NORTH CANTERBURY’S BEST READ COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
SIREN SHOCKERS
COMMUNITIES REPORTERS
Waiau Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief fire officer Hugh Wells
reckons about half of motorists
know just what to do when they
see the sirens coming.
The other half either slam on
the breaks or just plain ignore the
issue.
‘‘We had one just a year or so
ago ... we were going to a fire and
we were coming up behind a
vehicle, lights and sirens going.
They finally realised we were
behind them and chucked the
anchors on and almost caused
their own crash,’’ Wells said.
This and other examples came
to light as part of an investigation
by Fairfax community reporters
in Canterbury, Otago and Southland into motorists’ reactions
when emergency service vehicles
used their sirens and flashing
lights. Examples of poor behaviour include police cars being
stuck for several kilometres
behind motorists unaware of their
presence and drivers panicking
and risking their lives by running
red lights in the mistaken belief
they are ‘helping’ emergency service drivers.
There have also been recent
instances of motorists driving
through potentially serious crash
sites, and foreign drivers seemingly ignorant of the road rules
relating to emergency vehicles.
During the Hanmer Fires,
Wells said stopped traffic queued
on the way to the Lewis Pass was
summarily unhelpful while traffic
coming towards the firefighters
moved over to let them through.
As did most motorists driving
towards
emergency service
vehicles under lights and sirens.
‘‘They’d shut the road and we
had to come through ... but the
traffic we were behind were like
‘what, we’re stopped, what do you
want us to do?’ We had lights and
sirens going and people weren’t
moving, it was quite surprising.’’
After police moved traffic
further to the roadside, Wells said
the fire engines could fit through
the gap in the middle of the road.
‘‘If you’re stopped in a queue, if
you pull over to the left as much
as [safely] possible, there’s
usually enough room to get
through. You only have to slow
and move to the side of the road
somewhere safe ... slamming on
your anchors isn’t going to help.’’
Rakaia chief volunteer fire
officer Tyrone Burrowes said the
brigade was going to a two-car
crash at the Chertsey rail crossing
recently.
‘‘We had one car who wouldn’t
pull over. It was a foreign driver
and we had to overtake them. He
wasn’t reacting to the lights or the
sirens.’’
Christchurch metro area fire
commander Dave Stackhouse
said in-car distractions and
motorists blithely unaware of
what was going on around them
was an ongoing frustration for
crews heading to emergencies.
‘‘By far the majority of people
are not checking their rear vision
mirrors. If they are not checking,
and the music is up high, it only
frustrates emergency teams,’’ he
said.
Acting North Canterbury
police commander, Sergeant
Anna Lloyd, said a couple of
minutes could make all the difference when police cars, fire
engines or ambulances responded
to emergencies.
‘‘We do not drive under lights
and siren to every incident, so if
we are it will be important. It
could be your family member or
best friend that we are trying to
get to, so please make it as easy
for us as possible.’’
She said she was ‘‘regularly
amazed’’ by drivers being completely oblivious to the fact that
she was behind them, lights flashing and sirens wailing ‘‘full
noise’’.
‘‘I cannot stress enough how
important it is to always remain
vigilant when you are driving.
Don’t have the music up so loud
that you cannot hear any
approaching sirens. And do not
panic – or put yourself at risk to
try and get out of the way.’’

Hi Rangiora,
Well it’s been a long time
coming but I have finally and
officially joined the Northern
Outlook fold.
Although I was introduced in
the paper at the start of the year, I
ended up continuing to report for
the Kaikoura Star until last week.
So after a rather hectic 10 weeks
travelling the dusty highway back
and forth on a weekly and
sometimes thrice weekly basis to
cover Kaikoura’s news, my life is
taking a turn for the calmer and I
am very much looking forward to
settling properly in Rangiora.
This will not only be more
relaxing for me but also for my
family, and I am sure in time
(once I figure out what I am doing)
my ‘new’ colleagues.
It’s great to finally join the
team and I can’t wait to get stuck
in to some community news, so
please contact me with any stories
you’d like me to cover.
I look forward to hearing from
you,
Have a great week,
Emma.

Changes afoot
for rural mail
EMMA DANGERFIELD
Changes to rural delivery kick in
at the start of next month affecting more than 7,000 customers in
the Waimakariri district.
From April 1 there will be no
letter deliveries or mail pick-ups
on Saturdays for rural customers
who are currently on a six-day
delivery, although parcels and
subscription newspapers will continue to be delivered.
A New Zealand Post spokesperson said the rural areas
covered on Saturday delivery
runs would vary depending on
what parcels and subscription
papers were being delivered.
It would not be fair to deliver
mail to some customers and not to
others in those areas, the spokesperson said.
NZ Post was given the flexibility by the Government to move
to five day delivery in rural areas
in 2013, however only about a
quarter of customers saw a
change to the service in that time,
with the remainder continuing to
enjoy Saturday deliveries.
Chief operating officer Mark
Stewart said the latest move was
inevitable due to the drop in
letters, with rural delivery letter
volumes having decreased by a
quarter in the last four years com-
pared to a 23 per cent increase in
parcel volumes in the same
period.
The decline in postal deliveries
is something of a chicken and egg
scenario, with far fewer people
opting for the traditional pen and
paper in favour of modern technology.
Letter volumes in both rural
and urban areas have virtually
halved in the past decade – in
2006, more than a billion letters
went through the network compared with 578 million in the year
to June 2016.
During 2016 letter volumes
declined by approximately 8 per
cent, a rate of about 60 million
items a year, an annual loss in
revenue of about $30m.
The company held off moving
to five day letter delivery for rural
customers for as long as possible,
however the continuing decline in
letter volumes meant six day letter delivery was no longer
sustainable.
‘‘We’re continuing to work
hard to bring new business on
board to maintain a commercially
viable rural network for us and
our contractors, and to give our
rural customers the best possible
service,’’ Stewart said.
‘‘We need rural delivery to be
in good shape for the future.’’
Lights, sirens . . . panic?

It’s not just Canterbury drivers
who suffer from a case of not
knowing what to do when they see
the flashing lights. Stories
uncovered by Fairfax Communities reporters from the southern
end of the South Island reveal the
same issue plagues the whole
island. In another car-braking
incident from Invercargill, was
recalled as the ‘‘scariest moment’’
by St John Ambulance shift manager Katrina Andrew.

and road cones and driving
through scenes of potentially
serious crashes’’.
McNaught stressed the importance of motorists not driving
through red lights or stop signs,
thinking they were being helpful.
‘‘Emergency service drivers
will see that you’re at a red light
and will manoeuvre around you
or wait until the light turns green.
The last thing anyone wants is a
crash.’’

Pumping ‘liquid gold’ to share
CHARLOTTE CARTER
A forward thinking mother and a
collective of midwives have
opened a breast milk donor bank
in Rangiora.
North Canterbury Milk is the
brainchild of Natalie Gillespie
and midwives Gill Smith and
Jackie Snowden.
The non-profit breast milk
donation scheme collected breast
milk from women who expressed
excess milk after pregnancy and
distributed it to local babies.
‘‘Some women for no apparent
reason just don’t produce enough
milk, while others have medical
conditions; some have had a
breast
reduction
or
have
polycystic ovary syndrome,’’
Smith said.
The Ministry of Health recommends that babies are exclusively
breastfed until aged six months as
it forms a protective layer in a
newborn’s gut, contains essential
enzymes and antibodies and
boosts immunity.
Gillespie called it ‘‘liquid gold’’.
‘‘Formula is OK but it’s not as
good as breast milk, so if they can
access breast milk from another
source, that is going to be a lot
more beneficial for the baby’’,
Smith said.
Potential milk donors would
Natalie Gillespie and son Billy with donations to North Canterbury Milk. SUPPLIED
undergo
extensive
blood
screening and review of their
medical history before being
allowed to donate. The breast
milk was pumped into sterile containers for storage.
Within three days of opening
for donation, they had screened 10
women, had three women donate
and three women collect donated
milk.
The Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU) at Christchurch Hos-
pital had a breast milk donor
bank, however to be eligible for
donated milk a newborn must be
admitted to the unit or meet a
strict criteria.
Gillespie produced excess milk
following her second pregnancy
and midwife Jackie Snowden distributed this to clients at her practice who were experiencing issues
breast feeding.
Gillespie has since donated
short term to around 20 local fam-
ilies.
A local mother to whom
Gillespie donated last year said it
was the most wonderful gift someone could give.
‘‘The need is there, it’s just getting it to the point that it’s quite
normal, quite natural and easy to
ask for,’’ Gillespie said.
It could be extremely frustrating and upsetting for mothers,
Gillespie said, to sit on a pump for
hours and not produce any milk,
especially when they were
already under so much stress
with a newborn.
The milk was being stored in a
freezer at Gillespie’s home which
she noted ‘‘wasn’t ideal’’, while
she had also been lending out her
own breast pumps and equipment
to donors.
The women were seeking sponsorship and equipment donations
but said the key was really getting
the word out.
‘‘We are here, ready and
waiting and if you have milk for
us, we will take it.’’ Gillespie said.
‘‘We’re hoping we can get such
a supply that we can help any
woman who needs it.’’

