The Human Milk Bank in Christchurch provides screened pasteurised donor breast milk for the sick and preterm babies in the Neonatal Unit, and the bank is in desperate need of breast milk donors to help with demand. “One in 10 babies born is admitted to a Neonatal Unit, sometimes only for a short stay, but it is a stressful time for a family,” says Human Milk Bank manager Anthea Franks. “Unfortunately the milk bank has low supplies of milk at the moment and are looking for new donors. Breast milk is more easily digested than formula milk, especially for preterm babies. “Providing donor milk supports breastfeeding mothers in those early days after birth as they work hard to establish their own milk supply under frightening and emotional conditions. To that end, donor milk is seen as a supplement, not as a replacement for a mother’s own milk as the breast milk profile is specific to each family.” Milk from registered donors is pasteurised, that is heat-treated in the same way as other food, to ensure milk that is given to these vulnerable babies is as safe as possible. “As much as 70 litres can be dispensed to more than 60 babies in the unit and on the maternity ward at Christchurch Women’s Hospital a month. The Human Milk Bank relies on the kindness of healthy breastfeeding mothers who have a desire to help other mothers and a surplus supply of milk. These mothers are screened for lifestyle choices and undergo a blood test as part of the process of becoming a registered donor to the milk bank. “There are often donors from Lincoln, Prebbleton, Rolleston and West Melton

“Company owner Jeoff Hampton is always looking for something to help our customers and make life a bit easier. He saw this and thought we have the room so why not provide the service at our site,” says manager Sandra Frazer. “It is away from the forecourt and in a quiet spot behind a fenced area so that dogs and children are safe. It is $10 a wash and the machine is a touchpad and coin-operated with the EFTPOS option coming soon. “You have the option of fragrance, and the dog is placed on the slip-proof pad

where you shampoo, rinse, condition and add flea and tick treatment if you want. “When people come to fuel their car up with their dog, we give them a dog biscuit, and this is one more thing to add. It saves a lot of mess at home, and there is safety glass — so you shouldn’t get wet. “We think it is going to be really popular. I did a Facebook poll, and around 150 people requested the service. We are really excited to get something new and make our premises a one-stop-shop in Darfield.” ¢

Trying a triathlon Children from across the district are gearing up for the inaugural New World Rolleston/Dragonfly Cafe Kids Triathlon that will be held on December 8 at Foster Park. “I have lived in Rolleston for five years and created the event so children can try doing a triathlon in a less crowded space before entering the bigger events,” says race director Regan Turner from Enduranz Events. “The owners of New World and other local businesses have been very obliging and given us great prizes. We want to encourage children into the sport by making it fun and affordable. It is a good taster and designed to be achievable for every child. With a smaller crowd, they won’t feel so intimidated and can go on to do the Weetbix Kids and others knowing what it is like.” The inaugural event is limited to 300 spaces. “Being a part of the first event will be really special, and next year once the stadium and pool are completed, we will cater to more competitors. They start in groups of 10, and it is not timed. There are first, second or third prizes, and every child gets a gift at the finishing line. “The five and six-year-olds have a duathlon of running and a bike ride. They can have parent support throughout the

race. Ages seven and eight will do the swim, bike and run as well as the nine and 10-year-olds and finally the 11 and 13-year-olds. We are hoping to have a few special people come and join in. “There will be kids out there training prior, and there will be prizes up for grabs such as a $500 voucher for the Inter Islander ferry.

Test series warm-up

Appreciation for volunteers

Based in Canterbury, shearer Troy Pyper backed-up his selection for a return to the New Zealand team for this summer’s transTasman series with a successful defence of the Ellesmere A&P Show.

