Diamond ring finds light of day 

By JOHN COSGROVE 

Ecan rates to 

rise by 10% 

Adiamond ring,found tucked away in 

an old meterbox, in the former 

Culverden Post Office, has prompted a 

whodunit investigation in the town. 

Police have turned to social media to 

find an owner,while local residents 

try to recall who has worked in the old 

building over the past few decades. 

Theories abound such as it being 

part of astash from an old jewellery 

store raid, the forgotten loot of alightfingered 

postalworker, or the 

collateral from alove story gone 

wrong. 

Culverden Community Police 

OfficerConstable Damian Schuurman 

says the ornate,four diamondring was 

found recentlywhen staff at the former 

Post Officesite,suffered ahoist 

problem. 

They suspected an electrical fault 

and checkedthe building'smultiple 

switchboards to find the offending 

fuse. 

But when they stillcouldn’t find the 

right one, one staff member went next 

door to the formerpost office storage 

and mailsortingroom, and prized 

open one of two old unused meter 

boxes. 

Lookingaround something caught 

his eye. 

He spotted asmall oddshaped box 

secreted in behindthe switchboard 

and cables. 

It was avery tattyring box covered in 

dust and lookedlike it had been there 

for decades. 

Removing it and dusting it off, he 

discovered it containedagold ring 

coveredinjewels. 

The inside of the box was 

emblazoned with the name, Rangiora 

Jewellers. 

Constable Schuurman says the 

young worker took the ringtothe 

Culverden Police Station and the task 

of matching the ring to its rightful 

owner began. 

‘‘Interestingly he toldmethat when 

he was talking later to his mum about 

the ring, and wherehehad found it, 

she recalled she had once sent aring 

via postand it had never arrived,lost 

Mystery ring . .. This ornate ring was discovered hidden away behind aswitchboard 

in ameter box in Culverden.

in transit. 

‘‘But thisring wasn’t hers.’’ 

ConstableSchuurman started by 

tracing the company logo and 

discovered Rangiora Jewellers in 

HighStreet, had ceased trading many 

years ago. 

‘‘The owner has passed away and his 

wifehad moved into the city and set up 

ashop in amall there. But she didn’t 

haveany recordsnor recognised the 

ring’s design,soweturned to social 

media to try to locate its owner.’’ 

He says they often receive items and 

jewellery found on streets and handed 

in or discovered as the result of 

ongoing Police operations, but this was 

something different. 

‘‘It’s alovely ornatering with four 

smalldiamondsonitand was probably 

worthbetween one and two thousand 

dollars. 

‘‘It mustbelong to someone, or 

someone must knowwho it was 

purchased by or for. 

‘‘We all would love to know the story 

behind it, and why it spent so many 

yearshiddenaway.’’ 

He would like to reunite the ring 

with its owner, if it is at all possible.

it, please head intoCulverden Police 

Station or ring 105,quotingfile

Canterburyratepayers are facingahefty 10 

percent rate hike. 

EnvironmentCanterbury adoptedits 2023/24 

annual plan last week, confirming an average 10% 

rate increase. 

Cr Grant Edge said it was ‘‘a constrained, but 

socially responsible budget’’ consideringthe high 

inflation environment the council was facing. 

‘‘This annual plan is done with good intent, even 

though we know further pressures are coming.’’ 

Cr Claire McKayinitiallyvoted againstthe rise, 

but decided to support the adoption of the annual 

plan. 

‘‘I acknowledgesome of the difficulties staff have 

faced given high inflation and the world we live 

in.’’ 

NgāiTahu Cr Tutehounuku Korako 

acknowledgedthe efforts to tackleclimate change 

and protect the environmentinthe plan, while 

deputy chairpersonCraig Pauling said he was 

‘‘excited’’ about the bus fare trial. 

Cr John Sunckellsaid the council faced ‘‘a 

tsunami’’oflegislative requirementswhich would 

put pressure on staff as work began on the 2024/34 

Long Term Plan. 

A4.6% rate rise had been signalled in the 2021/31 

Long Term Plan,but the council introduced abus 

fare trial, public transport improvements, and a 

flood recovery programme last year which added 

to the ratesbill. 

The council received 170 submissions, with 76% 

of respondents broadly supportive of the draft 

plan, corporate services director Giles Southwell 

said. 

Implementing new targeted national public 

transportfare concessions is causing aheadache 

for council staff. Public transport general manager 

Stewart Gibbon said the council was unable to 

offer the free fares for under13s, introducedinlast 

month’s Budget as it didn’t have the technology to 

offer free fare from July 1. 

It’s hoped to be ready in August. 

AMetroCard was likely to be required to access 

the under13free concessionwhen it is introduced. 

The government alsointroduced 50% fare 

concessions for tertiary students,under25s, 

community services card holders and total mobility 

customers from July 1. 

The counciladopted anew $2 flat fare in June 

last year on atwoyear trial which took effect on 

July 1, meaning the 50% concession would be $1.

Council firm on annual plan 



Waimakariri’s councillors stoodfirm 

in adopting an annualplan containing 

references to the UnitedNations’ 

sustainable development goals. 

The Waimakariri District Council 

came under fire from aboisterous 

public gallery last Tuesday, as it 

adopted its 2023/24 annual plan. 

An average rates rise of 6.24 percent 

was confirmed, but members of the 

public vented theirfrustrationsatthe 

inclusion of statementsrelating to the 

United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for 

Sustainable Development (known as 

Agenda 2030) in the annual plan. 

MayorDan Gordonrepeatedly 

reminded the crowdtorefrain from 

interjecting, even threatening to 

emptythe public gallery. 

The warning was enough for several 

of them to exitthe chambers. 

Chiefexecutive Jeff Millward 

reminded councillors the sustainable 

development goals were ‘‘a set of 

aspirational statements’’ which were 

firstincluded in the 2021/31 Long 

Term Planwith no objections. 

The statementswere simply linked 

to the council’s goals and could easily 

be removed without impactingthe 

annual plan,hesaid. 

Some submitters had claimed the 

councilnever consultedonthe Agenda 

2030 statements and questioned why 

the council was ‘‘adopting, 

implementing and promoting foreign 

policy of unelected and 

unaccountable bodies’’ like the 

United Nations. 

They claimed Agenda 2030was being 

used to take over assets likeThree 

Waters and ‘‘to control our lives’’. 

International media organisation 

Reutershas several Fact Checksonits 

websiterelated to Agenda 2030 

conspiracies on socialmedia. 

Responding to social media claims 

earlierthis year, Reuters said Agenda 

2030 ‘‘lays out goals and targets for 

helpingcountries to achieve 

sustainable development,but 

contains no ‘laws’ of any kind’’. 

Thecouncil will revisit the 

inclusion of the goalsaspart of next 

year’s 2024/34 Long Term Plan. 

Themajority of councillors 

supported the inclusion of the goals, 

including Cr Tim Fulton,who said 

‘‘valuestatements’’ wereimportant. 

ButCrPaul Williams said he did not 

recall thembeing discussed in 2021. 

Cr Philip Redmond moved amotion 

to remove references to the goals,but 

he receivednosupport. 

Mr Gordon said he recalled the goals 

beingdiscussed two years ago and 

notedthere was no issue at the time. 

‘‘I do appreciate there are views 

beingexpressed and people are 

welcome to that.’’ 

