Field days draws huge crowd  by Mike Isle photos by Robert Sutton

It’s one of the biggest events in Selwyn’s social, recreational and rural calendars and the year’s South Island Agricultural Field Days (SIAFD) lives up to all the hype as thousands flocked to the three-day event at Kirwee.

Organisers estimate that the event attracted a crowd of up to 30,000, and more than 380 exhibitors packed out the 35-hectare site from March 27 to 29. This event showcases products such as fencing, veterinary, chemicals or workshop tools in the agriculture and forestry industry. It gives farmers,

agricultural contractors and city folk the opportunity to see the latest in agricultural machinery and services that are available on the market, particularly home-grown products. Organising committee chairman Rodney Hadfield said the field days provide a huge opportunity for people in

the agricultural industry to network, meet customers and view new machinery. With its focus on presenting working machines, SIAFD reinforces the relationship between farmers, manufacturers, retailers and technical experts, Hadfield said.

NEWS briefs

Canterbury measles update The number of confirmed measles cases in Canterbury has risen to 39, including the airline passenger on the Virgin Australia flight from last week. This case is not linked to the original outbreak that is circulating in the Canterbury region. Canterbury Medical Officer of Health, Dr Ramon Pink said “Measles is incredibly infectious, and we can’t be complacent. The only way to prevent its spread is immunisation.” “We have enough vaccines to immunise those who need it most — people between 12 months and 28 years old who have never been immunised.” Over time the vaccine will be made available to other priority groups. Dr Pink said people born after 1969 who have never been immunised, or who have measles-like symptoms, should stay away from large events or gatherings. “Those who are susceptible to measles need to be aware that

it is circulating in our community. Unvaccinated people can easily catch measles if they are in close contact with infectious people, so staying away from large groups helps to protect yourself and others.” The symptoms of measles symptoms are a cough or runny nose or conjunctivitis, and a fever above 38.5C as well as a rash. Dr Pink said that anyone who believed they have been exposed to measles or have symptoms should call your general practice first, 24/7. Calls made to general practices after hours will be answered by a nurse who will advise you what to do and where to go if you need to be seen. 

 A total fire ban saw firefighters on high alert

The lifting of the restrictions means that open fires can be lit in Selwyn without a permit, for the first time since a restricted season went into effect on January 30. At its height, the fire risk was such that all open fires were prohibited from February 20 to March 12. The Record reported at the time that Emergency services have been on high alert for weeks. Forest fires in Nelson at the time highlighted the risk throughout the South Island. Selwyn had sent a stream of firefighters north to Nelson to

help but could have been recalled immediately if there was an outbreak here. Whilst the danger has primarily passed, Fire and Emergency New Zealand still recommend caution when lighting fires in the open. They say to keep a constant check on the weather and be well prepared with sufficient material on hand to douse the fire if needed. Fire permits are still required for all fires on public conservation land, except approved campground fires or a fire lit for cooking or warmth. 

Connecting children with sport  by Ann van Engelen

ConnectMe Kids has been created as a way of helping children to be able to become involved club team sports for winter and beyond, without the financial commitment of subs and uniforms.

 by Mike Isle

Nearly 1,200 year five and six students from throughout Canterbury participated in the Canterbury Duathlon held at, of all places, Ruapuna Raceway, last week.

 A hard-fought race — year six boys in action

West Melton School promotions and sports administrator Rita Spadoni said her school had 16 entrants. “We were extremely happy with our results, with all 16 in the top 50 and two of our year five students coming in with a top finish.” For Lewi, it was his first time doing the duathlon, and it was a good experience representing West Melton School. “[I] quite liked the biking as you got to bike around the Ruapuna track, which you normally don’t do. I was at the front

“This is something I have been considering for a long time and would like to find families and children that could benefit with ConnectMe Kids bridging the gap.

ADVERTORIAL

Art from the heart The Selwyn Arts Heart Exhibition is on again soon. Open for just one weekend at the Rolleston Community Centre on April 6 and 7 (see ad in this publication). That is the time to look at and perhaps purchase an artwork from a local artist to grace your home or as a thoughtful gift. Local crafts are included as well as photography and painting. Sixteen-year-old Hunter White is one young artist to watch for. He has a passion for capturing the world around him selecting interesting light and memorable angles for a variety of subjects, especially the natural world. Hunter has entered for several years as has 19-year-old Henry Turner who is entering for the eighth time. He has recently had work selected for the prestigious NZ Printmaking and Painting Award. The exhibition provides a chance for new talent to show work as well as giving an economical platform for experienced artists such as Mike Glover, who is an expert pastel artist. He has an affinity evident in his work that explores lands, skies and waters of the South Island especially our unique braided rivers. Each year the public is asked to vote on favourite work, and a real crowd pleaser is the work of Jennifer Stebbings. She has worked for 17 years as a graphic artist, and her skills are evident in the precision and accuracy of her subjects. Her works of rural scenes, landscapes,

buildings and animals always capture the intensity and emotion of a scene. She loves drama and definition and so tends to paint in high contrast and colour saturation which gives her traditional subjects a modern feel. A testament to her broad appeal is winning the People’s Choice Award three years running — the prize is donated by the Drawing Room. Five works of Jennifer’s are on sale this year; cows, Irishman’s Creek shed, dilapidated yet picturesque villas in Bluff, a snowy mountain pass and a still life.

