RegionalPark has been identifiedasa<br />
special community place in apublic<br />
survey conducted by Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> (ECan).<br />
‘‘Oneofthe thingsthat wasclear<br />
through the surveywas the importance<br />
of the area,how easyitistoaccessand<br />
the many wellbeing benefitsthat it<br />
brings to people’s dailylives,’’ says<br />
ECan’s rivers manager LeighGriffiths.<br />
‘‘There was also interest in raising the<br />
profile of the Ashley/RakahuriRiver as a<br />
special location.<br />
‘‘People use the area for walking,<br />
biking, fourwheel driving and horseriding,<br />
and feedback included waysto<br />
better accommodate these uses,’’ Leigh<br />
says<br />
The area is also hometosome of the<br />
world’s rarestbirds, includingthe<br />
wrybillngutu pare, blackfrontedterntarapiroeand<br />
the blackbilled gulltarāpuka.<br />
Almost 200 people took partinthe<br />
online survey, whichwas run from<br />

March 23 until April 24, to determine<br />
how the public wantthe Rangiora Reach<br />
area of the park, nearWest Beltand<br />

doing outstanding work,’’ Leigh says.<br />
‘‘Braided River Revival intends to<br />

Mental health system outdated<br />
BY ADAM BURNS<br />
3<br />
AWaimakaririYouth Councilmember,<br />
who attempted to take her own life,<br />
believes the country’s mental health<br />
systemisdesperately outdated and<br />
shows no signs of improving.<br />
Sasha Crawford, aged 20, says based on<br />
her personalexperience seeking help in<br />
the system, which she describesasan<br />
unsympathetic box tickingexercise,<br />
mentalhealth services needed a<br />
dramatic reset.<br />
Ms Crawford, who has had ongoing<br />
battles with depression and anxiety, says<br />
she was driventodesperate measures<br />
back in 2018, becauseshe was not getting<br />
the help she needed.<br />
‘‘I honestly didn’t see any other way,’’<br />
she says.<br />
‘‘The only reason—so Iwouldn’t have<br />
to deal with mental health services ever<br />
again.<br />
‘‘But Idon’t want any other person to<br />
think that is the only way.’’<br />
Her teen years were punctuated by<br />
regular sessions with psychologists, who<br />
she sayswere largely dismissive and<br />
were overly reliantonprescribing<br />
medication.<br />
Sessions are exorbitantly priced for<br />
teensand students, and waiting times on<br />
Healthline could stretch to 15 minutes,<br />
she says.<br />
Ms Crawford says she knows of some<br />
friends paying up to $100 for some<br />
consultations.<br />
Further skepticism around the system<br />
were based off claims some mental<br />
health practitioners were utilising<br />
outdated publications to diagnose<br />
patients.<br />
Ms Crawford, who is studying<br />
psychology at the University of<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>, says her lecturers are<br />
equally scathing of mentalhealth<br />
services in the country.<br />
This is underlined by claims some<br />
services were using an outdated 28yearold<br />
editionofthe Diagnostic and<br />
Statistical ManualofMental Disorders to<br />
diagnosepatients.<br />
The publication's fourth edition<br />
(DSM4), is listedamongalist of data<br />
referencesonthe Ministry of Health<br />
website,despite the publication<br />
undergoing asignificant revision when a<br />
fifthedition was released in 2013.<br />
Ms Crawford says afriend of hers was<br />
recently diagnosed with gender identity<br />
disorder,based off adiagnostic criteria<br />
dating back to the <strong>19</strong>80s.<br />
They're not concernedwith their<br />
gender, theywent (to seekhelp)because<br />
of depression and anxiety.<br />
Theseideas were created in the <strong>19</strong>80s<br />
and are still being usedtoday ...it is an<br />
example of very concerning diagnostic<br />
criteria.<br />
Reset ... Sasha Crawford says mental health services in New Zealand are outdated and<br />
need adramatic reset.<br />
PHOTO: ADAM BURNS<br />
The Government has comeunder<br />
scrutiny in the past few weeks after a<br />
damning report by the Mental Healthand<br />
Wellbeing Commission revealed little<br />
change into specialistservices, despitea<br />
$1.9billionfunding boost.<br />
University of <strong>Canterbury</strong> professor of<br />
clinical psychology Julia Rucklidge,<br />
whose research centersonthe role of<br />
nutrition whentreating mental illness,<br />
madeacomprehensive submission to the<br />
Mental Health and Wellbeing review in<br />
2018.<br />
She says she is not surprised no gains<br />
had been madewithin the mental health<br />
crisis.<br />
‘‘I haverattled cages, Ihave spokento<br />
MP's, Ihave spokentoAndrew Little, I<br />
havetried to bring this (research) to their<br />
attention ...and this littlething, whichI<br />
believe contributes to the mental health<br />
crisis, has not been touched,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘More of doing the same isn't goingto<br />
dealwith theseunderlying socioeconomic<br />
issues, and social<br />
determinants of poor mental health.’’<br />
Health Minister Andrew Little has<br />
defended the Government following the<br />
release of the Mental Healthand<br />
Wellbeing report, whichprompted an<br />
investigation by the AuditorGeneral.<br />
‘‘The investmentprincipally addresses<br />
the major gap in our mental health<br />
services,offered in primary care,’’ he<br />
said, duringparliamentary questions in<br />
the house lastweek.<br />
‘‘It's afive year programmedue to be<br />
completed in 2024 and has so far resulted<br />
in more than 900 frontline rolesin341 GP<br />
practices,covering about 46 percent of<br />
the enrolled population.<br />
‘‘All of theseservices weren't available<br />
to New Zealanders two years ago.’’<br />
WaimakaririMPand National mental<br />
health spokesperson Matt Doocey, says<br />
there needs to be greater focus on access<br />
to mental health services.<br />
‘‘I'm not sure just puttingmore money<br />
into services that are already<br />
overstretched —meaning moremoney<br />
isn't going to magicupaworkforce<br />
overnight —isgoing to make a<br />
difference,’’hesays.<br />
Mr Doocey says he wants to see an<br />
increase in available psychology training<br />
placements.<br />
‘‘There's some long term work where<br />
we need to intervene alot earlier with<br />
our youngpeople,toensure theyhave<br />
better mental health and ultimatelythat<br />
should reduce mental illnesslaterin<br />
life.’’<br />

