Quake ripples reach Kaikoura as victims rebuild homes and lives By David Hill The ripple effect of earthquake recovery is reaching as far north as Kaikoura. Growth is impacting on all three North Canterbury district councils with demand for their services increasing as people rebuild their homes and lives following Canterbury’s series of earthquakes. The Waimakariri District Council, which is experiencing steady demand as people move out of Christchurch and begin to pick up the pieces, is now also taking up the slack for Christchurch City by helping process its building consents. The Hurunui and Kaikoura District are also experiencing steady growth as people look to build anew. According to the latest building consent figures, more than 500 consents for new houses were issued by the Waimakariri District Council in just the first six months of this year, a figure more normally seen in annual consent numbers in the decade prior to the earthquakes. In spite of the rapid growth, planning manager Nick Harrison says the average processing time for building consents is just 10 days, compared to the national standard of 20 days. This means council staff are now able to assist the Christchurch City Council in processing its backlog of consents. Waimakariri Mayor David Ayers says consent figures for the first six months in Rangiora are down with 121 building consents compared to 191 in the same period in 2013 but the numbers for Kaiapoi are rising, with 174 consents issued to June 30, up from 157. More than 1000 homes in the Kaiapoi ward were red zoned in August 2011, and while 829 consents for new houses were issued in the town between January 2012 and June 2014, Mr Ayers says there is still some way to go before the town’s housing stock has been replaced. ‘‘Most of the people in the red zones have moved somewhere else, even if it is in

will be for new houses to replace homes on green zone land, so we still have a wee way to go to replace Kaiapoi’s housing stock.’’

Consents for Pegasus are down slightly, at 83 compared to 99, while 20 (24) consents were issued in Oxford and 77 (84) in rural areas. In all 507 consents for new houses were issue to June 30, 124 less than last year’s record of 631. A record of 1278 new house consents were issued for the whole of 2013. ‘‘The consent numbers have fallen back a bit, but they are still at a very high level so there is still a lot of growth out there,’’ Mr Ayers says. Mr Harrison attributes the drop in consents compared to last year to the rebuild in Christchurch starting to gain momentum. In 2012 the council issued 495 new house consents in the first six months and 1075 for the calendar year. Just 488 consents were issued for the whole of 2011, before the building boom began, and annual figures from 2001 to 2010 ranged from 288 to 624. It is unclear how long the building boom will continue, as Mr Harrison says ‘‘forward looking numbers are unreliable’’. Hurunui District Council building controls team leader Kerry Walsh says the council has issued 271 building consents in the first six months of this year, which includes 66 new house consents. This is up on last year’s record of 263 building consents, including 62 new houses, in the six months to June 30, 2013. Mr Walsh says the total value of building consents issued so far this year is $31 million, giving a huge boost to the growing district. Kaikoura District Council chief executive Stuart Grant says building consent numbers are similar to last year and well ahead of pre earthquake figures with local builders fully booked. ‘‘Whether they are working locally or elsewhere I am unsure, but there is certainly a lot more activity than there was three to four years ago. ‘‘But that’s from a very small base. A lot of the building that happens here would be holiday homes. We get the flow on effect from Christchurch.’’

Balancing school and work GEORGIA Forrester recently interviewed some of our local high school students to find out first-hand what employment means to them. Many students like to keep busy. Parties and crammed social calendars keep some students on their toes, but there are others in the classroom juggling study with employment. So what exactly are these working students doing?

Alex Grew is 17 and has already had experience working at the butcher shop and local cafe´s in Cheviot. In his final year at Cheviot Area School, he works part time on a sheep farm north of Cheviot. Alex says that while he enjoys working outside and gaining practical skills, it’s the pocket money that is the biggest draw card. ‘‘I’m saving about $200 a week. I’m trying to just build up the bank (balance), but the majority of it goes on diesel and all that sort of stuff.’’ During the school term Alex works two afternoons a week, Fridays and the weekend. A research article by Jeylan Mortimer (2011) explores the benefits and risks of adolescent employment. The article states how in the later years of high school some teenagers can be working 20 hours or more per week. In Alex’s case, he has found that the down side to working weekends is the restriction on his free time and social life. ‘‘I don’t stay out very late anymore, so that’s a bit of a bummer. But yeah, just got to make that decision between getting money and not.’’ Yet some students simply have that urge to work and earn their own money; whether it’s for clothes, parties, food or even for future savings. For Alex, his earnings could help with his air force training that starts in January next year. April Clarke is 16 and works twice a week and every second weekend as a lifeguard at Hanmer Thermal pools. She is in year 12 at Amuri Area School and works parttime after school, often racing to get to work from the school bus. After working in hospitality for five years, April got the job at the pools through family contacts. ‘‘I started working when I was really young,’’ she says. ‘‘Saving up young is pretty good. Just getting some money in the bank for what I want to do in the future.’’ While she is still young, April is looking at the police force or the air force for a potential career path. Through her work she has completed her first aid certificate which is a step toward her desired career path. April says working ‘‘is quite a good feeling rather than having your mum pay for everything.’’ Since entering the workforce, she has found her confidence and independence has improved. Livi Percival, a seventeen year old in her final year of school at Rangiora High School has discovered the benefits of working while studying. ‘‘I’ve just bought a car, my first car a wee Honda Civic.’’ In Livi’s case, working has helped pay part

Livi first started working for the Continen tal Bakery at the age of 15 and continues to help out as a casual waitress for Continental Caterers during their busy times. She works five nights a week at an Indian Restaurant all while still studying at school. However with working she has noticed a lot of her time for study has been depleted. ‘‘My school work’s definitely taking a toll.’’ ‘‘I’ve been so late in assignments. ‘‘I’ve been not doing as well as I could have from working as late and not turning up to form class and getting detentions because I worked so late before.’’ ‘‘But then the good thing about it is that I can pay for the stuff at school I need to, like the camps and stuff.’’ Brooke Williams is a 16yearold year 12 student from Omihi studying at Christchurch Girls High School. She is working as a casual waitress for Waipara Springs, starting work in its kitchen washing dishes and helping out with food in the Christmas holidays. ‘‘I just wanted to make my own money and buy my own stuff. ‘‘It takes up a lot of time that I’d use for homework which is annoying, but it’s all right. ‘‘Hospitality is good to work (in) when you’re young. My sister whose in year 10 at

the moment wants to work but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Its a bit too young,’’ says Brooke. ‘‘They need to put their studies first even if they’re wanting to get a job.’’ [sic] Ella Crean , aged 17, is one of the Head Student’s at Hurunui College and is now in her final year of school. She has found that her experience in the workforce has raised her awareness of the big wide world beyond schooling. ‘‘It opens up your mind to a lot of different options that are out there. ‘‘You already know what to expect. ‘‘It’s great just being able to pocket wee bits away over the last couple of years. ‘‘It’s all added up so getting overseas next year isn’t going to be such a huge, daunting task as what it might have been. It’s made everything just that little bit easier.’’ ‘‘When I finished year 11, I went to work in the Christmas holidays and I didn’t actually have a holiday. ‘‘And I came back to school in year 12 and I was shattered because I had just worked probably five to six days a week for the whole holidays. ‘‘It was good in my pocket but really I just needed to rest. You’ve actually got it pretty good while you’re in school so you want to enjoy it while you’re there and work hard to get a good job.’’

Building programme boost By Robyn Bristow A $14.8 million financial boost to Rangiora High School’s building programme will replace sub standard relocatable classrooms and substandard specialist classrooms as its roll continues to grow. Building is expected to start early next year and be finished by October 2016. Rangiora High School principal, Peggy Burrows, says a third of the school’s buildings are old temporary prefabs and she is ‘‘really, really grateful’’ for the boost to its coffers to upgrade buildings and facilities as it roll reaches 1756 and likely to grow as new subdivisions come on stream. ‘‘We have been waiting since October last year. ‘‘It has been a very, very long time to wait because of the millions involved. ‘‘We are very lucky and we are very grateful,’’ she says.

