The pair have offered the library free hire of one of their 6m x 3m storage units for two years. Chris and Ayyam have also offered the use of one of their delivery trucks for toy deliveries. Rolleston Toy Library publicity and promotions officer, Michelle Sim said the offer was a real boost for the library and local parents. “What this means is that the toy library committee is taking the initiative online. Members will be able to browse the toy collection and submit orders via a website. Toys will be housed in the storage unit at Storage King, and orders will be delivered weekly to a central collection point in Rolleston,” she said. “The team are incredibly excited — it’s the single biggest breakthrough we’ve had yet. We are enormously grateful to Chris and Ayyam for giving us the break we’ve been hoping for and enabling us to forge ahead with an online toy library. In an age of online shopping, an online toy library shouldn’t be that much of a leap, yet there aren’t many precedents in New Zealand.” Sim said the Rolleston Toy Library Committee know of only one other that operates purely online. While the ultimate goal is still to open a fullfunctioning toy library, in the interim, an online version will mean that Rolleston families will have access to this fantastic service much sooner than would otherwise be possible. For Chris and Ayyam, supporting community initiatives, groups and organisations is a core part of their business philosophy.

“We have always had a communityminded approach to everything we do,” says Chris O’Brien, “whether it be using local businesses for purchases and services, hiring from the amazing talent pool we have right here in Selwyn, helping residents (current and future) with their moving and storage needs, or simply helping create communities that are positive to live, work and play in.” Michelle Sim said there is still a significant amount of work ahead for her hard-working committee before the new online toy library is open for business. “Toys and packaging need to be sourced, a website set up, labelling,

cataloguing completed, and a membership system established. Much of this, of course, requires funds, so the committee is continuing its fundraising efforts, including planning for a community market day in November. “However, with the impetus of the Storage King offer we’ll be tackling all this with renewed vigour, now that the biggest obstacle has been overcome,” she said.

The crew from the Christchurch Youth Council organised The Amazing Race, which was held this past weekend around Christchurch central and saw more than 200 people participate from across the region. “We had adults, teenagers, grandparents and children participating from across the district including Selwyn, Hurunui and Kaikoura. It was really encouraging for us,” says coorganiser Piper Pengelly. As part of the Christchurch Youth Council, Nick Smith and I planned the event as something fun for the community. Participants

were given three hours to follow a map with different stops, which involved orienteering as well. “The community spirit was alive and well, and it was also a fundraiser for the youth hub. We couldn’t have done it without our many sponsors and volunteers, and it was well worth all the hard work.” ¢

Primary schools compete Biodiversity gets funding u by Ann van Engelen

Canterbury Primary School year seven and eight students participated in an indoor sports tournament last week playing volleyball, basketball and badminton at the Zhu Badminton Centre in Wigram.

p Rolleston Blue was one of the teams at the Canterbury Primary School Year Seven and Eight Indoor Sports Tournament last week

“It was a great experience for the pupils, and Mr Zhu is very supportive of our schools and makes it possible for us to have access to his facilities,” says Primary Schools Sports director Lyn Miles. “We had the zone competitions prior, and there were approximately 30 schools participating on the day with the children keen to compete. The fact that they played for the whole day made it more meaningful for them. ” The overall winners for volleyball were Hillview Christian School winning A grade, and Halswell winning B grade. “Kaiapoi North won the girls’ basketball with Clearview winning the boys and there was a great turn out for

badminton with 15 teams playing. It was a good competition and so close that there were quite a few comebacks to find the winner. Emmanuel Christian school took top place. “A lot of good young talent is coming through our local schools. It encourages them to look at sport seriously in the future when they play at primary school age. The children referee themselves for badminton and volleyball and for basketball a secondary school student training to referee will umpire. “It is great to see younger students umpiring as well as it helps them to learn the rules themselves and gain confidence. It was a positive day all around.” ¢

