NC <strong>May</strong>ors want hospitals reopened<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>May</strong>orswant their<br />
local hospitals reopened.<br />
They want adate, and want to see all<br />
those who were shifted from the<br />
facilities due to the pressureCovid<br />
broughttobear on operations, back in<br />
familiar surroundings.<br />
Hurunui<strong>May</strong>or Marie Black says she<br />
is staunch in her resolve to see the<br />
WaikariHospital reopen, while<br />
Waimakariri <strong>May</strong>or Dan Gordon says<br />
getting the Oxford Hospital up and<br />
running again is apriority.<br />
Four <strong>Canterbury</strong> hospitals, including<br />
Oxfordand Waikari,were temporarily<br />
closedinearly March, and 23 patients<br />
and residents located to alternative<br />
facilitiesdue to staffing concerns amid<br />
the Omicron outbreak.<br />
The move triggered fears from the<br />
community the hospitals were facing<br />
permanent closure.<br />
But the <strong>Canterbury</strong> DistrictHealth<br />
Board saidatthe time, those uplifted<br />
would be backwithin six weeks of the<br />
Omicron outbreak’speak.<br />
But with the Government cutting<br />
DHB’s,with the establishment of a<br />
national health service body fromJuly 1,<br />
it is feared the hospitalscouldbein<br />
jeopardy.<br />
Mrs Blackand Mr Gordon<br />
acknowledge they have had assurances<br />
from boardchair Sir John Hansen and<br />
chief executive Peter Bramley, that they<br />
will reopen, but will not be resting on<br />
their laurels.<br />
Mrs Blacksays the tail of the Omicron<br />
outbreak had been longer than<br />
expected, but she wants to see the highly<br />
trained and professional people sitting<br />
in hiatus, waiting for the doorsto<br />
reopen, back at work.<br />
‘‘These are skilled workersand need<br />
to return to work.<br />
‘‘Theywant to providethe servicethey<br />
are trained to do,’’ says Mrs Black<br />
She says one familyhas had<br />
communication with the CDHB about<br />
returning their mum to the Waikari<br />
Hospital.<br />
They were told the board anticipated<br />
the reopening of the Waikari Hospital,<br />
but no datehad beenput on it.<br />
Part of the community ... Waikari Hospital has been ahomeawayfromhome for many over its more than 100 years, and locals do<br />
not want to lose it.<br />

While it was concerning no date was<br />
given, it was hearteningthe large<br />
organisation had made contact.<br />
‘‘Wewill continue to advocate strongly<br />
to get it open and get the occupancy up,’’<br />
saysMrs Black.<br />
Mr Gordon saysstrong feedback from<br />
the community demonstrated the value<br />
the community placed on the Oxford<br />
Hospital, and all were keen to see it<br />
reopen.<br />
He says fortnightlymeetings had been<br />
set up with the CDHB to keep the<br />
councils briefed on progress.<br />
This followed avideoconference with<br />
the healthboard’s chair Sir John<br />
Hansen, and chief executive Peter<br />
Bramley.<br />
Other key CDHB staff attended along<br />
with himself, Mrs Black and Selwyn<br />
deputy<strong>May</strong>orMalcolm Lyall who was<br />
concernedabout the futures of the<br />
Ellesmere and Darfield Hospitals.<br />
‘‘Weasked that the Friendsofour<br />
Hospitals join the fortnightly briefings to<br />
keepthem informed,’’ says Mr Gordon.<br />
‘‘Friends of Oxford Hospital have been<br />
in existence for over 100 years, and are<br />
critical to the success of our rural<br />
hospital.’’<br />

The community has come to the rescue to<br />
help Big Brothers Big Sisters of <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> stay afloat through Covid<br />
restrictions.<br />
The local charitylaunched an online<br />
appeallast month,following the<br />
postponement of two major fundraisers,<br />
which aleft amajorfundingshortfall.<br />
The onlinecampaign raised$16,000 in<br />
15 days and managerEllie Le Gros is<br />
grateful for the community getting in<br />
behindthe charity and helpingout in any<br />
way possible.<br />
‘‘It takes avillage to rise achild and<br />
that’sthe <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> community<br />
for you. It’s such agreat community to be<br />
apart of,’’she says.<br />
Ellie says 13 schoolsraised money,<br />
including holding mufti days.<br />
Local businesses and ordinary people<br />
alsopitched in to make adifference.<br />
Because of Covid, Big Brothers Big<br />
Sistershad to postpone its inaugural Big<br />
Bounce in January and its annual Big<br />
Breakfast, which is its biggest annual<br />
fundraiser.<br />
Right now the organisationhas 53<br />
mentor matches and it takes awhole lot<br />
of volunteers who give their timetohelp.<br />
During Covid lockdowns and<br />
restrictions mentors have come up with<br />
different ways to connect with the child<br />
theyare mentoring, suchascalling them<br />
on the phone, playing online games or<br />
going outdoors for walks, Elliesays.<br />
But with demand increasing over the<br />
pandemic, Big Brothers Big Sisters can’t<br />
keepup.<br />
‘‘We’re getting more enquiries now<br />
fromparents needingsomething for their<br />
children,but we have to say we don’t<br />
haveenough mentors,’’trainee<br />

Ellie says the organisation’s dream<br />
‘‘wouldbetohave amentorfor every<br />
child that needs one’’.<br />
Businesses who wouldlike to support<br />
Big Brothers can either sponsor amentor<br />
match or allow employees to take time off<br />
to spendanhour with achild.<br />
The organisation runs two<br />
programmes, including the inschools<br />
mentor programme and the community<br />
mentoring programme.<br />
Both have acommitment of one houra<br />

Rangiorabased aviation maintenance<br />
hub.<br />
It has expanded its Mid<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
operations to asecond facility based at<br />
Rangiora Airfield.<br />
Mt Hutt Aviation’s new hub facility will<br />
offermechanical and avionics<br />
maintenance, aircraft sales and leasing,<br />
partsand componentsales and sourcing<br />
services for helicopters,fixedwing, and<br />
microlightaircraft.<br />
‘‘With Rangiora Airfieldnow seeing<br />
40,000+ movements ayear, our expansion<br />
to Rangiora was required to bestserve our<br />
everexpandingcustomerbase,’’says<br />
Andrew Duff, Mt Hutt Aviation’s Rangiora<br />
base manager.<br />
‘‘Previously our fixedwing and<br />
microlight customers were servicedbyour<br />
mobileunit. Our new baseallowsusto<br />
take on larger and more complex work,’’<br />
says Mr Duff.<br />
‘‘I grew up spending time on the<br />
Rangiora airfield, and have seen it grow<br />
from only afew buildings to what it is<br />
today,and lookforward to the future of<br />
this new venture.’’<br />
Work has alreadybegun on the<br />

