Volunteers help Loburn regrow
By SHELLEY TOPP AND ROBYN BRISTOW
Asmall army of volunteers are helping
Loburn properties to rise from the ashes.
Six months after awildfire tore
through the rural settlement, the
volunteers are working side­by­side to
restore the widespread damage it
caused.
At the forefront of that army has been
Loburn local Damon Hurley, who quickly
realised many people wanted to help
those affected by the fire.
He set up aFacebook page to coordinate
the response, and the Regrow
Loburn Fire Recovery Community
Project was born.
Damon says he is just one of many
people who have helped out in any way
they could.
The fire came within 400 metres of
Damon’s home, but surrounded his
parents’ property nearby, destroying
their fence.
‘‘Being so connected with the event,
and the neighbourhood of people
affected, Isimply saw the various needs
and the outpouring of offers from the
community.
‘‘The organiser in me attempted to
make some order of it all to make it
effective,’’ he says.
‘‘Three other people were part of the
effort too.
‘‘ The biggest contributor being
Thereza Rosanowski, of Okuku, who has
put in amassive amount of time —from
the very day of the fire until now —
connecting with the community and
bringing the Loburn School into help.’’
The Waimakariri District Council’s
community team has also been involved
in the recovery project with $12,000 paid
out to the fire­affected community from
the Mayoral Relief Fund.
‘‘The council’s community team
manager Tessa Sturley has done an
amazing job co­ordinating with us, and
arranging the financial side of things and
securing funding,’’ Damon says.
Riverside Horticulture has also played a
big role in the recovery project,
supplying plants and delivering them to
the Loburn Domain for fire­affected
community members to collect.
But the list of helpers is much longer.
Damon’s initial aim was to make sure
each affected party didn’t feel like they
were facing recovery alone, by
connecting the wider caring community
with the smaller affected community.
‘‘We all love Loburn and it has been
exciting to see it bounce back so far in six
months.
‘‘It was mainly buildings, fencing and
plants that were affected.
‘‘Insurance covers acertain amount,
but the community has been able to pull
together to regrow Loburn.’’
For Royden Piebenga, whose
uninsured home was one of three
destroyed in the fire, the help he has
received has restored his faith in
humanity and made him feel proud to be
part of the Loburn community.
He particularly wants to thank Loburn
couple Innes and Kelly Bint who gave
him accommodation for three months
while aroom above his garage was
converted into anew dwelling for him by
community volunteers.
‘‘The help Ihave received has been
overwhelming,’’ he says.

Hanmer Springs 10 day Alpine Winter
Festival went better than hoped,
organisers says.
Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and
Spa marketingexecutive Flora Brons
says the annual AWF had been avery
special event.
‘‘It was great to be able to bringthe
Alpine Winter Festival back to life
again after abreak and during a
recession.’’
The streets of Hanmer were
buzzing.
‘‘Everyday the village was full of
laughter and groups of people trying
to do as many of the fun activities as
possible during theirstay in Hanmer
Springs.’’
For Flora, one of the highlights was
the queues, during and after, the Pie
eating competition on Saturday,
followed by the half priced pie sale at
PJ Pies.
‘‘People were queuing up waiting to
get their hands on all the pies.”
She says another highlight was the
Star Gazing Party held at the Hanmer
Springs Animal Park.
‘‘Over 200 people turned up for it,
which exceeded our expectations.
‘‘Last Wednesday evening we were
worried as the clouds had hung
around all day, but just prior to it
starting they cleared and we had a
wonderful night looking up at the
stars.’’
There was amix of free and
ticketed events held over the 10 days
of the festival.
‘‘Another well supported free event
was the evening pop up light displays
at the festival.
‘‘You knew you were approaching
them at night because you could hear
large numbers of children laughing as
they hopped on the light discs or ran
through the light tunnels or around
the giant blow up frogs and flowers.
‘‘There was areal mix of fun
activities on each day to keep
everyone entertained,’’ she says.
The Hanmer Springs AWF opened
on Saturday July 6and closed on
Tuesday July 16.
Organisers are already planning for
next years festival.
‘‘People have been calling us up
asking what’s on show for next year so
they can plan their holidays.
‘‘We want to make it bigger and
better,’’ Flora says.

Alan and Diana Hawkins, the owners of
Karikaas Cheese, share the same sense
of deep gratitude for all those who have
helped them, andothers during the fire
and in its aftermath.
They are looking forward to a
positive future, as green shoots rise
among the blackened native trees
outside their Loburn home and cheese
factory.
The couple says the native plantings,
made possible through the community
project and natives they have bought
themselves, representnew beginnings
for them and the community, and were
part of the ‘‘restoration after the fire’’.
Coupled with winningtwo trophies at
the NZChampions of Cheese Awards
earlier this year, Diana says Karikaas,
which is celebratingits 40th birthday
this year,isnow looking to the long
term and another 40 years of
cheesemaking in the Loburn
community.
Karikaas was fortunate to escape any
loss of buildings in the fire that swept
through plantings on the bank above
the factory, and came close to Alan and
Diana’s home alittle further along the
bank.
‘‘We are grateful for the efforts of
firefighters, and everyone since, who
pitched in, during the fire and in its
aftermath, includingmany in the
community,’’they say.
The cause of the January 19 fire has
not been established.
It was ahorrific event nobody wants
to see repeated. But everyone spoken
to during arecent visit to Loburn say
the restoration and cleanup work has
made the community stronger by
bringing them closer together.