Christchurch ReadyMix has
applied to renew its resource consent for an existing quarry near
the site of the contentious
proposed Isaac Rd quarry in Eyrewell Forest.
A Waimakariri District Council (WDC) spokesman said this
was the only consent application
they
had
received
from
ReadyMix.
The original consent for the
site at No.1 Browns Rd was
granted three years ago and gave
consent to remove 300,000 square
metres of material.
To date, only half that amount
had been removed with the consent due to expire on March 25.
All restrictions currently
affecting the consent will carry
over, including hours of operation
and vehicle movements.
The hours of operation consented were between 6am-8pm
Monday to Friday and 6am - midday Saturday.
There were up to 200 vehicle
movements per day as well as
processing on site.
The WDC spokesman said they
had not heard of any complaints
or issues regarding the existing
quarry, but acknowledged the
increased public interest surrounding quarrying in the area.
Isaac Community Association
spokesman Bud Caldwell said the
group could not comment on the
renewal, but they did hope that it
was a sign that ReadyMix was
looking at other ventures than the
Isaac Rd quarry.
TOPP TWINS COMING
Kiwi comedy legends Jools and
Lynda Topp are set to play a
show at Hanmer Springs Thermal
Pools and Spa. All proceeds of the
show will go towards the
recovery of the township of
Waiau. The town suffered
extensive damage during the
Hurunui-Kaikoura Earthquakes,
including losing the school
swimming pool and the Waiau
Lodge Hotel. Hanmer band Test
of Time would support the Topp
Twins on stage, along with 30
members of the local choir. The
regular entry fee to Hanmer
Springs Thermal Pools and Spa
covered the cost of the show,
with the pools pledging half its
takings from the day to the
cause.
DINE HURUNUI
The Taste of Hurunui dinner and
auction raised over $20,000 for
repairs on community buildings
damaged in the HurunuiKaikoura Earthquakes last year.
Over 180 people supported the
event held at Christchurch
Casino. Guests were served a
four course dinner with food and
matched wines sourced from the
Hurunui District. Student
Volunteer Army leader Sam
Johnson spoke on the evening,
which was hosted by Mark Inglis.
TOURIST DRIVER AT FAULT
A tourist must pay $1400 in
reparation to the driver he
injured in a head-on crash near
Hanmer Springs. Uwe Thomas
Hohbein, from Germany, will
have to pay the money before he
is allowed to leave New Zealand
later this month. The 57-year-old
veered across the centre line of
SH7 on Saturday. The head-on
crash broke the wrist of the man
who was travelling in the car in
the other direction, and the
injured man and his wife had to
be taken to Christchurch Hospital
by ambulance. Hohbein pleaded
guilty in the Christchurch District
Court on Monday to a charge of
careless driving causing injury.

Bitter sweet resolution for Good St Deli
MATTHEW SALMONS
The Good St Deli will close up on
March 28 to move to a new
location – in Christchurch.
It, along with the Rangiora
Pharmacy, High Street Living and
others, had to leave their site due
to the planned demolition and
rebuild of the building between
High St and New World Rangiora.
The new site will be on Moorhouse Ave, at the intersection of
Deans Ave and Blenheim Rd.
Owner Sophie Wang said they
would keep the name, keep the
food, keep the coffee and proudly
display images and stories of their
Rangiora origins ‘‘so people know
who we are, and why we’re
there’’.
‘‘We love what we do here and
the food we provide, that’s why
we’re keeping the name. It’s really
sad for us as well, but, that’s just
the way it’s got to be for the business.’’
Both Wang and co–owner
Michael Lau lived in Christchurch with young families.
Wang did not know how many of
her employees would move with
them and was discussing with
other Rangiora cafes to find them
work after the deli closed its
doors.
June Powly had been coming
to the Good St Deli everyday for
lunch for 10 years. She was such a
regular customer that if she did
not come two days in a row, staff

‘‘I will miss this
place, it was like a
second home.’’
June Powly
would call her to see if she was
alright.
She said the staff and owners
were always good to her and that
she would be taken into town by
Resene Premium Paints,
Wood Stains, Primers,
Sealers, Wallpaper,
Decorating Accessories
and Cleaning Products
one of the baristas to see the new
location.
‘‘I’ve never had an unpleasant
staff member that whole time. I
will miss this place, it was like a
second home. I came in seven
days a week.’’
Powly said her son would
return home from the United
States on holiday soon and would
help her find a new regular spot.
She was unhappy that The
Good St Deli had been forced to
relocate.
‘‘One thing’s for sure, if when
the place is rebuilt another cafe
goes in here, I’m not interested.
These people have worked very
hard and I think it’s cruel how
[they have] been treated.’’
Wang said she thought the
coming winter would be hard on
the hospitality industry in
Rangiora and that the rapid
increase in establishments in
town had outpaced the potential
market.
‘‘The rates here are slightly
cheaper than Christchurch, but
it’s just a bigger market [in the
city] and we’ve got a good spot
there.’’

Drought-zone rain a ‘shot in the arm’
MICHAEL HAYWARD
A wet start to March has been a
‘‘shot in the arm’’ for North Canterbury farmers but not yet
enough to break three years of
drought.
Environment Canterbury rainfall data shows up to 77.5
millimetres of rain has fallen in
parts of North Canterbury over
the past week, but rainfall was as
low as 36mm in other parts of the
region. The gentle rain soaked in
enough to provide a boost to
pastures and winter crop growth,
but will not refill dry stock dams
and depleted water tables.
Keith Berry has a finishing
farm near Waipara with about
4500 stock units, a mix of dairy,
beef and lambs. He said the recent
wet weather was ‘‘probably the
most rain in one go’’ since January two years ago.
‘‘This rain couldn’t be better
because it’s been sort of gentle
over the last two days,’’ Berry
said. It had come early enough to
do some good for the winter and
autumn sown crops.
‘‘It means the prospect of a
much easier winter, and the prospect that we don’t have to go out
and buy expensive winter feed to
get the stock through.’’
Berry, who has been farming
for 31 years, said the drought had
been hard financially and getting
the rain was a ‘‘huge morale
booster’’.
Cheviot sheep and beef farmer
Ben Ensor said getting the rain
was massive as it was ‘‘looking
pretty bleak before that’’.
‘‘Farmers were under pressure
with the ongoing dry and obviously the earthquakes as well, so
it’s huge just to see a few prolonged days of gentle rain.’’
The Ashley Gorge Track opening was well-attended in spite of the rain. SUPPLIED
It was ‘‘a bloody good start’’ but
after three years of below average
rainfall it would take more than
this to say the drought is over.
‘‘Hopefully we’ll continue to
get a bit of rain and fill the water
table up and get things back to a
bit more normal.’’
Federated Farmers North Canterbury meat and fibre chairman
Dan Hodgen said it was not going
to be an amount of rain but a
period of rain that was going to fix
the drought. The top couple of
inches of soil were now ‘‘pretty
good’’, but below that it was bone
dry.
‘‘It’s a good start, but I wouldn’t
call it a drought breaker by any
stretch.’’
The recent rain was ‘‘a good
shot in the arm’’, he said, which
would help get crops up and running for the winter. It gives us a
chance to be productive again.’’
Keith Berry says the morale boost is probably as important as the grass that will
grow from the rain.

