Production line to
close at Sefton
fibreboard factory
By ROBYN BRISTOW
The two plumes of steam rising
fromstacks at the Daiken New
Zealand’s mediumdensity
fibreboard (MDF)production
facility at Sefton,willsoon become
one.
AproductionlineatDaikenNew
Zealand’s mediumdensity
fibreboard (MDF)production
facility at Sefton,North Canterbury,
willcloseatthe endofthe month.
The decision to retire theline,
which has beeninproductionsince
the factoryopened in 1975,follows
Daiken announcingarestructure in
May.
Closing the line whichhas
become difficulttomaintaindue to
its age, comeswiththe loss of 40
jobs. Nearlyall effected have
alreadyleft the business through
attrition.
Asecond linewillcontinueto
operate, in conjunctionwith
Daiken’s sisterplantinSouthland.
While thelinebeing retired still
produces the ‘‘best MDF’’ in the
world, which is prized in Japan,
Daiken’s key customer,ithas failed
to makeaprofitfor some years.
Human resourcesmanager
Vanessa Croft says whilethere is
demandfor the productfrom the
line —knowninthe industryas
thick panel —other factories
worldwideare able to use more
sophisticated machinery and
technology, making themmore
responsive to the market, and with a
wider array of technical
specifications.
‘‘I guess asimple analogy would
be with photography–our lineis
theequivalentofusingfilmand a
darkroomversus digital.
‘‘The quality is still exceptional,
but inputcosts, freight and other
constraintsmakeitnoncompetitive,’’
she says.
It was therefore ‘‘reluctantly’’
agreed to retirethe line.
‘‘ As a24/7,365 operation, it is a
significantday whenaproduction
linethathas been runningfor
almost 50 years, must be turned off
onceand forall.
‘‘Wehave maintenance engineers
who havespecialised in keeping it
runningfor decades.
‘‘Weare allverysorrythishas had
to happen,and that we’ve alsohad
to say goodbye to 40 valued
workers,’’ saysMsCroft.
Almost all those affected by the
closure of theline,haveleftthe
companyfor other jobs.
The shut downhas also meant a
reductioninits support teams, such
as mechanics, electricians,sales
and technicalstaff.
The second line, whichwas
installedinthe 1990’s, makes a
clean, thinpanelwhichhas awide
variety of applicationsand
competes wellinAsia.
Ms Croft saysDaikenismaking a
lot of headway in broadeningits
markets.
‘‘Our amazing engineersand
techniciansare applying allkinds of
innovationstocoaxproductivityout
of Line2that willsupplement the
closure of Line 1, so theintent is
thatwe’llcontinuetorun 24/7, 365
daysofthe year.
At itspeak, Daiken —previously
CarterHoltHarvey and Canterbury
Timber Products—had justover
180 staff.Todaythere is 140.

Steam plumes alocal landmark
From Page 1
The original Customwood produced in
the factory was world class, because it
was made from locally grown, whole log
Radiata pine, which provides asuperior
finish.
According to The Leading Edge by
Piers Maclaren: The Originating History
of MDF in New Zealand, Radiata pine
has features and characteristics that
results in anaturally made premium
product, highly prized internationally as
awall and flooring product. The product
was also renowned for innovations
developed at the Ashley factory that
made Customwood exclusively, a
premium for many decades.
The plant was officially opened by
Robert Muldoon in May 1977. At the time
it was North Canterbury’s largest single
employer and was the largest industrial
development in the South Island since
Tiwai. Its two plumes of steam quickly
became afamiliar landmark for many
travellers in North Canterbury, even
from the air.
At the time it had over two thousand
shareholders.
When the first board was made, there
were only 42 employees, now known as
the ‘originals’ and the ‘first pioneers’.
Ms Croft says there is still one on its
books from the well­known Lochhead
family in Sefton.
By all accounts, the originals were
very productive despite the low
headcount, simply because everybody
got involved. The charismatic leaders
such as Murray Sturgeon, ‘Doc’ Haylock
and Tony MacGibbon chose to have their
offices at the plant to be close to the
action, dressed in overalls, and ‘mucked
in’ when necessary.
Staff were paid 10 percent above
standard Union rates and paid good
overtime.
But probably more importantly, they
felt like family, and spent alot of time
socialising as well as working together.

