Rare birds’ breeding ground at risk 4WD vehicles and motorbikes continue to put endangered birds at risk in the AshleyRakahuri River. Shelley Topp reports on efforts by the Ashley-Rakahuri Rivercare group to work with river users to keep the birds safe.
T
he fragile breeding ground of three endangered birds is once again being put at risk by 4WD vehicles and motorcyclists driving along the braided AshleyRakahuri River in North Canterbury. It’s a continuing problem, despite many notices asking people using the river area to take care not to disrupt the birdlife. With the start of the breeding season approaching in August the AshleyRakahuri Rivercare group is again asking for restrictions to be strictly observed along the river. The group has made submissions to the Environment Canterbury Long Term Plan, and also to the Waimakariri Zone Committee, asking for restrictions to be put in place. While these three endangered birds may not necessarily be household names to most New Zealanders, they all have unique characteristics that make them ornithological treasures. They breed only on the stony braided rivers in the South Island, and their numbers are in serious decline. The blackbilled gull is only found in New Zealand and is one of the most endangered gull

species on the planet. The wrybill is the only bird in the world that has a laterally curved bill always to the right which it uses to extract insect larvae from under riverbed stones. The blackfronted tern is a beautifullooking little bird with a pale grey body, short legs, a black cap on it’s head, a white cheek stripe, and a bright orange bill. ‘‘Unfortunately these birds are not well known. ‘‘If they were some of our more wellknown endangered birds, such as the kiwi, there would be an outcry about this,’’ said Geoff
Swailes, an AshleyRakahuri Rivercare Group committee member. The group hopes to meet 4WD enthusiasts to sort out an amicable solution to the problem that will protect the birds’ habitat, but still allow vehicle use along other parts of the river. An amicable solution had recently been reached with kite surfers, as part of discussions around the Waimakariri District Council proposed Pegasus Bay bylaw consultations. The arrangement protects the birds, but still allows some kite surfing within the AshleyRakahuri estuary with
agreed limits. A similar approach has been made to microlight aviators using the airspace above the river. Microlight aircraft have been photographed flying very low over the estuary with the birds just below them clearly stressed and frightened by the big bird above them. Mr Swailes said the group did not want to see anyone banned from using the river. It simply wants to increase awareness about what a special place the area is and ensure restrictions are put in place to allow the bird population there to thrive for everyone to enjoy.

The AshleyRakahuri Rivercare group of volunteers was formed in 1999 to protect birds and their habitat in the riverbed. It works closely with the Department of Conservation, Environment Canterbury and the council. Continued Page 2

A mock tsunami exercise on Friday has been declared a success. Waimakariri District Council emergency management advisor Brennan Wiremu says while feedback is still being received, council staff ‘‘achieved what we set out to achieve’’ in its most ambitious Civil Defence exercise yet. Civil Defence controller Nick Harrison says the scenario chosen for the annual Exercise Pandora was, following a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Chile, of a tsunami with three to five metre waves striking the South Island coastline. Under this scenario, Waimakariri’s three beach settlements The Pines / Kairaki Beach, Woodend Beach and Waikuku Beach would be unsafe, he says. However, council staff, police, fire and civil defence volunteers would have 12 to 17 hours warning to organise the evacuation of around 1300 residents. An operations centre was

established in the council chambers in Rangiora on Friday morning, with council staff, Rangiora police and volunteers broken into four groups communications and intelligence, operations, welfare and logistics. In a real event the Red Cross, Ministry
of Social Development staff and the Salvation Army would also be involved. An operations centre was established in Rangiora during the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes. In the evening Mr Wiremu says fire and civil defence volunteers ‘‘evacuated’’ the
1300 residents in less than two hours and set up two evacuation centres. ‘‘It was an opportunity to test three aspects our operations centre, the evacuation people and welfare centre volunteers, and our equipment. To try and evacuate three communities, that’s quite an optimistic ask. All three aspects were tested and challenged, so overall we call that a success. We expect there were problems, but now we know that we can bring those agencies together and get those people out of dangerous areas in time. And our public warning system works, which is very pleasing.’’ Mr Wiremu says more than 100 people ‘‘registered’’ at the two evacuation centres at the Kaiapoi Rugby Club and the Woodend Community Centre. He says if a tsunami happened the entire South Island coastline would be under threat and other councils including Hurunui, Kaikoura and Christchurch were developing emergency management plans, with each council organising its own Exercise Pandora scenario during June and July.

The AshleyRakahuri Rivercare group is in the top three in New Zealand for its conservation efforts in protecting rare and endangered birds. It reached the finals of the 2015 Green Ribbon Awards which are aimed at recognising the outstanding work by individuals, community groups and businesses in protecting New Zealand’s environment. While the group did not win the ‘Protecting our Biodiversity’ category, it was in the top three out of 15 contestants. It was won by ‘Project Crimson’.
Geoff Swailes and Joan Miles from the group attended the awards at Parliament. ‘‘It was a real privilege to be there among the country’s top conservation leaders and practitioners,’’ said group secretary, Mrs Miles. ‘‘The fact that we got where we did against such tough competition is a real feather in the group’s cap,’’ she says. Principal trapper, Geoff Swailes, says the project started 25 years ago by NZ Forest Products and has had major support from business and the Government. The overall winner was Project Janszoon in Abel Tasman National Park
Overseas photographers visit river From Page 2 Steve Attwood, a member of the group, who is also a writer, keen tramper, ornithologist and photographer, considers the AshleyRakahuri River area to be an ecological gem. He has taken many photographers from all around the world to visit the AshleyRakahuri River area and all consider it a special place that is unique
worldwide. ‘‘There are far mightier braided rivers in Canterbury, but the modestly sized AshleyRakahuri is a taonga (treasure) of a value disproportionate to its size. ‘‘For the most part the Ashley Rakahuri weaves through highly modified rural farmland where indigenous natural New Zealand has almost been scrubbed from existence.

But the braided river channels of the river itself are a largely unmodified natural environment that has been a unique feature of the Canterbury plains for eons,’’ Mr Attwood said. Braided rivers were rare in the rest of the world with New Zealand considered a hot spot. ‘‘Canterbury is the centre of that, with 59% of the country’s braided river surface area,’’ he said.

an even larger 30year philanthropic project assisted by the Department of Conservation and the government. Few finalists were just community driven, with all funding raised locally, as was the case with the AshleyRakahuri Rivercare group, he says. The judges were particularly impressed, not only with the Group’s success in halting the decline in bird numbers on the AshleyRakahuri river, but with their scientific approach to data collection and analysis. The Award programme described this as setting ‘‘a high standard for what can be achieved by community conservation groups elsewhere in NZ and overseas.’’

