Nicola puts much of her successand

passion for thesport down to her

apprenticeshipwithher dad, Graeme,

‘‘Ihavebeen gundog triallingfor pretty

much my whole life, starting off in dad’s

‘‘Winning the championship is very

cool, andIfeelveryprivileged forFern to

‘‘We heldoff for as long as we could,

However, with the eventdate looming

and of course the sudden news of Covid

19 returning to the South Island, it was

no longer responsible to host alarge

indoor gathering, Mrs Warwick says.

Despite the uncertain times, Mr

Ditmer, who is alsoBayleysNorth

Canterbury manager, says most local

business owners appear to be ‘‘pretty

upbeat and positive’’.

‘‘At Bayleys we’ve justhad arecord

it’s atough market, we are doing well.

‘‘People are not spending money on

‘‘There are certainly some businesses

Mr Pinkham says Kaiapoi businesses

seem to be doing ‘‘not too bad’’under

Waipara vineyards face tough times

By SHELLEY TOPP

Waipara Valley wines are riding the wave

of international popularity but despite this

the region’s winemakers are facingtough

times.

‘‘The combination of Covid19 lockdown

restrictions and the effects of lastyear’s

frosts, whichwipedout whole blocksof

grapesatsome vineyards, is hurting all the

vineyards,’’ saysThomas Family Wines

marketing manager Nik Mavromatis.

‘‘Times are tough to be honest,’’hesays.

Although customers are returning to the

cellardoors, the extended lockdown in

Auckland has seenafalloffindemand for

wine, particularly from highend hotels

and restaurants.

‘‘International export markets the world

over are still strugglingwith lockdowns

and restrictions. Sometimes it is easy here

(in New Zealand) to forget how bad it has

been around other parts of the world,’he

says.

Kiwi winelovers canhelp Waipara

winegrowers by tryinganew winefrom the

regionthis summer, and recommendingit

to friends.

``We have great wine coming out of our

region. Call intoone of the wineries or pop

into agood local retailer and ask about

some localwines.

‘‘We sure wouldall appreciateit,’’Nik

says.

AfrostonSeptember 30 last year

adversely affected this year’s supplyof

North Canterbury wine,with grape

tonnage dropping 26 per cent on the

previousyear.

‘‘Some people lost whole blocks, others

onlysustained partial damage,’’ Mikesays.

In abig frost, primary grapevine buds

and shoots can be damaged or even killed.

However, the grapevine is incredibly

resilient and can pushsecondary shoots in

the same season, but the yieldoff these

secondary shoots will be reduced.

‘‘We are just farmers like all othersso

we are very climate vulnerable,’’ Mike

says. ‘‘Frost, hail, too muchrain, not

Forced reform angers mayors

By ROBYN BRISTOW

Forcing water reforms on North

Canterbury communities has angered

localmayors.

The MayorsofWaimakariri, Hurunui

and Kaikoura, say the Government has

ignored feedback from their residents on

the Three Waters Reform,and are

disappointed it is forging aheadwith

legislation that will makeitmandatory for

councils nationwide to transfercontrol of

theirthree waters infrastructure.

This is despite an option to optout being

announced early in the reformprocess,

and calls for the Governmenttopause, and

reflect on the feedback from councils up

and down the country.

Waimakariri Mayor DanGordonand

Hurunui MayorMarie Blacksay they are

bitterlydisappointedwith the

announcement by the MinisterofLocal

GovernmentNanaiaMahuta that the

reforms willbemandatory.

This is despite bluntand lengthy

submissions to her expressing their

opposition.

KaikouraMayor Craig Mackle says her

announcement is ‘‘unbelievable’’ and is

‘‘much, muchbiggerthan the threewaters,

it goesback to democracy’’.

Mr Gordon saysGovernment has

concededtowork with local government to

ensure there is adequate governance,

representation and accountability, but he

is ‘‘exceptionally’’ disappointed at the

mandatorynature of the reform,and the

lack of informationhis council has

received,despiteaformal request for

more information.

‘‘This is especially so as all councils

entered into this reform process on the

understanding that this was achoice,’’ he

says.

“Our analysis showed the argument for

change for our community from the

Governmentisflawed,and Iamupset and

extremely concerned that this proposal is

being forced on us.

‘‘We received avery clear message that

95 percent of respondents to our

community survey told the councilthat

they wanted us to retainlocal decision

making,control and influenceofour

assets.’’

Mr Gordonsays the councilhad

approached the review of Three Watersin

good faith and hopedthe Government

would showsimilar goodfaith, respecting

the decision of themajority of councilsto

optout of the reform.

‘‘We hoped they would at leastpress

pause to allow more timetofullyconsider

the proposal based on the feedback from

local government.

“Throughout thisprocessthe council

always maintainedthat quality drinking

water and better environmental outcomes

are essentialand we wereopen to change.

Where we disagreed was withthe fixed

view on the solution.Our residents also

didn’t support this fixed view and willbe

angry to hear this is beingforced on them.’’

