New families settle in Rangiora as the town’s population grows BY SHELLEY TOPP Rapid population growth has seen an influx of new families settling in Rangiora. The town’s population grew by 1550 in the two years between 2012 to 2014 and is expected to reach 20,000 by 2026. Meanwhile the Waimakariri District was home to 54,400 people in 2014, Statistics New Zealand figures show. Of those people, 16,450 lived in Rangiora, where 200 building consents were issued for new dwellings in 2014. Crisanna and Hugo Nel, and their two young sons, Blain, aged 3, and Acton, nearly 2, moved to Rangiora last September. They wanted to be closer to family and friends, and initially planned to move from Wellington to Christchurch. They chose Rangiora instead, because the housing market represented much better value. They also enjoy the close proximity of rivers and beaches, and the ‘‘beautiful weather’’. ‘‘It’s much better than Wellington,’’ Crisanna said. Initially Hugo, who is a master plumber, drainlayer and gasfitter, was uncertain about leaving the capital city because their business, Water Craft Plumbing, was doing well there. But they have not regretted their decision.
Family time . . . Crisanna and Hugo Nel with their two children, Acton, aged 1, and Blain, aged 3, moved to PHOTO: SHELLEY TOPP. Rangiora from Welllington last September. Crisanna, a teacher, is working part time at Ashgrove School, in Rangiora, and at the Oxford Area School, and Hugo is busy, with most of his work coming from the Waimakariri area. ‘‘We love living here, Crisanna said. Business numbers have also
increased 27 percent in Rangiora in the 10 years to 2014. However, Enterprise North Canterbury’s chief executive Heather Warwick said the last two years had been ‘‘real tough’’ for Rangiora’s retailers. ‘‘That has been because of the lower foot traffic due to
Farmers not being here,’’ she said. ‘‘Obviously some businesses have closed, but there are a lot coming too.’’ These included Farmers, which was expected to open again in August 2016, and the new PAK’nSAVE supermarket, opening later this year.
There was also a Joe’s Garage restaurant planned for Rangiora, and the completion of the new Conway Lane buildings later this year would provide more retail and office space for High Street. It is expected that the new developments will provide many jobs for Waimakariri people. ‘‘We want more people working locally so they are not on that road every day,’’ she said. ‘‘There are real positive signals. ‘‘It’s not just about what is happening in High Street, it’s also about what is happening in Southbrook.’’ The South Island’s largest catering company, Rangiora based Continental Caterers has moved a big part of its business from the Rangiora central business district to Kingsford Smith Drive. The company’s head office is now located there and a new cafe, the Kingsford Smith Kitchen, representing another large investment in the Rangiora business sector. Soda Cafe has also moved to Kingsford Smith Drive from Lehmans Road, near the Rangiora Racecourse. Go Wireless NZ Limited, a wholesale distributor of wireless internet products, is also based in Kingsford Smith Drive, and Amuri.Net, a broadband provider, is building a head office there.

Snow and cold winds hit Nth Canty By ROBYN BRISTOW Many parts of North Canterbury woke to a dusting of snow and bitterly cold wind on Monday morning. But farmers were counting their blessings the region did not get lashed with a heavy snow like parts further south. Severe frosts have followed the
southerly blast, however, making life difficult for some motorists with at least one truck and trailer unit coming to grief on ice and crashing and blocking the north bound lane at Ferniehurst/Siberia Stream on State Highway one early Tuesday morning. One household also reported burst pipes following a severe frost in the Hawarden
area. Many farmers now have their fingers crossed a north west wind might blow up to blow away the snow and reduce the number of frosts as the ground temperatures have been reasonably warm to date with a bit of growth and animals have been enjoying the warmer temperatures as well.

Reducing the number of crashes at stop controlled intersections is the focus of a campaign running in the Waimakariri District. Nearly 40 percent of crashes happen at intersections in the Waimakariri area of Canterbury and in the first week of the annual two week campaign being run by Canterbury Police and the Waimakariri Road Safety committee, police have issued 81 infringement notices to motorists for failing to stop at stop signs. Canterbury Police Strategic Traffic Unit Supervisor in North Canterbury, Sergeant Rene Pabst said it was disappointing that motorists still appeared to have trouble stopping at stop sign controlled intersections and worryingly three disqualified drivers were among those who failed to stop at stop signs. ‘‘It is amazing that drivers still think they can drive past a stop sign if they slow down
or believe the way is clear. ‘‘This is not the case and ‘stop’ does actually mean ‘come to a complete stop’.’’ One driver was issued a notice for a red traffic light infringement on Smith Street over the motorway. Two other drivers turning right from Williams Street, at the Pineacres corner, to head north were issued an infringement notice for entering a lane unavailable to them. Sergeant Pabst said on May 22 a vehicle was seen driving through the stop sign controlled intersection at Johns Road and Plasketts Road at about 100kmh where a number of serious and fatal crashes have happened at this intersection in the past. ‘‘The driver, who claimed she did not see the stop signs, has been summonsed to appear in Christchurch District Court charged with careless use of a motor vehicle.’’ Inspector Al Stewart, Canterbury Police

Road Policing Manager, says driver behaviour at rural intersections is a districtwide issue. Around half of the crashes that Canterbury Police and Serious Crash Unit officers attend each year are at intersections. Many of these are caused when a driver is distracted, fatigued, under the influence of alcohol/drugs or driving too fast. ‘‘Canterbury roads are as safe as those using them and we want all road users to reach their destination safely. This is one of the reasons why we partner with Road Safety Committees and other organisations across the District to target poor driver behaviour.’’ While the annual campaign with the Waimakariri Road Safety committee ends on 31 May, Canterbury Police will continue to target intersections across the district throughout the year.

PHOTO: ROBYN BRISTOW. So when the call came to shut up shop, the very same day they returned from Wellington in May 2012, where they had witnessed Mike’s mum, Jean Rutherford receiving a QSM for services to the community, they were unprepared for the bombshell. ‘‘We found out in an email and had to walk down to the supermarket that night and close immediately. We had to remove staff and customers and close the shop.’’ A weekend was spent with the council ‘‘working out how we could get through this’’ and look after their staff. The couple employed 36 staff, many of whom had mortgages and other financial commitments and they decided they could not make anyone redundant. The Jaycees Room was to become the new mini Supermarket, one which the community and staff swung in behind, shifting the basic essentials to the new premises. ‘‘We were there 10 weeks and for nearly all that time we didn’t know what was going to happen to our existing store,’’ says Mike. ‘‘We had no EQC payout because it was a commercial building and no insurance because it was not earthquake related. ‘‘It was tough trying to stay positive and we had to sell the family home in Alexandra ‘‘to survive, keep staff employed’’ and meet overheads such as power for refrigeration. Few knew just how close it had come to Mike and Nicky ‘‘just walking away’’.
‘‘We couldn’t sell the supermarket because it did not meet the Building Code. It was worth nothing.’’ Eventually the news came through that they could strengthen the existing building. Eight weeks later the supermarket re opened with the Oxford Area School PTA and the community rolling up their collective sleeves and helping move, clean and restock shelves. But the couple had barely settled in and they began the next phase of their business life planning a new supermarket. The now very adaptable team has operated in a supermarket squeezed up to a third of its size while they waited for the new ‘‘very, very strong’’ supermarket to be built in behind which is around 140 to 150 percent of the building code. An emergency generator has been bought and in the true spirit of community Mike and Nicky say it will be available for to the community in any future natural disaster. The couple have made a huge investment in the community and have vowed to continue to invest in it through continuing to give free fruit to the Baptist Early Learning Centre and the Bright Horizons Early Learning Centre so little people can have fresh fruit every day. Mike and Nicky have also pledged to continue supporting the Oxford Area School, sports clubs, performing arts and service clubs in a community they have grown to love and feel right at home in.

