Property access<br />
sours relationship<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The Hurunuibased Rural Advocacy<br />
Network (RAN) saysthe relationship<br />
between the rural community and<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> (ECan), has<br />
taken amajorstep backwards.<br />
The group saysanumberof<br />
landowners have been subjected to<br />
forcedaccess by ECan staff underthe<br />
threatofpoliceescortand body cameras.<br />
‘‘These are respected farming families<br />
who had not broken any rules.<br />
‘‘Theyhad deniedaccess to ECan staff<br />
because of major issueswith the way that<br />
ECan operates,’’ says RAN.<br />
The issues, outlinedinastatement<br />
from RAN to the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
are:<br />
EvidenceofECan staff gathering,<br />
using and sharingprivate property<br />
informationunrelatedtothe purpose of<br />
their visit, withoutthe knowledge of the<br />
landowners and often to the detriment of<br />
the landowners.<br />
ECan staff being instructed by senior<br />
management to reportnon compliance<br />
issuesregardless if it was relatedtothe<br />
purpose of their visit or whether the staff<br />
were trainedincompliance. This<br />
directive was acontributing factor to<br />
some ECan staff quitting their jobs.<br />
Landowners feelingthey have been<br />
unfairly treatedand persecuted over<br />
complianceissues for manyyears.<br />
ECan undertaking mappingand<br />
regulatory zoningswithout consultation<br />
or aproper planning process. ECan<br />
recently lostHigh Court and Courtof<br />
Appeal cases over their flawedriverbed<br />
zonings and the wetland mappingwas<br />
withdrawn in part because landowners<br />
started denying access.<br />
RAN says acouple of years ago it<br />
collated ‘‘extensive evidence of<br />
landowners subject to unfair and<br />
inappropriate treatment by ECan’’.<br />
In ameetingwith the seniormanager<br />
of all field staffheadmittedthere was a<br />
culture problem within ECan,the group<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Heset about fixing the problems in<br />
ECanbut left the organisation shortly<br />
after.’’<br />
RAN claims ECanoperatesin‘‘a<br />
climate of fear’’.<br />
‘‘People in <strong>Canterbury</strong> are subject to a<br />
smotheringamount of compliance, much<br />
of it unworkable.<br />
‘‘Consent and planning processes have<br />
become so complex that the system is<br />
collapsing.<br />
‘‘Land use consents are on hold, farm<br />
plan audits are on hold.<br />
‘‘There is widespread loss of trust in<br />
ECan.<br />
‘‘However because of the climate of<br />
fear created by ECan, very few peopleare<br />
prepared to speak out,’’ the group saysin<br />
the statement.<br />
‘‘Over the past12months RAN has<br />
supported many landowners that have<br />
been subjecttoharrowing experiences<br />
with ECan.<br />
‘‘We are aware of some seriousmental<br />
wellbeingissuesresulting fromECan's<br />
actions and we are working alongside the<br />
RuralSupport Trust.<br />
‘‘RANurgedECan not to go ahead with<br />
the forced access becauseofthe welfare<br />
issues, howeverECan rejected our<br />
request.<br />
‘‘This places the field staff in adifficult<br />
and untenable position.<br />
‘‘RANurgesthat no nastycommentsbe<br />
directed at ECan staff and thatpeople<br />
should be respectful at all times.<br />
‘‘Theproblems lies withthe senior<br />
management of ECan who have<br />
consistently failed to address serious<br />
problems within their organisation.’’<br />
RAN says all it is seeking is afair and<br />
proper process, workable regulations,<br />
respect, and empathy for the people.<br />
RAN is collating evidence of where<br />
unfair or inappropriate actions by ECan<br />
are havingserious mental wellbeing<br />
impacts on people.<br />

ECan has toldthe <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong><br />
that on occasion, staffmust exercise<br />
their statutory authority when accessing<br />
properties to fulfillits regulatory<br />
responsibilities.<br />
‘‘Overthe pastthree monthsthis has<br />
occurred on asmallnumber of <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> farms,’’ says Nick Daniels,<br />
ECan general manager of field<br />
operations.<br />
He saysoccasionally landownerswill<br />
objecttostaff accessing property.<br />
‘‘In all cases, we seek to work with<br />
landowners to discuss their concerns and<br />
the purpose for the visit.Staff always<br />
carefullyconsider the needtoaccess<br />
private propertywhichneedstobe<br />
clearly justifiedunder the relevant<br />
legislation.’’<br />
Mr Danielssays since its creation in<br />
1991, ECanhas regulatory<br />
responsibilities under both the Resource<br />
Management Act and Biosecurity Act.<br />
‘‘BothActs provide mechanismsfor<br />
staff to enterprivate property to fulfil<br />
council responsibilities.’’<br />
Mr Danielssays eachyear ECan staff<br />
undertake thousands of propertyvisits to<br />
meet its regulatory responsibilities.<br />
‘‘In avery small number of cases<br />
landowners have raised objections to<br />
how thiswork is being carried out.’’<br />
‘‘Ifmembers of the public have<br />
concerns about how our staff are<br />
exercisingthese responsibilities, we<br />
welcome them to get in touch directly. In<br />
someinstances,members of the public<br />
are unaware of our responsibilities. In<br />
other instances, we can make<br />
improvements to how we carry out these<br />
responsibilities.’’<br />
Mr Daniels says ECan staff visit<br />
properties for severalreasons –<br />
sometimes at the request of landowners,<br />
and othertimes to help keep people,<br />
properties, and the environment safe.<br />
‘‘Wehave alegal requirement to<br />
monitor and report on things such as<br />
consent compliance, biosecurity risks,<br />
and respond to environmentalconcerns<br />
fromthe community. We also undertake<br />
thiswork to meetthe expectations of the<br />
community,asset out in the plans we<br />
develop with the community,’’ saysMr<br />
Daniels.<br />
‘‘Weaim to advise landownersofour<br />
intention prior to visiting, to ensure<br />
they’reaware of the reason for the visit.<br />
‘‘This is donevia telephone, mail, or<br />
email.’’<br />
Mr Daniels says he is not aware of any<br />
inappropriate or illegalsharing of<br />
information.<br />
‘‘Ifanyoneisconcerned about this,we<br />
encouragethem to get in touch so we can<br />
workthrough these concerns.’’<br />
He says it is goodpractice for staff to<br />
takerecords during apropertyvisit.<br />

