Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton encourages the community to listen to the advice of the Ministry of Health and keep informed. “Things are changing every day, and it is a time of uncertainty. Self-isolation is not just keeping to yourself. It is taking part in a community to ensure the virus has as little effect on our neighbours as possible. With less public events occurring, there is an opportunity to care for and share time with those you live with. “The Selwyn District Council has initiated a number of things including increased cleaning of facilities and flexible work conditions for staff.” Pandemic plans are in place to ensure that essential services such as roading, water, sewerage and stormwater, refuse collection, etc, will continue to be provided, says chief executive David Ward. “We are also prepared to support New Zealand health agencies with the sharing of information and by making Civil Defence staff available. Ways to help minimise the risk of transmission from flu-like illnesses include avoiding close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections. Wash your hands frequently with warm soapy water, cover coughs and sneezes, and wash your hands regularly.” Like with any other illness, people who feel unwell should stay home, prioritise their wellbeing and look after themselves.

A single 20 year old Pinus radiata will offset all the greenhouse gas through the life of 1 sheep. 1.5 trees will offset 1 cow’s gas for one year. 5 trees will offset the carbon from 1 car for 1 year.
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.

Public campaign starts Pyper completes a double Selwyn District Council has started informing landowners of the latest findings on flooding and coastal hazard risks, and how it’s proposing to manage them in the new District Plan.
“The council, with the help of Environment Canterbury, has carried out computer-based flood modelling to predict the extent and depth of flooding that could happen during a one-in-200 year and a one-in-500-year flood,” says SDC’s group manager Environmental and Regulatory Services, Tim Harris. “As a result of having to assess the risk from flooding in a 200-year flood event, a much larger area of the district has now been identified as being susceptible to flooding. While the biggest change from the current District Plan is the size of the district that is affected in some way, we are proposing to manage flood risks with similar restrictions to what’s in the current District Plan.” The main change council is proposing is new dwellings built on affected areas would be required to have a higher minimum floor height. For the majority of properties, the increase is likely to be only a few centimetres. “The council is expecting to notify the Proposed District Plan for formal public consultation by the middle of this year, when people will have the opportunity to make a submission on any of the proposed provisions, including how

the flood and coastal hazard areas are mapped.” It’s expected that the new Proposed District Plan will be fully in place by mid2022, subject to any Environment Court appeals. Until then, the current rules for building and resource consents continue to apply. For more information, including maps with affected areas and technical reports, check out the council’s engagement hub Your Say Selwyn at selwyn.govt.nz/districtplanreview. Affected landowners are invited to public drop-in sessions to talk to a planner about their property and how the proposed changes may affect them.

“It was the first time in at least a decade that any shearer had won both of the North Canterbury finals in the same season,” said Shearing Sports NZ media officer Doug Laing. “Based in Amberley, from Southland and winning at Sefton for the second year in a row, Pyper’s wins came a week after he was the top New Zealander in a trans-Tasman series win at the Golden Shears in Masterton. Breaking a run of five consecutive Australian wins in the annual home-and-away matches. In Masterton, he was also third in the PGG Wrightson Wools National Circuit final.” The weekend pair, with a margin of more than four points above runner-up and Rangiora shearer Hugh De Lacy in both finals, takes Pyper to eight wins in open finals this season and a career total of 24. Shearing the 10 Cheviot
final sheep in 9min 35.21sec, he was the only shearer to go under a minute a sheep, putting a sheep round both others on the three-stand board. Third, was Rangiora shearer Lyall Windleburn. Liam Norrie, of Cheviot, won the senior final, and Ben Forrester, of Leithfield, claiming intermediate honours. Alice Watson, of Blenheim, won a junior final, which included Golden Shears junior finalist James Wilson, of Winton. At Sefton, Winton shearer Brandon Maguire Ratima won the senior shearing final a week after his Golden Shears senior final win in Masterton. Brayden Clifford, of Waikaka, won the intermediate final on the back of a second placing at the Golden Shears. Ashburton shearer Chase Rattray won the junior final, and blades honours went to Noel Handley, of Rangiora. ¢