WaimakaririDistrict Council
planning,regulationand
environment managerTracy
Tierney.
She was responding to last week’s
announcement by Environment
Minister David Parker of proposed
legislation to replace the Resource
ManagementAct.
The Natural and Built
Environments and Spatial Planning
Billswere introduced to Parliament
last week,while athird piece of
legislation, the Climate Adaptation
Bill,isdue to be announced next
year.
Amongthe proposedchanges is the
scrappingof100 district and regional
plansand regional policy
statements, which would be replaced
by 15 regionalplans.
‘‘There is alot to unpacktofully
understand the implicationsofthis
legislation, but on face value it is
hardtoargue withplans to simplify
planning in away that results in
better environmental outcomes,’’ Ms
Tierneysays.
She believes aregionalapproach
willbesupported in Canterbury.
Before joining theWaimakariri
District Council last year,Ms
Tierneywas acouncillor and then
environmentalservices manager at
the Timaru District Council.
The Greater Christchurch
partners, Christchurch, Selwyn,
Waimakaririand Environment

‘‘The council will take sometime to
formaview on these bills and will be
puttinginasubmissionwhen public
consultation opens,’’ Ms Tierney
says.
‘‘The long transition period may
seemexcessive to some, but
hopefullythis helps ensurethe
legislation when operational
delivers on its intent.’’
In the meantime, the Waimakariri
District Council willcontinue to
work with its District Plan Review
process.

Move to NZ highlight of long life
By SHELLEY TOPP
Franz van derVelden
immigratedtoNew Zealand
from the Netherlands in 1968
and has never returned to his
denselypopulated homeland.
Franz, who turned 100 on
Thursday last week,visited
New Zealand in 1963 withhis
wife Maria on their
honeymoon.
The couple fell in lovewith
New Zealand’s‘‘wide­open
spaces,beautiful scenery and
friendly people’’,and in 1968
made the decision to
immigrate heredespite
neitherofthem speaking
Englishatthe time.
It is adecision neither has
regretted.
Franz says moving to
Christchurch,beingable to buy
ahome there and finding longterm
employmentinthe city
have been highlights in his life.
His marriage to Maria tops
that listofhighlightswith the
birth of the couple's children,
Alexander and Petra and their
children,Brianna and Willem,
next.
Franz was borninMeerwijk
castle,the family homein
Empel, 's­Hertogenbosch,
(colloquially known as Den
Bosch),onNovember18, 1922.
His grandfather was a
wealthyland owner and coal
merchant during atime when
coal was apremiumfuel.
Franz’s father Nico,who was
the only person in the area who
had adriver'slicence,
transported coalfor the family
business, the StoneCoal
Company.
Franz was educatedin
's­Hertogenbosch, attending
primary and secondary school
there before studying at the
Maritime Academy in
Rotterdam.
During World War II Franz
Franz van der Velden
worked at homehelping his
family withharvesting on their
farm.
At one point during the war
his family was forced to leave
theirMeerwijkhome and seek
refuge in the nearby
countryside for several weeks
wherethey livedonpotatoes
growing on the landand used
hay bales for shelter.
It was adifficulttime for the
family butreturninghome to
Meerwijk after the war finding
theirfamilyhomehad been
severelydamaged and looted
was alsoalow point.
At the end of the war Franz
worked for several months as a
telegraphist at the Post Office
before joining KLM Airlines
where he stayed for 20 years,
first as atelegraphist and then
joiningthe groundcrew.
When Franz and Maria
moved to Christchurch with his
mother Elizabeth,they joined
his brother Henk van der
Velden and sister­in­lawTony
who had immigrated to New
Zealandin1952. Frank initially
worked as aharvester and a
painterbefore being offered a
job at the Sunshine Bread
factoryinMarshland, where he
remained for 22 years untilhis
retirement at 65.
The couple stayed in
Christchurch for 47 years in
the samehome, beforemoving
to Rangiora four years ago to
be closer to Petra. During their
marriage Franz has puthis
significant carpentry and
handymanskills to gooduse.
Petrasays her father was
always ‘‘pottering aroundin
his garage’’ building furniture
for the home such as cabinets,
wardrobes and beds, but also
otherthingslike dolls houses
and rabbitcages.
He took up stained­glass
leadlighting for severalyears,
has also been akeen fisherman
and is atalented musician.
‘‘He is very musical and
played several instruments,
including his favourites,the
pianoand the accordion but he
also played the clarinet and
saxophone,’’ Petra says.
‘‘There wasn'taday that went
past thathecouldn't be heard
tinklingthe ivories or playing
the accordion.’’
Franzhas passedhis love of
musicontoPetra, whoisa
musicteacherinRangiora.
‘‘When he visits my place, he
will still play on my piano,’’she
says.
Although Franz was ableto
drivehis car up untilthe
middle of last yearheis
disappointed that hisfailing
eyesight nowprevents him
from doingthat.
Franzhas seen many
changes in his long life. The
introduction of electric
lighting, compared to the
petroleumlamps used when he
was growing up, is one of the
most significant changes,he
says.
‘‘Theintroduction of
technology, air travel
becoming so easily and widely
accessible to all,the wide use
and ownership of motor
vehicles and the advances in
medicine, have been others.’’

