Proposal at<br />
Ohoka for<br />
850 homes<br />
Aproposal to create alarge newsubdivision for<br />
about 850 houses at Ohokahas passed throughits<br />
first stage.<br />
Aprivate plan change request to develop anew<br />
155.9 hectare subdivision was accepted for<br />
notification at acouncilmeetingonTuesday.<br />
Thedeveloper, Rolleston Industrial Developments<br />
Ltd,isproposing to build aresidential subdivision<br />
between Whites and Bradleys Roads at Ohoka, of<br />
varying property sizes.<br />
Theproposed development also includesaround<br />
6000square metres of commercial floor space and<br />
car parking, and thereisprovision foreither anew<br />
school or aretirement village.<br />
In areport to Tuesday’s councilmeeting, principal<br />
policyplanner MarkBuckley saysthere were no<br />
grounds forrejecting the request outright.<br />
But he did note the plan change requestinits<br />
present form would substantially change the District<br />
Planand the council’s Rural ResidentialStrategy.<br />
Thereisgeneral acceptance urban developmentis<br />
necessary to cater for anticipated populationgrowth<br />
among theGreater Christchurch partners.<br />
Butthe proposed Ohoka subdivisionwas not<br />
identified for development in the OurSpace<br />
20182048: GreaterChristchurch Settlement Pattern<br />
Update, which was prepared in 2018.<br />
Thedeveloper argues in its application the<br />
proposal ‘‘isgenerally consistent with theobjectives<br />
and policies of the National Policy Statementon<br />
Urban Development’’.<br />
Mr Buckley saysthese arguments wouldbe best<br />
assessed at apublic hearing.<br />
Mayor Dan Gordon says the council’s decision to<br />
accept the private planchangerequest for<br />
notification is ‘‘aproceduralmatter’’and ‘‘does not<br />
signalsupport or otherwise’’.<br />
‘‘This is not aproposal that the council has<br />
initiated or evenanticipated. The council will be<br />
making its decision on whether to make asubmission<br />
in thecoming weeks andwewill be appointing<br />
someone to offer independent advice.’’<br />
Councillorsalso passed amotion to appoint ‘‘a<br />
friend of submitters’’.<br />
Mr Gordon says ‘‘a friend of submitters’’ is a<br />
concept employed by neighbouring councils, where<br />
someone withplanning expertise is appointedto<br />
assist members of thepublic wanting to make a<br />
submission.<br />

The caregiver of aWowauzer called<br />
Beau has hadalong,anxious waitfor<br />
him to return from a41/2 hour<br />
adventureinthe Ashley Rakahuri<br />
RegionalPark.<br />
Beau is owned by Shona Wix,of<br />
Rangiora, but theminiature<br />
SchnauzerWelsh terrier cross was in<br />
the parklast Thursday afternoonwith<br />
Shona’s daughter,JoWix, and Jo’s dog<br />
Billyfor theirafternoon exercise.<br />
Jo is also her mother’scaregiver and<br />
exercisesboth dogstogether twice a<br />
day, ofteninthe Ashley Rakahuri<br />
RegionalPark in Rangiora.<br />
Last Thursday she arrived at the<br />
park around 4pm and let the dogs out<br />
of her car for their late afternoon<br />
exercise. They both ran off together,<br />
but ashortwhile later only Billy<br />
returned.<br />
Beau is Shona’s best friend and a<br />
very precious member of the Wix<br />
family, so when he didn’treturnwith<br />
Billy, Jo was immediately concerned.<br />
‘‘I couldn’t go home withouthim,’’ Jo<br />
said.‘‘He is such awee cutie, mum<br />
wouldbeabsolutely distraught if<br />
anything happened to him.’’<br />
So shestayed where she had last<br />
seen Beau, and kept calling out to him.<br />
Billywent off to lookfor his canine<br />
companion acouple of times, but<br />
returned alone and as darkness<br />
approachedJobecameincreasingly<br />
anxious about the wee dog, fearing he<br />
may be stuck down arabbit hole<br />
somewhere in the park.<br />
‘‘Terrible things go through your<br />
mind.They both lovechasing rabbits<br />
and thereare so many in the park.’’<br />
Jo’s son, Andrew, joined her at the<br />
park to helpher findhim. He drove<br />
around the park calling out to Beau,<br />
and eventuallyhethoughthesaw the<br />
little dog in another area of the park<br />
fromwhereJowas waiting.<br />
Jo joined Andrew there and soon<br />
after, around 8.30pm,a‘‘saturated,<br />
meekand mild’’Beau arrived,jumped<br />
into Jo’s car keen for the food she had<br />
waiting for him. He was alittle worse<br />
for wear, and snoozed on Shona’s bed<br />
most of the next day.<br />

Average rate rise of 4.5 percent<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The proposed Pegasusand Ravenswood<br />
community centre projects are on hold<br />
while the Waimakariri DistrictCouncil<br />
considers its options.<br />
Councillorsvoted lastweek to defer<br />
the process of purchasing land in<br />
Pegasus and Ravenswood, north<br />
Woodend, during its annual plan<br />
deliberations<br />
Deferringthe processbyayear will<br />
allow council staff to continue<br />
negotiations with developers for suitable<br />
land, greenspace manager Grant<br />
MacLeod said in areporttothe meeting.<br />
The delay will allowthe council to<br />
consider all the options including a<br />
possible public /private partnership<br />
with Pegasus developerTempleton<br />
Group,Mayor Dan Gordonsays.<br />
‘‘Clearlywewant to explore all those<br />
details and have aconversation with the<br />
community to see if they thinkit’s agood<br />
option.’’<br />
The council set aside $6.1 million for<br />
the 2<strong>02</strong>2/23 financial year in last year’s<br />
2<strong>02</strong>1/31 Long TermPlan for land<br />
purchases in Pegasus and Ravensdown.<br />
The intentionwas to begin<br />
construction on anew Pegasus<br />
Community Centre in 2<strong>02</strong>4, whilea<br />
Ravenswood facility was signalled for<br />
later in the LTP period.<br />
The council settled on an average4.5<br />
percent rates rise in this year’sannual<br />
plan, up from the 4.2% signalled in last<br />
year’sLTP, with the extra 0.3% due<br />
largely to the rising costofconstruction<br />
materials.<br />
‘‘Our staff have worked very hard to<br />
come up with what is arealistic budget<br />
for agrowing district,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />
‘‘There has been aseries of workshops<br />
with staff and elected memberstoget to<br />
this point and we also realise it’s ahard<br />
time for our community,soweneed to<br />

The rates rise includescontributions<br />
towardsthe council’s earthquakeloan<br />
and the MainPower Stadiumloan,while<br />
Covid19, the situation in the Ukraine,<br />
rising fuel prices and inflation are all<br />
having an impact.<br />
Council staffare also predicting<br />
another 825 new houses could be builtin<br />
the districtover the next 12 months, as<br />
the region continues to grow.<br />
‘‘It’s all interlinked. All things<br />
considered, to get to wherehave got to, to<br />
keepitto4.5%, it’s been ahuge<br />
achievement,’’ Mr Gordon says.<br />
The council also approved an extra<br />
$20,000 for the WaimakaririYouth<br />
Council’s DudleyPark project, alongside<br />
the $20,000 approved in the 2019/20<br />
annualplan.<br />
The youth council is also finalising<br />
community sponsorshipsoitcan finally<br />
complete the project,which has been<br />
delayed due to Covid19.<br />

