The law is the law and there will be noleewaywhen lower alcohol limits fordrivers come into force next week, saysRangiora Senior SergeantMalcolmJohnstone.‘‘The law is quite clear, youmust not

drink and drive if the amount of alcoholin your breath or blood exceeds theselimits,’’ he says.From nextMonday (December 1), the

alcohol limit for drivers 20 and overdrops from 400mcg per litre of breath to250mcg.The blood alcohol limit drops from

80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to50mg.For drivers under 20, the limit stays

at zero.Institute of Environmental Science

andResearch data indicatesmostadults may be able to drink twostandard drinks equivalent to a 330mlof beer, 100ml of wine or 32ml spirits over two hours and stay under the newlimits.ButMr Johnstone urges caution.‘‘Everyone is different, andmy

advice is, quite simply, don’t drink anddrive.‘‘People will need to put a lot more

thought into an evening out.’’He says arranging alternative

transport, making use of hotel courtesyvehicles, having a sober driver andwalking are all options.Sober drivers are already proving

their worth, he says.Regular police night patrols around

North Canterbury reveals 95 percent ofvehicles stopped have a sober driver.Many of these are in the younger age

bracket.

Keep it simple by not driving

Breath test . . . Constable Sean Greenall, of Rangiora police, ready to breath test NorthCanterbury motorists to ensure they are adhering to the new lower alcohol limits.

FromPage 1In the leadup to the lawchange, policeteamshavebeencalling onNorthCanterburypubs, offeringbreath tests to ‘‘peoplewhohavehada few’’.‘‘This hasworkedvery, verywell,’’Mr

Johnstone says.‘‘Again, Imust stress that there is no

‘safe’ level of alcoholwhendriving.Mybest advice is to keep it simpleandavoidanydoubt by choosingnot todrive if youare going todrink.’’Mr Johnstone remindsdrivers thatwith

the festive seasonapproaching, policewillbeout in forcemanningboozebuses andcheckpoints.‘‘Weprettymuchbreath test anyone

who is stopped for anyoffence.’’Under thenew law, if a breath

screening test showsadriver is over the250mcg level, theywill beasked to takeanevidential breath test.Drivers failing the testwill receivea

$200 infringementnoticeand50demeritpoints. Choosinganevidential blood test isnot anoption.Therewill benocriminalconviction.Anevidential breath test over 400mcg

will result in criminal charges.Refusinganevidential breath test, or failing tocomplete it for genuine reasonwill resultin anevidential blood test.Ablood test result under 50mgcarries

nopenalty, but adrivermaybe liable forcosts associatedwith the test.A result between51and80mgbrings an

infringementnoticeof up to $700, plus 50demerit points, total costs dependingonthe circumstance leading to theblood test.

Results ofmore than80mgof alcohol per100mlof bloodmeansmandatory criminalcharges.Refusing topermit anevidential blood

samplebeing takenmaybringa fineof$4,500, drivingdisqualificationof at leastsixmonths andaprison sentenceof up tothreemonths ona first or secondoffence,withhigherpenalties applying for thirdand subsequent offences. Theaccumulationof 100demerit pointswithintwoyears brings a threemonth licencesuspension.Mr Johnstone says thepublic are solidly

behinda lower legal alcohol limit for

driving,with 60percent supporting it.The changesbringNewZealand into linewith 89other countries, includingAustralia. Statistics showalcoholcontributes to around30percent ofNewZealand’s fatal roadcrashes, andMrJohnstone sees the lawchanges asanother tool todrive that toll down.‘‘Whatweneed todo is changepeople’s

mind sets, bringing a subsequent culturechange.‘‘Thinkof the changes inone

generationaround smoking. Itwouldbeawesome to see thathappeningwithdrinkdriving.’’

