about to beginaplanwasneededtodiscourage four­wheel drivevehicles and trail bikes fromdriving in theAshley­Rakahuririverbed, damagingnests andharmingbirds and their chicks.Amove to restrict vehicle access

from thebeginningof Septemberto theendof Januarywasendorsedat a recentmeetingbetween theRangiora­basedAshley­RakahuriRivercareGroup,EnvironmentCanterbury (ECan) and theCombined4WDClub.Entranceswill beblockedoff

withECan to select other sites forus tousewhile thebirds are in theriverbeds.’’AnAshley­RakahuriRivercare

Group spokesman,Geoff Swailes,saidnumbers of breedingbirdsweredeclining onmost braidedrivers, but not on theAshley­Rakahuri.‘‘There is goodevidence that this

Fish in schools . . . Kaikoura Suburban School students are excited about the prospect ofgrowing baby salmon. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

By DAVID HILL

Kaikoura Suburban School studentsare learning to raise baby salmon.The school’s Kea class (years 2­3) has

received an aquarium, water filter andequipment from theNelsonMarlborough Institute of Technology toraise salmon hatchlings as part of Fishand GameNorth Canterbury’s fish inschools programme.The students are now learning as

much as they can about salmon andgetting advise from some ‘‘localmentors’’, before either salmon eggs or‘‘alevin’’ (newly hatched salmon)arrive at the school, teacher RebeccaMacer says.‘‘I’m quite passionate about

protecting the environment, so I wantto get the children involved in doingsomething in their local community.‘‘If you get them involved at a young

age, then hopefully they will learn torespect the environment and not over­fish.’’Once the baby salmon reach ‘‘smolt’’

stage, when they are about 5­10cm long,they will be released into Lyell Creek,which flows through the Kaikoura towncentre.‘‘It’s pretty exciting. The kids are

really on board.’’Kaikoura Suburban School’s baby

salmonwill add to the fish which havebeen released in Lyell Creek by theKaikoura Salmon EnhancementSociety.

Last month 10,000 yearling salmonwere released in Lyell Creek by thesociety, following on from 10,000 beingreleased for the first time last year.

Chisholm proposal gets backingBy ROBYNBRISTOW

HanmerSprings residents and theHurunuiDistrict Council have throwntheir support behind a $15millionproposal for aEuropean­inspiredday spain theChisholmward at the formerQueenMaryHospital site.Sixty twopeople turnedout at Tuesday

night’s publicmeeting at TheHeritageHotel to hear theHanmerSpringsThermalPools andSpa (HSTPS) presentits vision for thepotential redevelopmentof the building.Therewas strong support for the

concept and theneed to preserve thebuilding in a commercially soundway forratepayers.HSTPSchairGrantLilly said the

turnout represented eight percent of thepopulation and reflected the significanceof theproject toHanmerSprings.‘‘Wehave a clear direction from the

HanmerSprings community present atthismeeting that theywant us to pursuethe visionwehave,’’ he said.Questions at thepresentation focused

on theprocess of selecting potentialinvestors and the role of the owner, theHurunuiDistrict Council, in the concept.HurunuiMayorWintonDalley believes

theChisholmSpawould be amajor boost

for thedistrict.‘‘Thiswill be the biggest single

development to takeplace in theHurunuidistrict formany years and it sees abuilding that has sat unoccupied for 12years put to gooduse in away thatrespects its key heritage features,’’ hesays.He is keen to get ratepayer feedback on

theproposal atchisholmspa@hanmersprings.co.nz.The council has owned thehospital site

with theChisholmandSoldiersward andtheNurses hostel on it since 2008. Sincethen attempts to occupy the buildingshave failed. This includedanattempt byBayleysRealEstate to lease all or parts ofthe buildings in 2012.MrDalley says over half amillion

dollars has been spent onmothballingandmaintaining the buildings since thecouncil took over their ownership.‘‘This planwill take a long time to come

to fruition. Thepools have to find a jointventure investor, finalise the concept andthen it has to go through anapprovalprocess thatwill involve publicconsultation and liaison over theheritageelements.‘‘They are beautiful buildings and it has

beendisappointing that until nowno­onehas comeupwith a solid plan to use them

­ despiteBayleys’ advertising offshore.‘‘This plan gives us hope thatwe’ll see

life andactivity in theQueenMaryHospital buildings oncemore,’’ saysMrDalley.ThermalPools andSpa general

managerGraemeAbbot says turning theChisholmward,whichwas built in 1926andhas not beenused since thehospitalclosed in 2003,would be a ‘‘major tourismdrawcard’’.‘‘Wehave fully scored theproposal, are

excited by its potential and theopportunity to breathenew life into theChisholmward.’’The spadesignhadnot been finalised

so therewas opportunity for potentialpartners, the community andheritageadvocates towork together on thedetails.‘‘The important things to us are that this

community asset is once againused andenjoyed and that our community benefitsfrom its use,’’ he said.Thepools returned $3million a year to

ratepayers and this dividend couldincrease aswell as ensuring theChisholmbuildingwasmaintained and restored.‘‘TheSpaat thepools is nowoneof the

busiest inNewZealandwith an annualturnover of $1.5million.WehavenodoubtChisholmSpawill be equally successful,’’saidMrAbbot.

