Abeautiful fairy tale cut short by loggers

By ADAM BURNS

Atreasured ‘‘Fairy Forest’’ in North

Canterbury has been brutally axed by a

council contractor.

This is despite assurances by the

Waimakariri District Council the site at

Pines Beach would be preserved for the

community, who have been left

devastated.

Pines Beach residents are furious by

the destruction with some demanding

an apology by those responsible.

The episode has also sent

Waimakariri’s Mayor Dan Gordon into a

flap, and seeking answers from council's

logging contractor, who has been

pinpointed as the culprit.

The communitybuilt haven, also

referred to by locals as ‘‘The

Shack’’, was reportedly

established several years ago,

among an area of pine forest

at Pines Beach, near Kaiapoi.

Renowned for its arty and

‘‘quirky’’ atmosphere, the

secluded spot featured a

badminton court, amini golf course,

swings, and adecorated bar leaner

made from atree stump.

Pines Beach resident Jacinta

Sutherland says the spot was highly

cherished by the locals.

‘‘We're angry...we were told it was

going to be kept and now it's been

destroyed.

‘‘I just feel someone needs

to be held responsible.’’

Other community members

have described it as a

blessing for families during

Covid19.

Waimakariri councillor Al

Blackie says he was ‘‘horrified’’ when he

learnt of the destruction.

Ms Sutherland says the area was

enhanced over the years by visitors who

would build and add elements.

‘‘It evolved over time...you didn't know

what was going to be new.

‘‘It was looked after, and cared for.’’

Her mum Monique Moir, who

celebrated her 60th birthday at the site

during alockdown, is calling for an

apology to the community.

‘‘I can't believe someone would go in

there and just destroy aunique place.’’

Ascrub fire in January 2021, which

forced the evacuations of several Pines

Beach homes, destroyed dozens of

hectares of surrounding forest area,

however the Fairy Forest was

unscathed.

Bumper crowd at classic meet

BY SHELLEY TOPP

From Page 1

The easing of Covid19 restrictions

helped attract abumper crowd to a

classic vehicle gathering in Leithfield.

About 450 vehicles gathered near the

Better Half Kitchen and Bar at

Ashworths Corner for Sunday’s event.

Organiser Trevor StanleyJoblin said

it was ahuge success with about 1500

people attending. Under the new

restrictions, announced on March 23,

capacity limits are no longer required at

outdoor events.

The vehicles on display were amix of

all ages, large and small, with

Christchurch’s Kevin Jellyman’s ‘‘M&M

truck’’, a1931 Ford Model AA modified

in New York by its former owner, at the

larger end of the scale.

The haulage truck won every show it

went to in the United States, and at one

stage its owner turned down $US2

million for it.

But when he died, his family

advertised it for sale on eBay, and Kevin

bought it for alot less.

In the smallersized range of vehicles,

the 1998 Mini Cooper, owned by Belfast’s

Dillon Houghton, stood out.

The car has been in Dillon’s family for

15 years.

‘‘My parents bought it as afamily car

when Iwas growing up,’’ Dillon said.

‘‘I love this car. My dad Mark, who is

also here today, has had 25 of them.

‘‘He used to race Minis as well,’’ Dillon

said.

Annie, who is from Rangiora, began a

love affair with American cars after

learning to drive in afriend’s Pontiac

when she was 16.

‘‘After that Iwas hooked,’’ she said.

Challenging journey for centre

By SHELLEY TOPP

The development of the new urgentcare

Rangiora Medical Centre (RMC) is

expected to be achallenging journey.

But Mark Darvill, the Rangiora

Medical Centre 2013 Limited

Partnerships general manager, says

‘‘the destination will be worth it’’.

The vision for the new medical centre

was formed in partnership with

longstanding Rangiora GP Dr Lorna

Martin, and South Link Health Services.

South Link has been working in a

supporting role with primary health

care providers for many years, mostly in

Southland, but increasingly in

Canterbury, Tasman and the North

Island. The new Rangiora facility will be

commissioned by South Link on the old

Rangiora Hospital site, part of the

Canterbury District Health Board’s

Rangiora Health Hub, in Ashley Street.

The health board owns the land where

the new facility will be built, but the

building will be owned by South Link

with the main tenant being Rangiora

Medical Centre 2013 Limited

Partnership, which owns Rangiora

Family Doctors, Good Street Medical

Centre and Woodend Medical Centre.