He saidhewas satisfied with the 

annual plan,giventhe pressures of a 

high inflation environment. 

‘‘We are agrowth district and we 

have got to investinour infrastructure 

and we are doing that.’’ 

Cr Williams voted against adopting 

the annual planashebelievedthere 

were some ‘‘efficiencies’’ which had 

not beenconsidered. 

He cited savingsinthe greenspace 

budget and he said the council’s 

procurement policy was ‘‘too hard’’for 

several local businesses to work with. 

But Cr Robbie Brine said savings in 

the greenspace budget werepartly 

due to staff changes, which was 

‘‘incredibly hard to predict’’. 

He saidthe council had recently 

reviewed its procurement policy and 

he was satisfiedwith it. 

The council signalled a5.97% 

average rates rise in its draft annual 

plan earlier this year. But it was 

raised to 6.24% to find an extra 

$220,000 to keep up with the council’s 

roading maintenance budget.

The long established Rangiora law firm 

of BrandtsGiesen McCormick Lawyers 

will soon pass into history. 

With the recent retirement of Judge 

John BrandtsGiesen, two of the 

partners Andrew McCormick and Anna 

Lloyd will shortly move to new offices in 

Christchurch, and the firm will cease to 

exist. 

This will allow them to pursue new 

directions as they follow their passions 

for criminal law and family law. 

Andrew will rent space at the 

companies existing Hereford Street 

offices to continue his criminal law 

practice, while Anna will move to 

Atticus Chambers to be part of awider 

group of family and child lawyers based 

there. 

‘‘It will be abold move,” says Anna, “as 

now both Andrew and Ican now focus on 

the parts of the law we are both 

passionate about.’’ 

Andrews says the firms existing 

clients need not worry as other partners 

Roger Brown and Sharon Ward, will still 

be onsite to handle their established 

client base. 

‘‘Roger and Sharon will be staying 

here as part of the of the Christchurch 

and North Canterburybased legal firm 

Your Legal, created by Anthony 

Corcoran.’’ 

‘‘They will continue to service our 

valued client base with deeds, wills, 

estate, agribusiness and conveyancing, 

and this will help to maintain the 

amazing connections we have all had 

with North Canterbury,’’ says Andrew. 

He says the rest of the 12 strong staff 

have already found similar employment 

in the district. 

Andrew has spent 25 years with the 

practice, working not only as asolicitor 

but also establishing himself as both a 

sought after criminal Barrister and a 

recognised sports lawyer. 

The former St Bedes pupil says his 

passion for sports has allowed him to 

help many national and regional sports 

bodies with legal consultancy. 

‘‘When Ijoined BGM in 1998 Ialso 

played rugby for Rangiora. It was agreat 

way to meet and connect with the people 

of this amazing community.’’ 

This association with sport offered 

Moving to the city ... To be closer to their places of work, two of the partners at the 

Rangiora law firm of BrandtsGiesen McCormick Lawyers, Andrew McCormick (left) and 

Anna Lloyd will be pursuing their passion for different elements of the law in Christchurch. 

him the chance him to represent a 

number of schools, clubs and sports 

codes as they increasingly dealt with 

integrity issues, judicial hearings and 

the professional management of top 

level players, especially those who 

misbehaved. 

He says working with organisations 

like NZ Gymnastics who are very 

progressive in their understanding of 

player and coaches integrity, and others 

such as Canterbury Rugby and Rugby 

League, continues to be awonderful 

experience. 

But his passion is criminal law and he 

says it makes sense that he moves to be 

closer to the courts. 

‘‘Both Anna and Ilive in the city, our 

families are there, we work in the city 

and the courts we operate in everyday 

are there, so it make good sense to be 

PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

based closer to them.” 

Anna joined the firm in 2009 as a 

graduate and worked her way up to 

partner based on astrong passion for 

family law. 

‘‘I represent the children who need 

taking care of and the family’s who need 

help. 

‘‘This will be an opportunity to focus 

on what Ineed to do to continue to help 

them the best way Ican ,” she says. 

Andrew says they started planning for 

the closure of BGM over 12 months ago. 

‘‘With the continued support of the 

team at Your Legal, who are already 

well known in North Canterbury. Roger 

and Sharon will continue to offer great 

service to our clients here. 

‘‘But we will miss the many amazing 

people we have met and worked with 

here in Rangiora,’’ he says.

Athletes shine on global stage 

North Canterbury’s three athletes 

competing at the Special Olympics 

World Summer Games in Berlinare 

coming home with medalsand 

memories for alifetime. 

Bocce player Blair Smith and 

swimmerHaven Drinnan, both from 

Rangiora, along with equestrian rider 

Samantha Shepherd, from Swannanoa, 

last week all competed in the largest 

inclusive sports eventsinthe world, 

with 7000 athletes with an intellectual 

disability from190 countries competing 

in 26 sports. 

All three athletes performed at an 

outstandinglevel despite avariety of 

challenges. 

Smith has the most to show for his 

effortsinGermany,with asilvermedal 

in the doubles and abronze in the 

singlescompetition. 

Iamreally proud of getting my 

medals, says the Rangiora man who 

played in the doubles finalalongside 

singleschampionAaronCampbell. 

The goldmedal match had multiple 

twistsand turns before the opponents 

from Costa Rica pipped the Kiwis, 109, 

in the last minutes of the match. 

It was an amazingmatch, says 

Campbell from Levin. 

‘‘We playedahell of agame and I am 

really proudofBlair and myself.’’ 

Earlier in the tournament, the 

31yearoldalso claimedabronzeinthe 

singles after beatingAlexandr 

Chernyavskiyfrom Kazakstan 

comprehensively in the bronze final. 

That result was particularlypleasing 

for Smithbecause the Kazakhplayer 

had earlierbeaten him in pool play, so 

the NorthCanterbury player just snuck 

into the bronze medal match on apoints 

differential. 

In the poolHaven Drinnan took home 

abronze afterher 4x25mfreestyle relay 

team finished thirdinanincredibly 

exciting final. 

In that relay, New Zealand coach 

Carla L’Huillier optedtoput fellow 

Canterbrian Bella Lammers as the first 

swimmer, while most nationsopted for 

their strongest swimmers, so Drinnan 

was part of awonderful catchup race to 

claim bronze behindSlovenia and 

Belgium.

The 19yearoldswimmer said she 

was totally focused on her race and had 

not even takennoticeofher 

competition. 

Did we win amedal? an elated 

Drinnan grinned after claiming bronze 

alongsideMatthewSmith(Te Awamutu) 

and Jesse Williams (Manawatu). 

Drinnan also finished fifth in both the 

50m freestyle and 50m backstroke, but 

according to coach L’Huillier the 

results did not reflecthow well all four 

Kiwis had competed. 

The Rangiora swimmer brokeher 

own personal bests severaltimes, and 

as aresult found herself up against the 

strongest competition, but was in the 

runningfor amedal in each event. 

Equestrian rider Samantha Shepherd 

had challenging competition, 

competing on ahorse she had onlyfirst 

seen the day before the competition. 

The 18yearoldwas the youngest 

memberofthe New Zealanddelegation 

but showed maturity and stamina well 

beyondher years. 

In the dressage, her new mount Cillly 

provedareal handfuland Shepherd did 

not manage to demonstrateall her 

skills, but in the Equitation 

competition, she finished fourth and 

came agonisingly closetoamedal. 

