Covid pressures keep doors shut 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black is hopeful 

the doors of the Waikari Hospital will 

open again in the not too distant future. 

However she understands the upsurge 

in Covid19 cases in Canterbury is 

putting pressures on the health system, 

and health staff, which will contribute to 

the timing of doors being reopened at 

the rural community hospital, along 

with those of Ellesmere and Darfield. 

‘‘I am desperate to get the doors open 

but Ican understand the pressures as 

well. 

‘‘It has always been said Waikari 

Hospital will reopen at the end of 

August and Iamforever hopeful that 

will be honoured,’’ says Mrs Black. 

Te Whatu Ora Waitaha Canterbury 

says continued sustained pressures on 

the health system have delayed their 

reopening. 

‘‘We do not have adefinite date yet for 

reopening these rural hospitals, as it is 

dependent on the ongoing demands of 

Covid19 and other pressures on our 

health system, including workforce 

needs, which continue to be 

challenging,’’ says Becky Hickmott, 

executive director of Nursing. 

‘‘While we are working through when 

we can reopen the rural hospitals, we

‘‘It could be aplace for short term care

hospital, utilising the beautiful 

environment and experienced staff,’’ 

she says. 

It would take the pressure off Access, 

and other professionals caring for 

people in rural communities. 

Ms Hickmott says while the hospitals 

have been closed for longer than 

originally anticipated, communities, 

patients and staff can be confident 

planning and processes are in place for 

coping with the seasonal pressures. 

‘‘Moving forward, local health services 

are going to be designed around the 

needs and priorities of communities, 

with clear requirements for active 

engagement and consultation. ‘‘Changes 

to the way health is delivered will mean 

local people and their communities, 

including iwi, will have asay on which 

health services are provided, and how 

they will be provided, Ms Hickmott says. 

‘‘This engagement, which we are in 

the process of getting under way, will 

form the basis of aplan for our rural 

communities. ‘‘We all want New 

Zealanders to have easier access to 

quality health care closer to home no 

matter who they are, or where they live.’’ 

Economy showing resilience 

By DAVID HILL, 

LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER 

North Canterbury’s economy is 

continuing to show resilience in the face 

of Covid19. 

Local business sector leaders say the 

region’s retail spend continues to be 

strong and visitors are returning to the 

tourist towns. 

Hurunui Tourism product 

development manager Graeme Abbot 

said Hanmer Springs tourist operators 

were enjoying abusy winter. 

Visitor numbers in June were slightly 

ahead of last year and the school 

holidays were proving busy, after ashort 

slump due to the recent wet weather. 

There had been ‘‘a noticeable’’ 

increase in Australian accents in town 

in recent weeks with the Australian 

school holidays, while Christchurch and 

Canterbury visitors continued to 

support the town. 

‘‘The feeling is that the Aussies are 

back and it replicates the feedback we 

were getting out of Christchurch a 

month ago,’’ Mr Abbot said. 

‘‘Typically you tend to get the business 

travellers first, then those visiting 

friends and relations and then the other 

visitors, so there’s always abit of alag 

before we get people dispersing out into 

the regions. 

‘‘Southeast Asian visitors have been 

starting to build up again in 

Christchurch and we're starting to get a 

few of them in Hanmer.’’ 

Waimakariri District Council strategy 

and business manager Simon Hart said 

the district’s economy was showing 

resilience in the face of high inflation, 

supply chain issues, staff shortages and 

Covid19. 

‘‘There are still anumber of sectors 

finding that the labour market is quite 

challenging and we know all of those 

factors are causing some concern.’’ 

Marketview data of eftpos spending in 

the Waimakariri district showed retail 

spending was up 11 percent in the year 

to March 2022, compared to last year. 

The rest of New Zealand was up 6.1% 

over the same period. 

Covid19 restrictions had led to people 

staying at home more, but Mr Hart said 

it was good to see people out enjoying 

community events over the last few 

months. 

‘‘If you look at events in Victoria Park 

(Rangiora), there’s been good numbers 

and the car parks are getting well used.’’ 

Enterprise North Canterbury 

business development manager Miles 

Dalton said the Waimakariri district in 

particular had coped well with the 

difficulties of the last two years. 

‘‘Unlike the rest of New Zealand, 

confidence remains positive overall, 

with our strong agricultural and 

manufacturing sectors holding us in 

good stead. 

‘‘This is reflected in our retail spend 

which has grown 11% compared to last 

year. 

‘‘There are difficulties ahead with 

continuing issues around staffing, 

supply, Covid and climate change, but 

Waimakariri is well placed to manage 

these difficulties successfully.’’

Subdivision opposition mounts 

By DAVID HILL 

A‘‘groundswell’’ of oppositionhas been 

expressed to aproposed 700 home subdivision 

at aOhoka, nearRangiora, says 

Doug Nicholl. 

