Cultural diversity p Darfield High School students show off the school’s diversity during its first-ever Cultural Diversity Day held recently. The day was previously known as International Day, but the students decided to change the name to reflect the growing variety of cultures represented at the school. As well as a number of ‘passport’ activities, in which students answered questions about a variety of cultures, the students also folded origami paper cranes, which will be taken to Japan later in the year by students and staff who are part of a cultural exchange to Japan. The Cultural Diversity Day ended with a performance by the school’s kapa haka group.

Vet club becomes charitable trust u by Kent Caddick

Recognising women in business

Entries for the inaugural NZI Rural Women …

After more than 65 years of service to the district, the Malvern Farmers’ Veterinary Club is set to transform itself into a charitable trust. The Malvern Farmers’ Veterinary Club Incorporated was founded in 1952 and like many such clubs established around New Zealand had the objective of providing veterinary services to the local district. The club operated successfully for many

years, with clinics in Darfield and Oxford, and was run by an elected executive, which employed the staff and managed the business. However, club president, Colin Guild, said at the turn of the century, the club began to incur losses.

“There were many reasons for this including poor climatic seasons, poor product prices, general reduction of farm expenditure and increased competition.”

p The Smurfs from West Melton School, from left, Joe, Otis, Isla and Maia, have done their school proud by maintaining the school’s success in the annual UC Education Mud Run event, which was held at the Motukarara racecourse recently. The team took out the Mixed Team trophy, making it three years in a row the school has won that title. The UC Education Mud Run was introduced by Sport Canterbury in 2011 to encourage students of all abilities to participate in a team, train to achieve a goal, and have fun along the way. The West Melton students’ achievement was remarkable in that more than 900 other Canterbury secondary and intermediate students from 30 schools took part in the event. Photo by Kathryn Meyers

We are celebrating. Exports of New Zealand forest products will top $6 billion for the first time this year. About half the value comes from shipments of sawn timber, paper and other processing. Unlike the dairy industry, which exports nearly all it produces, for forestry, we use a lot in New Zealand. Most of our homes are made from wood. The billion trees which the government wants to see planted over the next ten years – plus genetic and technology gains – will see an even greater role for forestry in our economy for decades into the future.

CentreStage Rolleston director, Phil Dean, said as a new performing arts theatre group in Selwyn they are very excited to be staging the very popular, and award-winning musical, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was written by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice for a boys’ school in London, as a pop cantata for the school choir to sing at their Easter concert in March 1968. “It continues to be an extremely popular show for school and theatre groups to perform and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.” There will be separate auditions for both children and adults — with

adults being required to attend a dance audition as well. Mr Dean said the dance audition would cater to all levels of dance. “While talent is our primary consideration when casting, a high level of commitment is required for the show. Final choices for all roles will be made with this in mind.” However, he said people shouldn’t be shy about coming forward. “We are all super-friendly and are keen to see what talent Rolleston and the wider Selwyn district has to offer.” For all information on the auditions contact auditions coordinator Courtney Hyde on 027 486 7773 or email: centrestagerolleston@gmail.com. ¢

West Melton’s Amy Robinson is delighted to be heading back to school but has returned to her old stomping ground — not as a pupil but as a teacher.

p Former West Melton School head student Amy Robinson, centre, with a group of West Melton School Intermediate students who she now teaches

The former West Melton School head student has taken on a position as one of the school’s relieving teachers, known as the Fab Five, with one permanent shift a week and filling in when needed. Principally she will be working with the students as a PE and dance teacher. Ms Robinson, who has also been teaching part-time in Kirwee, said she was excited to be back at the primary school she went to. “My parents have a farm on the outskirts of West Melton, so I went there as a primary school student,” she said. “Getting a job at West Melton was so cool being so close to home and I have real fond memories of being here when I was younger, so it’s quite special.” After leaving West Melton, she went on to attend Lincoln High School before heading off to university. Ms Robinson said she always wanted to be able to

give back to the community in which she was raised. “I have wanted do something, which would benefit the community I have lived in, and I have always loved working with kids. After my first placement, I knew this is what I wanted to do.” She spent three years at Canterbury University to gain her bachelor of teaching and learning and moved back to her parents’ home in West Melton at the start of the year with a placement in Kirwee, where she still teaches, before securing her position at West Melton. “Some of the teachers who taught me at West Melton are still here, so it’s pretty cool to be working with them. “The values of the school are still the same, and it’s pretty awesome to see how much it has grown and how much it has changed, especially with the new buildings.” ¢