Fill your cup - energise and relax As drought bites in North Canterbury, women, often the anchorpoint of families, can be forgotten as their menfolk slog it out down on the farm. While there are many events planned for stressed farmers to help them cope with the stress of farming in a drought, there is often nothing for their wives and partners, who are also feeling stressed back home, who are caring for their children and ensuring there is a meal on the table. But a day is being set aside to provide an opportunity for women to get together and promote stimulating conversation and listen to inspiring speakers talk about ‘‘uplifting things,’’ says Marie Black, one of the organisers of ‘‘Refill your cup’’. ‘‘We want people to feel inspired. We are not going to talk about depression and stuff. It will be a stimulating day aimed at women, but if blokes want to come along they are most welcome,’’ she says.

Amberley’s business hub could soon be boosted by an ale house, a gymnasium and physiotherapy rooms and a bakery. And Brew Moon’s hand crafted beer is moving to Markham Street from its State Highway site south of Amberley, with plans in the future to have a taproom for people to sample their wares. Belinda Gould, coowner and brewer says the business is on the move after 13 years at Brew Moon on the main highway. ‘‘We are moving to better premises with some expansion and making the business more efficient,’’ she says. Belinda and Kieran McCauley started Brew Moon in 2002, changing its name from the Cider Garden, with two businesses a restaurant/cafe and craft beer operating separately on the site since 2004. Brew Moon’s lease expires at its State Highway site at the end of July. ‘‘We have plans to have a small taproom at the front of the brewery in the future,’’ she says. The ale house, which is planned for the southern end of Brackenfields, next door to Little Oaks preschool, could be operating by Christmas. It is being built by Alamidas Investments which has been granted a land use consent to build and operate it by the Hurunui District Council on a nonnotified basis. Its operating hours are restricted to 8am to 11pm Sunday to Tuesday, 8am to midnight Wednesday and Thursday and 8am to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.

By ELIZA BALLANTYNE It was a day of celebration at Holmwood Lifestyle Care in Rangiora last Friday. The Musical Frenz held a special concert to thank Ron Mackie and his wife Barbara, for the many contributions they have made to the home and all the entertainment they have provided over the last 28 years. Musical Frenz is a group made up of performers who come along once a month to entertain the residents of Holmwood. Mr Mackie said the group never rehearsed, but ‘‘it was not about perfection it was about having fun.’’ ‘‘It has been a delight for me,’’ Mr Mackie says of his time with the group, and it was a chance to ‘‘keep me out of Barbara’s hair at least once a month.’’ The 81yearolds passion for music has been around for some time. Throughout his life he has played several instruments, from the clarinet and harmonica, through to the bugle and even a ‘‘tea chest’’, an instrument he made at home which was a real crowd pleaser at the monthly concerts. This venture is one of many for Mr Mackie who has spent a lot of his life volunteering and contributing to his community. He has been a member of the ‘Keep Rangiora Beautiful Project’ since 1989. His time with the project has seen him contribute to the over 9000 trees and shrubs planted in the area. He was also a very active member of the Rangiora Art

The Waimakariri District Council has been renting a unit as a temporary premises to Kandu Laundry since the earthquakes.

In December of last year Mr Mackie opened a painting exhibition at the Chamber Gallery, Rangiora Library where he showcased many of his watercolour paintings, yet another hobby he has picked up in his life. Inspiration for some of his paintings comes from his
family’s interest in the outdoors. Only a few weeks ago Mr Mackie joined his son and granddaughter on a tramping trip. Linda Strachan, programme co ordinator at the home, thanked Mr Mackie for all that he had done over the years.

Fundraising stepped up The ‘Save our Pool’ committee is thrilled the Hurunui District Council has committed to building a new swimming pool in Amberley and is stepping up its efforts to get fundraising under way in earnest. It is advertising for a fundraising executive who is ‘‘a passionate and capable local’’. It is a paid position to carry out all of the ‘‘heavy lifting’’ needed to fundraise such a large amount. ‘Save our Pool’ committee chair Paul Reese says the committee will steer and govern the strategy and progress towards the target of $2 million in time for the build in 2018. ‘‘The ‘Save Our Pool’ group has no doubt the district and community will get behind us and we can make a new pool in Amberley for the district a reality,’’ says Mr Reese. Over 500 submissions were made to the council’s Long Term Plan supporting a new pool from national, regional and local organisations and individuals, including many school
children. Mr Reese says the ‘‘fantastic wave’’ of support from many corners of the district. ‘‘In the long term plan they (council) have earmarked a further $250,000 toward the pool in the build year of 2018 and changed the rating amount and collection regime to include a targeted rate for the next two years in the Amberley ward. ‘‘The door was left open to look at further rating options for the wider district in the future in line with a ripple proposal put forward by the ‘Save Our Pool’ committee. ‘‘It involves rating residents on a decreasing scale the further away from the pool they live but an increase overall to support a higher debt level,’’ he says. Mr Reese says as a multigenerational asset the pool should be majority funded by rates over a longer term to capture all new and existing residents,’’ he says. ‘‘The challenge now is to speed up the momentum as we now have a vision to ‘sell’ and begin fundraising in earnest.’’

World Rose Award BY SHELLEY TOPP Rangiora’s Sally Allison has won the prestigious World Rose Award. The international award, for service to the rose, was presented to Doug Grant, president of the New Zealand Rose Society, on behalf of Mrs Allison, at the 17th World Rose Convention held from May 27 to June 1 in Lyon, France. Mr Grant will bring the award back to New Zealand and a presentation is likely to be made to Mrs Allison at the Rose Society’s next annual meeting. The award came as a surprise to Mrs Allison, who has had a long involvement with Heritage roses, and is well known for her work, here in New Zealand and overseas, as a speaker, photographer and published author on the subject. ‘‘Heritage roses are my big interest, so this award is particularly special,’’ she said. Mrs Allison is a founding member of Heritage Roses New Zealand. She is also the current president, plus a former past president. During the last 20 years, Mrs Allison has represented New Zealand as a speaker at six World Rose Conferences and been a guest speaker at many other functions in this country and overseas. She is also the author of two books, Climbing and Rambling Roses, and Shrub Roses, which were both initially published during the 1990’s. Both books proved big
sellers. ‘‘Climbing and Rambling Roses is still widely used today,’’ she said. But, it is now only available second hand. Mrs Allison said she loved Heritage roses because of their simplicity and history. She has a vast collection of them in her large country garden, Lyddington, at Fernside, near Rangiora. It was hard to say exactly how many. ‘‘I don’t like numbers. A large number over a large area. They fit in greatly with a country garden.’’ She collects rose clippings from wherever she goes. ‘‘I seldom come home without something. Roses are so easy to grow from clippings.’’ One of her favourites is Rosa dupontii from the 1820’s. It has beautiful perfume and was one of the first roses she planted at Lyddington, about fifty years ago.‘‘It’s still lovely and robust.’’ Mrs Allison created Lyddington from a bare paddock with ‘‘huge help and support’’ from her late husband Bey, an engineer, who died suddenly last year. Over the years she has travelled widely around New Zealand and overseas, visiting many gardens along the way, but Lyddington is most definitely her favourite. On holiday with her daughter, Sarah Hall, in Hastings last week, Mrs Allison said she considered herself lucky to be living at Lyddington. ‘‘It is my place forever,’’ she said.