Oxford’s new Fresh Choice supermarket will open its doors on August 17. The new 1100 square metre store is double the size of the existing Supervalue and will house an extensive range of groceries, fresh fruit and vegetables, a butchery, a sevenday a week bakery and will run all Countdown promotions on grocery lines. Added to this is a Westpac ATM, which takes Visa and international credit cards and supermarket owner/operators Mike and Nicky Rutherford are also in negotiations with Kiwi Bank and New Zealand Post to move their businesses from the Waimakariri District Council service centre to the new premises. Westpac’s Rangiora branch manager Tracey McPhedran, says the ATM has been a long time coming. ‘‘But it will be a reliable and tremendous asset and an investment in the future,’’ she says. The machines were quite expensive and Westpac was the only bank prepared to install an ATM in the town, says Ms McPhedran. Mike says within two months of the Fresh Choice being up and running the old Supervalue in front of the new supermarket will be demolished and a few weeks later a new sealed carpark will be finished. ‘‘Complete completion will be late October,’’ says Mike of the multimillion dollar project. The opening will signal seven years in business for the couple in Oxford, the past four of which have been fraught with pressures for Mike and Nicky as they had to overcome the effects of Canterbury’s earthquakes and make a decision to whether to walk away from their Supervalue or commit to build the new Fresh Choice. They moved from Alexandra after expressing a desire to open a Fresh Choice in the Central Otago town. ‘‘But when I spoke to Progressive they encouraged us to go into a smaller supermarket and learn the business. ‘‘We weren’t in retail in Alexandra where I worked importing general textiles for the viticultural industry,’’ says Mike. Oxford became the couple’s destination with family support nearby in Woodend. ‘‘Our dream was to go back to Alexandra, but we loved Oxford and the community so much we decided to stay. Oxford has become our home and Alexandra our holiday destination,’’ says Mike. But when the Canterbury earthquakes struck, the couple’s dream was shattered. They conscientiously had inspections done following every quake of significance that hit the town to ‘‘protect their staff and customers’’.

Water quality upsets Amberley man Commuter bus mooted
By ROBYN BRISTOW
An Amberley man is fed up with the quality of the township water supply. Andrew McWhannell is questioning why he has to pay rates for such ‘‘poor water’’ that corrodes cylinders, washing machines, kettles and other appliances. He also worries that the amount of lime in the water could lead to health issues. ‘‘How much lime in the water is too much and does it become toxic?’’ he asks. ‘‘Who can say it is not affecting families and loved ones.’’ Mr McWhannell claims the Hurunui District Council has not replied to any of his queries about the water and that ‘‘numerous ratepayers have complained about the water and been fobbed off with ‘‘lazy replies from the council’’. ‘‘The council has let Amberley down and why should we spend so much money on hot water cylinders, hot water cylinder elements, jugs and showers and put up with lime deposits all over our cars, and windows when we clean them. And the list goes on,’’ says Mr McWhannell. ‘‘Is the Hurunui Council without funds to support the community and its families? Is the council irresponsible, inadequate, negligent or bankrupt?’’ Mr McWhannell has been told a $3000 filter will fix the problem in his home where he has recently had to replace a hot water cylinder element but he questions why he should have to dig deep into his own pocket for a filter that would require constant filter changes. He supplied photos to The News of the contents of his cylinder that gushed out corroded particles all over the floor of his home when the element was changed. He says he lives in a first world country, not a third world country and says the limeladen water is costing ratepayers a lot of money.and questions why he should have to spend so much on
A commuter bus could soon start running again between Amberley and Christchurch. There was a weekday service prior to the earthquakes, but it stopped when patronage dropped after the quakes, making it uneconomic. However, Red Bus, responding to requests from Amberley locals is considering restarting the service and wants feedback, via a survey, to test the demand, timetable, the route and fares. Red Bus chief executive Paul McNoe says its Darfield and Oxford customers think their service works well. ‘‘No need to run the car, avoid congestion and parking hassles while having time to read or relax on the journey,’’ he says. Anyone wanting a weekday commuter service from Amberley should complete the survey or call 03 39 42604. The survey is at www.redbus.co.nz/ christchurch/amberley questionnaire.
Water woes . . . Particles drained from the bottom of Andrew McWhannell’s water cylinder and bits of the corroded element. He wants action to improve the Amberley water supply SUPPLIED before it costs him more money. a filter which would require filter changes. Others have concerns about the high iron content and have told The News they no longer wash white clothing in the water because it turns brown and that their sinks have been stained. Many are buying bottled water because they don’t like drinking the water and are angry that they are paying twice at the Supermarket and through their rates. Council utilities team leader Brett Beer says improvements in the water quality should start to happen from July. Quality water from Leithfield Beach will be used to dilute the Amberley water to reduce both the iron content responsible for staining and the lime
content. He assures ratepayers the quality of the existing supply is not a health issue with the water tested twice a week. ‘‘It is more of a problem with the iron content staining and the lime making the water hard,’’ he says. Numerous consultation meetings and a survey on the water had been held but costs to improve the water had always proved to be the stumbling block. Eventually support was given to the dilution option and work was progressing well and although the improved supply will start running in July it will take a few weeks to get it up and running properly right across the town.

Mike Hart wants Oxford Area School (OAS) to be the school of choice for people in the area. The OAS deputy principal is set to take over as principal when Bob Norrish retires at the end of term two. He says the strong community and an enjoyment of working with the kids were the biggest attractions in committing himself to Oxford in the longer term and taking on the top job. ‘‘We want to be the school of choice for families in the area and our community has high expectations of our students. OAS can provide the very best possible education for the children of this community. ‘‘Our biggest focus is being a school of excellence and that’s the focus for the next three years. The kids achieving their personal excellence, fostering partnerships with the community and seeing how we can further improve those partnerships between the school, families, the community and the students.’’ However, one of the biggest challenges is a lack of space as the school roll has topped 550 students. Mr Hart is looking forward to nine teaching spaces and a new drama room being built next year. ‘‘That will be really exciting and it gives us an opportunity to dive straight into
modern learning practices. ‘‘Personally I’m really excited in being able to be more involved with the primary side of the school. I’m mainly involved in the secondary side of the school with my deputy principal role, so I’m looking to see how each area can help the other and how we bring the primary and secondary together.’’ He hopes to build on initiatives including senior form classes doing buddy reading with junior classes, house activities and ‘‘Activity Week‘‘, where primary and secondary students do activities together. The school council also has students representing years 5 to 13. Mr Hart has been the secondary school deputy principal at OAS since the third term in 2011 and was previously an assistant principal at Papanui High School in Christchurch. ‘‘Initially I came for the role. Being an assistant principal in a bigger school you only looked at a small part of the school, but at a smaller school you see the whole school. ‘‘That was the biggest drawcard.’’ The Hart family live in Rangiora, but plan to move to Oxford soon. Mr Hart’s wife Rebecca teaches part time at Ouruhia Primary School, near Christchurch, while the couple’s three children are ‘‘very excited about coming to a school where Dad works’’.