Originally an $8m building programme to build eight new science labs and 12 new modern learning environment classrooms was planned to replace the temporary buildings. However, the Ministry of Education decided to include other works including structural strengthening and a ‘‘wee’’ bit of insurance work. Mrs Burrows says it is now four projects in one with the most exciting being the $80m for new buildings. Since the earthquakes the school’s roll has increased significantly which meant prefabs which had been moved to the school in 2009 when a new administration block was being built, were put to use housing the ‘‘massive’’ increase in students after the quakes. One had been due for demolition in 20072008 but it had to remain for staff to use.

‘‘They will be pleased to move out because it is sagging, cold and dilapidated,’’ says Mrs Burrows. ‘‘Some buildings at the school are really beautiful. ‘‘It is not all doom and gloom and we did have a strengthening and structural programme under way,’’ she says. Building Intelligence has been appointed the project management company and Tess Brown project manager. Mrs Burrows says she is hopeful Jasmax, may be appointed architect as the company had carried out the development plan for the school. The final look of the new learning environment will be a team effort with student Board of Trustee Michael Heron and deputy head student Henry Fraser being part of a group which includes staff, which will be charged with having in put into the project.

Each faculty will also select a Year 9 or 10 student to the group, who will be Year 12 and 13 when the project is finished. ‘‘It is really exciting to be all working together. ‘‘The two senior students will be the voice of the senior school and it is really important to have Year 9 and 10 students there as many have come from modern learning environments in the junior school,’’ says Mrs Burrows. Associate Education Minister Nikki Kaye says Rangiora High School’s property issues have compounded over time to the point where a substantial redevelopment is required. ‘‘The Rangiora High School upgrade is part of the Government’s plan to raise student achievement by ensuring students can learn and achieve in the best possible environments.

Meetings help to air Waimakariri flood issues Waimakariri’s flood meetings are continuing to raise new issues for the council to resolve. Mayor David Ayers says last week’s first Rangiora meeting with the flood team with residents raising several issues ‘‘related to specific areas’’, in particular the southern end of King Street.

Residents also raised concerns about the impact of future sub divisions on storm water, especi ally in the Southbrook area. ‘‘It can become an issue if storm water is not properly controlled,’’ Mr Ayers says. Two weeks ago the council approved $1.5 million of unbud

geted funding towards resolving widespread flooding issues in the district as a result of the extreme rainfall event last month and earlier events in March and April. The flood team has met resi dents affected by flooding in Mandeville and Kaiapoi where red zone land could be used to

alleviate flooding issues in north east Kaiapoi while another Rangiorabased meeting has been held for residents of Fernside, Dockey Creek, Mairaki and other rural areas to the west of the town. A drop in session was held in Rangiora yesterday.

Commercial boom as recovery gains pace By David Hill Big commercial developments are on the horizon for Rangiora and Kaia poi. Waimakariri District Council planning manager Nick Harrison says several town centre develop ments are in the pipeline over the next 12 months, as the building boom continues as the district recovers from the earthquakes. ‘‘I would expect to see some significant increase in town centre activity soon. ‘‘I think we will see more interest in commercial activity over the next year.’’ Mr Harrison says the council is processing a consent application for the proposed Pak’n Save supermar ket at Southbrook and more con sents are on the way. Demolition consents have been approved for the Farmers and Rob bies buildings in Rangiora where work is well under way. Mr Harrison says building consent applications are expected for both buildings over the coming months as the rebuild starts to gain momentum in Rangiora. In Kaiapoi, consent applications have been received for the rebuild of the Riverside Christian Fellowship building and PLC House, ‘‘a sub stantial twostorey building’’ on the corner of Charles and Williams Streets which will provide office and retail space. The building of a preschool and cafe in Sovereign Palms is also well under way, Mr Harrison says. ‘‘There are other buildings that we have seen the concept plans for, so

Demolition of the Farmers in Rangiora is well under way.

level of interest in building. ‘‘This year we had probably our best tourism season for the last four to five years. The day we had the February quake, it was like turning the tap off. But the numbers have been climb ing back and it looked good this summer. A lot of it hinges around accom modation in Christchurch.’’

Three young North Canterbury pianist hit the high notes at a recent festival. Hyman Lam, Seann Zhao and Kieran SinclairLomas each triumphed with their piano solos at the recent Christ church Society Festival of Arts competition, with Seann being named the most promising boy performer under 10 years. Hyman Lam, from Rangiora, won the Lane Cup for his piano solo in under 9 section topping off his success by also winning the Dunmill Cup in the under 10 years section. Seann Zhao, aged 7 from Oxford, won a gold medal for his piano solo in the under 8

years section and the McKay Cup in the under 9 section. He received a certificate for his award for being the most prom ising boy under 10 years. Kieran SinclairLomas from Kaiapoi, won a bronze medal for his piano solo in the 9 year section and was very highly commended in the nine year novice section. Tutor Julia Holcroft of Tuah iwi says she gives her students ‘‘plenty’’ of opportunity to per form at up to three of four concerts a year. ‘‘I give them lots of experi ence in performance which you have to do to build up their confidence,’’ she says.

Annual Environment awards Reestablishing a community walkway, eradicating willows, establishing a native bush area and planting and fencing a waterway have all received funding through the annual Mainpower Hurunui Environment Awards. Dianne and Robert Owen were granted $4000 to reestablish the Ashley forest walkway at 23 Barron Avenue, Ashley Forest for the community. The walkway will be named The Jack Barron Walkway, after the late Jack Barron, who was a ranger with the Forest Service. Dianne and Robert propose spending the grant on native plants, identifying the history of the area, and for projects to support education on enhancing the habitat and biodiversity of the area. Jane Arscott was granted $2000 to help eradicate willows in a gully at 177 Amberley Beach Road.

It will be the first step in a fiveyear plan to restore the gully and a pond area, and is the only stage which will need funding. The second stage will include native plantings and the third will entail fencing the area. Timothy and Elizabeth Miller were granted $1000 to establish a native bush area at 103 BalcairnAmberley Road. It is hoped the area will attract native birds and wildlife which will in turn encourage a diverse ecosystem for native flora and fauna. A large part of the grant will be spent on buying native plant while some will be used for weed and pest control. Tracey and Geoff Topp will use their $3000 grant to plant and fence a water way and new pond at George Street, Rotherham. It is planned to fence the area as soon as possible and then plant in the Spring and Autumn.

Austin 7 Special wins over testing Balcairn trials course Thirty cars, all pre 1960, converged at Balcairn to take part in the 2014 Balcairn Trials on Sunday. Conditions were far better than last year, as surprisingly the off road course was relatively dry, which made for faster times and an earlier finish to the day. The cars came from Canterbury, the West Coast and Nelson. The oldest car was manufactured in 1939 while the youngest dated from the late 1950s. The drivers were as varied as the cars, with women, men, old (over 80 years) and young all taking on the challenges of the course. Without the luxury of four wheel drive, the cars, which are sometimes hybrids, take on a six section course which progressively gets more difficult. Points are scored on each section the further they get, the higher the score. Craig Cowie, from the Banks Peninsula Vintage Car Club (the hosts of the event) says the competition was much fairer this year as there was a more even field for

competitors. Last year the course was very wet, which meant the competitors going later in the day had the disadvantage of the course being cut up by previous vehicles. This year, only a few people had to be pulled out by the local 4WD club who were on hand for any one totally stuck. Man power also came to the rescue in some spots as muscle power pushed some hapless vehicles up the steep bits. Spectators came from the North Island as well as the South to watch the venerable cars take on the challenges of driving in terrain not normally associated with vintage cars. ‘‘There were seven or eight new competi tors this year and while the course was fair, it was good to have a difficult test near the end. About 20 per cent of the drivers made it to the end of the course,’’ says Mr Cowie. Overall winner, was Austin Hyde, driving a 1935 Austin 7 Special, with the runner up, Clarke Mauger driving an Austin Twin Special.

