Awoolly tale of increasing returns 

By JOHN COSGROVE 

It wasanidea borne of desperation. 

Culverdensheepand beef farmers 

Janeand Mark Schwasswere in the 

sameboat as sheepfarmersnationwide, 

desperatefor away to increase 

their returns on wool whenthe price 

per kilogram wassolow. 

“It was costing us $5.50 per ewe to get 

themshorn andwecouldonly get $1.50 

per kilo back on the fleece,” says Mark 

Schwass. 

“We were practically giving it away 

and then oneday,mydaughter 

mentioned therewere peopleout there 

selling merinoyogamatsfor $300each. 

“Shefelt we coulddoitbetter and 

sellitfor alot less.” 

Thatstarted the ballrolling in the 

Schwasshousehold, andaplanwas 

quickly mooted. 

Whatiftheycreatedacottage 

industry that was environmentally 

sound and used the wool, grown and 

shorn on theirproperty. 

The plan thenhad them finding 

someonetoscourthe wooland turnit 

intohighqualityfelt,dye it, cut it into 

yogapad lengths andthen returnitto 

the farmfor finishingand online 

marketing. 

Acomplete productioncircle that 

startedand ended on the farm. 

The idea and creationwere the easy 

part. 

“Finding businesses who could scour 

the quantity of wool we needed,press 

it intofelt, and then dyeitand cut it to 

lengthswas thehard part,”says Jane. 

Luckily, after afew months of 

scouring theinternet and abit of luck, 

the couplewereput in contactwitha 

Timarubased woolscouring operation 

who could handle thevolumesofwool 

theywanted madeintofelt. 

Another of theirsons arranged a 

meeting with awool peltingcompany 

in Christchurch to handle thedyeing. 

“Theircompanywas great,” says 

Jane. 

“They could easilyhandlethe dying 

using natural products andlength 

cutting requirements.

Walking the talk at Northbrook 

By DAVID HILL 

Local Democracy Reporter 

Waimakariri residents are being 

encouraged to walk and tell stories. 

Anew story walk was launched at 

Northbrook Reserve in Rangiora on 

Friday, June 24, and Waimakariri 

district libraries staff hope it will be the 

first of many. 

The idea came out of the Covid19 

lockdown as librarystaff explored new 

ways of connectingwith people, 

Waimakariri District Libraries 

community connections coordinator 

Anna Paterson says. 

Story walks have beencreatedin 

other parts of New Zealand,including 

the Gore, Hastings, and Napier 

districts. 

‘‘We thought with Covid and people 

getting out and going for walks and 

enjoying their local parks,this was a 

good way of connecting withpeople. 

‘‘We want people to havealovefor 

books and readingand this is away of 

doing that when the libraryisclosed. 

And not everybody wants to do it 

online.’’ 

Library staff joined forces with 

greenspace stafftocreate temporary 

storyboards which have been 

strategically placed around the reserve 

walkway. 

Each storyboardislike adifferent 

page, tellingastory and linking to the 

local environment,MsPaterson says. 

The story The Little Kiwi’sMatariki by 

Nikki Slade Robinson was chosen for 

the first story walk to tie in with 

Matariki, with permission obtained 

from the author. 

Peoplecan alsolearnabout the 

birdlife and plantswhich are found in 

the NorthbrookReserveand about the 

history of site on the storyboards. 

The temporary story walk has been 

set up for atwo month trial and if it is 

successful library staff hope to be able 

to roll out permanent story walks at 

different parks aroundthe district. 

‘‘It would be lovely to see this in every 

park in the Waimakariri,’’ Ms Paterson

opening of anew story walk at Northbrook Reserve in Rangiora on Friday.

says. 

‘‘If the boards are still in an OK 

condition at the end of the trial we may 

be able to take them to Kaiapoi and 

share them alittle bit more. 

‘‘Temporary boardsare avery 

affordable optionatthis point, but more 

permanent boards would require some 

fundingfrom the council.’’ 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon says 

he would support expanding the 

initiativeand looksforward to a 

fundingproposal coming fromcouncil 

staff. 

‘‘I think it’s agreat initiativefrom our 

greenspaceand our libraries teams and 

with the timing of Matariki,it’s alovely 

integration. It’s great for the kids to 

learn as they walkaround the reserve 

and I’m learning too.’’ 

RangioraAshleyCommunity Board 

chairperson Jim Gerard joined Mr 

Gordon on awalk around the new story 

walk on Friday and says the board is 

‘‘allbehind the beautification of open 

spaces’’ in Rangiora. The cost of 

creating, installing and later removal of 

the storyboards is around $1500 and is 

covered by existing greenspace and 

library 

budgets.

OPINION 


Hurunui showcased 

to many in June 

The month of June has showcased many 

of the wonderful things that often go 

under the radar. 

The Cheviot Licensing Trust hosted 

the annual conference for all trustee’s 

from across New Zealand recently. 

It was wonderful to play avery small 

part in this, with my invitation to speak 

to the delegates at the opening address. 

Cheviot showcased the district with a 

visit to Colin and Lynne Harrison’s 

beautiful garden, along with sampling a 

range of locally produced treats. 