their managers or otherappropriate<br />

Underpass option ruled out<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
An underpass has beenruled outunder<br />
State Highway One at thebusy Pukeko<br />
Junction at Leithfield.<br />
AWaka Kotahi (NewZealandTransport<br />
Agency) representative visiting Leithfield<br />
School, James Caygilltold pupilsduring a<br />
visit an underpass couldnot be installed<br />
because of the cost and highwater table.<br />
He saidthere werethree other options<br />
to makethe intersection safer —buildan<br />
overpass, leave the intersectionasitisbut<br />
make crossing it safer, or find another way<br />
to get to school—but WakaKotahi was not<br />
able to help with any of theseoptions at<br />
this time.<br />
The agency’s Christchurchbased<br />
director of regional relationships, James<br />
Caygill, was visiting the school with<br />
Hurunui District Mayor, Marie Black, and<br />
Hurunui District Council road safety coordinator,<br />
Dean Eades, last week, to meet<br />
with pupilswho wantanunderpass at the<br />
100kphsectionofStateHighwayOne so<br />
pupilsliving at LeithfieldBeach can cross<br />
the highwaysafelytogotoschool.<br />
They said they feltunsafe because of the<br />
‘‘busycarswhich would not stop,’’ and they<br />
wantedtomake the intersection safer for<br />
everyone in thecommunity. Their talk<br />
ended when they asked the visitors if it<br />
would take someone to die at the<br />
intersection before it was madesafer.<br />
Mrs Blacktold the children they had<br />
come to listen, and theirmessages were<br />
very powerful.<br />
Mr Caygill acknowledged Pukeko<br />
Junction was an extremelydangerous<br />
section of the highway but said there were<br />
more dangerousareas of the highway and,<br />
with alimited budget, funds had to be<br />
prioritised.<br />
He saidthe Governmentwas proposing<br />
to lower speed limits aroundschools in<br />
new legislation, but their school did not<br />
qualify becauseitwas too far away from<br />

Pukeko Junction intersection.<br />

Under the legislation the Government<br />
plans to make it easierfor local<br />
communities to set safe speed limits<br />
around schools to help children get to and<br />
fromschool safely, whichincludes making<br />
streetsoutside schools safer by requiring<br />
speed limitsaround urban schools to be<br />
reducedto30kph, or to amaximumof<br />
40kph where appropriate, and to a<br />
maximum of 60 km/h around rural schools.<br />
Mr Caygill advised the children to<br />
continue their fighttomake the Pukeko<br />
Junction intersection safer to cross.He<br />
encouraged them to get the community<br />
involved and lobbythe Minister of<br />
Education ChrisHipkins to change the<br />
rules around eligibility for school<br />
transport assistance to allow abus service<br />
at the school .<br />
‘‘The realityisthe safest way for you to<br />
get to school is by car or bus,’’ he said.<br />
Mr Caygill asked what pupils thought<br />
neededtohappen to make the intersection<br />
safer and he was quickly reminded of their<br />
earlier questionatthe beginningofthe<br />
meeting.<br />
‘‘A kid or someone needs to die. That is<br />
what it will taketoactually get something<br />
done,’’ one of the pupilssaid.<br />
‘‘Thatisavery sad answer,’’ Mr Caygill<br />
said. ‘‘Nobodywantsthat to happen.’’<br />
Using the nearby Kowai Track as an<br />
optionfor asafer journey to schoolwas<br />

After talking with Paul &Deb owners of Cactus Cars, Ifeel they’re<br />
really passionate about helping people. Deb said it’s about “putting<br />
people before dollars and really helping where you can” No<br />
questions and No judgements<br />
Paul told me, many vehicle owners appear to be unsure how to,<br />
when to or what to maintain on their cars or what the costs should<br />
be. Some saying there feeling more and more uncomfortable with<br />
the raising costs of servicing and WOF repairs.<br />
Paul said he seen many repair quotes recently, where the cost<br />
appears to be just getting out of control and too expensive for many<br />
people. Leaving some people with no choice but to drive unsafe &<br />
un-warranted cars and it’s just Not right. Paul said he feels many<br />
repairs just don’t need to cost asmall fortune.<br />
Paul, Deb & the team at Cactus Cars understand vehicle<br />
maintenance, have the latest equipment and diagnostic scanners<br />
to service &fix pretty much anything and have the experience to<br />
understand how to get the job done properly without having to<br />
charge asmall fortune.<br />

Academic year ends<br />
without ceremony<br />
As 2<strong>02</strong>1drawstoaclose,italso brings<br />
to the end the academic yearfor many<br />
of our students.<br />
The tradition for schoolsinour<br />
district is to hostanendofyear<br />
celebration ceremony.<br />
This year however, the guidelinesto<br />
managepublic gatheringshas<br />
curtailed the ability for schoolsto<br />
celebrate in the traditionalmanner.<br />
In the past it has been aprivilege to<br />
attendthese functions to recognise the<br />
educationalexcellence of the students.<br />
Iwould like to extend to all school<br />
leavers good wishes as you embark on<br />
the next steps of your educational<br />
journey. Stepping into anew<br />
environment will bringamixture of<br />
excitement and tension.<br />
However both are appropriateasyou<br />
followyour dreams and contribute to<br />
your successful life journey.<br />
Thank you to all educators. Iam<br />
grateful for your dedication and<br />
determination to ensure our young<br />
minds are curiousand well equipped<br />
for theirfutures.<br />
Over the weekend Ihad the privilege<br />
to attend the Waikari Hospital 100 year<br />
celebration afternoon tea.<br />
Dr CharlesLittle, whose statute<br />
standsinfront of the hospital,fell<br />
victimtothe 1918influenza epidemic<br />
as he assisted and relieved those<br />
sufferingfrom the influenza. There is a<br />
certain irony that we are currently<br />

favourofahospital at Waikari, was<br />
that the countiesofCheviot, Amuri,<br />
and Waiparaconsidered thatthey<br />
were getting poor return for the<br />
hospital ratesthey were paying.<br />
‘‘A proposal that the three counties<br />
shouldget severance from the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Hospital Board district<br />
was taken up with considerable favour,<br />
and sympathetically received by the<br />
Minister of Hospitals”.<br />
It went on to say that “the doorsof<br />
the hospital wereopenedbyMrs Evans<br />
on 2nd September 1920’’.<br />
Interestingly Mr and Mrs Little were<br />
obliged to reside at the Great <strong>North</strong>ern<br />
Hotel untilfour residents of Waikari,<br />
MessrsAnderson, Earl, Arresand<br />
Holland undertook to see to the<br />
building of adoctor’sresidence and<br />
the Waipara County Council agreed to<br />
take over, afterobtaining the<br />
necessarypower to do so.<br />
This was the beginningofcounty<br />
councils providingadoctor’shouse in<br />
country districts.<br />
This is not too distant from what we<br />
do today in supportofthe provision of<br />
quality health services for our<br />
communities. No doubt the hospital<br />
holds storiesclose to the heartsof<br />
many people, as it has brought many<br />
new lives intothe world.<br />
But with the reduction of the<br />
birthing unit, it will alsohold special<br />

Doocey saysfreecounselling sessions<br />

people through tough times, and it is<br />
clear Covid required asimilar<br />
response.<br />
‘‘Thisregion in particular has<br />

‘‘Thisisnot atimetomakethings<br />

He encourages all schoolprincipals<br />
to apply for the Ministry of Education<br />