POLITICAL COMMENT
by Stuart Smith - MP for Kaikoura
Drought-affected area Perspective important visited with Minister at times like these Last week, the Minister for Primary Industries Nathan Guy and I met with droughtaffected farmers in Cheviot. The North Canterbury area is still extremely dry, having been largely bypassed by the recent rain. I greatly appreciated the opportunity to meet local farmers and to hear about their situation firsthand. I recognise the very difficult conditions they are dealing with and the Stuart Smith impact this is having on the farming community. I welcomed the announcement by Minister Guy that an extra $20,000 has been allocated to the North Canterbury Rural Support Trust. This will help the Trust with more intensive local activities, including individual visits and community events. Rural Assistance Payments (RAP) are also available for those facing extreme hardship. The Rural Support Trust can be contacted on 0800 787 254. Farmers are advised to work with
their accountants to access assistance and flexibility with tax obligations. I encourage people to seek help from the support services available and to look out for one another where possible. North Canterbury now has the highest soil moisture deficit in the country and has recorded the lowest rainfall for January to March since 1972. The 2015 year has been the second driest summer for North Canterbury since records began 75 years ago. The drought has added weight to the call for irrigation and water storage projects in North Canterbury. As a Government we have invested $120 million in the last two Budgets for Crown Irrigation Ltd to invest in major projects around the country. In addition to this, irrigation projects will receive a kickstart of $25 million in operating funding for five years from 2016/17 through the Irrigation Acceleration Fund (IAF).
Leithfield outfall Dear Editor, For the peace of mind of those dependent upon the Leithfield Beach outfall to prevent flooding should we experience another ‘‘rain event’’ would the Hurunui District council please advise: Has a means been identified for clearing the blockage of one of the two discharge pipes which has been in that condition virtually from the time of construction? Will the equipment be available on short notice, be able to be retained and capable of clearing the repeat blockages that are virtually certain to occur during successive high tides at the time? Who will be responsible for authorising deployment of the equipment, including the ability to do so in anticipation (a forecast) of such an event? Has any means been identified of preventing these blockages? Yours, Peter B Nixon.
There has rightly been much media attention devoted to the severe drought conditions being experienced in Hurunui and particularly the Cheviot district. There’s no doubt that in the worst affected areas this drought is as severe and prolonged as many can remember. Care needs to be exercised when commenting, reporting and assessing the effects and severity of adverse events as circumstances are never the same and not comparable between events. An example is the extreme randomness of rainfall in a district like ours. A recent rain delivered a helpful 30mm to very limited parts of North Canterbury, with large areas receiving none and a smattering across the remainder. The reporting of 30mm potentially gives an impression of significant improvement while in fact overall conditions in much of the district actually deteriorated severely. Perspective is important at times like these. It’s inevitable that sections and individuals of every community will suffer devastating effects on their business and families from events and circumstances largely outside their control, a reality of life. The hard reality is, every business is at
risk of adverse events and are responsible for finding a way through. We live in a country where the Government generally gives no ‘direct’ financial assistance to ensure businesses survive these events, but do offer some assistance to ensure families survive. While the focus now is rightly on drought affected dryland farming our irrigated dairy producers are facing a 50 percent income drop resulting from falling export prices, reduced production and increased feed costs due to the drought, factors they have little control over. Our wine industry, after climbing out of prolonged periods of low prices, suffered losses due to a wet autumn last year and reduced crops resulting from severe frosts this year. Our visitor industry is showing signs of recovery after experiencing several years of tough times. People need to work with their financial and industry advisers and support networks, but most importantly tap into support from family and friends. Those networks can help in accessing any available assistance. It is clear and inevitable that this drought will impact our whole community for some considerable time and rain will not undo the damage immediately.
Scam doing rounds An Amberley woman is warning people about a scam doing the rounds. She warns the Flying Horse Paradise company in Malaysia got her address from the phone book and sent her a travel brochure and two scratch cards. ‘‘It is quite clever. Behold ! I have won $165,000 US. To receive the money you need to phone a number supplied on the card,’’ she says. ‘‘When the website is checked it looks OK. If you put ‘‘scam’’ after their name you discover that yes . . . there is
no such thing as a free lunch,’’ The scam is that tax has to be paid on the money before it leaves Malaysia and ‘‘they generously offer to pay half so you only have $3000 to pay’’. The woman says she is highlighting the scam in the hope she has saved someone from a ‘‘terrible mistake’’ by following the directions on the brochure. Police warn if it seems to be good to be true then it is and people should toss the information in the waste paper basket immediately.

Three bin system binned Multi-court
By DAVID HILL
Black rubbish bags are set to remain in the Waimakariri district. The Waimakariri District Council has decided not to introduce its controversial threebin collection proposal at a council meeting last week, following public submissions to the 20152025 Long Term Plan. This means residents in the urban waste collection areas will continue to buy black rubbish bags from the supermarket and use the yellow top recycling bins. However, the council will continue to explore options for waste minimisation, Mayor David Ayers says. ‘‘What I raised at the meeting was the rates impact and the fact many people are doing very well with green waste and what is being offered is inferior to what many are already doing, in terms of composting or paying a contractor to take it away. ‘‘We are well aware that many in our community are living under severe financial constraints and so there is a concern about not putting too much of a rates burden on people.’’ The threebin option received the strongest support in a survey conducted by the council last year and would have been similar to the refuse collection system in Christchurch red top bin for refuse, green for organics and yellow for recycling. Mr Ayers says some submissions expressed the concern that the red top bin
could actually discourage waste minimisation, as the black bags are a direct cost to individuals. ‘‘Some families make a bag last two to three weeks or more, so the black bag actually encourages people to recycle.’’ However, Mr Ayers says the council will continue to explore options for managing organic and kitchen waste, to keep it out of landfill. ‘‘We are aware that some people are unable to compost or cannot afford to pay for someone to pick it up and some put it through their waste unit, which isn’t ideal, so they just put it in the black bag. ‘‘Organic waste in the landfill produces methane gas, which is a significant greenhouse gas which is worse than carbon dioxide.’’ Mr Ayers says there was also some misunderstanding about the areas where the three bin option would have been introduced. The safety of waste collection workers has been raised as a reason for moving to a red bin option. ‘‘We have to pay attention to the health and safety argument. ‘‘But I believe we can mitigate against the risks and be prepared to prosecute those who put sharp objects in bags,’’ Mr Ayers says. He says he is only aware of one major incident from disposing of rubbish in a black plastic rubbish bag. A worker was injured after a broken china plate was not wrapped up properly when it was put out in the rubbish.
facility on track By DAVID HILL
A new multicourt sports facility in North Canterbury remains on track, following last week’s council meeting. The Waimakariri District Council has budgeted $23 million for a new stadium in its 20152025 Long Term Plan over a two year period from 2020 to 2022. Mayor David Ayers says the stadium project will now be revisited in the 2018 long term plan process, with the council to undertake ‘‘a more thorough scoping study’’ in the meantime. The council proposes building the new stadium at the Maria Andrew Sportsground, next to the Rangiora Showgrounds. ‘‘We face the difficulty of not having a clear idea of the scope of the project yet, without a detailed concept plan, so $100,000 in the immediate term has been budgeted to do that work.
‘‘That will give the community ample opportunity over the next few years to decide whether the project should be progressed or not. ‘‘What does seem clear is that the indoor facilities in the district are under real pressure and that situation is not going to improve.’’ The district’s rapidly growing population is stretching the area’s sports’ facilities, with a number of sports organisations including the North Canterbury Sports and Recreation Trust and Basketball North Canterbury calling for a multicourt sports facility. More than 100 junior basketball teams play in a Friday evening competition, stretching North Canterbury’s limited resources. If it’s signed off in the next LTP, Mr Ayers says the council’s contribution would be loanfunded.