Congratulations to Sue Harrison and 

her team for coordinating and 

executing agreat event. 

Together Hurunui is anonstatutory 

network of social services operating in 

the Hurunui District and includes 

community groups, schools, health 

centers, NGO agencies, local and central 

government. 

Together Hurunui endeavours to 

identify gaps in service provision, and 

advocate for the right services to fill 

these through regular network events 

and communications. 

Older Persons health was the focus at 

the session held recently, with astrong 

advocacy voice from Grey Power. 

Another fabulous event hosted by 

Together Hurunui was held in Culverden 

with aBasketball tournament 

culminating with the final 

championship game and presentation of 

awards. 

The Filipino community are skilled at 

the game and came together for the final, 

with glorious food and aprize giving. It 

was such awonderful opportunity to join 

together and appreciate the diversity of 

cultures within our district. 

This week is World Wellbeing week 

with the aim to provide our community 

with the tools and knowledge to help 

manage mental health. Simple things

Matariki was celebrated with the first 

time this year with the public holiday, 

but at alocal level many schools and 

preschools created their own 

celebrations. 

Iwas fortunate to attend the Amberley 

Prep and Preschool celebration when 

the tamariki performed to many parents 

and grandparents. It was such alovely 

gesture that all families received the 

generous gift of vegetables to take home, 

and produce a‘‘hearty soup for the 

soul’’. 

Iattended an event at Amberley 

Primary School where again I 

appreciated the performance of the 

students showcasing Waiata, and craft, 

along with adelicious hangi catering for 

over 270 people.

amazing community folk who have 

brought this all together. 

From asporting perspective Iwatched 

the GlenmarkCheviot rugby team win

volunteers contributing to clubs across

And last but not least on Friday July 1, 

Iwill be participating in the Big Splash

Although Iamnot really excited to

Praise for rate rise 

By DAVID HILL 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon has 

hailed the efforts of staff after the 

Waimakariri District Councilconfirmed 

‘‘oneofthe lowestratesrises in the 

country’’. 

Councillorsvoted to adopt the 2022/23 

annual planatacouncil meeting on 

Tuesday (June28), withanaverage rates 

rise of 4.5 percent. 

‘‘It’s been alargepiece of work 

because of the current economic 

situation,’’ Mr Gordon said. 

He says the annual plan largely 

follows on from last year’s 2021/31 Long 

Term Plan (LTP), with some 

adjustments to reflect the challenging 

economic environment. 

Economicindicators suggestthe 

Waimakariri district is performing well, 

despite the impacts of Covid19 and 

global economic uncertainty. 

The prospect of nearly900 new houses 

beingbuilt this year provides some 

optimism going forward, Mr Gordon 

said. 

‘‘We wanted to ensure that we were 

goingtobeable to deliver on everything 

that we planned and to not endupwith 

acaseofover promising and under 

delivering. 

‘‘I’mvery confident that we can 

provide the very high level of service 

that our rate payersexpect, while 

ensuring that we are not overspending 

at this crucialtime.’’ 

This year’s annual planfeatures 

upgrades to drinking waterplants, 

increasedfunding for the proposed 

mixeduse community hub in Kaiapoi, 

upgrades to the Rangiora Airfieldand 

funding to protectsignificant natural 

areas. 

Capital works are notforgotten, with 

increased funding allocatedtowardsthe 

Kaiapoistorm water and flooding 

improvements and upgradestoroading 

infrastructure. 

Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson said 

this year’s annualplan deliberations 

had been ‘‘the most honest we’ve ever 

been with ourselves with what we can 

and can’tdeliver’’. 

‘‘We have change fromgovernment 

coming, we have the nonsupplyof 

materials and we have inflation. 

‘‘Theearthquakes were adifficult 

time,but it was prettyspecificto 

Canterbury, but this (Covid19) has 

impactedonthe whole country. 

‘‘We areinfor an incredibly rough two 

years, so Ithink this annual planisa 

greatachievement.’’ 

Cr Paul Williams raisedconcern that 

the percentages of ratesfunding 

allocated to roading appeared to be 

lowerthan funding for the libraries, 

parksand swimmingpools. 

Mr Gordon said it was asubject which 

needed further debate, but he noted the 

feedback from residents indicatedthe 

council was heading in theright 

direction. 

‘‘We getconstantfeedback at how 

much people value our libraries and 

pools, so I’m comfortablewith the rates 

resolution.’’ 

Last year the council considered 

climate change in the LTP for the first 

time.MrGordonsays this year’s annual 

plan is underpinned by aconscious 

effort to enhance wellbeing, the 

environmentand sustainability in a 

growing district. 

‘‘People told us theyare happy with 

our advocacy around Three Waters and 

our commitmenttobalancinggrowth 

and optimism with economic 

uncertainty.’’ 

Artist’s impression ... Kaikoura’s Sudima Hotel is set to open on October 17. 


Sudima opens in Oct 

By DAVID HILL 

CraigMacklehas welcomednews 

Kaikoura’s SudimaHotel will officially 

open in October. 