River access
By DAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Environment Canterbury
(ECan) plans to make a
section of the Ashley
Rakahuri River more
accessible.
Adraft masterplan is
being developed for the
Rangiora Reach riverside
area following feedback
from the community.
Key stakeholders
including NgāiTūāhuriri,
the Ashley Rakahuri
Rivercare Group and the
Waimakariri District
Council have all
contributed.
ECan’s braided river
revival regional lead, Greg
Stanley, says the draft
masterplan will help to
revive recreation,
biodiversity and flood
protection.
‘‘We understand how
much the community
values this area, so we are
working with them to make
sure their voice is heard.
Population growth has
led to new forms of
recreation being
developed, placing
pressure on the river and
its ecology, he says.
The masterplan covers
the area from Dunlops
Road to Beatties Road on
the north bank near Ashley,
and Merton Road to Smarts
Road on the south bank
near Rangiora.
Feedback from the
community includes
designing aCones Road
area car park to improve
access and increase
amenities such as rubbish
bins and toilets.
Improved trail network
maps, shared trail signage
and other directional
panels have been included,
along with different grades
of greystone chip to show
different uses for trails
across the network.
Specific four­wheel­drive
access on the northern side
of the river has been
identified.
The masterplan balances
planting and flood
management, by using
native planting which will
fold over in aflood and not
hinder flow capacity.
ECan staff are also
looking at ways the river
can be widened without
compromising flood and
erosion protection.
Options include targeted
extraction of vegetated
berm and potential retreat
of forestry blocks from the
river's edge after
harvesting.

Kayaking will be included for the first
time in the annual Oxman multi­sport
event in Eyrewell, near Oxford.
The event this Sunday, November 27,
is along­course triathlon incorporating
arange of race options to suit athletes of
all ages and abilities, event director
John Newsom says.
‘‘As well as our long­course triathlon/
duathlon/aquabike (swim/bike) we have
amini OxMan, ajunior OxMan for 10­16
year olds, akids duathlon for 5­9 year
olds and run­only options over 21km and
7km distances for teams and
individuals.’’
Kayaking, which is limited to 25
competitors, will provide yet another
option and can also be done by
individuals or teams.
It is being trialled but the hope is, it
will provide agood training option for
people preparing for the Coast­to­Coast
multi­sport challenge from Kumara to
Christchurch on February 11 next year.
OxMan has been held annually at
Geoff and Rochelle Spark’s dairy farm
on South Eyre Rd, since 2019.
It has previously been held during the
second weekend of December, but this
year it is on two weeks earlier to avoid a
clash with December 10’s Iron Man New
Zealand which was postponed earlier
this year because of the Covid­19
pandemic.
Entries are slightly down on previous
years and John says this could be due to
John Newsom
‘‘Covid concerns, the credit crunch and
so many other events going on.’’
However, it is once again receiving a
lot of support from the North Canterbury
community.
Oxford Lions are helping out with a
food truck on the day, and local schools
will be doing marshalling work.
Although some of the big name
national athletes will not be competing
at OxMan this year ‘‘all the local elite
athletes will be there’’, John says.
Farmstrong, aprogramme launched in
2015 to help farmers, growers and their
families, will benefit from this Sunday’s
OxMan with asmall part of the entry fees
going towards the scheme.

By JOHN COSGROVE
EveryWednesdayeveningfor acoupleof
hoursfrom 6pm, Mike Dyndul opens the
Waimakariri Bike Project (WBP) doorsat
the back of the Dudley Pool complex,and
is inundated by people seeking his help.
‘‘TheWBP is alocal community
initiativeaimedathelping people get out
riding again,’’ he says.
‘‘Basicallywerecycleold pre­loved
bikes, donate them to peoplewho need
them and also helpothers fix theirbikes so
they can keep riding safely.’’
Mike,the project co­ordinator, saysmost
nights they are busyasthere are always
people coming downtohelp out, help
others, donateold bikes,find abike or just
learnhow to fix theirbikes.
‘‘Last week, ablokecame down and
askedusfor abike as he neededone to
help him getajob, we wereonly too
pleased to help with abike and get him set
up, especially when we learned he had
walked eight kilometres to get to us.’’
The project tries to supplyanyonewho
needsabike.
‘‘They are freewithnostringsattached
and no questions asked.Wealso gladly
take in any old bikes peoplehave lying
around and have no further use for
because they're eitherbroken, or the kids
have growntoo big forthem.
‘‘We thentidy them up if we can and pass
them on for others to use,’’hesaid.
At the recent Big Day Out event in

Mike said.
Mike, who works locally as acycle safety
trainer for schools, joined the project a
month after it started ayear ago as a
collaboration between many community
groupsand the Waimakariri District
Council.
The idea for acommunity­basedcycle
project originatedfrom theGovernment’s
MentalHealth WorkingGroup report,
which identified repairing bikes as away
of teaching young people new skills,
improvingconfidence and giving theman
affordable mode of transport. Mike saysit
also reduces waste by ‘‘taking bikes from
landfill and givingthemanotherlife’’.
He said all the spare parts they use
eithercome from parts stripped off
unusable bikesordonations fromthe ‘very
generous’ cycle shops in Rangiora.
‘‘They've helpedusout immensely, we
are very gratefulfor their support.
‘‘Whenweget abike, it’s assessed on its
repairability.
‘‘If it’s good, thenwehave many
volunteershere who will work to fix it up
and pass it on. If it isn’tusable, we
carefully removewhat sparepartswecan
reuse and recycle the rest.
‘‘Thisgivesusthe stockofspare partswe
need to keep all the other older model
bikesgoing.’’
Anyone with old bikes lying aroundcan