preferred surface for competition­levelhockey, CanterburyHockey’s chiefexecutiveRodTempleton said.‘‘Having this type of turf in the

Waimakariri District will attractmajortournaments to the region, andwill caterfor a large number of players in thedistrict.’’Previously, North Canterbury players

had to travel to Christchurch for theirgames, he said.‘‘It’s great to see the council investing

Infrastructure progressin Kaikoura townshipWork on theKaikoura civic building,library andmuseum continues and theroofing panel replacement shouldbegin early September.Once this work is done the

scaffolding can come off and externalfinishing can be completed.Much ofthe internal work has been finished.On Saturday August 15 I attended

the cultural blessing of theKaikourahospital withmembers of the staff andCanterburyDistrict Health Boardrepresentatives, alongwithcommunitymembers and the localRununga led by Brett Cowan.Staff and patients will soonmigrate

into the new building anddeconstructionwill begin of theexisting hospital. Patientsmovingacross to the new aged care units arein for a very pleasant surprise, theoutlook from this facility is absolutelyoutstanding and the quality ofaccommodation is great.On Saturday evening I attended the

emergency services social function atthememorial hall.This is a bi­annual event organised

by locals JaniceDreaver, DonWrightof St Johns and IanWalker from thefire brigade. This is another projectdriven by enthusiastic supporters ofour emergency services and it is anopportunity for staff and volunteers toget together in a social setting andnetwork and enjoy some downtimewithout the stress they often confrontwhen they are on the job.This event is sponsored by the local

business community which again isreally appreciated.Our emergency service staff and

volunteers perform an outstandingrole for the community and do itbecause they care.A highlight was the number of young

men andwomanwho have put theirhands up and joined the Coastguard,St Johns and fire brigade in the lastfew years.In 2013 a programmewhich begun

as a one off inRotoruawas trialledhere inKaikoura.Youths from the high school signed

into a sixweek programme ofimmersing themselves into thesegroups culminating in a full dayemergency Scenario.Several of those students have now

joined our emergency services andare fully involved. It is important thatwe do this again in the next year or twoto cater for those coming through ourschool.To have this achievement on their

curriculum vitae is another plus forthemas theymove into theworkforce.The appointment of a new chief

executive for theKaikouraDistrictCouncil is progressingwell. Theappointments subcommitteemet onFriday, August 21withMikeStenhouse fromSheffieldRecruitment which is handling theprocess.There has been strong enquiry from

NewZealand and offshore for the rolewhichwas advertised throughAugust.The process now is to work throughthe applicationswith a view tointerviewing candidates, with anappointment likely to bemade inOctober for a commencement datelater this year.

Representation review

Woodstacks

Drought

DearEditor,Iwas intrigued to read the viewsattributed to theWaimakaririMayor,DavidAyers,

in your issueof July 16.Itwouldappearas though the council’s current proposal hasbeenbasedon informal

consultationswith community andadvisoryboards, plus an information sheet andquestionnaire sent to residents.Neitherhaveany legal or valid statistical basis.Themayor’s reported comment that the two four­memberwards centred, respectively,

onKaiapoi andRangiora ‘‘meetswithhis goal of retaining the samerepresentationofeachof thedistrict’s twomain towns,’’ suggests that hehasalreadyhas a closedmindontheultimateoutcome.This conclusion is reinforcedby a comment included inofficialmeetingnotes of theRepresentationReviewWorkingPartyheldon27 January 2015wherehe is reportedasholding ‘‘strong viewson the twourbancentresmaintaininganequal numberof councillors.’’ Section 82of theLocalGovernmentAct requirescouncillors to consider all views received ‘‘withanopenmind’’ andgivedueconsideration to themwhen it comes tomake its decision.Perhaps it is time forMayorAyers to standaside from thecurrent review.MayorAyers’ comment that advisory boardsare supposed tobeappointedat apublic

meeting ‘‘butwe’veneverhadenoughnominations’’ is not correct.Mydiary records thatwhenboards ­ asdistinct from theearlier advisory groups ­were

instituted in 2004, around59 residents turnedup to theOxford­Eyremeetingandover70werepresent at theWoodend­Ashley electionmeeting.Yours,AlanMcRobie,Rangiora.

DearEditor,Iwas intrigued to see thephotos of thewoodstacks – as youcalled them, built byPhilip

Watts in theAugust 6 editionof thepaper.The techniqueof stackingwood ina round stack is anoldEuropean tradition. In

Germany theyare calledaHolzMietewhich translates into awoodclamp.Weused touse terms likeapotato clamp, apit orplacewherewe storedpotatoes for thewinter. Icanunderstand thereforewhere theGermannamecomes from.Theyare sometimes calledaHolzHausen ­woodhouse. I toohavebuilt anumberof

them. It is anextremely effectivewayof dryingand storing thewood, for thewooddriesmuchmorequickly and is inmost casesdrier thanwoodwhich Ihave storedundercoverina shed.There is, of course, no limitation to the size andheight towhichyoucan stackwood inaHolzMiete as youcanandhaveprobably seen if youcarry out an internetsearchon that term.However a threemetrediameter stack represents a convenient reach in the centre for

anaveragepersonand twometres is about all you can stackwithouthaving to resort toladders and scaffold.Eachof the large stacks represents about onewinter’s supply for this house.Yours,RobertLoughnan.(Abridged ­Editor)