Concerns for rural healthcare<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
A<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
community<br />
health service<br />
provider<br />
believes the<br />
Government<br />
is ignoring<br />
rural<br />
healthcare inequities despite problems<br />
continuing to be voiced ‘‘loud and<br />
clear’’.<br />
Concerns continue to mount around<br />
the omission of rural communities<br />
within the Government’s health reform<br />
rollout which has dismayed rural health<br />
leaders.<br />
The Pae Ora Healthy Futures Bill was<br />
recently considered at aparliamentary<br />
select committee and did not list rural<br />
people as apriority population group.<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> health service agency<br />
Waitaha Primary Health says rural<br />
health outcomes trail those of national<br />
urban populations and the outcomes are<br />
even worse for Maori.<br />
Chief executive Bill Eschenbach<br />
called upon the Government to<br />
prioritise rural health in the planned<br />
legislation and to urgently address<br />
problems rural communities were<br />
facing.<br />
‘‘These inequities are not asurprise<br />
and as an organisation we have been<br />
proactive in working with our national<br />
partners to ensure the voice of rural<br />
people in terms of health outcomes is<br />
heard loud and clear,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘750,000 rural people generate 50<br />
percent of New Zealand’s GDP.’’<br />
He said rural disparities were<br />
frequently highlighted in Heather<br />
Simpson’s Health and Disability<br />
Review, the same report which<br />
proposed centralisation of the health<br />
sector.<br />
‘‘We note that rural disparities or<br />

inequities were highlighted in the<br />
review 84 times,’’ he says. ‘‘Waitaha’s<br />
concern is that if rural is not identified<br />
in the legislation will Health NZ and the<br />
Maori Health Authority be accountable<br />
for rural health outcomes.’’<br />
There was further unease around the<br />
current health workforce which has<br />
‘‘retracted over recent years’’, with<br />
access to health interventions not being<br />
as readily available to those in rural<br />
areas.<br />
‘‘These two issues need to be<br />
addressed now,’’ Mr Eschenbach says.<br />
Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey echoed<br />
concerns of rural voices being lost in the<br />
transition.<br />
‘‘As the <strong>Canterbury</strong> District Health<br />
Board gets disestablished there is areal<br />
threat that rural and regional voices will<br />
be lost in this new mega health entity<br />
run out of Wellington,’’ he says.<br />
Four hospitals in <strong>Canterbury</strong> were<br />
temporarily closed in March as the<br />
Omicron outbreak bore down on the<br />
country, sparking community fears the<br />
move was permanent.<br />
An after hours medical facility in<br />
Rangiora also remains entrenched in<br />
the planning stages after it was first<br />
confirmed in 2020.<br />
‘‘Waimakariri residents should be<br />
worried that commitments to open both<br />
afterhours and Oxford hospital could be<br />
overlooked in the restructure,’’ Mr<br />
Doocey says.<br />

The Rangiora Lions Club has donated<br />
$2000toCommunityWellbeing <strong>North</strong><br />

the mental health and wellbeing of our<br />

cancellation of their fundraising event,’’<br />

It is hoped that aweddingdress display at<br />

says.The display, has delightedmany<br />
visitors to the museumand will remain on<br />

‘‘We havehad agreat response to the<br />

Response concerns<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
Thereare concerns<br />
from the<br />
Waimakariri District<br />
Council arounda<br />
‘‘local response’’to<br />
increasing weather<br />
events once the<br />
managementofthree waters is handed<br />
over.<br />
An increase of flood and extreme<br />
weather events has hit council’s resources<br />
hard in recenttimes due to the subsequent<br />
impact on local water infrastructure.<br />
But there aresuggestions response<br />
timestoissueswill leave the community<br />
even more exposed, after management of<br />
localinfrastructureisabsorbed by oneof<br />
the four regional water entitiesaspartof<br />
the Three Water reforms.<br />
At last week’s councilmeeting,<br />
councillorNiki Mealingsasked what<br />
impact the reforms could have for a<br />
prompt response to postevent problems<br />
following ongoing issues with roadingand<br />
stormwater due to the floods.<br />
Council seniorengineering advisor Don<br />
Youngtold Cr Mealings it was amatter of<br />
concern aroundthe impending reforms.<br />
‘‘If rural drainage does go over to the<br />
entitiesthat’s goingtobeasignificant<br />
interface issue,’’ he says.<br />
He says greater clarity was required<br />
around who would have delegations for<br />
both rural and urbannetworks.<br />
An asset managementoperations and<br />
stormwater working group has been setup<br />
by the Government to investigatethese<br />
issues, Mr Young says.<br />
‘‘It’s hugely challengingand complex.’’<br />
Councillor Philip Redmond also<br />
expresseddoubtsover how nimble anew<br />
authoritywould be to stormwater issues<br />
stemmingfrom futureevents.<br />
‘‘AlthoughIthinkwe’re moving slowly,I<br />
thinkitwould be even slowerunder anew<br />
regime,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘I think alocal response is very<br />
important.’’<br />
Therewas an acknowledgement from<br />
some elected representatives of rain<br />
events and flooding becomingmore<br />
commonplace due to the impactofclimate<br />
change.<br />
Council’s roading teamiscurrently<br />
stretchedthin and admits its struggling to<br />
contend with the volume of service<br />
requests.<br />
During the Februaryflood event the<br />
unsealedroadsaround the foothills<br />
suffered scour, washouts and further<br />
gravel loss.<br />
Rainfall events and wind storms over the<br />
past <strong>12</strong> months have resulted in asurge of<br />
service requests for council’s roading<br />
team.<br />
More than5500 service requests were<br />
recorded in the 2021 calendar year, more<br />
than double of whatwas reported in the<br />
previous year.<br />
‘‘Theroading team as currently<br />
resourcedare struggling to keep up with<br />
the current volume of service requests and<br />
to manage the backlog.<br />
‘‘As such extra resource will be required<br />
to continuetomanagethe higherdemand<br />
and provide timely responses to our<br />
community.’’<br />
More than900 servicerequests<br />
throughoutthe district have been recorded<br />
between January and March.<br />
Aprogramme of repairshas been<br />
developed and is being delivered to<br />
address these roads.<br />
Atotal of $730,000 of unbudgeted costs<br />
were approved by the council lastweek to<br />
fund ongoing recovery of the February<br />
floodevent.<br />
The bulk of these costsare to replace a<br />
culvert on Butchers Road which failed<br />
during theFebruary <strong>12</strong> flood event.<br />

Budding entrepreneurs, living or<br />
working in Kaikoura, will have the<br />
opportunity to attend afree 10 day<br />
online business course next month.<br />
Destination Kaikoura has partnered<br />
with the <strong>May</strong>ors Taskforce for Jobs and<br />
the Ministry of Social Development to<br />
bring the Rebel Business School<br />
Aotearoa to Kaikoura as part of its<br />
economic and social development<br />
initiative in the wake of Covid19.<br />
The course will take place from June<br />
27 to July 8.<br />
Over 10 days Rebel Business School<br />
will deliver 20 workshops designed to<br />
equip participants with the tools they<br />
need to start their own business.<br />
Topics include building awebsite for<br />
free, business structure and<br />
compliance, social media and<br />
marketing, and how to start abusiness<br />
with no money.<br />
The course does away with traditional<br />
thinking by replacing business plans<br />
with actionable, nocost steps.<br />
The course is free to participants who<br />
need only to commit to the ten days of<br />
the course and then, only during school<br />
hours.<br />
‘‘Small business is really important to<br />
the New Zealand economy 97percent<br />
of New Zealand businesses employ up to<br />
20 people and this represents 60% of all<br />
jobs in New Zealand,’’ Ministry of Social<br />
Development national manager<br />
industry partnerships, Amanda Nicolle,<br />
says.<br />
‘‘We actively encourage people to<br />
make that step of getting on their small<br />
business journey and attend the Rebel<br />
Business School.’’<br />
The Rebel Business School was<br />
brought to New Zealand from the United<br />
Kingdom in 2017 by Tony Henderson<br />