The Kaikoura Mayor says the official 

opening of the 120 room SudimaKaikoura 

on October17could be the start of abusy 

summer for the tourist town. 

‘‘I can’t wait to be honest.We’vebeen 

waiting for along time,’’MrMackle says. 

‘‘It’s taken along timefor someoneto 

bite the bullet andbuild ahotel and 

hopefully someone else will follow suite. 

‘‘We’ve got afew smaller places, but this 

should bring in awhole different 

clientele.’’ 

Sudima Kaikoura will be 4.5starhotel 

with 120 rooms and suites, bar, restaurant 

and outdoor terrace making it ideal for 

hosting conferences and corporateevents. 

With the bordernow open to 

international tourists andcruise ships 

tentatively scheduledtoreturn to 

Kaikoura, Mr Mackle is optimisticthe 

summer of 2022/23could be the busiest yet. 

The New Zealand Cruise Association 

last month announced aproposed cruise 

ship schedule,which included up to 15 

visits to Kaikoura. 

But the summer of 2019/20was set to 

become the ‘‘busiest summeryet’’, with13 

cruise visits scheduled to visit untilwet 

weather and then Covid struck, Mr Mackle 

says. 

‘‘We are definitelylookingforward to a 

busy summer. We just need to avoid 

another wet summer. 

‘‘Afterthe earthquakes and Covid,it’s 

our time to have aturn in the sun.’’

Seedlings nurtured at home 

Rangiora’s Charles Uphamvillage 

residents have partnered with an 

environmental charity to help 

growand repot seedlings, for 

planting in the earthquake red 

zonesofChristchurch. 

Glynis Whittaker and Yolande 

Whitford,who liveinvillage 

townhouses, weretwo of thefirst 

to sign up with theCanterburybasedEcoAction 

Nursery Trust, 

whichisheaded by trust chairand 

founder,DavidNewton. 

The trust’s objectives areto 

involvepeople of allages, 

including thoseinretirement 

villages,and alsothe younger set, 

in projects,MrNewton says. 

‘‘We arevery activeinthe 

school’senvironment with many 

school students helpingwith 

planting days, so it is fantastic to 

give the residents of Charles 

Uphamthis opportunity.’’ 

Asatellite nurseryhas been set 

up,and residents to date have 

helpedtransplant 300ormore 

seedlings in to individualpots. 

Village Manager David 

Cartwrightsays it is verymuch 

about makingitanenjoyable 

activity rather thanatask. Village 

involvementcould increase in the 

2023 plantingseason, he adds. 

Glynis and Yolande saythey 

have longbeen gardeners, and 

shiftedplants, including 

strawberries, as theymoved 

houses,and eventuallybrought 

some to Charles Upham. 

TheEcoActionprojecthad 

proved positive giventhe 

disruptions of Covid19, Yolande 

says. 

‘‘We’ve bothfounditagood 

relief actually,fromeverything.I 

went over anddid afew yesterday 

Keen gardeners ... Yolande and Glynis stand proud at the Charles Upham 

village satellite nursery. 


eventhoughitwas cold,’’Yolande 

says. 

The pair love that the village has 

plots forgardening, where they 

can both raise theirown 

vegetablesaswell as nurture 

seedlings for the EcoAction 

project. 

The early 2022 weather helped 

the early manuka plantings. 

‘‘Wehad aglorious April, the 

weatherwas justbeautiful. 

Yolandeand Idid alot to begin 

with,’’ Glynissays. 

Someofthe species of native 

trees and grasses, includecarex 

secta, kahikatea, totara,toitoi and 

flax. Thehabitat willprovide food 

and nectarfor bellbird and tui. 

David Newton, whoteaches at 

Christs College,says he wouldlike 

to transferthe satellitenursery 

projectintoothervillagesand 

locations,and build theseedling 

numbersoveramultiyear 

timeframe. 

‘‘The moreplants that go into 

the red zonethe better. There is 

600660hectares and 10,000 plants 

per hectare. The benefitsofnative 

speciesisthatonce they are 

planted,theywill lead to an 

increase in bird song, soil 

regenerationand areductionin 

environmentally harmingcarbonemissions.’’ 

David saysatotal of 12,000 

seedlings wereplanted in 2021, 

withplans for 30,000 in 2022and 

60,000 in 2023. The trust is working

Adriel fosters quality 

care and empathy 

Life at AdrielHouse and Rest Homeis 

returning to normal. 

Residents are reconnectingwith their 

community through outings, and family 

and friends are returning to amore 

regular visiting regimeasCovid19 

protocols ease. 

Adriel’s owner Mischeal McCormick 

says asocial WinterWarmer Afternoon 

is planned in July, with lotsofgood 

warm winter comfort food, and the 

opportunity for family and friendsto 

join in and talkwith their loved ones 

aboutthingsthey did during their lives 

in the winter months. 

Mischeal says the Spark of Life 

programme run at the homecontinues 

to have huge benefitsfor residents,with 

Adriel once again beingconfirmed as a 

SparkofLife Centre of Excellence. 

It was the onlyhome in the world 

holding the honour when it was 

awarded in 2019. 