Paua fishery closure successful<br />
Paua are popular amongrecreational<br />
fishers at Kaikoura.<br />
The results of asurvey taken during a<br />
temporaryopening over the summer—<br />
December 1toFebruary 28 —saw over35<br />
tonnes of the popularshellfishharvested.<br />
The fishery was closed for nearly five<br />
yearsalong thecoastline after the 2016<br />
earthquakes whichcaused significant<br />
uplift and loss of marine life.<br />
DirectorofFisheries Management,<br />
Emma Taylor, says science indicates the<br />
closure was successful in rebuilding the<br />
fishery,especially in shallow wading<br />
depths where large paua are particularly<br />
abundant.<br />
She saysthe accessible stock and really<br />
good summerweather brought outlotsof<br />
recreational fishers, both localand<br />
visiting.<br />
‘‘This fishery is precious, and we’ve<br />
worked closely withthe community to take<br />
alongterm view of its management. The<br />
openingover the summerwas always<br />
intended to be temporary to give us an<br />
indicationofhow the fishery would<br />
respondtofishing pressure. We will use<br />
this informationtohelp us make future<br />
decisions about the fishery.’’<br />
Thesurvey of more than1700<br />
recreational fishers overthe season<br />
estimates that fisherstook around2.8<br />
tonnes of paua fromthe northern part of<br />
thefishery (PAU 7), around 35 tonnesfrom<br />
thesouthernpart of the fishery (PAU3A).<br />
Thesurvey showed many people<br />
gatheredpaua fromthe shore,and in more<br />
accessible areas, such as thosenear or<br />
aroundcarparks. Theresults also indicate<br />
that less recreational paua fishing took<br />
placeoutside of these areas.<br />
‘‘On top of being able to find paua close<br />
to the shore, thesurveyshowed that most<br />
paua taken were larger than 130mm well<br />
abovethe minimum size limitof125mm,’’<br />
says Ms Taylor.<br />
Therewas an increasedpresence of MPI<br />
Fishery Officers patrollingthe area over<br />
the open season. Of the people spoken to<br />
more than90percentwerefollowing the<br />
rules.<br />
‘‘Unfortunately,therewere some that<br />
didn’t followthe rules resulting in around<br />
120 offences,with most of thosepeople<br />
receivingeither awarningor<br />
infringement,and two facing<br />
prosecution.’’ The preliminary survey<br />
results are being peerreviewed,and<br />
available on MPI’s website when<br />
completed.<br />

Staffing, costs affect businesses<br />
Pressures affecting businesses the<br />
world overhave seepedinto the <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> business community,<br />
according to the latest economic<br />
surveys released this month.<br />
Enterprise <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s<br />
business opinionsurvey and the<br />
Waimakariri District Quarterly<br />
Economic Monitor from Infometrics<br />
have highlighted significantrises in<br />
cost, and difficultiesrecruiting staff,<br />
are weighingheavily on localbusiness<br />
operators.<br />
Eightypercentofrespondents in the<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> Business Opinion<br />
Surveyreported increased costs over<br />
the pastsix months,whichhas had a<br />
flowon effectinto profitability.<br />
As aresult, 44% of surveyed<br />
businesseshave had to increase their<br />
pricesinthe past six months,with 59%<br />
expecting to do so before the end of the<br />
year.<br />
Enterprise <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
business supportmanager Miles Dalton<br />
says the dataoncost increases was<br />
significant, but not surprising.<br />
‘‘This is the highestresponse to<br />
increased coststhat we have had since<br />
thissurvey began nine yearsago in<br />
2013.<br />
‘‘It is not unexpected as rising costsof<br />
doing business are currently an issue<br />
worldwide due to alarge number of<br />
factors including risinginflation, war in<br />
Ukraine,supplychainbottlenecks,<br />
increasing oil prices and climate<br />
impact among other things.’’<br />
Labour shortages are another<br />
problemfor businesses worldwide at<br />
present,and <strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
businesses are also feeling this.<br />
Survey respondentsstate that it is<br />
significantlyharder to find bothskilled<br />
and unskilled staffthan it was six<br />
months ago.<br />
‘‘This is atrend we are seeingthe<br />
world over,’’ Mr Dalton says.<br />
‘‘Our local businesses are facing a<br />
supply shortage of suitable applicants,<br />
alack of trainingamong those thatdo<br />
apply, and issues with the current<br />
immigrationpolicy settings.<br />
‘‘Despite this triple whammy,the<br />
number of peopleemployed in <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>continues to grow.’’<br />
The employment rate is not the only<br />
positive to emergefrom the reports,<br />
with the Infometrics Monitor showing<br />
increasesintourismexpenditure,<br />
consumer spending and 10.5% GDP<br />
growth on the previous year.<br />
Results also show thatlocal<br />
businesses are investing more heavily<br />
in plant and equipment thanatany time<br />
since2014, which Mr Dalton says is<br />
extremely positive.<br />
‘‘Investinginplant and equipment is<br />
asure sign of business confidence,’’he<br />
says.<br />
The survey indicates a4%net<br />
improvement in business confidence<br />
amonglocal businessoperators.<br />
‘‘Allinall, the results show that while<br />
things are difficult at the moment,<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> businessesare<br />
continuing to weather the storm and<br />
maintain positivity,’’ Mr Dalton says.<br />

Relationship queried<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The HurunuiDistrict Council plans<br />
to resumeits Chinese connections,<br />
despite concernsover human rights<br />
abuses.<br />
MayorMarie Black advised<br />
councillors at last week’s council<br />
meeting thatshe had been invited to<br />
meet with new Chinese Consul to<br />
Christchurch, Madam He Ying,<br />
whichled to adiscussion aboutthe<br />
council’s sistercity relationship<br />
with Changping province.<br />
Whilethe link was formally<br />
established in 2015, the uncertainty<br />
of Covid19 has led to astallingofthe<br />
relationship over the last two years.<br />
Councillors recognised the legacy<br />
of Rewi Alley, who was schooled in<br />
Amberleybefore spending 60 years<br />
in China, and the economic benefits<br />
to the region.<br />
But several expressedconcerns<br />
aboutChina’s human rightsrecord.<br />
‘‘Youcan’t just gloss over human<br />
rights issues,’’ Cr Ross Barnes says.<br />
‘‘Youcan’t just turnablind eyeto<br />
things we believe in, in this<br />
country.’’<br />
Despite some reservations,<br />
councillors agreedtoresumethe<br />
links.<br />
Councillors alsoapproved funding<br />
for flood remediation works, anew<br />
road naming and new fees and<br />
charges. Funding of $305,000 was<br />
approved as the council’s share of<br />
emergency worksvaluedatjust over<br />
$1 million following the December<br />
2<strong>02</strong>1 rain eventand excyclone Dovi<br />
in February.<br />
The local sharewill be loan<br />
funded, withWaka Kotahi New<br />
Zealand TransportAgency expected<br />
Hurunui Mayor Marie Black<br />
to contribute72percent of the costs.<br />
The flooddamage includes<br />
scouringofroadsides and bridges,a<br />
section of LakeSumner Road which<br />
was washedaway,damagetofords<br />
and washouts which narrowed<br />
roads.<br />
The repair works willalso<br />
improve theresilience of roads and<br />
bridges in abid to reducelong term<br />
maintenance costs.<br />
Councillors have adopted the<br />
name of FosterPlace for anew road<br />
created by the subdivision of 60<br />
Osborne Road, 63 Courage Roadand<br />
4Aberdeen Place in Amberley.<br />
The road is namedafter Amberley<br />
resident Barrie Foster,alocal<br />
electrician who has given service to<br />
the Amberley School, Amberley<br />
Lions, AmberleyRugby Cluband the<br />
Amberley VolunteerFire Brigade.<br />
Anew schedule of fees and<br />
charges has been adopted, which<br />
reflects rising costs to the council.<br />
Details of the new chargeswill be<br />
available on the council’s website.<br />