The first course ran in Porirua in<br />
October 2017 and has now been held in<br />
various centres and regions throughout<br />
the country.<br />
‘‘So far over 1000 participants have<br />
attended and formed avast array of<br />
product and service related businesses<br />
in anumber of different industries<br />
including retail, food, craft, service<br />
consulting and many more,’’ Mr<br />
HendersonNewport says.<br />
‘‘It is inspiring to see the excitement<br />
grow in attendees as their business<br />
comes to life.’’<br />
While the course is free for<br />
participants to attend, Mr Henderson<br />
Newport says it would not be possible<br />
without the generous support of its<br />
funding partners.<br />
‘‘We are grateful to our partners the<br />
Kaikoura District Council, Destination<br />
Kaikoura, <strong>May</strong>ors Taskforce for Jobs<br />
and the Ministry of Social Development.<br />
‘‘They recognised what this<br />
opportunity means for the community<br />
and came onboard. We are just so<br />
excited to get stuck in.’’<br />

Authorised by Matt Doocey MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.<br />
Youth week marked<br />
by launch of survey<br />
Iwas excited to kick off Youth Week<br />
<strong>2022</strong> in Waimakariri with an event at<br />
the Rangiora Town Hall on Monday<br />
morning.<br />
My Youth MP Hillary Cooper, and I,<br />
launched ayouth survey for the young<br />
people of Waimakariri to ensure their<br />
voices are heard when she goes to<br />
Youth Parliament in Wellington next<br />
month.<br />
Iamalways amazed by the talent<br />
and intelligence of our young people,<br />
and the way they instinctively<br />
collaborate and listen to one another.<br />
It was great to hear from the 18<br />
senior student leaders from Oxford,<br />
Kaiapoi, Rangiora and New Life High<br />
Schools, who helped Hillary refine<br />
her survey ahead of taking it public.<br />
Ihave always seen great value in<br />
supporting our younger generations to<br />
grow and develop, and this was a<br />
wonderful way to celebrate them.<br />
It was good to see Spark<br />
representative Graeme McCarrison<br />
back to talk to residents struggling<br />
with alack of reliable internet and<br />
phone service, at my second public<br />
meeting on the subject recently.<br />
Graeme was joined by<br />
representatives from Enable and<br />
AmuriNet, who are currently rolling<br />
out fibre to much of the Mandeville<br />
area.<br />
This project is set to be completed<br />
by the end of the year, but Iwill<br />
continue to fight for all those outside<br />
the rollout area until the whole<br />
district sees improvements.<br />
In Wellington, I’ve been holding the<br />
government to account on its health<br />
reforms, at the second reading of the<br />
Pae Ora Bill.<br />
It is quite staggering that in the<br />
middle of apandemic they should be<br />
overhauling the District Health<br />
Boards, blowing half abillion dollars<br />
on the restructure.<br />
But worse than that is the omission<br />
in the report of any rural strategy.<br />
One has to wonder what<br />
improvements to our health services<br />
could possibly be achieved in<br />
provincial and rural New Zealand<br />
with areform that doesn’t even<br />
acknowledge those residents.<br />
Lastly, Iwant to take the<br />
opportunity to wish Bruce Kearney all<br />
the very best for his new role as<br />
principal at Rangiora High School.<br />
It was great to attend his welcoming<br />
ceremony last week in what was<br />
another great example of young<br />
people taking the lead.<br />
Iamcertain he will bring about<br />
great results for the school and wider<br />
community, and we are lucky to have<br />
kept him in the district.<br />

Theyare critical to the future of<br />

for all thatthey do. As you willhave<br />
read, we are disappointedthe<br />
Government has pressed on with its<br />

any substantial change.<br />
As part of Communities 4Local<br />
Democracy we haddevelopeda10 point<br />

was decided to continue with the<br />
programme thisyear, with <strong>12</strong> pupils<br />
involved,teacher Hamish Dale says.<br />
‘‘They had some guidance fromDawn<br />
and I, but the students tookthe lessons<br />
and the Chinesewent ‘wowthe kids are<br />
running it’.<br />
‘‘They thought it was so cool to have<br />
the students running the lessons, so<br />
now theirstudents are doing it too.’’<br />
Because the Chineseschoolswere so<br />
keentoconnect with Kaiapoi, they<br />

Zone committee visits The Pines Wetland<br />
Heavy rain since Christmas has<br />
been amixed blessing for the<br />
The Pines Wetland in the<br />
Tuhaitara Coastal Park.<br />
The Waimakariri Zone<br />
Committee recently held afield<br />
trip to The Pines with Te<br />
Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust<br />
general manager Greg Byrnes to<br />
discuss summer rain, the work of<br />
the trust and projects planned<br />
for the future.<br />
‘‘We’ve had 300ml of rain in<br />
the area since Christmas and<br />
although this has helped some of<br />
our budding plants to grow, it<br />
has also meant that the weeds<br />
are flourishing too,’’ Greg says.<br />
The park covers around 700<br />
hectares of land along the<br />
coastline from the Waimakariri<br />
River mouth, north to the<br />
settlement of Waikuku Beach.<br />
It stretches along the coast for<br />
10.5km and comprises many<br />
natural features of local,<br />
regional and national<br />
importance.<br />
The Pines Wetland is around<br />
44 hectares of the park and is a<br />
priority for the trust, which is<br />
planning to carry out weed<br />
control in the area, to remove<br />
the unwanted growth.<br />
This will make way for new<br />
plants which are set to be<br />
installed.<br />
Trees That Count has agreed<br />
to donate 10,000 trees, including<br />
Ribbonwood and cabbage trees /<br />
ti kouka to the trust over the next<br />
five years.<br />
The first 2000 of these are set<br />
to be planted by acontractor in<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
The trust has brought in a<br />

restrictions making it difficult to<br />
organise volunteer planting<br />
days.<br />
In January last year afire<br />
broke out in aproperty next to<br />
the wetland and quickly spread,<br />
causing the destruction of many<br />
trees, including pines, which<br />
were in the wetland.<br />
Despite these circumstances,<br />
Greg is looking at the positives.<br />
‘‘The fire gave us afresh<br />
approach to how we want the<br />
wetland to look going forward,’’<br />
he says.<br />
Afire break is now being<br />
planned for aspace between the<br />
wetland and neighbouring<br />
properties to provide added<br />
protection should another<br />
incident occur.<br />
‘‘Interestingly, we’ve seen an<br />
increase in the number of whitefaced<br />
heron occupying the<br />
wetland since the fire, now that<br />
the area’s much more open,’’<br />
Greg says.<br />
One small part of the wetland,<br />
off Batten Grove, has been<br />
replanted by Kaiapoi <strong>North</strong><br />
School children as part of their<br />
Feast for Flight programme.<br />
‘‘It’s been planted with species<br />
which will attract birds, like<br />
ones with berries and nectar,’’<br />
Greg says.<br />
Waimakariri Zone Committee<br />
is keen to support the trust’s<br />
work in the wetland, committee<br />
member Carolyne Latham says.<br />
Field trip ... Te Kohaka oTuhaitara Trust general manager Greg Byrnes<br />
shows Waimakariri Zone Committee members around the wetland.<br />
‘‘It was awesome to see what<br />
has been done and what can be<br />
done with alittle extra support,’’<br />
she says.<br />
The zone committee has<br />
recommended the project<br />
receive close to $15,000 for the<br />
weed control work /mahi this<br />
year.<br />
It comes 10 years after the<br />
committee first supported the<br />
park, when it pitched to help<br />
help fund work in the Tutaepatu<br />
Lagoon, near Woodend.<br />
The committee previously<br />
recommended around $200,000<br />
over five years in Immediate<br />
Steps Funding for the<br />
restoration of the 49 hectare<br />
freshwater lagoon.<br />
The funding supported weed<br />
control and planting of more<br />
than 4000 native plants<br />
including kahikatea, New<br />
Zealand’s tallest forest tree.<br />
After 2015, the trust received<br />
further Immediate Steps<br />
Funding which supported other<br />
projects in the park including<br />
The Pines Wetland.<br />
Greg says the trust is grateful<br />
for the committee’s support and<br />
hopes it will spark further<br />
collaboration.<br />
‘‘I hope the committee<br />
considers reconnecting with the<br />
park.<br />
‘‘Its previous support was vital<br />
to the restoration of the<br />
Tutaepatu Lagoon,’’ he says.