Vet club becomes charitable trust Mr Guild said the club’s executive reacted decisively as it purchased land in the main streets of Darfield and Oxford and transitioned the club to a contracted practice model whereby the clinics were operated by a veterinary business, and the club became the landlord. “This process went on for a number of years and involved new clinics in Darfield and Oxford and upgraded rental property in Darfield.” Mr Guild said the club was in a sound financial position with assets of around $4 million, but it was time to change focus. “The club’s executive had the view that the original objective of bringing a veterinary service to the districts has been achieved and is now met by commercial practices. “It is, therefore, appropriate the income generated be distributed to the districts for the benefit of the rural community.” This has led to the formation of the Malvern Farmers’ Veterinary Club Charitable Trust. “The charitable trust will exist to advance the welfare of rural communities in the districts,” he said. “It is proposed that twice a year, the trust would consider applications from community groups

and individuals living in or connected with the districts, and make grants for charitable purposes.” The Malvern Farmers’ Veterinary Club Incorporated is to be wound up and the assets transferred to the new trust, which is to be governed by a trust deed. Mr Guild said the trust deed is drafted broadly so as to give trustees wide discretion as to the activities the trust could support and include activities such as the advancement of education and community welfare, the strengthening of community and voluntary organisations and a provision to be able to assist in the response to emergencies or adverse events. 

Lincoln tackles land use issues

Wigged up

A new Lincoln University initiative is responding to the need for new ways of using our land more productively while ensuring New Zealand’s future prosperity and enhancing lives.

p West Melton School pupils, from left, Jacob, Oscar, William and Tyler were among those taking part in the school’s recent Wig Wednesday event. The event was organised by the school’s student executive to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. Students came to school in a variety of wigs, hats and homemade creations, and raised $390 for the foundation. The foundation provides support to families, parents and children who have been impacted by child cancer.

The initiative, called Designing Future Productive Landscapes is a multi-disciplinary approach, which could span the university as it seeks to find alternatives to “current and narrow models of land use options and practices”. Initiative lead, Professor Pablo Gregorini, said these land use options and practices limit not only sustainability and the resilience of landscapes and the agroecosystems embedded within them, but also constrain regeneration of land, environment and culture. The initiative follows the recommendations of last year’s Transformation Board Report urging Lincoln to deliver positive changes in land, food and ecosystems. The initiative involves academics from agricultural, landscape and Maori perspectives, and is the first of three to be announced this year. Its comprehensive research programme involves projects in hill country, dryland and irrigated landscapes. Professor Gregorini said production landscapes, or te taiao, underpin cultures and prosperity of societies worldwide. “However, a number of transformations and pressures are affecting landscapes here and around the world, diminishing biodiversity, reducing water and air quality, and accelerating loss of soil and plant biomass, amongst other factors.

p Lincoln University chancellor Steve Smith says the university is uniquely placed to lead a new initiative investigating new ways of using our land more productively

“We want to create adaptive agroecosystems to reconnect our landscape, our livestock (agriculture) and ourselves, by restoring broken linkages among plants, herbivores and humans with diets that nourish and satiate, as well as heal our planet,” Professor Gregorini said. Lincoln University chancellor, Steve Smith, said Lincoln University is uniquely placed to lead this new initiative. “In addition to the multidisciplinary team, our network of farms allows us to integrate research across a variety of landscapes.” ¢

Council adopts plan

Artists a class act

A $12 million expansion to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre and the $21 million development of indoor court and sports hub facilities at Rolleston’s Foster Park are among two of the projects signed off with the adoption of the Selwyn District Council’s latest 10year Long Term Plan.

u by Kent Caddick

p A $21 million expansion to the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, which includes an additional 25m pool, a cafe and a fitness and well-being space has been given the green light