DearEditor,YourheadlineDrought hits farmers pocketsonly scratches the surfaceof the full effects.Its impact is felt right through the community, even into school classrooms ­ stressed

parents ­ stressed children.Wearenow40years on from the72­73­74 ‘Bigdrought’which turned theWaipara

valley into adustbowl ­ it’s onagain.Tenyears after that event theTreasury fundedGlenmark Irrigation schemebecamea realitywhich they truncatedbefore completionbecause it didnotmeet theirmystical ‘internal rate of return’. They’dnever admit thatby 1996excise taxonWaiparawine collectedwouldhavebuilt anewscheme ­ every year!The statement fromWaipara farmer,TonyWhyte in ‘‘Glenmark­100 years on’’ says it all­ from the filling of ourdamin1983wehaveNEVERhadanotherDRYseason. Itwas/is the catalyst for thenowobviouswine industry i.e.diversification.Without themagic fertiliser ­water ­ theHurunuidistrict is hamstrungonmaking

progress. That is fromCheviot toAmberley. Some farmershavealready spent $10millionand received ­ ZILCH! It iswaypast time for abig change in thinking, not just in thisdistrict but from the top ­MrGuyand friends takenote.Other than theprivatemoneypoured intodairywhichhasbenefitted thenation ­

Government/peoplehave investednothing.Yours, JohnMcCaskey,Waipara (abridged ­Editor).

Bridal event postponedTheOxfordBride­of­the­Year contest planned forNovemberwill now be held inApril next year.The event is being organised to help the Ashley GorgeReserve Advisory group

raisemoney to help build theReynoldsHeritage pavilion at the reserve.A spokesperson says it has been decided to shift the event away from the busy

Christmas­NewYear period and hold it after theEaster break.It is hopedmanywill take the opportunity to take their bridal gowns out of storage

New look . . . New relocatable buildings arriving at Kaikoura Primary School last week.PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

Relocatables arriveBy DAVID HILL

Kaikoura Primary School is finallygetting its much anticipated newclassrooms.This first of 15 modules that will

make up five new buildings arrivedat the school last week, with moreunits expected to arrive at theschool this week.Onsite works and a final internal

refit will be completed before thenew classrooms open in around sixweeks.The new relocatable buildings will

replace the school’s fourclassrooms, library andadministration buildings as part of a

Ministry of Education pilot schemeto trial new transportableclassrooms.The redevelopment is set to cost

around $1.5 million and is awelcome boost to the 60­year­oldschool and its 80 students.With the oldest buildings dating

back to the early 1950s, the flat roofdesign has deteriorated with highcorrosion meaning the school’smaintenance bill was beginning toexceed the budget.As the buildings are designed to be

transportable they can easily bemoved or added to as the school rollgrows, or be relocated to a new siteshould the school roll drop.

players tomake up a team, Amuri Areaschool joined forces to create a combinedUnder 16 team.Gary said considering the teamhad

been put together quickly they played anexcellent game.‘‘They tackled like demons and took all

opportunities during the game,’’ he said.Not only was it a chance to see the cup

played for again, but it was also a daywhere ‘‘old timers’’ past pupils and

others involvedwithHurunui rugby overthe yearsmet up, somewho hadn’t seeneach other formany years.Next year thematchwill be played at

Birds and buskers partof Waimakariri WOWBy SHELLEY TOPP

A photographic exhibition, featuringthe endangered and rare birds ofNorth Canterbury’s Ashley­RakahuriRiver area opened in Rangiora lastweek.The work is on show in a new pop­up

art gallery in the Gables Arcade inHigh Street.The photographs are the work of

Steve Attwood, a photographer with abroad experience in journalism,public relations, communityengagement and training ­ achievedover more than 40 years working in thecommunications industry.Steve is also a member of the Ashley­

Rakahuri Rivercare Group, acommunity group formed in 1999 withthe aim of protecting the birds in theirhabitat, monitoring their breedinghabits and promoting them to thepublic.‘‘Nature photography inspires me to

look at the world in fresh ways anddifferent angles,’’ Steve said.The exhibition was organised by the

7400 Upgrade Group, who got togetherlast year to try and bring some fun,energy and excitement back to HighStreet in Rangiora.It is part of the group’s Waimakariri

Wow project to promote all the specialthings in the district that make it agreat place to live in.Busker Beat Rangiora, a new event

to be held every Saturday, fromSeptember 5, at 11am, in the GoodStreet walkway, has also beenorganised by the 7400 Upgrade Group.Busker Beat aims to provide space

and regular Saturday timeslots for themany talented buskers in theWaimakariri district to perform theirmusic and for people to stop and enjoyit.While the Rangiora NewWorld

supermarket provides a popular placefor buskers to perform, with thesignificant foot traffic they need toearn a living, there is often not enoughspace for people to stop for a while andenjoy the music.