Ithink Idid fantasticallywell, 

beamedShepherd from ear to ear. 

Head Coach Kara Lockhart said she 

was extremely proud of Shepherd,who 

finished 7th in the final workingtrail 

event. 

‘‘We have all learned so much since 

we got to Germany and worked so well 

as ateam, so I could nothave askedfor 

abetterteam.’’ 

NC Hunting Competition attracts hundreds 

MattBailey is overwhelmed at the 

supportheand hisorganisingcommittee

‘‘The feedback, thecrowd—itwas such

Hurunui house prices bucking the trend 

House values in the Hurunui District 

are bucking the nationwide trend of 

falling values. 

Kerry Walsh, Hurunui District 

Council’sbuilding and property 

manager, saysthe house and land 

markets are moving fast. 

‘‘Land is being snapped up quickly, 

especially in subdivisionswhich are 

popping up in Amberley and Hanmer 

Springs.’’ 

Since2021, the average house build 

costwithoutlandhas increased 

more than $40,000. 

Mr Walsh saysthisreflects 

nationwide increases in material and 

labourcosts. 

The average house size has reduced, 

from 195m2 in 2018,to180m2 

nowadays. 

CoreLogic released data recently, 

identifyinga12month increase of 7.6 

percent in house/land packageprices 

in Hurunui,second only to Bullerand 

bucking the average New Zealandwidedrop 

in house values. 

Mr Walsh says thenew houses in 

Hurunui are worth more to sell than 

the traditional older houses, which 

usedtomake upmostofthe market. 

‘‘Italso creates the bigger picture 

that peopleare willing invest here, 

across awide age group too which 

we’ve noticed.’’ 

Building consent applications have 

been rising steadily since 2018which 

saw121 consents. 

Last year it rose to 196consents, and 

by the end of Maythisyear, 84 have 

already beenprocessed. 

‘‘Having more than five housing 

companies nowbuilding in the district 

reflects this,compared to fiveyears 

agowhenthere were onlyacouple of 

companies.’’ 

MrWalsh identifiedthree building 

spikes in Hurunui—18 months after 

theChristchurch earthquake in 2011; 

after the Waiau Kaikoura earthquake 

in 2016,and during the Covid19 

pandemic when the borders were 

closed. 

Thenumber of Land Information 

Memorandum (LIM) reports being 

processedare at arecord high. 

Last month (May) 60 LIMreports 

were processed,compared to the 

average monthly number processed of 

between 33 and 47. 

LIM reports are carried out on a 

house andproperty before it is sold. 

‘‘People are movingtoHurunuifor 

the lifestyle,and the many great 

recreational spots it offers.’’ 

Lion King afine tuned musical production 

The lion roared at the Rangiora Town 

Hall, as Loburn School’s 163 students 

presented the Lion King to audiences at 

two evening performances and a 

matinee. 

Teacher, Katie Steele, conceived the 

production six months ago, with 

auditions taking place in March. 

The school then dedicated term 2 to 

preparing for the mammoth 

undertaking. 

Kylie Young, aparent, was the 

choreographer for the show which 

included many moving sequences. 

The show was very much acommunity 

event, says Principal Stuart Priddy. 

He says mums, dads, grandparents 

and friends of the school all helped with 

costumes and props, and many turned 

out to the production. 

‘‘We invited residents of local rest 

homes to our matinee show on 

Wednesday, about 40 attended. They 

had the time of their lives.’’

Thrive in Your 70s! Judy Bailey Explains... 

KORU NUTRITION 

Grandmother and former 

TV Icon, Judy Bailey, is 

embarking on a journey to 

help reshape our perceptions 

around healthy aging. 

Now entering her 70s and 

being called “Dear” one too 

many times, Judy has teamed 

up with New Zealand natural 

health and nutrition company 

– Koru Nutrition, to talk to 

experts, start conversations, 

and explore the latest research 

that ismaking adifference in 

the field of aging. 

“Once you pass 65, people 

tend to think it’s a downhill 

slide to the Zimmer frame. But 

that’s far from the truth; we 

all age differently. Many of us 

remain physically active well 

into our 70s,” Judy shares. 

“Being proactive is key to 

our health and aging.” 

Here are three pillars to 

healthy aging that will help 

you to be optimistic and proud 

of getting older: 

Diet: 

Afocus ondiet isimportant 

to our overall health and wellbeing. 

Keeping hydrated, 

eating nutrient-dense foods, 

and avoiding bad fats to 

prioritise healthy fats lead 

to giving our bodies the best 

chance to be healthier overall. 

Exercise: 

If you have seen some clips 

of my interview with Dr. 

Daniel O’Brien online, you 

will know that staying active 

is likemedicinefor our bodies. 

Walking my dog is now the 

minimum, and I have been 

challenging myself to try new 

things, like stand-up paddle 

boarding. 

Support: 

I’ve tried numerous creams 

and supplements, but I have 

to say, Koru FX Pro has been 

revolutionary for me. When I 

first used it, I was surprised 

at how fast-acting it was! 

Also, that Ididn’t smell like 

a rugby dressing room after 

and the long-lasting support 

it provided me; Ididn’t even 

need toapply it again that day! 

“It is made with natural 

ingredients (which was a 

must-have for me to buy it, 

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition, Christchurch. 

let alone endorse! If you’re 

looking for adeep-absorbing, 

fast-acting, and long-lasting 

natural product,harnessing the 

benefits of natural oils, then 

Koru FX Pro is for you.” 

Remember, itonly takes a 

few minutes to look at your 

currentdiet andmakechanges,

little exercise to your day,

Customary land 



Local Māori will soon be able to 

return to live on their customary 

land. 

Waimakariri District Council 

chief executive Jeff Millward says 

the proposed Waimakariri District 

Plan, which was notified in 

September 2021, includes special 

purpose zoning for Māori Reserve 

873, between Kaiapoi and 

Rangiora. 

This included allowing for up to 

seven houses on afour hectare 

section. 

These have been incorporated 

into the draft Greater 

Christchurch Spatial Plan, which 

has recognised the need for 

infrastructure investment for 

kāinga nohoanga (places of 

residence) across the Greater 

Christchurch area. 

‘‘Historically they have been 

prevented from living on their own 

land and growing crops for 

mahinga kai,’’ Mr Millward said. 

The National Policy Statement 

on Urban Development stated that 

wellfunctioning urban 

environments needed to have a 

variety of homes, and this included 

enabling Māori to express their 

cultural traditions and norms. 

Māori Reserve 873, which 

included the kāinga (village) of 

Tuahiwi and the surrounding rural 

area, was set aside by the Crown in 

1848 as a kāinga nohoanga. 

The 1868 Native Land Court 

defined NgāiTahu mahinga kai 

and whānau rights. 

But subsequent territorial 

authorities, including the 

Waimakariri District Council, 

which was established in 1989, had 

overlooked the history and 

introduced rural zoning rules and 

applied them to Māori Reserve 

873. 

Most recently, around 2005, the 

Waimakariri District Council 

changed the rural zoning for the 

reserve to 10 acres without 

consulting with the rūnanga. 

This was unworkable as 

properties were already much 

smaller and had multiple houses 

on them. 

The land grievances were due in 

part to different cultural 

understandings and the 

complexity of Māori ownership. 

Māori practised Kaitiakitanga 

(stewardship) where resources 

including land were looked after 

by the hapū for the next 

generation. 