Ashley Gorge track opens
EMMA DANGERFIELD
A new walking track through
native bush has been officially
opened, albeit in slightly soggy
conditions.
The Ashley Gorge Track was
constructed
by
community
volunteers, Oxford Area School
and Aotawhiti Unlimited Discovery School, with the assistance
of the corrections department.
Funding for the works came
from the Waimakariri District
Council, Oxford Eyre Ward Advis-
ory and Oxford Fresh Choice.
The 2km loop track, about an
hour’s walk through regenerating
beech forest, has been established
on Department of Conservation
(DOC) land as a partnership
between DOC and the Ashley
Gorge Reserve Group, which is a
subcommittee of the Waimakariri
District Council.
Jan Shelton, of the Ashley
Gorge Reserve Group, said the
opening was a success in spite of
the weather, with about 80 people
turning out and walking the
track, as well as another four
groups of people walking it later
in the day.
Examples of native flora
include kanuka, lancewood, fuchsia,
matai,
broadleaf
and
whiteywood, and the area is also
home to the endangered native
small snail, Wainui Edwardi.
Future plans will be in two
more stages: the first to extend the
track network and the second to
implement an intensive pest control programme to encourage the
return of native birds to the area.

Gumboots on at Wine & Food Festival
ADELE REDMOND
Miserable weather leant a ‘‘hardy
North Canterbury vibe’’ to the
area’s annual wine and food festival.
North Canterbury Wine and
Food Festival organiser Peg Morgan said over 2500 attended the
festival with event organisers and
stallholders overwhelmed by the
support of the crowds at
Glenmark Domain on Sunday.
Hopes of beating last year’s
3000-person turnout were dashed
by rain and brisk southwesterlies
but locals were undeterred, Morgan said.
‘‘The fashion out here is super
cool. There’s little kids with their
gummies and heaps of young
people as well as some of the
mums and dads coming out,’’ she
said.
‘‘The support was from
attendees was mind-blowing,
everyone got out and stuck in
despite the rain forecasted. There
was an amazing air of optimism to
the event this year, and we’re
already looking forward to what
success 2018 holds for the festival.’’
Out of the 50 vendors, wine
sellers were the natural favourite,
with people ‘‘cracking into it right
on 10.30[am]’’ and festival organisers promising ‘‘extra big’’ pours
to brighten up the gloomy forecast.
Popular vendors also included
Kaikoura Cheese, whose staff
attended despite damage to their
shop after November’s earthquake, and Auckland outfit
Orphans Kitchen, which said it
would donate proceeds from its
Hay bails by the trees were popular.
Ross Hanson and Jenny Underwood came prepared for wet weather.
stall to the Red Cross’ North Canterbury Earthquake Recovery
Fund.
Orphans Kitchen had nearly
sold all its 400 locally-made wild
venison and elderberry pies by
1pm, vendor Tom Hishon said.
‘‘It’s good pie weather at the
moment.’’
Hishon spent his weekend
visiting his sister’s farm in Waipara, his family’s boutique
winery Mountford Estate and
having ‘‘a few vinos’’ with some of
his fellow stallholders.
‘‘It’s been awesome, really
enjoyable, and just cool to see the
whole community coming out.’’
His stand raised over $4,000
alone for the Mayoral Earthquake

Fund in support of the Hurunui
District.
Morgan said attendees enjoyed
being able to meet the makers of
products on offer.
‘‘A lot of festivals can put the
focus on music or entertainment;
we have tried to put the focus on
quality food and wine.’’
She said intermittent rain
Good spirits despite the weather.
simply added a ‘‘hardy North Canterbury vibe’’ to the event.
Trish Coleman from Mumma
T Trading Lounge in Amberley
summed up the spirit of the day
saying, ‘‘We’ve been through a lot,
and still have a lot to get through
but we’re a rural community, and
that means we’re all in it
together’’.

Review
Logan (R16)
Directed by James Mangold
Starring Hugh Jackman, Patrick
Stewart, Dafne Keen, Richard E Grant
137 mins
★★★★
If Wolverine’s last, impressive
solo outing in 2013 was a Samurai
movie, then this fitting farewell is
most assuredly a Western.
It’s no secret that Logan marks
the departure of both old Wolvie
himself, Hugh Jackman, and the
original Professor Charles Xavier,
Sir Patrick Stewart, and they sign
off from almost two decades in the
world of X-Men in some style
here.
Set in a near future where
mutants are essentially extinct,
Logan sees our Adamantiumclawed one working as a
chauffeur for hire, while taking
care of the ailing and increasingly
addled Professor in a remote
location just south of the USMexico border.
However, as both men begin to
feel that death may be their only
release as their remaining powers
begin to turn poisonous, into their
orbit comes a young girl (Dafne
Keen) in need of their help.
She’s been pursued by
authorities, government and
sinister. But while Logan wants
initially wants nothing to do with
Logan is the Wolverine movie fans wanted and deserved.
her, Charles believes she has
more in common with them than
first appears.
A film of extremes, Logan is
both ultra-violent and heartwrenchingly elegiac.
Cleverly incorporating its
comic-book origins into the
narrative and then savagely
dismissing them (‘‘ice-cream for
bedwetters,’’ Logan dismisses the
pen and ink versions of his
adventures as), James Mangold’s
film is the next step in the
Deadpool and Mad Max: Fury
Road inspired-revolution – a
serious superhero film for grown
ups.
It’s Unforgiven, Terminator 2
and Shane all rolled into one –
with a bleached visual look
straight out of the 1970s. Jackman
and Stewart are both superb,
while the eclectic supporting cast
includes Richard E Grant, Eriq La
Salle, Stephen Merchant and
Boyd Holbrook.
More importantly though,
Logan is the Wolverine movie
fans wanted and deserved, with
more than enough special effects
to satisfy. – James Croot

Village in

balance and overall mobility.
The Engage programme provides
a variety of daily activities to keep
residents stimulated and
entertained while socialising.
There’s always plenty going on,
with events and concerts held at
the village, and outings to the
shops in the village van. Extensive
facilities include a library, cafe, pool
table, gym, swimming pool and spa,
and hair salon. Food is another
important factor. Ryman has
introduced the innovative Project
Delicious. This provides more meal
options and a menu offering good
old-fashioned home-cooked meals,
as well as some exotic new
creations, made by the village chef.
* Terms and conditions apply.
❚ For more information, call Rachel
Garrard, Anne Smith or Jenny
Heperi on 310 8644 to arrange a
visit and to view the showhomes
and facilities.
Living the good life
"I lived by myself for a long while,
and was always independent," says
serviced apartment resident Reg
Morris.
"However, my family recognised that
I needed care, and at first I didn’t
agree. Sometimes it takes someone
else to see what you don’t. So
reluctantly I came to the Charles
Upham Retirement Village, and I
have to say that it was the best thing
I have done for a long time.
"I order my meals, and oh, they are
wonderful. Their sweet and sour fish
is an absolute delight!
"I cannot praise the staff enough.
They will do anything for you, and
with a smile. There is so much to do
here. There is always something
interesting, and the social mix is firstrate. "Altogether I can say that this
village is top class."
Apartment resident Reg Morris is delighted with his move to the Charles Upham
Retirement Village.
Enjoy the best of both worlds in a
serviced apartment!
Ground floor apartments are available now. Enjoy the
independence of your own home, as well as a little
extra assistance with housekeeping, meals and more.