Council adopted its 2018–2028 Long Term Plan last week, signalling a series of landmark projects for the district. Major projects endorsed by council in the plan include an additional 25 metre pool for the Selwyn Aquatic Centre, a new indoor courts complex at Foster Park, new community centres in Hororata, Leeston and Prebbleton and an extension to council headquarters in Rolleston. Mayor, Sam Broughton, said the 10-year plan sets out an ambitious programme of new projects. “Selwyn’s population is set to grow by around 20,000 to around 80,000 people over the next decade,” Mayor Sam Broughton said. “This plan is a response to the challenges and opportunities of that

growth, and we’ve worked hard to ensure we provide the infrastructure and services our community needs while balancing the affordability of rates. “There are some big projects ahead, and we’re committed to getting them under way as soon as possible because we know how important they are to the whole community. “We’re also pressing ahead with projects already in progress, like the exciting Rolleston Town Centre development, and a Health Hub to bring key health services to the district.” Overall the plan forecasts average rate rises of 4% a year over the 10 years of the plan. In the coming 2018–19 year, the average rates rise will be 6%, with a similar rise in 2019–20. ¢

As part of its 20th-anniversary celebrations, the Selwyn Gallery in Darfield will be putting on an exhibition featuring seven artists who first exhibited their work at the gallery more than 10 years ago. The exhibition entitled Class Act Re-hung will feature works by Jane Bowman, Nicole Burke, Belinda CullenReid, Katrina Ellis, Jessica Gunn, Bianca van Leeuwen and Jaimee Peters and will run from June 29 to July 26. Malvern Community Arts Council chairperson, Philip Baldwin, said they are excited to show new works by seven young artists who first exhibited with them a decade ago. “The variety in their styles and choice of media will certainly make this an intriguing exhibition.” Mr Baldwin said. Among the artists is Darfield’s Belinda Cullen-Reid who is fascinated by dilapidated old farm buildings, machinery, paddocks and plantings as a result of her upbringing on a farm near Darfield. She uses acrylic paint and watercolours to build different textures through mixed media. In her work Malvern Community Arts Council’s arts coordinator Katrina Ellis explores contrasting elements in her work, from run-down old buildings paired with ‘pretty’ images, creating an imaginative world through cut outs and colour, to decorative elements in harsh typically non-decorative media such as charcoal.

p The work of Darfield artist Belinda Cullen-Reid will feature in the latest exhibition at the Selwyn Gallery

Meanwhile, Jessica Gunn is inspired by figurative artists and heavily influenced by experiences drawing Valentino and Dior on the catwalks of Paris. Bianca van Leeuwen has progressed from traditional forms of printmaking into digital photography and recently has returned to drypoint etching and monoprint to re-explore favourite images and locations such as Molesworth Station, Danseys Pass, Porter’s Pass and Birdlings Flat. ¢

Three-way tie at top of table u by Kent Caddick

Greenpark, Broadfield and defending champions Lincoln are all locked together at the top of the Selwyn premier netball competition after the latest round of action over the weekend. All three now have 10 points after three games of round two of the competition, with all three having drawn matches in the last couple of weeks. Following Lincoln and Broadfield’s 60–60 draw the previous weekend this weekend it was Greenpark A’s turn when it came up against the club’s B team at the Lincoln Event Centre on Saturday. In an entertaining match, no quarter was given in the battle of Greenpark with the B team showing its competitive side. With the last shot of the match, the B’s pulled level with the A-side to have the match all locked up at 50–50 at full-time. Greenpark A sits at the top of the table courtesy of a superior goal difference, but both Broadfield and Lincoln are also on 10 points. Broadfield had a relatively comfortable 56–34 win over Southbridge B, while Lincoln was made to work a bit harder for its points against Southbridge A, before running out winners 64–51. Meanwhile, Rolleston and Broadfield B sit atop of the points table in the Premier two division.