People on their way to thesupermarket are generally rushing bywith no time to stop, relax and listen,the group says.It’s hoped Busker Beat will attract

people into High Street, and that theGood Street walkway will provide anideal place for them to stop, relax,unwind and have some foot­tappingfun.Three popular buskers ­ Lorenz

Weston­Salzer, Phil Minton andClaire Buckley ­ will perform at thefirst Busker Beat Rangiora festival inGood Street on Saturday, September5.Phil classifies himself as a

Canadian singer/songwriter, whoperforms an eclectic selection oftraditional, folk, country, blues, androck, songs, some that have seldom ornever been heard, with the odd coverthrown in the mix. ‘‘It is music that isintended to be listened to and can bea bit eccentric at times,’’ he said.Claire moved to Rangiora as a

toddler during the 1970s, attendinglocal schools before escaping toChristchurch to study theatre.She chose to return to Rangiora and

raise her son, and to be near hisgrandparents.She is a regular performer for the

Rangiora Players theatrical group,and has been singing for many yearsin choirs and bands.Claire started busking this year

after learning to play the guitar.Her repertoire reflects her broad

musical tastes ranging from classicsto contemporary, and includes a feworiginal songs too.Lorenz is a classically­trained

young violinist from Christchurch,now living inWoodend, who has beenplaying since aged 7.‘‘I will be playing classical, some

Romanian, Irish and folk music.’’Catch their beat in Good Street.

Family love affair with Volkswagen growsBy SHELLEY TOPP

Family favourite . . . Lisa Leeburnwith her daughters Isabel, Megan and Apryl with their1974 Volkswagen Kombi Campervan and their 1963 Ragtop Beetle. PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP.

When you have a collection ofVolkswagens parked in the garage, whatis the one thing you need?Another Volkswagen, of course.In 2008,Mark Leeburn, ofWaikuku

Beach, already owned four Volkswagens.But when a 1974Kombi Campervan cameon themarket, inNelson, he couldn’tresist buying another.‘‘I alwayswanted one,’’ he said.‘‘At the time I had aVW1963Ragtop

Beetle, a 1954 Beetle, a 1965Notchback,a 1970 Fastback and theKombiwas nexton the list.’’Mark and his wife Lisa, ownWeeKiwi

Children’s Boutique inRangiora, butthey both also have other jobs.Markworks at AirNewZealand inChristchurch, and Lisaworks for DevlinsReal Estate, inRangiora.They have three young daughters,

Apryl, aged 3,Megan, aged 10, and Isabel,aged 11 and use their Kombi van forcamping holidays, andVW rallies. Theyhave also done a tour around the SouthIsland in the van, andMark sometimesuses it to travel to work, but it has poorfuel efficiency bymodern standards.‘‘A V8would be cheaper,’’ Mark said.

However, the little Kombi Campervanis a big family favourite and alwaysattracts attentionwherever they go.‘‘Everytime I take it out someone

always stopsmewith a story about a VW,or a friend that has had one,’’ Mark said.That was one of the best things about

owning an iconic vehicle like this, hesaid.‘‘Everyone has a story about one, and

theywant to share it.’’The VolkswagenKombi Campervan

was first launched inGermany during1950. It was also known as theVolkswagen Type 2 bus, because it wasthe second type of vehiclemade byVolkswagen. TheVolkswagen Type 1wasfirstmanufactured in 1938. It was a

compact two­door car, with a rear engine,and became popularly known as theBeetle.TheKombi Campervanwas an

improved,more versatile version ofVolkswagen’s earlier Transporter whichwas an extension of the Plattenwaggen,theworld’s first flat­deck truck.The Plattenwaggenwasmodelled on a

Beetle but with a front flat deck and anopen cab above the rear engine. ThePlattenwaggen came into use afterWorldWar II, mainly for use as a utility vehiclearound the Volkswagen factory inWolfsburg, Germany.However, it proved so useful around

the factory it quickly became clear thatthe little truck had huge commercialpotential. Subsequent designimprovements includedmore powerfulengines, enclosed cabs, withmodernseats and headrests and led to the firstprototype for the VolkswagenKombiCampervan, whichwas a forerunner tothemore luxurious SambaMicro bus,launched a year later, in April, 1951.The VolkswagenKombi Campervan is

recognised as one of themost popularvehicles of all time.However, newworld­wide vehicle

safety regulations, including air bags andanti­lock braking, introduced in January2014, were unable to be incorporated intheKombi design, and put an end to the63­year production line of the iconiclittle vehicle.As amark of respect for one of the

world’s favourite vehicles, Volkswagenmade a limited, final editionKombi, ofabout 1200 vehicles, in their Brazilianfactory in SaoBernardo do Campo, withproduction ceasing onDecember 20,2013.More than 10millionKombi

Campervansweremanufactured sincethe 1950 launch date, with 1.5million ofthosemanufactured inBrazil from 1957.

Welive ina less thanperfectworld, aroundus there is calamity,intolerance, suffering andpain. Iwonderhow this reality alignswith the claim that aperfectGodcreatedaperfectworldwithinauniversewhereGod is all knowingandall powerful?The shortestway to offer somethingof anexplanation is to

describe thisworldandourexistenceashumanity’s secondchance.It canbe for someabeautiful existence full ofwonderand

mystery and timesof joy and love,while for others it ismuch lessthan this ideal.Right now in this districtweare somewhere in­between.Theoriginal intentionwas for all creation to live inharmony,

howeverwhenhumansare given theoptionof choice theremustof necessity bea choice for the less thanperfect andunfortunatelyall of us reap the result of others’ poor choices.Becauseofhumanity’s poor choosing, thehistory of their

Celebrating ‘everyday people’By SHELLEY TOPP

Lifestylers . . . JohnMaillard’s photo of Renata andMalkiat, lifestylers in his exhibition of the same name, atthe Chamber Gallery in Rangiora. PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP.