Serviced apartment living might
sound like the lifestyle of a highpowered businessperson, but for
residents at Ryman Healthcare’s
Charles Upham Retirement Village
in Rangiora it is the ideal living
option for those who, while still
independent, need a little
assistance.
Charles Upham’s lovely serviced
apartments provide the next step
from living fully independently in
one of the village’s townhouses or
independent apartments. It is part
of the continuum of care residents
receive – there is also a rest home,
hospital and dementia care centre
onsite and rest home care is
available in a serviced apartment if
required.
Village manager Rachel Garrard
says, ‘‘As residents need change we
can adjust their care as required. It
also means if their partners need
change before they themselves do,
they don’t have to move from the
village. We can look after everyone
at every level’’.
The final stage of serviced
apartments is set to be complete in
April 2017. Modern apartments with
kitchenettes and ensuites are a
great option for those who might
need assistance. Residents keep
their independence but have the
benefit of a care package suited to
their needs – specific meals, or all
three provided with morning and
afternoon tea, fresh towels
delivered daily, and housekeeping
services.
These services are included in
the weekly fee, which Ryman
guarantees will stay fixed for as
long as residents are in their
apartment*. Respite care is also
available in a serviced apartment or
the care centre. Families can be
content that aging relatives are
secure and are well-looked after in
a nourishing, attentive
environment. Often people end up
staying at the village as they enjoy
it so much.
The Ryman Triple A (Ageless,
Active and Aware) exercise
programme is provided free to all
residents who want to join in. The
most significant improvement that
residents have reported from the
increased exercise was greater

Conversations
A happy ending
MICHELLE VERNAL- OXFORDBASED AUTHOR
I’ve always written, but it wasn’t
until our first son was born that I
decided to do a creative writing
course at Canterbury University.
Oh, the guilt of dropping my
baby off at pre-school so I could
attend the two-hour class.
Oh, the joy of being able to
contribute something to
conversations other than which
nappies were on special that
week!
The first article I wrote
following this course was
published, and I went on to
contribute regular light-hearted
pieces on being a Mum to a
parenting magazine.
Then one day, pushing what
had since become a double buggy
with our younger son now on the
scene, a twirling beautician’s sign
planted the seed of an idea.
I’d write a book! I mouthed off
to friends and family that this was
my plan – self-inflicted pressure
and it wasn’t an easy task.
I calculated how many words
were in an average women’s
novel. It’s around 100,000, a
daunting prospect when you’ve
typed a sentence, only 989,000
words to go!
I’d love to be one of those
writers who pens the first few
lines for each chapter of their
book before going back and filling
in the blanks. It doesn’t work like
that for me, though; it’s a much
more organic process with the
characters going off on tangents
but eventually getting their happy
ending.
My husband’s very supportive,
and so I finished a draft of that
first novel and posted the
manuscript off.
Three months later,
everything in the world of
publishing seems to take three
months; I had a positive letter
from Penguin NZ. I was buzzing,
but fate intervened, and Vicki
Marsdon, the publisher who was
interested in my book left for
another company. Her new house
wasn’t keen to take on another
author in my genre, but we kept
in touch.
I independently published
which was never my dream, but it
kept me writing.
Fate intervened once more
three books later when Vicki
contacted me to say she was now a
literary agent and was keen to
sign up my new novel, The
Hurunui-Waiau Water Zone Committee
Is water quality in the
Hurunui River getting
better or worse?
Come along to a community meeting to find out
what monitoring shows about the state of the river
and its tributaries.
The Hurunui Waiau Water Zone Committee is hosting
the community meeting on Monday 20 March, 7.30pm,
at Waikari Hall (99 Princes St)
Traveller’s Daughter.
She did, and within the year I
had a two-book deal with Harper
Collins UK.
Cut to the present – my mum
was in Paper Tree, Rangiora
when Dad had to put a restraining
hand on her.
He’d seen her take a deep
breath and was fearful she was
about to re-enact Julie Andrews
scene in the Sound of Music.
You know, flinging her arms
wide before announcing, not that
the hills were alive but that her
daughter wrote those three books
‘right there’ on the shelf.
She didn’t, but she did cry.
This March 24 The Traveller’s
Daughter is being released in
e-book format and will be
available in paperback through

Crystals & classics
will steal the show
The Stendig Calendar, with its dramatic size and bold graphics, is
as popular today as when it first came out in the 1960s.
Interior designer and retailer Alex
Fulton makes a few predictions and
suggestions.
I
Stoned Crystals was launched 2015 with a collection of five
geometric shaped crystals. Alex Fulton picks these as a hot trend.
f you are looking for inspiration
to lose weight, meditate daily or
become a better version of ‘‘you’’
I’m afraid this is not the place.
There’s plenty of that at every click of
Facebook or Instagram, so instead I
thought I’d forget self-help and focus
on what interior design styles we can
expect from the myriad new products
in the marketplace.
As a shopkeeper, I’m also part
crystal ball reader as we have to
predict products that will be ‘‘hot’’
and avoid those that are not. It’s
usually months out from the season
you are actually buying for and
you’ve got to call on a mixture of gutinstinct, Nostradamus and insight.
Don’t get me wrong – I have got it
wrong, but I mostly do get it right,
which leads to internal ‘‘thank
goodness’’ moments and my staff
having to eat their ‘‘this will never sell
you crazy design lady’’ words.
So let me show you what I think
will be big this year:
Interior designer Alex Fulton. SOPHIE JENSEN
Crystals
Dust off your dream-catchers, people!
Crystals are back and are making a
huge impact across the interior
product realm.
In fact, I have my Himalayan Salt
Lamp on and my incense sticks
a-burnin’. True story. There are a
plethora of products that are drawing
on the power and form of crystals.
Unfortunately, they are often boxed as
‘‘hippie’’ and misunderstood or
undervalued by the mainstream, but
Melbourne-based company Stoned
Crystals have put an end to that, and
are producing a range of high quality
and beautifully packaged crystals
sourced from Brazil.

The practical and
very neat Provendi
revolving soap
fixtures have
adorned public
school washrooms
throughout France
for years. Now
they’re turning up
in the most chic
places.
The Greco vase’s design by Octaevo is
meant to evoke a voyage around the Med.
The Bazaar paper vase, also by Octaevo,
was sourced from Maison & Objet.
Paris tradeshow for all things related
to lifestyle, decoration and design.
I found about a thousand products
that I would love to import, but
knowing about freight costs, I had to
get a wee bit creative with what I
could source. Two products that tick
the easy-to-ship box were the
cardboard lights and pendants from
Andbros (Finland) and the re-usable
paper vases from Octaveo (Spain). I
had never seen these products before
and immediately recognised the value
in their uniqueness and their price
point. Fair to say they are selling like
paper hot-cakes.
Classics
As well as finding new and exciting
products, I also like to have a classic
or two presiding on our shelves.
What makes a classic? It’s an object
that has aesthetic value and serves as
a standard of its kind, remaining upto-date regardless of its year of design.
We have two such examples. The
Stendig Calendar, and its smaller
cousin, the Max 365. First designed in
1966 by Massimo Vignelli, it’s now a
classic with its dramatic size and bold
graphics and can be used just as
effectively as when it was first
designed in the 60s. Another
European classic I have rediscovered
is Provendi wall-mounted soap.
Founded in the 1950s, this soap has
become famous because of its very
simple concept: a solid soap that is
always dry and close at hand. Even
the smell and colour takes you back to
your childhood!
The Cardboard
pendant light by
Andbros is an
uncomplicated
design made to
complement any
space in your home
– simple yet
sophisticated.
Designed and made
in Finland.