Public art The growing presence of art in public places in the Waimakariri district since the the earthquakes has led to calls for a council policy. The Waimakariri District Council agreed last week to appoint a working party to develop a policy for displaying artworks in public places, following a recommendation from the Kaiapoi Community Board. Since the earthquakes, issues have arisen including finding the long term placement and maintenance of the ‘Red Zone Letterbox’ sculpture in Kaiapoi, sculpture proposals to commemorate the Canterbury earthquakes and the proposed ‘You Me We Us’ sculpture park in Kaiapoi. Mayor David Ayers says there is even talk of ‘‘turning Kaiapoi into a sculpture town’’, as part of the redevelopment of the town centre and the future use of red zone land. The board had highlighted the lack of an established process for procuring artworks for siting in public places and associated decision making around location and ongoing maintenance, a report to last week’s council meeting said. The report said artworks were common in public spaces ‘‘to enhance the environment, reinforce the cultural and community identity and promote cities and towns as centres of artistic and cultural excellence’’. Since the earthquakes gap filler art projects have sprung up, particularly in the Kaiapoi and Rangiora town centres. It is hoped a draft policy will be presented to the council in October.

Changing culture Last Sunday I had the privilege of attending the Centennial Celebration of the Waipara Settlement Ballot which substantially disposed of the remaining part of the Glenmark Station. The landholding accumulated by George Moore reached 150,000 acres, taking in roughly the area between the Waipara and Hurunui Rivers, the eastern hills of Waipara, to Hawarden in the west. The Waipara Ballot consisted of 11,000 acres surrounding Waipara Village and the Glenmark Homestead and was subdivided into 27 blocks suitable for economic family farms. Three families remain farming blocks their forebears drew in the ballot, on June 8, 1915. Inland tracts of the once mighty Glenmark Station were subdivided and settled in the 1890’s. With early European settlement the bulk of land in the Hurunui District was taken up by several massive runs, Glenmark being one. The Glenmark story is a fascinating read and well worth your time I can’t do justice to it here. A unique culture developed in the communities springing up around the stations, a culture imported from the mother country, based on a few wealthy landowners supporting many working

families. The advent of the family farm changed that culture over time. As the stations broke up, farm labourers and shepherds along with people from all walks of life were settled on ballot blocks under a number of initiatives. These included Soldier rehabilitation ballots, resulting in a levelling of society as more people became landowners. The long era of the family farm which became the strength of rural communities is the culture many of us grew up with, value, and understandably would like to retain. However, the culture in Hurunui is undoubtedly changing again, with smaller family farms becoming less economic. Larger family farms are re emerging along with a growth of Corporate Farms. This is once again changing the balance of culture in our communities. European culture partially displaced indigenous culture but we’re seeing more integration of this and a number of new cultures. Traditionally a rural district, Hurunui’s largest town is becoming more urbanized with subtle culture changes evident. All this is neither good nor bad, simply a fact of life, to be valued and embraced or rejected your choice.

Dear Editor I write to voice my agreement with Eric Anderson in regards to the old Waikari to Waiau railway track being converted to a cycle railtrail. What a great idea this is. Yes, the railway did go as far as Waiau. The original plan was to lay the main trunk line to Picton, via Waiau and what is now the Inland Road to Kaikoura. The line went to Waiau, before a decision was made to go the coast way, as it does today. It remained open and used to bring back lime from the nearby limeworks. In fact, the concrete hopper is still there, on the site of the old Railway Station. The trip by train to the end of the line was very popular on Sundays, for a family day out and a picnic lunch over the bridge at Waiau. It was eventually removed in about 1977. Remnants of it can still be seen on the west side of the road, from Culverden to the Waiau old railway station site. It’s a shame that the line was pulled up, almost four decades ago what a great scenic/nostalgic trip it would be today. And while on the subject of railway matters, I would like to see a new railway station built on the site of the old one in Amberley. So handy to catch the train to Christchurch and go north to Kaikoura, Blenheim and on to Picton/Wellington. Yours, Trevor StanleyJoblin, Amberley.
Funding welcomed Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey has welcomed a $500,000 funding boost to support mental health in rural communities. Mr Doocey, who has a background in mental health, said that those living in isolated rural communities would benefit by an awareness of the resources that were available to them and from initiatives that could help them access help when they needed it. ‘‘Accessing mentalhealth support can be difficult for those living in our rural areas due to the distance between healthcare services and the seasonal pressures of farming,’’ he says. The funding will improve the
coordination of existing outreach services and develop new support programmes and resources for rural areas in need. The Ministry of Health and Ministry for Primary Industries each contributed $250,000 to the oneoff funding boost. ‘‘We know that depression has become a significant issue in many of our rural communities. ‘‘Not only is physical isolation a factor but too often rural folk don’t want to ask for help. We need to ensure that they are fully aware of the help that is out there and to encourage them to be proactive in seeking that help,’’ says Mr Doocey.

Former principal honoured By AMANDA BOWES Former Amuri Area School principal Neil Wilkinson, who was recently made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to education, says the award is really recognition for both Amuri and Pleasant Point Schools. ‘‘While I might have had the ideas, it was the people at the schools who made it all happen and brought the ideas together.’’ His award was in recognition of his innovative initiatives at Amuri Area School, one of which was creating a programme for Year 12 and 13 students looking for employment. He was also recognised for his pivotal work in the aftermath of the Canterbury earthquakes, helping Christchurch secondary schools and their communities respond to the shift in educational needs brought about by the quakes. As Chair of the Canterbury Westland Principals Association, Mr Wilkinson’s role changed after the February quake and the ensuing upheaval it had on schools. Mr Wilkinson retired from Amuri Area School earlier this year after 10 years and is now working as a consultant for schools and says he is ‘‘as busy as anything.’’ He is enjoying the ability to go for a run in the mornings before he starts work and says while he misses the students, staff and parents at Amuri, he doesn’t miss the meetings and other office work. His work now involves helping schools appoint principals, carrying out principal appraisals and he has got on board with helping four Aranui schools that will be amalgamated into one community campus. He is hoping to take a group of people up to Amuri Area School to show them how well a school can work with
Honoured . . . Neil Wilkinson. students ranging in age from five to seventeen and how it could work for the new campus at Aranui. ‘‘Many people don’t like the idea of the one campus as it will bring pupils of all ages together. I want to show them it can work and how good it can be.’’ While he may be in Christchurch one week, the following week he can be in places like Takaka helping schools short list potential new principals. ‘‘I’m probably still in the honeymoon phase of my new working life and enjoying every minute. I have caught up with students from Amuri at the rugby and some have called in to say hi which has been good.’’ Although retiring from his job as principal was the aim for Mr Wilkinson in March 2015, his full three days a week work as a consultant has kept him more than busy and nowhere near a full ‘‘retirement.’’

