The students and teachers have had a busy start …

“Toby is a young plant conservationist and last year he was involved in a riparian restoration planting pilot as part of the Living Water Project in the Ararira Catchment,” says Enviroschools Canterbury facilitator, Matt Stanford. “The school focussed on a 50m stretch of waterway near the school to plan and implement as they saw fit in line with the project outcomes. Toby was the team leader for planting, taking on this leadership naturally.” The team researched, which plants to use and why considering both the value to the water quality and the ecosystem services they may provide. “Toby conducted in-depth research for

the species list and the planting plan he submitted to DOC. It was subsequently included, unchanged, in the formal proposal to Selwyn District Council. He demonstrated his understanding and passion for his role as the plant consultant. “He also explained to me and the DOC project lead Robin Smith that he had selected native plants based on the project outcomes to restore a biodiversity corridor.” Toby used his research skills, plant knowledge and passion for the project to think laterally about natives to complement the existing exotic trees. “On the planting day itself, he ensured

the contractor followed the planting plan. At an Environment Canterbury Youth Zone Committee meeting Toby explained the project outcomes, planting plan and species list to the assembled group of adults.” He also explained why he chose grass sedge on the margin to filter any run-off, shade the waterway preventing macrophyte growth, provide habitat for fish and stabilise the bank. In response to receiving the NZPCN Young Plant Conservationist award, Toby said: “it feels like a big deal because it’s for the whole of New Zealand, but it was only a small project. I guess if everyone does a little bit — it becomes a big action.” 

Wastewater plan gets green light The Selwyn District Council will move forward on a wastewater scheme for Darfield and Kirwee, after a business case for the project and consultation with Darfield and Kirwee residents. The council agreed there was sufficient evidence to support planning for a wastewater scheme in central Darfield. It had asked staff to include further consultation on a possible system for central Darfield and developments in the township as part of the consultation for the 2020/21 Annual Plan. The council confirmed it would continue to seek costeffective and environmentally sound solutions for the whole Darfield and Kirwee community.

Futsal players qualify u by Ann van Engelen

A group of 12 and 13-year-old futsal players from Selwyn played in the Gold Coast International competition in the under 13-yearold grade recently and placed second overall qualifying for the world championships in Florida.

p The Selwyn under 13-year-old futsal players qualified for the World Championships

“I am very proud of the determination and resilience of these boys over the four days in 30 degrees plus humid conditions. Game after game they produced quality futsal to achieve their goal of qualifying for the Futsal World Championships,” says team coach Samuel Fowler. “Unfortunately without sponsorship, the team will be unable to attend. Last year was our second time attending the Gold Coast futsal competition, and we found this gave us the opportunity to play every week and improve our futsal for this year’s competition. “At this year’s competition, our team came extremely close to actually winning the tournament. In a final team talk, I reminded our players of how well

they had played. At that at this age, it is not entirely about results — it is about their development. They can be incredibly proud of themselves for the effort they gave, the way they played, and how mentally we persevered through the challenges that we faced throughout the tournament. “They were certainly in high spirits going to the medal ceremony. We are still feeling so proud in reflecting on our overall management and our efforts in every single aspect of the tournament. Despite not finishing first, this feels like a victory — just about everything went to plan. We can all feel proud when we look at the medals we earned and reflect on our experience at the Gold Coast International Cup 2020.” ¢

The Farmy Army helps

The sharing of gifts

u by Ann van Engelen

More 100 people joined with members of the John Robert Godley Memorial Trust at the presentation of a copy of a Godley Gifts book set to the Lyttelton Heritage Museum to share the area’s history.

The Student Army that helped clean up after the Christchurch earthquakes set the idea in place for other organisations to help in times of need across the country due to climate disasters.

p The Federated Farmers National Board Katie Milne, Terry Copeland, Andrew Maclean, Chris Lewis, Emma Patterson and Andrew Hoggard joined the Farmy Army helping clear flood damage on farms