The OxfordOhoka CommunityBoard 

chairpersonsaid it was clear from two 

publicmeetingsheld last week that 

residents had concerns about aprivate 

plan change request by Rolleston 

Industrial Developments Ltd to build a 

155 hectare subdivision. 

Residents who packed intoOhoka 

Community Hall on Sundaywelcomed 

news that the WaimakaririDistrict 

Council will oppose the private plan 

change, said Mr Nicholl,who chaired the 

meeting. 

Private Plan Change 31 proposes to 

rezoneland in Ohoka fromrural intoa 

residentialdevelopment of up to 700 new 

households, with spacefor acommercial 

area and either aschool or retirement 

village. 

The process is beingadministered by 

the council, but independent 

commissioners willbeappointed to 

consider the submissions. 

Mr Nichollalso chairsthe Ohoka Rural 

Drainage Advisory Committee and said 

the committee would be making a 

submissionopposingthe plan change. 

‘‘The potential of flooding with 

stormwater is quite devastating. One of 

the problems with these subdivisions is 

they don't look at the downstream effects 

of flooding.’’ 

Thoseconcerns were shared by former 

Waimakariri district councillor John 

Meyer. He attendedSunday’smeeting 

and was worriedatthe downstream 

effect on south Kaiapoi from stormwater 

and sewage. 

‘‘That water needs to be controlledat 

Ohoka so it doesn'thit Kaiapoi all at 

once.’’ 

Mr Meyerwas raisedonafarm at 

Ohoka and said residents were keen to 

learn more about the process and their 

options. 

‘‘A number of people were concernedit 

was happeningsofast and the short 

timeframe for submissions, but it was 

explainedthat they can make a 

submission for or against and then as it 

goesthroughthe process they can have a 

second opportunity. 

‘‘There were views on both sides. 

There were acoupleofpeoplestanding 

nexttome who said ‘what does the 

farmer do? What are his options for the 

future when you're that close to a 

residential area’.’’ 

Mayor Dan Gordon said local residents 

had ‘‘voiced anumber of valid concerns’’ 

at the publicmeetings. 

‘‘A lot of locals are very passionate 

about Ohoka and the lifestyle inherent to 

the village. 

‘‘For us it’sabout sustainable growth 

and we have concerns about the 

appropriatenessofthis proposed 

development.’’ 

Mr Gordonsaid an independent lawyer 

and specialists have been engaged by the 

council to assist in preparing a 

submission opposing the private plan 

change, which will be considered and 

ratified at the August councilmeeting. 

The proposed site was widely 

submitted on as part of the council’s 

Rural Residential Development Strategy 

in 2018, with concerns raisedthat it was 

‘‘lowlying, poorly drained, has ahigh 

water table and is increasingly floodprone’’, 

said Cr Niki Mealings, who lives 

at Ohoka. 

It was found to be unsuitable for 

5000m2 rural residential sections, while 

the new proposal was for 500m2 urban 

sections. 

‘‘It should come as no surprise that this 

has once again galvanised the 

community intoaction,’’ Cr Mealings 

said. 

Mr Nicholl said the new development 

would have an impact on the Ohoka 

School. 

One resident suggestedthe school 

could require up to 24 new classrooms to 

cope with the growth. 

The councilisaware of the public 

interest and has appointeda‘‘friend of 

the submitter’’toassistlocal residentsin 

making asubmission. 

Submissionsclose on August 5and will 

be heard by independent commissioners.

Bins crafted to recycle batteries 

Battery recycling bins willsoon be 

available at the Cheviot, Culverden, 

HanmerSprings and waiau transfer 

stations, thankstothe efforts of Hawarden 

Menzshed members. 

The bins, whichare for household 

batteries, will be delivered to the sites in 

the nextcouple of weeks. 

The initiative follows the success of a 

battery recyclingbin at Amberley transfer 

station. Batteries can also be droppedat 

the Hanmer Springs, Cheviot and Amuri

year, 450kg of household batteries were 

received for recycling, thanks to these 

options.

Worker skills essential 

By DAVID HILL 

Askilledworkforce is essential to a 

thriving andsustainable economyin 

Canterbury, says Waimakariri MayorDan 

Gordon. 

Speaking at the launch of aCanterbury 

RegionalWorkforcePlan on July14, Mr 

Gordon said askilled workforce provided 

economic,social and wellbeing benefits. 

The workforceplanhas been developed 

by the CanterburyRegional Skills 

Leadership Groupincollaborationwith 

the Canterbury Mayoral Forum and the 

Ministry of Business, Innovation and 

Employment. 

‘‘We wanttosee strongprimary 

production, highvalue manufacturing, 

highvalue tourismand we also wantto 

entice new business to our region,’’Mr 

Gordon said. 