Nathan Wallis, the host of the documentary All in the Mind and co-host of the TV Series The Secret Life of Girls is coming to Darfield High School to present his talk — Engage Your Brain on Tuesday, May 5. “The talk focusses on the social/ emotional aspects of brain development for two to eight-year-olds and adolescence and how feelings impact our thinking,” says event organiser Oonagh Beharrell. “I have watched his videos online and listened to his interviews and found his research on play-based learning very helpful with my parenting. I thought it would be great to get him out to Selwyn so other parents, educators and caregivers can share in the wealth of his knowledge in person. “The topics are relevant to all learners who want to feel engaged, enthusiastic and passionate about what they do. He highlights how play-based learning helps our tamariki to develop. It is about gaining skills to engage with others, how to take turns and get along with others through relational skills at any age. “Children need to know about boundaries, how to regulate feelings and name them, and we all need to discover how to calm ourselves down. When we are in an aroused state, it is OK to feel, but we need to be able to name the feeling. It is a lifelong process, but the earlier we gain the skill set, the better equipped we are and the two to

Hororata Primary School 150th postponed u by Mike Isle
The Hororata Primary School 150th Jubilee celebrations, planned for this weekend, March 20–22 2020, have been postponed due to the developing situation with Covid-19. Hororata Primary opened in 1870 and is one of the few schools in Canterbury that is due to celebrate its 150th milestone. “We still hope to hold the jubilee within 2020, the school’s 150th year, however, we are unable to set an actual date due to the evolving nature of this virus,” said the committee chair Rod Oliver. “With hundreds of people registered to attend the celebrations from all over New Zealand and internationally — we feel this a necessary precaution. “We met Sunday afternoon, and the decision to postpone was unanimous. The committee has been working towards this event for
the past two years, and while it is disappointing, it is the right decision for our community. “We felt postponing the event was necessary to protect our community and to play our part in the national response to minimise the effect of this virus. At the rate, this situation is escalating the committee felt we needed to make this decision now rather than wait for further directives from the government. By making the announcement now we hope this gives people time to change their travel arrangements. “We are a strong, caring community, and I am sure everyone will support the committee with this difficult decision.”

“We are volunteer-based, and the key to our service is that we provide practical support in the form of cooked meals for families who wouldn’t have that help otherwise,” says Selwyn branch coordinator, Jeraldine Teng. “We have had an increase in volunteers, which is amazing, and we have had great support from local community funding. We recently updated our kitchen equipment through a Foodstuffs South Island community grant. We are very grateful for this help as it has been three years since we purchased cooking utensils such as frypans. “Last weekend we combined forces with the Christchurch Bellyful branch to
marshal at the family X-Race. Families ran the obstacle course, and it was a lot of fun. Children as young as three years old competed. The X-Race organiser gives us a donation for helping — which is a huge help to us. “Our branches are going strong and had a cookathon in February to restock our freezers ready to give to people who need food support.

Supporting young locals Scholarships from the Selwyn District Council are helping Selwyn young people thrive beyond school. Six tertiary education scholarships were awarded to year 12 and 13 students at Darfield High School, Ellesmere College and Lincoln High School in 2019, for a broad range of tertiary education and training. This year, scholarships will also be offered to students at Rolleston College. Students are encouraged to apply if they have overcome barriers or hardships, achieved academic, sporting, cultural and art successes at school, in clubs or organisations. Mekaela Fleener, from Ellesmere College, received the scholarship to purchase a university-level violin for her music studies at Canterbury. “I think the scholarship is a really neat opportunity, especially for those who aren’t good at getting high marks, who might have merit in other places,” said Mekaela. Molly Barker, from Lincoln High School, used her scholarship to purchase seven health science textbooks for her studies at Otago University. “The scholarships are a way to support them through the expenses of their first years of study. There are many ambitious young people in Selwyn focussed on furthering their education to in turn contribute to their