School growth continuesBy DAVID HILL

Waimakariri’s rural school rolls arereaching record levels as the district’spopulation continues to grow.Swannanoa, Fernside andWest

Eyreton Schools are reporting steadygrowth on the back of population growthin their areas, while Cust, Ashley andClarkville Schools say their rolls areholding steady.Fernside School opened a new two

classroombuilding in themodernlearning environment (MLE) style backin September and is set to finish the yearwith 270 students, after finishing lastyear at 263.‘‘It’s the biggest school roll we’ve ever

had,’’ says principal David Taylor.‘‘We are looking at about the same

number next year. The growth is steadyand ongoing, but our two newclassrooms have really picked up theslack.’’West Eyreton School deputy principal

LisaDuff says her school’s roll haspassed 200 for the first time this yearandwill finish the yearwith 213students. Growth is expected to continuewith new subdivisions in the area for

four hectare lifestyle blocks andfamilies working forNgai Tahu’sEyrewell farms.She says the school is still waiting for

a promised new classroom, but ishopeful two new classroomswill be builton to two existing classrooms, using theMLE style, early in the new year.‘‘It’s really positive and it’s quite

exciting times ahead for our school.’’Acting principal KateMcClelland says

Swannanoa School is set to finish theyear at a record 272 students andmoregrowth is anticipated over the next fewyears, with a newMandevilleNorth subdivision recently signed off by theWaimakariri District Council.She says discussions are still ongoing

with theMinistry of Education for a newclassroom tomeet roll growth demands.With principal FraserHill set to

return to the school onMonday,December 1,MsMcClelland says herhighlights have been the continued rollgrowth, the annual SwannanoaFair inMarch and the success of the students invarious sporting events and the schoolproduction.Ashley School principal CraigMullen

says his school will end the yearwith 185

students, about the same as last year.‘‘But we are getting some growth in

the new entrance and junior parts ofthe school, so the long termpromises tosee some growth, which is in linewiththewholeNorth Canterbury region.’’MrMullen says theMinistry of

Education is preparing to upgrade theschool’s ‘‘antiquated sewage system’’,but he anticipates any new classroomswill be at least two years away.Clarkville School principal Penny

Abbie says with no new subdivisions inher school’s zone, the school roll isstable at 226 students, which is upslightly since the earthquakes.At Cust, principal Robert Schuyt says

his school roll is steady at around 152students, up from 145 last year. He saysthere are prospects for growthwithnew familiesmoving into the area.‘‘We are fairly stable. It all depends

on howmany year 8s leave at the end ofthe year, butmost years we end theyearwith around 140 to 150 students.‘‘It used to bemore families with

older childrenmoving on to lifestyleblocks, but nowwe are seeingmorefamilies with younger children, sothere’s a noticeable shift.’’

Lifestyle and recreationBy KIT CARSON

A new lifestyle developmentincorporating a cricket oval and soccerfield is coming to Amberley, with titlesexpected to be available about themiddle of next year.Tekoa Estate is a 19.3 hectare sub

division with 59 lots of between 1800squaremetres and 2700 squaremetres,priced from $165,000, bounded byAmberley Beach andDouble CornerRoads.Central to it will be a 3.7 hectare

reserve owned by theHurunui DistrictCouncil and featuring a cricket oval of asimilar size toMainpower Oval inRangiora, plus a fullsized soccer pitchor two junior pitches.North Canterbury developer Ross

Moffatt, a director of LMM Investments,say he believes the creation of a reservewithin the development on the eastern

side of Amberley will appeal tomanypotential property owners, as will thelarge sections.MrMoffatt has a business background

and has previously been involved insmaller North Canterbury rural subdivisions.‘‘There has been a trend towards

smaller lots, andwe feel Tekoa Estatewill appeal to the likes of farmerslooking to retirement and couples withgrowing families.He hopes to have consents in place

before Christmas, start the earthworkslate January or early February andtitles available by June.‘‘The council andmyself have worked

together to put this in place and there’snothing we can see at this stage that willbe a show stopper.’’He says sections of the size being

offered are not readily available inKaiapoi or Rangiora.