Multiples NZ is an organisation, which supports parents that have multiple births such as twins and triplets and Selwyn resident Sophie McInnes was recently presented the Volunteer of the Year Award and Stacey Oldham the Emerging Volunteer of the Year.

p Troy Pyper, winner of the Ellesmere A&P Show’s Open final, pictured at the Golden Shears this year

Troy didn’t have it all his way in a four-man final, with a narrow victory over runner-up, former national representative and Marlborough shearer Angus Moore. There were just 12 seconds in it as Troy was first to the finish, shearing the 10 long-wooled sheep in 9min 53sec. Once all the time and quality points had been collated, Troy got the nod by just 0.1pts. Troy had seven wins in New Zealand last season, including a second New Zealand Corriedale Championships title in Christchurch. With three transTasman tests behind him in 2015– 2017, he regained a place when runnerup and first New Zealander home in the national Merino Championship, which was won again by West Australian shearer Damien Boyle in Alexandra. He plans to continue the shows in

New Zealand before heading to the away test in the 2019–2020 transTasman series, in which he will team with fellow Southland shearer Nathan Stratford and new international Paerata Abraham, of Masterton, in Dubbo, NSW, on November 29. The Dubbo visit will also include test matches for New Zealand’s two new world champion teams — blades shearers Allan Oldfield, of Geraldine, and Tony Dobbs, of Fairlie, and woolhandlers Pagan Karauria, of Alexandra, and Sheree Alabaster, of Taihape. Waikaka shearer Brayden Clifford, runner-up at the Waimate Spring Shears, successfully defended the Ellesmere Intermediate title he won last year and William Duncan scored his first junior win by a narrow margin over Alice Watson, from Marlborough. ¢

p Sophie McInnes receiving her award from Ainslee Jacobsen, Multiples NZ President

“Sophie is a volunteer extraordinaire and a key member of the Multiples Canterbury committee. One of the key things Sophie has been responsible for is our new website and emails. She has also run playgroup, helped with events, funding grants and more,” says organiser Caroline Lister. “Nothing is ever a problem, and she can be relied upon to do a job without any issues. Sophie is always looking to support people and provide helpful, sensible advice as well as a laugh. The development of a website is a whole job in itself, but she has done so much more than that and deserves the recognition of this award — she is truly the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ to us.” 1D Cardale St, Darfield

Multiples Canterbury became an important part of Sophie’s life when she had her twins. “It was definitely my village when my twins were younger for support, advice and socialising with other mums. Volunteering evolved when someone stepped down from running the local playgroup. I stepped in, and things snowballed from there. I encourage others to join us. If you join in the first year, you get a free box of diapers, and learn how to handle more than one baby at a time and gain other practical advice. “We will have our Multiples Canterbury Fundraiser Market at the Riccarton Racecourse with toys, books, baby gear and more for sale on Sunday, November 17 from 9am to 2pm. It is a great place to come along and meet us if you are interested in joining.” ¢

Rubbish is collected every week from either a 240-litre or 80-litre wheelie bin. Households can also use 60-litre rubbish bags, which are available from council service centres and supermarkets. All rubbish must be in official Selwyn District Council rubbish wheelie bins or bags. There is a weight restriction of 60kg for 240-litre bins, 30kg for 80-litre bins and 12kg for rubbish bags. The bin must not be overfull, and the lid must be closed for collection. If your bin or bag is too heavy, it may be tagged by the contractor with a note

informing you why it was not collected. Put your bin or official Selwyn District Council rubbish bag on the footpath, grass verge or berm closest to where the collection vehicle passes. Do not place bins on the road and do not place bags on top of the bin. It should be clear of trees and other obstructions and be placed facing the road. Extra items placed next to or on top of the bin will not be collected, except for official council rubbish bags placed next to the bin. Put your bins out at kerbside by 6.30am on collection day, and bring them back in the same day. For all the details head to selwyn. govt.nz/rubbish. ¢

SOIL QUALITY FACTSHEET

PRESENTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH VICTORY LIME

Reduce your NPK fertiliser cost by 50%

IT IS understood that growing almost anything increases your soil acidity or lowers the soil’s pH. While Aglime easily corrects acidification the final target pH level for optimum nutrient availability is and always has been a moving target. The absolute building blocks for growth such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Sulphur and Magnesium, are not even close to their peak availability at a pH of 5.5 as shown in the table below. As you can see a pH at 5.5 seems inefficient and illogical. However, a pH between 6 and 6.5 increases availability exponentially and even starts peaking across many nutrients.

WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL PH AND WHY?

Your soil’s pH is one of the

key drivers in making nutrients available to the plant. With a pH that is too low (< 5.5) trace minerals such as Aluminum become available which can heavily diminish growth or even kill crops. While the general consensus is that a pH of 5.5-5.8 is ‘good enough’, the science just doesn’t back this up.

“One aspect that has baffled us for years, is the apparent disconnect between fertiliser application and the availability or efficiency of the very nutrient being applied due to soil acidity.“ Almost every element of a fertiliser is represented in the nutrient availability table. When you are spending good money on fertiliser, you should be concerned if your advisors aren’t ensuring that the nutrient you are applying is at, or near, maximum availability. If they are not, you need to ask yourself why not? Maybe they have a vested interest in selling more fertiliser? One of the fastest ways to neutralise soil acidity and increase pH is to apply lime. Liming is relatively cheap, especially when you consider that a shift in pH could potentially double the efficiency of a fertiliser in both the short and long term. The fertiliser efficiency table indicates this point and goes some way to show how a capital investment in lime may affect your overall and ongoing annual fertiliser spend.

vanRoestel, J. (2014, March). The Value of Maintaining a Good soil pH.

NOT ALL LIME IS CREATED EQUAL

As a rule of thumb 1 tonne/ha of high quality Aglime will raise the pH by 0.1 pH unit. Therefore a 6 tonne/ha application is required to increase the pH from 5.7 to 6.3. To maintain the optimum pH of 6.2-6.5, maintenance applications of at least 500kg per annum will be required. The above rates are based on high quality Aglime – that means a lime equivalency or ‘as delivered’ Calcium Carbonate content of 90% or greater. The particle size should meet New Zealand Aglime standards of 50% passing 0.5mm and no more than 10% passing 2mm to allow good even spreading and

consistent long term release into the soil. Consider solubility and ensure you are dealing with a limestone resource that has been proven to lift pH as expected. Talk to a few neighbours, they will know the history. Keep in mind that many lime companies can create specific lime and fertiliser/mineral blends prior to dispatch to make your annual applications even more cost effective. SOIL PH TESTING

It is vital that you have a comprehensive soil test done prior to any fertiliser application to show what other trace minerals are present. Talk to your specialist lime company today.

Animal control survey Kirwee Challenge celebrates

The Selwyn District Council’s Animal Control bylaw survey is open for members of the community to have your say.

u by Ann van Engelen

Stuart and Edwina Jones and their staff at Kirwee Challenge Service Station celebrated 40 years of success last week.

Our population is growing, especially in our townships, and this means the number of pets and animals we have in and around our homes is growing too. Pets and animals are important to our community’s wellbeing, but with increasing numbers of pets and animals, we also need to have sensible regulations around how animals are managed and controlled in Selwyn. Dogs are already managed under separate legislation. So we are now starting to think about developing a bylaw that will help manage issues to do with the keeping of other animals in urban areas. It will particularly

deal with public health, safety and nuisance problems. As part of this, we will also be considering whether any specific controls on cats should be included in the bylaw, such as microchipping and desexing. Council is seeking the community’s input on some of the areas to be included in the proposed bylaw. Your feedback will help us develop a draft bylaw, which will then be opened for formal consultation in mid-2020. To have your say, go to selwyn.govt. nz/animalbylaw and complete the online survey. Feedback closes at 5pm on Friday, November 22 2019. ¢

There have been a lot of industry changes over time. For a start, interest rates started at 18 per cent, with our second mortgage being 22 per cent and our margin on fuel was just four cents a litre, and that is slightly better now. “We have a full-service centre and seven-day dairy p The Jones family celebrating 40 years at their service and post office.