The only organisation in New Zealand dedicated to the protection of Government Superannuation annuities, earned through work in Government service. As New Zealand citizens, with very few exception, we are entitled to New Zealand Superannuation when we turn 65 years of age. Those of us who worked in Government service were eligible to join the Government Superannuation Fund, and draw an annuity from this fund when we retired. This was not a gift from the Government. It was hard earned. Typically, we paid about 6% of our salary or wage into the Superannuation Fund every year. Over a forty year working life, this totalled about two and a half years pay. A big sacrifice for a group of workers who were typically in the lower wage brackets. The fact that we had the opportunity to join a superannuation scheme was often used in wage negotiations as an argument to reduce wage offers. A large number withdrew from their scheme when they met the financial hardships experienced by most families. Thousands of workers are still working, and paying into the fund. If you now enjoy an annuity from the Government Superannuation fund, congratulations. You deserve it. You earned it. You paid for it. The median annuity at the moment stands at around $15,000 per annum. This is a highly valued by annuitants, and members rights and options needs to be protected. In addition to protecting our rights, we have to protect the rights and options of those who are still working, and paying into the fund. There are also thousands of surviving spouses who often need a reliable friend to turn to when advancing age compounds a difficulty or misunderstanding that can be worrying them. Governments have made a number of changes to the calculation and taxation of our annuities over the years. Some of these changes have been beneficial to annuitants. Some of the changes have significantly reduced the value of annuities. We are not an anti-Government group. We are a pro-annuitant group. We are here to protect our hard earned rights. Instead of always holding our meetings in Christchurch, your Canterbury / Westland Branch Committee is moving some meetings around the province, to make it easier for members to attend at least one meeting a year. This is an opportunity for you to hear our concerns, and express any concerns that you may have.

‘Art in a Garden’ changes ownership By AMANDA BOWES For Laura Forbes, of Waipara, buying ‘‘Art in a Garden’’ has provided an opportunity to own a business in an area she loves. She has bought the business from Alison Meyer and Penny Zino after working for them last year at the event. Both Penny and Alison were looking to step back from Art in a Garden and offered it to Laura. Laura says her background fitted what they were looking for and in March the business changed hands. Growing up in Dubai, London, San Francisco and then finally Auckland, Laura farms with her husband near the Weka Pass. Her grandfather farmed near Flaxmere, where Art in a Garden is held and she says it is a nice personal connection to now be working and living in the area. Laura has a life long interest in the art industry and from the age of 16 worked in the school holidays at the Majlis Gallery in Dubai, then for the Judith Anderson Gallery in Auckland. She then went to Otago University and completed a Bachelor of Art History and Theory, followed by a Masters in Art Administration at the University of New South Wales. While studying in Sydney, she worked at the Museum of Contemporary Art and later at the Connie Dietzschold Gallery. Returning to New Zealand, she worked for a couple of dealer galleries and auction houses before fulfilling a further interest in events.
Favourite place . . . Laura Forbes in one of her favourite places on the farm, with a work by Johnny Turner PHOTO: SUPPLIED made from Takaka marble ‘‘A new day’’. Studying at CPIT in Christchurch she completed a diploma in Event Management. The Christchurch Art Gallery was her next port of call, where she assisted with exhibition
openings and private venue hire at the gallery. Shifting further north, Laura worked for the Hurunui District Council before starting a family.
For the past few months she has enjoyed seeking new artists and researching their work for the 2015 event. Inspired and motivated by the two women who created Art
in a Garden, Laura says being able to have events like this to continue on to the next generation, in a rural environment, has huge merits and she feels fortunate to have the opportunity. There will be around 30 new exhibitors this year and many of those who have previously exhibited will be bringing new works. While new artists will be on show, there will also be a new line up of musicians. Wellington based opera singer, Rhona Fraser will perform and pianist Richard Mapp and the Nairobi Trio will also entertain the public. One of the Nairobi Trio, violinist Richard Adams, is also a well known artist in Auckland and will be exhibiting his abstract paintings in the barn along with running workshops on the Thursday and Friday. Laura says she hopes locals will embrace this year’s event and that the exhibitions and entertainment can provide a bit of distraction and enjoyment after the dry spell for farmers. ‘‘I am big on promoting the Hurunui. ‘‘This is a great time and opportunity to draw a larger audience to the district. ‘‘The exciting thing about taking over this event is the inspiration and positive reaction I get from so many people, artists, people interested in the arts and from businesses who like supporting the arts,’’ she says. While Laura has bought the business, she will lease the Flaxmere garden for the event.

By ROBYN BRISTOW An historic Cust church will celebrate its 150th Jubilee in July. St JamesontheCust, which was built in 1865, will celebrate with an open day at the church on Saturday, July 25. Visitors will be able to learn about the history of the church and view the many plaques, stained glass windows, Lord Lyttelton’s prayer desk, the Pearse organ and items made by Frederick Gurnsey, the noted carver, sculptor, metal worker and craftsman. The Cust Museum will also be open at this time for viewing some of the church’s historic treasures. These include the silver Canterbury chalice and paten brought out on one of the first immigrant ships to Canterbury in 1850 and a Pocket Communion set donated to the church in 1901 by Prebendary WA PureyCust of Lincoln Cathedral and used by his great uncle, the Rev Richard Cust, Rector of Belton, Grantham, Lincoln, between 18111864. A church service will be held the following day on Sunday, July 26, at 11am followed by a tree planting and luncheon. The service is open for anyone to attend but for the luncheon please register with Judy Ph 03 312 5136 or Ngaire Ph 03 313 5271. The church of St JamesontheCust was named due to its proximity to the Cust river, which in turn was named after General Sir Edward Cust in 1849. It was built on land donated by Mr T Walker and Mr G Searles following a public meeting on March 23, 1865. Messrs Bury and Mountfort provided the plans and John Waller built the church for 365 pounds. The final costs were about 400 pounds of which the Provincial Government provided 250 pounds and the local residents 150 pounds. The church was finished in 1865 and used prior to its consecration by Bishop Harper on September 29, 1866. It was built mainly of kauri timber and its first roof was wooden shingles but was later covered with corrugated iron. In 1872, due to increased population
in Cust and district and under Mountfort’s guidance, the church was enlarged with the addition of a chancel and vestry. The churchyard to the east of the church has the first burials at Cust in the 1860s and there are at least eight children in unmarked graves. In 1870 JT Murphy of the Tara sheep run donated two acres of land on Tippings road for a cemetery and this was then used for burials. Unfortunately Murphy was the first to be buried there after falling from his horse in 1872. The bell tower at St James, which took a battering in the Canterbury earthquakes, is a feature of Cust and contains one of the best toned bells in Canterbury. The bell is inscribed ‘‘Given by General Sir Edward Cust, one of the founders of Canterbury’’. It has 5cwt 2 lbs 10 ozs cast on it. When it was sent out from England there were instructions for it to be brought up the Cust river from Lyttelton by boat. But it went to Kaiapoi port as the Cust river at that time did not have an outlet to the sea and was transported to Cust by a bullock wagon. The bell is rung by swinging the bell against the clapper. It was first housed in a wooden tower and this was replaced with a brick and limestone belfry in 1882 paid for by Robert Chapman of the Springbank run. The first vicar appointed was the Rev AP O’Callaghan in May 1865 who lived at Southbrook until a parsonage was built west of Cust in 1866 ‘‘The Priory’’ still stands today. O’Callaghan had a large district to serve travelling around 200 miles a week, mainly on horseback. On Sundays he travelled 40 miles taking three services in schools, woolsheds and private houses until churches were built and opened at Cust and Oxford. After three years O’Callaghan resigned and went farming. Vicars were then appointed at both Cust and Oxford living in vicarages near their churches. A Sunday School was built near the church in 1878 for 100 pounds.

