says the response to the ideahasbeen ‘‘outstandingandcountrywide’’.‘‘Weare in talkswith the

CanterburyA&Pshow, theHamiltonCityCouncil, andafewothers.ObviouslyAnzacDay is themost requestedengagement, but otherengagements suchasatschools, A&Pshows, horseshows, as funeralGuards­of­Honourandmilitary bookingsarealso in thepipeline,’’ hesays.MrAppleton says as an

historical troop it’s intended toeducate aswell as showhowthe trooperswouldhavelooked.‘‘Theequipmentwehave is

expensive tobuyandkeep ingoodcondition,’’ he says.As a result the troopcharges

for appearanceswith the fundsbeingused toensure the gear,clothingandweaponsarekept

in goodcondition.MrAppleton said the grants

from the twoA&Passociationswere verywelcomebut itwouldbegreat to findamajorsponsor tohelp the troop,whichwas settingupacharitable trust.‘‘TheCharitable trustwill

Sockburn,Christchurch,whererigorous trainingwasundertaken to improve thestaminaandproficiencyofbothhorseand rider. It is saidthat theCanterburyhorseswere theenvyof theotherunits, saidMrAppleton.‘‘Mencamepouring into the

camp fromall parts of thedistrictwith thehopeof gettingawaywith the forcenowbeingmobilised.‘‘Somanywere turneddown,

mainly onmedical groundsthat another regiment couldhavebeen formed.On

September 23, 1914 theCanterburyMountedRifles(CMR) set sail fromLyttelton.‘‘Little did theyknowof the

horrors that awaited them.TheCMRwere to fight inEgyptdefending theSuezCanal,Gallipoli, PalestineandJordan.Theywere renownedasa

Variety of issues submitted onWaimakariri district residents havesubmitted on a variety of issues in theLong Term Plan.TheWaimakariri District Council

heard oral submissions last week on‘‘a whole mixed bag’’ of issuesincluding a proposed extension to theOhoka drainage area, recreationalopportunities, drainage and floodingissues in Kaiapoi and the three binsproposal, Mayor David Ayers says.‘‘There were some specific

suggestions as there always are,’’ MrAyers says.Submitters included the four

community boards, the CanterburyDistrict Health Board (CDHB), theCancer Society, Access and localreserve and domain advisory groups.Mr Ayers says the CDHB’s oral

submission was mostly positive,‘‘encouraging us to further developour smoke free policy’’ and promotinghealthy living and recreational

opportunities.‘‘The CDHB has always been willing

to support local government and wesee them as a branch of localgovernment anyway.’’The Ashley Gorge Domain Advisory

Group submitted on its proposal toredevelop an historic cottage, knownas the log cabin, which it was todevelop as an information centre andwet weather shelter.Mr Ayers says there were a number

of oral submitters referring to theproposed three bins waste scheme,based on the red, yellow and greenbins used in Christchurch, with amixture of views expressed, althoughmore were opposed.‘‘Some of the longer oral

submissions included the three bins.One person said the plastic bagsactually discouraged waste going tolandfill as people have to buy the bagsand there was some discussion aroundhow do we get organic waste out of thelandfill.’’

There were also concerns about thewest Kaiapoi drainage system and it isaffected by other drainage systems,after last year’s floods, Mr Ayers says.‘‘There were a few submissions

about flood remediation. We have toconsider other factors other than howwe can get water quickly from oneplace to another.‘‘A lot of our water flows through the

Kaiapoi area, so the argument is weshouldn’t let that water run too fast.’’The proposed multi­court sportsstadium drew amix of submissions,which several opposed, Mr Ayers says.‘‘The stadium is set down for the

2021/2022 financial year and it will bereviewed in 2018, so it’s not on theradar for many people yet.‘‘I would expect that it will be

something the community will bediscussing over the next three yearsand ideas will be formulated by thenext Long Term Plan process in 2018,so I expect there will be a lot morediscussion on it then.’’

The deadly 7.8 magnitude earthquakethat struck Nepal on Anzac Day is nowbelieved to have killed more than 7000people with extensive damage done tovast areas of the country.Three New Zealanders known to be

in Nepal when the earthquake struckare still unaccounted for.There is an urgent need for

humanitarian assistance in thecountry with hundreds of thousands ofpeople now homeless.ShelterBox, an international

disaster relief organisation,supported by North Canterburypeople, is already in Nepal working tohelp the homeless.The South Island co­ordinator for

ShelterBox, Rangiora Rotary Clubmember, Paddy Quinlan, said a UnitedKingdom­based ShelterBox teamarrived in Nepal a few days after theearthquake.‘‘The quake occurred between the

major cities of Kathmandu andPokhara, with tremors felt as far awayas Delhi in India,’’ he said.ShelterBox works closely with

Rotarians around the world to providesurvival kits for people in need duringthe aftermath of a disaster.The survival kits contain a tent,

thermal blankets, ground sheets,water storage and purificationequipment, solar lamps, cookingutensils, mosquito nets, and other life­support essentials, all packed into aplastic box not much bigger than alarge suitcase.The boxes provide emergency

shelter equipment and supplies tosupport communities around theworld overwhelmed by disaster andhumanitarian crisis.The ShelterBox teamwas sent to