The consequence has seen 

Māori lose the ability to use the 

land for mahinga kai and whānau 

have been unable to live on the 

land. 

Comment was sought from Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri.

OPINION 


Around the electorate with 

STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA 

Valuing freedom 

Thefundamentalhuman right of freedom 

of speech is beingthreatenedinNew 

Zealand, and if we fail to resist, werisk 

losingitentirely. 

Therecent shutdownofPosie Parker's 

'Let Women Speak' tour by protestors 

clearly illustrates thisdanger. 

Another instance is Julian Batchelor's 

nationwide tourpromoting hisbooklet 

'Stop CoGovernance,' where hispublic 

meetinginDunedin was forcefully 

disrupted by protesters who disagreed 

with his perspectives. 

Averitablemedia stormsurrounded 

Mrs Parker’spublicmeeting, adiminutive 

middleaged womanwho advocatesfor 

women’s rights,being assaulted by 

protesters while thepolicestood by 

wringingtheir hands—one of our 

country's mostshameful momentswhere a 

vulnerable woman was left with afew 

brave members of thepublic todefend 

themselves from thugs. 

MrBatchelor'smeetings havealso 

encountered determined protesters 

aiming to disrupt them. 

Surprisingly, these incidentsreceived 

little attention from the mainstream 

media,who have barelycoveredthem. 

When theydo, thefocus isprimarily on 

theprotesters andtheirperspectives, 

withminimalcoveragegiven to Mr 

Batchelor and hissupporters. 

Goneare the days whenthe media 

impartially presented thenews, 

consideringdiverse viewpointsand 

upholding theprinciples of freedom of 

association andfreespeech. It appears 

thatour media outlets havefailed to 

recognise the threat topress freedom in 

thissituation. 

Ourformer PrimeMinister’s 

‘Christchurch Call’ project which seeks to 

control extremistonline contentatfirst 

glance is anoble cause. 

However,inpractice it is justanother 

mechanismfor controlling speech, 

cleverlyusing the dreadful mosque 

shootingsasjustification for afurther loss 

ofourfreedom. 

There is no doubt that Jacinda Ardern’s 

experience will havetaught herthat the 

success of socialist regimestotally 

depends on controlling speech. 

ButthisisNewZealand and we value 

our freedoms. 

Whateveryour viewsare onPosie 

ParkerorJulian Batchelor, they canand 

must be able to expressthemfreely. 

Free speech is the bedrock of our 

democracy and we must protectit. 

Those who seek to silence dissenting 

views clearlyhavelittle faithinthe 

strengthoftheir argument–ortheir own 

agenda. 

Ourfrontlinepolice do afantasticjob 

protecting the public butlet themselves 

andMrs Parkerdownbadly. 

Mr Batcheloralsoclaims thatthe police 

haveputtheinterests of those whoseek to 

silence himahead of hisright to free 

speech. 

We go downavery dangerous roadifwe 

allow ourpolicetobecome politicised. 

New Zealandersare fairminded 

peoplewho tend notto make afuss: we 

don’t openly oppose things that we 

disagree withbecausewedesperately do 

not want to be disagreeable. 

Butthisquirk ofournational persona 

makesusvulnerable to theevercreeping 

lossofour freedoms. 

Rehoming fundraiser

othervolunteers, including 

Amanda’s son Enzoand their

‘‘Everyone is welcome to attend,’’ 

Amandasays. 

It is the first quizeventGAP has 

held as fundraiser. 

The familyfriendly event will 

start at 2pm and finishat4pm. 

Funds raisedduringthe event will 

go towards all the ongoing costs of 

rehoming greyhounds which have

people willing to adopt dogs at the 

moment. 

Local Govt funding 

needs addressing 



North Canterbury’s three Mayorssay 

funding remains their primary 

concern, following therelease of the 

Future forLocal Government report. 

The Waimakariri, Hurunuiand 

Kaikōura Mayorsissued ajoint 

statement in response to thereport, 

whichwas released on lastTuesday, 

June20. 

Theysaid there were plenty of 

positives in thereport,but little 

could be achieved without 

addressingthe funding model. 

Meanwhile,TeRūnanga oNgāi 

Tahu deputyKaiwhakahaere 

(chairperson) MatapuraEllison 

welcomedrecommendations 

designed to improverelationships 

withiwi and hapū. 

The panel’s 800 page report, He 

piki tūranga,hepiki kōtuku,made 17 

recommendations including 

embeddinglocal government’s 

purposeinlegislation, local 

government sectorledrenewal, 

improving funding andanew 

government department to support 

therelationshipbetweencentraland 

localgovernment. 

It hasalsorecommended afouryear 

term, adoptingthe STV (singletransferrablevote) 

voteranking 

system,lowering the voting age to 16, 

andmaking it easier for Māori wards 

andenablingmanawhenua 

appointments (suchasEnvironment 

Canterbury’s NgāiTahu appointed 

councillors). 

Changes to theLocalGovernment 

Acttorecognise localgovernment as 

apartnertoTeTiriti oWaitangi were 

also recommended. 

‘‘Councils are doing innovative and 

impactful work in their communities, 

butare hampered by alack of 

funding anddaytoday pressures,’’ 

panelchairperson Jim Palmersaid. 

TheMayors saidtheypreferred to 

build on theexistingpositive 

partnershipsbetweentheircouncils 

andcommunities, andthroughout 

widerthe Canterbury region,rather 

than amalgamation. 

‘‘Generally speaking, we’re 

supportiveofthe councilled, 

localismfirstapproachitseems to be 

recommending,’’Waimakariri Mayor 

DanGordon said. 

‘‘Thereport showspromise in 

terms of its focus on 

intergenerationalwellbeing, 

relationships with iwi and hapu, a 

larger focusonlocalism,and 

possiblesectorledreorganisation.’’ 

HurunuiMayorMarie Black said a 

keyfocus needed to be ensuringlocal 

voices had areal sayintheir 

communities. 

‘‘Thefocus on placedbased 

approaches to tackling the big 

problemslikeclimatechange is oneI 

stronglyagree with. 

‘‘Councilsare in the best place to 

solvetheseissues in partnership 

with theircommunities andany 

potential reorganisation would need 

to be council andcommunity led if 

theseprickly issues aretobe 

solved.’’ 

KaikōuraMayor Craig Macklesaid 

work neededtobedone on improving 

therelationshipbetween local and 

central government. 

‘‘Foralong time, councils have had 

additionalunfunded mandates 

forced on us through central 

legislation withoutfundingand it has 

putthe sector into atight spot.’’ 

Mr Ellison said defining local 

governmentasaTiriti partner would 

‘‘enhance decisionmaking’’and 

bolster relations withcouncils, and 

he looked forwardtoseeing more 

Māori representation around council 

tables. 

‘‘Waitaha(Canterbury)Papatipu 

Rūnanga say having NgāiTahu 

regionalcouncillors means quicker, 

less contentious, andmore 

streamlined processes, which 

benefit everyone.’’ 

ButMrEllison saidhewas 

disappointed the reportwas

Red-zoned land transformed 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

The transformation of 3.2 hectares of 

Kaiapoi’s redzoned land into the Honda 

Forest, has been completed with the 

final community planting day. 

The new forest, which is situated on 

Charles Street, surrounding the 

wetlands of the Beswick Stormwater 

Management area, has now become an 

integral part of the Kaiapoi community. 