Rangiora centenarian to be remembered<br />
Mary Elm Ager had acalm,<br />
philosophical nature.<br />
The centenarian, who contributed<br />
much to the Rangiora community, died<br />
last month, aged 104.<br />
Mary was born on September 15, 1917<br />
in Wairoa, where her father, Theo, an<br />
architect, designed the Wairoa Freezing<br />
Works and became managers before the<br />
family moved from Hawke’s Bay to<br />
Christchurch in 1926. Acouple of years<br />
later the family shifted to Rangiora,<br />
where Theo became manager of the<br />
Farmers Trading Company department<br />
store. He was also deputy Mayor of<br />
Rangiora for atime.<br />
Mary attended Rangiora High School<br />
and later became aboarder at St<br />
Margaret’s College in Christchurch,<br />
before eventually joining her father<br />
working for the Farmers, twice, for a<br />
total of 35 years. She retired at 60 to look<br />
after her mother.<br />
Mary was an avid community worker<br />
supporting the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
Soroptomists, Probus (now known as<br />
Friendship New Zealand), the Rangiora<br />
Museum, and Rangiora Lions.<br />
Travel played abig part in her life.<br />
The elegant centenarian spent three<br />
years during her 30s working as ananny<br />
in New York, where acousin was the<br />
New Zealand ConsulGeneral and trade<br />
commissioner, before visiting other<br />
areas of the United States and Canada.<br />
In New York —‘‘the city that never<br />
sleeps’’ —Mary was excited to find<br />
stylish shoes to fit her long feet. Mary<br />
also attended many diplomatic<br />
functions in New York, where she met<br />
people from all over the world. She also<br />
travelled to Europe. In England, one of<br />
her highlights was avisit to Buckingham<br />
Palace for agarden party, where she<br />
stood close to the Queen, while afamily<br />
trip to Australia in 1939 also proved<br />
unforgettable.<br />
During aroad trip from New South<br />
Wales to Melbourne, where Mary’s<br />
father, Theo, was born, the family<br />
experienced the Black Friday bushfires<br />
in Victoria. The heat was so intense that<br />
Mary and her siblings spread ice cream<br />
on their faces to cool down.<br />
The rough sea voyage home to New<br />
Zealand also proved unforgettable with<br />
many people on board, including Mary’s<br />
mother, Grace, becoming sea sick.<br />
She outlived her two brothers and a<br />
sister. She never married, although she<br />
was engaged, but sadly her fiancé died<br />
during the war.<br />
Mary was acherished aunt of Joanne<br />
and Dinesh Chand, Susan and Russell<br />
King and Peter and Sharyn Ager, and<br />
Great Aunt of Matthew King, Laura and<br />
Torran James, Joshua King, Nikhil<br />
Chand and Vijay Chand, according to<br />
her Memorial notice.<br />
AMemorial Service is being held for<br />
Mary at 2pm, on Friday, <strong>June</strong> 3, at the<br />
<strong>North</strong>brook Chapel and Rossburn<br />
Reception Centre, Rangiora. Donations<br />

OPINION<br />
6 The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>June</strong> 2, 2<strong>02</strong>2<br />
In the Electoratewith<br />
MattDoocey<br />
MP forWaimakariri<br />
Authorised by Matt Doocey MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington.<br />
Helping constituents<br />
arewarding part of job<br />
As alocal MP one of the most rewarding<br />
aspects of my role is getting results for<br />
constituentslike ICU nurseCarlos Molina.<br />
Carlos was stooddown fromhis job at<br />
Christchurch Hospital after contracting<br />
Covid.<br />
He came to see me after finding himself<br />
off work, and without pay.<br />
He wasn’table to get his mandatory<br />
booster vaccine due to having recently had<br />
the virus, but was unable to get an<br />
exemption from theMinistry of Health in a<br />
timely fashion.<br />
AfterIcontacted the CDHBCarlos was<br />
quickly back to workonfull pay.<br />
Thankfully afterspeakingtothe Ministry<br />
of Health an announcementwas made to<br />
review and amend the exemption process<br />
across the country that willensureno<br />
otherhealth workers willhave to go<br />
through the bureaucratic bungle that<br />
Carlos experienced.<br />
We needpeople like Carlosacross the<br />
country to be working in our hospitals, not<br />
sitting at home unpaid because of delays in<br />
the system.<br />
This was agreat resultnot only for<br />
Carlos but for manyothers like him across<br />
New Zealand.<br />
I’ve alsobeen advocating locallyfor<br />
residents and businesses affectedbythe<br />
closure of one lane on the old Waimakariri<br />
Bridge, following an accident two weeks<br />
ago.<br />
Abig part of this issuehas beenthe utter<br />
confusion over whichagencyis<br />
responsible for the bridgesrepairs.<br />
With NZTA Waka Kotahi and the<br />
Christchurch City Councilseemingly<br />
confused for anumberofdays overwhose<br />
bridgeitwas, places like Waimak<br />
Challengepetrol station were losing<br />
business because of the lack of passing<br />
traffic.<br />
As the only alternative route in and out<br />
of Christchurch if the motorway bridge is<br />
closed, we need abetterprocess to identify<br />
the responsible agency and swiftly get on<br />
with the repair.<br />
Iwas saddened to hear of the recent<br />
passing of Dame ArohaReritiCrofts<br />
DNZM who, in the 2<strong>02</strong>0Queen's Birthday<br />
Honours, wasappointed aDame<br />
Companion of the New ZealandOrderof<br />
Merit for herservices to Māori and the<br />
community. Ihad the privilegeof<br />
attending areception at Parliament with<br />
formerWaimakariri MP Kate Wilkinsonto<br />
celebrate Dame Aroha’s appointment, as<br />
well as alocal celebration in Rangiora<br />
with Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon.<br />
Ilovedspeaking with<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
University politicsstudentsinKaiapoi<br />
recently about relevant public policy<br />
issuesfor regional New Zealand.<br />
We covered topics including the current<br />
astronomicalhouse priceinflation, the<br />
achievability of reliable public transport<br />
in the regions, afterhourshealthcare, and<br />
theneed to support our farmers who<br />
underpin the need to support ourfarmers,<br />
who underpin ourlocal economies.<br />
Waimakariri<br />
Focus from Dan Gordon, Mayor<br />
Afocus on budgets<br />
The cold weather is here,but I’ve<br />
stillbeen enjoyingthe last of the<br />
autumn sunshine and getting out to<br />
enjoynumerouseventsacross the<br />
Districtover the lastfew weeks.<br />
It has been abusy month for<br />
council withthe focus being on<br />
budgets, hearing submissions and<br />
decision making.<br />
As acouncil we believe we have<br />
landed on aprudent and responsible<br />
budget that recognises we are a<br />
growing district and, in the times of<br />
Covidand an uncertaineconomic<br />
climate,weneed to keep rate<br />
increasesaslow as possible.<br />
We agreedonanaverage rate rise<br />
of 4.5 percent.<br />
We understandthat it is one of the<br />
lowest rate increasesinNew<br />
Zealand.<br />
Each year,the Waimakariri<br />
DistrictCouncil celebrates the<br />
people who have madegreat<br />
contributions to theWaimakariri<br />
District.<br />
Now in their 30th year, the<br />
WaimakaririCommunity Service<br />
Awards formally recognisethe<br />
substantial commitment of the<br />
unsung heroes who work quietly in<br />
the background makingour<br />
communityabetterplacetolive.<br />
Last week we heldthe ceremony<br />
for the award recipients along with<br />
theirfamily, friends and supporters.<br />
This year there weretwo Mayors<br />
Awardrecipients, and 11 people<br />
received aCommunity Service<br />
Award,including three couples.<br />
Anew awardcategory, aBusiness<br />
Award,was established.<br />
There were alsotwo awards<br />
presented during the year.<br />
To find out more about the<br />
recipients visit waimakariri.govt.nz.<br />
We arefortunate to have adistrict<br />
full of passionatepeople who<br />
dedicate themselvesand their time<br />
to the bettermentofWaimakariri.<br />
While Iknow many do so because<br />
of their passionfor the community,<br />
it is important we thank and<br />
celebrate them, and their significant<br />
contributions.<br />
It is the least we can do, on behalf<br />
of agrateful community, to say<br />
thankstopeople whogothe extra<br />
mile to give outstanding service.<br />
This month we have sadlylost two<br />
significantmembers of our<br />
community.<br />
Kaiapoi’sChris Greengrass and<br />
council’s kaumatua DameAroha<br />
ReritiCrofts.<br />
Both had given hugely to their<br />
communitiesover anumber of years<br />
—Dame Arohaatboth alocal and<br />
national level.<br />
Our community is so muchthe<br />
betterfor their involvement, and we<br />
mourn our loss with theirpassing.<br />
Our thoughtsgoout to their<br />
families at this sad time.<br />
Rest in peace Chrisand Dame<br />
Aroha.<br />