Nurse caught in Covid nightmare<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
The Ministry of Health believes it is not to<br />
blame for processing delays involving a<br />
Rangiora ICUnurse,who was stooddown<br />
for severalweeks unpaid after catching<br />
Covid19.<br />
CarlosMolina was leftinadesperate<br />
situation as he waitedeight weeks, with no<br />
income, for amedicalexemptiontobe<br />
authorised by the Ministry.<br />
The ICU nurseatChristchurch Hospital<br />
caughtCovid19 in earlyMarch, on the eve<br />
of the mandatory cutoff datefor receiving<br />
abooster.<br />
Just as he was set to returntowork, he<br />
was told he was being stooddown until an<br />
exemption had beenfinalised.<br />
Those who have been infected are<br />
unabletoreceiveavaccine for three<br />
monthsafter catching the virus.<br />
Under the Covid19 Public Health<br />
Response Order 2021,practicing nurses<br />
must be fully vaccinated, including<br />
receiving aboosterwithin 6monthsof<br />
havinghad their second jab.<br />
Despite being informedthe process<br />
would take aboutfivetosix working days,<br />
Mr Molina only returned to work last<br />
week.<br />
‘‘There was no meansofgetting<br />
feedback on your case, because yourfile<br />
doesn’t haveanumber.’’<br />
‘‘Every week Iwas being toldIwas<br />
missing somethingonthe application...it<br />
was very inefficient.’’<br />
In the interim, he was forced to dipinto<br />
savings which had beenset aside for a<br />
familytrip to visit his elderly mother in El<br />
Salvador.<br />
The situation also took atoll on his<br />
mentalhealth.<br />
‘‘I had alot of stressand sleepless<br />
nights,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘It was hard having to tell the mother of<br />
my kidsthat Icouldn’t have them this<br />
week because Ihad no moneytofeed<br />

them.’’<br />
As he continued to wait, he received<br />
support through Work and Income<br />
(WINZ).<br />
AMinistry spokesperson saysitdid not<br />
receiveamedical exemption application<br />
for Mr Molina until April 6.<br />
The exemption was granted on April 20.<br />
‘‘There was adelaybecausethe doctor<br />
hadn’t sighted the positive test result and<br />
the applicant needs to verify apositive<br />
result before granting atemporary<br />
medical exemption application.’’<br />
The Ministry says thereare two options<br />
for obtaining athree month medical<br />
exemption, comprising of an individual<br />
application via their medical or nurse<br />
practitioner, or verified throughtheir<br />
employer as agroup application.<br />
‘‘DHBs continuetoencourage all staff<br />
eligible for abooster to receive their<br />
vaccinationand are makingitaseasy as<br />
possiblefor them to do so.<br />
The Ministry would not confirmhow<br />
many ICU nurses had been stood down<br />
awaiting amedical exemption.<br />
‘‘It’s importantthat medicalexemptions<br />
are made as easy as possible to get if<br />
health professionals have had Covid19.’’<br />
WaimakaririMPMatt Doocey described<br />
the situation as ‘‘appalling’’and called for<br />
the Ministry to take someaccountability.<br />
‘‘In the middleofapandemic, wherewe<br />
desperately needtohang on to our<br />
specialist health professionals,Iwas<br />
appalled thiswas allowedtohappen.<br />
‘‘We all knowthe pressures on peopleat<br />
the moment. To not be able to provide for<br />
yourself and your familyishugely<br />

Erin offers podiatry services in Rangiora<br />
As aselfconfessed ‘‘shoe nerd’’, it was<br />
not surprisingthat Erin Blundell<br />
chose podiatry for acareer.<br />
Erin is from asmall country town,<br />
and chose aprofession thatdidn’t<br />
require her to liveinthe city.<br />
‘‘Thishas meant having to work<br />
acrossall scopes of podiatry from<br />
hospitalsworking with highrisk feet,<br />
to sportsmadtowns and paediatric<br />
issues,’’she says.<br />
Erin has been apodiatrist since<br />
2005, and in January 2020 opened her<br />
own business in Rangiora <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Podiatry.<br />
Her roomsare upstairs in the Gables<br />
Arcade, wherethere is alift for<br />
clients.<br />
She is openMonday to Friday, with<br />
late night, and earlymorning<br />
appointments available. Simply Ear<br />
Care also work fromthe same<br />

Erin was borninKalbarri,north of<br />
Perth,inAustralia, and has worked<br />
acrossAustralia and New Zealandin<br />
country towns.<br />
She moved to the Waimakariri<br />

Erinsays the Waimakariridistrict<br />
has been short of podiatristsfor many<br />
years, especially due to itsgrowth, and<br />
since establishing her business,she<br />
has been kept ‘‘pleasantly busy, but<br />
not so busy that most peoplecannot<br />
get an appointment within aweek’’.<br />
She is grateful for the support she<br />
has receivedsinceestablishing her<br />
business,and believesthe central<br />
location and parking accessibility of<br />
her clinic helpsmeether clients<br />
needs.<br />
The bestpart of her jobiswhen a<br />
‘‘simple fix’’ can createsuch big<br />
change in keeping people moving.<br />
‘‘That is very rewarding,’’Erin says.<br />
She stresses that onesizefits all<br />
advice is not the caseinpodiatry, such<br />
as toddlers are best barefoot in the<br />
house, but the opposite applies for<br />
people with heel pain.<br />
Current shoe trends oftenaffect<br />
whatconditions show up at the clinic,<br />
Erinsays.<br />
‘‘Spongy soled shoesare<br />
appropriate for people with rigid feet,<br />
but require flexible feet to work<br />
harder, leadingtooveruse injuries.’’<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>Sport&Recreation<br />
Trust(NCSRT), will have astrong<br />
presence at the upcoming TransAlpine<br />
ScooterSafari ride from Christchurch to<br />
Hokitika raising money for the Cancer<br />
Society.<br />
ThreeTrust staffmemberswill join 250<br />
otherriders in braving the trip on their<br />
50cc scooters, with several otherstaff<br />
acting as their support crew along the way.<br />
NCSRTMarketing ManagerTony Kean<br />
lost his father, Mike,tocancer 20 years ago<br />
and takingpart in the Scooter Safari has<br />
been on his bucketlist for sometime as a<br />
way to raisemoney so others avoidthe<br />
same fate.<br />
‘‘There's ahistory of bowel disease and<br />
cancer in my family and my brothers and I<br />
are on apriority list for regular<br />
colonoscopies andearlydetection<br />
measures,but it is important everyone has<br />
access to screening and teststodetect all<br />
typesofcancer as earlyaspossible.’’<br />
Tony purchased his scooter ‘‘Doris’’ asiswhereis<br />
several years ago,and got her<br />
up and running, but missedthe cut on the<br />
Scooter Safariand then the event was<br />
cancelledlast year, before successfully<br />
registeringthisyear.<br />
Workmates Caroline Whittaker (NCSRT<br />
Social Media &Events Manager) and Paul<br />
Dunn (MainPowerStadium Facility<br />
Manager) heard his plans and likedthe<br />
idea so much theydecided to join in too.<br />
Caroline alreadyhad anew scooter she<br />
had bought last summer, but it was such a<br />
spurofthemoment decision that Paul<br />
actually entered the Safari without having<br />
ascooter to ride.<br />
Luckily he was abletofind one in parts,<br />
which Tony helped him get up and<br />
running, and now the trio are just afew<br />
days away from takingonthe 250km<br />
challenge.<br />
‘‘We're all excited, but also alittle bit<br />
daunted, by the trip,’’ says Tony.<br />
‘‘We havea9hour window to get to<br />
Hokitika, which seems like along time, but<br />
travellingatnomore than 50km/h, and<br />
with some big hill climbs in there,it's not<br />
guaranteed thatwe'llmake it by any<br />
means.<br />
‘‘I think the biggestride Ihave done on<br />
Doris is about 30km and to be fair she's<br />
held together by aloose collectionof<br />
randombolts,wire and blindfaith so it<br />
could be amiracle if Ieven get over<br />
Porters Pass.<br />
‘‘But at the end of the day it'sabout<br />
raising money for the CancerSociety and<br />
we'll all pushour scooters to Hokitika if we<br />
have to to achieve that goal.’’<br />
The Scooter Safari is described as ‘‘one<br />
of thecoldest, longest, hardest, most<br />
gruelling tests of endurance on acity<br />
scooter’’, but is nothing in comparison to<br />
the challenges people faceintheir cancer<br />
journey.<br />
The Safariwill takeplace on <strong>May</strong> 21, and<br />
so far thisyear the event has raised over<br />
$185,000, but with atarget of $350,000 there<br />
is still alot of work to do.<br />
If you wouldlike to sponsor Tony,<br />
CarolineorPaul please go to www.<br />