‘‘Amberley really has it all whileretaining its rural feeling.‘‘This offers a great lifestyle option

with good retail shopping nearby and isclose to all support services.‘‘Add to this wineries, and cafes

popping up all over the show, rivers,beaches, parks, walkways and golfcourse, you’ve really got it all.’’There will covenants in place to

protect the quality of the subdivisionand tomaintain that quality over time.‘‘Primarily wewill looking at housing

and landscaping of the higheststandard.‘‘But in saying that there will be a

place for the shed as long as it is inkeeping with the style of the house.‘‘What wewant is to ensure this is a

quality development.’’All sections will be sold fully serviced

and internally fenced and there will beintegrated common areas throughout.

First stage of RangioraHealth Hub completed

Early days . . . Stage One, the foundation and inground services work, of the Rangiora Health Hub has been completed.PHOTO: SHELLEY CALDWELLTOPP.

By SHELLEY CALDWELLTOPP

Stage one of the $6.9millionRangioraHealthHubhas been completed on timeandonbudget.CanterburyDistrictHealthBoard

(CDHB) generalmanager of planning andfundingCarolynGullery said thehubwasbeing constructed in three stages,whichwasunusual for projects of this size.Stage one, the foundation and in

ground serviceswork,was completed byHawkinsConstruction at the endof lastweek.Stage two, the ‘‘above slab to completed

buildingwork’’ is planned for completionaround themiddle of 2015with thedateconfirmedonce the contractor has beenselectedwhichwould be soon, saysMsGullery.The final stage involves ‘‘relocation of

part of theHagleyOutpatients’’ buildingfromChristchurch.’The relocated buildingwill be

reinstated on site atRangiora andincluded in thehub facility.However, there is no completiondate

for this part of theproject yet.TheHagleyOutpatients’ buildingwas

intended to be a temporary facility.It was designed to copewith problems

facing theCanterbury health system in

Christchurch after the 2010 and 2011earthquakes.Built in twoparts on the formerHagley

HostelNurses’Home site, next toChristchurchHospital inRiccartonAvenue, itwas designed so it could bemoved to another site depending onfuture requirements.Thenewhealth hub is being built next

door to theRangioraHospital at 161Ashley Street, but so far any disruptionhas beenkept to aminimum.‘‘Asweare effectively a ‘green field’

build, there is very little impact on thecurrent operation ofRangioraHospital,’’MsGullery said.Government approval for thehealth

hub, onwhichbuilding began inAugustlast year, came in 2011with planning andconsultationwork on theprojectbeginning late that year.Thedecision cameaftermonths of

intense lobbying byRangiora’s PaulaThackwell andHelenHirst for a 24hourhealthservice facility to be built next totheRangiora hospital.When finished, the single storey, 16bed

facilitywill have anoutpatients’ clinic forNorthCanterbury andwill provide amaternity unitwith primary birthingfacilities, specialist outpatient care,public health nurses,mental health

services, community services, and aStJohnafterhours paramedic.Newly electedNationalMP for

Waimakariri,MattDoocey,whohas aMastersDegree inHealthcareManagement, andhasworked in thehealthcare industry, has a special interestin theRangioraHealthHubproject.‘‘It was important forme tomeetwith

CanterburyDistrictHealthBoard (CDHB)chief executiveDavidMeates early afterbeing elected.‘‘Thehealth hubwill always be a keen

focus ofmine.‘‘Withmybackground in community

health, I amvery focused onworkingwiththe community for thewellbeing ofWaimakariri.‘‘I was really impressedwith theplan,

design and 3Danimation of thehealthhubandam looking forward to theopening of the first stage early next year.‘‘I have been talking to people andone

of the issues that has comeup is aroundtheneed for social care and communityprovision in thehealth hub.‘‘I amvery keen to talk to community

services in the area about howwecanusetheRangioraHospital for their needs as acommunity services hub.‘‘If there is enoughneed, I’ll be taking

this upwithMrMeates.’’