Planting in new Kaiapoi community space<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
11<br />
Two community leaders have been<br />
remembered during the first planting<br />
day for anew heritage and mahinga kai<br />
area in Kaiapoi.<br />
The remembrance was made by<br />
Waimakariri District Mayor, Dan<br />
Gordon, who along with Te Marino<br />
Lenihan (Ngai Tuahuriri), and his<br />
daughter KuraTawhiti Rupene, aged 4,<br />
of Tuahiwi, planted one of five young<br />
totara trees at Huria Reserve last<br />
Saturday morning.<br />
Mr Gordon said it was really<br />
important and significant to be planting<br />
the totara, which are recognised<br />
symbols of nobility, strength and social<br />
solidarity, in the new community space<br />
at atime when the Waimakariri<br />
community was mourning the loss of<br />
Dame Aroha ReritiCrofts, who died on<br />
May 20, and Chris Greengrass, who died<br />
on May 15.<br />
Both women were highly regarded<br />
leaders in the community and will be<br />
greatly missed, he said.<br />
The new heritage and mahinga kai<br />
area is located in the south of Kaiapoi,<br />
off Courtenay Drive, and aims to<br />
recognise the significance of cultural<br />
values for the Ngai Tuahuriri Runanga.<br />
The Regeneration Kaiapoi project is a<br />
collaboration between the Te Kohaka o<br />
Tuhaitara Trust, the Ngai Tuahuriri<br />
Runanga and the Waimakariri District<br />
Council.<br />
It will include walking trails, anative<br />
forest, an eel fishing area, education<br />
hub, acarved waharoa (gateway), agrass<br />
amphitheatre, awetland area and an<br />
area for waka carving.<br />
The harvesting of harakeke (flax) and<br />
raupo, (a New Zealand bulrush<br />
traditionally used for construction,<br />
decoration and poi making) is also<br />
planned at the reserve.<br />

Tuahuriri), of Tuahiwi, with his daughter KuraTawhiti Rupene, aged 4, after they planted<br />
atotara during the community planting day at Huria Reserve in Kaiapoi last Saturday.<br />
PHOTOS: SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Eight hundred small trees were<br />
planted by alarge group of volunteers<br />
who attended the planting day last<br />
Saturday.<br />
The volunteers included Karl Batt and<br />
his son Te Ariki, aged 8, of Leeston, who<br />
also helped plant Kaiapoi's Honda<br />
Forest during several community<br />
planting days beginning in 2019.<br />
The council’s landscape architect and<br />
project manager for the Huria Reserve<br />
project, HannahRose White, said she<br />
was thrilled with the turnout of<br />
volunteers on Saturday who planted 800<br />
young native trees and plants, including<br />
totara, kahikatea, kanuka, ribbonwood,<br />
lemonwood and harakeke.<br />
More planting days are planned with a<br />
total of 4000 trees to be planted in the<br />
new reserve.<br />

Mentoring ... Kaiapoi Borough School tuakana (senior) students are taking<br />
leadership opportunity to support teina (junior) students.<br />
Student mentors at KBS<br />
Kaiapoi Borough School has<br />
introduced a‘‘Tuakana Teina<br />
programme’’ as part of its senior<br />
leadership development.<br />
The programme provides senior<br />
(tuakana) students with the<br />
opportunity to grow their leadership<br />
skills by working alongside and<br />
supporting ajunior (teina) student<br />
within the school.<br />
The tuakana are trained to mentor<br />
and befriend their little buddies and<br />
meet up with them several times per<br />
week.<br />
It is atime for them to role model<br />
school values and build relationships<br />
across the different age groups.<br />
PHOTO:SUPPLIED<br />
‘‘It makes me feel like aleader in the<br />
school for our younger students. Ilike<br />
seeing his enjoyment when we play<br />
together,’’ says Zach.<br />
‘‘I really like him and Ilike playing<br />
with him. He always helps me out and<br />
is nice to me,’’ says Beaudyn.<br />
Both the tuakana and teina look<br />
forward to this special time each week.<br />
‘‘I really like getting to know<br />
someone new and helping them to<br />
open up and make new friends,’’ says<br />
Matthew, one of the tuakana.<br />
‘‘She is nice and she makes me feel<br />
happy when Iamsad. Ilike reading<br />
with her,’’ says Zanthe, one of the<br />
teina.<br />
Wrestling takes centrestage<br />
Everyone has fond<br />
memories of professional<br />
wrestling from their<br />
childhood, characters that<br />
were tougher than old boot<br />
leather and their larger<br />
than life personalities.<br />
Even their catch phrases<br />
were replicated in the<br />
playground.<br />
Who hasn’t at one time<br />
mimicked the Macho Man<br />
Randy Savage’s ‘‘ooohhhh<br />
yeaaaahhhh’’ in that trade<br />
mark gravelly voice or<br />
even Hulk Hogan’s ‘‘what<br />
cha gunna do brother’’<br />
while flexing their biceps?<br />
If that brought back fond<br />
memories you might want<br />
to be at the Kaiapoi Club<br />
and MSA on Saturday,<br />
<strong>June</strong> 18, for Unified<br />
Championship Wrestling’s<br />
Big Event.<br />
Why is it called the big<br />
event?<br />
Well it is simple really.<br />
That’s because it is an<br />
event so big it has to have<br />
two main events, that’s<br />
right two main events.<br />
Fan favourites such as<br />
Bogan Jesus, Rhys Gibson,<br />

Bokashi bins let you recycle your food waste.<br />
COMPLETED PROJECTS:<br />
The new weighbridge atAmberley Transfer Station<br />
Rogersons Bridge: The hardwood timber wheel rubs have been replaced, which were<br />
recycled from the Lyttleton Wharf. The ford access on the north side will remain open and all<br />
wide vehicles are encouraged to use this. Road markings to highlight the three metre<br />
maximum width and point to the ford location have been installed, and acamera will also be<br />

Amberley Weighbridge: Please make sure you follow the painted arrows and enter via the<br />

transfer station, always use the weighbridge on your left. This weighbridge is one of the<br />
projects listed in the Council's Long Term Plan.<br />

reached another milestone, with the completion of the new toilets. These have been funded<br />
by Council and the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. Landscaping options are being discussed<br />
amongst the community.<br />

Minister of Lands, who facilitated the purchase ofthe Cheviot Hills estate for the<br />
Government from ‘Ready Money’ Robinson’s five daughters. It was subsequently divided<br />
into 54small farms, and the town was named Cheviot.<br />

Padi puts her hand up<br />
Padi Nistalehas three passions —<br />
communityconnection, the<br />
environment,and governance.<br />
Thesehave prompted Padi to put her<br />
hand up for election in the local<br />
government elections in October, in the<br />
WaimakaririDistrictCouncil’s<br />
Rangiora Ashley Ward.<br />
Localgovernment is new to Padi,but<br />
she is already involved in many local<br />
initiativesand organisations following<br />
her move to alifestyle block in the<br />
WaimakaririDistrictin2014. Padi says<br />
sincebecoming relatively selfsufficient<br />
on theirlifestyle block, and<br />
having plantedtrees to help reduce<br />
theircarbon footprint, she believes as<br />
much foodproduction as possible in the<br />
Waimakaririshould be brought back<br />
home.Itwould be good for the<br />
environment,she says.<br />
Massive action was required in ‘‘our<br />
own backyard’’ to tackle climate<br />
change.<br />
Padi says there is adisconnect<br />
between making policy and putting<br />
wordsinto action.<br />
‘‘If people can come together, and<br />
starttaking action, and seek help<br />
through the local council,wecan make<br />
changes happen.<br />
‘‘That is one of the big reasons Iam<br />
standing,’’ she says.<br />
But her biggestpassion is community<br />
connectiveness.<br />
‘‘I love being part of the community,’’<br />
she says.<br />
Padi says she has moved alot in life<br />
and havingbuilt theirhome on their<br />
lifestyleblock six years ago, it is now the<br />
longest she has stayed anywhere in her<br />
life.<br />
Four of those yearshave beenspent<br />
in avoluntary role for the Waimakariri<br />
Barriers for Crate Day<br />
Temporarybarriersmay be installed at<br />
access points on theAshleyRakahuri River<br />
on CrateDay laterthis year to stop 4WD<br />
vehicles putting nestingbirdsatrisk.<br />
The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>Departmentof<br />
Conservation(DOC) is considering<br />
installing the barriersafterdriversoflarge<br />
numbers of 4WD vehiclesentered the river<br />
bed in Waimakariri’s AshleyRakahuri<br />
RegionalPark.<br />
CrateDay, which is held annuallyonthe<br />
firstSaturday in December to celebratethe<br />
startofsummer, has been widelycriticised<br />
by police and members of Parliament for<br />
also promoting binge drinking.<br />
Last year DOC staff collaborated with<br />
AshleyRakahuri RivercareGroup(ARRG)<br />
volunteers and Environment<strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
stafftoprotect nestingareas alongthe river<br />
during Crate Day.<br />
‘‘Several species of endangered birds,<br />
including the wrybill/ngutu pare,blackfronted<br />
tern/tarapirohe and blackbilled<br />
Padi Nistale<br />
migrants group —Global Localsofthe<br />
Waimakariri. The group celebrates<br />
diversity, and fosters agreater<br />
understanding of different cultures and<br />
what it's like moving to New Zealand.<br />
Padi thought volunteering was a<br />
waste of time,but has found it<br />
liberating. ‘‘It has givenmesuch a<br />
buzz.’’<br />
This has led to her joining several<br />
other groups and organisations<br />
including Rangiora Rotary, Rangiora<br />
Promotions, Timebank Waimakariri,<br />
and lendingahand at the Waimakariri<br />

