NC Mayors want hospitals reopened

By ROBYN BRISTOW

North Canterbury Mayorswant their

local hospitals reopened.

They want adate, and want to see all

those who were shifted from the

facilities due to the pressureCovid

broughttobear on operations, back in

familiar surroundings.

HurunuiMayor Marie Black says she

is staunch in her resolve to see the

WaikariHospital reopen, while

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon says

getting the Oxford Hospital up and

running again is apriority.

Four Canterbury hospitals, including

Oxfordand Waikari,were temporarily

closedinearly March, and 23 patients

and residents located to alternative

facilitiesdue to staffing concerns amid

the Omicron outbreak.

The move triggered fears from the

community the hospitals were facing

permanent closure.

But the Canterbury DistrictHealth

Board saidatthe time, those uplifted

would be backwithin six weeks of the

Omicron outbreak’speak.

But with the Government cutting

DHB’s,with the establishment of a

national health service body fromJuly 1,

it is feared the hospitalscouldbein

jeopardy.

Mrs Blackand Mr Gordon

acknowledge they have had assurances

from boardchair Sir John Hansen and

chief executive Peter Bramley, that they

will reopen, but will not be resting on

their laurels.

Mrs Blacksays the tail of the Omicron

outbreak had been longer than

expected, but she wants to see the highly

trained and professional people sitting

in hiatus, waiting for the doorsto

reopen, back at work.

‘‘These are skilled workersand need

to return to work.

‘‘Theywant to providethe servicethey

are trained to do,’’ says Mrs Black

She says one familyhas had

communication with the CDHB about

returning their mum to the Waikari

Hospital.

They were told the board anticipated

the reopening of the Waikari Hospital,

but no datehad beenput on it.

Part of the community ... Waikari Hospital has been ahomeawayfromhome for many over its more than 100 years, and locals do

not want to lose it.

While it was concerning no date was

given, it was hearteningthe large

organisation had made contact.

‘‘Wewill continue to advocate strongly

to get it open and get the occupancy up,’’

saysMrs Black.

Mr Gordon saysstrong feedback from

the community demonstrated the value

the community placed on the Oxford

Hospital, and all were keen to see it

reopen.

He says fortnightlymeetings had been

set up with the CDHB to keep the

councils briefed on progress.

This followed avideoconference with

the healthboard’s chair Sir John

Hansen, and chief executive Peter

Bramley.

Other key CDHB staff attended along

with himself, Mrs Black and Selwyn

deputyMayorMalcolm Lyall who was

concernedabout the futures of the

Ellesmere and Darfield Hospitals.

‘‘Weasked that the Friendsofour

Hospitals join the fortnightly briefings to

keepthem informed,’’ says Mr Gordon.

‘‘Friends of Oxford Hospital have been

in existence for over 100 years, and are

critical to the success of our rural

hospital.’’

Community gets in behind BBBS

By BENJAMIN GRIFFITHS

The community has come to the rescue to

help Big Brothers Big Sisters of North

Canterbury stay afloat through Covid

restrictions.

The local charitylaunched an online

appeallast month,following the

postponement of two major fundraisers,

which aleft amajorfundingshortfall.

The onlinecampaign raised$16,000 in

15 days and managerEllie Le Gros is

grateful for the community getting in

behindthe charity and helpingout in any

way possible.

‘‘It takes avillage to rise achild and

that’sthe North Canterbury community

for you. It’s such agreat community to be

apart of,’’she says.

Ellie says 13 schoolsraised money,

including holding mufti days.

Local businesses and ordinary people

alsopitched in to make adifference.

Because of Covid, Big Brothers Big

Sistershad to postpone its inaugural Big

Bounce in January and its annual Big

Breakfast, which is its biggest annual

fundraiser.

Right now the organisationhas 53

mentor matches and it takes awhole lot

of volunteers who give their timetohelp.

During Covid lockdowns and

restrictions mentors have come up with

different ways to connect with the child

theyare mentoring, suchascalling them

on the phone, playing online games or

going outdoors for walks, Elliesays.

But with demand increasing over the

pandemic, Big Brothers Big Sisters can’t

keepup.

‘‘We’re getting more enquiries now

fromparents needingsomething for their

children,but we have to say we don’t

haveenough mentors,’’trainee

mentoring coordinator OliviaEustace

says.

Ellie says the organisation’s dream

‘‘wouldbetohave amentorfor every

child that needs one’’.

Businesses who wouldlike to support

Big Brothers can either sponsor amentor

match or allow employees to take time off

to spendanhour with achild.

The organisation runs two

programmes, including the inschools

mentor programme and the community

mentoring programme.

Both have acommitment of one houra

Mt Hutt Aviation has opened anew

Rangiorabased aviation maintenance

hub.

It has expanded its MidCanterbury

Rangiora Airfield.

Mt Hutt Aviation’s new hub facility will

offermechanical and avionics

maintenance, aircraft sales and leasing,

partsand componentsales and sourcing

services for helicopters,fixedwing, and

microlightaircraft.

‘‘With Rangiora Airfieldnow seeing

40,000+ movements ayear, our expansion

to Rangiora was required to bestserve our

everexpandingcustomerbase,’’says

Andrew Duff, Mt Hutt Aviation’s Rangiora

base manager.

‘‘Previously our fixedwing and

microlight customers were servicedbyour

mobileunit. Our new baseallowsusto

take on larger and more complex work,’’

says Mr Duff.

‘‘I grew up spending time on the

Rangiora airfield, and have seen it grow

from only afew buildings to what it is

today,and lookforward to the future of

this new venture.’’

Work has alreadybegun on the

manufacture of two lightsport aircraft as

part of ajointventure between Just

Aircraft NZ and Mt HuttAviation.

Havingmechanical and avionics

given us certainty and continuity in the

production of our aircraft,’’ says John

Hood, JustAircraft NZ.

Mt Hutt Aviation holds many global

manufacturerand supplier dealerships,

mostnotably Garmin Australasia. Mt

Hutt’s large stock buying power allows it to

holdhigh leadtime parts, caused by the

ongoing impactsofCovid19,which has

Concerns for rural healthcare

By ADAM BURNS

ACanterbury

community

health service

provider

believes the

Government

is ignoring

rural

healthcare inequities despite problems

continuing to be voiced ‘‘loud and

clear’’.