There will be other private tenants,

such as apharmacy and an imaging

(Xray) facility, but those tenants have

not been selected yet.

‘‘The CDHB have been very

supportive, but will not be involved with

the operation nor management of the

new facility, Mark says.

‘‘RMC is aprivate entity like the

general practices that form it, and like

the urgentcare centres in Christchurch.

‘‘Primary health care delivery is one

of the oldest forms of public/private

partnership. Unlike ED (Emergency

Department), we are not fully funded,

and we need to be aviable business.’’

The project is still in the early stages

with aresource consent yet to be

granted for the building, which has not

gone to tender, and there has been no

date set for construction to begin. ‘‘It

will happen, but at this stage it is

impossible to give an indication when

the building may be complete,’’ Mark

says.

‘‘Even when the building is complete

there is then the process of fitting it out

for the tenants, and installing all the

medical systems and equipment

necessary.

‘‘Many people will recall the

commissioning issues that the new

hospital in Christchurch experienced,

so it takes avery brave person to

forecast an opening day.’’

To begin with the new facility is likely

to resemble avery large modern general

practice.

‘‘It is only once staff and systems are

bedded in, that extending the hours can

be contemplated,’’ Mark says.

‘‘For this reason it may be afew

months between opening the facility,

and the availability of extended hours

access, but having easy access to an

urgentcare facility in North Canterbury

is long overdue, and what the people of

the region deserve.’’

Mark was previously general manager

of Riccarton Clinic in Christchurch, a

combined general practice and urgent

care centre operating 8am to 8pm, every

day of the year.

Anzac Day services back on in Nth Canty

By ROBYN BRISTOW

Anzac Day services are back on in

North Canterbury.

The main centres of Kaiapoi,

Rangiora and Amberley cancelled

services earlierthis month due to

Covid19 restrictions on numbers

makingittoo difficult to hold

rememberanceservices.

But, after lastweek’s easing of

restrictions by Prime Minister Jacinda

Ardern, planning is full on to try and

rescuethe services.

However, goneisthe traditional

Dawn Service at the Kaiapoi

Monument,the parade in Rangiora, and

Amberley’s public service in the

Domain.

In Amberley people are invited to a

DawnService at the Monument on

Carters Road, Amberley, beside the

Hurunui Library instead.

RSA President James Drewery says

there is not enoughtime to organisea

march, or afull service in the Domain.

But what had initially started out as a

small Dawn Service,couldnow become

apublic service,starting at 6am.

‘‘With the stroke of apen, everything

has changed,’’says Mr Drewery.

Asimple servicewith somespeeches,

awreath laying and flag raising

ceremony, is now envisaged.

Outlying areasareas in the Hurunui

District are expected to hold similar

services later in the morning, withthe

opportunity now for morepeople to

attend.

Rangiora RSA president Ian

Thompson says while the traditional

parade will not go ahead, therewill be

afull serviceat11.30am at the

Monument in Rangiora's main street.

There willbeaddresses by invited

guests,and young people,and awreath

laying ceremony.

Mr Thompson says its is great that

such an important day can be

remembered by all those who want to

turn out.

In Kaiapoi RSA members will begin

their day with abreakfast at the

KaiapoiClub at 8am,which willbe

followed by apublic serviceat10am at

the Cenotaph on Raven Quay.

Mr Pricesays it is sad to havetofor go

the traditional Dawnservice, but it was

too difficulttoorganise at suchshort

notice, although he hopes it willmake

its return next year.

Being able to hold one public service,

however, gave everyone an opportunity

to attend arememberance service.

Services at Ohoka, which is

traditionallyheld on April 24, and at

Seftononthe eveningofApril24, are

expected to go ahead.

ARangiora High School Anzac Day

service is also expected to go ahead at

the school’s Court of Memories at

9.30am.

Heating systems at the soontobeopened

network

are

completed.

Project

managers

for the long

awaited $2 millionpool development have

foundthe existingsupplytobeinsufficient

the original scope was given the all clear.

It means the Hurunui District Council

may have to fork out tensofthousandsof

dollarsover the course of the year to run

adieselgenerator until improvements are

made to the network.

‘‘When the systems arrived on site for

installation it was notedthat they were

differenttothe original understanding,

and at operational loading the power

supply would be close to full capacity,’’

council chief executive Hamish Dobbie

says.