Feral cats target of aerial drop
By ROBYN BRISTOW
Feral cats are being targeted in an
aerial operation in the St James
Conservation area, north east of
Hanmer Springs.
Department of Conservation’s
National Eradication manager, Stephen
Horn, says ameat bait, containing
sodium fluoroacetate (1080), targeting
feral cats, is being trialled to test the
effectiveness of the aerial distribution
of baits, at one bait per hectare to
control cats.
‘‘This method would allow large scale
and cost­effective control of feral cats,
and be potentially of huge benefit to
feral cat management.’’
It will be dropped by helicopter over a
5000ha block in the Edwards Valley,
north east of Hanmer Springs, enabling
further research in using the novel bait.
‘‘It’s an important step in national
efforts to broaden the toolbox of control
tools for feral cats, which are a
significant threat to New Zealand’s
native species, and are known to kill
native birds, lizards, bats and insects,’’
he says.
It builds on two previous trials —one
in subantarctic Auckland Island, and
one on Rakiura/Stewart Island.
The Auckland Island trial resulted in
a40% reduction of feral cat sightings at
one site, and a65% reduction at another
site, using one bait per 25 hectares
❛It’s an important step in
national efforts to broaden the
toolbox of control tools for feral
cats, which are asignificant
threat to New Zealand’s native
species, and are known to kill
native birds, lizards, bats and
insects.❜
—Department of Conservation National
Eradication manager, Stephen Horn
(about 25 rugby fields).
On Rakiura/Stewart Island, there was
a71% reduction of feral cats using 1bait
per 3hectares. Interaction by non­target
native species was extremely low.
‘‘Currently the bait is unregistered
and these trials are anecessary part of
the process to obtain registration for the
product.
‘‘In the previous two trials we have
undertaken, the baits have been hand
laid,’’ he says.
Both trials were ‘‘effective’’ at
reducing feral cat numbers.
Mr Horn says tools to control feral cats
and eradicating them on offshore
islands are limited, expensive and
ineffective.
‘‘There are only two feral cat baits
registered for use in New Zealand,
however they are either too labour
intensive for large areas, or their
success has been mixed.’’
The Edwards Valley operation would
further the department’s understanding
of the ‘‘best ways to use this new feral cat
bait’’.
‘‘This site has been chosen as it has
high numbers of feral cats and the risk to
native wildlife is low.
‘‘ In preparation for the trial, acamera
network was set up over 1000ha and
resulted in 22 feral cat detections and
nine individual cats identified.
‘‘We expect the 5000ha trial area to
have at least 40 feral cats.’’
‘‘Underpinning this work is our
ongoing effort to protect NZ’s precious
native species from an introduced
threat we must control.’’
There will be anon toxic drop from
August 1, with the toxic application
about 10 day later depending on the
weather.
Warning signs will be put up at all
public points of entry to the treatment
area prior to the toxic bait application.
These will be in place for at least six
months.
The department warns people not to
touch poison baits, watch children at all
times if you are in the area, do not eat
animals from the area, and that poison
baits or carcasses are deadly to dogs.
Airsoft proposal causes angst
By DAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Residents areupinarms about a
proposed gun sports parkbeing
established in arural North
Canterbury community.
Loburn resident Marie Jones and
her neighbours areconcerned a
proposed airsoft sports facility will
ruin the rural outlook and devalue
their properties
Christchurch­based Arena Ltd has
applied to the WaimakaririDistrict
Council for aresource consent to
establish an airsoft sports and
recreation activity park on Fishers
Road, near Loburn.
Similar to paintball, exponents of
airsoft use airsoft pellets instead of
bullets.
MrsJones said she found out about
the proposal after aneighbour, who
runs abusiness in Rangiora,
overheard aconversation and then
contacted the council.
The neighboursgot together last
week, fearing the consent could be
approved without being notified.
The council had been trying to sell a
6.5 hectareblock for sometime, before
sub­dividing the property, with Arena
Ltd buying 4ha.
Residents were concerned about the
fire risk from the property, where the
spraying noxious weeds has not been
kept up, Mrs Jones said. ‘‘As
neighbours we have phoned the
council at least twice ayear to do
something.
‘‘It is always adanger waiting to
happen.’’
The Loburn community was
devastated by amajor fire in the
district, in January.
She said Fishers Road is narrow and
not designed to take increased traffic,
and has ablind rise just before the
property.
AWaimakariri District Council
spokesperson confirmed aresource
consent application has been received
to operate an airsoft sports facility at
Loburn.
The application is on hold while the
council seeks further information
from the applicant.
Once the information has been
received, the council will process the
application as anon­notified, limited
notified or publicly notified consent.
Arena Ltd director Ken Yep said the
company has been operating an airsoft
sports facility near Christchurch since
2011.
‘‘We are trying to replicate it in more
of anatural forest setting.’’
He said he was keen to preserve the
natural forestry on the site, and was
working to clear away the noxious
weeds.
Arena Ltd was working with council
planners and had brought in
engineers to assess the likely noise
levels and was planning to design fire
breaks.
Mr Yep said the park would mainly
be open in the weekends, with some
private groups onsite during the week.
‘‘I don’t think it will drop their
property values at all. Ithink it will
increase their values.
‘‘It is gun related, but it is aproper
sport and everyone enjoys it, and we
get alot of young people and families
coming out.
‘‘We are not some weird group which
causes all sorts of problems.’’
Mr Yep said he would be happy to
meet with residents to address their
concerns.

New Sefton Hall backed by board
ByDAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Asmall North Canterbury community
group’s efforts to build anew hall in the
local domain has received the backing of
the Woodend­Sefton Community Board.
The Sefton Public Hall Society plans to
build anew community hall at the Sefton
Domain,expected to cost around $3.3
million.
Afterobtaining alease for 900 square
metres of land at the domain, the society
engaged consultancy firm TMCo, which
assessed thesite, and found the
wastewater system had ‘‘failed’’.
‘‘The water from the septic tank was
ponding and not draining away,’’ society
president Ian Lochhead said.
The council was contacted and
portaloos have been placed on the site.
The Woodend­Sefton Community
Board met last week and recommended
the council’s community and recreation
committee approve funding up to
$180,000toreplace the wastewater
system.
The news is arelief to the society, as
the project’s costs were already
escalating, Mr Lochhead said.
The society has already spent nearly
$84,000 on preliminary work and initial
designs.
Estimated costs have more than
doubled over the last few years to $3.3
million due to rising material costs.
The proposed new hall will include a
main hall with afloor area of 304 square
metres, ameeting hall and commercial
kitchen.
It will also have outdoor sports
changing facilities and atoilet, which
will be available 24 hours aday, seven
days aweek, to replace the domain sports
pavilion.
‘‘It is future proofing our community
for 50 years, and maybe longer,’’ Mr
Community facility ... Artists impressions of the proposed Sefton Hall to be built at the