‘‘To achieve this we need to attract, 

retain and grow adependable and skilled 

workforce.’’ 

The Canterbury Mayoral Forum 

instigated an education and training 

governance groupin2015,which is now 

chaired by Mr Gordon. 

‘‘Theforum notes, that the key to 

inclusive prosperity is empowering all 

sectors withinour region to reach their full 

potential, and having access to astrong 

and diverse workforce,will have ahuge 

influenceonthat success,’’ he said. 

‘‘As well as the economic benefits of a 

skilled workforcetothe region,thereare 

also limitless socialand wellbeing 

benefits. 

‘‘This plan ensuresequitable accessto 

support in the workplace, worker friendly 

environments, where employees willfeel 

safe and most importantly valued.’’ 

Mr Gordon saidthe region’s Mayorsand 

leaders had ‘‘a duty of care’’ to ensure 

everyone had fair access to education, 

employment and viablefuture 

opportunities. 

Removing barrierstoemploymentwas 

essential to improving the qualityoflife, 

he said. 

‘‘Withastrongfocus on regional 

education, training and upskilling people, 

we can see this workforce plan havinga 

significanteffectonpeople’s employment 

prospects not only now, but into the 

future.’’ 

Akey part of was advocating for the 

transition of secondary studentsinto the

OPINION 


Your voice should 

be heard on reforms 

It has been gratifying to have 

reasonable attendance at our recent 

series of workshops, designed to assist 

community members to develop a 

submission to present to the finance 

and expenditure select committee in 

regard to the 3waters reform. 

It is critical members of the public 

exercise their democratic right and 

submit before July 22, 2022. 

The series of workshops have taken 

abipartisan approach and paid 

attention on how to use the 

Government portal to write your 

submission. 

This is the first of asuite of 

legislation that is proposed in regard 

to the 3waters reform, and is 

particularly focused on the proposed 

four entity model. 

There is expected subsequent 

legislation which will focus on the 

delivery of rural water supplies in the 

next month or two. 

Our district submission is seeking a 

pause of the entire process, aposition 

we have held from the start. 

Councils are in the best position to 

understand and deliver to the 

communities that they represent. 

We must continue to advocate for a 

more equitable funding and financing 

model that would support councils to 

deliver on the desired environmental 

outcomes. 

Many good examples have been 

explored over the years, but 

unfortunately have not found favour 

in the current model. 

On another note, are you aware of 

North Canterbury Neighbourhood 

support? 

This is apart of anationwide 

community lead movement that brings 

people and neighbourhoods together 

to create safe, resilient and connected 

communities. 

Neighbourhood support work 

alongside NZ Police and other 

partners to equip neighbourhoods to 

improve safety, and be prepared for 

emergencies.

it willalso guide the privateand 

commercial sectoronwhere the district is 

heading.’’ 

The district’s populationhas passed 

66,000, as of June 30 last year, and was 

expectedtoapproach 100,000by2048.

issues and opportunities and beganthe 

early steps of whatagood economic plan 

for Waimakariri would look like.

Demand Better for Three Waters 

We all agree that quality drinking water and better environmental outcomes are agood thing for the country. But at this point in time there is 

no evidence that the proposed Three Water Reforms are the best way to achieve this. 

Currently most three water assets and services inNew Zealand are owned and delivered by local councils and are paid for byrates. 

The government is proposing that three water services move from the 67 councils, who currently manage these, into four large entities. 

At the moment we think there is only one side being represented and we want ratepayers to fully understand what these reforms could mean 

for them. 

That is why, inconjunction with Timaru and Whangarei District Councils, we sought legal clarity on these matters, through acase in the High 

Court. It is our view that under the Government’s Three Waters Reform proposals, it is expropriating council owned property without conceding 

that it is a“taking”, and without fair compensation being paid to communities for their property. 

In the Waimakariri District we have invested $100m over the past 20years to ensure our three waters infrastructure is up to date and weare 

extremely proud ofour achievements. Our assets are now worth $602m and the government has offered us $22m and two shares in the new 

entity as part of the proposed mandatory transfer. 

Last year we surveyed our district, asking what they thought of the proposed Three Waters reforms and what they wanted us to do. The 

message was clear, 95 percent of respondents said to opt out of proposed reforms. 

This sentiment has been widely shared across the country, with many councils having been given the same directive from their ratepayers. 

This is why we partnered with 31 other councils to form Communities 4Local Democracy -Hehapori mo te Manapori (C4LD). 

Why we are taking action? Because our ratepayers deserve better. 

No one is fundamentally opposed to discussing new ideas and ways of doing things. But rushed reform without adequate time to consider the 

consequences and without listening to those affected is in no one’s interest. 