Sea level rise one risk to beach communities<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Livingin<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong>’s beach<br />

it’sabout findingthe levelthat’s<br />
acceptable.<br />
Hurunui DistrictCouncil chief<br />

facing beachside communitiesand<br />
how to managethatriskisadifficult<br />
conversation.<br />
She was reflecting on new sealevel<br />
risedatareleasedbythe government<br />
earlier this month.<br />
‘‘It’s not straightforward. It’snot a<br />
caseofin2035weneed to do a<br />
managed retreat. It’satrigger<br />
response andthe scienceischanging,<br />
so the speed at which we reach those<br />
trigger pointscan change.<br />
‘‘There areways of mitigatingthat<br />
risk,such as building asea wall, but if<br />
themost importantthingfor residents<br />
is easyaccess to the beach, thenthat<br />
maynot be adesirable solution.<br />
‘‘So it needstobeacommunity<br />
solution.’’<br />
Communities are at different stages<br />
of readiness, withsomeactively<br />
engaged with the council, whilefor<br />
others it may takeastorm event to spur<br />
them into action, Ms Batchelor says.<br />
Conversations include considering<br />
at what pointacommunity will needto<br />
retreat,wheretorelocate the<br />
communitytoand who is going to cover<br />
thecost.<br />
Thereisalso thecost of restoring the<br />
coastal environmentonce the<br />

Tracy Tierneysays the council will<br />
taketime to consider thelatest<br />
information.<br />
‘‘Our most recenthazardmap update<br />
includes an allowance forsea level rise<br />
and changing rainfall.’’<br />
The newreport includes data for<br />
landsubsidence as well as sea level<br />
rise, so the council is keen to explore<br />
how the combination of twomay affect<br />
hazards in the future, shesays.<br />
Kaikoura District Council strategy,<br />

The data suggests Kaikoura will<br />

Slumped culvertrepairscostly<br />
By ADAM BURNS,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Aslumped culvert nearKaiapoi,<br />
battered in the February floods, will cost<br />
about $450,000 to replace.<br />
But engineering consultants for the<br />
WaimakaririDistrict Council say the<br />
structure on Butchers Roadhad preexisting<br />
issues and had not been<br />
inspectedfor a‘‘number of years’’.<br />
Reinstatementofthe culvert —<br />
believed to be about60yearsold—is<br />
the majorassignment for the council,<br />
amid ongoing postflood clean up works<br />
which will cost about $730,000.<br />
Athird of the average rainfall lashed<br />
the eastern part of the Waimakariri<br />
district duringan‘‘unusually wet’’<br />
fortnight in February.<br />
The area coppedabout 200mmof<br />
rainfall during the two week period.<br />
Council is banking on a51percent<br />
emergency works subsidyfrom Waka<br />
KotahiNZTransport Agency (NZTA)<br />
which could reduce the bill down to<br />
$357,000.<br />
It is hoping construction of anew<br />
culvert will be completed by December.<br />
The road surfaceabove the culvert<br />
collapsed duringthe February 12<br />
flooding, with subsequent inspections<br />
confirming the Armco structurebuckled<br />
at key stress points.<br />
The WPS report says the failureofthe<br />
culvert barrel may haveoccurred ‘‘some<br />
time ago’’, and the split allowedwater to<br />
track behind the culvert wall.<br />
‘‘The inspectionfoundheavy corrosion<br />
in the wallalong the waterline,and<br />
inwardslumpingofthe barrel.<br />
‘‘It appearedthat the steelplatehas<br />
failedalong the corroded steel at the<br />
waterline.’’<br />
Under repair ... Work under way on culvert battered by February floods.<br />
The report says the structure was not<br />
previously recorded in [council’s]bridge<br />
database prior to the failure and hence,<br />
had not been included in bridge<br />
inspections ‘‘foranumber of years’’.<br />
At lastweek’s council meeting,<br />
councillor Paul Williams queried<br />
whetherits contractors should be liable,<br />
rather than the ratepayers footingthe<br />
bill.<br />
‘‘Should our contractors be held<br />
responsible for the culvertfailure<br />
becauseifthat drain had been cleaned<br />
out properly would it have happened?’’<br />
Senior engineering advisor Don Young<br />
saysmattersofongoing maintenance was<br />
council’s responsibility and there were<br />
doubts over whetherincreased<br />
maintenance would have made a<br />
difference.<br />
‘‘Itwas quite asubstantialflood,<br />

regardless of the level of maintenance of<br />
the waterway.’’<br />
Only pedestrians can accessthe<br />
culvert area, withButchers Road<br />
remaining closedtomotorists due to the<br />
‘‘riskofcollapse’’.<br />
The closureofthe roadhas sparked<br />
community frustration,particularly from<br />
farmers who are experiencing<br />
disruption, councilsays.<br />
It has indicated in its reportrestoring<br />
accesswas amatter of urgency, but it was<br />
seeking further advice from engineerson<br />
what would be required to openthe road<br />
to lightvehicles.<br />
Repair of the existing culvert was<br />
considered but was not deemed viable<br />
due to the ‘‘lesser lengthoflife, higher<br />
cost and greater risk’’.<br />

OPINION<br />
6 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>May</strong> <strong>19</strong>, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Araft of reforms are<br />
dominating media<br />
There are araft of reforms dominating<br />
acrossall media. Three Waters is so<br />
focused on meetingDrinking Water<br />
Standards, there is littleattention being<br />
focused on waste and storm water,<br />
while the ResourceManagement Act is<br />
being repealedand replaced withthree<br />
new acts thatwill govern the future of<br />
our country —the NaturalBuiltAct,<br />
Spatial Planning Act and the Climate<br />
ChangeAdaption Act.<br />
These are considerable, and<br />
undoubtedly will change the landscape<br />
of our country.<br />
Another legislative change, the<br />
National Emergency Management<br />
Agency, is planning to align three<br />
piecesofemergency management<br />
legislation thatpurportstobuild a<br />
modern, fit for purpose, enduring<br />
framework for emergency management<br />
so communities better understandthe<br />
risks they faceand are better prepared<br />
to respondto, and recover from<br />
emergencies.<br />
The Hon Geoffrey Palmer stated in<br />
<strong>19</strong>89 ‘‘sometimes it doesusapowerof<br />
good to remind ourselvesthat we<br />
live……. Where two tectonic plates<br />
meet, in asomewhat lonelystretch of<br />
windswept ocean just above the roaring<br />
forties. If you want drama–you’vecome<br />
to the right place”.<br />
The overall purpose during an<br />
emergency is to provide the response<br />
with overall direction,control, interagencycoordination<br />
and resources to<br />

