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

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

New maintenance hub at Rangiora Airfield
Mt Hutt Aviation has opened anew
Rangiora­based aviation maintenance
hub.
It has expanded its Mid­Canterbury
operations to asecond facility based at
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
services available in­house allowsMtHutt
to provideafull starttofinish service.
‘‘We foundourselves in need of local
build support for our imported aircraft
kits, teaming up withMtHutt Aviation has
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
allowedmost projects to start without
delay. In February this year Mt Hutt
Aviation was appointedNew Zealand’s
soleRolls­Royce accredited M250­RR300

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,

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

earlier timetoentrants on foot.
The event in 2020 attracted200 entries
with drink stations, spot prizes and baked
goodsdonated by ArtisanBakery.

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

‘‘We havehad agreat response to the

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.

SPONSORSHIP
OPPORTUNITY
Budding entrepreneurs, living or
working in Kaikoura, will have the
opportunity to attend afree 10 day
online business course next month.
Destination Kaikoura has partnered
with the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs and
the Ministry of Social Development to
bring the Rebel Business School
Aotearoa to Kaikoura as part of its
economic and social development
initiative in the wake of Covid­19.
The course will take place from June
27 to July 8.
Over 10 days Rebel Business School
will deliver 20 workshops designed to
equip participants with the tools they
need to start their own business.
Topics include building awebsite for

The course does away with traditional
thinking by replacing business plans
with actionable, no­cost steps.
The course is free to participants who
need only to commit to the ten days of
the course and then, only during school
hours.
‘‘Small business is really important to
the New Zealand economy ­97percent
of New Zealand businesses employ up to
20 people and this represents 60% of all
jobs in New Zealand,’’ Ministry of Social
Development national manager
industry partnerships, Amanda Nicolle,
says.
‘‘We actively encourage people to
make that step of getting on their small
business journey and attend the Rebel
Business School.’’

consulting and many more,’’ Mr
Henderson­Newport says.
‘‘It is inspiring to see the excitement
grow in attendees as their business

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.

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.
The trust has brought in a

restrictions making it difficult to
organise volunteer planting
days.
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

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
revenueare tracking close to budget, the
report says.

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
environmental and economic analysis, and
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
to addressing all environmental issues,
including emissions. No morepoliciesin
silos.
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
appropriatelymanagedpermanent
exotics within farms, and we want to
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

particular love their mohair
suits because they last along
time. They grow old, but they
don’t wear out,’’ he says.
Mr Sundstrum was
president of Federated
Farmers’ North Canterbury
province from 2007 to 2010.

position, taking up the

going to conferences, where
the networking was
particularly rewarding.
‘‘You meet alot of
interesting people, so it’s very
worthwhile.’’
Among the highlights of his
time as president was visiting
the Chatham Islands, which is
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.

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.

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

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.