Nepal after an initial assessment ofthe post­earthquake situation there by

Ashish Chaulagain, a member ofRotaract, Rotary International’s youthprogramme, in Kathmandu.‘‘We already have aid, including

tents, prepositioned in the country,which could be used as emergencyclinics, as well as shelters in theimmediate aftermath,’’ Paddy said.‘‘In addition, ShelterBox has

dispatched 500 shelter kits and theywill wait to hear from the assessmentteamwhat is required,’’ he said.‘‘ShelterBox has recently been

working in the country after the recentland­slides and is in talks with severalaid agencies, and Rotary contacts,based in Nepal, to see where we canhelp,’’ he said.

ShelterBox’s quick response todisasters relies on the generosity ofthe public, Rotary Clubs and otherorganisations.‘‘The Rangiora Rotary Club, as

always, has been at the forefront infund raising,’’ Paddy said.‘‘The club recently donated $2000 to

ShelterBox NZ and has beendisplaying a ShelterBox outside theNewWorld (supermarket) in Rangioraat various times, and intends tocontinue to do so over forthcomingweeks.‘‘This raises that awareness of

ShelterBox’s involvement worldwideto the general public in Rangiora,’’says Paddy.

Nursing service remembered

History . . . SophieWright wears her greatgrandmother’s nurses uniformwith pride atthe Waikari Anzac Day service.

PHOTO BY MARGWRIGHT.

Seventy years ago, AliceWright, fromHawarden, left New Zealand shores towork as amilitary nurse duringWorldWar 2.On Anzac Day, her great grand­

daughter, Sophie, wore Alice’s uniformthat she left New Zealand with.It had been kept in the same tin trunk

that travelled with Alice to the otherside of the world in 1941.Kept in its entirety, after a few small

adjustments, Sophie was able to wearthe uniformwith pride at theWaikariAnzac Day service.Alice livedmost of her life ­ apart

from her years of service ­ inHawarden.When she went to Christchurch Girls

High she had already decided nursingwas going to be her career and sodecided to sign up to nurse overseas.TheHawarden andWaikari

residents were busy organisingfarewells for those who were leavingthe area to serve and at one of thefunctions, Alice was given a nurseswatch which was inscribed from themembers of her local community.Travelling on the hospital ship, the

Maunganui (which was also usedduringWW1) she arrived in Suez, Egyptfour weeks later.

Alice nursed in Helwan, 18 miles upthe Nile from Cairo. The building hadbeen the GrandHotel and betweenshifts, she visited the area around her,played hockey and was involved withother events organised for the forces.

In 1944, she was transferred toMolfetta on Italy’s south east coast. Shemanaged to visit Damascus, Jerusalem,Jordan and Palestine when able toleave the rigours of nursing life.Her daughter in law, MargWright,

says Alice’s letters home talked aboutthe joy of seeingmany a familiar facefromNorth Canterbury, manymilesfrom home.Alice saw the need to keep her

patients busy and as well as nursing,became an unofficial occupationaltherapist in the hope of helpingsoldiers to rehabilitate.She was officially discharged in

October 1945 and returned toHawarden where shemarried localfarmer JackWright. Both were loyalmembers of the Hawarden ­ WaikariRSA.Sophie is the grand­daughter of

Alice’s son Lew and along with thebeautifully preserved nurses uniform,woreminiatures of Alice’s servicemedals and the watch presented to herbefore she went away.Sophie has also been brought up on

the same farm Alice lived on in her postwar years ­ the fourth generation ofWrights to call the rolling hills ofHawarden home.

managerutilities and roadingsays themaintenancework isrequired todetermine theconditionof stainless steelcomponents.‘‘Their conditionhas

consequences for the long termmaintenanceand integrity ofthepipeline, so it is importantthatwecarry out this sampling

Rules in the spotlightTheMinister ofLocalGovernment, PaulaBennett, has appointedaRulesReductionTaskforce tohear fromNewZealandersabout their experienceswithpropertyrules and regulations, especially those thatthey consider irrelevant orunnecessary.Themembers appointedhaveawealth

of experienceacross thebuildingandtrades sectors aswell as central and localgovernment.No­one is suggesting that governmentdo

awaywith regulations andcompliance.But the government is keen to listen to

whatpeoplehave to say regarding theregulations that frustrate themwitha viewtoupdating the rules asdeemedappropriate.EnvironmentMinister,NickSmith, has

beenquotedas saying that compliancecosts fornewhomesare in the regionof$15,000.As Imovearound theelectorate, I am

frequentlymadeawareof rules andregulations that on the faceof it appear tobe confoundingNewZealanders,especially in thehousing sector.OnThursday 14May2015, Iwill be co­

hosting the taskforce inNorthCanterburywithWaimakaririMPMattDoocey.The taskforcewillwork closelywith