Concerns continue to mount around

the omission of rural communities

within the Government’s health reform

rollout which has dismayed rural health

leaders.

The Pae Ora Healthy Futures Bill was

recently considered at aparliamentary

select committee and did not list rural

people as apriority population group.

Canterbury health service agency

Waitaha Primary Health says rural

health outcomes trail those of national

urban populations and the outcomes are

even worse for Maori.

Chief executive Bill Eschenbach

called upon the Government to

prioritise rural health in the planned

legislation and to urgently address

problems rural communities were

facing.

‘‘These inequities are not asurprise

and as an organisation we have been

proactive in working with our national

partners to ensure the voice of rural

people in terms of health outcomes is

heard loud and clear,’’ he says.

‘‘750,000 rural people generate 50

percent of New Zealand’s GDP.’’

He said rural disparities were

frequently highlighted in Heather

Simpson’s Health and Disability

Review, the same report which

proposed centralisation of the health

sector.

‘‘We note that rural disparities or

inequities were highlighted in the

review 84 times,’’ he says. ‘‘Waitaha’s

concern is that if rural is not identified

in the legislation will Health NZ and the

Maori Health Authority be accountable

for rural health outcomes.’’

There was further unease around the

current health workforce which has

‘‘retracted over recent years’’, with

access to health interventions not being

as readily available to those in rural

areas.

‘‘These two issues need to be

addressed now,’’ Mr Eschenbach says.

Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey echoed

concerns of rural voices being lost in the

transition.

‘‘As the Canterbury District Health

Board gets disestablished there is areal

threat that rural and regional voices will

be lost in this new mega health entity

run out of Wellington,’’ he says.

Four hospitals in Canterbury were

temporarily closed in March as the

Omicron outbreak bore down on the

country, sparking community fears the

move was permanent.

An after hours medical facility in

Rangiora also remains entrenched in

the planning stages after it was first

confirmed in 2020.

‘‘Waimakariri residents should be

worried that commitments to open both

afterhours and Oxford hospital could be

overlooked in the restructure,’’ Mr

Doocey says.

No ramble but $2000 donation made by Lions

The Rangiora Lions Club has donated

$2000toCommunityWellbeing North

Canterbury Trusttosupportthe mental

health and wellbeing of localfamilies,

childrenand young people.

This is despite cancellation of the club’s

annual fundraisingevent, the Ashley

RiverRamble, the proceeds fromwhich

they donatetoalocal charity.

The AshleyRiver Rambleisa12km fun

walk/run/cycle, and had its origins in 1999

as arun between Rangiora and Kaiapoi.

Andrew Cook, the club’s2nd vice

presidentand team leaderfor events, says

Rangiora Lions chose to support

CommunityWellbeing this yearbecause it

offers so manyfree services that support

the mental health and wellbeing of our

community.

‘‘There’s alot of need out there in our

community so when we were forced to

cancel theRamble because of Covid, our

membersfelt it was important to find a

way to continuetooffersupport.’’

‘‘I’m extremely grateful to Rangiora

Lions Clubfor supportingour community

and the work of the Trust despite the

cancellation of their fundraising event,’’

says Deirdre Ryan, CommunityWellbeing

Manager.

‘‘It sayssomuch aboutthe Club’s

communitymindedness. We truly could

not do what we do withoutthe support of

local clubs like Rangiora Lions.’’

The route,originally involving some

public roads, is now entirely offroad,

beginning at Waikuku Domain, along the

network of stopbanks, and finishes at the

Ashley Picnic grounds.

For the first time last year, bikeswere

abletoenterthe Ramble,starting at an

earlier timetoentrants on foot.

The event in 2020 attracted200 entries

with drink stations, spot prizes and baked

goodsdonated by ArtisanBakery.

‘‘We werevery disappointed to have to

display has its own story about the history

of the gown.Insome cases this includes a

wedding gift list, some of the gifts,and

newspaperarticles about thebig day.

The dresses were put on display for

Easter becauseitistraditionally apopular

time for weddings.

‘‘This is possibly the last time these

dresses will all be seen together,’’ Angela

says.The display, has delightedmany

visitors to the museumand will remain on

show for another month or two.

‘‘We havehad agreat response to the

display, but unfortunatelynonew

information has comeforward yet,’’ Angela

says.

The dresses are normally packed away

in special boxes to preserve them but

despite that highlevel of care five dresses

from the 1800s are startingtodeteriorate.

Response concerns

By ADAM BURNS

Thereare concerns

from the

Waimakariri District

Council arounda

‘‘local response’’to

increasing weather

events once the

managementofthree waters is handed

over.

An increase of flood and extreme

weather events has hit council’s resources

hard in recenttimes due to the subsequent

impact on local water infrastructure.

But there aresuggestions response

timestoissueswill leave the community

even more exposed, after management of

localinfrastructureisabsorbed by oneof

the four regional water entitiesaspartof

the Three Water reforms.

At last week’s councilmeeting,

councillorNiki Mealingsasked what

impact the reforms could have for a

prompt response to postevent problems

following ongoing issues with roadingand

stormwater due to the floods.

Council seniorengineering advisor Don

Youngtold Cr Mealings it was amatter of

concern aroundthe impending reforms.

‘‘If rural drainage does go over to the

entitiesthat’s goingtobeasignificant

interface issue,’’ he says.

He says greater clarity was required

around who would have delegations for

both rural and urbannetworks.

An asset managementoperations and

stormwater working group has been setup

by the Government to investigatethese

issues, Mr Young says.

‘‘It’s hugely challengingand complex.’’

Councillor Philip Redmond also

expresseddoubtsover how nimble anew

authoritywould be to stormwater issues

stemmingfrom futureevents.

‘‘AlthoughIthinkwe’re moving slowly,I

thinkitwould be even slowerunder anew

regime,’’ he says.

‘‘I think alocal response is very

important.’’

Therewas an acknowledgement from

some elected representatives of rain

events and flooding becomingmore

commonplace due to the impactofclimate

change.

Council’s roading teamiscurrently

stretchedthin and admits its struggling to

contend with the volume of service

requests.

During the Februaryflood event the

unsealedroadsaround the foothills

suffered scour, washouts and further

gravel loss.