Mixing up renewable energy at bakery
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Rangiora Bakery is operating on 100%
renewable energy after 820 solar panels
were installed on the roof of its central
Rangiora premises.
The panelsare providing 25% of its
energyneeds, whilethe remaining 75% is
being sourced in partnershipwith
MainPower, from the KakarikiPower
Scheme—asmall hydro dam near Mt
Hutt.
The project, completed in September,
is one of the largest ever under taken by
Christchurch­basedFreshStart
Electrical.
Rangiora Bakery owner Ron van Til
says he is always looking for
opportunitiestoimprovethe
environmental footprint of his 160­yearold
business.
Solar panelswere the nextlogical step
after the installation of e­bike chargers
at the bakery entrance lastyear.
‘‘The installation of our freee­bike
chargers increased our power usage, so
we thought‘how can we offset thatcost?’.
Solar energywas the obviousanswer.’’
It is hoped the panels will produce
more that what’s needed as summer
approaches.
The initial solar panel outlaywas
about halfamillion dollars, but Mr van
Til expected the return on investment to
take onlysix years, compared to the
average household payback of 12­14
years.
‘‘It is alarge initialoutlay, but asixyear
payback is agood return. The
panelsalso come with a25year
guarantee and after those 25 years it’s
expected that the panels will lose only
around15% of theirefficacy. This is a
good wearing asset.’’
As supplierstoseveral multinational
companies, Rangiora Bakery is required
to be an environmentally responsible
organisation, and is audited annually on
this basis.
Throughaudit,todate, the business
has been earmarked as one of the
leadingcompanies taking action on
climatepositive initiatives.
‘‘Lots of businessestalk about going
green, but we choose to actually take the
steps required to implement these
initiatives.
‘‘Whileweare required to investigate
these opportunities as partofour
multinationalcontracts, thereisalso a
level of socialresponsibility here which
we takeseriously.’’
Mr van Til said other businesses
considering the shift to solar energy
should definitely consider it.
‘‘MainPower was fantastic to work with
and theyare keen to do more solar
installationsinNorth Canterbury. In
addition, there are localNorth
Canterbury businessesproviding solar
installation,soyou can support local all
the way.’’
Mr van Til says there are no
Governmentsubsidies he is aware of to
help businesseswith the investment,but,
some installation companies will offera
lease and buy­back typeofset­up,easing
the initialcost outlay.
Rangiora Bakery isn’tthe first largescale
business in Waimakariritoinvest
in solar power.Misco Joinery installed
535 panels on its factoryroof in Kaiapoi
in 2019.
At the time, it was the largest solar
energy systeminCanterbury.The system
provides up to 70% of the energy
requirements for Misco Joinery’s
showroom and workshop, which is the
Powering on ... The solar panels on the roof of the Rangiora Bakery, High Street,

largest automated plantinthe South
Island.
MiscoJoinery’s Penny Abell says the
installation has proven valuable to the
business.
‘‘In our showroomwehave screens
that show how many trees we have saved
and our reduced carbonemissions
through the use of solar energy.This is a
greattalking pointwith clients, but also
showsusthe impact we are having.’’
Pennysays the nextclimate­friendly
addition to the business will be an EV
charging point which will run on the
solar energygenerated by the panels.
In addition, Misco Joineryisinthe
process of gaining its Toitu Enviromark
Certification; an accreditationwhich
requires ongoing efforts and audits to
reach and maintainacredible
environmental management system.
‘‘For any business thinkingabout
investing in solar energy, we would say
go for it. It has many benefits.’’

Dotterel facing multiple threats
By DAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Kaikōura conservationist Ailsa McGilvary­
Howardbelieves it willtake achangein
legislation to save our native seabirds.
Ms McGilvary­Howard has spent the last
decadeadvocatingfor Kaikōura’sbanded
dotterel sea birds and is atrustee of the
Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable Trust.
She says the dotterel face multiple
threats including cats, dogs,four­wheeldrive
vehicles on the beach and crash
landing due to streetlighting.
‘‘People just don’t seemtocare, so what
we need is achange in legislation,
otherwise we willlose them and we are
losingthem.’’
Anesting site which she monitors had 25
pairs of dotterelafew years ago, but this
numberhas reducedtojust 11 breeding
pairs.
‘‘We had two domesticcats go absolutely
rampant recently. It was reallydepressing,
but we can’tdoanythingabout catsand
then we get dogs on the beach.And do
peopleneed to drive on the beach?’’
Ms McGilvary­Howard says peopleoften
assumeshe hatesanimals, but she has a
dog of her own.
‘‘I am an animal lover too,but my dog is
not allowed to eatchickens.’’
Part of the problemisthere are few
mammals native to New Zealand, so the
dotterelhas not naturally evolved with
mammalpredators like birds in other
countries.
‘‘The New Zealand dotterels and other
sea birds are smelly and some of the most
tasty,which draws in cats and dogs,’’ she
says.
‘‘Thatiswhy birds introduced from
Australia are doing well, becausethey had
marsupials which is aform of mammal.’’
Added to the lossofbreedingpairsisthe
lack newborn dotterel chicks, as eggs are
often crushed or eaten.