Mrs Black saysthe council engaged with

the government on its proposed Three

Waters Reform Programme on the basis

that any outcomes from the process would

be voluntary and all councilswouldhave

the opportunity to opt out of any proposed

reform.

Councillors and councilofficers

undertook arobustinformal public

consultation process togaugepublic

opiniononthe proposed reforms.

‘‘Therewas aresoundingnotohanding

over thethree watersassets to

government.’’

This flew in the face of previous

assurancesgiven by the Minister that the

processwouldbevoluntary.

‘‘This is not how local democracy

works,’’ says Mrs Black.

‘‘Thegovernmenthas not honoured this

‘‘We find ourselves in asituation where

we havebeen removed from ademocratic

decision making process.’’

Mr Macklesays nobodyhas spoken

directly to his council.

‘‘We havea$57 millionassetand they’re

saying we need to spend $280milliononit,

but they can’t explainit.

‘‘It’s not good that you can justdothat

without without answering questions. I’ve

asked simple questions severaltimes and

they’ve never been answered.’’

While he acknowledges reform is

needed, Mr Mackle suspects something

moresinisterisathand and wonders if the

Three Waters reform is justthe beginning.

‘‘It’s amalgamationbystealth,’’ he says.

‘‘This is biggerthan the Three Waters

reform and Ihave grave concerns forthe

future of local democracy and democracy

in general in New Zealand.’’

Taking away Three Waters assets will

potentially make many councils, including

Kaikoura unviable,hesays.

‘‘They are taking away our biggest asset,

so it cuts our ability to borrow and it means

you cannottake on any major building

projects. Majorprojectsneed to be intergenerational

so the costs are shared over

the generations who will benefitfrom

them, so you need to have the ability to

borrow.’’

On the otherhand,MrMackle wonders

if the government’s plan is to ‘‘overinflate’’the

value of the country’s Three

Waters infrastructure so it candoubleits

borrowing capability.

Feedback ignored

The Governments decision to force

Three Waters Reform on to councils and

legislate the transferofdrinking water,

wastewater and stormwater

infrastructure assets from67Councils to

four large independent entities is

exceedingly disappointing. We have

absolutely no say.

This decision ignores the feedback

from our community, as wellasthe

overwhelming majority of councils in

New Zealand that disagreewith the

reform.

Throughout the process the

Government had afixed view that

centralisation was the solution and it is

clear from last week that this view was

never likely to alter.

The advice from the Ministerwas that

we would not need to consult with our

community as all they were seeking in

the past eight week period was feedback

on the four entitybased model and

there would be the opportunity to

consultour community after this time.

We were also assured at the startofthe

processthat there would be the ability

for councilstooptout.That's now gone.

Throughoutthis process the council

alwaysmaintained that quality drinking

water and better environmental

outcomes are essential and we were

open to change. Where we disagreed

was the fixed view on the solution. I’m

pleasedwedid seek our community’s

opinionasitenabledthe Council to have

amandate to represent your viewsand

ninety five per cent of respondents told

the Council that they wanted to retain

local decision making, control and

influence of these assets. The Council

In that way, we are not only

supporting charities andlocal shops,

we are also helpingwith the problems

of climate change as fewer “things” are

being manufactured andflown around

the worldin planes using polluting

fuel.

Op shopping is fun to do and

treasures can be found, including

fabricand wool to make presents.

Happy sustainable Christmas.

Road resealing season soon

The approach of summer means the start of the resealing

season. This work will be starting soon, which involves

putting adown anew layer of chipseal. While the chipseal

is fresh and there may be some surplus chip on the road,

we would ask you to take it slow, and follow any temporary

speed limits, which will help protect the seal, other road

users and yourselves.

"A reminder of how

lucky we are to be able

to deliver these events

to showcase what

Hurunui has to offer."

Aword from your Mayor,

Marie Black.

It may be of no surprise to you that last week the government

declared its intent todeliver on an ‘all in’ approach tothe Three

Waters reform.

We always made it very clear our intention to formally consult with

our people about this reform. Our informal engagement process in

recent weeks was successful whereby wereceived ahigh volume

of responses. Very soon we will seek your feedback through a

formal public community consultation process, please look out for

this, as it is critical you submit your thoughts through this formal

process, even if you’ve already told us once.

On the lighter side of things –what afantastic celebration the

Hurunui Garden Festival was last week, a real credit to the

Committee who poured months into this four-day celebration.

Thank you to Gary Mitchell and the team for your commitment

and impeccable planning.

And of course, not to forget the Country Christmas Fete at

Amberley House and the Hanmer Springs Fete last week –they

were just wonderful, enjoyed by so many folk from all pockets of

our District, and areminder of how lucky weare to be able to

deliver these events toshowcase what Hurunui has to offer.

There really is an early summer feeling in the air, however, with

known cases of COVID-19 within Canterbury, the threat of this

nasty virus remains, and we all need toplay our part to manage

and control its effects.

Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa is home to the Conical Thrill Ride, NZ’s largest waterslide, 13.5

metres high. Half the energy required comes from aheat transfer unit using energy that isabi-product ofthe

electricity generator. Previously wasted methane gas from an old gas bore and athermal deep water bore

discovered during aredevelopment ofthe complex in 2006, isconverted into electricity for the generator.

Plan progressing

By DAVID HILL

The Kaikoura District

Council is ‘‘chipping away’’

at revising its District Plan,

despite the uncertainty of

government regulation.

While the government is

developing new legislation,

including reviewing the

Resource Management Act

(RMA), the Kaikoura

District Council is

proceeding with planned

hearings next week as it

looks to update the natural

hazards chapter in its

District Plan.

‘‘It really comes down to,

what do we keep moving

ahead with or what do we

put on hold,’’ Kaikoura

Mayor Craig Mackle says.

‘‘We have decided we are

going to keep chipping away

with what we know, but we

are aware that we could go

through this whole process

over the next two years and

the new RMA could change

things completely.’’

The council received a

report, Districtscale

landslide risk analysis of

debris inundation for the

Kaikoura District,atlast

week’s council meeting,

which will now be passed on

to the Hearing

Commissioners scheduled

to meet next Tuesday and

Wednesday, November 910.

The GNS report follows

an extensive process of

community consultation

into natural hazards, which

was triggered after the

November 2016 earthquake

significantly changed the

landscape in the district.

‘‘We know have alot of

data and knowledge we

didn’t have before, because

of the earthquake,’’ Mr

Mackle says.

In the report, the risk of

landslips are assessed with

risk thresholds based on the

occurrence of aone in

10,000 year event, which is

similar approach to that

used to determine red

zoning in the Port Hills

following the 2010 and 2011

earthquakes in

Christchurch.

Instead of red zoning, the

risk thresholds will

determine if aresource

consent is required.

‘‘Apart from the obvious,

it’s not an outright ‘you can’t

build there’,’’ Mr Mackle

says. ‘‘You might have to

build massive bunding or

sink massive pillars into the

ground, so it will be a

question of ‘how far are you

prepared to go to build

there’.’’

The report found that the

most likely cause of

landslips was heavy

rainfall, as this is more

frequent than major

earthquakes. ‘‘As we

anticipated, the areas

considered to be at risk of

landslips has significantly

reduced across the district

from when we began the

process,’’ Mr Mackle says.

Lease step forward for hot pools

The building of hot pools on

Kaikoura’s Esplanade is astep

closer, with the granting of a33year

lease.

The Kaikoura District Council

last week voted to grant Joseph and

Associates Ltd a33year lease on

the formerKaikoura Community

Poolsite, whichwill allow the

lesseetoinvestigatethe viability of

developing acommercial hot pool,

health and wellness facility. The

lease does not authorisethe

development of the site, with

Josephand Associates Ltd needing

to go through aresource consent

process.

Kaikoura Mayor Craig Mackle

says the granting of the lease

provides some certainty to allow

Josephand Associates Ltd to

further investigate the project and

begin the consentprocess,knowing

the land will stillbeavailable.

‘‘It’s only adrawing and an idea at

the moment, but if it does happen it

will be agood thing for the

community, if it pans out to the

conversations we are having with

them. It needstobecome something

that not only draws people in, but

will benefit the community

financially.’’The grantingofthe

lease follows aconsultation

process, with submissions generally

in supportofthe proposal.

Apicture framing business with panache

CameoFine Arts is notjust apicture

framing business.

Behind the doorsof10Cone Street,

in the heart of Rangiora, is atreasure

troveofcolourful gifts, souvenirs,

jewellery and more.

Kirsty Watson boughtthe business

in 2008. It was awellestablished

NorthCanterbury business thathad

been customframing for three

decades.

Kirsty has been apicture framer

for 20+ years,and has areal passion

for the industry.

UnderKirsty’s ownershipthe

business has shifted to larger,

brighterpremises across the road,

and introduced giftwarewhile still

retaining its core business of custom

framing.

CameoisNew Zealand’s only

manufacturerofhandcrafted oval,

oblong, cathedraland round frames.

Theseare produced fromAmerican

WhiteOak.

Convex glass can still be acquired

for someframes to replicate

heirlooms of past generations.

Quality workmanship in both

framing and manufacture of framesis

paramount in ensuring the highest

Kirsty is more than happy to advise

you on the right way to frameeach

Treasure trove ... Kirsty Watson at Cameo Fine Arts.

children’sart throughtovaluable

and sentimental items, withthe

latter requiring conservation or

museum quality framing.

Memorabilia is aspecialty of

Kirsty’s and hermotto is “if you can

fit it in yourcar, we can frame it”.

Some of themore memorable items

she has framed includeafull length

waterski,Sir EdmundHillary’s

pickaxe and a100yearold

christening gown.

One of her favouriteswas a

bloodied tshirt and stickfrom a

CoasttoCoast competitor who

wanted to remember the tumble.