local government, farmers, businesses,trades, and thepublic tohear viewsonsuch things asproperty, planning, roading,water,waste, environmental protection,OSHregulations, publichealth, commerceandother regulations that frustrate andhinderproperty owners.Information gatheredat the community

meetingwill be collatedandadded tomaterial received fromothermeetingsaround the country.Once the taskforcehas consideredall

the submissions, itwillweighup thebenefits of the rules ­ brought to itsattention ­ against the concerns raisedandmake recommendations to the governmentabout any changes that need tobemade.Iwouldencourageanyonewhohasan

interest in theaboveareas of concern, orwhohasbeen frustratedby rules andregulations, tomeetmembers of thetaskforcewhen they visit.The communitymeeting,which I amco­

hosting, is onThursday,May14, at 6.30pmat theRangioraTownHall.If anyone isunable to attend for any

District Plan notifiedTheHurunuiDistrict Plan reviewhasbeen the subject of numerousmayoralcolumnsover thepast twoyears.From theoutsetweundertook toprovideourcommunity every opportunity to engagewith council in conversationsbeforeaproposedPlanwasdeveloped.Theseopportunities for community

input continueduntil lastweekwhen theProposedDistrictPlanwasnotified.True toourpromise,we’vedelayed

notifying thePlan several times to allowfurtherdiscussion inaneffort to gainmaximumagreement ondifficult issues.Two roundsof semi­social drop­in

events and standsatA&PShows rotatedaround thedistrict giving individuals andsmall groups theopportunity to share theirviewsand suggestionswithelectedmembers andStaff.Hundredsof personalletterswere sent to landowners explainingcouncil proposals and inviting responses.Additional to all that therehasbeen

manyproperty visits by staff, councillorsand specialist advisers tomeet landownersto gainanunderstanding first hand theimplications thePlanproposalswouldhaveon individual properties.I believeweofferedanunprecedented

opportunity for community input andacceptance inanattempt to reduce the

need for costlyEnvironmentCourt actionthat seldomsatisfies anyone.ADistrict Plan is intended toprovidea

framework for theorderly operationanddevelopment of thedistrict and to givepeopleashighadegreeof certainty aspossible.While theCouncil hasnegotiatedwith

the community on thePlan itmust beaccepted that therearenonnegotiableareasdictatedbyGovernment andRegionalCouncil Policies andActs ofParliament.ThesePolicies arehierarchalwith

district councils obliged to reflect thesehigher orderdocuments in theirDistrictPlans ­ this hasbeen themost contentiousissue.WehaveworkedcloselywithECanand

other statutory organisations to ensurealignment, but at the same time strived togiveeffect to thosehigher orderpolicieswhileprotecting thebest interests of ourcommunity.I amaware that this sort of stuff goes

undermanypeoples radar, but I canassure you, thesePlanswill impact yourlife.If you’vemissed theopportunity tohave

your say, youneed to read thePlanandmakea submission.

Nth Canty councils call forfully-elected regional bodyBy DAVID HILL

NorthCanterbury’s councils havecalled on theGovernment tocommit to restoring a fully­elected regional body by 2019.The three local councils have

discussed theGovernment’sEnvironment Canterbury (ECan)ReviewDiscussionDocument,following visits fromEnvironmentMinisterDrNickSmith andAssociate LocalGovernmentMinister LouiseUpston.TheWaimakariri andHurunui

councils havemade submissionsaccepting the proposedmixed­membermodel for one termonly.TheGovernment is proposing a

mixed­member governancestructure for ECan to be in placefor the local governmentelections inOctober 2016, whichwill likelymean seven electedmembers (including one fromNorthCanterbury) and sixGovernment appointees.It has also proposed the

retention of ECan’s specialresourcemanagement powersbeyond 2016 or ‘‘until such time asthese are superseded by furtherchanges to theResourceManagement Act’’.WaimakaririMayorDavid

Ayers says his council approved adraft submission last week, bynine votes to two.The submission supported the

proposedmixed­membermodelfor the 2016­2019 term,‘‘conditional on a return to a fully­elected regional body in 2019 andwith at least one constituency

member representingNorthCanterbury’’.‘‘If theGovernmentwon’t give

an assurance of that thenwewon’t support it,’’ he says.MrAyers says the council does

not support a Canterbury regionalbody continuing to have differentpowers to rest ofNewZealand.‘‘If theGovernment ismaking

changes to theRMA, as proposed,we don’t seewhyECan or analternative regional bodywouldneed extra powers beyond thatpoint.‘‘Canterbury should have the

same rights as everyone else inthe country andECan shouldhave the samepowers as otherregional bodies.’’MrAyers says his council

supports the establishment of aseparate land andwater orwateronly authority, whichwasproposed in the 2010 CreechReport, as long as it is fully­elected.In the submissionwritten by

chief executiveHamishDobbie,theHurunuiDistrict Council saysit accepts the proposedmixed­membermodel for the 2016­2019term. The council also supportsretainingECan’s special resourceconsent powers for that term.‘‘However, if they are retained