Ten biodiversity projects in the Selwyn Te Waihora zone have received a financial boost with the Selwyn Waihora Water Zone Committee allocating $63,000 of Immediate Steps funding. Projects to which funding was allocated include restoration of hill country wetlands and enhancement of one of the main tributaries to Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. The projects will each receive between $2,000 and $12,800 of funding, with landowners and project partners contributing a further 30– 60 per cent, boosting overall value to an estimated $216,300. The five new and five existing projects are: Maffey’s Road stream restoration (third year of funding), Washpen Ford Restoration (third year), Windwistle bluffs (second year), Sanford mudfish habitat enhancement (second year), Waikirikiri springs protection (second year), Black Hills wetland restoration (first of two years’ funding), Washpen Road wetland enhancement, Harts Creek enhancement, Haldon Pastures Stream Enhancement, and Rockwood wetland protection (first of three years’ funding).

Zone committee co-chair Les Wanhalla said It was “inspiring” to hear Ben Richards from Rockwood in the high country talking at the July meeting about his ongoing commitment to biodiversity on his land, which has continued for generations. “Having made biodiversity protection and enhancement top priority when we wrote our Zone Implementation Programme a number of years ago, we have now delivered 127 projects since 2011 via the Immediate Steps programme,” he said. Selwyn Waihora Zone Delivery lead Johannes Welsch said the support of these projects was the outcome of “good relationships with landowners, supporting their native biodiversity enhancement efforts, protecting wetlands, and creating greater awareness of biodiversity in our community.”

Encountering the bison International dance experience u by Ann van Engelen

u by Ann van Engelen

Kayla Calder experienced seeing bison wandering through the woods at Yellowstone National Park as part of her international exchange through TeenAg to the United States with five other kiwi students.

Four girls from The Selwyn School of Dance are attending the Salzburg International Ballet Academy Summer Intensive in Austria.

“It was great to experience farming in other parts of the world,” said Kayla Calder. Yellowstone National Park is home to almost 5,000 bison and has 10,000 hydrothermal features. “I was surprised by how big bison are. They were everywhere, and one day we drove around a corner and had to slam on the brakes because there was a bison in the middle of the road. The animals are wild, but they are used to tourists and traffic.” The TeenAg members attended the 4-H Congress in Bozeman, Montana, which attracted 350 students. Kayla took part in a livestock judging workshop and visited a farm with several hundred alpacas. “I found that field trip really interesting. I haven’t had much to do with alpacas — I’m from a sheep and beef farm,” she said. “We watched the animals being shorn and learned about their fibre and how they are farmed.” Kayla also visited the renowned Montana cattle stud Thomas Herefords at Gold Creek. The stud was started in 1957 and began using artificial insemination in the 1970s to advance

One of their bulls was named supreme champion Hereford at a national stock show. I made a number of connections in Montana, and I would like to return to the state to work and grow my knowledge one day.” Kayla plans to study a Diploma in Agriculture at Lincoln University. ¢

Ella Body, Isabella Cosgrove, Mia Williams and Harriet Body have spent four weeks living, eating and breathing dance in Salzburg. “The girls attended daily classes in classical ballet, pointe, pas de deux, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop from an international faculty headed by Peter Breuer, the artistic director of the Salzburg Ballet,” says Selwyn School of Dance director, Emma Body. “The strict schedule culminated in four gala performances held in Salzburg, and they toured as a company to Munich in Germany.