Common questions aboutskin cancer prevention

Amongst the topics we are asked about at The Dermoscopy Centre are questions about sunbeds, sunscreens andvitamin D. The advice we give on these subjects is taken from research being undertaken around the world.SunbedsRecent studies provide evidence linking indoor tanning bed use to melanoma and reinforce the declaration by theInternational Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organisation, that indoor tanningdevices are carcinogenic to humans. In fact, they are classified as being of Group 1, the same classification as isgiven to tobacco.Many nations around the world, including New Zealand (Auckland) Australia, Canada, France, Spain, Belgium,Germany, Portugal and Brazil are at varying stages of restricting the use of sunbeds.SunscreensSunscreen continues to be one of the safest and most effective sun protection methods available.Consumers should be assured that sunscreen products are safe and effective when used as directed, and shouldbe considered a vital part of a comprehensive sun protection program.A new publication – Sun, Skin and Health – written on the back of extensive experience by many of Australia’sleading skin cancer clinicians – confirms that the slip, slop and slap message, is effective.Between 2000 and 2011, in Australia• There has been a 2% reduction in skin cancer treatments in the 25 - 34 year olds; and• A 1% reduction in the 35 - 44 year old group; but• For people over 50, a 6% INCREASE in skin cancers requiring treatmentThe over 50's, are of course, the age group that were in their youth before the sunsmart messaging was initiatedand are most likely to have used coconut oil and actively sought a tan.As part of the Cancer Society of New Zealand's Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap message, the recommendation is toapply a good cupped palm full of broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, of at least SPF 30+, twenty minutes beforegoing outside and then repeated every two hours.Vitamin DThe Cancer Society of New Zealand and the Ministry of Health published a consensus statement in 2012 thatadvises that for the significant majority, normal activity, accompanied by appropriate sunsmart behaviours, wouldprovide an appropriate level of vitamin D, and no additional consideration is warranted.There are a few groups for which this may not be the case, for example, those with very dark skin originating fromAfrica, the Middle East or India, those who are on medications that are photosensitizing or affect vitamin D, andthose who are housebound.Dr. Julia Racle has been continuously engaged in General Practice since 1995, and has been working in North Canterbury forover ten years.

She has been developing her special interest in skin cancer medicine over the last few years. She initially undertook a rangeof short courses pertaining to skin cancer medicine, especially in the field of Dermoscopy, then in 2011, completed the SkinCancer College of Australasia (SCCA) Postgraduate Diploma in Dermoscopy that was awarded with Distinction. Julia hassince completed the Postgraduate Diploma in Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery

Last year she opened The Dermoscopy Centre, North Canterbury's only clinic dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis andtreatment of skin cancers. 1506745

Amberley sewerupgrade expensiveBy KIT CARSON

Revised costs could see theHurunuiDistrict Council facedwith a huge billshould it decide to go aheadwith anAmberley sewer upgrade.Original estimates in 2007 involving

three pipe upgrades and 100 percentfunded by development contributionswere put at just under $718,000.Revised upgrade cost estimates

involvingmore extensiveworks, andrevealed at thismonth’s AmberleyWard committee, come in at $4,127,739,with a questionmark overdevelopment contributions.Roading andutilitiesmanagerDavid