we strongly recommend that itbecomesmandatory to undertakepre­notification consultation,giving the opportunity forcommunity input.‘‘This is important, as one

opportunity to influence a planoutcomehas been deniedwiththe no appeals except for points

of lawprovision.’’TheHurunui council also

supports consideration beinggiven to establishing a separatewater authority.KaikouraMayorWinstonGray

sayswhile his council is notmaking a submission, themajority of councillors backedtheWaimakariri DistrictCouncil’s view.TheChristchurchCity Council

hasmade a submission opposingthemixed­membermodel, callingfor a fully­elected regional bodyto be restored and asking forconsideration to be given toreducing the regional body’sfunctions.DeputyMayor Vicki Buck says

it is ridiculous for the city councilto control the provision of roads,footpaths, housing subdivisionsandpublic transportinfrastructure, without the powerto decidewhere the buses go.MrAyers says he understands

this view and iswilling to discusspublic transport being taken overby local authorities.‘‘Even if it’s largely controlled

byChristchurch, I’mwilling toconsider it, as long asWaimakariri and Selwyn have astrong voice for our districts.‘‘Post­earthquake the public

transport systemwas severelyaffected and it’s taken awhile todevelop a system thatmeets theneeds of a shifting population andchangingwork locations.‘‘More people are nowworking

in the central city so that suggeststhe location of people’s work iscertainly not settled.’’

Pastor moves on to Christchurch

Family affair . . . Emma andGrant Chivers, and their childrenJasmine (12, left), Serayah (13) andMicah (9), aremoving on tomake a difference in the lives ofmore young people. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By DAVID HILL

Grant and Emma Chivers have touched the lives ofcountless Rangiora youth over the last 12 years.The Rangiora Baptist Church pastors are moving to

Christchurch this month, where Grant will take on the roleof managing the children and youth programmes at theSouthWest Baptist Church.Grant has lived in Rangiora since the age of eight,

attending Rangiora Borough School and Rangiora HighSchool, before working at Mainpower, while Emmamovedto Rangiora with her family at age 10.It was during a two year stint in Southern Africa as

missionaries, where Grant developed a ‘‘longing forworking with people, especially with the young people wewere working with in the orphanages’’.Grant became a youth pastor at the Rangiora Baptist

Church 12 years ago, a role he has shared with Emma.‘‘It’s Grant’s main job, but it’s something we have enjoyed

together,‘‘ Emma says.‘‘When you work with teenagers your home becomes their

home.‘‘We’ve always had an open home policy so they could

come at any time.’’Grant says when a crisis hits a family, young people need

someone they can turn to, meaning he could receive a textmessage as late 10pm at night or a young person could turnup at tea time.‘‘We have people within the church who are happy to

provide emergency accommodation, so they didn’tnecessarily stay here. They often just need somewhere tostay until they can go home,’’ he says.‘‘Sometimes they just need some time away from home,’’

Emma adds.‘‘Sometimes they are just get dealt a bad deal and they

need a bit of love. Sometimes the parents need a break justas much as the teenagers.’’Grant says the phrase ‘‘it takes a whole community to

raise a child’’ is certainly true in his experience. He hasworked closely with police youth aid, Winz, schoolcounsellors, Waimakariri District Council staff and otheryouth workers over the years.One of his successes has been getting youth workers

under the 24/7 YouthWork programme into Rangiora HighSchool and Rangiora New Life School.‘‘With the work I was doing, I could see the need.‘‘Young people needed extra support.’’Grant says one of the most satisfying aspects of his role is

having young people in their 20s coming to visit ‘‘to tell ushow they’re doing’’.‘‘It’s good to see the positive influence we’ve had on their

lives.’’Over the last three years, Grant has been involved in

social work through the Hope Community Trust, which hasestablished a range of social services since theearthquakes. The trust was established by Paddy and CarolHenderson who spent four years with the Rangiora BaptistChurch, before moving to the North Island.‘‘We offer a full wrap around care. When somebody comes

into the cafe we can assess what their needs are,’’ Grantsays.‘‘It’s surprising the rise in the number of homeless

people,’’ Emma adds.‘‘You wouldn’t think we would have homeless people in

Rangiora but we do.’’Emma says the Hope Community Trust offers a range of

support, including showers, emergency meals, clothing,blankets and budgeting advise. People who receive support,often volunteer at the cafe or community garden, allowingthem to learn new skills which can lead to employment.‘‘We have had some very positive stories of changed lives,

which I guess is our positive story as well,’’ Emma says.Grant says affordable housing is an ongoing issue for the

Waimakariri district.The Rangiora Baptist Church has worked with Vision

West, a Christian charitable trust from Auckland, which hasnow established itself in Waimakariri and has so far builtsix homes in Rangiora and 12 in Kaiapoi.Grant’s new role is 018 (0­18 years) manager for the South

West Baptist Church, based at Spreydon in Christchurch,overseeing six different community trusts runningprogrammes for children and teenagers in the community.‘‘They’ve got lots going on and their philosophy is looking

at the community and the needs of the community, what arethe family needs in the area, just like we do here.’’If the community needs a pre­school, they consider ‘how

can we assist to make that happen’.’’Grant and Emma have three children, Serayah (13),

Jasmine (12) andMicah (9). Serayah is in year 10 at RangioraHigh School, while all three have attended SouthbrookSchool, where Grant has served on the Board of Trustees.