Rainfall events and wind storms over the

past 12 months have resulted in asurge of

service requests for council’s roading

team.

More than5500 service requests were

recorded in the 2021 calendar year, more

than double of whatwas reported in the

previous year.

‘‘Theroading team as currently

resourcedare struggling to keep up with

the current volume of service requests and

to manage the backlog.

‘‘As such extra resource will be required

to continuetomanagethe higherdemand

and provide timely responses to our

community.’’

More than900 servicerequests

throughoutthe district have been recorded

between January and March.

Aprogramme of repairshas been

developed and is being delivered to

address these roads.

Atotal of $730,000 of unbudgeted costs

were approved by the council lastweek to

fund ongoing recovery of the February

floodevent.

The bulk of these costsare to replace a

culvert on Butchers Road which failed

during theFebruary 12 flood event.

Youth week marked

by launch of survey

Iwas excited to kick off Youth Week

2022 in Waimakariri with an event at

the Rangiora Town Hall on Monday

morning.

My Youth MP Hillary Cooper, and I,

launched ayouth survey for the young

people of Waimakariri to ensure their

voices are heard when she goes to

Youth Parliament in Wellington next

month.

Iamalways amazed by the talent

and intelligence of our young people,

and the way they instinctively

collaborate and listen to one another.

It was great to hear from the 18

senior student leaders from Oxford,

Kaiapoi, Rangiora and New Life High

Schools, who helped Hillary refine

her survey ahead of taking it public.

Ihave always seen great value in

supporting our younger generations to

grow and develop, and this was a

wonderful way to celebrate them.

It was good to see Spark

representative Graeme McCarrison

back to talk to residents struggling

with alack of reliable internet and

phone service, at my second public

meeting on the subject recently.

Graeme was joined by

representatives from Enable and

AmuriNet, who are currently rolling

out fibre to much of the Mandeville

area.

This project is set to be completed

by the end of the year, but Iwill

continue to fight for all those outside

the rollout area until the whole

district sees improvements.

In Wellington, I’ve been holding the

government to account on its health

reforms, at the second reading of the

Pae Ora Bill.

It is quite staggering that in the

middle of apandemic they should be

overhauling the District Health

Boards, blowing half abillion dollars

on the restructure.

But worse than that is the omission

in the report of any rural strategy.

One has to wonder what

improvements to our health services

could possibly be achieved in

provincial and rural New Zealand

with areform that doesn’t even

acknowledge those residents.

Lastly, Iwant to take the

opportunity to wish Bruce Kearney all

the very best for his new role as

principal at Rangiora High School.

It was great to attend his welcoming

ceremony last week in what was

another great example of young

people taking the lead.

Iamcertain he will bring about

great results for the school and wider

community, and we are lucky to have

kept him in the district.

Kaiapoi North School pupils have been

Zone committee visits The Pines Wetland

Heavy rain since Christmas has

been amixed blessing for the

The Pines Wetland in the

Tuhaitara Coastal Park.

The Waimakariri Zone

Committee recently held afield

trip to The Pines with Te

Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust

general manager Greg Byrnes to

discuss summer rain, the work of

the trust and projects planned

for the future.

‘‘We’ve had 300ml of rain in

the area since Christmas and

although this has helped some of

our budding plants to grow, it

has also meant that the weeds

are flourishing too,’’ Greg says.

The park covers around 700

hectares of land along the

coastline from the Waimakariri

River mouth, north to the

settlement of Waikuku Beach.

It stretches along the coast for

10.5km and comprises many

natural features of local,

regional and national

importance.

The Pines Wetland is around

44 hectares of the park and is a

priority for the trust, which is

planning to carry out weed

control in the area, to remove

the unwanted growth.

This will make way for new

plants which are set to be

installed.

Trees That Count has agreed

to donate 10,000 trees, including

Ribbonwood and cabbage trees /

ti kouka to the trust over the next

five years.

The first 2000 of these are set

to be planted by acontractor in

the coming weeks.

In January last year afire

broke out in aproperty next to

the wetland and quickly spread,

causing the destruction of many

trees, including pines, which

were in the wetland.

Despite these circumstances,

Greg is looking at the positives.

‘‘The fire gave us afresh

approach to how we want the

wetland to look going forward,’’

he says.

Afire break is now being

planned for aspace between the

wetland and neighbouring

properties to provide added

protection should another

incident occur.

‘‘Interestingly, we’ve seen an

increase in the number of whitefaced

heron occupying the

wetland since the fire, now that

the area’s much more open,’’

Greg says.

One small part of the wetland,

off Batten Grove, has been

replanted by Kaiapoi North

School children as part of their

Feast for Flight programme.

‘‘It’s been planted with species

which will attract birds, like

ones with berries and nectar,’’

Greg says.

Waimakariri Zone Committee

is keen to support the trust’s

work in the wetland, committee

member Carolyne Latham says.

Field trip ... Te Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust general manager Greg Byrnes

shows Waimakariri Zone Committee members around the wetland.

‘‘It was awesome to see what

has been done and what can be

done with alittle extra support,’’

she says.

The zone committee has

recommended the project

receive close to $15,000 for the

weed control work /mahi this

year.

It comes 10 years after the

committee first supported the

park, when it pitched to help

help fund work in the Tutaepatu

Lagoon, near Woodend.

The committee previously

recommended around $200,000

over five years in Immediate

Steps Funding for the

restoration of the 49 hectare

freshwater lagoon.

The funding supported weed

control and planting of more

than 4000 native plants

including kahikatea, New

Zealand’s tallest forest tree.

After 2015, the trust received

further Immediate Steps

Funding which supported other

projects in the park including

The Pines Wetland.

Greg says the trust is grateful

for the committee’s support and

hopes it will spark further

collaboration.

‘‘I hope the committee

considers reconnecting with the

park.

‘‘Its previous support was vital

to the restoration of the

Tutaepatu Lagoon,’’ he says.

Nurse caught in Covid nightmare

By ADAM BURNS

The Ministry of Health believes it is not to

blame for processing delays involving a

Rangiora ICUnurse,who was stooddown

for severalweeks unpaid after catching

Covid19.