Lochhead said.
To date the society has raised around a
third of the funds needed through cash
and assets, including earthquake
insurance, a$200,000 contribution from
the council and funds raised from raffles
and quiz nights.
The council has also agreedtofund the
costofaresource consent.
Thesociety plans to sell the old Sefton
Hall site on Upper Sefton Road, along
with the former Sefton Library building
to boost the funds.
It is ready to makeabig fundraising
push, and will apply for community
grants and look for sponsors.
The old Sefton Hall was built in 1966 to
replace an earlier hall.
But it was damaged in 2010 and 2011
earthquakes, leaving it at about 37
percent of the building code.
An engineering assessment was
completed in 2017, followed by a
feasibility study in 2020.
Repairing the hall would require
bringing it to 67% of code and cost close
to $1 million.
It is still used almost every day by
various different community groups, Mr
Lochhead said.
‘‘The council has allowedustouse it
without doing major works because they
knowwehave aplan forthe new build.’’
The domain is used by the Ashley
Rugby Club, Sefton Cricket Club, Sefton
Tennis Club and various other activities.

Photo exhibition
By SHELLEY TOPP
The vibrancy of nature’s
colours has been given a
spectacular flip for the
Nature in Black and White
photographic exhibition in
Kaiapoi.
The exhibition by
members of the Nature
Photography Society of New
Zealand has ‘‘flipped the
colours of nature on its
head,’’ says the event's coordinator
Jane Coulter of
Cashmere, who also has a
photo, Tranquil Beach, in the
exhibition.
‘‘Now naturally, we at
Nature, think (and see) the
world around us in colour,
both vivid and muted, so
learning to see the world in
black and white was quite a
challenge,’’ she says.
However, after aseries of
workshops the group began
looking at nature in a
different way. They also
PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP
learnt how to get the most out
of their black and white
images in post processing.
‘‘It is all about finding
tones,’’ she says.
Transforming nature’s
colours into black and white
images ‘‘makes them more of
an art work’’.
The exhibition features 44
black and white images, all
framed to ahigh standard by
Christchurch picture framer
John Smith, and contributed
by 44 members of the society.
Many of the images were
taken in New Zealand, but
the exhibition also includes
photographs from overseas.

White exhibition in the Art

Around the electorate with
STUART SMITH MP FOR KAIKOURA
Enabling not stifling
As an electorate MP, Iamalways
fielding complaints about excessive
rules and regulations, and for the most
part, those complaints arejustified.
What really brought this home for me
was watching ‘Clarkson’s Farm’, which
is aPrime TV series on English
television personality Jeremy Clarkson,
who takes over the management of his
arable farm.
Located in Chipping Norton in the
Cotswolds, it is considered to be the
walking and exploring capital of
England and is aprotected landscape
recognised as an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty (AONB).
Jeremy is determined to innovate and
to sell the bounty of his farm’s
production directly to the public.
He builds afarm shop and restaurant
which constantly is thwarted by aneverending
list of rules and regulations.
His attempts to innovate with
environmental projects stumble with
the same hurdles stifling the very goals
they wereput in place to achieve.
Jeremy’s frustrations will be familiar
to our farmers, but these experiences
are not just due to the rules and
regulations, they are made worse by
overly rigorous interpretation and
enforcement.
That is why we established aMinister
for Regulation to oversee the reduction
of rules and regulations, allowing a
culture of enabling innovation to
flourish in New Zealand.

Muchhas been written about localism
where the local control of government
decision making is made closer to the
coal face, whichisaworthy objective.
However, the interpretation and
enforcement of regulations and rules
are just as important, as was
demonstrated in one episode of
Clarkson’s Farm.
Jeremy’s application for afarm
restaurant was turned down in a
hearing of local councillors on spurious
grounds, so localism alone will not
deliver results.
It is the incentives that must change.
Councils need to benefit from the
innovation and development.
When considering aworthy
application to build afarm shop or
restaurant for example, councils need
to consider how they can help get the
application across the line, rather than
why it can’t be allowed to go ahead.
Iamnot advocating for alaissez­faire
system.
Isimply want an enabling system of
rules and regulations where innovators
and economic development are not only
enabled but celebrated.
This will driveeconomic growth
which in turn will give us better
incomes and ahigher standard of living.
The cultural DNA of New Zealanders
to do­it­yourself, to invent, to create and
innovate is to be encouraged and
supported as we strivefor aresilient,
diverse, and sustainable economy.
Housing reforms cause for concern for Deputy Mayor
ByDAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Government housing reforms are ‘‘wellintentioned,
but the devil will be in the
detail’’, says Waimakariri Deputy Mayor
Neville Atkinson.
Councillor Atkinson, the Waimakariri
District Council’s housing portfolio
holder, welcomes efforts to speed up
housing growth. But he questioned a
proposal to prohibit councils from
imposingrural­urban boundary lines in
planning documents.
‘‘I get the sentiment. I’m all for speeding
up housing growth in asensible manner,
but is this proposal the sensible manner?
Removing the urban­rural boundary
worries me.
‘‘Do we want to be adistrict of many
towns or compact and efficient?’’
Housing Minister Chris Bishop recently
announced sweeping changes to planning
rules inabid to boost housing growth by
freeing up land and removing planning
red tape.
Tier 1and 2councils will be required to
develop 30 years housing growth targets,
while the new medium density residential
standards (MDRS) will be made optional.
Waimakaririisatier 1council, as the
towns Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Woodend,
Pegasus and Ravenswood are part of
Greater Christchurch.
The Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan,
adopted by the partner councils earlier
this year, includes planning for housing
growth over the next 30 years, which is
reflected in the proposed Waimakariri
District Plan, expected to take effect later
this year.
Cr Atkinson said the proposed changes
left the council ‘‘stuck in adifficult
position’’ between the old District Plan,
the process of finalising the new one and
waiting on the new legislation.
‘‘There will be variations we will be
required to do under the legislation, and
you can’t enact the variations for two
years, while it goes throughthe process.’’
He said abipartisan approach to
housing was needed, with political parties
working together on housing policy, rather
than forcing changes on councils every few
years.
‘‘I think everyone is working to the same
goals, but we’ve got bogged down in
bureaucracy. There are so many
restrictions on where you can put astake
in the ground.’’
Cr Atkinson said concerns remained
about how the housing growth would be
funded, aconcern echoed by Local
Government New Zealand president Sam
Broughton.
‘‘If we are serious about solving the
housing crisis, we must change how
growth is paid for. New housing requires
roads, footpaths, green space, and
services, which are really expensive for
councils and ratepayers.’’
Mr Broughton said LGNZ called on the
Government to partner with councils on
housing, but local government was not
consulted on the proposed changes.
Development planning manager Matt
Bacon said the council was proceeding
with the District Plan Review process,
based on the existing legislative
framework. The Government’s proposed
changes would be considered as part of
the review process, should they become
law.