Cosy winter babies thanks to local businessBabies born and staying at theRangioraMaternity hospital will have thewarmest little toes this winter.North Canterbury business, Cosy

Toes, owned and operated inRotherhamby Tracey Topp iscelebrating 10 years in business andwanted to do something for our smallestmembers of the community tomark theoccasion.Each babywill receive a pair of little

merino socks.The inspiration to give thematernity

hospital themerino socks camewhenTopp thought back towhen she firstbegan her business in 2005.‘‘One of the reasons I startedmy

business back then and still nowwaswanting every child to once againwearwool and think no different of it, just as

I did as a child,’’ Topp says.Ms Topp grewup on a sheep farm in

Cust and has strongmemories ofgrowing up aroundwool. Thesememories have now turned into apassion through her business whichspecialises inmerinowool socks.The orders come in via herwebsite

and then get shipped all overNewZealand and to different parts of theworld. The business began because shecouldn’t findwool socks for her two pre­school boys towearwhich lead her tofind out what had happened toNewZealand’s home grownwool industriesand products over the past years.Wool products including littlemerino

socks in baby and children’s sizes hadcompletely gone out of ourmarket. Herbusiness although, is not just about

retail it also promotes the benefits ofwearingwool.‘‘The socks aremade frommerino

which is a premiumnatural product andso I have to promotewhy it’s great towear a quality fibre on your feet,’’ shesays.‘‘Most people know the difference, but

a lot still don’t. There is a differencebetween paying a couple of dollars forexample for a pair of socksmade fromanothermaterial and a price for the bestsocks in theworldmade frommerino.’’The business has expanded from start

up from the few little sizes that werethen stocked to catering formen andwomen plusmanymorewool relatedproducts. Babieswearingwool will ofcourse be kept warm; it is breathableand doesn’t trapmoisture so helps to

regulate a baby’s temperature naturally.Suzanne Salton, ChargeMidwife andManager of RangioraMaternityHospital is promoting theRangiorababies to be dressed inwool clothing.‘‘We are all trying to encourage

mothers to usewool for their babies; wealso give awoollen hat to every babybefore they go home.’’Ms Topp says the CanterburyDistrict

Health Boardwebsite was includingwool in the list of recommendedclothing for new babies withwool hats,beanies and bootees.‘‘Maybe one day I will be able to give

all new babies inNewZealand a pair ofnewmerinowool socks but for now I’llstart with theRangiora babies and Ihope their little feet will be a little bitwarmer!’’

Horses provideearthquake relief

Quake relief . . . Equine specialists Deirdre Ryan (left) and her son JacobMilne (right), withmental health professionals Cassandra Rolstonand Yvonne Barton, are ready to support those strugglingwith ongoing earthquake stress. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Horses are providing relief for earthquake­related stress.Canterbury Community Trust funding hasmade it possible

for people to experience the healing power of horses, as theyseek to cope with everyday life following the earthquakes.Wellbeing North Canterburymanager Deirdre Ryan, who

also runsWaimakariri­based Salta Limited, which offersequine­assisted learning and healing, says the fundingallows people to access the programme throughWellbeingNorth Canterbury and theNorth Canterbury Riding for theDisabled group.‘‘Since the earthquakes people are looking for different

ways of coping and we are looking at providing somethingthroughWellbeing (North Canterbury).‘‘I’m so passionate about it that I wanted tomake it

affordable and available to more people.’’Deirdre has developed the initiative over the last five

years and says equine­assisted learning is ‘‘a new kind ofapproach’’ to allow people to grow, to strengthenrelationships, explore possibilities and optimise potentialin all aspects of life.It has benefits for team­building as well as healing and

participants do not need any experience with horses— ‘‘andit’s better they don’t’’.All sessions involve amental health professional working

alongside an equine specialist and no riding is involved.The horses are completely free, as no halters or ropes are

used, although sessions are conducted in an enclosed area,‘‘so horses won’t do anything they don’t feel like doing’’.The horses often become ametaphor for every day life,

‘‘which helps us to access our own solutions to meet life’schallenges’’, Deirdre says.‘‘There is no right and wrong.‘‘It’s all about what they experience,’’ she says.‘‘Since the earthquakes people have been struggling with

anxiety and worries and this offers something different to doin the outdoors.‘‘Horses can get to the heart of thematter with people very

quickly which helps people develop really good coping skillsand it helps with relationships.’’The sessions are based on the Equine Assisted Growth and

Learning Association (EAGALA) model, which is used in 49countries around the world.

MainPower’s support of our rural community recognises theimportant role of the farming sector in our region.