It is the result of acollaboration

between the Waimakariri District 

Council, the Honda Motor Company and 

community volunteers. 

Four hundred native seedlings and 25 

totara trees were planted last Saturday 

morning by alarge group of volunteers 

who joined members of the Waimakariri 

District Council, its Greenspace team 

and Honda Motor Company 

representatives. 

The forest began life on May 25, 2019, 

with acommunity planting day attended 

by then Waimakariri Mayor David Ayers, 

the managing director of Honda NZ, 

Nobuya Sonoda and alarge crowd of 

volunteers who helped with the 

planting. 

It was not part of the council’s initial 

postearthquake regeneration plan, says 

the forest’s designer, Oxford landscape 

architect Kevin Dwyer who worked for 

the council at that time as amember of 

its Greenspace team. 

The council initially asked Honda for 

$20,000 from its Honda TreeFund to 

help supply trees for the regeneration of 

redzoned land in the Kaiapoi East Area. 

However, Mr Sonoda wanted to do 

more and decided to support the 

Kaiapoi Regeneration Project from 2019 

to 2022, by committing to apartnership 

with the Waimakariri District Council to 

establish the Honda Forest. 

So far the company has invested 

$165,000 in the forest but is expecting to 

eventually spend $210,000 from the 

Honda TreeFund on the project. 

‘‘We have managed to plant over 

10,000 of the 15,400 planned seedlings, 

and we are hoping to meet that target 

this year,’’ says Honda New Zealand’s 

customer experience manager, Rohit 

D’Cunha. 

‘‘We have been monitoring the 

progress of the Honda Forest and are 

very proud of the community asset that 

has been created for the locals of 

Kaiapoi.’’ 

The extra funding Honda provided, 

far and above what had been asked for 

was, pretty exciting,’' Kevin says. 

‘‘Their generosity was amazing.’’ 

Being able to establish anew forest 

created awhole amenity feature for the 

regeneration project. 

‘‘It really changed everything because 

in the initial plan there was no forest as 

such at all, just afew trees, but now the 

forest is agreat community asset,’’ he 

said. 

The Honda TreeFund was established 

in 2004 and since then it has funded 

750,000 trees to be planted throughout 

New Zealand. 

It is aNew Zealand initiative inspired 

by the Blue Skies for our Children 

philosophy of the company’s founder 

Soichiro Honda. 

‘‘This initiative aims at reducing 

carbon emissions by putting back oxygen 

into our atmosphere and restoring our 

natural ecosystems. 

‘‘It will restore and enhance our 

native biodiversity across multiple 

locations in Aotearoa including the 

Kaiapoi Honda Forest,’’ Rohit says.

Meet three Corcoran French 

Kaiapoi Art Expo Artists 

Twoartists who have been 

exhibiting with the Corcoran 

French Kaiapoi Art Expo in 

recent years are Moya Deacon 

Radley and John Brotheridge. 

John is looking forward to 

atimewhen there are more 

outlets for emerging artists 

in the district butuntil then 

he is very happy to take the 

opportunity the event offers to 

showcase his work. 

“The Kaiapoi Art Expo, I 

feel, gives emerging artists 

the freedom to showcase their 

work, that other groups don’t 

and is amust visit date in 

the calendar.Itisafter all the 

premier art exhibition in the 

Waimakariri district,” he says. 

In thenot too distant future 

he would like to see afree to 

display and sell Waimakariri 

ArtWebsite,not justfor those 

established artists but for 

everyone out there. 

Aretired architectural 

designer,John hasbeen 

drawing and painting allhis 

life. 

“I was encouraged by 

my parents, schools and 

particularly in the UK as part 

of my architectural training 

before CAD (Computer aided 

design) became the norm.” 

With thechanges in 

technology he feels sad that 

some things have been lost. 

“Freehand drawing was 

encouraged and formally 

taught as adiscipline to 

understand scale, proportion, 

light and dark in the design 

process. 

“I feel that has been overtaken 

in recent years by computer 

generated imagery,” he says. 

“Ialsofound freehand work 

was agreat way to relax and 

get my thoughts and ideas 

downonpaper, simply and 

quickly. 

“As adesign tool, it has 

served me well and I am 

inspired by colour, light and 

shade,shadow-casting, and 

reflections.” 

He thinks students of all ages 

should start with penciland 

paper despite the fabulous 

design software available 

now,ashebelieves that this 

is where the basics of design 

begin. 

Johnsays, ”I feel schools 

should encourage children 

to drawand paint more, 

understand light and dark, 

size and scale before they 

experiment with graphic 

technologies which have 

opened up awhole new 

drawing perspective but 

Hidden 2, pencil by John Brotheridge. 

“Gnomeo’sPlanting”, Oil, by Moya Deacon 

somehow, lost the personal 

touch.” 

One of his entry pieces this 

year is apencil portrait, titled 

Hidden 2, that John thinks 

is typical of his work and 

he hopes viewing it will 

encourage all ages to pick up 

apencil and just draw. 

Moya has been practicing her 

art for about five years. 

Like John, it is the pencil that 

has held her attention. 

She started with artist pencils, 

learning the technicalities of 

the medium, which she now 

teaches her students. 

Having moved on to oils 

Moya has discovered the joy 

in still life painting, but also 

often heads out with her small 

painting group on plein air 

excursions, painting in the 

outdoors. 

Moya has not had any formal 

art education but is currently 

aprotege of multi-award 

winning American artist, 

Stefan Baumann. She will be 

joining Stefan in Las Vegas in 

October to attend an annual 

in person three-day workshop 

with him. 

Through Stefan’s guidance, 

her work has moved from 

strength to strength, as she 

masters painting in oils and 

discovering the principles 

of capturing light in her 

paintings. 

“I am inspired bythe natural 

world and flowers from my 

garden often feature in my 

paintings,” she says. 

Through her work with 

Stefan, Moya has discovered 

the joy in describing everyday 

objects using light. She, like 

John, would also like more 

opportunities to exhibit her 

work but is very pleased that 

Corcoran French Kaiapoi 

Art Expo is an annual event 

that draws huge crowds and a 

large number of artists. 

Sarah Beal is well known in 

North Canterbury, amember 

of the Rangiora Art Group 

and Arts Canterbury she has 

been exhibiting for years with 

the Corcoran French Kaiapoi 

Art Expo. In recent years her 

‘When the Weather runs Deep’ by Sarah Beal. 

work has taken on amore 

abstract approach. 

“I’ve been painting for 17 

years, though only recently 

focussing on abstract land and 

seascapes for about the last 

four years,” she says. 

“It is now my favourite way 

to create art.” 

Sarah often uses vivid colours 

to create dramatic landscapes 

that have been well received 

by the public. 

She is completely selftaught 

and her paintings 

come entirely from her own 

imagination. She always 

paints in oils and often works 

on several at the same time to 

allow for drying time while 

working on another. 

“Ilove stormy skies and 

creating areal feeling of 

atmosphere, and that seems to 

be what my public like too,” 

she says. 

These three artists are just 

asmall sample of what the 

public can expect from this 

year’s event.

LEGO building fundraiser 


It will be bricks galore when the 

Kaiapoi Gray Raven Scout Group 

joins with the three other scout 

groups in North Canterbury Zone 

to host aLEGO brick building 

community fundraiser on 

Wednesday, July 5. 