THE INSIDE STORY
31 Melford Close
Rangiora
Quietly set back from the road in one of Rangiora’s
most tightly-held streets, the allure of location is
only accentuated by zoning for reputable and
performance focused Ashgrove Primary and
Rangiora High.
Do the maths – you simply could not build a home
of this size in this location for anything close to what
you’ll pay for this and better still, highly motivated
vendors have given us explicit instructions to sell with
alacrity .
The expansive 307sqm* loor plan delivers ive
genuine double bedrooms of which the family
bedrooms enjoy convenient access to a wellappointed and practical family bathroom. The master
features ensuite privacy with the luxury of a large bath
and access to a patio while three toilets add an extra
element of convenience for the entire family.
“The best
journey
always
takes us
home.”
Choices of two living rooms offer venues for informal/
formal entertaining or simply allows adults and kids
to entertain separately. A modern and well-optioned
kitchen is a pleasure to work in with quality appliances and generous cabinetry and bench tops. Pellet ire, heatpump, twin HRV
systems and double-glazing work together to keep the home evenly and healthily acclimated all year round. A lined, plumbed and
powered studio with independent entrance (currently used as a nail salon) offers scope to work from home while a full sized and fully
fenced 967sqm* section features easy drive on access with off-street-parking complementing internal access double garaging.
Combining space and grace with a coveted location, this exceptional home demands priority on the viewing schedule.

GARDENING
Timeline for the best kumaras
soups and stews.
BARBARA SMITH
RESCUE BURNT BEGONIAS
WHEN ARE
KUMARA
READY?
It can be hard
to tell when to
dig for
kumara as the
tops don’t die
down when
the tubers are
ripe. As a
rule, kumara
take five
months from planting to harvest,
but last spring and early summer
were so cold that tubers may not
have reached maturity yet.
Before committing yourself to
digging up the whole bed, do some
careful bandicooting in a couple
of places to see what’s happening
underground. Size isn’t the only
thing to look for. Only mature
kumara will store well, so check
the skin is firm and cut one into a
couple of pieces. The cut sides will
dry quickly if the kumara is ready
to store. They’ll last for five
months or so in a cool, dark place.
If you’ve got a lot of tiddlers,
peel or scrub them well and cut
into pieces roughly the same size.
Blanch in boiling water for two
minutes, then free-flow freeze.
They’ll come in handy for winter
Tuberous begonias have a lot of
flower power, blooming on and on
throughout summer and bringing
colour to shady corners.
They prefer a well-drained spot
out of the wind that’s shaded
during the hottest part of the day.
Now that the sun is lower in the
sky, check that your plants that
were in shade all summer aren’t
being burnt. The leaves (pictured)
were covered with droplets of
water which magnified the sun’s
rays with dire results.
When the flowers have
finished, leave the foliage in place
and keep watering as needed.
Food made by photosynthesis in
the leaves now will build up the
tuber for next season.
Over the next month or so, the
stems and leaves will start to die
back and can be removed. Stop
watering potted begonias about
mid-April. Store pots on their
sides or where they won’t get
waterlogged.
If you need the pots for
something else, or you live in a
frosty spot, take the tubers out of
the pots, leave them to dry for a
couple of days, then store. Wrap
them in newspaper to stop them
touching and put in a paper bag,
or put them in a cardboard box
with dry potting mix or
sphagnum moss to stop them
rolling around. Store in a cool
place. Begonias grown in the
ground can be left in warm areas.
Otherwise lift the tubers before
the first frost and store as above.
In late August put the tubers
(concave side up) in a bright spot
out of direct sunlight to sprout.
Barely cover the sprouted tubers
with fresh potting mix and begin
the cycle all over again.
TRAP FRUIT FLIES
If, like me, you’ve got bowls of
ripening fruit and tomatoes on the
kitchen bench, you’ve probably
got a cloud of fruit flies as well.
Drosophila melanogaster are
common in gardens, worm farms,
rubbish bins and drains – any
damp place where rotting plant
material or fermenting liquid has
gathered.
Drosophila have been used for
genetic research for more than 50
years because they breed rapidly.
Not only do they share 75 per cent
of the genes that cause disease in
humans but their large
chromosomes have barcode-like
stripes so changes to the genetic
code can be easiy identified under
a microscope.
In the garden they can be used
as an indicator for potential
problems. Drosophila have a keen
sense of smell for the rotting fruit
where they breed and the fungi
that the larvae feed on. If you see
them swarming around your
tomatoes or fruit trees, take a
closer look. Chances are there’ll
be bird-pecked or over-ripe fruit, a
fungal disease or a drain blocked
with rotting leaves.
Don’t worry about fruit flies in
the compost bin or the worm
farm. They are just getting on
with their recycling job. (Avoid a
faceful of tiny flies when you lift
the lid by burying fresh scraps
under older material.)
In the kitchen, keep things
under control by cleaning up the
fruit bowl and vege bin. Also
watch for spills around your
bokashi bin or compost bucket,
unrinsed bottles in the recycling
bin and pet food bowls.
Make a trap for blowflies but
bait it with fruit juice, wine or a
piece of fruit or a spoonful of jam
in a little water. Add a drop of
detergent to lower the surface
tension. The flies are lured in but
can’t get out and eventually
drown.
KEEP PLANTING
The soil is still warm, even
though the days are getting
shorter, so keep planting.
This column is adapted from the
weekly e-zine, get growing, from
New Zealand Gardener magazine.
For gardening advice delivered to
your inbox every Friday, sign up for
Get Growing at: getgrowing.co.nz
Beetroot, carrots, coriander,
leeks, spring onions, lettuce,
radishes, spinach and silverbeet
can be grown from seed but
transplant broccoli, cabbages and
cauli seedlings. It’s worth making
an extra effort when planting
seedlings into dry soil. Stand the
punnet in a weak solution of
fertiliser or worm wee until no air
bubbles appear. Fill the planting
hole with water and allow to
drain. Firm the soil around the
roots of the seedlings and water
again. Mulch well. Water deeply
so that the roots grow downwards
from the start, safe from hot
weather and drying winds.

Ulysses the
money legend
GOLDEN RULES
❚ Love your future self
❚ Develop your wealth plan
❚ Try a Ulysses contract
ROB
STOCK
MONEY MATTERS
[email protected]
Let me tell you a story about an
ancient Greek hero who can help
you get richer.
It’s Ulysses, a kind of Greek
Maui, though without Maui’s
ambition, and with a much worse
sense of direction.
Ulysses was one of the Greeks
who destroyed the ancient city of
Troy, and then got hopelessly lost
sailing home.
On his journey, Ulysses had
many adventures, one of which
inspired a set of Yale behavioural
economists to set up a website to
help people achieve their dreams,
including their money dreams.
It’s called StickK.com, and it
allows people to set up what are
known as Ulysses contracts.
These are contracts between
your present self, and your future
self, where present you pledges to
do something good for future you.
They are named after Ulysses
in honour of his cunning plan to
hear the Sirens sing.
Sirens were evil mermaids,
and once a man heard the Sirens’
beautiful song, he would dash
himself into the sea, and drown.
But Ulysses really, really
wanted to hear them, and not die.
So he ordered his crew to tie
him to the mast, and not to release
him, under any circumstances.
They then put wax in their
ears, and rowed up to the Sirens.
In binding himself to the mast,
Ulysses’ present self was doing
something great for his future
self.
Unlike Ulysses, people are
often pretty bad at doing the
things that are good for their
future selves.
It’s why so many of us eat so
badly, don’t exercise, and save a
pittance.
But the Yale economists know
people are more likely to do the
good things, if they bind
themselves with a Ulysses
contract, especially if they have a
‘‘referee’’ watching their
progress, before whom they will
be shamed, if they fail.
Through StickK, people can
even set financial penalties to
incentive themselves not to fail,
by pledging to give money to
someone, or thing they hate if
Painter Herbert James Draper showed Ulysses tied to his mast, beset by Sirens.
‘‘People are bad at
doing the things
that are good for
their future selves.’’
they fail.
A cat lover might give money
to Gareth Morgan for instance. A
commuter might give money to
Wilson Parking.
I learnt about Ulysses
contracts from TV pyschologist
Nigel Latta’s Mind Over Money
show, but then I realised how
many of us use two Ulysses-type
contracts to get ahead and don’t
even realise.
The first is KiwiSaver.
Instead of spending all your
money on yummy and shiny
things, present you sticks some
into KiwiSaver for the benefit of
future you.
The penalty for not doing so is
losing the employer/government
contributions, which are the
closest thing to free money
anyone gets.
The other Ulysses contract is
the mortgage. Present you takes
on debt to enrich future you.
The penalty for non-payment is
SUPPLIED
a mortgagee sale.
But an increasing number of
people don’t just make the
minimum repayments the banks
ask for.
They set their mortgage
payments higher in a superUlysses contract which will leave
their future selves far richer.
BNZ says in the past year
alone, customers opting for
higher voluntary repayments
wiped 20,000 years of their
combined mortgages.
That’s something their future
selves will one day thank them
for.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Be prepared in case disaster strikes
T
he November earthquake in
the Kaikoura area was a
timely reminder of our
vulnerability in times of
disaster. But we are slowly getting
better at assuring our resilience,
and this is where we can turn to
experts in the field who can point
us in the right direction.
Based in Pegasus just north of
Christchurch, is Emergency
Management Consultancy Ltd. The
brainchild of Dave Houlihan, the
company provides experienced
consultants who will provide
customised Comprehensive
Emergency Management and
Business Development programs.
These provide a complete approach
for dealing with disruptions in both
the public and the private sector.
There are many services
available, but chief amongst them
is, as the title of the company
suggests, emergency management
planning. While many of us think of
the effects of the earthquakes
upon Christchurch, the November
shakes demonstrate impact on
rural communities.
Planning for unexpected events
involves identifying risks to people,
property and animals, and taking
steps to eliminate or reduce these
hazards. Operational systems and
capabilities need to be developed,
with access to emergency services.
Procedures must also be
established, so that however
remote the property, there are
clear steps to be taken. Certainly
rural dwellers need to be selfreliant, which is important when
emergency services are at a
distance.
It is reassuring to know that we
have access to experts in the field.
Dave Houlihan has an extensive
background with the New Zealand
Fire Service and looking after
security matters at the Canterbury
District Health Board. While always
with a practical outlook he
nevertheless kept up with theory
by completing a post graduate
degree in emergency management
at AUT.
In 2013 he started up Emergency
Management Consultancy Ltd. ‘‘The
whole area of emergency
management is still a young field,’’
he says. ‘‘The important thing now
is for people to understand what
our role is. Getting your