C4LD has developed an alternative approach that delivers on environmental aims, creates opportunities for strong and lasting partnerships and 

safe, sustainable and affordable water services. Importantly, it also provides for the continuation of local influence and community property rights. 

We will be making asubmission of our own, representing our district, and presenting it to Parliament’s Select Committee. If you don’t want to 

see future water services that are ‘all pay, no say’ this is your opportunity to stand up, make your own submission and be counted. Now isthe 

time to demand better. 

Submissions are now being accepted on the Water Services Entities Bill at 

parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/make-a-submission/ scroll down to the Water Services Entities Bill tab to make your submission. 

For more information on how your submission supports our work to deliver better water reform, visit demandbetter.nz

New book ... Phil Walsh, the Woodend 

author of Conquering Cascade, an epic saga 

of Denniston coal, which was published this 

month. 


Woodend author Phil Walshhas won a 

raceagainst time to produce new book 

about WestCoastcoalmining. 

After adecade of research,interviews 

and sourcing material for his thirdbook, 

Philhas writtenConquering Cascade: An 

epicsaga of Dennistoncoal, which 

chroniclesthe troubles,triumphsand 

trials of the men andwomen who toiledto 

makealivingextracting‘‘black gold’’ from 

the CascadeCreek coalmine,inthe 

BullerDistrict. 

Philrecognisedthe story wasimportant 

and should be researched and told,but 

whenheeventually committedtowriting 

abook, timehad become hisnemesis. 

‘‘By2012,few people remained who had 

direct links withCascadeCreek. Those 

who did wereintheir80s and 90s, so the 

whole project became araceagainst 

time,’’hesays. 

Phil’sinitial interest in theCascade 

Creek coal mine wastriggered as a‘‘young 

fella’’ when his grandfather talkedabout 

coalflumes. 

‘‘I didn’treally knowwhat coalflumes 

werethen,’’ he says. 

‘‘But if youthinkabout spouting on a 

house, or abuilding,thatcaptureswater 

off aroof and channelsittoits destination 

in thedrainpipe,coalflumes are exactly 

the same, only they are carryingcoal.’’ 

GrowinguponafarmnorthofWestport, 

Philspent many hours exploring Cascade 

Creek duringhis teensand twentiesand 

developedconsiderableknowledge, 

including the headwaters where the 

CascadeCreek coalmine is situated. 

‘‘Betweenthe headwaters and the 

Kawatiri, or BullerRiver, which is where 

CascadeCreek empties into, there is 12 or 

13 kilometresofrugged,floodprone creek 

bed andwhenIlearnt thatthe coal 

companyused to flume all of its coal down 

to binsinthe Buller Gorge,itblew me 

away,’’hesays. 

Thirtyyearslater he discovered thatthe 

CascadeCreek coalflume was thelongest 

in New Zealand. 

It was then, when he was feeling‘‘more 

confidentwithmywriting’’’ that he 

decidedtobegin research forhis new 

book. 

At 328pages, fully referenced and 

illustrated,itisanepicsaga aboutthe 

Cascade Westport CoalCompany and its 

workforce,the Cascade Westport CooperativeCoalParty. 

The companywas foundedin1925 on 

limited resources andiron will but 

became acourageous playerinthe 

volatile postWW1 coaltrade. 

‘‘Despitewoeful finances, highlevel 

political andunion engagement, the 

companyoperated for28years, through 

somedireeconomic times,’’Philsays. 

‘‘Compounding the company’s struggle 

was theisolation,rugged topography and 

notorious climateofCascadeCreek, 

where, at every opportunity, nature 

conspired to sabotageits vulnerable 

flume.’’

Debate correction 

The North Canterbury Primary School 

debating competition had its originsback 

in 1998. 

It was started by Dr LouiseTapper, who 

was supported to run the competition by 

Southbrook School, where she was 

working as ateach of Extension Studies. 

Dr Tapper says the competition was 

fortunate to have sponsorship from John 

BrandtsGiesenlaw firm which provided 

the winners’ trophy and prizes. 

‘‘I believeitwas the only primary 

schools' debating competition that existed 

in Canterbury and this may still be the 

case. 

‘‘Margaret Maw (and Kaiapoi North 

School) took over the running of the 

competition after Ifinished up at 

Southbrook School, and did awonderful 

job. 

‘‘It is so pleasing to seethe competition 

in its 24th year,’’ says Dr Tapper. 

The North CanterburyNews incorrectly 

stated Mrs Maw had started the event 

while teaching at theKaiapoi North 

School.

KEEP IT 

CLEAN TO 

KEEP IT 

CLEAR 

While frosty mornings often lead to lovely fine days, cold 

conditions create achallenge for road users with black 

ice appearing on our roads, particularly in shaded areas. 

Roads that travel east to west are particularly bad where there 

are shelterbelts, such as on parts of Tram Road. Ice can remain 

on the road all day, socare needs to be taken at all times. 