‘‘Thepower supply to the poolwas

sufficient based on the original

understanding of the specifications for

pumping/heating systems, and other

operational requirements.’’

It eventually became clear to those

helming the project, the existing supply

wouldnot be able to handlethe heating

demands for the pooluntil upgrades had

been done.

Amberley Poolproject managerPaul

Thornton says the generator runsthrough

160 litresofdiesel every two days and was

expectedtocostcouncil $5000 every four

weeks.

The pool was scheduled to open earlier

this month, however it was pushed back to

Amberley Pool ... The town’s new pool will need to be heated by abackup generator after

the power supply to the site was deemed insufficient.

By DAVID HILL

Agroup of Kaikoura locals

have overcome Covid19 to

organise apig and stag

hunt.

Covid restrictions had

forced the cancellation of

the original Kaikoura Pig

local enthusiasts have

come together to resurrect

the event as afundraiser

‘‘It doesn’t matter where

Environment Canterbury is proposing a

24.1 percent increase in total rates

collected to fund spending for the year

ahead.

It is proposedthat $264.02moftotal

expenditure in 2022/23 is fundedby

$160.4m directlyfrom ratepayers, with

the balance coming predominantly

from centralgovernment grants and

userpays.

Decisions made in June2021 on the

longterm plan, for work and activities

in 2022/23, account for 18.8 %ofthe

proposed increase.

Since then, events and the context we

all live and operate in has changed

greatly, with challenges not only

environmentally but economically and

socially as well.

The proposedincrease across North

Canterbury is in the order of 1820% for

rural and 2325% for urban ratepayers.

Funding shortfall

By DAVID HILL

NorthCanterbury’s social service agency

is facing afunding shortfall as it looks to

meet agrowing demand in the wakeof

Covid19.

Navigatingfundingchallenges is nothing

new for the Community Wellbeing North

Canterbury Trust, but the Covid19

environmentismaking it even more

difficult, manager Deirdre Ryan says.

At the same the trust is facing greater

demands on its services,due to Covid19.

She was speaking at the Waimakariri

District Council’scommunityand

recreationcommittee meetingearlier this

month,

‘‘It’s an ongoing struggle as there’salack

of certainty, but to keep our good people

we needtobeabletooffer long term

employment contracts.

‘‘Duringthe lasttwo yearsfundraising

has been seriouslycurtailed due to Covid.

Both our fundraising effortsand those

generous clubsand businesses who

fundraise on our behalf,’’MsRyan says.

At same timedemand for Community

Wellbeing’sservices are growing, with

staffing levels recently risingto34fulltime

equivalents, which saw the Rangiora office

move to abigger premisesinKing Street.

‘‘I don’t think we willbegetting any

smaller as there’smore need. We are being

askedtodomoreand we do our best to

meet that need,’’ Ms Ryan said. ‘‘Wejust

make sure that ourteam are takingbreaks

and are managing theirown wellbeing.’’

Community Wellbeing receivesfunding

from governmentcontracts to provide

services to the North Canterbury

community. But thisfundingdoes not

cover vehicles, facilities, laptops or the

manager’s salary, which are metby

community fundraising. Unlike other

private healthcareproviders, Community

Wellbeing does not expect its staff to clock

up the mileage in theirown private

vehicles.

Community Wellbeing works

collaborativelywith anumberof

organisations such as Connect Hurunui,

SocialServices Waimakariri, local

businesses and Lions, Rotary and Leo

clubs.

Arecent collaboration with Waikukubased

Surfwise is an exampleof

respondingtoaneed. Supported by Sport

Canterbury and donations from local

individualsand businesses, Community

Wellbeing and SurfWise developed and

ran apilot programme to support the

mentalhealth and wellbeingofyoung

peopleinthe community.

‘‘We need ongoing resources to turn this

pilot intoanongoing programme, so that

we can helpmany more young peoplein

Waimakariri and theHurunui,’’ Ms Ryan

says.

She says the best way people can

support CommunityWellbeing’swork is to

make adonation. ‘‘With cashdonations we

can respondquickly and flexibly to put in

place services where and when there’s

need. We can’t run the fundraising events

that we had hoped to this year, but we will

carryonasbest we can.’’

Council flooded with

drainage queries

By ADAM BURNS

Majorflooding in the Waimakariri

District over the past yearhas resulted

in asurge of drainagecheck requests,

leaving council contractors under the

pump.