Acompelling photographic exhibition in theRangiora Library’s ChamberGallery portrays aunique group ofNewZealanders.‘‘Lifestylers’’ is thework of JohnMaillardwhowas

born in rural England, but now lives in Tai Tapu.‘‘The exhibition tells a story about a subject we

take for granted,’’ he said.‘‘It brings people together, it documents an

important sub­culture. It celebrates everyday peopleand not self­promoting celebrities,mediapersonalities and politicians, that is a commonphotographic subject.’’Johnworks at theChristchurchPolytech Institute

of Technology, and also owns a small gallery, calledWaihora, at Tai Tapu. The gallery is usually open atweekends, but closed at themoment because Johnandhiswife, Annie, who features in ‘‘Lifestylers’’,are having earthquake repairs done to their home.‘‘Photography ismymeditation,my outlet for the

things I see in theworld,my translation andunderstanding of the things aroundme,’’ he said.‘‘In photography, I can tell a story using images and

transmitmy spirit, soul and humanity inmywork tosharewithwhoeverwould like to look atmywork.’’His photographs have been exhibited nationwide

and in theUnitedKingdom formore than twodecades.Hehas alsoworked as a photographer inmany

countries, includingGambia inWest Africa, theUnited States, andEurope. Johnhas a deep interestinNewZealand’s landscape, both natural andman­made.‘‘I wanted to document the peoplewho influence

the landscape, and recognise their contribution toit,’’ he said.‘‘Lifestylers are a special breed of people, who

cross culture, race, and identity inNewZealand.They come fromall walks of life, are rich andpoor,but all are united by their love of the land.’’Hewanted to photograph lifestylers because he

believes their numberswill dwindle as land becomesmore expensive.‘‘Lifestylers are a special part ofNewZealand not

found in other developed countries inEurope andsimilar places,’’ he said.However, he doesn’t believe the exhibition defines

lifestylers. It was just the ‘‘tip of the iceberg’’. He ishoping to photographmore lifestylers for a book heplans to publish next year.John said hewas grateful to have the opportunity

North Canty landscape presents challengesBy AMANDA BOWES

Aerial spraying . . . September toMay is a busy time of year for North Canterburycontractors, especially after Christmas. FILE PHOTO

With its varied terrain ­ from coast toplains, hills tomountains, NorthCanterbury presents challenges forspraying contractors throughout thedistrict.Luckily there are contractors for all

types of work and all types of terrain, whohave themachinery and equipment thatwill virtually get everywhere.For themountainous areas and river

gorges, helicopters have provedinvaluable over the years for sprayinghard to reach areas.Weeds like gorse and broom can be a

real problem in steep or high country

areas and often helicopters are used tospray the unwanted plants. Not only canthe helicopters get to higher areas, theycan spray out areaswhere there isn’tmuch room tomove,meaning a goodcoverage.Way ToGoHelicopters, Christchurch

Helicopters andAlpine SpringsHelicopters have pilots and gear to

tackle themost gnarly areas and are usedin forestrymanagement aswell as gettingrid of weeds, pests and unwanted fungi.Mandy Smart fromWayToGo, says

September toMay is their busy time andparticularly after Christmas.Because using a helicopter is not

cheap, they try to tee up several farms inone area tomake it economical. The pilotwill stay in the area until all theproperties are done.For gentler hill country, spraying

contractorsmight use hand guns.Withthe spray tank on the back of a truck andone or two reels of hose, the operator canwalk out the hose and get into gully areasand on slopes that the truck or tractorcan’t get to.The hand guns are also good for

spraying areas like culverts, roadsidesand other tight spaces.To protect valuable crops,many

spraying companies employ the use ofremote controlled vehicles which have ahigh ground clearance.The self­propelled sprayers are

entirely run by a computer and are usedon row crops tominimise crop damage.AndrewHide sayswhile they are fairly

common now, whenHide Sprayingbought its first one about 18 years agotheywere an unusual sight.From self­propelled sprayers to truck

mounted boom sprayers, technology hasadvanced in leaps and bounds over thepast few years.Spraying, whether chemicals or liquid

fertilisers, is asmuch a science as an artandwith GPS and computer controlledapplicators, modern spraying ensuresminimal wastage and extremely accuratedispersal of the sprayed product.

Contractors praying for nice, warm spring

Busy times . . . North Canterbury sprayingcontractors are hoping for another busyseason despite the recent drought and lowdairy prices. FILE PHOTO

By AMANDA BOWES

With spring approaching and the hopefor a favourable season ahead, sprayingcontractors aroundNorth Canterburyare gearing up for busy times.Whilewinter is traditionally a quiet

time for all types of spraying, whether itbe chemical or fertiliser, it is also achance for contractors to carry outmaintenance on their vehicles, spraygear and attend to any equipment thatmight need replacing before spring.AndrewHide, fromHide Spraying, says

work is staring to pick up now but theyhave kept chugging along duringwinterwith jobs like spraying out weeds fromlucerne and other crops that needattention during the coldermonths.After a dry spring, summer and autumn

formost areas ofNorth Canterbury, thecolder than usual temperatures haven’thelped in the last fewweeks.While there has been some sporadic

growth, with somewarmer temperatures,it has been slowed by continuing frostydays.This canmake it frustrating for farmers

and contractors alikewith the stop­startnature of this year’s early spring.