Areliable protein<br />
Starting in <strong>December</strong> and finishing<br />
around February every year, pasture<br />
will inevitably increase in NDF% and<br />
reduce it’s ME content, as well as drop<br />
the crude protein percentage. Milk<br />
production can decrease significantly<br />
depending on the pasture<br />
management, but even in the best<br />
managed pastures, the willingness of<br />
the grass to go reproductive cannot be<br />
stopped.<br />
These conditions are areal<br />
challenge for the cows to be able to<br />
maintain milk production. In ahigh<br />
payout year like this one, avoiding<br />
this drop over the summer period is a<br />
no brainer. But how…?<br />
Inside the rumen, bacteria have<br />
specific requirements of ammonia<br />
(between 10 15 mg/dl) that need to be<br />
supplied constantly over a24hour<br />
period in order to digest the feed and<br />
multiply.<br />
By including Optisync in the cow’s<br />
diet during this short period will help<br />
increase the rumen bacteria numbers<br />
which will lead to improved pasture<br />
utilisation and animal performance.<br />
Optisync is aunique “slow release”<br />
rumen degradable protein source<br />
designed to safely feed and meet the<br />
requirements of the rumen bacteria.<br />
As consequence, the rumen bacteria<br />
will not only effectively digest the<br />
grass, but will also increase the<br />
bacteria population by 1020 %,<br />
supplying the cow with the protein<br />
and energy that she needs to keep<br />
producing milk, maintain pregnancy<br />
and start adding body condition.<br />
Data from anew metaanalysis for<br />
ruminants based on the results of 17<br />
studies carried out in six different<br />
countries, showed that Optisync, a<br />
nonprotein nitrogen ingredient, can<br />
replace vegetable protein sources and<br />
enable dairy producers to<br />
simultaneously improve animal<br />
performance, reduce their carbon<br />
Matt Cassineri<br />
footprint and increase profitability.<br />
Generally, 100 grams of Optisync<br />
could replace 0.9 kilograms (or 900<br />
grams) of soya (46% CP) or 1kilogram<br />
of Canloa (35% CP).<br />
The metaanalysis highlighted, how<br />
with Optisync, there was aconsistent<br />
improvement in feed efficiency (3%),<br />
increased nitrogen use efficiency for<br />
milk production by 4%, while<br />
increasing profitability and reducing<br />
the environmental impact.<br />
The rumen bacteria do take time to<br />
respond, an adaptation period of 57<br />
days is recommended. It also depends<br />
on the rest of the diet composition.<br />
Generally, one would expect to see<br />
improvements in fibre digestion after<br />
1012 days of using Optisync.<br />

Barley grass ... The seed heads can cause problems for pets when the weather is hot and<br />
the grass is dry.<br />
PHOTO: FILE<br />
Barleygrass is adanger<br />
to pets in thesummer<br />
Pets should be kept well away from long<br />
dry grass in the summer months, says a<br />
Culverden vet.<br />
That is because barley grass seed,<br />
which is abundant in long grass at this<br />
time of year is dangerous for pets<br />
because of the sharp bristlelike seeds<br />
which can easily attach to pets’ fur and<br />
if not removed quickly can burrow into<br />
the skin.<br />
‘‘The best way to prevent this from<br />
happening is to keep pets away from<br />
long grass,’’ says Alana Drury, of the<br />
Culverden <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Vet Clinic.<br />
Barley seeds are aproblem all year<br />
round, but particularly at this time of<br />
the year when the weather is hot and the<br />

grass is dry with brittle, sharp seeds.<br />
Alana recommends pet owners do<br />
regular checks of their animals if they<br />
have been playing in long grass to make<br />
sure seeds haven’t attached to the fur.<br />
Particular care should be taken to<br />
check behind the animal’s head, around<br />
the ears and eyes, between the toes, in<br />
the groin area and armpits. Longhaired<br />
dogs are particualry susceptible<br />
because the seeds are more difficult to<br />
see.<br />
The seeds can be removed easily if<br />
they are attached to the fur but removal<br />
from other, more sensitive areas, will<br />
require emergency veterinary<br />
attention.<br />
If the seeds are not removed<br />
immediately they can create serious<br />
problems by penetrating the skin and<br />
causing an abcess to develop which will<br />
also require emergency veterinary care.<br />
Sometimes the seeds can lay dormant<br />
under the skin for months before<br />
causing aproblem. Seeds can become<br />
buried under the skin and can even<br />
track along under the skin to adifferent<br />
part of the body, from the foot into the<br />
chest area, for example, which is<br />
particularly dangerous for the animal.<br />
Alana said the Culverden Clinic has<br />
had afew woolly farm dogs come into<br />
the surgery in the last few weeks to get<br />
barley grass seeds removed.<br />
They have now been clipped to make<br />
it easier to spot and remove the seeds<br />
before they become aproblem.<br />
‘‘Clipping their fur is agood way to<br />
make checking for grass seed easier,’’<br />
Alana said.