“The Farmy Army is a direct result of the Student Army. We adapted the idea and tackle specific farm tasks when needed. Helpers from across the country join together when there are natural disasters such as the recent flooding in Southland,” says Southland Federated Farmers vice president Bernadette Hunt. “Last week we had people help farmers clear debris from their fence lines. The flooding has been significant here before, and I have no doubt that after similar events in the past people got together to help but now with social media, we have a wider area to draw people in. We even had a guy on holiday from America turn up to help. “The Federated Farmers National Board cancelled a meeting in the district to help farmers instead and joined the volunteers. Clearing the fence lines of

debris was needed before the farmers could start repair work. When you stood back and looked at the destruction it was totally overwhelming and often there are only two workers, often a couple with children. “One farmer text me to say what a team took five hours to accomplish would have taken him five weeks. Some farms had 20 people turn up and others only needed two or three. “The farmers are hugely appreciative with relief in their voices at the end of the day. The volunteers had no expectations and paid their own expenses or were sponsored. We had more than 400 people turn up and help in the past week. “The Farmy Army is only a success if the volunteers come forward and they did. Many hands make light work and we are very thankful.” ¢

“John Robert Godley was the founder of Canterbury and the trust gifted book set number 50, to commemorate 1850, to the Lyttelton community, in St Saviour’s Church at Holy Trinity, on the site of the original Holy Trinity Church, that John Robert Godley officially opened,” says trustee Haydn Rawstron. “Godley Gifts was created to open people’s eyes and help them to appreciate the qualities in which our forebears brought with them to Canterbury.

Plantation forestry is already looking great For the same area of land, forestry provides many more jobs than sheep and beef farming and so boosts rural communities. Forest product exports are earning more than beef and sheepmeat combined. And from much smaller land area. Forests are the best way to hold vulnerable landscapes intact. Our future needs to include more forests Forestry is the key to getting New Zealand to carbon neutral. Though trees alone can’t achieve carbon neutrality for New Zealand permanently, our forests’ ability to absorb carbon is crucial for reaching 2030 and 2050 greenhouse gas reduction goals. That’s why there are incentives to plant trees, paid for by carbon emitters. That in turn is why so many New Zealand landowners are planting forests. Forests and farms are both crucial for New Zealand. Nearly a third of our log harvest is on farms. Let’s work together. We can continue to feed and house both us and our international customers, and fight climate change at the same time.

We provide lessons during school hours and are open to the public after hours and on the weekends in the areas we visit. “It is nice to see children who are nervous at their first lesson gain confidence and start skating around the rink. They often return with their family at the public sessions to show off their new skills. “We had curling for adults and a disco night on Friday night, which was sold out.

Celebrating our tamariki West Melton’s achievers The Selwyn Parenting Network has a variety of key events and campaigns planned for the year including, educative talks, networking and collaboration, all aimed at building strong, connected families, whanau and communities in Selwyn starting with Children’s Day.

u by Ann van Engelen

The students and teachers have had a busy start to the school year at West Melton School with various activities on the school calendar.

p West Melton School learners have a busy start to the new school year p A vast range of free activities will be available at the Selwyn Parenting Network Children’s Day event

“Our purpose is to maintain a Selwyn District Parenting Network, which promotes and encourages development and empowerment of parents and caregivers in an educative and supportive environment,” says Selwyn Parenting Network coordinator Kate Webb. “Our first event of 2020 is the highly anticipated SPN Children’s Day. A totally free fun event for the whole family, proudly supported by principal sponsors Faringdon. It is a wonderful day to bring families together and show how important children are. The main theme this year is to ‘put Tamariki first’, with a focus

on encouraging families to get out in nature. “The whole event is free and consists of three action-packed hours of fun, laughter, activities, entertainment and games for the entire family including bouncy castles, pony rides, sports activities, sausage sizzles, entertainment and giveaways, resources and information. It is also a great opportunity to connect with numerous children’s services providers and community organisations. “Be sure to pack a picnic, bring your sunhats and water bottles, and relax on the field at Foster Park on Sunday, March 1 from noon to 3pm.” ¢

Septic tanks and multi-stage septic systems are delicately balanced environments. It does not take much to upset them. Common practice is to ignore the septic system until problems occur. Good practice is to always keep your septic system well maintained. Septi-Cure™ is a concentrated mixture of selected naturally occurring microorganisms. These harmless tiny organisms live and multiply by feeding on waste material. When introduced to your septic tank system, they go to work straight away digesting waste material, reducing solids and scum, allowing your septic system to start operating to its maximum efficiency. *Results may vary

“We welcomed 34 new learners and eight new staff with a formal welcome last week,” says promotions and sports administrator Rita Spadoni. “Family members are invited to join in when welcome newcomers to the school as they are also joining our community. We had a waiata that the children are involved in and the principal’s welcome message adding to the day. “We held our annual Y5–8 Duathlon, where our learners had a chance to compete as an individual entry or as part of a team. It is a compulsory event with a run and cycle section with three kilometres running and nine kilometres for cycling in total. “The children enjoy the challenge and are well supported by their peers.