Expectations exceeded<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
The Kaikoura District Council has<br />
exceededfinancial expectationsby<br />
more than$2million accordingtoits<br />
latest financial report.<br />
Howeverunbudgeted grants and<br />
subsidies have influenced the<br />
favourable financial picture for the<br />
council.<br />
Asurplusofmore than $800,000was<br />
recordedbycouncilinits financial<br />
report for the ninemonths ending<br />
March<strong>2022</strong>.<br />
It means council is $2.1million ‘‘better<br />
off’’againstayeartodate budgeted<br />
deficit of $1.3 million.<br />
The reportwas presented at last<br />
week’s finance, auditand risk<br />
committee meeting, with the numbers<br />
met with pleasant surprise by<br />
councillors.<br />
Howeverthe Provincial GrowthFund<br />
development projectatWakatuQuay<br />
was highlighted as factor, including<br />
unbudgeted revenueof$1.3 million<br />
received in advance.<br />
Another $500,000isunbudgeted<br />
<strong>May</strong>ors Taskforce for Jobs grants,<br />
alongside a‘‘largevariance’’relating to<br />
$222,000 of Government funding through<br />
the Tourism Infrastructure Fund.<br />
‘‘Theremay stillbesomeaudit<br />
adjustmentstobecompleted once the<br />
2021annual reportaudithas been<br />
finalised,’’ says the report.<br />
Revenue for the year fromratesis<br />
downby$197,000due to the Maori<br />
freehold landrate arrears being written<br />

AmendmentBill.<br />
Employee costs are also below budget<br />
by $216,000 against an allocation of $2.5<br />
million.‘‘This is affected by staff<br />
vacancies.’’ All other areas within<br />
revenueare tracking close to budget, the<br />
report says.

The Coldstream Tennis Club’s new<br />
facilities point to an exciting future for<br />
the sport in Rangiora, says the club’s<br />
president Laurence Smith.<br />
The new club is an amalgamation of<br />
the Rangiora Tennis Club and the<br />
Southbrook Tennis Club.<br />
Both clubs sold their former assets<br />
and combined forces to build the new<br />
facility alongside Rangiora’s new<br />
MainPower Stadium in Coldstream<br />
Road.<br />
‘‘By selling up and building anew<br />
facility we now have have 10 courts,’’<br />
Laurence says.<br />
There are 8Plexipave courts and 2<br />
Astro grass courts. Lighting will also be<br />
installed at the new facility to allow<br />
evening tennis.<br />
‘‘It is amuch better facility with the<br />
ability to host events and future proof<br />
tennis in Rangiora,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Coldstream Road has become a<br />
sporting hub for Rangiora and<br />
Coldstream Tennis is very excited to be<br />
included in that.’’<br />
An area has been cleared next to the<br />
courts for the club rooms which is<br />
expected to take about <strong>12</strong> months to<br />
build. Amodified shipping container<br />
will be moved to the site soon to provide<br />
club rooms during the interim.<br />
Club members are already taking<br />
advantage of the new courts, but<br />
members of the wider public will also be<br />
able to use the courts in the near future.<br />
‘‘It is aprivate club but we want to<br />
make the facilities accessible to the<br />
public as well,’’ Laurence says.<br />
‘‘People will be able to book acourt<br />
and pay for play,’’ he says.<br />

Emissions taxing of agriculture<br />
OPINION<br />
Jamie McFadden says emission<br />
taxing of agriculture defies logic.<br />
Jamie is chairman of <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> based Rural Advocacy<br />
Network and spokesman for<br />
Groundswell. From asheep and<br />
beef farming background, Jamie<br />
and his wife Linda run an<br />
environmental consultancy and<br />
eco-sourced native plant nursery<br />
and planting business.<br />
Having attended the webinars, meetings<br />
and reading the information, Iamnone<br />
the wiser as to why the world’s most<br />
emission efficient farmers are being taxed<br />
for emissions, and by howmuch.<br />
How have we gone from a2003 petition<br />
of over 60,000people opposing the<br />
emissions tax,toall our farminggroups<br />
now actively assisting thegovernment to<br />
implement an emissions tax in a<br />