Please takecarethis festive season<br />
The festive season is agreat time of year andisfun forthe family,petsincluded. During this time we introduce lots of items into our homes thatwe<br />
don’t normally have.Some of these things canbepotentially harmfultoour pets.Below arejustsome of the dangers, although each toxicitycaseis<br />
different-itgoeswithoutsaying; if your petdoes getinto mischief andconsumes anyofthese items, the first thing to do is contactyour vetfor advice.<br />
Lilies are really toxic to cats,<br />
they cause kidney failure.<br />
Every part of the plant is<br />
harmful to acat, including the<br />
pollen which may be ingested<br />
whilst grooming themselves.<br />
Other festive plants that<br />
are harmful to pets include<br />
poinsettias, ivy & mistletoe.<br />
Decorations: Tinsel is<br />
dangerous if swallowed, it can<br />
wrap around the tongue or<br />
anchor itself in the stomach,<br />
rendering it unable to pass<br />
through the intestines.<br />
Edible ornaments, candy<br />
canes, chocolate coins also<br />
are harmful to our pets.<br />
Ingestion of grapes in any form,<br />
ie currants, sultanas, raisins,<br />
juice,can cause kidney failure.<br />
If you suspect ingestion call your<br />
vet straight away to give them<br />
the best chance of recovery.<br />
Treatment needs to begin before<br />
toxins have been absorbed.<br />
Some mushrooms can be<br />
toxic or agastrointestinal<br />
irritant, hallucinogenic, or<br />
cause acute liver failure.<br />
Garlic and onions can cause<br />
stomach upset and anemia.<br />
The cob of sweetcorn can<br />
cause aserious intestinal<br />
blockage.<br />
Stone fruits, seeds, pips and<br />
nuts can be achoking hazard<br />
or cause agastrointestinal<br />
obstruction. The stones, stems<br />
and leaves can contain cyanide,<br />
which carries atoxicity risk.<br />
Nuts are high in fats which can<br />
result in vomiting,diarrhoea, and<br />
pancreatitis.<br />
Pets can get alcohol from many<br />
sources: rotten fruit, fermented<br />
products and alcoholic desserts,<br />
or spilled drinks. Adog’sliver<br />
and kidneys are not meant to<br />
process alcohol (ethanol). Even a<br />
small amount can result in severe<br />
consequences.<br />
Christmas mince pies, cake<br />
and pudding are dangerous<br />
for three main reasons:<br />
1. They are full of dried<br />
grapes which are toxic!<br />
2. They are full of fats which<br />
can cause stomach upsets.<br />
3. They may containalcohol!<br />
Cooked bones become brittle,<br />
they splinter easily and can get<br />
stuck causing an obstruction, gut<br />
irritation, constipation, diarrhoea<br />
and intestinal perforation. Asmall<br />
amout of fatty meat left on a<br />
discarded bone cancause a<br />
gastrointestinal upset.<br />
Chocolate is toxic and can be<br />
life-threatening for pets.Caffine in<br />
chocolate alsocontributes to its<br />
toxicity.The high fat content can<br />
also lead to pancreatitis. Xylitol,<br />
found in “sugar free” products<br />
causes alife-threatening rapid<br />
drop in blood sugar levels and<br />
can cause liver damage.<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />
Satisfy Food Rescue is ‘‘excited’’ the<br />
proposed KaiapoiCommunityHub is a<br />
step closertobecomingareality.<br />
The KaiapoiSeftonCommunity Board<br />
approved afinal draft concept last month<br />
for the proposedhub, which will be<br />
located between Charters Streetand<br />
Courtenay Drive.<br />
‘‘We are excitedtobepart of a<br />
community collaboration and to get a<br />
dedicated base built for us,’’ SatisfyFood<br />
Rescuemanager Stef van Meer says.<br />
‘‘We are very luckytobe able to<br />
connect with likeminded groups to<br />
develop aspacethat worksfor us and for<br />
the community.’’<br />
Satisfy Food Rescue is one of three<br />
groupsworking with the Waimakariri<br />
District Council to developthe<br />
community hub concept.<br />
The other groups are the Kaiapoi<br />
Croquet Cluband the KaiapoiMenz<br />
Shed, but thereisplenty of room for more<br />
groups, WaimakaririDistrict Council<br />
community and recreation manager<br />
Chris Brown says.<br />
‘‘We are agrowing district and it’s<br />
getting moredifficult for hobby groups to<br />
buy land and set up abase.<br />
‘‘Thisisawaycouncilcan help to<br />
ensurethere’s opportunitiesfor social<br />
wellbeing.’’<br />
DeputyMayor NevilleAtkinsonsays<br />
the community hub will be ‘‘a greatasset<br />
for the community’’.<br />
‘‘The croquet club has beeninalmost<br />
dire circumstances since the<br />
earthquakes and the menzshed needs a<br />
permanent home, as they have been<br />
shifted round afew times, and Satisfy just<br />
keepsgrowing.’’<br />
Mr Brown says the concept planwas<br />
completedfollowing consultation on a<br />
preliminary conceptplan earlier in the<br />
year.<br />
The new conceptplan is out for<br />
consultation until <strong>December</strong> 13.<br />
Community feedback will determine<br />
whether more consultation is needed<br />
before the council notifies the resource<br />
consent next year.<br />
Mr Brown says all goingwell,the<br />
consent process couldbecompleted by<br />
the middle of next year, allowingwork to<br />
beginonconstructingthe site.<br />
Acharitable trust will be establishto<br />
run the site, own the buildingsand be<br />
responsible for insurance and<br />
maintenance and have an agreement<br />
with the clubs to use the assets.<br />
‘‘We have spoken to external funding<br />
providersand theylike that model, as it<br />
meansthe trust can show them the wider<br />
communitybenefits,’’MrBrown says<br />
Whilethe council willdevelop the site,<br />
including landscapingand installing<br />
walk ways and carparking, the trust and<br />
the clubs will be responsible for securing<br />
funding for buildings.<br />
‘‘Thesite will stillbeanopen<br />
communityspace, although obviously you<br />
won’tbeable to walk on the croquet<br />
greens,’’ Mr Brown says. ‘‘People will be<br />
abletofreely walkaround the rest of the<br />
siteasthey do now for walkingthe dog or<br />
for general exercise.’’<br />
Sitesecurity, lighting, the orientation<br />
of the buildings, building materials and<br />
aesthetics will all be considered as part<br />
of the consent process.<br />

SUMMER GARDENING<br />
12 <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>December</strong> 2, 2<strong>02</strong>1<br />
<strong>December</strong> is great for gardeners<br />
By HENRI HAM,<br />
Awapuni Nurseries<br />
<strong>December</strong> is the perfect month to spend<br />
more timeinthe garden.<br />
The pleasure of learningnew plant<br />
varieties, and discoveriesongardening<br />
approachesisshared among many avid<br />
gardeners.<br />
Ihope these quicktips help you have a<br />
successfulvegetable or flower garden.<br />
Tidy Up<br />
Starttrimming your hedges, small trees,<br />
shrubs and lawn hedges. Deadhead your<br />
flowers and mulch aroundyour plants.<br />
Popular Edibles<br />
It is agreattime to plantfavourites like<br />
cucumbers, tomatoes,chillies,<br />
watermelons, rock melons, sweet cornand<br />
passionfruit.<br />
Stakeyour tomatoes within amonth<br />
afterplantingthem or before they reach a<br />
height of about 250to300mm.<br />
Tomatoesare easy to grow but their<br />
growing stems are quitesoft and sensitive<br />
to damage.Plus,they yield heavycropsso<br />
it’s good to give them early support.<br />
Blossom End Rot Prevention<br />
Acommonmisconceptionisblossom<br />
end rot is afungal plant disease.<br />
One of the causesofblossomend rot is<br />
calcium deficiency and this can happen in<br />
tomatoes, eggplants, melons forexample.<br />
Calcium is avital nutrient in vegetable<br />
plants because it strengthens the cellular<br />
structure in the fruit.<br />
Asidefromnutrientdeficiency, another<br />
possible cause of blossom end rot is over<br />
fertilisation(nitrogen). Too much nitrogen<br />
can meanthe plantdoesn’t absorb its<br />
required levels of calcium.<br />
Inconsistency of watering is another<br />
possible issue. In order to give your plants<br />
the best chances against blossom end rot,<br />
give your plant calciumrichfertilisers.<br />
Keep your plants wellwatered.Add mulch<br />
to keep the soilmoist.<br />
Popular edibles ... Time to get planting.<br />
Garlic Lovers<br />
Summer is the best timetoharvestgarlic<br />
—from the end of <strong>December</strong> to early<br />
January.<br />
When the lower, outer leaves turn<br />
yellow or brown, it’stimetoharvestthe<br />
garlic.Loosen the soil around the plant<br />
and carefully pullthem out.<br />
Timing is quite important. When you<br />
harvestthe garlictoo early,it’s likely it<br />
won’t store well. Once harvested, youcan<br />
eat the garlic right away,although some<br />
people leave them on the ground for afew<br />
days to dry it up.<br />
If you intendtostore it forafew days, tie<br />
the bundles togetherand keep themina<br />
cool, dark, dry place with good air<br />
circulation.<br />

BasilSeason<br />
Salads and desserts are ahighlight of<br />
this season and addingbasilisagreat way<br />
to add flavour to your meals. Awapuni<br />
nurseries stock eight varieties of basil:<br />
lemon, bush,Thai, sweet, red Rubin,<br />
cinnamon,greek mini and mixed. We<br />
particularly recommendthe basil lemon<br />
for aburst of unique, citrusy flavour. It<br />
smells amazing, too.<br />
Blooming<br />
Everywhere in New Zealand, flower<br />
gardens are blooming. Fill up your<br />
gardens withfoxgloves, lavender,<br />
impatiens and poppies. If you wish to try<br />
something different, take alookatsome<br />
lupins or salvia. They'll add abit of colour<br />
and heighttoyour garden.<br />