Edgewas reluctant to comment, sayingthe report prepared for thewardcommitteewas effectively a discussiondocument.He said he andhis staff were

working closelywith amenities andspecial projectsmanagerBruceYatesand chief financial officer JasonBeckto refine a consultation document forconsideration at a long termplanmeeting early nextmonth.The original report, prepared by

utilities team leaderBrett Beer andsigned off byMrEdge, saiddevelopment of stage two of theAmberleyBusiness Parkwould beginnext January.A sewer runs through the

development thatwill need to beupgraded soon.‘‘It would be financially prudent to

upgrade the sewer at the same time asthe new road is constructed to savewasteful expenditure by excavating ina new road to replace the existing

sewer,’MrBeer said.The sewer upgrade, to be 100

percent funded by developmentcontributions at a cost of $243,678,was programmed to be installed inthe 2017/18 financial year.If it went ahead as proposed,it

would be an overexpenditure in theAmberley sewer budget account.Preliminary designwork had beencompleted and a cost of $420,000 hadbeen calculated to upgrade thesection through the business park,connecting into the new sewer atBrackenfields.Negotiationswere underwaywith

Brackenfields on the alignment of theproposed new sewer through itsproperty.MrBeer said the revised cost of

$420,000 reflected the huge priceincreases since the earthquakes andstart of reconstructionwork inChristchurch.The original pricewas to bemet 100

percent by developmentcontributions, and there had been noallowancemade in the present budgetfor the project. The increasewouldhave to bemet either by increasingthe development contributions orfrom the sewer account,MrBeer said.On top of the upgrade through the

business park, work is proposed onthemain line south of AmberleyBeachRoad, a pipe upgrade alongAmberleyBeachRoad, a newmain onthe eastern side of the reticulationnetwork to allow for residentialdevelopment and anupgrade of asection of sewermain aboveHursleyTerrace.

Dilution the solution?A ‘‘dilution solution’’ is seenas themosteffectiveway toaddresswater qualityissues facedbymanyAmberley residentsformore thanayear.HurunuiDistrictCouncil roadingand

utilitiesmanagerDavidEdgehasconfirmedand thatplansare inplace toincreaseoutput from theupgradedStateHighway1well and takewater from thenewLeithfieldBeachoutlet.Thiswouldeffectively limit theneed to

use theKowaiRiverRoad supply,whichhas ahigh iron content, towhendemandwashigh.MrEdgenoted, however, that iron levels

for theKowai supplyhaddroppedmarkedly in recentmonths.Monitoringwould continue.Thequestion remained, he said,

whether a large sumofmoney shouldbespent to resolve anuisanceproblem thatmight not appearagain.Waterhardness issues also appeared to

arisewhen theKowaiwellwasbeingpumpedas a supplementary supply.MrEdgehas suggested the connectionof

theAmberley townshipandAshley ruralwater supply shouldbeprogressedandthat this couldbeachievedwithin theoriginal $700, 000budgeted to target theissue.Looking forward, greater storage

capacitywouldalsohelp reduceproblems.TheAmberleyWardCommitteehas

agreed that partial solutions aredistractingandonlyprojects that providean improvement towater quality shouldbepursued.It understands that this approachcould

mean theremaybeanothermonthofpotential nuisance complaints, this beingtheprice topay for abetter longtermsolution.MrEdge says an increased supply from

theRacecourseRoadwell over summershouldhelp.It is envisaged further improvement

will comewitha greater supply fromLeithfield, expectedby Junenext year.Increasedpumping capacity at thenew

StateHighway1 intake shouldalsohelp.

Team approachTheHurunuiDistrictCouncil is urging itsresidents tohelp institute a teamapproachto coveringutilities in thedistrict toensure the continuity of services.Itwantspeoplewithproblems, suchas

nowater, to contact the council 24hours aday, sevendays aweek toensure theproblem is loggedanddealtwith.Aspokesperson says often residents,whoknow their local utilities officer’scellphone,will ring themwith aproblem,leaveamessageandexpect theproblem tobe fixed.However, if theofficer is ondays off or

leave, theproblemremains fordays.Wherepractical therewill be two

officersworking together to improve thespeedof fixingproblemsand thehealthand safety outcomes.Aspart of thenewteamapproach the council is runninganoncall service for afterhoursemergencies. Thecentralised call systemmeans ‘bigpicture’ trendsaremapped,ensuring themost appropriate resourcescanbedirected toproblems, savingratepayers timeandmoneyand resultingin fewer issues long term.To logproblemscall (03) 314 8816.