“We framealot of needle works,

Kirsty can turn her hand to most

things, but her partnerJason is abig

After his own day job,hejoins

Kirsty and handmakes all of the oval

Everything that walks in the door

Annoying flies or wasp nests? -call Spiderban

As the daysget longer and

temperaturesrise, the timefor fly and

spidercontrolisupon us again.

For flies it seems to start whenyou

hear the lawn mowers out on a

Saturday morning, as piles of warm

rotting grass clippings are the ideal

place for maggots to become

establishedearly.

Then of course the fly numbers

increase,which increasesthe activity

of spiders.

The warmernorthwesterly winds

will bring shiny new webs from the

forests north of Christchurch, each

one with aspiderling attached,

drifting in the wind, looking for a

place to makehome.

The winds slowdown, or are

interrupted by the hills, dropping

them down and on to our homes.

That’swhere Spiderban North

Canterbury Ltd comesin.

Spiderban North Canterbury is

owned by Brian and RoseWalker and

offerspest control servicesall over

North Canterbury,including

Christchurch, Rangiora, Kaiapoi,

spiders, flies,ants, wasp nests and

silverfish.

‘‘We deal professionally with our

customers’ needs and treattheir

properties with the utmost respect

and care,’’ Brian says.

‘‘Ourtechnicians are well trained in

ordertogive thebest servicetoeach

Brianrealises there are quiteafew

people reluctant to havespiderand

fly proofing done on their property

because of bad past experiences, such

as runnybrown streaks on wallsand a

HANMER SPRINGS

24 North Canterbury News, November 4, 2021

Picnic space under the spotlight

The first step in providing picnickers

with more space in the Queen Mary

Hospital Historic reserve, while

enjoying the facilities at the Hanmer

Springs Thermal Pool and Spa (HSTPS),

has been approved.

The Hurunui District Council has

granted Ministerial consent to its chief

operations officer Dan Harris, to grant a

lease to HSTPS over 1000 square metres

of the reserve.

The council, under delegation from

the Minister of Conservation, is

required to give consent before the

administering body can grant the lease

in the reserve.

The council felt it could not justify

declining consent, as the proposed lease

meets the requirements under the

Reserves Act 1977.

HSTPS sought an extension to its

picnic area for five years, with two rights

of renewal of five years.

It already has ashort term lease for

part of the reserve adjacent to the pools.

This followed the opening of the

cascade pools and slide in November

2019, and concerns about the complex’s

existing picnic areas becoming

overcrowded as people came to enjoy

the expanded offering at the pools.

It identified aneed for more space to

accommodate customers particularly

during the summer months, and sought

the new lease for alonger timeframe.

During their previous lease, HSTPS

fenced the area with agreen wrought

iron fence consistent with the existing

HSTPS fence on the west boundary.

The fence is on the east side of the

Linden (lime) trees is far enough away

from the trees so it didn’t assist in

‘jumping the fence’.

Security cameras will also be installed

on the fence, which will remain if the

new lease is granted. The rental charged

will be amarket rental set by a

Picnic time ... The new water slide installed in 2019, prompted asearch for an enlarged

registered valuer.

The council publicly notified the

application with two submissions being

received —one in favour, and one

against. It was also discussed by the

Hanmer Springs Community Board.

The submitter against the proposed

lease considers the grounds would be

better utilised for wider community uses

such as markets, and community

gardens, and not exclusively for the

HSTPS.

The submitter also considered that

the HSTPS had plenty of picnicking area

within its own property.

The submitter in favour thought the

proposed lease for apicnic area would

add life to the area and additional

income for council.

No time has been given for adecision

on granting the lease, following the

council’s decision last week.

Track closures in HS forest

The Hanmer Heritage Forest is closed

temporarily for logging operations.

Rayonier Matariki Forests closed the

forest from Monday to clear up storm

damage and improve the safety for users.

All tracks are closed, except for:

•Dog Stream;

•Forest Amble/Sculpture Trail (no

MTBs);

•Fairy Trail between Brooke Dawson

and Tarndale Reserves.

Raynoir says the forest will be

reopened, and most tracks reinstated,

well in time for Christmas.

Poet to chop his mop

By SHELLEY TOPP

Waimakariri Libraries’ staff member

and poet Jason Clements has set aside

November 11 for anew look.

On that day Jason, who is known for his

trademark long hair and beard will have

it all chopped off to raise money for

Cancer Society North Canterbury.

Chop the Mop is part of acollaboration

between Waimakariri Libraries and

Cancer Society North Canterbury to

provide workshops for people with

cancer, and families affected by cancer.

For Jason, the libraries' learning

connections coordinator, it also holds a

deeply personal connection.

‘‘I have lost two fathers to cancer, and

cancer has cast along shadow on our

family tree. Iwant to do afundraiser to

help families and their loved ones who

are living with cancer,’’ he says.

‘‘It has been an honour to help the

participants with their writing, and it

feels like agood time to shave my hair to

support the vital work done by the

Cancer Society.’’