seems right at home and shows no sign of wanting to return to her old pub life. However, a couple of days after Raven arrived at the Bruce family home, she went missing. Stacey telephoned Betty thinking Raven might have made her way back to Cat Care. They spent several hours that night calling Raven and searching the neighbourhood for her without success. However a short time after they called off the search Raven casually made herself known again as if nothing had happened. She had found a lofty hiding place and had been quietly observing the frantic search from her secret spot high up on a kitchen cupboard. Once she was satisfied that this family really did want her she made herself known again. Raven was not Stacey’s first choice either. She initially fell in love with a stunning black persian called Milo at Cat Care. An older cat, aged seven and a half, with a playful nature, Milo arrived at Cat Care after his former owner could no longer care for him. By this time Milo had allbut removed himself from his chaotic former home as if he realised he was no longer really wanted there. He has gorgeous jade green eyes with a relaxed, gentle nature. Stacey wanted to take him home but Betty believed he would be better suited to a quieter home without children. Raven has been a great choice for the Bruce family. ‘‘She has settled in really well,’’ Stacey said. ‘‘The kids love her and she is just a lovely companion. Betty is really good at matching cats with families. The Cat Care team do a fantastic job.’’ Betty said they had rehomed 140 cats since last December. Milo is one of her favourites yet to find a new home, but would make a lovely companion for an older couple with a quiet home, she said.

When Chris and Max Button’s muchloved cat died last year, after being run over near their Kaiapoi home, they were heartbroken. Sprockett was a real character and had become wellknown in the neighbourhood where Chris and Max live. ‘‘She used to wander up towards the club and wait in nearby bushes for Max to come home,’’ Chris said. Her death was like losing one of the family and they decided they couldn’t bear to replace her. However, as time went by they decided their house was too quiet without the playful antics of a feline companion. But Sprockett was a hard act to follow. ‘‘We really wanted a cat that was a bit of a hard case.’’ Enter Nugget, a tiny tortoiseshell kitten with beautiful black, white and tan markings. Born last February Nugget had a hard start to life and ended up with Betty Jones and the team at Cat Care Incorporated in Rangiora. When Nugget arrived at Betty’s home she was covered in fleas and in poor health after being doused with fly spray by her previous owner in a futile attempt to deflea her. She wasn’t the Button’s first choice, but won them over by reaching out to Max through her cage then snuggling up to him and purring loudly every time he picked her up during their visits to Cat Care. Nugget has been in her new home now for about a month but already is proving quite a character. She sits curled up on Max’s favourite chair when he is out then races to the door to meet him when he arrives home. ‘‘We are really rapt with her,’’ Chris said. ‘‘She is super friendly and cuddly. They do such a great job with them at Cat Care. It is much better to get a cat that way than

safe during cold weather: Cold weather may worsen some medical conditions such as arthritis. Your pet should be examined by a veterinarian at least once a year, and it’s as good a time as any to get him/her checked out to make sure (s)he is ready and as healthy as possible for cold weather. Just like people, pets’ cold tolerance can vary from pet to pet based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, and health. Be aware of your pet’s tolerance for cold weather, and adjust accordingly. You will probably need to shorten your dog’s walks in very cold weather to protect you both from weather associated health risks. Arthritic and elderly pets may have more difficulty walking on snow and ice and may be more prone to slipping and falling. Longhaired or thickcoated dogs tend to be more coldtolerant, but are still at risk in cold weather. Shorthaired pets feel the cold faster because they have less protection, and shortlegged pets may become cold faster because their bellies and bodies are more likely to come into contact with snowcovered ground. Pets with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances (such as Cushing’s disease) may have a harder time regulating their body temperature, and may be more susceptible to problems from temperature extremes. The same goes for very young and very old pets.

The News wins award The News has once again been recognised at the annual New Zealand Community Newspapers awards. It was runnerup in the Frank Veale Memorial Award for the Most Improved Paper with a circulation over 15,000. The judge, Sue McPherson said The New’s new masthead emphasised its circulation to Hurunui, Kaikoura and Waimakariri and the variation of column widths and white space, along with sans serif heads with less decks had helped to modernise the look of the paper. It is the third year in a row that The News has received an award at the CNA
annual conference. The paper, which is owned by Allied Press, the publisher of the Otago Daily Times, has an audited circulation of 25,831 weekly and is distributed to rural and urban properties from the Waimakariri River in the south to Kekerenga, north of Kaikoura, in the north. The News, which is based in Amberley, also has a Rangiora office, and is one of 13 daily and weekly South Island papers in the Allied Press stable, which also broadcasts CTV in Canterbury and Dunedin Television in Otago.

An Amberley businessman returned home last month with a highlyprized trophy tucked in his luggage. It was the Possum Bourne Memorial Trophy won by Ian Ffitch, New Zealand’s leading ATV (allterrain vehicle) and Super Quad bike rider. Ffitch won the trophy competing in the world’s longest gravel hill climb, the famous 14.5 kilometre Race to the Sky held in the Cardrona Valley, near Wanaka on April 17 to April 19. The trophy is awarded to the fastest New Zealand competitor in the race. The Race to the Sky made world headlines for all the wrong reasons in April 2003 when Bourne, one of New Zealand’s most successful and popular rally drivers, died after suffering serious head injuries during a practicerun collision on the course. This year the drivers of more than 100 cars, bikes and buggies competed to win the coveted title of King of the Hill. The race has been won eight times by Japanese rally driver Nobuhiro Tajima but this year he made a spectacular exit after
badly damaging his car in a horrific crash during the race. Amazingly he was not badly hurt. The race was won by Scottish driver Alister McRae, who is based in Perth. Ffitch said it was great to win the Possum Bourne Memorial Trophy for a second time. The trophy was presented this year by Bourne’s youngest son, Spencer, aged 16. Ffitch also won the inaugural trophy in 2004. His win this year became a long shot after engine problems with his Super Quad bike during preliminary racing meant he faced a race against the clock to repair the engine for the Final where he eventually finished in third place overall. Ffitch lives in Christchurch but works in Amberley running his own business, Ffitch Racing. He formed the company in 2000 after quad bike racing became popular and using his extensive racing knowledge today specialises in supplying high performance ATV accessories for the New Zealand and international markets.