Council contractors are out early in the mornings inspecting 

the road checking whether ice is present and laying grit. But 

they can’t be everywhere at once says Council’s Roading and 

Transport Manager, Joanne McBride. 

“Grit only improves friction by about 15% so you only have 

around 40% of dry road skid resistance. Where possible 

drivers should drive onthe grit, not in the wheel tracks, to 

maximise its effectiveness.” 

Ensuring you have good visibility of the road, other vehicles 

and signage is even more important in winter when fog, low 

light or sunstrike can affect your view. 

“Making sureyourcar windows areclean, insideand out, and 

that you have agood visor or sunglasses to help minimise 

the glare is important,” Joanne says. 

To help drivers keep their windscreens clear of ice and dirt, 

Council has ice-scrapers and window screen cloths to give 

away. Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Oxford service centres will 

have the scrapers and cloths available while stocks last. 

Some key tips for driving to the conditions include: 

• Check your vehicle is winter-ready – tyres are in good 

condition and atcorrect pressure, windscreen wipers are 

clean and work well, windscreens, windows and mirrors are 

clear of ice and moisture 

• Reduce your speed 

• Allow extra time for your journey 

• Leave more space between you and other vehicles 

• Avoid braking or accelerating suddenly 

• Make sure you have your headlights oninfog and low light 

• Pay attention to signage with warnings ofice and grit 

• Familiarise yourself with what technology your vehicle 

does or doesn’t have such as Antilock Braking System 

(ABS) and know the correct way to operate your vehicle in 

all conditions

Club disbands 


SeniorNetNorthCanterbury 

is disbanding. 

It has becomeavictim of 

its own success withlittle 

demand nowfor workshops 

it runs. 

Formed in 2004, SeniorNet 

was initially basedin 

Kaiapoi until the 2011 

earthquakes. It then 

relocated to atoabuilding 

on the groundsofthe Trinity 

Methodist Churchin 

Rangiora. 

During its 18 yearsithas 

helped many olderpeopleto 

learnhow to use acomputer 

and familiarised them with 

othermodern technology 

skills. 

PresidentBob Gumbrell 

says it hasbeen avaluable 

assettothe community of 

NorthCanterbury. 

However, the greater 

technological skill of older 

people on retirement today, 

meantthere was not as much 

demand forthe club. 

Waimakariri MP Matt 

Doocey says he is sorry to 

hear SeniorNet is 

disbanding as it had been 

invaluable to those who 

needed guidance. 

‘‘Ironically the success in 

providingvaluableIT 

education to seniors 

probably led to areduced 

need for the service. 

Mr Gumbrelland his team 

were committed to building 

confidence in seniorsusing 

online banking and staying 

safewhile on the internet. 

‘‘Weoften assume 

everyone is capable of 

everyday tasks on the 

computer,but this is not the 

case. Withanincrease in 

online banking and other 

services thiscan be very 

dauntingfor the elderly.’’ 

The decision to wind up 

the club was made at a 

general meetinginJuly, and 

followed discussion earlier 

in the year about the 

‘‘diminishing situation’’ for 

SeniorNet. 

Mr Gumbrell said while 

there was asmall core of 

members who madeuse of 

thefacilitiesand the social 

supportthe club provided, 

there was limitedresponse 

to courses and workshops, 

and alackofresponse to 

advertising of the courses. A 

newsecretary was needed, 

butnoone had put their 

hand up, and SeniorNet 

personnel were getting older 

andhad ‘‘limited ability’’ to 

provide specialist tuitionto 

those who did turn up. 

‘‘Technologyisprogressing 

faster thanweare aging, and 

theWaimakaririDistrict 

Council library serviceis 

providing courses in all that 

we can provide,’’ Mr 

Gumbrell said. 

‘‘Isee no futurein 

SeniorNet North Canterbury 

continuing to maintain its 

presence because of the lack 

of community response.’’

Cycleway ahigh priority for eastern towns 

By DAVID HILL 

ANorth Canterbury communityboard 

leader says acycleway linkingthe 

growing towns of Woodendand 

Pegasus with Kaiapoi is a‘‘high 

priority’’. 

WoodendSefton Community Board 

chairpersonShona Powell said acycle 

way linkingWoodend and Kaiapoi 

wouldgive locals the option of cycling 

to KaiapoiHigh School or into 

Christchurch. 

The Waimakariri District Council 

has rated aproposed cycleway 

between Woodend and Kaiapoi 

‘‘priority2’’, as part of athreeyear 

plan to upgrade the district’s walking 

and cycling network,which was 

consultedonlast month. 

Aproposed Pegasus to Woodend 

cycleway is ‘‘priority 3’’. 