They are quite competitive and have fun trying to beat each other. There are always a few surprises that come along with students doing exceptionally well. The top year five to eight competitors now have a chance to compete at the Selwyn Central Zone being held at Motukarara Domain at the end of February. Our juniors’ mini-triathlon is coming up in the near future. “We have also selected our new Student Ambassadors, and we congratulate Amira, Aleia, Luke, Hamish, Brooklyn and Ryder. These learners have been selected for representing our DRIVER values — Determination/Aumangea, Respect/ Whakaute, Integrity/Ngakaupono, Vitality/Hiringa, Empathy/Aroha and Resilience/Manawaroa.” ¢

A satisfied customer in Hamilton has used Septi-Cure™ for over five years. He says this allows them to have an odour free septic tank with low maintenance costs. He also says that his service person is amazed at how well Septi-Cure™ works, keeping their tank in very good condition. Septi-Cure™ is:

Darfield High on a high

Avoid Drink Driving

u by Mike Isle

Local high school, Darfield High, has had a successful 2019 and is looking to do even better this year. Provisional results show the 850roll school had a higher percentage of certificates achieved in the NCEA levels one and two than the decile 8 to 10 average and was above the national average for Level 3 and University Entrance. However, for principal James Morris and his talented team of teachers and support staff, the impetus for further success in 2020 is uppermost in their minds. The school is welcoming 135 new year seven students in 2020 and Morris says the school is ready and waiting for them with a new set of goals. “Our annual goals for 2020 reflect the feedback from staff, students and the community in 2019. “We have grouped our goals around three key themes to help better communicate what we will be focussing on. These themes are connections between people, clarity of expectations and consistency of practice.” Morris says feeling connected to the school is a key factor in supporting wellbeing. “Students and staff who feel connected through their positive relationships within the school and the feeling of being part of something worthwhile, are better able to contribute to their own success and the success of others. Strategies related to this theme will support better connections and more connections.

From December until March, Vetent Darfield sees many cases of errant barley grass awns. Once dried on the plant, they are then released into the wind. They can then be picked up on dogs’ and cats’ coats. The awns are shaped like arrowheads, with a hard, sharp point on one end and a feathery barbed tail on the other. The sharp ends will easily penetrate the skin, and the awns can bury themselves deep into the tissue. They can migrate almost anywhere, including into lungs, spinal cords and eyes. Most grass seeds are found in between toes, inside ear canals and in behind eyelids. In between toes, they commonly present as a red swollen fluid-filled wound. They cause marked pain and irritation, which results in lots of licking! From this location, they can move between bones and ligaments and create scarring wherever they go. We also see ear infections and corneal (eye) ulcers from these seeds.

Treatment requires antibiotics and antiinflammatories, plus physically removing the awns. To remove the awns, the animals are first sedated, then the inflamed areas are probed and flushed. If in between toes, for example, the awns can be very hard to find and do not show up on X-ray, so sometimes it requires multiple sedations to remove all of the plant

material. Prevention is far easier. Keep fur around feet and ears short, especially in curly-coated or fluffy-coated breeds. Avoid areas with lots of grass seeds, such as road verges and paddock edges, especially during dry periods. Check coats, especially around feet, regularly to ensure barley awns are caught before they penetrate. Your pets will thank you for it!

From the backpack to the air u by Andy Bryenton

Areas, where backpack-carried pesticide and insecticide spraying was once commonplace, will soon echo to the whir of tiny rotors if drone pilots get their way. As debate swirls over drafting laws and guidelines around how best to deploy chemicals for agriculture and horticulture from unmanned aerial vehicles, industry leaders are not slowing their development of robotic sprayers.

p Drones may take the place of workers with chemical spraying backpack units in hard to reach places amid vines, trees and paddies

all Japanese rice paddies and delivering sprays to quash pests and boost growth. A short hop across the sea to China and an even bigger investment in drone tech is underway. Market leader in the People’s Republic, DJI, claim that they have 10,000 operators qualified

numbers in the air are set to spike as their utility and practicality becomes apparent. For industries like viticulture, kiwifruit, stone fruit and some agrarian crops, the ability to switch out the bulky backpack for a nimble aerial robot may prove more than a little tempting. ¢