Discussing waste minimisation<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Sending less wastetolandfill will<br />
take acommunity effort, says<br />
Hurunui District Councilwaste<br />
officer NicoleHurinui.<br />
Nicole is keen to connectwith the<br />
district’slocal business as astep<br />
towards achievingthis.<br />
‘‘We are keen to hear new ideas<br />
from businesses about whatthey’re<br />
doingtokeep contaminationand<br />
wastevolumesdown.<br />
‘‘It’s about starting a<br />
conversation. As acouncil we can<br />
provide advice, tips, and assist with<br />
wastereduction where needed,’’<br />
she says.<br />
When it comes to waste, Cheviot<br />
Four Squareowners,Steve and<br />
Ginny Allison, are atoughact to<br />
follow.<br />
Theteam recycles its dry<br />
cardboard, and food scrapsare<br />
collected by alocal accredited pig<br />
farmer. Their recycling is placed in<br />
banana boxes or clean cardboard<br />
cartons and takendirectlytothe<br />
transfer stationinCheviot.<br />
‘‘Steveand Iwant to make sure<br />
we are doing the best jobwecan for<br />
thecommunity and the<br />
environment,’’says Ginny.<br />
They firmly believe if you aren’t<br />
progressingasabusiness, you<br />
become stagnant andfall behind.<br />
Reducing wasteisnoexception.<br />
‘‘Ithink it is great what Nicole is<br />
doing. As businesses, we can always<br />
be improvinginthis area.With<br />
Nicole actingasagobetween, we<br />
cantake on her feedbackand learn<br />
from each other.’’<br />
The council’s transfer stations<br />
offervarious options for recycling,<br />
and the staff have great<br />
relationships with locals who are<br />
looking to maximise waste<br />
reduction.<br />
Nicole is keen to continue these<br />
chatswith other local businesses.<br />
‘‘It’s areally positive way to<br />
engage with the business<br />
community, and createaflowon<br />

aboutthe importance of waste<br />

Wakatu Quay parking discussed<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Parking and access at the Wakatu<br />
Quay development and Easter<br />
trading werediscussed at the<br />
KaikouraDistrict Council’smeeting<br />
last week.<br />
Aconcept plan for parking and<br />
access at Wakatu Quay was<br />
approved in principle by<br />
councillors, ‘‘knowing that<br />
everything might change’’,chief<br />
executive Will Doughty says.<br />
‘‘Theproject needs some<br />
certaintyinterms of apreferred<br />
option to move to any consenting<br />
stage.’’<br />
The approval gives theKaikoura<br />
Marine Development Project some<br />
certaintytomove forward.<br />
The concept plan lays out parking<br />
and accessoptions in two stages,to<br />
be implemented as the project<br />
develops.<br />
In stage one the council will<br />
createaoneway traffic system<br />
using the existing roads and<br />
parking.<br />
Forstage two the councilhas<br />
entered intodiscussions with a<br />
neighbouring landowneraround<br />
thepossibility of creating an<br />
alternative accessroute.<br />
Thecouncil’s preferred concept<br />
plan, adopted earlierthis year, is<br />
estimated to cost around$20<br />
million.<br />
Thecouncil received nearly $10<br />
million funding fromthe<br />
government’sProvincial Growth<br />
Fund, leaving it around $10 million<br />
short.<br />
Expressions of interest closed on<br />
Friday,with the council keen to<br />
hear from potential individual<br />
tenancies or from adeveloper<br />
interested in investing in the whole<br />
development.<br />
‘‘It reallydepends on the level of<br />
interest, whether it’s astaged<br />
development or whether everything<br />
can be built at once,’’MrDoughty<br />
says.<br />
‘‘What we have signalled earlyon,<br />
this is not going to be aburden on<br />
the ratepayers of Kaikoura. But as a<br />
council we can always revisit that.’’<br />
Councillors also agreed for the<br />
Easter Sunday ShopTradingPolicy<br />
to go out for public consultation as<br />
part of the council’s fiveyearly<br />
review.<br />
The policywas first adopted in<br />
2017,following the passing of the<br />
Shop Trading Hours Amendment<br />
Act 2016, allowing Kaikoura<br />
retailerstotrade on Easter Sunday.<br />
The publichas until January 10 to<br />
offerfeedback.<br />

Designer Canvas for all your outdoor fabrics<br />
Designer Canvas has been operating for<br />
more than 30 years designing,<br />
manufacturing, repairing and installing<br />
outdoor fabric products for satisfied<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> clients.<br />
Owner Peter Edwards says ‘‘we really<br />
do anything and everything out of many<br />
types of fabrics’’.<br />
‘‘Basically we’ll do whatever our<br />
customers want, it’s up to their<br />
imaginations.<br />
‘‘Which means we’ve done some<br />
‘weird stuff’ over the years,’’ he says.<br />
Peter specialises in the design,<br />
manufacture and installation of shade<br />
sails, but also makes caravan awnings,<br />
boat covers, transport covers and many<br />
other canvas and PVC products.<br />
‘‘I enjoy designing and making shade<br />
sails because of their versatility and<br />
effectiveness, providing much needed<br />
usable outdoor living space, especially<br />
during those hot summer months.<br />
‘‘Many customers comment that, ‘It’s<br />
like adding another room to the house<br />
but still getting to enjoy the outdoors’.<br />
‘‘Much better than chasing the<br />
umbrella down the street when those<br />
nor’westers roar through.’’<br />
Many are being used as carports or<br />
even boat storage out of the sun.<br />
Over the years Peter says he has<br />
probably made more than 1000 sails,<br />
many still going strong after 15plus<br />

Over the years Peter has made<br />

‘‘I even got tasked with making a<br />
wedding dress,’’ he says.<br />
Peter took over Designer Canvas in<br />
2016 after working there for 15 years.<br />
Originally from Auckland, Peter has<br />
more than 35 years experience in the<br />

What's happening Hurunui?<br />
AMBERLEY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT DESLUDGING<br />
IS NOW COMPLETE<br />
An estimated 620 tonnes of dry sludge has been removed from the wastewater ponds through adesludging<br />
process, an accumulation of 10-12 years ofwastewater into the ponds from Amberley Beach, Amberley,<br />
Leithfield Beach and Leithfield Village. Lagoon dredging is by far the most common form of lagoon (pond)<br />
sludge removal, where the dredger floats onthe lagoon and sucks upthe organic and non-organic material<br />
(the sludge) from the base of the lagoon where it has settled. The sludge isthen pumped into five ‘Geo-<br />
Bags’ where apolymer is added to assist in the drying process. Once the sludge has dried out, it's ready for<br />
re-use which can be added to alandfill, applied to agricultural cropland as fertiliser, orbagged with other<br />
materials and marketed as “biosolid compost” for use in agriculture and landscaping. The drying out process<br />
takes about two to three years, during which time the wastewater weeps from these bags, is collected, and<br />
pumped back through the ponds for irrigation use in the future.<br />
THE ROAD RESEALING SEASON<br />
Summer means the start ofresealing season. At locations around the District the roading maintenance<br />
contractor will be putting down anew layer of chipseal. Before this resealing takes place, they will be fixing<br />
existing faults along the road surface and edges, including drain and shoulder clearing to help prolong the<br />
life ofthe road, will be happening.<br />
We would ask that you take it slow….. While the chipseal is fresh and there may be some surplus chip on<br />
the road, please follow any temporary speed limits, which will help protect the seal, other road users, and<br />
yourself.<br />
TOOT FOR TUCKER<br />
On Tuesday 7<strong>December</strong> community volunteers including the Amberley Volunteer Fire Brigade, the<br />
Amberley and Glenmark Lions, and staff members from HDC will betooting for your tucker. The team will<br />