partnershipcalledHeWaka EkeNoa<br />
(HWEN)?<br />
The purpose of HWEN is unclear.<br />
If theaim was to reduceglobal<br />
emissions, then ablunt tax on the world’s<br />
most emission efficientfood producers<br />
would notsee the lightofday.<br />
The publicity also states thepurposeof<br />
HWEN was to come up with an emissions<br />
tax optionthat was better than the ETS.<br />
Seems it is nothing to do withbeing<br />
visionary,achieving environmental<br />
outcomes or effective,efficient policy–it<br />
ismainly about how to emission tax<br />
farmers in the nicest way possible.<br />
This wouldexplainthe sales pitch,<br />
which was to makefarmers so fearful of<br />
the dreaded ETS thatthey would choose<br />
an almostequally flawed option simply on<br />
the grounds of it being soldasless<br />
repugnant.<br />
To seal the HWEN emissions tax deal,<br />
some sweeteners havebeen thrownin.<br />
The first is that the two HWEN options<br />
allow farmingrepresentatives to be at the<br />
‘‘advisory board’’ table with the<br />
government.<br />
The problemwiththis ‘‘wemustalways<br />
be at the table’’ thinking is that farmersare<br />
alwaysonthe menu,and is why we now<br />
have so many unworkable regulations.<br />
The second sweetener is the promise of<br />
sequestration credits.<br />
However, these havebeen massively<br />
overstated. Read the fine print and most<br />
nativebush, riparian plantings and exotics<br />
will notqualify.<br />
Idon’t everrecallinmy25years of<br />
submission processes not knowing what a<br />
proposal was going to cost me.<br />
There is insufficient cost benefit,<br />
Spotlight on exotics<br />
More work needs to be done to address<br />
concerns over the increasing amount<br />
of exotic carbon forestry, Beef +Lamb<br />
New Zealand (BLNZ)says.<br />
In its submission to the<br />
Government’s consultation on<br />
proposalsthat aim to limit the<br />
increasingamount of plantings across<br />
New Zealand, particularlyon<br />
productivesheep and beef farmland,<br />
BLNZ worked closely with DairyNZ<br />
and Federated Farmerstoensure<br />
theirsubmissions wereclosely<br />
aligned.<br />
BLNZ chief executive Sam McIvor<br />
says the increasingrate of exotic<br />
carbon forestryplanting on productive<br />
farmland needs urgentaction, but it’s<br />
equally important that the right action<br />
is taken.<br />
‘‘We applaud the Governmentfor the<br />
intent behind this consultation to limit<br />
carbononlyfarming by limiting exotic<br />
forestry in the permanent category of<br />
the ETS.<br />
‘‘However we don’tthink this<br />
proposal will go far enough to stopthe<br />
deeply concerningnumber of farms<br />
beingsold intoforestry and to address<br />
the gutting of rural communities.’’<br />
Mr McIvorsays the proposal is<br />
‘‘tinkering around the edges’’.<br />
‘‘We need to see afundamental<br />
decision about how we use trees in<br />
transitioning to alow emissions future.<br />
‘‘Ourposition remainsthat we need<br />
to see specific limits in the ETS on the<br />
amount of offsetting fossil fuelemitters<br />
can do –inline with what happens in<br />
othercountries internationally.<br />
‘‘We also havequestions about the<br />
specific design of the proposal to<br />
remove exotic trees from the<br />
permanent categoryrelatingtothe<br />
feasibility of implementing what’s<br />
proposed,and concerns about the lack<br />
of detail aroundcrucial aspects within<br />
the proposalsuch as an exemptions<br />
regime.’’<br />
Jamie McFadden<br />
environmental and economic analysis, and<br />
we have no idea what the administration<br />
costtofarmerswill be.<br />
Throw in the DairyNZpredetermination<br />
issue, and if this was acouncil<br />
consultation process it would have been<br />
thrown out by the courts for multiple<br />
process failures.<br />
In summary, if the goal is environmental<br />
outcomes and reducing globalemissions,<br />
thenthere is no place for the current<br />
HWEN or ETS emissions tax options.<br />
Groundswellare seekingfarmer and<br />
public support for an alternative solution<br />
that takesapractical,integrated approach<br />
to addressing all environmental issues,<br />
including emissions. No morepoliciesin<br />
silos.<br />
We advocate for afocus on<br />
environmentaloutcomes and actions on<br />
thegroundtailored to each individual<br />
farm and catchment. More information is<br />
on our website.<br />
Sam McIvor, BLNZ chief executive.<br />
In the meantime, BLNZ is callingfor<br />
amoratorium on allowing exotic<br />
forests entry into the ETS underthe<br />
permanent forest category for at least<br />
two years.<br />
This allowstime to develop policy<br />
mechanismstoaddress the concerns,<br />
such as potential exemptionsora<br />
standardsregime for that category and<br />
limitsonforestry offsetting.<br />
Mr McIvor acknowledges a<br />
moratorium would impact the ability<br />
for more desirable integrated<br />
plantings to enter into thiscategory,<br />
such as poplar or willowplanting for<br />
erosion control.<br />
It alsoimpactsonsome landowners’<br />
(especiallyiwi) desires to establish<br />
exoticplantings which then transition<br />
to native forest overtime.<br />
‘‘However we believe this<br />
moratorium would providetime to get<br />
the rulesright so we can best provide<br />
for theseactivities.<br />
‘‘To be clear, we can see arole for<br />
appropriatelymanagedpermanent<br />
exotics within farms, and we want to<br />
support this.<br />
‘‘Ourconcernisthe sale of whole<br />
farmsfor conversioninto permanent<br />
carbon farming.’’

Life membership surprise for Chris<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Receiving alife membership<br />
was apleasant surprise for<br />
Chris Sundstrum last week.<br />
The former Federated<br />
Farmers <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
president received a<br />
provincial life membership of<br />
the organisation at its annual<br />
meeting at Leeston on<br />
Wednesday, <strong>May</strong> 4.<br />
‘‘It was abit of asurprise. I<br />
didn’t have aclue. It catches<br />
you abit on the hop,’’ Mr<br />
Sundstrum says.<br />
‘‘It’s an organisation that we<br />
all need and it does alot for<br />
the country that most people<br />
don’t realise and unless you<br />
get involved you don’t find<br />
out.’’<br />
Mr Sundstrum made his<br />
mark during 25 years in the<br />
mohair industry, while based<br />
on alifestyle block on South<br />
Eyre Road, near Oxford.<br />
While he has now retired<br />
into Christchurch, he<br />
continues to have an interest<br />
in the mohair industry in an<br />
advisory capacity and remains<br />
passionate about the wider<br />
rural sector.<br />
‘‘I’m very passionate about<br />
New Zealand people and my<br />
forte is that we all need each<br />
other. My passion is to try to<br />
get people to understand each<br />
other.<br />
‘‘Now that I’m stuck in town,<br />
I’m amongst adifferent crowd<br />
but Ifind that there’s afair bit<br />
of connection between rural<br />
and urban, but the only ones<br />
who speak up are the ‘antis’.’’<br />
The son of adoctor, Mr<br />
Sundstrum was born and bred<br />
in Christchurch before<br />
studying at what was then<br />
Lincoln College.<br />
‘‘I grew up in town, but I<br />
always wanted to get into<br />
farming. It’s all I’ve ever<br />
wanted to do.’’<br />
After university he spent a<br />
few years working in England,<br />
before returning to New<br />
Zealand where he worked<br />
mainly on farms before getting<br />
into the Mohair industry.<br />
While he just had asmall<br />
goat herd, mohair fleeces from<br />
all over the country went<br />
through his store.<br />
His mohair connections<br />
took him on several trips to<br />
South Africa, to the home of<br />
the breed around Port<br />
Elizabeth.<br />
‘‘The mohair fleece is very<br />
popular. The Japanese in<br />

particular love their mohair<br />
suits because they last along<br />
time. They grow old, but they<br />
don’t wear out,’’ he says.<br />
Mr Sundstrum was<br />
president of Federated<br />
Farmers’ <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
province from 2007 to 2010.<br />
‘‘It was avery rewarding<br />
position, taking up the<br />