Given that we have someofour<br />
communities that are at differentstages<br />
of understandingand planning for<br />
emergencies,itmay be helpful to<br />
understandwhat some groups are<br />
planning. The Hawarden Waikari Civil<br />
Defence team,alongwith critical<br />
emergency services, are collectivelyto<br />
host apublicmeetingon<strong>May</strong> 26, at 7pm<br />
in WaikariHall, to share information of<br />
how local responses work.<br />
This is afabulous initiative<br />
particularly for newcomers to the area,<br />
or those who are seeking an update, to<br />
betterunderstand what risksthe<br />
communityfaces and the workour<br />
emergency servicesprovide in the<br />
community.<br />
If other communities wouldlike to<br />
host asimilar information session, I<br />
welcome you to contact Allan Griggon<br />

sitting councillors have indicated<br />
they willbeseeking reelection,but<br />
Crs DerrickMillton and Tony Blunt<br />

seeking asecond term.<br />
Mr Mackle says thereare ‘‘plenty of<br />
exciting projects’’ to keephim<br />
motivated.<br />
‘‘I haveenjoyed the whole thing. It’s<br />
reallygood doing what you can to help<br />
people.<br />
‘‘The council is in apretty strong<br />
position compared to whatitwas a<br />
few years back and we are getting the<br />
roading sorted.’’<br />
While the Three Waters reformis<br />
continuing to cause some headaches,<br />
some ‘‘exciting’’ projects like the<br />
WakatuQuay redevelopment and the<br />
proposed KaikouraLink Pathwayare<br />
starting to take shape.<br />
Cr Millton, aClarence Valley<br />
farmer, says he wouldlike to see some<br />
young people put their handsup.<br />
‘‘Kaikoura is going reallywell and<br />
is building on the earthquakerebuild.<br />
‘‘There’s beenalotofnew buildings<br />
going up in the last few years<br />
including the hospital, the police<br />
station, St John and the firestation, so<br />
the infrastructureisthere and we are<br />
looking good.’’<br />
Both Crs Milltonand Blunt have<br />
provided arural voice on the council<br />
and are keen to see the rural<br />
community represented.<br />

ANZ Bank<br />
ATM to close<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
The ANZ bank automated teller<br />
machine (ATM) in Amberley is to be<br />
shut down and customers are being<br />
advised to use arival bank’s ATM<br />
instead.<br />
An ANZ bank spokesperson said the<br />
bank plans to shut down the ATM<br />
which is located in leased space at<br />
Brackenfields Mall on the corner of<br />
Carters and Amberley Beach roads.<br />
‘‘We understand the local<br />
community values the service<br />
provided by the ANZ ATM in Amberley<br />
but in order to provide ongoing service,<br />
we need consistent electrical supply<br />
and the ability to access the site to<br />
service the machine as required,’’ the<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
‘‘Unfortunately, we have been<br />
experiencing disruption to electrical<br />
supply and having issues accessing the<br />
site.<br />
‘‘While we have worked hard over a<br />
number of months to find aresolution<br />
to these issues, ANZ has made the<br />
difficult decision to exit the site.<br />
‘‘We understand the frustration this<br />
will cause customers and apologise for<br />
the inconvenience,’’ the spokesperson<br />
said.<br />
‘‘We would like to confirm that there<br />
is aWestpac ATM in Amberley<br />
available 24/7 which our customers can<br />
use for free.’’<br />
Aremoval date for the ANZ Bank<br />
ATM has yet to be confirmed and the<br />
spokesperson said the machine will<br />
continue working in the meantime.<br />

Farmers face challenging times<br />
By ADAM BURNS<br />
AWaimakariri dairy farmer believes the<br />
ruralsectorhas becomea‘‘pressure<br />
cooker’’, takingatoll on farmers’ mental<br />
health as aresult.<br />
Swannanoadairyfarmer Sam Spencer<br />
Bower, who is chair of theWaimakariri<br />
Landcare Trust, saysthose at the top need<br />
to be aware of the strain farmersare facing<br />
amid several challenges the sector is<br />
enduring.<br />
Extensive administrativeduties,<br />
brought about by socalled high handed<br />
regulations on farm, and alabour shortage<br />
meansheisone of many who are spending<br />
significanttime in the office, as opposed to<br />
out on the paddock.<br />
‘‘It’s not reallywhat Isigned up for,’’ he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Farming is becoming more<br />
complicated.<br />
‘‘Everyoneisshortofstaff and costs are<br />
goingup.’’<br />
When it cametoenvironmentaland<br />
climate change impacts,hesays farmers<br />
were not the villains.<br />
‘‘We wanttoget keep gettingbetter at<br />
farming,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘We’re not trying to wreck the<br />
environment.<br />
‘‘Butwe’ve gotsomany things coming at<br />
us.’’<br />
Mr SpencerBower, who admitshas<br />

spokeataconference in Christchurch last<br />
monthabout rural mentalhealth,<br />
alongside Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey<br />
and eatingdisorder campaigner Rebecca<br />

He says further workwas required in<br />
developing farmers’ skills in dealing with<br />
pressure.<br />

than others.<br />

The general disillusionment of the rural<br />
community against multiple Government<br />
policies has reportedly grown in recent<br />
times.<br />
This frustrationcame to ahead in<br />
November when thousandsoffarmers<br />
took theirtractors to the streets as part of<br />
theGroundswell NZ protests.<br />