Nearly 1500requestsfor drain works

have been received by the Waimakariri

District Council overthe

past 12 months,600 of

whichrelate to rain

events between May 2021

and February 2022.

The numberisabout

double whatthe council

typically receives.

About60areas have

been earmarked for

inspections with council

indicatingitwas going to take ‘‘a number

of months’’ to work through the

schedule.

Atotal of 25 drainage assessments

were under way.

The eastern part of the district

experienced aboutathird of the average

annual rainfall during an unusually wet

monthinFebruary.

Theseareas copped 200mmofrainfall

over atwo week period, including

floodingwhichoccurred on February

12.

It was the third floodingevent to occur

in the districtinless thanayear.

‘‘Thecriticalduration of 24 hours

meantthatour larger drainsand storage

system were tested,’’adrainageservice

update reportsays.

‘‘Howeverthere weresome more

intense periods of rainfall thattested

our pipedsystems and cause blockages

at some locations.’’

Woodend Rugby Club presidentPhil

Kennett says the recent flood eventhad

leftasignificantportion of turf at

Gladstone Park damaged.

‘‘It's munted half arugby field to the

extent where it'sbasically killedall the

grass off,’’ he says. ‘‘Council can'twork

out how it's happenedorwhy it's

happened.’’

He says the turf damage has impacted

the recentcricket season and workarounds

will be required

for theupcoming rugby

season.

‘‘We've basically lost

one full rugby field.’’

Kaiapoi Golf Club

boardchairmanJack

Oldridge says adrainage

pipe which runsacross a

fairway was enduring

regular blockages,

leaving surfacewater oftenonthe

course.

‘‘We've workedwith councilfor some

timeonthe issue, but it has not been

rectified to the level we want it so we'll

keeponpersevering.’’

The club was consideringdeveloping

somepondswith plantingonthe course

to act as acatchment for rainfall. The

buildup was not justlimitedtodrainage

worksapping up council’s resource.

Council waterteams say the district's

catchmentsare saturated and

groundwater levels in coastalregions,

including Waikuku Beach,Pegasus,

Woodend Beachand The PinesBeach

‘‘[This] is impacting drainage systems,

particularly soakagetype systems.’’

Before youstart lookingfor a

consider whetheryou want to

Thinkabout howbig your

Education leaders laud history changes

By ADAM BURNS

Local Democracy Reporter

ANorthCanterbury school principalsays

pupils may be apprehensivewhen the

revamped historycurriculum is

introduced into classrooms.

Kaiapoi High School prinicpal Bruce

Kearney, alongside other education

leaders, have lauded the changes

following yearsofwhat he believedwas

substandardeducation on New Zealand’s

foundational history.

The Aotearoa New Zealand history

curriculum willbeintroduced into

classroomsnext yearafterJacinda Ardern

firstfloatedthe programme back in 2019.

It willfocusonhistoricaltopics,

including Te Tiriti oWaitangi,the arrival

of JamesCook, land wars and colonisation.

‘‘Ithink it’s one of the bestthings we’ve

ever doneand I’msopleasedthatwe’re

doing it,’’ Mr Kearneysays.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins has

described the feedback received by the

Ministry of Educationaswideranging,

clear, and at times confronting aftera

draft curriculum was road tested lastyear.

Mr Kearney says somepupils may

initially feel uneasy.

‘‘I thinkthey’llbeapprehensive to begin

with but as we progress they’ll become

more and more excited. Traditionally over

anumber of years,we’ve taught the Treaty

Health appointment

By ROBYN BRISTOW

of Waitangi verypoorly.’’

ExBelfast School principal andchairof

the NewZealand Educational Institute

Principals Council, Peter Simpsonsays

the revamped historiescurriculum is long

overdue.

‘‘NewZealand kidsprobably know more

aboutthe colonialhistory and Great

Britain’s history,more than theirown

history,’’ he says.

Mr Simpson says he is unsure why it had

takensolong to be introduced into

schools.

‘‘Whyhas it taken the rest of our history

for [the Treaty of Waitangi]tobe

acknowledged...I don’t know,’’ he says.

‘‘If you go back, the New Zealand

11

education system is founded on the

English one. Why do kids still learn Latin,

German and French, how many are going

to end up speaking it.

‘‘TeReo is part of the curriculum and I

believethey’re goingtouse it more, 20

years from now.’’