Timing is everythingwhen it comes togrowing crops, vegetables or pasture sospraying contractors are constantlyaware theremay only be a shorttimeframe to get the jobs done. Added tothat is the need for still dayswith littlewind and the pressure can really build.For contractors that provide

helicopter spraying, getting that still

weather is also vital, not only do they notwant any spray drift, but flying inmountainous areas can provide its ownchallenges like copingwith vagaries likedown drafts and thermals.What ever the terrain, type of spraying,

or type of farm, contractors and farmersalike are praying for a kind spring thatwill help everyone get back on their feet.

Spraying safety paramountSafety of operator, public andenvironment, when spraying agriculturalchemicals is of the utmost importanceandRural ContractorsNewZealand(RCNZ) is an organisation that is hot onsafety requirements.It is the only national association and a

leading advocate for all types of ruralcontractors throughoutNewZealand andrepresents the interests of allcontractors.For spraying contractors and other

agricultural chemical applicators, RCNZhave a chemical applicator programmethat ensures safety of ‘‘crop, operator,environment and public’’.There are two levels available through

RCNZ, one aBasic Chemical Applicatoraccreditation and the other aRegisteredChemical Applicator accreditation.As part of their workwith agricultural

sprayers, RCNZmonitors local andcentral government policies, plans andprocedures on behalf of itsmembers.Part of its philosophy around the safe

application of agricultural chemicals ispromoting a policy to centralgovernment, councils and industryassociations.The policy states: ‘‘Any person

applying agri­chemicals in a public placeor on private property for hire or reward

should be the holder of either aRegistered Chemical Applicatoraccreditation or the holder of a BasicChemical Applicator accreditation, orthe holder of a Basic ChemicalApplicator (or equivalent) operatingunder the immediate and directsupervision of the holder of aRegisteredChemical Applicator’’.RCNZ introduced the programme as an

alternative chemical applicatoraccreditation tomeet the needs of theagricultural industry andRCNZmembers.The accreditations are personal ones

and held by an individual.

dCommunity backs Kaikoura showBy DAVID HILL

Community show . . . The Kaikoura community is getting in behindthe annual Kaikoura A&P Show. FILE PHOTO

The future of theKaikouraAgricultural and PastoralShow ismore secure thanks tocommunity support.Just twomonths ago, the

Kaikoura A&PAssociationwas facing the prospect nextFebruary’s annual show couldbe the last. However a newcommitteewas elected at lastmonth’s annualmeeting,following a publicmeeting inJune, giving the annual shownew lease of life.‘‘We are looking pretty good

at themoment.We’ve hadmore peoplewho havestepped up and said ‘how canwe help’,’’ newly electedpresident Terri Chalmerssays.‘‘It was getting to a stage for

those of uswho had beenrunning the show, that it was‘same old, same old’, so weneeded to get some freshpeople on to the committeeand helping out.’’Mrs Chalmers says she

expects the show to evolveintomore of ‘‘a communityshow’’, rather than atraditional rural show.WhileMrs Chalmers has

accepted the role of president,replacingDebbie Collins whostepped down aftercompleting a two­year term,MelissaKnowles has beenappointed as the new

secretary and Sarah Collinswas re­elected as treasurer.New committeemembers

and new section convenorshave also been found, alongwith ‘‘other peoplewho haveput their hand up to help atworking bees and on the day’’,Mrs Chalmers says. However,

the committee is still lookingfor ‘‘a keen person’’ to take onthe role of vice­president.Next year’s showwill be

held on Saturday, February27.However,Mrs Chalmers

says a concern is the timing ofthe annual ‘‘Horse of the

Year’’ show, which begins inHastings three days later, anearlier date than usual.‘‘It means some of our

stalwarts in the horse sectionwill be going to that, so weneed to find some otherpeople to run that section onthe day and not everybody iscomfortableworkingwithhorses.’’In themeantime, the

committee is starting to thinkabout the theme for nextyear’s show.Mrs Chalmers says she has

been a competitor at the showsince shewas little and haspreviously served as secretaryfor 10 years.She is also vice­chairwoman

of theKaikoura Pony Club.She follows in the footsteps

of her grandfatherwhowas aprevious president, while herparents have been involved inthe show for a number ofyears, with hermother stillcompeting in the handcraftssection.Her niece has also been

involved in the show, and ‘‘wasa great helpwhen Iwas showsecretary’’.‘‘We have have been trying

to get the next generationcoming through. Even if it isjust small jobs, they are stilllearning.‘‘It’s great to know that we

have got new support comingthrough.’’