Ploughing on show The precise art of ploughing was on display in North Canterbury last weekend. The annual Ploughing Match was held in fine, sunny weather, on flat, dry land farmed by Maurice and Geoff Winter in Swannanoa, and provided a colourful mix of old and new. The big, comfortable, modern tractors, with reversible ploughs, working alongside the gentle, graceful Clydesdales hitched to ploughs, with a driver often walking behind, provided a striking contrast between farming today and a century ago. The Clydesdales attracted most attention on both days. It was hard for spectators to take their eyes off beautiful giants of the equine world as they quietly went about their work. The Oxford Working Men’s Club Vintage Section Ploughing Match competition was held on Saturday, with the North Canterbury Ploughing Match Association competition on Sunday. Gordon Carter, from Rakaia, won the Vintage Qualifying event on Saturday, while Bill Skurr, from Oxford, and Alistair Chambers, from Lincoln, deadheated for first in the Vintage Open. The Horses’ Plough competition on
Saturday was won by Paul Power, from Kaiapoi, with his two Clydesdales. They also won on Sunday. The Silver Plough, on Sunday, went to Malcolm Taylor, from Cambridge, with Pierce Watson, from Ashburton, winning the Vintage Qualifying event, and Bill Skurr winning the Vintage Open event. The Silver Plough winner will now go straight through to the New Zealand Ploughing Championships to be held in Palmerston North next year. However, the winners of the Vintage events, and the Horse Team Ploughing event will have to compete at a Canterbury ploughoff to decide who will represent their region at the New Zealand Championships. A date and venue for the ploughoff is yet to be decided. Malcolm Hunt, a retired farmer from Rangiora, who is in his eighties, was a spectator at the event on Sunday. He said he used to do a lot of ploughing but not with Clydesdales. However he remembered when he was a small child sitting on his grandfather’s knee, while he ploughed fields using a team of Clydesdales. Ploughing was highly competitive he said. ‘‘It’s quite an art, but the modern tractors today with reversible ploughs make it so much easier.’’

Stuart Grant’s departure will be a big loss for Kaikoura. Mayor Winston Gray says Mr Grant, who recently announced he will retire as Kaikoura District Council chief executive after 18 years on December 4, has made a major contribution to the district. ‘‘Stuart’s contribution has been excellent. He came here when things weren’t too flash and now we’ve got space to grow. ‘‘He has turned Kaikoura around from a precarious financial state to a community with sound infrastructure and resilience to go forward. He brought innovative thinking around accessing outside funding for much of the infrastructure works, which has reduced the burden on ratepayers over the years.’’ Mr Gray says Mr Grant oversaw some major projects, including the Ocean Ridge and Seaviews subdivisions, and a plan change on the Kaikoura Peninsula, which has given the town ‘‘huge capacity to grow’’.

integral role in ‘‘the strength of the community relationship with Ngai Tahu and the local runanga’’, and in Kaikoura’s environmental sustainability in becoming ‘‘recognised as leaders around the country for the results we have achieved’’, Mr Gray says. ‘‘Kaikoura is gaining an increased momentum as a tourism destination and a town where people can enjoy a fantastic lifestyle. While growth has been a challenge, I firmly believe we are getting closer to having some larger investments made here that will strengthen our economic base. ‘‘We are in a position to accommodate this growth and much of the credit must go to your work Stuart,’’ Mr Gray wrote in his report to last week’s Kaikoura District Council meeting. Mr Gray says he has spoken to Equip from Local Government New Zealand to begin the process of finding a new chief executive and says he is grateful the council has six months to find a replacement.

New Zealand’s tourism industry leaders are set to visit Kaikoura next week. Tourism New Zealand board members will visit Kaikoura on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 2 and 3, and Mayor Winston Gray says it is a major boost for the town. ‘‘It’s really good to have them come to Kaikoura and it’s a real opportunity for us to promote the area. ‘‘It’s all down to (Destination Kaikoura general manager) Glenn Ormsby. He has got the connections and he has arranged it for us.’’ Mr Ormsby says he was at a dinner with Tourism NZ chairwoman Kerry Prendergast during a tourism conference last year, ‘‘so I

Tourism NZ will then hold its monthly board meeting at Encounter Kaikoura on Wednesday morning. Mr Ormsby says Ms Prendergast and Tourism NZ chief executive Kevin Bowler are both expected to attend.

Board recognised The Kaiapoi Community Board has been recognised for its efforts to redesign Trousselot Park. The board won the best practice award in the ‘‘enhancing communities’’ category at the biennial New Zealand National Community Boards conference in the Bay of Islands recently for its efforts to give something back to young people. ‘‘Of all the projects that the board has been involved in over the past couple of years, this one perhaps best typified our involvement and engagement with the youth of the area,’’ says board chairwoman Robyn Wallace. ‘‘It is one of our objectives to bring life, family and laughter back into the centre of Kaiapoi following the earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, and this project has been very successful in providing a focus to that.’’ The board featured the Weighty line up . . .

Weighty line-up at pig hunt By ROBYN BRISTOW Over 30 pigs, including a boar weighing in at 82.5kg, were hung up at the Mandeville Pig Hunting Club’s annual competition last Sunday. Around 100 hunters took to the hills around North Canterbury from Friday evening until weigh in at the Mandeville Tavern in
Kaiapoi at 3pm Sunday, in an endeavour to get a share of the $8000 prize pool. But not all were successful with tales of woe about the ones that got away but not a word on where any of the prize winning pigs were taken from. ‘‘Up the Lewis Pass’’ was the reply to one enquiry. Ryan Nesbit’s 82.5 kg boar, won
him the top prize with Dave Good coming in second with a 79kg animal and B Funnel third with a 74.5kg boar. The heaviest sow was taken out by Mark Jones with an animal which weighed in at 40kg and M Neal was second with a 37.5kg sow. Jones also won the prize for the best average weight 48.5kg.

The skate park has been hugely popular with children and young people since it was completed earlier this year and a successful Skate Jam was organised by WaiYouth on Saturday. In the enhancing communities category, the judges were looking for projects or initiatives which promoted diversity in the community and which have incorporated the views of young people in the decision making or addressed the needs of children and young people. It is one of three categories in the awards, the other two being leadership and engaging communities. The carved trophy, which goes with the award, is on show at the Ruataniwha, Kaiapoi Civic Centre.
Disaster seminar Kaikoura tourist operators are encouraged to prepare for natural disasters. A civil defence seminar is being planned to help tourist operators to be prepared to help tourists during an emergency and prepare their businesses to recover from a disaster and strengthen their resilience. Mayor Winston Gray says given the number of tourists who visit the town each, it is essential that safety measures are place in case a tsunami or earthquake or another natural disaster occurs.

The Grizzlies . . . Coaxed by former All Black coach Alex (Grizz) Wyllie competing in the qualifying rounds of the Mixed Pull Teams competition at the Sefton annual Tug of War PHOTO SHELLEY TOPP contest at the Sefton School grounds in North Canterbury last Sunday.
Tug of War contest By SHELLEY TOPP Parking was at a premium in the quiet little North Canterbury town of Sefton last Sunday. An estimated 1200 people crowded in to the Sefton School grounds for the school’s Tug of War fundraiser. It’s an annual event for amateur teams of eight plus two reserves. The competition is divided into two main events, the Trophy Pull Teams with a winning prize of $1500 and the Mixed Pull Teams, with first prize of $1000. Organiser, Richard Lange, of Sefton, said it was Sefton’s big day out. ‘‘We are expecting to raise about $15,000 for the Sefton School,’’ he said. ‘‘The kids get a direct benefit from the money raised but there is also a positive
flow on for the community too.’’ Once again this year the Cody Riders, made up of Sefton Motorcycle Club members, proved unbeatable in the Trophy Pull Teams competition. ‘‘They have won five years in a row now,’’ said Mr Lange. The Sefton Hooligans, taking part in the competition for the first time, won the Mixed Pull Teams event. There was also two Truck Pull competitions on the day in which teams had to haul a parked vehicle over a set distance as fast as they could. The St Bede’s College team, from Christchurch, took out the main Truck Pull event winning $300 for their school, while the Fastest Women’s Truck Pull was won by the Owens Freight team, who won $200.