He says there was apotential seachange

on the horizon for the South Island

when it came to greater awareness of

Kaupapa Maori.

‘‘You only have to lookatthe cultural

andkapa hakafestivals and go intoschools

today to see the kids doing waiata and

karakia to knowthere is achange

happening.

|‘‘Ithinkit’s fabulous.’’

Hanmer Springs resident, and

chartered accountant, TsarinaDellow,

has been appointed to Waitaha

Primary Health.

Tsarina, who has workedin

administrationatthe Hanmer Springs

Health centres,and alocal St John

volunteer will be the Hurunui District

Council’s Territorial Local Authority

Communityrepresentative.

She saysthere are different health

challenges and needs for rural and

urbanpeople, alongwith different

expectations.

This includesthe waiting time in a

ruralpractice, which can be longer

when an emergency casecomes in, due

to rural clinicsacting as emergency

centres as well.

“Withthe trend of urban and city

people moving outtoquieter areas

like Hanmer Springs, dealing with

differences like this comes down to

education,and managing people’s

expectations.”

Tsarina is adirector at Shore

Accounting Solutions in Amberley,a

Trustee of CommunityWellbeing

NorthCanterbury and the North

Canterbury Radio Trust (Compass

FM).

She believesthat in arural area, like

Hanmer Springs, community

connections and letting people know

thereissupport out there across all

health areas, is important.

“We need to worktogether on issues

that come up, whetherthat be access to

health facilities, or helping people

with Covid19 concernsorqueries.”

Waitaha Primary Health’s focus

‘Yourhealth,your whānau, our

community’ is to provide and support

health services in Canterbury’s rural

and urban communities, and Tsarina

is excited about beingaboard member

and part of this.

Tsarina Dellow

“I carealot aboutPrimaryhealth

care, particularlyinNorth

Canterbury’s ruralsector.”

As aboardmember,Tsarina willbe

working closely withgeneralpractices

and othercommunity basedhealth

providers, withthe aim of delivering

exceptional healthoutcomesfor

Canterbury’s people, including those

withthe greatest need.

“It’sall about connection, because

thisiswhat makes communities and

allows people to enjoytheirbest life

with goodhealth and wellbeing. It’s

aboutusall getting out and doing our

bit.”

Hurunui MayorMarie Black is

thrilled to have Tsarina represent the

district on the Waitaha Board, with

her many transferable skillsthat will

bringvalue to theorganisation.

“She will be astrong healthadvocate

for the HurunuiDistrict,” said Mayor

Black.

The high road ... The realigned Lake Sumner Road.

Lakes access open

By ROBYN BRISTOW

Lake SumnerRoad has reopened after

midFebruary’sdownpour scoured out

part of the road.

About500 metres of the road has been

realigned and moved about25metres

away from the river, up the hill.

The damagewas caused afterasection

of the road was undermined by the south

branch of the Hurunui River, after ex

Cyclone Dovidumped ahuge amountof

rain in the area causing the river to flood.

Work duringthe past six weeks has

included bulldozingatrackintothe

hillside, carting stonesfrom the river to

form anew roadbase, crushing,shaping,

and spreading crushed material,installing

new culvertstwo to three metres below the

new road surface,concretecapping them,

and carrying out concrete ford repairs.

Hurunui District Councilroading

manager KushlaTapper sayswith the new

alignment being further up the hilland

away from the river, in addition to river realignment,

the road should be much better

protected from rivererosion in the future.

“Theseworks have been asignificant

team effort,”she said.

Partnering agencies Waka Kotahi,

Environment Canterbury,Department of

Conservation, Land Information New

Zealand and thepastoral leaseholdersall

came togetherquickly, to agree on aplan

of action to reestablish accessfor the

isolated people and properties.

‘‘The location of the new roadalignment

was agreedtoquickly,’’she says. Aknown

lizardhabitat and matagouriwere

avoided.

Ms Tapper said the road has been a

sourceoffrustration for recreational users

of LakeSumner, Lake Taylor and Loch

Katrine. Major roadand reconstruction

work was done in early summer, to mop

after last winter’s major rain events.

track in Nth Canty

By DAVID HILL

Big eventsare set to return to North

With the government’s

announcement lastweek of the easing

organisers are getting on with event

planning.