Rural firms helping farmers

❛We’ll be tackling the situationas soon as conditions permit❜

TenNorthCanterbury farmers affectedby droughtwill have help turning theirbare brownpaddocks green again thisspring under a unique new initiative.Led by SouthCanterbury basedDuncan

Ag, ProjectNorthCanterburywill provideeach farmerwith free advice, soil testing,fertiliser, seed, spraying anddrilling torenovate five hectareswith newpasturefor each farmer so they can start growinggrass again as soon as possible.Theunique offer is the result of five

NewZealand­owned rural companiesjoining forces to give both short termandlong term support for those affected byunprecedented drought conditions inNorthCanterbury over the past severalmonths.TheNorthCanterburyDroughtRelief

Committee selected the farmers through a‘nominate your neighbour’ process, saysCraigMcIsaac fromno­tillmachineryspecialist DuncanAg.‘‘SoilMatters is providing the soil

testing and recommendations, Viafos the

fertiliser, Specialty Seeds the seeds, DJ&AMHarrison alongsideNuFarmanyspraying requirements andwewill pay forthe contractor andprovide aDuncan seeddrill so there is nowear and tear on thecontractor’smachine,’’ he says.All the companies involvedwanted to

do something practical for theNorthCanterbury farming community, andbanding together to restore deadpaddockswas seen as away to helpmakea real difference.

‘‘We all share a similar focus on theimportance of looking after farm soils andpastures aswell as supporting long­termfarmproductivity.‘‘Wewant the results of ProjectNorth

Canterbury to continue benefiting thesefarms in future seasons, not just thisspring.‘‘Having said that, we also recognise the

urgent and immediate need for feed, sowe’ll be tackling the situation as soon asconditions permit.’’Two key benefits of no­till paddock

renewal in this context are preserving soilmoisture and rapid plant establishment,and both the fertiliser and seedrecommendationswill also be aimed atfuture­proofing the paddocks in question.The project got underway onAugust 11

andwill continue throughuntilmid­September, startingwith soil testing andfertiliser advice.

Communities rise to adversity

Phil Smith.

By PHIL SMITH

It is in timesof adversity that the realstrengths of rural communities becomeapparent.As farmers inNorthCanterbury struggle

withdrought,wehave seenanumberofcommunity and industry­led initiativescome intoplay fromdrought shouts, fielddays,mental­ health awareness events andthe storinganddistributionof donatedstock feed.Onegroupof enterprising farmers’wives

haveevenbanded together to forma tailinggangandareoffering their services freeofcharge to thoseaffectedbydrought.At a recentFarming throughDrought

fieldday,NorthCanteburyRural SupportTrust chairmanDougArchboldpointedoutthat itwas the farmerswhodidn’t attendtheseevents,whowere reluctant to leavethe farm, thatwere cause formost concern.It is importantweall stay in touchwith

ourneighbours and take the time topayavisit to those in the communitywhomaynothavebeen seen for awhile.Spring is always a challenging timeand

farmers shouldnot beafraid to seekhelp iftheyneed it. There is still donated feedavailable andanumberof supportmechanisms inplace tohelp farmingfamilieswithanything fromanimalhealthadvice to financial assistance.Lookingahead farmers are going tobe

facedwith re­building capital stocknumbers and renewingdrought­damagedpastures.One initiative I am involved in is setting

upamonthlypasture growthmonitoringservice in conjunctionwithFarmax, apasturemonitoringanddata collectionand

analysis service.Usingdata collected fromselected,

strategically placed farms throughoutNorthCanterbury,Beef+LambNewZealandwill beable toprovide farmerswith information thatwill help themunderstand their pasture recovery andproduction.Thiswill allow them tomakeinformedshort and long­termmanagementdecisions throughout thedrought recoveryprocess andbeyond.Thedatawill be collatedbyFarmaxand

Shooters make NZ teamsBy SHELLEY TOPP

NewZealand representative shooters . .. James Brydon, left, Tania Boerlage, andRobert Dalzell, at the Rangiora SmallboreRifle Club rooms last week. PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP

Three Ashley SmallboreRifleAssociationmembers have been selectedto shoot forNewZealand.‘‘This is an extremely pleasing result

for the association,’’ spokesmanRossMcQueen said.The association consists of three

smallbore rifle clubs, includingRangiora, Amberley andWest Eyreton.‘‘It’s only a small associationwith 35

competingmembers,18 in theRangioraClub,’’ Ross said.A teamof six travelled toWanganui

earlier thismonth to take part in theNorth versus South Inter­Islandcompetition for a chance to representNewZealand.‘‘For Ashley, to get three in theNew

Zealand teamwas pretty amazing,’’ Rosssaid.This was because the standard of

competitionwas particularly high in theNorth Island.Robert Dalzell, JamesBrydon and

Tania Boerlagewere all selected for theNewZealand squad, withRobertmakingtheNZVeterans’ team, James selectedfor theNZ juniors, and Taniamaking theNZwomen’s andNZ open teams.All threewere excited to be selected to

representNewZealand and saidwearingthe silver fernwas special.Robert said the challenge of smallbore

rifle shooting appealed to him, and alsothe friendliness of the people involved.He also enjoyedmentoring youngermembers of the club.It was rewardingwhen young people

came to the club, who didn’t knowanything about the sport, andwatchingthemdevelop into talented,motivatedsportspeople.Tania agreed.‘‘I like the camaraderie. It reallymakes

it.We are like one big family,’’ she said.Therewas also ‘‘no handicap to being a

woman’’ in smallbore rifle shooting.Ross said smallbore rifle shootingwas

a precision sport, but age, weight orgenderwere not barriers, and it could bea lifelong participation. The youngestmember of the club to date has been aged12 and the oldest 84.‘‘Everybody helps each other too and

that’s really beneficial,’’ Tania said. ‘‘Wealwaysmake surewemake time to havefun.’’James said he enjoyed the social side