You can also drop your cans intothe Toot for Tucker box at the Amberley Library.<br />

Local hero ... Richard Craig’s long service to the Kaikoura community has been<br />
recognised.<br />
Kaikoura local hero named<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Along serving Kaikoura volunteer has been<br />
namedaKiwibank Local Hero.<br />
Richard Craig has been volunteering for<br />
Coastguard Kaikoura for34years, is a<br />
KaikouraMarineGuardian andhas also<br />
been activeinthe Kaikoura Salmon<br />
EnhancementSociety and Te KorowaiTe<br />

He was also recently named Coastguard<br />
volunteer of the yearand Coastguard<br />
rescue vesselvolunteer of the year at the<br />
2<strong>02</strong>1 CoastguardAwards of Excellence.<br />
‘‘I’mnot one for awards,’’MrCraig says.<br />
‘‘Everything I’m in, I’m partofateam and<br />
I’ve beenluckyenough to have some<br />
leading roles.<br />
‘‘Butit’s nice to be recognised.’’<br />
Mr Craig was Coastguard Kaikoura<br />
presidentfor 16 years andremains the<br />
organisation’s health and safetyofficer.<br />
He played an integral role in raising<br />
$700,000in2006 to buy anew rescue vessel,<br />
whichheskippers.<br />
‘‘We carryout rescues around Kaikoura<br />
and sometimesdown to Motunau and up to<br />
Cape Campbell.<br />
‘‘It’s prettyruggedcoastline,but we have<br />
averygood rescueboat.<br />

for people whoget intodifficulties.’’<br />
Mr Craig ran acarpet and vinyl floor<br />
laying business in Kaikoura before retiring<br />
four years ago.<br />
He admitsithas been achallenging few<br />
yearsfor Coastguard Kaikoura.<br />
‘‘Covid has been strange times for<br />
everybodyand before that it was the<br />
earthquakes, so it has been prettybusy.’’<br />
The rescuecrews were involved in<br />
evacuating tourists from Kaikoura<br />
following the November 2016 earthquake.<br />
The Coastguard building was<br />
refurbished, while dredging was required<br />
to launchthe rescue boardafterthe<br />
coastline was raisedbythe earthquake.<br />
‘‘Fortunatelywedidn’t have too many<br />
boatsaroundatthe time,’’ Mr Craig says.<br />
But the worknever ends, as fundraising<br />
will begin soon to replacethe rescue boat,<br />
whichwill turn 20years in 2<strong>02</strong>6.<br />
His knowledgeofthe marine<br />
environmentand the fisheries in the area<br />
saw him appointedasaMarineGuardian<br />
when the Hikurangi Marine Reservewas<br />
created by government legislation in 2014.<br />
Te Korowai Te Tai oMarokura was<br />
established nearly 20 years ago to advise<br />
the Ministries of Fisheries and<br />
Conservation andtohelp ensurethe<br />
fisheries and marine mammalsare<br />
preservedfor future generations,MrCraig<br />
says.<br />
Paua fisheries reopened<br />
Paua fishing along the Kaikoura coastline<br />
has reopenedfor the first time in five years.<br />
The November2016 earthquake caused<br />
extensive changes to the marine habitat<br />
alongthe Kaikoura coastline between<br />
Marfells Beach /Cape Campbell and<br />
Conway River, including significant coastal<br />
uplift.<br />
The loss of awide range of marine<br />
species led to the area being closed to<br />
commercialand recreational fishing of<br />
most shellfish and seaweed, including paua<br />
andkina,for five years.<br />
The Kaikoura MarineGuardianshave<br />
been monitoring the fisheriesclosely and<br />
madeasubmission to the Minister for<br />
Oceans and Fisheries in February to<br />
reopen the Kaikoura marinearea.<br />
As aprecautionthe fishery will reopen<br />
for athree month to February 28.<br />
Asurveyhas been conducted prior to the<br />
fishery reopening on <strong>December</strong> 1, while a<br />
followup survey will be carried out at the<br />
end of the threemonth period to assess the<br />
effects of fishing.<br />
An independentsurvey of recreational<br />
fishingalong the coastline will also collect<br />
information on catch levels and fishing<br />
locations.<br />
Commercial and recreational fishing<br />
along the Kaikoura coastline is allowed for<br />
common or black foot paua fishing until<br />
February 28.<br />
The less common and smaller yellow foot<br />
paua remainsoff limits.<br />
There is adaily limit of five paua per<br />
person,upto amaximum of 10 paua for<br />
recreational fishingwith aminimum legalsize<br />
limit of 125mm shellfish length.<br />
Commercial fishing for paua will open<br />
for the same threemonth period and will<br />
be managedwith anew totalallowable<br />
commercial catch of 23 tonnes,around 50<br />
percentofthe preearthquake catch level.<br />
Commercial and recreational kina<br />
fishing is also open with alimit of 20 kina<br />
per day.<br />
The OaroHaumuri Taiapureisalso open<br />
to paua and kina fishing,but four other<br />
customary management areas along the<br />
Kaikoura coast remain closedto<br />
commercial and recreational paua fishing.<br />

The Waimakariri District has recognised<br />
two youth leaders with aspecial lunch on<br />
Friday.<br />
With the annual YouthVoice<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> awards evening cancelled<br />
due to Covid19, Mayor Dan Gordon and<br />
chief executive Jim Harland shouted<br />
lunch for Waimakariri’s two award<br />
winners, Ruby Wilson and Chloe Betony.<br />
‘‘We are incredibly proud of these<br />
outstanding young people and their drive<br />
and commitment to play apart in<br />
creating apositive tomorrow for our<br />
district and region,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />
‘‘It’s apleasure to work with Ruby and<br />
Chloe on the Youth Council.’’<br />
Ruby, who is the Waimakariri Youth<br />
Council deputy chairperson, won the<br />
Matt Doocey MP supreme award for<br />
Waimakariri and was runnerup for the<br />
‘changemaker award’.<br />
‘‘Ruby has done an incredible amount<br />
in our community, not only in her Youth<br />
Council and WaiYouth roles, but also<br />
volunteering through her church, school<br />
and wider community including regional<br />
youth networks,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />
Fellow youth councillor, Chloe was<br />
runnerup for the environmental action<br />
award.<br />
‘‘Chloe has been instrumental in<br />
developing our youthled environmental<br />
projects,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />
‘‘This includes local river clean ups<br />
and the Biota Node project, in<br />
partnership with Te Kohaka oTuhaitara<br />
Trust.’’<br />
The annual youth awards is an<br />
opportunity to champion youth and<br />
celebrate the work young people do in<br />
the <strong>Canterbury</strong> region.<br />

