Construction kicks off at new Gladstone Park dog park Man’s best friend and their owners are in for a treat as construction of a new dog park in Gladstone Park kicks off. The WoodendAshley Community Board approved the Gladstone Park Master Plan back in April 2016, which identified a variety of different works to provide for its growing community. As well as extra sports fields, a larger playground and a new pathway it also included a dog park, catering for our large and small fourlegged friends. Work to complete the dog park will take between 6-8 weeks and it will be located at the eastern end of the reserve. There will be some heavy machinery in the area
and contractors ask that people keep clear while the work is taking place. The dog park will include a water fountain, bags, bins and a pathway for easy access to dog owners. A new pathway will be installed along the top of the embankment running roughly parallel with Hakatere Road. Pathways from Hakatere Road over to the dog park will also be constructed.
** NEW DOG FOOD** UNCLE ALBERS & GREAT BARKO 22KG Do you have trouble maintaining your dog’s body weight and condition? Have you been struggling to keep a healthy natural shine on his coat? “Introducing Uncle Alber’s and Great Barko”
Uncle Alber’s and Great Barko are nutritionally dense dog foods, rich in tasty real meat, cooked cereals, vitamins and minerals. Well balanced with the right levels of amino acids to aid in quicker absorption of all vital nutrients your best mate needs to live a long, active and healthy life!
ONLY $54.90 BAG
ONLY $52.90 BAG
You will notice that by volume both Uncle Alber’s and Great Barko are heavier than many dry dog foods, this is because during the manufacturing process the ingredients are compressed tightly together into crunchy bite size pieces. These crunchy pieces are beneficial in keeping your dog’s teeth and gums clean and healthy plus helping reducing decay and smelly breath! Uncle Albe’rs and Great Barko have been formulated to meet or exceed the nutritional specifications recommended by the National
Research Council, Academy of Sciences, U.S.A. By weight both Uncle Alber’s and Great Barko are higher in protein and contains considerably less water than either fresh meat or canned dog food and is balanced for other essential nutrients such as energy, fat, calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and trace minerals.
Like most dog owners, we want the best for your furry companions whether it’s a household pooch or a working dog we are all very likeminded. That’s why when it comes to nutrition people know and trust that what we offer in our store is the best quality to price ratio you will find. So if you’ve got a skinny, lacklustre working dog or just a lazy household pooch come down and see us, with two tasty flavours and nutritionally dense foods, we will have one that’s right for you!

Waste Management and Minimisation - the Next Steps Over 3,100 Waimakariri residents made a submission in the recent Waste Management and Minimisation consultation where the Waimakariri District Council sought feedback on how many choices should be offered to people for a kerbside collection. This was a record response for a Waimakariri District Council consultation, and represented a fantastic effort from the community. Based on the number of submissions received, it was obvious that many residents had strong views on the proposed options. Councillor Robbie Brine, Portfolio Holder for Solid Waste says, “The level of interest from the public was incredible and we are really pleased to see people taking the
time to respond and for sharing their views with us. This is a really important issue for the community.” The following shows the level of interest in the 3 options: Option A: One Standard Service Option B: Two service choices Option C: Four service choices
22% 14.9% 63.1%
From the submissions made, over 2,600 have been taken into account by Council as permitted under government legislation. The remainder either were late submissions, did not contain an option choice, were anonymous and so could not be counted, or were duplicate submissions. The Council now moves to the next stage of the process and will hear from those 35 individuals or organisations who requested to present their submissions to Council in person. The Hearing Panel considered the feedback received through the consultation process over two days late in August. The deliberations hearing will take place on Monday 4 September at 4.30pm in the Function Room at the Rangiora Town Hall. After considering all written and verbal submissions, the Hearing Panel will make recommendations to the full Council at its meeting in November. The kerbside collection service that the Council approves will be put into the final Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and the Council’s draft Long Term Plan. The Long Term Plan consultation is in 2018 and there will be another opportunity for people to make submissions about the proposed level of service during that process.