Parents urged not tobuy xmas gifts in haste

Think carefully . . . Parents buyingmotorcycles, quad bikes or a pony as a giftare urged to ensure it is the right fit for therider. FILE PHOTO.

Think carefully before buying amotorcycle or pony for children.With Christmas and summer holidays

fast approaching, some parentsmay bethinking amotorcycle, quad bike or apony as a gift idea for their children. ButtheWaimakariri District Council andInjury PreventionWaimakariri areurging parents to think carefully beforebuying, and to ensure the bike or horseis the right fit for the rider.‘‘Motorbikes, quad bikes and ponies

are popular gifts for children aroundChristmas time andwhile the intentionis good, sometimes in the haste leadingup to the big day, things such assuitability of the bike for the rider andsafety gear go out thewindow,’’ says thecouncil’s rural safety coordinator,KerryMiles.‘‘Always remember towear the proper

gearwhile riding and check that the ccrating and size of the bike is suitable foryour child. It is vital to wear helmetswhen riding, even for small children,and reduces the risk of severe braininjury by asmuch as 74 percent.‘‘Before buying a bike or pony, assess

the rider’s skills. There are skillscourses and information available tohelp your child ride safely, and to get themost out of their bike or pony.Wewantit to be fun and safe for everyone andweare only too happy to help,’’ MrMilessays.A key area of concern for council is

that in a recent primary school survey, ofthe 2456 surveyed, 946 children hadridden a full sized quad bike, which arefor adults 16 years and older.‘‘A quad bike can be up to ten times

heavier than a child, andwe are seeingfar toomany quad bike accidents.Children don’t have the strength andsize to enable them to control themachine,’’ MrMiles says.The council’s rural safety team

encourages adults to consider a fewquestions before jumping into apurchase for their familymember:* Does the young rider have the

physical development and strengthrequired to handle anATV ormotorcycle?* Is your child ready for a pony?Which

is the right pony for your child and dothey understand the time and

commitment involved?Injury PreventionWaimakariri has

useful readiness checklists and factsheets available to help guide youwhenit comes to buying anATV,motorcycle orpony.

Kaiapoi Borough School children had amix of the old and the newunveiled intheir playground onMonday.While principalMurray Overtonwas

unveiling a new $40,000 playground onMonday, parent KarinaHendrywasdisplaying a new initiative usingrecycled and reusedmaterials, includingold tyres, which are stored in a largecontainer.‘‘Children have said tome theywere

bored at lunch time as they are not reallyinto sport,’’ saysMrsHendry, a PTAmember.‘‘Sowe had a look on the internet and

we found this website from theUnitedKingdom,where theywere usingrecycled and reusedmaterial to playwith stuff they canmanipulate and usetheir imaginations. And then they justcome and chuck it back in at the end oflunch time.’’MrsHendry says they are looking for

more donations of items, including oldsteeringwheels, pots and pans, highheels, old clothes for dressing up, oldphones and old pipes. The new initiativeallows children to play like they used to,before computers and iPads.For themore adventurous, a new

climbing playground facility wasofficially unveiled onMondaywith ablessing from local KaumatuaRev JamesRobinson.MrOverton says the newfacility is the result of two yearsfundraising.‘‘When I first came here at the start of

the year, we probably still had $30,000 toraise, so I thought: ‘a newplayground?Maybe next year or the year after’.‘‘But it’s amazing howwe’ve all pulled

together and got it completed thisquickly. These are the kind of results youget when a lot of people get together anddo the hardwork.’’