Woes continue Amberley’s drinking water woes are set to continue for some time. The Hurunui District Council has received a report on various options to clean up the water supply to some affected properties. This follows an Amberley Ward committee meeting earlier in the month where members opted to let the matter lie on the table after more than two hours of discussion and presentation. Council utilities and roading manager David Edge was asked by the committee to produce more definitive figures about individual treat ment units which could clean up the water going into affected homes. The full council, after listening to and discussing a similar report from Mr Edge for more than an hour, chose simply to receive it. This effectively puts the matter back into the hands of the ward committee, which will hear again from Mr Edge at its meeting on July 29. Water hardness has been an historical problems in parts of Amberley, while high iron content first became a ‘‘nuisance’’ about two years ago.

As well as staining whitewear and clothing, the high iron content leaves the water with and unpleasant taste and smell. Mr Edge told last week’s meeting the recent appearance of high iron content in water supplies was not confined to Amberley, but was affecting aquifer ‘‘up and down the the east coast’’. What was peculiar, he said, was that water bores within a short distance of each other, and probably drawing from the same aquifer, could produce quite different iron level readings. Looking at the various options presented by Mr Edge, Mayor Winton Dalley said: ‘‘What ever the right fix, is it will likely be an expensive one.’’ However, given the choice between an increase in debt and water quality, the choice would have to be water quality. Opinion among councillors as to the best way forward varied from ‘‘do nothing’’ to ensuring that the infrastructure is in place to meet future needs. Council look again at the issue after it is considered by the ward committee.

Hamish Dobbie

CEO - Hurunui District Council

Increasing compliance costs will fall on our ratepayers Current forecasts have the Hurunui District spending approximately $18 million by 2024 to upgrade our treatment of drinking water to meet the New Zealand Drinking Water Standard set by the Ministry of Health. This is nothing to do with the current issues of water hardness and fluctuating iron levels currently being worked through with Amber ley residents, rather it relates to water being treated to meet an enhanced level of com pliance with microbiological standards to make it even safer to drink. Likewise we are in the process of renewing consents for our effluent treatment in some areas of the district. The recent introduction of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Manage ment 2014 by the Ministry for the Environ ment further raises the regulatory hurdle that has to be cleared in order to achieve and maintain resource consent for effluent dis charge. We are working through the upgrades necessary to comply with the new standard and at this stage it appears the likely medium term cost of compliance with the new requirements is in the order of $5 million. The Ministry of Transport has recently released its draft Government Policy State

ment on Land Transport which details its funding priorities over the next 10 years. It is very clear that funding for local roads will take a back seat to the funding for state highways and public transport. In the Hurunui the financial burden of this policy decision will again fall on local ratepayers. Over the years successive governments have increased the regulatory hurdle forcing local communities into funding an ever increasing regulatory environment. Councils have responded by finding effic iencies, increasing rates, increasing debt and utilising external funding sources. However there is not a bottomless pit of funding available, particularly for smaller rural communities. Some in central government say the answer lies in further amalgamations, increased financial scrutiny of local government and centralised delivery of some services. In my view, taking the local out of local government simply leaves you with govern ment. This may or may not be a bad thing depending on your point of view, but it is unlikely to address the the fundamental issue of increasing compliance costs and who pays.

Dear Editor, Several years ago I visited Seattle. I was in awe of their public transport system, particularly the trains. Imagine you are standing in a quiet station,rows of mini buses, perhaps 2030 strong, awaiting the rush. In a flash the train arrives. Like ants everyone goes straight to their preset minibus and in 3 minutes the station has gone quiet again. This repeats itself throughout rush hour. Such efficiency. Your interview of John McCaskey hits the nail on the head. Cantabrians need to rethink the car as the only way. If commuters knew there are systems in place at the end point of travel, especially if their destination isn’t within walking dis

tance, then they would do it. How hard could it be. Melbourne stations have got it all. They have the drop in drycleaner, tailor, florist, foodcourt, coffee stop and even supermarkets in their stations all to promote rail travel. No excuses why you need a car. The rail lines are already there but sadly sit idle as we likewise do in a traffic jam. It is just the best thing for getting people back into the city. My biggest worry is that the fare has to be realistic. Just my thoughts Robyn. Wonderful article. Ill now go find John’s facebook page. Yours, Cathy Long.

By Senior sergeant Malcolm Johnston A growing demand for both Police services and St John Ambulance over the last few years has been incidents relating to selfharm and suicide. Distraught cries for help, be it via text messages, Facebook or other social media sites, has seen police and ambulance staff often called upon to locate upset and traumatised individuals. While some tell us the threats are just throwaway comments, the fact remains there are a huge number of people really struggling with the challenges life throws at them. Staff see an incredible amount of suffering and this has a real impact, not just on the families, but on our staff as well. I was talking with colleagues from St John Ambulance recently. Both organisations would love to see people seek help and advice before they reach breaking point.

Tell a friend how you feel, go to the white pages on page 4 under personal help services and make a call. There are a lot of organisations out there who want to, and can assist. When Police attend ‘cries for help’ we try to discreetly leave behind an information card with phone numbers to contact when things are getting hard to handle. Lifeline, phone 0800 543 354 is a 24/7 number you can call to get help before that breaking point is reached. On a different note, the police ‘‘fiscal year’’, which ended on June 30, shows crime in North Canterbury is still trending downwards. While the statistics are still to be ratify,d it appears our crime rate is almost 10 percent lower than it was the previous year. Great news for most but still a lot of work to be done. Take care of your neighbours and stay safe.

‘Perpetuating the unsustainable through a flawed rating system’ By Rick Caddick, spokesperson Ratesnomore The recent flurry of activity by central and local government to find ways and means of balancing the income of local authorities with outgoings, only proves the rating system is flawed and inadequate. This realisation is nothing new. Five separate commissions of enquiry from 1945 to 1989 found rating inequitable, and each recommended change, but to date nothing has altered. The late Sir Ross Jansen, probably New Zealand’s most knowledgeable authority on local government, described the rating system as: ‘‘Long past its useby date, unfair and unpopular, hurting the elderly and those families on low incomes.’’ He went on to say ‘‘taxes should be fair, related to ability to pay, hard to avoid, and easy to collect.’’ He added: ‘‘Rates are unfair, unrelated to ability to pay, but are easy to collect.’’ Rates impinge most heavily on homeowners, and on renters who pay via rents, but even more harshly on the elderly on low fixed incomes. Check the overall cost of rates (including GST) as a percentage of household income, compared to the same ratio calculated on the net cost of rates to business incomes. While local government provides to all and sundry, only ratepayers are required to pay and most can’t be squeezed for more.

‘‘Ratesnomore’’ have calculated that if every resident or business enterprise paid a levy of only 2.475% of taxable income into a fund to finance local government, rates could be abolished. The widely held view that the rating system is unsustainable is now a reality, evidenced by Auckland and other councils seeking ways to supplement rates. So far, most suggestions do not face up to the shortcomings of the present rating system, exploring only various ‘‘addons’’ to sup plement rather than change this unfair and failing local tax. Most suggestions, such as increased GST and increased petrol tax that we already pay too much for, will again hit the lower paid hardest, and still unfairly leave ratepayers bearing most of the cost. The alternative income based system would benefit the majority of ratepayers, and boost the economy. Many small businesses forming the backbone of the economy would also benefit. But the opposite would apply to larger enterprises that up to now have paid very little toward supporting the nationwide infra structure on which they depend and within which they operate to produce their profits. Shareholders of our larger enterprises, based overseas, pay next to nothing in local taxes, but would pay a fair share if they were income based. It’s time for real change, not half measures!

Patrons dance the night away at last year’s Spring Ball in Amberley.

Photo: Supplied.

Amberley residents urged to spring into action for pool Amberley and district residents are being urged to get in behind plans for a new indoor pool. Cochair, Graeme Dodd says without the community’s backing the Amberley Community Pool Society will not be able to get Hurunui District Council backing for the project and it will founder. He says the time has come for a real push to ensure the pool gets into the council’s long term plan and stays there and that the community gets behind the society and its fundraising plans. Mr Dodd says the old pool had been given a two to five year life. ‘‘That time is up. If we do nothing a new pool will die a natural death,’’ he says. He is urging people to get their tickets to a planned Spring Ball on August 30 which will give everyone the opportunity to dust off their tuxedoes and ball gowns and enjoy a fantastic formal night out on the tiles.

