p Children affected by cancer had a break from their everyday schedules at Living Springs Camp last week taking time to relax and enjoy a variety of activities at Camp Quality. “We are a volunteer group that gives children that have gone through cancer treatment, or their siblings a break focussing on fun, hope and happiness,” says Camp Quality regional manager Damian Young. “It is about giving them the opportunity to do the fun things they are missing out on. We have traditions such as our party night, the Canterbury Kings cricket team visited, the volunteer fire brigade ran the water slide for us, and car and truck enthusiasts took the children for rides. Camp Quality holds events throughout the year to fundraise for the annual summer camp. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers. The local Lions Club started the camp here in 1985 and still fundraise and come to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and clean up for us daily. There are so many highlights, and when the children go home, there are a lot of smiling faces. They talk about it nonstop for the next week.” For more information, go to the Camp Quality New Zealand website.

Showing international students the Kiwi culture is something many families have experienced through Student Exchange Australia New Zealand, and the organisation is now seeking more volunteer hosts for the 2020 year. “I have been finding volunteer host families for more than 17-years, and it is very rewarding for all concerned,” says Student Exchange Australia New Zealand facilitator Sandra Harders. “We look for people all over New Zealand who are willing to share their homes with young people on the programme who come to experience a different culture.” The programme is voluntary with no money exchanged. “The students become part of the family and are expected to do the same chores as family members. We are expecting 40 visitors in the July programme from countries such as Finland, Austria, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan and Sweden. They want to experience different cultures and expand their English speaking skills. There is a five or 10-month programme as well as a shortterm opportunity during May.

“It is a very rewarding experience. I had a student 19-years ago, and he still visits me every two years. A lot of families host to give their children a chance to interact with different cultures and expand their life experience — some hosts have no children at all. “We are a non-profit organisation, and when someone enquires I personally call them and organise their police check prior to approval as we have a strict duty of care policy. The visiting student’s family pays for their costs and spending. “Host families are sent student profiles to choose from, and some people are hosting their 12th student as they enjoy learning different cultures and showing off their part of the world. People often visit places locally that they otherwise wouldn’t and find this very rewarding and the visiting students often stay friends for years to come.” For more information, go to studentexchange.org.nz. ¢

Electorate boundary reviews The next stage of public consultation on the electorate boundary review is closing soon and time is running out for people to have their say.

Toward pest free

Public meetings are set for people to learn more about Pest Free Banks Peninsula’s plans to ramp-up efforts to protect native wildlife and vegetation by eradicating possums and other pest animals.

p Pest Free Banks Peninsula is ramping-up efforts to protect native wildlife and vegetation

p The map showing the proposed electorate changes

The Representation Commission is reviewing the names and boundaries of electorates for the next two general elections. Three hundred and thirtytwo objections have been received to the proposed electorates, which were released for public comment in November. “Boundary changes are needed in Christchurch because of significant population growth in Selwyn, which is the fastest-growing electorate in the country,” says Representation Commission chair, Judge Craig Thompson. Proposed changes see the Banks Peninsula area moved into the current Port Hills electorate, which is renamed Banks Peninsula. The area around Marshs Road and Hodgens Road moves into the Wigram electorate, and an area south of the Rakaia River moves into the Rangitata electorate.

“We want to hear what people think of the shape and name of the electorate they will vote in at this year’s election and the next in 2023. All submissions will be taken into account before final decisions are made in April on the electorate names and boundaries,” says Judge Thompson. The deadline for counter-objections is 5pm Friday, January 24. Counter-objections will be published online at vote.nz after January 24, and public hearings of submissions will be held in February. The final electorate boundaries will be released in April. Background information on the review as well as the submissions received in the first stage of the boundary review were released on January 9 and can be read online at vote.nz/boundary-review-2019-2020/ view-submissions/. ¢