Vacancies for young farmers on Feds exec<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Federated Farmers <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> provincial executive is keen<br />
to hear from young farmers interested in<br />
having aseat at the board table.<br />
Following last Wednesday’s annual<br />
meeting, held at Leeston, president<br />
Caroline Amyes is keen to hear from<br />
anyone interesting in stepping into the<br />
meat and wool chairperson and arable<br />
chairperson roles.<br />
‘‘We encourage people to come along<br />
and see what we are about. It’s agreat<br />
opportunity to build some connections<br />
other than in your local community,’’ Ms<br />
Amyes says.<br />
‘‘We are doing some important work<br />
and it’s about making sure their voices<br />
are represented at the table.<br />
‘‘We are quite ayoung executive and<br />
we try to have some fun, so it’s acool<br />
place to be.’’<br />
The dairy sector is well represented on<br />
the board, with new senior vicepresident<br />
Karl Dean, aLeeston<br />
sharemilker, continuing in his role as<br />
dairy chairperson, while Cheviot<br />
sharemilker Rebecca Green is junior<br />
vicepresident and dairy vicechairperson.<br />
‘‘My goal was to have an election when<br />
Ieventually stand down as president, so<br />
Imight be on the right track,’’ says Ms<br />
Amyes, who had her arm twisted to step<br />
up as president last year, after just six<br />
months on the board.<br />
Members paid tribute to outgoing meat<br />
and wool chairperson and Cheviot<br />
Caroline Amyes<br />
farmer Daniel Maxwell, who stood down<br />
at the AGM after four years in the role.<br />
‘‘It’s sad to see him go, but he will stay<br />
on to support the next person, whoever<br />
that maybe. Hopefully we will find<br />
someone soon,’’ Ms Amyes says.<br />
Mr Maxwell is staying on the board in<br />
an advisory capacity and as the<br />
Federated Farmers representative on<br />
the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Fish and Game<br />
executive.<br />
There is plenty of experience around<br />
the board table, with past presidents<br />
Chris Sundstrum and Pam Richardson<br />
regularly attending meetings, Ms Amyes<br />
says.<br />
Immediate pastpresident Cam<br />
Henderson is also continuing to play a<br />
role as Federated Farmers<br />
representative in the He Waka Eke Noa <br />
Primary Sector Climate Action<br />
Partnership discussions.<br />
Three special awards were also<br />
presented at Wednesday’s AGM,<br />
including provincial life memberships to<br />
Mr Sundstrum and Mrs Richardson.<br />

Local bulls set to go under the hammer<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
There is plenty of optimism<br />
ahead of the region’s bull sales.<br />
If the recent calf sales are<br />
anything to go by, there should<br />
be plenty of demand for bulls<br />
this year, Hazlett auctioneer<br />
Allister Orchard says.<br />
‘‘It’s early yet, but everyone<br />
has had apretty good run at the<br />
calf sales, so that usually<br />
follows on into the bull<br />
market,’’ he says.<br />
Record sheep and beef meat<br />
prices and the favourable<br />
weather conditions in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> have all added to<br />
farmer confidence.<br />
‘‘It will be interesting. In<br />
some areas cow numbers are<br />
back abit, so it depends on how<br />
many bulls they need,’’ Mr<br />
Orchard says.<br />
‘‘Farmers are very optimistic<br />
at the moment and the outlook<br />
is looking positive for beef and<br />
lamb.<br />
‘‘There has been an issue for<br />
killing space because the works<br />
have been impacted by Covid,<br />
but we have been fortunate in<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> to have<br />
plenty of feed around.’’<br />
Farmers usually expect to get<br />
agood three to four years of<br />
breeding out of their bulls, but<br />
it can depend on bull health<br />
and injuries.<br />
While bull sales are under<br />
way in the <strong>North</strong> Island and a<br />
sale was held in South<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> last week, the first<br />
of several <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
sales will be held on June 9.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> bull walks<br />
will be held on Thursday, <strong>May</strong><br />

opportunity to get asneek<br />

‘‘It allows guys to go and have<br />
look at the bulls presale so they<br />
can mark them down, but alot<br />
just turn up on the day of the<br />
sale,’’ Mr Orchard says.<br />
‘‘Most of them will know what<br />
they’re looking for.’’<br />

New winter grazing rules<br />
Changes to winter grazingrules aregood<br />
newsfor farmers, say primary sector<br />
groups.<br />
DairyNZand Beef +Lamb New<br />
Zealandhave both welcomed the changes<br />
announcedbythe government last week.<br />
Theamendments willrequire grazed<br />
annual forage croppaddockstoberesownassoon<br />
as conditionsallow, instead<br />
of by aset date.<br />
Specific requirementsaround the<br />
depth of pugging have been removed and<br />
replaced with aduty for farmerstotake<br />
practicable stepstominimisethe effects<br />
of pugging on freshwater.<br />
Anew condition hasbeenadded where<br />
critical source areas in wintercrop<br />
paddocks will need to be identified and<br />
not cultivatedorgrazed.<br />
The regulations have been changed in<br />
relation to slopefrom ameanslope of 10<br />
degrees to amaximum slope of 10<br />
degrees.<br />
The changestakeeffectfrom November<br />
1, in time for preparations fornext year’s<br />
winter grazing.<br />
It meansfarmers can proceed withthis<br />
winter’s forage crop grazing as planned.<br />
DairyNZgeneral managerfor<br />
sustainable dairy, Dr David Burger, says<br />
the changes address farmer concerns that<br />
the ruleswere impractical,unclear and<br />
wouldn’t improve environmental or<br />
animal welfare outcomes.<br />
‘‘Farmersand thecommunity both want<br />
to see improvements in wintergrazing<br />
practices and farmersare committed to<br />
delivering that on farms.<br />
‘‘We’re pleased the Government has<br />
listened to feedback andamended the<br />
new rules so they're practical and<br />
informed by goodscience, so will actually<br />
deliver betteroutcomes.’’<br />
BLNZ chief executive Sam McIvor says<br />
an initial review of the amended rules<br />
shows there is good newsfor farmers, but<br />
he is disappointedsome of the changes<br />
sought were not implemented.<br />
‘‘Weengaged closely with the<br />
Government throughoutthis process and<br />
are pleased to see thatmuch of our<br />
feedback has been incorporated into the<br />
final legislation, particularlyaround<br />
pugging, resowing dates and critical<br />
source areas.’’<br />
Greenpeace says the Government has<br />
‘‘caved in’’tointensive dairy and has<br />
missed an opportunity to improve<br />
environmental management and animal<br />
welfare.<br />