The highlight of the evening will be the unveiling of concept plans for a pool complex which it is hoped will give the fundraising efforts a real shot of adrenaline and get the community in behind the venture. The pool slipped from the council’s long term plan along with any funding because of a lack of support for the project. The existing pool was built in 1927, and engineering reports all indicated it is not cost effective to repair. A 2012 report estimated the cost of upgrading the existing pool at $1.95 million. An onsite rebuild was estimated at $3 million, and a facility on a new site, $4 million. Mr Dodd says the Spring Ball, which was well supported last year, will once again be held in the Amberley Domain pavilion. Tickets are $50 and are available at the Amberley Superliquor. To find out more email roseglentea@xtra.co.nz or phone Kate on 022 509955.

Oxford strategy enhances centre Improving Oxford’s business environment, access and community facilities are priorities in the town’s strategy. The Oxford Town Centre Strategy, which was due to be discussed at the Oxford Eyre Advisory Board’s meeting this week, identifies three key themes the business and built environment, access to and within the town, and community facilities and open spaces. The strategy addresses community concerns including the availability of parking in the town centre, particularly in the weekends. The volume of traffic along Main Street is consid ered high by many, creating some traffic congestion and road safety concerns. Pedes trian crossing opportunities are also a concern. There are also mixed views about the ‘‘practicality, safety and visibility of the street scape treatments such as traffic islands’’, the strategy says.

Mayor David Ayers says the strategy is ‘‘a critical step’’ for Oxford’s future. ‘‘Oxford has experienced solid growth in recent years. The town centre is seeing rapid change with new commercial developments, and plans are shaping up for community facilities and open spaces in the heart of Oxford. ‘‘It is important to think about the future direction for the town centre holistically and take advantage of opportunities in a planned way.’’ Oxford’s population has risen by more than 20 per cent since 2006 and is expected to pass 4000 by 2031. The town has also seen several significant commercial developments get under way in recent years to meet this growth. The strategy will be presented for adoption at the Waimakariri District Council’s meeting on August 5.

Street owes name to colonist

December 1871 and made top score for Rangiora for that year. In the Lyttelton Times, January 29, 1880, Frederick Thorne’s obituary read: ‘‘We regret to have to record the death of an old and well respected colonist, Mr Frederick Thorne, of Rangiora, who has for some years past been suffering from a painful and lingering disease’’. It went on to say Mr Thorne was a ‘‘thoroughly enterprising colonist in very respect. ‘‘He start a wool scouring and fellmonger ing business, both of which he has carried on very successfully together for some years. ‘‘Mr Thorne was highly respected by all who knew him, and previous to his indispo sition took an active part in all field sports, cricket especially. ‘‘But has of late been compelled to forego all amusements’’.

Rangiora’s Newnham Street owes its name to colonist Frederick William Thorne. The street was originally known as Thorne’s Road until being renamed Newn ham Street in 1879, after Thorne’s hometown Newnham, in Gloucestershire, England. Frederick Thorne was born January 1843 on the family’s farm Arams and today his name lives on in Rangiora in Thorne Place. Frederick Thorne died in Rangiora in 1880 from a form of tuberculosis, aged just 37 years. But in his very short life he became immersed in local Rangiora affairs and established a large tanneryfellmongery near the North Brook stream, a business which employed 25 men and steadily grew to 75. It was called Northbrook Woolwash and in its infancy the operation processed only three bales of wool a day. The wool was hand washed in soap and hot water then rinsed in a large cage suspended in the nearby stream eventually losing 50 percent of its weight. Mr Thorne started tanning in October 1875 and tried Black Birch bark from the Oxford Bush. The tannery shed together with 21 pits, was capable of producing 1400 sides of leather. This peaked after the inauguration of the South Island main trunk railway to Dunedin in 1878. He won first prize for tanned leather at the Rangiora Show in November 1868 and first prize for a bale of scoured wool at the Northern A&P Show in 1869 and again at the Christchurch Shows of 1870 and 1871. In the later years of the 1860s the scour was converted to flaxmilling. Mr Thorne was 21 when he married Elizabeth Watts in Kaiapoi on October 9, 1863, having emigrated sometime in about 1861 to New Zealand. He was elected to the first Rangiora Borough Council after the founding of the borough on May 14 1878 with the first council meeting being held on June 24, 1878. Polling was done by horse and cart using banners and placards. Nine councillors were elected, Thorne polling fourth with 150 votes. Mr Thorne was forced to resign from the council just a year later on June 10 1879 due to his ill health. During his term on council a committee was delegated authority to form a Rangiora Brass Band. A total of 62 pound, nine shillings was given to buy 10 new instruments, which were presented on January 28, 1879. It was not until October 1882 that the band received its Kaiapoi serge uniforms at at the cost of 55 pound. As a result of a public meeting held on Boxing Day, December 1872, Frederick Thorne was elected to a committee tasked with forming a fire brigade to ‘‘combat the increasing number of fires in the district’’. The Rangiora Fire Brigade was eventually formed in 1874. He was a good cricketer and played for the Rangiora Tradesman vs Melford School in

Gingerbread RDA fundraiser North Canterbury Riding for the Disabled is looking forward to a successful fundraiser later this month. Along with more than 50 Riding for the Disabled (RDA) across New Zealand it is participating in the Gingerbread Horse Cam paign . This is the second year of the communityled fundraising campaign, which is based around the idea of individuals, businesses and schools in the local community registering as Ginger bread Horse Bakers, then baking and decorat ing Gingerbread biscuits using items provided in their baking pack. During the week starting July 28, which is NZRDA Awareness Week, bakers are then asked to sell their biscuits to friends, family, workmates and the general public. Funds raised from these sales are later banked with NZRDA and distributed to the nominated RDA Groups, in turn allowing

Riding for the Disabled to continue making a difference to the lives of children and adults in the disabled community. North Canterbury RDA secretary Rita Moore says the group is keen to get involved with a ‘‘fun with a difference campaign’’. ‘‘We’re hoping that the the North Canter bury community will get behind our RDA group by signing up as Gingerbread Horse bakers. ‘‘We are really looking forward to seeing the imaginative decorations that people come up with.’’ NZRDA ambassador Melanie Kerr says that anyone can become a Gingerbread Horse Baker for their local group. ‘‘All you need are the basic skills and creativity to bake and decorate the biscuits, and the motivation to sell them in the community. ‘‘It’s a fun and engaging way to support your local RDA group and to help them to continue

making a positive difference to the lives of our riders. ‘‘We’ve also improved the campaign for 2014, making it easier for new bakers to register and offering new incentives such as prizes and increased rewards.’’ Mrs Moore says that during the awareness week, North Canterbury RDA will have a display in in a shop window in Rangiora. They will also hold a barbecue outside the Warehouse and will be out selling the ginger bread biscuits to the public. A children’s book, Who Can Help Theo, which is about a horse joining RDA, will be on sale at the barbecue on Sunday, July 27. Registrations for the NZRDA Gingerbread Horse campaign are open until Thursday, July 24, 2014 at www.gingerbreadhorse.co.nz.

$1,000 At present overgrown, Rangiora’s Hegan Reserve has potential as a natural park.

Greening Rangiora continues The greening of Rangiora continues with the approval of a draft concept plan for developing Hegan Reserve as a natural park. Developing the concept plan has been a combined effort involving Rangiora New Life and Southbrook Schools under the umbrella of the Waimakariri District Council’s Green Corps Programme. Meeting last week, the Rangiora Community Board noted community consultation on the proposal has started and will be presented at the board’s September meeting. It is hoped this would see a final concept agreed on for implementation. Developing the reserve will be carried out as funding allows, with $70,000 being available now to implement an approved concept plan. Hegan Reserve is is between Gefkins and Denchs Roads and shares boundaries with both schools. It is about 1.3 hectares and Middleb rook Stream runs through it.