organisation ready to cope with a
disaster, crisis or business
interruption is partly about doing
some planning and partly about
ensuring you develop practices to
become more resilient.’’
Dave also has an interest in the
science of psychology and
behavioural science principles and
has completed postgraduate
papers. What is often under-
estimated is the psychological
effect of such events. For this
reason he is developing access to
psychologists as a part of his
operation, and his son Dominic is
working in this field as part of his
studies at Otago University.
Together in 2015 they started
another consultancy business,
Legendary Psychology Ltd.
Legendary Psychology Ltd
specialises in the application of
well-supported psychological
principles and empirical research in
helping companies and
organisations to achieve optimum
potential.
Currently Legendary Psychology
Ltd is offering a free analysis of
workplace health and safety status
as a support for the Health and
Safety at Work Act (2015).
Application of psychological
principles helps employers ensure
that all practical steps are taken to
protect their staff. In addition to
setting up a practical plan tailored
to the need of clients, they have set
up regular review and feedback
processes involving all levels of an
organisation to gain a periodical
assessment of the plan.
The company takes both
quantitative and qualitative
assessment of projects, to clearly
demonstrate the benefits gained
from the application of the
psychological principle in
businesses.

Go green and celebrate shared history
Ireland and New Zealand share many
historical, cultural and economic values,
writes Cathy O’Sullivan.
I
t’s the day the world goes
green, and on St Patrick’s
Day New Zealand has its own
reasons to sham-rock n’roll
on Ireland’s national day.
Ireland and New Zealand, two
small island nations at the
opposite ends of the Earth, share
much history.
The waves of immigrants who
left Ireland’s shores in the mid
and late 19th century have made a
lasting impact on Aotearoa, both
culturally and economically.
Our national anthem God
Defend New Zealand was written
by Monaghan-born Thomas
Bracken. The Treaty of Waitangi
was signed on behalf of the Crown
by Waterford-born William
Hobson, and the captain of the
Original All Blacks, Dave
Gallaher, came from County
Donegal.
And for 12 years, New Zealand
was split into three provinces

called New Ulster (North Island),
New Munster (South Island) and
New Leinster (Stewart Island).
Around one in every six New
Zealanders claims Irish descent
and this country continues to be a
favoured destination for Irish
immigrants in the 21st century.
Today, New Zealand and
Ireland have close co-operation on
trade, foreign policy issues such
as climate change, disarmament
and human rights and each
country looks to each other on

ways to preserve their native
languages.
And so as St Patrick’s Day is
celebrated throughout the world,
in New Zealand, the day is
marked by communities from the
top of the North Island to the
bottom of the South.
Events to mark Ireland’s day
include the biggest St Patrick’s
parade in the Southern
Hemisphere in Auckland’s
Ponsonby as well as a fundraising
ball in aid of Mercy Hospice and
the New Zealand Gaelic Games
championship finals.
In Auckland, Wellington and
Christchurch, the cities’ Irish
Societies open their doors on St
Patrick’s Day with family friendly
celebrations planned during the
day and into the evening.
Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower
will also turn green, as part of a
‘Global Greening’ of world
landmarks such as the ancient
Colosseum in Rome, the London
Eye in Britain and Niagara Falls
in Canada.
Also going green in New
Zealand this year are Auckland
War Memorial Museum, Eden
Park and the Michael Fowler
Centre in Wellington.
And in local pubs and
communities around New
Zealand, the Irish and those ‘Irish
for a day’ will be wetting the
shamrock and enjoying Irish
music and dance.
So, on this St Patrick’s Day be
proud of New Zealand’s Irish
legacy, and know that while black
is New Zealand’s colour, if you
scratch the surface you’ll find it’s
a little bit green.

With thanks to ECAN & the Rangiora
Racecourse Management Committee
Despite the challenging conditions 83 teams and over 300
riders took on the mud to compete at the third annual
Rakahuri Rage teams relay mountain bike race held on
Sunday 12th March 2017.
Steady rain didn’t dampen the spirits of the riders, with most
taking it as an additional challenge - and some even revelling
in it! Unfortunately the combination of rain and bikes took it’s
toll on the track conditions so organisers were forced to divert
part of the course onto shingle roads and reduce the event
from six hours to four.
Open Men’s team “Taggarts Demo 1” (Mike Smart, Marc
Prutton & Reon Nolan) backed up their win last year by
completing 14 laps, just ahead of team “Steady the Ships”.
Team “Go Girls” (Kate Woods, Seonaigh Conchie & Ali Mander)
again took out the Open Women’s category.
Organised by the North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust,
the Rakahuri Rage was introduced in 2015 to encourage
people to try mountain biking and explore the local North
Canterbury cycling tracks, and it has quickly become a fixture
on the North Canterbury sporting calendar.
The event is also a major fund-raiser for the MainPower
Waiswim Primary Schools Swimming Programme that
provides children across North Canterbury with high quality
swimming lessons at low cost through their schools.

Amberley
Pavilion now has
a protective net
to allow for
indoor sporting
activity. SUPPLIED
One hoop short at ‘Tin Shed Stadium’
JONATHAN LEASK
The Amberley Pavilion is set to
return to being Tin Shed Stadium.
The Hurunui District Council’s
Amberley Ward Committee has
supported the purchase of a protective net so that the pavilion,
known as the ‘‘Tin Shed’’, can be
utilised for basketball and other
court sports. Amberley’s Erin
Smith, with the support of several
Hurunui schools, approached the
council to request permission to
install a sliding net to protect the
stage and use the space for indoor
sports again. Smith obtained a
grant from the Amberley Lions
for the full cost of the net, with no
cost to the Council for the project,
who will benefit from the hire of
the hall for sporting activities.
The plan was to be up and running in time for the start of the
Friday night school basketball
competition but they came up ‘‘a
little short’’.
‘‘The net was too short so it has
been sent back to get extended
and we only have the one hoop up
at the moment.’’
The pavilion used to have a
hoop at each end until the stage
was put in, and putting up a hoop
is easier said than done. Smith
said reinstating the second hoop
will require ‘‘some form of mechanism’’ which she hoped would be
sorted before the term four com-
petition. An additional court in
the region is welcome news to
North Canterbury Basketball who
are ‘‘desperately short on court
space’’, North Canterbury Basketball operations manager Caroline
Whittaker said. Adding the venue
will drastically cut down the
travel factor for the Hurunuibased teasm in the Friday night
competition. There are 102 teams
in the term one competition,
which swells to around 118 in
term four. Whittaker believed
additional venue would entice
even more entries from Hurunui
schools, and possibly teams from
Kaikoura, if it can get the official
sign off in time.
With or without the second
hoop, Smith said the net has
benefits for more than just basketball. ‘‘Even the likes of the little
guys playing rugby have that
option to go inside on a wet or
cold day now.’’

