Selwyn television online u by Kent Caddick

… continued from front page

Rolleston volunteer recognised

To give recognition to those in the community who give so much but are often little acknowledged, is one of the driving principles behind the district’s newest online television channel, Selwyn TV.

p Chris and Pamela Allan, with their children, from left, Rachel, Rebecca and Joshua Photo supplied by NZDF

p Wilton and Merryn Atkins hopes Selwyn TV will help to foster and maintain community spirit in one of the fastest growing areas of the country

The forces behind the new venture are Merryn and Wilton Atkins, who, along with the newborn baby boy, are set to move into their new home in Rolleston during the winter. Wilton, who travels around the Selwyn district on a regular basis as part of his job with PGG Wrightson Real Estate, said Selwyn TV is an online community television channel. “Selwyn TV provides short interviews to promote local people, local events and some local news,” he said. “We will not just be showcasing people who are already in the spotlight, but also people who are quietly doing great things for little or no recognition.”

Wilton said the interviews are kept short to enable them to appeal to social media. “Research shows that someone online will not always engage with a 12-minute video clip, but is more likely to if the clip is around three minutes.” Wilton said they hope Selwyn TV will also help to foster a community spirit. “We are not saying that the community spirit is not there but when an area grows as fast as Selwyn, with more and more people arriving all the time, it can get lost a little and harder to maintain.” Selwyn TV can be found on Facebook at facebook.com/SelwynTV or online at selwyntv.co.nz. ¢

“The programme aims to connect with these youth, empowering them to establish a life vision, set goals and then supporting them to facilitate the necessary changes to allow the young person to achieve their vision. “Ultimately we want the young person to take their place, add value and contribute to New Zealand society.” Recently 23 of his mentees were awarded with their silver Duke of Edinburgh awards and 10 were presented gold awards by GovernorGeneral Dame Patsy Reddy. During the past four years, the Allan family has travelled to Vanuatu to

help villagers with setting up donated computers, painting schools and developing a library. Major Allan said he believes we all have a social responsibility to help all people, regardless of their ability to pay it back or their personal location. “My reward is to see young people speak with confidence and gain the Duke of Edinburgh awards or to see the smiles of young Ni-Vanuatu speaking their first word of English or pumping their first bucket of water out of a new well,” he said. As the NZDF Volunteer of the Year, Major Allan is also nominated for the NZDF Person of the Year Award. ¢

The Lincoln staff have had more than 500 donated, from other university staff and members of the community, to send to women in the Pacific Islands. They are shown on their way to deliver them to the project coordinator in Christchurch.

The events were set up under Selwyn’s Newcomers and Migrants Strategy adopted by the district council. Council’s community resilience coordinator Jason Flewellen said it’s a chance for people to gather in a local park, connect and make new friends, while enjoying some music, games and a free sausage sizzle. “This is the second summer Meet Your Street has run in Selwyn and the visits are one of the activities being undertaken to support a Newcomers and Migrants Strategy council adopted in 2015. “Local Meet Your Street events are a fun way for the council to encourage new residents to feel part of their community, and help people settle into a new life in Selwyn. “It also helps create safer communities where people know their neighbours,” Mr Flewellen said.

West Melton school growing

u by Kent Caddick

It’s been a busy start to the year for West Melton School students. For the start of the new school year the school welcomed in 39 new students, ranging from new entrants to Year 8, and a new teacher, Aaron Taylor. The school held a mihi whakatau (formal welcome) to welcome all the new students and their families while the school’s kapa haka group performed for the gathered crowd. The school’s new two storey teaching and administration block is now being utilised for the first time, with an official opening for the new building set down for March. The school’s promotion officer Rita Spadoni said the new building has

opened for learning use with a new administration office downstairs. The school also recently held its annual Community Fun Day, which was organised and run by the school’s intermediate students. “This was a great way to start the new school year, enabling our new students to have fun and make those important friendships,” Ms Spadoni said. “There were many activities for all our learners to participate in, including the ever popular bouncy castle, dress up races, obstacle course on the playground or cooling off in the pool. “With a picnic lunch with their families, a fabulous day was had by all.” ¢