Mischeal says it took six years to 

become acentre of excellence through 

planning, gathering data,and training 

stafftoimplement and embrace the 

SparkofLife philosophy at Adriel, which 

caresfor thosewho have suffered 

memory loss. 

The focus of the programme is on the 

qualityofthe connection betweencarers 

and residents, and their families,and to 

foster kindness, compassion, empathy, 

and respect. 

‘‘Everyone has to be trained, and learn 

the programme, and then it has to be put 

intopractice. It is ahuge commitment, 

but worth it because we care,’’ Mischeal 

says. 

The home recently hosted two visitors 

fromCanberra who made the journey to 

Amberley, and Adriel, specificallytosee 

the programmeinaction. 

‘‘They were blown away at how quiet 

and settled our residents were,and that 

Adriel was offering residents choices 

about whatthey wanted to do, which 

means alot to them as individuals,’’says 

Mischeal. 

Mischeal says the visitors expected to 

stayacoupleofhours,but ended up 

staying all day,asthey noted how the 

programme was makingsuch a 

difference in people’s lives,and how the 

staff were also fully on board with it. 

‘‘They were full of enthusiasm,and 

werekeen to get backhome to the 

villages theyoperate and start the Spark 

of Life programme,’’she says. 

The feedbackfrom them was 

‘‘awesome. 

‘‘Itgives us the confidence to continue 

with Spark of Life,and to know thatwe 

are makingadifference in people’s 

lives,’’ she says.

her capture the colour of the white horse, 

with water colour overthe top. 

‘‘It worked well,’’ Shonasays. 

Her interest in painting began in her 

early years at the OhokaSchool, but it was 

not until1982 she tookupart as a‘‘hobby 

or past time’’. 

‘‘Withthe children grown up and leaving 

home therewas time to indulge in what 

has been avaried andinteresting time,’’ 

she says. 

Shona began at the AmberleyArt Group 

in 1982. Shortly aftershe joined the 

Rangiora Art Group/Society, and later the 

Town and Country, of whichshe is now a 

life member.She spent two years withthe 

Artist’s collectiveinChristchurch. Shona 

loves nothing better than capturing 

moments whendriving past, and from 

memory, goes homeand paints it. 

She also enjoys thegreat outdoors while 

creating master pieces, althoughsome she

By SHELLEY TOPP 

More than 100 people havesigneda 

petition calling for asafe cycleway/foot 

path to be installed from the Rangiora 

Leigh HolidayPark corner to Loburn 

School. 

The petitionisincludedina 

submission the school has made to the 

WaimakaririDistrict Council calling

the list of others already prioritised 

under its Walking and CyclingNetwork 

Plan. 

Loburn Schoolprincipal Stuart 

Priddy saysthe busy sectionofroad 

from the holiday parkcorner to Loburn 

School is not safe for pupils to use. 

‘‘Ruralroadsrepresentasignificant 

hazard to our pupils trying to get to 

school,and parents tell me that they 

have been put off letting their kidsbike 

and walktoschool because of the 

dangers,’’ he says. 

‘‘We all enjoy the driving experience 

of rural roads,but for some the journey 

comes with extra risks. Our kids,along 

with all road users,deserve asafe trip. 

‘‘What we need are dedicated 

cycleway/paths to the school.’’ 

‘‘This issue is areal impediment to 

promoting cycling skills in rural areas 

and there are such greathealth 

outcomes when kidscan get on abike 

safely,’’ he says. 

The council’s Walking and Cycling 

Strategy was developedinpartnership 

with the community and adopted in 

2017. 

It includes avision that Waimakariri 

residents choose to walkand cycle and 

that the environment is friendly, safe 

and accessible for walkers and cyclists. 

The council’s senior engineering 

adviserDon Young, saysacycleway to 

Loburn Schoolhas not made it on to the 

Dangerous journey ... Loburn School pupils face adangerous walk to and from their 

school and now more than 100 people have signed apetition calling for acycleway/footpath 

to be installed from the Rangiora Leigh Holiday Park corner to Loburn School to make their 

journey safer.

staff decision and all submissions will 

be fully considered by the council. 

‘‘I am really interested in what 

Loburn School does put in its

Upgrade 

continues 

Work is continuing on Kaiapoi’s 

‘‘shovelready’’ stormwater and 

floodingproject. 

Residents will have noticed workin 

and aroundOtaki Street, whichshould 

be completed by the end of August. 

Thereare teams working in 

Hodgson Avenue, Otaki Street, 

Chapman Place and Wesley Street, 

with all hands on deck to complete the 

worksassoon as possible. 

The work involves connectingan 

undergroundpumping station in Otaki 

Street with two branches of large 

gravity pipes stretching east over to 

Ashley Place and westtoWesley 

Street. 

AlongOtakiStreet, alarge pressure 

main is being installedtoget the water 

to the riverinlarge rainfall events. 

To minimise disruption, the council 

is taking the opportunity to replace the 

Chapman Place wastewaterrising 

main,and some watermains as well as 

kerb and channelonOtaki Street and 

Chapman Place. 