CarlosMolina was leftinadesperate

situation as he waitedeight weeks, with no

income, for amedicalexemptiontobe

authorised by the Ministry.

The ICU nurseatChristchurch Hospital

caughtCovid19 in earlyMarch, on the eve

of the mandatory cutoff datefor receiving

abooster.

Just as he was set to returntowork, he

was told he was being stooddown until an

exemption had beenfinalised.

Those who have been infected are

unabletoreceiveavaccine for three

monthsafter catching the virus.

Under the Covid19 Public Health

Response Order 2021,practicing nurses

must be fully vaccinated, including

receiving aboosterwithin 6monthsof

havinghad their second jab.

Despite being informedthe process

would take aboutfivetosix working days,

Mr Molina only returned to work last

week.

‘‘There was no meansofgetting

feedback on your case, because yourfile

doesn’t haveanumber.’’

‘‘Every week Iwas being toldIwas

missing somethingonthe application...it

was very inefficient.’’

In the interim, he was forced to dipinto

savings which had beenset aside for a

familytrip to visit his elderly mother in El

Salvador.

The situation also took atoll on his

mentalhealth.

‘‘I had alot of stressand sleepless

nights,’’ he says.

‘‘It was hard having to tell the mother of

my kidsthat Icouldn’t have them this

week because Ihad no moneytofeed

them.’’

As he continued to wait, he received

support through Work and Income

(WINZ).

AMinistry spokesperson saysitdid not

receiveamedical exemption application

for Mr Molina until April 6.

The exemption was granted on April 20.

‘‘There was adelaybecausethe doctor

hadn’t sighted the positive test result and

the applicant needs to verify apositive

result before granting atemporary

medical exemption application.’’

The Ministry says thereare two options

for obtaining athree month medical

exemption, comprising of an individual

application via their medical or nurse

practitioner, or verified throughtheir

employer as agroup application.

‘‘DHBs continuetoencourage all staff

eligible for abooster to receive their

vaccinationand are makingitaseasy as

possiblefor them to do so.

The Ministry would not confirmhow

many ICU nurses had been stood down

awaiting amedical exemption.

‘‘It’s importantthat medicalexemptions

are made as easy as possible to get if

health professionals have had Covid19.’’

WaimakaririMPMatt Doocey described

the situation as ‘‘appalling’’and called for

the Ministry to take someaccountability.

‘‘In the middleofapandemic, wherewe

desperately needtohang on to our

specialist health professionals,Iwas

appalled thiswas allowedtohappen.

‘‘We all knowthe pressures on peopleat

the moment. To not be able to provide for

yourself and your familyishugely

Erin offers podiatry services in Rangiora

As aselfconfessed ‘‘shoe nerd’’, it was

not surprisingthat Erin Blundell

chose podiatry for acareer.

Erin is from asmall country town,

and chose aprofession thatdidn’t

require her to liveinthe city.

‘‘Thishas meant having to work

acrossall scopes of podiatry from

hospitalsworking with highrisk feet,

to sportsmadtowns and paediatric

issues,’’she says.

Erin has been apodiatrist since

2005, and in January 2020 opened her

own business in Rangiora North

Canterbury Podiatry.

Her roomsare upstairs in the Gables

Arcade, wherethere is alift for

clients.

She is openMonday to Friday, with

late night, and earlymorning

appointments available. Simply Ear

Care also work fromthe same

premises.

Erin was borninKalbarri,north of

Perth,inAustralia, and has worked

acrossAustralia and New Zealandin

country towns.

She moved to the Waimakariri

District in May 2010, and has two

young daughters.

Beforeopening her own business,

Erin worked for podiatrists in

Riccarton.

She is War Veteran registered, as

well as Pegasus Healthand Waitaha

Primary Health Care registered, for

eligiblepeoplewith diabetes.

Erinsays the Waimakariridistrict

has been short of podiatristsfor many

years, especially due to itsgrowth, and

since establishing her business,she

has been kept ‘‘pleasantly busy, but

not so busy that most peoplecannot

get an appointment within aweek’’.

She is grateful for the support she

has receivedsinceestablishing her

business,and believesthe central

location and parking accessibility of

her clinic helpsmeether clients

needs.

The bestpart of her jobiswhen a

‘‘simple fix’’ can createsuch big

change in keeping people moving.

‘‘That is very rewarding,’’Erin says.

She stresses that onesizefits all

advice is not the caseinpodiatry, such

as toddlers are best barefoot in the

house, but the opposite applies for

people with heel pain.

Current shoe trends oftenaffect

whatconditions show up at the clinic,

Erinsays.

‘‘Spongy soled shoesare

appropriate for people with rigid feet,

but require flexible feet to work

harder, leadingtooveruse injuries.’’

Scooting for Cancer Society ... Paul Dunn (left), Tony Kean and Caroline Whittaker with

their scooters, Cedric, Doris and Mavis.

Scooting for acause

The North CanterburySport&Recreation

Trust(NCSRT), will have astrong

presence at the upcoming TransAlpine

ScooterSafari ride from Christchurch to

Hokitika raising money for the Cancer

Society.

ThreeTrust staffmemberswill join 250

otherriders in braving the trip on their

50cc scooters, with several otherstaff

acting as their support crew along the way.

NCSRTMarketing ManagerTony Kean

lost his father, Mike,tocancer 20 years ago

and takingpart in the Scooter Safari has

been on his bucketlist for sometime as a

way to raisemoney so others avoidthe

same fate.

‘‘There's ahistory of bowel disease and

cancer in my family and my brothers and I

are on apriority list for regular

colonoscopies andearlydetection

measures,but it is important everyone has

access to screening and teststodetect all

typesofcancer as earlyaspossible.’’

Tony purchased his scooter ‘‘Doris’’ asiswhereis

several years ago,and got her

up and running, but missedthe cut on the

Scooter Safariand then the event was

cancelledlast year, before successfully

registeringthisyear.

Workmates Caroline Whittaker (NCSRT

Social Media &Events Manager) and Paul

Dunn (MainPowerStadium Facility

Manager) heard his plans and likedthe

idea so much theydecided to join in too.

Caroline alreadyhad anew scooter she

had bought last summer, but it was such a

spurofthemoment decision that Paul

actually entered the Safari without having

ascooter to ride.