Councillor Jenny Gallagher has been involved with the scholarships for more than five years. “Often, young people from smaller districts or towns don’t have the same sort of access to scholarships. I am pleased the council has made sure Selwyn youth have similar opportunities to those in bigger metropolitan areas,” she says. ¢

p Daniel and Amanda Schat milk cows that produce the much sought-after A2 milk
The couple is in their second season milking 385 mainly Holstein Friesian cows on 103-hectares. Prior to purchasing the irrigated property, they were 50/50 sharemilkers on an 800cow farm owned by Daniel’s parents at Te Pirita. The previous owners supplied A2/A2 milk to Dunsandel-based milk processor Synlait, but there was no guarantee the Schats would get a contract. “We knew we had to supply Synlait here. A2 milk is taking off, so we took an intelligent gamble,” said Daniel. “We had our 800-cow herd tested to find out which cows had the A2/A2 gene. We sold any that didn’t, which was about half the herd. We were 50 cows short of what we needed. We had to sell some amazing, high-producing cows but
it got us into a great financial position to buy our first farm.” The couple were fortunate to secure a contract to supply A2 milk to Synlait just before the start of the 2018–19 season. They are paid a premium of 20 cents a kilogram of milksolids above the normal milk price. They are on target to produce 180,000 kgMS this season, meaning their special milk is worth an extra $36,000. “That extra money has been greatly appreciated, especially in our first year of farm ownership.” The Schats, are one of about 80 Synlait farms providing milk free from the A1 protein in the South Island. The milk is said to have health benefits for people who have trouble drinking regular milk. ¢

Formally Stephen Thom Glazing 2012 Ltd
These days we take it almost for granted that a phone call will summon for us a master craftsperson or professional who can practise their trade for us in our own home or on the farm. Things were very different, though, in medieval times, when people were forbidden from moving around freely by feudal laws. The first ‘free agents’ in the trades were the journeymen, and part of this is thanks to a mistranslation! Ancient guild law gave three ranks to craftspeople, those of apprentice, journeyman and master. The ‘three degrees’ of rank are still preserved by very ancient guilds like those in London, and by groups like the Masons. The term ‘to give someone the third degree’ refers to the tough spoken-word exam used to test journeymen and see if they were ready to become masters; that’s why it refers to a fierce interrogation. Apprentices, as today, received less pay and took part of their wage in education. It’s the second group, the journeymen, who were the first on-call professionals. The original term comes from the Latin ‘diurnus’, for ‘day’. It was translated into French as ‘journee’ when France was the superpower of medieval Europe. Hence a ‘journee-man’ was a fully qualified person who was paid day by day for their work and could work for any master by negotiation. He was allowed to switch job sites at will, seeking the best pay for his efforts, and could travel at a time when many common people could not, taking his gear on the road in a horse-drawn wagon. The only restriction was that the ‘journee-man’ was not allowed to hire his own staff until he had produced a perfect example of his craft to be inspected by a board of masters. That was literally his ‘masterpiece’. Some

think that a mistranslation of ‘journee’ as ‘journey’ led to the practice of German guild members of the second rank actually being sent on a three-year tour of Europe to hone their skills.