Second chance for unwanted horses By AMANDA BOWES Behind a hedge, on a sprawling property near Woodend, unwanted standardbreds are being given a second chance at life. Jackie Law, along with several other women based in other parts of Canterbury, save trotters, pacers and sometimes broodmares when they have finished their racing or breeding careers and are destined for the pet food factory. Working with Standardbred Recycling and Rehoming, set up by Southbridge woman Michelle Morrison, Jackie has a constant flow of horses no longer wanted by their owners, breeders or trainers that she finds homes for. The dedication of the women, passionate about giving these horses another chance, has resulted in over 500 unwanted standardbreds going to new homes. As well as rehoming horses, Jackie trains, breaks in and races her own horses as well as for others. She also prepares yearlings for the annual sale and like many who care for animals, has acquired a collection of give away dogs, cats and a coloured sheep named Kevin, who thinks he is one of the stable’s team. When a call goes out for an unwanted horse to be picked up, generally whoever is closest will take the horse on. Only those that are healthy and able to go on and lead useful lives are taken in. Sometimes young horses are rescued that haven’t even got to the stage of being broken into harness. They may be the victims of simply too many youngsters coming on and being surplus to requirements. When a horse come off the track, or has been in training but not qualified, they are in racing condition. Each horse is treated as an individual
Rescued . . . Jackie Law and ‘‘Bek’’, one of her rescued horses that is now saddle broken, will go PHOTO: AMANDA BOWES on to make a new owner very happy. and when the time is right and they are ready, they are broken to saddle. Once they are happy in their new role, they are matched up to a new owner. Jackie says some horses come down from the racing ‘‘buzz’’ quickly, others take more time. The horses are sold as green needing further training and are placed into new homes all over New Zealand. While she loves all of the horses that come into her care, she says some are particularly special and will sometimes end up staying longer than usual, as they are too hard to part with. The majority of horses do go to new homes though and it has to be that way to enable the ones waiting to be picked up to have their chance at a new
life also. The once unwanted horses have excelled as hacks, show horses, musterers’ horses, trekking horses, pony club mounts, hunters and jumpers. Their inherently biddable natures means breaking them to saddle is usually a relatively hassle free task and Jackie’s young daughter quite often helps her by being the first one to ride the new recruits. With the horses all having different personalities, Jackie and the others are careful that the horse and prospective new owner match up, as they want to try to ensure the horse will go to a forever home. With Facebook being a popular forum for helping to rehome the horses,

Standardbred Recycling and Rehoming also has a page that features horses that have been rehomed in their new environments. To make ends meet, with constant feed, vet and farrier bills, Jackie also runs a cleaning business. When she’s not training, racing or rescuing, she will be hard at work ensuring others have a spick and span house or work environment. As the number of yearlings entered in the yearling sales increase, with only a small number probably ever making it to the race track, the need for people like Jackie, Michelle and the others who rescue and have a genuine concern for the Standardbred and its welfare, will only keep increasing.

By SHELLEY TOPP The bright pink seat, potted flowers and ‘‘welcome friend’’ sign outside the shop are the first clues. A string of brightly coloured Fanny Adams underwear pegged up along the back wall inside is another. The Sharney Downs Horse Cover Repairs and Gifts shop in Meyer Place, just a few metres off Oxford’s Main Street, is not your everyday cover repair business. It is more like stepping into a friendly neighbour’s home for a look at their colourful collection of treasures. The shop is a dream come true for owner Vicki Fursdon. She started out in a small way repairing covers from her home but with a background in retail she decided to ‘‘take a gamble and open a shop’’. Vicki wanted her shop to reflect her joie de vivre, her love of horses, and also the friendly, welcoming nature of country life. A love of cowboy (Western) culture, is also obvious in Vicki’s shop. She’s wearing boots and a red dress made with a cowgirl fabric, and the ringtone on her cellphone sounds like a paddock full of excited horses neighing and snorting. The Ten Guitars Heartland CD plays Marty Robbins singing his famous cowboy classic El Paso. ‘‘One night a wild young cowboy came in, wild as the west Texas wind...’’ The front of the shop displays an eclectic mix of horsey giftware, plus a big variety of other goods. Expect the unexpected here. Cushions with a handpainted cowboy boot covered in poppies. Bits and bridles, hip flasks, tea towels, customised blackboards. A gorgeous tee shirt featuring
a palomino cantering next to a hawk in flight, and highheeled, handmade shoes sit beside the handwritten slogan: ‘‘Family is like nice heels. Always there when you need a lift.’’ There is also a large range of New Zealand made, handcrafted vinaigrettes, sauces, relishes and sweets from Heavensent, and wall hangings. An old film projector sits in a corner next to a male mannequin torso showing off a pair of tightfitting, hot pink Calvin Klein men’s underwear, is also a frequent talking point. ‘‘People always ask about the movie projector,’’ Vicki says with a grin. It is a long working day for Vicki. She leaves home at 4.45am every morning to start her other job, helping Oxford dairy farmer David Rowe milk his cows. She leaves the farm at 8am and heads back home to shower and dress for a day at her shop. ‘‘I trade my gumboots and overalls for a dress and high heels,’’ she says. One of the most popular items in the shop is the large range of New Zealand made Fanny Adams underwear, specifically designed for horse riders. ‘‘I sell a lot of them,’’ Vicki says. ‘‘They are just really comfy because they don’t ride up or roll down when you are riding.’’ There is a work bench out the back and a large sewing machine where Vicki repairs covers, makes aprons, leads and also does clothing alterations for customers. This part of the business will soon expand to include a mobile cover repair service, and she is getting Brian Barclay at the West Melton firm B.E.C. Fabrications to make a customised trailer for this purpose. She is also planning to offer customers a float rental service.

Wintering workshops popular

Wintering workshops are proving popular, as dairy farmers seek tips to get through after a challenging season. DairyNZ consulting officer Noelle Fox says around 70 people attended the Waimakariri district ‘‘wintering for success’’ workshop at a farm near Oxford recently and she has heard of similar turnouts at other events around Canterbury. ‘‘We had a good discussion around the potential for different types of crops for winter feed. ‘‘Moving forward, most people are managing their winter feed supply reasonably well and they know what crops they have. And we have some pretty accurate yield data to help them compare their feed budgets. ‘‘They really need to be on the ball and be aware of the situation they are in, moving forward.’’ Ms Fox says the overall outlook in the area is looking reasonably positive, given the challenges of a dry summer and the low milk price, but she encourages farmers to get involved in DairyNZ’s ‘‘tactics for tight times’’ programme and look out for more wintering workshops. ‘‘With the lower payout, cash flows will be tight right through into the early spring period, so people need to look ahead and think about how they will manage through the spring.’’ DairyNZ is organising a series of wintering campaign workshops this month featuring DairyNZ principal scientist for animal science Dr John Roche. ‘‘People need to get accurate body condition score measurements for their animals so they can target the at risk animals and not forget about the young stock,’’ Ms Fox says. ‘‘The young stock tend to be the ones which suffer when feed is tight, so check with your grazers to make sure there is