Luckily he was abletofind one in parts,

which Tony helped him get up and

running, and now the trio are just afew

days away from takingonthe 250km

challenge.

‘‘We're all excited, but also alittle bit

daunted, by the trip,’’ says Tony.

‘‘We havea9hour window to get to

Hokitika, which seems like along time, but

travellingatnomore than 50km/h, and

with some big hill climbs in there,it's not

guaranteed thatwe'llmake it by any

means.

‘‘I think the biggestride Ihave done on

Doris is about 30km and to be fair she's

held together by aloose collectionof

randombolts,wire and blindfaith so it

could be amiracle if Ieven get over

Porters Pass.

‘‘But at the end of the day it'sabout

raising money for the CancerSociety and

we'll all pushour scooters to Hokitika if we

have to to achieve that goal.’’

The Scooter Safari is described as ‘‘one

of thecoldest, longest, hardest, most

gruelling tests of endurance on acity

scooter’’, but is nothing in comparison to

the challenges people faceintheir cancer

journey.

The Safariwill takeplace on May 21, and

so far thisyear the event has raised over

$185,000, but with atarget of $350,000 there

is still alot of work to do.

If you wouldlike to sponsor Tony,

CarolineorPaul please go to www.

Expectations exceeded

By ADAM BURNS

Local Democracy Reporter

The Kaikoura District Council has

exceededfinancial expectationsby

more than$2million accordingtoits

latest financial report.

Howeverunbudgeted grants and

subsidies have influenced the

favourable financial picture for the

council.

Asurplusofmore than $800,000was

recordedbycouncilinits financial

report for the ninemonths ending

March2022.

It means council is $2.1million ‘‘better

off’’againstayeartodate budgeted

deficit of $1.3 million.

The reportwas presented at last

week’s finance, auditand risk

committee meeting, with the numbers

met with pleasant surprise by

councillors.

Howeverthe Provincial GrowthFund

development projectatWakatuQuay

was highlighted as factor, including

unbudgeted revenueof$1.3 million

received in advance.

Another $500,000isunbudgeted

Mayors Taskforce for Jobs grants,

alongside a‘‘largevariance’’relating to

$222,000 of Government funding through

the Tourism Infrastructure Fund.

‘‘Theremay stillbesomeaudit

adjustmentstobecompleted once the

2021annual reportaudithas been

finalised,’’ says the report.

Revenue for the year fromratesis

downby$197,000due to the Maori

freehold landrate arrears being written

off as partofthe Whenua MaoriRating

AmendmentBill.

Employee costs are also below budget

by $216,000 against an allocation of $2.5

million.‘‘This is affected by staff

vacancies.’’ All other areas within

report says.

New homefor tennisclub

By SHELLEY TOPP

The Coldstream Tennis Club’s new

facilities point to an exciting future for

the sport in Rangiora, says the club’s

president Laurence Smith.

The new club is an amalgamation of

the Rangiora Tennis Club and the

Southbrook Tennis Club.

Both clubs sold their former assets

and combined forces to build the new

facility alongside Rangiora’s new

MainPower Stadium in Coldstream

Road.

‘‘By selling up and building anew

facility we now have have 10 courts,’’

Laurence says.

There are 8Plexipave courts and 2

Astro grass courts. Lighting will also be

installed at the new facility to allow

evening tennis.

‘‘It is amuch better facility with the

ability to host events and future proof

tennis in Rangiora,’’ he says.

‘‘Coldstream Road has become a

sporting hub for Rangiora and

Coldstream Tennis is very excited to be

included in that.’’

An area has been cleared next to the

courts for the club rooms which is

expected to take about 12 months to

build. Amodified shipping container

will be moved to the site soon to provide

club rooms during the interim.

Club members are already taking

advantage of the new courts, but

members of the wider public will also be

able to use the courts in the near future.

‘‘It is aprivate club but we want to

make the facilities accessible to the

public as well,’’ Laurence says.

‘‘People will be able to book acourt

and pay for play,’’ he says.

Aclub manager and head coach,

Stuart Chalmers, of Pegasus, has been

appointed.

Chalmers has an extensive

background at all levels of tennis, both

locally and nationally.

He has been coaching for almost 30

years and has been head coach at the

Waimairi Tennis Club, in Christchurch,

for the past 13 years.

He is also aformer New Zealand

Youth International Footballer.

Emissions taxing of agriculture

OPINION

Jamie McFadden says emission

taxing of agriculture defies logic.

Jamie is chairman of North

Canterbury based Rural Advocacy

Network and spokesman for

Groundswell. From asheep and

beef farming background, Jamie

and his wife Linda run an

environmental consultancy and

eco-sourced native plant nursery

and planting business.

Having attended the webinars, meetings

and reading the information, Iamnone

the wiser as to why the world’s most

emission efficient farmers are being taxed

for emissions, and by howmuch.

How have we gone from a2003 petition

of over 60,000people opposing the

emissions tax,toall our farminggroups

now actively assisting thegovernment to

implement an emissions tax in a

partnershipcalledHeWaka EkeNoa

(HWEN)?

The purpose of HWEN is unclear.

If theaim was to reduceglobal

emissions, then ablunt tax on the world’s

most emission efficientfood producers

would notsee the lightofday.

The publicity also states thepurposeof

HWEN was to come up with an emissions

tax optionthat was better than the ETS.

Seems it is nothing to do withbeing

visionary,achieving environmental

outcomes or effective,efficient policy–it

ismainly about how to emission tax

farmers in the nicest way possible.

This wouldexplainthe sales pitch,

which was to makefarmers so fearful of

the dreaded ETS thatthey would choose

an almostequally flawed option simply on

the grounds of it being soldasless

repugnant.

To seal the HWEN emissions tax deal,

some sweeteners havebeen thrownin.

The first is that the two HWEN options

allow farmingrepresentatives to be at the

‘‘advisory board’’ table with the

government.

The problemwiththis ‘‘wemustalways

be at the table’’ thinking is that farmersare

alwaysonthe menu,and is why we now

have so many unworkable regulations.

The second sweetener is the promise of

sequestration credits.

However, these havebeen massively

overstated. Read the fine print and most

nativebush, riparian plantings and exotics

will notqualify.