Student voice grows Lincoln University Students’ Association president Danyon Thomas is welcoming a senior management decision, which he says will boost the student voice on the campus of Selwyn’s largest tertiary institution. The university’s vice-chancellor Professor Robin Pollard recently signed a five-year service level agreement with the Lincoln University Students’ Association (LUSA), offering students the opportunity to have more input into their educational experience. Under the agreement, all students enrolled at Lincoln are recognised as the university’s primary stakeholders, and decisions about student services will be made jointly between LUSA and senior management. LUSA president Danyon Thomas said the five-year timeframe indicates that Lincoln places a high value on student opinion. “We want to make sure the student experience is informed by the students themselves because no-one knows education better than students,” Mr Thomas said. “The five-year term is great because it means the university is fully committed to giving students a say in their education. Services covered by the agreement include offering career advice and supporting students’ transition into post-study employment, as well as providing counselling services,

p Lincoln University Students’ Association president Danyon Thomas says an agreement with university management will ensure the student voice will be heard

financial support, health care, affordable childcare services for students with young children, access to clubs and societies, and sport and cultural activities. The university’s chief academic officer Bruce McKenzie said monthly meetings will be held between LUSA and senior management representatives, to “facilitate working in good faith with a spirit of openness and cooperation.

Water quality plan change Selwyn farmers are being reminded of water quality responsibilities following changes to the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan. Environment Canterbur y has sent a package of information to Selwyn farmers reminding them of their responsibility to meet nutrient management limits and to help them find out whether they will need a landuse consent to farm this year. Selwyn Waihora zone manager Michaela Rees said the Selwyn Te Waihora section Plan Change 1, which is part of the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan, became operative in 2016. She said the change set the nutrient management limits and outlined the timeframe within which they would need to be met. “Around 900 landowners in the Selwyn Waihora zone catchment would require a land-use consent to farm by July 2017.” Ms Rees said flows in lowland streams and the Selwyn River have decreased, while nitrate concentrations in shallow groundwater and lowland streams have increased, which means the health of Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere and local rivers needs improving. “These areas are unique to the sensitive Selwyn Waihora catchment that drains into Lake Ellesmere.” “The whole community needs to address these issues and farmers have an important role to play. We

p Environment Canterbury’s Selwyn Waihora zone manager Michaela Rees

are here to help them with community meetings, drop-in days and one-onone discussions.” She said there were several steps farmers needing a consent were required to take, and Environment Canterbury and industry bodies were available to help. “Create a farm environment plan, prepare a nutrient budget, apply for consent, have your farm environment plan audited and plan for further nitrogen loss reductions. All these steps will help address the serious water quality issues in our zone.” ¢

FANCY FOX’S

Grooming

When Leanne Papps gained her master dog groomer qualification she was just 21, the youngest person to do so – a record which still stands in New Zealand. These days Leanne can be found at 157 Michael Street, Rakaia, running her own grooming business, Fancy Fox’s Grooming. The business takes its name from her sevenyear-old son, Fox. To gain her master groomer qualification, Leanne had to complete a minimum of a four year apprenticeship and pass examinations, both practical and theoretical, as well as attending seminars. She spent six years with one of New Zealand’s top groomers, Verna Holland, of North Canterbury. Encouraged to enter national competitions run by the National Dog Groomers’ Assocation of New Zealand, Leanne has notched up successes. She has won a hand stripping class at national level and was third in the bichon hand scissor class. Her goal remains to win the top title of groomer of the year. “The association is a tight-knit community

FANCY FOX’S

and people are willing to share their knowledge,” Leanne said. She has a background in dog training and studied veterinarian nursing through Otago Polytechnic. She has competed in dog agility and behavioural problems training and has 16 years experience in the grooming industry. Leanne offers a full range of grooming services. While willing to groom any breed of dog, her speciality is bichons, poodles and terriers. She also grooms cats. She has worked with aggressive and timid dogs and in her grooming career, has never had to sedate a dog to be able to groom them. The best way to get a dog comfortable with grooming is to start them early, Leanne said, bringing them in from 12 weeks of age. To encourage this, Leanne offers free grooming for puppies until they are five months old and half price grooming for all new customers’ first booking. Her skill, as well as competitive prices, means she has many regular clients calling at her rural property.

Grooming

Fancy Fox’s Grooming operates from a converted garage. The rural outlook means it is a relaxing, quiet environment for the dogs. With grooming tables, a purpose built bath and high-pressure shower and good lighting, the room is practical and versatile. There is plenty of room for cages of various sizes to hold the dogs while they wait for their pampering. Much of the work in converting the garage to a grooming room was done by Leanne’s partner, Allan, and she is very grateful for his help. Leanne is passing on her knowledge to Roxanne Sloper who is training to be a groomer. Roxanne works with Leanne two days a week and will also eventually begin her training with the national association. Fancy Fox’s Grooming operates seven days a week and with late nights, to suit customers’ requirements. Bookings can be made by telephone, text messaging or through its Facebook page. Every effort is made to set an appointment which is convenient to the client.