Canterbury and theRangioraCommunity Board have joined forcesto organise ‘‘OrientationRangiora’’ atSouthbrook Park on Sunday,November 30, from 10am to 2pm.LocalNeighbourhood Support co

ordinator Caroline Faass says the dayis an opportunity for the town’sgrowing number of new families to findout what is going on in their newneighbourhood.‘‘We felt that there’s a lot for people

to do in the area, but it’s not all in oneplace and it’s hard for people to get toknowwhat’s on offer.’’The event has beenmade possible

thanks to Summer of Fund earthquake

funding.MsFaass says all of theRangiora

based organisations on theWaimakariri District Council’scommunity directorywere invited,with 26 groups so far confirmed to runa stall on the day.Therewill also be bouncy castles, a

sausage sizzle, a lolly scramble and tea,coffee and scones, and all for free.TheNorth Canterbury Sport and

HERES THE FACTS – Stated by Richard Freeman, Director Onyx Homes LtdDon’t believe everything you hear in the media and some building companies trying to margin enhance making ridiculous

statements about huge building price increases.If you want genuine best pricing and top quality give Onyx Homes a call. You are guaranteed to talk to LOCAL industry

professionals with years of experience rather than a sales person trained over night drafted into the industry with limitedknowledge and zero idea on building costs working off a pre prepared song sheet. A sad but true statement in many cases.Honesty, integrity, experience and common sense always outweighs “smoke and mirrors” and unfortunately common sense

is not that common in many cases. Building commodity prices ARE stable, and I will personally guarantee that.

Oxford marks 200 years of gospel in NZ

Jane Austen era . . . People are encouraged to dress in Georgian costume (or the JaneAusten era) or Victorian costume at an event in Oxford on Saturday tomark 200 yearsof Christianity in New Zealand. FILE PHOTO

By DAVID HILL

Oxford is set to celebrate 200 years ofChristianity in New Zealand.The OxfordCust Anglican Parish is

hosting ‘‘an old fashioned parish fair’’on Saturday from 10am to 4pm to mark200 years since the first Christianservice was preached in New Zealandby Rev Samuel Marsden in the Bay ofIslands on Christmas Day 1814.Organiser Beryl Crisp says the

parish fair, which will be held at StAndrew’s Church, at 12 Church Street,Oxford, from 10am to 4pm, isopportunity for people to dress up inperiod costume, shop at some localstalls, play oldfashioned games andbe entertained.‘‘We decided to encourage people to

dress up in old fashioned costume andfor the whole event to have the themeof ‘back in time’.’’While 1814 was actually in the

Georgian era and in the time of theEnglish novelist Jane Austen, MsCrisp suspects most people will wearVictorian costumes as they are easierto come by.Members of the public are

encouraged to come along in periodcostume, with a prize being offeredfor the best dressed.In the spirit of the times,

ploughman’s lunches and 1814afternoon teas will be served, withvolunteers waiting on tables.‘‘We have looked up what sort of

food they would have served back in1814 and they had a lot of pastries, butthey didn’t have muffins or that sort ofthing.’’Entertainment will be provided by a

St Andrew’s Church parishionersinging some late1700s songs, theOxford Area School kapa haka will

perform, the Smith family will singand children’s writer Gina Taggartwill read a story and give the childrenan activity.Oxford resident Ken Fletcher will

also be dressing up as a town crier.A special children’s patch is also

being prepared with old fashioned

toys, including hobby horses, rockinghorses and hoops, Ms Crisp says.‘‘That’s what the children did in

those days. They didn’t play withvideo games back then.’’A special combined church service

will also be held on Sunday from10.30am at St Andrew’s Church to

mark the Gospel Bicentenary, withChristchurch Anglican priest theVenerable John Day playing the roleof Rev Samuel Marsden.Ms Crisp says it will be an old style

service, with ‘‘a rough looking pulpit’’,like the one the Maori made forMarsden in 1814, having beenespecially made for the occasion.The first Christian missionaries, led

by New SouthWales Anglicanchaplain Marsden, came to NewZealand in 1814 at the invitation ofBay of Islands Maori, who wanted tolearn about the European way of life.Historian Peter Lineham says the