biodiversity ranger SandyYong.‘‘Eggs<br />
and chicksare vulnerable to vehicles as<br />
they cannot getout of the way, while<br />
adults may abandon their nestsifthey are<br />
disturbed.’’<br />
For species which nest in colonies,<br />
such as blackbilled gulls, this<br />
disturbance can mean the entire colony is<br />
abandoned. Last year, acoupleofweeks<br />
before Crate Day, ARRG volunteers did a<br />
bird count from the AshleyGorge to the<br />
Okukuconfluence.<br />
‘‘We found three blackfronted tern<br />
colonies and alerted DOCtothem,’’says<br />
ARRG volunteer Grant Davey. ‘‘There<br />
were also bandeddotterel and piedstilt<br />

when the work got tough.<br />
‘‘My future looks so much brighter than<br />
it did ayear ago,’’she says.<br />

awarded by Mayor Marie Black, and she<br />
spoke about the collaboration between<br />
the Ministry of Social Development<br />
(MSD), Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs and<br />
Hurunui District Council.<br />
‘‘Through these partnerships we have<br />
managed to place almost 100 youths in<br />
sustainable work over the past two years.<br />
‘‘I am extremely grateful for our<br />
partners, businesses and staff who have<br />
invested their time into our young<br />
people.’’<br />
MSD Account Manager Jamie Kissock<br />
and Rangiora colleagues attended the<br />
celebration, along with programme coordinator<br />
Emma Anderson, chair of<br />
MTFJ and Mayor of Otorohanga District<br />
Council, Max Baxter ,<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />

have witnessed such positive changes in<br />
the youth.<br />
‘‘Being on this journey with our youth<br />
has been very fulfilling, we are extremely<br />
proud of them and wish them the best for<br />
their futures,’’ Chris says.<br />

Rates rise under 5%<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
The Kaikoura District Council<br />
is confident it can keep this<br />
year’s average rates rise<br />
under five percent.<br />
Mayor Craig Mackle says the<br />
council is ‘‘powering ahead’’<br />
with its annual plan, which<br />
has no changes from last<br />
year’s 2<strong>02</strong>1/31 Long Term Plan<br />
(LTP), despite the uncertainty<br />
of Covid19.<br />
‘‘The team had done a<br />
fantastic job on the Long Term<br />
Plan and getting that out to the<br />
community and everyone<br />
agreed with it, so we’re just<br />
rolling that over.<br />
‘‘We are doing what we<br />
promised. We’re working on<br />
the roads and footpaths and<br />
that’s going great guns and<br />
next year we will really step<br />
that up.’’<br />
As there are no changes<br />
from the LTP, the council is<br />
not required to consult with<br />
the community.<br />
Council staff expect to wrap<br />
up the annual plan at a<br />
workshop with councillors on<br />
<strong>June</strong> 14, before the final<br />
adoption on <strong>June</strong> 29.<br />
The average rates rise will<br />
be between 4.3% and 4.9%,<br />
corporate services senior<br />
manager Murray Dickson said<br />
at last week’s council meeting.<br />
‘‘There’s still abit of work to<br />
do. We have been able to offset<br />
that by keeping our budgets<br />
tight and looking at our<br />
council reserves.’’<br />
But he did warn that some<br />
urban residents could be in<br />
for asurprise following the<br />
release of Quotable New<br />
Craig Mackle<br />
Zealand’s latest Kaikoura<br />
property valuations.<br />
The new valuations see<br />
residential property values<br />
increasing by more than 39%<br />
on average.<br />
It means some residential<br />
property owners could be in<br />
line for ahigher rates bill,<br />
while some rural property<br />
owners could see adrop in<br />
their rates demand.<br />
‘‘If you look at it percentage<br />
wise it might be ashock, but<br />
the actual dollar value<br />
probably won’t make much<br />
difference,’’ Mr Mackle says.<br />
‘‘Any increase is going to<br />
make adifference, but if it<br />
doesn’t go up we will end up<br />
going backwards and it’s abig<br />
hole to crawl out of.’’<br />
Red Cross Op shop in demand<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Rangiora’s Red Cross Shop is<br />
calling for donations of goods due<br />
to the high cost of living<br />
increasing demand.<br />
Lead coordinator Rhonda<br />
Bloxham says the low wage<br />
economy, coupled with the high<br />
cost of groceries and fuel has seen<br />
an increase in opportunity shop<br />
customers.<br />
‘‘It is just really tough out there<br />
for people. Things are really tight.<br />
People are really struggling,’’ she<br />
says.<br />
However, some people also<br />
enjoy shopping at opportunity<br />
shops for the chance to find retro<br />
clothing and other items<br />
unavailable elsewhere.<br />
‘‘We get some lovely clothes<br />
donated,’’ Rhonda says.<br />
Everything is priced to sell with<br />
one or two items, such as dining<br />
plates, socks and scarves selling<br />
for only 50c.<br />
‘‘We cater for everyone,’’ she<br />
says.<br />
The shop sells clothes, shoes,<br />
gloves, handbags, scarves,<br />
jewellery, magazines, books,<br />
curtains, children’s toys and<br />
household goods.<br />
All donations are welcome but<br />
bric abrac items such as small<br />
vases, porcelain figurines and<br />
decorated teacups are in<br />
particular demand, as are warm<br />
woollen (especially merino)<br />
jumpers, blankets and coats.<br />
Rhonda also asks that people<br />
ensure the items they are<br />
donating are clean otherwise they<br />
can’t be sold.<br />
‘‘We don’t have the facilities<br />
here to wash clothing,’’ she says.<br />

Although most people do ensure<br />
the items they are donating are<br />
clean, some go the extra mile by<br />
ironing and neatly folding the<br />
clothes they donate. ‘‘We really<br />
appreciate that,’’ Rhonda says.<br />
The current trend for recycling<br />
and reusing items to help<br />
minimise waste is also driving an<br />
increase in opportunity shop<br />
customers, Rhonda believes.<br />
She has noticed people coming<br />
into the store buying extra plates,<br />
AREHERE!<br />
and other crockery, for large<br />
family dinners rather than buying<br />
paper plates they have to put in<br />
the rubbish after they have been<br />
used.<br />
They can then keep them or<br />
donate them back to the store. The<br />
Rangiora Red Cross Shop is at 94<br />
Victoria Street and is open<br />
Monday to Friday from 10am to<br />
4.15pm and Saturdays 10am to<br />
2pm. Phone (03) 3107421 for more<br />

Young Farmers look to the future<br />
New Zealand Young Farmers<br />
(NZYF) is launching anew<br />
funding model.<br />
The NZYF Community has been<br />
set up to help the organisation<br />
become more financially<br />
sustainable to support its<br />
networks of more than 60 clubs.<br />
Board chairperson Kent Weir<br />
says the new funding model will<br />
transform the way the<br />
organisation works and create<br />
more avenues to better support<br />
young people in the sector.<br />
As anonprofit organisation, it<br />
previously relied on project and<br />
outcomebased funding to support<br />
its 3500 memberships across all of<br />
its networks.<br />
‘‘New Zealand Young Farmers<br />
has aproud history since its<br />
establishment in 1927 and we<br />
want to make sure that we can<br />
continue to provide help to Young<br />
Farmers and rural communities,’’<br />
he says.<br />
‘‘The NZYF Community will<br />
enable us to continue our work<br />
and create lasting opportunities<br />
and avenues for support and<br />
success.<br />
‘‘It has enabled us to set astrong<br />
pathway for future growth.’’<br />
The initiative is being launched<br />
with support from the Ministry for<br />
Primary Industries’ Sustainable<br />
Food and Fibres Future (SFFF)<br />
fund and Tavendale and Partners,<br />
Trev and Manawatu Knitting<br />
Mills.<br />
Mr Weir says the ability to<br />
explore and implement the new<br />
community partnership would not<br />
have been possible without<br />
government support, with the<br />
Funding model ... New Zealand Young Farmers hopes anew funding<br />
model will help it become financially sustainable.<br />