Over 120,000 toy bricks will be 

available for the young and the 

young at heart, to create 

everything from Duplo to 

Technic, forests to space 

vehicles, cars, 4x4s, buildings or 

mosiacs. 

Rachel de Vries of House of 

Bricks will be bringing her 

talents as aLEGO master 

contestant to help spur the 

creativity in people with two 

hours of fun at the Rangiora 

Borough School Hall from 10am 

to noon. 

Tickets cost $5.50 and funds 

raised will help to get 36 scouts 

and 10 leaders to the New 

Zealand Scout Jamboree being 

held in Hamilton over the coming 

New Year period. 

Scouts from the Kaiapoi, 

Rangiora, Waimakariri and 

Glenmark groups will be 

travelling to Mystrey Creek after 

Christmas. 

They will join 3500 other scouts 

for an action packed week long 

international scout jamboree. 

William Bruce, aged 13 from 

Ashgrove School, says he is 

looking forward to the jamboree 

as he has heard there will be a 

large international contingent 

attending. 

‘‘I am expecting alot of fun 

activities and it will great to meet 

all the people coming.’’ 

Being creative ... William Bruce, aged 13 (left), Beth Wilhelm, 12, and Liam 

Visker, 13, practice building LEGO creations for the Scout Jamboree 

fundraiser Brick Building Community Event. 

Beth Wilhelm aged 12 of 

Rangiora, says she will be 

looking forward to the boating 

and water activities. 

‘‘These are different things to 

what we do here, so it should be 

alot of fun.’’ 

Liam Visker aged 13 of Kaiapoi 

High School, says he wants to 

learn lots of new things when he 

goes to the Jamboree. 

To get the scouts, their leaders, 

all their tents and equipment 

including their vehicle’s and 

towed field kitchen to Hamilton, 

the groups have to raise over 

$3000 per scout. 

There are airfares, freight 

costs, jamboree registration and 

attendance fees and food costs to 

be covered for the group to allow 

them to attend the Jamboree 

which alternates between the 

North and South Islands every 

three years. Rangiora has hosted 

one in the past but this will be the 

first time any of these scouts have 

attended one. 



150th Jubilee 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Kaiapoi Borough School’s 

150th birthday celebration 

will be achance to 

showcase the modern 

school. 

The school will celebrate 

the milestone from 

November 24 to 25. 

It has its beginnings back 

in 1873, celebrating its 100 

years in 1973, and now it is 

150th jubilee. 

Principal Hayden van 

Lent says the school has 

changed alot over the 

years, particularly in 

modern times since the 

20102011 earthquakes, and 

will look alot different to 

the many former pupils 

expected to turn out to 

celebrate the milestone. 

Abig welcome is being 

planned on Friday 

afternoon, November 24, 

with the school’s kapa haka 

group set to add acultural 

element to the 

celebrations. 

There will be an open 

afternoon, with senior 

student leaders showing 

people around the school, a 

tree planting and the 

unveiling of aplaque to 

commemorate the 150 year 

milestone of one of the 

oldest schools in Kaiapoi. 

Adinner is planned at the 

Kaiapoi Club in the 

evening, with John 

Warburton, aformer 

principal, the Master of 

9 

Ceremonies. Mr Warburton 

taught at the school from 

1974 to 1983, and was 

principal from 1989 to 2005. 

On Saturday there will be 

an opportunity to reflect, 

connect with others and 

look at photos from 

yesteryear. 

There will also be photos 

taken by decade, and the 

Parent Teachers 

Association will put on a 

lunch, where acake will be 

cut. 

‘‘We will be drawing 

people together through 

kai and we will have atime 

capsule where people can 

put their thoughts down,’’ 

says Mr van Lent.’’ 

It will then be buried to 

be opened in years to come. 

Mr van Lent says the 150 

year celebration comes as 

the school grows. Two new 

classrooms will be on site 

in September, just afew 

months prior to the formal 

jubilee. 

The roll is 371, and is 

expected to reach over 400 

before the year ends, as the 

fast growing Silverstream 

continues to be one of its 

main feeders. On to top of 

this around 200 use the 

Tech centre on site, with 11 

clients school 

Tickets for the 

celebration are expected to 

go live from Monday, July 

24, at humanitix.com,

Raring to go ... Sled dog teams head out into the Hanmer Forest during last years Hanmer 

Challenge sled dog race.

Sled dog races in HS 


Two daysofintensive sled dogracing will 

be held in theHanmer Springs areaover 

the weekendofJuly 15 and 16. 

Run by theSouthIsland Siberian Husky 

Club, the HanmerChallenge sled dog race 

has been heldannuallyfor nearly 30 years 

using trails in the Hanmer Forest. 

The racestyle is classified as “dryland” 

racing, which means themushersride 

aboard wheeled rigs,scooters, and bikes, 

or run, ratherthan drivingactual sleds on 

snow. 

Rig teams typically range from two to 

six dogs, scooter teams haveone or two 

dogs, bikejor andcanicross (bikingand 

running) have onedog. 

Competitorscome from alloverNew 

Zealandand thisyear organisers are 

anticipatingabout40mushers attending, 

for atotalof150 race entriesacross the 

various classes. 

North Canterbury sledder/musher, 

Julian Looserand hiswifeStacey live in 

Oxford andtheyhave 12 dogs, 11 of which 

arerace dogs, and 1isretired. 

Both will be competing in thefour dog 

rigclass. 

Julian saystheir twoyearold daughter 

Charlotte will also be racing in the 

peeweerace—whereshe rides therig 

with Staceyguiding it,with onedog 

pulling. 

Theracestake placedeep in the forest 

in the early hours of the morning to 

ensurelow temperatures. 

Julian saysthisusuallyisn’t ideal for 

spectators, so several years ago organisers 

started a“Meetand greet”afternoon 

sessionwhere thepublic can comealong 

andmeetthe mushersand dogs, seeall 

theequipment, andlearnaboutsled dog 

sports. 

This yearthe meetand greet session 

will be heldfrom2pm to 4pmonSaturday 

July 15, at the HanmerSprings Forest 

Camp. 

Feral cat problem at school 



ARangioraschool plans to tackleaferal 

cat problem over the school holidays. 

Rangiora New LifeSchool is calling in 

the professionals to trapsome cats, which 

have been living underclassrooms, 

scavenging rubbishbins and children’s 

lunchboxes,setting off alarms,and posing 

athreat to localbirdlife. 

‘‘We havetwo or threeferal catsthat we 

are concerned about and we want to make 

sure that they are OK,’’ principalStephen 

Walters said. 

‘‘I’macat lovermyself and the last thing 

Iwanttosee is cats which are unwell, not 

getting enough to eatand freezing overthe 

winter.’’ 

He said the trapping company had the 

ability to scan the cats,with the 

microchippedcats to be released or 

returned to their homes. 

Cats without chips would be passed on to 

acat shelter to be checked and rehomed. 

‘‘I can assureeveryone they will all be 

treated humanely,’’MrWalterssaid.‘‘This 

is not agood place for them to be and we 

want to make sure they can find ahome 

and be looked after.’’ The threat to birdlife 

had been particularly concerning, he says. 

‘‘We’ve already had aclutch of ducklings 

killed by thecats andthat was quite 

distressing for the children.