To completethis stage the Fuller / 

OtakiStreets intersection will be 

closed to traffic while one of the 

pipelines is installed. 

The intersection will be closed for 

around fourweeks and there willbe 

traffic management and detours in 

place. There will be achange to some 

bus stop locations in the area too, with 

temporarybus stops in place as the 

busesuse the detour routes. 

The major upgrade to the Kaiapoi 

Stormwater Systemwill increase the 

resilience of the stormwater network.

Innovative approaches on farm 

By GINA MCKENZIE 

Innovative farming practices are helping 

to make Roscoe Taggart’s farm more 

sustainable. 

Investing in precision agriculture has 

provided the Cust farmer with 

environmental,social and financial 

benefits that help to continuously improve 

his family’s 730hectare arable and sheep 

operation. 

Mr Taggart is participating in asixmonthfarming 

innovationproject,which 

examineshowthenextgenerationof 

farmers areusinginnovative approaches 

to improve their farming practices. 

The Waimakariri Landcare Trust and 

Waimakariri IrrigationLimited(WIL) 

have partneredwith theMinistryfor 

Primary Industries (MPI) for the project, 

withsupport from MPI’s Sustainable Food 

and Fibre Futures fundalong with 

Environment Canterbury, Ballance, and 

DairyNZ. 

At the start of the project Mr Taggart 

applied variable rate nitrogen fertiliser 

❛You do have to invest more 

upfront with new technology, 

but it is well worth it when you 

consider the longterm 

benefits.❜

This has proven to be agamechangerby 

applyingthe precise amount of fertiliser 

requiredforeach paddock. 

Having experienced the benefits of 

being abletoapply variable rate nitrogen 

in real time, Mr Taggart introduced grid 

sampling of his farm in blocksto improve 

theefficiencyofspreadingfertiliser,while 

reducing costsand environmental 

impacts. 

‘‘Traditionally we havedoneastandard 

soil test whichisatransect acrossa 

paddock withabout fiveorsix samples. 

‘‘With gridsampling we are taking a 

sample every hectare and after we put this 

information intoour variable rate 

spreader, wecan spreadour fertiliserina 

much moreeducatedway.Thisis 

especially important when you are doing 

yourbaseapplication because if you get 

thisright, youwillgetan evencrop, and 

this has many flowoneffects.’’ 

Byapplyinghis fertiliser in such a 

precise manner, Mr Taggart anticipates 

growing crops that are more even which

the season.

‘‘Financially you are better offtoo as it 

makes your yield moreeven. Youdohave 

to investmoreupfront with new 

technology, but it is wellworth it when you 

consider the longterm benefits.’’ 

The environmental and social benefits 

of applying the right amount of fertiliser at 

the correct time are also important to Mr 

Taggart. 

‘‘One of the biggest things we have got 

going on now in agriculture is our inputs 

and leaching. If we use science and 

technology to applyonlywhatisneededto

Ashley take Deans Shield home 

RUGBY 

By PETER WILLIAMS 

Ohoka’s turninthe spotlight proved to be 

shortlived as it succumbed at thefirst 

defence of theDeans Shield to an 

efficientAshley side 2239 on Saturday. 

Meanwhile,atCheviot, Glenmark 

Cheviot was also broughtdown to earth 

after itsvictory in theCombined Grand 

Finallastweekend,when Kaiapoiheld 

outthe fastfinishingnortherners fora 

narrow 2724victory. 

The top fourteamshave opened up a 

gaponthe rest of theteams inthe Luisetti 

Seedscompetition. 

Kaiapoi (19) leads with Ashley, 

GlenmarkCheviot andSaracensareboth 

on 15, well clearofthenext teams — 

Hurunui and Ohoka on 7. 

Next Saturdaymostinterest will be at 

Cheviot whereGlenmarkCheviot, 

undoubtedly smarting from thisweek’s 

defeat,will be seeking redemption 

againstAshley. 

It willbeasurprise if thechance to win 

back their beloved Deans Shield doesn’t 

bringthe best outofthe Glenmark 

Cheviot side. 

Ohoka vAshley 

Ohoka settledinto thegame morequickly 

andwas rewarded forits early territorial 

dominance withapenalty kicked by Scott 

Allin after just 7minutes. 

When Ohoka’s hardworkingnumber 8, 

TomTaylorreceived ayellowcardafter 

an altercation, his teammates lifted their 

endeavours. 

The opportunistic Ohoka centre,Blain 

O’Loughlin, snaffledupaloose ball and 

ranhalfthe lengthofthe fieldtoscore. 

Ashley started to assert itsauthority. 

WingerKorbyn Gray wasbusy,looking for 

work. 

Whenever he gotthe ball in hand, which 

wasquite often,hecould be reliedonto 

break atleast one tackle, oftenmore. 

The industrious lock, JimmyThiele was 

thefirst toscore for Ashley. Then aJack 

Marshall penaltylevelled thescores. 

Ashleywas starting to getthe better of 

theterritorial battle, but Ohoka’s Allin, 

playing at firstfive,showedthere was 

muchmore to hiskicking gamethan just 

hisgoalkicking. Hehoisted some 

prodigious punts which had the crowd 

gaspingand frequently relievedthe 

pressure thatwas starting to mount on the 

holders. 