Maori ward
on agenda
Mana whenua representation in
Kaikōura will be considered again next
year.
Kaikōura District Council chief
executive Will Doughty says the council
will consider aMaori ward as part of its
representation review during the 2023/24
financial year.
DiscussiononaMaori ward is not new
to Kaikōura. The council voted in 2018 to
establish aMaori wardfor the 2019 and
2022 local government elections.
But it faced abacklash after lobby
group Hobson’s Pledge distributed
pamphlets, whichled to areferendum
where the proposal was defeated.
Mana whenua representation was back
on the agenda last year, butthe council
opted not to create aMaori ward after
extensive consultation with Te Runānga
oKaikōura.
‘‘We work really closely with the
runānga,’’ Mr Doughty says. ‘‘When the
opportunity for Maori representation
came in we had aworkshop with the
runānga around Maori wards.
‘‘It wasn’t a‘no’, but a‘not right now’.’’
He says there are still anumber of
unanswered questions, especially
around the speed of the process. The
council meetsregularly with the runānga
to discussissues of concern andthe
partnership is important to both parties,
he says.
‘‘We have been looking at thepotential
for advisory committees and the review
process will give us achance to have
another look. But we are also conscious
that there are quite alot of demands
being put on the runānga,soitisabout
working together in partnership in away
that works best for both of us.’’

Three Waters funding sought
By DAVID HILL
Local Democracy Reporter
The Waimakariri District Council will seek
ThreeWaters funding, while maintaining
its opposition to the proposed reform.
Councillorsvoted unanimously at an
extraordinary meeting on Tuesday,
November 22, to authoriseafunding
application to the Department of Internal
Affairs (DIA) for $5.54 million of ‘‘Better
Off’’funding.
The application was approved with the
insertion of clausesinto the draft funding
agreementdesignedtoprotect thecouncil’s
opposition the government’s proposed
reform programme.
The clauses wereprepared by law firm
Anderson and Lloyd and protect the
council’s membershipoflobby group
Communities 4Local Democracy.
MayorDan Gordonsaid the funding was
agood opportunity for the council to
completesome projects which it would
otherwise not be able to do in the short
term.
The original draft agreementfrom DIA
contained clauses whichappeared to
prevent councilsfrom opposing the reform
agenda.
‘‘They are apparently standard wording
in DIA agreements, so perhaps theyhaven’t
been read closely enough in the past,’’ Mr
Gordon said.‘‘Butthe clauses from
Anderson and Lloyd havepreserved our
principles around Three Waters.’’
Waimakariri District Council strategy,
engagement and economic development
general manager Simon Hart said initial
indications fromDIA staffsuggested the
new clauses may not be acceptable to DIA.
‘‘We sought some advice and we were
givenseveral options, we couldproceed as
planned with the newclauses,orwecould
delete the offendingDIA clauses, we could
just go with the standard agreementornot
proceed at all.’’
Mr Hartsaid the recommendation was to
proceed with the newclauses ‘‘andwecan
always revisit it, if it is rejected’’.
Should the application be successful,the
council will place afocus on climate
change projects.
Elderly persons’ housing, the Kaiapoi to
Woodend cycle way, the Rangiora civic
precinct project and aKāinga Nohoanga
Strategy projectinMaori Reserve 873 were
also included.
Cr Philip Redmond saidhewas initially
going to oppose the funding application,
but changedhis mind on the basis of the
new clauses being inserted.
An assurance from Opposition Three
Waters Spokesperson Simon Watts that
National would not require the money to be
repaid, shoulditwin nextyear’selection,
had alsohelped to sway his vote.
‘‘Weare effectivelyreceiving adeposit
towards our assetsand evenifwe were to
turnthis payment downwewon’t
necessarilylose it, if there is no change of
government.
‘‘But if we don’t acceptitnow and there
is achange of government, the money
probably wouldn’t be offered again.’’
The WaimakaririDistrict Councilis
eligible for up to $22.18 million of ‘‘Better
Off’’ funding, includingupto$5.54 million
in the first tranche.
The ‘‘Better Off’’ funding is for afive­year
programmeand projects wouldbesubject
to finalapproval fromthe council’s utilities
and roadingcommittee and will likely be
consideredaspart of the council’s annual
planprocess.