Scottish ancestry celebrated Scottish ancestry looms large in the background of many New Zealanders, and the Hororata Highland Games celebrates both Scottish and Kiwi culture to create a captivating festival at the Hororata Domain with gates opening at 9am on Saturday, November 9. “The games are ‘sonraichte’, meaning special in Gaelic. These games have been developed by a group of passionate volunteers who have put their heart and soul into making them the amazing event they are today. There is no other festival quite like it in New Zealand,” said event manager Cindy Driscoll. “Our community loves welcoming visitors to the games, and it is a highlight of the year for many.” Traditional Scottish competitions take place with the festival hosting New Zealand’s biggest one-day highland dancing competition, toplevel pipe bands, solo pipers and drummers, tug o’ war teams and strong men and women competing in the heavy events. “The Junior Warriors see primary schoolage children competing in light versions of the Heavy events, while the Kilted Mile provides an opportunity for the fleet-footed to gain a coveted trophy. The competitions are the heart of the event, but the festival elevates them to the next level. In amongst the stalls, food vendors and fairground are activities including the ‘Have A Go’ activities — tossing a caber, spinning wool, archery, small bore rifle shooting and the mighty Tugging Rig.”

All of these products go through the process of cold smoking, an art, which comes down to us from ancient times and that served to replace the fridge when such appliances were not invented. With the resurgence in barbecue lore, hot smoking is a common practice, allied to the low and slow cooking techniques, which produce melt-inyour-mouth ribs and brisket. Moreover, cold smoking opens up a world of other possibilities, so long as it is performed well and managed with good food safety in mind. This last part is important as cold smoking is, as its name suggests, done cold. Even lower than room temperature, in fact. Which means that, unlike hot smoking, it’s not a cooking method. Instead, it’s used to help impart a delicious taste to meats, cheeses and even mushrooms, tofu and some kinds of whiskey. An important first step when looking to cold smoke is, of course, buying a suitable smoker. It should definitely have an offset smokebox, so that heat from the burning wood chips and pellets does not raise the temperature where the ‘magic’ is happening. The key to cold smoking meat and fish is to cure it well beforehand. It slows the bacterial process down to near zero; it’s what our tribal ancestors used to do, long before the advent of the freezer. Dry curing is time-consuming but renders up delicious meats like prosciutto and real bacon. The meat is painted with a solution using special curing salts and then slowly smoked for up to six months. That is a long time for smoking for the home user, so most people in modern times use a bringing method. Making a solution with 10 to 15 per cent salt to water, and soaking fresh meat in this solution for up to six weeks for very large cuts — less for smaller joints and seafood. Salmon, for example, can be treated with a paste of salt and sugar with water and brine for two days in the fridge.

After brining, wipe down and dry the meat and start up the smoker. Allow for enough fuel to keep the cold smoking process going for two days for maximum flavour. Things that don’t need curing include mushrooms, vegetables like capsicum, and cheeses. After two days of cold smoking — the results are well worth the effort. There really is no substitute for the flavours unlocked by the cold smoking process, which is different from hot smoking in character. Remember that cold-smoked foods are still raw, and should be cooked prior to serving.

SUPPORTING MEN’S HEALTH

Supporting men’s health Across New Zealand and around the planet, the month of November has a new name, Movember, to raise awareness that fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. The Movember charity movement says ‘men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent — that’s why we’re taking action. We’re the only charity tackling men’s health on a global scale, year-round.’ The most visible sign of participation in Movember is simply (for men anyway) growing a moustache as a walking talking billboard supporting the charity addressing some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention. The movement is independent of government funding, so can challenge the status quo and invest quicker in what works. In 13 years Movember has funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects around the world, and it has a target date 2030 to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%. While there’s a passive investment in growing a moustache, supporting men’s health can also be active with what’s known as the MOVE challenge — a 30day physical fitness challenge by running or walking 60 kilometres during the month. Hit it fast. Take it slow. Run solo. Join a team. Go outside. Call on friends and family to back you with a donation. Set yourself a challenge that tests your limits, whether it’s a mountain to climb, learning to swim or running a race in costume. Movember works with global men’s health partners and academic and clinical institutions to accelerate improvements to some of the biggest health issues faced by men and funding

Make sure friends, family and colleagues know about the challenge you’ve set yourself. You’ll be surprised by who’ll chip in with a donation. Then keep the updates coming — as you progress towards your goal, you’ll inspire more people. Don’t run the risk of getting worn out mid-month. Keep things moving with a little creativity. Get a team together to motivate each other. Plan a workplace training session — a great chance to ask for donations. Let your supporters set you bonus challenges in return for cash. Organise an event to get more people moving. A good time is a great Movember motivation. ¢