AWoodend to Kaiapoi cycle way 

wouldcomplete thecircuit linking 

Waimakariri’s three main urban 

areas, along withthe Passchendaele 

Memorial Path (Kaiapoi to Rangiora) 

and the RangioraWoodend Path. 

‘‘I wenttoone of the dropins and 

therewas one young lad givinghis 

feedback and he saidhis ambition was 

to bike from Woodend to Kaiapoi when 

he goes to high school,’’ Ms Powell 

said. 

‘‘It gives people choice and that’s 

why it’s important.Wewant people to 

get out of their cars whenever 

possible. 

‘‘Children going from Woodend or 

Pegasus to Kaiapoi High School either 

need to take the schoolbus or private 

vehicle because it’snot safe to cycle, 

so they’re relying on mum and dad if 

they want to do after school 

activities.’’ 

She saidthe community board also 

Road safety ... Shona Powell, WoodendSefton community board chair, is concerned for 

the safety of Woodend and Pegasus cyclists and road users.

supported awalking and cycle path 

between KippenbergerAvenueand 

MainpowerStadium, which would link 

with the RangioraWoodend Path. 

‘‘I’m sure parents would appreciate 

it as it would meanchildren can cycle 

safely from Woodend and Pegasus for 

sports at the stadium.’’ 

Acouncilspokesperson says the 

lower priority for the proposed 

Woodendcycle ways is due to the need 

to work alongside Waka Kotahi New 

Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)as 

they willconnect with StateHighway 

1. 

But Ms Powell said cycleand 

walking accesswere a‘‘high priority’’ 

for Pegasus residents negotiatingthe 

Pegasus /Ravenswood roundabout on 

SH1. 

‘‘Pegasus is atown of cyclists. We’ve 

got two cycling groups in the town and 

quite ahigh proportion of mobility 

scooters. 

‘‘A lot of people moved herebecause 

of the qualityofthe footpaths and the 

pathway aroundthe lake. 

‘‘People want to havethe ability to 

walk or bikeover to Ravenswood to 

pick up afew things from the 

supermarket or to have acoffee, but 

they don’t have thatchoice because 

it’s too dangerous.’’ 

Ms Powellishopeful longpromised 

safetyimprovements in Woodendwill 

be completed by NZTA soon. 

Three proposed cycle ways were 

rated priority 1aspart of the cycling 

and walkingnetwork consultation. 

These include acycle way along 

Tram Road fromMandeville to 

Swannanoa School, and two pathways 

in Rangiora one linking Ashley,Ivory 

and Percival Streets andthe other 

linking Railway Road, Torlesseand 

Coronation Streets,and Ellis Road.

RURAL LIFE 


Science and collaboration helping farmers 

By GINA MCKENZIE 

29 

ANorthCanterbury farmer is using the 

latest science to help reduceher 

environmental footprint. 

Fernside dairyfarmer Julie Bradshaw 

has appliedlearnings from afiveyear 

National Institute of Water and 

Atmospheric Research (NIWA) irrigation 

studytomake sciencebased decisions. 

She is alsousinggenetics to improve her 

herd with the overall goal of reducing the 

farm’s impactonthe environment. 

Julieisparticipating in asixmonth 

farming innovation project, which 

examineshow the next generation of 

farmers are using innovativeapproaches 

to improvetheirfarmingpractices. 

The Waimakariri Landcare Trust and 

Waimakariri Irrigation Limited (WIL) 

have partneredwith the Ministry for 

Primary Industries (MPI)for the project, 

with support from MPI’sSustainableFood 

and Fibre Futures fund along with 

Environment Canterbury, Ballance,and 

DairyNZ. 

From 2016 to 2021Julieand agroup of 

five neighbouring farmers participatedin 

acoinnovation study whichprovided 

landowners withreal time data and 

forecasts to makesciencebasedirrigation 

decisions. 

The data included measuredrainfall, 

soil moisture, soil temperature, drainage 

and estimated evaporation as well as two, 

six and 15day rainfall and weather 

forecasts. 

Juliesays the practical studygave each 

farmer afantastic insight into theirown 

land and irrigationpractices,whilealso 

providingabroaderpicture of what was 

happening in the catchment. 

Having access to precise data has 

helped Julieand her neighbouring 

farmers to apply exactly the rightamount 

of irrigationand fertiliser at the righttime 

which helps to mitigate environmental 

impacts. 

‘‘Itwas amazing.Wehad so much data 

and information that we had never had 

before which has helpedusmake 

decisions aboutirrigation and fertiliser 

usedthat are backed up by facts and 

scientific data. 

‘‘Havingthe records also makes it much 

easier when it comes timefor your FEPs 

(farm environmentplans) and audits. ‘‘We 

can show that we have been usingour 

water resourcecorrectly.’’ 