Indoorevents now havea200

person limit, withnorestrictionon

numbers for outdoor events and

vaccine passes will no longerbe

Rangiora Promotions chairperson

Ross Ditmer says the announcement

has given local businesses more

certainty.

He says the Rangiora Big Splash is

set to return in June,while an Easter

egg hunt is being planned and a

springeventfor Rangiora is also in

the pipeline.

‘‘We were always intending to go

ahead with the Big Splash, unless we

couldn’t do it, so now we can.

‘‘Lastyear we raised $16,000(for

the Rangiora Stroke Club),sowe’re

putting that together again,and it

shouldbeagreat event.

‘‘Weare trying everythingtokeep

activity going in the community.

‘‘You can tell by the lack of people

down the streethow tough it is.

‘‘For businesses to survive we need

people.’’

The Easter egg huntwill involve

eggs being hiddeninshop windows

for children to find.

Rangiora Promotions is also

running a‘‘Good in the Hood’’

promotion, where shoppers receive

stickers for making apurchasewith a

localretailer.

controversialtobegin with,but when it

was votedonatthe annual conference,

everyclub supported it.’'

Tony has also been involved in

establishing anew CountryCups series of

racing to highlight popular grasstrack

racing, with a$100,000GroupOne Final

Big night out in Balcairn Hall

Last Saturday night the Balcairn Hall

buzzed with the sounds of music and

entertainment.

The Alpaca Social Club brought a

marvellous show, mostly of their own

written material to Balcairn.

Craig Denham, Jon Sanders and

special guest Cousin Alice showed their

musical skill, and unique humour, by

playing several different instruments

with great singing.

Cousin Alice gripped the audience

with her gritty, sweet and smoky voice

and mastery of different song genres.

Their international experience, gained

over the years, in places like Prague,

London, Amsterdam and Dingle.

They have also performed at several

spots along the Mosel River in Germany

was very noticeable and very much

appreciated by the audience of some 70

hardy souls.

Jon said it was their largest audience

on their current New Zealand tour which

is sponsored and delivered by the Arts on

Tour NZ Trust.

From an absolute classical Irish

musical piece written in the 1600s,

performed by John and Alice on their

ukuleles, to asong written by Craig about

an unhelpful parking warden in

Auckland, mixed with their great sense of

humour, had the audience sitting on the

edge of their seats.

In times like we are in at the moment,

it was so good, for many, to have such an

enjoyable and relaxed evening.

And as always in the Balcairn Hall, the

half time supper reminded us of good old

rural Kiwi hospitality.

Poultry club embraces technology

By DAVID HILL

North Canterbury’s poultry club is

embracing technology to overcome

Covid19.

The North Canterbury Poultry and

Pigeon Club is cohosting New Zealand’s

first virtual young bird show during

Easter with the Christchurch Poultry,

Bantam and Pigeon Club.

The club is also adopting the latest

technology as it prepares to host the

national poultry show in Rangiora next

year as part of its 125th jubilee.

Assistant secretary Sarah Wyllie says

with the uncertainty of Covid19, moving

the young bird show online made sense.

‘‘There was just so much uncertainty of

whether we were going to be able to hold

the young bird show and then hold our

winter shows, so we thought we would try

avirtual show.

‘‘It gives us aplatform in case we need

to move our winter show online at short

notice.

‘‘You’ve got far more flexibility and it’s

far easier for people outside the area to

enter.’’

The two clubs introduced the young

bird show in 2019 as away of educating

people new to breeding chooks and

encouraging new exhibitors.

The 2019 and 2021 young bird shows

were held at the Rangiora Showgrounds

and attracted between 200 and 300

entries, around half the entries at the

club’s annual North Canterbury Winter

Show.

Ms Wyllie says there has been lots of

interest already from North Island

exhibitors and from breeders throughout

the South Island.

But she admits it is not the same as a

real show.

The club hopes to be back at the

Rangiora Showgrounds for the North

Canterbury Winter Show from May 27 to

28.

For that show the club will be using the

showday.online platform for the first

time as atrial run before next year’s

national show.

Acellphone app is also being

developed that will enable stewards to

enter results instantly as soon as judges

make their decisions.

As the Christchurch club’s secretary,

Sarah Wyllie

Ms Wyllie already has experience

organising the 2017 national poultry

show.

‘‘I was new on the committee then, but

we did astella job.’’