this year’s youth awards via its Facebook<br />

Young driver safety priority<br />
Taking adefensive driving<br />
course changed rural<br />
teenager Hillary Cooper’s<br />
confidence to test her<br />
skills on the open road.<br />
The Oxford Area School<br />
Year 11 student now wants<br />
to use her role as<br />
Waimakariri’s brand new<br />
Youth MP to help other<br />
young people in<br />
Waimakariri learn to drive<br />
safely on the electorate’s<br />
open roads.<br />
Waimakariri MP Matt<br />
Doocey says he received a<br />
high calibre of<br />
applications from young<br />
people wanting to be his<br />
next Youth MP.<br />
‘‘It was great to have the<br />
input of my previous<br />
Youth MP, Ellie Tizzard,<br />
and Waimakariri District<br />
Council Youth and<br />
Development Facilitator<br />
Emily Belton, as two of the<br />
judges on the selection<br />
panel to make the very<br />
hard choice of who would<br />
represent Waimakariri’s<br />
young people at Youth<br />
Parliament.’’<br />
Youth Parliament will<br />
be held on July 19 and 20,<br />
2<strong>02</strong>2.<br />
Hillary fronted the<br />
interview panel armed<br />
with an exciting project<br />
she was ready to drive<br />
from the getgo.<br />
She wanted to remove<br />
barriers for youth in<br />
Waimakariri to accessing<br />
driver training and<br />
learning to drive safely on<br />
our open roads, Mr Doocey<br />
says.<br />
Driving success ... Hillary Cooper will be working as<br />
Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey's new Youth MP to raise<br />
awareness of the importance of making driver training and<br />
defensive driving courses more accessible to young people.<br />
Living in arural<br />
community, Hillary knows<br />
how difficult it can be for<br />
our young people to access<br />
driver training, especially<br />
defensive driving skills.<br />
‘‘She convinced me how<br />
important it is for<br />
community safety that our<br />
young drivers have the<br />
skills they need to drive<br />
defensively and safely,’’Mr<br />
Doocey says.<br />
Hillary says young<br />
people in Waimakariri<br />
struggle to get where they<br />
need to be with parents<br />
working and driver licence<br />
fees and accessibility to<br />
lessons often out of reach.<br />
‘‘Growing up on adairy<br />
PHOTO: SUPPLIED<br />
farm, Iknow those barriers<br />
are very real and Iwant to<br />
see driver training<br />
programmes implemented<br />
in our schools.<br />
‘‘This is an issue Iwant<br />
to take to Wellington to<br />
raise in Youth Parliament.<br />
Defensive driving courses<br />
are offered at acost that is<br />
prohibitive to young<br />
people, yet they have been<br />
proved to increase<br />
community safety. Having<br />
more courses and mentors<br />
will save lives.’’<br />
Hillary will be reaching<br />
out to young people across<br />
Waimakariri to get their<br />
feedback ahead of Youth<br />
Parliament next year.<br />

<strong>Canterbury</strong>, we need<br />
to talk about our<br />
changing climate.<br />
Climate change is alreadyaffecting our<br />
localcommunitiesand ecosystems.Itis<br />
not an easy or small topic. That’s whyour<br />
localand regional councilshavepooled<br />
resources,knowledge and expertise to<br />
helppeopleunderstand, preparefor and<br />
adapt to changesthat<strong>Canterbury</strong>islikely<br />
to experience.<br />
The It’s time, <strong>Canterbury</strong>website is home<br />

Explore these pages to learn aboutwhat<br />
changesare expectedherein<strong>Canterbury</strong>,<br />
and pickupsomeideasabout howyou<br />
canhelp minimise,and adapt to,the<br />
impacts of climatechange.<br />
Whatisclimate change?<br />
Over many years,scientists and tohunga<br />
have learntalot aboutEarth’s climate<br />
system. We know that recent changes<br />
in the climate arewidespread,rapid,<br />
and intensifying,and unprecedented<br />
in thousandsofyears.<br />
As Earth’s temperature<br />
continuestorise,itcauses<br />
changesinrainfall, weather<br />
patterns, and the frequency<br />
of extreme events, as well<br />
as ice meltand sea level<br />
rise.This results in arange<br />
of effects we experience in<br />
our naturalenvironment<br />
and the areas we livein.<br />
Climate changein<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
If we carry onasusual, and greenhouse<br />
gas emissions continue to increase,<br />
average temperatures in <strong>Canterbury</strong> are<br />
projectedtoincrease by up to 3.5°C by<br />
the end of the century. The likelihood<br />
of drought conditions is also projected<br />
to increase, and firerisk will increase as<br />
soilsand plants become drier.<br />
Alongside drought, we can expect<br />
wetter winters in many eastern, western<br />
and southern parts of <strong>Canterbury</strong>,<br />
with up to 40% more rain.<br />
What’sbeingdone?<br />
The morewelearn about the challenges<br />
associatedwith climate change in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>, the morewecan use our<br />
knowledge to makewise decisions.<br />
Councils arethinking differently about<br />
biodiversity,water availability,flood<br />
protection, coastal erosion, energy,<br />
land, urban design, infrastructure<br />
and industry soyou, your whānau, your<br />
community or your business can be<br />
supportedtobetter understand and<br />
proactively respond. Mō tātou, ā, mō<br />
kā uri, āmuri akenei –for us,and our<br />
children after us.<br />
If we work together to reduce emissions,<br />
we can collectively limit the amount of<br />
warming in <strong>Canterbury</strong>/Waitaha.<br />
Can Ireally makeadifference?<br />
Absolutely! The easiest thing youcan<br />
do is be informedand become part of<br />
the conversation. Makesureyou have<br />