Red meat markets<br />
prove to be volatile<br />
Red meatexports achieve<br />
record April but markets<br />
prove volatile<br />
NewZealand red meat<br />
exports hit arecord in April,<br />
however ongoing volatility<br />
in Chinaindicates head<br />
winds in the coming months,<br />
saysthe Meat Industry<br />
Association (MIA).<br />
NewZealand exported<br />
products worth$999.6<br />
million duringthe month of<br />
April, up 16 percent on April<br />
2<strong>02</strong>1with the value of<br />
overall exportsincreasing to<br />
mostmajor markets.<br />
Sirma Karapeeva, chief<br />
executive of MIA, saidthat<br />
while red meat exports<br />
continued to achieve good<br />
returns, therewas some<br />
fluctuationindemand,<br />
particularly in China and<br />
the United States.<br />
Thevalue of overall<br />
exports to Chinawas down<br />
6% year on year. There was<br />
alsoasmall drop in the<br />
volume of both sheepmeat<br />
and beef exported. The<br />
reduction in sheepmeat was<br />
largely due to China, with<br />
beefexports to the United<br />
States also dipping.<br />
While stillbelow pre<br />
Covid19 levels, volumes of<br />
overall sheepmeat exports<br />
to the EU and UK were up<br />
compared to the last two<br />
years. Shippingchallenges<br />
continuetoimpact UK<br />
chilledexports.<br />
Despite the drop in<br />
volumes, with sheepmeat<br />
downbysix percent andbeef<br />
by four percent,the overall<br />
value of exports increased<br />
compared to April 2<strong>02</strong>1 with<br />
sheepmeat (35,553 tonnes)<br />
up 8% to $408m and beef<br />
(41,350 tonnes) up 25% to<br />
$414m.<br />
Thevalue of overall<br />
sheepmeat exports to the<br />
United Kingdom ($52.3m)<br />
was the highest that it has<br />
been in April foranumber of<br />
years.<br />
Ms Karapeeva said this<br />
would have been higherif<br />
chilled exports were at their<br />
normal levels.<br />
April continued thetrend<br />
of strong beef exports into<br />
the other north Asian<br />
markets, in particular<br />
Korea. New Zealand has<br />
exported arecord $131<br />
million worthofbeef into<br />
Korea duringthe first four<br />
monthsofthe year,<br />
compared to $132million<br />
worth exported there during<br />
the whole of 2<strong>02</strong>1.<br />
It was alsoanother strong<br />
month for coproducts, with<br />
the value of all categories<br />
increasing and the overall<br />
value up 14%to$178m.<br />

Region’sAgrecovery programme returns<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> farmers and growers are<br />
being urged to make use of asubsidised<br />
programme to return their unwanted or<br />
expired agrichemicals.<br />
Throughout <strong>June</strong>, Agrecoverywill be<br />
running several chemicalrecovery<br />
events in the<strong>Canterbury</strong> region.<br />
With free or subsidised recovery and<br />
disposal of more than 3000 products, the<br />
programme provides the perfect<br />
opportunity to safely disposeof<br />
potentially dangerous chemicals.<br />
‘‘The agrichemical recovery<br />
programme is acrucial part of the work<br />
Agrecovery does to ensure the safety of<br />
the environment and the future of the<br />
agriculture and horticulture industries,’’<br />
Agrecovery chief executive Tony Wilson<br />
says.<br />
‘‘These are chemicals that could pose a<br />
safety risk by being left in sheds.<br />
Recovering old legacy or unwanted<br />
chemicalsensures they don’t end up in<br />
landfillsorinour waterways.<br />
‘‘We want to see farmers and growers<br />
book safe disposal to alleviate any<br />
potential safety risk.’’<br />
These collection events follow on from<br />
extremely successful events held in<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> in 2<strong>02</strong>0 where nearly 6000kg<br />
of agrichemicals were recovered and<br />
safely disposed of.<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>(ECan) is<br />
again partnering with Agrecovery to<br />
support the programme, alongside<br />

Fonterra is predicting another high milk<br />
price for the coming season.<br />
The cooperative announcedits 2<strong>02</strong>2/23<br />

with amidpointof$9/kgMS.<br />

2<strong>02</strong>1/22 season,of$9.10 to $9.50/kgMS,with<br />
amidpointof$9.30/kgMS arecord high<br />
forecast.<br />
ChiefexecutiveMiles Hurrellsays the<br />
strongopening 2<strong>02</strong>2/23forecast reflects<br />
continued demand for dairy coupledwith<br />
constrained global supply.<br />
‘‘The longterm outlook for dairy remains<br />
positive, despite recentgeopolitical and<br />

demandinthe shortterm.<br />
‘‘On thesupply side, growth from key<br />

‘‘These demand andsupply dynamics are<br />
expected to support dairy pricesinthe<br />
medium to longterm.’’<br />
Mr Hurrell says Fonterra is doing its best<br />
to manage the risks.<br />
The predicted midpoint of $9.30/kgMS for<br />
the presentseasonisthe highest forecast<br />
milk price in the cooperative’s history and<br />
wouldcontribute close to $14 billion into<br />

‘‘It’s fantastic to be able to work in<br />
partnership to provide asafe and<br />
sustainable solution to resource recovery<br />
and enable better environmental<br />
outcomes for our rural communities,’’ Mr<br />
Wilson.<br />
ECan director of science, Dr Tim<br />
Davie, says waste disposal can be<br />
particularly challengingfor rural<br />
communities who want to do the right<br />
thing, but perhaps don’t have the levelof<br />
services that those in urban areas enjoy.<br />
‘‘Our partnership with Agrecoveryhas<br />
beenbuilt on that philosophy –that we<br />
understand those challenges. These<br />
recovery events are aperfect example of<br />
someofthe solutions being provided.”<br />

Mayor hails jobs taskforce<br />
By DAVIDHILL<br />
The Mayor’s Taskforce for Jobs has been<br />
an ‘‘incredible’’ success for Kaikoura,<br />
says Mayor Craig Mackle.<br />
The programme is on the verge of<br />
achieving its target of 50 job placements<br />
for the year to the end of <strong>June</strong> for the<br />
second year running.<br />
Now Te Ha oMatauranga, the trust<br />
which runs the programme, is awaiting<br />
news of funding for the next financial<br />
year.<br />
But Mr Mackle fears funding could be<br />
reduced or come to an end due to the low<br />
unemployment rate.<br />
‘‘I’m thrilled with the Mayor’s<br />
Taskforce for Jobs. Ipersonally think it’s<br />
one of the better outcomes of funding<br />
that I’ve seen,’’ Mr Mackle said at last<br />
week’s council meeting.<br />
‘‘I can’t get over why they would be<br />
thinking about cutting it back or ending it<br />
when it’s achieving the results.<br />
‘‘It’s so great to see the youth excited<br />
about what they’re doing and the support<br />
for employers is awesome.’’<br />
While the unemployment rate might be<br />
low, it remains adaunting prospect for<br />
young people with little or no experience<br />
to apply for jobs, Mr Mackle says.<br />
The programme includes ayouth<br />
employability course to prepare young<br />
people for the workforce and includes<br />
coaching on how to present yourself at a<br />
job interview.<br />

‘‘When you spend your life looking at a<br />

While the funding is aimed at young<br />
people, employment coordinator Sean<br />
Madden did not turn anyone away.<br />
‘‘Sean doesn’t just do it because they<br />
get funded. He will point someone in the<br />
right direction even if it doesn’t count in<br />
the statistics,’’ Mr Mackle says.<br />

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HELMET<br />
Your helmet is the most importantbit of kityou wear to keep yousafewhile riding,so<br />
ensuring youchoose the righthelmet is essential.Hereare some toptips on howyou can<br />
do that:<br />
• Avoid open-facehelmets: 34.6% Of head impacts in crashes aretothe chin area, so<br />
needless to sayopen-facehelmets aresignificantly less safethan others.<br />
• Avoid second-hand helmets: Over time,the impact-absorbinglining andthe inner<br />
liner of helmetswill deteriorate.You’llnever know howmuch use the previous owner<br />
got out of it,orwhether they’ve dropped it one toomanytimes compromising the<br />
shell, you’re betteroffbuying new.<br />
• Makesureyourhelmet fits: Forastart, youmust not be able to remove it without<br />
undoing the chin strap.The strap should adjust to fit closely under your chin without<br />
feelinglikeit’sstrangling you. Your helmet should fit snugly and evenly all around<br />
your head,but not so much it givesyou aheadache.<br />