Chop the Mop is part of the Word

Christchurch Festival, with Waimakariri

Libraries assembling an allstar cast of

some of New Zealand’s leading poets for

the Rangiora event.

It will feature special guest poetry

readings by John Allison, Bernadette

Hall, Ciaran Fox, Doc Drumheller, Ben

Brown, Mally Hines, Stephanie

Waterfield, Wendy Campbell,

participants from the Cancer Society

North Canterbury Writers and Orators

Group, and local high school students.

“Bernadette has done so much for

literature in New Zealand, and we are

thrilled to have her involved,” Jason says.

“Ben is one of the best performance

poets in New Zealand, and if you have

never read, or heard his work, then this is

amustsee event.”

Cop the mop ... Jason Clements is set to

loose his locks next week.

Doc Drumheller, Jason’s pen name for

his poetry, and Ciaran Fox, who run the

Catalyst poetry events and literary

journal, have produced abooklet of

group.

All money raised from the sale of the

book at Chop the Mop and the koha from

entry to the event will be donated to the

Cancer Society North Canterbury which

has organised Rangiora barber, Tom ,

from Tom’s Chop Shop, in Good Street, to

chop Jason’s mop.

The event is being held in the Rangiora

Library, starting at 6.30pm and ending at

8pm with entry by koha.

Local boys need big brothers

By DAVID HILL

When making aNew Year’s Resolution

this summer, why not make one to

support alocal child.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of North

Canterbury manager Ellie Le Gros is

keen to hear from prospective volunteer

mentors, as her organisation looks to the

future after achallenging two years.

‘‘Christmas is coming and people might

be looking to give back or thinking about

what they might want to do next year and

we encourage them to consider whether

mentoring could be on the cards.’’

She says her organisation has survived

the last two years thanks to generous

community support, but has ashortage of

male mentors on its books as it looks to

meet agrowing demand.

‘‘There’s lots of boys who need safe

male role models. Boys often have only

female preschool and primary school

teachers and if they’re not involved in

extracurricula activities they may miss

out on having male role models.

‘‘You can be an amazing mum or

teacher, but you can’t be the male in their

lives.

‘‘Men often think it would be

complicated, like ‘I don’t do anything of

interest’. But it doesn’t need to be

complicated or hard, you just have to

spend some time with them.’’

While most of the mentor matches are

in Kaiapoi and Rangiora, the

organisation is in the process of setting

up acouple matches in Hanmer Springs.

‘‘It doesn’t have to be in Kaiapoi or

Rangiora, they can be anywhere in

Hurunui and Waimakariri,’’ Ellie says.

‘‘A lot of other social services stop once

they hit Rangiora, but we can go

wherever the mentors are.’’

Ellie says local businesses can support

an hour of their time to spend with a

child.

This could be amatch through the

commitment of one hour aweek during

school hours for aminimum of one year.

‘‘People can be frightened of the idea

of giving up their time for acommitment

of ayear, so this is another way people

can get involved and for their employer

to support us without having to make a

commitment,’’ she says.

It costs $1800 to create anew match,

HAY, BALEAGE &SILAGE

28 North Canterbury News, November 4, 2021

Gains made from pre-slaughter feeds

Giving bulls hay or silage

before sendingthem to

slaughter is not awaste of feed

itcan provide goodgains.

Different holdingconditions

preslaughter can affect bull

behaviour, meat quality and

carcassvalue,says Beef +

Lamb New Zealand (BLNZ).

It is knownthat mustering,

holdingand transporting cattle

before slaughter can be

stressful for animals, BLNZ

says.

Studiesinthe past have

helped confirm thatstress can

have anegativeeffecton

carcassweight, meat pH, meat

colour and can increase

bruising.

Reducing stresshelps

ensure the pH level in the meat

remainslow.

High pH meat tends to be

firm, dark, dry and less

suitable for chilled trade.

Previous research has

recommended farmers can

reduce preslaughter stress in

cattle and improve carcass

weightsand value by feeding

cattle while settling them in

the yard before transport,

gettingcattle used to the yard

environment and avoiding

dehydration.

Bulls heldonpasture are

more aggressive and sexually

active than bullsfed hay or

fasted during holding time.

This higher level of

interaction may increase the

risk of bruising.

Feedinghay can increase the

time spent eating, drinkingand

ruminatingbybulls.

Ruminating has acalming

effect on animals, making them

abletocope much better with

subsequent transport.

Feedinghay or silagetobulls

while off pasture for 12 to 24

hours beforecartage reduces

stress compared with fasted

cattle and thosetransported

directly from pasture.

Feedingsilage overnight (12

hours) before transport can

givecarcass weights11kg

heavier than bulls fastedfor

the same length of time.

Feedingsilage becomes

beneficial when holdingbulls

for more than 12 hours.

These benefitsare unlikely

to occur if the bulls are

unfamiliar witheach other.

Mixing unfamiliarbulls

New emissions tools

The Foundation for Arable Research

(FAR) has released agreenhouse gas

emissions calculator and aplanning

module for arable farmers.