events.’’
Cr Edge said he believed integrating aTe

Baptism by fire at Coastal Park
By SHELLEY TOPP
TuhaitaraCoastalPark’snew senior
ranger Deane Barlow had asharp
reality check duringhis firstfew
weeksinto the job.
The former Environment
Canterbury rangerbegan work at the
park on October 17, but was faced with
an emergency only afew weeks later
when the Pegasus Beach fire, which
was startedbyfireworks,badly
damaged large areas of the park.
‘‘It was avery worrying timefor us,
as we had no idea what the scaleofthe
fire was going to be,’’ Deane says.
‘‘Oursmall team put in amassive
effort to get up to speed, attend
callouts at various hours, and keep on
top of hot spots.
‘‘I would liketothankeveryone
involved on thefire ground, FENZ
(Fireand EmergencyNew Zealand),
the aircrew for all theirhard work
containing the blaze, and the
communitywho provided food and
refreshments to all involved,and
everyonewho came together to
support the effortsofthe team,’’ he
says.
‘‘That support has beenvery
uplifting and we can’t wait to work
alongside everyonetoreturn the park
back to an amazing place again.’’
Work hasalready begunonthe
recovery programme.
‘‘We are looking forward to the
opportunities the fire has given us
whilenot forgettingthe time and
effort that has been lost due to the
fire,’’ Deanesays.
‘‘There is still much discussion to be
had with what is ultimately going to
happen with the forestry trees, and
that will againadd more options.’’
Before acceptinghis new roleDeane
had workedalongside GregByrnes,
general manager of the Te Kōhaka o
Tūhaitara Trust, administratorsofthe
park,and alsoanewly­elected
Environment Canterbury councillor,
doingbeach patrols from Kairaki to
Waikuku.
‘‘I was attractedtothe role by Greg’s
passion for Tuhaitara Coastal Park
and the chance to be apart of the
amazing teamand communityof
people who put such ahuge effortinto
restoringthis special place, Deane
says.
‘‘Greg has reallypavedthe way with
the restoration workofTutaepatu
Lagoon, the wetlands, native plantings
and getting this place into alovely
public asset for all to enjoy,soIhope
to continuethat great work and build
the team's capabilities in all areas,
while maintaining ahighlevel of
passion, and pride in theirwork to

Despite the fire adding an unwanted
layer of dramatohis first few weeks
working at the parkDeaneisenjoying
his new role, and feelslucky to have
suchabeautiful workspace.
‘‘Ithas beenfantastic. The team has
beenvery accommodating and Ihave
beenwelcomedwith open arms.’’
His role involves the daily
maintenance and improvements to the
parkspace. It can be anything from
trail upkeep,dealing with wind­blown
trees, responding to public queries,
hosting school and communitygroup
plantings and dealing with‘‘whatever
other curve balls arethrown our way’’.
Deane's favouriteplaceinthe park
is overlooking Tutaepatu Lagoon, and
he is looking forward to rebuilding the
lagoon’s lookoutwhich was destroyed

Tiny herd the heart of anew milk venture
Atiny,individualisedherd of show cows
forms the heart of anew operation—
supplying raw milk to the public, three
minutes from Rangiora.
Peter and Claire Hansen’s Fernside
Fresh, has blended Peter’s lifelong
obsession with registered Jersey show
cows, into abusiness model witha
difference.
The beauty of atiny herd, arare
phenomenoninNew Zealand,includesa
lot of natural advantagesfor the 16 handpicked
cows, whosemilk filltwo,
200­litre self­serve milk vending
machines, every day at the family’s new
dairy at 492 Oxford Rd, near the
Fernside school.
The cowsare pasture fed and only
have ashort 200mwalk to the dairyeach
day. Milking takes no more than 20
minutes twice­a­day,and as the milk
doesn’t have to go the milk factory, fresh
milk is available at afast clip.
All the calves are reared at Fernside
Fresh, including the bull calves.
While the national averagelifespan for
adairy cow is between three to four
years, Fernside Freshhas cows still
milking aged 14 years.
Without the pressures of alargeherd,
the cows liveacomfortable life witha
local purpose.
They carry registered nameslike
Chanel, Bright Eyes, and Viyella, and are
shown by the family at the Canterbury
A&P Show.
Its beenafamily dream to be able to
sell aquality producttothe publicand
cut out the middle man, Peter says.
Claire says, Pete’spassion is for the
cows, and becauseofthat ‘‘we have milk
and we wanted to makeitavailable to the
public’’.
The small Fernside Fresh herd comes
with some Royal connections.
The late Queen ElizabethIIowned a
Jersey herd(which was established at

Windsor in 1871).
She is looselylinked to two of the cow
families at Fernside Fresh—Viyella and
Bright Eyes. They were bought from the
New Zealand breeders who the Queen
ownedcows in partnershipwith for many
years—FerdonGenetics, at Otorohanga.
AlthoughFernside Fresh is a
newcomer to the market, Peterhas been
working towards this reality since he was
10­years­old.
Peter’s grandparents, Fred and Freda,
farmed Jerseys on Fernside Roadfrom
1936,and despite owning his successful
drainlayingbusiness Peter Hansen
Drainlaying, Peter has neverwavered
from his passion for Jersey cows.