Coastline features Fabric fence art in Kaikoura LTP By DAVID HILL Promotion and coastline protection are set to benefit in Kaikoura’s Long Term Plan. The Kaikoura District Council voted last week to set aside funding to market the tourist town and to fund re nourishment of the coastline on the town’s main street, Esplanade, due to foreshore erosion. However, Mayor Winston Gray says planned roading projects have been put on hold to keep this year’s rate increase at less than five per cent, or 4.82% across the district. Rates on residential properties are likely to increase by around 35%, with commercial rates set to rise by around 5%. Rural ratepayers are likely to see a rates reduction of around 4%, due mainly to the roading projects being put on hold. The increase in the commercial rates will allow the council to provide funding to employ a part time coordinator to promote tourism and events in the town, Mr Gray says. ‘‘We’re putting up some seed funding to help that role get off the ground, but we hope it will grow into a full time role.’’ Mr Gray says there were a number of submissions on the proposed solutions to foreshore erosion, with Environment Canterbury (ECan) staff giving a presentation at the long term plan hearing. While no decisions have been made, Mr Gray says renourishment is the most
likely outcome. ‘‘We’ve done it before and it’s made a noticeable difference and we’re consented to do that anyway. To do anything else we would need a change in consent and the indications are that renourishment is the best option at this stage.’’ The options presented to the public included ‘‘doing nothing’’, spending $20,000 to $30,000 a year on re nourishment or building a breakwater wall. Mr Gray says further research is being completed and ECan will assist with raising public awareness. The council also plans to set up a working party to complete a broad economic study looking at the future of Kaikoura. The last one was completed 10 years. ‘‘It will be quite broad. It won’t just be about tourism, but that’s certainly there. It will look at issues around growing education, opportunities in tourism, agriculture and really across the board. ‘‘We have all been very busy this year, but it’s time to sit back and take stock and ask ‘where are we heading?’.’’ The most expensive item in the long term plan is the Kaikoura Integrated Family Healthcare Facility, as the council agreed to underwrite the community’s contribution of $3.4 million. Around $1 million has so far been raised. The council’s contribution would be funded by a uniform annual charge of $100 for each rateable property.
By SHELLEY TOPP Hundreds of multicoloured ribbons have been tied to the security fence surrounding the empty Farmers site on High Street in Rangiora. The ribbons were placed on a small area of the fence last Wednesday by Judith Hoult and the 7400 Upgrade team, with many others stopping by to help. Fabric fence art has proved popular overseas and the 7400 Upgrade team are looking for more ideas from the community on how they would like to see this art form used to further enhance the fence. The former Farmers’ building was closed on March 2, 2012, after the building was deemed unsafe due to successive earthquake damage. It was demolished during August 2013, and the site has been vacant since then. A new Farmers Department store is expected to be finished by August 2016 with building due to start soon, with preparatory strengthening work to the neighbouring Devlins Real Estate building wall completed last week. The new 6770 square metre two storey building will cover the entire site situated on High Street, Percival Street and Alfred Street. It will include the Farmers department store, four specialty stores and commercial office space. Farmers will be upstairs and downstairs in the new building, sharing space with the commercial offices on the second floor and the specialty stores on the ground floor. It will face on to High Street with entry to the shops from there. Access to the commercial offices will be through a separate entrance on Percival Street.

Workplace safety seminar Kaiapoi is getting the chance to learn about changes to health and safety legislation. A Workplace Act health and safety seminar will be held at the Kaiapoi Club on Wednesday, July 29, from 6pm to 8pm, to offer advise on the new legislation. The seminar has been rescheduled from originally planned in May. ‘‘The purpose is to give people the opportunity to hear from experts what this new Workplace Act will mean for them

Kaiapoi North School’s junior students have been learning about eating healthy food. Teacher Jo Meyrick says the ‘‘Koru’’ junior team (years 0 to 2) have been inspired to learn about the slogan: ‘‘Healthy People Eat Healthy Food’’. ‘‘Using their wonderings about food, the children were inspired to sort food into categories, describe what they needed to be a healthy person.’’ The project was supported by a visit by Harold the giraffe and the Life Education van where ‘‘we learnt that we all need to drink lots of water, breath in fresh air, exercise, get lots of sleep, eat lots of fruit and vegetables and be given lots of love and cuddles’’, Ms Meyrick says. ‘‘We also demonstrated that we have choices over the food we eat and decided to make our own healthy lunch to show Kim the teacher from Life Education. ‘‘Harold was so pleased to see all the children eating their healthy choices. He stayed to watch us eat and gave us lots of waves and high fives. We all had a great time and our goal is to keep encouraging our parents to make healthy food choices

There will be plenty to keep Kaiapoi children busy during the school holidays next month. Kaiapoi Promotions Association (KPA) activities coordinator Jacqui Jeffrey says the KPA is organising four events as part of this year’s KidsFest, including the popular Psst professional super spy training and the Kaiapoi Adventure Race. The spy training will be held at the Kaiapoi North School on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11, with two sessions each day, from 10am and 2pm, and costs $5 a child with a caregiver required. ‘‘The Network Organisation For Undercover Naughtiness (NO FUN) has dognapped Cool Stuff. Psst, our spy training agency, has been asked if our trainees can help to discover his location,’’ Jacqui says. ‘‘Get special super spy training to solve the mystery. Come along and get your ID badge, train on the obstacle course, crack the secret message and follow the clues. All the training you need to become a super spy.’’ Jacqui says the Kaiapoi Adventure Race on Sunday, July 5, from 10am to 2pm, ‘‘is a great way to try something new’’. There will be fun activities at various locations in Kaiapoi and the cost is $5 a child with a caregiver required. ‘‘We don’t want to give it away, but adventures could include obstacle courses, climbing towers, fun at the fire station, crazy bikes and more.’’ The KPA is also organising a chalk art competition at Trousselot Park on Wednesday, July 8, from 10am, and the Great Kaiapoi Bear Hunt. The chalk art competition costs a gold coin to enter, with squares allocated at the Waimakariri iSite on Charles Street on the day.

properties in the red zone. In its submission, the council says a recovery plan could apply to at least 19 properties in the residential red zone. The only commercial building on red zone land in the Waimakariri district was the Pines Beach store, while public buildings in the red zone included the Pines Beach hall and the Kaiapoi Masonic Lodge. Red zone areas continue to be zoned residential land, meaning the council is obliged to process any building consents which may be lodged. The council says isolated red zone properties remaining in private ownership require servicing which ‘‘will present a significant challenge’’ and cost in the longterm. ‘‘The council continues to be concerned about the long term viability and safety of private property ownership and occupancy within red zone areas. It is highly desirable for residential red zone private property owners to be in a position to relinquish their property and relocate.’’