Federated Farmers has welcomed the Government’s public consultation on climate change, ahead of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, in December. ‘‘We live in a global world, where as much as we are a part of its problems we are a part of its solutions,’’ says Federated Farmers climate change spokesman Anders Crofoot. ‘‘It is important that the public are a part of the discussion in setting New Zealand’s post 2020 climate change target. A critical element to having that discussion is that everyone understands the issues and tradeoffs involved in setting our contribution.’’ Mr Crofoot says New Zealand’s economy is driven by exports, with 73 percent of the country’s merchandise exports coming from the primary industries and worth $35.2 billion. United Nations projections have the global population peaking at 11 billion by 2075 and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that agricultural output needs to increase by 60% by 2050 to meet this growth. ‘‘While New Zealand cannot feed the world we will play our part. It
would be irresponsible of us to squander or underutilise our resources,’’ Mr Crofoot says. ‘‘Aside from being a net food exporter in a world of increasing food shortage, New Zealanders can be very proud that our farmers are among the most carbon efficient in the world. This puts us at an advantage on a global scale both scientifically and economically. ‘‘Through our commitments with the Global Research Alliance on agricultural greenhouse gases and the Palmerston Northbased Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium (PGGRC) our country’s leadership extends beyond being an efficient producer of quality food and puts us on the world stage in our ability to reduce emissions.’’ Mr Crofoot says farmers’ investment in science through the levyfunded bodies has reduced their emissions per unit of meat and milk produced by 1.3% a year since 1990. ‘‘Our scientific and innovative advances are something we can export to the rest of the world’s primary producers. If we keep investing in institutes like these we will be able to further our climate change commitments while growing a strong and vibrant economy.’’

Boost for poultry club By DAVID HILL Entries were down, but Rangiora’s poultry club received a boost last weekend. The North Canterbury Poultry and Pigeon Club’s 117th annual show, at the Rangiora Showgrounds last weekend, attracted just 454 entries, down from 533 last year, but gained some new members. Club member Ken Orchard says the club has gained some new members, who have left the Christchurch Poultry, Pigeon and Bantam Club, and received enquiries from a couple of members of the public keen to exhibit next year. ‘‘It’s a great boost for us to get some new members, because as a small club we struggle to keep putting a show together each year.’’ One keen exhibitor is 14yearold Riley BellTaylor, of Southbrook, near Rangiora, who won best female duck or drake with his Indian runner duck. ‘‘I’ve been breeding them since I was 11 or 12yearsold, but this is my biggest win for a while.’’ Riley says his family entered 17 birds in all, mostly ducks, but also a game bantam and some Rhode Island Red hens. He says he hopes to compete at other shows around the South Island this year, including the national show in Oamaru,

Young Rangiora driver runner-up Young team Rangiora High School student Ari Pettigrew finished runnerup in New Zealand’s premier young driver development programme raced off at the Manfeild race circuit near Feilding last weekend. Ari (16) was just pipped by fellow student Liam Lawson (13), from Pukekohe, for the $50,000 prize package. Young aspiring race car drivers from throughout the country gathered for the twoday competition with just six finalists making it through to the all important shootout last Sunday. ‘‘Ari was really the ‘dark horse’ of the competition and as the pressure came on he responded to put himself right in contention,’’ says cofounder Grant McDonald, who also lives in Rangiora. Ari went to the scholarship from a 10year background in grass karting and as runnerup he will take the driver’s seat at any time during the 12month programme if Lawson is for any reason unable to compete. He is also offered coaching and mentoring by Mr McDonald to help him progress into motor racing. Ari is the second young driver from Rangiora to win the runnerup prize after James Penrose took that same honour in 2007. The SpeedSport Scholarship programme was jointly founded by Mr McDonald and race team owner Dennis Martin, of Palmerston North, to offer young drivers a kickstart to a motor racing career and includes an all expenses paid year racing a Formula First singleseater in the Manfeild Winter Series and the New Zealand championship series.

The winner also receives a personalised race suit, boots and racing gloves provided by Chicane. Founded in 2000, the scholarship has started the careers of some of New Zealand’s top drivers and on this 15th anniversary weekend, three of the programmes most successful stars all enjoyed international success dedicated to their roots.
Triple NZ Grand Prix winner and TRS champion Nick Cassidy won a Formula 3 race in Japan. V8 Supercar star Shane van Gisbergen drove his team’s factory McLaren to victory at Silverstone, England. GP2 rookie Richie Stanaway won the Formula One support race at the Monaco Grand Prix and dedicated his win to the SpeedSport Scholarship.
The Waimak United division one men’s team hosted Selwyn on Saturday at the Kendall Park turf keen to follow up their upset first round win, in front of the best crowd of the season. The early part of the game was dominated by a fancied Selwyn side that included former Canterbury United rep Dan Ede. However the young Waimak side started to get into the game and created opportunities on goal. Pressure on the defence of Selwyn was rewarded when a soft back pass was cleared by the goalkeeper into the back of Tommy Chadwick rebounding into the goal. Play then remained quite even until Dan Ede rose above the Waimak defence to head home an equaliser before the break. The second half started again with both Waimak and Selwyn creating opportunities, but neither being able to score until the 55th minute, when a well worked corner was finished off by 16year old Luke Frazer for his first senior goal. Waimak’s midfield was working hard along with centre back Brad Stewart, who was putting his body on the line with aggressive tacking, and this was knocking Selwyn off its game. Waimak then began to create opportunities, but was unable to score and was punished again when Dan Ede broke through the defence to equalise. Late in the game Waimak should have completed the victory, but was unable to score in two goal mouth scrambles. Waimak coach Dan Clarkson awarded the player of the day to the team, which had included five 16yearold players, boding well for the club’s future.