Painting and sipping
Car wash fundraiser
By JOHN COSGROVE
Sipping and painting was the order of
the day at local cafe, Fools of Desire, in
Rangiora last week.
North Canterbury painter Genavieve
Amyes was joined by seven artists at the
Paint ‘n’ Sip winter workshop, for a
couple of hours painting —the theme
Flowerchild —anexpressionist floral
painting using acrylics on canvas.
Julie Hassall, treasurer of the
Rangiora Arts Society (RAS) and art
director for the cafe, says it is a
‘‘wonderful initiative to help unleash
creative talents in participants.’’
‘‘Genavieve is amember of the society
and Arts Canterbury, and she is paving
the way helping young talent to prosper
and grow in the community.
Participants were tasked with
creating their version of Flowerchild –
one of Genavieve’s paintings.
‘‘It is achance for people to paint
flower pictures,’’ says Genavieve. ‘‘We
are having afun day and everyone
enjoyed the cafe atmosphere at Fools of
Desire.’’
Carole Baker, of Amberley, has
returned to painting after abreak of 40
years.
‘‘It is an excellent concept where one
can explore their own artistic
possibilities. It also allows experienced
painters to also pick up more ideas and

skills at the same time.’’
Anne Hart, of Kaiapoi, took up canvas
painting six years ago after training in
Batik painting. ‘‘It is anice way to learn
expressionist painting,’’ she says.
For Genavieve’s mother­in­law,
Noeline Amyes, it was her first time
attending apainting workshop and
although nervous at first, had ‘‘a ball’’.

Exhibition and workshop
By SHELLEY TOPP
Atouring exhibition with an associated
workshop will open at the Oxford Gallery
toi oWaimakariri today (Thursday July 25).
Double Perspective ­ACross­cultural
Artistic Journey, showcases work by
Wellington artists Micheline Robinson and
Claire Wastiaux
Micheline and Claire are professional
artists, with 30 years of artistic experience
each, who, between them, have worked in
12 countries.
When they met, they realised they
shared asimilar history where their art
practices and ambitions were
compromised while adapting to new
cultures, raising children in new
environments and trying to maintain their
own artistic identity.
Claire’s work is amixture of vibrant
geometric abstractions obtained by
decomposing adigital photographic image
into multiple simple shapes recombined
and superimposed on the original.
Micheline’s approach to her work is highly
experimental and innovative using handpainted
layers of inks to explore ways to
convey new visual textures and illusions.
The mixed­media workshop, Shapeshift:
Exploring the Art of New Forms, will be
held at the gallery on Sunday, August 4
from 12pm to 2pm with tickets $10 per
person. Acollaborative artwork consisting
of contributions from people taking part in
the workshop will be added to the
exhibition, which closes on Sunday,
August 25.

Board to fight landfill
ByDAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Community concerns over the
environmental impact of a
proposed landfill in North
Canterbury have led to alocal
community board taking astand.
The Rangiora­Ashley
Community Board will make a
submission against alandfill
being proposed by Christchurch
firm Protranz Earthmoving
Limited at its quarry at White
Rock, nearNorth Loburn.
Protranz has lodged resource
consent applications with
Environment Canterbury and
the Waimakariri District
Council to construct and operate
aproposed landfill for the
disposal of building and
demolition waste, and
contaminated soil material.
Board chairperson Jim Gerard
said the community board
members decided to stand
alongside the local community,
who were concerned about the
risks to groundwater and the
local Karetu River.
He said the board would seek
financial assistance from the
Waimakariri District Council to
seek specialist advice to help
prepare its submission.
‘‘We are representing the
community so we need to ensure
whatever information we do
present, is presented as well as
it is able to be.’’
At arecent meeting, asubcommittee
of Mr Gerard and
board members Ivan Campbell
and Kirstyn Barnett,who
represent the board’s Ashley
sub­division, was appointed to
work on the submission.
Mr Gerard said he had met
with White Rock and North
Loburn residents to discuss
their concerns.
‘‘We talked about what we
were doing and have kept them
informed.’’
Aresidents’group is
preparing its own submission.
Oxfordresidents and the
Oxford­Ohoka Community Board
were recently successful in their
opposition to aproposed landfill
at View Hill, near Oxford.
Questions have been raised
about whether another landfill
is needed, given the Kate Valley
Landfill, aregional landfill in
North Canterbury, has plenty of
capacity.
‘‘It is particularly well
managed and internationally
noted for its operation,’’ Mr
Gerardsaid. We would hope any
consent, if granted, will cover all
of thosethings.’’
The Burwood Landfill in
Christchurch hadits consent to
operate extended last month for
another twoyears to June 2026,
becauseithas yet to reach its
capacity.
Around 100 White Rock and
Loburn residents attended a
public meeting in February and
have since formed an
incorporated society to organise
the opposition to the landfill
proposal.
Spokesperson Mike McCaleb
said there ‘‘was ahigh degree of
anger, disappointment and
resentment’’ expressed by
people throughout North
Canterbury.
‘‘So many people were
depressed, stressed and feeling
hopeless abouttheir ability to
affect the proceedings.’’
Bouyed by the recent Oxford
landfill decision,the residents
now feel more confident.
‘‘We are asmall community
with abig heart. We have many
passionate and committed
professionals in our
community.’’
Mr McCaleb said residents
were concerned about the
potential environmental damage
to the Karetu River,which feeds
into the Okuku River and then
the Ashley /Rakahuri River.
Increased truck movements
was another concern,
particularly trucks carrying
asbestos and other contaminants
to the landfill.
Protranz general manager
Shaun Coakley said he
respected the community
board’s decision.
‘‘We knew the development of
critical infrastructure such as a
managed fill landfill would
attract attention from the local
community, hence our decision
to voluntarily publicly notify.
Whether by providing additional
information that clarifies their
issues or collaborating to
establish consent conditions
that mitigate their concerns,
we're committed to an open
dialogue.’’ Consents have been
lodged with Environment
Canterbury and the Waimakariri
District Council, and are on
hold, awaiting more
information.