Rural Support Trust <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
chair GayleLitchfield says resilience was<br />
prominent among communities,but there<br />
wasalimit to this.<br />
‘‘People can copewith curveballs,’’she<br />
says.<br />
‘‘But it’s when you start to layer up the<br />
curveballs and then throw adrought on<br />
top of that, that’s when peoplestop<br />
coping,’’ she says.<br />
‘‘Your resilience canstill get worn<br />
down.’’<br />
She suspected the rural community was<br />
learning to adapt and communityled<br />
agricultural initiatives on the groundwere<br />
showing awillingness for innovation.<br />
‘‘We’ve been taughtadifferent way and<br />
now they’re wanting that all to change,’’<br />
she says.<br />
‘‘We don’t haveeasy access to all that<br />
information...we’refarmers, we’renot<br />
scientists.’’<br />
She saysthe support trust remained<br />
open those wanting to talk, asentiment<br />
echoed by the Ministry for Primary<br />
Industries (MPI).<br />
MPI’sacting director of rural<br />
communities and farming support Andrew<br />
Spelman says the ministry invests in<br />
several programmestohelp strengthen<br />
the resilience, connectedness and<br />
wellbeing of communities.<br />
‘‘[Weare] undertaking significantwork<br />
to support farmers, growersand whenua<br />
Maoriownerstoadapt to changeand<br />
improve land management practices,’’ he<br />
says.<br />
MPI confirmed last weekithad renewed<br />
funding for two programmes training<br />
farmers,growers and other rural people to<br />
manage pressure and adapt to change.<br />
The AgriWomen’sDevelopment Trust<br />
(AWDT) has beenallocated$339,000 to<br />
expand its ‘KnowYour Mindset. Do What<br />

Good visibility when driving is key to<br />
staying safe. In foggy conditions, dust on a<br />
windscreen makes it easier for moisture in<br />
the air to hang on affecting your visibility.<br />
The cleaner your windscreen and windows,<br />
the more visibility you have. The better you<br />
can see, the better for everyone.<br />

Staff turnover begins to bite<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Waimakariri District Council is<br />
grapplingwithhigher staff turnover than<br />
usual, as labour shortages continuetobite.<br />
Staffturnoverhas been hovering above<br />
15 percent since latelast year, compared to<br />
the preCovid rate of 710%, says chief<br />
executive Jim Harland. But this is still<br />
lowerthan other industries,with the<br />
nationalaverage being 2024%, he says.<br />
Staffmove on for avarietyofreasons,<br />
with several heading off to higher paid<br />
government jobs,MrHarland says.<br />
Some level of staff turnover is goodfor<br />
bringing in new ideassogettingthe right<br />
balance is essential, he says.<br />
‘‘If it’s too low you’re not getting new<br />
ideasand if it’s too high you’re not getting<br />
continuity. Compared to the national<br />
average we havegoodstaffretention, but<br />
we would like to see thatturnover<br />
reduced.’’<br />
Work areas under themost pressure<br />
include threewaters, engineering,<br />
resourceconsent staff,building inspectors<br />
and planning staff,where thereisalimited<br />
supply of people with the right skills.<br />
The council has employed interns and<br />
summer graduates to help the threewaters<br />
staffget through the backlog, Mr Harland<br />
Jim Harland<br />
says.‘‘Inboth casesyou can endupwith<br />
useful employees, but it takes time.’’<br />
Gaps will often be filled withconsultants,<br />
but even they are underpressure.<br />
Mr Harlandsays he has beenhaving<br />
conversations with chiefexecutives from<br />
neighbouring councils around retention of<br />
key staff.<br />
Arecent staff survey found most staff<br />
were happy in their work,hesays. Work /<br />
life balance and the opportunity to support<br />
the community werecited as the most<br />
attractive reasonstowork for the council.<br />
Roading contract awarded<br />
Corde Limited (formerly Sicon Ltd) has<br />
been awarded the road maintenance<br />
contractfor Hurunui District Council.<br />
An evaluationteam found Corde had the<br />
appropriate resource levels, experience<br />
and management team to ensure levels of<br />
service could be met.<br />
The contract term is for five years, with<br />
two additional two year extensions<br />
availableifthe performance criteria are<br />
met.<br />
The currentcontract with Corde expires<br />
on June 30.<br />
Council’s chief executive Hamish Dobbie<br />
says awardingthe contract to Corde is good<br />
for the district.<br />
‘‘Theywill continue to work hard<br />
providing the district with agood level of<br />
service,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘We expected to see amarked difference<br />
in pricing for the new contract, versusthe<br />
old, and this is understandable giventhe<br />
global issues and uncertainty everyone is<br />
aware of, coupled to inflation.’’<br />

HOW TO RIDE AT YOUR BEST<br />
WHEN THE SEASONS CHANGE<br />
Autumn isabeautiful time of year to ride but the transition from dry roads towet can be<br />
abit of achallenge. Here’s some ways you can make it easier.<br />
•Preparing your bike for awet ride can make abig difference. Check that tyres have<br />
plenty of tread, no damage, and are correctly inflated. Changing your bike’s<br />
suspension to be slightly softer will give you better feedback and grip in cold, wet<br />
conditions.<br />
•Summer rain dries out fast onthe road, but that is not the case as temperatures<br />
drop. Wet conditions also affect how much grip is available, with varying levels<br />
across different types of surfaces. When riding in autumn, beaware of damp and<br />
wet patches onthe road. Use your positioning to put your contact patches onthe<br />
best bit of road available to you.<br />
•Traction is compromised by excessive braking, acceleration and deceleration, but<br />
especially sowhen the road is slippery, solook to regulate the movements you’re<br />
making.<br />
•Wet roads and reduced grip mean you need to build up the braking force smoothly<br />
and progressively. The more slippery it gets, the more you’ll favour the rear brake<br />
because, if it skids, the consequences are alot easier to manage.<br />

Crowd flocks to Balcairn Hall<br />
Last Sunday afternoon<br />
more than 80 braved the<br />
drizzle to attend Albi and<br />
the Wolves at the Balcairn<br />
Hall.<br />
The strong combination<br />
of Albi, Pascal and<br />
Michael, with three<br />
instruments, captivated<br />
the audience with a<br />
flowing, harmonious<br />
variety of their own songs<br />
and music.<br />
Pascal, the violinist, had<br />
performed in the hall<br />
seven years ago with<br />
MIHO, also amemorable<br />
event.<br />
This time his virtuosity<br />
captured and stunned the<br />
audience.<br />
It was the first visit to<br />
Balcairn for the band<br />
leader, Albi. His<br />
enthusiasm and skill on<br />
the guitar and lyrics<br />
excelled from go to whoa.<br />
Michael, the double bass<br />
player completed the band<br />
with great effect. Alow key<br />
and dry quantity of<br />
Albi and the Wolves<br />
humour completed the<br />
performance.<br />
Also of mention was the<br />
input of aroving and very<br />
skilled sound technician<br />
who continuously<br />
observed and adjusted the<br />
sounds produced, which<br />
were flawless.<br />
This is another excellent<br />