Oxford, Glenmark earn home playoffs By CHRIS ROWE North Canterbury will have two rugby teams with home quarterfinal advantage, as Oxford and Glenmark continued their good form on Saturday. Glenmark stayed top of its side of the draw with a relatively easy win over Prebbleton, gaining the bonus point in the process, and will now face Burnham/ Dunsandel/Irwell. Prebbleton was competitive with a good set piece, but two tries immediately after halftime finished the match as a real contest. Number 8 Sam Kartoa grabbed two tries in the course of an impressive effort while winger Sam Greenwood was also to the fore. Scott Vincent and Matt Keane were others to show out, both on the score sheet and in general play. Oxford, through securing a bonus point win over Hornby and with Lincoln beating Celtic, has gained a home quarterfinal against Southern. With a fast track and sunny conditions, both teams utilised their backlines as much as possible, which made a great spectacle. Leading 10nil at the break, Oxford got down to business and scored five second half tries with Hornby replying with two fine tries of its own. Shining for Oxford was the loose forwards Josh Brown and captain Stew Dalzell, while halfback Anthony Barton and centre Maaloa Taumohuni also had strong games. All, except Barton, got on the score sheet. Blair Grice, Andrew Inch and Logan Telfer added the other tries. Ashley produced its best performance of the season to celebrate Andrew Dunbar’s 250th division 1 appearance. It led 10nil after eight minutes, with Southern forced to play catch up rugby throughout. Ethan Cameron was strong in the mid field gaining two tries, with Dan Cook, Brett
NORTH CANTERBURY RUGBY SUB UNION DRAW FOR SATURDAY 30 MAY 2015 CLUB DAY: HAWARDEN
Quarterfinalists . . . Old rivals Oxford and Glenmark, shown in their clash earlier in the FILE PHOTO season, have both qualified for the quarterfinals on Saturday. Cameron and Matt Rowe, in his 50th match, dashing 80 metres for the final try. The goal kicking of new firstfive Lance Taylor was also impressive, missing just one long range attempt. But noone was going to deny Dunbar his ‘‘playeroftheday’’ recognition, this week operating from Number 8. Southbridge secured its quarterfinal position with a comfortable win over Kaiapoi. Three firsthalf tries put Southbridge out to a 2010 lead, with Kaiapoi having responded with a try to secondfive Sean Swart. Kaiapoi looked like it may have brought itself back into the game when Brook Retallick landed an early secondhalf penalty, but Southbridge never conceded the ascendancy and as tempers flared in the final quarter Southbridge ran in two late tries to register a comfortable win. Saracens had success at its Club Day, winning an illtempered match over Hampstead. Cards, both yellow and red, were issued throughout with the visitors
Rugby - from the Sidelines Both Kaiapoi rugby teams in the combined teenage grades had significant wins. The under 18 side downed the previously unbeaten Malvern Combined by 4214. Firstfive Dante Love and No 8 Wiremu Richardson both had very strong games. This Saturday Kaiapoi will be looking for a repeat when it travels to Ashburton to take on Celtic, which lost its unbeaten record when it went down 1046 to Hurunui. In the under 16 grade the combined KaiapoiWoodend team had its first win for the season beating the much higherranked West Melton side 4212. The inside back combination of
Vaysion Kara and Kyle Williams impressed for the combined side. It was a wonderful moment at Loburn when the Southern management, although beaten on the day, presented the player of the day tie to Andrew Dunbar in recognition of his 250th appearance for Ashley. The gesture was well received, with the tie soon being proudly worn. It has been a tough year to date for the Rangiora High School 1st 15, but last Wednesday in a Round 5 fixture of the UC Championship it beat Lincoln High School 2414 to retain the Country Cup. This was a good effort and well deserved.
down permanently to 14 men within the first half. Winger Grant Broderson scored early for Saracens and prop forward Peter Manahi muscled over near halftime for a 127 lead. Although outgunned, Hampstead scored two penalties and a well taken drop goal to lead 1612 with just minutes to play. But another yellow card for a dangerous tackle saw the visitors reduced to 13 men. A final attacking scrum to Saracens produced a penalty try, with most of the Hampstead team walking off rather than waiting for the successful Dion Jones conversion. Halfback Ollie Ashby was the Waimak Real Estate player of the day, with Broderson and number 8 Johnny Turnbull also impressive. Ohoka went down to the combined Burnham side with Freeman Eder, contributing the points via three penalties. Max Lines and Hamish Collings had good matches among the forward pack. However, Jesse McNulty suffered what appeared to be a bad leg injury.

No Change to rubbish and recycling collections and services over Queen’s Birthday Weekend
Scholars . . . Rangiora High School principal Peggy Burrows acknowledges scholarship winners Noellalee Taua (academic, left), Tahlia HermanWatt (sports) and Anna Menzies (creative arts) after a school assembly last week.

RHS scholars recognised Three Rangiora High School students have received scholarships. Noellalee Taua (academic), Tahlia HermanWatt (sports) and Anna Menzies (creative arts) were presented with scholarships from the Waimakariri Youth Council at a school assembly last week. The scholarships, for creative arts, sports and academic pursuits, saw the recipients receive a cheque for $500, a trophy and a certificate. Anna says winning the $500 means a lot to her.
‘‘The money will help me and my mum pay for my national New Zealand camps and other football things. ‘‘This scholarship is sooooo amazing to get. It’s an amazing opportunity to win because it really does help me in so many ways.’’ Noellalee says she is thrilled to win the academic scholarship. ‘‘Being the one who has won the academic scholarship means so much to me knowing there were so many applicants. ‘‘I thought I wouldn’t have had a
chance at receiving the scholarship, but as soon as I found out I had won it I was absolutely speechless and had no idea what to say. I wasn’t going to apply for this scholarship but I am so happy I did in the end.’’ Waimakariri District Council youth coordinator Tina Curry says the scholarships were presented to year 10 and 11 students, as the youth council wanted to ‘‘acknowledge the achievements of the younger students at high school as there is a feeling that older students tend to receive more acclaim’’.
Staff wellbeing essential The wellbeing of staff is crucial, especially during the winter months. Well Being North Canterbury is looking to lead by example by considering the wellbeing of its own staff and volunteers, as they deal with increasingly complex mental health issues, five years on from the Canterbury earthquakes. Manager Deirdre Ryan says it is about ‘‘walking the talk’’. ‘‘We call ourselves wellbeing and that’s something we want to encourage other people to do, so we need to do that ourselves. ‘‘It’s about being intentional with your own personal health and wellbeing, so you can keep up with the demands of operating in an environment such as this.’’ Well Being North Canterbury’s staff wellbeing initiatives are being led by volunteer coordinator Nicki Carter. ‘‘We are seeing our staff working to absolute capacity,’’ she says. ‘‘There’s lots of mental health issues out there and we are seeing a lot of complex cases that we are having to work through, and are staff are having to
live through it in their own lives too.’’ Ms Carter says staff are working through mental health issues resulting from unresolved insurance issues, the lack of affordable housing, the drought and social isolation, as well as ongoing earthquake related stress. ‘‘Alongside all of that, we have the challenges of keeping an eye on our team members. It’s about being aware of stress levels and managing that. ‘‘We’ve done a bit of work around the five ways to wellbeing and we’ve changed it a wee bit to fit with our organisation.’’ She says the idea is for colleagues to come up with ideas for what helps them ‘‘get through and to be well’’. As part of this process, workshops have been held for staff on emotional health and wellbeing, where staff were encouraged to come up with personal plans and stories to increase selfawareness ‘‘in the journey of wellbeing’’, Ms Carter says. This includes taking regular breaks ‘‘and going out for a walk in those breaks’’, while a massage therapist visits once a week to offer short massages at a cheap rate.
Rubbish and Week 2 recycling collection will be carried out as usual on Monday 1 June (Queen’s Birthday holiday) for Oxford, Cust, Rangiora-Woodend Road, Woodend, Pegasus, Sefton and the Northern Rural Collection Area.

The Ministry of Education also acknowledges the neighbouring Woodend Community Centre will not be large enough to cater for the roll growth proposed and it will not require the council to contribute financially to upgrading the facilities. They plan to enter into the detailed design over the next few months. This will include the replacement of classrooms at the northern end of the school and upgrading the teaching blocks at the southern end. The outdoor space will also be upgraded. When the council sold land to the Ministry of Education in 2001 it imposed a condition that if the roll of Woodend School reached 480 pupils the land would be offered back to the council at the current market value for repurchase if the council so desired to protect greenspace provision. However, Mr Craig Sargison, Manager Community and Recreation of the Waimakariri District Council says the present level of greenspace provision at the Woodend Recreation Ground is adequate to meet the community’s needs.

Woodend roll cap to be removed Woodend School’s roll cap is set to be removed as the school plans for future growth. The Waimakariri District Council recently approved a Ministry of Education request to remove the Woodend School’s roll cap of 480 students as the school seeks to develop a master plan which could see the school roll reach 600 by 2030. Woodend School’s roll reached 380 at the end of last year and is expected to at least match that number again this year. Further roll growth is expected as the Ravenswood and other residential developments get under way. The roll cap was imposed in 2001 in an agreement between the Ministry of Education and the council to protect the greenspace provision in the area, community and recreation manager said in a report to last week’s council meeting. The council authorised staff to conclude a variation agreement with the Crown to remove the roll cap on Woodend School provided there is no further encroachment of the school on to the reserve land.