Christchurch club president Mark

Lilley and his wife Jenny have joined Ms

Wyllie on a2023 national show

committee to help the North Canterbury

club prepare.

Ms Wyllie also hopes to create an

online platform with resources to help

new poultry breeders.

‘‘There’s so many people out there with

chooks and we get so many questions on

Facebook, so there’s aneed for educating

them on the care of chooks and problem

solving.’’

Entries for the virtual poultry show

close on April 10 with judging over

Easter. Some of the classes will be

judged by public vote on Facebook.

Entry is free, with exhibitors

submitting photos of their birds. Details

are available on the North Canterbury

Poultry and Pigeon Club’s page on

Facebook.

Arable season of two halves

By TIM CRONSHAW

Canterbury’s soggy harvest is shaping up to

be agame of twohalves for arable farmers.

Unrelentingrain lastmonth interrupted

harvesting, causing major headachesinthe

shape of sprouting, flattenedcrops, boggy

paddocks,increaseddemand for drying

facilitiesand qualityissues.

One estimate is that the whiteclover seed

crop is down by about athird as aresultof

seeds germinating,while the worst of the

milling wheat and othercrops have been

abandoned.

In contrast, grainand seedcrops brought

in before late January haveperformed well

and even aboveaverageinsome cases.

The Foundationfor ArableResearch has

come across the same gap in its trial crops.

Cereals senior researcher Jo Drummond

said this harvest had challenged growers

on many levelsand cultivar performance

trialswere no exception.

She said therewas abig difference

between crop yields, depending on when

they wereharvested.

This was shownwith acoded cultivar

calledKWW83Byielding 15.3 tonnes of

feed wheat ahectare at an irrigated site in

Wakanui whichwouldbehard to beat, she

said.

‘‘Thatwas an outstanding result

considering the season we have had. The

crops look OK for farmers who wereable to

harvest in the windowfrom early to late

January.

‘‘If things were harvested late January

onwards then that is where they have

started to struggle.

‘‘Whenthe school holidays finished the

harvest became more challenging.’’

The top cultivar was followedbyLG

Tapestry on 14.9t/haand Graham on

14.6t/ha at atrial sowninearly April on a

Jo Drummond

paddock previouslygrowingChinese

cabbage and harvestedonFebruary 18.

Average yields were 14.3t/ha, the same as

last season, and similar to the fouryear

mean of 14.7 t/ha.

Ms Drummond said some farmers were

still getting theirlate crops in so all the

results had yet to come through.

‘‘The cream had alreadybeen takenoff in

Novemberand December when we had

reduced sunshine for the grain fill period.

‘‘Anything that matured from late

January onwards is strugglinginthe

harvest conditions.’’

She said farmerswho were having to

harvest grain with ahigher moisture

content were still dealing with adrying

backlog and weremaking decisions about

which crops should get the priority.

This was made moredifficult for those

who did nothave accesstodrying facilities.

Milling wheat cropsweren’tmeeting

targets as aresult of low falling numbers

because of high moisture and weren’t

hitting protein levels or testweights, she

said.

Pay rise looming for sheep, beef farmers

By TIM CRONSHAW

Sheep and beef farmers can expect anice

pay rise this season, but off alow base.

Beef +Lamb New Zealand forecasts

the average farm profit before tax will lift

29 percent in 202122 to $116,200, which

takes into account rising inflation.

Chief economist Andrew Burtt said the

increase would be welcomed, even if it

arrived from alow figure in 202021 and

was less than farmers got in 201718,

201819 and 201920.

‘‘Strong farmgate sheep prices

underpin an 11% increase in gross farm

revenue.

‘‘Inflationary pressure is causing onfarm

costs to lift sharply with farm

expenditure forecast to increase 4.5%.’’

Gross farm revenue for the farming

year should average $667,300 per farm

with increased revenue driven mainly

from sheep, and increased revenue

coming from cattle, wool, deer, cash

crops and other revenue.

The flipside is farm spending is

estimated to increase 5% to average just

over $500,000 per farm.

Farm bills will increase in all

categories except for interest and rent.

Fertiliser, lime, and seed spending will

rise 16% to average $96,300.

The organisation’s positive midseason

outlook for global sheep meat and beef

trade, was backed by good signs in key

markets and demand projected to

continue to exceed supply.

Mr Burtt said alarger share of strong

prices in New Zealand’s export markets

was expected to flow into farmgate

returns.