Simplewaysto reduce yourenergy billWith the onset of winter and the potential in-crease in consumption of power to combat thecold weather, now is a good time to start think-ing about what you can do to save money onyour power bill. Here are some tips from EECAEnergywise.

Dry your clothes outside – a clothes dryer costsabout $1 per load.Also helps prevent damp andmould caused by drying clothes inside.

Dry firewood gives more heat. Dry for at least ayear and store in a shed/garage or undercover.

If your shower fills a 10 litre bucket in less thana minute, fit a shower flow restrictor to cut hotwater costs significantly.

Change to energy efficient light bulbs. Eachhigh-use bulb you replace can save you up to$20 a year.

Only have heat pumps and gas fires turned onwhen you are home and using the room.

Turn off appliances at the wall to save $$.

Tighten hinges, catches and latches on doors andwindows to stop heat loss. Use draught stoppers.

Taking a stand against slavery

DanielWalker. Sue Hanna.

New Zealanders will be taking astand against human traffickingand slavery at Hanmer Springsthis weekend.The country’s leading anti­

slavery workers and activistswill speak at the second annualHope Conference in HanmerSprings, beginning on Sunday,May 10, to encourage Kiwis tomake a stand against humantrafficking and slavery.‘‘Many people are unaware

that there are more slaves in theworld now than ever before inhistory. It has becomemoreprofitable than selling drugsbecause a person can be soldagain and again,’’ saysconference organiser MarinaShearer, of Waiau.‘‘The problem is enormous

with nearly 36 million peopleenslaved worldwide, but for theaverage New Zealander, it is noteven on their radar. We live sofar away from the maincountries involved in this, andour culture is so democratic,that most of us are notpersonally touched by humanslavery,’’ she says.‘‘But we need to get educated

andmake a stand. Humantrafficking isn’t going todisappear without a world­wideoutcry.’’Guest speakers include Sue

Hanna, fromHagarInternational in Cambodia, andDaniel Walker, fromNVADERNZ.MrWalker has become

familiar to many through hisbook ‘‘God in a Brothel’’ and adocumentary ‘‘UndercoverRescue’’ which has screened onTV1, documenting his years as

an undercover investigatorrescuing women and childrenwho had been sold into sexslavery.These days MrWalker heads

up NVADER, a rescueorganisation that has offices inNew Zealand and Thailand.Sue Hanna is returning home

to New Zealand to shareinspiring stories of the workHagar International is doing torehabilitate women and girlsrescued from slavery inCambodia.Ms Shearer believes many

New Zealanders would beshocked to learn our owncountry is not immune.‘‘Some of our speakers are

lawyers who have recently beenrepresenting individuals andgroups being exploited in theconstruction industryrebuilding Christchurch. This isnot just factory workers in Asiaor Eastern Europe ­ it’s on ourbackdoor step.’’Steph Lambert, of Justice Acts

NZ, who will be speaking at the

conference, says New Zealandmade significant progress lastyear with the first case to go toprosecution.In August two men were

arrested and charged with 11counts of people trafficking forlabourers in the viticultureindustry.There have also been recent

investigations into the fishingindustry.‘‘The significance of the case

as the first to go to prosecutionshould not be understated, butwe should have growing concernabout human trafficking andforced labour exploitation inthis country,’’ Ms Lambert says.The Hope Conference runs

from Sunday to Tuesday, May 10to 12, and is packed withspeakers and events, includingsessions with art therapistCorina Hazlett, drama and a fairtrade expo.For more information please

comparatively high rates ofdiabetes and gout compared toother areas inNewZealand,‘‘so I just want people to gethealthy’’.‘‘It’s an opportunity to help

dairy chairmanCameronHendersonsayswhile the latest drop inFonterra’sfarmgatemilk price, from $4.70 perkilogram ofmilk solids to $4.50, is notunexpected, it will be disappointing forfarmers and sharemilkers as they gear upfor winter.‘‘A lot of analysts were picking a drop

and after Synlait andWestland droppedtheir prices, it was not entirelyunexpected.‘‘The retro payments are drying up very

quickly and there’s notmuch farmers cando to adjust.We are unlikely to seemuchpositive cashflow until Christmas.‘‘Given that the largest proportion of

expenses is incurred at calving, farmerswill need to look at their expenses.’’ MrHenderson says farmersmay need toreconsider staffing numbers, whether tobuy­in feed and / or reduce cownumbers.‘‘This will require a lot of forward

planning and not leaving it until thespring. You can’t get awaywith leaving ituntil spring this year.‘‘One of the thingsDairyNZ has

pushingwith the tactics for tight timesprogramme is to look carefully at yourcosts.‘‘Peoplemanagement is always a

challenge, probablymore so this year.But you have tomake sure you don’t cutback toomuch on labour because youcould take on another risk you don’tneed.’’MrHenderson says the drop in themilk

pricewill have a flow on effect for the

wider community ­ ‘‘it could be a veryquiet field days atMystery Creek nextmonth, with farmers keeping their handsin their pockets’’.‘‘You’re looking at a 50 per cent