Winter maintenance ... Now is the time to do awinter feed budget to help set up pastures<br />
for spring.<br />
PHOTO:FILE<br />
Plan now for winter feed<br />
Late autumn is an idealtime to do a<br />
winterfeed budget to helpmeet livestock<br />
performance targetsand set up pastures<br />
for spring.<br />
On arecent Beef +Lamb New Zealand<br />
feedplanningwebinar, farm systems<br />
scientist Tom Fraseroutlined the value of<br />
carrying out afeed budget to drive<br />
profitability and reduce farmer stress<br />
levels.<br />
He saysafeed budget will identify<br />
deficits and surpluses and highlight any<br />
red flags so actionscan be takenearly.<br />
‘‘Doing something is better than waiting<br />
for disaster to happen and every timeyou<br />
do afeed budget you willget better at it,’’<br />
Dr Fraser said.<br />
Farmers in differentpartsofthe<br />
country are goinginto winter with<br />
differentchallenges.<br />
Many regions have had awet summerso<br />
feed quality couldbeanissue.<br />
Everyone is affected by Omicronrelated<br />
supply chain disruptions.<br />
All these challenges build astrong case<br />
for putting together afeed budget going<br />
into winter.<br />
Dr Fraser saysafeed budgetwill allow<br />
decisions to be made earlyand feed to be<br />
allocated to priority stock,and ensure<br />
animals are fed to meet their<br />
requirements,not management<br />
requirements.<br />
Afeed budgetissimplyallocating<br />
potentialfeed supply to meet animal<br />
demand.<br />
This plan couldcover awhole farmfor<br />
one year, part of afarm for ashortperiod,<br />
or even just one paddock for one stock<br />
class for aday.<br />
‘‘It’snot an exact science but it willhelp<br />
you make decisions.’’<br />
The informationrequired to put<br />
together afeed budgetincludes stock<br />
classes and numbers, stock weights and<br />
production status (maintenance or<br />
growth), feedavailable, including pasture<br />
covers(sward sticks will help measure<br />
coversand help calibrate the eye),and<br />
supplementary feed(grain, hay nitrogen).<br />
With all the necessaryinformation on<br />
hand, Dr Fraser recommends working<br />
through each class of stocktocalculate its<br />
requirements and total feed demand.<br />
It is important to include feed<br />
utilisation, which will vary dependingon<br />
the quality of the feedand climate.<br />
Dr Fraser saysitisimportant to note<br />
that baleage is not 100 percent dry matter<br />
agood estimate is 50% dry matter.<br />
Aspreadsheet,available throughB<br />
+LNZ extensionmanagers,will allow<br />
users to run differentscenarios and test<br />
differentmanagementstrategies.<br />
Dr Fraser sayswinter is the easiest time<br />
to do afeed budgetasgrowth ratesdon’t<br />
vary muchthrough the colder months.<br />
Farmers who are goinginto winter with<br />
long pasturecovers and tag need to<br />
address the issue of qualitybefore spring.<br />
Dr Fraser recommends using whatever<br />
class of stock is availabletoclean up<br />
areas where qualityisimportant going<br />
into spring, rather than tackling the whole<br />
farm.<br />
This, for example, could be where twinbearing<br />
ewes are setstocked for lambing.<br />
With potential processingdelays, lambs<br />
shouldbemaintained and if they are not<br />
up to weight, consider buying supplement<br />
to increase growth rates and achieve<br />
targetweights.<br />
To work out the costeffectiveness of a<br />
supplement, Dr Fraser suggestsusing the<br />
cost of grain as the benchmark, as this is<br />
ahighqualityfeed withhigh utilisation.<br />
‘‘It is never efficient to take weight off<br />
an animal.<br />
‘‘It takes three times the amountof<br />
energytoput on akilogramofliveweight<br />
on an animal than whatyou’re saving by<br />
takingweightoff.’’<br />

Next Thursday’s (<strong>May</strong> 26) <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> bull walk provides farmers<br />
with the opportunity to see what<br />
breeding bulls are available in the area.<br />
Kaiwara Angus of Culverden will be<br />
opening its gates on Thursday, with 25<br />
‘‘meaty’’ bulls on display, ahead of its<br />
annual onfarm sale on Thursday, June<br />
16, from 11am.<br />
The stud was established in <strong>19</strong>73, with<br />
all breeding stock run on the dry hills of<br />
Culverden.<br />
The dry hilly conditions are ideal for<br />
testing the fertility and constitution of<br />
the animals, manager George Johns says<br />
An intensive AI programme is coupled<br />
with sourcing bulls and females from<br />
various studs around the country to keep<br />
the stud’s genetics at the forefront.<br />
‘‘On offer will be 25 meaty hill country<br />
bulls backed by acomprehensive three<br />
year guarantee,’’ Mr Johns says.<br />
Enquiries can be made to George Johns<br />

Te Mania Angus bulls will go under the<br />
hammer in an onfarm sale at Conway<br />
Flat Road, Parnassus, on Wednesday,<br />

10am.<br />
The stud has been operating at Conway<br />
Flat in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> since <strong>19</strong>28,<br />
having been established by Edwin and<br />
Esther Wilding.<br />
Today, the Wildings run 500 Angus stud<br />