Working metal has taken us from the simplest of iron arrowheads to the moon, and welding is one of the crucial skills involved in the metalsmith’s art. The very earliest welds were made by heating metal white-hot in a charcoal furnace then hammering them until they fused together. Today there are several advanced welding techniques that enable us to manufacture and repair everything from skyscrapers to cars and aeroplanes. The ‘father of welding’ is a contentious title. It may have been Humphry Davy, who first made an arc between carbon electrodes back in 1800. Then again, it might be said that another Davy, Edmund, who discovered acetylene gas, and the fact that it could combine

with oxygen to create the hottest flame then known to science. Things progressed swiftly during the Victorian age, as the demand for iron ships and locomotives grew with the rise of steam. Auguste De Meritens used an electric arc to weld plates of lead together in a famous experiment. His student, the Russian Nikolai Benardos, patented a method of arc welding with carbon rods. Countryman Nikolai Slavynov devised a technique using metal electrodes. Not to be outdone, American inventor CL Coffin developed shielded metal arc welding, a process still used today. The final leap, which has allowed us to maintain gigantic ships and oil rigs at sea, came in the 1930s, when another Russian, the metallurgist and scientist Konstantin Khrenov invented underwater hyperbaric welding in 1932. In the century between Edmund Davy and Khrenov, nearly every aspect of technology had gone from wood and leather to welded metal. Cars

replaced the horse and cart; aeroplanes took to the skies and ships went from sail and rope to propellers and metal hulls. It was, and is, all thanks to the masters of metal, both the inventors of these important tools and those who work with them in engineering, manufacturing and maintenance today. ¢

Masters of Metal From knights to satellites The history of metalworking is intrinsically entwined with the history of war and peace, as an arms race of better materials technology drove forward civilisation. It all started with the first blacksmiths in ancient times. It’s now thought by historians that stories about ‘magical swords’ like King Arthur’s Excalibur referred to weapons made of better steel, using better techniques. A primitive warrior with a sharp but brittle sword facing an opponent armed with better gear could find his weapon shattered to pieces, and in those credulous times, such feats looked like magic. However, the real magic was in metalworking itself, an art, which advanced as smiths learned new secrets in folding, tempering and strengthening their materials. Medieval Europe was the centre of a metalworking arms race. Places such as Toledo are still famous for the quality of the swords they produced in those distant times. Suits of armour, shields and weapons were the most valuable things a knight could own. The great jousting champion William Marshal made his fortune from selling the captured arms and armour of his rivals in his younger days and earned the title of Earl. While smiths strove to

make better steel for arms and arrows, their efforts also yielded improved ploughs, mills, ship’s chandlery and other advances. Significantly, they also learned to cast giant bells for cathedrals and churches. Gunpowder took this bell founding skill and turned it to make cannons. Europe’s forges vied for centuries to create better and better guns for tall ships and land warfare, leading to even greater peacetime applications of metalwork. By the time Newcomen and then Watt developed the steam engine, metallurgic science was sufficiently advanced to create everything from naval guns to the clockwork inside a pocket watch. Earlier attempts at steam power had resulted in exploded boilers. The rest, of course, is more recent histor y. Advances in materials technology are still made at the cutting edge for purposes of military defence and, increasingly, for the exploration of space. Each step taken to improve our knowledge of metals, alloys and

their uses has knock-on effects for areas like medicine, transport and communications. It’s all an unbroken

Terrace Station is home to a large variety of plants, trees and historic buildings

“Terrace Station was the home of Sir John Hall — runholder, politician and reformer, and his wife Rose, and is still lived in by their descendants. The Terrace Station Charitable Trust was established in 2002 to preserve and maintain the homestead and buildings for the benefit of the public. “The homestead planting started prior to 1860, and if you look up you will see massive hornbeam, Portuguese laurel, sycamores, horse chestnuts, and elms. Visitors can also find celery pine, medlar, gingko and judas trees. The garden has developed from a more formal Victorian garden to the informal country garden you see today.”