Southbridge returns to winning ways

Defending Coleman Shield holders Southbridge regained some momentum with a win over Prebbleton when the Ellesmere division one competition got underway properly over the weekend.

p Prebbleton fullback Avenal Rokosuka slices through the Southbridge defence

With the teams carrying over their points from their Ellesmere derby games during the just completed Canterbury Country rugby competition, won by Waihora, Prebbleton sat alongside Waihora at the top of the points table. However, in a tryless match, Southbridge ground out a nine to three win with the boot of Shannon Donald doing the damage for the Coleman Shield holders at Prebbleton Domain. Meanwhile, Waihora opened up a gap on the chasing pack with a 43 to five thumping of Rolleston in Tai Tapu. Waihora is now five points clear of Prebbleton and Darfield, which had

a commanding 38–13 win over West Melton on Saturday afternoon. Lincoln had a 41–14 win over the hapless Hornby, which has yet to register a win this season. In a minor upset, the combined Burnham Dunsandel Irwell (BDI) side had a win over competition newcomers Springston, which had reached the semifinal stage of the Canterbury Country rugby competition. BDI had the home advantage and took the match 36–28. Full results: Prebbleton three vs nine Southbridge; Waihora 43 vs five Rolleston; Hornby 14 vs 41 Lincoln; BDI 36 vs 28 Springston; West Melton 13 vs 38 Darfield. ¢

Winter days are short, they can be wet and cold, and you might rather be inside rather than out, so the more maintenance that can be done on finer sunny days, the better. The cooler temperatures provide the opportunity to catch up on that list of ‘round-to-it’ jobs that have been left because it was too hot to do them, or you were too busy, or just didn’t feel like it! In areas of heavy rainfall, get out the mower or weed eater along ditches and drains to ensure free-flowing water, so no damming up or flooding occurs. Clearing culverts of any broken branches or other accumulated deadfall while the creeks are low is a lot easier than trying to do so when they are full of water! Checking autumn planting that was done along waterways or hillsides prone to erosion, is another productive way to spend some time now, making sure they haven’t been washed out or needing extra support. Forward planning in this area is a worthwhile exercise to decide which plants and trees will be needed for next year’s plantings. Various programmes

p Plenty of firewood cut for the woodshed in autumn gives it time to dry before the winter months set in

and grants are available from some regional councils for landowners choosing to and needing to be environmentally aware. Household firewood will be required if your home has a fireplace, and this is a good way to clear broken branches or fallen trees, or even trees that may not be withstanding the rigours of winter storms. Keeping trees and treelines tidy should prevent them potentially falling on top of fences or power lines, and if you don’t need the firewood yourself, someone will. A little maintenance in the yard may also be necessary to save angst on a cold rainy day. Ensuring all your feeding

out equipment is in good repair, a quick service and oil changes done, even fixing that gate that doesn’t swing properly will save your dog from an entertaining run of expletives, as you stumble and slide in the mud later! If you use temporary electric fencing, check you have enough reels, plenty of standards, and that any battery-run units are charged. The maintenance list isn’t too long, doesn’t take too much effort, especially if you’re lucky enough to have family members to help out with some chores like firewood for example, and how satisfying it will be to run through a smooth winter! ¢

Body condition scoring for animal health Body condition scoring is important for any owner of sheep, cows or any livestock. Body condition scoring is a quick, easy way to get a good indication of the general health of your animals. Monthly body condition scoring is our recommendation to ensure your animals remain happy and healthy. The most common welfare issue, and the major reason for SPCA involvement is that animals that are thought to be too small for their age and underweight. More often than not, the animals are owned by small landholders — so lifestyle block owners should regularly condition score all their animals. Body condition scoring is a handson task. It requires your eyes and your hands. In cattle, there are eight points of the cow you need to check to obtain a body condition score. In sheep, there are three points of the sheep you need to check. With their wool, it is important to feel for the different points to get an accurate score on sheep. The main reason to do a body condition scoring is to make sure the animals are not too lean and their welfare compromised. Moreover, ensuring they are not overweight — as overweight animals are at greater

risk of metabolic and musculoskeletal conditions, especially around calving and lambing. It may also indicate health issues, whether it be infections, nutritional, trace minerals, parasites or other problems. At VetEnt Darfield, we advise monthly condition scoring of all your stock. This is a simple, easy task that you can perform by yourself, provided you know how to assess the animal. Alternatively, we can provide this service with our DairyNZ BCS accredited vet or technician. A quick consult with one of our vets at the clinic will provide you with a solid knowledge base, accurate resources and confidence to body condition score all your animals. Our new lifestyler package provides a comprehensive animal health plan to follow. Easier access to veterinary advice and reduce