Thenrightonthe cusp of halftime 

came aplaythat reallyliftedOhoka’s 

spirits. Angus Gunn gathered an Ashley 

kick well insideOhoka’s territory putina 

long 5022 kick which gave Ohoka the 

throwtoanattackinglineout. 

Unusually,theAshleydefencewent 

missing. Flanker Ben Gold claimedthe 

ball attherearofthe lineout and crashed 

overinaoneonone tackle. Allin’s 

conversiongaveOhoka auseful158lead 

at thebreak. 

But it didn’ttake Ashley longtogain the 

ascendancyinthe third quarter.The 

wholeAshley pack was rolling up its 

sleeves, ledbythe Duckworth brothers at 

prop andNo.8Elijah Coulston. 

Duringthis period they putonthree 

unansweredtries, all converted by Jack 

Marshall.Thiseffectively spelt Ohoka’s 

death knell. Skipper,LouisJames,scored 

followingadominant drive from the 

lineout. Before longBen Wicksteed and 

Gray had alsogot onthe scoresheet. 

Although Ohokakept tryinghard, and 

George Wigginsnarrowed thegap with a 

goodtry in the corner,the damagehad 

been done anditwas lefttoJosh 

Duckworthtoput the icingonan 

outstanding individual game, by scoring 

thefinaltry of thematch. 

Ohoka 22 (BlainO’Loughlin,Ben Gold, 

Evergreen ... Nordy Anderson scores atypical No 8’s try for Hurunui against Woodend 

at Culverden. 


George Wigginstries, ScottAllin 1 

penalty, 2conversions) lost to Ashley 39 

(Jimmy Thiele, LouisJames,Ben 

Wicksteed, Korbyn Gray, Josh Duckworth, 

tries,JackMarshall 2penalties,4 

conversions). 

GlenmarkCheviot v 

Kaiapoi 

Despite playingathomeonGlenmark’s 

Club Dayand against theplayingthrough 

champions, this was always goingtobea 

difficultassignment for Glenmark 

Cheviot after theexertions ofthree weeks 

of gruelling finals rugby. 

This was confirmed when aprematch 

glance at theteam sheetrevealed that 

backline lynchpins, MikeKeane and 

JordyGray hadbeen named on thebench. 

The decisiontogowithcomparatively 

fresher legs seemed to havepaidoff when 

GlenmarkCheviot made aflying start to 

thematch. 

Nick Hyde, who has been scoring tries, 

seemingly every Saturday,wasatitagain 

when he dotted downafter alineout drive 

andwingerEthan McDuff crossed on the 

half hourtotakethe locals outtoatwelvepointlead. 

But Kaiapoi is toogoodateam to be 

shut outofthe gamecompletely. 

It slowlystartedtoassert itselfand was 

rewarded just before the break when 

prop,Zac Andrews got thevisitors on the 

board. 

TaineJacobsLawson, who was starting 

to directplayexpertly from thepivot 

position, converted. This trywas the first 

of 27 unansweredpoints scored by a 

Kaiapoi teamthat wasgainingin 

confidence. 

With the experienced Matt Etheredge 

to thefore and prop Kafu Misiuataalso 

having ablinder, Kaiapoi made themost 

of their opportunities. 

At fullback, MattyTuatangaloa was 

dangerous withevery touch. Bailey 

Counihan and JaredGilmore scored the 

second half tries for Kaiapoi, both from 

lineout drives. 

At 2712, Kaiapoihad thematchinsafe 

keeping butGlenmarkCheviot certainly 

didnotlie down. 

Matt Jensen who played in the 

unfamiliarwingposition was alwaysa 

handful and Hamish Gibbdid some 

yeoman workupfront. Replacements, 

Sake Aca, who was outstandingonthe 

wing in the secondhalf,and JordyGray, 

both scoredlatertrieswhichatleast 

secured two bonus points forthe hosts. 

Although GlenmarkCheviot scored 

four triestothree, Kaiapoi deserved its 

win. 

GlenmarkCheviot 27 (Nick Hyde, Ethan 

McDuff,SakeAca andJordy Graytries, 

Cogs Harnett,CalebBeck, 1conversion 

each)lost to Kaiapoi 29 (Zac Andrews, 

Bailey Counihan,Jared Gilmore tries, 

Taine JacobsLawson 3conversions, 2 

penalties). 

Hurunui vWoodend 

On Sponsors’dayatCulverden, Hurunui 

played alot of rugby in the firsthalf 

without scoring many points.Woodend 

made anuisance of itselfatthe 

breakdown, making Hurunui pay forany 

isolated carries. 

Hurunuidid manage twotries in the 

firsthalf —one by hooker BenFunnell 

andone to halfbackJono Schwass who 

continued his strongform. 

It took a140lead in to thebreak. 

Early in thesecondhalf,Woodend 

closed thegap whenJordySwainekicked 

twopenalties, oneofthemaprodigious 

effortfrom halfway. From that point on, 

though, Hurunuiwas able to buildmore 

phasesand eventually foundholesin 

what had beenastoutWoodenddefence. 