Neutering your pet

ALI CATS CATTERY

u by Yolande Howell BVSc (Hons), Selwyn Veterinary Centre

Neutering means the removal of an animal’s reproductive organ. In males it is commonly referred to as castration and in females it is referred to as spaying. Neutering can be done on common pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits and rodents. It is best to discuss this with your veterinarian. Your vet will be able to advise you when the best time is to neuter your pet. The procedures are done under general anaesthesia, and you will be amazed how well animals recover from their operations. The benefits of neutering are numerous. First and foremost we want to control overpopulation of animals — each year thousands of animals end up homeless in shelters and are euthanised. Homeless cats are also culled by trapping and shooting in many places in New Zealand. Secondly, diseases such as testicular cancer in males and mammary cancer in females may be prevented by neutering. Talk to your vet and discuss when the best time is to neuter your pet to prevent these conditions. Thirdly, neutering reduces, and can eliminate, unwanted behaviours. These include urine spraying or marking. Animals are also less likely to roam and escape your property once they are neutered, as hormones play a huge role in this sort of behaviour, and a female in season can attract a lot of unwanted attention in the neighbourhood. Many animals are also more settled and calmer once neutered and in some cases it will dramatically reduce aggressive behaviour. Fourth, a female dog in season can lead to unwanted matings, false pregnancies and also it is really messy. A bitch in season can bleed for up to three weeks.

Fifth, if you have pet siblings that are not neutered, they are likely to mate. Animals don’t have the same respect as humans to family relationships. Siblings will mate with each other and inbred offspring are prone to birth defects and deformities. In addition, there are lots of common myths or old wives tales regarding neutering such as: “My pet is going to miss his testicles, and he’ll be less of a man” — No, animals do not have any sentimental attachment to their reproductive organs. And no, animals do not have egos like humans do. “My pet is going to get fat after neutering” — Their metabolism may change but with the appropriate diet and feeding habits, weight gain is preventable. “I heard that it is better to let her have one litter first” — There is no health benefit to your pet’s health in having a litter. There are too many animals out there already. “I want my children to experience the miracle of birth” — Children should be

taught how precious life is and to look after their pets well. Allowing their pet to have pups or kittens is teaching them that animals can be given away or sold as commodities. So please be a responsible owner and neuter your pet. There are too many animals that end up in rescue centres and shelters around the world and they can’t all be saved. ¢

Passionate about walnuts u by Trudi Meyer

Trees are an essential part of any lifestyle block, and the benefits extend beyond our lifetimes and benefit to the lives of our descendants. Trees have been grown on lifestyle blocks for a number of reasons including food production, shelter, shade, erosion prevention, aesthetic appeal or just for firewood. Trees help improve water quality, provide shade, stabilise eroding slopes, filtering sediments and nutrients from run-off, provide a financial return for nut crops or timber. The secret to successful results is to match the tree to the purpose and the locality, and there is a lot of information out there to help you get the best outcome. Becoming a walnut orchardist after more than 20 years of dairy farming has had its benefits but also its challenges. Walnut trees are dual-purpose trees grown for food and also for timber and very long living, more than 100 years. In commercial orchards walnut trees are grown 7 to 10 metres apart

• Quality Irrigation Sytems • Design, Installation & Servicing • Residential & Lifestyle Blocks • Commercial & Horticulture p Walnuts are considered a very healthy food

walnut orchards are reasonably high at the start, and returns from crop (or timber) is slow in coming for a number of years. From the age of about six years old, the trees will start to produce walnuts, a handful at first but up to two tonnes per ha (approx 10kg/tree). There are a large number of 10-acre blocks suitable for a walnut orchard. Planting walnut trees and harvesting the grass in-between the rows for hay or silage will mean that you don’t have to look after animals, and in 15–20 years will provide a retirement income. It is quite feasible to establish a walnut orchard in the country while working in the city and doing the orchard work over the weekend, which would generally involve pruning in winter and watering in summer. Once the orchard is coming into commercial production

it could be a very profitable enterprise that still leaves enough time to do all the things you could not do during the busy working life. There is scope for large plantations of walnuts. The operation can be completely mechanised and as such lends itself to large-scale production. With crop yields increasing over the coming years, financial viability is expected to improve year by year. Demand for walnuts is growing. Just under 800t of walnut kernel (2,000t of walnuts in shell) were imported in 2015, up from about 500t a few years previously. But the taste of fresh, New Zealand grown, walnuts is superior to the imported ones, and remember, walnuts are considered a very healthy food.