reduction in income, so farmerswon’t bespending on non­essential items.’’However, with early indicationssuggesting themilk price could improveto $5.50 or $6 next year, there is still someoptimism in the dairy industry, MrHenderson says.‘‘That seems to be the structure of dairy

industry. The long termnumbers don’ttend to changemuch. Last yearwe hadthe highest payout on record and thisyearwe’ve probably got the lowest, so weprobably need to look atmulti­yearforecasting rather than just one year.’’However,MrHenderson acknowledges

anyone in a new conversion or a newsharemilking contract will struggle with

the extra costs incurred.Fonterra chairman JohnWilson says

the reduction reflects the continuing andsignificant volatility in internationaldairy commodity prices caused by over­supply in themarket.‘‘We have confidence in the long­term

fundamentals of international dairydemand, however themarket has not yetrebalanced andGDTprices for productsthat inform our farmgatemilk price havefallen 23 per cent sinceFebruary.‘‘This reductionwill impact cash flows

for our farmers, whowill need tocontinue exercising cautionwith on­farmbudgets.‘‘Our farmers are alreadymanaging

very tight cashflows. Although thisreduction is not the news that anyonewants, it is important we keep ourfarmers updated given the significantmarket uncertainty.’’

Last SundaywasNational AlpacaDay.It was the dayNewZealand’s public

were given a chance to visit an alpacafarm to get close to these gentle, curiousand intelligent animals, whocommunicatewith each other bymakingsoft, humming noises.InNorth Canterbury, five alpaca farms

­ Aquaviva Alpacas, Starlight Alpacas,Belise Alpacas, StoneyMeadowsAlpacasandHoneyfields Alpacas ­ opened theirgates to the public.At Fernside’s Aquaviva Alpacas,

owners CathyRoche and StephenDavyhad a busy daywith a steady stream ofvisitors, ‘‘more than last year’’.One of their female alpacas, Black

Magic and her young cria, Dynamo, werepopular attractions during the day.National AlpacaDay is anAlpaca

Association ofNewZealand initiative,which began a few years ago, Stephensaid.It was hoped that the open daywould

givemembers of the public anopportunity to learn about alpacas, seehow they are farmed and share the joy ofowning them.Alpacas are popular with lifestyle

farmers because they are easy to handleand have lovely soft wool with awiderange of natural colours, fromwhite,fawn, brown and black.There are two types of alpacas: the

Huacaya, which has fleece similar tosheep, and the Suri, which has a fine,silky wool.Many alpaca breeders are now offering

hand­knitted garments for sale, madefrom the fleece their animals produce.

These products aremostly available atagricultural and pastoral shows.However, Ohoka’sHoneyfields

Alpacas, which took part in last Sunday’sopen day, produce a small selection ofhand­knitted garments available for saleat their farm.

Oxford rises for away victoryBy PETERWILLIAMS

Rising high . . . Ashley No 8Matt King claims the ball in a lineout during thematch againstDarfield. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

WhenOxford headed south to faceRakaia last Saturday in the LuisettiSeeds Combined rugby competition,mostpundits would have been predicting avictory for the home side.Rakaia had put together a four­match

winning streak, with its only loss havingcome in the very first round of the season,and that was a narrow one away fromhome to section leaders Southbridge.But no­one told theOxford players.The team followed the game plan to

perfection and put together itsmostimpressive performance of the season,outscoringRakaia 26­15 and dominatingthematch from the opening stanza.FullbackMontyMaulewas an

influential figurewith a flawless kickingdisplay, converting both Oxford’s triesand adding four penalty goals, as well asscoring one of the two tries himself.His was certainly a player­of­the­match

performance.Oxford’s other try was scored by

flankerWill Sellwood, who turned in atireless display. It was appropriate that itwas his try which sealed thematch forOxford half way through the second half.Captain StewDalzell led from the front

and SeanThompsonwas the lynchpin ina staunchOxford defensive effort.Incredibly, despite thewin, Oxford

actually dropped from fourth equal tosixth on a very congested section 1 pointstable, as the two teamswhich it wassharing fourth positionwith, Lincoln andCeltic, both registered bonus pointvictories on Saturday.Glenmark has consolidated its position

in this section, courtesy of a comfortableenoughwin against Kaiapoi at Cheviot.Glenmark secured a 41­18 victory over

one of its traditional rivals. First halftries by FilipeKurovali, JeremyBondandChris Keane put Glenmark incontrol, leading 19­8 at half­time, whileSeanGinders, GeorgeMasefield andKeane added further tries in the secondhalf.Chris Keane, normally a half­back,

made themost of his opportunitiesplaying at centre andwas rewardedwiththeWaimakReal Estate player of the dayaward for his efforts.While this win leaves Glenmark second

on the points table in section 1, it willneed to replicate Oxford’s effort nextSaturdaywhen the team travels south toRakaia.With three Saturdays of round­robin

play remaining, only Southbridge seemsrelatively assured of securing a play­offspot. Glenmark andOxford findthemselves in a real scrapwith Celtic,Rakaia andLincoln for the other threequarter­final places.It is a different story in section 2, where