The Waimakariri District Council has added its support to the development of a red zone recovery plan. The council last week approved a submission to the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority’s (CERA) ‘‘Residential Red Zone Offer Recovery Plan’’ preliminary draft. CERA is developing a recovery plan following the Supreme Court’s decision in the ‘Quake Outcasts’ case, which said ‘‘that the government should have made the red zone offers within a recovery plan’’. Mayor David Ayers says while it is ‘‘too late to do that for most red zone properties’’, the council supports the development of a recovery plan ‘‘which provides a framework for renewed offers to the owners of vacant or commercial land and uninsured owners’’. Vacant land and land under commercial or public buildings cannot be insured, leaving landowners in a difficult position. The government previously made a voluntary offer of 50 per cent of valuation for all uninsured land and

By SHELLEY TOPP Lessons have been learnt from the severe flooding in the Waimakariri District during June last year. Exceptionally high rainfall in the district during the six months leading up to the June floods created an underground water table at its highest since 1978. This meant the land was unable to absorb more exceptionally heavy rainfall which occurred during June 10 and 11 last year. During those two days 180mm of water fell on the district, about one third of the average annual rainfall, causing widespread flooding in the area. After the flood the Waimakariri District Council created a flood team with a focus on addressing historical and recent flood issues across the district, and allocated $4 million towards flood mitigation work. The flood team is headed by Gerard Cleary, manager of utilities and roading at the council. During a report on flood mitigation work progress at the monthly Waimakariri Zone Committee meeting held in Rangiora last week Mr Cleary said some of the culverts in rural residential areas in Mandeville had performed below expectations during the June floods last year. ‘‘These are generally historic culverts and drains that have been in place for many years. Some of these drains are very old and were originally put in to provide drainage to allow the land to be used for agriculture. The old drains and culverts are
not typical of what is installed in modern subdivisions,’’ he said. ‘‘In recent subdivisions over at least the last decade it has been a requirement that culverts are designed by an engineer so that they meet our standards,’’ he said. ‘‘We have learnt a few more lessons from the flooding last year particularly in relation to ensuring the best hydraulic performance of drains by checking the long section and ensuring culverts are not perched at a high level,’’ Mr Cleary said. ‘‘We have made significant improvement to the drainage in two key locations in Mandeville, Whites Road and Bradleys Road. These works have involved upgrading the entire drain and a number of culverts to our current engineering standards. In this case the Council has funded the works,’’ he said. ‘‘We have further work programmed in Sienna Place and Bradleys and Wards Road in Mandeville. These works are predominantly to cater for the groundwater resurgence that caused prolonged high flows last year.’’ A drainage upgrade has also been done in Clearview Lane and Mandalea Road also to provide more capacity for groundwater resurgence flows. ‘‘In this instance the subdivisions are ten and twenty years old and the council has funded the improvement works.’’ ‘‘New subdivisions in groundwater resurgence areas are now required to install adequate drainage to meet our current standards,’’ he said.
Funding boosts local youth community.’’ A radio broadcasting programme at New funding to youth councils throughout Compass FM is the first in a lineup of the country will go towards ensuring a fun events, including a concert and a year for the youth of North Canterbury. masterclass cooking workshop with Three youth councils in the district have celebrity chef Jax Hamilton.

Oxford author Jennifer Somervell is once again in the winners circle. Her book The Eel Hunt, illustrated by her sister Margery Ferns, has taken out three first places, a second and two Honorable Mentions at the prestigious Americanbased Purple Dragon fly Book Awards. Based on a childhood adventure catching eels at the headwaters of the Manawatu River, the Prestigious win . . . Margery Fern (left) and Jennifer Sommervell PHOTO: SUPPLIED. and their book The Eel Hunt. book captures the hearts of many and invokes memories for parents of their eeling adventures as children. It took first place in Cultural Diversity, Best Cover Design and Interior Design, a second in Historical fiction and received Honorable Mentions in the Picture Book six and over category and for Best Illustrations. The book is hilarious and ‘stranger than fiction’ and a true adventurous tale, but it also carries a very important message. ‘‘The native New Zealand longfin eel is the only species in the world and is now at risk, so we included an educational section about its life cycle and how to protect it,’’ says Jennifer. The Eel Hunt is the third title in the Tales From the Farm picture book series, based on the authors’ reallife, childhood adventures on the family dairy farm in Hawkes Bay in the 1960s and 70s. Their second title The New Old Truck, about the rescue of the family’s 1921 Republic truck, also won two first place awards in the same competition. Last week she took The Eel Hunt into a classroom of nine and 10yearolds at the Cust Primary School ‘‘and I had masses of questions from the children’’. ‘‘They couldn’t believe my brother actually stepped into a dead cow in the river! They told me how much they loved The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed and gave me a huge stash of their writing with imaginative alternative endings to the book. The sisters are delighted with the success of their books, especially in primary schools. Fern, a deputy principal at Waitetuna School in Raglan, says their books’ educational sections are a strength. The Day Dad Blew Up the Cowshed has sold out twice and is now under revision for a reprint. The revised edition will include information about the Taranaki farmer who invented the first rotary cowshed in New Zealand, which went on to become the cowshed of choice both here and overseas. There is also a new book in the pipeline for publication later in the year. Drawn from Jennifer’s childhood experiences raising pigs, it features Josephine and Napoleon, a couple of very naughty pigs who keep charging electric fences with hilarious consequences.