Bylaw revision
By DAVID HILL,
Local Democracy Reporter
Kaikōura has no active
stock movement rules, but
no­one seems to have
noticed.
Kaikōura District
Council operations senior
manager Dave Clibbery
said the council’s stock
movement bylaw, to
manage stock movement on
roads and roadsides, was
due to reviewed in 2016, but
was overlooked and has
since expired.
‘‘While we still have the
bylaw referenced on our
website, it is technically not
enforceable.
‘‘The severity is not
particularly great and we
have limited stock
movement activity.’’
Council records
indicated there had been
issues in the past, which
suggested farmers might
think the bylaw is still in
place, he said.
Having an active bylaw
allowed the council to set
thresholds for when actions
needed to be taken, such as
when farmers may be
required to install stock
underpasses.
The worst case scenario
would aserious accident
from avehicle hitting an
animal on the road, while
cow urine could also
damage the seal on the
road, Mr Clibbery said.
Astock movement bylaw
was first introduced in 1986
by the former Kaikōura
County Council.
This was replaced by a
new Kaikōura District
Council bylaw in 1995,
which expired before the
most recent bylaw was
introduced in 2011.
The bylaw was due to
reviewed in 2016, the year
of the 7.8 magnitude
earthquake which
devastated the district, and
has since expired.
Mr Clibbery said the 2011
bylaw was generally ‘‘fit for
purpose’’ and he proposed
some minor amendments,
including distinguishing
between roadside races
and ‘long acre’ roadside
grazing, and prohibiting
droving at night.
At arecent workshop,
councillors instructed staff
to prepare arevised stock
movement bylaw to be
considered at afuture
council meeting, before
going out for consultation.

The North Canterbury News, July 18, 2024
An ADHD diagnosis an awakening for Bex
ADHD is not just confined to
adolescents. Jenn Loh reports
When her son was being assessed for
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD), Bex O’Malley realised she shared
many symptoms that resulted in his
diagnosis.
The realisation led to her own
assessment, and in 2019, at 35­years­old,
she was diagnosed with ADHD.
‘‘It was an awakening. Ihad an
explanation now for why those three
decades of my life seemed to be so much
harder than for others around me,’’ Bex
says.
‘‘I always felt like Ididn’t connect with
others the same way.’’
‘Neurodivergent’ is the umbrella term
for people with different cognitive
functions than neurotypicals. It includes
individuals with neurodevelopmental
conditions such as autism spectrum
disorder, dyslexia, and ADHD.
Bex is asenior sales specialist at Air
New Zealand Cargo. After feeling the need
to hide her ADHD from aprevious
employer,she described the move to a
supportive, inclusive work environment at
Air New Zealand as life­changing.
‘‘I felt important. Ifelt like Ihad
permission to take the time to get to know
myself, and to then be able to let the
business know what my needs are for them
to get the best out of me.’’
The Kaiapoi resident says being open
about her ADHD in her workplace has
greatly aided in her ability to frame its
discourse in aless negative way.
‘‘Because my colleagues understand
that my brain is wired differently, and how
that manifests in certain behaviours –
ADHD is not an excuse, it’s an
explanation.’’
Bex stresses the importance of flipping
the narrative of neurodiversity into a
positive one.
‘‘You see and hear so much in the media
about the negative stuff, like the
neurodivergent unemployment rates, and
the percentage of the prison population
that have ADHD.
‘‘But where are the stats on the number
of successful people that are on the
spectrum?’’
Bex is training through education
provider Gold Mind Academy to become
an accredited ADHD coach to help others,
particularly women who were diagnosed
as adults, see their neurodivergence in a
positive light.
She praises the te reo translations of
neurodiverse conditions for making no
mention of disorders or deficits.
The Māori word for ADHD, aroreretini,
means ‘‘attention goes to many things’’.
Takiwātanga, derived from ‘‘tōku/tōna
anō takiwā’’ which means ‘‘my/his/her own
time and space’’, is used to describe
autism.
While the implementation of well­being
and mental health policies by many
organisations has come along way, Bex
finds the poor understanding of
neurodivergent conditions is abarrier to
achieving true inclusivity.
‘‘People historically see it as solely a
behavioural thing ­but it’s not.
Neurodivergents have different chemical
processes happening in their brains.
‘‘It’s physiological as well, and there’s no
‘one size fits all’ formula as each
individual’s needs are very different.’’
She emphasises organisations should be
adopting an intersectional lens when it
comes to building neuro­inclusive
policies, especially as future generations