Idon’t everrecallinmy25years of

submission processes not knowing what a

proposal was going to cost me.

There is insufficient cost benefit,

Spotlight on exotics

More work needs to be done to address

concerns over the increasing amount

of exotic carbon forestry, Beef +Lamb

New Zealand (BLNZ)says.

In its submission to the

Government’s consultation on

proposalsthat aim to limit the

increasingamount of plantings across

New Zealand, particularlyon

productivesheep and beef farmland,

BLNZ worked closely with DairyNZ

and Federated Farmerstoensure

theirsubmissions wereclosely

aligned.

BLNZ chief executive Sam McIvor

says the increasingrate of exotic

carbon forestryplanting on productive

farmland needs urgentaction, but it’s

equally important that the right action

is taken.

‘‘We applaud the Governmentfor the

intent behind this consultation to limit

carbononlyfarming by limiting exotic

forestry in the permanent category of

the ETS.

‘‘However we don’tthink this

proposal will go far enough to stopthe

deeply concerningnumber of farms

beingsold intoforestry and to address

the gutting of rural communities.’’

Mr McIvorsays the proposal is

‘‘tinkering around the edges’’.

‘‘We need to see afundamental

decision about how we use trees in

transitioning to alow emissions future.

‘‘Ourposition remainsthat we need

to see specific limits in the ETS on the

amount of offsetting fossil fuelemitters

can do –inline with what happens in

othercountries internationally.

‘‘We also havequestions about the

specific design of the proposal to

remove exotic trees from the

permanent categoryrelatingtothe

feasibility of implementing what’s

proposed,and concerns about the lack

of detail aroundcrucial aspects within

the proposalsuch as an exemptions

regime.’’

Jamie McFadden

we have no idea what the administration

costtofarmerswill be.

Throw in the DairyNZpredetermination

issue, and if this was acouncil

consultation process it would have been

thrown out by the courts for multiple

process failures.

In summary, if the goal is environmental

outcomes and reducing globalemissions,

thenthere is no place for the current

HWEN or ETS emissions tax options.

Groundswellare seekingfarmer and

public support for an alternative solution

that takesapractical,integrated approach

including emissions. No morepoliciesin

We advocate for afocus on

environmentaloutcomes and actions on

thegroundtailored to each individual

farm and catchment. More information is

on our website.

Sam McIvor, BLNZ chief executive.

In the meantime, BLNZ is callingfor

amoratorium on allowing exotic

forests entry into the ETS underthe

permanent forest category for at least

two years.

This allowstime to develop policy

mechanismstoaddress the concerns,

such as potential exemptionsora

standardsregime for that category and

limitsonforestry offsetting.

Mr McIvor acknowledges a

moratorium would impact the ability

for more desirable integrated

plantings to enter into thiscategory,

such as poplar or willowplanting for

erosion control.

It alsoimpactsonsome landowners’

(especiallyiwi) desires to establish

exoticplantings which then transition

to native forest overtime.

‘‘However we believe this

moratorium would providetime to get

the rulesright so we can best provide

for theseactivities.

‘‘To be clear, we can see arole for

support this.

Life membership surprise for Chris

By DAVID HILL

Receiving alife membership

was apleasant surprise for

Chris Sundstrum last week.

The former Federated

Farmers North Canterbury

president received a

provincial life membership of

the organisation at its annual

meeting at Leeston on

Wednesday, May 4.

‘‘It was abit of asurprise. I

didn’t have aclue. It catches

you abit on the hop,’’ Mr

Sundstrum says.

‘‘It’s an organisation that we

all need and it does alot for

the country that most people

don’t realise and unless you

get involved you don’t find

out.’’

Mr Sundstrum made his

mark during 25 years in the

mohair industry, while based

on alifestyle block on South

Eyre Road, near Oxford.

While he has now retired

into Christchurch, he

continues to have an interest

in the mohair industry in an

advisory capacity and remains

passionate about the wider

rural sector.

‘‘I’m very passionate about

New Zealand people and my

forte is that we all need each

other. My passion is to try to

get people to understand each

other.

‘‘Now that I’m stuck in town,

I’m amongst adifferent crowd

but Ifind that there’s afair bit

of connection between rural

and urban, but the only ones

who speak up are the ‘antis’.’’

The son of adoctor, Mr

Sundstrum was born and bred

in Christchurch before

studying at what was then

Lincoln College.

‘‘I grew up in town, but I

always wanted to get into

farming. It’s all I’ve ever

wanted to do.’’

After university he spent a

few years working in England,

before returning to New

Zealand where he worked

mainly on farms before getting

into the Mohair industry.

While he just had asmall

goat herd, mohair fleeces from

all over the country went

through his store.

His mohair connections

took him on several trips to

South Africa, to the home of

the breed around Port

Elizabeth.

‘‘The mohair fleece is very

popular. The Japanese in

Mr Sundstrum was

‘‘You meet alot of

Among the highlights of his

time as president was visiting

often aforgotten part of the

province.

Vacancies for young farmers on Feds exec

By DAVID HILL

The Federated Farmers North

Canterbury provincial executive is keen

to hear from young farmers interested in

having aseat at the board table.

Following last Wednesday’s annual

meeting, held at Leeston, president

Caroline Amyes is keen to hear from

anyone interesting in stepping into the

meat and wool chairperson and arable

chairperson roles.

‘‘We encourage people to come along

and see what we are about. It’s agreat

opportunity to build some connections

other than in your local community,’’ Ms

Amyes says.

‘‘We are doing some important work

and it’s about making sure their voices

are represented at the table.

‘‘We are quite ayoung executive and

we try to have some fun, so it’s acool

place to be.’’

The dairy sector is well represented on

the board, with new senior vicepresident

Karl Dean, aLeeston

sharemilker, continuing in his role as

dairy chairperson, while Cheviot

sharemilker Rebecca Green is junior

vicepresident and dairy vicechairperson.

‘‘My goal was to have an election when

Ieventually stand down as president, so

Imight be on the right track,’’ says Ms

Amyes, who had her arm twisted to step

up as president last year, after just six

months on the board.

Members paid tribute to outgoing meat

and wool chairperson and Cheviot

Caroline Amyes

farmer Daniel Maxwell, who stood down

at the AGM after four years in the role.