All farmers involved in the study were 

abletosee eachother’s data and thishigh 

level of transparency helped the group to 

understand what was happeningin 

variouspartsofthe catchment.‘‘Wehave 

always been very open,’’ Julie says. ‘‘It is 

justinformationand data about water and 

getting to know more about otherfarms is 

helpfulbecause we are learning from each 

other along the way.’’ 

Although the study has ended,Julie still 

logs in to thegroup’s website most days to 

enableher to makeaccurate decisions 

about water allocation for the Cust Main 

Drain WaterUser’s Group. 

The group was established25years ago 

to manage waterallocation during the 

irrigation season when watertakes are 

restricted. 

‘‘It has been such abonustobeable to 

see where everyone is sitting in termsof 

the moisture on their paddocks as this 

helps me to allocatethe water more 

accurately to whereitisneeded,’’ she says. 

Last year Julie andhusbandPeter 

received the Sire Proving Scheme 

Farmers of the YearAward from the 

Livestock ImprovementCorporation 

(LIC). 

The couple has beenworking with LIC 

for 15 years and the award recognised 

their record keeping and commitment to 

havingtheir entire herd DNA tested. 

Looking to the future ... Fernside dairy 

farmer Julie Bradshaw is passionate about 

the ability of genetics to create the most 

efficient herd of cows.

Pou attracting appreciation at Food Forest 


Anew entrance way featuringtwo 

carved Pou has been receivedwith 

muchappreciationbyvisitors to the 

Kaiapoi FoodForest. 

BothPou werecarved by Kaiapoi’s 

DionHancy, who owns the ‘‘homebased 

business’’LittleShop of Taonga 

withhis wifeJade. 

Dionwas commissioned to do the 

workbythe foodforesttrusteeswith 

supportfrom the Waimakariri District 

Council. 

He said the mahi (work) provided 

him with ‘‘a greatopportunity to do 

something for our community’’. 

EachPou tookaround 150 hours to 

complete,from debarking and 

removingnotchesfrom each Pou, to 

the finished kaitiaki(guardian/ 

caretaker). 

‘‘ThesePou are based off the Maori 

godsHaumiatiketike and 

Rongomatane,’’Dion says. 

‘‘Haumiatiketike, the atua 

(ancestor with continuinginfluence) 

of wild anduncultivated foodsis 

shown wearing kakahu (clothes) 

reflecting the caretakinginvolved in 

achieving healthy harvests. 

Rongomatane, the atua of cultivated 

foods and the kumara,isrepresented 

by one handonhis puku (stomach), the 

other by his korokoro (throat),’’ Dion 

says. 

‘‘This symbolises illness but also 

marks the areayou would come to 

harvest rongoa (Maorimedicine) for 

these ailments. His piupiu (waisttoknees 

garment)resemblesthe strong 

roots fromwhich plants need to grow 

and thrive.Both Pou are there to 

promote kai sustainability and also 

create awarenesswithin the realms of 

rongoa.’’ 

Kaiapoi FoodForest Trustchair, 

Brent Cairns, says Dion hasdonea 

magnificent job. 

‘‘During our Matariki event we had 

many groups from aroundCanterbury 

visit the food forest to seethe Pou. 

Their comments wereoverwhelming 

and made us veryproud of what has 

been achieved,’’ he says. 

‘‘We are stunned by the beautyand 

the presencethat the Pou have.’’ 

The project came together with 

support from Waimakariri District 

Council staff,the team at Sutherland 

timber, and Smiths Hire. 

‘‘Thanks mustalso go to Glenn 

Foley,one of our trustees who with his 

building expertise, worked many 

hours installing the Pou, and thanks 

also to John one of the many 

volunteers who assisted with the 

installation, which included the path 

installation and fencing, and tooka 

numberofdaystocomplete,’’ says 

Brent. 

The carvings provide recognition of 

Kaiapoi’s historicconnection as an 

important trading area, says another 

food forest trustee, Natalie Leary. 

‘‘Prior to Europeans arriving, 

Kaiapoi was known as one of New 

Zealand’s most importanttrading 

posts for kai (food) and pounamu 

(greenstone). The most efficient way 

then of getting aroundwas using the 

waterways, so the Kaiapoi River was 

very important, Nataliesays. 

‘‘The installation of the Pou is a 

significant steptowardsrecognising 

our connection with the past, and the 

importanceofgrowing and learning 

about foodhere andsharingkai.’’ 

Powerful presence ... The Pou carved by 

Kaiapoi’s Dion Hancy, which were recently 

installed at the Kaiapoi Food Forest, have 

been attracting praise from visitors to the 

area.

New life breathed into timeless fairy tale 

By DAVID HILL 

The magical world of Wonderland came 

alive in the Rangiora Town Hall last 

week. 

The Hartley School of Performing 

Arts’ 2022 senior /intermediate 

production cast breathed new life into 

the timeless tale, Alice! An Adventure In 

Wonderland. 