SPOTLIGHT ON

WEST MELTON

Establishing a village West Melton, known as the village on the plains has more than 150 years of history since the area was first settled. Horses played a significant role in transport and agriculture and pulled carts for transporting people. Draught horses were used for pulling agricultural implements. A paddock would be ploughed, and seed was scattered by hand from a sack strapped to the workers’ shoulders. Then the ground would be harrowed to cover the seed. In 1880, Lincoln College was opened, and experiments were carried out to benefit the farming community helping to increase production in the area. In 1922 Kempthorne Prosser and Co opened their fertiliser works at Hornby and superphosphate was used with mixed success. It wasn’t until the pH of soil was raised through using lime that more fertility was achieved. In 1881 Alfred Saunders MP arrived in West Melton and purchased a farm that he referred to as a ‘bleak and wild looking property’. Now, the landscape of the area is vastly different with well-established properties including manicured lawns, and many plantings of trees and shrubs as the area has grown and matured. The area had two millennium projects for the year 2000 including a drinking fountain made of local Greywacke stone and granite to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, and a bas-relief sculpture of a horse.

Lessons from leviathans  by Andy Bryenton

When manufacturers like Ford Motor Company produce race winning machines like their Le Mans edition GT, we know that the lessons learned from pushing the envelope of speed and power are going to filter through into our more prosaic road cars. Innovations such as disc brakes, turbochargers and aerodynamics all come from the racetrack to the road and driveway. What about the world of tractors? These are not machines built for speed, but power. While the tractor pull contests beloved of field days and agricultural fairs are spectacular, they bear only a small resemblance to what farmers really want from their rolling stock. In the world of agriculture, the test-bed for engine efficiency, handling innovation and control comes from the giants of the open field, those machines, which regularly link up to implements able to harrow, seed or cultivate vast swathes at a single pass. Machines like the 60year lineage of Case IH’s Steiger series. A look at the numbers for the 600 series tells a tale of superlatives. From the sheer size (the exhaust stack is taller than a man, and the top point of the machine’s distinctive tracks sits at shoulder height or above) to the power of a 12.9 litre twin-turbocharged inline six, this is a tractor that towers over its smaller stablemates. It’s not brute strength alone, which makes the Steiger

600 impressive. Take that engine, for example. It’s tier two compliant without the use of any AdBlue or other active exhaust cleaning tech needed. A separate cooling system for each turbocharger delivers 30 per cent more power under load. These are innovations driven by the need to deliver what a recent test in Nebraska, USA, ruled the ‘most powerful tractor in the industry’. They also offer insights into making other Case IH tractors more efficient. Look at another aspect, those distinctive tracks with their five-axle design. They’re not just to make the Steiger look like an unstoppable tank; in fact, they are more gentle on the soil and

substrate, with multiple points of ground contact reducing compaction. Then there’s an industry-first high-horsepower CVT transmission, able to creep at one metre a minute or transit at 40km/h. Add in automatic fuel-saving technology, a fully suspended cab for operator comfort, and a host more features, and you can see why this flagship tractor points the way to innovations across the range like Mercedes-Benz’s S Class or VW’s Bugatti Chiron. Engineers excel when they are given a big task to complete, and the ideas they formulate benefit the entire brand. Lessons from 60 years of Steiger tractors make the whole Case IH lineup better; a case of the biggest bringing out the best. 

Razor-sharp single The Formula One racing season is off to a great start, delivering the usual rivalries, intense pursuits and lightning-fast pit stops for viewers worldwide. Moreover, it’s also serving up plenty of technical data and science to help refine the cars of tomorrow. It’s not just on the high-speed blacktop of the world’s road circuits that this kind of innovation comes to life, however. Polaris, well known for their off-road machines, have taken a look at F1 as well. The first thing they noticed is that you need to lose a seat. Well, we’re not really sure if the inspiration for the new, 110 horsepower, 999cc twin cylinder beast they call the RS1 came from watching big-winged road rockets lap Imola and Monaco. What is certain is that the feel of pure acceleration has been channelled into this slim-hipped, big-wheeled version of Polaris’ legendary RZR series competitive side by side. They’ve made it a single seat machine, paring away weight, adding a wide stance, centralising mass and adding fun factor. Part of this smile-inducing operation is to do with the wide 64-inch track in comparison to the slimmed down body, which gives the look of a classic dirt track midget car or a tiny Baja racer. Dual A-arms up front and trailing arm suspension in back help the body and that single fighter-pilot seat glide over rough terrain, as the power from the four-stroke, liquid cooled DOHC engine is delivered via an automatic box and auto on-demand all wheel drive. That means a predictable, plantable back