Students go ‘Into the Woods’ at town hall Rangiora High School students are getting ready to go ‘‘Into the Woods’’. The school’s production, ‘‘Into the Woods’’, will be performed in the Rangiora Town Hall during June 24 to 27 and is being directed by Bruce McMillan. Deputy principal Julia Malcolm says the musical is an adaptation of one of Stephen Sondheim’s most popular works designed especially for young performers. ‘‘We are excited to be back in the refurbished town hall for this production. ‘‘All of your favorite characters are here Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and the Witch who meet and interact in this whimsical original story.’’ The musical centres on a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, while Cinderella wishes to attend the king’s festival and Jack wishes his cow would give milk. ‘‘When the baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a witch’s curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse
and wind up changed forever. ‘‘The sophisticated score has been adapted to make it easier though still challenging for young performers.’’ ‘‘Into The Woods’’ is a funny and engaging way to get young people to think about the stories they have grown up with and the issues raised within those stories, Ms Malcolm says. The school has a production every second year, and participates in the Stage Challenge in alternate years. Ms Malcolm says students from all levels are involved and are supported by a big team of staff members. Students auditioned for the cast at the end of last year, with year 9 students added at the beginning of this year before rehearsals began in the middle of term one. Year 13 student Nicole Hampson has taken on the role of producer and is using Facebook to communicate with the cast. ‘‘It’s a good experience for someone of my age and I am working with a lot of different people. It is a very good experience.’’
Fundraising has begun in earnest for training equipment, an end of year camp and to help the St John Youth Amberley division with competition costs. The nonprofit organisation, which meets every Tuesday night at the local St John Hall, caters for around 50 Cadets and Penguins who learn life and leadership skills and earn badges. They also attend numerous camps, competitions and events at both district and regional level. The division is run by a hard working team of volunteers who love to see the Cadets and Penguins aspire to be the best
they can be, but it all comes at a cost. The division is running a quiz night on Saturday, June 20, at 6pm for people of all ages to help fund its activities and buy training equipment. The local community has offered vouchers for a silent auction and around 30 spot prizes of various values, including massage, hair, First Aid kits, Warrant of Fitness and grocery vouchers, entry to the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools Spa, Antarctic Centre and mini golf. The youth division is grateful for the support and offers of sponsorship from Johnson and

Rape crops stand out Rape crops shone in this year’s Northern Agricultural and Pastoral Association winter feed competition. Peter Schouten, of Eyrewell Dairy Ltd, took out the Ravensdown supreme winner prize for his crop of Golith, with Martin Ashby, of Marakiki Downs, named runner up with his crop of direct drilled Prophet oats. McCarthy Contracting and Gilchrist brothers sponsored a new cup this year for the best paddock of fodder beet, which was won by Ben McKerchar, of the Larundel Dairy Partnership. As there has been so little rain this season kale crops, which go in earlier than rape, have battled with insect pressure and drought conditions. Judges Glen Judson (Agricom) and David Walsh (Seedforce) said it was great to see more and more farmers using best practise to grow their crops and get the benefits. Organiser Jeremy Ashworth said he was pleased with the support for the

Clean sweep for North Canterbury teams By PETER WILLIAMS Methven clung on to win the Grand Final of the Luisetti Seeds combined rugby competition 3129 in an excellent game of rugby at Methven on Saturday. Former Oxford, North Canterbury representative and Methven captain Simon Fleetwood, was one of Methven’s try scorers in a keenly contested match between two even teams. Waihora scored deep in extra time a conversion would have meant that the trophy was shared and when the conversion attempt was waved away, the celebrations began. This is the first time that a Mid Canterbury club has won the combined competition since North Canterbury clubs first became involved in 2007. Oxford will end the season in third position after their playoff opponents, BurnhamDunsandelIrwell failed to front on Saturday and Glenmark nailed down fifth position when a side liberally sprinkled with inexperienced senior players claimed a good win over Southern 4029. Although trailing 1215 at halftime, Glenmark came from behind with a compelling secondhalf performance. One of those players new to senior level rugby, Brent Daly, scored a hattrick of tries in an impressive effort for Glenmark while Danny Brooker also played very well. Chris Keane’s accurate goalkicking and sound allround play was another telling factor in assisting Glenmark to this win. Saracens was able to extend its winning sequence to seven when it defeated Darfield 2010 at Southbrook Park. In doing so it won the Canterbury

In the first half, flanker Nathan Goodwin and right wing Josh Harrison both scored similar tries, regathering their own kick ahead, to ensure that Saracens took a lead into the
break 1510. The only points in the second half came when Saracens drove a scrum over the line for No.8 Johnny Turnbull to score. For Saracens loose head prop Morgan Pugh and halfback Ollie Ashby impressed while English flanker Sam Smith was named Waimak Real Estate Player of the Day. Ashley’s improved run of form also continued when it comfortably accounted for West Melton 3413, winning the Plate section. Lance Taylor, Dan Cook, Brad McKenzie and Brett
Cameron all scored for Ashley with the balance of the points coming courtesy of Taylor’s accurate boot. Flanker Matt Kippenberger, playing his 50th senior match for Ashley won the Player of the Day award. Another feature of the match was that Matt King returned after a recent injury to play in his 100th senior match. Kaiapoi completed a hattrick of successes for North Canterbury clubs in the lower sections when it won the Plaque, accounting for Hornby 2620. Hornby made most of the play early on and led 156 at halftime with two Brook Retallick penalties Kaiapoi’s only reward at that point. Kaiapoi then assumed control of the match. Former Glenmark flanker, Ryan Nesbit, who shone in the Kaiapoi forward pack, drove over for a try. Retallick not only converted that try, but landed a 50metre penalty soon after that put Kaiapoi in front. Lock Nacaneli Namata also scored for Kaiapoi from a pickandgo drive. The conversion and another penalty to Retallick put the game in safe keeping for Kaiapoi. A late Hornby try narrowed the final margin. As has so often been the case this season, Ohoka found itself down eight points after as many minutes against Rolleston but hit back with a penalty by Freeman Eder who also converted a try scored by fullback Taylor Direen to lead 108 at the break. Both teams exchanged penalties early in the second half and it was very late in the match before Rolleston scored a second try again from a driving maul after an attacking lineout. This try secured a 1913 win to Rolleston.

From the sidelines Weather of Nth Canty rugby plays ball In an entertaining spectacle Kaiapoi Under 18 prevailed 3330 over a gallant Malvern combined team in the Grand Final of the Combined Under 18 competition. The match began at an electrifying pace with points rattling on at well above a point a minute throughout the first half. The combined team deservedly led 2419 at the break, having had much the better of the territorial battle as Kaiapoi conceded far too many penalties. Both teams let their backlines loose at every opportunity and the lead changed constantly throughout. Kaiapoi’s defence tightened in the second half, restricting the Combined team to just two further penalties while Kaiapoi’s attacking policy was rewarded with two converted tries. The final minutes were especially tense for Kaiapoi’s supporters with their playmaker, Dante Love, having been sin binned for an infringement after a team warning had been issued, but they withstood the late pressure on their tryline to come away with a very narrow win. Tries for Kaiapoi were scored by Love (2), Jonty Hall, Josh Merrin and Shak Bassi with Love converting four of the tries. With the Luisetti Seeds Division 1 competition now completed, teams will be focusing their attention on the North Canterbury competition. With five of the six teams bringing strong recent form into the competition, interest is high and competition for the four semifinal spots