It is in an undeveloped state, largely covered by weeds. A working group was set up in 2011 to promote development of the reserve, and its members, including board members Sharleen Stirling and Judith Hoult, have been involved in recent planning. Given the reserve’s location, it was consid ered appropriate to work with the two schools through the Green Corps programme, in preparing an development plan. Earlier this years, students from both schools shared their ideas with the council, their presentations being described as informative, engaging and well thought out. The reserve has been classified as a natural park under the council’s Green Space Activity Management Plan, the primary purpose being to provide opportunities for people to experi ence nature while protecting the natural environment.

Amberley Lodge steeped in history AMBERLEY’S Masonic Lodge has gone through some highs and some lows over its 132-year history, but today remains hail and hearty, committed to doing good works in the community. Its membership is steady and and its Lawcocks Road building is almost as sound as it was when built in 1925. Lodge secretary Don Palmer relates a little of its history. It is quite likely that many Amber ley residents do not know too much about the lodge, although it has had a presence in the town for 132 years. An inaugural meeting of inter ested men was held in the Crown hotel, in February 1882. A lodge was formed the follow ing month, and a Charter from the Grand lodge of England dated July 24, 1883, was eventually received. This Charter hangs in the lodge room to this day, as it is Masoni cally illegal to hold a Masonic meeting without displaying a Char ter. The lodge met in the Anglican Sunday School until 1891 when it moved to a purposebuilt wooden building in river Road, now Lawcocks road, where the existing lodge building stands. Freemasonry as we know it today began almost 300 years ago with the formation of the United Grand lodge of England. It is obvious that the concept is much older, having apparently descended from the stonemasons who built the ancient castles and cathedrals throughout Europe and in England Scotland, Wales and Ireland. The key principles of charity, integrity and fellowship endure. It is a men only organisation, with

The present Amberley lodge building built in 1925. discussion or comment on politics or religion being strictly forbidden, It is likely that this is what has facilitated the spread of Free masonry throughout much of the world. As charity is one of tenets of Freemasonry, the Amberley Lodge makes donations to local deserving causes. This year, $1000 was given to the Amberley Community Trust

to upgrade the heating and general comfort in the community bus. Last year a similar sum was given to Amberley Preschool to help buy equipment for the new build ing. Over the years, donations have been made to many local causes. As there are more than 8000 Freemasons in New Zealand, it has been possible over the years, to

The Amberley Lodge meeting room. give millions of dollars to worthy causes, especially university scholarships and research. Freemasonry is open to all men over the age of 21, regardless of race, religion or social status. The benefits of belonging are somewhat intangible, but do include the fellowship of like minded men from all walks of life, gaining a working knowledge of

meeting procedure selfconfidence in public and impromptu speaking, general selfdiscipline and respect for authority. Interlodge visiting is popular. Consequently one’s circle of friends and acquaintances become extensive. The Amberley Lodge meets on the second Monday of each month, except January.

Hurunui recognises community service

Winton Dalley (centre), with James Drewery, John Beattie, Bruce Gardiner and David Lott. for what most 85yearolds would be capable of and willing to do’’. Mr Beattie gave 23 years service to the Hanmer Springs Volunteer Fire Brigade, preferring to toil in the back seat or driving. A keen hunter, he introduced young men to the outdoors and frequently took visitors ‘‘over the back’’ for a hunt. He spent five years with the local search and rescue team, having an intimate knowledge of the valleys and peaks in the Lewis, St James and Molesworth areas. He spent about eight years as an active member of the Hanmer Springs band ‘‘The Notables’’, which play at a number of charitable venues around the district and is a past member of the Amuri Players both onstage and behind the scenes. Mr Beattie was an inaugural member of the North Canterbury Child Cancer Foundation com mittee, serving five years on the board. He initiated the popular Child Cancer Foundation Golf tournament in Hanmer Springs and for 10 years contributed to fundraising and organising activities around this. He was also actively involved in fundraising for the thermal pools complex prior to them being taken over by the council. Mr Beattie dabbled in politics, serving a term on the Hanmer Springs Community board and was a member of the Hanmer Springs centennial organising committee. His nomination as a ‘‘worthy recipient’’ says Mr

Beattie was a ‘‘quiet achiever who beavers way in the background making little fuss but creating significant change and contribution to our com munity’’. Mr Drewery has a keen social conscience, always helping others and ‘‘if there is a need, James Drewery will help’’, says his award citation. ‘‘He is truly a community spirited person. You can always count on James’’. Mr Drewery has a highly successful building firm, has become a highly qualified and valued craftsman in the local building industry and takes this professionalism beyond the work place into the community. He is a family man and he has a passion for things military. His nomination comes following 10 years organising, on behalf of the Lions Club of Amberley district, the community Anzac Day service he is responsible for in consultation with RSA members. Mr Drewery deleted the guest speaker spot and replaced it with a symbolic play involving Lions and others from the community, including students in

line with the club’s aims of remembering, educating and involving youth. He also plans and manages an Anzac Day poem competition within local primary schools. He wrote, produced and starred in the 2014 play at the Anzac Day service and built scale models of the props used. Mr Drewery’s nomination by his Lions’ club, was made in ‘‘recognition of his selfless service to the Anzac Day celebrations and in particular his work to bring this service into high regard’’. Mr Munnerley has made a significant contri bution to the teaching and learning of students at Hurunui College. He sets high professional standards for his teaching roles, has a passion for the school and its library, which progressed into a community library. He is in charge of information technology and he shares his extensive computer technology with the community, assisting the older members of the Hawarden area. Mr Munnerley plays big roles in school drama productions, acting as stage manger for many earlier shows and lately as a cast member. The Hawarden Swimming Club has also benefitted from his volunteer services for a number years, including checking the chlorine levels every three hours during the swimming season and providing the daytoday maintenance which includes vacuuming and backwashing the water to keep it pristine for both school and community use. He has provided countless hours to the Learn to Swim week where he has coached learners to be more confident in and around the water. Mr Munnerley is a member of the newly revived Little Unity Theatre group and he has video recorded and edited special events in the commun ity. His community commitments include the Hawarden Volunteer Fire Brigade, quiz master for fundraising events for the school and library, is a long time member of the Hawarden Bridge club and regularly transports more mature members to and from their weekly game. Mr Munnerley is also an active member of the Hawarden Bowling Club and has developed a computer programme for use at the Hawarden Agricultural and Pastoral Show.

Five Hurunui residents were recognised for services to the community recently. Bruce Gardner (Cheviot), James Drewery (Amberley), John Beattie (Hanmer Springs), David Lott (Waiau) and Paul Munnerley (Huru nui) were presented with community service awards by Hurunui Mayor Winton Dalley. Mr Gardner has given more three decades of service to various Cheviot organisations, including the rugby club, cricket club, the squash club, and the Lions. A talented country and western singer, he performs at many community events and travels the South Island singing in retirement homes, donating the proceeds to the Cheviot St John. His involvement with the rugby club includes being secretary for 19 years, senior coach for five years and a referee for six. He also wrote and published a book to mark the club’s centennial and is a life member. Mr Gardner joined the cricket club in 1981, playing regularly until 2010 and still fills in occasionally at age 67. A life member, he was president for five years and is now the groundsman giving more than 200 hours a year to the job. He has also been a Lions member for 38 years, holding many positions including president, secre tary and treasurer and being active in fundraising events including the Nape Nape fishing competi tion, the Kaiwara Classic cycle race and local auctions. Mr Lott grew up at Lees Valley, near Oxford, before cutting his teeth on bulldozers in the early stages of what was New Zealand’s largest power station the 320 megawatt Roxburgh Dam on the Clutha River. Since moving to Waiau, he has seldom missed a Waiau Citizens Association meeting in the past 30 years. His bulldozer skills have been of immense benefit to the Waiau community and he has been described as ‘‘the township’s protector’’ through his Waiau River protection work, assisting the Huru nui District Council working alongside Environ ment Canterbury river protection officer Geoff Scholes since 19871988. Every time there is a major flood, Mr Lott and his son Bill monitor the river day and night and if necessary call a small group of volunteers to work with them to keep the river at bay. Mr Lott’s community involvement also helped set up the Waiau township water committee, creating a water supply for the township, stepping down last year after 30 years. He has been described as a ‘‘very proud Waiau community member that prefers to work silently in the background with no fuss, going beyond the call

Baby beanies and mittens ready for Tanzania. Photo: Alan and Joan Orchard.