Our bus trip in August was up to Cheviot to visit “Harvest Glen”, a hazelnut farm. Paul & Lee were there to welcome us and Paul gave us an informative talk about the hazelnuts. The trees, 800 in all, were covered in catkins which produce the pollen that is spread by the wind. These trees started off as bushes, but, with good pruning have now become trees and so much easier to work with. The trees are 18 years old and were planted by the previous owners. Paul & Lee own 5.5 hectares and 2 of these are in trees. They harvest in April, waiting until the nuts fall. They are then blown into rows & sucked up by a special machine. These two people clean, sort and grade the nuts themselves which they store in onion bags to dry for about 2 months. They have a machine that cracks and sorts shell from nut. They sell the nuts in many different forms such as different flavoured roasted nuts, dukka, fudge and truffles. Sales are mostly done at the Amberley Market. A very tasty lunch at Twin Rivers finished a great day. Our mini-speaker’s working life was spent as a sailor beginning as a deckboy on the “Hinemoa”, when he learnt the basics. The “Waipori” was next as deckboy then ordinary seaman. Now he began splicing, steering, pointing, overhauling ship’s gear and standing watches at sea. There are different reasons ships are built, such as general cargo, containers, oil tankers, bulk and passengers. Ships carrying bulk wheat were trialed in Canada and were found to be dangerous as in rough seas the wheat moved and caused two ships to sink. This was solved by dividing the hold into four with verticle beams and placing in frames of wood to two thirds down and this worked well. He did the wheat run on the “Kawaroa”, then newsprint and paper pulp from Tauranga to Brisbane on “Waitaki”and later the coal run on “ Kaiapoi” from the Page 18 THE WOODPECKER SEPTEMBER 2017
West Coast. These could be very rough trips and the river bars were always a challenge. Other trips were taking personnel to Raoul Island and the Auckland Islands. A working life most enjoyed. Chris Knowles from Trade Aid was our main speaker. He began with some of his own history then told us of the beginnings of Trade Aid and it’s workings. After retirement he was asked to assist Trade Aid Importers Ltd.. Trade Aid began when a young couple Vi & Richard Cottrell went to Northern India to help Tibetan refugees. When they returned to NZ they imported some of the carpets the Tibetans wove. All were sold within 15 minutes. Trade Aid became an offer of a”hand up” not a “hand out”. It is almost 44 years old and has 30 retail shops selling items from 25 countries and over 800 volunteers. In 2002 it was decided to add the words“ fair trade” to coffee to help the term become more common place. This worked so well that in 2002 they imported 8,000 kilos of green coffee beans & by 2016 they imported 1300 tonnes. It was decided to make the term “fair trade” chocolate a common place term as well. They started by setting up a chocolate factory in Christchurch. Chris was made chair of the board of this new company, Sweet Justice Ltd. & made a trip to South America to meet the suppliers of the ingredients they were importing. He travelled to Peru, Dominican Republic and Paraguay. When he arrived back in ChCh he arranged for the loan to purchase the factory and equipment needed and this chocolate, 7 variants of 100gm bars, is now available in some N.W. Supermarkets, Pak’N Save and local organic stores such as Mediterranean Foods, Rangiora. This talk was so interesting and there is much I had to leave out.

Pegasus Community Centre Open Day Sunday 13 August saw the official opening of the new Pegasus Community Centre (PCC). The PCC is located in premises that were originally part of the General Store and more recently the Pegasus Pharmacy. The premises are owned by Todd Property Pegasus Town Ltd and the Council have taken a 3-year lease to enable Pegasus residents to have a community centre. The Council have a management agreement with the Pegasus Residents’ Group (PRG), which allows the PRG to manage the centre and its bookings. Income from hire charges goes to the PRG to use on additional equipment and supplies for the centre. A noticeboard located outside to promote PCC activities was the first such purchase.
Mayor David Ayers cuts the cake while PRG President, Ian Lennie and WSCB Chairperson, Shona Powell look on.
Although the centre has been in use since May, PRG decided to hold off on a public opening until signage was completed and the centre was fully fitted out. The open day was a real community event with the Pegasus Lions running a sausage sizzle, the Pegasus Woodend Women’s Institute running Devonshire Teas, the Pegasus residents group had an information table, Soul Diva sang and the huge cake was beautifully iced by local resident, Lavina Pockson. The Woodend-Sefton Community Board were also present and were kept busy all day answering residents’ questions on a range of issues including walk and cycleways, Pegasus Bay bylaw implementation and tree felling plans in the Coastal Park. Mayor David Ayers cut the cake and said a few words before the cake was cut up for all to share. Page 20
THE WOODPECKER SEPTEMBER 2017
Ronel Stephens and Helet Janse van Rensburg cut and dish the cake for those present.
The day was concluded with a presentation from Greg Byrnes, General Manager, Te Kohaka o Tuhaitara Trust. Greg spoke of the work the Trust does in the Coastal Park, including their work with local school children and the input of volunteers from Pegasus.

We have had a number of people (of various ages) being baptised at church this month, some as a result of attending Alpha during the 4.32 service. It is always a joy to see people committing to the next stage of their relationship with God. The home groups and Mainly Music are going well this term and will continue to run throughout September, before breaking for the next school holidays. By that time we will be well into Spring! The mornings of course are still quite cold, so the heat pumps will still be kept hard at work warming the church, ready for the 9.30 am (traditional service). The welcome though is as warm as ever, for both that and the 4.32 pm (contemporary service). Speaking of the 4.32 service, at Children’s Church they are having a crash course in the Old Testament stories. It is well worthwhile for young people to learn about them. Enjoy the first month of Spring and keep warm in the mornings!