Bex O’Malley
are poised to enter the workplace with a
much stronger sense of awareness.
The formation of groups such as the
Neurodiversity in Education Coalition are
proof of the changing times.
The coalition, which comprises four
national organisations that represent a
large proportion of New Zealand’s
neurodiverse youth, is advocating for
more awareness of the rights of
neurodiverse young people.
‘‘There is diversity across all parts of
human experience —gender, sexuality,
ethnicity.
‘‘Neurodiversity is just another one of
those areas in which people are different,’’
says Justine Munro, coalition leader.
‘‘Gen Zisvery clear on matters of
identity, and they want their workplaces to
actually recognise who they are across all
of those dimensions and become
environments where they can bring their
17
full selves to work.’’
Gen Zispeople born between 1997 and
2012.
Employment advocate Ashleigh
Fechney agrees with Munro.
‘‘We want to bring our full selves to our
employment, not just the parts that will
benefit an employer,’’ Ashleigh says.
‘‘We don’t want to be seen as atool for
profit. We want to be recognised for our
intrinsic value as human beings with
unique strengths and contributions.’’
She works closely with ADHD New
Zealand, providing legal support on
employment rights for members of the
neurodivergent community.
Ashleigh believes it’s mutually
beneficial for employers to acknowledge
intersectional handicaps and support
individual growth of their employees,
regardless of them being neurodivergent
or neurotypical.
‘‘When employees feel seen and
supported, their engagement and
productivity naturally increase.’’
What is ADHD?
ADHD is caused by a
neurodevelopment delay to the prefrontal
cortex of the brain, which results in
increased difficulty in controlling and
filtering attention, emotions, and
behaviours.
In New Zealand, an estimated 280,000
Kiwis have ADHD –that’s one in 20
people.
While ADHD was once thought to be
more prevalent in males, it is now
believed the gender ratio is 1:1 and
females are overlooked because their
symptoms typically present as inattentive
rather than hyperactive.
ADHD usually runs in families. A
quarter of all children with ADHD will
have aparent with the condition.
RAPID numbers can savelives if displayed properly
Tenminutes can seem alifetime for
Hanmer Springs emergency service
workers Jessica Gibson and Amy MacLeod.
Jessica is aPrime ResponderatHanmer
Springs Health Centre, Amy is aFirst
Responderfor Hato Hone St John.
They’ve both experiencednot being able
to locate the property of aperson in need,
because the address is not clearly marked
at the road entrance.
They say aquick response time is vital,
and having ahighly reflective RAPID
number plate displayedclearly can be a
key part of saving alife, particularly in
rural areas.
Not being able to find aproperty adds
stress to what is often already atense and
stressful situation, Jessica says, and is a
situation emergency service workers would
rather avoid.
For rural propertiesnumbers needtobe
displayed where they can be seen from
both directions on the road, day or night.
Emergency services calling an occupant
at the house for directions is not always
possible, as sometimes there is no
coverage, so they continue driving until
they strike luck or see someone standing on
the side of the road.
‘‘And these options can take the carer
away from the patient if they have to stand
on the road, or answer the phone,’’ Jessica
says.
‘‘The easier we can find you, the quicker
we can help,’’ says Amy.’’
Emergency Service personnel and locals
in Hanmer Springs have banded together
to remind their community how important,
and easy, it is to get aRAPID number plate
at their front gate. Harley Manion, who
lives in the village, and has afarm south of
the village on SH7A, has three farm
entrances with different RAPID numbers.
‘‘If you are trying to ring emergency
services, the more information you can give
them, the better, Harley says.
One farm entrance is to his elderly
father’shouse, the other two are farm
entrances., and the Chatterton River runs
through the farm, so as weather patterns
change throughout the year, access points
can change too.
He says urban addresses should also be
easy to see. ‘‘The majority of the local
emergency services are volunteers. We
need to make their job as easy as possible.’’
Jo and Steve Smith live on alifestyle
block on Medway Road, just south of
Hanmer Springs. They had aRAPID
number when they lived in Nelson and
know how important it can be.
‘‘If Ihad aheart attack, I’d quite like
someone from emergency services to find
me,’’Josays. They encourage everyone on
their road to get anumber.
‘‘Like anything, it’s an individual choice,
but if you had an emergency you’dwant to
be found.’’
She said there are not many RAPID
number plates on Medway Road at the
moment, and many addresses are hard to
read, especially at night time.
Adele MacLeod, administrator at the
local Springs Health Centre, says her
message to the community is simple —“Get
one installed so emergency services can
locate you’’.
She sees first­hand first responders not
being able to locate aproperty.
Hurunui District Council’s Rapid
Number &Vehicle Crossing Officer Liz
Atkins encourages more people to get
RAPID number plates. Go to hurunui.govt.

Quality first at NC Collision Repair Centre
No job is too big or too small for the North
Canterbury Collision Repair Centre in
Kaiapoi.
The company has built astrong
reputation over the past 40 years for
meeting the region’s paint and panel
repair needs.
Owner John Hamilton says they
continue to offer all insurance work and
repairs for vehicles, from everyday bumps
and scrapes to major smashwork, rust
removal and restoration.
‘‘We have always done this type of
work,’’ he says.
The company started in Amberley in
1994. It expanded into Kaiapoi in 2001 and
Rangiora in 2012, then rebranded to North
Canterbury Collision Repair Centres in
2014.
The Amberley centre, previously known
as Amberley Panel and Paint, was recently
sold to Ryan Demmocks, aformer
employee, bringing to an end 26 years of
service in the North Canterbury town
offered by John and his team.
John says after recently selling the
Rangiora and Amberley branches,they
are now focusing on their Kaiapoi centre.
The business deals with all insurance
companies, offers free quotes, and has a
fleet of courtesy cars so you don’t have to
be stranded when yours is getting
repaired.
They also offer free pick­up and
delivery.
John says the staff at North Canterbury
Collision are fully qualified to undertake
all panel and paint repairs from minor
scrapes to major smash work.
They can handle all repairs on site at
98D Williams Street, in Kaiapoi.
The company actively supports local
sports and community, and believes in
locals helping locals.
John advises North Canterburypeople
tonot be swayed by insurance companies
demanding they get their damaged vehicle
repaired in Christchurch at their
facilities.
‘‘Recommend us for all your paint and
panel repairs, as it is your car and we are
right here on hand in Kaiapoi.’’
North CanterburyCollision Repair
Centre continues to invest in technology
andtrainingtoensure it uses the latest
techniques and equipment.
John says the company aims to look after
customers from start to finish.