it appears as thoughMethven andWaihora are virtual certainties to qualifywhile Southern andBurnham­Dunsandel­Irwell having opened up a bitof a gap onDarfield, Ashley andHampstead for the other two positions.Ashley lost a golden opportunity to put

itself right back in themixwhen it lost bya solitary point to lower­rankedDarfieldon Saturday.The concession of an early converted

try set the alarm bells ringing among theAshley faithful, but by half­time, on theback of a solid forward effort, Ashley hadtaken the leadwith a try to hard­workinglock forward, James Thiele.The 13­7 advantagewasmaintained

throughoutmost of the second half,despite Darfield having the better of theterritorial battle.But with just 10minutes to goDarfield

five­eighth ScottMitchell pounced on aloose ball after a comedy of errors fromAshley, and showed good footwork tothread his way through awoefullydisorganised defence to score handy tothe posts and deny Ashley thewin.Whilemathematically Ashleymay still

have a chance to qualify, it will require amost unlikely set of results for that now tooccur.The twoNorth Canterbury teams yet to

record awin faced off atMandeville.Saracens dominated the game early butwas unable to score points until midwaythrough the first half.Saracens’ domination for the

remainder of the half brought tries toJoshMaynard, PeterManahi andNathanReidwhile Ohoka also scored tomakethe half­time score 17­7.Ohoka lifted its game in the second

half, but was unable to stop Saracensscoring further tries to replacementNo 8Johnny Turnbull and flankerNathanGoodwin, leaving the final scoreSaracens 29 Ohoka 7.Saracens players of the daywere live

wire flankerNathanGoodwin and propPeterManahi.While the scoreboardmight suggest

otherwise a lot of creditmust be given tovery youngOhoka sidewhich stuck to itstaskwell. Although it could only scoreone try, it challenged the Saracensdefence on several occasions.

Top of the table clashIn a top of the table clash at theAmberley Domain, theHurunui Rangersmen’s division 2 football side hostedHalswell United in a tight, tense andsometimes testymatchwhich ended in a1­all draw.The first half consisted of both sides

creating half­chances, but neither beingable to finish off resulting in the twobeing locked at 0­all at half time.Centre backDougieHyde gave the

team a stern talking to at half­time andthis seemed to do the trick as theMattBlairMotors­sponsored teams came out‘‘all guns blazing’’ with Barry O’Reganfiring in a goal from short range in thesecondminute of the half.Rangers kept the pressure on for the

next 15minutes but could not improveon the score line.Halswell then began a series of attacks

and in the 18thminute was awarded apenalty, whichwas calmly put left ofkeeper Ben Shore.The remaining timewas a real arm

wrestle with neither side getting on topof the other until the final fiveminuteswhenwave after wave of Hurunuiattacks were repelled by the opposition.A 1­1 draw leaves both teams still

undefeated andRangers on top by virtueof a superior goal difference.Matt BlairMotors Presidents 0

It was a case of another outing,another variation on the team this weekfor theHurunui Rangers presidentsgrade team.Having been newly relegated to the

bottom of the table by the withdrawal ofthe only team below it, Hurunui took onthe top­of­the­table FerrymeadBays.The visitors startedwell, probing away

down both flanks, but theHurunui backfour had things pretty well under controluntil a lack of communication sawFerrymead score. Pace at the backwas aproblem and before long Ferrymead hadadded a penalty to lead 2­0 at half­time.The second half wasmore evenwith

chances at both ends, but Hurunui couldnot capitalise on its chances, while tiredlegs versus young legs led Ferrymead toa 3­nil win.Other Results:Hurunui Rangersmasters 2 Parklands

NC rugby from the sidelines

Try time . . . Del RioMackintosh is aboutto score one of Ashley under 14.5 Blue’stries against Oxford on Saturday.

PHOTO: SUPPLIED

This Saturdaywill see theconclusion of the first of three roundsin theUnder 14.5 competition. Kaiapoilooks a very powerful combination andhas swept all before it to date. It isscheduled tomeet the second­rankedteam, Ohoka, on Saturday.TheAshley club, though, deserves

much credit for fielding two sides ofsimilar strength in this grade and bothteams are certainly holding their own.Last Saturday Ashley Blue trailedOxford 19­33 at half­time in this grade’sChallenge Trophymatch, but theyturned the tables in the second halfwith an impressive performance torecord a 54­38 victory and thus retaintheNCRSUChallenge Shield.

One noticeable feature of thelower grade results to date this seasonis howwell the Amberley teams areperforming in both theUnder 13 andtheUnder 11.5 grades. InU13Amberley andOhoka are bothunbeaten, while in theU11.5 gradeAmberley andKaiapoi have yet to tastedefeat. This Saturday these two teamsmeet at Kaiapoi, whereKaiapoi will be

defending theGlenmark ChallengeShield inwhat promises to be thematch of the day in the lower grades.

Drumheller lives in Oxford,and is excited to bringCatalyst’s road show to hishome town.TheEastern are a string