Educating kids
about nutrition
Q: I was a very overweight
child and I am determined to
educate my kids about good
nutrition (from a young age!)
What are your top tips to get
help get my children interested
in food and good nutrition?
Thanks, Ali
A: Good on you for wanting to
start this process early, as the
foundations you set up in
childhood can have a huge impact
on how your children perceive
good health and nutrition.
Here are a few ideas to help
keep your kids interested in
viewing food as nourishment.
EAT TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
AT THE DINNER TABLE
Eating at the dinner table, rather
than in front of the TV plays a
vital role in setting up good
habits. Instead of mindlessly
eating, sitting together at the table
facilitates more awareness of
what you are putting into your
mouth, whilst reinforcing that

table, rather than in
front of the TV
plays a vital role in
setting up good
habits.

eating is something you do to
nourish yourself, not a side
activity to TV watching.
Using positive reinforcement
for helping with the cooking or for
eating veges also instils good
habits that will encourage lifelong
good nutrition.
LET THEM CHOOSE A RECIPE
THEY WANT TO MAKE
Everyone likes having the chance
to take charge in the kitchen. The
responsibility and creativity that
comes with choosing a recipe
helps children feel like they are
making something of their own.
Choosing their own recipe
helps create independence that
will carry on into their adult life,
leading to better food choices and
a love for cooking good, nutritious
meals.
ENCOURAGE KIDS TO HELP
PREPARE AND TASTE FOOD
Giving your child a chance to
demonstrate how responsible
they are helps with selfconfidence and trust. Chopping
veges, peeling vegetables or
stirring the pot are all ways to let
kids help in the kitchen.
Tasting each ingredient also
sets the foundation for a wide
palate and experimentation with
food. Being able to say ‘‘I helped
make that’’ when the meal is on
the table is invaluable for creating
pride in their cooking skills.
MAKE VEGETABLES AND
SALADS A NORMAL PART OF
EVERY MEAL TIME
Veges and salads don’t have to be
boring. Try new recipes with
veges or dressings to make them
taste good. By making veges the
norm in your household, you will
see that kids will carry this
through later in life as a result of
the family’s good habits now.
TAKE A COOKING CLASS
TOGETHER
There’s nothing more exciting
than learning how to make a new
meal with your loved ones under
the guidance of a good cook. The
sense of satisfaction and pride
when you create something new
is a joy. Better still opt for a
cuisine you’re not very familiar
with to enhance the learning and
the fun.

A lot of social media posts
will use a shortened link to

hovering over the link doesn’t

For shortened links, you can
use the ‘‘preview’’ function. If
you enter the shortened bit.ly

The internet is full of
hyperlinks – or in short – links.
Usually these links take you to
where you want to go, but
sometimes not! Spoofed links
can be dangerous in regard to
data security and identity
theft.
The following steps are
useful when checking link
safety:
❚ 1. Take a close look at the
domain name in the link.
Altered spelling of a domain
name is an almost certain sign
of a scamming attempt. For
example, phishers may
substitute a number for a
letter (eg 0 instead of o).
❚ 2. Get into the habit of first
hovering over the link with
your mouse cursor before
clicking on it. This will show
you the actual address the link
represents.
❚ 3. Another good way to
check link safety is to make
sure a site which requires you
to enter financial details uses
https and not http. Secure
sites such as banks or
e-commerce sites will always
use the more secure form of
http known as https. This
ensures that your data is sent
encrypted across the Internet
to the website.
https:// will be displayed in
the address bar of the
browser with a security
padlock icon next to the
address. If you double-click on
the padlock icon, the security

Big numbers at Superbounce Champs
JONATHAN LEASK
Gymnasts from the length of the
country came to Rangiora for the
fifth annual Superbounce Championship Tournament at the
weekend.
More than 120 athletes from
clubs stretching from Auckland to
Invercargill competed over three
days in four different disciplines,
individual
trampoline,
synchronised trampoline, double
mini trampoline and tumbling at
the event hosted by Rangiora’s Ice
Trampoline and Tumbling Sports.
‘‘What was really pleasing to
see was the increase in numbers
from the other South Island clubs,
with Invercargill, Dunedin,
Wanaka and Oamaru all having
strong teams,’’ Ice coach Nigel
Humphreys said.
This year, GymsportNZ made
the event a World Open Championship qualifying event adding
an extra drawcard to the weekend.
Humphreys said the athletes
really turned on some stellar
performances with the potential
of attending the World Championships in Bulgaria in November.
Leading the way was ICE
Trampoline’s Kieran Growcott,
who is only back in the sport for
two months after a three-year
absence, reaching the World
qualifying score for men’s double
mini tramp (DMT). Growcott’s
score of 72.2 is a New Zealand
record for two passes.
Also keeping up her strong
progress was Bronwyn Dibb,
standing up two new DMT passes
for the first time in competition,
including a triple back somersault.
On the line were positions in
the New Zealand team for the
Australian Nationals in May,
with ICE Trampoline having 14
athletes working towards that
goal. The Team is due to be named
after next week’s last qualifying
opportunity in Auckland.
ICE has also been lucky
enough to welcome a new senior
coach to our club this year.
John Howe’s experience as a
former national champion and
New Zealand representative continued into a successful coaching
career with CSG in Christchurch
until he made the move to ICE
late last year.
In the last six months, ICE has
seen huge growth in its membership which Humprey’s said was
helped by the success of Dylan
Schmidt at last year’s Olympic
games.
‘‘Having a New Zealand Trampoline representative in Rio has
given the sport unprecedented
profile and publicity,’’ he said.
Ice Trampoline Club’s Bronwyn Dibb and Brittany Wang, pictured at the World Trampoline Championships in Denmark,
produced strong performances at the 2017 Superbounce.

JONATHAN LEASK
Rangiora High School Girls Futsal team defended their Canterbury Regional title.
SUPPLIED
Rangiora HS girls bound for Futsal Nationals
JONATHAN LEASK
The Rangiora High School girl’s
Futsal team have defended their
Canterbury Regional title at the
CPIT Gym in Christchurch.
The team claimed an emphatic
clean sweep in pool play and
advanced straight into the final,
with wins over Cashmere High
School 7-0, Papanui High School
9-2, Marion College 12-1 and St
Andrews College 8-2.
They came up against St
Andrews again in the final on
Sunday, with the underdogs making the better start to lead 2-0.
However, RHS captain, Tahlia
Herman-Watt, led from the front
scoring twice to level the scores at
half time.
The second strike 30-seconds
before the break sparked the RHS
side back into rhythm. A double
strike from Abbey Neilson and
goal from Maddison Silcock
sealed a 5-2 win.
The win books the team’s place
in the New Zealand Secondary
Schools National Tournament in
Wellington on March 27-28 where
they will attempt to improve on
last year’s third place finish.
❚ Meanwhile, Parklands United
came out on top in the senior
men’s pre-season tournament
hosted by Waimak United at
Kendal park. Parklands beat
Cashmere Technical 4-2 in the
rain on Saturday. The Waimak
senior men finished third with a
3-0 win over Christchurch United
after goals from Matt Le Gros,
Ben Shore and Chris Chick.
Rain washed out play on the opening day of the Canterbury
Country Premier Two-Day cricket
final. Sefton and Weedons will be
forced to find a result on day two,
which will be extended to 110
overs, at MainPower Oval.
If neither side can claim first
innings honours, and the match
reaches stumps as a draw, it will
come down to bonus points
accrued during the final. With
each run earning 0.01 points and
0.2 points per wicket taken, it will
encourage positive cricket from
both teams on the final day of the
premier season.
The two-day plate final
between Southbrook and OxfordRangiora was also washed out.
In the Country senior grade,
Ohoka confirmed their place in
the final after a rain affected
round. Ohoka bowled Kaiapoi out
for 101 in 28.3 overs, with Keith
Walker 6/30, but the sides never
returned from lunch as the rain
set in.
Top-of-the-table Ohoka still
secured the three points that
ensure they will appear in the
final. The crucial match to determine who they will meet between
Diamond Harbour-Kaituna and
Cheviot was abandoned. Cheviot
need to see off Scargill to make the
final and should they fail, Diamond Harbour-Kaituna can overtake them if they beat Ohoka.
The winner of the final on
March 25 will have the option of