Beanies and mittens for babes Waimakariri residents have done their bit to help premature babies in Tanzania. Five North Canterbury knitters combined to knit 62 baby beanies and mittens in just four days, to support an appeal to help improve the survival rate of new born Tanzanian babies. The appeal was launched by Queensland midwife and helicopter pilot Jan Becker, who travelled to Tanzania with her daughter Chase to assist at a maternity hospital for two weeks, with the aim of improving the survival rate through education, community support and health. Mrs Becker owns and operates Becker Helicop ters at Marcoola Airport in Queensland with her husband Mike. The North Canterbury connection is through their employee Perry Orchard, whose parents Alan and Joan live in Rangiora. ‘‘Perry asked if we could help in any way,’’ Joan says. ‘‘They particularly wanted beanies and mittens for premature babies as there are no incubators and the babies are wrapped in warm clothing then placed on the mother’s chest to keep warm.’’

Alan then contacted Judith Chapman, of Rangiora, who arranged help from fellow Rangi ora women Mary Busch and Mary Jarden, Bevan Dunlop, of Oxford, and Margaret O’Callahan, of Christchurch. ‘‘Within a matter of four days they had 62 babies beanies and mittens finished. These were then forwarded at no cost to the Beckers, where Jan had amassed a quantity of baby wear, much needed medical supplies and tuition material all kindly donated along with money,’’ Joan says. ‘‘It was necessary for Jan and Chase to take their own gloves, masks, alcohol wipes, sanitisers and the like.’’ Conditions were described as primitive with eight beds to a room and four to five mothers to a bed in the postnatal area. Babies are two to a cot, with 80100 babies born daily. Some babies are even delivered on bare floors. Mrs Becker has set up a website www.midwifev ision.com, with several photos of babies in their new beanies and mittens, along with lists of those who made donations, including the North Canter bury knitters.

Keeping Teddy out of trouble popular with young and old Nearly 300 children, parents and grand parents learned how to keep teddy ‘‘out of trouble’’ last week. Waimakariri District Council injury pre vention coordinator Sarah Lodge says the annual Kidsfest ‘‘Teddy Stays Out of Trou ble’’ event ‘‘was bigger and better’’ than last year with a good crowd turning out at Rangiora Baptist Church last Wednesday. ‘‘This event aims to make safety fun. Children are encouraged to bring along their teddy to teach it how to stay safe. Along the way their teddy gets to meet a police officer, fire fighters, surf lifesavers and ambulance officers.’’ This year council staff teamed up with Plunket to make the event as much about health as safety, with Plunket nurses on hand to give ‘‘Well Child’’ checks, check car seats and give advice. St John brought along a friend, ‘‘Amby the Ambulance’’, showed children inside an actual ambulance and the kids enjoyed getting themselves and their teddies bandaged. Lesley Ottey promoted poisonous plants awareness and Constable Ken Terry pro moted ‘‘keeping ourselves safe’’. Rachel’s

House used a bubble machine to promote their service, Plunket promoted parenting resources and the Rangiora Library provided story time. Dudley Aquatics promoted their swim classes and the Waikuku Beach Surf Life Saving Club promoted their club and beach safety. ‘‘At one point Okey Dokey the clown fell in the water and had to be rescued,’’ Sarah says. ‘‘As usual the fire truck stole the show with its sirens and lights. The fire service had an interactive stand using tunnels and fire fighter hats. The fire fighters are always impressed that whenever the children sit in the fire truck they always grab their seatbelt.’’ There were resources for parents, such as paracetamol magnets, while children were kept occupied with facepainting and colour ing in. Volunteers also walked the room interviewing parents about their views on child safety. ‘‘Parents are surrounded by safety mes sages and it is a good opportunity to find out what concerns them most.’’

Mums & Bubs Fitness Program with a Difference What mum doesn’t want to feel their best, and get back into shape after having children? But finding time to exercise with a new baby can be challenging to say the least! Wheelie Fit Mums™ is the most unique, and flexible exercise programme for mums where you can work out with your baby in a stroller. Whether you have a newborn baby, or an older pre-school age child, as long as they can fit in a stroller, you can participate in the programme. It is not just about getting in shape, it’s about taking some time out for you and putting yourself higher on your own priority list. It’s a place where you can socialize, be with your baby, make new friends and get a workout all at the same time.

“This is NOT a bootcamp or some regular group training class. Most of those classes are high impact and involve movements that are not catered to the specific stages of postpartum exercise and as a consequence, many women tend to do more harm to themselves than good. We can guarantee here at Wheelie Fit Mums that your safety is of paramount importance”, says co-owner Roddy Frost. “This is a very specific time in your life where the fitness training you get needs to be matched to your specific post natal needs. Exercise has many benefits postnatally, but you need to be under the guidance of someone who has comprehensive knowledge in this area. All of our trainers are qualified in post-natal exercise and are

mums themselves so you can be assured when you undertake a Wheelie Fit Mums session, you will be in a safe and appropriate exercise environment. Our main focus is to deliver a fun, effective safe exercise programme to look after and improve your postnatal fitness without any damage and injury”

Is it just me? Is it just me or does it seem a strange winter to date? Stiff frosts seem to alternate with lots of rain, with some pleasant days thrown in for good measure. I mowed the lawn on the winter solstice, it was that mild. As I write this snowflakes are falling. In a word things are changeable. This extends to our life and work. A former boss had an often repeated mantra that the one constant is change. At times change can threaten to overwhelm and we long for a point of stability in our lives. The Christian hope is simply that God is unchanging in his character and in his goodness towards us. If we wanted confirma tion of what God is like we need look no further than the life of Jesus Christ. His love of people does not falter or change and provides that point of stability for our lives. It is not dependent on who we are or are not and what we have done, it is uncon

Artist’s Eye Gallery could be set to close The next exhibition at the Artist’s Eye Gallery in Rangiora could be the last. Gallery owner Penny Wright says ongoing health issues mean she will probably have to shut up shop at the Kippenberger Avenue gallery as she can no longer continue as a sole trader. She loves running the gallery, being sur rounded by amazing art and interacting with artists and the public but the time has come to make a decision about its future. ‘‘Unless another group or individual comes on board I can no longer sustain the workload as a sole trader and further develop the revenue streams under development to ensure the financial viability of the gallery,’’ she says. She has been investigating converting the gallery into a community gallery via a charitable trust so it can continue as a Rangiora art centre and is keen to hear from any interested parties or individuals who may be interested in seeing the gallery continue. Ms Wright says much of the establishment work is already done and a new website is generating hundreds of viewers. ‘‘A gallery is an ideal use of such a historic building. It would be a loss to the community if the doors have to be closed as it has been such a positive and inspiring place for people to visit.’’ Ms Wright says the public have been very complimentary, not only on the quality and range of art on display, but also about the ambience of the gallery with its subtle lighting and multiple spaces which allow different activities / displays to be happening in different rooms. At present, there are the equivalent of four small exhibitions, including the gallery’s art studio tutors, ‘‘Winter Wonders’’, a solo exhibition and the stock section. If ‘‘Fantasia let your imagination soar’’ is to be her last exhibition, Ms Wright says she will go out with a bang.

Artist’s Eye Gallery on Kippenberger Avenue could be set to close. ‘‘Some fantastic guest artists are already on board and I have a couple of special ideas I will run with to ensure the gallery goes out on a positive note,’’ says Ms Wright. An alternative venue is being investigated if necessary to ensure art lessons and the next weekend workshop planned for October will still go ahead.