end and the added confidence of extra grip in the turns. Further confidence is inspired by the single-seat layout because, as we’ve seen on those F1 cars or even the McLaren of the same name, a central driving position is intuitive. You know exactly where the wheels are, in this case, you can see the front wheels through the chopped-out door frame panels, and place them on every apex, or for grip on every rock and boulder. Visibility out the back may not be as

grand, but with this kind of speed, what’s behind you is of little concern. By taking away a seat, Polaris has added fun and acknowledged that many riders are out there to enjoy pushing the envelope as a way to relax and unwind, alone but for the throttle and the sound of worries being obliterated in the slipstream. 

100 IT’S NOT A TARGET

Super-sized seven  by Andy Bryenton

Did you know that Holden, the renowned motor brand, began as a saddlery in the 1860s? James Holden was stitching leather in Adelaide before the car was even invented. Which means he was a man who’d appreciate just how comfortable modern vehicles have become. One, which bears his name really stands out as Holden enter a new era of global supply and reach, thanks to the power of parent company General Motors. The new seven-seater Acadia wears James’ monicker, but actually comes all the way from Tennessee. To use a phrase from that part of the world, the interior space of this technically advanced and comfortable seven-seat family cruiser is ‘as big as all outdoors’. Three rows of jet-black leather seats, the front two boasting heaters can be moved about for ease of access, and rest assured, the back row is not simply for show. You’ll also find all the electronic gadgets, which a family wagon demands, including the addition of wireless phone charging to free up a total of five USB ports for the kids’ tablets and games. Comfort is definitely the order of the day, which may seem counter-intuitive

 The all new seven-seater Holden Acadia

when talking about a machine from the United States heartland, where it wears the GMC badge alongside big, boisterous pickup trucks. Moreover, there’s a big difference between the Acadia and the other large SUV in Holden’s range, based on the Colorado. The 3.6 litre v6 from the ZB Commodore just fits with the Buick-derived ninespeed transmission and adaptive AWD system to provide confident and smooth power about town, no matter what the load. It is no jacked up, knobbly tyred mud-slinger, but a refined way to travel, which uses its all-wheel abilities to provide grip and inspire confidence while carrying a large family in quiet comfort.

That quiet is achieved with advanced noise cancelling technology, making the cabin an even more relaxing space away from the maddening traffic. Holden is confident that this new large SUV will impress those who would perhaps, in other times, have been wedded to the idea of a big Commodore wagon to carry the family to and from school and sports. It’s an indication of the new global focus and reach of the company that they are moving far beyond the formula of being ‘Australasia’s big four-door sedan brand’, taking the best that GM can offer and tuning it pitch perfect for what drivers demand today. 

Dining & ENTERTAINMENT Slow-cooked satisfaction The cold weather is a perfect excuse to tuck into some slow cooked, hearty winter fare. Get the drop on the season by putting together a slow-cooker twist on coq au vin that’s easy and feeds a family with big appetites. Ingredients 300g sliced bacon, diced 1kg of chicken pieces ½ cup dry white wine 500g button chopped Two coarsely chopped red onions

6 garlic cloves, chopped 3 sprigs fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon salt ¼ cup of water 3 carrots, chopped 2 tablespoons of cornflour

Method Place the bacon in an iron pan in the oven and grill for approximately five minutes until crisp. Place it in the slow cooker atop a pile of chopped onions and garlic. Pour off excess fat from the pan. Brown the chicken and over medium-high heat, seasoning with a little salt and a pinch of paprika. Then add it to the cooker. Pour the wine into the pan and give it a ‘swish’ with your spoon to loosen up any delicious crunchy bits. Now add this liquid to the slow cooker with your mushrooms and garlic.

Season with thyme and remaining salt. It will need six hours on a low heat to cook through and disperse the flavours evenly, covered in your slow cooker. After this time, separate the solid ingredients to a warmed bowl and place in the warming drawer of your oven. Thicken the sauce with a dash of cream or dollop of sour cream and a little corn flour. Gently heat until the sauce is thick, then stir in the veggies, chicken, mushrooms and bacon. Serve with mashed kumara or potato or some lovely roasted vegetables. 