With the simultaneous release of

these two tools, arable farmers have

everything they need to meet their

greenhouse gas reporting and

planning commitments at their

fingertips, FAR says.

Obligations around agricultural

greenhouse gas emissions

understanding and management are

being phased in via the He Waka Eke

Noa, industry /government

partnership, and arable, as well as

livestock, farms are expected to

comply.

The first step for all farm businesses

is to know their annual total onfarm

biological greenhouse gas emissions

(their ‘‘number’’) and to have awritten

plan to manage emissions.

Aquarter of New Zealand farm

businesses must know their number

and have aplan by the end of this year.

That expectation expands to all

farmers knowing their number by the

end of 2022 and all having awritten

plan by the end of 2024.

It’s abig ask, and it’s why FAR

developed the two newly released

tools, FAR’s Turi McFarlane says.

‘‘This is new territory and most

farmers won’t have much of an idea of

their number, or how to calculate it.

‘‘At FAR, we were determined to

make the process as easy as possible

for our growers which is why we

developed ECheck, aspreadsheetbased

greenhouse gas calculator and

the farm planning module.

‘‘ECheck and the greenhouse gas

module go handinhand and will allow

growers to meet their reporting and

planning obligations using existing

data and without great effort or

expense.’’

Mr McFarlane says anumber of

greenhouse gas emissions calculators

have been approved by He Waka Eke

Noa, but ECheck, developed by fellow

FAR researcher Dirk Wallace, is

unique in that it has been designed

entirely with the arable industry in

mind.

‘‘We needed asimple emissions

calculator for arable that allowed

growers to know their emissions

numbers with minimal inputs and

time,’’ Mr McFarlane says.

‘‘The result is ECheck, aDIY tool

that uses easytoaccess information

around farm size, fertiliser applied

and stocking units on and off, to

‘‘Once growers have identified their

number, they can move on to

completing their written management

plan using FAR’s Greenhouse Gas

Planning Module.’’

Mr McFarlane says anyone

acquainted with FAR’s existing farm

environment plan templates will find

the layout of the new greenhouse gas

module very familiar, and the new

module will form part of any larger

farm environment plan or integrated

farm plan.

As with the farm environment plan

template, the greenhouse gas module

leads growers through aprocess of

assessing risks and identifying

mitigations.

‘‘Once the risks and management

practices that contribute to emissions

and carbon storage onfarm have been

assessed, growers can move on to the

next steps identifying opportunities

for improvement, developing an action

plan and pulling together documents

to support the plan and provide

evidence that changes are happening.’’

ECheck and the Greenhouse Gas

Farm Planning Module, along with

written and video user guides, are

available on the FAR website far.org.

FARM FOCUS ADVERTORIAL

30 North Canterbury News, November 4, 2021

Putting Kiwi farmers in the driving seat

Back in 1981, three Wairarapa

farmers decided to create a

system for farmers to improve

the way they manage their

farming business.

At that time, recordkeeping

was very much about looking

back, using accounting

methodology.

The company founders

wanted to be able to look ahead,

to plan for the next season.

This radical approach proved

to be highly successful.

Forty years later this

business, now known as Farm

Focus, is still going strong.

Key to the company’s success,

is that its specialised software

meets farmers’ specific

management accounting

requirements, but also makes it

easy to transfer transactions

into taxfocused accounting

systems used by accountants.

Chief executive Brian Eccles

has been involved with the

company from the early days,

and says that while software

has changed massively over the

40 years, the successful formula

established all those years ago

still holds true.

Managing cashflow through

great planning was important

then and continues to be vital.

‘‘Running afarm is full of

uncertainty,’’ says Brian. ‘‘That

can come from weather, pricing

changes or awide range of on

and off farm regulations.

‘‘Plans help you manage

adversity because you can

quickly pivot when the plan

isn’t quite working.’’

Technology is constantly

evolving and the company

continues to invest in major

upgrades to ensure the product

is relevant in the modern

world.

It is currently supporting

customers to move from its

previous application,

Cashmanager RURAL, to its

new cloudbased application,

Farm Focus.

‘‘Not everyone loves change’’

says Brian,‘‘but once customers

begin to see the value of

investing in the new they never

look back.’’

Customers moving across to

the new platform, such as

Hawkes Bay farmer Caroline

Smith, notice the

improvements.

“Cashmanager RURAL was a

great package in its day but

farming practices and

requirements have changed

greatly over the years.

‘‘Focus’s automated

technology makes budgeting

much easier which has

definitely helped cut down time

spent in the office.’’

Caroline says the ability to

Farm Focus ... Brian Eccles is keen to support kiwi farmers.

budget three or four years

ahead has been especially

helpful during Covid and

drought events.

‘‘It’s way easier to look ahead.

It has given us confidence in

our planning and shows we can

weather the storm’’

Brian says that while the

world is full of generic

accounting systems designed

for city businesses, asystem

like Farm Focus, uniquely

designed to meet the special

needs of farmers, is extremely

rare.