Farmers advised to be aware of Tb Whether a farmer has one cattle beast or 1000 they still need to protect their herds from Tb infection and be aware of the risks. In the latest update from TB Action North Canterbury/Marlborough, the TB Free committee says while there has been some great results with the incidence of bovine Tb decreasing in the areas, they are not free of the disease and wild life may still infect herds in risk areas. The committee is encouraging farmers to use a risk assessment to make sure they have covered all factors before buying, selling or moving stock. Assessing risk includes finding out the testing history before purchase, the disease status, finding out where the disease control areas are (stock in movement control areas are at higher risk of wild animal related Tb infections). Information on how often an area is tested can be found on www.tbfree.co.nz/dcamap. The last risk assessment is finding out movement behaviour, finding out how often the seller trades livestock and from which areas. Information on where the stock came from and if a third party was involved should also be considered. This also applies to grazing blocks. Wildlife Tb infection has been successfully eradicated from areas south of the Hurunui River, the lower Wairau and the lower Awatere, not including the coastal strip. In North Canterbury, the programme aims to clear another 10,000 hectares by 2015.

Get Canterbury free of TB

Farmers are encouraged to assess risk factors for Tb when purchasing cattle, like checking the Tb status of the herd before purchase. The 2014/2015 pest control programme for North Canterbury/Marlborough is likely to cost about $4.75 million. Ninetythree and a half percent of pest control will be ground based while sixandahalf percent will be aerial drops. During the 1990s there were 200 infected herds in the North Canterbury/Marlborough area and as of June this year there are four. By 2026 TB Free NZ hopes to eradicate 450,000ha of the disease in the North Canterbury/ Marlborough regions. This will mean more herds can be added to the 4700 herds that are now on reduced Tb testing due to efforts in eradication. In New Zealand, possums are targeted for control. While ferrets can pass Tb to deer and cattle, it is not possible for cost effective control of them. Surveys on ferrets can be used as an indication of infection in possums as ferrets will scavenge on dead possums. If the possums are infected, the ferrets will also be infected. There needs to be more than three ferrets per hectare to maintain Tb in the population and numbers naturally decline in winter.

Would you like to be part of a team working towards Canterbury becoming TB free? We are taking registrations of interest to appoint a representative for the Canterbury TBfree committee.

With sustainability and an environmental focus becoming more prevalent in the management plan of farmers, Beef + Lamb New Zealand is holding four workshops in the Hurunui district this month. The Land and Environment Planning (LEP) workshops will be held in Waiau, Cheviot, Culverden and Hawarden. The workshops will encompass the first level of three in the LEP tool kit, developed by Beef + Lamb NZ, which is the most critical one for farmers to develop a basis they can then work from. The first level looks at farm mapping and risk assessment methods, looking at each farm’s strengths and weaknesses. The farm map is used to identify areas of natural resources that are protected and enhanced as well as those where action needs to be taken to address land and environmen tal challenges. In the risk assessment, each farmer will look at the environmental and land challen ges common to most sheep, beef and deer farms. Challenges may include phosphorous loss, soil erosion, faecal bacteria, nitrogen losses, production capacity and the ongoing sustainability of the farm. As each farmer and each farm is unique, the tool kit allows the plan to be tailored for each specific property and farm management programme. The third part of the the workshop will look at a response plan. This is a personalised action plan that outlines what will be done to address the challenges identified on a particu lar farm and the priority they take. Beef + Lamb NZ northern South Island extension manager Ian Knowles says the workshops are free and well worth going to,

The environmental issues facing sheep, beef and deer farms and how it can be addressed will be the focus at Beef + Lamb NZ’s LEP workshops. Photo: Amanda Bowes. given today’s farming climate. The workshops will identify land and environmental issues on the farm, take stock of land, soil and water resources, assess production opportunities and environmental risks and develop an action plan. The first workshop will be held in Waiau, on July 21 at the Amuri Golf Club, in Cheviot, on July 22 at the St John rooms, in Hawarden, on July 25 at the fire station rooms, and in Culverden, on July 30 at the St John rooms. All workshops start at 9.30am and finish at 1pm. Registration is essential and can be made by emailing Ian.knowles@beeflambnz.com.

ONLY THE BEST WILL DO

The TBfree committee is made up of farmer volunteers that meet three times a year to monitor the Canterbury TB plan and gain community support for the TBfree New Zealand National Bovine TB Plan.

Wool levy vote coming Joint effort to tackle environment After many years with no wool levy, farmers are being asked to vote in a referendum to reinstate one. A pan sector group, The Wool Levy Group, will hold the refer endum, which will ask farmers to vote on bringing in a levy of between 2 and 5 cents per kilo of greasy or slipe wool at its first point of sale. Several years ago, farmers voted to ditch the wool levy while retaining the meat levy, but a recommendation by an inde pendent review has said grower support is needed to establish a levy funded organisation to represent the wool industry. The Wool Levy Group is predicting a $4.6 million cash injection from wool growers based on three cents a kilo. If growers do decide to bring back a levy, a new industry body will fund several activities to stimu late the growth of wool sales. Communication, education and innovation are the three primary areas that will be addressed if the levy goes ahead. The Wool Levy Group says it would bring in research and development that commercial companies aren’t doing and incorporate farmer initiatives which are not able to be funded by individuals as part of their innovation and also encourage the development of new products and find alternative markets to create new spaces for wool. The Wool Levy Group is made

Off the sheep’s back... Farmers will vote during September and October on whether to reintroduce a wool levy. File photo. up of individuals who all have different expertise in the wool industry. Chairwoman Sandra Faulkner is a member of the Federated Farmers meat and fibre execu tive. Also in the group are Federated Farmers meat and fibre immediate past chairwoman Jeanette Maxwell, Cavalier Cor poration chief executive Colin McKenzie, WRONZ chairman Derrick Millton, Primary Wool

Coop director Hamish de Lautour and Derek Daniell, of Wairere Rams. Referendum voting papers will be sent by electionnz.com to sheep farmers registered on the Beef + Lamb New Zealand database from September 10 this year. Farmers will be able to vote by post, fax or internet via a link on www.votewool.co.nz when voting opens. Voting will be open until October 10.

Rural women seek family stories Rural Women New Zealand is inviting people to get creative by writing short stories and taking photos and videos to showcase New Zealand farming life today. ‘‘We are running the competition in conjunc tion with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to tell the stories behind the primary products we grow on our farms,’’ says Rural Women NZ national president Wendy McGowan. MPI will use some of the photos, videos and stories to promote the New Zealand primary industry brand and our rural values. ‘‘We encourage people to get their creative juices flowing to share the challenges and triumphs of farming and today’s sustainable business practices,’’ says Wendy McGowan. ‘‘We hope to see entries that reflect our care of the land and our animals, and the skills and

ingenuity of the people that make New Zealand’s primary industries so successful.’’ Rural Women NZ also hopes the competi tion will highlight the opportunities for great careers that are available in the sector. The competition is being run as part of Rural Women NZ’s celebrations to mark the 2014 International Year of Family Farming. ‘‘Stories are powerful, and we have some great farming stories to tell,’’ says Wendy McGowan. There are five entry categories: Women and men at work on the farm, farm machinery and farm innovation, animals, children and rural communities. Entries close on November 1 and the competition is open to everyone. Entry forms and further information can be found at www.ruralwomen.org.nz/iyff.

Sheep and beef far mers will have a stronger voice in the regions on environ mental issues, through an agree ment between Beef + Lamb New Zealand and Federated Far mers. Beef + Lamb NZ has added a regional policy capacity to its national and interna tional policy activities directed at sustain ability through a con tract with Federated Farmers, to use their regional policy net work, Beef + Lamb NZ chief executive Dr Scott Champion says. ‘‘Federated Far mers has an excellent regional network and rather than duplicate that, we have reached an agreement to use their resources on regional environmen tal issues. We think this is the most efficient way of using sheep and beef far mers’ money to strengthen our voice in this important area.’’ This initiative fol lows the recent appointment of a Beef + Lamb NZ environment exten sion manager, who

will oversee extension activity to provide sheep and beef far mers with the tools to manage their farms more sustainably. Federated Farmers chief executive Conor English says he is

pleased to be col laborating with Beef + Lamb NZ. ‘‘It makes a lot of sense to use our specialist knowledge and resources to cover off this area for sheep and beef far

mers. ‘‘We also see this as an opportunity for Beef + Lamb NZ and Federated Farmers to develop joint policy and to work together for the good of all farmers.’’

