue<br />
massively. Potential savings in<br />
accountancy costs are minor by<br />
comparison’’ says Brian.<br />
In addition to marking 40<br />

years in business this year,<br />
Farm Focus is also celebrating<br />
its recent win in the Cyber Gold<br />
category at the Wellington Gold<br />
Awards.<br />
‘‘This award really belongs to<br />
our customers as we wouldn’t<br />
be where we are without their<br />
support. Helping New Zealand<br />
farmers to stay at the top of<br />
their game and retain their<br />
number one spot in the world is<br />
what drives us!’’ he says.<br />

Members of Kaiapoi’s CureBoating Club<br />
say theirnew premises provide an<br />
amazing facilityfor the Waimakariri<br />
community.<br />
The new clubrooms, at 136 RavenQuay,<br />
alongside the KaiapoiRiver, also havethe<br />
best water views in Kaiapoi and have<br />
provided the club with an opportunity to<br />
expandits masters rowing squad.<br />
With this in mind the club recently held<br />
atwoday ‘‘Rego Row’’ programme to<br />
showcase their facilities to new rowers<br />
and attractnew members.<br />
The ‘‘RegoRow’’ sessions provided an<br />
introduction to the club and information<br />
on rowing options in the districtfrom<br />
rowingfor fitnesstorowing competitively.<br />
The club’s masters coordinator,<br />
Catherine Kappelle, of Kaiapoi, said the<br />
programmewas for adultrowerslooking<br />
to improve their rowing skills and others<br />
who may not have been involvedinthe<br />
sport for sometime but were keen to start<br />
rowing regularlyagain.<br />
‘‘Not everyone who wants to learn to<br />
row is interestedincompetition,’’<br />
Catherine said.<br />
‘‘As aclub we are interestedin<br />
accommodating awhole rangeofrowers.’’<br />
The ‘‘Rego Row’’ sessions were held on<br />
two Saturdays this month and led by the<br />
club’s master rowers, starting with time<br />
on the indoor rowing ergometers followed<br />
by outdoorrowing practice in the boatson<br />
the KaiapoiRiver.<br />
‘‘Rowing is agood way of keeping fit,’’<br />
Catherine said.<br />
However, competitive rowingrequires<br />
ahigh level of commitment, with training<br />
on the water up to fiveorsix days aweek<br />
near the peakofthe seasonand regular<br />
trips away to regattas.<br />

where they can build, and what kind of activities<br />
they can undertake.<br />
With the Waimakariri being one of New Zealand’s<br />
fastest growing areas, up to 15,000 houses may<br />
be needed to accommodate our population which<br />
will near 100,000 over the next 30 years.<br />

ABOUT THE<br />
DRAFT DISTRICT<br />
PARKING STRATEGY<br />
In arecent parking survey, our community<br />
told uswhat they saw asthe key parking<br />
issues for Waimakariri.<br />
Respondents wanted it to be easier tofind parks<br />
in town centres and have options for parking<br />
longer than two hours. They wanted parking<br />
to remain affordable, while also supporting<br />
alternative transport options that could reduce<br />
the need for private vehicles.<br />
We’ve now produced adra District Parking<br />
Strategy which plans for the future parking<br />
needs of our growing District and wewant<br />