He and Claire travelled to Australia in
2017, buyingfour registered Jersey cows
from arenownedAustralian breeder to
bring hometoNew Zealand.
Atravestyoftiming thwarted their
15­yeardream.
Ten days before the cows boarded the
plane from Australia havingpassed all
their tests and completed their
quarantine,New Zealand's Ministry for
PrimaryIndustries (MPI) reported NZs
first outbreak of Mycoplasma bovis (M.
bovis)in New Zealand.
The border was shut. The dream and
the investmentsufferedamajor setback.
Fernside Fresh’sconcept to reality
took agame­changing step forward two
yearsago when the couplefoundthe
perfect farm.
Sincethen, they have been workingto
develop their new property,including
building acowshedand shop front.
Approval to market their milk from the
Ministry for Primary Industry (MPI)
completed theirfinalstep.
‘‘Every week, we see messages on
community Facebook pages asking for
milk.
‘‘We have been so looking forwardto
getting the final thingsinplace, and now
to have the MPI approval we are excited
to be openfor business,’’ Clairesays.

Creek water quality improving
By DAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
RURAL LIFE
North Canterbury News, November 24, 2022

QUALITY FENCING
BUILT TOYOUR BUDGET!
Kaikōura’s familiar stream is now a
space enjoyed by all, says Kaikōura
Zone Committee chairperson Ted
Howard.
The Waikōau /Lyell Creek catchment
has seen major improvements in water
quality, biodiversity and mahinga kai
values over the past 60 to 70 years
through community action.
The creek flows from springs, fed via
groundwater from the alpine braided
Kowhai River, and meanders across the
pastoral landscape and lifestyle blocks
of the Kaikōura Flats and into the town.
The zone committee made it apriority
to improve the water quality of Lyell
Creek in 2012.
‘‘It is agreat place for the community,’’
Mr Howard says.
‘‘Birds, fish and insects can thrive in
it, and it provides away for locals to
connect with their natural environment.
‘‘It wasn’t always like this, so it is great
to be able to look back on decades of past
actions and see how over time, people
and place has been connected, with
outstanding outcomes to improving such
acentral water way.’’
But more needs to be done and
keeping the community connected to the
stream is one of the keys to keep
improving water quality, he says.
In 2017, the post­quake Kaikōura
Plains Recovery Project carried out a
stream walk along Lyell Creek and its
connected drains, to collect information
on the health of the catchment.
The survey led to two reports being
compiled by the National Institute of
Water and Atmospheric Research
(NIWA).
The stream walk approach is now
being used as atemplate for other
catchment projects in Kaikōura.

some cultural artwork has also been
established at the public reserve by
State Highway 1, to raise awareness of
stormwater impacts on the creek, and
the cultural importance of the area.
Planting has also been apriority for
the zone committee.
‘‘This reserve is shaping up to be a
rich outdoor classroom, and aplace of
quiet contemplation, for people to
connect with the awa and continue
traditions of mahinga kai,’’ Environment
Canterbury land management and
biodiversity advisor Heath Melville
says.
‘‘Over the last 10 or so years there’s
been ongoing weed control, numerous
community stream and beach clean ups
and educational opportunities in the
lower Lyell area.’’
Dairy Awards closing soon
North Canterbury dairy industry
workers and owners have until
December 5, 2022 to enter the New
Zealand Dairy Industry Awards 2023.
Whether you are an up­and­coming
dairy farmer, or looking to boost your
career in dairy management, then you

More information can be found at at
dairyindustryawards.co.nz
NZDI general manager Robin
Congdon said all the regional
committees came together for a
conference earlier to learn how to
deliver the 48 regional events and
numerous judging days.
‘‘The conference was abusy few
days, ensuring everyone knows what’s
required to deliver the dynamic
programme and bring them up to
speed on this year’s changes made to
the Share Farmer category judging
process,’’ he said.
For North Canterbury entrants in
the Canterbury/North Otago regional
dairy trainee of the year ­skills day,
dairy manager of the year and share
farmer of the year, the preliminary
judging will take place next year

Concept plans have been developed
for the public reserve next to the
Kaikōura I­Site, while input from Te
Rūnanga oKaikōura has led to agreater
emphasis on mahinga kai and rewilding.