Ashley right on song at Loburn<br />
RUGBY<br />
By PETER WILLIAMS<br />
Two of the lowerranked <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> sides,Ashley and Ohoka,<br />
both registered their first wins in the<br />
fourth round of the combined Luisetti<br />
Seeds rugby competition, while<br />
GlenmarkCheviot and Saracens<br />
maintained their momentum with good<br />
wins.<br />
Kaiapoi, though,lost its unbeaten<br />
record, succumbing to Celtic in adour<br />
affair.<br />
AshleyvOxford<br />
Ashley had piled on 32 unanswered<br />
points, and already claimed their bonus<br />
point beforeOxford scored aconverted<br />
trybyarguably theirhardestworker,<br />
Liam Stevenson, just before half time. It<br />
was an impressive display by an onsong<br />
Ashley outfitwhich had promisedto<br />
deliver aperformance like this for some<br />
time.<br />
It was more of the same in the second<br />
half –Ashley finished with nine tries to<br />
its credit and it was not until the last10<br />
minutes, withthe game welland truly in<br />
the bag thatthe Ashley performance<br />
started to get alittle ragged, andOxford<br />
rallied to score two consolation tries<br />
which gave the scoreline amodicum of<br />
respectability.<br />
All the kudos must go to Ashley. Its<br />
forward pack, withMatt Kippenberger,<br />
Louis James, MattKing and Nic Sim all<br />
turning on topshelf performances,<br />
dominated allphases of the possession<br />
battle and at times completely<br />
annihilated Oxford at scrumtime,<br />
winning astring of tightheads.<br />
Halfback Tyler Power no doubt<br />
appreciated getting so much quality<br />
ball,but it was his speedy and accurate<br />
delivery of that possession that really set<br />
alight atalented backline. AllofAshley’s<br />
backs had excellent games, keeping the<br />
errors to aminimum. The shining star<br />
was centre AnthonyTavendale who had<br />
ahand in manyofAshley’s triesand<br />
scored ahattrick. He sliced the Oxford<br />
defence to shreds, seemingly at will.<br />
With pointsin this matchdoubling for<br />
both the Luisetti Seeds Combined and<br />
the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> only competitions,<br />
the five points Ashleydeservedly<br />
secured puts it in astrong position in the<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> competition, but its<br />
probably left its run too late to nail down<br />
aspot in the combined quarter finalson<br />
June 4.<br />
Ashley 56 (Anthony Tavendale (3), Louis<br />
James (2), Luke Gold, Jack Marshall,<br />
Korbyn Gray, Ben Wicksteed, tries;<br />
Marshall, one penalty, two conversions,<br />
Korbyn Gray two conversions) beat<br />
Oxford 19 (Liam Stevenson, Jireh<br />
Vunibaka, Sam Freeman tries, Matt<br />
Roberts 2conversions).<br />
OhokavRakaia<br />
The match at Mandevilledid not reach<br />
any great heights,with both teams<br />
making alot of mistakes. Ohoka would<br />
have been pleasedtonotch up its first<br />
win of the season, however. This time it<br />
didn’t surrender its halftime lead as it<br />
has done more than once this season.<br />
Ohoka could thank its loose forward<br />
trio of Tom Taylor, Sam Powell and, in<br />
particular, Ben Gold for laying the<br />
platform for the team’s success.<br />
Gold was everywhere, making vital<br />
tackles, securing turnover ball and<br />
cover defending tigerishly all day. At<br />
fiveeighth Paddy McCallum directed<br />
play with aplomb, and chose the right<br />
time to feed his centres, Scott Allin and<br />
Blain O’Loughlin.<br />
Their probing runs concerned<br />
Rakaia’s defenders as did George<br />
Wiggins, playing hiss 100th gamefor the<br />
Leading from the front ... Ashley’s captain, Louis James, on his way to scoring one of his<br />

Saracens vHornby<br />
While Saracens was first on the board<br />
with an early try to Alex Kennedy,<br />
Hornby hit backstrongly putting<br />
Saracens under pressure by usingits big<br />
forwards to find holes around the rucks.<br />
Hornby managed to hit the front with a<br />
coupleoftries beforeSaracens regrouped<br />
and settled into its work, eventually getting<br />
some quality ball for the backs who found<br />
space and scoredsome good tries.<br />
Fullback, Harry Murray bagged four of<br />
them, aperformance which netted him the<br />
club’s Player of the Day award.Halfback<br />
Oscar Burney was another to impress.<br />
In the forwards, club stalwart, Willy<br />
Kerr turned inhis usual wholehearted<br />
effort playing his 150th game for this team.<br />
Saracens appeartobethe form side of the<br />
competitionpiling on amammoth265<br />
pointsinfour matches whileconceding<br />
only 41.<br />
Its last three opponents however, have<br />
been the three bottom teamsinthe<br />
section.<br />
It now needstobeat the other unbeaten<br />
side Springston, in an away game next<br />
Saturday, to set itself up for the playoffs.<br />
Saracens 62 (Harry Murray(4), Alex<br />
Kennedy, Oscar Burney, Matt Freeman,<br />
Ricky Allin, SladeDay triesAllin 7<br />
conversions,1 penalty) beat Hornby10.<br />
Rolleston vGlenmark<br />
Cheviot<br />
Although Rolleston opened the scoring in<br />
just the fourth minute, that proved to be its<br />
only points of the match. Glenmark<br />
Cheviot proceededto run in 11 tries in the<br />
processof amassing 71 unanswered<br />
points.<br />
Caleb Beck had aparticularlystrong<br />
game at first five, scoring acouple of tries<br />
and havingahandyday with the boot also.<br />
Angus Gibb carried hard all day while as<br />
always, Jacob Vincent had astrong game<br />
in the loose.<br />
Rolleston 7lost to GlenmarkCheviot 71<br />
(Jordan Gray, Caleb Beck (2),Jacob<br />
Vincent, BlairNorton (2), AngusGibb,<br />
Corrigan Harnett (2) Max Murray, Matt<br />
Holmes tries; Beck 8conversions).<br />
WaihoravHurunui<br />
In amatch played at Tai Tapu on Thursday<br />
night it was immediately apparentthat the<br />
local Waihora sidewas determined to<br />
avengethe previous week’s heavy defeat<br />
to GlenmarkCheviot. It scored two tries in<br />
the first 10 minutes –but it was the only<br />
tries scoredall match.<br />
This 140 lead was never seriously<br />
threatened, althoughHurunui had the<br />
best of the territorial battle for the rest of<br />
the first halfenabling Digby Heard to<br />
narrow the margin with two penaltygoals.<br />
The second half was all about defence<br />
with Waihora’s line speedand tackle<br />
accuracy snuffing out Hurunui’s attempts<br />
to close the gap.<br />
Hurunui playedmuch of the rest of the<br />
game deep in its own half, but its defensive<br />
patternsstood up to the test restricting<br />
Waihora to just two furtherpenalty goals.<br />
Nordy Anderson and Will Jamieson<br />
were standouts in the tight for Hurunui,<br />
while young halfback Luke Hume, in his<br />
debutmatch, directed play efficiently.<br />
Waihora 20beat Hurunui 6(Digby Heard<br />
2penalties).<br />
Woodend vSouthbridge<br />
The unbeaten Southbridgeside was<br />
always in control.<br />
It had already scored threetries before<br />
centre, Ethan Hobbs got Woodend on the<br />
board midwaythrough the first spell. By<br />
half time Southbridge had stretched the<br />
lead to 295.<br />
While Southbridge ran in four further<br />
secondhalf tries, makingitnine in total,<br />
Woodend kept its best to last with hooker<br />
Aaron Karauria, who had astrong game,<br />
and Jayden Stokeseach dotting downin<br />
the last quarter to close the margin up a<br />
little.<br />
Woodend17(EthanHobbs, Aaron<br />
Karauria, Jayden Stokes tries, Aidan<br />
Wakefield 1conversion) lostto<br />
Southbridge55.<br />
Kaiapoi vCeltic<br />
Previously unbeaten, Kaiapoi’s stocks took<br />
amajor hammeringwhen it lost ahome<br />
match to Celtic, 1510. It led 75 at halftime,<br />
courtesy of apenalty try on the hooter from<br />
an attempted pushover try, but couldonly<br />
add asole penalty goal in the second half.<br />
It was alethargic performance by<br />
Kaiapoi. The turning point cameinthe<br />
61st minute when aKaiapoi kick into<br />
Celtic’s territory was gathered and put to<br />
the toe. Celtic’s speedy wingerRaitubi<br />
Vasarakuta won the race to the ball to<br />
score adjacenttothe posts. Codey Grimes,<br />
playing out of position at first fiveeighth<br />
handledthe emergency assignment<br />
capably as did Zane Carey, usuallya<br />
flanker,who put up his hand to play at<br />
lock.<br />
Kaiapoi 10 (apenaltytry, TaineJacobs<br />
Lawson apenalty) lost to Celtic 15.<br />
Section 2ofthe compeittion is<br />
congested. There are no unbeatenteams<br />
and only two points separatethe top five<br />
teams on the points table. Kaiapoi is now<br />
staring at the dauntingtask of beating<br />
three of the othertop 4teams over the next<br />
three weeks, starting withamouthwateringclash<br />
against GlenmarkCheviot<br />