There are many significant old buildings with a rich history, which are gradually being renovated. “The Hutch is full of old farming and garden tools. It is a mystery what some were used for, and they have caused much lively debate. The Shepherd’s Stinky is furnished in an appropriate way to characterise how the shepherds actually lived. “Major restorations are happening on the Swaggers Hut, and the chimney has been rebuilt using old bricks, and there will be display panels inside to tell some of the stories. “The quiz table is a much loved regular feature of the spring open days

Carpets of Spring flowers make a spectacular show for visitors at the Terrace Station open days

and displays fascinating 19th-century domestic items for guests to mull over and discuss. “Children will be given printed suggestions for self-guided activities to keep them amused while the adults enjoy the garden. Visitors are welcome between 11am and 3pm and are encouraged to bring a picnic to enjoy on the lawns of the historic home. “A welcoming brazier will entice visitors to warm their fingers and toes if the weather is inclement and we have woodland plants for sale along with giveaways.

“The property is signposted from Hororata roundabout. “It is an amazing garden to volunteer at, and it is thanks to the family and volunteers that people are able to experience this piece of history. The carpet of snowdrops in August makes it a spectacular scene.” The garden visit is $5 entry, which goes to the Terrace Station Charitable Trust — children are free. Please leave dogs at home. No EFTPOS is available. For more information on tour options and pricing go to terracestation.org.nz. ¢

Environment Canterbury has hit back at Forest & Bird’s recent claim that the environmental watchdog has been ignoring calls from health and environmental NGOs to address nitrate concentrations. ECan says it has been prioritising action on this important challenge for many years. “We have long acknowledged the risk to ecological health and potentially also to human health — that excessive nitrate in our waterways can pose,” said deputy chair Peter Scott. “That is why we have not waited to take action. “Environment Canterbury’s role is to maintain water quality throughout the region, something we take very seriously,” Scott said. “We are addressing the nitrate challenge by imposing regulations on farming practices and nitrogen loss to water. This is done by setting nitrogen leaching limits on individual farms. “We have controls on land-use activities that could threaten water

quality. We have some of the strictest farming rules in the country. Farmers must operate within strict nitrogen leaching limits and adhere to industryagreed good management practices. “Higher-risk farming types must measure and manage nitrogen leaching via consent to farm. They must also have a farm environment plan, and their performance against this plan is graded by independent auditors. “It is the Ministry of Health’s role to undertake research and revise or set drinking water standards,” Peter Scott said. “We must always meet these standards, which we are doing and will continue to do in the future. We recently wrote to the Minister of Health asking that the government and officials prioritise efforts for more research and lead the community debate on nitrate in drinking water. We await the minister’s response.” ¢

Ancient art of the tagine u by Andy Bryenton

The ancient Moroccan Berber cooking method known as tagine brings to mind the smell of exotic spices and the taste of tender lamb mixed with slow-cooked vegetables. The iconic conical twopiece pot is easy to use and delivers an earthy, aromatic winter meal. With the rise of international cookery, it’s not hard to find one of these vessels for sale. The low base collects and concentrates the flavour, while the conical ‘hood’ condenses steam back into the dish to cook it all the way through for a tender result. To begin layer red onions sliced into rings across the base of the tagine. Add in crushed garlic to taste, then drizzle over ¼ cup of olive oil. Now the ‘bed’ is ready to receive a hearty helping of spiced meat. Arrange beef or lamb pieces, coarsely chopped, in a ‘cone’ in the middle of the tagine. Chops on the bone can be used, arranged bone-side down to avoid scorching the meat. Season with Moroccan spices, either store-bought or a blend of salt, pepper, ginger, paprika, cumin, turmeric, saffron and a little cayenne pepper. Keep some aside for the veggies — layer an outer ‘cone’ of carrots, celery, capsicum and even potato or kumara. Garnish the very top with olives, lemon slices, coriander sprigs or (for lamb) a little rosemary. Now you’re ready to cook. Add two cups of water or stock

for a large tagine as described, and place over very low heat to very slowly bring to a simmer and keep it there. Note that the clay tagine pot should not touch the heat source; use a diffuse over electric elements. A beef tagine will take approximately three hours, four for lamb, checking

and topping up the liquid level at the two-hour mark. The results will fill your kitchen with a delicious scent well before the tender, spicy finished dish is unveiled for all to enjoy. ¢