Dibb World Champion
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Bronwyn Dibb, from
Rangiora­based Ice
Trampoline and
Gymnastics North
Canterbury, is aWorld
Champion.
Dibb took out the
women’s double mini
trampoline title last
Saturday morning, at
Sofia in Bulgaria, ahead
of the United States and
Australia.
It was an extremely
close final. Dibb scored
just 0.1 ahead of silver —
with only 0.900
separating gold and
bronze.
Her world title comes
just four months after
winning silver at the
2022 World Games.
‘‘To become aworld
champion and win the
gold medal is adream
come true and makes all
the hard work, time,
effort, and sacrifices all
worth it.
‘‘I am so grateful for
the opportunity to get
out on the world stage
and represent my
country and for
everyone who has
supported me on my
journey to this day’’
‘‘I was shocked when I
realised that Ihad won
gold.
‘‘It was very exciting
waiting for the scores
from the other finalists,
keeping the faith one
after another until the
final result.
‘‘I could not be
happier,’’ she says.
New Zealand’s last
double mini world
champion was Kylie
Walker back in 1998,
who was also coached by
Dibb’s coach Nigel
Humphreys.
Humphreys says it
hard to believe 24 years
has gone by since
Walker’s World
Championship win.
‘‘As acoach you
always hope for another
‘once in alifetime
athlete’ but most are not
as fortunate as me.
‘‘Bronwyn is such a
special person and
dedicated to being the
best she can be.’’
As asecondary event,
Dibb competed in the
synchronised
trampoline competition
with Tokyo Olympian
Madaline Davidson
(Olympia Gymnastic
Sports, Christchurch)
where the pair finished
16th.
World champion ... Bronwyn Dibb, who won the
women’s double mini trampolinetitle and the World
title at Sofia, Bulgaria.

Dibb’s trampolining
feats were celebrated at
the North Canterbury
Sports Awards earlier
this year, where Dibb
Percival St, Rangiora
(03) 313-8186

took out the Supreme
Award at the event
hosted by the North

Rallying to super saloons
By JOHN COSGROVE
Two thingswill be different when
notedrallydriver Matt
Summerfield lines up at
Woodford Glen Speedway on
December 3.
His sister, Nicole,won’t be codriver
and he won’tbeonhis own
as he races asupersaloon
around the short oval track.
‘‘I haveverylittle experience
with cars being aroundme. Ihave
had some circuit racingevents
(Skope classicmeetings) and a
few goesatRuapunaspeedway,
but this is very different as it’s
difficulttojudge what others are
goingtodoand how close Ican
get to thematthe moment,’’ he
said.
Back in August Josh Boulton,
former national champion and
ownerofthe veryrespected
Boulton Racing TeaminNorth
Canterbury, announcedMattasa
second new driver in the team,
drivingasupersaloon for afull
season.
Matt saysthe opportunity came
aboutafter he was approachedby
BRT, whichwas looking for
someone outside of speedway to
come andhave agoinone of
theirhand built racecars.
‘‘I can’t reallytake much over
from rallying at all, I’m pretty
used to the speed side but
everythingelse,the other
competitors around me and the
way car behaves as well as the
trackisall goingtobevery new to
me,’’hesaid. ‘‘I’m just looking
forward to learning all that Ican
with the teamasIamvery
fortunate to be working alongside
Josh Boulton and the BRTteam
who are well known for both his
skillswinning national
championships and also for
building race cars to exactingly
high standardsofdetail and
craftsmanship.’’
Matt saysheislooking forward
to theracing anddevelopingthe
skillsneeded to be competitive,
understanding what the car
needs to go fast, and developing
assertive racecraft and not be
pushedback. The December3
meeting at WoodfordGlen ,will
host the Mainland Stockcar
TeamsChamps.

What’s happening in your
community…
Smith Street Speed Limits –Only aFew
Days Le toHave Your Say
Should we lower the Smith Street speed limit from
80km to 50km?
The Council is reviewing speed limits to ensure
roads have safe and appropriate speeds for their
current use.
This review focuses between the SH1 motorway
interchange and the Cam River bridge.
Further development istaking place in the
commercial area on the south side of the
road. This means the current speed limit is not
appropriate for the future urban residential and
commercial setting.
We welcome your feedback on the proposed
change. Share your thoughts with us on the link
below before Monday 28November 2022.

Road Resealing Programme
This summer it’s sealing season. Council is rolling
out its road resurfacing programme and you will
see contractors working on various roads around
the District.
To begin with contractors will prepare the roads,
ready to be sealed. This involves minor repairs
including filling potholes, repairing edge break and
carrying out minor levelling works before the new
chipseal is applied.
Thework will be carriedout duringthe day and
contractors willtry andkeepdisruptiontoaminimum
however, theremay be some impacts including:
• Limited traffic movementthroughthe street, some
controlled access and reduced on-street parking
• There may be some noise and vibration from
construction during the day
• The area will be swept within 48 hours of sealing
but we would expect asmall amount of ongoing
chip loss over the next 3-6 months.
Letterdrops will be carried out prior to chipsealing
being carried out. This is an ongoing programme so
keepaneye on ourFacebook pagefor regular updates.