Pets & Equine Why cats bring presents u by Andy Bryenton
After being domesticated for more than 10,000 years, the common cat still retains all of the instincts of a predator. Which is why a sometimes unwelcome scenario unfolds in kitchens and bedrooms across the world every morning; the house cat has once again brought home something furry, feathered and dead. Of course, sometimes it isn’t. It has led to the first theory as to why cats like to bring things back to their owners; that they are teaching us how to hunt. Wild cats do indeed bring back small prey animals for their kittens to practise with, such as field mice. It’s a chance for a mother cat to share some hunting knowledge, and for her family to learn how to hunt for their own mice and other prey. However, it’s notable that on many occasions, it’s a male cat who brings back the most ‘presents’, or that the offering is always 100 per cent deceased, with no educational value. That leads to theory two — reciprocation. Cats are smart enough to know that we provide for them, and they are keen to contribute. That could be why some cats bring home dead rodents, and why others snaffle socks, shoes, clothes and even stranger items. One Baltimore, USA cat, was known to cat-burgle remote controls from neighbouring houses. Animal psychologists think that these generous kitties are trying
to give something back in exchange for all those canned dinners, proving their value to the group. That has led to a third theory, which credits cats with even more intellect, and explains why sometimes the little gifts they bring are half-eaten. Cats have 300 million neurons (connections in the brain) compared to 160 million for dogs, so it’s entirely possible that they know we dislike or even fear rodents. By fulfilling the role of mouse and rat warden, they are aware that they are doing something we can’t do (without traps or poisons), and they want to show they are doing a good job. Some even posit that this is a learned behaviour. As, in ancient times, a human would be more likely to forge a bond with a cat that was demonstrably keeping down the population of rats and mice around the farm. Unfortunately, the same may be true for birds, which used to be seedpecking pests to old-world farmers, but which are prized native fauna here in New Zealand. ¢

Chairman confirms retirement Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited chairman John Monaghan has confirmed that he will retire as a director of the co-operative when his current three-year term ends at its annual meeting this November. In a note to the co-operative’s farmerowners and unitholders, Mr Monaghan explained that his decision was the next step in the Fonterra Board’s development and succession planning. “After 11 years as a director, and having seen through the introduction of our new strategy, operating model, and with our debt reduction efforts well progressed, the timing is right for me and the co-op,” he says. “The board is committed to a planned chair succession that provides Miles and his senior management team with the governance stability and confidence they need to maintain the co-op’s momentum.” Fonterra said its board’s current plan was to announce a chair-elect by no later than August this year. That timeline would give its farmer-owners transparency of leadership prior to the co-operative’s director elections and allow for a period of handover before Mr Monaghan retires from the board. Under Fonterra’s constitution, its chairman must be selected from its pool of seven elected farmer directors on the board.

Farming ‘n’ Lifestyles
The ‘wizard’ vs the farmboy u by Andy Bryenton
One was called the ‘Wizard of Menlo Park’ thanks to his inventions, which transformed modern society. The other was a farmer’s son from Pahiatua. When the pair faced off over creating a new way to milk cows, all the smart money was on Thomas Alva Edison, enthroned as the ‘new Isaac Newton’, friend of industrialists Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone. However, the smart money would have lost. In turn-of-the-1900s Wairarapa, machinery was becoming a bigger part of farming. The leather belts, steam engines and turning wheels of wool processing machinery, and the shuttle ploughs and timber mills, which ran off traction engines fascinated young Norman Daysh. He knew that others had been trying to perfect a milking machine for some time. Previous attempts had all been made by engineers and scientists who did not have his practical experience. As a Kiwi farmhand, Norman was all too familiar with milking cows, and he knew that contraptions that hurt or scared the animals would be useless in the shed.

Thomas Edison had fixed his sights on various designs, in an attempt to do for dairy what others had done before him for grain with the combine harvester. The inventor of the record player and the light bulb examined ideas with rollers, gripping automaton ‘hands’, pulsators and many other concepts. None was practical in the reality of the farmyard, where complicated machines could be kicked to pieces or contaminated with dirt, and anything that spooked the cattle would cause more harm than good. Contraptions with belts, springs and tanks for the cow to wear were rejected out of hand. Enter Daisy, the first cow to experience a modern milking machine.

Daysh achieved remains the basis of our company today”, and worked with Daysh to release a revolution in farming in 1917. The farmer’s son from the back blocks beat Edison, who was thankful for the advancement even if he didn’t win the race. In his later years, he swore by fresh milk as a health tonic, and Norman and DeLaval’s creation kept it in ready supply. ¢

In the farm kitchen of Norman Daysh, this pioneering animal was the test subject for his final development. It was a milking machine of the kind we know today, vacuum-powered, with cups that mimic the action of a suckling calf. Daysh took out a swathe of patents, then set off for New York, where the DeLaval company accepted his idea with open arms. They have been quoted as saying that “What Norman