Our priority is safety and<br />
customer satisfaction<br />
Province Wide Helicopters (PWH) was<br />
formed in 2009 by commercial helicopter<br />
pilot Flint Horn and his wife Jenny,<br />
Flint who has accumulated 12,500 flight<br />
hours over a 33 year flying career, wanted<br />
to give back to the industry he loves.<br />
Throughout Flint’s career his number<br />
one priority has been Safety and<br />
Customer Satisfaction.<br />
PWH initially provided the flight training<br />
to young pilots wanting to master the<br />
techniques of helicopter flying.<br />
This was mostly done from autumn<br />
through to early summer.<br />
During the summer months Flint flew<br />
helicopters as acontract pilot fire fighting<br />
for the New South Wales fire service in<br />
Australia.<br />
Australia is only one of the off shore<br />
country’s that he has flown in.<br />
For anumber of years he flew in British<br />
Columbia Canada working for logging<br />
companies.<br />
He also flew in the north west territories<br />
of Canada under taking live capture of<br />
wildlife for research. However, one of<br />
Flint’s greatest challenges was moving to<br />
Norman Wells, asmall settlement of 300<br />
people on the arctic circle.<br />
He was flying for Great Slave<br />
Helicopters where he held the position of<br />
Base Manager.<br />
He was sole charge and day light<br />
hours were a mere three hours, and<br />
temperatures plummeted to -40 degrees<br />
Celsius in the winter.<br />
Conditions were extreme which posed<br />
many challenges for both man and<br />
machine while serving the company’s allyear<br />
round clients.<br />
During the summer months there<br />
was 24-hour daily light and Flint’s role<br />
expanded to managing 13 helicopters<br />
and associated crew, serving oil and<br />
mining companys, fire fighting for the<br />
forest service, wildlife management,<br />
water surveying and servicing the small<br />
communities in the arctic.<br />
During Flint’s career he has been<br />
involved in working for medivac and<br />
search rescue operators both in<br />
New Zealand and overseas, which<br />
included flying the Westpac and Nelson<br />
Marlborough Rescue Helicopters.<br />
He also carried out powerline surveying<br />
and construction in Australia and<br />
Canada.<br />
Flint’s philosophy is simple: Do things in<br />
a timely and professional manner.<br />
This is evident in how Flint and Jenny<br />
operate PWH.<br />
Students are trained to well above<br />
industry standards. From day one<br />
a student pilot is exposed to the<br />
environment that a commercial helicopter<br />
pilot flies in.<br />
Being located at Springbank, near<br />
Rangiora, Flint has access to agreat<br />
training environment with local farming<br />
property to train on, once airborne, and<br />
surrounding mountains within minutes of<br />
the helicopter base, saving the student<br />
valuable time and money on ferrying<br />
costs while training.<br />
PWH operate two Robinson R22<br />
helicopters and one Robinson R44, and<br />
offers training from novice through to full<br />
commercial pilot licencing.<br />
Exam tutoring is given on request as<br />
well as finance available for students<br />
who require it.<br />
Due to the extensive experience that<br />
Flint has obtained flying many types of<br />
helicopters, PWH offers students ratings<br />
on the most common types of helicopters<br />
available.<br />
PWH specialises in advanced mountain<br />
flying courses and longline training<br />
therefore giving the student pilot the most<br />
compressive real life training available.<br />
Flint believes that training pilots in the<br />
environment that they will eventually fly<br />
in has helped many of the pilots he has<br />
trained achieve jobs in both Canada and<br />
Australia.<br />
Flint is proud that anumber of off shore<br />
helicopter operators ring him for junior<br />
pilots that he has trained when positions<br />
become available.<br />
PWH now offers farmers and local<br />
government an aerial pest control service.<br />
With apurpose built helicopter<br />
transporter PWH can position their<br />
helicopters at minimal cost weather<br />
delays.<br />
Coupled with three experienced,<br />
professional shooters, athermal imager<br />
and map tracking equipment, PWH<br />
can deliver high pest control yields<br />
at competitive rates. Trail flights and<br />
Vouchers are also available.<br />

While they are cutting back on the<br />
Dorset Downs, Mrs Laing is confident the<br />
family will be farming for years to come.<br />
‘‘Our 5yearold grandson George is<br />
already keen on animals and he’s had a<br />
couple of pet lambs.<br />
‘‘He called his little pet lamb John<br />
Deere. It’s agood, wee pet and it follows<br />
him all over the place.’’<br />
The Chisnalls run the 120 ewe, Hursley<br />
Downs Southdown stud on an 80ha farm,<br />
alongside some beef cattle and a<br />
commercial flock of Romney ewes.<br />
The stud was established in 2007 for<br />
Mrs Chisnall, who tutors teachers for<br />
professional development.<br />
‘‘Wayne’s mum had asheep stud and<br />
she told him, ‘Jenny needs astud’.<br />
‘‘We work together he’s the brawn and<br />
I’m the passion,’’ Mrs Chisnall says.<br />
She was thrilled with the result, given<br />
other farmers struggled to make sales.<br />
‘‘We’re very happy with that,<br />
considering the sale. There was not alot<br />
of commercial buyers to under pin the<br />
sale.’’<br />
The day’s top price was $16,500 paid for<br />
aSuffolk ram from Collie Hills stud from<br />
Kurow in <strong>North</strong> Otago.<br />
Another Suffolk ram, vendored by<br />
Anton Gibson of Middlemarch sold for<br />
$9000, while $6000 was paid for aDorset<br />
Down ram bred by John Dodds of<br />
Oamaru.<br />

Sad end to equine love story<br />
Soulmates ... Amanda Scott Richards, with her daughter<br />
Poppy, aged 7, and their special family friend, Englishbred<br />
thoroughbred, Rawaah who died recently after afreak<br />
paddock accident.<br />
PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP<br />
An equinelove story, lasting<br />
more than17years, has<br />
come to asad end after a<br />
freakpaddock accident.<br />
The accidenthappened<br />
last month while Amanda<br />
ScottRichards,ofWest<br />
Eyreton, was not at home.<br />
It is amysteryhow her<br />
beloved Englishbred<br />
thoroughbred, Rawaah,<br />
brokehis neck, meaning he<br />
had to be put down.<br />
‘‘He has enriched our<br />
livesinsomany ways. It was<br />
utterly devastating to lose<br />
him, especially that way,’’<br />
she said.<br />
When Amanda and her<br />
husband JeremyRichards<br />
emigrated to New Zealand<br />
from England in 2008they<br />
paid £20,000tobring<br />
Rawaah withthem.<br />
It was ahuge cost thenfor<br />
the young couple, who had<br />
ownedanequestrianand<br />
horsetrekking centre in<br />
West Sussex before coming<br />
to New Zealand. But<br />
Rawaah was ‘‘an incredibly<br />
special horse’’ and leaving<br />
him behind was<br />
unthinkable.<br />
Amanda bought Rawaah<br />
for $1000 after the former<br />
highpricedyearling had<br />
failed to excel on the<br />
racetrackinthe United<br />
Kingdom.<br />
‘‘When Ifirst got Rawaah<br />
he was verymuch an<br />
institutionalised racehorse.<br />
He was stabled 24 hoursaday<br />
exceptfor time out<br />
training on the gallops when<br />
they go out with astring of<br />
100 other horses.<br />
‘‘He had never jumped,<br />
done dressage, he had never<br />
run around apaddock, seen<br />
sheep for example and he<br />
had never beenfloated,’’<br />
Amandasaid. ‘‘He just<br />
didn’thave the desire to<br />
race, unlike his sire<br />
Nashwan who won the<br />
Derby.’’<br />
But after two yearsin<br />
Amanda's care Rawaah<br />
gainedanew leaseonlife<br />
and was competing in<br />
dressage, showjumping and<br />
leading outtreks with her.<br />
He also helped Amanda run<br />
therapy sessions for MIND,<br />
amental health charity in<br />
the UnitedKingdom.<br />
‘‘I had to acquire alot of<br />
newskills to retrain<br />
Rawaah,’’Amanda said. ‘‘I<br />
studiednatural<br />
horsemanship with Kelly<br />
Marks, who workedwith<br />
horse whispererand bestselling<br />
authorofThe Man<br />
WhoListensToHorses,<br />
Monty Roberts.<br />
‘‘Ilearnt so much from<br />
workingwith Ra. He has<br />
been an amazingteacher,’’<br />
she said. ‘‘I feel very<br />
fortunate to have had such a<br />
special horse in my life.’’<br />