Council to consider Māori representation 



Councillors will consider how best to 

recognise ‘‘the history and mana’’ of 

local Māori, says Waimakariri District 

Council chief executive Jeff Millward. 

The question of Māori representation 

will be considered alongside Te 

Rūnanga oNgāi Tūāhuriri as part of the 

council’s representation review ahead 

of the 2025 local government elections. 

‘‘We will go through the process and 

we will be consulting with Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri to see if there is an appetite 

for aseparate Māori ward,’’ Mr Millward 

said. 

‘‘We have been looking at lots of ways 

to incorporate Ngāi Tūāhuriri within 

our decisionmaking to ensure it is more 

of apartnership and acollaboration. 

‘‘It is important that it reflects the 

history and the mana that Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri has within the district.’’ 

To date the Rūnanga has chosen not to 

have a Māori ward, preferring to engage 

directly with the council on issues of 

importance to mana whenua. 

Mr Millward said the council 

regularly consulted with the Rūnanga 

and its consulting arm Mahaanui 

Kurataiao Ltd. 

‘‘It is important that they have avoice 

and we need to make sure that we 

resource that appropriately to make 

sure we are getting agood outcome.’’ 

Two NgāiTahu appointed councillors 

were now serving on Environment 

Canterbury, following the passing of 

legislation last year, while other 

councils around the country were 

grappling with the question of Māori 

representation and cogovernance. 

Te Rūnanga oNgāi Tūāhuriri was the 

local mana whenua and treaty partner 

for atakiwā (territory) covering from the 

Hurunui River to the Hakatere River. 

It traversed five territorial authorities 

including the Hurunui, Waimakariri, 

Selwyn and Ashburton District 

Councils, and the Christchurch City 

Council. 

Comment has been sought from Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri.

Council roading 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

The Waimakariri District Council’s 

roading and transport manager 

Joanne McBride says staff, and the 

road maintenance contractor, have 

worked hard to address anumber of 

issues across the unsealed road 

network. 

‘‘This has included carrying out a 

significant amount of remetalling of 

unsealed roads to address gravel loss, 

from general use as well as aresult of 

the last flood events.’’ 

Ms McBride was responding to a 

query from the North Canterbury 

News about proposed work on 

Conways and Catherwoods Roads 

where potholes were alarming a 

resident. 

She says Catherwoods Road was 

programmed for grading and 

metalling last week. 

‘‘Increasing construction costs have 

also continued to put pressure on 

maintenance budgets, and is 

impacting the quantity of work which 

can be carried out. 

As part of the Annual Plan, 

considered three options to fund the 

gap in maintenance budgets —donot 

fund gap, partially fund the gap, or to 

fully funding the gap. 

‘‘Consultation feedback received 

during the Annual Plan process 

indicated clear preference for 

partially or fully funding the gap, with 

slightly more support for fully 

funding.’’ 

During its annual plan deliberations 

the council agreed road maintenance 

was akey area of investment, and the 

‘‘risk of underinvesting’’ in this area 

would be significant for the district’s 

community. 

‘‘Hence it resolved to provide 

additional funding for road 

maintenance,’’ says Ms McBride. 

The Annual Plan was adopted last 

week.

New lifestyle village 

Anew lifestylevillage for over 50s will be 

officially opened at Ravenswood,onJune 

30. 

Freedom LifestyleVillages says it is the 

firstvillage of its kindinthe South Island, 

offering ‘‘highquality affordable homes 

and resortstyle amenities’’. 

Once completed, Freedom Ravenswood 

will feature 237 architecturally designed 

singlelevel one, two and threebedroom 

homes, and arange of and features. 

Freedom LifestyleVillages chief 

executive officer Steve SmitsMurray says 

thedifference between Freedom 

Ravenswoodand traditionalretirement 

villages is Freedom’sunique model, which 

allows residents to share in capital gains if 

they choosetosell. People can listtheir 

home on theopen marketand keep the 

proceeds excluding‘‘exitcosts’’, he says . 

Mr SmitsMurray saysthe choice to build 

the first Freedom Lifestyle Village in the 

Waimakariri District was easy, as it was 

one of New Zealand'sfastest growing 

regions. Ravenswood is central to 

Christchurch, Rangiora,Woodend and 

Kaiapoi,making it alogicalstep to make 

the newsubdivision its preferred location. 

‘‘TheRavenswooddevelopment offers a 

unique lifestyle optionfor working 

families and retirees alike. 

‘‘It has the bestofeverything, an idyllic 

ruralsetting with anew thriving 

community and agrowing retailcentre. 

‘‘Theregion is home to an impressive 

selection of attractions and experiences, 

giving our residents plenty of 

opportunities to travel and explore when 

they wish and to live their livesthe way 

they choose,’’ SmitsMurraysays. 

He says the costofdownsizing and 

buying anew home is becoming 

increasingly less affordable,for people on 

fixedretirement incomes and those who 

have not yet reached retirement. 

‘‘Freedom Ravenswoodoffersthem a 

solution, Mr SmitsMurray says. 

While having all the benefits and 

securityofacommunity,the new village at 

Ravenswood is set up for acarefree 

lifestyle for the “young” over50s. 

Mr SmitsMurray says Freedomoffers 

over50s an easyway to free up capital, so 

they can lock up and leaveand do the 

thingsthey’ve always wantedtodowithout 

worrying abouthome maintenance and 

security. 

“Thereismuch more to Freedomthan 

resortlike living, and that welcome sense 

of community. 

‘‘Traditionalretirementvillages don’t 

allow residents to growtheir investment 

like we do with our moreequitable model. 

‘‘Someresidents at our firstvillage, 

Papamoa Sands in the Bay of Plenty, have 

made significantcapital gains within three 

years after sellingonthe open market.’’ 

Paul Croft,CEO Ravenswood 

Developments Ltd saysthe company is 

thrilled to haveFreedom Lifestyle Villages 

join the growing community at 

Ravenswood, and we are looking forward 

to seeingtheir new ‘‘high qualitylifestyle 

village develop alongside the last stages of 

our subdivisionand the new town centre 

(Ravenswood Central)’’. 

‘‘We have new restaurants and cafes due 

to openshortly, whichIamsure the new 

Ravenswood Village residents will 

thoroughly enjoy when they movehere,’’ 

he says. 

All homes at Ravenswood are 

architecturallydesigned, are fully 

insulated, fitted out with the latest energyefficient 

heating and cooling systems with 

entrylevel accommodation starting at 

$345,000.When finished Freedom 

Ravenswood willofferavillage centre, 

cinema, library, gym, selfserve bar, pool 

table area, asecuremotorhome car park 

and washdown area and recreation shed 

for hobbies, crafts, and gettogethers. 

The first seven showhomes will open to 

the public on June 30 at agrandopening. 

Elder abuse 

common 

Elderabuse is not spoken of openly, 

but it is probably much more common 

than you might think. 

Mistreatment is shrouded in secrecy 

and hiddenbehindclosed doors. 

Surprisingly,the true prevalence of 

elderabuseinNew Zealand is not well 

understood. 

It’s believed as manyasone in 10 

New Zealanders will experience elder 

abuseintheir lifetime. 

Overseas studies have similar 

figures.But the true extent of the 

problem is unknown, largely due to the 

barriersthat prevent those being 

abused fromgetting help. 

Many victims of abuseare often too 

frightenedorvulnerable to speak up. 