Glenmark-Cheviot in play-offs<br />
RUGBY<br />
By PETER WILLIAMS<br />
As GlenmarkCheviot and Prebbletonran<br />
on to asundrenched Omihi Domain for the<br />
finalroundrobin match of this season’s<br />
LuisettiSeedsCup, the belief wasthat<br />
whichever team won thematch would<br />
progressthrough to thisSaturday’s<br />
quarterfinals,and the loser would be<br />
consigned to lower section playoffs.<br />
So it was adisheartenedGlenmark<br />
Cheviot side that trudged off after having<br />
been beaten2736byanaccomplished<br />
Prebbletonoutfit.<br />
Frantic checkingofcellphones for<br />
results of other matches suggestedthe prematchprognosishad<br />
been accurate.<br />
But some time later that news filtered<br />
through that Southbridge had scored very<br />
deep intoinjury time to deny Lincoln a<br />
win that would havecatapulted it into a<br />
qualifyingposition.<br />
Not only that, but victories by two other<br />
<strong>North</strong><strong>Canterbury</strong> teams,Kaiapoi over<br />
Waihora and Ashley over Methven,<br />
deprived their opponents of aplace on the<br />
tableahead of GlenmarkCheviot.<br />
So thestars had aligned to enable<br />
GlenmarkCheviot to take the last<br />
wildcardspot on points differential from<br />
Ohoka, and earn atrip to Southbridge on<br />
Saturday to playthe top qualifier.<br />
Saracens, who had abye,finished in<br />
second positionand will be at home to<br />
Springston.<br />
The playoffs present amouthwatering<br />
prospectwith no team an obvious<br />
standout.<br />
Last season’s finalists, Southernand<br />
Southbridge appeal on the basis of both<br />
having arecenthistory of success in playoff<br />
matches.<br />
Hopeswill be high in the Saracens<br />
camp,too, as they are drawn to avoid<br />
having to playeither of these two teams in<br />
the quarters or semis.<br />
The final points table was as follows:<br />
Southbridge 26, (1st in Pool A), 1; Saracens<br />
25, (1st in Pool C), 2; Celtic 22 (1st in Pool<br />
B), 3; Southern 25 (2ndinPoolC), 4;<br />

card), 8; Ohoka 20, 9; Lincoln 18, 10;<br />
Methven 18, 11; Waihora 17, 12; Ashley 17,<br />
13; Kaiapoi 17, 14; Hurunui 11, 15; Rakaia<br />

GlenmarkCheviot v<br />
Prebbleton<br />
The home team had the best of the early<br />
exchanges and was rewarded when<br />
centre, Matt Jensen sliced throughfor an<br />
excellent try in the 12thminute.<br />
Mid way through the half Glenmark<br />
Cheviot secured qualityball froman<br />
attacking lineout following an excellent<br />
50/22kick.<br />
Slickpassingalong the chain gave Caleb<br />
Beck enoughroomtouse his pacetoscore<br />
in the corner. Prebbleton responded with<br />
agood try,showing some of its forward<br />
strength, but justbeforethe break the<br />
everpresent flanker, JacobVincent was<br />
on handtoscore atry that gaveGlenmark<br />
Cheviot averyuseful buffer of 1910. But it<br />
was nowhere near enough. Mistakes crept<br />
into the locals’ game,the most costlybeing<br />
the failureonmany occasionstofind<br />
touch, while it alsomissed too many<br />
secondhalftackles.<br />
The Prebbleton forwards gained the<br />
upperhand and it scoredthreesecond<br />
half tries, although the realkillerblow was<br />
amidfieldintercept off aloose pass.<br />
Glenmark Cheviot hadmanaged just a<br />
sole penalty in response untilright at the<br />
very end when Beck, usually afiveeighth<br />

Ashley vMethven<br />
Ashleyturnedonone of its best<br />
performances of the season, and ended the<br />
playoff hopes of the favoured Methven<br />
side. Anthony Tavendale set the tone for<br />
the match whenhemade amidfield break<br />
to set up fullback Nathan Emery for atry<br />
in the 7th minute.Another backtohave a<br />
fine gamefor Ashley was first five Jack<br />
Marshall who was next to score when he<br />
intercepted aloose pass from Methven.<br />
While Methvenstruckback withacouple<br />
of tries of its own, Ashley responded and<br />
led 2412 at halftime.<br />
It was asimilarpatterninthe second<br />
half withMethven scoring two further tries<br />
to Ashley’s three. Up front Matt<br />
Kippenberger was alwaystothe fore.<br />
Jimmy Thielehad afine match in his 100th<br />
appearance for Ashley, who also<br />
welcomed backontothe field cocoach<br />
Brad McKenzie who made an appearance<br />
off the benchearlyinthe match when Matt<br />
Couch sustained an injury.<br />

Kippenberger, Leon Hingston,Anthony<br />
Tavendale, tries, Jack Marshall 1try, 4<br />
conversions, 1penalty, Nathan Emery 1<br />
try, 1penalty) beatMethven 26.<br />
KaiapoivWaihora<br />
The first half of this match was all about<br />
defence. Asole unconvertedtry by<br />
Waihora was the only action for the<br />
scoreboard attendant. But the match<br />
certainly came to life in the second half.<br />
Kaiapoi winger David Cookscored soon<br />
after the resumption. BothKaiapoi props,<br />
NathanCassidyRichards and Zach<br />
Andrews had impressivegames, both<br />
scoring tries. The highlight beingthe<br />
latter’s spectacular 70 metreintercept try.<br />
Kaiapoi held Waihora scorelessinthe<br />
secondhalf, while scoring three tries<br />
itself.<br />
Kaiapoi 17 (DavidCook, Nathan Cassidy<br />
–Richards, ZachAndrews tries, Taine<br />

Waihora 5 (Cameron Tippet, try).<br />
OhokavWest Melton<br />
Ohoka registered its fourth win on thetrot,<br />
comfortably accounting for West Melton.<br />
No 8Tom Taylor and enterprising full<br />
back Tom Wedlake were rewardedfor<br />
strongperformances with firsthalf tries.<br />
Both were converted by Scott Allin,who<br />
added two penalties to give Ohoka a<br />
healthy 207 lead at halftime.<br />

Allin’s radar was accurate all day and he<br />
is fastestablishing areputation as being<br />
probably the mostaccurate goalkickerin<br />
any of the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> teams,<br />
challenged probably only by his brother,<br />
Ricky, for Saracens. Allin hasbeen amajor<br />
partofOhoka’s renaissance, as have the<br />
McCallum brothers, Ryan and Paddy,Tom<br />
Taylor,who scored againinthe second<br />
half, Ben Gold and Sam England.All again<br />

beat WestMelton 19.<br />
Hurunui vRolleston<br />
Hurunui proved far too strong for the<br />
cellar dwellers. They began at full throttle<br />
withfullback Digby Heard runningintwo<br />
tries in the first4minutes.<br />
Hurunui wereparticularly strong at set<br />
piece with Hamish Dalzell on debut<br />
stealing numerous opposition lineouts and<br />
leading the dominantHurunui defence.<br />
Young firstfive, KyleMcKenzie alsohad<br />
astrong game,steeringhis teamaround<br />
the field,whileprop Ben Johnson was<br />
tireless in his work and amajor<br />
contributortohis team securing so much<br />
qualityball. It was to Hurunui’s credit that<br />
theymaintained the pressurethroughout<br />
the match,leading 283 at half time and<br />
doubling that in the second half.<br />
Hurunui57(Digby Heard(2), Andrew<br />
Murdoch, NordyAnderson, Hamish<br />
Dalzell (2), Cale Dobby(2), Luke Hume<br />
tries, Kyle McKenzie 6conversions) beat<br />
Rolleston.<br />
Oxford vDarfield<br />
The Oxford teamsaved probably its best<br />
performance of the year for its Club Day.<br />
In front of abig crowd, it scored threefirst<br />
halftries.Its defence, however, was patchy<br />
anditwas outshone by the visitors who led<br />
3819 at the break. But it was adifferent<br />
story in the second half when Darfield<br />
could only add onetry, whileOxford<br />
poured on 24 more points and when the<br />
final whistle blew, the scoreswere tied at<br />
4343.<br />
It is perhaps unfair to identify<br />
individuals in the Oxford teamasitwas a<br />
true team effort but Liam Stevensonwas to<br />
theforefront of the forwards’ effort. Matt<br />
Roberts ignited alot of Oxford’s backline<br />
movements.<br />
He scored two trieshimself andalso had<br />
agreat day with the boot for apersonal<br />
tally of 23 points. Jesse Houston, Vili<br />
Ogatia and Mark Farrell were others in<br />
the backline to perform with distinction.<br />
Oxford 43 (Mark Farrell, JesseHouston,<br />
Korbyn Newman, Vili Ogatia, tries, Matt<br />