Nordy Anderson at No 8always carried 

strongly forHurunuiand was rewarded 

with two second halftrieswhile 

replacement Josh Cavanagh also scored. 

Kicker KyleMcKenzie was on target for 

thehometeam,convertingallfive of 

Hurunui’stries. 

Hurunui35(Tries for BenFunnell, Jono 

Schwass andNordy Anderson(2),Josh 

Cavanagh, 1try, KyleMcKenzie 5 

conversions) beat Woodend 6 (Jordy 

Swaine 2penalties). 

Oxford vSaracens 

It’s notoften that afather and son 

combinationplay together in the same 

team in aDivision 1match, but it 

happenedlast Saturday when veteran 

halfback, TevitaVea,answered thecallto 

cover for aspateofrecent injuriesinthe 

Saracens team.Whenhecame offthe 

bench, hejoined his son Samson, a 

flanker in the team. 

Saracensdrewfirst blood when Johnny 

Turnbullmadeabreak,interpassed with 

winger LemuelHillthen fendedoff a 

coupleofdefenderstoscore.Oxford soon 

levelled upwhen Gus Mowat madea 

break and scored. 

Matt Roberts, playing in his 100th 

Division match forOxford, kickedthe 

conversion. Both teamsplayed ahigh 

tempogame.George Prain andJireh 

Vunibaka impressed forOxford butthis 

wastobeOxford’s only try. Saracens 

made themostofits opportunities. 

Kerran Jenkins scoredlaterinthe first 

half to giveSaracensa147 lead, then,in 

thesecond half, the versatileBrett 

Hancox, whowas fillinginat hooker, 

continued his excellent formfromrecent 

weeksinscoring twice. 

Oxford 7 (Gus Mowat try, Matt Roberts 

conversion) lost to Saracens26(Triesfor

What’s happening inyour 

community… 

Orange traffic light restrictions are in place -visit waimakariri.govt.nz for further information. 

Kaiapoi Road Closures 

Work is continuing in and around Otaki Street as 

part of the Shovel Ready Kaiapoi Stormwater and 

Flooding Improvements project, which should be 

completed by the end of August. 

There are teams working in Hodgson Avenue, Otaki 

Street, Chapman Place and Wesley Street at the 

moment with all hands on deck to complete the 

works as soon aspossible. 

The work involves connecting an underground 

pumping station in Otaki Street with two branches 

of large gravity pipes stretching east over to 

Ashley Place and west to Wesley Street. Along 

Otaki Street alarge pressure main is being 

installed toget the water tothe river in large 

rainfall events. 

Tominimise disruption, we’re taking the 

opportunity to replace the Chapman Place 

wastewater rising main, and some water mains 

as well as kerb and channel on Otaki Street and 

Chapman Place. 

Tocomplete this stage we will be closing the 

Fuller/Otaki Street intersection to traffic while one 

of the pipelines is installed. The intersection will be 

closed for around 4weeks and there will be traffic 

management and detours in place. 

There will be achange to some bus stop locations 

in the area too, with temporary bus stops in place 

as the buses use the detour routes. 

Detour routes: 

• Eastbound traffic will detour via Wesley Street, 

Epworth Street, Whitefield Street, Ohoka Road, 

Akaroa Street toFuller Street 

• Westbound traffic will detour via Akaroa Street, 

Broom Street, Otaki Street, Cressy Avenue, 

Wesley Street to Fuller Street 

Amap of detour routes is available at 

waimakariri.govt.nz. 

We appreciate there will be some disruption while 

the works are under construction. We’re grateful for 

the patience of the residents who will be happy to 

see this project complete in the next few months. 

This is amajor upgrade to the Kaiapoi Stormwater 

System which will increase the resilience of the 

stormwater network across Kaiapoi and reduce the 

likelihood of flooding in big storm events. 

Changes to Speed Limits inCust 

With safety improvement work complete, speed 

limit changes have been rolled out in Cust with a 

number of changes in and around the town. 

These changes were agreed to by Council aer 

consultation with the community last year. 

“We know that the speed you are travelling at has 

the biggest impact onthe outcome ofacrash, 

which is why Police focus on speed enforcement. 

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind people to 

drive within the speed limit, and to the conditions 

of the road. If it’s wet or icy, slow down. It’s always 

better to take your time and arrive alive,” says 

Police Sergeant Colin Stewart. 

The following road will reduce to 80km/h: 

• Cust Road, 80 km/h sign to east of Tallots Road 

The following roads will reduce to 50km/h: 

• Earlys Road, Cust Road to 100 km/h sign 

• Swamp Road, Cust Road to the northern side of 

the one-lane bridge 

• McKays Lane, entire length 

• Mill Road, current 60 km/h zone 

• Cust Road, eastern 60 km/h threshold to 1776

SpringstonTrophyturns 50 

Springston Pony Club has the honourof 

hosting the 50th Springston Trophy 

competition at McLeansIslandon 

October 6to9. 