Giddy up ... Woodbine Farm owners John and Sharon Chynoweth guide their team of
Clydesdales through the ploughing match.
Competition was tight during two days of
ploughing competitions held in North
Canterbury last weekend.
The Oxford and the North Canterbury
ploughing matches were held on
alternate days at Swannanoa and
offered competitors avariety of
challenging conditions.
Ploughmen vied for the straightest
furrows in conventional, vintage,
contemporary and horses ploughing
classes.
In the popular vintage section, Dave
Allan of Hinds, topped the scorecard on
Saturday, but John Stalker led the way
on Sunday.
In the conventional section Robert
Casey came back from atough day on
Saturday to win the class on Sunday,
passing Tryphena Carter of Riversdale,
who had won the class the day before.
Woodbine Farm owners John and
Sharon Chynoweth guided their team of
Clydesdales to wins on both days, while
in the contemporary class Keith
Merrychurch squeaked in with awin
over Robin Holmes on Saturday, but
Tim Boag lined up good furrows to beat
them on Sunday.
Organisers made Saturday a
community affair hoping to inspire the
next generation of ploughing
enthusiasts.
They invited the nearby Model Aero
Club of Kaiapoi, the Canterbury Lawn
Mower Racing club, local farming
contractors and vintage tractor owners
to showcase their clubs’ activities while
15 tractors and two Clydesdale Horse
teams competed for honours at the
ploughing matches.
Cody Winter says it was an impressive
way to start two days of ploughing
competitions.
‘‘There were alarge number of
visitors and families who came along to
take part in the open day.
‘‘We are already planning for next
year’s event to add some more fun and
clubs to the display area.’’

Kirsty off to World Road Cycling Champs
Cycling is apassion for Kirsty
Watts, one she has enjoyed
since she was eight­years­old.
Now she is heading overseas
to take on the world’sbest.
Kirsty entered the Weetbix
Triathlon and enjoyed the
experience so much she took
up competing in triathlons and
duathlons.
At the age of 12, she switched
to competitive road cycling
and cyclocross.
This started her on ajourney
which in September thisyear
will see the now 17­year­old
competing at the pinnacle of
international road cycling
when she represents New
Zealand at the 2024 UCI
(International Cycling Union)
Junior World Road Cycling
Championshipsin
Switzerland.
Home schooled at Fernside,
Kirsty will be riding in both
the 18.8km long time trail and
the 73.6km road race around
the countryside of Zurich.
She is under no illusions
about what to expect when she
lines up to start the races.
‘‘I went there last year with
the same team who asked me
to join them again this year as
Iwanted to see what the
competition was like and how
the other girls raced. They are
fast but so am I.’’
Earlier this year the Black
Magic Women’s cycle racing
team invited Kirsty when they
formed asquad of three under­
19 women riders to compete in
Switzerland .
The team will be travelling
to Belgium in August to train
and race in the weeks leading
up to the UCI World
ChampionshipsinZurich.
Black Magic Women is an
elite women's cycling
platform; focused on
developing the next
generation of female cyclists
and promoting the growth of
women's cycling in New
Zealand.
Kirsty is the New Zealand
U19 road race and time trial
champion and is the only New
Zealander to date to achieve
both national titles in U15,
U17 and now U19 age
categories.
In April 2024, she raced at
the Oceania Road Cycling
ChampionshipsinBrisbane
and came home with two silver
medals.
She has also been the New
Zealand track cycling points
race champion for the last
three years and holds
numerousnational titles from
U15 through to U19 in both
road and track cycling.She
won silver last year in the New
Zealand cyclocross
championships in her first
year racing.
To fund her trip to
Switzerland, her number one
fan, mother Beth Black, has
started afund­raising
campaign through a
Givealittle page.
‘‘As this trip is self­funded, I
am doingwhat Ican to help
her fundraise to help with the
costs,’’ says Beth. ‘‘We started
aGivealittle.co.nzpage to help
her raise $10,000 to pay for all
her expenses.’’

Semi finalists found in NC senior rugby
RUGBY
Collated BY PETER WILLIAMS
Semi finalists were found in the
North Canterbury senior rugby
competition last Saturday, with
the final five minutes between
Ashley and Hurunui, proving to
be influential in deciding the
final spots.
Logan Topp kicked avital
penalty to regain Hurunui’s
lead, which it briefly
surrendered, making the prize
of aplace in the semi­finals
tantalisingly close.
But Ashley stormed back on to
attack and laid siege to the
Hurunuitryline.
With fulltime up, the
mercurial Anthony Tavendale
slipped through acouple of
tackles to cross for the winning
try, ending an excellent and
closely­contested display of
rugby.
These final drama­filled
minutes allowed Ohoka, who
had just been puttothe sword
by Glenmark­Cheviotina40­7
drubbing at Mandeville, aplace
nthe semis.
It will now have to face
Glenmark­Cheviotagain on
Saturday in one semi­final,
while Kaiapoi will host Ashley
in what is likely to be amuch
closer battle in the other semifinal.
Final points were: Glenmark­
Cheviot 34, Kaiapoi,29, Ashley
25, Ohoka 18, Hurunui 17,
Oxford 15, Woodend 5Saracens
1.
Glenmark­Cheviotwon the
Colin Rowland Trophy.
In atop­of­the­table Division 2
clash, Ashley piled on three
first­halftries to lead the
unbeaten Ohoka side 19­nil at
half­time, but Ohoka,
determined to retain its
untarnished season’s record
bounced back in the second half
with three converted tries to
take a21­19 victory.
Ashley vHurunui
In arip­roaring start to an
entertaining match, three tries
were scored in the first seven
minutes —two of them to
Hurunui. After an incisive run
Hurunui captain, Jono Schwass
in­passed to the lanky Louis
Bethell to open the scoring.
Ashley’s fullback, Anthony
Tavendale, responded
immediately giving due warning
of just how hard he would be to
pull down all match. Hurunui