“The control programme is part of a 30-year initiative to protect biodiversity across the 115,000-hectare peninsula, and support sustainable agriculture and tourism. It replaces the previous possum control programme run by us,” says Pest Free Banks Peninsula spokesperson, Dr David Miller. “Possums are causing havoc to our native vegetation and wildlife. So we are looking to start a new programme with the aim of eradicating possums from south-eastern Banks Peninsula during the next five years. From there, we will progressively work outwards across the peninsula. The project needs the support and involvement of landowners and residents to achieve its long-term vision. “We understand some landowners would like to see possums controlled

across the entire peninsula. It is, however, widely accepted that the previous possum programme was no longer achieving its desired impact. We need to look at new ways of doing things. “During the next six months, we will trial new methods of controlling possums to see if we can provide effective and affordable suppression beyond the eradication area to keep possum numbers down.” Public meetings will be held on Friday, January 24, at 6pm at the Akaroa Sports Pavilion and on Wednesday, January 29, at 6pm at Little River Rugby Club Rooms. Groups, businesses or individuals wanting to get involved can find further information on the Pest Free Banks Peninsula website. ¢

The Christchurch Youth Council is encouraging young people to join together and discover the edible plants that are available in the residential red zone area across the city.

p The Christchurch Youth Council encourage young people to join them at their foraging events

“People don’t realise there are hundreds of edible plants ready for free foraging and many of our young people are enjoying discovering the various foods available,” says youth council coordinator Kate Burgess. “The youth council established an environmental policy last year, trying to make our events more environmentally sustainable. That is how we have learnt about foraging. We plan to hold a rubbish clean-up in the red zone and teach people about foraging for sustainable food sources such as edible plants, fruit and nuts at the event. “A lot of young people don’t remember the area before it turned into the red zone and don’t realise there is a mass of land that is currently unused. We want them to understand a bit more about the city. There are some areas

There is foraging etiquette such as don’t over pick and always try to take just what is on the ground. Our Christchurch City Council parks are also edible parks that you are allowed to shop around in. “It is important to make sure you know what is edible, but there is so much out there being wasted. It is good to see our people passing on their knowledge of things like bay leaves and making elderflower cordial, so others know what is what. It brings our communities together in a unique way.” Check out the Christchurch Youth Council Facebook page for upcoming events. ¢

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.

Enhancing biodiversity initiatives

Supporters appreciate support

A fruitful year of funding important local biodiversity projects in 2018–19 saw the Hurunui Waiau Water Zone Committee allocate nearly $130,000 to seven projects.

u by Ann van Engelen

p Funding is helping threatened and endangered species bird management in braided rivers

There are 10 zone committees based throughout Canterbury, all of which are granted $105,000 each year through the Immediate Steps funding programme. “We have made good progress on our flagship projects to provide funding for clearance and building of nesting sites for threatened bird species on our rivers,” said zone committee acting chair Ken Hughey. “We have had major investment in threatened and endangered species bird management in braided rivers: 2,000 black-backed gulls were culled, predator control work was advanced and weed-free islands destroyed by floods were re-established.”

The committee picked three ideas to become flagship projects in 2017 — all are five-year projects relating to the Hurunui and Waiau braided rivers. “These projects totalled nearly 75 per cent of the overall budget (about $92,000) and involved clearance of weeds on braided river islands, surveying and monitoring native bird populations and controlling the blackbacked gull. One of the most abundant and invasive gulls in the country, the black-backed gull predates endangered bird species. “It was causing E coli problems for both the Hurunui and Waiau rivers, meaning the water quality in both was adversely affected.” ¢

Receiving funding from the recent Mike King, I Am Hope event, the staff at Talk Together — Social Skills group say they are appreciative of the support they receive as they help young people in need. “Mike donated to us through the Selwyn Parenting Network after his recent I Am Hope event. He wanted to help local young people, and we appreciate his input,” says co-founder and speech therapist Megan Lewis. “One in ten children have speech, language and communication difficulties. We provide support with social skills and anxiety management through our team of educators, speech therapists and counsellors. “Children we work with learn coping skills for anxiety and have speech therapy when needed building their resilience, confidence and communication ability. Many don’t have friends at school and make connections through the group and develop strategies to use, such as deep belly breathing to calm their minds when they feel overwhelmed with emotions. “We are in our second year in Selwyn.