In Australia, anational prevalence 

studydiscovered that 60%ofelder 

abusevictims do not seekhelp. When 

they do, they're more likely to turn to 

informal sources like family and 

friends. 

Office for Seniors says its message is 

that if somebodysuspects an older 

person is beingabused,itisimportant 

to seek help asthe victimsofabuse 

may not havethe strength, awareness 

or evenunderstandingtodoso 

themselves. 

The Elder AbuseResponse Service 

offers afree, confidential 24hour 

helpline, availabletoanyonewhether 

they are concerned for others, 

or for themselves. 

If you haveconcernsabout how you 

are being treatedorfeel frightened or 

at risk, help is available.

Feedback sought on pathway 



Council staff are keentoget the right 

surface underfoot for the Kaikōura Link 

Pathway. 

The Kaikōura District Council is 

trialling six surfaces for the proposed

Peninsula. 

Adisplay area has beenset up on 

Esplanade,opposite the Boutique Hotel, 

on the cornerofBrighton Street, to seek

The council has received $1.9 million 

from the TourismInfrastructure Fund to

Chiefexecutive Will Doughty says staff 

want to make sure the pathway is 

accessible to all users, including walkers, 

skateboards,scooters, prams, wheelchairs, 

and those with mobility challenges. 

Each surface is numbered, with 

participants able to scan aQRcode on 

their phone or visitthe council website to 

offer feedback. 

They includelimestone based surfaces 

(crusher dust and limestonechip), which 

would be placed overjakmat, and concrete 

surfaces with different colours (silver grey, 

latte,soapstoneand charcoal). 

The community’svoteswill be 

incorporatedinto the final design for stage 

one of the pathway, which willrun from 

West End,alongthe Esplanade to Torquay 

Street. There are plans to seek feedback 

on elementssuch as street furniture and 

publicart. Voting closes, Sunday, July 2.

Attracting young doctors 



Kaikōura is doingits bit to 

attract young doctors into rural 

communities. 

Kaikōura’sTakahanga 

Maraeishosting 13 tertiary 

health students from around 

Aotearoa New Zealand this 

week for athreedayNoho 

Maraevisit. 

The initiative was a 

partnership between Te Tai o 

Marokura,aMāori health and 

social service provider in 

Kaikōura, and Hauora 

Taiwhenua /Rural Health 

Network’s careersprogramme. 

Lisa Kahu, of Te Tai o 

Marokura,said the initiative 

was originallyproposed 

several years ago by astudent 

doctor from Kaikōura as away 

to encourageyoung doctors, 

nurses and dentists to work in 

ruralcommunities. 

‘‘Duetoher connections she 

suggested Kaikōura as a 

destinationand noneofthem 

had been here before. 

‘‘I think it is areal 

opportunity for them to see 

how it could work in arural 

setting and it is an opportunity 

for us to enticethem. 

‘‘It is also achance for health 

professionalstoconsider what 

they are taught fromatextbook 

and how it translates intothe 

daytodaylives of ordinary 

people.’’ 

The programme offered the 

students the opportunity to 

learnabout ‘‘the Kaupapa 

(principles) of Māori health’’, 

Hauora Taiwhenua chief 

executive Dr Grant Davidson 

said. 

‘‘Healthoutcomes for rural 

Māori are worse than any other 

demographic in Aotearoa New 

Zealand, so having our trainee 

health professionals immerse 

themselves in Tikanga 

(knowledge) Māori,Rongoā 

(medicine) Māori and Te Ao 

Māori (language,customs and 

protocols) is afundamental 

first step in culturalsafety 

training. 

‘‘Reflectingonwhat they 

hear and experience during 

the nohomarae experience 

will start the journey to 

understanding conscious and 

unconscious biasesand 

improvingtheirempathy for 

and work withtangata whenua 

across this country.’’ 

TessaMunday wasahealth 

student who attendedlast 

year’s Noho Marae visit to 

Kaikōura and said she enjoyed 

learningabout the rich culture 

and history of Ngāti Kurī and 

the Kaikōura area. 

‘‘I havedriven thecoastline 

several timesbefore,but now 

that Iunderstandthe history, I 

have awhole new appreciation 

of the area. 

‘‘It was amazing to hear about 

the opportunities in rural and 

Māori health. 

‘‘So often in my studies these 

topics are discussed with a 

deficit focus, but this 

experience taught me the 

importance of focusing on 

strengthssuchasthe 

connectednessofrural 

communities,the importance 

of whānau, spirituality, and 

connection to whenua.’’

North Canterbury Mayors Welcome Future 

for Local Government Report 

Waimakariri, Hurunui and Kaikōura Mayors welcome 

the Future for Local Government report but say the 

primary issue remains funding. 

“There’s alot in this report and we will need totake 

time to look into the details,” says Waimakariri Mayor 

Dan Gordon. “However generally speaking we’re 

supportive ofthe council-led, localism first approach it 

seems to be recommending.” 

“The report shows promise in terms ofits focus on 

intergenerational wellbeing, relationships with iwi 

hapu, alarger focus on localism, and possible sectorled 

reorganisation. But the main issue facing local 

government is funding because we can’t do any of the 

above without addressing the funding model.” 

The three mayors do not favour re-organisation as 

this is at odds with localism. Instead, they would 

build onthe positive partnerships that already 

exist between their councils and communities, and 

throughout wider Canterbury. 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Black says while there may be 

an initial focus on topics such as lowering the voting 

age, four-year terms, and reorganisation ofthe sector, 

the important theme was ensuring that local voices 

can have areal say in their communities. 

“While there are some headlines in the report, Ithink 

most councils would look at this and view it as positive. 

“The focus on placed-based approaches to tackling the 

big problems like climate change is one that Istrongly 

agree with. Councils are in the best place to solve these 

issues in partnership with their communities and any 

potential reorganisation would need to be council and 

community led if these prickly issues are to be solved.” 

Kaikōura Mayor Craig Mackle said alotofthe 

recommendations were common sense and he 

welcomed the focus onpartnership and in turn funding. 

“A highlight for meisthe focus on local government and 

how itinteracts with central government. Foralong 

time, councils have had additional un-funded mandates 

forced onusthrough central legislation without funding 

and it’s put the sector into atight spot. 

“Canterbury councils already have good working 

relationships. The three North Canterbury councils 

already work closely together to assist each other 

and our communities. Key to that is the collaborative 

nature ofour relationship and good communication. 

“Central government needs to look to this type 

of collaboration and partnership. Trust in local 

government is going to be crucial ifwe’re to confront 

challenges and li the wellbeing ofour communities 

across generations. There isalot of scope and 

promise in this report but until the funding side of it is 

settled it’ll remain irrelevant.” 

Have Your Say on Housing Policy 

There isstill time to let us know what you think about 

our Dra Housing Policy. Council plays apivotal role 

in providing adequate housing for all our residents. 

We’re developing aHousing Policy that will ensure 

Council can respond to acomplex and ever-changing 

housing market now and into the future. 

Our Housing Policy will serve as the guide for how 

Council, and our partners, should approach initiatives 

that enhance the quality, quantity, affordability and 

accessibility of housing across the District. 

In the dra Policy, wehave provided examples of what 

functions council could undertake as part of fulfilling 

one of four roles. We want to know ifyou think we’ve 

struck the right balance in this mix of roles and 

functions. We also want to know ifyou think we’ve 

identified the right priorities.