‘‘What might be ideal for an

accountant might be entirely

unsuitable for afarmer.

Software like ours that can

drive improved management

can increase revenue

massively. Potential savings in

accountancy costs are minor by

comparison’’ says Brian.

In addition to marking 40

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

years in business this year,

Farm Focus is also celebrating

its recent win in the Cyber Gold

category at the Wellington Gold

Awards.

‘‘This award really belongs to

our customers as we wouldn’t

be where we are without their

support. Helping New Zealand

farmers to stay at the top of

their game and retain their

number one spot in the world is

what drives us!’’ he says.

Show Week without the public

By DAVID HILL

The CanterburyA&P Association is looking

to the future,asitpreparestohold ashow

without the public forthe second

successive year.

While the officialNew Zealand

Agricultural Show has become acasualty of

Covid19, the country’s first virtual cattle

showwill be heldaspart of afull weekof

events.

‘‘It’s fantastic and our goalwould be to

haveonline contests as an annual event,

running parallel to our normal show,’’ New

Zealand Agricultural Show general

manager TracyAhern says.

‘‘Itmay not be all the sections thatdoit,

but Ibelievethere’s an appetitefor

watching it online and it givesusanother

audiencewho wouldn’t otherwise be at the

show.

‘‘Itreally is achancetoshowcasethe

country’s best sheep, cattle or horses and

there’s no reason why we couldn’tattract

international competitors in thefuture.’’

Entriesclosed for the virtual cattle show

on Sunday (October31) with more than80

beefcattle from all aroundNew Zealand

Participantsnow have until5pm on

Friday, November12, to submit three

‘‘Normallyitwouldbemostlylocal

fromthe North Island it mightencourage

themtocome and compete at the actual

show, so it’s all very exciting,’’ Ms Ahern

says.

Showweek eventsatCanterbury

Agricultural Park in Wigraminclude the

judging of boer goats and dog trials on

Wednesday, November 10, withthe dog

trials continuing the next day alongside

dairy goat and shearing and woolhandling

competitions. On Show Day (November 12)

the shearing will continue, alongside

alpacas, pigs and sheep competitions.

The annual prime cattle saleand

competition was heldonTuesday

(November 2), alongside the young

auctioneers’ competition.

‘‘At the moment we can holdthe events in

bubbles of 100 people, but the worstcase

scenarioiswecould hold these eventsin

bubbles of 10,’’MsAhern says. ‘‘Wehave a

large arena and the carpark, so we have

the spacetospread out as much as we need

to.’’

The boys’and girls’ agricultural day is set

to return on Thursday,November 18, while

the annual Canterbury A&P Association

Elite Ram and Ewe Fair will be held on

Friday,November 26, where the mint lamb

competitionresults will be announced.

Having the officialshow cancelledhas

forced the association to have arethinkas

Role of trees needs rethink

The government’s acknowledgementthat

carbon policies will likelysee too much

forestry planted is good newsfor farmers,

Beef +Lamb New Zealand (BLNZ) says.

The Government has released a

discussion paper, Transitioning to alow

emissions and climate resilient future,

which aims to help shape New Zealand’s

emissions reduction plan.

‘‘We welcome the Government’s

recognition that fossil fuel emissions

must be reduced, rather than continually

offset, to ensure afair, equitable, and

efficient transition to alow emissions

economy,’’ BLNZchief executive Sam

McIvor says.

‘‘The discussion document indicates

any decision on changing the ETS

(Emission Trading Scheme) rules would

come by the end of 2022. We’re concerned

that’s not fast enoughgiven the scale and

pace of land conversion happening.

‘‘What we need is urgent action to

adjust the ETS to limit the amount of

carbon forestry offsets available to fossil

fuel emitters.

‘‘New Zealand is the only country with

aregulatory ETS thatcurrently allows

100 percent carbon forestry offsetting.’’

In the last year more planting of trees

has exceeded the recommended 25,000

hectares, viewed as sustainable by the

Climate Change Commission.

‘‘We are absolutely not antiforestry,

we’re concerned about carbononly

forestry,’’ Mr McIvor says.

‘‘Our sector believes there is abetter

solution, where much of New Zealand’s

requiredbudgets for sequestration from

forestry could come from the integration

of trees on sheep and beef farms, rather

than through conversion of whole farms

for carbonforestry and the significant

negative impacts on rural communities

and the economy.’’

Mr McIvor says the red meat sector is

committed to playing its part in

addressing climate change.

‘‘We have already made asignificant

contribution. Greenhouse gas emissions

from sheep and beef farming have

decreased by 30% in absolute terms since

1990, while production levels have

remained stable.

‘‘Overall, total onfarm methane

emissions have either been stable or

declining over the last two decades.

‘‘We are also further offsetting our

emissions through the native and exotic

trees on our farms.’’

Mr McIvor says there are arange of

initiatives under way to deliverfurther

emissions reductions, including the He

WakaEke Noa primary sector climate

change commitment and extension

activities to help farmers and growers

gain knowledge and resources to

measure, manage, and reduce emissions.