100 IT’S NOT A TARGET

Celebrating his greatest adventure u by Andy Bryenton

We all know that Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to scale Everest and that he traversed the icy wastes of Antarctica by tractor. The adventure he calls his greatest ever has now been made into a feature film, Ocean to Sky. It follows his 1977 voyage from the mouth of the Ganges river to the top of the previously unscaled Akash Parbat. “It was a sort of dream that Ed had had for a long time: the idea of going all the way up a river from the ocean and finishing up on the top of a mountain,” said fellow adventurer Graeme Dingle. “It was quite an appealing sort of idea, and I think when he suddenly realised that he could do it in an indigenous New Zealand machine (the jet boat) that it really struck on.” Perhaps this was because the jet boat, developed by Kiwi genius Bill Hamilton, allowed access to places that a conventional craft could not go. Sir Ed wanted to not only trace the holy river to its source but to meet the people along the way and document on film the grand and rugged landscape through which it flows. A boat with a prop would likely get stuck in the rapids and gorges of the upper Ganges; the jet boat, with its innovative system, was a revolution in ‘77. This adventure proved that it was tough, clever and fit for purpose. Those are words that could describe the character of Sir Ed himself on this

809 Jones Road Rolleston

p Sir Edmund Hillary conquered not just Everest, (with local expedition guide Tenzing Norgay, pictured here) but also the 2,525 kilometre-long Ganges river and the mountain at its source

epic journey, made more poignant as it was, for him, a pilgrimage to commemorate the death of his wife and daughter in an aeroplane crash. The expedition faced altitude sickness, tigers, raging rapids and more before forging onward. Director Michael Dillon

captures it all, including interviews with contemporaries and fellow adventurers, in a motion picture that highlights not just a grand tale of exploration and international cultural understanding, but also the coming of age of the jet boat as a classic Kiwi invention. ¢

THE RECORD November 6 - 2019

Auto & Marine

Iron in the blood The year 1957 is one which will go down in history as the high water mark for a certain motoring aesthetic. The beloved style of ‘57 shines through in classics like the Chevrolet Bel Air, the original Chrysler 300 C, the Cadillac El Dorado and an all-American machine that’s still made to this very day. It’s the Harley Davidson Sportster, and for 2020 it’s getting a retro-modern new look. In many ways, it’s hard to believe that the Sportster (the bloodline is now designated the XL1200) has been with us longer than the Beatles. There’s a timelessness, which the designers of the 2020 Harley Davidson range have tapped into when creating the profile of both the Iron XL1200NS and its more retro-themed stablemate, the FortyEight Special. Things take a while to change in the world of Harley bikes, with a definite sense of ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it’ prevailing across the range. Part of this is because the classic styling of these American road machines is at the heart of what makes them popular. Harley Davidson is still pushing the barriers; note their revolutionary allelectric motorcycle, revealed last year. They have concocted a winning formula during the years, and in the Sportster XL1200 range, they have stripped that sound, feel and look down to the basics. That means a ‘peanut’ tank with retro graphics, fat tyres, mini-ape style handlebars, strategically blacked-out components and a low-slung solo seat

on the Forty-Eight Special, giving it an aggressively old-school look while still offering the power and reliability of the Evolution engine in its latest form. The Forty-Eight name comes down from 2010, when a special retro edition of the Nightster (itself a special edition ‘sporty’) was released, with cues going back to the post-war years. The current edition doesn’t come standard with whitewall tyres, but deck it out in black and add some, and this might be one of the best looking bikes

on the streets today. Then again, that’s just opinion; the beauty of this bike is that you really can have it any way you please. There’s a good reason that the funsized Harley Davidson has lasted the distance, even in the shadow of its brothers like the mighty Road King. That’s because this nimble, free-spirited and simple bike has been putting smiles on faces since 1957. Take a ride this summer and you’ll find it’s hard not to join in. ¢