Think of tight spaces between vines or under trees, where even a small tractor or quad cannot easily travel. Then imagine eradicating the need for labourintensive spraying work; work, which puts people in close proximity to chemicals that require safety gear to handle. Using a robot in these situations makes good sense, say advocates of drone sprayers. The area in which these machines make even more sense is in the East, where rice paddies have long been a labourintensive work environment. In Japan, this has seen the rise of drone tech overflying the flooded fields. Yamaha, who were early to the game with their R-Max mini helicopter, has recently revealed a new contender, the YMR-08, armed with coaxial rotors and a 10-litre spray tank. Yamaha bosses estimate that between this new heavy hitter and their previous remote chopper drone models, 2,500 ag robots are in the air over the land of the rising sun at any given time, covering 42 per cent of

One two punch for Fendt u by Andy Bryenton

Tractor of the Year is a hefty title, and in its 23rd year of being awarded, the title has been split into three denominations. Judges at the vast European Agritechnica festival, along with the reviewers from Italy’s Trattoti magazine, say that this is to reflect the vast range of tasks, which modern tractors undertake, from specialist harvesting through to pulling the heaviest of implements. This year, two of the three top prizes went to one company. Fendt has been making tractors for decades, and are no strangers to the awards podium. A double one-two has given the Germans real cause to celebrate, and now the pair of winners are poised to roll into New Zealand for our own round of field days and A&P shows. Winner of the overall Tractor of the Year title was the Fendt 942 Series, delivering more than 400 horsepower despite also exhibiting stunningly low emissions and fuel consumption. The big Fendt is engineered to achieve maximum torque at lower rpm with its nine-litre turbo diesel, and, in another 21st-century advancement, it’s also been designed to operate remotely, with many of its functions able to be slaved to exterior digital devices.

Avoid Drink Driving be THe SOBER D FOr a NIGHT

As the big Fendt takes the number one spot on the podium, its ‘baby brother’ the 314 Vario swept up honours in the Utility Tractor class. These smaller

machines are valued for their ability to multi-role about the farm, so a massive range of PTO options is key. The midweight 314 Vario comes equipped with a dynamic performance system that boosts output power, even when the tractor is stationary. It’s also packed with customisable control options, making it easier than ever to adapt as a ‘Swiss army knife’ of a machine.

While the 25 judges, gleaned from a panel of international agricultural reviewers and writers, picked a New Holland for spot number three, it’s still a mighty win for Fendt, who have invested a substantial amount into research and development in recent years. The overarching award for all of Europe has been mirrored by national accolades in countries like Poland and Croatia. ¢

A man ahead of his time

Barnhill Building Ltd

Rural contractors everywhere would likely be praising the name of Hiram Moore every morning as they turned the keys to their combine harvesters; if only they knew who he was. The American inventor lived an eventful life but missed out on fame and fortune by reaching too far too fast. Today he’s known as the father of the combine, but in his own time, he was the man who missed out on patenting the reaping machine. Moore lived in the interestingly named town of Climax, near Kalamazoo, Michigan, a place he’d helped to found by wagon train. The strait-laced Christian settlers saw nothing funny about the name; they were talking about the fact that the founding of the town was the high point of their journey west. They also found nothing funny about the sheer amount of crops, which the fertile soil there brought forth. Enough that, in 1835, a friend of Moore’s asked him if he could design a machine to help cut it all, saving the town’s scytheswinging menfolk a lot of aching backs. It’s possible that Moore’s friend had read about a machine made by Scotsman Patrick Bell in 1826, using the same scissor cutting method sometimes still used today. A few of these machines had reached the east coast before the founders of Climax saddled up to go west, but they were notoriously tricky to use and were never patented. However, Hiram Moore had a vision. He wanted to design a machine that could not only reap the grain but thresh it and winnow it too. All three parts of the machine were clear in

his mind. He retreated to a large barn and began to experiment. In 1835, as the harvest came around, a monster of a machine came forth from that old building. Hiram Moore had done it. He had created the first-ever combine harvester, but it was gigantic. Twenty horses and a team of men were required to get it moving, and its internals were complex and made of wood and iron, not modern materials as we see today. Despite all this, the concept caught on. Poor old Hiram spent his later years wrangling with rival inventor Cyrus McCormick, who designed a simpler reaping machine at about the same time. Some Michigan folk say that Cyrus literally pinched patent blueprints from Hiram out of the post, while others

accept that the McCormick reaper was simply a coincidence. By the 1860s the combine concept had been picked up by large companies, and soon enough modern steel and the diesel engine would see it become king of the fields. Modern machines unload six bushels a second; unthinkable in the 1830s. Without Hiram Moore’s 20-horsepower creation, none of it would be possible. ¢