Rakahuri still rages in the rain
JONATHAN LEASK
It was wet and cold, yet the hardy
riders still turned up for the
Rakahuri Rage mountain bike
race on Sunday.
The rain scared away 32 teams,
but more than 300 riders weren’t
afraid of a little bit of mud on
their mountain bike.
Having knocked back the
numbers, the continued rainfall
then had its effect on the course
and the time.
The six-hour team’s race was
cut to four due to the conditions
and then mid-race the hilly eastern section of the course became a
safety concern.
‘‘It was digging up quite a bit
and getting rather slippery. The
riders couldn’t get enough speed
up on the approaches and then
there wasn’t enough traction to
get up which was causing a bit of
a log jam,’’ North Canterbury
Sport and Recreation Trust’s
Tony Kean said.
Organisers created a detour
around the hill section via a
shingle road, slightly shortening
the course.
The top team, Taggart Demo,
clocked an impressive 14 laps during the race averaging a lap every
17:06 minutes. In the open
women’s section, Go Girls had 11
laps to take the win while in the
mixed grade, Cycleways managed
to clock their 12 laps two minutes
faster than runners-up, Warm Up.
Mountainbikers wind their way through muddy tracks in the four-hour team event on Sunday.
The Swannanoa Bulls team
won the primary school’s
category in a close battle with
team Clicks from Fernside, while
Loburn School entered an
impressive five teams of Year 8
students as part of their William
Pike Challenge Award.
The cold and wet conditions
this year were a polar opposite to
last year’s 32-degree scorcher,
with Kean hoping they can hit
somewhere in the middle next
year.
COOPER DEFENDS TITLE
On the international mountain
biking scene, Woodend’s Anton
Cooper claimed the elite crosscountry title at the 2017 Oceania
Continental MTB Championships
in Toowoomba.
Cooper, the defending champion, took the lead on the opening
DAVID WALKER/FAIRFAX NZ
lap before a combination of a
crash and mechanical problems
saw his hopes of back to back
titles fade, slipping to fourth at the
halfway point of the five lap race.
Undeterred by the bad luck, a
late surge by the former under 23
world champion saw Cooper
power by his rivals taking the
title in 1 hour 25 minutes, 33
seconds clear of Australia’s
Cameron Ivory.

CAUGHEY EXTENDS LEAD
Defending Superboat champion
Peter Caughey finished second
overall at round four of the New
Zealand Jetspint Championships
in Hastings on Sunday. Caughey
said the weather again played a
part, and although he would have
rather have won the round he
was happy to extend his lead in a
series and head home with a
healthy boat and motor three
weeks out from round five in
Wanganui.With two rounds
remaining Caughey (109.5 points)
is three points clear of Blake
Briant (106.5).

Your Power Supply
and Trees
Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations
Trees too close to power lines are a hazard and a major cause of
power failures during bad weather. They can break power lines and
network equipment, resulting in risk of serious injury or death as
well as causing widespread power interruptions. This inconveniences
farms and households, affects business productivity and causes
damage to customers' electronic equipment and appliances.
The Zones
The regulations specify different zones for trees
growing close to power lines and other electricity
network equipment: the Notice Zone and the Growth
Limit Zone.
Tree “A”
In Notice Zone
Needs trimming
Tree Owners' Responsibilities
Tree owners are responsible for their trees; the results
of tree damage to power lines can be a significant cost
to a tree owner. Please check your trees, hedges or
shelter belts regularly. If you are not sure what to look
for, please call us so we can help. Remember, trees
need to be kept a safe distance away from power lines
and other electricity network equipment because:
• Children that climb trees close to power lines are at
risk of serious injury or death.
• In severe weather conditions, vegetation can become
electrically ‘live’ and may electrocute anyone coming
into contact with it.
• In bad weather, trees can topple or branches break
away causing damage to power lines resulting
in a power outage. In snow or icy conditions, the
additional weight on the tree can cause a similar
scenario.
• Trees close to lines may cause electrical sparking
resulting in fire.
• Tree roots can grow around underground electricity
cables, rupturing the insulation and causing power
supply failure.
What do the Electricity (Hazards
from Trees) Regulations Mean toYou?
These regulations are to provide a safe electricity supply
to you and to protect the security of your electricity
supply.They place responsibilities on trees owners (you)
and the electricity network operator (MainPower).

Tree“B”
In Growth Limit Zone
Must be trimmed
If your tree is growing within the Notice Zone
(Tree A) you will receive a legal notice from us saying
that it must be trimmed soon because it is growing
too close to power lines and equipment. If your tree
continues to grow into the Growth Limit Zone (Tree B)
you will receive a legal notice from us requiring the
tree to be trimmed (by an approved contractor) within
a specified time frame. This is because the tree is now
too close to power lines and equipment, and could
cause a power outage and/or harm the public. As you
might expect, the notice zones vary depending on the
voltage of the power lines:
Notice
Zone
Growth
Limit Zone
66kV (high voltage)
5.0 metres
4.0 metres
33kV (high voltage)
3.5 metres
2.5 metres
11kV (high voltage)
2.6 metres
1.6 metres
400V/230V (low voltage)
1.5 metres
0.5 metres

Cut/Trim Notice
MainPower staff are systematically visiting every area of
our network and leaving Cut/Trim Notices with owners
of trees that require some action under the regulations.
In most cases, the cost of the first cut of trees affecting
the MainPower network will be met by us.
2nd Cut/Trim Notice
Many trees have received their free cut at MainPower’s
cost. Please don’t wait to be reminded that your trees
need to be cut again. Be proactive, regularly inspect
your trees and if they are in either the Notice Zone or
the Growth Limit Zone they must be trimmed safely:
call us on 03 311 8381 for a free inspection and a quote
from our utility arborists. Be aware that if your trees
cause any problems on our network, you may be
charged for all costs of repair.
Offences Committed by
Tree Owners
There are tough penalties for tree owners who do
not comply with a written request to cut their trees,
or do not advise MainPower on 0508 60 70 80 of the
time and location of the cutting work.
On summary conviction, tree owners may be liable
for a fine not exceeding $10,000 and a further fine of
$500 for every day on which the offence continues.
If your trees are considered an immediate danger to
our network, MainPower has an obligation to remove
any hazard. If you have failed to keep your trees clear
of power lines, or not returned our paperwork, then
as the tree owner you are responsible for all costs
incurred by us to remove any hazard.
kV=kilovolts V=volts
Note:
• These distances are from the power line,
not the power pole.
• These distances are a minimum and apply in all
conditions, including high wind or snow.
• In most instances, the power lines that go to a house or
building are low voltage power lines.
• Power lines that go down a street may be
low or high voltage.
Cutting Trees Near Live Lines
Due to the risk of danger, cutting trees near live power
lines is a very specialised job. MainPower has its own
team of experienced and qualified utility arborists
(arborists trained to work near live lines). Always
remember: touching live power lines, or trees close to
the lines, can result in serious injury or death.