We meet Alice Lidell (aka Lily 

Williams) in the opening scene and 

immediately we are introduced to her 

mind, which sees the world differently 

to those around her. 

She follows aWhite Rabbit (Zoe 

McKinlayClark) down arabbit hole and 

falls ‘‘almost to New Zealand’’. 

Alice emerges in astrange new world 

called Wonderland, where she meets all 

sorts of strange and interesting 

characters as she searches for away 

home. 

Among the most eccentric is 

Caterpillar (Oliver Burns) in the Yoga 

Garden. 

Akind of new age guru, Caterpillar 

soon had the audience in fits of laughter 

with his tips on finding enlightenment 

and fulfilment. 

Alice walked on to the manor where 

she met two bumbling footmen (Finn 

Arthur and Vaea Syddall), who don’t 

seem to know what side of the door 

they’re on. 

Inside, Alice meets the Duchess 

(Jared Jones) and her sidekick Cook 

(Rhys Holyoake), who made quite apair 

and for amoment stole the show. 

After the interval we were introduced 

to the Elvislike King of Hearts (Lee 

Pockson) and the formidable Queen of 

Hearts (Meg Kirwan), known for her 

catchphrase ‘‘off with her head’’. 

Alice is accused of stealing one of the 

queen’s tarts, but it is her courage which 

inspires and endears her to other 

characters, with the White Rabbit 

helping her to escape into the woods. 

There she finds Cheshire Cat 

(MadisonShakayla Tull), who is more 

friendly than their first encounter and 

sends Alice to find the eccentric Mad 

Hatter (Lucas Waghorn) and friends at 

his tea party. 

But Alice cannot escape her fate. She 

is forced to attend the Queen’s Court to 

face her accusers, where she finds she 

has made no end of friends on her 

unlikely journey. 

With alittle kindness, Alice is able to 

find her way home to her sisters and 

friend Mr Carroll back to where it all 

began, down by the river. 

The show appropriately finished with 

the cast singing the Harry Styles song 

Treat People with Kindness.Well done to 

everyone involved. 

Cuppa tea, anyone? ... The Mad Hatter 

(left, aka Lucas Waghorn) and Alice (aka Lily 

Williams) were among the stars of last 

week’s Hartley School of Performing Arts’ 

2022 production of Alice! An Adventure In

Ashley vWoodend 

Ashley wasfar too goodand ran away 

withthe gameina12try romp, against 

Woodend. 

Woodend providedseveralglimpses 

of veryskilful play, especiallysome 

slick passing, and scoredtwo good tries 

in the first half.EthanHobbshad a 

spirited gameatcentre, while hooker 

Aaron Karauria wasone of their best 

fowards. 

However, Woodend’sdisciplinelet 

themdown badly and aseries of yellow 

cards against them meant they played a 

significant proportionofthe game with 

only14men. 

Thisdid not helpthem in the battle 

for possession,and Ashley’s 

hardworking forwards provided a 

constantsupply of goodquality ballfor 

their talented backline to weave its 

magic.JoshDuckworthran hard all day 

and Jimmy Thiele andElijah Coulston 

onceagain showed their worth. 

In thesecond half, replacement 

flanker, Paddy Skerten wasthe starof 

the show. Havingcaptained Ashley’s 

Colts side this season, Skerten 

certainlyshowed he is well up to 

Division 1standard andwillbeahuge

attended an innovative Interactive 

Leadership Course. 

The course focused on Injury 

Prevention and Management,and how 

to administer basicFirst Aid for 

common Karate injuries. 

Speakingabout the course Club 

Sensei, Kev Merrimansaysthe course 

is designed to get students thinking 

aboutsafety in all training elements. 

‘‘While Karate is acontact sport, our 

more common injuries come from 

intense energy drillsrequiring 

explosive movementssuch as 

sparring, kicking, punching and 

throwing. 

‘‘So,students learnthe importance 

of warmingup, stretching and strength 

exercisesprior to practisingKarate. 

‘‘Thestudents now haveagreater 

appreciation of why executing 

techniques properly is crucial to 

avoiding injury often associated with 

poor technique,’’ he says. 

Injury prevention and management 

is an important part of physical 

activity, becauseithelps achieve 

training goals and kept athletes 

healthy and safe. 

Bev Archer amum to bluebelt 

Charlie Archer(aged 6), demonstrated 

how to deal with the morecommon 

injuries from Karate training. 

She saysitisrewardingtosee some 

real inventivesolutions to scenariobased 

activities. 

By the end of the course, the 

students had the confidence to 

recognise and treat various medical 

emergencies. 

They also had abetter 

understanding of how to prevent 

injuries by applying some of the ideas 

highlighted duringthe course to keep 

themselvessafe and healthy.