‘‘We note the document continues to

refertoemissions rather than warming,

whichiswhereleadinginternational

climate change science is heading.’’

CRICKET

Strong wins for Darfield and Cheviot

cementedtheir placesatthe top of country

cricket at the weekend, while Oxford

Rangiora and Lincoln remained rooted at

the bottom.

At MainPower Oval, the young and

talented CheviotMagpies dominated the

winless OxfordRangiora in round five of

the CRV Ambreed Country Premier One

Day 2021/22 competition on Saturday.

On abatterfriendly firstclass track,

Cheviot made the most of winning the toss,

racking up 237/4 in their allotted 45 overs.

After openers Ted Whelan and Harrison

Darling put on 50 for the first wicket,

Archie Redfern, who has been one of the

early season competition standouts,topscored

with an unbeaten 73 runs off 85

balls.

He was wellsupported by Harry

Fitzpatrick (42 off 42) before Angus Sidey

finished the innings with aquickfire 33 not

out.

Only young spin duo Jack Sail and

Nathan Cook had any joy with the ball for

OxfordRangiora, taking all four wickets

between them.

In reply, OxfordRangiora never really

threatened the total, losing steady wickets,

with David Fultonperforming his usual

middleorder mainstayand earning ahalf

century.

Sam Fleming smashed arapid 45 but

eventually his side fell to a52rundefeat,

with Redfern capping off afine day,

snaring four wickets.

Darfield dismantledadisappointing

Sefton by 127 runs at Darfield Domain after

scoring 214.

Tom Dempster topscored with 59, while

others contributed throughthe innings,

where Sefton tried eight bowlerswith

varying levels of success.

Jeff Jones was again the pick of the Seals

bowlers,grabbing three more wickets to

add to his impressive October tally.

Seftoncrumbled in the chase, with just

Girls take to the pitch

CRICKET

By ROBYN BRISTOW

The Rangiora Cricket Club has its first

ever girls team.

The club is the second oldestclub in

New Zealand, and while it has produced

some of Canterbury’s and New Zealand’s

most successful female cricketers, it has

never managed to get the numbers to

form an all girls team.

However, abig push by Barry van

Beurten, the Junior Girls Convenor, has

seen enough girls turn outtoform ateam.

It is playing inthe Christchurch Metro

competition, with halfthe games in

Disappointed with Forced Three

Waters Reform

Waimakariri District Mayor Dan Gordon says he’s

exceptionally disappointed the Government has forced

the Three Waters Reform proposal on communities

without adequatelytaking on feedback.

During the announcement the Government did

concede further work would be undertaken with

local government toensure there is adequate

governance, representation and accountability of

these organisations to the communities they serve.

Mayor Dan Gordon says despite this he’s

exceptionally disappointed with the forced decision.

“Our analysis showed the argument for change for

our community from the Government is flawed

and Iamupset and extremely concerned that this

proposal is being forced on us. We received avery

clear message that 95 percent of respondents to

our community survey told the Council that they

wanted us to retain local decision making, control

and influence of our assets.

“We approached this review in good faith and

hoped the Government would show similar good

faith and respect the decision of the majority of

councils to opt-out of the reform. We hoped they

would at least press pause to allow more time to

fully consider the proposal based on the feedback

from local government.

“Throughout this process the Council always

maintained that quality drinking water and better

environmental outcomes are essential and we

were open to change.

“The Council will continue todiscuss the

implications of the Governments decision and our

next steps.” says Mayor Gordon.

Awesome Day Enhancing Mudfish Habitat

It was all hands on spades as tamariki from

View Hill School and helpers planted 350 native

seedlings in an effort to enhance an endangered

Canterbury mudfish/kōwaro habitat.

Aplanting day was held at Kowhai Farm recently.

Owner Chris Thomas was joined by 64 children,

teachers, parent helpers, the Working Waters Trust,

Silverstream Reserve Volunteers, Waimakariri

Water Zone Committee, and Cr Niki Mealings from

the Oxford-Ohoka Community Board in what was

described as an “awesome day”.

Canterbury mudfish are classified by the

Department of Conservation as the second most

endangered native fish in New Zealand. In 2020

kōwaro were found living in the creek running

through the Thomas' farm.

Kōwaro live inwetlands and slow-moving

waterways and when streams dry out, they can

burrow into damp mud and survive for several

months until water returns. Since European

settlement, alot of their habitat has been drained.

Chris was keen to see the area enhanced, and

apartnership was formed with the Working

Waters Trust and View Hill School to carry out a

restoration project for the endangered fish.

“A highlight of the day was that everyone got

to see the local kōwaro in their natural habitat,

reinforcing the significance of the work to protect

the habitat”, says Niki.

The property owners worked closely with the

Working Waters Trust to develop aplan for

their project, who are acharitable organisation

who focus on biodiversity restoration projects

in Canterbury, Otago and Southland, aswell as

educational and advocacy projects.