Hot sun, cold hard maths u by Andy Bryenton

Solar energy is a big topic of discussion when it comes to home improvements. With cutting edge tech being offered on terms, the essential question is whether or not it makes fiscal sense to invest in photovoltaic panels to reduce your power bill, considering the projected lifetime of such systems. With Photovoltaic (PV) panels now lasting three decades or more, and prices dropping, the return on your investment will come around sooner than it used to. Of course, a full system consists of more than just panels, it’s also about storage and control. However, looking at the whole package, it’s still possible that an average home will recoup the initial investment in infrastructure within the first five to seven years through savings alone, leaving in excess of two decades of pure returns. However, the cuts to your power bill are not the only advantage. Looking at another market without subsidies: the clear picture is that having a solar system installed also increases the value of your home at sale. A detailed survey by the United States’ National Renewable Energy Laboratory revealed that, despite varying conditions across the continental US, every $1 of power bill savings added

BARN K I T

p There’s a good reason to go solar beyond monthly power bill savings; the value such technology adds to your home

$20 to the saleable price of a home. These figures are in US dollars, but the scale remains similar here. Direct from their findings: “The exact numbers vary from property to property and installation to installation, but recent research shows an average increase in resale value being $5,911 (nearly NZ$9,000) for each one kilowatt (kW) of solar installed. In a state like California, for example, a small 3.1-kilowatt (kW) system can add an average of $18,324 (NZ$27,675) to the value of a medium-sized home. It’s

important to note that these statistics only apply to today’s housing prices and utility rates. As electricity prices go up (as they most certainly will), the advantages of solar energy rise proportionally as well.” Many American markets are more fully saturated with solar tech than New Zealand, where the uptake of such systems is only now entering the ‘hockey stick’ part of the graph’s curve. As SPV becomes the norm, expect the resale benefits to match those in the US, or even exceed them. ¢

TO BUILD OR RENOVATE Self-contained solutions As a crunch in the building trade and housing leads to people wanting to innovate, and rethink the concept of a traditional home, ideas such as tiny houses and off-the-grid movable structures have become increasingly popular. Above all others, though, the option of using shipping containers as the building blocks of homes has really taken off. On the surface, it looks like a fantastic idea. First floated in the 1950s, and revitalised by programmes such as Amazing Spaces, the container concept spans everything from isolated cabins to home extensions added on to 100-yearold villas. The advantages are clear; containers are tough, durable and made to survive the lashing seas and rain of ocean transport, keeping what’s inside dry. Most come with a sturdy wooden floor in place, and can be easily modified with ranch sliders and prefab aluminium window sections — all that’s needed is an angle grinder. Containers are easy to shift, too, as there is a whole infrastructure dedicated to getting them from place to place, including specialised trucks and forklifts. Smaller units can be handled by the biggest tractors or excavators fitted with chains. However, building a container extension or full container home can require more architectural knowhow and council red tape than some

expect. Placing a container on wooden supports to use as a shed or uninhabitable structure, with no reticulated water and wastewater, for example, is a simple matter. Making that big 12-metre box of steel into a light, airy space with multiple rooms, a deck, bathroom, kitchen and more involves specialist skills. The cost savings may not be in materials tech, as timber and ply may prove cheaper. The advantages come in compact, solid, secure ‘Lego blocks’, which can be placed in a modular and innovative way to make all kinds of designs. It all depends on what you want out of your build. The best place to start is to find a local builder or architect with experience in turning containers into living spaces. Costs for the container itself begin at just $3,000, but fit-out to make it into a home, like those seen on television,

Kawasaki use the force u by Andy Bryenton

In Star Wars spin-off The Mandalorian, the titular bounty hunting hero has to make use of all kinds of vehicles to cross alien deserts, swamps and lava flows; everything from carts pulled by lizards through to the signature Star Wars speeder bikes. To use a phrase from the film’s lexicon, he should have used the force. Moreover, perhaps, the Kawasaki Brute Force 300. The big green machine from Japan has found a neat answer to the needs of off-road riders here in New Zealand, who have to put up with a mixture of terrains that would not be out of place spread across several planets. It’s an entry-level machine with the chops of a much larger and more fully-featured quad. So its designers have gone out of their way to lighten, add utility and make things simple. Vast distances are also a factor when traversing the Kiwi back country, so the deployment of an economical 271cc single pot, overhead cam motor makes for longer distances each tank. Liquid cooling has been added to ensure reliable performance under load, and in the heat of summer, but it’s a simple single-carby inlet on the upstream end of the block, not fuel injection.