It’s the very ‘leashed’ you can do u by Jill Dickie

Good dogs are hard to come by. The ones that are happy to stand by your side awaiting their next command, ready to perform perfect manoeuvres of athleticism as they complete your requests, and happy to lay in the sun at the end of a hard day’s work. All too frequently, however, with potentially inappropriate training, the reality is they will listen when they feel like it and spend their days snacking on almost anything resembling food, chasing feathered playmates, and barking obnoxiously at everything that moves. Obedience training goes a long way towards maintaining good control of dogs, and basic commands of ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘come’, and ‘leave it’ will definitely help people living rurally to keep their dogs inside the home boundaries. Imagine somebody left your gate open and you see your dog preparing to make for the exit. If he’s learned ‘come’ or a solid ‘sit/stay,’ it could save his life. ‘Leave it’ is also a helpful command to use when your tail-wagger steals your work gloves, feasts on horse manure or chases chickens. Once a dog knows what is required of him, training him to work off a whistle cue rather than verbal is often quicker and more effective, and keeps your voice

free for the sometimes necessary back up plan of curse words and arm waving! While going through these training processes, well-maintained fencing will help keep your dog from wandering onto the road, chasing your neighbour’s expensive alpacas or even worse, biting at precious stock, which may, in turn, lead to their death. Once a dog starts this not-soappealing habit, it is extremely difficult to have him stop. The use of electric collars and extra obedience training may work for some but not all, and sadly the safest option to protect against further incidents and injury is to put him to sleep. It’s worth bearing in mind too that since many dogs excel at digging, jumping and even climbing — it’s difficult to make a fence completely canine-proof. If you want to ensure your pet stays home while you’re away at work, keep your dog confined in the house or a secure kennel. It’s just as important to be a good

Save Lives

Owner and director, Grant Wadley, recommends that homeowners do their research and go to the experts when purchasing heat pumps. “It’s all too easy to select a system that seems like a bargain but simply does not do the job. Customers need to be aware of potential pitfalls such as size requirements, where a system is located, possible issues with installation and lack of after-sales service.” Heat pumps can be an expensive mistake that results in homes still not being heated sufficiently. Grant explains that even a good quality system can be poorly installed, and that’s where Enviro Master comes in. The family-owned business specialises in heat pumps and air conditioning systems and is proud of its reputation for providing customers with independent expertise and great service. Stocking a wide range of heat pumps including all the leading brands, Grant and wife Michelle can recommend a

product that is just right for the client and their individual needs. Whether it is Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin or another quality brand, their team will suggest a system based on customers’ requirements and the environment that the heat pump will be operating in. All major brands are now offering a new range with R32 refrigerant, which is more efficient and environmentally friendly. Panasonic has just introduced the newest heat pump to the market and the only Floor Console available with R32.

Getting your renovation off to the right start If you’re planning a spring renovation project, or want to be educated about the build process, then make sure you attend one of the FREE Build Right Homes seminars at the Star Home & Leisure Show this weekend. Not only will you find some great ideas from industry professionals, but learn how to create a living space that fits your lifestyle. “The need for people to be informed and realistic is paramount,” says Rex Lawrence, director of Build Right Homes. “Often people find that their ideas may not be a reality for the home they are currently in and the budget. Importantly, if not, that’s where our company’s 12 years’ experience and expertise can suggest how people can still achieve their dreams — but with a little bit of compromise.” There are a lot of factors to consider in the build process: from choosing the right builder for your project; what to consider before you start a home renovation including building permits or exclusions; how to add value to your home by getting smart with your renovation ideas; budget restrictions, and importantly not over capitalising financially on your project. At Build Right Homes, “we believe the planning process is crucial to the success of any build project, says Rex Lawrence. More time spent at the planning stages means the better the end result.

“One of the things we want to stress is that although building TV home renovation shows both here and overseas can provide excellent examples for ideas unfortunately, they often fail to reveal the real ‘planning’ time that makes it appear everything can happen overnight or the next day with the renovation process”. Build Right Homes have a wellestablished reputation for completing high-quality residential projects within budget. Their focus on quality workmanship and attention to detail results in many referrals in an ever-changing industry. Build Right Homes offer free consultations