Cheviot farmer and keen fisher Daniel<br />
Maxwell has plenty to keep him busy,<br />
despite stepping down from his role with<br />
Federated Farmers.<br />
Mr Maxwell stepped down as <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> meat and wool chairperson<br />
at the provincial annual meeting at<br />
Leeston earlier this month, after four<br />
years in the role.<br />
But he will continue to provide a<br />
farmer voice as Federated Farmers’<br />
representative on the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Fish and Game Council, as well as<br />
playing an advisory role to support his<br />
successor.<br />
He will also continue to serve on the<br />
Hurunui Adverse Events Committee.<br />
The last four years have been eventful,<br />
tackling drought, flooding, regulations<br />
and Covid<strong>19</strong>.<br />
‘‘You name it, there’s been afair bit<br />
going on,’’ he says.<br />
He is stepping back to focus on his<br />
farming business and to spend more time<br />
with his family.<br />
Mr Maxwell says progress has been<br />
made in recent years in finding common<br />
ground between Federated Farmers and<br />
Fish and Game.<br />
He looks forward to helping the two<br />
organisations continue to work together<br />
for ‘‘a better future’’.<br />
‘‘There’s alot of things there that are of<br />
concern to both farmers and Fish and<br />
Game, like firearms regulations, so<br />
there’s alot of common goals.<br />
Mr Maxwell is keen to find a<br />
replacement meat and wool chairperson.<br />
‘‘If need be, Iwill be adelegate at the<br />
[Federated Farmers] meat and wool<br />
council meetings, because it’s really<br />
important <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> has avote<br />
and some influence.<br />

‘‘But if anyone is keen to take on the<br />
role Iwould encourage them to do it or to<br />
go along as an observer to get afeel for<br />
what the role is about.’’<br />
After several years of drought, Mr<br />
Maxwell says this season has been the<br />
best one on his farm in more than 20<br />
years.<br />
‘‘We just had 15mls of rain so that’s<br />
been really welcomed as we were getting<br />
abit dry, but we’ve had afantastic<br />
autumn.<br />
‘‘We’ve been really lucky we’ve had<br />
extra feed on hand when it’s come to a<br />
shortage of capacity at the works. If it had<br />
been dry it would have been difficult.<br />
‘‘I came back to the farm in 2000 and it<br />
was just like this, but this is the first<br />
really good season we’ve had since then.’’<br />

Farmer wellbeing concerns<br />
By TIM CRONSHAW<br />
Farming families are being told to put<br />
their health first as workloads come<br />
under pressure from Covid<strong>19</strong> sickness.<br />
Unwanted longCovid is the risk they<br />
face if they drive themselves too hard to<br />
make up for being shorthanded as<br />
workers isolate or look after ill family<br />
members.<br />
To lighten the load on teams, <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> dairy farmers are reducing<br />
milkings, and are grateful that the peak<br />
has arrived at the tailend of the dairy<br />
season.<br />
The concern is that sheep and beef<br />
farmers who are sole owneroperators<br />
will also put their own welfare second to<br />
that of livestock.<br />
Federated Farmers <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
president Caroline Amyes said it was<br />
important that farmers got the worklife<br />
balance right when infection rates were<br />
high, and to keep in mind their health<br />
and safety.<br />
‘‘This isn’t unique to farmers, and as it<br />
continues to root through the country,<br />
people have to look after themselves and<br />
isolate until they get better.’’<br />
Some farmers have introduced flexible<br />
rostering and adjusted rostered or<br />
annual days off.<br />
Others had reduced their milking<br />
frequency to help them get through this<br />
period, she said.<br />
‘‘They’ve gone 16hour milking, onceaday<br />
milking or 10 milkings in seven<br />
days.<br />
‘‘There has been challenges getting<br />
cull cows to the works and possibly<br />
labour is having an impact on that.<br />
Labour supply was already tight and our<br />
unemployment rate was really low, so it’s<br />
been challenging.<br />
‘‘When you are ateam member down<br />
Caroline Amyes<br />
with Covid it just makes it harder to<br />
bear.’’<br />
Ms Amyes said the timing was<br />
fortunate in that milkings could be<br />
tweaked.<br />
‘‘If we continue to have Covid into<br />
calving, that would be areally hard<br />
situation for people to manage.’’<br />
She said sheep and beef farmers<br />
should contact the Rural Support Trust<br />
for help, rather than place their health at<br />
risk by continuing to work when they are<br />
sick.<br />
No farmer wanted longCovid, she said.<br />
With border restrictions starting to<br />
relax, Federated Farmers hopes more<br />
Kiwi, migrant and other workers will<br />
enter the country to fill gaps in rosters.<br />
But meaningful relief might not arrive<br />
until next year.<br />
Kaikoura wetland planting<br />
Kaikoura farmers are encouraged to<br />
join acommunity wetland planting day<br />
next week.<br />
The New Zealand Landcare Trust is<br />
leading aplanting day on Thursday<br />
(<strong>May</strong> 26) at the Kaikoura<br />
Demonstration Site as part of the<br />
‘‘Managing Wetlands As Farm Assets’’<br />
initiative.<br />
The planting will be on the wetland<br />
at Silverbank Farm, which is one of 14<br />
demonstration sites between Kaikoura<br />
and Otematata.<br />
The wetland area has been fenced<br />
off and preplant spraying has been<br />
completed in preparation for the day.<br />
The farm is owned by Will and Chris<br />
Boyds and managed by Shannon<br />
Wards, who is passionate about the<br />
area.<br />
‘‘It’s simple, farmers have been<br />
pretty hard on the land in the past, so<br />
it’s giving back to nature, to what is<br />
should be like,’’ Shannon says.<br />
‘‘It’s about the health and wellbeing<br />
of the land, to help revert at least some<br />
of it back to what it would have been<br />
generations ago.<br />
‘‘As abit of agreenie, it’s about<br />
replenishing, filtering and<br />
encouraging ahealthy place on the<br />
land.’’<br />
The aim of this 3year project is to<br />
work with farmers and the wider<br />
community to provide advice and<br />
share knowledge about the range of<br />
benefits both natural and constructed<br />
wetlands offer to the farming system,<br />
the environment and the wider<br />
community.<br />
The planting day will take place from<br />
10am to 3pm, with amorning session<br />
beginning with abriefing at 10.15am<br />
and an afternoon session briefing at<br />
1pm.<br />
Lunch will be sponsored by the<br />
Kaikoura Zone Committee between<br />
12pm and 1pm, with RSVP required.<br />