‘‘Strong demand from the United

States and China has underpinned

record highs in the first quarter of the

season for both sheep meat and beef

returns, and atightening of global beef

supply has added fuel to the global beef

Andrew Burtt

market.’’

The 11% hike will lift sheep meat and

beef export receipts from last season to

$9.6 billion and be 21% higher than the

fiveyear average.

The dollar remains favourable for

exporters.

Forecasts for the value of sheep meat

exports are at arecord high and 18% up

on the fiveyear average.

Lamb export receipts are expected to

rise by 13% with volumes down 1% from

fewer lambs born last spring.

Beef and veal export revenue is

expected to be $4.9 billion, up 11%, even

though export volumes appear to decline

2% to 493,000 tonnes.

Imported beef demand in the US is

expected to be strong as aresult of its

declining beef production.

There are warning signs for red meat

trading, including Covid19 uncertainty,

high freight costs and geopolitical

Upbeat ... Beef +Lamb New Zealand chief economist Andrew Burtt’s upbeat that fortunes

are looking up for sheep and beef farmers.

tensions.

Mr Burtt said farmers were wary about

the impact of Omicron on meat

processing and their ability to move

livestock off farms, as well as the

possibility of holding livestock for longer

and needing additional feed.

‘‘Farmers remain concerned about the

speed of increasing environmental

regulation and the encroachment of

carbon forestry businesses changing the

landscape of rural communities.’’

Have Your Say on the Dra Annual Plan

Before 4April

Share your thoughts on the Council’s plan for the

coming year.

The Dra Annual Plan 2022/23 includes aproposed

4.3%ratesrise–only 0.1%higher thanpredicted–

and allows theCouncil to continue to deliverservices

at ahighleveldespite lowerthan expectedcentral

funding contributions.

Mayor Dan Gordon says the focus of this plan is on

ensuring the Council completes key community and

infrastructure projects while updating residents

about regulatory and central government changes

that will affect the Council.

Public Facilities to Drop Vaccine Passes

from 5April

From 5April Council venues and facilities will no

longer require customers to provide avaccine pass

as well as removing some other restrictions.

Chief Executive Jim Harland says the removal of

restrictions takes into account the latest health

advice and reflects the change in risk profile due to

the high levels of vaccination and natural immunity

to Covid-19.

“We always maintained that we would review the

situation, including advice from the Ministry of

Health, and watch the announcements closely so

that we can respond quickly when the situation

improves. That’s exactly what we’re doing now.”

Mayor Dan Gordon says he supports restrictions

lowering but still urges the community to not

become complacent with Covid-19.

“Putting in place restrictions was never an easy

decision for the Council to make but one based on

the information and health advice at the time.

“I urge everyone to continue to practice good

hygiene, wear masks when needed, follow the

guidance on self-isolation and show respect and

tolerance to one another.”

Full details on how Council services will be running

will be available at waimakariri.govt.nz in early April.

North Kaiapoi Water Supply

The Council have continued to carry out testing of

the water supply in north Kaiapoi since chlorine

was turned off earlier in the week.

The results so far have been good and means

the chlorination and flushing has been successful

at clearing out the material that we suspect has

slowly built up on the pipework.

We will continue to monitor the supply and keep the

community up to date. Thank you for your patience.

results to date.

Year 9/10 dean ReeseKean says the

peer support programme was

reinstatedthis year after achange to

schoolstructures.

‘‘We’ve had it in the past, but for the

last few years we’ve had verticalform

classes with amix of year 9to13s,’’he

says.

‘‘But we found it wasn’t working

because the school is getting bigger.’’

This year the school returned to

havingseparateyear 9/10and year 11

to 13 formclasses and introduced a

peer support programme as ‘‘a

positive way of welcoming new

students at year 9tothe school’’, Mr

Kean says.

‘‘It seems to be goingreally well and

the year9sare respondingwell.

‘‘You can feel the energy they’re

bringing each week.’’

This year there are 55 year 9s, more

than in previous years, with at least20

who are new to the school.

to discuss differenttopics,including

peerpressure and selfconfidence.

‘‘It’s anotherperson for the year 9s

to connect with and oftenthey will

connectdifferently to people closerin

age rather than adults,’’ Mr Keansays.

Year12pupils Elise Whitwell and

Thomas Pearce (both16) are enjoying

being peer support leaders.