winger Sam Grigg then capped
off an excellent build up from
Hurunuitoput the visitors
ahead 12­5.
After this frenetic start the
match settled down with Ashley
winning the territorial battle
and having several more tryscoring
opportunities that
foundered on rock­solid
Hurunui defence.
ALogan Topp penalty
stretched Hurunui’s half­time
lead to 15­5 butthe second half
brought more territorial
dominance to the home team
and this time they were able to
turn it into points.
Flanker Sam Freeman
finished off an excellent team
effort, while Korbyn Gray’s
conversion and subsequent
penalty goal helped keep Ashley
in touch on the scoreboard and
set up the knife­edgefinish.
Tavendale, in the hero’s role,
sliced through for the matchwinning
try much to the delight
of the members of Ashley’s 2014
Senior side who had gathered
for areunion in amarquee
pitched for the occasion.
They were celebrating the
10­year anniversary of their
victory over Glenmark in the
Division 1Final.
This is the only occasion that
Ashley has won the competition.
Ashley 25 (Anthony Tavendale
(2), Sam Freeman, Louis James,
tries) beat Hurunui 21(Louie
Bethell, Sam Grigg tries, Logan
Topp 3penalties 1conversion
Kaiapoi vOxford
Played at Kaiapoi, the home
team set the tone of the match
from the kick off and was
rewarded with atry after only
seven minutes.
Playing into the sun and wind,
Oxford defended stoutly holding
Kaiapoi out for another fifteen
minutes before another
converted try gave Kaiapoi a14
point cushion. This try came on
the back of a50metre dash from
centre Isaiah Solomon­Ritchie.
Oxford earned aperiod on
attack and was close to scoring
at the 30 minute mark before
Kaiapoi finished the half with a
try that came after the forwards
stayed in close contact and
rumbled the ball over the line.
The second spell began with
Kaiapoi again doing the
attacking, but it wasn’t until the
13th minute it scored again,
following ablindside move that
involved both forwards and
backs with lock Ollie Taylor
scoring the try.
Oxford then got itself into the
game and following atry to
captain George Prain, competed
on even terms for the remainder
of the game. With full time
nearing Oxford scored another
try to add respectability to the
final score line.
Kaiapoi’s performance
suggested it is tracking well with
the finals approaching.
Its backline in particular is
showing it is one of the better
units in the competition. Oxford
again showed it has made
considerable improvements
since last season. Saturday’s
performance produced standout
performances from hooker
Stu Feary and fullback Jack
Muir.
Kaiapoi 24 (Sidney Coster, Ollie
Taylor, Shak Solomon­Bassi,
Bailey Counihan tries. Taine
Lawson 2conversions) beat
Oxford 10, (George Prain, Rory
Sloan tries.)
Woodend vSaracens
Woodend emerged victorious in
athrilling encounter against
Saracens, the final score being
27­20. The game was marked by
standout performances and a
series of crucial plays that
secured the win for Woodend.
The match kicked off with
intensity from both sides, but it
was Jordie Swaine who broke
the deadlock. Swaine's brilliant
effort saw him evade several
defenders to score the first try of
the game.
However Saracens responded
with acouple of tries of its own
and took a10­7 lead into the
PROUDLYSUPPORTINGLOCAL SPORT
23
break.
Woodend established a
degree of control in the second
half. Atry by Joel Stockwell put
Woodend in front, followed by
another from prop, Yusaku
Kihara, but it was Swaine who
continued to play apivotal role
for Woodend, this time with his
boot. He successfully converted
all three tries and added two
penalties, accumulating vital
points for his team that proved
to be the difference in the end.
Saracens responded with
determination, scoring tries of
its own to stay in the contest.
However, Woodend's tactical
play ensured it maintained
control of the game. Despite a
late surge from Saracens,
Woodend managed to hold its
ground during the tense final
minutes, its disciplined defence
and resilience securing ahardearned
victory and underlining
just how much progress this
team has made this season.
Woodend 27 (Jordie Swain, Joel
Stockwell, Yusaku Kihara tries,
Swaine 3conversions and two
penalties) beat Saracens 20.
Ohoka vGlenmark­Cheviot
It was all one­way traffic at
Mandeville with Glenmark­
Cheviot proving far too strong.
While Tom Taylor, Connor
McKinnon and George Wedlake
toiled hard for the home side,
Ohoka never really threatened.
By the time Taylor scored its
only try early in the second half,
the game was already well out of
reach.
Glenmark­Cheviot produced
its usual solid team game
running in six tries. Hooker,
Nick Hyde was astandout again
scoring one of the tries, and
converting five of them, for a
personal haul of 15 points.
However even that haul was
superseded by Glenmark­
Cheviot fullback, Harry Murray
who crossed the paint on no
fewer than 4occasions. In doing
so, he has drawn even with Hyde
as Glenmark­Cheviot’s leading
try­scorer for the season, both
having touched down on 13
occasions.
It will be adaunting prospect
for Ohoka to think it will face
the same opponent in next
week’s semi­final —and, worse
still, must travel to Cheviot to do
it.
Ohoka 7 (Tom Taylor, try, Scott
Allin conversion) lost to
Glenmark­Cheviot 40 (Nick
Hyde, Harry Murray (4), Hayden
O’Donnell, tries, Hyde 5
conversions).