NAIT bull movement rules<br />
When bulls are sold or leased for mating<br />
there are legal requirements for farmers<br />
to be aware of, says Ospri New Zealand.<br />
Ospri remindsfarmers that the bull<br />
provider and farmer receiving the<br />
animals must record movements in<br />
NAIT.<br />
When you send bulls off the farm you<br />
need to ensure they are tagged and<br />
registered in NAIT, complete an animal<br />
status declaration check if the animals<br />
need apremovement TB test or arrange<br />
aservicebull TB test.<br />
Asending movement needs to be<br />
recorded in NAIT within 48 hours of the<br />
animals leaving your farm.<br />
Farmers receiving bulls need to check<br />
that the bulls are tagged and registered<br />
in NAIT and tested for TB if they are<br />
from amovement control area.<br />
They should also check that they<br />
receive an animal status declaration<br />
form and confirm all bull movements in<br />
NAIT within 48 hours of the animals<br />
arriving on their property.<br />
Whenever an animal moves on or off<br />
your farm, you will need to recorda<br />
movement in the NAIT system recording<br />
your NAIT number, the NAIT number of<br />
the sender or receiver and the date the<br />
animals moved.<br />
Individual RFID tag numbersofthe<br />
animals that havemoved should also be<br />
recorded.<br />

<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>May</strong> <strong>19</strong>, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Saracens remains unbeaten<br />
RUGBY<br />
By PETER WILLIAMS<br />
With just two roundsof section play left<br />
before the quarterfinals,Saracens is the<br />
only unbeaten teaminthe Luisetti Seeds<br />
country rugby competition.<br />
It is alsothe only team to have already<br />
secureditself aguaranteed positionin<br />
the quarterfinals.<br />
Saracens has the bye in the last round<br />
of section play, but has already secured<br />
sufficientpointsto qualify.<br />
Avictory over the improvingOhoka<br />
team nextSaturday, in amatchthat<br />
doubles for the DeansShield, would<br />
ensure Saracens homeadvantage in<br />
everymatch its plays in the knockout<br />
finals series.<br />
The only other <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> sides<br />
with any chance of qualifying are<br />
GlenmarkCheviot and Kaiapoi, with the<br />
former being the more likely after<br />
beating Kaiapoi at the weekend.<br />
Kaiapoi vGlenmark<br />
Cheviot<br />
The teamthat madethe fewest errors<br />
prospered.<br />
Kaiapoi, especially in the backs was<br />
frankly awfulinthe first half, conceding<br />
astring of penalties that ensured<br />
GlenmarkCheviot spent most of the half<br />
on attack.<br />
That enabled CalebBeck who had a<br />
solid gameat firstfive, to kick two<br />
penalties while in the second quarter<br />
Angus Gibb who wasonthe top of his<br />
form,and MattJensen toucheddownto<br />
give the visitors avery handy halftime<br />
lead of 16nil.<br />
Some straight talking, no doubt, bythe<br />
Kaiapoicoaches at halftime was quickly<br />
rewardedbyagood try to replacement<br />
lock,Bailey Counihan.<br />
Game on. The scoring seesawed in a<br />
tightand entertaining second half.<br />
GlenmarkCheviot led <strong>19</strong>12 when Beck<br />
scored the try of the match that sealed<br />
Kaiapoi’s fate.<br />
It had its genesis in the vision of Mike<br />
Keane who sliced back for an inpass<br />
creating agap. As Kaiapoi’s cover<br />
engulfed him he offloaded to Beckwho<br />
scored closetothe posts.<br />
There was just enough timeon the<br />
clockfor Kaiapoi to mount aprolonged<br />
siegeonGlenmarkCheviot’s line.<br />
Peter Mudunaivalu matched his<br />
brother’s effort from earlier in the half by<br />
scoring what provedtobemore than just<br />

Ashley vWoodend<br />
Afterahardfought battle,Ashleygot the<br />
better of adeterminedWoodend side at<br />
GladstonePark. Ashleystartedto gain<br />
somedominance with Jack Marshall<br />
controlling his backs well. Fullback<br />
Nathan Emery scoredabrace of tries<br />
while Korbyn Gray,onthe wing, proved<br />
hardto put down, oftenattracting<br />
multiple defenders.<br />
At the base of the scrum,TylerPower<br />
madethe most of his opportunities with<br />
several sniping runs.He was rewarded<br />
with atry rightonthe stroke of halftime,<br />
giving Ashley a250 lead.<br />
Instructionsto the Ashleypack wereto<br />
be more direct in the second half and it<br />
was rewarded with three forward tries.<br />
LukeDuckworth, Nick Sim and Elijah<br />
Coulstonall workedtirelessly in the<br />
Ashley pack, as did evergreen prop,<br />
Andrew Olorenshaw, who put in a<br />
sterling effort in his 100th match for<br />
Ashley.<br />
This addstohis 137 appearances for<br />
Burnsidein the Metrocompetition,and<br />
his 37 gamesfor <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Woodend neverstopped trying and<br />
wererewarded by atry in the 76th<br />
minute.<br />
Matt Handwas one of its bestforwards,<br />
while halfback Jayden Stokes utilised<br />
the boxkick to goodeffectin an excellent<br />
allroundperformance, while Jayden<br />
Young was the best of the rest of the<br />
Woodend backline.<br />
Woodend 7 (Daniel Pauro try, Ethan<br />
Hobbs conversion) lost to Ashley44<br />
(Nathan Emery (2), Korbyn Gray, Tyler<br />
Power, Richie Hancox, Josh Duckworth<br />