It also hostedthe first competition in 

1972, which has goneonto becomethe 

pinnacle event for South Island pony 

club riders. 

At one stageitwas the largestPony 

Club eventinthe southern hemisphere. 

Springston also had the honour of 

hosting the 25th anniversary of the 

competition in 1996. 

There were 15 teams in the first event. 

Just 25 years later 45 teams competed. 

Covid19forced the cancellation of the 

annual event in 2020, pushingthe 50th 

celebrations out until this year. 

Numbers are falling from the halcyon 

days, but it is still eagerly anticipatedby 

many pony clubs throughout the South 

Island. 

As part of the celebration abook has 

been compiled by Anne Atkins 

celebrating those who founded the event 

—Mary Dalley, Joan McCall and Don 

Collett. 

It also celebrates the guardians, 

riders, officials,horses and ponies who 

have participated over the years. 

One chapter focusesonsome riders 

who have gone on to achieve on the 

national, and international stage,such 

as Jonelle and Tim Price. 

The bookisbeing presold, with orders 

closingatthe end of August. The order 

form is available on the Springston 

Trophywebsite. 

It is hoped to reach out to riders who 

may have taken part in aSpringston 

Trophycompetition, but now may live in 

the NorthIsland.

Bright career ahead 

By TATIANA GIBBS 

Racing a200cc openwheel vehicle, 

while reaching speeds of 110km/h, is not 

how most 12yearolds spend their 

weekends. 

But for Swannanoa School pupil,Jack 

Brownlees, apenchant for speed, and 

South Islandcompetition success, has 

won him aspot racing in Brisbane next 

year with Bateman Motorsport 

Australia. 

He is aimingtocompete in at least 

five Australian meetings, but for now he 

is patiently waiting for next season’s 

race calendar to be released. 

The young RuapunaSpeedwaytalent 

scored plenty of silverware at the 

recent annual awards night, claiming 

three majorawards—the Canterbury 

Championship, Top SeasonPoints, and 

Most Consistent Driver for the youth 

quarter midgetgrade. 

Jack has also won multipleSouth 

Island titles,takingout Nelson's Easter 

Champs, Greymouth’sBest of the West, 

the South Island Circle Track Racing 

Association (CADRE) title, and all five 

rounds of the South IslandQuarter 

Midget Car Series. 

Ruapuna Speedway president Rob 

Roxburghsays Jackisone of the best 

quarter midgetdriversinthe country, 

with abright future in racing aheadof 

him. 

‘‘He's got very good equipment,and 

he certainly knows how to drive,’’ he 

says. 

Jack also races go karts, grasskarts 

and offroaders,and in spiteofbeing 

four years awayfrom gettinghis drivers 

licence, he’sregularly on the podium 

while racing quarter midgets, ayouth 

openwheel class suited for 815yearolds 

with a200cc engine limit. 

Jack is especially good for his age, 

and cleaning everyone else up, Rob 

says. 

Jack was only 11 for the majority of 

the racingseason, beating teenagers 

older than him, beforeturning 12 in 

April. 

The new challengewill see him 

switch his 200cc quartermidget,for a 

500ccmicrosprintthat features atop 

and front wing —afaster youth class 

that is not available in New Zealand. 

‘‘It’s going to be apretty cool 

experience,’’Jack says. ‘‘I want to travel 

the world in (racing) and makethe most 

of it.’’ 

His father, Jacob Brownlees, says 

Jack is addicted to speedway,and 

instead of cominghome from schoolto 

play videogames,hewatches YouTube 

videos of his favourite driversMichael 

Pickens and Jack Lowe—successful 

racers thatstartedout in quarter 

midgets like Jack. 

‘‘If he was middle of the pack and only 

turning up because Itold him to, we 

wouldn’tdoit,’’ Jacob says. 

Jack’s mum KerryBrownlees says no 

matter whatride he jumps into, he 

blowsthroughthe field. 

‘‘A lot has to do withthe car, but 80% 

of it is the driver,’’she says. 

‘‘That’s whatsome people don’tget,’’ 

Jack says. ‘‘I’ll go home (fromspeedway) 

and straight away ask for videosofthe 

days racingsoIcan look at what I 

mucked up on, so Idon’t do it againat 

the nextrace meeting.’’ 

Jack’s proudest memory was being 

crowned CanterburyChampionthis 

season, atitle he achieved with a 

broken thumb,after breaking it playing 

basketball at school. 

He didn’t want acast on it, which 

wouldput the brakes on racing. 

Instead asteel plate was put over his 

thumbtohold it steady,and wrapped, 

so he could pull on his racing gloves. 

Jack lost the firsttwo races, and was 

very nervous before the feature race. 

‘‘Dadsaid it’s either awin it or bin it, 

so Iwent out thereand won it, and I 

don’tknow how Idid it.’’ 

‘‘In my mind all Iwas thinking was 

whiteflag pleasecome out, which 

signals to drivers they’re on their last 

lap.’’ 

Jack takes after his dad who started 

racing whenhewas 15. Jacobsays Jack 

has won more awards in two yearsthan 

he did in his 20 year racing career.