Rural |Lifestyle<br />
Your CountryPartner<br />
During the winter months, we typically see<br />
a slight slowdown in real estate markets,<br />
and with the recent increase ininterest rates<br />
and tightening of lending policies having an<br />
influence, we expect this to be the case in our<br />
local market over the coming months.<br />
Afteranumberofbuoyant yearswhen buyers<br />
often faced stiff competition for good rural<br />
lifestyle properties we arerecently seeing levels<br />
of enquiry and listings more typical of past<br />
years. There’s still very strong interest in the<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> rural market, especially for sound<br />
properties that are presented well with good<br />
access to the city.<br />
Begin planning and researching now so you’re<br />
prepared when the perfect rural property<br />
comes along!<br />
Greg Roberts<br />
Licensed Business Owner<br />
Four Seasons Realty 2017 Ltd|LicensedAgent REAA 2008<br />
WINTERTO-DO LIST:<br />
1.Findanexperiencedreal estate agent<br />
Having an expert, local real estate agent on<br />
your side is invaluable.<br />
Working with someone who is knowledgeable<br />
about rural lifestyle property listings, as well<br />
as the local area can make abig difference.<br />
Partnering with areal estateagent up front will<br />
allow you to be the first to knowwhen arural<br />
property is coming up forsale and if it will fit<br />
what you arelooking for.<br />
2. Choose an experienced lender and get<br />
preapproved<br />
One of the best things you can dowhen<br />
planning to buy ahome is to get preapproved.<br />
If buyingahomeinthe countryisyour dream,<br />
makesureyou’re partnering withalenderwho<br />
understands the intricacies ofrural property<br />
lending and is able to offer you along-term<br />
fixed rate. Having apreapproval letter when<br />
it comes time to offer on your dream home<br />
could be the difference between acceptance<br />
and rejection. Also, getting preapproved up<br />
front gives you arealistic idea ofwhat you<br />
canafford.It’sveryimportant to have agood<br />
understanding of your finances when making<br />
alarge purchaselikeahome.<br />
3. Prioritise needs vs wants<br />
Oncepreapproved, you’ll have agood ideaof<br />
what you canafford.Now it’stime to translate<br />
that into what is important to you in your<br />
dream home. How many bedrooms do you<br />
need? How many acres do you want to grow<br />
rurallifestyle? Do you requireany outbuildings<br />
such as abarn?Evaluating yourneeds, wants,<br />
and goals is an important discussion to have<br />
up front so you are prepared when rural<br />
properties arelisted.<br />
4. Start exploring locations<br />
It’s time to evaluate what location/area you<br />
arelooking to buy in. Rural listings tend to be<br />
sparser than those in town so having your area<br />
narrowed down will help. Further, getting to<br />
know the zoning restrictions for the area you<br />
are looking in will beimportant, especially if<br />
you plan to grow and develop your property<br />
onceyou’ve purchased it.<br />
Now just because the real estate market<br />
slows down in <strong>June</strong>, August, doesn’t mean<br />
you shouldn’t still be keeping an eye onthe<br />
market. Yes, there will likely be fewer listings,<br />
but theremightalso be less competition from<br />
other buyers. Further, sellers might bemore<br />
motivated to sell.<br />
As things warm up and the smell of spring is in<br />
the air, you’ll start seeing an influx in listings.<br />
This is when all of your preparationwork over<br />
the winter pays off.<br />
Timing is everything and being prepared<br />
with your real estate agent and preapproval<br />
will give you an edge on the competition.<br />
When you find your dreamproperty,you’llbe<br />
ready to makethe offer and work through the<br />
purchase process with confidence.<br />
At Harcourts Four Seasons we have atalented<br />
andsuccessfulteamofrurallifestylespecialists<br />
that are constantly upskilling, we know the<br />
differences between the rural lifestyle and<br />
residential markets, whetherbuyingorselling<br />

“Given the improvements to the roading<br />
network into and out of Christchurch, we’re<br />
confident in the continued popularityofrural<br />
lifestyle properties.”<br />
“Our rural lifestyle agents have all owned,lived<br />
or worked on lifestyle properties or farms, and<br />
they’re all active in their local communities,”<br />
Greg Roberts Co-owner explains. “It’s what<br />
we’reall about.”<br />

The <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>June</strong> 2, 2<strong>02</strong>2 43<br />
Community gets in behind Cheviot river restoration<br />
The community is getting in behind<br />
efforts to restore the Jed River, near<br />
Cheviot.<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s (ECan)<br />
Hurunui Waiau Uwha Zone delivery<br />
team has been working with the Jed<br />
River Catchment Group to support the<br />
restoration and enhancement of the Jed<br />
River.<br />
The council’s zone priority fund is<br />
supporting the group with $35,000<br />
towards chemical free willow control,<br />
planting and maintenance on a200metre<br />
stretch of the river in the Hutchison<br />
Reserve area at Woolshed Creek, a<br />
tributary of the river.<br />
The funding will be split over two<br />
years.<br />
The Department of Conservation is<br />
also supporting the project.<br />
The Jed River flows under State<br />
Highway 1onthe south side of Cheviot<br />
township, through the Cheviot Hills<br />
Reserve and out towards Gore Bay.<br />
The catchment is home to arange of<br />
different landscapes and species such as<br />
lamprey, freshwater mussels, native<br />
birds, dryland ecosystems, wetlands, hill<br />
country and the coastline.<br />
ECan land management advisor Sam<br />
Thompson says the project will<br />
contribute to the overall health of the<br />
stream and enable the natural character<br />
of the river to regenerate.<br />
‘‘Removal of exotic willows and the<br />
replacement of native species will<br />
support indigenous species of birds, fish<br />
and insects to thrive in the area,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘With the project being led by the<br />
community, they’ll be able to connect<br />
with this wonderful awa/river and see it<br />
transform back to its natural state.’’<br />
The water quality of the Jed River has<br />
raised community concern in the past,<br />
due to its poor visual appearance and<br />
historical public health warnings in<br />
relation to wastewater discharges.<br />
In August 2019, the Cheviot community<br />
launched the beginnings of aplan to<br />
restore the Jed River and its tributaries,<br />
forming the Jed River Catchment Group.<br />
Mr Thompson says targeting willows<br />
was chosen as apriority by the group, as<br />
the trees form dense stands, overtaking<br />
other vegetation and have the potential<br />
to change the route of the main channel<br />
of the river.<br />
‘‘This can cause flooding and erosion<br />
issues, especially where the banks of<br />
waterways are already vulnerable.<br />
‘‘The willow leaves also drop into the<br />
river and can reduce water quality and<br />
oxygen levels, which is essential for the<br />
life within these streams.<br />
‘‘Willows have aplace on the land and<br />
for water management, but the banks of<br />
the Jed River aren’t it.’’<br />
Mechanical weed control was<br />
completed earlier this year and a<br />
community planting day will follow.<br />
Totara, matai, titoki, ribbonwood /<br />
manatu and lacebark /houhere are just<br />
some of the native species being planted<br />
in the reserve.<br />
Restoration ...<br />
Efforts to restore Jed River, near Cheviot, are building up steam.<br />

Mr Thompson says it has been great<br />
working with such amotivated<br />
community and he is looking forward to<br />
seeing further advancements on<br />
catchmentwide regeneration for the Jed<br />
River.<br />
‘‘The catchment group have put a<br />
significant amount of time into the<br />
project, so it’s great to be able to support<br />
them to further their vision for the Jed<br />
River and its tributaries,’’ he says.<br />
The Hurunui and Waiau River<br />
Regional Plan promotes the sustainable<br />
management of rivers and streams and<br />
groundwater in the Hurunui, Waiau and<br />
Jed River catchments.<br />