conversions).<br />
Saracens vSpringston<br />
Thiswas an important win for the<br />
Saracens as Springston was in second<br />
positionin the pool goinginto the match,<br />
and it began as though it was determined<br />
to knockSaracens off its perch.After<br />
trading early penalties Springston<br />
scored the first try and wasleading103<br />
at the end of the first quarter.<br />
But the second quarter belonged<br />
almost entirely to Saracensasitpiledon<br />
20 unanswered points, with goodtries to<br />
Hadrian Jacksonand Ollie Bithray, while<br />
the everreliable Ricky Allinconverted<br />
themboth and added two further<br />
penaltiestoenable Saracenstotakea<br />
2310 leadinto halftime.<br />
Saracens thensurvived arockyperiod<br />
during the thirdquarter muchof which<br />
wasplayed with 14 menwhen bench<br />
player,IsaacPulley, was sinbinned.<br />
Whentwo furtherSpringston penalties<br />
closed the gap to 2316 it seemed as<br />
though apulsating finish wasbeckoning.<br />
Springstonpiled on the pressure but the<br />
Saracens defence held.With thatassault<br />
repulsed,Saracens rallied andfinished<br />
much the stronger of the two teams, with<br />
Ricky Allin landingtwo more penalties<br />
before areplacement, LemuelHill,put<br />
the issue beyond doubtwith atry in<br />
injury time.<br />
Saracens’defensive effort wasled by<br />
clubstalwart, Nathan Goodwin, who was<br />
adeserved winner of his team’splayeroftheday<br />
award. Others to impress<br />
included the rugged prop,Rawiri<br />
Karena, while the importance of Ricky<br />
Allintothis team,especially with regard<br />
to his goalkicking ,should never be<br />
underestimated.<br />
Springston 16 lost to Saracens34<br />
(Hadrian Jackson,OllieBithray,Lemuel<br />
Hilltries,Ricky Allin 5penalties and 2<br />
conversions).<br />
Methven vOxford<br />
Methven is one of three teams, the others<br />
being Lincoln and Southbridge,who are<br />
all tied up on 17 points at the top of the<br />
standingstable in Section 1, after<br />
Methvenhad little difficultyindisposing<br />
of Oxford on Saturday. Oxfordtriedhard<br />
to matchthe efforts of Methven.Flanker<br />
BenFosterand lockLiam Stevenson<br />
were the pick of the packbut Methven<br />
had the game well undercontrol<br />
throughout. Methven 38 beat Oxford10<br />

Changing Colours<br />
It’s that time of year as we move into autumn and<br />
the changing colours of the leaves are creating a<br />
beautiful scene across the Waimakariri District. With<br />
this also comes the drop ofleaves along the berms,<br />
footpaths and gutters of tree-lined streets.<br />
Street sweeping will ramp up in streets that have a<br />
high build-up ofleaves in the road kerb and channel,<br />
and this will occasionally be supplemented by staff<br />
on the ground with blowers to remove the build-up of<br />
leaves on verges and footpaths at critical times.<br />
Joanne McBride, Roading Manager says, “Leaf pickup<br />
happens aer leaves ‘turn’, and weather events<br />
bring down amass drop. Because of this, accurate<br />
programming of sweeping is difficult. Contractors<br />
regularly check and assess tree-lined streets to make<br />
sure kerbs and channels are clear.”<br />
This year leaf fall has been extremely late and not<br />
consistent throughout the district, so it is not aneasy<br />
task to schedule individual streets. Following feedback<br />
from residents, streets can be inspected todetermine<br />
whether extra sweeping isactually necessary and ifso,<br />
those streets can beprioritised efficiently.<br />
Anumber ofstreets are known high leaf-fall streets<br />
and will be monitored for pick up during autumn.<br />
Residents can help out by removing leaves from<br />
outside their homes and putting them intheir<br />
compost, green or red bin, and are encouraged to<br />
park vehicles off-street wherever possible during<br />
heavy leaf fall, so that the sweeper can access the<br />
leaves and do amore thorough job.<br />
During autumn, it’s impossible to maintain aleaf-free<br />
street atall times as weather and wind can cause<br />
amass drop. During windy conditions, leaves may<br />
build up again within hours of aclean. Streets will<br />
be monitored and additional sweeping rounds will be<br />
done where needed.<br />
Chemical Recovery Events Planned for<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> Farmers and Growers<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> farmers and growers are being urged to<br />
make use of asubsidised programme to return their<br />
unwanted orexpired agrichemicals.<br />
Throughout June, Agrecovery will be running several<br />
chemical recovery events in the <strong>Canterbury</strong> region.<br />
With free or subsidised recovery and disposal ofmore<br />
than 3000 products, the programme provides the<br />
perfect opportunity to safely dispose of potentially<br />
dangerous chemicals.<br />
Agrecovery Chief Executive Tony Wilson says, “The<br />
agrichemical recovery programme isacrucial part<br />
of the work Agrecovery does to ensure the safety of<br />
the environment and the future of the agriculture and<br />
horticulture industries.”<br />
“These are chemicals that could pose asafety risk<br />
by being le in sheds,” says Wilson. “Recovering old<br />
legacy orunwanted chemicals ensures they don’t end<br />
up in landfills or in our waterways. We want to see<br />
farmers and growers book safe disposal to alleviate<br />
any potential safety risk.”<br />
These collections events follow onfrom extremely<br />
successful events held in<strong>Canterbury</strong> in 2020 where<br />
nearly 6,000 kg of agrichemicals were recovered and<br />
safely disposed of. Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> (ECan)<br />
is again partnering with Agrecovery to support the<br />
programme, alongside Ashburton, Hurunui, MacKenzie,<br />
Selwyn, Timaru, Waimakariri, Waimate and Waitaki<br />
District Councils.<br />
Bookings for the June <strong>Canterbury</strong> events are essential.<br />
Farmers, growers, and contractors can log their<br />
unwanted and expired chemicals for collection with<br />
Agrecovery by registering atagrecovery.co.nz or<br />
calling 0800 247 326.<br />
Council ConcernedAbout Road Sign Vandalism<br />
Arecent spate ofroad sign vandalism will mean many<br />
Waimakariri motorists will be unsure what obstacles<br />
lie ahead of them when driving across the District.<br />
Road signs are important cues for road users to<br />
warn, encourage or inform them –they help us make<br />
good decisions, can provide direction and warn us of<br />
something weneed to know.<br />
The Council’s Roading &Transport Manager Joanne<br />
McBride says that unfortunately for Waimakariri<br />
motorists there has been arecent increase in the<br />
number ofsigns being vandalised.<br />
“We’ve seen asharp increase in the number of road<br />
signs being cut down or run over in the Mandeville<br />
and Ohoka areas specifically.<br />
“While the people doing this might think it’s a<br />
victimless crime, the reality is that drivers rely<br />
on speed and warning signs, markings and other<br />
features to help them safely drive and without road<br />
signs the likelihood someone will have an accident is<br />
alot higher.”<br />
The Council wants everyone, whether they’re walking,<br />
cycling, driving, motorcycling or taking public<br />
transport, toget where they’re going safely.<br />