‘‘It’s sad to see him go, but he will stay

on to support the next person, whoever

that maybe. Hopefully we will find

someone soon,’’ Ms Amyes says.

Mr Maxwell is staying on the board in

an advisory capacity and as the

Federated Farmers representative on

the North Canterbury Fish and Game

executive.

There is plenty of experience around

the board table, with past presidents

Chris Sundstrum and Pam Richardson

regularly attending meetings, Ms Amyes

says.

Immediate pastpresident Cam

Henderson is also continuing to play a

role as Federated Farmers

representative in the He Waka Eke Noa

Primary Sector Climate Action

Partnership discussions.

Three special awards were also

presented at Wednesday’s AGM,

including provincial life memberships to

Mr Sundstrum and Mrs Richardson.

Banks Peninsula farmer George

Macefield received an outstanding

service award for his efforts in

supporting the community after last

year’s flooding.

Local bulls set to go under the hammer

By DAVID HILL

There is plenty of optimism

ahead of the region’s bull sales.

If the recent calf sales are

anything to go by, there should

be plenty of demand for bulls

this year, Hazlett auctioneer

Allister Orchard says.

‘‘It’s early yet, but everyone

has had apretty good run at the

calf sales, so that usually

follows on into the bull

market,’’ he says.

Record sheep and beef meat

prices and the favourable

weather conditions in North

Canterbury have all added to

farmer confidence.

‘‘It will be interesting. In

some areas cow numbers are

back abit, so it depends on how

many bulls they need,’’ Mr

Orchard says.

‘‘Farmers are very optimistic

at the moment and the outlook

is looking positive for beef and

lamb.

‘‘There has been an issue for

killing space because the works

have been impacted by Covid,

but we have been fortunate in

North Canterbury to have

plenty of feed around.’’

Farmers usually expect to get

agood three to four years of

breeding out of their bulls, but

it can depend on bull health

and injuries.

While bull sales are under

way in the North Island and a

sale was held in South

Canterbury last week, the first

of several North Canterbury

sales will be held on June 9.

In the ring ... Sam and Vicki Holland hosted asuccessful sale with

their Hemingford Charolais bulls last year.

PHOTOS:FILE

North Canterbury bull walks

will be held on Thursday, May

26, allowing farmers the

opportunity to get asneek

preview of the bulls.

‘‘It allows guys to go and have

look at the bulls presale so they

can mark them down, but alot

just turn up on the day of the

sale,’’ Mr Orchard says.

‘‘Most of them will know what

they’re looking for.’’

New winter grazing rules

Changes to winter grazingrules aregood

newsfor farmers, say primary sector

groups.

DairyNZand Beef +Lamb New

Zealandhave both welcomed the changes

announcedbythe government last week.

Theamendments willrequire grazed

annual forage croppaddockstoberesownassoon

as conditionsallow, instead

of by aset date.

Specific requirementsaround the

depth of pugging have been removed and

replaced with aduty for farmerstotake

practicable stepstominimisethe effects

of pugging on freshwater.

Anew condition hasbeenadded where

critical source areas in wintercrop

paddocks will need to be identified and

not cultivatedorgrazed.

The regulations have been changed in

relation to slopefrom ameanslope of 10

degrees to amaximum slope of 10

degrees.

The changestakeeffectfrom November

1, in time for preparations fornext year’s

winter grazing.

It meansfarmers can proceed withthis

winter’s forage crop grazing as planned.

DairyNZgeneral managerfor

sustainable dairy, Dr David Burger, says

the changes address farmer concerns that

the ruleswere impractical,unclear and

wouldn’t improve environmental or

animal welfare outcomes.

‘‘Farmersand thecommunity both want

to see improvements in wintergrazing

practices and farmersare committed to

delivering that on farms.

‘‘We’re pleased the Government has

listened to feedback andamended the

new rules so they're practical and

informed by goodscience, so will actually

deliver betteroutcomes.’’

BLNZ chief executive Sam McIvor says

an initial review of the amended rules

shows there is good newsfor farmers, but

he is disappointedsome of the changes

sought were not implemented.

‘‘Weengaged closely with the

Government throughoutthis process and

are pleased to see thatmuch of our

feedback has been incorporated into the

final legislation, particularlyaround

pugging, resowing dates and critical

source areas.’’

Greenpeace says the Government has

‘‘caved in’’tointensive dairy and has

missed an opportunity to improve

environmental management and animal

welfare.

This year’sfeature competition is

Ashley right on song at Loburn

RUGBY

By PETER WILLIAMS

Two of the lowerranked North

Canterbury sides,Ashley and Ohoka,

both registered their first wins in the

fourth round of the combined Luisetti

Seeds rugby competition, while

GlenmarkCheviot and Saracens

maintained their momentum with good

wins.

Kaiapoi, though,lost its unbeaten

record, succumbing to Celtic in adour

affair.

AshleyvOxford

Ashley had piled on 32 unanswered

points, and already claimed their bonus

point beforeOxford scored aconverted

trybyarguably theirhardestworker,

Liam Stevenson, just before half time. It

was an impressive display by an onsong

Ashley outfitwhich had promisedto

deliver aperformance like this for some

time.

It was more of the same in the second

half –Ashley finished with nine tries to

its credit and it was not until the last10

minutes, withthe game welland truly in

the bag thatthe Ashley performance

started to get alittle ragged, andOxford

rallied to score two consolation tries

which gave the scoreline amodicum of

respectability.

All the kudos must go to Ashley. Its

forward pack, withMatt Kippenberger,

Louis James, MattKing and Nic Sim all

turning on topshelf performances,

dominated allphases of the possession

battle and at times completely

annihilated Oxford at scrumtime,

winning astring of tightheads.

Halfback Tyler Power no doubt

appreciated getting so much quality

ball,but it was his speedy and accurate

delivery of that possession that really set

alight atalented backline. AllofAshley’s

backs had excellent games, keeping the

errors to aminimum. The shining star

was centre AnthonyTavendale who had

ahand in manyofAshley’s triesand

scored ahattrick. He sliced the Oxford

defence to shreds, seemingly at will.