A family tree of off-road power u by Andy Bryenton

There was once a time, we will likely all be telling our grandkids, when there was only one option to get about the farm — the trusty old two-wheeler farm bike, with its knobbly tyres and enclosed disc brakes. Nimble, but unable to carry much in the way of fence posts. Nowadays, it’s hard to believe that there’s so much choice. There seems to be a machine for every conceivable niche, from off-road thrills and performance through to serious, hightorque diesel machines that do the duty of a small utility truck. Polaris, the big North American brand that really brought the side-by-side off-road configuration to Kiwi attention, have neatly filled in the whole family tree ahead of 2017’s model year, creating a template that others will surely try to follow. Looking at it laid out on paper, it’s almost like following the DNA of a species in evolution. There at the base of the tree is the daddy — the Polaris Ranger, now available in a wild variety of flavours including a lowfat 500 model that’s affordable and stripped back, through to four-seater

workhorse monsters and farm-ready diesels. Along a more predatory branch of evolution sits the RZR family, geared up for massive speed and suspension travel, a real honest to goodness Baja rally competitor. In the bloodline of conventional quad bikes, Polaris has cross-bred a bit of their big Ranger into the DNA of the Sportsman, which can carry far more than you’d suppose and which comes in a high-powered variant packing 90 horsepower. Then there’s another real crossover, the Ace, with its enclosed cabin and steering wheel, but all shoehorned into the footprint of a quad. Finally, Polaris has even factored in some of what we love about full-sized utility trucks with the Ute, giving us a beefy quad with a tipping tray. Perhaps the most intriguing

Racing a testbed for technology u by Andy Bryenton

When Ford’s iconic GT40 crushed the opposition at Le Mans back in the 1960s — with Bruce McLaren at the wheel of one of the team’s cars, we might add — it was celebrated as a victory of the blue collar hero over the Italian aristocrat. In reality it was an epic grudge match between a bespoke racing stable and an industrial powerhouse, but the real winner on the day was actually the driving public. It’s no surprise that racing feeds technology through to road-going cars. It’s one of the reasons that car manufacturers spend so much on their racing programmes — in the millions of dollars per season. It’s not just to grab podium finishes and slather racing drivers in champagne. It’s about exploring the cutting edge of technology, which can then filter through into more everyday autos. Some of this is to do with aerodynamics — which has come a long way as a science from those early days of cars like the Superbird or the racing Chaparral 2 Series. The Ford GT, which recently won at Le Mans — again — features aerodynamics which will inform future Focus, Fiesta and Mustang models. Its EcoBoost engine will be studied for its ability to output huge power for minimal fuel input, which will one day benefit us at the pump with our Escapes and Everests. Lightweight materials tech is now becoming something we expect in our

p World beater — the Ford GT contains race-winning technology which will filter down into the rest of the Ford fleet

hatchbacks and family sedans, but it came from the need to strip kilos and grams for the track. Even things like the automatic transmission and disc brakes come right from racing to the average motorist. When Ferrari or Porsche make these advances, they plumb them into new supercars most of us will never afford. But when Ford built the new GT they didn’t just create a work of art that can smash tracks and ignite the soul.

Total fire ban on the cards Continued fine weather along with a lack of rain could lead to the introduction of a total fire ban in Selwyn in the near future. Currently, in the rural areas of Selwyn, a restricted fire season is in place, under which the only types of outdoor fires allowed are barbecues, drum fires, crop stubble fires and fires where a permit has been issued by Selwyn District Council. Selwyn Principal Rural Fire Officer Douglas Marshall said council staff are continuing to monitor fire conditions in Selwyn, and if rainfall remains low, a prohibited fire season (total fire ban) could be introduced soon. “Possibly late February or early March, depending on weather conditions, and if a total fire ban is introduced, crop stubble fires will not be permitted. “Farmers may have the opportunity to get rid of crop stubble over the next week or two but people need to carefully check the weather conditions and forecast, and follow all safety precautions before burning.” Mr Marshall said during the next few weeks people may see crop

stubble fires, particularly on still days, but is urging them to check if the fire is supervised before reporting it so local volunteer fire brigades aren’t called out unnecessarily. He said under safety guidelines for crop stubble fires, no fires may be lit when moderate or strong winds are blowing or forecast. “The maximum allowable wind strength is 20km/h and all crop stubble fires may only be lit during daylight and must be out by dark. “The fire must be supervised at all times and suitable equipment must also be available to extinguish a fire.” He said a fire break of at least 10 metres of bare earth in place is required around the fire and neighbouring property owners should be advised before burning occurs.