gospel bicentenary is a significantanniversary in New Zealand’s history,as it marks the first positiverelationships betweenMaori andPakeha.‘‘The 200th anniversary is really

interesting, because it takes the focusoff the Treaty of Waitangi andmakespeople think of the variety of earlysettlers.’’The earliest settlers included

whalers, sealers and others whointermarried and lived with localMaori, as well as missionaries.‘‘The missionaries gradually

became quite a distinctive groupbecause they believed they hadsomething to give Maori for free,which was of benefit to them. This wasin contrast to other settlers who werelargely out for themselves.’’Professor Lineham says historians

have been doing a lot of thinkingabout what the bicentenary means,with views ranging from thetraditional Christian mission storyemphasising the success of themissionaries, to looking at the eventsfrom aMaori perspective and asecular retelling of the story, whichlargely ignores the religious aspect.

Hawarden pig farmerswin South Island awardBy AMANDA BOWES

Top of the class . . . Steve and Holly Sterne have come out on topwith their pig farm,Patoa. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Farming father and daughter duo, SteveandHolly Sterne, have taken out theSouth IslandFarmer of theYear in theLincolnUniversity Foundationcompetition.Their prize, a $20,000 travel grant for

overseas business study, was awarded forthe Sterne’s large scale pig breeding andfinishing unit nearHawarden.Originally amerino sheep farm, Steve

Sterne, alongwith his then coownerYensRavn, transformed the landscapeover time into a high tech, sustainableoutdoor sow breeding enterprise,starting from just a few breeding sows,which has now grown to 5000.Steve, alongwith his wife Josie and

daughterHolly, now farmPatoa, as Yensand his wife Anne sold their share andhave gone sheep and beef farming.In a very close competition, inwhich

the judges deliberated over for a longtime, Patoa ultimately came awaywiththe top prize.‘‘It was quite a surprisewe did sowell

as it is a bit unusual to have a pig farmrecognised in this way. It’s not in thetraditional vein of farms in thecompetition,’’ says Steve.Aswell as winning themain prize, the

Sternes alsowon theBNZAward forresourcemanagement and theFarmlands Cooperative Prize for

resource use efficiency.With a staff of over 40 and about 115,000

pigs sent to theworks each year, theSternes have proved it is possible to farmpigs on a large scale outdoors, withoutthe use of crates or enclosed sheds.EvenwhenPatoa pigs areweaned and

fattened, they are in open ended barnsand able to exhibit normal behaviour.Steve says years of hardwork bymanypeople staff, other companies, theirformer coowners and others havecontributed to bring the farmup to levelit is now.Patoa supplies about 15 percent ofNew

Zealand’s pork and their free rangeproducts have gained popularity asconsumers become increasingly aware ofhow andwhere their food is grown.Another farming enterprise near

Hawarden, ZinoHoldings, was awardedthe Silver FernFarms Plate to Pastureaward and Steve says this is a great boostfor the local rural community.‘‘To have two farms in theHawarden

district recognised in such a high qualitycompetition is great for the area and tohave a pig farmwin, gives a positivemessage for outdoor pork production,’’says Steve.While undecided how their travel

moneywill be used, Steve says he isinterested in learningmore aboutelectronic sow feeders and going to someof themajor pig fairs overseas.

SilkyDrawers and Serena PopTart,talent show judges and a fairy godfathercalledFrank, thewicked stepmother’sdevious plans are scuppered and truelovewins the day.PaulMunnerley, fromHurunui

had portly figures, this Dame is dressedto seduce and sway one of the judges,

played by local GPRichardMcCubbin.The flirtation between the two actorsprovides some good laughs and lendsitself to the Cinderfella tale.The pantomimewill be held on

December 12 and 13 at theWaikariHall,from 7pm. Tickets can be purchased fromHawardenFour Square, HurunuiCollege office or by [email protected]. Therewon’t be door sales as seats are limited.