The Hurunui club is to be congratulated on the manner in which they hosted the representa tive fixtures against Ellesmere last Saturday. It was a big day for the club. One Hurunui club stalwart commented that he had never seen the car park so full. The grounds were in excellent condition, facilitating a high standard of rugby in all four matches. While the Hurunui club only plays in the local division two grade, it had three players, Brian Anderson (who was the North Canterbury captain), Dave Kenny and Cale Dobby named in the North Canterbury side. Only one club, Glenmark, had a greater representation than this, which suggests Hurunui should be

able to be competitive if it enters the division 1 competition next season. It also bodes well for the club that for the past two seasons the club’s under 18 team has been unbeaten at under 18 level, so there should be some talented young players coming through to the senior ranks soon. Having said that, on Sunday, the Hurunui division two side went down 253 to Woodend to surren der the lead in the Mike Greer Homes North Canterbury Division Two competition. It could well be a different story come finals time, though. All JAB grades resume on Saturday after the school holiday break and there will be some intriguing matchups, especially in the lower competition grades.

Sailing success after 47 years The prestigious Leander Sailing Trophy has returned to North Canterbury for the first time in nearly five decades. Waimakariri Sailing Club mem ber Nick James (skipper) and crew Doug Gale (Naval Point) won the eight race series at Lyttelton earlier this year sailing Massive Attack. The Leander Trophy is sailed for annually and was last won in 1967 by Waimakariri Club members Gavin and Colin Cook. The North Canterbury Club also took out the honours in 1963 and 1965. The Trophy owes it heritage to a

crew member who served on HMNZS Leander and bought the crest home from Boston in the United States, where Leander went for extensive repairs after damage by enemy action in Kula Gulf in the Coral Sea during World War Two. The crest was from the stoker deck and mounted on the cenotaph. It was dedicated at the first Leander Trophy presentation in 1951 by the Naval Chaplain: ‘‘In the proud and honoured memory of those New Zealanders who made the supreme sacrifice while serving in His Majes ty’s ships 193945.’’

Southbridge Shield returns south By Peter Williams North Canterbury’s tenure of the Southbridge Shield proved to be shortlived with Ellesmere reclaiming the prized trophy at Culverden last Saturday. While the visitors deserved to win, the final scoreline of 293 certainly flattered them and did not reflect the wholehearted effort put in by the North Canterbury squad. It did not bode well for North Canterbury when Ellesmere’s talented fullback Mark Mait land crossed for an early try, but for the remainder of the first half North Canterbury’s forward pack earned the lions’ share of possession. Props Pete Manahi and Hamish Black put in the hard yards. Flanker Matt King and No 8 and captain Brian Anderson were never far from the ball, while lock Dave Kenny was impressive, gaining a good share of lineout ball and being mobile around the field. The team tactics were to move the ball wide, even when on defence, but the Ellesmere defensive line held firm. North Canterbury’s reluctance to kick for position proved costly, as mistakes inevitably came and the trusty boot of Ellesmere’s goal kicker Shannon Donald landed three firsthalf penalties to stretch the lead to 140 at the break. Sean Thompson, for North Canterbury, and Donald exchanged a penalty each in the third quarter. Then came North Canterbury’s best play of the match as they launched a prolonged and lengthy attack on the Ellesmere tryline. A try at that point looked likely and would have given North Canterbury some momentum, but the Ellesmere defence stood firm. Then the heart seemed to ebb from the North Canterbury effort. The impressive Maitland crossed for his second try, and very nearly had a third immediately afterwards. With time up on the clock, Ben Stuart was gifted a late try and Ellesmere’s celebrations began. COLTS: Ellesmere 32 (Max Lum (2), Martin

North Canterbury under 18 goal-kicker Scott Allin lands a late penalty in the 27-25 win against Ellesmere. Souville and Cameron Sheat tries, Callum McKenzie 3 conversions, 2 penalties) beat North Canterbury 17 (Jeff Bigwood try, Ricky Allin 3 penalties). Ellesmere scored two tries in the final five minutes to retain the Munro Shield, only claiming the lead late in the game. The visitors dominated the final 25 minutes, after a prolonged delay due to an injury to North Canterbury prop Carlos Knight. His departure with a broken ankle marked a transformation in the Ellesmere side, which trailed 1710 at the time. Two try prop forward Maxwell Lum was a towering figure for Ellesmere while replacement halfback Cameron Sheat was a lively contributor. Jeff Bigwood scored the North Canterbury try

dashing 60 metres from broken play, and the team was well served by halves pairing Freeman Eder and Ricky Allin, while Hamish Collings and Nic Chinnery had strong games among the pack. UNDER 18: North Canterbury 27 beat Ellesmere 25 The under 18 team kept North Canterbury’s flag flying with the closest of victories. Ellesmere was first out of the blocks and led at one stage by 143, however by halftime North Canterbury had levelled at 17 all. North Canterbury then gained the upper hand and got out to a 2720 lead, before Ellesmere scored wide out right on full time. However, the conversion was unsuccessful giving North Canterbury a two point win. Try scorers for North Canterbury were hooker Brodie Terris, halfback Brendan Maw and lock Liam Stevenson, who had a particularly fine game. The whole North Canterbury forward pack performed well while Matt Hickey and Harry RetallickBrown were an effective midfield combination. At first five Scott Allin directed play well and converted all three tries as well as kicking two penalties. In the end it was his goalkicking that was the difference between the two teams. UNDER 16: Ellesmere 29 beat North Canter bury 20 There seemed to be a marked, and surprising, size difference between these two teams and it did not take Ellesmere long to establish its dominance up front. By halftime it had already scored four tries, three of them to the forwards and established a 240 lead, before stretching out to 290 soon after the resumption. However, the speedy North Canterbury backs, led by Dante Love, mounted a comeback. Love scored two tries in an impressive perform ance while Jordan Gray and Josh Merrin also scored, putting considerable respectability into the North Canterbury effort.

St Arnaud is at the heart of the Tasman District’s winter playground and is the gateway to the Nelson Lakes National Park. Nelson Lakes National Park is found at the northern end of the Southern Alps and about 80km southwest of Nelson, and offers many of the attractions and activities expected of an Alpine Environment. Its stunning natural beauty and location, close to the District’s only ski fields (Rainbow Ski Area) provide great draw cards. The magnificent National Park, including

Lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa, offers great opportunities for tramping, swimming, fishing, kayaking and boating. For the angler, the rivers in the area provide some of the best trout fishing in New Zealand and the surging rivers provide plenty of rushing adrenaline for kayakers and rafters.

Porika Hills is ideal grazing land for sheep and beef production, deer breeding, finishing and dairy support with further development options for the discerning farmer. Mix of contour with heavy flats, rolling downs and some steeper country with the boundaries defined with native bush. Approximately 100 hectares deer fenced which is ongoing. Spacious and sunny two storey home with up to five bedrooms, dual living,

Names Change. It’s what stays the same that counts.

two bathrooms and double garage. Range of ancillary buildings including three stand raised board wool shed, fully covered sheep yards, deer handling complex, implement shed and hay storage. Great opportunity for a younger farmer to get his teeth into a farm with a production upside and with the ability to pursue a number of farming options, good reliable rainfall area, good facilities for sheep, beef and deer farming operations. 1 1/2 hours comfortable drive to Blenheim, slightly lesser drive to Nelson. Great recreational opportunities, excellent location for the great outdoors enthusiasts. A must view property for the discerning rural investor.