will be intense. Further interest will be added by the fact that the Deans Shield will be at stake every Saturday, regardless of whether the holder is playing at home or away. Next Saturday, the holder, Glenmark defends it against Saracens at Cheviot. Ashley Division 1 first five Lance Taylor has created club history with an astonishing tally of 100 points reached on Saturday against West Melton in just his fifth match. He started on 81 and claimed the milestone with his fourth conversion late in the game. Previously the Ashley record for a season was held by Matt Brown who reached his milestone in 1989 in the ninth match, so it is a remarkable feat in Taylor’s debut season. The Ashley primary school teacher started his season with Shirley in Christchurch and his arrival has coincided with a distinct improvement in fortunes for the side. Oxford’s efforts in the Mike Greer Homes North Canterbury Division 2 grade emphasise how evenly matched so many of the teams are in this competition. Although they won the Mockett Cup for the initial roundrobin, Oxford have dropped their first two matches in the Top Six playoff series, admittedly to the two top teams and perennial finalists, Hurunui and Woodend. However, Oxford will need to win at least two of their remaining three matches in this series to progress to the Championship semifinals.
Hawarden turned on the weather for its club day on Saturday when all the Senior A teams played two games, making it a long day. All games were well fought, with the Glenmark vs Hawarden A game a really good battle. In the first quarter it was goal for goal with Glenmark going into quarter time a goal up. In the second quarter there was tight defence by both sides making it hard for to get the ball into the goal circles. At half time Glenmark was still leading 1513. With Glenmark centre Amy Evans going down on her ankle in the third quarter Glenmark had to make changes which upset its rhythm, letting Hawarden come away at three quarter to finished 1918 up. In the last quarter Amy Evans came back on at WD. Hawarden made no changes and with Michelle Stanley and Jenny Jackson working hard on defence, Hawarden found a way through, taking the match 3123.

Under 17 netballers head to nationals
Run of wins continue In cold, but sunny winter conditions Stadium Cars Waimak United Division 1 men’s team met lastplaced Hornby United on Saturday at the Kendall Park. Their previous encounter this year had resulted in a 22 draw and Waimak were keen to top that. Right from the start Waimak dominated possession and territory creating opportunities but not finishing. Midway through the half Luke Fraser got in behind the defence of Hornby and crossed a perfect ball to the far post which was met by Chris Chick to powerfully head past the Hornby keeper. Soon after Waimak opened the Hornby team up again and Eyob Habte scored his first division 1 goal to take the teams to half time at 20. The second half was reasonably flat with Waimak dominating and Hornby content to limit the damage. The only goal addition was a well deserved goal to Zac Stewart who had worked tirelessly in central midfield throughout the match. Late opportunities to Waimak were squandered as the game finished in a 2all draw. The PDL men’s team went down 31 to Parkland to remain midtable. The women’s PDL side continue to impress with a strong 72 victory over Cash/Tech to sit 2nd in their first year at this level. The boys 12A side turned their season back on track with a big 82 victory after been level at 22, at halftime. Goals to Anton 4, Joe 2, Noah and Harry. The 11B boys also had a good result against a strong Ferrymead Bays side drawing 11

It scored again in the 12th minute and 10 minutes later slotted a third goal to be up 3nil at the break. Selwyn came roaring back in the second half but attack after attack was blunted and repelled by Hurunui.

Matt Blair Motors Hurunui Senior Men 5 Western 3 The Hurunui Rangers Senior backed up to beat Western 53. Hurunui Rangers was still feeling the effects of the midweek game and Western took full advantage to make it 3nil. Hurunui was visibly tired but Barry O’Regan and Edge de Paiva spun some their magic, with Edge scoring in the 44th minute to take the score to 31 at half time. A tactical substitution at halftime with AJ McMillan coming on at right back saw AJ’s hard attacking wing back play threatening the Western goal area on
numerous occasions and finally the pressure saw Edge score his second goal a minute into the second half. Ben Shore scored from a header four minutes later. Hurunui continued to apply pressure, with the score remaining 33 for another 20 minutes when Dougie Hyde broke the deadlock. Barry Regan netted a fifth and final goal to make the fulltime score 53.

Week to recognise volunteers Well Being NC seeks support in Kaiapoi By DAVID HILL Volunteers are desperately needed to meet a growing need in Kaiapoi. Well Being North Canterbury is looking to recruit at least five new volunteers for its Kaiapoi Community Support (KCS) office, as it looks ahead to Volunteer Week, which runs from June 21 to 28. KCS coordinator Nicki Carter says Well Being North Canterbury is heavily dependent on its more than 100 volunteers, who put in more than 7000 volunteer hours last year. ‘‘Well Being North Canterbury has a long history of volunteers over more than 20 years. We wouldn’t be able to provide the services that we are providing to the community without them.’’ In Kaiapoi volunteers run the food bank, provide administration support, ‘‘meet and greet clients’’, run cooking classes and run a volunteer driver service. ‘‘There’s a really nice synergy between our volunteers and the community pantry (food bank) due to the ‘super gran ilk’ of our volunteers who enjoy sharing their knowledge, including preparing food.’’ Ms Carter says there is a growing demand for volunteer drivers to take elderly people to medical appointments and shopping locally, completing more than 200 drives a year. She says the demand is due to a growing elderly population who do not have family members to drive them, often due to work commitments. Well Being North Canterbury also has volunteers in its Rangiora office providing reception and administrative support to its paid staff, its board of trustees, in its Restorative Justice North Canterbury programme, at the Karanga Mai Early Learning Centre and through the timebank. While there are no volunteers actively working in the Hurunui district, Ms Carter says there are

Kaiapoi Community Support coordinator Nicki Carter supports her PHOTO: DAVID HILL volunteers Judy Croucher (left) and Jan Clyne. several Hurunui people who regularly make the trip down to help out in the Rangiora office. She says Well Being North Canterbury has volunteering best practice accreditation with volunteers matched according to their skills to meet gaps in the organisation and ongoing training and supervision is provided. Ms Carter says volunteering is a good way for people to get to know their community and ‘‘to combat social isolation’’. ‘‘We have about 10 volunteers who are new to the country and want to
practice their English and to involve themselves in the community.’’ Some volunteers have been out of the work force for a long time and get involved to gain some experience and build up their confidence. Ms Carter says Volunteer Week is a good opportunity to recognise the efforts of its volunteers and to recruit new people. She says she is happy to chat to any prospective volunteers. ‘‘Everybody’s got skills and strengths. Some people come in and say ‘I don’t know what I’m good at’ and by the time we’ve had a chat we find out they’ve got a lot to offer.’’

More than $3000 has been raised for the New Zealand Red Cross Nepal earthquake appeal during an auction held at Rangiora’s Plough Hotel. The auction, held last Wednesday evening, was organised by Srith Elias, a Rangiora business management student. Srith said she found news footage covering the April 25 earthquake in Nepal devastating to watch, and she wanted to do something to help. ‘‘Earthquakes are something very close to the hearts of Canterbury people,’’ she said. Her initial thought was to make a donation, but then decided ‘‘we could do better than that.’’ She approached the new owners of the Plough Hotel in Rangiora, Amy and Luke Grice, and Mike Saunders and Golda Hawes, for a possible auction venue. ‘‘They came on board straight away with the idea, she said. The next step was finding someone willing to be the auctioneer. Srith’s parents, Brian and Tessa Elias, who own the Rangiora West Vet Clinic, suggested one of their clients, Jo Kane, would be a good choice. The former ECan deputy chairwoman also quickly agreed to help with the project. ‘‘We couldn’t have picked a better person,’’ Srith said.