of the sport, and the fact that they all had‘‘plenty of laughs’’.Smallbore rifle target shooting can be

an indoor or outdoor sport.Wintershooting is done inside. The shooter lieson the ground and shoots at a paper orcardboard target, 20 yards away (18metres), using a .22 calibre, single­shot

target rifle.Outdoor shooting takes place during

thewarmermonths, over a longerdistance but using the same type of rifle.TheRangiora SmallboreRifle Clubshoots indoors so their season is comingto an end. The selection of Robert, JamesandTania to representNewZealandprovided an exciting end to the seasonthis year.However, they had an exciting time last

year too, winning themost prestigiousevent in the first division South Islandsmallbore rifle competition, the AndrewFaulkner Shield, plus the seconddivision equivalent, the Lindsay SmithMemorial Trophy.Their club headquarters is close to

RangioraHigh School. Ross said the clubhad an extremely talentedRangioraHigh School team, includingMathewLittle, whowon theRangioraHighSchool SmallboreRifle Club Trophy forExcellence last year. ‘‘It’s the kind ofteam every coach dreams about,’’ he said.The school’s curriculum includes

smallbore rifle shooting. ‘‘It is one of thefew schools that does and it really is a bigadvantage,’’ Ross said. The school’ssupport and involvement, plus supportfromparents, had been very helpful tothe club.TheAshley SmallboreRifle

Association’s aim is to teach firearmssafety, and enjoyment of participating insmallbore target shooting at all levels,compete inwinter tournaments, teamshoots, regional championships andrepresentative competitions.

A crispwintermorning gaveway to a dayfull of sunshine and competition at theHurunuiNetball Centre finals in Chevioton Saturday, August 22.Beginning at 9.30am the daywas kick

started by the senior C final inwhichHawarden S andCheviot B battled it outfor the title. Dominating throughout,Hawarden S came out strong.While Cheviot kept the score close in

the first half, Hawarden’s shootingability won the game.Havingmet several times throughout

the season, the primary A final sawCulverden PA andCheviot PA once againundertake a close, nail biting game.Drawing a large crowd, the young

players remained cool under pressure,with Cheviot’sMaeya Crown helping herteam to victorywith exceptionalshooting. Despite outstanding courtdefence fromboth sides, Cheviotmanaged to secure its first win overCulverden and claim the primary Atrophy.Emotionswere running high in the

senior B final withWaikari andCulverdenBproviding supporters withanother close game. Despite only threepoints between the teams at half time,Culverden’s agility and strong goaldefence ensured victory.The day concludedwith the senior A

final betweenHanmer andCheviot.Drawing crowds from acrossHurunui, itwas a battle from start to finishwithHanmer slightly ahead throughout.Minor errors let Cheviot down and gave

Hanmer the opportunity it needed tostretch its lead and take out thematchwith a seven­goal difference. Evident inits on court and off court actions, bothshould be credited for the close­knit

nature of the teams, the passion andtechnical ability.A disappointing result for the hosting

New fishing season opensBy DAVID HILL

Fishing season . . . Cathy and NormSymons, of Kaiapoi, chat toWaimakaririi­Sitemanager Gwen Creek about the newseason fishing licences. PHOTO: DAVID HILL

NormSymons remembers catching hisfirst big fish.TheKaiapoi 81­year­oldwas just 10

when he caught his first salmon and hehas been fishing ever since.‘‘Once you’ve hooked one, you’re

hooked.’’Norm’s biggest salmonweighed in at 38

pounds, back in the 1970s. He goesfishing inWaimakariri River throughoutthe summermonths and always keeps anold rod and reel in the car, so he is alwaysready to catch the big one.He taught his wife Cathy to fish just

after the first earthquakes and shequickly caught the salmon bug. Twoseasons ago she ‘‘out­fished’’ Norm,catching three salmon in theWaimakariri River and last yearwon atrophy for her efforts.‘‘We have a competition going between

us ­ it’s a lot of fun,’’ Cathy says.New season fishing licences are now

on sale andNorm says the licences arewell worth the price.‘‘You’ve only got to catch one salmon

and you’ve paid for your licence fee.‘‘Sure fishing can be costly. You can

prettymuch guarantee youwill lose atleast two lures during the season. If youdon’t lose any, you’ve had a good season.‘‘But you can’t catch a fish if you’re

standing on the bank talking. You’ve gotto have your line in thewater.’’Waimakariri i­Sitemanager Gwen

Creek says there are some changes to thenew season licences, as Fish andGameNewZealand has ‘‘listened towhatpeoplewant’’.New licenses include the loyal senior

licence (LSL) and the local area licence(LAL). The LSL is for those aged 65 andoverwho have held a licence for fiveconsecutive years ormore and costs $105instead of the normal full season price of

$124.Thosewho onlywant to fish inNorth

Canterbury and not venture elsewhere,can purchase an LAL for $99.One­day licences can be purchased for

$20, while three­day licences cost $45 anda newnine­day licence costs $87.Families can either purchase junior

licences for the kids for $25 each or afamily licence for $161 (two adults and upto four children).New season fishing licences can be

purchased online atwww.fishandgame.org.nz. However,thosewho prefer not to play on online,can visit theWaimakariri i­Site in theOldRailway Station, Charles Street,Kaiapoi, or your local fishing or sportsshop.