Lifestyle ‘n’ Farming

The hands behind the horseshoe There’s a lot of superstition and old-fashioned stories involved in the trade of being a farrier, despite the fact that the actual work is very down to earth. Working with horses to ensure better hoof health and better quality of life is the job of the modern farrier, but history reveals a tale of twists and turns. When iron was a new technology, back in the very distant past, tribes who could forge tools and weapons with it had a distinct advantage over those who could not. The word blacksmith is one of the oldest in English and comes from the term ‘bloce smyther’ (block smiter), one who hits an anvil with a hammer. The transition from ‘block’ to ‘black’ was an easy one, considering the sooty environment and the black iron, which smiths worked with. Iron became the stuff of legends. Iron was said to drive away mischievous supernatural beings, and people still hang a horseshoe up for luck. It reflects the fact that our iron-bearing ancestors drove out and defeated the copper and bronze using ‘wild people’ in very ancient times. Smith gods and heroes, like the Roman Vulcan and the Anglo-Saxon Wayland, became popular in stories, reflecting the importance of the trade. After all, a village with a smith had tools, nails, wheels, barrels, swords, arrows and armour as well as well-shod horses. When the horse came to Europe, people who had never seen a rider on horseback thought such a thing supernatural in itself, and this is where the legend of half man half horse centaur comes from.

know, horses need help to keep their hooves healthy when not running wild on the steppe-land where they evolved. The village smith often added the role of farrier to his list of jobs. Farrier comes from the Latin word ‘ferrous’, meaning iron. The horn-shaped part of an anvil is designed for bending horseshoes around after the metal is heated until it’s soft. The first qualification for farriers was laid down by the King of England in 1356, founding a guild known as the Worshipful Company of Farriers. Practising without guild credentials was a serious offence, as the nation’s military power lay with its cavalry and its economic power with its farm horses. To this day, the elite British regiments who guard the Queen have a farrier who is also a highly-trained soldier on-call 24-7 at their Hyde Park Barracks in Central London. Meanwhile, modern farriers in New Zealand work closely with vets and animal health experts to ensure a better life for our equine population. ¢

THE RECORD January 22 - 2020

EDUCATION Expand your horizons in 2020 It’s a new year and a new decade — time to commit to some extra personal growth, making this a year for new beginnings. There are plenty of people in our part of the country who are willing to share their knowledge with you. It’s all about choosing a direction that unlocks your natural talents. 1. Get artistic! Painting can be stressrelieving, therapeutic and a great outlet for your emotions. Learning to use a pencil, pen, brush and even a spray can is easier than you may think. Everyone has an inner artist; check out your local community centre or art gallery for forthcoming classes and jump in. Even Da Vinci and Picasso started with a single line! 2. Ride on forever. With some of the best riding roads, scenery and weather in the world, getting on board a motorcycle is a bucket list check for many of us. Take the plunge, take a defensive riding course, gain confidence and enjoy the open highway. 3. Make some music. You may not become a rock star, but there’s a

lot of fun to be had belting out your favourite rock songs on the guitar, or enjoying the peace and serenity of the classics. There’s also plenty of scope to delve into electronic music right from your home computer. Talk to your local music shop, look at lessons online, or contemplate having some musical fun by joining a group. 4. Embrace world cultures. Online lessons, library books and interactive courses can all teach you the basics of a foreign language. It is proven to aid in brain health, and in keeping sharp and intelligent even into one’s later years. Make it more fun by booking a holiday to an exotic land, then learning enough about the language and culture to really appreciate

your trip away. You’ll be amazed at how friendly the locals are when you make the effort to connect in their language. 5. Take up a new sport. Learn to sail. Learn to swim. Learn a martial art. The body and the mind will benefit from doing something active and fresh, like getting on a bike for the first time since your school days or taking advantage of the beautiful coasts by learning some new angling tricks. ¢