With pointsin this matchdoubling for

both the Luisetti Seeds Combined and

the North Canterbury only competitions,

the five points Ashleydeservedly

secured puts it in astrong position in the

North Canterbury competition, but its

probably left its run too late to nail down

aspot in the combined quarter finalson

June 4.

Ashley 56 (Anthony Tavendale (3), Louis

James (2), Luke Gold, Jack Marshall,

Korbyn Gray, Ben Wicksteed, tries;

Marshall, one penalty, two conversions,

Korbyn Gray two conversions) beat

Oxford 19 (Liam Stevenson, Jireh

Vunibaka, Sam Freeman tries, Matt

Roberts 2conversions).

OhokavRakaia

The match at Mandevilledid not reach

any great heights,with both teams

making alot of mistakes. Ohoka would

have been pleasedtonotch up its first

win of the season, however. This time it

didn’t surrender its halftime lead as it

has done more than once this season.

Ohoka could thank its loose forward

trio of Tom Taylor, Sam Powell and, in

particular, Ben Gold for laying the

platform for the team’s success.

Gold was everywhere, making vital

tackles, securing turnover ball and

cover defending tigerishly all day. At

fiveeighth Paddy McCallum directed

play with aplomb, and chose the right

time to feed his centres, Scott Allin and

Blain O’Loughlin.

Their probing runs concerned

Rakaia’s defenders as did George

Wiggins, playing hiss 100th gamefor the

Leading from the front ... Ashley’s captain, Louis James, on his way to scoring one of his

two tries.

Ohoka 35 (George Wiggins, Tom

Taylor, George Wedlake, Tom Wedlake,

tries ScottAllin 3penalties and three

conversions) beat Rakaia 18.

Saracens vHornby

While Saracens was first on the board

with an early try to Alex Kennedy,

Hornby hit backstrongly putting

Saracens under pressure by usingits big

forwards to find holes around the rucks.

Hornby managed to hit the front with a

coupleoftries beforeSaracens regrouped

and settled into its work, eventually getting

some quality ball for the backs who found

space and scoredsome good tries.

Fullback, Harry Murray bagged four of

them, aperformance which netted him the

club’s Player of the Day award.Halfback

Oscar Burney was another to impress.

In the forwards, club stalwart, Willy

Kerr turned inhis usual wholehearted

effort playing his 150th game for this team.

Saracens appeartobethe form side of the

competitionpiling on amammoth265

pointsinfour matches whileconceding

only 41.

Its last three opponents however, have

been the three bottom teamsinthe

section.

It now needstobeat the other unbeaten

side Springston, in an away game next

Saturday, to set itself up for the playoffs.

Saracens 62 (Harry Murray(4), Alex

Kennedy, Oscar Burney, Matt Freeman,

Ricky Allin, SladeDay triesAllin 7

conversions,1 penalty) beat Hornby10.

Rolleston vGlenmark

Cheviot

Although Rolleston opened the scoring in

just the fourth minute, that proved to be its

only points of the match. Glenmark

Cheviot proceededto run in 11 tries in the

processof amassing 71 unanswered

points.

Caleb Beck had aparticularlystrong

game at first five, scoring acouple of tries

and havingahandyday with the boot also.

Angus Gibb carried hard all day while as

always, Jacob Vincent had astrong game

in the loose.

Rolleston 7lost to GlenmarkCheviot 71

(Jordan Gray, Caleb Beck (2),Jacob

Vincent, BlairNorton (2), AngusGibb,

Corrigan Harnett (2) Max Murray, Matt

Holmes tries; Beck 8conversions).

WaihoravHurunui

In amatch played at Tai Tapu on Thursday

night it was immediately apparentthat the

local Waihora sidewas determined to

avengethe previous week’s heavy defeat

to GlenmarkCheviot. It scored two tries in

the first 10 minutes –but it was the only

tries scoredall match.

This 140 lead was never seriously

threatened, althoughHurunui had the

best of the territorial battle for the rest of

the first halfenabling Digby Heard to

narrow the margin with two penaltygoals.

The second half was all about defence

with Waihora’s line speedand tackle

accuracy snuffing out Hurunui’s attempts

to close the gap.

Hurunui playedmuch of the rest of the

game deep in its own half, but its defensive

patternsstood up to the test restricting

Waihora to just two furtherpenalty goals.

Nordy Anderson and Will Jamieson

were standouts in the tight for Hurunui,

while young halfback Luke Hume, in his

debutmatch, directed play efficiently.

Waihora 20beat Hurunui 6(Digby Heard

2penalties).

Woodend vSouthbridge

The unbeaten Southbridgeside was

always in control.

It had already scored threetries before

centre, Ethan Hobbs got Woodend on the

board midwaythrough the first spell. By

half time Southbridge had stretched the

lead to 295.

While Southbridge ran in four further

secondhalf tries, makingitnine in total,

Woodend kept its best to last with hooker

Aaron Karauria, who had astrong game,

and Jayden Stokeseach dotting downin

the last quarter to close the margin up a

little.

Woodend17(EthanHobbs, Aaron

Karauria, Jayden Stokes tries, Aidan

Wakefield 1conversion) lostto

Southbridge55.

Kaiapoi vCeltic

Previously unbeaten, Kaiapoi’s stocks took

amajor hammeringwhen it lost ahome

match to Celtic, 1510. It led 75 at halftime,

courtesy of apenalty try on the hooter from

an attempted pushover try, but couldonly

add asole penalty goal in the second half.

It was alethargic performance by

Kaiapoi. The turning point cameinthe

61st minute when aKaiapoi kick into

Celtic’s territory was gathered and put to

the toe. Celtic’s speedy wingerRaitubi

Vasarakuta won the race to the ball to

score adjacenttothe posts. Codey Grimes,

playing out of position at first fiveeighth

handledthe emergency assignment

capably as did Zane Carey, usuallya

flanker,who put up his hand to play at

lock.

Kaiapoi 10 (apenaltytry, TaineJacobs

Lawson apenalty) lost to Celtic 15.

Section 2ofthe compeittion is

congested. There are no unbeatenteams

and only two points separatethe top five

teams on the points table. Kaiapoi is now

staring at the dauntingtask of beating

three of the othertop 4teams over the next

three weeks, starting withamouthwateringclash

against GlenmarkCheviot

side on Kaiapoi’s Club day on Saturday.
